Good earbuds but lacks bass and is delicate
on April 16, 2021
Posted by: hootenmba
Verified Purchase:Yes
The sound is good but lacks bass. We like the highs and mids and the charging case is really nice. If you misplace it though, the find my AirPods only shows you the last location they were connected to the phone, which might be helpful. The location will not update again until the charging case is open and near the phone. Therefore, if they walked off, good luck finding them. The case is very breakable and if you drop it I am afraid that might be the end of your charging days. Should have more protection on it. Of course, that is sold separately and recommended. :)

Orbi AX6000-Big, bulky, and pricey
on April 16, 2021
Posted by: hootenmba
Verified Purchase:Yes
These things are HUGE and take up some space! Who wants to wall mount and run a wire down the wall. The fit better on a shelf or table. Pretty pricey for a mesh system even if it is wifi-6. The signal doesn't seem to be as strong as my other Linksys system that was wifi-5. The system seems to do it's job of keeping one uninterrupted network but when you go outside the Linksys works and the Orbi Pro AX6000 seems to falter and they are in the same spots.

Great improvement on our center channel speaker

Verified Purchase:Yes
Voices were not as clear as expected from all those small speakers across the front but it was definitely better than the center channel they had. The sound is very good otherwise.

Pricey and a good machine
on February 19, 2021
Posted by: hootenmba
Verified Purchase:Yes
This was a refurbished laptop and for the price it is a really nice machine. We had to get a USB-C multi-port adaptor to ensure that we could hook up other items since it doesn't have a lot of port options. Really fast and beautiful screen.

Great little scanner but could be a little better.
on January 29, 2021
Posted by: hootenmba
Verified Purchase:Yes
It is compact and scans quickly. The feeder stands up easily and if you forget to flip out the paper feeder guides for the side-to-side stabilization, it will feed crooked. There is a switch for rear leading paper to front loading cards but I don't see why it doesn't just do that automatically. When it is asleep loading paper wakes it up automatically so that is nice. If you close the feeder tray it appears to shut down and wake up when you open it back up.

Not as clear as other streaming devices
on November 6, 2020
Posted by: hootenmba
Verified Purchase:Yes
Works very well but shockingly the quality is less compared to streaming off of a PS4. The PS4 was much more clear. I bounced the inputs back and forth and the details were so mutch better paused on a scene on Netflix from the PS4 while the Chromecast with Google TV was noticeably grainier and darker. The same was true for Amazon Prime videos.

Great sound and great sound isolation
on October 2, 2020
Posted by: hootenmba
Verified Purchase:Yes
These earbuds fit well in my ear and are really fantastic to listen to. It's also been a nice surprise to see how well they cancel out background noise in most any environment. People on the other end say they can also hear me extremely well when I am speaking, even with my mask on.

The test feature is nice
on August 7, 2020
Posted by: hootenmba
Verified Purchase:Yes
We have had no alarms so no real test but when you push it to test, it works great. It says where the test is coming from and the others all go off in unison. I hope it works when needed as it was a fairly easy install and looks good. We turned off the night light feature so the battery may last longer too.

Versatile but not always operational
on August 7, 2020
Posted by: hootenmba
Verified Purchase:Yes
The PC mode works well and it scans mostly correctly. The wifi scan is a struggle in my opinion. Working sometimes and not at all the others. Switching between programs to scan sometimes locks it up too. The DS620 has been our workhorse but I am not a fan in my early testing.
