REVIEW – The xFyro ANC Pro earbuds are this reviewer’s first wireless earbuds. There, I’ve said it. I have some high-end ‘over the ears’ for comparison, and some name brand in-ear types, so head-to-head (did he say that?) should make for a good test. Did the xFyro ANC Pro buds perform well with accurate sound

REVIEW – Slouching not only looks unattractive, but it can affect your health in a variety of ways like neck and back pain. Telling yourself to sit up straight is easy but actually doing so on a consistent basis can be harder than you think. That’s where the Upright Go 2 personal posture trainer comes

REVIEW – The FineVU GX30 dashcam puts all its features in a package that fits neatly behind the rearview mirror, plus just a smidgen of widget in the back window. Thankfully, no cars were damaged during the evaluation of this dashcam, but if it happened, I could have shown you the pictures! What is it

REVIEW – I’ve had quite a few desks over the years. Some were homemade, and others store-bought. While I still use a combination of three L-Shaped desks for my main office, I needed a small desk for my guest/crafting room, so I decided to give the Victor Technology High Rise Standing Desk a try. What

REVIEW – Now that many people are working from home, portable data storage has become more important. And since you’re toting around that sensitive data, better make sure it’s secure. That’s exactly what DataLocker has set out to do – secure our data with portable drives like the DL4 FE 1 TB Solid State Drive

REVIEW – A wireless charger might seem like a kind of an unnecessary gadget … I mean, a cable works and you already have one of those. That’s what I kept telling myself, anyway. Then I rolled my desk chair over my USB cable AGAIN. It did not survive. At that moment I decided that

REVIEW – A couple of years ago I was diagnosed with high blood pressure. Since then, it has continued to increase to the point where my doctor would like me to regularly check and monitor. I’ve tried products offered by chain drug stores but all have proven to be wildly inaccurate. When I was offered

REVIEW – Fidget spinners and similar toys refuse to go away and I’m happy about that because they are fun! The Blue Orange Games Loopy Looper is a marble spinning toy that can keep your kids (and you) occupied for hours as you learn to spin and do tricks with them. Let’s take them for

REVIEW – Have you ever gone to get clothes out of the dryer only to find the entire load wrapped up in your bed sheet? What about the dryer? You go to fold your laundry only to find that your sheets have inconveniently rolled everything into a ball and now, nothing is actually dry. Well,

REVIEW – I’ve been using air purifiers for the past 10 years or so and have found them to relieve or remove the symptoms of my mild allergies and helping me sleep in the process. I’ve also found that while usually well designed for function, their aesthetics tend to leave a lot to be desired.

REVIEW – So you’re looking to buy an action camera, something both tough and portable to help you get those shots in places where you’d rather not risk your iPhone or your traditional video camera.

REVIEW – So many speakers—so little time. That’s how I’ve been feeling lately because a LOT of portable Bluetooth speakers have come out in 2020 and now 2021. Yeah, I know—first-world problem. But as I look at what speakers there are to choose from, a few stand out and demand to be reviewed because frankly,

REVIEW – I’ve owned and reviewed a couple of projectors, but never a “portable projector”. This category of projectors tends to be smaller (for portability of course), and typically includes built-in batteries to allow for viewing away from a power source. As a tradeoff, they have lower brightness levels and lower native resolutions than
