Good music is indispensable, but what good is it if you have poor quality audio devices? Ultimate Ears (UE) which is owned by Logitech released its Boom speaker in 2013 to rave reviews. UE has updated the Boom to the UE Boom 2 and I requested it to review. I found that the Boom 2 […]

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Escort Radar + Laser Detectors. All opinions are 100% mine. The majority of the driving I do is behind the wheel of a small, zippy sports car. Though sadly, I occasionally get dogged by my friends and family for driving it like a little

With less than a week until winter officially begins, it’s time to break out the gloves for my morning drive to work. Gloves keep my hands warm, but they make it impossible to interact with my phone while I’m wearing them. That’s why touchscreen gloves are a necessary tech accessory for gadgeteers. This year Mujjo

That’s what Boxwave promises with their ClearTouch SmartButtons screen protector. Made from tempered glass, it boasts two invisible “buttons” at the bottom of the iPhone’s face

I know of almost no one worth his or her Gadgeteer lifetime membership badge who doesn’t have some sort of power backup for their smartphone and/or tablet. This category has exploded, along with the move from cheaper, low-quality batteries to safer, more robust, and highly focused battery packs. Jackery, Inc. has recently introduced a range

Before 2010, there were no touch-centric tablets, only laptops that had stylus-driven screens. Suddenly, when the iPad burst upon the scene and gave tablet makers permission to dream of a touch-oriented screen and apps that could be on a larger screen than a phone, the world changed. Tablets that vaguely resemble the iPad have come

When I was a kid I would sneak into my parents bedroom when they weren’t home to admire my dad’s pocket knives and watches. He had some very nice knives, but I don’t think he had one as nice as the Small Carbon Fiber Sebenza 21 folding knife from knife designer Chris Reeve of Boise, Idaho.

Recently a curious thing happened – I was given the opportunity to use an Android phone with a 5″ screen, and I didn’t hate it. We know Julie has a love/hate relationship with iOS, as do several others here at The Gadgeteer. I’ve been a bit deeper into iOS than some, having used iPhones exclusively

First it was portable USB chargers, then Bluetooth speakers. Lately I’m seeing a lot of “web” cameras designed as security or monitoring devices. Today I’ve got the Kidde RemoteLync Smart Home Camera to try out.

I’m going to say this right up front. I really like hybrid earphones. I like the warm bass that the dynamic speaker provides. I like the accuracy the armature speaker is able to replicate. And I like that when used together, these two different speaker technologies give the best of both worlds. It’s never a

Dave Rees and I have been waiting for what feels like years in gadget time for the Nexus 6P. We each ordered one on the day they were announced and waited over a month to receive them. During that time, Dave had second thoughts about the 128GB version and cancelled in favor of a 64GB

Do you include a pen as part of your EDC (every day carry)? I have a couple full sized pens in my gear bag, but I don’t typically carry a small pen in my pocket for those times when I’m walking around at work and need to write something. Since I’m currently obsessed with pens,

A year ago I reviewed the Zerohour XD tactical flashlight and closed by saying that it was probably the last flashlight I’d ever purchase. Well, the folks at Zerohour haven’t been standing still and have recently introduced the little brother to the XD and I may have to eat my words. I’ll give it a
