Master & Dynamics MH40 Wireless Over-Ear Headphones review – The third time is a charmer

By / / Reviews / / Leave a Comment
Master Dynamic MH40 2

REVIEW – In late 2019, I reviewed the 1st generation of Master & Dynamic’s MH40 Wireless Over-Ear Headphones. Except for the wireless part, they were visually identical to the original wired MH40 headphone—an iconic design if there ever was one. It’s mid-2023, and M&D has decided to not mess with a good thing and is […]

HiCozy Vacuum sealer 14

REVIEW – A few years ago, a friend gave me a FoodSaver vacuum sealer she never used. I barely knew what one was, but accepted it anyway because it is a . . . gadget. I am glad I did. If you aren’t familiar with what a sealer can do, it literally sucks the air

Charcoal standing desk review – a gorgeous and well-built desk that nudges you when to take needed breaks

Charcoal Desk 14

  REVIEW – If you are thinking of purchasing a sitting/standing desk and have perused many websites to gather information, you may have noticed that most—if not all—desks are hydraulic frames with a laminate/solid wood top attached. And while that’s a great combination, someone has come up with what they say is a better idea.

Ugee U1600 6

REVIEW – If you are an artist who uses drawing tablets, you may not have heard of Ugee. You may have heard of XP Pen or Xencelabs—but did you know both are owned by Ugee? What’s interesting is that Xencelabes is the new premium name in tablets; XP Pen is the mid-range while Ugee (the

Olight Seeker 4 Mini 15

REVIEW – I never used to pay attention to flashlights. If I needed one, I would trot down to Home Depot or Lowes and grab one—usually a Maglite (pre LED). My, how times have changed. I was blown away by a recent flashlight I reviewed, the Imalent MS12 Mini LED at 68,000 Lumens! It’s an

Edifier QD35 Tabletop Bluetooth Speaker review – Much bling and much sound in a single package

Edifier QD35 1

REVIEW – Face it, most Bluetooth speakers today sound decent enough to enjoy, and some even sound darn good. So, assuming all Bluetooth speakers sound good, what distinguishes one from another? Currently, it’s usually the design that is the deciding factor. How “cool” is it? It can be overly designed for the “In” crowd like

REVIEW – Does your job require you to sit all day? Mine does. I sit and stare at 2 computer screens all day in my art directing job. I love my work and can sometimes be so focused on what I’m doing that 5 hours can pass without taking a break (not smart). Sitting for

XP Pen Artist 10 16

REVIEW – In economics, there is something called the “Trickle-down Theory”, meaning the best of a few years ago works its way down to the rest of us mere mortals. While you may or may not agree with that theory, it does hold true for many products—notably display tablets. Features that were only in high-end

REVIEW – Four years ago (has it been four years?), I reviewed the Edifier W860NB Bluetooth Active Noise Canceling headphone. I liked those headphones but had some reservations I’ll get into later in the review. Four years later, Edifier has released the new WH950NB headphone—and boy, did they learn some things! What is it?

Eargo 7 Hearing Aid review – a definite help for those with mild to moderate hearing loss

By / / Reviews / 6 Comments
Eargo 7 12

REVIEW – If you are hard of hearing, the years 2017 and 2022 should mean something to you. In 2017, Congress passed the “Over-the-Counter Hearing Aid Act“ and in mid-2022, the FDA finalized the rule enabling access to over-the-counter (OTC) hearing aids. It took ‘em long enough. Before these historic laws, hearing aids were prescription

REVIEW – Before the two hurricanes hit my Central Florida home in 2022, I liked the convenience of portable battery power stations. After the flooding of my backyard and work studio, I now really like them and depend on them to get us through inevitable blackouts. So, when different power stations come up for review,

NEWS – If you are a photo retoucher, animator, or illustrator and don’t know the name Xencelabs, that may change this year. Xencelabs is the latest (I think) graphics tablet maker to attempt to overshadow Wacom, the king of tablets. Last year, I reviewed the Xencelabs Medium Pen Tablet With Quick Keys and said it

REVIEW – I’ve said it before: There are now so many decent to really good earphones/earbuds/in-ear headphones/whatever, that if you can’t find a pair to like, the issue is on you. Not only that but price and features both weigh heavily in the consumer’s favor. EarFun is one of those earphone/portable Bluetooth speaker companies that

REVIEW – Recently, I was sent the Treblab HD-Force portable wireless speaker to review. Ordinarily, I might or might not show interest in “another Bluetooth speaker”, but this one sparked an interest. It looked a lot like the Tribit StormBox Pro speaker I reviewed (and liked a lot) two years ago—but a bit bigger. I

Bowers & Wilkins Pi7 S2 review – How much better than the original?

Bowers Wilkins Pi7 S2 16

REVIEW – In audio (as in life), there exists what is called the law of diminishing returns. This law simply states that the more expensive products get, the difference in improvements of features and quality diminish. For instance, a $300 pair of earbuds will sound much better than a $100 pair. However, a $500 pair
