vaja 15mbpro leathersuit 1

I have reviewed several of Vaja’s Leather Suits over the years. All perfectly fitted for each of my Apple laptops and constructed with some of the finest materials available.

The FirePak is the SureFire way to light your iPhone videos

SureFire FirePak 1

If you’ve ever tried to shoot iPhone videos at night then you’ve surely run into problems. The iPhone has a great camera, but it has a teeny tiny aperture which makes night shots problematic.

Last Sunday I posted a review of the Smoovie Pocket Video Stablizer and wasn’t very impressed with it. Now I see that Olloclip is offering a video grip that looks interesting. The Pivot doesn’t have a gimbal like the Smoovie, you’re on your own for stabilization, but a lot of phones already have built-in image

Focal Listen headphones review

Focal Listen 2

When I reviewed the Focal Spirit Classic, Professional and One S headphones, I marveled how a French maker of insanely expensive speakers could manage to produce affordable headphones. Yes, they’re expensive, but not when compared to their heritage. Well, that’s all changed. Focal has released three new headphones and while the Elear (review coming) headphone

logicircle

The Logi Circle is a home security camera that I reviewed late last year. I liked how easy it was to use, the time lapse view of detected events that make up a day and the fact that you weren’t required to pay a monthly or yearly subscription fee to use it. Although you still

If you have a smartphone, then you also have a smartphone that has fingerprints and smudges on the screen. It’s unavoidable when the screen is made of glass and are fingers are dirty and greasy from all manner of reasons. Yuck. If you’re like me, you probably turn the phone over and rub the screen

Evoplus Q9 Car Charger With Bluetooth Headset review

q94

Bluetooth headsets and USB car chargers are a dime a dozen. You can find them everywhere. But what you can’t find everywhere is a device that combines both of these together. The Evoplus Q9 car charger combines two separate USB ports with a built-in Bluetooth headset. One of the things I liked most about this

Bowers & Wilkins P7 headphone is now wireless

BW P7 Wireless 4

Last year, Bowers & Wilkins stepped into the future with their on ear P5 Wireless headphone. In my review, I said … “the fact that Bowers & Wilkins makes the P5 sound as good as it does when wireless is a wonderful bonus.” That bonus has been expanded to include the over ear B&W P7 Wireless.

I’m not much of a gamer anymore, but my son (currently age 10) enjoys playing Minecraft and asked for an alternative to the flat-keyed Apple USB keyboard.  I thought this would be a great time to take a closer look at a mechanical keyboard- in this case, the Drevo Gramr 84-key Backlit Mechanical Keyboard.

Like it or not, the days of wired earphones, headphones and earbuds are numbered. Why? Because, iPhone 7. Next week Apple is going to officially announce the iPhone 7 and it will not have a 3.5mm headphone jack. The Motorola Moto Z beat them to the punch on being the first smartphone without a headphone
