StarTech.com USB-C Audio & Charge Adapter review – one device for charging and listening

startech audio charge adapter 4

REVIEW – Headphone dongles–they’ve become our best and worst friends over the last few years. They allow our phones to be slimmer and more compact but they require us to carry another cable if we want to listen to music. And if we want to charge while we’re listening, well forget about that. Enter the […]

X-Chair Elemax Cooling, Heat and Massage Unit review – My opinion runs hot and cold

X

REVIEW – Last year, I reviewed The X-Chair X2 K-Sport Mgmt Chair (long name) and it has become my daily WFH chair. Then in February of this year, I reviewed another X2-HMT K-Sport Mgmt Chair with an added heat/massage function for the lower back. I really like the heat and massage therapy (HMT) option, but

Puleida Portable Power Station review – Definitely portable and powers most things

Puleida power 12

REVIEW – We’ve been getting quite a few power stations sent to us for review here at The Gadgeteer lately. The Puleida Portable Power Station caught my eye because it was the antithesis of the last power station I reviewed (the massive Bluetti AC200P power station – which is most definitely not very portable). Puleida’s

Addsfit Mini Pro Massage Gun review

addsfit Mini Pro Massage Gun 13

REVIEW – My son ran track in his freshman year of high school, and has been lifting weights at home. He’s seen these cordless massagers at track meets, and I’ve seen dozens of lookalike models available online. Now we’ve got a chance to look at a packable model with an extendable handle. Let’s take a

Mackie Element Series Carbon Microphone review

MESC 01

REVIEW – I was already working remotely from home when the lockdowns started, but video conferencing didn’t really kick into high gear until everyone else was also working from home. Since you all have been through the same gauntlet, I don’t need to describe what that’s been like. However, I made a point to do

MUZEN Transistor AM FM Radio, Portable Bluetooth Speaker review

Muzen Radio 5

REVIEW – I can remember being stuck at home during Hurricane Sandy with no power for 14 days. My only contact with the outside world was a transistor radio. That one occurrence made me a believer that despite our advances in technology, simple devices can be most important. This is one of the reasons that

SV Assets Pro Series V1 smartphone lenses review

svassets lenses 21

REVIEW – The best camera is the one that you have with you. We’ve all heard that saying a thousand times and it’s true. But sometimes the camera that you have with you is your phone and even though many of today’s phones have excellent optics, they can always be improved. That’s where 3rd party

ChefWave Milkmade non-dairy milk maker review – My new favorite kitchen gadget!

chefwave milkmade 2

REVIEW – I’ve reviewed 1000’s of products in the almost 24 years that the Gadgeteer has been online and of those products, there aren’t many that I can say have changed my life. Ok, that sounds a little dramatic. But it’s true, there are a few products that have actually changed my life for the

Meters OV-1-B-Connect headphone review – Know how loud your music is

Meters 19

REVIEW – When you listen to music using headphones, do you crank up the volume? Hearing experts say that loud noise can leave permanent damage to your hearing. But how loud is too loud? Well, the answer is a bit complicated. Sound is measured in decibels (dB) and too high a measurement can be harmful.

Joyzis BR300 Portable Power Station review – Lots of power in a compact package

joyzis BR300 3

REVIEW – Camping. Backyard parties. Power outages. These and many other activities may require power for lights, speakers, music players, and who knows what else. You can run extension cords but they’re unsightly, people can trip over them, and in the case of a power outage, they might not even be an option. Enter the
