Edifier TWS NB2 5

REVIEW – Jewelry. That’s the first impression one gets when unboxing the new white Edifier TWS NB2 true wireless earbuds. When opened, the box looks like it might contain nice earrings or even a necklace. However, while the packaging is noteworthy, does this attention to detail carry over to the product itself?  What is it?

Creative Live Cam 11

REVIEW – Of all the things that have become the “new normal” when working from home, attending meetings has probably undergone the biggest change. No longer do we sit in an over-crowded conference room face-to-face munching on donuts and downing coffee. Now, we sit at home staring at a computer screen full of co-workers faces

SandMarc ProLight RGB review

SandMarc RGB ProLight 1 scaled e1601163803733

REVIEW – With the huge improvements in camera phones lately, the procedures for getting better shots have migrated from the “megapixel/lens” level of discussion to such perennial photography topics as light quality management and filters. To this end, SandMarc has recently released two light sources that promise much more control over some of these issues.

Swann NVR8580 1

REVIEW – Back in 2016, I reviewed the Swann SWNVK-873004 3MP surveillance camera system that has stood guard over our home for nearly half a decade.

epos headset 1

REVIEW – As a nearing-40-years-old reviewer of tech gadgets, when I first saw the EPOS | SENNHEISER GSP 601 wired gaming headset I thought I might be about 20 years too old for them.  A few weeks of blissful use has changed my mind completely, they’ve helped me stave off the mid-life-crisis urges, if only

REVIEW – Speakers can vary wildly in terms of sound profiles and quality.  While I’m no audiophile (speaker snob), I do appreciate a nice set of monitors.  I’ve owned a ridiculous amount of different computer and studio speaker sets through the years (my partner would say I might have a problem with buying too many

SniperBladeworks LPC 0

CROWDFUNDING REVIEW – When Sniper Bladeworks invited The-Gadgeteer to participate in their 2020 : Reload campaign, I jumped at the chance even though I had nothing to go on other than a teaser video that showed very little of the product. What is it? The Sniper Bladeworks LPC is a premium tactical folding knife. What’s in
