REVIEW – Whenever I see the opportunity to review sub-$100 headphones, I am always interested since I have what I call a series of reviews that target headphones in this price range. Just about all the headphones I have reviewed in this category are wireless or hybrid. It is about time that I check out […]

REVIEW – Cats are finicky creatures. However, I really start to feel bad for those cats come August. It is just plain hot. And if I’m miserable without my fur coat, I can only imagine how crazy the heat is with their fur coat which also brings about all of the shedding and allergies and

REVIEW – I’ve tested quite a few electric skateboards here at The Gadgeteer, and it’s been a blast re-learning my high school longboard skills again while cruising around town. For short rides I’ve really been loving the Uditer Pixel Mini skateboard, but we have some great longer trails near us that I’ve been itching to

REVIEW – Keep in mind as you read this review that I have been a fan of Casio G-Shock watches for as long as I can remember. I got my first G-Shock in high school one day when a couple of friends and I skipped school to go to a huge mall an hour away
Casio G-Shock GA2100HDS-7A watch review – I’m shocked at how much I love this watch! Read More
REVIEW – It’s fascinating how Apple’s decisions can make accessories obsolete or even boost the market for others. For instance, when Apple started charging exorbitant prices for memory/storage upgrades on their Macs and smart devices, companies like Satechi came up with solutions that let customers use more affordable memory chips for storage. I recently bought

REVIEW – I’ve reviewed a handful of diode laser engravers, and while they engrave and cut many materials well, they have difficulty engraving and cutting clear materials, which is something I’ve been wanting to do. Diode laser light (~455 nm) passes right through clear material and therefore needs a black coating to successfully engrave these

REVIEW – Summer and all of its gloriously hot weather is here, and that means it’s time to get out of the house and get to grilling. A gas grill is the perfect way to quickly grill hot dogs, hamburgers, kabobs, or whatever you fancy. In this review, I’ll be putting the Mesa 415Bz from

REVIEW – We’ve suspected my brother-in-law has been experiencing hearing loss for quite some time, so we jumped at the opportunity to try Ceretone’s Core One Hearing Aids to see if they would help. Can we have a drum roll, please? ⬇︎ Jump to summary (pros/cons) Price: $349.99 (regularly $699.99) Where to buy: Ceretone What is it?
REVIEW – Who remembers the days of stealing a sibling/cousin/best friend’s snack, only to be caught and have only one iron-clad defense to yell, “Well, I didn’t see your name on it!”. As your friendly neighborhood millennial with a middle child history, I can tell you I’ve screamed this more times than I can count.

REVIEW – The field of under-desk exercise options is pretty full right now. There are a lot of products and different designs and I’ve been interested in finding a way to bump up my passive exercise levels for a while now. I tried an elliptical style under-desk exerciser a while back and I enjoyed it,

REVIEW – Ready to ditch your wallet that would make George Costanza blush with its spine-altering thickness? You might need to check out Allett. I’ve reviewed several products from Allett, the most recent a handful of wallets back in 2019, and I’ve been impressed with their durability and slim, minimalist style. Since it had been
REVIEW – I have a bunch of different tablets. I have an iPad, various Android tablets, and a Microsoft Surface. I got a hard cover for the iPad that has a built-in Bluetooth keyboard (with a touchpad), so it’s nice being able to type on a physical keyboard. And after I recently got my Pixel 9

REVIEW – They say that eyes are the window to the soul. They are also the focal point for headaches and dry eyes. Heat, cool, and massage are all solutions to these maladies. It’s tough, however, to find yourself a nice, local eye masseuse when you need one. Bob and Brad, maker of all kinds

REVIEW – Backing up your digital stuff is super important. But most people don’t think about it until something goes wrong. I can’t imagine losing years of family photos or important work documents because a drive failed. That would be hard to bounce back from. One of the easiest and smartest ways to keep your

REVIEW – I’ve used and owned a lot of different portable chargers and they have certainly improved and changed over the past few years. A new (to me) modular option came up recently with the XTAR New PB2SL V2 2-in-1 Charger & Power Bank and I had to check it out and see how well

REVIEW – If you’ve worked or even seen the inside of any type of modern office in the last 15-20 years, you’re familiar with the idea of standing desks. Most information workers expect them and use them without thought, but getting one in your home office has, until recently, been prohibitively expensive. Until today’s desk

REVIEW – When I was growing up, we would often rent a projector and big screen from where my dad worked. I loved being able to cozy up and forget the world while our house became a door to another dimension. The upgraded version of the Wanbo X5 Pro is a personal projector that takes

REVIEW – This has been the year for severe storms where I live. We’ve been at this house for 25 years and we’ve had more storm damage this past spring than all those years together. Most of it has been tree damage. But with all storms come power outages. We’re lucky that we have a

REVIEW – Charging our phones on the go is a constant thing. (I laughed at a dating site that asked “Phone battery level” as a profile question. The choices were “Always charged”, “50%”, and “Always in the red”. Has this become yet another way we codify our place in society?) To mitigate this (and possibly
