Reviews about interesting gadgets, gear, mobile technology and lifestyle products.
REVIEW – One of the very first battery banks I ever reviewed was from Just Mobile. It served me well for several years and was passed along to a friend just a year or so ago. Today’s offering from the same company offers about the same charging power but in a unit half the size, and almost […]

REVIEW – I love music and podcasts, and I like to experiment with all kinds of headphones: over the ear, in-ear buds, noise canceling… but up until now, I had never experienced bone-conduction headphones. The Bonetalker Adder headphones promise quality sound and open-ear design. How did they fare? What is it? The BoneTalker Adder is

REVIEW – Drones. Love them or hate them, they’re everywhere. If you have one, you probably like taking photos, but they don’t always look awesome, since you are at the mercy of Mother Nature and her available lighting at the time of your flight. If you’re gifted at Photoshop, or some other image editing software,

REVIEW – My wife and I have a couple of cats and a couple of dogs. For years, we’ve been interested in some type of GPS or electronic tracking device for our dogs’ collar just in case they went AWOL or if we were at a large dog park and lost track of them somehow.

REVIEW – Our Future Robot Overlords have chosen to favor you with this delightful little mechanical horror from MeetIDEA. It’s a robot spider that has a Bluetooth speaker. It’s also an educational toy that can be assembled and disassembled, perfect training for the kiddies in preparation for our dystopian future. Hopefully, the Robot Overlords come

REVIEW – We’re fans of pens here at The Gadgeteer, and personally I like pens that are unique in style and other design elements. The Spoke Designs Spoke Pen is one such writing instrument, with its machined, slotted body, magnetic cap, and other features. I felt very fortunate that Brian Conti, founder of Spoke Designs,

REVIEW – Kickstarter alert! The makers of the Side Winder are at it again, this time with a cable winder that attaches right to your power brick. The Fuse Side Kick is collapsible, compact, and keeps your cable nice and tidy. And if you act fast, you can get in on the Kickstarter before it

REVIEW – My niece just got her drivers license but her car stereo doesn’t have built-in Bluetooth. The Miccus Swivel Jack RTX device is a perfect solution for her. She just needs to plug it into her car’s aux connection to pair with her phone. Or if her sister or boyfriend wants to switch to

REVIEW – When it comes to technology to track your personal athletic training en devours, there are a ton of options out there. When you focus in on bicycle computers that only lessens the field a little bit. The big players out there are currently Garmin and Wahoo. I have had my current bicycle computer the

REVIEW – Let me say first that I understand that many sites use ads as a means for additional funding for their site (including The Gadgeteer). I mean TANSTAAFL (There ain’t no such thing as a free lunch). That being said I’m probably a marketer’s nightmare; my clickthrough rate on ads I do see is

REVIEW – We’ve all noted the trend toward thinner devices and, thus, smaller, sleeker bags. My (current) favorite style is an over-the-shoulder sling bag. These allow for quick-on, quick-off, and easy sling-around access while wearing. The current model I am testing is from a company called Cannae, their Optio Sling bag. Note: Photos may be

REVIEW – Tom Bihn bags are awesome. They ooze quality, made in USA, and are really durable. How durable? Read about the time I got hit by a car. I was excited to get the chance to review something bigger, without getting hit by a car. What is it? The Road Buddy is a 60

REVIEW – I don’t consider myself a cook as much as I consider myself an eater. I like to eat but to do that I have to cook. The best thing about cooking is the eating part. The worst thing about cooking is the cleanup. For that reason, I’m always looking for shortcuts and ways

REVIEW – The second contestant for 2019 into the challenge of finding the “perfect” earbuds for my taste is the BlitzWolf BW-FYE1 True Wireless Stereo Bluetooth 5.0 Earbuds. These earbuds have the unique look of a combination of part of the Apple earbud design along with the design of the typical standard earbud. I wonder

REVIEW – Back in June 2018, I had the opportunity to review the North St. Bags Scout 21 VX Duffle and I was pretty impressed with its water resistance and durability. North St. Bags recently did an update to their Scout Duffle designs and when they offered to let us try one out, of course

REVIEW – This is my third Grace Digital internet radio review and it feels like it’s come full-circle. You see, in 2012 I reviewed the original Grace Mondo and last year, their Encore+—both internet radios that provided just about all you could want for dialing in radio stations from around the world. Which leads me

REVIEW – A few years ago Tom Bihn introduced us to the Guide’s Pack, which was heavy on heritage-inspired looks and loaded with features for the outdoor wanderer. This week we’re looking at the Shadow Guide, which you can think of as it’s city-dwelling cousin. It’s just as rugged and functional, but a bit more

REVIEW – I am a huge fan (no pun intended!) of grilling. I tend to cook that way on any temperate afternoon or evening, if I have the time and ingredients. When the Gadgeteers were offered a chance to try the Tenergy Indoor Electric Grill, I spent several milliseconds before responding with a huge “Me!

REVIEW – I don’t like earbuds. Let’s get that out of the way. However, my wife was tired of sweaty, over-the-ear headphones while working out, so I took a look at the Echobox Wireless Ti-22BT earbuds. What is it? Wireless Bluetooth stereo earbuds crafted from “aerospace grade titanium” Hardware specs Bluetooth 4.1 Water resistant (not
