Replaced an old bluetooth speaker with this beast. Just a heads up, it’s relatively big, but this thing feels built to last!
Taking it out I was amazed at the detail put into its creation. This thing looks dead on for a smaller version of a Marshall amp. And then it’s just plug in and go. Turn the volume knob, hold the sync button down for a bit and select it on your device! Boom! Instant music!
I was a little concerned about the lack of equalizer ability. It only has bass and treble knobs. But that does not deter this device from putting out quality sound at low and high volumes alike. It’s crisp with very little distortion on either side of the range.
As for the battery life…. I have yet to recharge this thing and have used it for approximately 12-15 hours. The very conspicuous battery indicator still shows plenty of life.
If you’re looking for a lightweight, tiny speaker, this is not it. But if you’re looking for a wireless option for high quality sound at an outdoor event or anything else similar, you can’t go wrong. Highly! Highly recommend!

I have not upgraded Adobe Photoshop Elements in many years. Opening this program for the first time was a bit of culture shock. The home screen initially seemed to lack many of the features that I was used to. As with other Adobe products, it is basically a requirement to set up an Adobe ID to use the product. These are the only two negatives I can find for this program.
When you initially set up, if you include a folder where your photos are stored they are automatically scanned and awaiting your beckon call. From what I’ve read from other reviews, the features from this version are almost identical to the previous version. But, as I said, I’ve upgraded from the Adobe Photoshop Elements that Benjamin Franklin used, so I had a noticeable difference.
One of the biggest features I’ve noticed is the ability to create various designs using multiple pictures. I could go into detail, but I would rather suggest going on Youtube and learning for yourself. It would probably serve you better.
But as Adobe goes, it has and in my opinion still is with this package, the go-to program for avid amateur photographers and the side job professional. Anyone who purchases this program should be able to use it right out of the box.

Look. I get it. The price on this headset should be considered to tamper your expectations on a product. But I expect more from Logitech. I utilize this product on a Playstation 4 Pro with OEM controllers. Having utilized Platronics, Turtle Beach and other Logitech headsets in the past, this may be my least favorite.
Looking at sound quality first. It's adequate at best. I play hunting games a lot. I need to be able to hear very low decibel sounds crisply to distinguish where they're coming from and how close they are. Not possible with this headset. I've had better luck using an earbud headset. The highest volume level is actually pretty good. I've had problems with other better quality headsets not getting loud enough.
As for comfort, the quality is average, and not long lasting. With other moderate level headsets, you almost don't feel the headsets after a while. When wearing these, I am constantly aware that I am wearing them. I have to readjust them continuously because of discomfort.
I would not recommend this headset to someone. I would recommend looking at another brand or paying a little more for a higher quality item.

This router replaced a Netgear Nighthawk with two DSTs (Dead Spot Terminators). The difference so far has been incredible. The mesh network seamlessly switches between the router and the VLOP Nodes effortlessly and without lag. Only having one WiFi SSID instead of different ones for 5-G and each DST makes it much more simplistic.
Simplicity is key when dealing with the phone app and setup as well. It's a clean looking interface on both accounts, however, for the expert, there might be a few features lacking. For example, living in an urban area I wanted to turn off my WiFi Broadcast, so my WiFi wasn't seen by everyone. I have yet to find this feature.
But I can attest that this router can keep up with the constant traffic of our household. We have multiple game systems, Roku, Nest Products and cell phones on the system at one time. With upwards of 50+ devices being connected at one time, our 4K movies are still streaming perfectly.

***Pre-Face: If you’re a nerd like me and read all the directions, you’ll notice it says something about a charging base. I did a little research online and couldn’t find one to purchase which leads me to believe it was a typo created from reusing direction for another trimmer.***
This is a serious trimmer that’s worth the little extra. I’ve had a full size trimmer or used my shaving razor for most of my trimming needs until now. With this little baby, that will most likely change. The two different sized heads are perfect for detailed trimming. Setting the length is simple with the rotating and snapping dial. Clean up is easy with it catching about 80-90% of the trimmings.
The ability to have a five minute quick charge for one trimming session makes it so you’re not out of luck when the battery runs out. Even then, it’s charged within an hour. I can’t say much more. I’m thoroughly impressed by every aspect of this device. Oh! And when it comes to noise, for trimmers, this thing is at a whisper!

I needed a new charger. Plain and simple. The old Rocketfish charger I had in my car that is not made any more was way outdated, to the point where my USB-C phones recognized it as a “slow charger”. Step in Anker. I did not get this for the bells and whistles. I had utilized my share of FM transmitter Bluetooth devices. They were always annoying to turn on and keep charged. The sound quality was subpar as well, typically. With my lack of success, I just assumed I would lay down big bucks and get a Bluetooth enabled radio at some point. The Anker changed my mind.
First and foremost, it satisfied my charging needs with two ports that I assume are fast chargers, with the speed at which it charges. Secondly, the FM transmitter works pretty darn good. You’re never going to get high quality from an FM transmitter, but this one is admirable. The app could use for some equalizer additions (bass, mids, treble, loudness, etc). And for some reason the sound from the Anker is way quieter than my other inputs. But it does the job.
It should be noted that when downloading the app for this device, make sure you download the correct one. I’m sure it said it somewhere in the limited directions, but there are I think three different Anker apps. Maybe it was just me….
I am a little disappointed in devices like this linking themselves to one smart application (ie. Alexa, Siri, Google Assistant). While I could still use Google Assistant, it would have been much nicer to use it as an integrated platform on this device.
This is my first product from Anker. Although the device doesn’t have the finished/polished production that would reach 5 stars, I would continue to research the company again for other purchases.

We have a lot of home automation products that work with Google, to include, Nest, Logitech and Lutron products along with two google minis already in place.
We put the smart bulb in my daughter's room. She uses her phone to control the bulb, either by voice or through slides on the screen. While it works fine for her, I would rather have the ability to have a physical remote to go along with the phone. Lutron provides accessory remotes to go along with there Caseta lighting system. If that option were available for this product I would have given it five stars.

This is my second pair of bluetooth in-ear headphones. The other I own is a set of BeatsX. The only reason I bring this up is to say my standards were set pretty high by my past experience and my review may be skewed because of this.
The first thing I noticed when unpacking is the proprietary charger. In this day and age I do not understand the necessity of having anything but a USB or Lightning charging cord. Having to carry another charging cable around is an unnecessary burden. However, charging time is quick so downtime is lessened.
At first, I did not download the Jaybird app. Even without it, installation was a breeze. However when I played my first song the sound quality was horrible! It was tinny with no bass. I decided to give the app a whirl and am glad I did. The app was easy to use and intuitive. I was able to customize the sound as I played a song. It was immediately better! The quality and the loudness were just a sliver below my BeatsX. The app also gives you the ability to see battery life and other items which is helpful.
In reference to comfort level, the app gives you tips and pointers to adjust to your liking. Luckily, mine fit pretty well right out of the box. However, others may not have the same luck and the lack of different sized ear buds may lessen comfort. The headset itself is lightweight and comfortable. It has a small band on the back to cinch up the extra cable going from ear to ear, to provide a more secure fit.
The button programming still has me baffled. Again, maybe it is just my past experience with my BeatsX. Where the BeatsX seem a little more common sense, where each button does a set of actions that seem appropriately paired, the Jaybirds almost feel like I’m entering a password into my phone. I’m constantly hitting the wrong button to change tracks or answer the phone, etc.
Overall, this is a solid choice for ear buds. They’re nothing that are going to blow you out of the water, but a slightly above average choice nonetheless. I am constantly working in the yard and going to the gym so these get a lot of use. It will be interesting to see how well they hold up.

I see a lot of reviews have gone into depth, so I will not bore you with another review of technical details. This is the first GoPro I’ve owned even though I’ve contemplated a purchase for a very long time. But it’s exactly what I expected when I thought GoPro. A simple, rugged machine that takes amazing video! And when I say amazing, I mean Ah - MAZ – ING!!!
If you’re looking for a Go Pro to take still videos, that’s like looking to buy a Ferrari to haul a horse trailer. It’s simply not made for that. The GoPro is made for fast moving video. The revamped stabilization feature creates freakishly smooth video.
I will admit that having no experience prior to this, it took me a while to figure out how to use it since the instructions in the box are bare bones. Youtube videos help a lot! It does come with a USB-C charging cable, but that’s it. Make sure you buy a memory card and have the proper power plug to get power to the USB-C for charging and of course any accessories you would like as well.
Cell phones can’t hold a match to what this thing can do with video. And speaking of which, if you’re looking to take pictures, that’s precisely what the cellphone is capable of! Don’t attempt to order a hamburger at a sushi joint!

To be quite honest, I am a little spoiled by the ease and quality of my Nest camera that I use as my primary baby camera. But this camera is good for everyday use as well. We have used it for travel when the Nest camera is just not an option.
Just like your typical baby monitor, it is on a proprietary signal, linking the receiver to the transmitter. It has the ability to detect sound and movement, alerting the monitor to both. The camera is able to articulate different directions to get a better angle. It has the ability to be mounted, although we never did.
Again, the quality is great for a standard baby monitor, however, having had the Nest camera, I couldn’t go to this.

Bring your television audio to life without compromising the beauty of the room. As an alternative to traditional sound bars or bookshelf speakers, this system allows you to enjoy premium television audio while hiding the electronics and wiring in the wall and behind the TV. This package includes two in-wall speakers with paintable grilles; when painted, the speakers almost disappear into the surrounding space. The included Sonos amp provides 125 watts of power per channel, which lets you enjoy high-resolution sound from the Sonance speakers. Also included is an in-wall power kit that brings power to the entire system without calling an electrician. A metal back box is provided to hold the in-wall power kit, Sonos AMP®, and system electronics with extra room for streaming video devices like Apple TV® or Roku®.
Can you attach a sub to this system as well for extra bass, or are you stuck with just the 2 included speakers? And is the amp powerful enough for a sub?
Yes. You can either hard wire a third-party sub via the output or purchase a Sonos sub for wireless connection. I personally recommend the Sonos sub. Have one on a different system and love it!

Does this have a power (off/on) switch? I'd like to leave it plugged in all the time & just turn the switch on when needed - is that an option?
I'd like to have the drive plugged in (usb & power) and just turn the device on via a power switch to activate - does this come with a built in on/off switch?
It powers up only when being utilized. Otherwise, it is in a standby mode until something tries to access it. No "hard" power on/off switch.

Save plenty of media and other files on this WD My Book external hard drive, which features a 3TB capacity for ample storage space. WD SmartWare Pro software backs up your files automatically for simple use.
Can this Drive be used for more than one computer, one with Windows 7 and another with Windows XP?
I have a Desktop with Windows XP Media Center Edition32 bit and a Laptop with Windows 7 Pro 64 bit. Can the same External Drive be used for backing up from both these computers?
The short answer is yes. If you use a router that has a USB port for a network drive, simply plug it in and follow your routers directions. If not, you would have to "share" the drive to the other computer. If all of this sounds to complicated I would spend the little extra a get a MyBook Live or MyBook World. They connect to your router through a ethernet cable and are ready to run immediately.
