 Jaybird’s X2 Bluetooth Wireless earbuds have been a top choice for fitness enthusiasts, and for good reason. No wires connecting to your mobile device, excellent fit, sweat-proof design, decent battery life and high quality sound. The new Jaybird Freedom earbuds take the X2’s best features to the next level, with a new micro size metal design for improved fit and sound, and a clip-on external battery for 8-hours of use between charges.

 While I welcome the ability to check on my child remotely, first and foremost, what’s desired is an easy-to-setup and reliable way to see him from within the home. And the Motorola MBP662CONNECT baby monitor does that, combining the best of both worlds through both 2.4GHz and Wi-Fi connectivity. 

 It’s hard to believe, but Microsoft’s Surface Pro tablet is in its fourth generation. I spent a week test driving the Surface Pro 4 and despite being an iPad guy, this is the tablet I’d buy if I wanted a 2-in-1 device to replace my laptop.

 No Canadian is immune to the dangers of a good power outage and many of us aren’t really prepared for everything that you need to protect when it happens. Sure you’ve probably got candles sitting around but what do you have to keep power to your electronics? Gas generators aren’t an option for everybody but the Goal Zero Yeti can be. It’s compact, has good battery life and can even recharge itself using solar panels. 

 In part five of The Smart Home Series, I take a spin with Securifi’s Almond+ Wireless AC Router and Smart Hub combination. After setting this unit up in my house, I quickly realized the power it has to provide increased Wi-Fi speeds, as well as serve as a home automation hub to manage gadgets like the Peanut Wireless Smart Plug.

   The Activeon CX and the Activeon CX Gold are action cameras with LCD screens, integrated Wi-Fi, and serious power in the video and photo department. Take a look at my review and videos of the Activeon CX and Activeon CX Gold in action.

 I have to say I was pretty excited when I was asked to test out the Dyson V8 Absolute. I have always dreamed of owning a Dyson. A couple of the reasons being that I’ve heard they’re long lasting, durable and great if you own pets. Read on to see what I found out from using the Dyson V8 Absolute for a week.

 Today I review a cool new handheld camera from called the DJI OSMO Zenmuse X3 Handheld 4K Camera with Gimbal System. If you’re into photography and shooting your own videos and would like something for ground based shots that’s as good as you’d get with the highest end drones, click on through and read all about it!

 Platinum Games’ last take on a classic animated series was amazing, as Transformers: Devastation was a ton of fun to play. So it was no surprise when they announced a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game in the same genre of a 3D hack and slash. With a new art style and the classic heroes in a half shell, can Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutants in Manhattan, deliver the same level experience?
