Sound Intone i65 Headphone Headset Review

Loving the sleek design of the Sound Intone i65 Headphones!

Hey there. As most of you know, I’m a huge fan of music. So I listen to music for about 5 hours a day, if not more. This puts me in prime position to test out new headphones for long periods of time so that I can check out what works and what doesn’t. Recently, I’ve been donning the Sound Intone i65 Headphones (Black and Gold) during those long periods of music time. Our good friends Sound Intone provided me with the i65 headset to try out and review. I’ve been using in ear headphones recently so it’s a nice change of pace to use a headband, over the ear cuff headphones. But before I go into my experience, let’s talk specs.

Samsung is Making a Wider and More Powerful Galaxy S7

The Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge are still actively making sales for Samsung, but rumors are spreading that the company is working on its successor, which could possibly be released sometime next year. However, mobile experts say they don’t expect the new phone to compete with the newly announced iPhone 6s and 6s Plus just yet. The reports currently circulating seem to think that the Korean tech giant will most likely announce the new device at the 2016 Mobile World Congress (MWC) in early March that will be held in Barcelona.

Dubbed as the Galaxy S7, what should we expect from Samsung’s next flagship?

iLike Speed Metal Bluetooth Headphones Review

Hey there.  It's no secret that I love music and I have several sets of headsets/headphones to match the occasion.  I want to lounge around?  I get some super comfy headphones.  I'm going out for a run?  Get the in ear sweat proof headphones.  Doing some work out in the yard?  Get the heavy duty, noise cancelling headphones.  I think that it's amazing the different styles of headphones that are out on the market.  That's why when a company comes to me and asks for my opinion on their headset, I'm super eager to give them a try and see how they compare to some of the others in my collection.  This time, our good friends at OPPO provided me with the OPPO Exclusive iLike Speed Metal Bluetooth Headphones to try out and review.  Though I already have a few sets of lounging around headphones, I was excited to get a pair of the iLike Speed Metal Headphones because it has one of the more unique designs that I have seen.  So lets not waste anymore time, so before I get into my thoughts and experience, let's talk specs.

dBs Live Wireless Stereo Bluetooth Headphones Review

Hey there.  I love a great set of headphones.  I have a set of headphones for all kinds of occasions.  I have a few for running, a few to rock out to at the gym, a set to use while doing yard work, and a set to use while commuting to work.  The best part is that each set is perfect for the task at hand.  The gym headsets get out of my way, the yard work set has awesome noise reduction, and the running headsets stay in my ears and have moisture protection.  I even have one for online work and online gaming!  The only headset that I don't really have is a lounging around in the house just chillin' headset.  That's where Direct Beats Systems (dBs) comes in.  Our good friends at dBs provided me with the dBs Live Wireless Stereo Bluetooth Headphones to try out and review.  And you know what... they couldn't come at a better time.  The dog days of Summer are on their way and I am looking forward to just lounging around and listening to some of my favorite tunes.  But before I get into my experience with these headphones, lets talk specs.

Mpow Swift Bluetooth Headphones Review

Hey there.  I love music and I'm always looking for ways to enhance my music loving ways.  Whether that be getting a sound bar for my TV, getting a great Bluetooth speaker, or getting an awesome set of headphones so that I can listen to music wherever I am.  The thing is, though, that I commute a few hours to work each day and I can't take speakers with me so headphones are what I'm using the most at the moment.  This is why I was extremely thankful to our friends at Mpow for sending me their Mpow Swift Bluetooth Headphones to try out and review.  I've had my fair share of headphones and I've had some great ones and I've had some bad ones.  I can honestly say that Mpow's headsets have not disappointed and I hope that the Swift Blutooth Headphones will follow suit.  So before I get into my experience, let's talk specs.

Uqique Mini Digital Voice Recorder Review

The perfect voice recording device!

Hey there.  Imagine this...  You're in class (or in a meeting) and you're supposed to be paying attention.  No matter how hard you try, there is no way that you take notes on every single thing that was said.  Your hand can only write so fast.  This may not be too much of a problem, but when it's a hour and half long lecture or meeting... you're going to wish you were able to "catch that again."  ESPECIALLY for those of us that need to take minutes during a meeting.  There is so much dialog and so much back and forth that you'll wish you can replay the meeting so that you can write up accurate minutes.  I'm in meeting all the time having a replay of the meeting would be perfect when writing up those minutes!  Well, with the Uqique Mini Digital Voice Recorder, now I can!!!  The awesome people at Uqique provided me with a Mini Digital Voice Recorder so that I can try out and review and let me tell you... I am glad that they did.  Not only has it been extremely in a school/work setting, but it's been extremely useful at home as well.  Before I go into my experience with the Uqique Mini Digital Voice Recorder, let's talk specs.

Spry Styles Portable 2 in 1 Charge and Sync Cable Review

Love the compact, take me anywhere, design of this
Spry Styles 2 in 1 Charge and Sync Cable!

Hey there.  I love me some gadgets.  I have all kinds.  Phones, chargers, tablets, cameras, keyboards...  You name it, I probably have one.  The best part is that the majority of them can be charged up by a USB cable.  Those of us with Apple devices use a lightning cable and those of us that use practically everything else end up using a USB cable.  More often than not, it's a micro USB connection.  The problem?  Apple having to use a completely different cable to charge.  It can be a pain having to switch back and forth between cables or even worse, having to use 2 USB ports (one for the lightning cable and one for the micro USB cable).  Well, our friends at Spry Styles has solved that problem for me!  They provided me with this super neat Spry Styles Portable 2 in 1 Charge and Sync Cable that will charge using both a lightning cable port and micro USB port!  It has a compact design that allows you take it anywhere with you and protects the connections to avoid damaging the connections.  Let's jump right into my experience, shall we.

Apple, Samsung, HTC... Whatever it is... IntelliARMOR has you covered!

Hey there. How many of you guys own a "crackie?"  What?  You're not familiar with the term?  Well, it's what I call a phone with a cracked touch screen.  My brother and I coined that term years ago when I saw his iPhone screen all cracked.  I remember him saying, "This is crackie.  It's like my 3rd crackie."  lol  Man, I have yet to experience a crackie but my brother is not the only one that has had one.  For whatever reason, the iPhones are prone to cracked screens.  So why not reduce the chance of owning a crackie?  And I don't mean by protecting you screen with a flimsy screen protector.  Protect it with an awesome, crystal clear, exceptionally strong, oleophobic (that's water resistant) coating, and super easy to install.  That's right, you need an IntelliGLASS Hardened Glass Screen Protector by IntelliARMOR!  Our friends at IntelliARMOR provided me with an IntelliGLASS Screen Protector for the iPhone 5 to try out and review. AND... just because they are awesome, one lucky winner will be able to select a screen protector of their choice!  They have protectors for iPhone's, Galaxy's, HTC, phones as well as protectors for tablets!  Before we get to the giveaway, let me tell you about my experience.

iGotTech Texting Gloves for Smartphone & Touchscreen Review

The pair of gloves that the techie in your life will love!

Hey there.  I'm not sure if you've noticed, but it's been pretty cold practically every in America this winter.  Many cities have been snowed in and others have a wind chill that's so low that you've be crazy not to bundle up and wear gloves when you step outside.  The problem with wearing gloves during this day and age, though, is that you can't use your smartphone or tablet.  Or more specifically, you can't access any of the touchscreen features because of the fabric that's blocking your fingers from touching the screen.  If you have a touchscreen smartphone or table, trying to use it with gloves on sucks.  The touchscreens just to do not respond well to anything other than a finger.  The screen needs to feel your touch in order for it to respond.  I have this pair of gloves that keep my hands all warm and fuzzy but I have to take them off whenever I need to answer my phone, text someone back, or use practically anything on my phone, exposing my hands and fingers to the cold elements.  Well, iGotTech has your back!  The fine folks at iGotTech sent me a pair of their premium iGotTech SmartTech Gloves to try out and review and let me tell you this... I'm glad they did.  I've had the pair of gloves for about a week now and I can say with confidence that if you are techie living in a cold climate, you need a pair of these!

NorthONE Digital Tire Pressure Gauge Review

Hey there.  I recently moved to Lancaster, CA and I wasn't as well prepared as I thought I would be.  Especially when it came to car maintenance.  I knew that the weather would get colder than what I was used to, but I didn't think that it would get to freezing temperatures!  Because of the cold weather, my car tires were constricting, causing them to lose tire pressure over time, and I wouldn't find out until it was too late.  On more than one occasion, my wife and I found ourselves waking up to a flat tire.  After those incidents, I mentioned to my wife how we're going to have to keep an eye on the pressure on the tires to make sure that they stay properly inflated.  Even though I have a standard metal tire pressure gauge, my wife insisted on something that is easier to use and read.  Something that she would have no problem using.  That's where our friends at NorthONE saved the day.  The NorthONE Digital Tire Pressure Gauge came to the rescue.  This thing has everything that I am looking for in an easy to use, easy to read tire pressure gauge.

SHARKK Lightning to USB Sync and Charge Cable Review

Hey there.  In the past couple of months, the importance of a good USB cable has become more and more apparent.  I've own many devices and each one seems to come with a USB cable to charge the device with.  At first, I believed that a cable is a cable and I would use a smart phone USB cable to charge a tablet.  Then I would wonder why the tablet didn't charge at all using that cable.  Once I was well informed on USB cables, I started to upgrade them.  The latest upgrade that I picked up?  The SHARKK Lightning to USB Sync and Charge Cable. Our good friends at SHARKK provided me with this lightning fast cable to try out and review.  Since this is a USB cable, this won't be a long post, since in essence, it either works or it doesn't.  lol  Before I get into my experience, let's talk specs!

RAVPower 24W Dual 2.4A USB Wall Charger Review

Hey there.  I have all kinds of tech gadgets at home.  Who doesn't like gadgets, right?  The best thing about those gadgets is that they can be charged up with a USB cable.  Music players, speakers, tablets, phones, keyboards, mice... if it can be charged up with a USB cable, I probably have some sort of variation or that gadget.  lol  But one thing that irks me about having to charge via USB cable is that I need a charger that will not only carry the correct charge, but be able to do it quickly.  Enter the RAVPower 24W Dual 2.4A USB Wall Charger with iSmart Technology.  Our good friends at RAVPower provided me with this great USB wall charger to try out and review!  I know what you guys are thinking, "A USB wall charger...  Really?"  Yeah, a USB wall charger!  These things are a MUST for the techie in your life and instead of getting a low powered one, you need to make sure that you get one that can handle the most demanding of gadgets!  So before I get into my experience with this wall charger, let's talk specs!

Mpow Streambot Oval FM Transmitter Review

Hey there.  How many of you listen to music while driving your car?  I know I do.  So when I'm driving through an area where there is no radio signal, it irks me.  I don't like listening to static on the radio.  It reminds of Silent Hill and freaks me out. lol  You see, I drive through a mountain range when I travel to work and I don't get a radio signal.  What I used to do what have my phone on speaker and have music play from my phone.  The problem that I had with that was that I couldn't really hear since my phone's speaker does not compare to my car's speaker system.  If only there was was a way to connect my phone to the car's speakers.  Wait... there is!!!  The Mpow Streambot Oval FM Transmitter does just that!  Our good friends at Mpow provided me this FM transmitter to try out and review and it is simply one of the best FM transmitters that I have tried.  Before I get into my experience, let's talk specs.

Mpow Dual Rapid USB Port Car Charger with Xsmart Technology Review

Look at the only car charger that you will ever need!

Hey there.  How many of you have a car charger to charge your mobile devices?  I'm pretty sure most of you raised your hands.  How many of you figured that they are all the same and it doesn't matter what kind of charger you have as long as it charges your phone?  Well friends, you are WRONG!  It definitely matters!  I've tried many USB port car chargers and I've seen others use theirs.  What I come away from those experiences is that most of us struggle with the car chargers.  Either the car charger is under powered or your device is unsupported.  The last thing I would have expected is to have multiple car chargers for different devices!  Well, fear not, friends!  Mpow has all of your devices covered!  All you need is the Mpow Dual Rapid USB Port Car Charger with Xsmart Technology!  Our good friends at Mpow provided me with one to test out and review and after having weeks with it in my car, I can definitely say that this is one of the best car chargers that I have ever had!  Before I go into my experience, let's talk specs.
