Beats' $115 Rugged Case is going under the radar and deserves to be discussed as an option to protect your iPhone 17 Pro.
I Switched from Google Nest to Amazon Ring—Here’s My Review
For years, I trusted Google Nest for my home security setup. I had the Nest Cam Outdoor (first gen), and more recently, the Nest Doorbell (Wired, 2nd gen). The experience was fine, but not without frustrations. Then Google raised the price of Nest Aware again—jumping from $200 to $260 a year. That’s the second price...
BLUETTI Elite 100 V2 Review: Portable Power You’ll Actually Use
I took the BLUETTI Elite 100 V2 to a kid’s birthday party this past weekend, and it turned out to be one of the most useful things there — right up there with cake. At just 25 pounds and about the size of a small cooler (12.6×8.5×9.8 inches), the Elite 100 V2 was easy to...
Shokz OpenFit 2 Review: Great for Runners, Not for Bass Lovers
Most earbuds try to shove sound straight into your ear canal. The Shokz OpenFit 2 takes a different approach with an open-ear design, which means they sit just outside your ear and let air flow. That might not sound exciting, but if you’ve ever had sweaty ears and ended up with an ear infection from...

Shokz OpenRun Pro 2 Review: Best Bone-Conduction Headphones for Runners
The Shokz OpenRun Pro 2 are the company’s latest flagship bone-conduction headphones built for athletes and outdoor use, which debuted in Canada last year. Instead of going in or over your ears like traditional headphones, they use vibrations on your cheekbones to deliver sound. This keeps your ears open, so you can still hear traffic,...

NOMAD Sport Band Review: Outperforming Apple’s Original Strap
NOMAD sent us a few of their Sport Bands to try, and after weeks of testing, they’ve proven to be better than Apple’s own stock Sport Bands in both comfort and style. Design & Build These are made from compression-molded FKM fluoroelastomer rubber, the same kind of high-performance material used in diving gear and other...

Kindle Colorsoft Review: Is the Colour Worth It?
Amazon recently let us try out their newest Kindle Colorsoft, which just launched in Canada. I got the Signature Edition model, which comes with 32GB of storage and a few nice extras like wireless charging and an auto-adjusting front light. Setting up the device was super easy. As soon as I opened the Kindle app...
Eero 7 Review: Faster Wi-Fi 7, Still Easiest to Set Up
The Eero 7 was announced in February 2025 and launched in Canada on March 26. I recently tried out a 3-pack of the Eero 7 (thanks Amazon Canada), swapping it for my old Eero 6+ setup, which included an extra unit in the garage. Now, I’m using three Eero 7s plus the Eero Outdoor 7...
