His "Invisa-Shield" is all an illusion, of course, getting its magic primarily from a large lenticular sheet. Want… READ THE REST
The TREBLAB HD-Max is a booming Bluetooth speaker with powerful, satisfying volume
The biggest frustration most Bluetooth speaker owners face is when they realize their speaker is completely inadequate for serious booming. They may be perfectly fine for casual, indoor listening, but if you're taking the speaker outside or trying to boost your tunes over the dull roar of a party, you'll need extra horsepower on the… READ THE REST
