The Plantronics RIG 800HD headset is an impressive headset that is not only useful for gaming applications, it is just as useful for more serious needs such as web conferencing, and podcasting. This adds to the value that this headset provides.

Features:
The features of the headset are excellent. This wireless headset provides for up to 24 hours of wireless listening. The headset has a USB based wireless connector for connecting to a PC or laptop. The wireless has a range of 10m and has a noise cancelling microphone. Since this headset is designed for long usage periods of gaming the adjustable frame is made of lightweight material to ensure the best fit possible. This headset is especially nice from my perspective as I abhor ear buds and prefer either an on-ear or as in this headset the over the ear headsets. The over the ear design of this headset allows for one to concentrate on the task at had be it a teleconference or a gaming session.

For gaming purposes, the headset has controls that allow one to balance the game sounds and team chat levels to your personal levels. It also has a rotary master volume control to help keep levels appropriate for the task at hand. Finally, it has multiple EQ modes that allow you to further adjust the sound to your preferences.
For all use purposes, the microphone can be raised to the vertical position to must the mic – which is a nice feature to have for any headset uses – especially when on conferences and web meetings.
Usage Impressions:
The headset is a wonderful addition to one’s setup and will allow you to get the best sounds from one’s system when using a headset. I tested the headset using multiple tracks that were recommended for testing audio systems. These tracks were used for testing audio systems across the sound spectrum form deep base to soaring highs. The tracks allow testing spatial separation of sounds and the dynamic ranges of the piece being played. From all of these tracks the sounds were excellent and only one track was lacking in the separation of various instruments.

The nicest included item with this headset is an included license code for Dolby Atmos® for Headphones. This is an audio enhancement that creates an amazing experience with moving audio that flows around you – enhancing the 3D experience and increasing the immersion into the games you play.
For audio conferencing functionality this headset works great. The headset and USB connector as portable enough that one can travel with the headset and take advantage of it for use with audio conferencing solutions and provides a quality audio experience for this use case. The mute function is useful here and one can use the timing of muting and unmuting to help avoid interrupting another speaker.
Pros: Audio quality, Batty life, portability, performance
Cons: None so far.
Cons: None so far.

Bring the movie theater experience home with this LG projector. Its USB Type-C interface connects to smartphones and laptops for streaming FHD content, and it's Bluetooth-enabled to pair with wireless speakers or headphones. The MiniBeam LED lamp on this LG projector has a life of up to 30,000 hours for long-term performance.

The LG PF50KA CineBeam projector is an incredible projector that anyone could find useful; however, it is very suited to those who have already or are considering cutting the cable TV/satellite subscription cord of which I am one. In addition, this projector has quite a few nice surprises that makes what at first seems like a high price point into a true value prospect.
This review will occur in 3 parts – Tech Specs, Usage Impressions, and pros/cons:
Tech Specs
Even though each of you can read the tech specs from the product description page, let me point out a few key specs that I find to be key to this projector and its value proposition. First – this is a FULL HD projector with a 1920X1080 resolution. Second, this projector is a LED RGB driven projector with a lamp life of up to 30,000 hours – which equates to 3750 days with 8 hours of usage per day assuming you made it to the full lamp life – that is over 10 years! Second, this projector is equipped with LG Smart TV content that is built on LG WebOS – which is a Linux kernel-based multitasking operating system for smart devices – such as TVs and projectors and allows the projector to act as a streaming device, which means it does have WiFi and well as Bluetooth. Third, as this is cool for the cord-cutters – it has a Digital TV tuner built-in – which means that one can connect an antenna and get local over-the-air channels for your tv viewing pleasure, without having to get another device to tune the stations for you. The fourth and final key feature for me is that this projector has a 12,000 mAh battery- yes you read that correctly it has a battery – that provides up to 2.5 hours of projection without needing a power cord.

Now for the other tech specs – it has, in addition to the Digital TV Turner it has 2 HDMI, 1 USB Type A (for use as a DivX, MP3, presentation file, and Photo source), a USB Type C (allows FHD video transfer and display from compatible devices, as well as laptop/mobile device charging, all at the same time over a single cable), LAN connector, and audio out via a 3.5mm connector (see pictures for a look at the connector panel). The backplane also has a power switch (switching to on puts the projector in standby mode) and DC power connector ports as well as a security lock port.
The top of the unit has channel and volume controls, the Focus Ring and a power toggle button on the top. The bottom of the unit has an adjustable leg and a standard ¼” Tripod mounting hole.
Usage Impressions
My wife and I have been using a projector as our TV for about 1.5 years and we’ll likely never buy another TV because we find it to be the best viewing option for the money. Thus, this projector is very appealing for the capabilities discussed above. I have found this projector to be a high-value device and very useful. I currently have this device set up in my office with it projecting a 91-92” diagonal screen with a projection distance of 10 feet, 8 inches. The 600 Lumens rating for this projector means that the room needs to be lightly lit or dark for the screen to not be slightly washed out (see images accompanying this review for a darkened room vs a lit room). The picture is clear and shows no projection issues and the system has both an auto keystone and manual keystone correction capabilities.

Since this projector has Smart TV functions, I tested these out via a WiFi connection and these were enabled without issues. Installation of the Hulu app was done with ease. I will state that the number of apps available are limited and having more would increase its value. YouTube, Hulu, and Netflix are the most notable apps.
The projector has a variety of audio connection capabilities in addition to a built-in 1W+1W speaker. The speaker is a little light and on the tinny side. However, the projector does have Bluetooth capabilities that I was able to test with a sound bar that I own, and it worked great.
One key thing to know about this projector is that there are no controls on the projector itself. So, you must either have the remote or you can use your smartphone – but this must be set up beforehand to be used.
On a final note, I will state that this projector is a high quality and sturdy device that was accidentally tested as the power cord was tripped on and the projector took a fall to the floor while it was on and no issues have been noted as a result.
Pros: Features/Capabilities (TV tuner, Battery), Portability, Quality, Performance
Cons: Built-in speaker, lack of interface on the projector, limited app availability
Mobile Submission: False

Great Stylus and Pen - Cost is a little high

While i have only been actively using this stylus for a short time I find it to be a great stylus to use with my Playbook and a very nice pen on the wirting side of its dual functionality. The cap is very secure on either end of the device. My only challenge is that i believe it is priced a little high.
What's great about it: Good weight, writes nicce
What's not so great: Cost is high

Go low-tech to receive HDTV signals with this RCA digital indoor TV antenna. Perfect in a large urban area with lots of local TV channels, this low-profile antenna provides a 12-position switch for fine tuning reception. This RCA digital indoor TV antenna captures signals in a 40-mile range and installs easily.

THis is a basic HDTV antenna for short range (under 20 miles) OTA HD reception and is works great. I have two of these and they do exactly what they are suposed to do and as a bonus keep me from having to pay for cable or satellite tv!
What's great about it: great price
What's not so great: which the ears potion work more flexible.

Add extra protection for your car with this EchoMaster vehicle camera kit. It has dual cameras for capturing front and rear action, and the 4.5-inch clip-on DVR display delivers real-time movements and recorded footage. The 500 mAh battery of this EchoMaster vehicle camera kit makes automatic recordings even after ignition is turned off to document any parking incident.
So, the rearview is only good for backing up and not to see out the back window?
Just the opposite - it is a rear facing camera and NOT a backup camera.

Will this fit a 2012 Volvo XC 60?
It should work and you might have to get an extension cable to route the rear-facing camera. Since your vehicle has a hatchback - routing the cable through the wiring harness and onto the glass will present challenges.

Will the remote controller hold a Galaxy Note 9 in a case?
IT is unlikely to do so - I could not fit my iPhone 6 with an otter box case.
