REVIEW – I’ve spent quite a bit of time in the out-of-doors, and the one thing that can take the enjoyment out of it is having cold feet. Whether it’s working around the yard or out taking photographs of wildlife in the winter, cold feet are the one thing that will make me cut short […]

REVIEW – The Black Ops case from Element Case has been on my want list from their first version which I believe was for iPhone 5.

REVIEW – As data breaches become more common, there is a growing desire for secure online storage of data, particularly from in-home security cameras. No one wants to feel they are being spied on, and with unknown security practices in the data storage area of large companies (despite statements from wealthy CEOs to the contrary),

REVIEW – Let’s talk audio. Not the hardware kind (I do many reviews of headphones and speakers), but software. A lot of speakers use what’s called built-in digital signal processing (DSP) to tweak the audio for that particular speaker. Stand-alone software can be used to tweak almost any speaker to the listener’s tastes—that’s the theory,

REVIEW – Finding a case that works and looks the way you want it to can be a real challenge. For me it results in purchasing many more cases than most people to find ones I enjoy using. When it comes to the new iPhone 12 line, MagSafe compatibility comes into play and that’s an

REVIEW – Do you use your iPhone’s built-in speakerphone frequently? Ever want a little extra “oomph”? I got to try out a little plug-in device designed to do just that. What is it?

REVIEW – The Jabra Elite series of wireless earbuds have been my go to choice in earbuds for years. Their secure fit, great sound, compact design, and rugged engineering just continues to evolve and improve. I have my Elite Active 75t‘s with me nearly everywhere I go.

REVIEW – I love coffee in all of it’s glorious forms. For this review we’re checking out the Rumia Stovetop Espresso Maker, which is essentially an upgraded version of the classic Moka Pot. It’s shiny. It’s pretty. But how does it do the brew? To the review! What is it? It’s a Moka pot style

REVIEW – Like many of you, I have used security webcams around my house for several years. I love the peace of mind it gives me, and the automatic notifications and cloud recording are wonderful to keep track of what’s going on in and around your home. We have a camera on our front door,

REVIEW – A lot of things have changed this year, not least of all being a huge portion of the workforce going remote (myself and spouse included). Many of us previously had access to $1000+ office printers but are now using cheap ones at home which may not be up to commercial office standards. The

REVIEW – We’ve covered several knives from WESN here at The Gadgeteer, and I’ve been impressed with the ones I’ve reviewed. Because of that, I was excited to review the WESN Henry, a modern take on a classic folding-blade pocketknife. Let’s take a look. What is it? The WESN Henry is a classic style, folding-blade

REVIEW – The move to remote work brought about by the current pandemic has forced a lot of us to be on-camera much more than previously. For those of us who don’t have an area we can use to create a camera-friendly background, virtual screens have become a life-saver. But many things in the actual

REVIEW – It is the time of the year when the winter season is ramping up in the North East of the United States. I live near the ocean and power outages are par for the course. Having endured the outages for over 2 decades, I know the value of having a few powerful/capable Power

REVIEW – Tablets abound everywhere you turn. You see them in stores, in schools, in businesses, and they have become so affordable that it seems like every family has 1 or more scattered throughout the house. My own family has multiple tablets in both iOS and Android, in varying sizes, and we use them for

REVIEW – My large living room and TV with weak speakers makes for a poor entertainment experience. I’ve been thinking about getting a soundbar, so when the SAKOBS soundbar review offer came along, I thought I would try it first. What is it?

REVIEW – Many of the projects that I work on require weekly road trips and a complete and capable gear bag. Recently, I have been testing devices like Raspberry Pis and I need to walk with a portable but capable keyboard. I also find the need to have something that is ergonomic so that I

REVIEW – I started shooting videos back in my inline street skating days where we would skate alongside our rollerblading buddies as they skated a line going from trick to trick. So, filming with an actual video camera with a built-in scene stabilizer really helped to steady the footage as we skated on streets with

REVIEW – In 2019, I reviewed the Jackery 240 Portable Power Station. This incredibly useful power backup has provided our family with multiple recharges for smartphones, tablets, and laptops—especially during frequent and sometimes violent summer storms in Central Florida where we live. However, 240 watts of backup power only gets you so far. Recently, portable

REVIEW – I rarely use cash anymore, so all I need is a thin minimalist wallet that can hold my most used credit cards. For the last 4 years, I’ve been using the Identity Card Wallet, which is no longer being made or sold. The one I have now is still perfectly usable, but I
