KZ-ZNA wired earphones review – How do they do it?

KZ ZNA 9

REVIEW – Last September, I reviewed the KZ Acoustics AS16 Pro Earphones. I noted that they were a bit too bright-sounding for me, but were great for stage work where accuracy is more important than listening enjoyment. The biggest selling point for them was the price: $73 (at the time the review was posted). This

Inmotion Climber electric scooter review – a scooter built to haul

inmotion climber 7

REVIEW – Electric scooters seem to be everywhere these days.  Unfortunately, that is mostly lost on me because I exceed the max loading weight for many of these consumer scooters.  But…Inmotion recently announced its new Climber model with dual motors and a max weight limit that I fit into!  I’m definitely pushing the limit, so

satechi usbc pro hub slim 6

REVIEW – I’m a dedicated Mac OS user and my primary computer is a late 2020 13-inch MacBook Pro which even after a couple of years, still has amazing battery life and power to tackle any task I throw at it. The one thing that isn’t so amazing about it is the lack of ports.

sylvox cabinet tv 01

REVIEW – I haven’t seen under cabinet TV’s since my childhood in the 80’s and 90’s, but in many homes this area is a perfect spot for a TV, and with the advent of the smart TV it may just be time for a revival. I’ve personally been using a smart display the last few

Oak Iron Wave Pro 5

REVIEW – Summer is almost here, which means it’s time to break out the inflatable paddleboards, inflatable kayaks, air mattresses for camping, and all those inflatable beach and pool toys!  Like most parents, I’ve had my share of lightheadedness at the pool after blowing up dragons, mermaids, and donuts.  And I’ve spent what seems like

Skycruiser TX 910 Metal Detector review – test your mettle as you meddle with metal!

Skycruiser TX910 08

REVIEW – The hobbyist’s metal detector has to be one of the most unglamorous gadgets. Perhaps it is the notion that it usually finds discarded trash or loose change. Can I find more than just trash with the depth and alloy detection of a Skycruiser TX-910 metal detector? Read on to see what I think!

EEEV 01

REVIEW – Whether you already own an EV or are considering one in the future, there’s more to it than just the car itself. Charging takes a little more planning and time than just hitting the gas station. The included charger is usually a low speed, lightweight 110v unit that can take up to a
