REVIEW – I’ve reviewed quite a few wireless earbuds here at The Gadgeteer, and my quest to find the “perfect” earbuds for me continues onward. I’m looking for a pair of true wireless earbuds that are small, water-resistant, and stay put in my ears while working out. The ENACFIRE E90 Wireless Earbuds appear to check […]

REVIEW – Apple Watch is a great device for tracking health metrics and, when paired with apps like Strava, fantastic for logging cycling adventures. When it comes time to strap one on your wrist though, you’ll want to make sure that it stays there and it might as well look good while doing so. The

REVIEW – When I lived in Japan, I had the opportunity to use a bidet toilet seat similar to the Coway Bidetmega 150. Since then, I’ve been wondering why these have not become standard equipment everywhere! What is it? The Coway Bidetmega 150 is a toilet seat that is heated and provides warm-water washing and

REVIEW – I’ve been fascinated with bitplay for a while now. To date their cases have been focused on photography and use with their premium lenses. The Wander Case is a bit different and built for getting out and about. For most companies that means drop protection. While bitplay has drop protection covered well, they’ve

REVIEW – In pre-pandemic times I traveled quite a bit for work and pleasure with many of those trips being pretty minimalistic in what I took with me. Typically this “just what I need and not much else” travel-style included everything from my tech to my workout gear. I know I’m stating the obvious here,

REVIEW – I am a big fan of having multiple monitors attached to my laptop and desktop and I utilize them as an integral part of my workflow process. The only caveat in my master plan is when I am using my laptop on-the-go and need to take an extra monitor with me. What a

CROWDFUNDING REVIEW – Nomophobia is real. It’s the fear of being without a smartphone. Under 20% fear gnawing at your soul? Never fear! Harbor’s powerful 215-Watt Super battery is here! What is it? Harbor’s 215-watt battery is a portable power supply with two USB-A and two USB-C power sockets. Hardware Specs: Battery 26,800mAh battery capacity

REVIEW – Thanks to a virus (and shades of 2020) I lost a lot of my hearing on one side. Headphones and earbuds don’t provide much help for this condition – in order to get something akin to a stereo experience I have to crank the balance way over to the side and turn the

REVIEW – As I grow older, I love coffee more and more! However, I am definitely not a connoisseur of coffee and will usually finish any coffee beverage I am presented. Along with that, I do love the taste of a good espresso shot. I always assumed you needed a large and expensive machine to create

REVIEW – In recent times, homes and businesses have become much more secure primarily because almost everyone has a security camera or two or three that watch over their property. As this trend had grown, so has the sophistication of the security systems that are available for consumers. For this review, I will look at

REVIEW – About 2 months ago I decided to get an A1C test to check the status of my Type-2 diabetes. I knew that it would be elevated due to my work from home COVID eating habits. I was right. In 2019, my A1C was 5.7 and it has gone up to 5.9. I’m currently

REVIEW – I remember years ago when Blu-Ray players were new. In fact, I remember when Blu-Ray and HD DVD were battling it out in the marketplace, do you? Oh, the good ole days. I also remember how expensive they were. Holy smokes, the first players were like $1,000 each, and this was almost 15

REVIEW – Where I work, randomization and context-switching are the orders of the day. Sometimes it is hard to change your focus to a new task, and with age that only becomes more difficult. The science behind tDCS says that it can help with that, and more specifically, the LIFTiD headset says it will sharpen

REVIEW – Earlier this year I reviewed the Amazfit T-Rex smartwatch, and it was one of my favorites so far. Since then I also tried out a Ticwatch Pro 3 GPS Wear OS watch, which had better features overall but a much shorter battery life. Zepp (either a rebrand or sub-brand of Amazfit depending on

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. It’s always been expensive and has frequently used exotic materials or had unique accessories. Needless to say when the opportunity presented itself, I jumped at the chance to review

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? The Pioneer Rayz Rally is a plug and play mobile conference speaker that connects with just one Lightning connection to your iOS
