Ok so I know I linked to my Tumblr(What a way to greet you guys with a new post!) but to be honest, I don't post stuff or reblog stuff...its yet another social network/blog site that I have to learn or spend time on and frankly...I don't HAVE that time. I only check it maybe once a month, maybe 3 times a month. So if I don't post anything, its not that I don't care its just that....well, I don't care...(Do you see where I'm going with this?). In other words, if you expected anything out of following me, I'm sorry, I seem to have thought I could follow through with something I can't. Unfortunately that happens and I promise I'm working on changing that about myself.
IN OTHER NEWS:
A LOT has been going on in the technology world, good and bad(Don't get me STARTED on the new iPhones[s]) and thought I would cover some of the big news. THEN I thought "Wait a minute, that's what sites like CNET, TechCrunch, Engadget and much more are for... ". So why do I need to do that to you guys? I'd forgotten I am a REVIEW blog. So in light of that, I have a review for you guys!
If any of you have heard of the small audio brand NoiseHush, you know what I'm about to talk about. NoiseHush(I'm going to call them NH from now on) who makes a wide range of bluetooth devices(Including Carkits yay!) and other audio products, recently released a bluetooth clip-on receiver that tethers to your phone/tablet/random-
My rating on it would be 8.5 out of 10. Which for me, is very high. When it comes to electronic devices, I am a critic like no other...(My phone receives a solid 4 :p).
Now that we've gone over the good, lets go over the bad. I can think of some legitimate not so good things and a few trivial things(They count though..I'm a critic, remember?).

bluetooth-capable-media-device and has a 3.5mm jack to plug your earbuds/headphones into. What this essentially allows you to do is leave you music player(Phone, Tablet, Bluetooth enabled PC/Laptop etc) across the room while you listen to your music though your earbuds! Its extremely handy, has decent quality, excellent range of volume and to top it off, it even looks cool! It comes in several colors, has a pause/play(Also doubles as an answer/end call button. Did I mention it has a microphone?)
#1: If you have a high quality pair of earbuds and expect that quality to be the same with the NH, prepare to be disappointed. I have a pair of Vers Bass Boosted earbuds(Walnut) and when they are plugged directly into my tablet/phone/laptop, the quality is phenomenal. HOWEVER, when I plug them into my NoiseHush and tether them to the same devices via bluetooth, the quality is standard. I mean, yeah its pretty darned good, but don't go expecting things like bass boost to be part of the package.
#2: If you have earbuds that have a pause/play function and you want to use that instead of the NH controls, don't expect them to work. This might seem obvious, but you never know, it might've worked! However I only tested this with one pair of earbuds. Give it shot!
#3: I have not gotten it to work with Skype yet.....as far as I can tell the audio protocol is not static so the use of a device such as this is not feasible...sadly..
#4: The charging cord is not MicroUSB and its a little short....BUT it does charge quickly and its small enough to be very convenient. So this is almost a non-negative.

I'm still learning more about this device as I use it so a 'full' review probably isn't possible at this time. If you guys have any questions about the device, let me know, or go to thinkgeek.com and search for NoiseHush. You can also visit the NoiseHush website where they have many other products at noisehush.com.
If any of you like remote audio products, I hope you consider this one!
