Reviews about interesting gadgets, gear, mobile technology and lifestyle products.
I’ve been playing acoustic guitar for more than 40 years. Same guitar, but I’m hopefully a little better for the years of practice. A decade or so ago, I had my guitar retrofitted with an internal pickup, since I was playing regularly into a sound system. Recently, however, I’m more interested in getting that sound […]

If you love notebooks and journals as much as I do, it’s probably not a stretch to say that you also love pens. Finding the perfect pen for the perfect journal is a quest that can take a long time to complete. I have a favorite pen, but I’m not sure it’s my perfect pen,

This is another product category that has moved from being a geeky thing to perfectly normal for people in all walks of life. In the last year, I have seen power cords and surge suppressors that have several USB plugs for charging phones or tablets in coffee shops, malls, bars, and waiting areas in healthcare

Your eyes do not deceive you.  There’s a hole in this speaker.  The first time our own Bill Henderson mentioned the Fluance Fi70, I knew I just had to try it.  But would the unusual looks translate into a something that sounded decent?  I’ve got enough speakers.  Why would I want another?  I told myself I

Finding the perfect laptop sleeve is a lesson in compromise. The optimal design most people seek is a balance between protection, fashion, storage and utility. Just exactly what qualities are most important is based on one’s own proclivity for each feature. The Inateck MP1305 sleeve delivers a fashion forward design with the ability to prop up the computer for video playback or

The best thing about security camera systems is that they allow us to keep an eye on our loved ones and property when we’re not physically there. The worst things about security camera systems is that the majority of them have to be plugged into a wall outlet for power and probably require a monthly

It’s come to this. In today’s ever-increasing reliance on powered smartphones, tablets, Bluetooth speakers and any other gadget we’re addicted to, they have one thing in common: they all require charging. If you have a family, charging can become a hassle when outlets around the house get clogged with charging plugs. It’s similar to not

Home security cameras are perfect for keeping an eye on the interior and exterior of your home, but how can you easily find out if there are animals (or people) creeping around in your woods or yard without having to run Ethernet cables for communications and wires for power? One way is to setup a

It’s no secret that I love my iPhone cases. Whether it is a bumper or full body, being able to customize my phone to look different than others while protecting it is just something I enjoy. So when X-Doria asked about reviewing one of their cases, I battled back and forth before choosing their X-Doria

I simply love nice bags almost as much as I love technology.  I need a good bag for work, but also for the weekends, since I love to load up my Macbook Pro, a camera and various notebooks depending on what I’m working on.  I had the opportunity to review the Case Logic LoDo satchel, so

To say that something is cheap without being cheap can mean either it’s expensive but not well made or it’s not expensive yet well made. The RHA S500i in-ear headphone fits into the latter category. I’ve been using these earphones for a couple of months and still marvel how Scottish audio company Reid Heath Acoustics, Ltd.

When it comes to house cleaning chores, I’m probably not much different than you. I can find a thousand things I’d rather do than sweep and mop floors. That’s why I love robotic vacuums. I’ve been using the Neato BotVac 80 for over a year and absolutely love that I rarely need to vacuum because

Bu-bump … Bu-bump … Bu-bump … The album opened with a heartbeat—a speaker tester of a heartbeat. If I cranked the volume high enough, all kinds of distortion could happen. But it didn’t. What I heard was the recorded heart thumping away along with faint analog tape hiss in the background just before those famous sound

Razors are engineered to effectively shave your body hair with as little pain and/or irritation as possible. Most blade razors are designed to be dragged against your skin at approximately a 30° angle for optimum cutting. As you continue to shave with the same cartridge, the hairs on your face pull the very thin blades out of

A couple of months ago, I was able to review the UE Boom 2 Bluetooth speaker. I found that it has wonderful audio quality but lacks bass and has a handful of relatively minor issues with the app. This time, I’ve been given the opportunity to review the UE Megaboom. I found that this speaker
You come here every day to read new reviews, but do you ever wonder what happens long (and sometimes not so long) after we post our reviews? Does the item spontaneously combust or do we continue to use and enjoy it long after the original review has been forgotten? We want you to know how
While I wouldn’t consider myself a wristwatch fanatic, I do always find myself with a timepiece on my wrist. Generally, I can be found wearing my Moto 360, but on certain occasions I like to wear a more traditional watch. Sometimes it is nice not having to worry about battery life. Plus, even the nicest smartwatches

Dash cams are the type of gadgets that you setup and then forget. They are more of an insurance policy than a gadget that you can enjoy on a daily basis. A good dash cam can potentially save you money if you get in an accident. Video footage might help you prove that the accident
