Focal Sphear 1

After reviewing every headphone French audio speaker company Focal sells, one fact stands out: Focal makes some of the best headphones available.

mujjo leather touchscreen gloves 1

With less than a week until winter officially begins, it’s time to break out the gloves for my morning drive to work. Gloves keep my hands warm, but they make it impossible to interact with my phone while I’m wearing them. That’s why touchscreen gloves are a necessary tech accessory for gadgeteers. This year Mujjo

Here’s a carabiner that Luke Skywalker would love

svorn

The SVØRN Arcus carabiner keyring is a traditional carabiner with a futuristic alien style. It’s made from a light weight Zinc alloy with a Chrome Noir finish (black chrome). The Zinc material means that it won’t be as strong as steel, but that’s not really a problem because you don’t use the Arcus for climbing,

I know of almost no one worth his or her Gadgeteer lifetime membership badge who doesn’t have some sort of power backup for their smartphone and/or tablet.

Bionic Bird is an smartphone controlled winged drone that flies like a bird

bionicbird

Drones are a popular gift this holiday season, from expensive professional quality drones like the Chroma Drone that I reviewed a couple weeks ago, to much more affordable ones from online retails like Amazon. Most drones that you see are also called quadcopters because they have four rotors. But I doubt you’ve ever seen a

like a glove
