You know us – we’re all about new headphones hitting the market. Some folks like earbuds, others like over-ear; some folks want wires, and others want to cut the cord.

Here’s some gear for the cold weather outdoors
Often, when it’s cold out, we just want to stay in. But we’ve also been staying in for a year now, so you might want to get out there and get some fresh air. If it’s more than a walk around the block, you might want some gear to, say, go camping.

Now Funding: Smart Fan for Raspberry Pi
As for myself, I’ve never actually built anything with a Raspberry Pi. Frankly, it’s been years since I’ve built any computer (as a point of reference, my last build was in the days of the game City of Heroes).

Review Update: Anker Soundcore Q30
So, if you recall in our review of the Anker Soundcore Q30 last month, I found a lot to like – and one very major dealbreaker. That was the microphone – it just produced muddy, very muted, sound for anyone listening to you. The very good news is that this has finally been corrected.

In review: Aberlite Beard Care products
I know, I know – you made good use of your quarantine – and work from home – time growing an amazing beard. Well, it’s a new year, so why not spruce up that look a bit? No, not shaving it off (as a beard owner, I wouldn’t advocate for removal), but how about some trimming, or even straightening? I spent some time with three different products from Aberlite, and can tell you how they perform.
