I think that Optoma did a good job, but unsure if it's enough to stand out in what's now becoming a crowded market. I would definitely recommend the BE6i, though. It's solidly built, functions well, sounds good, and is competitively priced, at $129. My...

Overall, these BE6i in-ear headphones sound like the real deal. It could be because this is a second generation version of a good pair of wireless earphones. Although I may have run into some problems with the connection using this earphone, the pros...

There was a time when listening to music through Bluetooth headphones was akin to listening to MP3s: If you really cared about music, you just didn't do it. The fidelity of the MP3 files will never get any better, but the quality of audio streamed over...

Now, I don't know about you, but I find my loudest and most excitable friends tire me out and give me a headache quite quickly, and so it can be with many of the IEMs I have listened to. The BE6i was an honest but still a very entertaining friend to...

It's hard to knock the Optoma NuForce BE6i. The sound quality is good enough for a pair of in-ear headphones, and we don't expect this good of build quality at $130. While we wish there were fewer issues with Bluetooth connectivity and fit, my...
