Excellent at gaming and everything else
on June 15, 2024
Posted by: KKCNIck
These are a pretty versatile pair of Headphones. I like that they came ready for Xbox but can work with pc and any other bluetooth device. The setup was pretty standard. Connect the headphones to the included cable and you download an app for updating the headphones and changing the sound profile. That is where this excels. It has a ton of games to preset the desired sound profile. For example Fortnite, Horizon, apex Legends, COD, etc. in addition you can quick save your 2 favorite to the headset so you can rotate them when gaming. After that the included usb-A cable to usb-C adapter is really long and I feel like they could have done better since it looks bad connected to my Xbox.
Now the sound is really full and you can hear a ton more details in the game vs other headsets I have used. The battery so far has run an hour+ per day for 5 days and has not even needed a charge. They mention 60hrs and that is like once per month or more of gaming. When I connected them to my cell the music playback was awesome and sounded very detailed. Balanced bass response. The mic is just genius in that you can pull it out for use and when you’re done it slides back in. Now these can be worn for other than gaming and you don’t have the typical huge mic on one side. Finally the adjustable head strap is very comfortable for long use and the ear pads are extremely comfortable. The only cons are more color choices and the length of the cable for the Xbox. Otherwise this is an excellent gaming and other use headset.

Nice but drains battery
on June 14, 2024
Posted by: KKCNIck
MagSafe wallet with plenty of room. I liked the concept of this since I have a large wallet with a ton of cards and the idea of having them attached to my phone is great. The setup was pretty simple. I unboxed it and pressed a small button on the wallet to enable pairing mode. Then on my Iphone I went to Find My and selected "add other item" to connect it. Then I charged it but I still do not know how to keep up with the charging since there is not a battery indicater on my phone or the wallet.
Use:
I used the wallet for holding my ID and CC's and it was handy. The find my app was accurate in locating my wallet in my home. I liked the stand function that it serves both portrait and landscape.
Cons:
I still need to take off the wallet for charging which is in my car and at home. Also it seems like this drains my battery more than normal. I looked into settings and there is not anything specific that seems to indicate that but I know where my battery life is around 5pm everyday and this just drains it faster. Finally it seems bulk on my Iphone Pro Max with the wallet so it sticks out in my pocket at ton. I wish they had a magsafe passthru so I could still charge the phone. Also would be nice for other colors.

Excellent wireless headset with long battery life
on June 11, 2024
Posted by: KKCNIck
The Jabra Talk65 headset is an excellent choice for anyone needing a reliable, high-quality Bluetooth device for hands-free communication. Its comfortable design and lightweight build make it excellent for extended wear. The headset boasts impressive audio clarity, supported by dual-microphone technology that effectively reduces background noise, ensuring that both ends of the conversation are clear and undisturbed.

This provided 2 x 8 hour days of talk time and still had charge, which is excellent for my work on the go. Additionally, its wireless range worked excellent around my office and walking to/from the copier and break room. This device also has voice control compatibility, allowing users to interact seamlessly with virtual assistants.

One minor drawback is that the fit may not be ideal for everyone, as it relies on ear gels, which can be uncomfortable for some users after prolonged use. Nevertheless, the overall build quality, sound performance, and battery life make the Jabra Talk65 a top contender in the Bluetooth headset market. Whether for business or personal use, this headset delivers a solid performance that justifies its price point.

Just ok for Xbox users
on June 2, 2024
Posted by: KKCNIck
Setup:
The headphones where pretty simple. Unbox the headphones, wireless receiver. Then connect the wireless receiver in the usb port of your xbox. Push the power button and you will hear wireless mode. That is it. In my case I needed to pute my tv so the sound did not come out of the tv and headphones. Inside the box was a setup guide which had a QR code for Android/IOS to update the firmware and adjust the EQ. Simply download the app and pair the headphones to your mobile device. I was greeted with a firmware update. Took about 5 min.
Use: I like that these were easy to setup after the firmware update. They have decent spatial sound however I did not find them as full and detailed as other headphones I have used. They did work well and I did not encounter any issues with chat or game sounds. I just was not super impressed with the sound quality. I never found a need to charge these. I liked how you could just set them down and they go to sleep.
Cons:
I like that they are easy however the sound profile could give more details to the game like nearby enemies in FPS or more racing sounds in Forza. Also they were just ok as far as comfort. After a fee hours I took them off since they started to hurt my head.

Great but software could use refinement
on May 28, 2024
Posted by: KKCNIck
I tested this steering wheel on my Xbox One-S using Forza Horizon 4&5 and Forza Motorsports. Overall, my experience with it was good, although it is lacking in some areas.
Setup was easy. Out of the box there was very little assembly, and for the most part it was plug-n-play. There were some firmware updates, but that’s to be expected.
The steering wheel gives great feedback, making you feel like you're really behind the wheel of the car. The 7.2Nm driver made for a very realistic driving experience.
The RMD feature is awesome. I love the gauges on the base—they add a cool touch of realism. I was not able to get this to work for Forza Motorsports. It just showed “Waiting for game information” the whole time on the screen. Being able to create separate driving profiles is a great addition; you can customize your experience to suit you.
The headphone jack on the base was super convenient, so I didn’t have to run my headphones all the way to my Xbox. The detachable steering wheel makes it great for storage. I do wish they had stuck with the standard size shaft so you could use other steering wheels, but hopefully Turtle Beach releases more options of wheels for this unit. The lighting on the wheel looks awesome at night.
The unit did act up a few times. The lights all dimmed out and the steering wheel was just turning back and forth. This happened mid game several times, which was annoying. The only way to stop it was to unplug power from the base and plug it back in. It seems this is a pretty common issue from reading some forums. Upgrading the firmware did not resolve the issue.
In my opinion, the brake pedal is too stiff. It might break in over time, but it made it difficult to control the braking sensitivity.
The pedal base also moves around a lot, especially on hard floors. You definitely want to purchase a stand and not try to use this independently as you cannot keep the pedals in place using them on the floor.
I also wish there was more sensitivity control in the pedals. There are only three settings for each one and it makes pedal control difficult to adjust, especially on the throttle.
Overall, the Turtle Beach Velocity One is a decent racing wheel with its ups and downs. It's great for casual gamers, but serious enthusiasts might find it lacking in some areas.

Great Value Bands
on May 11, 2024
Posted by: KKCNIck
***Packaging/Setup***
The watch bands were well displayed and packaged. Assuming you have taken off any previous watch band and this was easy.
***Use***
The band was comfortable and very soft. Also feels just as light on my wrist as the sport loop I had. I did find the 2 loops and locking pin are hard to get the watch on with one hand. I have to hold my wrist against my chest to get the watch on. The colors are nice for the price. I actually found the mix match of colors pretty useful for a unique look to the watch. I have had no issues with it coming undone or feeling like my watch will fall off my wrist.
***Cons***
I wish there were more color options. Also, I do not like the dual loops to put the watch on. It just takes longer to put the watch on in the morning. The length of the watch band seems a little longer than the OEM band, so it is just more tucked against my wrist.
Final Thoughts:
I feel like this is a good value if you want additional bands for an affordable price point or just more variety. If you take your watch off frequently through the day, then these bands are not for you.

Just ok but not as close as manual
on April 23, 2024
Posted by: KKCNIck
The unboxing experience was straightforward, with just the razor and a USB cable included. Initially, I was intrigued by the concept, expecting it to provide a smoother shave than my manual razor. However, after giving it a few tries, I found that it didn't quite deliver. I ended up needing my manual razor for touch-ups.
In terms of performance, the razor provided a shave that was neither overly rough nor particularly fast. Unfortunately, it didn't manage to achieve the same level of closeness as my trusty manual razor. While it might appeal to those looking to avoid the open blades of traditional razors, its design made it somewhat tricky to use on certain areas like the knees.
One thing worth noting is that despite coming with user-friendly instructions and a USB cable for charging, the razor lacks a stand for storage. This means it has to be placed on a counter or in the shower, which isn't always convenient. Considering its subpar performance, the price tag might be a bit hard to justify.

Good but could use a louder sound profile.
on April 19, 2024
Posted by: KKCNIck
This ULT 7 Speaker has a different shape compared to previous Sony portable speakers. Setting it up was straightforward: just turn it on, scan the QR code, and install the Sony App. Then, it guides you through the pairing process. The app offers many settings beyond the usual media options like Spotify and Pandora. I could adjust the RGB lighting, though only to preset patterns, not custom colors. The speaker features two Bass Boost options: ULT 1 for deep bass and ULT 2 for louder sound. It can lay flat or stand up, making it versatile for parties or the beach, and it's tough with its IPX 67 rating. What's more, it has a mic input for karaoke and a guitar input, adding to its versatility.
However, the downside is that it's not particularly loud for its price. Battery life was around 20 hours on ULT 2 mode, but the app only showed battery in 20% increments, making it somewhat inconvenient to manage. Nonetheless, the multipoint connection was handy for streaming music with friends, as up to three people could connect to the speaker simultaneously.
Overall, while the Speaker offers unique features and versatility, its sound quality might not fully justify its price. Yet, its durability and additional functions like mic and guitar inputs make it a solid choice for various occasions, from gatherings to outdoor activities.

Best 14" gaming laptop of 2024
on April 19, 2024
Posted by: KKCNIck
Unboxing and Setup:
The Asus G14 arrived in a premium sealed box, with the charger neatly packaged separately. Setting up the laptop is a breeze, requiring only a quick connection of the power adapter and a press of the power button. Asus Armoury Crate adds convenience with customizable profiles and easy updates.
Battery Life:
Playing Fortnite at balanced settings, I achieved a respectable 45 minutes of gameplay at 75% brightness. Further adjustments could extend this time, showcasing the laptop's versatility.
Performance:
With turbo mode and the dedicated GPU engaged, I effortlessly maintained a solid 120fps in Fortnite, even on ultra settings. The OLED display brings every detail to life, from shadows to distant horizons.
Keyboard and Design:
This features an excellent keyboard with satisfying key travel and eye-catching RGB lighting. The light slash on the lid adds style and serves as a visual status indicator when closed.
Display:
The 120Hz refresh rate OLED panel offers a stunning gaming experience with calibrated profiles and G-Sync support. Bright, responsive, and visually stunning, it's a standout feature.
Heat and Audio:
While the laptop can warm up during intense gaming sessions, the onboard speakers deliver impressive sound quality, enhancing the gaming experience with rich, detailed audio.
Ports and Build:
The Asus G14 balances portability and connectivity with a selection of essential ports. The aluminum build exudes quality, though it may feel slightly heavier than expected.
Pros:
- Blazing-fast performance
- Stunning display quality
- Premium build
- Reliable and fast wireless speeds
- Seamless transition between gaming on battery and power
Cons:
- Non-standard PSU
- Lack of a lip on the monitor for one-handed opening
- Short gaming battery life
- Heat generation during intense use
- Micro SD slot instead of full-size SD slot

High quality range finder with some unique feature
on April 16, 2024
Posted by: KKCNIck
The SL3 rangefinder by Voice Caddie is a very capable device and quality device. The unit feels natural in your hand and is very light. No longer do I need to pull out your cell phone and an app to look at the hole information, it’s all right there on the OLED display. At my first golf outing, as soon as I took the unit out of the case it immediately knew what course I was at without any input or interaction. As I traversed each hole, the unit was spot on with which hole I was on, all due to the built-in GPS functionality. I often found myself using the unit at the tee box, even on Par 5 holes. This is because it provides a full layout of the hole on the OLED screen, including bunks and hazards. From the tee box it lays a 200 yard arc from which you can zoom in to see more details and even touch any area to get a distance to it. Since it’s using GPS, it was extremely accurate, so I knew how far away a hazard was and didn’t even have to look through the viewer. Using the viewer to get measurements, the magnification and information provided was easy to read and the SL3 was quick to provide measurements which appeared to be accurate. It was hit or miss with the Pin Tracer function, not sure if it was me or the unit. I could get it to lock to the pin and it vibrated when doing so, but a few times it didn’t seem like the distance was right compared to just looking at what the screen showed. When it did work, it was nice to get the slope which provided an adjusted distance to compensate. When approaching the greens, I did like to preview the slope to give me an idea of what to expect, however I didn’t find myself using it while on the green itself due to having other players behind us.

Best Iphone Yet
By KKCNIck from montgomery, il
It is a huge step up from the original IPhone. Each Year they get better and better. This year finally the most needed thing (larger Display). I only wish the 2 features in the plus were in this and it would have been perfect. Full 1080p display and the optical Image Stabilization. The Plus is nice but its practically a tablet and really should have been able to have those features in both. Otherwise very happy with the upgrade.

How do I pick a new laptop?

Well any laptop will do that. It is a matter of hard drive space. I would look at the Toshiba A305-6916 if you can find one because they are priced right and have great speakers for playback. Also has a 320gb hd which is pleanty of room.

Yeah I just saw one for $999 and it has p7450 processor and a 1gb nvidia gt260 card. It also comes with a free upgrade to windows 7 when released. I would find the G50vt that they are clearancing if you can because there is not much difference and you will save money.
