When writing about and reviewing earphones, I always include two points that are important to each model: the seal from the eartips and whether the earphone uses a warmer sounding dynamic or the more accurate, but bass deficient armature based speaker. Scosche is a maker of a seemingly endless array of affordable iPhone/iPod accessories with

Looking for that perfect case for your new Thinkpad Lenovo Tablet? It’s not easy. As a new and “business grade” product, the amount of cases in production out there are very far and few between. Searches in local shops and online lead me to so many cases that were either too big, or too small;

I haven’t used a multi-tip pen on a long time, so when Brad at JetPens asked if I might like to review the Zebra Sharbo X ST3 multi-tip pen, I was happy to say yes. The multi-tip pens from years gone by were usually bulky and not very sleek. People would never guess that the

There are a lot of watchbands for the iPod nano on the market, and a lot of them seem a bit big and sporty to me. The Loop Nano watchband is sleek and looks more like a regular watchband. It works with both the 6th and 7th generation of the Apple iPod nano. Let’s give

I’m not crazy about most do-it-yourself dog grooming products because most of them are long on promises and short on delivery. And they’re expensive. For that kind of money, I can just take my pooch over to PetSmart and let them do what they have to do. I have a Pembroke Welsh Corgi, and for

Let me begin this review by saying that I am not in construction or a business that requires hearing protection. However, I do live on 1.5 heavily treed acres, so I spend a good amount of time with electric and gas chain saws, gas weed-wackers, and lawn mowers. They are all obnoxiously loud. I used

A normal stylus with a hard tip works fine for writing and sketching, but when you want to “paint” on your tablet, a stylus with a brush tip can be a much better choice. There aren’t many styli on the market that fit this criteria and I’ve only had the opportunity to review one other

I really like watches, especially unusual ones. The Phosphor Appear Black Crystal Watch with Black Gloss Leather Strap is certainly unusual. It reminds me of eInk screens in a way. Instead of using LEDs to show the time, these watches turn over crystals to show a clear side or a colored side to create the
