This replaced a 1TB heavily accessed drive in my Desktop and the difference is very noticeable. I use it for storage and a separate install base for games. Both have provided me with better performance than the drive's predecessor.
Besides the mentioned gaming, I use it consistently to access sounds and samples in production. I literally have hundreds of GB worth of sound effects, video effects, presets, and samples that I need to access quickly and repeatedly. Once a drive starts slowing down, it can make the tasks very cumbersome. So far, this has not been an issue. I can zip right through multiple files and folders with no lag and keep the workflow moving at the pace I need. That alone, is worth its weight in gold.

For gaming, I prefer to keep installs off of my primary drive. Steam, Oculus, Epic, etc. are all kept o this drive. Once again, no lag or extended loading or booting. I'm aware it goes hand and hand with RAM and GPU, but having all three at their best has created a much more enjoyable experience. Between work and the family, I like to jump in and out of quick sessions of gaming. When one component stalls that process, it's irritating. This drive has only maximized that goal.
Another great bonus is the transfer software. I haven't used it, yet, but it's good to know it's provided in the event I need to repurpose the drive. I'd rather use the software specific to the product that go outside and hope it functions properly.
Easy to install with great performance. Just what I need.

I have the adult version of these which my daughter had been using when learning on her tablet. The size was obviously an issue, but she stuck through it. It wasn't too long ago that I realized quality "kid-sized headphones" are slim pickens! She prefers over the ear headphones, so the trend of wireless buds don't help much. Also, with most devices removing the headphone jack, wireless is mandatory.
All that to say, these are the ticket. Just the right size with all the sound of their adult sized counterparts. My daughter is 5, and they fit very comfortably. She only wears them for up to an hour at a time, but during that period, there have been no complaints. When we use them for trips later down the line, I'm sure extended listening won't be an issue.
A great feature that I have envy for is the shared listening function. What a great idea! When my son is a bit older, this will be a must have feature for headphones going forward. Having a "splitter" built right into the headphones eliminates another adapter I need to carry. And should you need a wired pair of headphones, they convert to that, too. Great feature for future proofing headphones.
My daughter loves them, and I feel they are the right size and quality to warrant a purchase. Definitely recommend them.

So far, these have been game changers in my routine. Yes, it can be a bit tedious to get everything set up and packed away, but it is worth the inconvenience, by a long shot.
Upon opening, you'll get a pair of "boots," the charger, the compression unit, the connection hose and several adapters for voltage conversion. There is a quick start manual, and within minutes, I was up and running.

Hyperice claims that the boots are tough and can take a beating when hauling around. I have, thus far, found that to be true, but I would have preferred a travel bag of some sort instead of needing to purchase a separate backpack, but so far, not an issue.
My two major uses are for warm-up and recovery. There are many more modes to experiment with, but these are my bread and butter uses. From leg training to sprints to MMA, I immediately notice a difference in the time it takes to get my legs/hips warmed up. They use the term "fresher," and I completely agree. Even when I normally experience fatigue, a quick cycle and I'm feeling like I could put a few more miles on the workout. The recovery cycles are a bit longer than the units I've previously used (45 minutes vs 30 minutes), but given it's a reason to relax and recover, I'm not complaining. And the same sentiments apply here. After the cycle I'm less sluggish in my daily activities and can keep things moving.

Using the app, I've experienced no major issues. I had a connection problem here and there, but nothing a Bluetooth reset couldn't fix. For the majority of the time, it connects and works flawlessly. Being the control unit lacks an "advanced" HUD, the app suits nicely for visualization. But speaking of the HUD, it really isn't necessary. Everything you need to set is right on the control unit and simple to access. The app is just a nice cherry on top.
In addition to the leg attachment, I also recommend the Hip attachment. Once again, game changer. Combine these tools with my Hypervolt, and I am truly elevating my fitness and recovery.
A complaint? One, that is the same with many of the compression systems. I really would like a air escape function. Being that I sue these on the go, once the cycle of choice is complete, there is still enough air in the chambers to make folding/compressing a bit of a struggle. I usually can manually squeeze it out, but a vacuum mode is sorely missed. Not necessarily a negative, just wishful thinking.
In summation, these boots are well made, easy to operate and extremely useful. To any athlete or anyone looking to take care of their legs, I definitely recommend.

While this unit comes off as something you would want to put in a spare room, the sound can match up with the task of being on your main screen. This little mini packs a kick!
Not sure how they do, but I guess that's why they've gained their reputation in sound.
My wife is a fan from the form factor alone. Our soundbars have all been so long and/or clunky. To see the sleek profile of this mini sitting under the TV adds aesthetic that she prefers, and when I turn on the content, the sound that I desire.
My music, movies and games are so immersive in 3D mode. This speaker physically lacks the up firing speakers, but from the way it handles the Atmos content, you'd never tell. The vocals are clean and are layered perfectly with the music of any soundtrack. The voice leveling is so detailed I can cutoff the subtitles. Once again, not sure how they do it, but it definitely works.
From my youth, one thing Polk always had was the bass, and this woofer knocks! The best way to describe it is a "smooth" bass. Not too overpowering or overtly noticeable, but just the perfect blend of low frequency to sneak in on whatever you're watching/listening to. With it's slim form factor, it can easily fit in places the boxier subs can't with a much smaller footprint.
The controls are very responsive and the display on the soundbar is bright and very easy to read.
I had no issues connecting to BT and Google Home, and it's a great addition to the myriad of speakers intertwined throughout my home.
So, in summation, this may seem like it's a second rate soundbar by the "mini" size and title, but it's really not. It's capable of just about any set-up you throw at it. Later down the line, I may add the surrounds, but at this point, they aren't necessary for great, immersive sound. Very impressed.

Had a few small hiccups in initial set-up, but once I got going, the mounting and connecting went smoothly. I had them up and calibrating within 40 minutes just in time to surprise my daughter. Instructions were fairly thorough with support available should you need it. While I was setting up, my son was whining a bit. As soon as I got them on and colorful, he was mesmerized and pretty much gazed his way to a nap. Great bonus.
Once on, they are much brighter than I anticipated. My daughter likes to use as a night light, and they can't go past 5% brightness or it'll keep her up. But when she wants full blast, these can easily bathe the entire room in colored light.
The app is easy to navigate and I have yet to have an issue connecting. There are plenty of scenes and functions to fit any type of mood/situation with intuitive controls for modifying speed, direction and brightness. The custom lab let's you dive even further and my daughter is having a ball tinkering with the palette.
As expected, it syncs with Google Voice without a hitch. But be sure to setup a password within the app after you get the initial calibration. On initial set-up it doesn't require you to create one, but Google will need it.
For the most part, I've been fairly limited to Hue lights for uniformity, but these are a great addition to the home.

Great headphones with room to improve
Customer Rating
4.0
In terms of quality and sound, these rank among favs in my history of Bluetooth headphones. The bass is punchy and the voices are crisp. Whatever music type I've played thus far has sounded vibrant and full. The ANC noise cancellation works extremely when you can get it to operate(will touch on that later).
The headphones themselves have a great build quality. They've taken plenty of bumps thus far with no markings present on either the case or the actual headphones.
There are three areas where I worry about these types of headphones. The main is the fit and staying in place. Both here are present. Running, lifting, boxing, etc. I've only had a handful of "pop outs." But for the most part, whatever the activity, they stay comfortable and in place.
The second is the touch sensitivity. Like many others, the same problem persists, it can often be too sensitive. If I'm wearing a hoodie, and it the sweating starts, the shifting of the hood or collar will activate the headphones' functions. Pause and play being the main. It not major, but it does break up the continuity from time to time.
Which brings up the third possible issue. With other ANC headphones I've possessed, it's always the same problem. Some strange unseen condition will cause the music to skip, stop, "jerk" and bounce back and forth between earpieces. While it happens less here, it still happens.

The latter two above are part of not giving these 5 stars. The other is the app. The first time I connected to the headphones, I used the app. It was terrible. Dropouts every few minutes if I my phone went anything past 5 feet away. I closed the app, the headphones disconnected themselves, reconnected, and I have had a solid connection since. Now, whenever I sue the app for ANC function or EQ, I get spotty performance. This is a shame as the setting in the app are absolutely worth tinkering on the fly. Hopefully this will be fixed in the near future.
That being noted, I truly do like these headphones, and I find myself gravitating to them over my others daily. A few firmware/software updates, and they'll be perfect.

I used to build all types of desktops. Gaming, video editing, office, you name it, I was into it. Then full featured laptops became the norm and the "hobby" fell to the wayside. With the release of the newer RTX cards, and the further implementation of VR, I wanted to get back into the desktop scene. Being that I didn't necessarily enjoy building desktops, I wanted to see how far the "turn key" systems have come.
All that being said, this system is something I would have built. It's clean, sleek, eye catching, powerful and thoughtfully arranged and assembled. It has just about every port I would need(and several at that), complete with a pretty cool Wifi moving antenna interface. There is plenty of storage with both an SSD and a much larger higher RPM hard drive. Hits all my bells and whistles.
I have been using it consistently for a short time, and so far, I have had no issues. Heat dissipation has been fine with no overheating, and should I need to kick it up, there is plenty of fan power to get things back in line.

One thing that I found extraordinary is also the one area I was weakest at when I was building, the cabling. Everything would be running, but my guts were never configured so cleanly. All cables are neatly bundled and tucked for optimal usage and aesthetic. This may seem simple, but I love a clean, sharp looking system. Match that with the chroma lighting and transparent case side, I enjoy the look it adds to my office space. I also enjoy the handle!! Such a simple addition, but helps immensely when I need to move the system around. It's nothing new, but it is implemented well here.
This isn't my first ROG system, so I'm used to the installed software, ie. Armory Crate, and I actually use it for monitoring. No extra bloatware or virus protection and I appreciate that.
A note for the builders, and the curious DIYers. I installed an extra SSD and will most like add a liquid cooling system for extra assurance. The way the system is built, al is/will be easy to upgrade. No proprietary screws of ties, this is built for growth.
With this system, I can confidently detach my Alienware and go back to using it on the go. Speaking of which, this build costs less than both of my laptops with a beast of a video card to boot. I'm thoroughly impressed, and don't feel regretful at all for not building. I would definitely recommend to those gamers on the fence and anyone else looking for a great "out-of-the-box" system.

My current favorite PC gaming headset is the Razer Kraken V3. In essence, this is extremely similar with one major added bonus, Bluetooth switching.
Using in practice looks like this. I easily link to my PS4 and start playing. Once I finish the session, I press the Bluetooth switching button on the headset and I'm immediately connected to my tablet to go into my audio book. So far, it has been seamless. I previously was using some Jlab headphones for this purpose, but would have a glitch in switching/. The manual switch works so much better for me.
As for sound, these are on par with my V3s. Super comfy. Very immersive. High quality build. Amazing sound drivers. I honestly have no negatives thus far.
The games I've used for sound tests are Last Of Us 2 and good ole P.T. I've gone through P.T. before and was enamored by the sound design. Playing through with these is like a totally different experience. Hearing the spatial sounds and miniscule effects heighten the experience. I'm beginning to prefer these to using my speakers.
While the HyperSense can be noted as a gimmick, for a game like P.T. the added rolling rumble on low end frequencies(door slams), is a welcomed element of immersion, and I enjoy it. Not sure if it will be useful on the "battlefield," but it definitely adds atmosphere, and in gaming, the more immersive, the better the experience.
Battery life has exceeded expectations with charging every couple of days. Not out of necessity, but more out of habit. The final high note is having the added option to go wired should I choose. Wireless, Bluetooth, wired all in one with great sound to match. I'd happily recommend.

The title says it all. Sturdy and durable, this mixer has everything I need and then some.
Upon opening, the first thing I notice is the build. From the bowl, to the lid and all the attachments, everything is quality. In comparison to other mixers I have used, this feels up-to-par for a fraction of the usual cost.
Setup was straightforward and within minutes we were mixing up a batch of "dirt pudding" for Earth Day. Consistency of ingredients were smooth and even with no issues on speed variance.
I've whipped eggs and cream. Perfect. My favorite thus far has been mashed sweet potatoes. Once again, perfect consistency.
All pieces are easy to clean, and with the easy open hinge, dismantling and storing is a non issue. I haven't been able to try an extra attachments, but I appreciate that GE took the steps to make the attachment slot universal. Being able to use other brand's fun attachments is a great added feature.
Great power with a good variation of speeds and attachments would definitely have me recommending it to others. This is a quality machine.

This is a great work companion for various situations. Giving a presentation, making a call and/or simply increasing the amount of ports available on your system, the hub fits the bill…with a caveat or two.
The first thing noticed while unboxing is the construction. Solid build with raised buttons. The unit itself is about the size of a standard circular wireless charger. My initial worry would be the buttons wearing down over time, but time will tell. I do appreciate Dell included a case specifically designed to carry and protect the hub.
Upon plugging into my devices, it was recognized and useable right away. For my usage, I used a Windows notebook computer, a Samsung Note 20 Ultra and a Samsung S7+ tablet. All had no issues recognizing the device. With all devices, it should be noted that it is recognized as a external speaker, so all audio will be routed through the speakerphone. Makes sense to do that, but it is worth noting.
LEDs are bright and vibrant and the buttons are very responsive. Call quality was fantastic and the 360 mic works as described. Participants can be heard from all directions and all equally amplified. For speakerphone usage, it surpasses my expectations.

All had no issues recognizing the device. With all devices, it should be noted that it is recognized as a external speaker, so all audio will be routed through the speakerphone. Makes sense to do that, but it is worth noting.
LEDs are bright and vibrant and the buttons are very responsive. Call quality was fantastic and the 360 mic works as described. Participants can be heard from all directions and all equally amplified. For speakerphone usage, it surpasses my expectations.
For the hub aspect, minus a connection or two, it has everything I need to connect, display and share on the go. What I “wish” it had is an ethernet port and a dedicated card reader. Being I can get by or bypass these features through the connected device, I do not hold that against it. The speakerphone is far more valuable to offset those setbacks.
The other huge plus is this hub can output 4K at 60HZ. 30HZ is the norm for most of the all-in-one hubs I’ve come across, So I was pleasantly surprised. The next upvote is the option to display via HDMI or DisplayPort. That’s one less adapter I need to carry. But note, you can only output to one monitor at a time, but at least you have the option for different set-ups.
The only downside I experienced is the configurations. If you don’t use an external power adapter, you won’t be able to use certain devices, mainly being SSD drives. Thumb drives work just fine, but with the gradual increase of usage of USB-C SSD drives, it would have been nice to simply plug and play through the hub. If you use the hub as a power passthrough connecting a power adapter to the USB-C port of the hub, you gain the SSD function, but you’ll lose the USB-C connector to use and will need to convert via a USB adapter to use on the USB ports. The happy medium is to connect to a monitor through DisplayPort, which will give power for everything and offer a competent display should no power adapter be available. Of course there is a workaround for all these scenarios, but if you’re on the go and need quick set-ups, you’ll need to master your configurations for optimal usage.
But, that’s it! I would definitely recommend this little powerhouse to any professional looking to fill this niche. Another plus, if your internal speakers a low quality, this will give your audio a nice boost.
