Nice upgrade from a Vivoactive
on June 7, 2024
Posted by: Edward
Verified Purchase:Yes
Garmin makes great fitness watches. I bought this when my 4-year-old Vivoactive started to lose battery life. The Venu 3 is an upgrade in almost every way. One of the features I like about Garmin watches is how long a charge lasts. I was concerned that the new, brighter screen would shorten battery life but I still get nearly 2 weeks on a charge and work out 3-4 times a week. The new heart rate sensor is accurate enough for me to ditch my old chest strap, which is a big plus. I also am enjoying the improved sleep tracking. Being able to load music and connect to my bluetooth headphones means I can run or bicycle without needing to carry my phone

Good for the price - includes power supply
on June 7, 2024
Posted by: Edward
Verified Purchase:Yes
Bought this when my Samsung wireless charger gave out. It's compact and does the job. I was hoping the 15W rating would mean faster charges than my old 10W pad, but the charge times are about the same. No trouble with finding the 'sweet spot' to charge like some other pads. This units includes the power supply, which makes the price reasonable.

Best buds I've ever used
on June 7, 2024
Posted by: Edward
Verified Purchase:Yes
Excellent earbuds in every way! Sound is great and noise cancelling is extraordinary. I now use these while flying instead of big over-the-ear headphones. The customizable fit allows me to wear them for extended periods without my ears starting to hurt, but is also snug enough to use while running without them working loose. Controls are easy to learn and customizable through the app. The only slight negative is the charging case seem seems larger than it needs to be. I was initially hesitant because of the higher price, but caught them on sale and couldn't' be happier. They are worth it.

Just wow-this monitor is great! (albeit expensive)
on December 27, 2020
Posted by: Edward
Verified Purchase:Yes
Bottom line- this is a very nice monitor for both gaming and productivity. I know it's not cheap and if you are not going to use the game-centric features (144Hz refresh, Gsync/Freesync, HDR, etc), there are more budget friendly alternative that will serve you just fine.
I have owned this monitor for about 6 months and use it for both PC gaming and productivity (work from home).
First off the ultrawide format is just great- when I'm in the office, I use a dual 16:9 screen setup. Technically, that is more screen real estate than this monitor, but I actually prefer using this single 21:9 monitor at home and not having the annoying bezel gap in the middle of my work. It is excellent for video editing software and large spreadsheets.
On the gaming side, the screen is very bright and clear and very fast. The built-in crosshair option is handy. The wide field of view is very immersive without distorting images at the sides like I've seen with 49" super-ultrawides.
Originally I REALLY wanted the 38" version of this monitor, but at nearly double the price, I couldn't justify it . Honestly, I am totally satisfied with the 34" size and have no complaints.
One note- if you are thinking of mounting this on an adjustable monitor arm, make sure it can handle the size/weight of the screen, you may have to upgrade your mount

Anime classic never looked or sounded so good
on December 27, 2020
Posted by: Edward
Verified Purchase:Yes
For comparison, I previously owned this movie on DVD and thought it looked great in that format, but this new 4K transfer is quite a step up, not just for the extra resolution (sharper lines, increased detail), but the colors are more vibrant and the contrast range is much greater (brighter whites and darker blacks).
Even more noticeable is the improvements to the audio tracks- higher environmental detail and crisp dialog (Dolby Atmos in English and Japanese). It all is very well done.
The special features are interesting, but only in 1080P (like many films)

Wireless excellence
on December 27, 2020
Posted by: Edward
Verified Purchase:Yes
Was originally torn about spending this much on a pair of headphones, but in the end, I don't regret it. Having excellent sound and wireless freedom during work-from-home time has been fantastic.
Swapping batteries is simple and there is no noticeable latency during gaming. The extendible boom mic is nice so that you don't have to have it in front of you if you don't need it.
The pads are comfortable for my head size (average) and seal tight enough to keep out ambient sounds.

Handy bluetooth features
on December 27, 2020
Posted by: Edward
Verified Purchase:Yes
Went back and forth between Sony and Panasonic- both brands have great reviews and fantastic products. What ultimately made me land on this model, though, was the ability to pair and send audio directly to my bluetooth headphones- handy for when I needed to watch quietly, but still wanted to enjoy full sound. You can pair bluetooth speakers in the same way if you like.
Picture quality and operation is excellent, as is upscaling my 1080 bluerays to 4K. Load times are speedy and menus are smooth. Integration with my Harmony remote was seamless as well.
I have Roku for streaming, so don't use that feature on this unit, but the apps are there if you need it.

This CyberPower LE1000DG 1000VA battery back-up system features Line Interactive topology that regulates high and low voltage without using battery power. Twelve outlets safeguard equipment, with 1030 joules of protection.
 

How do I recharge it

After an outage, like all UPS's, it will recharge the battery itself when plugged into a 120v outlet. The battery capacity status can be checked by pressing the [mode] button.

does the Bluetooth have the ability to connect more than one device? say my tablet and phone. basically I will have the DAC in the living room with my PlayStation and surround sound, then Bluetooth for everything else. video conferencing phone calls etc

The headset can be paired with more than one bluetooth device, but can only use one at a time (for example: can be connected to either a phone or a tablet with bluetooth, but not at the same time).
-but-
If you are connected to the base station as one input (2.4GHz connection), I believe that you can also be connected to one bluetooth device at the same time (for example: gaming on your PC through the base station while also connected to your phone to receive calls)

Headband says it’s not adjustable in item specs, how does one fit the headset comfortably? I tend to always need to tighten or loosen the headbands on headsets, so would these be a bad option for me?

The arrangement is a 'double band'- the outer hard plastic band that connects the two sides of the headphones and a second, inner elastic woven band that rides on top of your head. Used properly, your head never touches the hard band. The length of the elastic band is adjustable with Velcro (in much the same way as some caps or VR headsets}- so yes, you can adjust how high the headset rides on your head by shortening or lengthening the elastic part.
