Master & Dynamic MW09 Active Noise Cancelling True Wireless Earphones review – an incremental or substantial upgrade?

Master Dynamic MW09 27

REVIEW – Over the last nine years, I’ve reviewed a lot of Master & Dynamic’s audio headphones, earphones, and even a concrete Bluetooth speaker! With each (almost yearly) iteration, M&D has made improvements in both sound and features. Some have been substantial, and some have been incremental. Their new MW09 earphones are more in the

Lofree Block 98 mechanical keyboard review – A modern mechanical keyboard with a classic design

lofree block98 2

REVIEW – I’m back with another keyboard review, which has an aesthetic some of you may recognize. My first experience with a mechanical keyboard was an IBM Type M. I found a stack of them to be thrown away years ago and snagged a couple as a goof. The keyboard was huge and weighed a

CARLUEX AIR Wireless CarPlay/Android Auto Adapter review – a clever way to go wireless or even standalone

Carluex air 14

REVIEW – When we purchased our car a few years ago, I was immediately annoyed with the requirement to plug my phone in every time I wanted to use Android Auto. I’ve tried another “convert wired Apple Carplay/Android Auto to wireless” dongles in the past, but was plagued with disconnects and dropped connections so I

Hollyland LARK M2 wireless lavalier microphone review – A microphone system for cameras and smartphones

hollyland lark m2 2

REVIEW – Video content creators know that other than a camera, there are two other important things needed to produce quality content. One is good lighting, and the other is good sound. You can’t create a great video if the audio is not clear and crisp. While our cameras and smartphones may have good built-in

TerraMaster D6-320 6-bay external hard disk enclosure review – wonderfully boring

TerraMaster D6 320 12

REVIEW – I’m not sure how long this review of the TerraMaster D6-320 6-bay External Hard Disk Enclosure will be. Once set up and turned on, the D6-320 just kinda sits there doing its thing—and not much else. So, is there anything to say about a boring product such as this? I can say that

FUNTOK 24V 7AH 2 Seater Kids Electric Ride on Car review – I would have killed for this car when I was a kid

FUNTOK 24V 7AH 2 Seater Kids Electric Ride on Car 27

REVIEW – I was always envious of other kids with battery powered cars when I was a kid, but as I grew up I found out that those 80’s era children’s cars tended to have battery lives in the 10’s of minutes and you were lucky if they could go faster than 2 miles an

Ultimea Apollo S50 Detachable Soundbar review – Better TV sound, with a few options!

Ultimea soundbar 7

REVIEW – It used to be that you had two choices for TV audio – the tiny speakers that are built into TVs or large home theater systems with many speakers that dominate the room.  Then soundbars became popular and added a third option for folks that wanted much better sound than a TV can

NYXI Wizard wireless gaming controller review – Add a little retro spice to your Switch

nyxi wizard 2

REVIEW – Much to my wife’s chagrin, I’ve recently gotten back into video games. Luckily for her, it’s now on the hand-me-down Nintendo my son gave me. Now I’m not hogging the TV. She can watch what she wants and I can happily spend way too many hours exploring Hyrule. Since the original Joycons are

Outphorce HS1 cordless, portable, hand vacuum with blower review

outphorce car vac 1

REVIEW – I hate cleaning out my car, mainly because I have to drag our upright home vacuum cleaner out to the garage and wrestle it around the car to vacuum out the inside.  It’s a pain, and if you have ever done that yourself, you know what I am talking about.  Now, we do

REVIEW – I am well into the process of upgrading my home office/studio to better handle my Podcast recordings, my photography and videography post-production and my time spent writing reviews. I have been searching for a keyboard that just feels right for me. I know that I would prefer an ergonomic keyboard, and I want

XTOOL IP819 02 scaled e1703787288169

REVIEW – Cars today are rolling computers now so if you want to figure out what your check engine light means you need an OBDII port scanner device. XTOOL asked me to review their new InPlus IP819 Smart Diagnostics Tool, so I jumped at the chance to see how my 13-year-old car is holding up.

INSE H1 handheld cordless vacuum review – It sucks in the best way

INse 4

REVIEW – A car wash at my local place is now $25 for the basic inside and outside scrub down.  They do a good job, but can I afford $25 a trip?  Nope.  That’s why I’ve gotten quite good at cleaning my own car.  The outside always looks great, but getting the carpets clean has
