T20 in-ear headphones

The T20s benefit from the same kind of cool steel housing and filter-changing sound signature customization options as the award-winning T10i models and the T10s we reviewed last month


  • RHA says that its proprietary DualCoil dynamic driver has been engineered to deliver levels of audio resolution, clarity and detail beyond what a conventional earphone driver is capable of. 
  • Within each metal-injection-molded steel housing are two independently-powered voice coils positioned around a micro ring magnet in concentric formation.
  • The T20s benefit from the same kind of cool steel housing and filter-changing sound signature customization options as the award-winning T10i models and the T10s.
  • The audio signal from a source player reaches the driver housing, it's split in two.
  •  The upper mids and treble frequencies are directed to a copper-clad aluminum outer coil, while a second, inner coil gets busy with the lower mids and bottom end. 
  • The coils work together to manipulate a specially engineered diaphragm that features a second (inner) apex

Microsoft Surface 3: 5/8/15

Before running our full review, Gizmag takes an early look at Microsoft's Surface 3 (Photo: Will Shanklin/Gizmag.com)

  • The Surface 3 has shrunken-down and lower-powered Surface Pro 3 (SP3). 
  • It is easier to pick up and carry. It can be use casually, without its keyboard, than the Surface Pro 3. 
  • It's noticeably thicker and heavier than the iPad Air 2, but it's still very manageable as a tablet.
  • Its boxier 3:2 aspect ratio makes it much better in portrait mode than any of the first- or second-generation Surfaces ever were.
  • This is also the first non-"Pro" Surface that runs desktop apps and supports pen input. 
  • It uses the same Surface Pen that works with the Surface Pro 3, and everything works exactly the same here. The only annoyances are that the Pen is sold separately here and that you can't magnetically snap it onto the side of the tablet.
