The Ingenious Nomad 65W AC Power Adapter Apple Watch Edition Is a Versatile and Capable Charging Solution

By adopting USB-C across its product line, Apple has finally made strides toward universalizing its approach to charging. Sadly, they still fall short, and because the Apple Watch can only be charged wirelessly, that will remain the case. Thankfully, Nomad just introduced its new Nomad 65W AC Power Adapter Apple Watch Edition. Its unique design means one less cable to carry (or forget) the next time you travel.

Beyerdynamic Blue BYRD ANC (2nd-Gen) Review: Neckband Earbuds with Robust Sound but Average ANC

Beyerdynamic’s second-generation Blue BYRD in-ear headset is a bit of an odd bird these days (if you forgive the pun). Their styling is a bit retro, yet they offer several advanced features. The neckband design is the first thing you notice about the Beyerdynamic Blue BYRD ANC headset. Although not nearly as common today as in-ear earbuds, the Blue BYRD’s band offers a few advantages.

Adonit Star Stylus Review: Bring Old-World Class to 2023 Technology

Until a few years ago, I had an extensive fountain pen collection. I loved the design, the history, and the experience that came with fountain pens.

Kovol Sprint 120W and 65W 4-Port PD GaN Desktop Chargers Review: With Them, You’ll Have Power to Spare
