Ugreen PowerRoam 2200 Portable Power Station review – It’s big, heavy, powerful and great

Ugreen PowerRoam 2200 14

REVIEW – It would be ridiculous if they weren’t so useful. I’m referring to the mind-boggling selection of power stations available today. Large, small, and everything in between, power stations deliver juice in spades to our power-hungry gadgets. This review covers the Ugreen PowerRoam 2200 Portable Power Station. It’s big, it’s heavy, it’s powerful and […]

Bluetti AC2A Portable Power Station review – Simple and powerful

Bluetti AC2A 22

REVIEW – Five years ago, I reviewed my first power station, the Jackery Explorer 240. In those five short years, it’s become clear that we’ve come a long way. Today, there are countless makers of small—and large—power stations and Bluetti is at or near the top. While they make massively powerful stations (some can power

The Withings ScanWatch Nova – A smartwatch that doesn’t look like a smartwatch

Withings ScanWatch Nova 3

NEWS – Do you like the idea of a smartwatch, but hate the look of a digital screen trying to emulate a traditional watch face—not to mention its abysmal battery life? You may be able to have that digital cake and eat it too. Withings, a leader in connected health devices and the inventor of

Clckr Case and Stand review – Tough cases at a not-so-tough price

Clckr 3

REVIEW – As I said in a previous iPhone case review, I never have my iPhone “naked”. It is always in a case. Sure, I would love to use it without a case, but there are two reasons I don’t. First, I paid a lot of money for my “overpriced toy from the company with

CASETiFY iPhone case review – So many cases to choose—one single perfect one for me

Casetify Case 3

** IMPORTANT: Watch this video before proceeding with the review ** I also want to make very it clear that we did NOT know about this before we posted the review – Julie/Bill CASETiFY’s response from Twitter/X: CASETiFY has always been a bastion of originality, and we hold pride in that. We are currently investigating

Tribit StormBox Flow Portable Speaker review – As good as it gets

Tribit Flow 2

REVIEW – Of all the portable Bluetooth speakers I’ve reviewed, Tribit is the brand that supplies my daily driver speakers, so to speak. Their StormBox line of water resistant speakers sound way better than the price would indicate. In fact, the StormBox Micro 2 is my favorite “take anywhere” speaker—period. I use one in the

SOUNDBOKS 4 Speaker review – still ridiculously loud, but way more refined

Soundboks 4 22

REVIEW – I reviewed the SOUNDBOKS (Gen 3) speaker a little over two years ago. Nothing—and I mean nothing—has approached this speaker in volume. It can put out more raw decibels than a rock concert. It’s 30 times louder than a lawn mower! I could go on, but let’s just say it’s L.O.U.D. Well, SOUNDBOKS

Edifier NeoBuds Pro 2 True Wireless Noise Cancelation In-ear Headphones review – Are they a worthy successor?

Edifier NeoBuds Pro 2 5

REVIEW – A couple of years ago, I reviewed the Edifier NeoBuds Pro True Wireless earbuds. I Liked them—quite a bit. In fact, I still have and use them. Now, Edifier has released their successor—the NeoBuds Pro 2 True Wireless Noise Cancelation In-ear Headphones. Edifier has promoted the “earphones” from Earbuds to In-ear Headphones. Is

Oladance OWS Pro Earphones review – I’m not sure what they are, but they sure sound good

Oladance OWS Pro 10

REVIEW – This review needs to begin with an apology to Oladance. When I first saw their OWS Pro earphones, I thought they were bone conduction technology—something I’ve never liked. I could not have been more wrong. The OWS Pro earphones are something you need to hear to appreciate. Nothing else works or sounds like

Linsoul Audio Kiwi Ears in-ear monitors reviews – 3 versions satisfies 3 different preferences

KiwiEars 1

REVIEW – For some reason lately, I’ve been receiving (more than usual) audio speakers and headphones/earphones to review. I love it. Audio is my first love and playing with new gear is always fun. I’ve been having triple-fun—so to speak—with some Linsoul Audio Kiwi Ears in-ear monitors (IEMs). They wanted me to review the hybrid

Oakywood Desk Shelf Dual Monitor Stand review – So good, I don’t think about it

Oakywood desk shelf 11

REVIEW – Let’s talk ergonomics. Since working from home full-time for three years, I’ve acquired a Flexispot Odin standing desk and an X-Chair office chair—both made to improve my posture and help me lead a healthier life. Yet, something was missing. I discovered that my main monitor—The Huion 4K Kamvas pen display—sat on the desktop

Edifier TWS1 Pro 2 In-ear Headphones review – Good earphones made great by the price

Edifier TWS1 Pro 15

REVIEW – Of all the Edifier products I’ve reviewed, the TWS1 Pro 2 In-ear Headphones are the first I’ve used that are stemless. Many in-ear headphones (earphones) now come with stems as popularized by Apple’s original AirPods—such as Edifier’s award-winning NeoBuds line. These look and fit much like earphones that go inside the ear. So,

New Soundboks 4 Speaker – Loud, proud and “Turn that d**n thing down!”

Soundboks 4 2

NEWS – 2 years ago, I reviewed the extremely loud SOUNDBOKS (Gen 3) speaker. In conclusion, I said, “. . . you can deliver 126 decibels of “Turn that down or I’m calling the cops”. It was—and still is—one bada*s speaker. Of course, a company that would unashamedly make such a speaker is going to

Otterbox Fast Charger 1

Flexispot C7 Premium Ergonomic Office Chair review – How much is comfort worth to you?

REVIEW – It’s said that there are some things in life that you don’t go cheap on. Shoes, mattresses, and things you use all the time can affect your enjoyment of life. I would put office chairs in that category—especially if you work from home (as I do). If you’re going to sit in a

Gaomon PD156 19

REVIEW – In my multi-year career as an art director and children’s book designer, I’ve used quite a few graphics tablets. And over the past few years, I’ve reviewed many other graphics tablets, both with and without screens. Some I now use every day in my work—I like them that much. And while I may

Tribit FlyBuds C1 True Wireless Earbuds review – Really good earbuds overshadowed by a glitchy app

Tribit FlyBuds C1 9

REVIEW – You gotta love a company like Tribit. Why? The reason is simple—Tribit makes products that perform exactly as advertised, are reasonably priced, and just plain work. I’ve reviewed 8 different Tribit audio products and my favorite is also the least expensive—the Tribit StormBox Micro2 speaker. This little wonder, as do most of Tribit’s

Status Between 3ANC 13

REVIEW – I’ve made it no secret how much I like and appreciate my Apple AirPods Pro earphones. What they may lack in sound quality (they do sound great) is more than made up by their convenience. I like them so much, that I talked a friend into buying them. Let’s just say he did

Allpowers R600 15

REVIEW – If you are looking for a power station today, the choices available can quickly become overwhelming. It seems like everyone and their uncle is selling these things. So how do you sort it out? What I do when evaluating a power station is to try and decide what the buyers’ needs are. Sometimes,
