REVIEW – Have you ever heard the saying “You must go back to move forward”? Nah, me neither. However, that bit of sage advice might apply to the “new” Master & Dynamic ME05 wired earphones. These little gems hark back to the time when most wireless earphones were either too meh-sounding, too expensive, or both. […]

REVIEW – In today’s digital age, I find myself frequently using my computer, phone, or tablet for note-taking and information storage. While I have made a conscious effort to transition away from physical paperwork, there are instances when I require quick note-taking of essential information, such as phone numbers or confirmation codes. Usually, I would

REVIEW – I previously reviewed the Arcade A2 Stretch belt and their National Geographic 1888 and both perform great although the Nat Geo belt buckle is a little too wide for some of my pants. The new Arcade Motion levels up your everyday look with a sleeker more refined look. ⬇︎ Jump to summary (pros/cons) Price: $54.95

REVIEW—I like to think I keep a pretty neat and clean home. I wash my bed sheets once a week. That being said, I rarely clean the mattress protector or the mattress itself. I have seen a few reviews on other mattress vacuums and wondered if they were really worth the money and effort. So

REVIEW – The curse of having technology that you carry around everywhere is that you eventually have to park it somewhere to charge it. (Well, unless you want to also carry a battery pack around! Hey, no judgment! I’ve been that guy.) If you have a desk, table, or nightstand where you sit your devices

REVIEW – I have wanted a Benchmade knife forever! I’ve never had one. I’ve only ever gotten my hands on them in stores specializing in outdoor sports. So when The Head Gadgeteer In Charge told us there were a couple of offers to review them, I jumped as high as my 51-year-old body could muster
Benchmade Adira knife review – Sitting on the dock of the bay in Magnacut, baby! Read More
REVIEW – I’ve been soldering electronics since the 3rd grade. It’s safe to say I’ve had my share of soldering irons over the years. A truly portable, cordless iron has been somewhat elusive. I’ve tried butane-fueled, AA-battery powered, and ones that take power tool batteries. I’ve just come across one that gives them all some

REVIEW – I’ve always had a mild fascination with astronomy, but my interest grew significantly after last year’s total solar eclipse. Capturing images with my iPhone during the eclipse’s totality made me curious about what it would be like to use an actual telescope. Although I’ll have to wait for the total solar eclipse in

REVIEW – I have a lot of “smart” products in my house. In fact, I just checked and there are currently 38 things connected to the Wireless network in my house. And only a few of them are phones, tablets, or computers. Most of our smart devices are smart lights, smart plugs, and smart speakers.
REVIEW – When we travel to large cities, like Washington DC or Atlanta here in the States or like London or Paris in Europe, we typically bring a small army of gadgets that need power, including iPhones, iPads, Apple Watches, and Kindle Paperwhites. Our phones need charging during the day as we are out sightseeing,
REVIEW—I am excited because I have yet another network device from Engenius to test and review. By now, Gadgeteer readers already know that I am a big fan of EnGenius and their network products and that my home network resembles the infrastructure of an Enterprise network in many ways because of the various devices I

REVIEW – For the past few years, I’ve relied on backpacks to carry my laptop and tablet when traveling. However, there have been moments when I found myself wishing for a quality laptop bag as an alternative. The Waterfield Designs Shinjuku Laptop Brief immediately caught my eye as something likely to last for a long

REVIEW – Because indoor air is often dirtier than outdoor air, I’ve been searching for air purifiers for our home. The Gadgeteer was offered the Provirtec ClearBreathe Smart Air Purifier to review and I got the chance to do so. I have another air purifier I reviewed and like really well – it’s the Airthings

REVIEW – When we moved into our new house three years ago, I never thought I would want window coverings on the high-mounted small windows that we have in several rooms, including our master bathroom. I quickly discovered that because we live on a corner lot that has another street running straight into our side

REVIEW – About 8 years ago I got sucked into the mechanical keyboard hobby. And down a rabbit hole I went. Over the years I had accumulated a myriad of different boards from various different companies. But the Fizz K617 is the first board I have tried from Redragon. And it is also the first
REVIEW – I’ve been a smartwatch wearer since 2012, with the Pebble smartwatch. The primary purpose of a smartwatch for me has always been to screen calls and notifications before actually taking my phone out to respond or interact with them. The Pebble pretty much only did that function, and subsequent smartwatches over the years

REVIEW – More than two decades ago, I was a fresh-faced, young college intern in a corporate IT department, and one my tasks involved test-driving what was the grandfather of the modern smart TV: a projector with a built-in computer. Of course, this was 2004, which meant the projector I was evaluating ran Windows CE.
REVIEW – As a mom, I am constantly on the lookout for things that will encourage my children to get outside and take a break from the screens. However, there is so much technology that getting away is a challenge all of its own. The Isinwheel V4 children’s electric skateboard combines the fun of electronics

REVIEW – I’ve got cats. Two of them, to be exact, and they are angels when it comes to using a scratching post. One of them has arthritis, however, so she is limited to scratching the base of the posts she has. The Mau Torii cat scratcher allows the elegant style of hardwood yet the

REVIEW – Solar outdoor lights are very easy to find. You can find small ones for a buck at the dollar store, even. The biggest problem I’ve seen with those, though, is that in general you’re lucky if they last a year and the plastic stakes and posts tend to break very easily. Not a
