It’s not often that a company revisits one of its best-selling desktop audio monitors and dares to make a “Pro” version that’s actually worthy of the title. But IK Multimedia has done just that with their new iLoud Micro Monitor Pro—an evolution of its original iLoud Micro Monitor, which we reviewed and totally raved here about in late 2016.

When it comes to tuning in to music or podcasts, let’s be real – most earbuds aren’t exactly a joy, especially if you’re settling in for a long session. And those bulky over-ear headphones? They can turn your ears into saunas and won’t even warn you about what’s happening around you. When making or taking calls, it’s hardly a pleasure for either party, even if you are in your car on your hands-free, due to all the external unwanted noise.

You can’t get in without a PIN!!!

Our physical and personal safety is always important, but how often do you think about your data? Now you may feel confident having securing your desktop computer or laptop, but it’s so easy to overlook those handy and convenient USB Flash drives – often called USB sticks or thumb drives.

They are typically used for easy backups sharing data or to move files from one device to another – but what if they have your latest tax returns, sensitive personal information or even family photos?
