REVIEW – I really didn’t care about headsets until everyone was videoconferencing from home. Generally, headset microphones sound better to your audience than the one built into your laptop, and the on-ear speaker gives you listening privacy. The ESKA H5 headset boasts “AI-Powered” noise reduction in a professional-looking package. What is it? The model H5 […]

REVIEW – I’ve seen “noise machines” in doctors offices. Maybe you have too! Years ago I bought one for a family member, but the LectroFan EVO is an all-electronic devices with 22 different sound options. Time to put them side by side. What is it?

REVIEW – I really don’t like using the speakerphone on my iPhone, because I don’t like how others sound when THEY’RE using a speakerphone. I don’t want to sound like I’m “in a cave” or distant. Maybe the Beyerdynamic SPACE speakerphone will put those concerns to rest for me. What is it? I know Beyerdynamic

REVIEW – I’ve seen portable power stations with lead acid batteries. They’re all pretty heavy! LiFePO4 batteries are more commonplace, and a quick Amazon search will turn up many.

REVIEW – I’m constantly measuring things in my workshop. I’ve been using a dime store plastic caliper for decades now, but just to get in the ballpark. Small rulers are getting harder for my eyes to read. Perhaps the Qfun 6 inch digital caliper with LCD display will find a home with me! What is

REVIEW – I used to have many of those cube-shaped iPhone chargers, until I gave them away to people who “needed a charger”. Over time, I’ve been keeping my eye out for chargers with USB-C, but I still need the “old” USB-A charger, too. Thank goodness I got the chance to review the Unitek USB-C

REVIEW – I may have too many vacuum cleaners. There’s one for the upstairs, another for downstairs, and a few handheld units around the house. I wondered if the new Dyson Humdinger would be a handheld vacuum to rule them all? What is it? The Dyson Humdinger is billed as the most powerful, lightweight handheld

REVIEW – I’ve been on the hunt for the “perfect” clear case with Magsafe for my iPhone 12 Pro. I found the original Apple clear case with Magsafe to be too slippery, and the buttons were too stiff. Would the Smartish Gripmunk with Magsafe Slim Case fare any better? What is it? The Gripmunk with

REVIEW – One of the main frustrations I’ve had with the Apple Mac Mini (M1, 2020) is the low number of ports, and that they’re always on the back. I’ve tried various hubs but none seem to be as slick as the Satechi stand that sits neatly under the Mac Mini itself. I got to

REVIEW – When the iPhone with MagSafe charging came out last year, there was only one clear case with Magsafe- the Apple one. I found that case extremely slippery with buttons that were hard to push.

REVIEW – In the last few years, my son was introduced to airsoft. One of my Dad Pet Peeves is how he keeps his airsoft rifle in the flimsy cardboard box it came in. Fortunately, an affordable, well made alternative came my way from LA Police Gear (LAPG). What is it? The LAPG 36″ Rifle
