The open-ear form keeps your ears breathable and aware of your surroundings while skin-friendly liquid silicone hooks provide a soft, pressure-free fit that feels like nothing at all, even during extended wear. When it's time to block out the chaos, flip to ANC mode and experience effective noise reduction that creates your personal listening space on busy streets or crowded public transit.

Best earbuds for everyday life and work
on June 11, 2026
Posted by: mibeal
This review comes from somebody who has owned a lot of earbuds in his life and all the namebrands. These things are my #1 go to and so much I actually own two pair one for work and one for home.
They are the most comfortable thing, I can literally wear them until they die without any discomfort. They are very stable for active movement and exercise.
Battery life is insane all day lasting and a quick charge in the case will get you back going again. Case is a little bulky but you get used to it. It can wireless charge or usb-c.
Sound quality is really good for music and phone calls, microphones are not the best in the market but they suffice for zoom, phone calls or video calls just fine. They do pick up alot of ambient noise around you though be warned.
The option to adjust the earbuds into a noise cancellation mode is so handy. I normally wear them in open mode so I can listen to music in a busy office and still have conversations but the ANC mode is very noticeable. You aren't going to block out airplane noise but they give you the option to go with either mode just by flipping the earpiece no other adjustments necessary.
I also really like that the buttons are mechanical push buttons, I find them very accurate and never have issues with them.
Very unique earbuds and I swear by them, can't wait to see what the next generation looks like.
Highly recommend.

H6 Air will elevate your gaming experience
on April 22, 2026
Posted by: mibeal
The new Sony H6 Hair openback headphones are really something special when you are talking about elevating your audio gaming experience. First off they are wired if you couldn't tell but the sound experience is incredible.
They are open back style headphones which means there will be some sound bleed if you are near other ppl with them but you get a much more robust sound overall. These things can get loud too if you choose, the volume dial on the headset is a nice touch. Also enjoy the detachable mic if you just want to game in solo mode.
The inzone app you can get on PC, has some really nice RPG style settings that let you get really immersed in your fantasy adventure. The included USB-C type adapter means you can snap these into a phone if you choose as well plug and play.
I found wearing these for hours on end was super comfy and I even plugged them into my phone and worked around the house just fine. The mic is decent but don't expect any next level noise cancellation here, but it get's the job done.
I've used wireless gaming headsets my whole life and this really changed my view on how a wired connection can really change how you view audio, plug and play on PS5 as well as PC.
At the price point these are a great value from Sony.
Would highly recommend if you want to get immersed in your next RPG adventure and let the world around you fall away.

Great Wireless Gaming Keyboard
on April 8, 2026
Posted by: mibeal
The Corsair Vanguard Air 99 wireless keyboard has been a mostly great experience but as per usual with Corsair I feel plagued by the software.
Packaging is nice with additional keycaps for Mac and some other customization depending on your use case. Switching them out is pretty easy although did not find a keycap puller which would have been nice.
Keys are low profile but feel nice and very quiet compared to some other brands. The macro keys on the left are nice and the screen is alot of fun to tweak with .gifs.
My main hang up on this thing is the software, it's not compatible with iCue and forces you to use the web app to configure it. This is a bit annoying when you have a mouse or controller that needs iCue but you can't open the web app if iCue is running..ugh Corsair.
I had to disable the sleep function completely because whenever the keyboard would sleep when it woke up it would not be responsive at all unless I power cycled the keyboard and it would come back. So i just keep it disable now, hoping for a future firmware fix here.
Overall really happy with it, I just wish they would make the webhub app and iCue play nicely between each other or just go all in for all the hardware on one or the other, and this is coming from a Corsair Keyboard, Mouse and Gaming Controller user. Still going to be my main driver for a gaming keyboard.

Great entry into the android ecosystem
on March 15, 2026
Posted by: mibeal
The new Google Pixel 10a is a great place to enter the android ecosystem if you've been thinking about jumping ship or just a great phone to upgrade to if you are already team android.
The screen is very vibrant especially when you max out the new top brightness. The Camera's front and back do not disappoint at all. Combined with Google's newest Gemini, makes taking the best and most creative photos really easy.
Gemini is integrated well into the OS and phone and I find myself using it frequently where as in the past not so much.
Network connectivity is bleeding edge with the latest wifi and bluetooth standards, all my devices worked seamlessly with the phone with easy connection and low frustration.
Battery life is great at a nice usable 30h on a charge and a lot more in the battery saver mode if you catch yourself in a bind. Charging is nice and snapping whether wired or wireless.
Water and Dust resistance at IP68 gives you peace of mind for those accidental drops in the dish water or whatever else life might throw at you.
The new included Satellite SOS mode is also a big feature for me as a wilderness hiker I'm often without service but with this feature if something were to happen it's comforting to know that I can get help if I needed it without having any wifi or cell standard service.
This is a great entry point in the Google Ecosystem or if you are switching from another brand. The Google Pixel 10a is a really good mid tier that gives you a taste of all the premium features without having to pay the top tier premium price.

It fits my hand like a glove
on March 5, 2026
Posted by: mibeal
The Corsair Ironclaw Wireless SE Gaming Mouse surprised me quite a bit. I've never been a huge fan of Corsair items but this mouse really hit's a homerun for me. It fits my handsize just perfect. It glides on my mat effortlessly too.
I hit a small snag during the setup process, maybe this is just something everyone else will just pick up on but I'll mention it. During the setup with the iCue software it tells you to plug in the 2.4ghz recceiver and turn on the mouse but nothing was syncing up. I finally decided to try and plug in the included USB-C charging cable and magically everything synced up. Nowhere in the setup process was it stated to do this, opinion would have been nice and saved me some time.
Configuration in the software was super easy to set up RGB sync with my keyboard, configure DPI settings and assign keys to the mouse buttons. I recorded a custom text macro and it worked great.
One of my favorite things about this mouse is the placement of all the extra mouse buttons in relation to how my hand sits on the mouse. I feel like everything is in a very reachable spot and doesn't feel like I'm over reaching to hit things ever. I've always been a logitech guy, but keep making products like this Corsair and you will win me over.
Would recommend especially at the price point, new favorite gaming mouse.

Latest from Sony almost a homerun but not quite
on February 3, 2026
Posted by: mibeal
The new Sony Linkbud Clips are a really good open earbud type option with all the latest bells and whistles. At a mid to high price point Sony doesn't disappoint..too much here.
The case is one of the smallest earbud cases I've ever owned and I have had over 20 or more pairs through the years. USB-C charging but a big miss is no wireless charging. At this point ppl expect that standard and seems like a big miss not to include it.
Battery life is decent but watch out for the DSEE, i found there to be significant drain with this focus on lossless sound. Most of the time I found my battery life less than the 9 hours advertised at less than half volume most of the time. I will say the case charged them very fast so you were not out of the game for long.
Earbud fit I wasn't in love with how they felt on my ears. I won't say they caused pain after extended wear but they weren't as comfortable as I had hoped. They also felt like they slid up and down a bit on my ears not staying in place well. I did not do any crazy running or exercising with them either just casual wear around the home and office.
Touch controls were really really bad on these, like to the point I would almost call it unusable. The app has a feature to make the touch controls extra touch sensitive but even that did not help. These were the worst part of the earbuds by far for me, would have much preferred a mechanical button somewhere, but the touch controls were really a miss here for me.
Sound quality was really good actually but you got three listening modes depending if you want to focus on a louder sound or preventing on sound leakage to the outside world. I will say on the vocal boost you get a lot of sound leakage so you need to be aware of your volume level around others in public. The call quality was really good some of the best actually with the microphones in here, you aren't getting anything ground breaking with noise cancellation on the microphones but I think most ppl expect this with these open type earbuds.
In conclusion they are decent sounding but for that price point the fit just wasn't as comfortable as I hoped and the touch controls being as bad as they were make these not my front runners on open earbuds. Especially at the moderately high price point these are entering the arena, coupled with no wireless charging. Make the choice that's right for you.

Great hairstyling kit
on November 25, 2025
Posted by: mibeal
The Shark Glam Ceramic and Airstyling kit is a great all in one solution to get the fabulous look you've always wanted out of your hair accessories. You've got a lot of options here with a straightener, curler, and anti frizz. Also a very high powered hair dryer.
The hairdryer does a really good job of getting everything nice and evenly dry but only real complaint is how loud it is. It almost is so loud it hurts my hearing to blow dry my hair on high, and animals are def not a fan of it. Overall it does a really good job, better than any other dryer I've had in the past.
I normally don't curl my hair but this was a good chance to try and the results were great. My hair is the kind that doesn't hold a curl ever until now. It was ready to use within seconds of turning it on but as a left handed user I did find it difficult to use. Overall it did what it's supposed to and I had curls in my hair like never before.
The straightener was very easy, ready to use within seconds. Worked wonders on my hair but it is fairly straight to begin with. I like that all of the products have safe points for touching so I don't accidentally burn myself.
I found the starter guide to be quite helpful with how to properly use the products and how to hold them for safety and also where to touch and not touch.
Overall everything in this kit really is top notch. Everything I expected from a brand name like Shark. I find myself spending time on my hair I never cared to before with the right product in hand, really makes a difference. Would recommend this to anyone looking to up their hair styling game.

Premium Gaming at a non premium price
on November 17, 2025
Posted by: mibeal
The Corsair Void V2 Max wireless headset brings alot the wireless gaming table. The versatility to add to a PC or console or both at the same time really opens the doors to how you want to use it. You get a 2.4ghz wireless option as well as bluetooth and the ability to have both at the same time is really great.
I found the headset to be very comfortable for long extended gaming sessions, I will admin my ears got a bit warm but that might just be me. I do wish the mic was removable when not needed, but it did not effect my enjoyment of the headset. Communication on the mic was crystal clear and all my teammates had no issues hearing me or complaining about too much background noise being picked up.
Battery life here is really king at a 70 hours of play time and when you get low a quick 15 min charge will net you another 6 hours if needed. No hot swappable batteries here still the quick charge keeps in the action quickly.
Sound is really top notch whether its getting lost in a movie, song or fps game. I could hear all the footsteps and environmental sounds I could imagine all around me. Watching movies really made the surround sound pop in my headset and made for an immersive viewing experience.
On PC the software makes everything very customizable from RGB to making custom actions for the buttons so you really can tailor the experience to what you want out of it.
If you want to play on XBOX you still get a premium experience all the way around, its nice getting the option to use it how you want. Corsair really gave us a premium headset option here without the premium price you might find on other comparable brands.
Overall very happy with the headset and would absolutely recommend.

Pixel Watch 4 knocks it out of the park
on November 17, 2025
Posted by: mibeal
Pixel watch 4 is a great place to jump into the android watch ecosystem. First off this will not work with an apple iPhone, so if you don't have an android phone don't bother.
Pairing the watch with my pixel 9a phone was simple enough by following the directions on the screen. The band it comes with was sufficient to get started but lots of options out there.
Battery life is decent I can get about two days of wear on it before I need to charge it, but the charger is shining star. It lets you charge it in a sort of dock mode which is handy and it charges very fast, 40 minutes from dead to full charge is pretty impressive.
Customization on the watch was great, I found some premade watch faces on the google play store that fit what I was looking for or you can spend the time to make your own. The touch screen works well with no complaints. I like the ability to see all my notifications, and health information at a quick glance. If you are trying to move from the apple ecosystem to android I will say nothing feels closer to an apple watch than this pixel watch from google.
Sleep tracking is excellent and I don't feel like I even notice I have it on most of the time. All the health tracking is done through the fitbit app, and I feel like it does a stand up job at it. It even is smart enough to detect the activity I'm doing and ask to confirm the activity type and length.
Overall very happy with the watch and all it brings to the table, would recommend.

The Ultimate Gaming Headset Wireless
on October 16, 2025
Posted by: mibeal
I had the previous gen of the Arctis Nova Wireless and can honestly say they have only approved on an already great headset. You get the headset, DAC, two batteries and all the cables necessary.
Hot swappable batteries are a real treat, keeping one charged inside the DAC and being able to swap them within mere seconds keeps you gaming longer and frustration free.
Microphone quality was really great and seems to hold its position nicely which is important to me.
Bluetooth connection was really solid was able to go several rooms away without much signal loss.
Sound on these things are amazing I felt myself picking out tracks on well known music and games I didn't even know was there previously. The spatial sound for footsteps in FPS really was a game changer too, this headset really just makes everything around you just pop.
The software is really frustration free to download and use. There's so much configuration that can be done with ease so you can really cater everything to your specific needs and liking.
I found the headset to be quite comfortable to wear for extended periods without my ears feeling too hot or the band digging into the top of my head too much.
I'm really very impressed with this overall and while it carries a high price point you are getting the very best wireless gaming headset on the market in my opinion, no regrets.

Get peace and quiet anywhere with these Sony truly wireless noise-cancelling earbuds. An advanced HD noise-cancelling processor blocks distracting background noise so you can focus in noisy environments, and Bluetooth connectivity ensures easy use with smartphones and other devices. These Sony truly wireless noise-cancelling earbuds include a convenient charging case that offers up to 24 hours of use per charge.
How comfortable are they? Do they feel like they're going to fall out with rigorous exercise (running) or do they have a secure fit a majority of the time?
They do not feel secure to me and I tried several of the ear tip sizes. One of the major complaints in my review was that when walking/running they don't feel secure.

how long has this been on the market I cant find any reviews any where I bought it because it sounds good on the inside and the last HP Pavillion I bought in 2011 is still running mostly good but I am preparing for needing a new 1
New to the market maybe a month or so. Short version of my review is if you just want to use this for checking email typing up documents and browsing web you will be ok. Don't expect any kind of gaming or 4k movie watching on this. Even just using it as a workstation feels somewhat slow with the 1tb mechanical drive. Add a SSD and it will be a speedy machine for you.

Never re use the ac power plug between power supplies you can and will fry your psu mobo/cpu and maybe more. Only ever use the cable included with each psu.
