Hardware & Accessory Reviews

This case is designed so you don’t have to remove the writer for any reason other than if you had to send the unit in for repairs the top compartment is made of a stretchable material that will fit a charging cable. Note it will only fit the charging cable and not a charging cable and charger block. For best results I would recommend using a wire tie to tie up your cable. An example of wire ties you could use can be found at the following link.

The Seleste glasses feel similar to regular sunglasses, except that the arms are thicker to hold the electronics, and there is a small camera right between the eyes. There are also two buttons on the right arm, and a touchpad on the right arm near the hinge. Both arms have a wide and thick part near the front, and a significantly narrower part resting above your ears that curves at the end. In addition, there's a speaker built in to the right arm. The glasses come with a protective…

With the release of the Ultra Open Earbuds featuring an unconventional open-ear design that attaches around the ears to let in environmental sounds, vital for situational awareness and spatial orientation for blind users like myself, Bose offers an intriguing alternative to other open-ear buds like Sony's LinkBuds, bone conduction headphones such as…

Hi guys.
I recently purchased the tactile screen protector by speed dots.
Speed dots is a company that makes tactile screen protectors for iphones and Ipads.
There are 3 types of screen protector layouts.
The standard layout which has dots on all the keys of the keyboard as well as standard iphone controls.
The advanced layout which has dots on F and J keys as well as the standard iphone controls.
The phone keypad layout which is used when your using the…

I’ve had the echo Frames third generation from Amazon for a couple weeks now, and I can confidently say they have changed the way I go about my day to day life. When you haven’t yet lived with something, it’s hard to understand living with it. If you were to tell me, well, you have Alexa wherever you are, I wouldn’t really grasp that, as generally speaking I haven’t lived with Alexa in a wearable. As I have now done so, I don’t think before asking Alexa something. It’s become, automatic.…

This is my review of the tribit xfree tune headphones.

I bought these through the harbolt company as he seems to be the only one carying them right now, everyone else was sold out. Not sure if these have been discontinued?

Superior HI-FI Sound

These over ear headphone deliver true stereo HD sound with rock-solid bass and super-crisp treble. The dual 40mm drivers and extended frequency range bring you the best music experience…

You can get this from the harbolt company. If you can get this at other places please feel free to let me know.

I haven’t had much experience with this yet but it’s not as bulky as the silicone one with the small card pocket. I'll provide my experience so far and what I know about it.

It comes with an adhesive patch and a lanyard. The adhesive patch is rectangular shape. Attached to the top of the patch is a plastic ring. This is where you attach the included lanyard. It…

This is my review of the tribit storm blast box bluetooth speaker. This bluetooth speaker goes for $199.00 but I was able to get it on amazon as a prime lightening deal for $155.00.

This is a retro boombox design that I remember as a child. It is very very sturdy. This speaker has the following features: 90W Loud Stereo Sound with XBass, IPX7 Waterproof, LED Light, PowerBank, Bluetooth5.3&TWS, Custom equalizer, High Fidelity Sound, and 30 Hours of Playtime.

In the box you…

Intro

I am not usually one for purchasing Bluetooth speakers. However, one of my goals is to balance out my music.

Before purchasing this speaker, I was quite skeptical. Doing tons of researching, watching YouTube videos, and generally checking out reviews from other websites was making me wonder if purchasing this speaker was a good idea, and whether this $100 speaker was really worth my time. The downside to a speaker or any sort of sound review, is that every…

When I first found out that this was going to be coming out, when it was announced in January, I was super jazzed. I knew I was upgrading to a MacBook Pro 14, and I knew that needed a 100W adapter.
Most 100W adapters are huge. They can be the size of an iPhone and don't fit anywhere without taking up a whole wall outlet to itself.
Not the Anker nano 736. It was released a few days ago and I really, really needed to have one.

Size:
Although it has a 100W…

As I integrate more technology into my daily routine, one of the challenges I face is providing power to all of the equipment. Along with my iPhone and braille display, I frequently carry other things that need to stay charged such as the external microphone used with my hearing aids. This device is essential, maintaining my ability to communicate with companions or the general public in complex settings. Recent unofficial support for connecting some braille displays to iPhones over USB is…

It's midnight. You're listening to a book on your phone to help you go to sleep. You realize that suddenly the character you've been following is now 80 years old and in the process of finally vanquishing her arch enemy that you've never heard of. How long were you asleep? Time to rewind--again. You take the phone off its charger, unlock it, swipe to hopefully land in the Bard app rather than the home screen, explore by touch to rewind (rewind kind of sucks in Bard, as an…

For anybody wanting to be able to hear the world around them while listening to music; podcasts; audiobooks; guided navigation or VoiceOver, my likely recommendation over recent years would be either bone-conduction headphones that leave your ears uncovered or headphones with some form of ‘transparency’ mode that uses built-in microphones to process ambient sounds. This changed last week with the launch of Sony's newest set of fully wireless earbuds, the Sony LinkBuds.

Priced at US$…

In January of 2018, I reviewed the original Orbit Reader 20 From Orbit Research. It was “intended primarily as a braille display for reading braille files and for connecting to external devices. With a much lower price point than other 20-cell displays, the Orbit Reader 20 does not have onboard translation options, Cursor Routing Buttons or many of the other features found in braille devices that cost thousands of dollars more.” Fast…

I bought this on Mercado Livre for R$212. Quite expensive for a bathroom scale, but I was looking for something I could use without sighted help and this Xiaomi model seemed like a good bet. Other smart scales cost the double or even more.

It came faster than I thought it would, well packed. There were no issues on this matter.

I previously reviewedthe Brailliant BI 40X. In that evaluation, I mentioned there was a 20-cell model as well. Unlike when I reviewed the Focus Blue Fifth Generation displays, which are the same display other than the amount of cells, the two models of Brailliants sport some differences. Physical differences aside, the software functions the same. This includes how these…
