Startech Triple-Video USB 3.0 Docking Station review

Startech Triple Video Dock 03 e1448644489901

Monitors, monitors, and more monitors – I need as many as possible when I’m working.  I work for a network operations center, so my eyes are constantly on screens looking out for I.T. issues, writing emails, helping users with remote sessions, troubleshooting servers, and the like.  Just like at work, my home office needs a decent set up

Jaybird X2 wireless earbuds review

jaybird bluebudx main

Difficult to believe that it has been nearly three years since I reviewed the original Jaybird BlueBuds X wireless sports earbuds. Jaybird was one of the first manufacturers to create a minimalist wireless set of earbuds engineered to survive a rainy run or extra sweaty workout. Well as we all know, three years is a long

Kanzek Slim Safe Portfolio review

I enjoy using leather products because of their beauty and durability. Recently I had the opportunity to review Waterfield’s Cozmo 2.0 laptop leather bag. It was a very well made, wonderful laptop bag but a little too spacious for my personal preferences. I recently received the Kanzek Slim Safe Portfolio to review. I discovered that it is a

AirTurn Duo BT-106 hands-free wireless controller review

When I play music on my ukulele, I’m usually doing so in front of my computer, which I use to display the sheet music. I have a large collection of songs that are in .PDF and .TXT formats. There’s one problem that I have been trying to solve for a long time, how to flip

Ballistic Tough Jacket MAXX iPhone 6 Plus case review

Ballistic toughjkt1

I have a confession to make.  I am a caseaholic. I already had three iPhone cases before my iPhone 6 Plus even arrived.  I had a black leather folio case, a knock-off of a Twelve South BookBook brown leather wallet case, and a blue slim case with holster from Best Buy.  I had wanted to

Colonel Littleton No. 27 & No. 28 Pocket Journals review

col littleton no27 28 1

We review a lot of leather products on The Gadgeteer, but out of all the companies that we deal with, the leather products from Colonel Littleton are my favorite. Their leather is the softest I’ve ever felt and their designs and craftsmanship harken back to a time when quality really meant something. Did I really

Aiaiai TMA-2 Modular Headphones review

Aiaiai TMA 2 19

Sometimes, one has to be careful what they wish for. Case in point: I was given the opportunity to review the new Aiaiai TMA-2 modular headphones, I eagerly said, “Sure!” Later I received a box with every part available for the TMA-2 to help make a recommendation about what combinations might work best depending on

Neposmart Intelligent Garage Controller / Security Camera review

neposmart installed 11

When fellow Gadgeteer, Dave Rees, came to me and asked me to review a garage door controller, I was unsure, since I had no experience messing with garage door openers. Since it came with free installation, I agreed. A garage door controller and monitor is quite a bit outside of the box for me, but

HANDGREY KNOX Titanium keyring and H3 Titanium carabiner review

handgrey knox 1

Have you given much thought about split keyrings? No? Ok, me neither. But let’s do that now. The split keyring has remained virtually unchanged in decades. That is until now. The HANDGREY KNOX is the keyring reinvented. HANDGREY is currently running a crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter and sent me one of their KNOX keyrings to

Scosche boomBOTTLE+ Bluetooth speaker review

scosche bb 1

I’ve done a couple of Bluetooth speaker reviews in my short time with The Gadgeteer and have had the good fortune to review some really nice speakers. Despite that, I keep volunteering to review speakers because I really love listening to music. Reviewing these speakers gives me an excuse to blast some music and get

Orangemonkie Foldio portable photography studio review

foldio 9

When you review gadgets like I do, product images are just as important as the words I write. Not to pat myself on the back too hard, but I think I do a pretty good job when in it comes to product photography. I have no illusions that I’m a professional macro photographer though, and
