Welcome to a new category on this show that I would like to call, Product Shout Out. I've been seeing Phiaton for years at CES, and I think it is time that I take the time to put a spotlight on their products. I'm going to focus today on three particular nice looking ones with the BT 220 NC earphones, the and the. The BT 220 NC are earbuds that are wireless thanks to the … [Read more...] about Product Shout Out: Phiaton BT 220 NC earbuds, as well as Chord MS 530 and Bride MS 500 headphones
The Clio Invisible Bluetooth Speaker from Clearview Audio
While I was at CES 2015, I had a chance to see the Clio, an invisible 2.1 Bluetooth speaker that you can see here. I couldn't help but think that I had seen it before, but I just couldn't place where. I suppose that the Clio Invisible Bluetooth Speaker is made to fit in within to any room. It isn't like a regular speaker, which is usually ebony black, but as you can see, … [Read more...] about The Clio Invisible Bluetooth Speaker from Clearview Audio
Tech21 Technology’s Classic Trio, Classic Shell, and Impact Mesh
I have had a chance to try out Tech21 technology products before, and they make some very quality products. The color orange is a huge factor, as it is on their packaging and their products. The Orange is some D30 impact material that is that type of putty you can put on your finger, strike with a hammer, and you won't feel it. The first item that I will review is the … [Read more...] about Tech21 Technology’s Classic Trio, Classic Shell, and Impact Mesh
The Avegant Glyph Media Goggles
This is a product that I saw at CES, and I have to admit, just seeing it says something about our society. It's almost as if this is some performance art piece showing how our headphone-wearing society is blinding us. However, these are the Glyph media goggles from Avegant. Just to let you know, the Oculus Rift this is not. However, it does have some DLP display technology … [Read more...] about The Avegant Glyph Media Goggles
Skydrop Sprinkler Controller
These days, it seems like everything is connected to your smartphone these days. I suppose that it is only a matter of time before sprinklers had this type of control. I have no idea if the Skydrop is the first to do this, but it won't be the last. You might think that the purpose of the Skydrop is to time a way to start and stop your sprinklers. Yes, it can do that, … [Read more...] about Skydrop Sprinkler Controller
Speculative Fiction Saturday: Mockingjay, Part 1
Okay, let's talk about trilogies. Ever since the Star Wars original, they have been box office gold. If the trilogy is good, then that third one is worth the wait. If that second movie isn't so good, the third one still gets money because people think: "this probably won't be good, so let's just get this over with". So what do I think about the third film of the Hunger … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday: Mockingjay, Part 1
My review of the eTAPE 16
While I was at CES 2015, I had a cool chance to see many great gadgets, including the eTAPE 16. I am not certain if I have ever seen a technological tape measure before, but I would like to see more advances in it. It has a Large Digital Display on top, which means that you don't even have to look at the tape to get your measurement. So what good is that? Well, you can … [Read more...] about My review of the eTAPE 16
Stelle Audio PIllar Portable Wireless Bluetooth Speaker
I recently just discovered Stelle Audio, and they really make some classy products like the Clutch Mini-Speaker that I reviewed a while ago. Their products look like they would be at home in the house of a millionaire. Many tech products are really designed to be practical, but very few are made to be fashionable. Stelle Audio crosses that line that really needs to be … [Read more...] about Stelle Audio PIllar Portable Wireless Bluetooth Speaker
Beyerdynamic MMX 102 iE and iDX 120 iE Earbuds
It is been a while since I reviewed a beyerdynamic product before, and the last time was one of the T 51 headphones. This time, I got to review two pairs of earbuds with the iDX 120 iE and the MMX 102 iE. Yes, they are very similar in name, and slightly similar in design as well. I'll go ahead and start with the MMX 102 iE. Of course I am going to tell you that it has … [Read more...] about Beyerdynamic MMX 102 iE and iDX 120 iE Earbuds
BluBed Headset Holster
This device I discovered at CES, and I had a chance to try it out as well. It is a device that really needs to be tried out. Simply put, the BluBed is a holster for your Bluetooth headset. You might ask why you might need one. Ask yourself this question then: where is your Bluetooth headset now? If you are like me, you keep a Bluetooth headset in your pocket. Since … [Read more...] about BluBed Headset Holster
Amzer CRUSTA Case and Kristal Screen Protector
I have reviewed Amzer products before, and I have always been pleased with them. I had a chance to review two after CES, and they include the Crusta and Kristal, both for the Samsung Galaxy S5. I'll start with the Crusta, which is a four-layered case that is somewhat stylish as well. Let's talk about the layers: The first is a tempered glass screen protector, which … [Read more...] about Amzer CRUSTA Case and Kristal Screen Protector
The BACtrack Vio Smartphone Breathalyzer
It has been a while since I reviewed a BACtrack product, because I honestly don't really need them. That is not a slam on the product, because I highly endorse any product that will save lives. There is a kind of poetic justice as I first reviewed a BACtrack product one year ago after CES 2014, and I now am working on reviewing another with the BACtrack Vio. When I first … [Read more...] about The BACtrack Vio Smartphone Breathalyzer
My Review of the IN1 Case for the Galaxy S 5
Our smartphones can really do a lot of things, but if you have to tighten a screw, there is no app for that. The IN1 case is like a Swiss army knife for smartphone cases, and it really is quite cool. Within the IN1 case are small versions of a blue pen, red pen, flathead screwdriver, Phillips screwdriver, nail file, tweezers, scissors, and toothpick. Now, you can flick … [Read more...] about My Review of the IN1 Case for the Galaxy S 5
IZZI REMIX Quick Change Lens Case for the iPhone 6
Here is another case for the iPhone 6 that I will be reviewing, and this one is the iZZi REMIX. I'm going to be honest and tell you that the iZZi REMIX is similar in function to the Olloclip, a product that I have reviewed before. The Olloclip is a way to put lenses on your iPhone for some interesting photos. The iZZi REMIX has 5 lenses, and they are the 170 Fisheye … [Read more...] about IZZI REMIX Quick Change Lens Case for the iPhone 6
Typo2 for the iPhone 6
Okay, I might as well just come out and say it and say that the TYPO 2 is a keyboard for your iPhone. Sure, you could get a Bluetooth keyboard, but the TYPO 2 is made for the device itself, the iPhone. Also, why should I have a keyboard on my iPhone when the iPhone gives me one already? Well, the TYPO2 hangs out at the bottom of the screen and brings back 1/3 more … [Read more...] about Typo2 for the iPhone 6
