NEWS – Back in the Spring, I reviewed a new product from Mophie, their MagSafe travel charger kit. It was one of my favorite products for the year. With MagSafe for iPhones, AirPods, and the Apple Watch, it’s the trifecta of wireless power. There is a whole other world out there, however. What about those who […]

REVIEW – Bluetooth speakers – they’re everywhere. This new one from EarFun intrigued me for a couple of reasons. Let me explain.

REVIEW – When I moved into the home I purchased about 2 years ago, there was an 18″ dishwasher installed. I am not sure why the previous owner chose such a small size when he rebuilt the kitchen, but I guess that worked for him and his family. I started using it but soon found

REVIEW – I have reviewed lots of headphones, earbuds, and audio speakers here at the Gadgeteer.

REVIEW – I’ve been on the hunt for the perfect paper notebook replacement. I’ve tried a couple of other e-note devices and thought I found the one I liked. Since then, I was given the opportunity to review the reMarkable 2 paper tablet. I have since changed my mind about which device is right for

REVIEW – I’ve been slowly amassing a mechanical keyboard collection through my own purchases and through review offers sent to us at the Gadgeteer. I’ve tried clicky and silent mechanical switches, metal and plastic builds, tiny ten-keyless versions, wired and Bluetooth, and even swapped out switches and keycaps on multiple boards. The great thing about

REVIEW – We all need to power stuff. Traveling complicates matters as we tend to bring along power-hungry things like laptops, tablets, phones, headphones, cameras, well, you get the idea. Trying to bring chargers for everything complicates matters and takes valuable packing space. The recent move to gallium nitride (GaN) rather than silicon for charger

REVIEW – Biking in the US is a dangerous proposition in daylight. At night, it’s almost a death sentence. Being visible takes both a bright light and the ability to focus it on your road ahead as well as toward the vehicles (hopefully) sharing the road. A new light on the market, the Wuben X1

REVIEW – The Drop + EPO H3X gaming headset is a collaboration between the e-commerce company Drop and EPOS Audio, formerly known as Sennheiser Communications.

REVIEW – I’ve been a longtime fan of building with Legos, but lately, I’ve been experimenting with Lego alternatives. I recently built JMBricklayer’s 3-in-1 medieval weapon, and now I’m trying something a bit more domestic: Funwhole’s Lakeside Lodge. I’m hoping that this medium-sized set that comes with its own lighting system will be fun to
REVIEW – Electric vehicles are everywhere nowadays, and it can be tough as a parent to pick out an electric mobility option for a kid or tween with the vast array of choices. Many are dangerously fast for kids, or woefully underpowered, or have a restrictive short range. I’ve seen sketchy scooter and e-bike models
