Troubadour Embark Duffle Bag review – when ordinary is not good enough

troubadour embark 16

REVIEW – When I travel, I already have a couple good suitcases to carry what I need.  Sometimes, however, they are too much space—think overnight trip—and at other times they are not quite enough, like when I travel to a conference for the week.  For times like these, a good duffle bag is exactly what

Runhood RALLYE 600 Pro Power Station review – innovative power station system done right

runrood power station 24

REVIEW – Having reviewed quite a few power stations here at the Gadgeteer, they all have seemed to blend together lately for the most part. Usually, the review entails making sure it can meet the quoted power output, testing battery life claims, and comparing the number of ports or other minor distinguishing features. The Runhood

Jabra Elite 4 Earbuds

REVIEW – Seems like everyone and their brothers are making earbuds these days.  From the knock-offs of the fruit-branded “pods” to specialty devices meant to pair with your favorite word processor, there is something for everyone in the space in between.  The question is, why pick one over the other?  That’s where Jabra hopes to

XPPen Artist 10 (Gen 2) Pen Display review – If it’s a small graphics tablet you want, this is it

XP Pen Artist 10 16

REVIEW – In economics, there is something called the “Trickle-down Theory”, meaning the best of a few years ago works its way down to the rest of us mere mortals. While you may or may not agree with that theory, it does hold true for many products—notably display tablets. Features that were only in high-end

Monoprice Soundstage 3 portable speaker review – more speaker, less portable, all great!

monoprice speaker 8

REVIEW – When people discuss portable speakers today, most imagine a small Bluetooth speaker that you can clip to your backpack that you can enjoy at the beach, set your drink on top of, or maybe even accidentally knock it into the pool without damage.  That is not this speaker, which is a refreshing change.

Vosteed Gator 3.98” blade folding knife review – a beast of a knife

Vosteed Gator 01

REVIEW – I’ve reviewed a few Vosteed knives so far including one of my favorite knives, the Vosteed Raccoon pocket knife, and have been impressed with each knife. I was hoping they would come out with a larger blade as most of their offerings are around the 3.25 inch length. Enter the Vosteed Gator folding

wizmaker 11

REVIEW – I have always been fascinated by the cool crafting projects I have seen for sale at various farmer’s markets and artists’ shows in the area.  I am talking about the kind of crafts where you see flat wooden ornaments with different names inside of them, etched tumblers, etched glass, and etched and cut

CROWDFUNDING REVIEW – Even though I brush my teeth twice a day and floss regularly, I still have problems with build-up behind my lower front teeth due to how they are crowded. This is my trouble spot and where the hygienist always spends the most time torturing, I mean cleaning. That is until I switched

Edifier WH950NB Bluetooth Active Noise Canceling headphone review – A lot of headphone for the buck

Edifier WH950NB 2

REVIEW – Four years ago (has it been four years?), I reviewed the Edifier W860NB Bluetooth Active Noise Canceling headphone. I liked those headphones but had some reservations I’ll get into later in the review. Four years later, Edifier has released the new WH950NB headphone—and boy, did they learn some things! What is it?
