Volume-limiting headphones might not be the most exciting thing, but they’re more likely to protect your ears from permanent damage.

One of my greatest fears in life is that I will cause irreparable damage to my ears. You see, I’ve been a little hard of hearing since I was a kid. I’m not sure whether this was caused by listening to my Emo music too loudly when I was younger or if my ears have always been this way. But what I do know is that I don’t want my hearing to get any worse.

When I heard that the PuroGamer Volume Limiting Headset was available and that it was specifically built to protect gamers from damaging their ears I was excited to test it out. Like with most things, it isn’t perfect, but it’s a great option for just about anyone. I tested these headphones for a couple of weeks to see how well they worked. While they can be used on several different devices, this review will mainly focus on how well they work with the Nintendo Switch. Now, enough with the chit chat; on …

Throwboy Pocket Pillows in two retro Mac shapes

Beanbag plush toy is perfect for Apple fans.
They come in two styles: 1984 and 1998, based on the larger Throwboy pillows.
Pocket-sized Throwboy pillows are available on Kickstarter now.
Throwboy is offering a Super Early Bird special at $11.
The regular price will be $19.

Throwboy first came to our attention with their full-sized pillows shaped like retro Mac computers and other popular Apple products. I own five of them, or at least I did until my children swiped all but one of them. CEO Hoyos initially just made the pillows for his girlfriend, who loved them so much she posted photos online. The photos went viral, so Hoyos put them on Kickstarter, and after a successful campaign, a business was born. Throwboy’s newest endeavor is a miniature-sized version of these popular pillows.

The new Pocket Pillows are crafted from soft vegan fine-grain plush. The bottom half is filled with poly pellets to give the pillow some heft, while t…
