OneOdio Monitor 80 headphones review – Open or closed?

OneOdio Monitor 80

REVIEW – If you’ve done any professional audio mixing, been a DJ or consider yourself an audiophile, you probably know just how expensive a quality set of open back monitor headphones can be. A decent entry level pair will set you back around $150 to start, and as you turn towards the pro side, north

Tekto Skar OTF Knife review – Release your inner John Wick (just not with this knife)

Tekto Rev 106a

REVIEW – Some knives are just inherently cooler than others. For me, it doesn’t get much cooler than an automatic OTF (out-the-front) knife. There’s something about flicking a switch and having a razor-sharp blade spring forward that makes me feel like a secret agent, or a notorious hitman named John Wick for that matter. The

cloud nine ergotkl 4

REVIEW – Many of us spend a lot of time at a keyboard, typing reports, writing reviews, emails, or other content, gaming, and other creative work. We don’t always think about what that’s doing to our necks, backs, shoulders, and other areas of our body if we don’t have the right posture and if our

makeid l1 1

REVIEW – Our daughter is getting ready to move into her first apartment, and she’s a bit of an organizer.  When she saw the Marklife P11 label maker that I had reviewed for my wife, she decided that she needed one for herself; thus, I’m going to be trying the L1 label maker from MakeID.

OTD L2-H Electric Scooter review – solid all around scooter

OTD scooter 21 1

REVIEW – When OTD offered to send over their latest L2-H electric scooter for review, I’m not sure what I was expecting. I’ve ridden scooters of this style with no motors, gas motors, and a range of electric motors (from barely-able-to-move to too-fast-for-comfort). This new scooter from OTD might be the goldilocks scooter for me,

Walkingpad 25

REVIEW – During my normal WFH day, I spend at least 7 hours sitting in a chair.  I try to remind myself to get up and walk around, but that does not always work.  When I want to get up it always seems to be the time someone pings me through an instant messenger at

FlexSolar Rev 030

REVIEW – As my collection of portable batteries and power packs grows, the need for cheap (or free) electricity to keep them topped off increases as well. To avoid forking over my paycheck to Seattle City Light each month I’ve been looking for an effective solar panel kit to address this need. I may have

Lupe Pure Cordless vacuum cleaner review – it stands on its own

Lupe Pure Vacuum 23

REVIEW – If you’ve ever wondered what Dyson designers could do if left on their own, the Lupe Pure vacuum cleaner might be the answer. Lupe was started by a couple of ex-Dyson employees who set out to make a better vacuum cleaner. In many ways, they succeeded, but the Lupe Pure vacuum cleaner is
