REVIEW – I’ve been a big fan of wireless charging (Qi charging) for years. I even hacked a Samsung Galaxy Note 2 several years ago to add the ability to charge it on a wireless charging pad just so I wouldn’t have to plug in a cable to charge the phone. As much as I […]

REVIEW – Ever since 3D printers became more affordable, I have been very interested in how they work and what I can print. Over time I have thought about printing parts and toys and my own inventions and I have had a bunch of other ideas. Earlier this year, I finally purchased an FDM 3D

REVIEW – The true wireless earbud market is red hot! There are so many choices and with all the choices it is also confusing. So many features, so many form factors, and so many prices. How is an audiophile supposed to choose? So let’s toss another player in the market with the Tronsmart Spunky Beat

REVIEW – We have been following the development and technology of the Tap Strap keyboard at The Gadgeteer since it came to market in June 2018. In October 2019, Julie wrote a news story about the Tap Strap 2 wearable keyboard. The new version includes an inertial mouse to further free you from the traditional keyboard.

REVIEW – Let’s be honest: Very few people have the equipment to test the efficacy of air purifiers. I certainly don’t. I don’t even have breathing or allergy problems. So why am I reviewing the Coway Airmega Air Purifier? The reason is simple—we live in Florida (where everything grows) and my wife suffers from asthma.

REVIEW – I have owned a Hyperice Hypervolt massage gun for just over a year. I guess their patent on the technology has recently run out because I am seeing a plethora of knockoff massage guns popping up on Amazon that look amazingly just like the Hypervolt. One of these is made by a company

REVIEW – One of the fun aspects of reviewing audio is getting to play with and write about different kinds of speaker gear—from earphones to Bluetooth to “real” speakers. Because there are more choices today than ever, everyone benefits. In 2015, I reviewed one of those “real” speakers from a German audio company new to

REVIEW – Last month I reviewed several of Anker’s recently released PowerPort Atom compact wall/travel fast-chargers. Both of these relatively small, very transportable 60 watt plugs are capable of quickly charging several of your power hungry tech devices at once…from your earbuds to your USB-C laptop. Well you see, Anker has been busy, they have

REVIEW – Living in Michigan, one item you must own in the fall and winter is a warm pair of gloves. And with virtually every device from phones to in-car displays having a touchscreen these days, touchscreen gloves are even better. I’ve tried several pairs of touchscreen gloves over the years, and they usually fall

REVIEW – In America alone, 10 million batteries are thrown away every day. One pack of Pale Blue USB rechargeable lithium batteries can replace up to 4,000 alkalines. Making the switch can save you money and keep toxic disposable batteries out of landfills. But how do they perform? Read on to see what I think!

REVIEW – I’m on a quest to find the most lightweight set of components that can turn my phone into a “computer” when needed. That means I need a Bluetooth keyboard, a Bluetooth Mouse, and maybe even a way to connect to an external monitor. But for today, let’s focus on the keyboard, a Foldable

REVIEW – Truly wireless earphones used to be hard to find and expensive as well. They’re now widely available and at all price points. House of Marley has entered the game with the Liberate Air.

REVIEW – The proliferation of wirelessly-charged devices has led to a growing market for devices to wirelessly charge them. We currently have four Qi-enabled devices in our home, and I expect that number to continue to grow in the years to come, so I’d been on the lookout for a charging pad that can charge

REVIEW – It’s that time of year where we risk life and limb to decorate for the holidays. For many of us, that involves lights and the requisite swearing that comes from burned-out strings. LED lights have definitely reduced that, but they’re still just lights, right? Twinkly says “NO”! Lights can be more! What is

REVIEW – As an audiophile, I have always invested heavily in clean and capable power distribution for my audio system. These types of devices offer great isolation and clean power for each outlet and well as great protection against surges. However, for my separate smaller system like my TVs with high-end soundbars, the larger and
