Last week OMGChad & I did our favorites gadgets of 2015. This week we cover the worst, the wildest and the weird gadgets we talked about during 2015. Let's start with the worst piece of garbage of the entire year.....Zoomies! Here's the original report. 

 

I never had a pair to try, so when I saw them on sale I bought a pair of Zoomies to try out. First some hype about them from the web: “Great for bird watching, sporting events, concerts & more. Also great for reading, sewing, crafts, watching TV & more. Zoom 300 ~ 400%. The Zoomies are fairly straightforward to use; just put them on as you would a pair of sunglasses, and adjust the focus with the knobs positioned near the hinge of each temple.  And now back to me. Wow, these are awful. On my pair, the focus knob on one side turns, but hardly moves on the other side, so they’re a pair to adjust. Optical quality is poor. And as you’ll see in the video, the Zoomies reviews on Amazon are terrible. In case you still want to try them, or buy a pair for your kids – who might think they’re cool (for about 30 minutes). Some come with a case, but I did not get any accessories with mine. They wouldn't have helped the quality anyway.
