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

Griffin’s iTrip Clip will let you hold on to the past for awhile longer

griffin itripclip

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

Braven BRV-1M portable Bluetooth speaker review

Braven BRV 1M 11

You might think that after reviewing the ginormous Braven BRV-XXL, it would be a letdown following that up with a review of the much, much smaller BRV-1M speaker. But that would be a wrong assumption. Yes, the BRV-XXL sounds better—a lot better than the BRV-1M. So what? It ought to—it’s over ten times bigger and

Creative iRoar Wireless Intelligent Speaker review

Creative iRoar 16

Say what you will about Creative Labs; they sure know how to milk a product line. In 2014, I reviewed the Creative Roar Bluetooth speaker and fell in love with its ability to sound as good as the current (at the time) portable Bose speakers at a fraction of the price. Yeah, it had some

Optoma NuForce BE6 Bluetooth wireless headphones review

Optoma Blueforce BE6 26

Bluetooth headphones: There are a ton of them out there, right? Why review another one? Because we’re The Gadgeteer, and that’s what we do. I’d been on the hunt for a good set of wireless headphones for a while, so I was excited about Julie’s offer to review one of the newer products in this

Your smartphone can keep your feet warm this winter

thermacell proflex

It’s hot and humid right now here in Southern Indiana where I’m located, but before we know it, the snow will be flying and we’ll be wishing it was summer again. Cold weather makes me miserable because my internal thermostat is defective. Heck, I’m wearing a sweater right now and it’s going to be over

Skoog tactile music interface review

Skoog 2

As some of you may know, I love to tinker around with making music on my iPad. I have bought, traded and reviewed a number of products that allow me to interface with programs like Garage Band on my iPad to create and record music. I have had various amounts of success with these products,

Motorola’s VerveOnes+ wireless earbuds review

motorola verve onesplus 1

In the beginning, there were speakers. Then came headphones with wires, then smaller earphones with wires. Next came wireless earphones that didn’t require a wired connection to the music device, but required a wire between each earphone. Now we have Motorola’s VerveOnes+ wireless earbuds which are truly wireless. I’ve been excited to try this style of wireless

The Braven 105 Bluetooth speaker is as active as you are

Braven Active 105 4

Just when I finished reviewing the huge Braven BRV-XXL, they released the smallest of the Braven family; the Braven 105 Active. The 105 is made for just that—an active lifestyle. While you could conceivably get more exercise jogging while carrying  the 18 lb. BRV-XXL, it’s obviously not practical—and just plain weird. The Braven 105, however,

Skybuds are completely wireless earbuds

Alpha Skybuds 1

The notion of only having small earbuds in each ear, without cords of any kind, should make many activities where cord management and cord noise are problematic, such as running or exercising, more enjoyable and immersive.  There are a few players in this relatively new field of gadget, notably: Bragi, Earin, Motorola, and BÖHM. Skybuds, manufactured by Alpha Audiotronics, Inc.,

IDeaPLAY Bluetooth, Wifi, Soundbar review

ideaplay 4 e1468617463278

Every so often a product comes out that sounds in theory like a great idea but in practice it unfortunately falls short. Soundbars have been a staple ever since LCD TV’s replaced plasma TV’s. Why? The sound quality on LCD TV’s are terrible due to their ultra thin design. When I first read the details of the

They sound great when paired to my Nexus 6P, have a unique power on/off switch and great battery life. But there’s always one thing that you wish you could improve… keep reading to
