Buying Guide

I’ve spent the last three months clipping, screwing, and snapping macro lenses onto every phone in our test bench, from an iPhone 15 Pro to a Galaxy S24 Ultra, and the difference a good add-on lens makes is genuinely shocking. Our team has been chasing tiny things – dew drops, bee wings, circuit boards, jewelry […]

After 30 days of testing phone mounts across EZGO, Club Car, and Yamaha carts on bumpy cart paths, I can tell you the best phone mounts for golf carts in all share one thing: they refuse to drop your phone on the third hole. Our team has mounted iPhones, Galaxy Ultras, and Pixel XLs to

I have spent more late-night hours than I care to admit propping my phone on a pillow, a water bottle, and once a very questionable stack of hardcover books. After three months of testing phone holders in my own bed, on three different headboards, and with two separate chronic-pain readers who needed a truly horizontal

I’ve dropped my Galaxy S25 Ultra twice in the last three months, and both times my stomach dropped with it. Modern Samsung camera modules stick out like small portholes, and a single scratch on that protruding lens glass can ruin every photo you take from that day forward. After seeing three friends pay for official

The best Bluetooth trackers for Android users are the Moto Tag for the broadest Find Hub experience, the Samsung Galaxy SmartTag2 for Galaxy owners, and the Chipolo CARD for wallets. Our team compared eight trackers across network coverage, replaceable or rechargeable batteries, speaker volume, water resistance, UWB precision finding, and daily setup. Android tracking is

After spending 90 days plugging space heaters, aquarium gear, and a notoriously thirsty gaming PC into 10 different smart plugs with energy monitoring, I can tell you which ones deliver real kWh accuracy and which ones only count run-time hours. The TP-Link Kasa KP115 came out on top across our testing for the best smart

If you have ever wrapped up a great phone interview only to play it back and hear a hollow, echoey mess, you already know why built-in phone mics fail. Wind, room echo, and background chatter wreck your audio before you even start editing. After spending the last three months testing clip-on lavs, wireless kits, and

I spent the last 60 days testing 8 of the most popular wireless lavalier microphones for phones across my iPhone 16, an iPhone 14 on Lightning, a Pixel 9, and a Galaxy S25. I recorded vlogs on busy streets, two-person interviews at a coffee shop, a backyard podcast, and a 90-minute live stream to find

Last spring I spent three weeks shooting a hiking vlog on my Pixel 8 Pro and the audio came back sounding like I was recording inside a wind tunnel. The built-in mics on modern Android phones are great for a quick voice memo, but the moment you take them outdoors, into a busy cafe, or

If you’ve ever tried to record a podcast, vlog, or interview on your iPhone, you already know the truth: the built-in microphone is fine for a voice memo and not much else. Wind noise, room echo, and that tinny “phone-call” sound creep into every clip, no matter how good your camera app is. After spending
