I seem to be on a bit of a wireless headphone binge lately. Earlier this year I got to try out the JBL Everest Elite 700 headphones, which I liked quite a bit. Today I’ve got my hands on a pair of Samson RTE2 wireless headphones. They’re not around-the-ear headphones that I prefer, but the

For years, I thought all video projectors were gigantic behemoths with giant fans and stone-age resolutions. I guess a lot has changed from the 80’s, and there’s no better example of this than this smartphone-sized Celluon PicoPro projector.

First it was portable USB chargers, then Bluetooth speakers. Lately I’m seeing a lot of “web” cameras designed as security or monitoring devices. Today I’ve got the Kidde RemoteLync Smart Home Camera to try out.

A while back I reviewed the Mod-3 Radius case for the iPhone 5. It was a crazy cool minimal case that protected all corners with a simple x-shaped frame. Now Mod-3 is introducing a new version for the iPhone 6s and 6s+ called the Alt.

My name is Andy, and I’m a Flashaholic. I have a lumen problem. Ever since my first “cool” flashlight 30 years ago, the MagLite, I’ve been chasing the next go-to handheld torch. This illumination arms race has only escalated in the past 15 years with the introduction of better and brighter LEDs. Today I’ve got the

I avoid checking bags in while flying whenever possible. Additional bag fees? No, it’s the hassle of waiting for checked bags at the carousel, the risk of lost luggage, and the tendency to overpack. I tend to travel with lots of loose items (charging cables, wall warts, adapters), so what if I could find a
