iClever IC-BTH01 Bluetooth Stereo Headset review

iClever Bluetooth Stereo Headset 1

I’ve been using an inexpensive set of Philips wired earphones forever and have been pretty happy with them. However, the more time that has passed, the more I have thought about replacing them with a Bluetooth set, especially when doing chores around the house. The iClever IC-BTH01 Bluetooth Stereo Headset was then offered to the

Lutman Swich premium Qi wireless charging stand review

lutman swich 1

I love the ease and convenience of wireless charging. I have Qi charging pads and stands strategically placed throughout my world. They all get the job done but none are really all that noteworthy or eye catching. All are made of some sort of plastic varying in size, shape, and quality. Until recently that is.

ChargeTech 18000 mAh Battery Pack review

ChargeAll 7

Technology has come a long, long way in the last 10 years but battery technology has lagged behind.  There are limitations to electrochemistry that nanoscale carbon substrates can help boost but until that day we have become accustomed to carrying around spare battery packs for our devices.  With more and more devices sealing their batteries

Bluetooth hands-free headsets or smart car calling features are becoming more and more necessary now that 14 states have banned hand-held cell phone use while driving, according to the Governors Highway Safety Association.  Even if your state doesn’t have a ban on hand-held cell phone use while driving, there are bans on people using them in school

A quick review of HBO Now on Apple TV

hbo now apple tv 7a

Our condo complex provides cable service as part of our monthly HOA fees, but that service is standard definition.  We rent a cable box directly from Time Warner so we can see high-def programming with our “free” cable, but we don’t have any premium channels.  I feel left out sometimes when people talk about all

Ergo Desktop Kangaroo Pro standing desk review

ergo desktop kangaroo pro 1

Sitting all day in front of a computer is both monotonous and unhealthy. That’s why sit-stand desks are gaining in popularity. The ability to quickly switch from sitting to standing is a great way to burn a few extra calories, improve circulation, help with back problems and more. Last month I reviewed my first standing

Fitbit Surge activity tracker review

fitbit surge 3

The Fitbit Surge is Fitbit’s most advanced activity tracker yet. It tracks all the same things as their other trackers, but also includes advanced features like GPS and basic smartwatch features along with an always on large touch screen display. I recently reviewed the Fitbit Charge HR which quickly became my new favorite fitness tracker replacing the Withings Pulse.

Everybody can use more USB chargers, right?  True, but you need to make sure that the USB charger can charge your most power-hungry gadgets before you waste money buying it.  You don’t want the charge to take longer than the battery life because you’re trying to use an under-powered charger.  Slow charges shouldn’t be a

KNOMO KNOMAD Air Leather Portable Organizer review

knomo knomad tablet organizer 1

Do you use your tablet at work, carrying it from meeting to meeting or between worksites?  You can carry everything in a large gear bag, but that’s probably overkill if you’re just walking down the hall to a conference room.  Or if you’re flying, you need a compact bag that can fit all your electronic gear,
