Editor’s Note: As a collective, the Gear Patrol staff is a wealth of knowledge about products — everyone is an expert in his or her own right. Of course, every story we publish is a testament to that. In our personal lives, we pursue our product passion too. This series is our way of showcasing and sharing our insights on products we inpidually endorse and love and own. Our hope is that you enjoy it all — and perhaps discover something new as you meet our staff over the next few weeks.
I’m the guy who controls the music in the office — yes, I have real power. I set the mood, quite literally, so a little bit of me is in everything (good) we create. If one of my colleagues doesn’t like the tunes, I can change it for a price. A fresh sugar donut or a coffee (medium, hot, light and sweet) goes a long way.
When not in the office, life imitates art, and whatever I’m testing follows me home. Depending on the week, it’s either a new pair of headphones, smart speaker or smartphone. It’s great fun, don’t get me wrong, but it means there’s a lot of ebb and flow in my life. When consistency is this rare, the gadgets that I do keep around have real staying power.

One of life’s simple pleases is being able to charge multiple devices while only using one wall outlet. And this little beauty enables me to do just that. I can charge my iPhone, AirPods, Nintendo Switch and Sony camera all in one corner.
