When I gave up my Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5 for the S25 Ultra, I inherently sacrificed my ability to use a Wacom stylus on a larger display. While the S25 Ultra still has pen support, the smaller screen size was an adjustment for me. I had gotten very used to
Link to YouTube video review at the end of this post! I had heard of the brand SoundPeats but hadn't used any of their products until after I tried the Creative Aurvana Ace Mimi, which are Bluetooth earphones that have xMEMS drivers in them. I bought them because
I bought a Pixel 9 Pro XL 2 weeks before the unveiling of the new line of Pixel 10 phones, not because I was unaware of the Google event, but because I had seen the leaked photos and specs and decided that now was probably a good time for me
See link to YT review at the end of this post! These new over-the-ear headphones from Nothing have been covered well by a variety of technology and audio outlets. What else is there possibly to say about them that probably hasn't already been said in multiple languages and
Hey you! Check out the YouTube review where I compare them to the CMF Buds 2 - link at the bottom of this post! There are officially too many choices in the Bluetooth earbud/headphone space. There are options at every price point, and more often than not, the options
Scroll down for the link to the YouTube review! The 12.4" Galaxy Tab is a relatively new thing for me, at least in recent years. I have generally preferred the smallest 11" Tab because my primary use case was taking notes and using a few apps sporadically.
I have been an Oura ring wearer since the 2nd generation. For that ring, I got in early enough that when Oura started charging a subscription fee, I was grandfathered in and did not have to pay. I kept using that ring until its battery life was so terrible that
I have always wanted an Apple Magic keyboard style case for my Ultra. Ever since I saw the Lenovo Extreme Tab, with its amazing looking keyboard case that in some ways looked even better than Apple's offering, I have wondered why no one made one for the Ultra.
See the accompanying YouTube link at the bottom of this post! The style of earbud that looks much like ear jewelry seems to be very popular lately. I'm going to call these clipbuds to distinguish them from the hook-style and normal in-ear styles of buds that are also
1More S20 https://a.co/d/6bpa0dT The S20 are a comfortable pair of clip-on style open-air earbuds. They come in black, blue, and purple. I bought them in blue for a change from the black sea of boring earbuds available from every other audio brand. The case is rounded

TL;DR I bought these earbuds to try out the recent software update that added hearing enhancements that interested me as a person with hearing loss in one ear. Therefore, this will not be a long comprehensive review as the buds have been reviewed extensively online already. I will break
Recently, I acquired and reviewed the AirPods Pro 2 as hearing aids. Of course, I also considered them as listening devices for music and video, and they do quite well in that regard. However, for many weeks, the earbuds I really wanted to try were the latest iteration of the
I have hearing loss in my left ear from a viral infection. I sometimes wear a in-canal hearing aid in my left ear to help me with understanding speech and to hear general life in (better) stereo. When listening to audio with headphones, I use Equalizer APO on Windows and
As I'm tiptoeing into the crocheted goods business (My crochet website is www.jpwcrochets.com and my Etsy store is www.jpwcrochets.etsy.com), I spend a lot of time crocheting. This leaves my hands occupied but my mind free to roam. I don't really watch
The Typecase Flexbook Touch is different in almost every way from the keyboard case I recently reviewed for the Pixel Tablet. Is it a good buy? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DJ7DW4JZ I have had my 12.9” M1 iPad Pro for well over 2 years. It does not get

Which perform the best? In this
Suddenly, the pen stopped producing markings on the screen. Maybe it needs to be charged, I think. I plug it in, and the little red light comes on, indicating it’s charging. I wait a while and unplug it to use it again. I pick up my tablet and being
There are so many unknown brands of audio gear available on Amazon. How can anyone know what's good and what's trash? And how do you assess the value of items that are so inexpensive that if they work at all, perhaps that's almost enough
Scroll down for the video review with microphone samples! The Earfun Air Life Bluetooth (BT) headset is a very inexpensive pair of earbuds ($30-50 on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0DBQ8DL27 or on Earfun's website https://www.myearfun.com/headphones/earfun-air-life-true-wireless-earbuds-black).

🔖 The tech world seems to be in love with mechanical keyboards, but until very recently, I’d never even tried one. Is the rabbit hole as deep as they claim? Scroll to the end for the video version! Before this experiment, I already had a keyboard problem. That is, I
