We’re a mixed Android and iOS home and I’ve been thinking for a little while that it would be nice to have a micro-USB to Lightning cable adapter to carry with me when I’m out-and-about. This would allow me to only carry one cable with the adapter should any of us need to charge our

Music is everywhere these days, thanks to its digital portability and instant availability on iPods, smartphones and other devices the world over. But the tiny speakers aboard these devices aren’t exactly suited to rocking out loud.  That’s why the portable speaker market has boomed (pun intended) the past several years, with wireless Bluetooth connectivity one of the

Dash cams can be pretty useful, or even capture some interesting footage, but consumers are faced with a motley assortment of brands you’ve probably never heard of before.  Garmin is a name synonymous with quality GPS units, so this time I get to check out the Garmin GDR33 Dash Cam.  Does the Garmin name live up

A few weeks ago, I introduced you to the TUO, a travel organizer designed to save space and make packing easier. Since then, I’ve had the opportunity to travel and test the TUO for myself. Will it ease the frustrations of travelers everywhere or is it a Kickstarter campaign full of empty promises?

Being a writer for The Gadgeteer has given me the opportunity to try new and interesting things. Having said that, I find myself often volunteering to review headphones, more precisely Bluetooth headphones. Now to this point, I have previously reviewed two sets of Bluetooth headphones, so when Polk offered us a chance to review their new

Wristwatches haven’t really changed that much since they were first invented. They still consist of a single timepiece and a single band that allows you to attach the watch to your wrist. Until now, customization consisted almost solely of changing bands to give the watch a different look. But now with Evarii Modular Watches, a new Kickstarter

Underwater Audio has outdone themselves with this product.  I have used these headphones for over two months now and whether I’m walking, running, mowing my lawn, weeding my garden or swimming (in that order every Saturday or Sunday) these babies are with me.  Let me tell you why I love them so much.Â

Fire, one of man’s greatest achievements, not because we invented it, but more for how we have tamed it throughout the years (except for maybe that Nero/Rome thing and that cow in Chicago). But, when it comes to making fire, especially in emergency survival situations, most of us would be lost. I am not saying

In the central Texas, mosquitoes are a year-round problem. We have those tiny Asian Tiger mosquitoes that love shade, hit quick, and bite hard. When the weather is nice, we love to sit outside at night in our live oak-shaded back yard and chat, drink iced tea, and occasionally toss a ball for the dogs.

The bar for any smartphone or smart device keeps going up no matter what tier its specs and build quality put it in. This, in conjunction with the middle and entry level device pricing continuing to come down, only means a better and better bang for the buck. Add in the fact that Samsung and

USB has become the de facto charging or input method for many of the devices we own. Nowadays, you don’t need to be a tech junkie to require extra USB outlets to charge all your devices. Even the tech challenged have cell phones, tablets, and Bluetooth speakers, all of which use a USB charging cord.

Whether you are a seasoned athlete or a weekend warrior, chances are that you use something to carry your gear around. And that means everything from a school backpack to a duffle bag, to yes, I’ve seen it, a grocery bag. But I’m not going to criticize how you carry your stuff, to each their

One of the fun parts of buying Apple products is the unboxing. You just know that any company that spends that much time and effort on packaging will spend even more effort on the product inside. Bowers and Wilkins products are like that. Unboxing their many headphones is almost as much fun as using them.

What makes a great dress watch? Slim and lightweight, elegant simplicity, classic looks? I’d say all of the above. I’ve read that wristwatches are on the decline due to the proliferation of mobile phones with clocks which everyone seems to be carrying everywhere these days. But I happen to believe there is still a place for wristwatches

Aside from my smartphone, my tablet is the device I use most. I use it to watch movies, read books, listen to music, make purchases, etc.; hardly a day goes by when I don’t use my tablet. I often run into two problems when using my tablet. One, the volume isn’t always sufficient for me

It wasn’t too long ago that many Bluetooth headsets came with the protruding boom mic so that you didn’t have to speak loudly and so that the person on the other end of the phone could hear you more clearly as you spoke. However, it was just a look I could not get used to out
