PollyFab Aero Pro and Airpuff One 3D-Printed Shoes Review: Futuristic Footwear That Misses a Few Steps

3D-printed products are all over the place, but 3D-printed shoes still feel a little futuristic to me. PollyFab sent over two styles for me to try: the Aero Pro and the Airpuff One. After wearing both pairs around the house, on hardwood floors, on stairs, and even on a treadmill, it became clear that these 3D-printed shoes are definitely unique. But they also come with some real limitations.


AT&T Unlimited Day Pass Gives Eligible iPads Cellular Data for $3 a Day

AT&T Unlimited Day Pass is a new 24-hour cellular data option for eligible Wi-Fi + Cellular iPads, including models owned by Verizon and T-Mobile customers, that gives you unlimited data for $3 per day without a contract, subscription, or credit check. It’s aimed at the many people who bought a cellular-capable iPad but never attached it to a monthly plan, either because they didn’t need constant connectivity or because one more recurring bill felt like a small act of financial nonsense. The first day pass is complimentary, with a limit of one iPad per customer.

Whether you are a seasoned pitmaster or a weekend warrior trying not to turn your ribeye into a hockey puck, the MeatStick V Duo is here to save your BBQ reputation. This dual-probe system is built for the multitasker, allowing you to monitor two different proteins, like a slow-smoked brisket and a quick-searing steak, at the exact same time. People often make the mistake of asking how long to cook meat when the secret is the cooking temperature. The MeatStick V Duo will master those temps for a perfect cook every time.


HOTLIGH Worklight Review: A Compact Rechargeable Light with More Tricks Than Expected

Some work lights are all business, and some have just enough gadget appeal to make you want to use them all the time. The HOTLIGH Worklight definitely lands in the second group. It looks a little like a tiny folding lightsaber, but it’s actually a rechargeable multi-mode task light with a light bar, a spotlight, UV lighting, a magnetic body, and a built-in hook. After a quick hands-on test, this is the kind of light that feels just as useful for a toolbox as it does for desk work, wiring projects, or poking around under the hood of a car.



Llano F-17 Card Reader Review: A Pocket-size Card Reader and Storage Case for Travel

If you travel with an action camera, drone, or any other gadget that uses SD and microSD cards, it’s easy to end up with loose memory cards floating around in your gear bag. The Llano F-17 Card Reader aims to fix the issue that by combining a USB-C card reader with a tiny storage case that slips into a pocket. It can read full-size SD and microSD cards, and it also has dedicated spots inside to stash them when they aren’t in use. Let’s take a closer look.

Keychron B11 Pro Folding Travel Keyboard Review: A Travel Keyboard That is Actually Great to Type On!

The Keychron B11 Pro folding travel keyboard is one of those gadgets that sounds more practical than exciting. That is, until you need to respond to a long email on a tablet, take notes on the go, or pack light for a trip. Then it starts making a whole lot of sense. What makes this one interesting is that it doesn’t just fold for travel. It also opens into a genuinely roomy keyboard with a shape that feels far less cramped than most portable options. I’m a bit of a keyboard snob, so let’s check it out and see what…


DEERC 1205 BRUSHLESS RC Car Review: Easy and Fun, Even for Newbies

It’s been a while since I’ve played with an RC car, so opening up the DEERC 1205 BRUSHLESS RC Car felt like jumping into a hobby from the beginner side of the learning curve. The good news is that this brushless RC truck turned out to be a lot of fun right away. It’s quick, looks great, includes some nice extras, and was easier to get running than expected. It also has one design choice that’s more annoying than it should be. Let’s open the box, check out the features, and see how it does on a gravel driveway.


Crossrope Splash Jump Rope Mat Review: The Workout Surface I Didn’t Know I Needed

I’ve reviewed a lot of fitness devices over the years, but the Crossrope Jump Rope set is one I use at least weekly. They’re well built and amazing for high-intensity interval workouts and other short cardio bursts. The good folks at Crossrope know that working out is more comfortable if you’ve got the right surface under your feet, and so to go along with all the jumping, they gave us the chance to review their Splash Jump Rope Mat!


Cambridge Audio Evo 300 Puts Serious Streaming Hi-Fi in One Polished Box

Cambridge Audio is giving its Evo lineup a bigger, more serious flagship with the Cambridge Audio Evo 300, a streaming amplifier built for listeners who want high-end stereo sound without having to assemble a stack of separate components. Arriving in June 2026, the Evo 300 combines 300W per channel, built-in streaming, vinyl support, HDMI eARC for TV audio, Bluetooth, multi-room playback, and a large 7.8″ color display in one polished chassis. It’s still a premium piece of gear at $3,999, but the promise is refreshingly simple: add speakers and start listening, assuming your speakers deserve the assignment.

If you like the idea of an outdoor security camera but don’t want to pay ongoing fees just to use it, the Baseus S2 4K Security Camera is an especially interesting option. It’s a wireless outdoor camera with local storage support, app access, motion events, person and animal detection, and one feature that immediately stands out: a built-in solar panel on top that rotates to follow sunlight for better charging.


3 New Wallets That Make My Current Wallet Jealous!

If your current wallet is starting to feel a little boring, these three wallets might give it a serious case of envy. Two are Kickstarter projects, and one is from an established brand. One mixes a reusable notebook with EDC essentials, one is all about slim-and-clean card carrying, and one is designed to help you grab the right card super fast. They’re all quirky, clever, and just different enough to make you seriously think it’s time to upgrade. Let’s check them out.


Motorola Edge 2026 Puts Durability, Cameras, and Faster Charging into a Smaller Midrange Phone

The motorola edge 2026 is arriving as Motorola’s newest midrange phone for North America, and its pitch is less about chasing flagship excess than making the everyday stuff feel less fragile. It has a compact 6.3″ display, a triple 50-megapixel camera system, faster wired and wireless charging, and a tougher build than many phones in its price range. At $599.99 unlocked, it’s aimed at people who want a phone that can handle travel, kids, commutes, spills, and too-full tote bags without demanding full flagship money or treating durability as an optional personality trait when it arrives in June.


KLH Model Four Brings Big-Speaker Thinking to Rooms That Don’t Have Big-Speaker Space

KLH Audio’s new KLH Model Four loudspeaker is meant for the person who wants serious stereo sound but doesn’t have a room that exists solely to flatter speakers. Debuting at High End Vienna 2026, the Model Four is a slim, three-way acoustic suspension speaker that slots between the Model Three and Model Five in KLH’s Model Collection. At $999.99 each, or $1,999.98 per pair, it aims to bring a more placement-friendly version of the company’s sealed-box sound into apartments, condos, living rooms, and other spaces where audio gear has to behave around furniture, pets, and life.


2026 Mitsubishi Outlander Review: The Yamaha Sound System Steals the Show, but the SUV Hits Some Sour Notes

As the old joke goes, a man walks into a Yamaha store and says, “I need a piano and a boat motor.” The salesman says, “No problem.” The customer then says, “Really? Well, I also need a sound system for my brand new Mitsubishi Outlander,” and the salesman says, “You are NOT going to believe this…” As it turns out, the customer in that story was the product manager for the 2026 Mitsubishi Outlander, and Yamaha designed its first-ever in-car audio system. Then they loaned me a car to test it out. I drove the SUV for one week.


MOFT Dynamic Folio iPad Case Review: A Clever Origami-style Case That Might Become Your New Favorite

The MOFT Dynamic Folio iPad Case is one of those accessories that looks simple at first glance, but gets more interesting the more you use it.

Add in the optional modular Apple Pencil holder, and you end up with a case that’s trying to do a lot more than basic front-and-back protection.


VollyC EZYPAK Vacuum Travel Bags Review: A Travel Hack That Actually Saves Space

If you’ve ever stared at a suitcase and wondered how your clothes multiplied overnight, vacuum travel bags can feel like a pretty tempting solution. For an epic 14-day trip to Ireland, I tested the VollyC EZYPAK system to see whether these vacuum travel bags really make packing easier, more compact, and more organized. After trying them at home and then using them throughout a two-week trip with frequent hotel changes, I’ll let you know what I think.


CRKD ATOM Keychain Gaming Controller Review: A Tiny but Functional Controller for Fun and Travel

If you like mobile gaming but don’t want to carry a full-size controller everywhere, a keychain gaming controller like the CRKD ATOM is a fun idea. It’s tiny, Bluetooth-enabled, and small enough to slip into a pocket or bag when you’re traveling or just heading out to an appointment. I took a look at what comes in the box, how the controller is laid out, how pairing works with an iPhone, and whether this miniature controller is actually usable in a real game.
