Great Sound and Bass
Customer Rating
4.0
The soundbar is very sleek, though not small, and delivers great sound and bass from the paired wireless subwoofer.
I ran the soundbar setup via both HDMI and Optical cable to test superiority between the two. I did find the HDMI arc produces better audio for voice as it directs it via the center channel, its possible optical still does the same, but I just found the voice audio to be not as loud, requiring the volume level to be turned up rather high; it then made other scenes especially with music extremely loud.
99.99% of my TV viewing is ran through the Roku platform and thus all of it is streaming.
The missing 1 star from the rating comes from "Dolby Atmos" capability. This product, like others I have used, do not create the top down sound through artificial means to be claimed as Dolby Atmos, it dosen't even come across as surround sound. Even the sets that are surround sound, with the directional speakers from a soundbar to bounce the sound of ceiling or whatever digital wizardry is used still doesn't produce what Dolby Atmos has intended for the platform. Unfortunately, the Sony HT-G700 falls into that same category. It is a great soundbar for sure with excellent sound for standard tv watching and big bass and thus greatly enhances any set's built-in speakers, but the Dolby Atmos badge I think is misleading for what that platform is actually trying to bring.
One aspect I did like is that I did test my Roku 4K Premium (not a stick version) via the HDMI ARC and had no issues with functionality, as some HDMI ARC soundbars I have tried in the past did not work well with that setup.
Another huge plus is the simplicity of wall mounting only requires user provided screws. Sony provides the template. Sony also took the extra time to engineer the inputs to be at an angle, instead of parallel or perpendicular to the wall. This greatly reduces cable strain and makes the mounting an easier task.
I also like that the power cord is not hard wired; that is just a personal pet peeve.
My last soundbar was also a Sony and while it is still a great soundbar, in comparison the HT-G700 produces a more rich sound across the low to high ranges. The upgrade to 3.1 from 2.1 to definitely is noticeable.
I cannot say I am disappointed in this soundbar as it does do a great job and I really didn't expect to get a surround sound experience out of a 3.1 setup, nor a Dolby Atmos one.
If looking for the Dolby Atmos though, my opinion, is it can only truly be achieved with a custom in ceiling speaker setup.
Outside of that, I really don't have any complaints about this soundbar and can easily recommend it over a lesser soundbar of 2.1 variation and definitely over built-in speakers.

Jam out to your tunes with these black JLab GO Air true wireless earbuds. Three sets of gel buds offer a comfortable and secure fit for all-day use, while the rechargeable 43 mAh lithium-polymer battery on each earbud offers up to 5 hours of use when fully charged. These JLab GO Air true wireless earbuds have a 30-foot Bluetooth connectivity range, letting you wander away from connected devices freely.
Price Point is too insane to complain!

Are there better sounding buds out there? YES
Is there a better design for a case/charger? YES
Is there a better design for a case/charger? YES
However, at the price point these are being sold, it really doesn't matter. They are 1/5th of the cost of one of my favorite brands because of the true haptic touch capacity. I've been critical of JLab and other brands for having wireless earbud sets but require pushing a physical button for controls. They typically cause you to jam the bud in your ear or were just too hard to press anyway.
There may be a few mis-taps with the JLAB Go Air but I think its mostly because of user error in too long of a delay between double and or triple taps.
Anything I would want to complain or see as negative is really hard to do as its a lot of technology for a stupid good price!
The case is a bit crazy design and the built in charging cable only means planned obsolescence as it is going to wear out over time and then won't charge the buds. But again, my way more expensive "other brand" won't charge the buds any more because the charge/case port died.
I have complained in this industry for a long time about wireless buds not coming with a charger brick and only shipping with a very short charging cable. And assumed they expected us to charge from a USB port on a computer, but it was never specified...by any brand. Finally, JLab comes out and says to charge off a USB Port on a computer. You can use a charging brick, but it is going to be hard to do so considering the shortness of the cable length. Not sure exactly sure how I feel about that, but again, cheap price point, cannot really complain.
So as with all tech it will eventually break, but at least these one's are cheap to replace.
As for Fit, I had to use the smallest silicone tip, and it still fits a bit awkward in my ear. I don't see these as a workout bud for me, as I feel like too much motion and they will fall out, I typically prefer ear clip style for this reason. But for general use they are just fine.
I don't see any water/sweat resistance on the packaging so I'm assuming there is none.
A huge plus is that both buds have their own mic, so there isn't a master/slave setup here, true independence. The only difference in functionality is Left has Siri/Google launch and Right Play/Pause.
As for battery life, the suggested 5 hours I haven't hit as I don't have them in for that long, but they are holding steady so far and I don't see why I wouldn't get close to the claimed battery time.
I highly recommend as general use, birthday, Christmas in July, COVID-19 distraction device.

I have tried quite a few of these over the years and the biggest issue I have always ran into is power. While the battery helps, the motor also needs to be strong not pull out your nose hairs; this one really saws through those logs!
I didn't care for the eyebrow/ear trimmer part. I found it didn't get as close to the skin for the ears. I use my Philips One Blade for that though. For eyebrows, I didn't actually try, little nervous if I cut it too short.
FYI: description states rechargeable battery, however, it is not. See picture.

Not a daily driver, best for non-carpet floors
Customer Rating
4.0
The Wife says no as a daily driver.
Dust bin too small and the dust bin eject button/mechanism doesn't work that well, carpet sweeping requires device to be on Turbo, which causes the motor to become much louder (high pitch), thus also shortening the battery life. A plus is that it has two batteries, but still not enough if you have a lot of carpet.
If not needing for carpet cleaning, it is a fine device and the issues above (minus the dust bin being too small) go away. Furniture cleaning doesn't require the turbo mode.
We do love that there is the option to have it setup via the floor stand instead of wall mounting. The floor stand is well made, has a good design, and seems sturdy. It also has a small puck that you are supposed to attach to the wall and the floor mount bracket attaches to it. It feels a little redundant, but I can see that it is for extra rigidity when removing/replacing the vaccum, but I decied not to use it at this point as I'm not sure where the final place it sit will be.
All but 1 of the attachments has a spot on the floor stand, so I guess it will just get set somewhere. Honestly, not even sure what it is supposed to do as it is not a brush, but a plastic piece, thinking it is for furniture cleanup. The manual has names for all the parts but not what this one is supposed to do. Also once the stick is undocked for use, there are no onboard spots to attach the crevice and brush tools, so you will have to carry them with you or retrieve them when needed. You will be empyting the dust bin frequently, so it probably won't be an issue.
The device definitely has its strengths, mostly being in the double batteries and optional floor stand instead of the wall mounting, extra filters, and nice guides on how to clean with suction cup holder to place in a window?
I can see there were some small details that where thought through, but it does feel like it is to compensate for other areas lacking.
This device will be used for our basement furniture and vinyl floor cleaning, but not carpet.
Would be ideal for a small apartment (1 or 2 bedroom), but whole house use, not unless you stagger your cleaning schedule. For small carpeted areas the Turbo use would be fine, but areas with a lot of carpet, the sound the motor gives off is a high pitch in turbo and really gets to you after a short period of time.
I cannot say that it is bad, but you will want to think through its intended use before purchasing. Our home is 1800sqft upstairs with mix of carpet and laminte flooring and 1000sqft finished basement with vinyl plank flooring. Not touching the carpeted areas, I know I could easily do the flooring upstairs and downstairs on one battery and average changing the dust bin twice.
Also disclaimer we have two small (15 and 20 lbs) inside dogs, short fur, so if no inside animals carpeted areas may do better for you, but marginally.
I don't feel I can dock it more than 1 star as the manual states everything I said in my review that I find negative. Each battery at normal use should last 40 minutes, turn on the Turbo mode and leave it and you get 6 minutes run time from 1 battery. I got a little longer than advertised, closer to 10 minutes.
My minus 1 star is really for not having a place to put all the attachments and the small dust bin.
But like the first line states...the wife says not a daily driver.

The edge-to-edge keyboard has well-spaced keys for comfortable typing, and the four-year battery life and BLE technology provide efficient performance. This slender Logitech Slim Folio Bluetooth keyboard case has a built-in pen holder to secure your Logitech Crayon or Apple Pencil.
You'll Forget its just an iPad
Customer Rating
5.0
I'm no stranger to Logitech products and their quality. I really like the versitality that adding the keyboard to my iPad adds. My last gen 2 iPad had a keyboard attacment from Logitech which I really like as well. I'm writing the review using this new one.
Battery life...4 years! I'll let you know. At first with it being a standard cell replaceable battery I was a little shocked, and wasn't sure if I agreed. But after thinking about the fact that it is replaceable and I don't have to carry an extra cable to charge, its really great. When the case closes and the iPad docks the magnets give a very solid reassuring connection that it won't easily pop open. It feels like a Netbook of old.
I tend to keep my iPad on all the time and the fact when the device is closed in notebook style it shuts off the keybard is great and allows one to keep the tablet on.
The keyboard is great size and all the shortcut keys make it feel like your using a laptop, only the limiations of iPad OS remind me I'm not; and also no trackpad. The keys are really quiet and have a satisfactory feel to them, so would be suitbable for meeting and/or class situations with distrubing someone. Way quieter than a pen click.
When it comes to using the Apple Pencil and the holder, I wish the Pencil wasn't just secured by a loop at the top of the case, but had a spot to snap into the housing of the case. I have seen this implemented in a different brand, so I know it can be done.
When using the iPad to write and laying it flat against the keyboard, it is doesn't hit the keys by design. It does rock/wobble a little bit.
The casing material is a nice soft touch, almost leather feel. Not sure how else to describe it.
I highly recommend this to anyone want to extend the versitaality of their iPad. Using it in Portrait mode as a reader, does add a bit of awkwardness to holding it, but for me coming from a porfolio style case that was thick, its not any more awkward than that one.
If you are looking for mulitiple viewing angles, you will only get one in Landscape mode, but it is a comfortable angel, so should be fine whether using the device from your lap or on a table. But your experience may be different than mine.
All in I can easily recommend this product.

Linksys - MX10 Velop AX5300 Mesh Wi-Fi 6 System (2-Pack) - White
The Linksys Velop MX10 whole-home Wi-Fi 6 system gives you more speed, coverage, and capacity than it ever has before. Wi-Fi 6 combined with Velop's Intelligent Mesh™ technology delivers true Gigabit Wi-Fi speeds, up to 5.3 Gbps, to every corner of your home, even the backyard and outdoor smart home devices. Wi-Fi 6 also sends and receives multiple streams of data simultaneously and reduces latency, providing up to 4x more capacity compared to Wi-Fi 5 technology. So, it can handle the demands of up to 50 devices and more, from laptops and gaming consoles to smart home devices and 4K TVs, all competing for the same bandwidth. You'll also always have a more efficient Wi-Fi experience with OFDMA that enables more data to and from your devices in a more streamlined manner. And, with BSS technology, congestion is also minimized eliminating interference from nearby wireless networks to deliver a strong, clear Wi-Fi signal to your home, so you won't have to worry about your neighbor's Wi-Fi interfering with yours again. You'll even have 7x more battery life with Target Wake Time that reduces network interference, allowing your devices to remain in sleep mode longer. The MX10 whole-home Wi-Fi 6 system is a part of Velop's modular system, so if you need more coverage, just add more nodes. Plus, setup is fast with the Linksys app, so you can enjoy the next evolution of Wi-Fi in minutes.
Currently only 1 of 2 nodes works
Customer Rating
3.0
If you have a large number of devices connected to your network and need coverage for a large home, definitely consider the Linksys MX10 system.
The system comes with 2 nodes and this is to replace a 3 node system of a different brand. As my summary states, 1 node is not working from this Linksys setup, so I was just using 1 node for most of my review, so I know is not a real world test...or is it?
My home is 1800sqft upstairs and the same finished downstairs with 10ft basement ceilings and the ductwork runs through the middle of the house between the floors. With just 1 node all of my devices connect. I have noticed some buffering with a couple of my Roku devices that wasn't present before, but again that is 1 node running and I average 17 devices connected at a time. I pretty confident I would not notice any lag if I had the 2nd node working.
As wifi routers setup go, this was definitely one of the slowest processes I have ever done. Took about 40 minutes all in. There are multiple steps and each one took the max amount of time stated for the process or more the tutorial said it would take. And this process is required for each node being setup. Now since I know 1 node is an issue, the setup time may have been greatly factored by this too.
What I really like about this node style is that each one has 4 Ethernet ports and a USB port making it easy to connect devices that you wish to be hardwired or even adding a NAS device, which were my main reasons for getting this, as the current setup lacks this functionality.
In the very beginning (like first 15 minutes) when both nodes were working I was able to get great range from the setup. With my last traditional wifi router setup I was able to stay connected outside from about 50 yards from my wifi router. When I switched to a mesh system for better overall in home connectivity I lost that range. I get almost the same range as traditional wifi router with both Linksys nodes working and total home coverage, so I know when the system is at full potential it should operate just fine.
On paper and nearly in use, this setup ticked off the boxes that I wanted in my setup.
My rating reflects the issues I have encountered. I know its not node location. I have tried every conceivable useful location. It just simply will only stay connected for no more than 5 minutes, drop off, then reconnect. Not sure if it was an issue with the firmware update right out of the box or just a faulty node?
I'm definitely giving Linksys the benefit of the doubt here as my preferred setup works just fine with my older mesh setup that I have reverted back to until I can go through the phone process that they make you go through to get something replaced, etc. My wife and I both work from home with odd schedules, so its really been hard to drop the internet to go through the support chain of command.
For the amount of devices it should be able to support and the extra wired features, this is a compelling setup. Just wish I didn't have the issues out of the box that I did.
As for the app integration for controlling everything, there was a little bit of a learning curve, mostly I don't care for where they place the location of finding the current connected nodes, should be a bit quicker to access.
I want to recommend this product, but just know you may have to give yourself some more time if you run into any issues.

I have never bought another brand for any kind of mouse. I have had other that came with laptops/desktops, but they were junk and always ended up swapping out for a Logi setup.
The Pebble is a little different as it is flat, so it doesn't really fit the hand like most mice. The use is absolutely amazing, It worked flawless on all different types of surfaces, canvas, carpet, blanket, t-shirt. It just works!!
I was shocked to see it also comes with an RF adapter for USB as I was just expecting Bluetooth. The connection and pairing process was just fine.
I was shocked to find that the there isn't at this time any software to check battery life, swap buttons, etc. Typically this flat style is great for those that are left handed and want/need to change the button layout. So, that is the subtraction of a star.
I can easily recommend this based on the fact it works really well on many surfaces, but it does feel a little awkward in hand due to the really flat design.

Ear Plugs, not Buds.
Customer Rating
3.0
The audio quality is everything I have come to expect from SkullCandy. As good as ever in that department for an earbud style headphone.
I was impressed by the bass sound, as it was really good, just missing the actual concussion feeling!
Battery life seems pretty on par for its claims of 3 hours for buds and with charging case an additional 7 hours. I love that the case has magnets so when placing the buds in they drop right into place.
It loses 2 stars for theses reasons:
Fitment as my title says, these feel like ear plugs. while the plus side is they won't fall out, the negative is they fit tight and I don't think I would worry about the 3 hour battery life per charge because I definitely won't be wearing them that long. I tried and I could make it around the 2 hour mark. With this type of fitment you won't get any ambient sounds, so depending on your useage this may not be a positive.

I tried and I could make it around the 2 hour mark. With this type of fitment you won't get any ambient sounds, so depending on your useage this may not be a positive.
User Interface/Control: First thing, with the fitment being what it is you won't be just simply touching the side of the ear bud to control volume, activate assistant, etc. The button press is pretty hard and requires pinching the device to do so. I believe that is design as with the fitment there is just enough space to easily fit my finger along the backside of the bud and then squeeze the button. I didn't expect the learning curve on the UI for button presses. I found it isn't that accurate and trying to remember to count how long to press was a little weird.
I've tried quite a few ear buds from different manufacturers and even other products from Skullcandy and this is the first wireless set that has the left as the master and the right as the slave. Nothing wrong with that, just different.
You can still use the right ear bud independently of the left, but you do lose UI options like volume down and track back, but that is all. You can still pull up voice assistant and answer/end calls, and play/pause songs. As far as UI goes I think it is the best layed out overall considering you don't loose most functionality, but full volume control is pretty big. There isn't a companion app so there isn't any UI changes available.
I did notice that when just using the right ear bud, then adding the left ear bud it wouldn't always play music in stereo. You have to repower both buds and then it syncs and plays normally.
The case for the buds is nice size and hard so it can take some tumbling in bag. I also like that putting them in the case is an Auto-off feature; I have another pair that I have to constantly check because they turn on in the case when charging and typically drain the batteries more when I finally see it is on. So kudos to Skullcandy for the auto-off feature.
The packaging it all came in was a bit crazy as I thought the buds in the foam where a little tight and I was going to break one of them trying to get it out of packaging.
Call quality on my end was fine, the other end stated that it simply sounded like I was on speaker phone and a little distant.It didn't interrupt the conversation, but just something that was noticed.
I can recommend them, and as stated they are not going to fall out and if you are okay with the physical button pressing then they should be a good option.

Customer Rating
3.0
It does exactly what it is supposed to do, but I did learn a few things.
1. Do wash in the dishwasher as directed first! The plastic smell of the parts is strong and typically a good sink wash works, but not for this one. 1 cycle in the dishwasher and the plastic smell went away and the coffee tasted infinitely better.
2. Like most coffee makers, the fill lines in the reservoir don't always match output. Especially with less than full pot brews. For 4 cups, add about a 1/3 more more water. Going higher in brew size it matched the reservoir capacity.
3. I don't like the included filter. It changes the brew strength and its plastic.
4. Like any new coffer maker, you have to keep brewing to learn how it brews.
5. The carafe can only rest on the warming plate a certain way.
6. Instructions say don't leave it plugged in due to malfunction, yet it has a clock/delay brew function!? The timed brew works as directed as long as you leave it plugged in.
Mine comes with the included pod water filter. I did not use as I already brew with filtered water. But I had my reservations on using it anyway, it just seem something that stays wet and sits in the dark is prime for growing mold. I'm sure it just a activated carbon granuales, but unless you are brewing every morning, which I don't, I'm not too sure about. But I didn't test it, so just being skeptical at this point.
It is a decent coffee maker that gets the job done. This Mr. Coffee replaced my 17 year old Mr. Coffee 4 cup maker which the plate finally started to loose its finish. I don't brew all the time, but I'm expecting similar life span or close here.

The Bad: distortion at higher levels, lacks mid-range
For the price and feature set it is a really compelling offer, especially when looking at the 40-hour claimed battery life. After two weeks of use, still have only had to do the initial charge.
Get two of them and they can be connected (a feature I was not able to test).
Looking at the top brands, Insignia delivers a competing product at great value.
One feature I never use myself just on past experience is the call answering feature. 99.99% of the time I'm not even next to the device, but have my phone in my pocket. And I will say range is really good for this device.

Not with the included stand. An third party stand it could, just make sure you have the power cord side down...it is barely 3ft long.

Does it come with a built in speakers?
Yes, but I could not get them to work attached to my ASUS laptop. Not the first time for a monitor with built-in speakers. These are typically pretty minimal quality, so don't think it would be like a TV setup.

True wireless noise cancelling Beats Fit Pro with comfortable, secure-fit wingtips are engineered for all-day activity. The flexible wingtip design conforms to your ear to comfortably lock in place so you can experience powerful, balanced sound during your work day or your workouts. With two distinct listening modes, you are in control of what you hear. Fully adaptive Active Noise Cancelling (ANC) uses real-time audio calibration to continuously pinpoint external sounds and optimize sound output, and when you need to be aware of your surroundings, easily switch to Transparency mode. Beats Fit Pro supports Spatial Audio with dynamic head tracking for immersive music, movies, and games.¹ These earbuds are powered by the Apple H1 chip. The result — instant one-touch pairing², Automatic Switching³, Audio Sharing⁵, and hands-free “Hey Siri”⁴ for Apple devices. For Android users, easily connect via Class 1 Bluetooth® right out of the box. With the Beats app for Android¹¹, you’ll get enhanced features like one-touch pairing, customized controls, battery levels, firmware updates, and a Fit Test to help you get the best sound and fit out of your earbuds. Each earbud has up to 6 hours of listening time⁶ with 18 additional hours⁷ provided by its matching, pocket-sized charging case to give you up to 24 hours of combined playback.
Can you use these to answer calls? Or are they strictly headphones for music? A lot of times when I'm working on a car I can't get to my phone, these would certainly come in handy for that...
Strictly music. buds can change volume only. Cannot turn on/off noise cancellation, transperancy mode, or both off. Nor do they have a command for an assistiant...unless you have voice command on.

Make a smart solution to upgrade your home security to IndoorCam Mini. Never second-guess what you see in clear 2K resolution, and give yourself control with pan and tilt functions to monitor your home’s most vital areas. IndoorCam Mini features On-Device AI Human Detection, a technology that identifies humans in the frame and only sends you the notifications that matter. After returning home, you can turn on Home Privacy Mode, which turns off the camera and rotates it to your preferred privacy angle. Best of all, there’s no monthly fee after your purchase.
Can this new Indoor Cam Mini connect to the Eufy HomeBase? I would like for the IndoorDam store data on the base for easy access and control.
Unfortunately, no. I have the Homebase2 and it does not integrate with that storage; the SoloCam series are the same way. It can utilize cloud storage in a subscription, MicroSD card, or if you have a local Network Attached Storage device it can save clips there. Those last two options also allows the device to be able to do continuous recording.

Can this indoor camera be set up in a window to record outdoor activity? I can’t use a doorbell camera due to a porch pillar blocking the view of the mailbox. I am looking for something to capture both the mailbox and the porch steps.
No, the glare off the window would cause issues with it properly recording movement. At night you would also have to disable night vision as the IR sensors would bounce back and distort the image. The placement guide suggests not having anything within 8 inches on both sides and 10 inches above.
