Amazing Gaming Headset. Value for Money

from Chander AZ
Logitech - G433 Wired 7.1 Gaming Headset is must have accessory for gaming and general use. It is very light and comfortable to use, 7.1 surround sound which is perfect for gaming.
The ear cups have a cloth-like exterior to match the grille cloth. The right ear cup holds 3.5mm connections for both the audio cable and the removable boom mic, a flexible rubber arm that clicks securely into place.
The headset comes with the aforementioned two pairs of ear pads and detachable boom mic, plus two cables, a cloth carrying bag, and a 7.1-channel USB sound card. The PC cable is 6.5 feet long and wrapped in cloth, features an inline remote with volume wheel and mic mute switch. There is another 5 feet cable included for phone. The mobile cable is plain rubber and features an inline mic with a single play/pause button.
The carrying case is a soft, zip-up pouch that comfortably holds the headset with the ear cups folded flat. It also has lot of room for both cables and the extra ear pads. The included 7.1-channel USB sound card lets G433 simulate surround sound with audio processing and mixing between the headset's stereo drivers. Surround sound is great for all games and Mic quality is outstanding.
The Logitech G433 is a very flexible wired gaming headset that comes with a ton of accessories which include two cables, two sets of ear pads, a carrying case, and a USB sound card enabling simulated surround all add up to a very good deal for $100.

Best Hot Air Fryer from Philips
on July 29, 2017
Posted by: Selva
from Chander AZ
Philips Air Fryer certainly working as expected. We have cooked fries, onion rings and banana and all came out very crisp and taste is awesome.
I really like using this air fryer to cook crisp foods by using hot air rather than a lot of messy / unhealthy oil. It cooks really fast. The controls are very easy to set temperature and time. The basket can be released with one button click. The unit is little loud while cooking. The design is very elegant and it can fit in a cupboard.
The manual is not great and very difficult to follow the instructions. This particular model missing many useful accessories as listed on the box. The cookbook that is included is very helpful. I prefer to use the phone app which is simpler to use. This fryer can be used to Fry, Bake, Grill and Roast. It is very easy to clean. Please be careful while using the basket and gets very hot. Also, another issue is it comes with very short card which limits where you can place it.
Overall, it is excellent product for cooking and definitely a great alternative for deep frying.

Ninja Coffee Brewer is an excellent choice for people who drink coffee very frequently. It is easy to assemble. As recommended, I have followed and completed the cleaning cycle before first use. We have started using this coffee maker immediately and impressed with the taste of the coffee. It tasted better than store coffee. The nice thing about this brewer is that you can choose half, travel and full.
The size is small and did not take up much space. Build quality is great and comes with all necessary accessories. It is exceeded my expectations.
If you are a serious coffee drinker and want premium coffee tasting experience, this coffee maker definitely for you.

Excellent Headphone. Value for Money
on July 12, 2017

from Chander AZ
I connected JBL Everest 310 headphone wirelessly to my iPad Air & my android phone and they worked flawlessly. Setup is quick and easy with Bluetooth. It also comes with an 3.5mm headset cable with an inline mic for wired use. I was streaming audio from Spotify, Plex, and even watched several movies wearing these. Unlike other products this headphones have very balanced sound. While the traditional bass is there, it is very obvious they are providing a much cleaner sound now.
I was skeptical to buy these after buying and returning a pair of the high end headphones from other companies. This is best wireless headphone made by JBL and well worth every dime of the purchase. I have owned wired and wireless headphones previously from multiple companies. Those were replaced by JBL Everest 310 headphones as my go-to device for listening music.
The hard carrying case is great for maximum protection. Battery life is so good and i was able to listen more than 20 hours with single charge. The headphones physical controls include the power slider, volume buttons, play/pause button (which can be used to answer incoming calls), a Bluetooth pair button, and a ShareMe button. I really liked the ShareMe feature allows you to pair an additional bluetooth headset (regardless of brand) to the headphones and listen on both devices. It works very well. Overall, these headphones are definitely versatile, offering Bluetooth and wired options. They are easy to use thanks to the quick power-on, power-off, pairing, and the various physical controls.
I have listed some of the notable features of JBL Everest 31 Headphones.
20 Hour Battery, quickly recharge in 2 hours using Micro USB
Built in microphone with echo cancellation technology for crystal clear, hands-free calls.
Comfort fit - ergonomically designed to fit the unique contour of listener's ears.
Fold and Carry - A sleek flat-fold design with premium hard carrying case to allow maximum portability and protection

WOW. Amazing Home Automation / Wi-Fi router
on June 28, 2017
Posted by: Selva
from Chander AZ
Samsung Connect Home is the industry’s first Smart mesh Wi-Fi System to combine fast, reliable Wi-Fi coverage for every room in a home with Samsung’s industry-leading smart home platform, Samsung SmartThings.
Samsung Connect Home design replaces larger, antenna-laden routers with a simple, sleek and compact design that can be placed anywhere and everywhere in the home, even in plain sight.
Simple setup and unified management – Samsung Connect Home can be set up with easy-to-follow instructions using the Samsung Connect app. The app will guide placement of each Samsung Connect Home device throughout a home for optimal performance. Samsung Connect simplifies smart device management with automatic connectivity, convenient device integration and easy set-up. Using Samsung Connect, users can easily see and manage connected devices, set parental controls and allow guest access.
The Samsung Connect Home Smart Wi-Fi System came with three-pack or single. The three pack system is ideal for homes up to 4,500 square feet. A single Connect Home is for homes up to 1,500 square feet. For homes with high bandwidth demands for gaming, streaming or home offices, a single Samsung Connect Home Pro also available. It supports up to five Samsung Connect Home devices at once for 7,500 square feet coverage.
Automatic firmware updates provide additional safeguards to keep smart devices secure.
Samsung Connect Home is the only whole-home Wi-Fi system that works as a SmartThings Hub, making it compatible with hundreds of Works With SmartThings devices. With no monthly fees or subscriptions, Samsung SmartThings makes it easy to automate and manage your smart home, and gives you the flexibility to expand your smart home with lights, door locks, cameras, voice assistants, thermostats and more.
The coverage and wireless speed is much better and stable which you will get it in most of the latest mesh wi-fi routers. The internet connection is pretty stable and no reboots at all. I was able to perform most of the basic settings using phone app. Port forwarding can be done for each device using the app. Parent control can be handled easily with rules.
However, there are few limitations on router configuration using phone app. There is no way to configure static ip for specific device which is needed for NAS drives, Plex Remote access etc.
The number of devices conntected to the router is showing wrong numbers and some of the devices not even appearing even though it is connected in the network. I had 20+ devices connected in my network with old router. With Samsung Connect Home, it is showing only 12 devices. After some research, I found out that all wired devices connected using a switch, not showing in Devices on network section. I am sure that this issue will be addressed by Samsung soon.
I am impressed with the elegant design and performance on this router. I strongly believe that Samsung took right step to get into Router / Home automation market. With Samsung Connect Home, they will achieve the same.

Great workout headphones, value for the money
on June 27, 2017
Posted by: Selva
from Chander AZ
At first I was a bit skeptical to get these headphones. These headphone comes with multiple different rubber ends to fit just about every imaginable sized ear, and I quickly found ones that were compatible with mine.
After few hours of usage, I'm happy to report that these headphones exceeded my expectations. The quality of sound to surprise every time I wear them. They are light and comfortable. Setup with phone using bluetooth pairing is seamless.
I have used to attend phone calls and sound quality for calling as well. The battery says it gets 12 hours and easily getting 16. The noise canceling is working extremely well. They are comfortable to use for a long period. The range is really good (around 40 feet) between my phone and the headphones. The buttons are simple to use.
I am glad that I saved $50 to 100$ and went with these over other workout headphones. This headphone is good for workout, biking, construction, hands free, headphones. I will definitely recommend these to anyone in the market for this type of headphones.

The picture is very clear and bright. Thanks to 144Hz refresh rate. It has headphone holder which is really cool design. All HDMI, Display Port and USB cables were provided in the box.

The performance and features of this monitor are awesome. However there are few design issues. There is no way to adjust the height of the monitor and viewing is not great from bottom and sides. If you are planning to mount in a wall, it may not provide good viewing experience.
If you are looking cost effective solid widescreen with 1080p resolution, this could be the monitor for you.

Better Sound with major flaws in design
on May 26, 2017
Posted by: Selva
from Chander AZ
Setup is very easy and connected using Bluetooth as well as NFC. The including cable for charging and higher-quality listening is a USB-A to micro USB.
I connected this headset wirelessly to my iPad Air & my android phone and they worked flawlessly. Setup is quick and easy with Bluetooth or NFC. I was streaming audio from Spotify, Plex, and even watched several movies wearing these. The sound quality is not that great compare to other high end headphones. I used these headphones wired or wireless, which means I get the versatility of wireless.
I had issues with this headset especially using with wireless option. The signal is very week and if i leave the room the signal breaks continuously and cut off. Sometimes it gives excessive static sound if the phone is inside the pocket. Also, when you listen the songs, the person next to you can hear the songs as well which is not the case in other high end headphones. I really want privacy when listening songs and watching movies especially while travelling.
Pros
The first headphone to employ Audio Technica's Pure Digital Drive system, which keeps the audio signal circuit completely digital, from listening device to driver, where the analog conversion takes place. The pulsed controlled digital signal is transferred directly to the driver’s voice calls, resulting in precise diaphragm movement for exceptionally accurate sound reproduction.
Unique housing architecture keeps the electric circuitry separate from the acoustic space, achieving precise airflow control and superb audio clarity.
Internal battery provides up to 15 hours of continuous use on a full charge. Headphones reproduce high-resolution digital sources up to 96 kHz/24-bit via wired USB connection, and up to 48 kHz/24-bit wirelessly.
Cons
The touch-sensitive button (used to control forward, backward, pause, play, etc.) is slightly confusing. The volume control switch is directly next to this button, either i am pausing or fast-forwarding my music when all I really wanted to do adjust the volume. It is really poor design.
No USB C cable for charging / listening. if you have new laptop with USB C port only, you may not be able to use this headset with laptop.
No hard, protective carrying case.
I wanted to use this headset due to Pure Digital Drive system. However, i will stick to my SONY MDR-1000X noise cancelling headset due to solid build and sound quality.

Outstanding and Educational for Kids Project
on May 25, 2017
Posted by: Selva
from Chander AZ
I got this for my 8 year old daughter who has interest in things STEM and in music. She was completely engaged, went through the exercise and put it together with minimal support. The setup is nice and easy with iPhone and step by step process given in the phone app was very helpful for her to complete this project less than 30 mins.
The box came with various parts. One is a magnet and a coil (attached to the controller which interfaces with iPhone or iPad) with which you can do experiments and learn about magnetic fields, frequency and amplitude. It is pretty cool. And then you tape the coil to any old box you happen to have around (like the one it came in) and you created a speaker and it plays music. It was truly a magical moment and took my daughter by surprise which made the lesson all the more wonderful. Two is actually building a speaker (here the controller is assembled into a plastic box with the speaker assembly (comes assembled)). So she ends up with a speaker in her room that she can listen to.
The cool thing is you can control the lights using phone static and dancing mode. There are lot of design covers to go on the top of speakers and kids can change the look every week. This product made me feel like I was a kid again with my daughter building it. Truly 100% AWESOME AND OUTSTANDING JOB BOSE! I can't say enough about the learning experience for both my daughter and I. Well worth every penny and I will be buying one for my relatives kids as a gift for summer project.
The sound quality is great and design looks stunning with different colors. Now, on the complaints side this speaker needs to be powered up using power cable and there is no android app to configure the speakers. Definitely worth to buy for kids who has interest in STEM and music.

Excellent Gaming PC with cheap accessories
on May 9, 2017
Posted by: Selva
from Chander AZ
HP OMEN is an excellent gaming PC came with i7-7700 Intel 7th generation processor coupled with 16GB DDR4 RAM, 1 TB 7200 RPM HDD (No SSD), latest wireless connectivity, Bluetooth 4.2 and amazing NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 with dedicated 8GB GDDR5 memory graphics card. This PC handled almost all games without any glitch.
The case is very slick and i love the color changing LED panel and it is treat to watch. Inside there is plenty of room for additional drives and RAM. One really nice feature is that the 16GB of memory came in two DIMM's, leaving another two memory slots free if you'd like to expand the memory to 32GB.
GTX 1070 is amazing graphics card and worth at least $400 itself. It comes with three DisplayPort ports and one HDMI port. I was able to use my ASUS 32" 4K monitor to pair up with the PC, I must admit that the graphics are simply superb.
I had existing PC Lenovo P900 (with GTX 980) and i must admit that this PC exceeded expectations with processer and graphics performance at least 40% margin without SSD.
I am using this as HTPC also connected with Epson 5030UB projector with Plex Media Server, Kodi and CyberLink Power DVD setup. Due to high end graphics card, the picture quality is really crystal clear on big screen for Blu-ray Discs and 4K videos.
On the complaints side, the included HP-branded mouse and keyboard are extremely cheap, and the keyboard is so bad that I had to replace it with my existing gaming keyboard. If you can replace the keyboard and mouse with your own, this PC is a really good for gaming or HTPC.
My other complaint on this unit came with 1TB 7200 RPM hard drive and there is no SSD. My only upgrade is putting a SSD drive and this PC will serve for a long time for my gaming needs.
All-in-all, this a great pre-configured gaming PC at a great price.

I bought this router to replace my perfectly working Asus RT-66R model. I wanted to change my router just to get bit more range in my new 2200sqft home. Prior to getting this router I have tried one of the best range extender Ampedwireless AE-20. It’s range was excellent, but connection was very much degraded and struggled to get connected at times though it was set up to clone settings from original router.
So, after reading few positive reviews on BBY and mixed reviews on amazon, I decided to give new Nighthawk R8000 a try. I am happy with its slightly improved range than Asus and very much disappointed with its 2.4Ghz performance. I have more than 15 years of network experience and I really don’t bother tech support unless until it is really out of my hand and hardware specific.
Here I am trying to do a fair comparison with two routers I have (Asus & Netgear) + sign means “better” and – signs means “poor”
Wired Connection:
+ RT-66R has excellent wired connection which works at par with Motorola SB6141’s consistency
+ RT-66R has excellent wired connection which works at par with Motorola SB6141’s consistency
- R8000 has fair wired connection with slight consistency issues.

- RT-66R Not applicable (does not come with this feature)
+ R8000 excellent connection with full speed by ISP’s
Wireless 2.4 Ghz:
+RT-66R has excellent connection with 80~Mbps out of my actual 120~Mbps ISP feed at channel 6 with 450 Mbps capability.
+RT-66R has excellent connection with 80~Mbps out of my actual 120~Mbps ISP feed at channel 6 with 450 Mbps capability.
- R8000 is a complete failure in terms of 2.4Gh network
I have tried all available channels and found it degrade my 120~Mbps connection 1-14 ~ Mbps
I have tried all available channels and found it degrade my 120~Mbps connection 1-14 ~ Mbps
At this point I called customer service and it sounded like they kind of aware of the issue. With minimal trouble shooting and changing the channels to their recommended channels (01, 06, 09 & 11), there was no improvement. So they asked me to degrade from 600Mpbs to 289Mbps and it started working.
So technically now their claim of 3200Mbps became 2911Mbps.
Access Control:
+ RT-66R has fairly good access control capabilities. You can schedule what time of the day each device can access the internet. This feature is important for me as I found it is very useful with kids on top of parental control settings.
+ RT-66R has fairly good access control capabilities. You can schedule what time of the day each device can access the internet. This feature is important for me as I found it is very useful with kids on top of parental control settings.
- R8000 access control only let you allow or deny connecting a particular device. You cannot decide what time it should be able to connect. – Major drawback for me.
Parental Control:
- RT-66R has poor parental control settings, but with an option to point DNS to OpenDNS we can achieve better parental control settings with their FREE offerings.
+R8000 – also use OpenDNS but with dedicated service assigned to netgear so that you can add bypass account also which can’t be done with OpenDNS free account. This is the only additional benefit I found with this router so far compared to RT-66R.
VPN:
+ RT-66R is also able to use OpenVPN with mobile access with their free App. I was abe to access local network using iOS and Android devices with no issues.

+R8000 – very useful feature if you have your router in bedroom or other place you don’t like lot of flashing lights. Can be accessed via web GUI and with a dedicated hard button at the rear of the router.
USB Storage and Cloud access:

- R8000 – could not find any documentation about cloud access. Only information I found is about ReadyCloud and it is dedicated to Netgear NAS only. Another major setback for an expensive router.
Web GUI:
Though Netgear has a simple interface and easy to follow GUI, it lack modern look and feeling. I like Asus GUI better.

- Netgear – Though I received prompt customer service when I called, it was shocking to learn that the phone support is only available for 90 days of purchase, then you have to pay PREMIUM subscription to get phone support.
CONCLUSION:
I have thoroughly tested all important feature that I need. Rest of the features are generic to me and I am not bothered much about them.
I am sure this router with Dual 5.0Ghz network will be very useful for those who have new wireless devices. For me I have a lot of devices that depends on 2.4Ghz frequency such as smoke detectors, thermostat, laptop that connects to NAS for backup etc. and degraded and unreliable 2.4Ghz network make it absolutely worthless considering the amount I spent on this router.
I am seriously thinking to take this back to the store. I don’t see any point in spending almost double amount of money to get a couple of benefits and a lot of drawbacks and pay for a premium to get their phone support if needed to an overpriced product.
I would not recommend this router at its current price and it is unable to meet its original claims and comes with a premium phone support after 90 days.

There are not much Android tablets with premium specs in the market compare to Apple iPad, but Samsung is not ready to give up the fight with the release of high-end Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 with significantly updated specs, HDR screen and improved S Pen support. It is equally positioned with iPad Pro.
Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 screen has a 9.7-inch 1536 x 2048 Super AMOLED display with support of HDR content and it matches the iPad Pro 9.7 in size and resolution. Samsung Tab S3's screen size and resolution have not changed with pixel density of 264 pixels per inch. It has Super AMOLED display, for brighter, richer colors. The main upgrade over the Tab S2 is HDR content support. There is not a huge amount of HDR content yet, but once there is this it will be really helpful with Samsung Galaxy Tab S3. Another big change for this model is that there's no 8.0-inch option, Tab S3 only coming in a 9.7-inch size.
Tab S3 has metal and glass build with similar size to Tab S2. Samsung upgraded the design for the Galaxy Tab S3, replacing the soft plastic back of the Tab S2 with a glass one, but retaining the metal frame. The overall appearance like an oversized Samsung Galaxy S7.
While cameras are never the highlight of a tablet, Samsung Tab S3 came with 13MP back side camera and 5MP front facing camera with LED flash. It does include an autofocus and can record 4K video at 30fps.Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 came with 6,000mAh one and it can last up to 12 hours of video playback. I have used more than 10 hours without any issues. It supports fast charging via USB Type-C, so you shouldn't be waiting too long.
Tab S3 runs the latest major version of Android 7.0 overlaid with Samsung's own interface. It came with quad-core Snapdragon 820 chipset and 4GB of RAM. The Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 only comes in one size - 32GB, but it also has a microSD card slot with support for cards of up to 256GB if you need more storage for apps and games.
Beyond the core specifications, Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 is packed full of features, including support for Samsung's S Pen stylus. This is the latest and greatest version of the stylus, with a smaller 0.7mm tip and increased pressure sensitivity. It also works with S Pen features like Screen Off Memo, which lets you take down notes without turning the screen on or launching an app. The Tab S3 also supports keyboards using a pogo connection, so all that along with the screen specification make this remarkably similar to the iPad Pro 9.7.
It has 4 stereo speakers tuned by AKG promises distortion free sounds. It came with fingerprint scanner and it supports Samsung Flow, which can sync notifications between your tablet and Galaxy handset.
I have listed the key specifications below
• 9.7-inch 1536 x 2048 Super AMOLED display
• Supports HDR content
• Matches the iPad Pro 9.7 in size and resolution
• A metal and glass build
• Similar size to Tab S2 but thicker and heavier
• 13MP rear camera with autofocus
• 5MP front-facing camera with LED flash
• 6,000mAh battery with fast charging
• Supposedly lasts through 12 hours of video on one charge
• Snapdragon 820 chipset and 4GB of RAM
• Android 7.0 out of the box
• Just 32GB of storage, but microSD support of 256GB
• Supports S Pen stylus and keyboards
• Four stereo speakers tuned by AKG
• Fingerprint scanner
• Supports HDR content
• Matches the iPad Pro 9.7 in size and resolution

It is one of the best android tablet with premium features and equally matching iPad Pro. It worked really well with Samsung Book Cover Keyboard for accurate and comfort typing.

Hi Malack,
Apps can be downloaded from Google Play or Samsung Store. If you are looking for side loading apps from 3rd party, you can do that as well. It is similar like S2 with upgraded features.
