Jabra Elite 75t - great for calls

I had the Jabra Eite 75t earbuds for a week and used it for about 12 hrs. My first impression - these are good earbuds and are on par on the features it offered compared to different earbuds I own (Samsung, Plantronics, Jlabs, etc.) and is priced at $200 to compete with the majors brands in the market. Had to update the software right out of the box, took about 15 mins for the update. Had an issue with the left earbud dropping out occasionally (happened about 10 times in 5 hrs of use)- reset the earbuds and tried unpairing and paring it couple times and it still didn't fix the issue. Emailed the customer support to see if they had any recommendations.
Features:
1) It has a small form factor and comes with various tips sizes. Comfortable fit and didn't have any issue of it falling off of my ear while walking around. Used it for about 6 hrs before I had to charge them. The case has enough charge to let you use the ear buds for 28 hrs. I like the fact that this has the buttons to activate various functions instead of the touch application that most of the ear buds on the market currently have. I often got annoyed with the touch functions with accidentally touching those while handling the earbuds and Jabra 75t doesn't have this issue at all! The app is intuitive and has the set-up instructions and user manuals explaining the earbud functions. It supports google voice, alexa and siri, and didn’t have any issue using the voice activated function on my phone and iPad.
2) Call Quality - The call quality is amazing and didn’t have any issues using it in noisy environment (airports, city streets, etc.) and didn't have any dropout issues. I can definitely compare the call quality with $300 earbuds I currently own and have no complaints on this at all. I had 2 devices (PC and IPAD) connected to it simultaneously and was able to receive calls on my phone while watching a movie on my iPad!
3) HearThrough feature- Its configurable and you can mute the music when you hit the left ear bud button to activate this function.
4) Sound Quality - I wasn't completely impressed by the sound quality it offered for music lovers. Being an audiophile I would have to rate this as medium compared to the ones I currently own. Its heavy on base and low on the midrange, and lacks the clarity I seek in a $200 earbuds. I played around with the equalizers settings on the app and still wasn't impressed by its sound quality. Its one's personal choice and people who love bass might like these earbuds.

Overall a good pair of earbuds for call quality but falls a little short on sound quality when listening to music. I feel there is more work to be done on these earbuds and the price is a little high for the sound quality it offers.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Beats Solo Pro is an Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) over the ear headphones. I was waiting to experience their noise cancellation feature as I am a big fan of their past headsets and this definitely is a step up, if you are looking for that feature. My review is based on my experience with headsets ranging from $250-$600.This is placed at the $300 price point to compete with other major brands. I ranked it 3rd on the noise cancellation feature. Sony and Bose still taking the first two spots on this feature, but there are lot more Pros on their sound quality compared to other major brands.
Getting to the details:
• The 2019 Pro is a BIG upgrade in the design and the quality compared to the studio and solo wireless headsets. This has a metal band (anodized aluminum arms that slide in and out of the headband) which I consider as very durable compared to the plastic bands they have on other models. It has a premium and distinctive look to it, so that’s a big positive when you are spending $300 on a head set. Also, the ear cups are made of premium soft leather and very comfortable to wear it for long hours. The headset needs a little breaking in as it's a snug fit with the metal band. I noticed this headset has tilting ear cups which I didn't see on other beats headsets that I own. This design definitely seals off noise from the surroundings.
• In terms of the functions, Beats started to follow the industry by getting rid of the power button. Folding the phones turns off the headset. It has a lightening charging port, supports Siri, but doesn’t have the 3mm aux port for wired connection. It boosts 22 hr listening time with ANC and 40 hrs without ANC. So far I tried it for 8 hours and I like the fact it you get 3 hr playback time with only 10 mins of charging. The best part on this headset - once you pair it with one apple device, it automatically shows up on all of my other apple devices and didn't have to worry about pairing it - good job apple!!
• ANC- This is the feature I was most interested in and wanted to compare it with other brand headsets I own. I tried it on my 6 hour flight and am happy with this feature. The little button on the headset lets you switch between ANC, transparency mode. This falls a little short compared to Bose and Sony based on the tests I did walking on the Chicago's busy streets. Used it to answer phone calls and didn’t have any issue walking around my home without the phone. No dropped calls or lag issues at all for indoor use, will have to test the audio quality for outdoor calls.
• Sound Quality - This definitely lives up to its expectations! The sound quality is amazing - crisp and clear. It is a little low on bass compared to other Beats headsets I own, but definitely makes up for it on the sound quality.
Sub-bass 20 to 60 Hz - Good
Bass 60 to 250 Hz - Good
Low midrange 250 to 500 Hz - for harmonics - Great
Midrange 500 Hz to 2 kHz - horn like quality - good - Great
Upper midrange 2kHz to 4 kHz - sound trimbre -Great
Presence 4 to 6 kHz - for clarity - GREAT!!
Overall I like this headset and a great improvement in the design and sound quality compared to other beats headsets. Its arguably the best headset that Beats has made to date! Only complaint, it came in a soft canvas case. Just get the red headset - comes with a red anodized metal band to match the headset!

I am an avid runner and complemented my workout with 2 pairs of dumbbells and an inclined bench. This is a new addition to my home gym kit and impressed by various workouts you can do with this little bow kit. Its well built and a little heavy, but definitely portable if you are traveling by car. Registered on their website and got access to their videos. There is a personal trainer option with paid subscription which I haven't explored yet. Couple key things that I liked about this workout kit
• Watch the video's on their website and follow safe workout procedures as you can hurt yourself if you careless in how you handle the elastic bands. Takes a little time to get used to it, but does the magic on your workouts.
• This definitely gets you heart pumping if you try the aerobic workout routines
• I personally liked the squat workouts that is a little easy with the low tension elastic bands. So far I was able to do some quick reps with yellow and orange band. Takes some effort to get to user
• Chest press is my next favorite and it wore me out. Still need to get used to the high tension bands

Definitely a good option for someone who has limited space at home and doesn't want to invest money in gym membership. You get the full workout experience with one bow and 6 bands and all you need is 20 mins of everyday time!

Sennheiser definitely stepped up the game on this headphones and now it competes with the major brands on the features, sound quality, and pricing. This is my second Sennheiser headphone and I have never been a big fan of Sennheiser until now. The momentum 3 has changed my perspective on Sennheiser headphones. I own several other over-the-ear and on-ear headphones from major brands (price range $350-$550), so my experience is purely based on the 2018 and 2019 headphones that I current own from other major brands.
Sound: The sound clarity is amazing and definitely on par with the ones I own. This sound clarity on this is amazing and I feel this is the best headset for vocals - hands down! As an audiophile I have to rate this based on the sound characteristics I generally look for, when rating a headphones/music system. It falls a little low on the bass, but again its one's personal choice (or trade-offs) on what you prefer - high bass with lower clarity or low bass with high clarity @ high volume settings. I prefer the later one on over-the-ear headsets.

Features:
1) It simultaneously connects to 2 devices and it switched from my ipad to phone when I received a call. Its supports Bluetooth 5 and I walked around (~80 ft before I saw a lag) my house and didn't have any issues with it getting disconnected or dropped calls. I used it for 14 hours so far and still have 20% battery remaining on it. Its rated for 17 hr battery life.
2) It turns Off when you fold the headset and there is no ON/Off switch. I just need to get used to folding it when I am not using it, so I don't drain the battery. Also, it pauses the music when you take the headset off.
3) It has the Tile support- device locator. I had to use my Tile app and configure it to detect the "momentum 3" headset as one of the recognized devices on it. I tested the app, the phone vibrated with a low beep - not loud enough to detect if you are in a noisy environment, but the visuals on the phone are helpful (see the review pic)
4) Android App - The app has all the necessary description on how to use the controls, so you don't have to google it if you forgot on how to pair it with a new device, etc. It has equalizer settings that I played with and tested it for different settings - movie, music, etc. I cranked up the bass to its max setting and it still maintained the fidelity (i.e. not muffled) on the vocals.
5) Active Noise Cancellation (ANC)- This headset has a switch for turning it ON/Off and has a transparent mode to enable you to hear the outside noise. The app itself has 3 other settings for ANC - good for using it on the plane (check the pics). Overall it fell a little short on this feature when I compare it with my other headsets. There is some more work that needs to be done to improve this feature, to be on par with the best ones on the market. I didn’t have any issues with phone conversations in the noisy environments, but I rate it below the ones' I currently own, on this feature.
6) It has voice assistant and lets you connect to Alexa - haven't tested this feature yet. Am more of a google assistant person.

Overall I like this headphones and definitely recommend it - Built off of high quality material, nice supple leather, very comfortable to wear it for long hours. My only complaint is the case - wish they provided a hard case instead of the cloth one. One other thing I noticed is the Aux cable that comes with it - it’s a proprietary cable and has a "twist lock" to keep it from snapping off, so don't lose it! This headset is definitely a good bang for your buck and falls in the high end price range with one more new option to choose from the existing brands in the market! - Good job Sennheiser !!

Great monitor for everyday use. It’s a 32" monitor with a small bezel. Check the pic for different resolution options on this monitor. It has 2 HDMI ports and a VGA port. Had a desktop connected to one of the HDMI ports and a microsoft Miracast on the other HDMI port, and had no issues casting my laptop screen on this display. It has different viewing mode settings based on what you are doing i.e. movie, bluelight (I liked this setting), game, reading mode, night mode, etc. check the pic for viewing modes that you can choose from. Played some movies, games, videos to test different applications. Was impressed with the movie mode settings but was a little disappointed with gaming mode. The refresh rate (only 60Hz) is not the best for gaming and this monitor is definitely not built for extreme gaming. I like the tilt function (25deg backward or forward) on the monitor and my only complaint is that it doesn't have the mounting holes for a wall mount or a monitor stand. Overall this is a good budget monitor for everyday use and I recommend it based on the value it offers for its price.

Had the Shark IQ Robot for almost 3 weeks (cleaned 8 times so far). I watched her run around my house while I got lazy. My reviews on this robotic vacuum are based on my experience in comparison with 4 other robotic vacuums (2 different brands: 2 sensor based ones and 2 camera system based ones with wifi) that I currently own.
Set-up and App functionality:
Set up was a breeze, took about 5 minutes to get it up and running. Downloaded the shark app and got it connected to home Wifi, and set up a cleaning schedule. The app also shows the past cleaning history and when you click the past event it opens up the floor map to show what locations were cleaned. The app also sends you notification on the phone if its gets stuck and you can also command the robo cleaner to clean from the app. Love the app so far, it's simple to use and has the necessary functionality built in it. Haven't linked it to my google home and alexa app yet. This is a camera based robotic vacuum cleaner and is much lighter than the ones I currently own.

How smart is it ?
It is still learning its ways around. I have way too much furniture in my living area on the first floor and I have her programmed to clean my first floor (~1000 sq ft) along with my previous robotic vacuum. It did spend quite a bit of time learning the floor plan (4 rooms on first floor) and it got smarter every time it cleaned. It is optimizing its path by picking the longest path with the shortest cleaning time. It doesn’t bump hard against the furniture like my other ones do and it now started to slow down when its gets close to my furniture and I am guessing it will stop bumping into them eventually ones it learns the floor plan and the furniture locations. I am impressed by its learning capability and it never got stuck at any location so far. It did get a little disorientated (lol) when it tried to climb on the pedestal fan but it now stops when it gets closer. The map function got updated after 4 cleaning sessions and it's still learning. Unlike my other one, she follows a vertical path plan (row by row) to clean which I think is the efficient way to cover the entire floor plan. I used the supplied botboundary strips to mark the "no-go" zone and it worked pretty good and planning to order more to mark off the areas near my furniture.

Functionality:
It has 3 operation modes: Quite, Medium and High Suction mode. I tried only medium suction mode and It cleans for about an hour and the battery still had about 40% charge. You can program which mode you want it to clean on the app's daily schedule. You have to turn ON "Recharge and Resume ON" functionality for big floor plan by holding the clean button on the vacuum for about 15 secs and this will recharge for about 4 hours and cleans from where it left off. It’s a good function to have for big homes. Also, if you have pets there is a neat function (Evacuate and Resume) that you can turn ON that lets the vacuum return to the dock to empty its bin more often. I like the "self-empty" function on the base that sucks the dirt from the vacuum into the base unit when it docks and you don't have to worry about a cleaning the robo vacuum's dust bin - one more reason to be more lazy ;-). The base dustbin has a visible indicator (holds 30 days of dust) that tells how much dust it has collected so far.
The self-cleaning brush is amazing and you don't have to worry about hair wrap and stuff getting on the brush head. My older one needed the brushes to be cleaned every month :-( and I love the self-cleaning brush idea. It also has 2 dual corner edge brushes which is neat for cleaning along the wall base boards where most of the dust accumulates. It has a power on/off button which I like as I can turn it off when I am gone on extended vacation. This is a very good function to have and not have to worry about turning off the cleaning schedule which I currently do on my other ones as they don’t have power off button.
I have medium thick carpet, hardwood and ceramic tiles on the main floor and didn’t see any cleaning issues with the vacuum so far. The suction is good so far and I can't comment on how good it will be after a year so. I had my other ones between 2 to 7 years and I had to replace battery on one after 5 years and suction power was low on the one of them after 3 years of use (3 times/week).

This is a very good function to have and not have to worry about turning off the cleaning schedule which I currently do on my other ones as they don’t have power off button.
I have medium thick carpet, hardwood and ceramic tiles on the main floor and didn’t see any cleaning issues with the vacuum so far. The suction is good so far and I can't comment on how good it will be after a year so. I had my other ones between 2 to 7 years and I had to replace battery on one after 5 years and suction power was low on the one of them after 3 years of use (3 times/week).
My only complaint on this is the power cord being short (3 ft) and I had to use an extension cord to get it the location I wanted.
Overall, I like the features on shark IQ robot (R101AE) and would highly recommend it based on my experience of owning 5 robotic vacuums (price range $600-$1200) from 2 different brands. This definitely offers more features - more bang for your buck, and comes at a lower price point. Can't comment on its durability yet as I only had it for 3 weeks

This is my first air fryer and thoroughly impressed with this healthy choice. The controls are pretty self-explanatory. Liked the digital screen and touch control options. The basket size is comparable to a dinner plate and holds descent amount of food (can easily serve 2-3 people). Tried several frozen food so far and now addicted to using this more than my deep fryer and oven. The food is crispier and I learned few tricks on how to make my food more crispy - just toss the food more often while you cook. Cooked frozen curly fries, mozzarella sticks, breaded chicken wings, and chicken drumsticks so far. The chicken drumsticks weren’t cooked all the way and had to add more time then what was suggested in the user guide and still not to the level I get when I deep fry them. Have to still experiment with different foods to see if this is better cooking option but is definitely a healthier option for someone who likes to eat more fried food. The cooking time is a little longer but a good tradeoff for healthier cooking choice. Easy maintenance and the basket is top rack dish washer friendly. I did see a difference in the crispiness and reduced cooking time when I opened the basket and tossed the food more often. Overall happy with the Chefman air fryer and would definitely recommend it as a healthy cooking option.

great ear buds
Customer Rating
4.0
I had this ear buds for 2 weeks (about 20 hrs). So far I am impressed with the features it offered and its on par on sound quality when compared to major brands. I used this extensively during my workout sessions. I primarily used it for outdoor running and it definitely passed the sweat test. I did rinse it under tap water to wash off sweat on the ear buds couple times. The controls are a little touchy and it is the same issue with all the ear buds I have, just have to get used to holding it on the sides. Most of the ear buds have to go through the burn-in hours to reach optimal performance levels and I haven't gone through that phase with these ear buds.
Pairing was a breeze, you just have to hold the power button for 3 sec to power on the main ear bud (right) and 2 clicks on the power button to pair (should see a blue blinking light) it to your device. Make sure you hold the power button for 3 sec to pair the 2nd ear (left) bud. This was a little tricky as I had to read the manual to figure out how to connect the left ear bud. Holding the power off button for 3 secs will automatically turn off both the ear buds. There is a little bit of learning curve that you have to go through to effectively use the touch controls to place/end a call or use it to change music setting and it’s similar to the samsung ear buds that I currently own.
Pros:
Sound Quality: I am an audiophile and have several high end headsets. Am impressed with the sound quality and you can definitely feel the bass. Good performance on rate high on low midrange and mid range frequencies and would rate average on upper midrange frequencies. Didn’t have any issues making/answer calls with these ear buds and no complaints on the call quality.
Noise sealing: Select the right gel tip to go on the ear buds to block off the noise. I had try all the gel tips to find the right one (double flange tips) that sealed off the noise.
Charge: The case charged my ear buds about 6 times before I had to plug the charging case into the charger. The volume prompts (high, medium and low) tells how much charge is left on the ear buds. The ear buds will automatically power off and go into charging mode as soon as you place it in the charger case and the blinking blue lights on the charger case shows charging state. Also, the little charge cable on the case is detachable and use a long micro USB cable to charge the case, didn’t realize that until few days. You can also use the USB port on the charging case to charge your phone. The battery on the earbuds did last for several days (used 2 hr /day).
Overall good earbuds and the only complain is that this earbuds doesn't have an app that would allow to customize the settings you want, on the touch controls or the ability to change the equalizer settings, etc. Also, I had few issues (twice so far) where the left ear bud wasn’t connected and had to power off and power on to get it paired with the right ear bud.

Its a 2019 model and I had it for few days. Am impressed with its features and functionality and is good value for your money. My reviews are based on my experience with 2018 and 2017 laptop/surface book that I own which are in similar price range. This can definitely compete with Microsoft and Apple laptops in terms of spec and performance but comes at a lower price tag. I consider this as a mid-range laptop and good for day to day use, play some games and watch some 4k videos.
Battery Life (72Wh): Its 4 cell lithium ion built in battery pack. The spec says 20.5 hrs. But I did some tests and played some PC games, watched videos, browsed internet and the battery lasted for about 13 hrs with brightness and contrast levels set to recommended power management settings
Weight: Lightweight (2.1 pounds) and you can literally hold it with two fingers. Overall dimensions 12.0 x 8.3 x 0.6 inches
Screen (13.3"): Played Netflix 4K videos and it delivered life like picture quality. It has a webcam (HD) on the top bezel that I didn’t test it yet. Pretty responsive touch screen and amazing resolution (1920x1080). No complaints at all on the display for gaming or videos needs. It supports four finger multi touch gestures
Memory: DDR4 dual channel memory (8GB DDR4 2400MHz - 4 GB x 1 (On Board) - 4 GB x 1). One is soldered on to the board and one is upgradable. This is descent enough RAM for day to day use (multitasking) and might fall short for extreme gaming needs.
Graphics: Intel UHD Graphics 620 (8th generation with higher clock speeds compared to its processor with noticeable performance improvement for gamers) are usually found in i5 and i7 core processors. This is a 2017 released graphics processor and is a mid-range graphics processor that satisfies most of the day to day applications.
Processor: 8th Gen Intel Core i5 processor (Intel Core i5-8265U 1.60GHz/3.90GHz). It’s a mid-range laptop processor released in Q2, 2018. It offers a higher maximal clock speed (turbo boost) frequency of 3.9 GHz and a little better compared to its predecessor (3.4 GHz). It’s a latest generation processor and amazingly fast. Played couple PC games (Apex Legend and Rainbow Six Siege) and saw a little lag but is acceptable for mid-range laptops . I overclocked the CPU and memory by multitasking (video, browsing, ports powering accessories) and didn't' see it struggle, was impressed by its performance. I could hear the fan running at its max speed to keep the PC cool. Will stress test it the next couple days to see how it performs.
Body: Metal body (magnesium alloy) has a good feel to it and feels tough. Shouldn't have problems with durability and spec says military grade durability (i.e. passed military grade tests levels on shock, low pressure, temperature, dust, vibration and salt fog). I specifically like the color its sliver with grey tint on it - dark silver ?
Keyboard: Its back-lit and has 3 settings - off, level 1 and level 2.
Fingerprint logon: This is the best feature by far on this laptop and logging on is a breeze and password free (supports windows hello feature - biometric login)- the power bottom has a finger print reader to unlock the PC, apps and websites. Added a picture to this review

Ports: 2 USB ports 3.0 ports, 1 HDMI, 1 USB C(thunderbolt 3!) and mini SD card slot
Few things I still feel could be improved - The fan is a little loud (but less louder than the ones I currently own), feel the technology is out there and it can addressed in the new generation laptops but it didn’t get hot though. Overall this is a great laptop for day to day use with good multitasking capability and am impressed with its battery life. It can last for the entire day on a single charge. The sound system was amazing , great DTS (multi-channel sound) experience with Bose Headset. This laptop comes with a 256 GB SSD hard drive which is pretty much industry standard now. Super-fast boot-up and no lag in accessing files and folders on the system. Supports bluetooth 5.0 which is pretty much the latest version on bluetooth technology. It has a ultra-small (compared to the previous laptops I owned) bezel and barely noticeable. Overall 5/5 rating for the value it delivers for a lower price tag when compared to similar laptops that can easily cost another $250-$300 more.

Great protective case with user friendly keyboard:
I had several brands of iPad cases with keyboard - have 4 different iPads. Had the Logitech slim folio pro on my 11inch iPad pro for over 3 weeks now and this one tops the charts on several features.
•Easy to pair and never had keyboard disconnect issues. The iPad auto on/off feature gets activated when you open/close the iPad
• Like the pencil sleeve - don’t have to worry about carrying another case for my Apple Pencil. The magnetic clasp keeps it from falling off
• Keyboard keys are super soft with right size keys. Don’t have to search for keys when I switch between my PC keyboard and this keyboard
• One small complaint - the volume keys and power key are covered with the rubber sleeve and had to press a little harder to activate them, specially for taking screenshots.
• Has a back lit keyboard with adjustable settings
• Best thing I like about this keyboard is the magnetic base that holds the iPad in upright position. It is pretty strong and prevents the iPad from flipping over or accidentally closing
• Have all the necessary shortcuts on the key board for various iPad functions
• Can be used in upright position as computer and can flipped over the keyboard to enable the reading mode. The best part, the keyboard automatically detects the flat position and turns the physical keyboard off so you don’t end up accidentally hitting the keys, and the iPad keyboard pops up too.
Overall 5/5 ratings with 3+ weeks of use (about 5 hours a day) and never had to charge it so far.

Do the newer ARLO camera systems still have the 15-30 second lag time from motion in front of cameras and that being relayed to your handheld device or laptop. even when watching "Live"? Don't want to upgrade if lag still exists in new system.
i did see a lag probably 5-7 seconds, definitely not 15-30 sec like the first gen Arlo. It also depends on our home internet speed and cell phone wireless signal strength.

Does this work in extreme cold temperatures? What is the minimum temperature that it will still function? The older systems did not work well in cold temperatures.
The spec says good for operating temperatures ranging from -20 degC (-4degF) to 45 degC (113 degF)
