I’m getting tired of repeating myself, but here goes: Braven speakers make some of the best speakers I’ve reviewed, blah, blah, blah. With all the Braven reviews I’ve written, it’s beginning to sound trite, but it is true. Over the past few years, I’ve watched Braven evolve from a maker of the really good small,

Kickstarter campaigns continue to come and go. I’ve only ever had one that did not get funded.

I spend a lot of time walking around on certain days, which causes me back and feet discomfort. I recently got the chance to review ExoSOLS, which are custom orthotics you can order via your smartphone.

Do you ever wonder about the air quality in your home? I do because I happen to live right near a major highway. I wanted to know how healthy the air is inside my home so Foobot graciously allowed me to test their Foobot air quality monitor. In a nutshell, the device lumps air quality

I’m trying to make running an integral part of my daily routine. For many people, a good pair of shoes is the most important tool when running; however, I won’t even consider putting foot to pavement without having music to listen to, so I need a great set of headphones. Originally, I tried running with a

The market for wi-fi enabled audio receivers to stream your music around your house is getting a little more crowded. Of course, there are market-leading products (in my opinion) like the Sonos System and the Bose SoundTouch® System. But those are pretty pricey, so there are some cheaper solutions like I the one I reviewed

The home appliances that we use every day continue to evolve as technology is improved. We have washers and dryers that can automatically contact the vendor when there is a hardware issue, refrigerators that are connected to the internet and thermostats that we can program with our phones.

A few years ago, I entered a drawing to win a pair of 808 Audio headphones. Since then, I’ve yet to replace them as my go-to cans, simply because their audio, and more specifically, their bass, was so great. When 808 offered one of their Bluetooth speakers to review, I was eager to see if
