Reviews about interesting gadgets, gear, mobile technology and lifestyle products.
We have reached a tipping point; smartwatches are no longer something worn only by early adopters and gadget geeks. Smartwatches are a common sight in most big box stores and it’s not hard to walk down the street and find cool tech affixed to someone’s wrist. Early smartwatches were bland devices that stood out from […]

I like to go walking and when I do, I listen to podcasts on my iPhone using earbuds. Of course, having the cords dangling from your ears and catching on stuff can be quite annoying, so I went in search of something cordless that I would also be able to use as a handsfree headset

Incredibly smooth finishes on whisper-thin slabs of slick metal and glass. Gravity. Hard landing surfaces. Does this combination sound familiar? Of course it does – it’s our Gadgeteer shared nightmare of dropping a piece of tech and seeing it shatter to the ground in slow motion as we’re diving to the rescue. We could always
The best part of traveling is seeing new places, meeting new people and eating new foods. The worst part about traveling is packing. Especially unpacking. In the past, it’s been a big hassle to our old luggage because it was like a set of Russian nested dolls, where the largest suitcase held the next largest suitcase,

We’ve all had it happen – that shiny new gadget of yesteryear (or yestermonth, in many cases!) suddenly can’t use the all new and shiny cutting edge things that all your friends are raving about. How can I play my music from across the room since my stereo doesn’t have Bluetooth?

A little over a year ago, I reviewed the Fiio X3 digital audio player (DAP). I liked the sound (still do) and its ability to play higher resolution files than my trusty iPod Classic. However, its interface suc… left a lot to be desired. Plus the arrangement and purpose of buttons was confusing at best.

Velcro®-backed patches have become very popular in some circles, especially within military and related communities where they are often called “morale” patches. Additionally, clothing, backpacks and other soft goods designed for military, police or similar occupations include strips of webbing that can be used as modular attachment points for the customized addition of pouches and other accessories.
When you are working within a video or photo editing app, or just listening to music, sometimes it’s nice to have a manual controller for certain functions. This is where the Griffin PowerMate Bluetooth comes in handy. This little aluminum device can be used for many things, so let’s take a look.

I have many pairs of headphones lying around the house. They’re coming out of my ears. Really. I still dislike the in-ear style (IEMs, ear buds), so I’m restricted to headphones that rest outside my ears. Today, I look at the Noontec ZORO II wireless headphones that not only cut the cord, but fold up

Since becoming part of the Gadgeteer team, I’ve had the opportunity to review a few wireless security cameras. As I’ve said before, I love the peace of mind they bring my family. I’ve attempted to use these cameras to create a patchwork home security system – with varying levels of success. What I truly need

There have been many wireless cases, which add the ability to phones or tablets built without a charging system, but the folks at Luxa2 removed the case, and thus, freed up the idea of wireless charging for everything.

MPOW has recently come out with a new Bluetooth 4.0 speaker which I really like. I have quite a few portable speakers in my collection but this one is now my favorite. Like all of my speakers you can plug it into your phone or iPod via the headphone jack. Nothing new or special there.

I am a bagoholic. I have two closets filled with bags from waist packs, day bags, shoulder bags to camera backpacks. Some of them date back a ways…I still have and use both a Roadwired Pod and Podzilla! I am always on the lookout for that next bag that will hold what I need when

I avoid checking bags in while flying whenever possible. Additional bag fees? No, it’s the hassle of waiting for checked bags at the carousel, the risk of lost luggage, and the tendency to overpack. I tend to travel with lots of loose items (charging cables, wall warts, adapters), so what if I could find a

Backpacks and messenger bags have become our preferred everyday carry bags. But what happens when you need something a little more business-like? Waterfield’s newly updated Cozmo 2.0 laptop bag seems to be the type of bag that would be useful in a business setting. While reviewing the bag, I found that it is even more

In the past year or so, quadcopters and drones have exploded onto the scene. What used to be a novelty in Brookstone or the Sharper Image, is now everywhere. I’m not exaggerating when I say I recently saw a shelf full of drones in a local 7-11. I’ve always wanted to get one, but could

Are you curious about how well some products stand the test of time after we post our initial review? What happens days, weeks, months or years after that post? Do we keep using the products only to have them fail soon after? That’s what these review updates posts are for. From time to time we’ll

I freely admit that the new Logi (formally Logitech) Blok keyboard case is the first iPad keyboard I’ve ever used. iPad keyboard cases just never held any interest to me—until the Blok came out. For some reason, the Blok intrigued me where no other keyboard cases had before. So, this review is from a newbie

I saw the above cartoon on Twitter a month or so back. It shows the symbols all Gadgeteers fear: No wifi, the “waiting” pinwheel from your phone’s weak processor, the flashing red battery icon, and, of course, No Cell Service. While service coverage will vary depending on geography and location, and the processing power of your

As I’ve said time and time again, I’m in a car a lot. A good portion of the gadgets I buy are to make life easier on me while in my car. One of my constant sources of frustration is where to keep my phone while driving. When cell phones first came out, you could
