We-Vibe Sync Review: An Adjustable Couples Gadget

So, where should we begin? This certainly isn’t the first couple’s toy that I’ve reviewed, but the We-Vibe Sync is certainly one that we’ve always wanted to test out.

Like many people, I try to recycle and be somewhat cognizant of the trash I generate from just existing in the modern world. I also like to keep my wallet as compact as possible. Surprisingly, these two goals collided nicely when Reborn Rubber offered us the chance to review their wallets made from upcycled wetsuits!


Using Zoom’s H6 As an Audio Interface for Podcasting

Let me just begin by saying this: Without the Zoom H6, my podcast experience has been less than mediocre. I’ve recorded using a USB Mic for the better part of year to record my show, but Zoom’s H6 has been a delight to use, and going forward it’s the only way I’ll record my show.



Netgear’s Orbi Voice Is the Quintessential Method to Smarter, Faster Wifi

Prior to using Netgear’s Orbi Voice, I suffered many excruciating days using Verizon FiOS terrible home router. It cost me a pretty penny but offered up absolutely NO perks, and truth be told, my internet felt SLOWER using its Gigabit internet. This isn’t the case since I’ve got Netgear’s new Mesh WiFi System. So let’s dive in.


The Vari Power Hub Puts Power within Reach

In my review of the awesome Vari ProPlus 30 Electric sit-stand converter, I noted the company includes one of their Power Hubs with the purchase. (Read my review.) It gives you three AC outlets and two USB ports. I also noted that the Vari Power Hub, which is also available as a standalone product for $50, deserves its own review. Here’s why.

Thankfully, the Vari ProPlus 36 Electric arrived for review. It once again lets me work both seated and standing. It came fully assembled and ready to go.

Mobile World Congress didn’t disappoint this year; there were so many new smartphones shown, and that’s where the LG G8 ThinQ made its debut.

The Surprisingly Inexpensive TaoTronics Wireless Hybrid Headphones with ANC

I’ve impressed with the way wireless headphones with active noise cancellation have evolved. Many now offer amazing sound, great battery life, and effective ANC. And many cost $300 or more. Not the TaoTronics Hybrid Active Noise cancellation though. They cost under $100. But are they any good? That was my question as I unboxed the review sample.
