It's time to talk vinyl. Yes, this is one of those formats that you just have to be in to, and a lot of of people are. Audio-Technica occasionally makes a lot of products for vinyl, and we had the chance to try out the AT-LP60WH-BT. I suppose what gives the AT-LP60WH-BT its unique power is the fact that it is wireless, thanks to the help of some Bluetooth connectivity. … [Read more...] about Audio-Technica AT-LP60-BT Fully Automatic Wireless Belt-Drive Stereo Turntable
Porter Cable 20V MAX 1/2 Inch Brushless Lithium Cordless Drill Driver (PCCK607LB)
The other day, I was doing a little house project of hanging Christmas lights, and I was attempting to screw a...screw into my porch. Unfortunately, I could only get the screw to go so far before it just locked up on me. I was using the Black and Decker SMARTECH 20V MAX Lithium Drill/Driver for that job. At the risk of sounding like Tim Allen, I needed something with more … [Read more...] about Porter Cable 20V MAX 1/2 Inch Brushless Lithium Cordless Drill Driver (PCCK607LB)
Audio-Technica ATH-ANC40BT QuietPoint Active Noise-Cancelling Wireless In-Ear Headphones
I have had a terrific time reviewing Audio-Technica products before, and there are a lot of them out there. This particular ATH-ANC40BT QuietPoint Active Noise-Cancelling Wireless In-Ear Headphones has a lot going for it. I have said before that wireless products like these are probably going out of style due to the new age of the wireless earbuds, but the ATH-ANC40BT … [Read more...] about Audio-Technica ATH-ANC40BT QuietPoint Active Noise-Cancelling Wireless In-Ear Headphones
Olloclip Core Lens Set for the iPhone 7 or 7 Plus
It has been a long time since I have reviewed a good Olloclip product, and I would love to say they are the best of their type. Seriously, I am not certain if any company makes such great lenses for smartphones, particularly iPhones. I was pretty glad to review their latest product for the iPhone 7/7 Plus with the Olloclip Core Lens Set. Most of the time, the Olloclip … [Read more...] about Olloclip Core Lens Set for the iPhone 7 or 7 Plus
STM Part 2: Dux iPad Pro Case
In addition to reviewing the STM bag that I reviewed the other day, I figure that it was now a time to review another STM product. This one is the Dux case for the iPad Pro. The Dux rugged case is made to just snap right on the iPad Pro, and it not only protects the device but has a place to hold the Pencil. I'm talking about that cool accessory that Apple just released, … [Read more...] about STM Part 2: Dux iPad Pro Case
PDP, Part 2, for Xbox One: Titanfall 2 Wired Marauder SRS Headset, Wired Controller, Backpack, and Talon Media Remote
Yesterday, I discussed two headsets for the PS4, one wired and one not wired. Today, I'm going to give the Xbox One a chance, and I will start with a headset. Specifically, a Titanfall 2 headset. I would imagine that the game has been doing pretty well since the end of last month, and so it makes sense that there are all kinds of accessories with that theme from this … [Read more...] about PDP, Part 2, for Xbox One: Titanfall 2 Wired Marauder SRS Headset, Wired Controller, Backpack, and Talon Media Remote
STM Part 1: The Haven 15-inch Laptop Backpack
I've recently reviewed STM products last summer as they introduced a backpack with a battery in it with the Drifter. What attracted me to reviewing this Haven backpack for 15-inch laptops product is that I was told that it was good for travel and allows devices to stay suspended inside. Part of it is the slingtech protection. It has a whole lot of space for a laptop, and … [Read more...] about STM Part 1: The Haven 15-inch Laptop Backpack
PDP, Part 1: Afterglow LVL 5 Plus and Afterglow AG 9 for the PS4
Well, it has been a while since we have reviewed a PDP product, and they are best known for creating video game accessories that can glow. I requested quite a bit of products from this company, and I was surprised that they sent a bunch to me. Today, I'm going to be talking about two products, specifically for the PS4 with the Afterglow LVL 5 Plus and the Afterglow AF 9. … [Read more...] about PDP, Part 1: Afterglow LVL 5 Plus and Afterglow AG 9 for the PS4
Hands-on Review of Jabra, Part 2: Sport Pulse Special Edition
This is a Jabra Sport Pulse Special Edition, and it is another one of those wireless earbuds that goes around your neck. It is billed as "the world's first sports headphones with automatic fitness testing". The Jabra Sport Pulse Special Edition has a built-in heart rate monitor in the ear. It is apparently made with US military standards, which means that it can … [Read more...] about Hands-on Review of Jabra, Part 2: Sport Pulse Special Edition
The Scribble n’ Play from Boogie Board
You might be familiar with Boogie Board as they make these eWriters. They are not the eReaders like a Kindle, but something that you can write on electronically. While it may not be the Sync that allows you to save something, the Scribble n Play is definitely made for a younger audience. You should be able to write or draw on the Scribble n Play with anything like your … [Read more...] about The Scribble n’ Play from Boogie Board
Hands-on Review of Jabra, Part 1: Halo Smart Wireless Earbuds
I have reviewed a lot of Jabra products in the past, and I am pleased to review another with the Halo Smart Wireless Earbuds. They are one of those that wrap around the back of the head, like the iHome FIT Wireless, and I am told from Jabra that this style will soon be replaced with the wireless earbuds (coming next year from Jabra). I am told that the Jabra Halo Smart … [Read more...] about Hands-on Review of Jabra, Part 1: Halo Smart Wireless Earbuds
Hands on with the Thinium ReCHARGE+
I think that the Thinium ReCHARGE+ is very close to another product that I just reviewed this week with the Prong. This particular charger is not made to be a charger and case, but is a decent enough mobile battery. This is the Thinium ReCHARGE+, and it is made for micro USB Android phones. I've been noticing a particular trend in mobile batteries to have these prongs … [Read more...] about Hands on with the Thinium ReCHARGE+
iHome for the Holidays, Part 3: iHome Wireless Bluetooth Speaker or iBT9
Okay, so it is time to conclude our iHome review products for the holiday with a product that isn't going out of style anytime soon, the wireless, waterproof, and shockproof Bluetooth speaker. That's about the best name I can give this product, besides its name of iBT9. I'll just get this out of the way and say that I have seen this product before from Fugoo and others, … [Read more...] about iHome for the Holidays, Part 3: iHome Wireless Bluetooth Speaker or iBT9
Reticare Protectors on Screens Reduce Eye Damage
Okay, it is time to talk about something potentially uncomfortable. The issue is that we are living in a world of screens on our smartphones, tablets, and computers, but we are not thinking about the effect of it. Fortunately, there is Reticare. I first encountered Reticare at CES 2016, and I allowed the spokesperson the time it took to discuss the problem with our … [Read more...] about Reticare Protectors on Screens Reduce Eye Damage
iHome for the Holidays, Part 2: iHome FIT Wireless or iB73 Earbuds
Well, it is now the second day of the iHome holidays with the iHome Fit Wireless. This product, also known as the iB73, is one of those Bluetooth 4.0 earbuds that goes around the neck. Granted, it is probably not the first Bluetooth product of its type for iHome, and these type of models are being phased out by the wireless earbuds that will be the thing to have in 2017. … [Read more...] about iHome for the Holidays, Part 2: iHome FIT Wireless or iB73 Earbuds
