High quality sound and comfortable, all-day listening in a wireless headphone. The WH-CH520 have an ultra-long battery life of up to 50 hours and a 3-minute quick charge gives you up to 1.5 hours of audio playback.
Great Sound and Great Value!

Great headphones for casual listening. Excellent battery life too! Mids and Bass are definitely synthesized, but for use with my Samsung Tab, it definitely is better than ear buds. Definitely will be replacing my coffee table ear buds that I always seem to misplace.
The packaging states 360 Reality Audio. This is not a feature you can just turn on. It requires the Sony App to be installed and then requires your to run a setup, which includes the app taking pictures of your ears to give you the best sound experience, where they upload the pics to their servers to be analyzed and stored and then create the sound profile for your personal experience. Truth is, I cannot know if this is really being done because you cannot access the feature unless you run this setup. Then once it is done, it tells you which apps it is compatible with...which happen to be none that I use...which only 6 or 7 were listed. On the Sony's product website though Amazon Music Premium (not included with Prime) was listed. I could test this feature being a Prime member for free for 3 months so I gave it shot.
Once in the music app, it will display which songs have 360. And honestly, I didn't actually care for the 360 version of the songs, it made it feel more hollow. I jumped back and forth between the SD and lossless Ultra HD versions of the song and then compared to YT Music versions. Overall I preferred the non-360 versions.
They don't list any video streaming apps that work with the 360 audio feature, but watching the demo via YouTube it doesn't sound like (no pun intended) that it is a goal. This is a licensed feature, so I'm guessing this is supposed to be a Dolby Atmos competitor for music listening. I tested Spiderman Into the Spiderverse via Movies Anywhere app and it did sound really good and picked up on the left right channels. The YouTube demo I mentioned, does add layers to the basic 2 channel setup, that makes it feel like it is spacial audio, but truthfully I didn't feel like an immersive experience.
I feel like my testing of the audio apps was more true to life than their demo.
My review rating I struggled with as I am not a fan of "walled garden" approach to extra feautres that are not explicity stated on the packaging and then getting into the app it was a bit complicated a first to get the ear photos taken. But the more I understand that this is a new technology/feature and has not been fully adopted by the industry, the fact that they are including this feature in this price range is also something to note.
I do like the compactness of these compared to some other brands and while definitely not as compact as ear buds, the earpieces do rotate to lay flat, so putting in a backpack or just lying on the table will make for a slimmer profile.
They are definitely more comfortable than earbuds in my opinion and long movie sessions won't cause ear fatigue.
One thing I think most can agree with is you cannot go wrong with Sony. They have always represented a premium brand along with premium quality!

The Logi K585 keyboard has been pretty slick jumping between devices.
The device tray is neat, but I don’t know how practical it would be for regular use as any device will sit in the tray and will not see the full screen. In portrait mode, this is way less of an issue, but maybe in landscape it could be more of one. It will fit the largest of smartphones on the market today no problem; check your case dimensions though. I am using a OnePlus 10T with a very slim Aramid Fiber case (0.6mm) and it has a little room to spare. If you are rocking anything bulky though the tray won’t be your friend.
I could see a folding phone being beneficial, again if it wasn’t rocking a large case, to sit in the tray area. Or even running a Samsung phone in DEX mode and wirelessly casting to a screen could be a benefit. I couldn’t test this scenario out, but can definitely see the benefit.
I did not try this keyboard with a phone as I have never found it very practical typing on a phone screen. I’ve seen others with collapsible keyboards, but that has not really been necessary for me.
I did try running both connections of Bluetooth: 1=Samsung Tablet 2=ASUS laptop, I was able to pair the keyboard, but I could not get keyboard to type characters even though during the setup process I had to type in the BT Pairing Code that was displayed on my Screen. Using Win10 with latest updates. I switched to the USB Receiver option and immediately it found the receiver and Logi asked to install the keyboard software that allows you to check battery life and reprogram the hot keys.
Overall the keyboard is great and the keys have nice tactile feedback and are very quiet.
I like that it has an on/off switch too to conserve battery power. I will mostly use this with my tablet and leave it in my living room.

Good Dash Cam, But Bad Companion App

This is my first dash cam, so nothing to compare to, but I think it will work for my needs just fine. Two new drivers in the house, so definitely worth the investment.
My low rating has to do with trying to access the playback footage on anything: Android (Pixel 7 Pro) device, laptop, and issues with getting an Android App.
The settings menu is pretty extensive and I missed the part where it records in 1, 2, or 3 minute increments; default is 1 minute. I do wish the footage was combined in a side by side or upper and lower when the files are formatted. Since there is a front and interior camera, there are double files each time it records. It will overwrite them as it fills up, so its not necessary to have to delete them all the time.
File formats don’t play nicely in Google Photos app, the audio cuts out, but the video plays smoothly. Playing it in the Rexing App the audio plays fine, but the play back is definitely not 4K, more like 360p…it's pretty rough.
Transferring the videos to a Windows computer, the format is not supported to play in the default video player. For $1 you can get the HEVC codec necessary, however, that would only play the video w/out audio. VLC Player did just fine.
Software
Getting the Rexing App, it does not exist on Google Play Store. There is a Rexing Home App on the Play Store, but the the QR Code in the instructions was not valid and searching for it in the Play Store only brings up the Rexing Home App. They have the .APK on their website though for Android devices. Can’t say I am a big fan of that, if there are any vulnerabilities with the app, then you cannot get updates unless you go and check on their website for a new version. I uninstalled the app as it really isn’t much help and there is a MicroSD card reader included so you can transfer to a PC or other device that way.

I also ran into the issue of getting the SSID and Password info from camera screen. The instructions showed a black screen with white lettering, but when I followed the steps I kept missing the info on the screen as it only displayed that info in the lower left of the screen and it was white lettering, which was really hard to read on the screen with the display showing the outside.
Quality of Recordings
The exterior recording is fine, but the interior color is way off, not sure if this is for a night recording, as I have not done that yet, but it has a purple flare; it is pretty clear though.

I think for a first dash cam this is pretty good. I definitely wouldn’t bother with the Android App; it is not necessary for setup and use.
Voice Control
Works very well! Each command works just fine and every time and chimes when it follows the command.
Works very well! Each command works just fine and every time and chimes when it follows the command.
I gave it 2 Stars overall for the issue with the App and trying to view the videos with the formatting. I get using the HEVC as it is common for 4K surveillance cameras too, but it takes too much to try and view and the instructions don’t help you there; I’ve ran into this with other devices so knew what to try. If the App actually played the video in a good quality and didn’t have the date/info stamp covering the entire thing it may be worth it, but it’s not.
Based off the actual performance of the device though I think it functions very well. I did get the camera a little off placement as it should have gone a little more to the right. When I drive my daughters car it sees the driver, but I didn’t think about her sliding her seat forward more, so she will not be visible.
Rexing sells for $7 (Plus $12 shipping) a suction mount. Honestly if I would have known that I would have gone with that first. I went ahead and ordered 3 of them so we can move the dash cam between vehicles if necessary.

I am conflicted with this vac; it works fine on hard surfaces. Looking at the claims, it will live up to them on hard surfaces, but transition to soft, like carpet and couches, no bueno, especially for pet hair.
The vac does not have enough suction power on carpet and when switching to wand with attachment it doesn’t have a roller brush/lint style attachment so it cannot pull the pet hair out, it can only try and suck it out.
I feel like Shark is a little misleading in their characterization of this vac given the box pictures and claims.
I cannot recommend this if you have a pet on two fronts one as stated its not powerful enough. That is not to say it doesn’t pick up pet hair, but it takes multiple passes to feel like it has been cleaned. The second reason is because the canister is so small. While the "no dust" canister is great, the mechanism that collects the dust will at some point require dumping and then it will have dust.
I cannot recommend if you have a lot of carpet. Again because it doesn’t have enough suction power and it requires multiples passes.
I cannot recommend if you have a large home. For reasons listed above, it is not going to clean your whole home in one go.
I CAN recommend this if you want a vac for cleaning small spaces with all or mostly hard surfaces.
Honestly, my first impressions was simply the old Dust Buster that every home had in the 80’s and 90’s. They were great will you spilled the dry cereal or had a some dirt on your shoes, etc. The Shark WandVac is definitely a huge upgrade over those old vacs, but still fits that niche of use.
I would see this as an Assistant to the Manager, has it use, but not the main vac in the house and never will be.
Hope my 2 cents help!

Another pair of “talk buds” masquerading as headphones…that is a good thing. The audio is great and the mics work really well. The Jabra Sound+ App is nice and helpful with the backend features.
Had to manually turn on the buds to get them to pair, which is not what the graphic printed in the package showed. The buds come with a protector over the charging leads so they do not turn when you open the case or remove the protection over the leads. I dropped the buds back in the case, closed the case, and then started to try and get them to turn on and pair per the printed graphic, but it didn’t work. This was like a whole 2 minutes of my life, so once paired by manually turning them on, there have been no issues.
Fitment is nice, I am using the stock size silicone tips, which looks like a medium compared to the other two options included. Since these are not designed for a sport use, there isn’t any sort of “wing” to lock on to upper interior of the ear, however, I wiped down my car after going through the car wash and I never felt like they were going to fall out. They go pretty deep into the canal and retain a good fit. For intended use, I will say they should be just fine for longer sessions of conference calls and the like.
There is no included charger brick (like most things these days), but there is the wireless charger pad (Qi). It takes an input of 5V @2Amp (10w) and Outputs 5V @1Amp (5w). The earbud case also has a USB-C charge option and a cable is included. The specs state that it takes 180 minutes to charge, but does not specify if that is via wireless or USB-C. There are not power ratings on the case, in the box, on the box, or on the manufacturer website. So I cannot quantify what the power input via USB-C should be. My guess is that it will be the same as the wireless pad since the included USB-C cable is short and to be used to charge from a laptop/dock.
I tend to use headphones (wireless earbuds) a lot when on the phone, but only use one bud. With these the benefit is in using both buds simultaneously. They do work independently, but the controls are spread between the two so you will only get half functionality.

I had high expectations for the clarity of voice and audio on calls both via phone and pc. What I wasn’t expecting was great audio for other content too! Truly impressed by the versatility of this headset. I did not try with gaming which would be a great blend of both types of content, not going to say it will immerse you in the audio like a dedicated set but if you need to watch the budget the 4320C’s could definitely play multiple roles for your needs. I love that it has the ability to dock and charge even though that is an added expense.
There is one caveat with this unit and that comes down to the speaker coverings…they are not breathable. Which translates into sweaty/moist ear. After 30 minutes of use it is very noticeable, so longer sessions I can only imagine. Taking a two minute break every 30 minutes may be possible depending on your work needs, but if the meeting is going to be longer than that, then you may need to slide one side off at a time and give rest.
I docked two stars for this because that feels like some heavy oversight considering the intended use for the product and possible long term viability of the material used. The material is definitely soft, so at least no scratchiness too with the humidity build up.
I can still recommend them as the audio and call/mic quality is great, but just know the ear issue.

Really convenient charger for laptop and mobile devices. I’ve included the specific charging configurations in the photo section.
Overall, it does appear to charge at the advertised speeds, just make sure you have a cable that can handle the 65W supply which the only phones I can recall right now that has that currently are the OnePlus phones; pretty sure the Galaxy S22 Ultra is 45w, but not sure about the S22 and S22+. Also, that 45w capability does not come with charger in the box and neither is the cable included capable.
I am using Anker’s 100W 6ft charging cable and am getting the charging times I am used for both single charge use for laptop and dual charge use for dual when charging my Note 20 and Tab S7…however in dual use they do not charge at the Super Fast (25W) but the Fast Charging (18W I think).
The device uses Programmable Power Supply (PPS) to regulate the charging speeds, which is a part of the USB 3.0 Power Delivery protocol.
I don’t always charge my devices…but when I do, I only use Insignia.
And with the Insignia NS-PW36C2W22 I’ve never felt more free while tethered to the wall!

This is my third edition to our setup, which definitely helps from having to share.
The sound output is great and indoors can definitely fill a room and outside by the pool is super convenient and no worries about it getting wet…it really does float!
Only 2 Booms can be linked, but it is still a pretty cool feature.
Battery life: I cannot comment on hitting 14 hours, I definitely don’t use it that long at one use, but I can definitely use it for hours at a time on different occasions and it lasts each time I need it too. After the third use is typically when I will charge. Charging time is quite slow, there is no fast charge capability, so give yourself at least 2 hours to reach top charge if you're planning on being out and using it extensively for the day. Also, the included charger cable is the best one to use. I’ve tried in the past using my included phone cable and the port cut out dimensions are pretty tight; the included cable fits, unfortunately it is a little short, so charger on a countertop with a close outlet. The cable does fit the cut-out perfectly, I don’t know if it offers any IP rating still, but considering how deep the charge port is, the design of the cable will definitely make it difficult for any dust or liquid to get to the charging port using the supplied cable.
Charging Cable: UE is still using a Micro-USB port and not a USB-C. For me having multiple Boom’s, this is definitely helpful, but if you're just buying one, you’ll definitely need to keep that cable handy.
I can easily recommend this speaker. Pairing with my Galaxy Note 20 was super easy and these speakers have always been super quick to connect.
I can easily recommend this speaker. I docked 1 Star because by now, UE should have some sort of faster charging capability, but seeing as they are sticking with Micro-USB therein lies the charging limitations.

Works Great, Bit of Learning Curve

My goal for a smartscreen was to allow for easy access to upload photos from different people. The NixPlay UI has three different sharing methods and if the goal is for photos to automatically go to a Frame and a Playlist, then you want to share the Playlist that you intend to use, not share the Frame or just add Friends. It would be nice it if just had a primary share feature with custom privileges, it would definitely keep the redundancy of having to send multiple requests to just one and streamline the whole process.
I can immediately recommend this for anyone that would be thinking for a grandparent or parent that may not be technologically inclined. While it is not hard to get up and running, there is a bit of a learning curve to the UI and its full abilities. The ability though to remotely uploaded to the Frame is pretty cool and have other people contribute. The settings has options to play on Photos in a list, the newest 100, 1000, 2000…and so on. I was thinking 30-50 range would suffice if this is cycling all day.
It has the ability to have Date/Time on the screen, set a sleep schedule, and also a screen time out feature if there is no activity in the room. The last one I don’t really see the need for as my goal would be on all the time, except for when everyone is sleeping.
The included documentation is very light on what the Frame can do and how to navigate around it, so that is where the learning curve comes in. There is a Micro-USB port that is on the device but there is no mention of what it is for; the AC Adapter has its own port. Possibly just another charging port, but I didn’t attempt to do anything with it. There is no documentation on the storage size for the device itself as i don’t think it has an user accessible storage. Under the Account Info screen it show Storage Usage, Frames count, and Shared Playlist count; 10GB, 5 Total, and 5 Total respectively.
There is an option to link to Google Photos, but to be honest, I wasn’t too keen on setting this feature up as it does get quite a bit of access to your Google account. The allure to have this link is that it is easier to share a Google Photos folder and have people upload to it than asking people to setup a NixPlay account and send photos via it (NixPlay does have a browser option too, so downloading the App is not necessary). Also if the photos are just played via the Google folder then they may not be necessary to be uploaded to the NixPlay server?
If it doesn’t need this then effectively you could potentially never need more NixPlay storage. The included 10GB with the free account is not bad though. Videos would definitely eat up more of that storage, but resolution is only 1280x720 (720x1280) depending on orientation of the Frame and that’s not going to eat up a lot of space at 15s a clip.
There are other perks to upgrading to a paid subscription, but you can decide if it is best for your needs.
The touchscreen aspect is nice to control the device and access all the same settings available from the app, so once it is setup and attached to an account (which it can only be attached to one account at a time), WiFi settings and screen control settings, etc can be accessed directly through the frame.
Video feature…this is actually cooler than I thought it would be and at max audio, it is loud enough, but not too loud. The Free Account Subscription allows 15s of video playback which I think is pretty good. I uploaded a full 1 minute video and it clipped it to the 15s. Depending on your internet upload speeds videos can take awhile, so probably best to trim them before uploading and you get the 15s of time you want. The NixPlayer App has a built-in editor so this can be done then; it also allows you to play the clip while trimming to get the markers placed where you want them. The speed at which this editing takes place is definitely going to depend on your mobile device capabilities.
The included stand is magnetic and I found it to be adequately strong to hold up the Frame, which is very lightweight. If putting in the portrait mode, I would recommend on a table or space no higher than 3ft. The best picture quality is when looking at just below eye level or lower. So when sitting on a couch, etc to view if it is then higher than eye level then the images will be washed out. However, plug location is going to be a determining factor for placement so most likely it will remain in the optimal height off the floor; end table and coffee tables would be great, bookshelves possibly, but an equivalent to a mantle height would not be good when sitting down.
The 8inch version I think is adequate, but the 10inch version I think would have been a better choice, of course, if you need a smaller footprint, then the 8 inch is great.
I cannot think of anything bad to say about the Frame. So far everything is working smoothly and as I would expect.

Really liking this water flosser. It is definitely better than the one I was previously using, not in performance ( think they are on par) but in size and style.
For starters being it is an all-in-one design it is not too big or heavy and is easy to hold an maneuver. It holds the perfect amount of water.
There is plenty of power being battery operated and is definitely better for travel.
I really like that the water basin is attached to the device, referencing my previous flosser, that had the basin separate, it did not have a lid, so it always needed to be removed from the base and turned up side down so it would not get dust and such in it when not in use. I was always worried that at some point the continual removal of the basin would wear out the connection point and begin to leak.
I also like how it pauses in between sections to notify you when to move to the next section. If you are familiar with Philips Electric toothbrushes, it is the same type of indicator to move to the next section.
No matter what type of water flosser you have it is a messy business spraying water, and I don't think the Philips Sonicare Power Flosser is any less or any more of mess during use. However, since it is not connected to a basin via a water tube, the water that escapes my mouth just falls down and does not run down the tube. So in that scenario, the Sonicare is less of a mess.
The only issues I have with it so far is it hard to get the basin to dry out after each use and when attaching the basin your concentration is not spiling the water, so it is easy to accidentally hit the power buttons as they are flush with the grip. With extended use I know the accidental button presses will diminish, but when first using its easy to accidentally spray yourself.

MnstrMike's Questions
MnstrMike has not submitted any questions.
Camcorder with webcam functionality
I need a reasonably priced camcorder that can also serve as a webcam. Which models have this feature?
It all depends on what you will use it for most. Any line-up of camcorders will do just fine for a webcam and on sale you can get a webcam for around $30.
For home videos, it all just depends what you are going to be doing, if you need a super zoom lens 30x or higher? Standard Def or HD? If you are only going to be putting them on a PC or do you want to watch directly on TV? There are still the tape versions available that you use the camcorder as a VCR. Or you can buy one that burns directly to mini-DVD's, holding 60 minutes of video. The last option records to SD cards and can hold anywhere from 2 hours to 16 hours, just depending on the size of card or built-in memory. Most of these camcorders only can record for about an hour to an hour and a half because of battery charge.
I know it's a lot of questions and doesn't really answer yours. Going off of "Reasonably priced and webcam" for specifications means anything less than $150 will work for your purposes.
