How I test
Used daily. Then scored.
I review the tech I actually work with. Every product goes into my real setup and stays there through normal workdays before I write a word about it.
What I test with.
Every review is tested against
- 14-inch MacBook Pro M5
- Gawfolk 28" 3:2 monitor
- ASUS monitor, mounted vertically
- Magic Keyboard and Magic Mouse
- AirPods Pro 3 and AirPods Max
How a review happens
- 1
It becomes my daily gear
The product replaces what I normally use, on real workdays, for as long as it takes to form an opinion.
- 2
I test what matters on calls
How I sound to other people, comfort after hours of wear, battery across a workday, and how it works with a Mac.
- 3
Each test gets a score
The scores show where it wins and where it falls short. The overall score is my judgment, not an average.
- 4
I publish, and say how I got it
Every review states whether I bought it or a brand sent it. Brands never see it first.
What a score looks like
From my AirPods Pro 3 review. Great on calls and comfort, pulled down by value after a hiss problem cost me two replacement pairs.
