REVIEW – A good sound bar can really elevate the movie-watching experience, especially with flatscreen televisions that are pretty much ubiquitous at this point. One brand that I’ve seen around but haven’t had the opportunity to experience yet is ULTIMEA, so when the ULTIMEA 5.1 Dolby Atmos Sound Bar came up for review, I had […]

REVIEWS – The backpack market splits cleanly into two camps: technical bags built for function and leather bags built for boardrooms. WaterField’s Bowery Leather Backpack refuses to pick a side.

REVIEW – Sometimes, as a reviewer, we get the opportunity to review similar pieces of tech that span across different prices and features. I’m reminded of the story of the 3 bears. In this story, is the TOOCAA NOVA Laser Engraver too big, too small, or just right? Well, that will depend on how you

REVIEW – As I work on my retirement transition plan, both my wife and I have a sense of urgency to work on some small business ventures. This year, my wife launched her business, and by its nature, there is a need to engrave multiple items. I have been looking for an engraver that can

REVIEW – The Huawei FreeClip 2 enters a category that usually asks for forgiveness. Most open ear buds feel like a tradeoff between comfort and clarity which is why I treated this pair with some suspicion at first. That changed within a few hours of wearing them around the house, through errands, and even while

After using the Fender x Teufel Rockster Air 2, I realized I’ve reviewed a Goldilocks array of Fender x Teufel speakers: the Rockster Go 2, Rockster Cross, and now the Rockster Air 2. Using this analogy, we’ll call the Air 2 the Papa Bear. He’s big, heavy, and loud. But how does he sound? ⬇︎ Jump

REVIEW – I seem to spend as lot of time with earbuds in – from running, riding bikes, walking the dog, and of course, meetings at work. For all but cycling and flying, I prefer open-air earbuds which let you hear ambient sounds. But I’ve been frustrated with most sets – they are either very
REVIEW – Everyone has devices that are battery-powered these days. From your car to your earbuds to your screens to your watch, you’ve always got to find a place to “top up” the power cells of your current gadget. My favorite form factor for these is now the back-of-the-phone magnetic model. Roughly the size of

REVIEW – My wife is very creative and eco-conscious. Some time ago, she launched her own business, making eco-friendly candles, diffusers, Room Sprays, and more from all-natural products. Sh usually sets up at Fairs and other pop-up events, and on most occasions, the Host provides no power, or power is provided for an extra cost.

REVIEW – I’m always on the lookout for the perfect work tote because I never find one that ticks all my boxes. It should be light but durable. It should hold a lot of things but it shouldn’t look like a sack of potatoes. It should have some pockets but not too many pockets. The

REVIEW – Digital calendars for the home have started to become the latest thing for busy households. Most are geared towards homes with children and working parents who have multiple schedules and to-do lists to plan around.

REVIEW – Since moving, I have a little more room for a bigger desk. What I found is that many standing desks aren’t very deep, usually 19 to 24 inches. The Blacklyte Atlas Lite series of standing desks all come with a depth of 31.5 inches, regardless of width. I knew I wanted to see

REVIEW – One of the gadgets that has been on my bucket list to check out for a while now has been a thermal camera. While it’s not an every-day use item that I’m going to carry around with me, it’s definitely a tool that can be incredibly useful at the right place and time.

REVIEW – While I may not be an audiophile in the sense of chasing increasingly more expensive high end audio equipment, I really love and appreciate music.

REVIEW -Living in Florida means losing your power a couple of times a year due to thunderstorms and hurricanes. Having a whole-home generator would be perfect, but the cost is prohibitive. Having affordable backup power like the Anker SOLIX C2000 Gen 2 Portable Power Station, and its companion, the Anker SOLIX PS400 Portable Solar Panel

REVIEW – I hate when I am listening to something on my earbuds and they don’t stay in my ears. I don’t enjoy constantly needing to adjust the position so I can hear better. The SoundPEATS Clip1 earbuds find a way to comfortably hook onto your ears, and let you focus on the sounds, without
