Reviews about interesting gadgets, gear, mobile technology and lifestyle products.
Do you ever wonder what we do with the products we review after we’re done writing about them? Do we continue to use them? Do they stop working soon after we post our review or do they keep working for months and years? We’ll let you know every Thursday with a gadget review update post like […]

Ever wish your wallet was the perfect combo of thin, stylish, secure and durable? Yep, me too. I’d been on the hunt for such a unicorn for some time when I discovered that one my favorite wallet makers, Bellroy, had released their new Elements Range of wallets. Billed (see what I did there) as “Extra

Before the holidays Verizon was nice enough to send me the LG G Android Wear-based watch to test drive. It seems like I’m always excited about wrist worn gadgets until I actually strap them to my wrist. Once I do, I quickly tire of them. I was hoping the LG G Watch would buck that trend.
I got a new job! Well, that’s not the subject of the review, but because of the job, I’ve been overwhelmed by the number of business cards I receive. They’re all important, so I do want to file them, but the old way of manually keeping them in a business card folder seems so inefficient

Bluetooth speakers come in a variety of shapes, sizes and colors. They make them small enough to carry in your pocket or on your keychain and design them to snap on your bicycle handle bars or fit in your car’s cup holder. They even make Bluetooth speakers that can float in your swimming pool. All of these novelty

Lately, I’ve been considering upgrading my Onkyo stereo receiver. It’s about 8 years old and doesn’t have wifi, Bluetooth, USB or even HDMI. But it does have a nice sub output for my (even older) Pioneer subwoofer—but that’s another story. There have been countless times that I’ve wished I could easily stream my iPhone to

My iPhone is constantly giving me notifications. I chose to have this feedback, but sometimes, I have to interact with it to turn off a reminder or timer. If I’m using a case, swiping across the face requires pulling the phone out, swiping, then replacing it in the cover. Enter Moshi’s Sensecover case. This cover

I have reviewed multiple sport headphones and earbuds over the years. Using wireless streaming via Bluetooth while working out has become much more the norm than the exception. Sport-centric Bluetooth earbuds have become less bulky, better sounding, and much hardier…making the experience more enjoyable. The Sport ROX Wireless are Jabra’s latest and greatest “premium wireless earbuds” engineered

The proliferation of gadgets without keyboards has been explosive over the last few years, as have the options for keyboards to increase productivity. The Surface and Surface Pro series, the numerous Windows, Android and iOS tablets…all of them call for a keyboard to really maximize productivity with these devices. Rapoo generously sent us a sample

Every Thursday we take a look back at some of our past reviews and add updates to let you know how the product has stood the test of time. Some products continue to impress after months and years, while others might quickly fail. Just scroll to the bottom of each of the listed reviews for the
I’ve not seen the need to get a security camera. I neither live in a huge, obviously-full-of-expensive-things home, nor in one of “those” areas where break-ins are common. But I do have this cute little dog, and when I’m gone, I often wonder just what he’s up to – when he’s not sleeping in his

Another Bluetooth speaker? Been there, done that. Waterproof? Yawn. Okay, how about one that floats? If that caught your attention, check out the NYNE Aqua floating Bluetooth speaker.

There’s an old saying: “You can never be too thin or too rich.” In today’s tech-driven world, I would like to add to that: “You can never have enough backup power.” It’s grammatically clumsy to be sure, but it’s also true. We are more dependent than ever on places to plug in and recharge our

“Funny us going out like this—killed by a 400-foot Marshmallow Man!” Of my favorite movies (and there are many), Ghostbusters has always been on my short list. It has action, ghosts, special effects and best of all, a near constant barrage of quotable one-liners from the top-notch cast. (“Tell ’em about the twinkie.”) And while marshmallow-flinging

I hate keys. They get lost, freeze up, fall on the ground, take up space in my pocket, and scratch things like my smartphone. And, now that my car has keyless entry and ignition, I even get annoyed at cars that require me to dig in my pocket and take out the keys. Such a hassle.

The Dropcam Pro is one of the most compact, easy to use, and polished wireless cameras on the market. Their greatest weakness is being an indoor-only product with no outdoor option. Over the past few years, other manufactures have created aftermarket enclosures to protect the Dropcam from the elements. But many of these products have come

I’m always on the lookout for a great portable speaker to extend music from my mobile device or laptop. There are tons of options out there, but many of them look cheap and don’t sound so great. My post today will cover the Rapoo A600, a portable Bluetooth and NFC enabled speaker. Let’s take a look!

You’ve probably purchased a product, really liked it and then a week or so down the road it breaks or you find something that does a better job. We understand that opinions can change, so we’re updating our older reviews to give you an idea of how certain products stand the test of time. Just scroll
In case you’ve been living in a cave for the last few years, I have some news for you: there’s this thing called fitness bands (or activity trackers or wearables, depending on what your angle is), and it’s everywhere. Julie has collected the entire set, I believe. She has also offered the team several, so,

A lot of high end fitness trackers that are designed to keep track of your steps and physical activity can also give you insight on your sleeping habits with the hope of improving them. Everyone could use a better night’s sleep right? The only problem with most of these trackers is that you have to wear them on
