Tronsmart Splash 1 14

REVIEW – Have we finally reached the saturation point with portable Bluetooth speakers yet? It seems that new ones are popping up every week—and boy, are they now cheap!

REVIEW – I’ve been following a lazy Keto / low carb diet for the past year. I’m pre-diabetic and use Keto to keep my blood sugar levels stable and to hopefully remove the pre-diabetic label and get back into the non-diabetic group at some point in the near future. Just because I’m eating low carb

NEWS – I enjoy searching for unique EDC gear and I especially like finding multi-tools that pack a lot of functionality into a small form factor. The MyKee 2.0 definitely ticks the boxes for being unique and having a small form factor. The MyKee looks like a traditional key that you would find on your

Orosound Tilde Pro Premium C Plus Bluetooth ANC headset review

TILDE PRO 6

REVIEW: The Orosound Tilde Pro Premium C+ Bluetooth headset is a serious audio listening and speaking device. This headset will not be found on the impulse-buy hangers at your office supply store. (The price was my first clue.) You can listen casually with the Tilde Pro, but if you want excellent sound reproduction from a

REVIEW – I’ve reviewed a couple of robot vacuums in the past that include a wet/mop function, but neither of them did much in terms of mopping. As a result, my back still hurts after every manual mopping session. I was excited to review the Dreame H11 Max Wet and Dry vacuum and hoped that

REVIEW – These days I often create a short video to add to my reviews here at The Gadgeteer.  A couple of recent examples include the setup of UREVO’s treadmill and Flexispot’s standing desk.  As we’ve said many times on this blog, lighting is key to good photography, and that’s also true for good videography.

REVIEW – My son and I discovered Keychron about a year ago. We’re both Mac users and were looking to see what all the fuss was about with mechanical keyboards. We bought him the K1 model (104 key with brown Gateron switches) and were almost immediately obsessed. I picked up a K1 and then a

GOKUID Storm 2.1 CH Sound Bar for TV with Subwoofer review

REVIEW – Confession time. I generally like stock speakers. I know, I know. The treble usually sounds like a tinfoil thunderstorm and the bass doesn’t go low enough, or the crackle when one side of whatever speaker-equipped entertainment device you’re working with inevitably dies. (RIP driver-side rear speaker in my ’93 Thunderbird.) But I never thought

REVIEW – Have I been called a prepper?  Guilty.  I try to be super prepped for an earthquake, which is far and away the most likely natural disaster to hit Southern California.  When the Oupes power station came up for review, it was one piece of equipment that was missing from my kit, and I

REVIEW – I typically don’t need to charge my phone while I’m at my desk. However, occasionally I have found the need/desire to top off my phone battery, but I wouldn’t say I like using a cable. When the Nomad Base Station Mini review offer came along, I thought it would be a great time
