Baseus may not be a household name in the US (yet), but they have a slate of devices to make your tech run smoother, from security cameras to docking stations and portable batteries for all sorts of setups. They’ve got you covered at home and on the go!
It’s hard to make headphones or portable speakers interesting. You can tweak the shape of a speaker or add a clever strap for backpack duty. You can dress up a pair of headphones with new colors or textures. But at the end of the day, everyone knows what over-the-ear headphones are, and everyone knows what a small Bluetooth speaker does. The TDM Neo tries something different by combining both, and it just might make you rethink how you use each.
If you have to juggle a schedule for more than one person, or just get a handle on what’s going on in your household, you probably have THE CALENDAR. Whether it’s a Google Calendar on your phone, a whiteboard on your fridge, or a bulletin board with your own personal code system, you have something in place to track it all. Cozyla has a better way with their new Calendar+Max concept.
TCL has an impressively deep portfolio of products, but the area where they’re head and shoulders above the rest is in their screen technology. From phones to televisions, you know you’re getting a display like no other if it comes from TCL. But they’ve really outdone themselves with the new TCL X11L SQD Mini-LED television lineup, which promises colors and audio like never before!
Headphones and earbuds are really impressive if you stop and consider just how much complex circuitry is crammed into tiny spaces. Doubly so when you think about how much harder we tend to be on headphones; they have to hang tight through commutes, weather, and sweaty, sweaty workout sessions. Still, every year the sound quality gets better, the battery life gets longer, and the earbuds get tougher. Just look at what JBL has on deck for 2026!
No one loves lighting your home like Govee does! Whether it’s lights as art, as an accent, or to brighten up the whole room, they have a slate of new devices to distract you from how very, very dark it is in winter.
Drunk driving is not a joke. It’s dangerous, and it’s one of those things where a single bad call can ruin your life or someone else’s in seconds. The problem is that unless you’ve got an interlock installed or you’re carrying a breath tester around like a nervous raccoon, it’s surprisingly easy to misjudge when you’ve crossed the line from “probably fine” to impaired. That’s where trinamiX and AUMOVIO come in, with a new non-invasive touch-based solution designed to live right inside your car and check your BAC before you ever turn the key.
There are many ways to secure your home yourself. Every company with a camera and an app can sell you a home security system. This is not where GEO-SWARM went with their home security plan. They, apparently, were deeply inspired by the movie Home Alone.
Hip injuries are serious for anyone, but they’re especially dangerous for older adults. Recovery is often slow, complications are common, and a single fall can permanently change someone’s independence. We’ve seen everything from emergency pendants to AI-powered cameras pitched as solutions, but Briggs Health Solutions has taken a very different approach with the Smart Hip Guardian.
One of the hardest things for loved ones as we get older is the in-between times. It’s easier when you know for sure that someone can’t live alone anymore, but when they’re starting to slow down but still want to be independent, it’s a lot tougher to know if you’re making the right decisions. The Cairns Health Luna wants to replace traditional “alert buttons” with a more hands-on AI solution that lets elderly loved ones remain more safely independent!
I’ve written a lot of reviews for Gear Diary, and this is the first time I’ve been genuinely stumped about how to approach a wearable product. I can confirm the WAVwatch 2.0 works, but does it WORK? If you’re confused, read on, so we can be confused together.
Brace yourself, Black Friday is coming. It’s not all doorbusters and 3 am sales, as thankfully Xfinity Mobile deals have you covered with major savings on iPhones, Android Phones, and Apple Watches that won’t require you to brave the crowds — or even put on pants.
I’m a firm believer that if someone finds a fitness routine that works for them, that’s what matters. I like lifting heavy items; I have friends who prefer to run marathons, but there’s more than one way to get healthy. However, I do draw the line at taking advantage of people who are struggling to get healthy, and when we got this pitch for AlterMe, my jaw dropped.
I’m an unabashed Roku fanboy, and have been for many years. Roku’s interface and design have just continued to improve with each iteration. They know that when you sit down to watch TV, you want to be able to zero in on your options in the increasingly expansive streaming channels. The latest refresh of Roku’s platform incorporates AI, sports, and more to make it an even better experience!
When we first saw the Lenovo Self-Charging Bluetooth Keyboard at CES 2025, I was super excited. It’s a little weird to get excited about what is, in effect, a regular old keyboard, but Lenovo made several tweaks that turned a simple keyboard into a truly pleasant experience. Sometimes it’s the game-changers that catch your attention, and sometimes it’s the little things that make your life that much easier. This keyboard is definitely the latter, but it’s still a home run for the category!
Roku has nailed the modern TV experience. Streaming bundles have become so tangled they feel like cable all over again, but Roku’s clean interface and simple search keep it manageable. Now, Roku is taking things a step further with Philips, and the result makes the hardware as exciting as the software: the Philips Roku TV Featuring Ambilight. Ambilight is Philips’ exclusive lighting technology that extends the action on screen onto the wall behind your TV.
If you’ve been waiting for a projector that can make your living room feel like a private cinema, Valerion thinks it has the answer. Unveiled at IFA 2025, the new VisionMaster Max isn’t just another big-screen machine—it’s a powerhouse built to deliver sharper colors, deeper blacks, and enough brightness to cut through almost any viewing environment. With cutting-edge AI, seamless smart home integration, and even Dolby Atmos options for those who want the full theater effect, the VisionMaster Max is setting out to redefine what a premium projector can be. Here’s why it’s generating so much buzz.
At some point, we may regret outsourcing so many household chores to robots. Until then, however, it’s exciting to see how they’re evolving from proof of concept to rapidly improving “how did we live without this” devices! MAMMOTION has been leading the way with their lawnmowers, and their latest devices out of IFA 2025 show that if you’ve been on the fence about robotic landscapers, now is the time to jump in.
It’s hard to stand out in a crowded smartphone space, but TCL has really leaned into its screen expertise and worked hard at refining the NXTPAPER experience with each generation. NXTPAPER offers a gentler screen experience where users can go from full ink display to color ink to full color, depending on their desires. The newest iteration, the TCL NXTPAPER 60 Ultra, is the most advanced they’ve made their versatile screens, and they’re adding AI and other productive features to go with it!
If you spend any time reading up on fitness watches, you probably know the name Suunto. They’re a Finnish company that lives and breathes fitness and outdoor exploration; they started in 1936 making compasses, and now they make everything from watches to headphones and heart rate sensors. We were excited to get the chance to test out their Suunto Run watch, and it’s clear this was made by a company that loves fitness!
Wearable devices are battling for every inch of space on our bodies these days. Rings, watches, armbands—if it can track your health, someone wants to strap it on you. But once you pick your preferred accessory, there’s the inevitable firehose of data streaming from its companion app. Amazfit recently sent us its new Balance 2 smartwatch and Helio Strap to test, and after spending time with both, I can confidently say: whichever you choose, you’re likely to come away impressed.
