It’s hard to believe that I started The Gadgeteer two decades ago back in August of 1997. There are not very many blogs that can claim to be 20 years old and I’m proud of that fact and want to celebrate with a giveaway that includes gear from Audio Engine, Tom Bihn, Waterfield Design, Saddleback Leather Company and more!
Please click through to read the details on the prizes and to submit your entries for a chance to win one of our Gadgeteer 20th birthday giveaway prize packs!
Prizes:
There are 3 price packs, so there will be three winners. Details for each prize pack are listed below:
1st Prize Pack
Audioengine B2 wireless speakers
I reviewed the Audioengine B2 wireless speaker and still use it. In my review, I said:
I hadn’t realized how mediocre the music sounded until I switched to the B2. Now I find that my music sounds so much better. Through this speaker music is full and rich with an excellent bass that isn’t too thumpy, but still easily fills a room.
This is a very nice bookshelf sized speaker that features Bluetooth and aptX.
Price: $225.00
