I’ve Always Hated Earbuds. The EARIN M-2 Changed My Mind

Posted by

The EARIN M-2 earbuds are as close as I’ve gotten to the fabled Apple Airpod experience on Android. No, I’m not talking about the obvious knockoffs you can find for $50 that give you all of the awkward Airpod looks and none of the convenience; I’m talking about an alternative approach to earbuds that makes sense, sounds great, and almost totally disappears into the ear. Of course, you pay a pretty penny for a package like that — but seeing as how the EARIN M-2s have held their price for over half a year now, it seems I’m not the only one who feels they’re worth it.

Huawei Watch GT Review: Two-Week Battery Life (!)

Posted by

The worst thing about smartwatches: you need to charge them almost every night. For some, the answer to that frustration is the hybrid smartwatch, which can last months between top-ups but sacrifices most smart features to get there. Walking the line between the two categories is the Huawei Watch GT: a smart wearable with a big beautiful display that lasts about two weeks between charges. That’s an impressive feat, and it’s a claim I’ve been eager to test since the device was announced. But it turns out that the Huawei Watch GT is less a full smartwatch than a fitness band in disguise. See what I mean in the Huawei Watch GT Review!... Read More | Share it now!

Retro Review: My First Mobile Phone!

Posted by

2019 marks the 20-year birthday of the Samsung SCH-3500, a sleek Sprint cellphone notable for its petite form factor and amazing (for 1999) voice-dialing feature. The SCH-3500 was also MrMobile’s first … mobile. So when a bunch of my most excellent tech-YouTube brethren told me they were getting ready to run videos about their first cellphones, I eBayed me a ‘3500 and jumped on that rocket faster than that Pizza Hut delivery hit the ISS in 2001. That joke go over your head? The video makes it clear, so jump on in to the latest Retro Review and take a trip back in time – in MrMobile’s First Cellphone Retro Review! ...

Surface Go LTE Review: A Looker With A Heart Of Old

Posted by

If you’re on the road more than you’re home, you have to be tempted by a PC as portable as the Surface Go. Add built-in 4G to the equation so you can stay connected anywhere, and the deal only gets sweeter. But performance and pricing that are less competitive make this ultra-portable PC a less-compelling proposition. This is the Surface Go LTE review.... Read More | Share it now!

I Drove 900 Miles In A Hydrogen Car: Hyundai NEXO Review

Posted by

In some alternate reality, it’s not electric cars replacing gas-guzzlers on the nation’s highways, but hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. I recently got a glimpse of that alternate timeline, spending five days behind the wheel of Hyundai’s newest hydrogen car, the NEXO. My co-pilot: Joshua Vergara of JVTechTea. My mission? A 900-mile road trip from San Diego to Sacramento using nothing but hydrogen … and leaving nothing but water behind. Spoiler alert: we accomplished our mission, but not exactly the way we’d planned. Join Joshua Vergara and MrMobile for the Hyundai NEXO Review!... Read More | Share it now!

Montblanc Summit 2 Review: This $995 Smartwatch Misses A Few Ticks

Posted by

The Montblanc Summit 2 is my favorite smartwatch hardware of 2018. With a meaty casing forged from stainless steel or titanium, a beautiful display overlaid with sapphire and the smoothest rotating crown on Wear OS, it’s a joy to use. It’s also one of the first smartwatches running on Qualcomm’s new platform for wearables, the Snapdragon 3100. Most impressive of all: its Timeshifter app helped me avoid jetlag on a trip halfway around the world!... Read More | Share it now!
