I can count on one hand the number of wireless noise-canceling headphone models I would recommend. Unfortunately, there are few budget-price wireless noise-canceling headphones — if they do both ANC and Bluetooth audio well, headphones tend to be expensive. Bowers & Wilkins PX headphones are a great example; in a hands-on CNET review, David Carnoy …

The DJI Inspire was described as a “dreamy ready-to-fly 4K camera drone” by CNET when it debuted in 2015. And truthfully, it’s a gorgeous air machine, designed from the ground up for photography (it can even be controlled by two operators — one pilot and one camera operator). The Inspire has been replaced by the Inspire 2, but the original …

Portable chargers are the modern equivalent of the digital clock. There was a time when clocks were so common that banks gave them away for free when you signed up for a Christmas Club account (yes, I’m old). Likewise, these days you can’t browse a retailer like Amazon without tripping over cheap portable chargers. The Xcentz Portable Charger is a …

While much of the world has moved on from desktop PC, for many people — myself included — laptops will never be enough. Only a tower PC has the power, expandability, and upgradeability to accommodate high-performance gaming, VR and graphics work. If you’re nodding your head in agreement, then you might want to check out Dell’s Alienware Aurora R8. For a …

Remember the Polaroid instant camera? There was a time when Polaroid was ubiquitous. Then the internet, digital cameras, texting and Instagram happened, and no one prints photos anymore. Which means it just might be time for a fun retro digital camera that can do its own instant printing. If that sounds enticing, you can get the HP Sprocket 2-in-1 Instant …

Robot vacuums are evolving so quickly that it’s possible iRobot will eventually usher in the singularity. The Roomba i7 Plus is a great example of  innovation in floor sweeping bots: When it returns home to charge, it can empty itself at the same time, eliminating one of the most unpleasant aspects of using a robot vacuum. But you pay dearly …

I admit that cellular provider Black Wireless is new to me, but it’s an AT&T MVNO (owned by Red Pocket Mobile) that’s been around since about 2011, offering an assortment of both monthly and pay-as-you-go plans. If you’re looking to save on wireless service, you might be interested in its “Unlimited Everything” plan, which features unlimited text, talk and 4G …

It’s not too unusual to see great gift card promotions during Black Friday and other holidays — buy a game console or a stereo or a phone, and get a retailer gift card for free. As long as you shop at that store more than once a decade, it’s always a great deal because it’s like free money; just use …

If you don’t already own a labeler, let me school you: They’re crazy useful. You can use it to label boxes, bins, files and a thousand other things. They can help you organize your kitchen, closets, garage and study.  And while you spend anywhere from $25 to $200 on a label printer, right now you can get the Brother P-Touch …

Samsung’s limited edition, Stormtrooper-themed robot vacuum has apparently come and gone, too beautiful to live in this harsh world. But while it’s mostly unavailable (or, since it’s going as high as $1,500 with some third-party Amazon sellers, priced beyond the reach of a sane person), you can currently get the POWERbot Star Wars Limited Edition Stormtrooper Robotic Vacuum Cleaner for …
