With a Bachelor's Degree in Music Technology, Christian leverages his industry knowledge to review audio products for PCMag, including Bluetooth headphones and speakers. He also contributes to Tom’s Guide, Digital Trends, Mashable, ZDNet, and others, where he reviews audio, mobile, smart home, and computing gear.

The Tech I Use

Since I review such a wide range of products, the tech I use normally corresponds with whatever I happen to be reviewing. At my desk, I use a Mac Studio and a pair of Mackie studio monitors, while on the go I carry a 14-inch MacBook Pro with a pair of AirPods Max.

When I’m not reviewing a new Android phone, I can normally be found with the latest iPhone in my pocket. Lately, I’ve also been using AI for my work a lot more—but it’s not what you think. I use Superwhisper to transcribe my words into text, and because it uses AI, it transcribes with a high degree of accuracy.

Other tech I use includes the Aqara U200 smart lock, a Hisense U8QG TV, an Apple TV 4K, and an electric toothbrush that my dentist keeps telling me I’m using wrong.
