REVIEW – Learning to play guitar is on a lot of bucket lists. It’s a skill set that you can continually improve upon your whole life and like a lot of other skills can be immensely frustrating and rewarding at the same time. Condensing the learning curve would go a long way for a lot […]

REVIEW – When I find a pair of truly wireless earbuds that ticks off all the boxes on my must-have features list, I tell myself that I’m done reviewing them. But then I’m offered a new pair to review and I just can’t seem to say no. The latest pair of TWS earbuds that I’m

REVIEW – Our family has several pieces of luggage, but after traveling to Asia and back and all over the east coast, they’re pretty beaten up. Additionally, they are not very flexible, as they have one main compartment for storing everything. It’s time to try something new, preferably something that is both durable and flexible.

REVIEW – If you live in an area where there are cellular “dead zones” or the construction of your home or business makes cell reception difficult, it can be frustrating to not be able to use your cell phone to its full potential. Fortunately, if you have at least some signal reaching your location, a

REVIEW – When I was a kid, I was a DIY kid. As an adult, I have continued that passion and skill. Over the years, I have learned that having the right tool for the job is very important if I want to get the job done right and if I don’t want to waste

REVIEW – As much as phone, tablet and computer brands might improve technology and increase battery density and performance, there’s always going to be a new app or connectivity struggles to drain that same battery much faster than you would like. That’s where portable batteries come in very handy. There’s lots of variations out there

CROWDFUNDING REVIEW – We all have smartphones, yes? And despite grippy cases, poppy knobs, dangly strap, and other attempts, those smartphones continue to increase in size and therefore are more difficult to hold onto while using them. And because they also keep increasing in price, it seems like a good idea to keep a solid

REVIEW – With the arrival of my shiny new Samsung Galaxy Tab S6, I decided to try an experiment. For quick out-of-town work trips, I would leave my laptop at home and use the keyboard case and the DeX software to replace it. I wanted to plug into the TV in my hotel room(s), be

CROWDFUNDING REVIEW – As a part of my EDC, I carry an umbrella to be prepared for the predicted or unexpected downpour. Most of the small and compact umbrellas that I have tried have been very cheaply made, and after a gust or two of wind, end up in the garbage can along the street

REVIEW – When packing for a long trip, it’s easy to forgo including a smaller bag for your shorter journeys after arriving at your destination. Backpacks are usually bulky and add unwanted weight to your already heavy luggage. The Packable Backpack from Solo New York could be the answer to this dilemma. What is it?

REVIEW – When people speak of action cameras, the first thing that comes to their mind is the GoPro camera. In addition to that, the image that comes to mind is the typical rectangle matchbox shape of them as well. However, thanks to the OCLU action camera, the OCLU will shatter the stereotypical shape and

REVIEW – I’m a daily coffee drinker, but I suppose not as sophisticated a connoisseur as some coffee aficionados. Because the free coffee at my work is an abysmally-flavored near-poison, I’d been considering the purchase of a French press with the intention of brewing my own coffee there. A few colleagues had mentioned a type

REVIEW – Most moderate- to high-end phones these days include Qi charging as a given. Because of this, manufacturers are finding it profitable to bring out chargers that can fit into our environment easily, but sometimes, you just want a simple stand/charger with no frills, right? YooTech has just released such a charger and we

REVIEW – If you’re looking for super lightweight earbuds, EarFun Free earbuds are only 2 ounces and they’re comfortable enough to wear all day. They have a sleek, efficient design that can fit into your pocket. But most importantly, they deliver impressive sound quality without being outrageously expensive. What is it? In-ear headphones that are

REVIEW – Selfie Sticks are a universally polarizing thing. Folks either adore them or detest them. But if you add in a shutter remote and a tripod that folds up into the handle, is it still a selfie stick? This is the question brought to mind by the new BlitzWolf Selfie Stick model BW-BS10, which

REVIEW – Bluetooth speakers are not hard to find. They come in all shapes and sizes. Guitar amps are also readily available and many now support Bluetooth. Roland’s BTM-1 strikes a different balance and pairs a tastefully retro portable Bluetooth speaker with an instrument input that might just be the speaker you didn’t know you

REVIEW – Some people love to cook and are good at it. Others of us are not-so-skilled, but we still have to eat. Eating out every night is rather expensive, and Ramen noodles get old in a hurry. What’s a non-cook to do? I have a theory: I think it’s possible to do a lot

REVIEW – A few months ago, my neighbor had a burst washing machine water line, resulting in substantial damage, a huge mess, large expense, and a lot of frustration. It got me thinking that there should be a better way to prevent this from happening. I’m thrilled that the Phyn Plus Smart Assist shutoff should

REVIEW – Sometimes I want to consume audio content alone, but often I want to share it with my wife. We listen to music together while working in the garage, audio books while driving in the car during our vacation, and podcasts while cooking and cleaning in the kitchen. For times like these, it’s nice

REVIEW – I have been following the true wireless earbuds trend for the past several years and had recently decided to dip my toe in the water. When the opportunity to review the latest wireless earbuds from Skullcandy came up, I decided to go on and jump in. What is it? The Sesh true wireless
