AfterShokz Xtrainerz Bone Conduction MP3 Swimming Headphones review – Fill your underwater world with sound

AfterShokzXtrainerz 7

REVIEW – Listening to music can make exercising more tolerable. Witness the huge case market for sweat-resistant armbands, cases, and headphones. Listening to music when you’re outside running, biking, or otherwise being exposed to environmental hazards (i.e. cars, trucks, and other motorized vehicles) can be dangerous to your situational awareness. Aftershokz, a company that specializes […]

jackery 300 1

  REVIEW – We’ve been reviewing a lot of power stations lately here at The Gadgeteer, including models from Oupes, OKMO, and Puleida.  Whenever you look through the marketing material for these stations, they always have pictures of people camping.  While that is a fine use for one of these gadgets, we have a somewhat

        REVIEW – Someone once told me that one of Murphy’s Laws states that there is a direct proportion between the value of a carpet and the likelihood that a cat will puke on it. My cat is a puke machine, but I love her anyway. Her vet recommends small meals throughout the day which

REVIEW – Hackers are always in the news.  One of the latest schemes is RFID skimming where an electronic reader in close proximity to an RFID-enabled card, like a credit card, reads the pertinent payment information from the card.  This allows the thief to perform contactless transactions as if they had tapped the physical card

DoqoKeyboard 3

REVIEW – The iPad, introduced in 2010, changed the idea of “tablet computing” for many people. It’s often been said that there isn’t really a “Tablet Market”, so much as an iPad market with various copycat devices. However you feel about this, third parties have embraced the iPad wholeheartedly, and nowhere is this more visible

OXS 15

REVIEW – A few weeks ago, I reviewed the Asakuki Avigator 455W video projector. Since its speaker was a bit lackluster, I wanted to see how the OXS S3 soundbar can fill the void. Let’s find out. What is it? The OXS model S3 soundbar is a self-contained audio amplifier and speaker system with optical,

Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro earbuds review – not quite AirPods Pro but close and way less expensive

Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro 6

REVIEW – Ever since the Apple AirPods Pro earphones came out, I kinda feel sorry for other wireless earbud makers. No matter how good their earbuds may be—and many are great—none can equal Apple’s Spatial Audio. Spatial Audio is an incredible 3D audio addition to an already good-sounding earphone. Once you hear it, there’s no

CYANSKY M3 11

REVIEW – When I demonstrated the Cyansky M3 EDC Titanium flashlight to my wife, who is not easily impressed with my gadgets, she was very surprised by the maximum brightness this little light produced. Could this be the last flashlight you’ll ever need? (I know, not possible.) Can this small flashlight replace larger flashlights for

REVIEW – I’m the Gadgeteer which means that I love technology – right? Right. But it doesn’t mean that I don’t also like analog gear too and my favorite category of analog gear is stationery, pens, journals, and journal covers. Today my sister Amy and I are teaming up to show you our latest obsession

Vorii Element v3

REVIEW – The pursuit of the perfect desk has been at the front of my mind since the pandemic halted my work travel.  I’ve tried a few different types, everything from minimalist to traditional to a dining room table.  For one reason or another, each has come up short – minimalist generally equals not much

Unihertz Titan Pocket Smartphone 1

REVIEW – If you have not figured it out by now, I will let you in on the secret. I really like testing and reviewing smartphones and especially those that offer extensive features or something unique. Smartphones have evolved quite a bit over the past few years, but there is something to be said about
