Reviews about interesting gadgets, gear, mobile technology and lifestyle products.
My son finally took up an interest in learning to ride a bike, so I’ve been looking into ways to increase visibility. Bright clothing and reflectors are important, but a wild array of LED lights on the wheel? This could be hard to ignore!

Charging devices is one of the unpleasant and time-consuming tasks that we gadget addicts must endure, thanks to the primitive state of electrochemical energy storage. While ultracapacitors have not yet set us free from the torturous charging wait time, there are products that purport to make that wait time shorter. Bench Soft sent us this

There are a lot of TV set top boxes out there. The closest I’ve come to using one is using Chromecast or our Xbox for streaming various forms of media. That’s not to say that I haven’t been interested, so when The Gadgeteer was offered the Pivos Xios XS Media Center for review (an Android/XBMC

Yes, another Bluetooth speaker. Maybe I’m a grouch, or old fashioned, or something else, but I see very little use or need for Bluetooth speakers. The only one I own is the a secondhand Jawbone Jambox, and I never use THAT. Then I found out the Logitech Ultimate Ears UE Boom model was highly rated, so I thought

Do you frequently misplace your keys in your house or apartment? Share your keys with others in your household and need a common access point? Like to dump your keys as soon as you come in so they’ll be accessible when you leave? Leave outgoing mail near the door so you don’t forget to post

Ever since my granddaughter visited Disney World, she’s been asking when I was going to put “Fairy Lights” in the trees around the house. I’ve been able to deflect, usually with the promise of ice cream, but now I can answer her request using the Night Stars light. Although my initial thoughts were “who needs

I loved watching that footage of the giant meteor that broke up over Chelyabinsk, Russia. It was caught by dozens of people, from every conceivable angle. Were they waiting for it to show up? Heck, no, no one knew it was on its way. The Russians are big fans of car dash cams to protect

We have posted news articles here on The Gadgeteer about multitasking phone cases before. To be honest I have been enamored by a few, but in the end I have to ask myself “would I really use this in the real world”? In most cases I would have to say no, the gadgets or gimmicks

Headphones are the type of thing that are very hard to shop for, since there’s so much to look into – sound quality, comfort, and price. I love a bit of bling in my technology and gadgets, so when I saw these Forte Impact earbuds in rose gold, I couldn’t resist to review them! Let’s take a look.

I don’t know about where you live, but where I am in Columbus, Indiana, people have horrible driving skills. I constantly see people run red lights and cut in front of you with little to no time to brake. I’ve often thought that I should consider buying a dash cam to use an insurance policy

I recently upgraded from a Samsung Galaxy Note 2 to a LG G3 smartphone. Having reviewing the LG G2 last year, I was expecting the G3 to have Qi charging capability right out of the box. I was really disappointed when I found out that this would not be the case with the US versions

In my never-ending quest for power, with thirst-hungry gadgets all over my house, my car, and my office, one of the biggest problems I have is being able to charge multiple devices at once. For example, when you travel and stay in hotel rooms, if you are lucky you have one of those lamps beside

Chances are pretty good that you have at least one universal charger already. One was probably even given to you as a gift over the holidays from a relative who thought it sounded “techie.” I may be just a little bitter because I find one in my stocking every year from my mother, and they

Do you have a good memory? Do you remember everything that happened on your last birthday, vacation or family outing? Do you wish you had some pictures from that one time… at band camp? Although most of us carry a smartphone with a camera, we can’t take a picture every minute to document our lives. That would

Who doesn’t need a desk lamp? How about an energy efficient LED desk lamp? Often when I think of LED lighting, I think of the sometimes harsh blue tinted lights, but the TaoTronics Elune Dimmable LED Desk Lamp has several light settings so it is time to set my presuppositions aside and give it a

There’s a new-ish technology being used in many items, and I’m kinda digging it. It’s the microsuction tech being used by case and stand makers for securing items to smooth surfaces. The folks at Lynktec use it to hold their new GripStand to the back of an iPad or tablet – or even a flat, smooth

We love our family room/den. It’s the place to be in our house probably because it’s a really comfortable room and most of our devices are in there: the Wii, the Chromecast, the Xbox, and our computer. One thing in particular that I have been wanting for a while is to be able to play our

Owners of multiple mobile devices realize that their gear bag or their power strip at home can quickly become a jumble of power adapters. Sometimes you can share a single charger between multiple devices, but then you’re limited to charging only one of your devices at a time. With the ARCTIC Home Charger 4500 Four
