You ever play a guitar that went out of tune in the middle of a performance? It sucks. But the whole “tuning” thing sucks worse because strings, by definition and physics, go out of tune as they’re being played. So how can electronics pick up the slack? Check Korg’s PitchClip inside for more information.

Have you ever been in the middle of using your computer, only to wish that you could operate it hands-free? Do you DJ or want to learn how? Then check out what the mad scientists at Keith McMillen have created: a foot-controller that opens up a bunch of possibilities. At its most basic, the Softstep is essentially a keyboard for your feet; but when used properly, it gives you access to two more hands. I’m not going to guess what you’re going to do with those new hands, but I can tell you why this peripheral is one you should peep after the jump!

There’s three things a good pair of headphones better do: seal off the outside; have a dynamic range (i.e. make your stolen MP3s sound like crap); and fit well enough so that you can wear them for hours. Courtesy of good padding, custom paired titanium plated drivers, a 10Hz-20 kHz range and sensible adjustment methods, these Fanny Wang on-ear headphones do it all. If you’re looking for a pair of headphones noticeably lacking a rapper’s name on them, check these out after the jump!

Sipping the latest and greatest spirits on earth each week is hard work! Night in and night out, we pour drink after drink attempting to figure out what these liquor companies have done right and what they’ve done wrong. Our conclusion, as always, is they’ve gone wrong by not sending enough liquor… What they’ve done right is a little more complicated. So make sure to read our full reviews of Smirnoff Fluffed Marshmallow Vodka, Jeremiah Weed Cherry Mash Bourbon, and Southern Comfort Fiery Pepper after the jump.

If you’re trying to figure out what you want for the holidays, you should check out the Sony PlayStation 3D Display TV. Not only does it have the highest possible definition for both 2D and 3D viewing, you no longer need to share screens (i.e. split-screens) for two-player gaming. COED had the chance to get an early look at the 24-inch display which comes out on November 13th. Check out the full review after the jump (Glasses not included).

Last week, COED was given the opportunity to review a copy of Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception. I snatched the package up and took it home, excited for my first experience of what has been hailed as one of, if not the, best franchises for the PlayStation 3. You play as protagonist Nathan Drake in his search for a lost city buried with endless amounts of treasure. Did the game justify it’s acclaim or does Drake get buried under the hype? Find out after the jump.

In the past decade, Spider-Man has gone from comic book character to cultural icon. During that time, the web-slinger has kind of become an obsession of mine. When COED got invited to preview Spider-Man: Edge of Time, I was naturally pumped to check it out. The concept seemed impressive but I needed to play the final version before I made my official decision. Now that I’ve finished it, I can let you know what does and doesn’t make my Spidey Senses tingle. Click the link to read our review and to find out how to enter our giveaway.

You want to be able to access your files from anywhere in the world, but leaving them up in the clouds means that your files are capable of being accessed anywhere (by anyone) in the world. Sending them via email means the same thing. The only way you can keep your files safe is by actually keeping them on the computer until you need them. Enter the iTwins. These guys will make sure that only one person (you) can access whatever files you need from wherever you need them from. Check out our review after the jump!

About a month ago, COED was invited to play a preview version of NBA 2K12. At the time, we were really impressed by the new Legends feature, the presentation, and the gameplay. However, that was an almost-finished build. Now that it’s been released for sale, we finally had a chance to take it home and give it a full-court review. Check out how NBA 2K12 matches up against the competition plus find out how to enter our giveaway to win the game after the jump!

So you walk into the party and right from the get-go you realize that the tunes playing are total crap. You’ve got better stuff on your smartphone, but there’s no way you’re going to search for an audio cable to plug into the headphone jack or start messing with the guy’s stereo or some pair of powered speakers. That’s where the Kanex AirBlue comes in: first because it’s smaller than a hockey puck, but shaped like one and runs off rechargeable USB power, and second, because it’s got streaming Bluetooth-tech built in.
