Tech Squibs: 50 Cents’ SMS Headphones No Gimmick

This Tech Squib is worth at least a half dollar.

SMS offers multiple headphone designs — wired or wireless, on, over and in ear. With 50 cent as a majority owner, the company could’ve slapped his name on anything and sold plenty of units. Instead, they end result products tested here are legitimate audio components for discerning ears.

After CES 2014 in Las Vegas, we had a chance to try out multiple samples from SMS, including the wireless on ear and over ear Sync, the on ear and over Street and the Sync Portable Speaker, all provided elite sound for at least an approachable price.

Yes, there are cheaper units on the market, and 50 Cent’s participation is definitely a marketing tool. But, all that said, these are very strong entries in the headphone market that could’ve been “also rans.”
