I’m a big music lover.  I listen to music in my office with a surround sound system, in my car on my Bose speakers and I listen to my iPod when I go to the gym. So, when I received a press release through BlogCritics.org about reviewing new headphones, I...

I don’t want to sound self-serving but I will tell you something… one of the most special things about the staff at HJMT is that they consistently give back to the community. For starters, we have a scholarship program for a high school senior. The scholarship goes to a student...
