ThinkTank Airport Roller Derby – Review

There are several rolling suitcase-like camera packs on the market, but I’ve yet to see one that can match the Airport Roller Derby for smoothness and durability. The pack is slim enough to roll through the aisle in an airplane and will easily fit into most overhead compartments. Unlike a similar ThinkTank product I reviewed about 18 months ago, this one comes with four dual wheel sets instead of single wheels. These wheels are so responsive you can move this pack, fully loaded, with one finger.

Over-ear Headphones by Share Brands – available in five colors – Review

Share Brands headphones are cushioned, comfortable, and stylish. Sound is decent, but quality drops off at the lower end of the spectrum. Adequate for non-audiophiles and listeners not fussy about superior bass and crisp highs, these headphones come with a 5.7 foot cable and standard 3.5mm plug. They can be used with any iOS device or desktop computer. Thereâ’s an inline control button on the cable that allows users to switch between music and phone calls when a call comes in.
