Samson RTE2 wireless headphone review

samson RTE2 15

I seem to be on a bit of a wireless headphone binge lately.  Earlier this year I got to try out the JBL Everest Elite 700 headphones, which I liked quite a bit.  Today I’ve got my hands on a pair of Samson RTE2 wireless headphones.  They’re not around-the-ear headphones that I prefer, but the […]

Tronsmart 5-Port Quick Charge 2.0 Desktop USB Charger (UC5F) review

tronsmart usb quick charge charger 1

I’m a big fan of Quick Charge 2.0 technology. They’re just now becoming more commonplace in charging devices. So when the Tronsmart 5-Port Quick Charge 2.0 Desktop USB Charger became available for review, I requested it. So far, I’ve been very pleased with its performance and the only negative is that the unit is rather

Braven 705 portable wireless speaker review

braven 705 1

There are so many speakers entering the portable speaker market, that I have bought my previous two based on a slick deal, aka price, and that’s about it. That means I’ve stayed in the sub-50 dollar range of speakers. I was given the opportunity to review a speaker that seemed twice as nice as my

Samsung Gear S2 Classic smartwatch review

samsung gear s2 1

The Samsung Gear S2 smartwatch is an Android-compatible smartwatch that does not use the Android Wear operating system like the majority of the Android smartwatches that are currently on the market. Samsung marches to the beat of their own drum and has opted to use the Tizen OS to power their watches. Let’s take a

Milestone Pod run tracker review

milestone pod 2 e1450124528421

I’ve recently began running in a hope to have a slightly less round belly. I’ve come to find that footwear is an important component of running. Good running shoes can help prevent you from experiencing pain or injury. Like anything else in life, quality running shoes are only good for a certain period of time

Focal Sphear in-ear headphones review

Focal Sphear 1

After reviewing every headphone French audio speaker company Focal sells, one fact stands out: Focal makes some of the best headphones available. The Spirit Professional is accurate to a fault and the Spirit Classic is one of the most comfortable headphones I have ever used. So when they came out with the Sphear—their first In-ear

Mujjo Leather Touchscreen Gloves review

mujjo leather touchscreen gloves 1

With less than a week until winter officially begins, it’s time to break out the gloves for my morning drive to work. Gloves keep my hands warm, but they make it impossible to interact with my phone while I’m wearing them. That’s why touchscreen gloves are a necessary tech accessory for gadgeteers. This year Mujjo

What if you could add not only a layer of protection to your iPhone, but also a set of invisible buttons to help you use your iPhone more efficiently.  That’s what Boxwave promises with their ClearTouch SmartButtons screen protector.  Made from tempered glass, it boasts two invisible “buttons” at the bottom of the iPhone’s face

Jackery Fit, Jackery POP, and Jackery Mini portable charger review

Jackery 7 e1449541317278

I know of almost no one worth his or her Gadgeteer lifetime membership badge who doesn’t have some sort of power backup for their smartphone and/or tablet. This category has exploded, along with the move from cheaper, low-quality batteries to safer, more robust, and highly focused battery packs. Jackery, Inc. has recently introduced a range

iDea CT1080 Tablet review

10 tablet

Before 2010, there were no touch-centric tablets, only laptops that had stylus-driven screens. Suddenly, when the iPad burst upon the scene and gave tablet makers permission to dream of a touch-oriented screen and apps that could be on a larger screen than a phone, the world changed. Tablets that vaguely resemble the iPad have come

chris reeve small sebenza 1

When I was a kid I would sneak into my parents bedroom when they weren’t home to admire my dad’s pocket knives and watches. He had some very nice knives, but I don’t think he had one as nice as the Small Carbon Fiber Sebenza 21 folding knife from knife designer Chris Reeve of Boise, Idaho.
