In 2015, I moved my studio and business from my home to commercial office space. This has been one of my best business decisions!

But my new studio office is not acoustically ideal. The flat walls create reverb and I have a major interstate outside my window.

This video demonstrates some of my (ugly) acoustic-treatment attempts and their results.

is flash storage that fits perfectly into the SDXC slot of several MacBook models and leaves a flush exterior.

Software setup takes only a few minutes. Instead of making an additional drive, which could confuse your file management, TarDisk Pear and its software will intelligently re-allocate your storage to expand the drive you already have (whether it's spinning or solid-state). It will also keep your highest-demand files on your fastest internal storage while moving lower-demand files to its own storage.

The aluminum design of TarDisk Pear matches the Macbook unibody enclosure perfectly, and it sits flush with the edge of your MacBook.

is available in sizes of 128 GB and 256 GB with transfer speeds similar to professional SDXC cards (about 95 MBps).

are tiny, lightweight, extremely portable, and truly wireless earbuds with memory foam for extra comfort.

Instead of earbuds connecting to each other with a dangling wire, one Earin earbud acts as the master to the other. This results in truly wireless usage.

Earin needs no power button because they automatically turn on when you remove them from the pocket charger and they automatically turn off when you place them back into the charger.

The earbuds will give you up to 3 hours of listening time, and the charger can supply 3 full charges to the earbuds. After that, connect the charger to any micro-USB audio source to recharge.

The earbuds themselves are designed for comfort and performance. They use memory foam for a comfortable and secure fit, while also blocking outside noise.

are only 0.12 ounces (3.5 grams) are are light enough to stay in place during most activities. For extra security, Earin includes stabilizer wings that will ensure the earbuds won't fall out (even though they stay in quite well without the stabilizer wings).

The Studio case itself is durable and military drop-tested to protect your iPhone. Plus, there's an attachable wrist strap for extra security.

olloclip has created many highly acclaimed lenses for iPhone (such as the olloclip Active Lens), and these fit perfectly on the Studio case. No more removing your case to use a lens!

The iPhone buttons still function well, and the openings for the TRRS audio or Lightning port are large enough to accommodate most accessories.

I loved the design and features of this case so much that I bought one for myself!

easily clips onto iPhone to give you either 2× telephoto or ultra-wide-angle photos and videos.

The Active Lens is brilliantly designed to work with both the front-facing and rear cameras on iPhone 6/6s/6 Plus/6s Plus. It fits perfectly on iPhone 6/6s so no adjustment is needed for either camera. On the bigger iPhone 6 Plus/6s Plus, simply slide Active Lens a little to the left or right and it will pop into alignment for either camera.

Using the 2× telephoto lense is great for a more natural focal length in photography and videography, bringing the iPhone focal length to about a 58 mm equivalent.

Flip Active Lens around and use the ultra-wide lens for creative imagery, shots in close spaces, or to get more people into your shots.

Active Lens comes with a carrying case, lanyard, and three snapping protectors to make it easy to clip to your bag, belt, lanyard, or anywhere else.

The same Active Lens will work on either iPhone 6-line size thanks to its horizontal design as well as included vertical spacers that snap tightly into place with either iPhone 6 size.
