EasyAcc 2-Port USB Charging Dock review
Why didn’t I think of this before: A charger that doubles as a dock? Or a dock that doubles as a charger? Which is it?

Stilo stylus review
Steve Jobs may have hated them, but I’ve always liked styluses. I have a collection of them because I’m always trying to find the perfect one that doesn’t feel like a stylus at all, but more like a pen on paper. The latest stylus that I’ve had the opportunity to test is the Stilo stylus.
Choetech 15,600 mAh dual USB battery pack review
With all the portable battery packs out there it is getting harder and harder for manufacturers to stand out. You can get these battery packs everywhere now, even in gas stations. So what is it that makes the Choetech dual-USB battery pack stand out? Well, for starters, it has a quick-charge USB port to enable

Boombotix Boombot Rex Bluetooth speaker review
I think I’ve said before, in an attempt to be fiscally responsible (cheap), I try to do most home repairs and renovations myself. I often enlist the help of my children and employ them as my gofer’s. If you ask my children what the most important part of any job is, they will tell you

SwitchEasy Blocks Customizable Dock Building Set for Apple Watch review
As a LEGO fan and an Apple Watch owner, I had heard about people building their own Apple Watch charging stands with LEGO blocks. When SwitchEasy came out with its Blocks Apple Watch charging stand, I jumped at the chance to take a look at it.

AcuRite Digital Refrigerator Thermometer and Freezer Thermometer sensors with Temperature Alerts review
I live in a rural area where power outages are commonplace. It doesn’t seem normal when a week goes by without the power flickering or going completely out for at least a few minutes. Before we had a whole house generator installed, we would lose the contents of our refrigerator and freezer at least once
Lifestyle 800 Lumens Cree LED flashlight review
Even though I review mostly audio gear, I jumped at the chance to test the Cree LED High Power Searchlight. My interest was piqued when I bought a 250 lumen flashlight to replace my aging Maglight and its pathetically weak bulb. But once I saw that the Cree light was 800 lumens, I couldn’t resist.

Nike Vision Run X2 Sunglasses (EV0798) review
There’s just nothing worse than exercising in glasses or sunglasses when they slip, bounce and fog up because of perspiration. When the Gadgeteer was asked to review the Nike Vision Run X2 Sunglasses, I volunteered to see if they might function better than others during exercise. What I found was that they are excellent sunglasses

Bienna QY7 Bluetooth Wireless Sport Earphones review
Ah, the freedom of wireless sound! Bluetooth has freed us from the tyranny of wires connecting our keyboards, mice, and the sound coming into and going out from our various devices. I truly love speakers that I can use with my phone or iPad out on the deck or in the den. In the last

Spy Tec Cirrus i8 high definition pan/tilt cloud security camera review
I love indoor security cameras. I have what I consider a healthy bit of paranoia and love the peace of mind security cameras give me. Prior to my employment with The Gadgeteer I had purchased two Foscams, and early on I was given the chance to review the Oco Cam. Recently, I was given the

Thonet and Vander Kürbis Bt Bluetooth speakers review
Over the past couple of years, I’ve become a fan of small (and not so small) portable Bluetooth speakers. Yeah I know, they don’t have the audio chops to qualify as anything near “audiophile” and stereo separation is almost nonexistent. But despite all that, they are portable and that counts for a lot. But what

LynkTec Apex rechargeable fine point stylus review
I have always been a big fan of styli since my days with my first Palm Pilot. There has hardly been a capacitive stylus that I haven’t used, from iFrogz to Wacom Bamboo, to Hand, to a plethora of other no-name brands over the years. When the opportunity came to review an active stylus, I

StrongVolt Solar 18 with SunTrack Technology solar charger review
Let’s face it. We are a battery operated world. With all of our electronic gadgets, like our iPads, smartphones, iPhones, MP3 players, GPS, handheld games, and tablets, they will still have to be plugged into a power source to recharge the battery that powers them.

Winnergear MicFlip reversible micro USB cable review
It looks like an ordinary micro USB cable right? Wrong. The Winnergear MicFlip USB cable is reversible. But the reversible end isn’t the larger end, we’ve reviewed a few of those cables; it’s the micro USB end that is reversible with this cable. The question that comes to mind is why the heck weren’t they

iLuv FitActive Air Bluetooth earbuds review
I’m always on the hunt for decent Bluetooth headphones that are good to use while running, or sitting at my desk at work. I have enough cords and wires working in a NOC (Network Operations Center), so wireless always seems like a good idea! I recently got the chance to check out the iLuv AirFit

Pocket Shot slingshot review
Remembering back to when I was a teenager, one of the scariest things I ever bought was a slingshot. I was not scared because the slingshot was inherently dangerous because it was. No, I was scared because I did not know how my parents would react. Living in a rural part of PA at the time,

BlackBerry Passport review
BlackBerry isn’t the first platform that I think of when it comes to smartphones. But in a world where it’s difficult for a smartphone to stand out from the crowd, the BlackBerry Passport is obviously different. But is it different good or different bad? Let’s find out.

Tylt Flyp-Duo Reversible USB Charge & Sync Cable review
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

Inateck MercuryBox Bluetooth Speaker review
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

Garmin GDR33 dash cam review
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
