Reviews about interesting gadgets, gear, mobile technology and lifestyle products.
REVIEW – I’m on a quest to find the most lightweight set of components that can turn my phone into a “computer” when needed. That means I need a Bluetooth keyboard, a Bluetooth Mouse, and maybe even a way to connect to an external monitor. But for today, let’s focus on the keyboard, a Foldable …
REVIEW – Truly wireless earphones used to be hard to find and expensive as well. They’re now widely available and at all price points. House of Marley has entered the game with the Liberate Air. If you’re not familiar with House of Marley, it’s brand created in collaboration with the Marley family that focuses on …
REVIEW – The proliferation of wirelessly-charged devices has led to a growing market for devices to wirelessly charge them. We currently have four Qi-enabled devices in our home, and I expect that number to continue to grow in the years to come, so I’d been on the lookout for a charging pad that can charge …
REVIEW – It’s that time of year where we risk life and limb to decorate for the holidays. For many of us, that involves lights and the requisite swearing that comes from burned-out strings. LED lights have definitely reduced that, but they’re still just lights, right? Twinkly says “NO”! Lights can be more! What is …
REVIEW – I had been toying with idea of getting both a dash camera and a backup camera (to assist with hooking up trailers) for my 2000 Chevrolet Suburban for the past 6 months. When the call went out looking for reviewers for a dual camera dash cam, I thought “Why not try to kill …
REVIEW – I have been researching mesh networking systems to try and solve the problem of excess traffic on my home WiFi network. I hope to create an isolated wireless network for my home office. I volunteered to review the Mercku M2 WiFi Mesh system based on a review the the systems specifications. What is …
REVIEW – As an audiophile, I have always invested heavily in clean and capable power distribution for my audio system. These types of devices offer great isolation and clean power for each outlet and well as great protection against surges. However, for my separate smaller system like my TVs with high-end soundbars, the larger and …

REVIEW – Do you have more than 1 device you need to charge simultaneously? Yeah, dumb question, scratch that. You want to fast-charge at least two devices at the same time. Enter the Aukey Focus Duo. It has 2 ports, sure, but can it get the job done? Say it along with me: read on …
REVIEW – I’ve dabbled with recording video from time to time, but I’ve never used a gimbal. The FUNSNAP Capture 2 smartphone gimbal offer came along so I thought I would give it a try. What is it? The FUNSNAP Capture 2 is a 3-axis handheld stabilizing gimbal specifically designed for smartphones and action cameras. …
REVIEW – There are so many Apple Watch bands out there, but few have caught my eye. That all changed when I saw Groove Life’s Dimension Topo strap with its distinctive pattern on both the outside and inside. What is it? The Groove Life Dimension Topo is a strap that is available for all …

REVIEW – Aukey recently updated its Minima 27 watt wall charger charger. It was a quiet change – in fact, their web site still shows this as a 27 watt product, so perhaps the change was too quiet. Regardless, the new incarnation – which looks exactly like the old – is out and about. How …
REVIEW – The Adonit Note Plus is a new Bluetooth enabled stylus from Adonit. Its main features include palm rejection, pressure sensitivity, and programmable shortcut buttons. I wrote this review using the stylus and Notability. Read on to see what I think!
REVIEW – “When it rains, it pours” is not always a bad thing. I signed up to review a single Aukey Power Delivery solution, and was surprised when they sent me a box with 5 products from their PD lineup. Challenge accepted – let’s open the umbrella and start at the small end: the Expedition …
REVIEW – I’ve needed a new pair of Bluetooth headphones for quite some time now, but I never got around to deciding on which ones to get. I decided to give the Status BT One On-Ear wireless Bluetooth headphones a try. What is it? The Status BT One On-Ear headphones are wired and wireless Bluetooth …

REVIEW – I realize that I’m in the fringe group of people that is constantly on the hunt for a new iPhone case. It’s not that there’s something wrong with cases that I have (well, maybe a little), but more that I appreciate the detail and care that goes into their creation as I used …
