Believe it or not I’m not a big time gamer.
But I do like to explore things that I normally don’t have easy access to.
Did a search on Google to find out more about the headset.
Found a Mashable blog that provides several non gaming apps to try.
One is Apollo 11 which recreates the mission to the moon.
Another one is Ocean Rift which explores underwater habitats.
The county library system where I live hired someone to handle Oculus VR.
I met him at a technology showcase that was held at one library.
Later I found out I can sign up for a free 30 minute session to learn more about VR.
Looking foward to learning more about this exciting technology.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Images for this Review
(click to see full-size image)
UPS did the honor of delivering the package to me.
They are usually careful about putting the package on my front door mat without slamming it down like FedEx Ground. And they keep it away from the rain too.
Noticed the nice clear product box Insignia usually uses. Product box fits snugly in the cardboard shipping box. Maybe that’s why I didn’t see a dented corner on the outside box ?
Took time to read the start up guide.
Lots of built in control features on the left ear piece. Headset is very comfortable so no problem using it for long periods of time.
A pleasant surprise is that there is no required app to adjust settings. This speeds up the learning curve for the device in my opinion.
I have a long USB cord plugged into a Wi-Fi power strip that charged the device.
Minor point but device uses a Micro USB port for charging. Not like the USB-C ports that are showing up on competitors. Some people prefer this. I know I do even tho I have USB wall.chargers for my two Pixel phones and Pixel Stand.
Device charged up in less than 45 minutes so must have come with a partial charge.
Product is foldable but doesn’t come with a soft shell, zippered case with D-ring.
No issue as I can always get one cheap online. They start at $6.99 and provide a handy way of storing the included charging cable. But that’s not a big deal.

SOUND
Paired with Bluetooth settings on my Pixel 3XL phone the first time I tried.
Noticed very good bass.
Just for good measure I used the included 3.5 mm cord and used it on my phone with the adapter that came with said phone. No issues encountered.
NOISE CANCELLATION
Next step was to turn on my living room TV and set sound to 20.
Then pressed ANC (auto noise cancellation) button on left ear piece. Played YouTube Music Epic Film Scores free radio station. I could hear the music clearly without background noise interference.
Did have to turn up sound level on phone tho.
THE VERDICT
Everything works as intended so will keep product in my Chromebook carrying backpack for now.
I definitely feel I lucked out big time with these earphones !
I would recommend this to a friend!

First thing I did was put them on.
Passed the comfort test. Very picky about this.
Plastic construction. Maybe too much plastic makes product feel cheap ?
Extra bass appreciated as I listen to Epic Film Scores on Google Play Music app.
Competitive long battery life up to 30 hours. You can continue to use the headset even when it’s out of power with the supplied cable.
With the app you can optimize sound settings. I used Bluetooth to pair the headsets to my Pixel 3XL phone. Listened to Epic Film Scores on YouTube music. It was great. Didn’t even try to adjust sound settings in the app.
You can also use NFC to pair the headset with your bluetooth device (ie. mobile phone)
You can use this product with Google Assistant or Amazon Alexa.
Wish it came with a carrying case. But you can get one pretty cheap online. Also no foldable feature to save space while transporting the headset.
This is a winner in the great Sony lineup of headsets.
I would recommend this to a friend!

First thing I noticed is the charging port is USB-C which is very unusual.
The documentation is amongst the best I have seen recently. Very easy to understand and painless to use.
My wall charger for my Pixel 1 phone was nearby so I used it to charge the headset. There is a charging cable included in the box which I found later on.
I then installed the Jabra Sound+ app for my Pixel 3XL.
I wore the headset to pair it to the Pixel 3 XL smartphone. It was easy.
Brochure states up to 36 hours (with ANC on) & fast charge (5 hours in 15 min)
ANC = Smart Active Noise Cancellation to block unwanted background noise.
ANC = Smart Active Noise Cancellation to block unwanted background noise.
Smart Sound audio automatically adapts to surroundings.
I can say the touch controls to increase/decrease sound volume was easy the first time I tried it.
Really like the semi hard shell carrying case. Takes up more space than a bag but offers more protection.
Pressed the small button on left earpiece and heard “ANC”. Played the news on sound volume 35 on cable TV. ANC did work. TV is 8’ from where I was sitting.
When I turned down the sound on the TV to 20 the headset worked better. TV is in family room which is next to the kitchen table. Most of our waking hours is spent here and 20 is where we normally set the sound.
Sound quality is good but there’s lots of competition out there.
Oh one last thing. This headset is very comfortable to wear. Very important to keep in mind when shopping for such a product.
Overall I recommend this product for it’s thoughtful design and innovative features.

Sony likes to sell sound gear with extra bass.
This product is no exception.
It’s also waterproof and dustproof so good for the outdoors.
Up to 16 hours of battery life.
A small and light design.
You can also add a second speaker for stereo sound.
There’s an older model with many user reviews so a track record to follow.
I’m all for great sound in a small package.
So I’m not disappointed.

Came in a large box considering the size of the webcam.
Hooked it up to my Chromebox and went to a webcam testing website to make sure it works.
It does.
It does.
No drivers needed to run on Chrome OS.
Logitech Capture Software available to download but won’t work with Chromebox as no third party software can be installed on it.
Too bad Chrome OS can’t work with a 1080p webcam. Only 720p but that’s OK because I’m confident that someday Chrome OS will support 1080p webcams on a Chromebox.
Privacy shade nice.
So are two stereo mics
I usually go on 1-2 Google Hangouts every week.
So far so good. People can see and hear me clearly.
This is my third webcam from Logitech.
Glad to have another winner to use

Shipping weight on FedEx showed 16 lbs. So expected a large portable bluetooth speaker.
And that is exactly what I got.
Sound quality similar to a full size Marshall Bluetooth speaker I got a while ago.
Only it takes up less space and has a handy carrying handle.
This is a good listening option for people who live in multiple places.
No need to compromise when listening to your tunes.

Came in a very heavy box.
Handsome looking set of cookware I must say.
Non stick set carries a lifetime warranty.
We don’t have a lot of space to work with at my Mother’s house which was built in the 60’s.
Two family members do a lot of cooking so the cookware will be seeing a lot of action.

A good effort to help save $ on toner.
Took a bit of time to get set up. Must squeeze toner out of each bottle.
Able to print once from Pixel 3XL phone and Windows 10 laptop but not Chromebox.
Too bad because my Chromebox is a home business machine.

Chromebox also on a wired connection and not excited about switching to Wi-Fi.
Chromebox also not Android compatible.

Google Assistant supported on this model. Kudos to Canon. Also supports Google Cloud Print too.
Didn’t think a Gmail printout looked very good.
Still for the right supported devices/OS and skillset, I would recommend trying this printer.

I just got a second AARIS Surfboard Cable Modem & Wi-Fi Router for my 724 sf one bedroom condo. Built-in Wi-Fi router powerful enough to get the job done.
Easy to set up using Android app on Pixel 3XL phone.
May take a little time for your ISP to recognize and activate the device but I got email stating I was good to go.
Also use the device in a 2 story 2500 sf house with Wi-Fi mesh routers (nodes) with no issues.
Saving $12 p/mo for modem (gateway) ISP rentals (x2) in both properties.
Have never paid for a modem (gateway) routers from my ISP. Why should I ?
