Sound BlasterAxx blows away portable speaker rivals

There’s a vast number of portable speakers on the market right now, ranging from ultra cheap and flimsy Chinese products at $15, to expensive branded models from companies like Bose at $266 and more. Until now, though, these portable speakers have been fairly ho-hum. Sure, the best offer decent sound and good battery life, but in general it’s been a case of a speaker is a speaker is a speaker. Until now.

Ozeri Zenith Professional Digital Kitchen Scale is thin and precise

There are many of you out there who have likely taken up cooking as a hobby. If so, you’ve probably started getting into the “science” of it, and know that with some recipes, you must have exacting measurements, or things could turn out all wrong. It is a really terrible thing to throw away entire dish (or have to eat the shameful dish you made incorrectly), which is why it’s nice to have a kitchen scale on hand.

Cookoo watch was designed with simplicity in mind

We have a bit of a nervous habit of checking our phones. Every few minutes it seems that we grab at our pockets to tell the time, see if we’ve gotten an email, or received a text and didn’t know it. If you’re in a more professional setting, it’s not exactly a good thing to have your phone out all the time.

Kevlar Survival Cord could save you in a pinch

Being stuck out in the wild would be a terrifying thing for most of us. The thought of having to scrounge for food, water, and shelter would be quite a daunting task. Sometimes the things we take for granted are suddenly needed, and if you’re stuck unprepared, you could be in a rather tough situation pretty quick.

Aero Seat Cooling Cushion is like the cool side of the pillow for your computer chair

If you have been cursed with a humid summer and a building with a broken air conditioning system, you know how painful it can be to sit in an office chair for several hours at a time. If you get to be uncomfortable because you’re too warm, you can start to be unpleasant to your coworkers, which is not a good thing. The best thing to do is to keep cool, but you can’t exactly plug in a fan.

Self Adjusting Reading Glasses let you control your vision with a twist

The older you get, the harder it is to see clearly. For instance many older people can’t see that politicians tend to enjoy lining their own pockets at every opportunity. As you get older you also fail to see how odd it is to fear flying, since it’s clearly the safest form of transport ever made. Physical vision is also a problem, because your eyes refuse to switch focus like they used to, and you’re left having to buy sixteen pairs…

Frank Buchwald makes room lamps, like Ferrari make golf carts

If we had the money, the mansion, the courage and the gaudy style, we’d probably think about buying this Frank Buchwald Type 12 floor lamp. Sure it’s crudely ostentatious, and probably uses far too much precious electricity for the good of the planet, but it’s not really a lamp is it? More a work of art; a sculpture as homage to light. The ironic thing is, if you’re rich enough to drop $10,000 on a lamp, you’re probably too busy to…

Concrete Coaster puts all other coasters to shame

Using a coaster prevents those horrific rings from showing up on your table, and can sometimes be interesting conversation pieces. While they are quite useful, they can also be rather annoying. Flimsy coasters will stick to the bottom of your drink, and spill water droplets when you try and peel it off.

Stowaway iPhone Wallet Case keeps your cards a secret

Owning an iPhone case with a clip for money or credit cards is a great way to have things all in one place and at the ready. However, it’s not very good at keeping the fact that all of these valuables are are in one place. Should any unsavory characters feel like trying to take your belongings, you would quickly find yourself without any way of calling for help, or money for a ride home.
