REVIEW – 6 months ago, I packed up my wonderful Bowers & Wilkins 607 speakers I used for music and TV sound ( along with a subwoofer and two Audioengine speakers for surround) and replaced them with the Platin Monaco 5.1 wireless surround sound speaker system. The Monaco 5.1 is a complete surround sound system—in …
REVIEW – As I’ve gotten older, I’ve reached that stage in life where I notice my hearing is not what it used to be. While I can hear fine, It’s understanding I have issues with—especially in a crowded area with a lot of background noise. This past year, the FDA finalized a ruling that allows …

REVIEW – There’s an old saying from author Margaret Wolfe Hungerford in 1878, “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.” Nothing proves her quote more accurately than the Trettitre TreSound1 Bluetooth speaker. Love it or loathe it, it’s a sight to behold. What is it? The Trettitre TreSound1 is a cone-shaped table-top Bluetooth speaker …

REVIEW – When I was sent the ERX earphones by Drop+Etymotic (built by Etymotic, tuned by Drop), my first thought was how much they would sound like just another pair of Etymotic earphones. Or would they have their own personality? Let me back up a bit. I’ve reviewed a few Etymotic earphones—and liked them for …

REVIEW – Sometimes, you just have to have the very best of something, whether that something is a car, boat, speakers, or even a pair of headphones. As long as there are music-loving people who demand and can have the best, there will be others more than happy to fill that desire. British audio company …

REVIEW – If you’re in the market for a large battery power station, this is a great time to buy. The selection is impressive and prices keep decreasing as capacity and features increase. It seems like everybody now makes a power station. Ampace is a company with a single available power station (so far), but …
REVIEW – Many times, I’ve reviewed a new pair of earphones or headphones and thought to myself, “Yet one more earphone/headphone to review.” This time I’m reviewing an earphone called 1MORE, so it’s more than appropriate to say that now. The 1MORE Aero True Wireless Active Noise Cancelling Headphones (1MORE calls them earbuds, I call …
REVIEW – For those digital artists who are looking to buy a pen display, it’s easy to overlook the pen tablets that started it all—those black slates with no built-in screen that lay flat on a desk. True, display tablets are wonderful—I use one every day, but I didn’t begin my career using one. That …

REVIEW – If you suffer from allergies, coughing, or just feeling down during various seasons, it may be related to the air quality in your home. For reasons I haven’t figured out, our family seems to be more sensitive to our environment than we used to be. I don’t think it’s the food we eat—my …

REVIEW – As the holidays approach, you may be thinking of either giving—or getting—a Bluetooth speaker as a gift. Unfortunately (or fortunately), there are so many to choose from, I almost feel sorry for the person who has to choose. I pay close attention to what’s available and I’m overwhelmed. Besides the big players in …

REVIEW – If you’re a digital artist, graphic designer, or just a photo hobbyist and you don’t already own a graphics tablet, you may need to rethink that. There are so many choices today among tablets, it’s becoming overwhelming. In digital prehistoric times, there was one company that made graphics tablets—Wacom. They were quite simply …

REVIEW – Let me say upfront that I am a fan of mid-century modern design. I love the clean, uncluttered lines, the smooth expanse of wood in the furniture, and especially the “atomic ranch” look of that period’s TVs and radios. Mid-century also recalls a simpler time that I’m sure I look back on with …

REVIEW – The Gadgeteer is a site for people who love gadgets (duh). Some of those gadgets will be common items and some may be the kind of gadgets that have limited appeal—except to those who can appreciate what it can do. Such is the case with the Atezr P20 Plus Laser Engraving Machine. This …
REVIEW – The portable power station market is getting interesting. Just a few years ago, all you could get were small, hand-held units with an AV outlet, a couple of USB ports and a 12V “cigarette lighter” port—all fairly basic stuff. Now, everybody seems to offer power stations in a vast array of sizes, ports, …

REVIEW – Since our last hurricane in Central Florida, I’ve become interested (my wife says obsessed) with battery power stations. These mini “generators” can power almost any device in your home (depending on their size and power) when the power goes out. You might think, ”Well, any gas generator can do that!” True, but gas …
