Reviews about interesting gadgets, gear, mobile technology and lifestyle products.
REVIEW – I am on a roll with my obsession with wireless mic systems, so why stop now? I have been fortunate to test and enjoy several brands and models. I like having options especially since each has their niche and unique sound and features that match what I need. Now I get to continue […]

REVIEW – EDC items aren’t just flashlights, wallets, and knives. For techies on the go, EDC can be their phone, laptop, and all the necessary cables required to power and charge them. We all know how USB cables can become tangled in knots while traveling. Native Union Pocket Cable has designed a USB-C cable that

REVIEW – While smartphones and tablets have many calculator app options, they cannot be used on exams administered by the College Board. The Casio fx-CG500 is the preeminent graphing calculator made by Casio that is College Board approved (without using the stylus). I have one to review; read on to see what I think! What

REVIEW – I just reviewed the AiDot ENHULK 58V 16” Carbon Fiber String Trimmer and was very impressed, so when the AiDot online store asked if I’d like to try the ENHULK 58V 16” Chainsaw, how could I say no? Let’s see if the AiDot ENHULK 58V 16” Chainsaw performs just as well. What is

REVIEW – As we get ready to send co-reviewer Mason off to college three hours away, we thought it would be smart to send him with a dash cam for his commutes and his time on campus, just in case. While we’ve used dash cams before, this is the first time we’ve had one with

REVIEW – I have not reviewed many keyboards, but the few I have tested have made me a fan of Keychron keyboards. I recently reviewed the Keychron Q0 Max QMK Custom Number Pad and the Keychron Q10 Max (Alice Layout) mechanical keyboard. Since keyboards are not necessarily my favorite gear to review, I thought I was

REVIEW – I have some hearing loss like a lot of people. I have to have the TV up pretty loud to actually hear what’s being said. In crowded situations, I have to concentrate on the person speaking in hopes of grabbing enough of what they’re saying to be able to hold a conversation. Most
REVIEW – I’m always on the lookout for snacks that satisfy both my sweet tooth and my nutritional needs. Enter ALOHA, a brand that’s been making waves (see what I did there?) in the plant-based protein market with their bars and powders. In a world where convenience often trumps nutrition, ALOHA offers an alternative to

REVIEW – I don’t know about the rest of the gadgeteers but I am always trying to improve but also streamline my EDC and my travel gadgets. Lots of times this involves finding a device that performs more than one job. That’s why I was excited to review the Outdoor Tech Bolt Bluetooth speaker. It

REVIEW – It’s been around 10 years since I upgraded my iPad, so this year, I decided to bite the bullet and go for the M4 11″ iPad Pro. In the past, keyboard cases had connection issues and were terribly bulky, but the Logitech Combo Touch for iPad Pro advertises connecting automatically, just like my

REVIEW – Mobile phones have changed the communication landscape. For many, phones aren’t for talking anymore, they are just for texting and email. But there is one other thing that almost everyone does with a mobile phone – take photos. These photos sit in cell phone jail, resting, unseen, in the phone’s memory, and most

REVIEW – Wearing your prescription eyeglasses out on a sunny day may improve your vision, but it doesn’t provide adequate protection from the sun’s intense light. But the Bristol eyeglasses by GlassesShop help solve this problem by offering both functionality and style. What is it? The Bristol eyeglasses are lightweight round frames that come with

REVIEW – My wife loves hot tubs. Whenever we travel, a hot tub is the first filter on the Airbnb listing that she checks – it’s a “must-have.” I’ve always been opposed to getting one at home due to the initial cost both for the tub, and also to have a new 220V line run
REVIEW – When you think of action movies what do the heroes, anti-heroes, and villains all choose as their primary weapon of choice? Right, a gun, but what is their backup weapon? Yeah, you’re right. It’s probably another gun, but the weapon of last resort is usually a knife. And what kind of knife? Well,
REVIEW – I have an older filament printer that I learned to design, tweak, and print 3D models. Usually, my bigger prints came out fine, but I could never get the detail of smaller prints to look good. I heard about resin printers but didn’t know the benefits and shortcomings. I knew I wanted to

REVIEW – A good, quality writing instrument is key to an EDC kit. Titaner, an EDC brand specializing in titanium, offered the Ti-Chi Click pen up for review and I had to see how a titanium pen holds up. Read on to see how it performs! What is it? The Titaner Ti-Chi Click pen is

REVIEW – xTool has recently announced their newest laser engraver, the xTool F1 Ultra that features both a 20W diode laser and a 20W fiber laser. Not only is this a world’s first, but xTool has also raised the bar for laser engravers by implementing a camera and a conveyor system. What is it? The
REVIEW – We’ve been searching for a good pair of headphones for co-reviewer Mason to take to college. He’s looking for comfort, good sound quality, long battery life, and nice looking over-the-ear headphones. When we had the opportunity to review the JLabs JBuds Lux ANC wireless headphones, they ticked all the boxes. Plus some we

REVIEW – I was spoiled as a kid, as I had an automatic can opener, and while I’ve tried them on and off after leaving home, I just haven’t found one I’ve wanted to keep around. The Orbit One rechargeable professional strength can opener by Kitchen Mama is an automatic can opener that is small

REVIEW – The Scriveiner Black Green Fountain Pen is from a manufacturer that claims to be “UK’s leading luxury pen brand”. These Brits use some German parts, and wisely so. The Black Green Fountain Pen is available in several finishes and with the Schmidt nib, and ink converter, it is like writing with a pen
