Good for PC gaming only
Customer Rating

The Corsair Virtuoso wireless headset has many different features and functions, unfortunately it really only sounds good when used for PC gaming.
The headset was designed pretty well. It looks very sharp and is made of good quality materials. It fits pretty comfortably on my head and does a good job blocking out sound from your environment. Although I do wish they would have used a little more padding over the speakers, as it kind of feels hard pressed up against your ears. The lights on the side of both ears are LED lit and can be customized from the software on your PC. Although, I'm not really sure why they added these lights as the user can not even see them. The detachable mic is a nice feature, there is also a mute button on the button of the mic. There is also an LED ring on the tip of the mic that shines red if muted and green if unmuted, this is a great feature that I found very helpful.
The headset comes with a nice USB C cable that attaches to the headset to charge the 20 hour built-in rechargeable battery. There is also an aux cable included as well as a USB dongle to make it wireless. The Headset can be used on both PS4 and PC in wireless mode, other devices require you to connect it via aux cable.
The only way to fine tune the EQ and the lighting on the headset, is through the free software that you have to download on your PC. This is actually pretty good software that has a ton of useful features..Such as the ability to see you PC core temp, as well as the ram and processor speed, all displayed on a nice little realtime graph.
I first tested these out on my PS4 pro to see how well they sound while gaming online. The sound was very undesirable to say the least. The volume came out very flat with very little bass, while the voice and sound effects were ear piercing. No matter what I did I could not find a level that made it enjoyable for me to use these.
The next device I tested out was my iPhone, I used the lighting to aux jack and plugged in the headset. Just like the PS4, the sound was very poor. The treble was way too high and the bass was almost non existent.
Lastly, I tried the headset out on my PC and this time I played around with the EQ through the software to see if it made a difference. I would like to mention that this headset is also capable of 7.1 surround sound. I first tried watching a movie, then tried listening to music, neither of which sounded very good at all. Then I started Battlefield 4 up and that's when the headset really came to life. The detail and clarity in every sound was amazing, as well as the 7.1 surround effect was very good. Voices and music sounded very clear and not ear piercing, sound effects provide plenty of bass..I mean the sound seemed to be expertly tuned. I tried out a couple more games on my PC and the headset sounded really good with all of them.
So overall, while the Virtuoso headset is compatible with PS4 and other devices, its main purpose is really only for PC gaming. But when you do use them for PC gaming, boy do they sound amazing. That being said, I would definitely recommend these to any PC gamer looking for a good quality headset.

MAG Series 2-Ch. Outdoor Streaming Music System
Bring the party to your patio with this Sonance two-channel outdoor streaming music system. Combining a 1" cloth dome tweeter with a 6.5" glass fiber cone woofer, the cabinet speaker delivers accurate audio across the range from deep bass to mid-level and treble with a frequency response between 65Hz - 30kHz. This Sonance two-channel outdoor streaming music system is compatible with iOS and is easy to manage with the included xPRESS audio keypad for Sonos.
Great Speakers
Customer Rating
4.0
The Sonance 2-ch outdoor speaker system sounds amazing, and really puts out some good quality sound.
The speakers are made of some of the best quality that I've seen in awhile. The woofers are made out of carbon fiber which makes them sound incredible, as well as lets them hold up through the most intense weather. The casing is also very durable with no openings for leaks or moisture build up.
The Sonos wireless amp provides plenty of watts for the speakers, plus you can access all the music in the world with the many different streaming services through the Sonos app. The amp can be set up to either your home theater and/or just your outdoor speaker system. The ability to group more Sonos speakers to the system is a big plus, and through the app you can control each room separately or siamotainously. The only problem I have with the Sonos amp, is that there is no power off button. In order to turn off the system, you manually have to unplug the power cord from either the wall or the amp. This is a major pain if you don't have easy access to the power cord. Even know the Sonos website says the amp consumes little power while not playing music, I don't feel comfortable leaving the amp on all day 24/7. This could cause the amp to wear out faster and have a shorter lifespan.
The system is all controlled by the Sonos app, from there you register your free account and then connect all your music services. If you have an iPhone with the latest iOS, then you could use airplay to stream your iTunes library to the system. There is definately no shortage of music on the Sonos app, it even had streaming services that I've never heard of. While some of the streaming services require a paid account, there are plenty of free services to choose from.
The system also includes a iPort audio keypad, keep in mind this will only work with Apple devices. The keypad requires no wires, as it runs on a rechargeable battery. It mounts to the wall plate magnetically, or it can attach to any magnetic service. It charges through a USB 2.0 plug and the charge lasts quite a long time. With the iport keypad, you install the iport app and from there you can program the remote to access your favorite playlist with the push of a button. It also has a volume button, a skip button, and a play/pause button. To me I didn't really find the remote nessecarry at all, seeing how you can control the whole system from your phone and get full control over it.
Overall the Sonance 2ch system provides some amazing speakers and a good quality amp with tons of music to choose from. The only problem I found with the system is the lack of a power option, besides that, I think this is a really great system and would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for one.

Oster - 2084158 HeatSoft 5-Speed Hand Mixer
Whisk or beat ingredients with ease during meal prep by using this 270W Oster five-speed hand mixer. The HeatSoft technology delivers a gentle burst of heat to soften cold items quickly, while turbo boost adds more power to your selected speed setting. This Oster five-speed hand mixer features full-size beaters for faster mixing results.
Average Hand Mixer
Customer Rating
3.0
The Oster Heatsoft hand mixer is an average hand mixer at best. While the idea of the Heatsoft technology is nice, it doesn't really make that much of an impact.
The design of the hand mixer is very basic. It's mostly made up of a matte plastic, there is also a detachable plastic plate that attaches with a magnet (this is what's used for the heat soft function). The unit is rather bulky and heavy, which for long uses can be bothersome to your wrist. There are 5 speeds as well as a turbo boost button, although when I was using the max speed the turbo boost didn't do anything.
The biggest feature of this unit is the Heatsoft, which is ideal for mixing together cold stuff like butter and it acts as a heat source to softening it up faster. I decided to take the mixer for a test, so I tried making an apple spice cake. The first thing I wanted to test was the Heatsoft technology, so I needed to mix together butter and cream cheese. As I was mixing the 2 together I noticed the heatsoft wasn't doing me any favors as the ingredients where wrapping around the beaters and climbing there way up to the main unit of the mixer. Needless to say, it did not do a very good job mixing that up. Although, the mixer was able to mix the rest of the ingredients together just fine. I did have to take a few breaks in between to give my wrist a rest, as the mixer is a little bit heavy and unbalanced.
I did find that the turbo boost is a nice feature when you need a short boost of max speed on the fly. The cleaning process is fairly simple, the beaters eject with the push of a button, and the magnetic plate on front comes off very easily for cleaning.

Overall, the mixer did the job as intended with a few drawbacks. I didn't really notice the Heatsoft to be that helpful, and the bulkiness and weight of the mixer made it uncomfortable to use for long periods of time. So, because of the unit's bulkiness I wouldn't necessarily use it as my go to hand mixer, therefor I would be reluctant to recommend this to anyone.

Nanit - Complete Baby Monitoring System Bundle - White
The Nanit Plus Complete Monitoring System has everything you need for complete peace of mind: see & hear your baby with stunning clarity and track sleep and breathing motion sensor-free. Plus, auto-saved memories mean you'll never miss a thing.
Great Product!
Customer Rating
4.0
I just had my first baby girl and the Nanit Baby Monitoring System is such a useful device. I am very impressed with how accurate the video stream is, as well as the many other features.
First off, the set up is very simple once you get everything plugged in, you download the Nanit app and set up the camera through the app. The Monitor system comes with 2 different stands, one that mounts to the wall above the baby’s crib, and the other is a tabletop stand that lets you take the camera with you. The system comes with a swaddle and a chest wrap for when your baby outgrows the swaddle. These have a checkered pattern printed on them, this allows for the camera to pick up the baby’s breathing pattern.
The Camera has a built in nightlight, as well as two-way audio so that you can speak to your baby if needed. The camera can also tell you the temperature of the room as well as the humidity, so you know if your baby is comfortable or not. It is also equipped with motion and sound activation, that is very accurate and hasn’t missed one notification for me.
Through the Nanit app is where you will be controlling all the functions. The app is very well designed and works like a charm every time. You can set timers, schedules, customize the notifications, turn on and off the night light, and view live video of your baby. The video is of very good quality too. It comes in at a crisp full 1080 with a birds eye view, so you can see the whole crib.
Overall, I am extremely satisfied with the Nanit baby monitor system, my only gripe with the system is that it requires a subscription service after the 1 year free trial. I do appreciate that they give you 1 year, but for this kind of equipment, I don’t agree with charging a subscription for something that the product is intended to do on its own. I would be more understanding if they wanted to charge for new features or a software update, but I am not on board with a hefty subscription price. I think if they would go about that differently, then they will have a much more successful outcome with this product, as it really is a great product.

ION Audio - Sport Tailgate Portable PA Speaker - Black
Take music to outdoor parties and other events with this ION Sport wireless speaker. Bluetooth connectivity allows music from streaming devices to be broadcast, and the water-resistant design provides durability and protection from the elements. This ION Sport wireless speaker has a USB charging port for conveniently recharging phones and devices.
Good bluetooth speaker
Customer Rating
4.0
The Ion Sport is a good quality speaker with many benefits to it, plus a bunch of nice features.
First off, the speaker itself is made up of good quality materials while making it light enough to lug around with you. The box is made of a durable waterproof inclosure, with a thick metal grill on the front that covers the subwoofer and tweeter. The built-in handle makes it easy to lift and carry as well. The buttons are are made of rubber and are rather thick, so their easy to press. Pairing is made simple, by pressing the bluetooth button, after devices are pared it will just change the input to bluetooth.
The sound quality is good, as the speaker can be heard for quite a far distance (outside). There is a bass boost mode, which gives the speaker an extra amount of bass. I did notice that when I had my phone turned all the way up to max, and then adjusted the volume on the speaker - that the bass would bottom out and rattle. This was easily fixed by turning down the volume on my phone and then using the speaker volume knob to turn it up a little more. The vocals are nice and clear and base is good and heavy without drowning out the music.
The Speaker has a built-in radio into it, without an antenna. I was impressed with the reception that I was able to get without having any antenna on it. The front of the unit has 2 different ports, both of which are covered with a waterproof rubber protector. The left side has an aux input for audio, as well as the mic input. The right side, has a USB 3.0 port which is used as a charging port. There are 2 volume knobs located on the front of the unit: the master volume, and the mic volume.
The Ion Sport comes with a microphone included in the box, this lets you use the speaker as either a portable PA system, or even a karaoke machine. When I first tried out the mic, I wasn’t getting that good of sound, even with the mic volume knob all the way to max. I quickly figured out that you also need to have the master volume turned up. Once I adjusted that, the volume of the mic was loud and clear.
The speaker also has a few other features that are nice. For instance, there is a link mode, in which you can pair 2 spears together for left and right stereo mode. This unit also feature NFC for easily connecting NFC enabled devices. Lastly the battery life on the Ion Sport is amazing! It has a battery life of 50 hours on a single charge. This is amazing considering the size and power of the speaker.
Overall, the Ion Sport is a very impressive speaker that has a lot of features built into it. With good sound quality and amazing battery life, this speaker makes for the perfect tailgating party. This would also be a great speaker to take with you for those who like to go and float rivers. I would definitely recommend this to anyone.

Theragun - G3 Premium Handheld Percussive Massage Device with Travel Case - Black
Accelerate recovery after an intense workout with this Theragun G3 percussion massager. The rechargeable battery lasts up to 60 minutes when fully charged for longer sessions. With multiple massage heads and two speed settings, this Theragun G3 percussion massager allows you to target each muscle with the appropriate intensity for faster results.
Amazing
Customer Rating
5.0
The Theragun G3 is an incredible device, that works wonders on your muscles. I’ve been looking for something like this for awhile now, and the G3 doesn’t disappoint.
Everything about the G3 screams high quality. From the parts and craftsmanship, to the heavy duty carrying case that it comes in. This device is sure to last a long time. The G3 comes in a heavy duty carrying case that holds the main unit, the extra attachments, and the charger. This makes for a great way to stow away, or take with you.
The G3 comes with 4 different attachments, each of them have their own use for muscle relaxation. The Dampener is for general use, bony and tender areas. The standard ball is for everyday use, especially for workouts. The thumb which is a smaller and more stiff tip, that acts as a thumb, is made for lower back and trigger points. Lastly is the cone, this is for pinpoint focused muscle treatment, like the wrist and/ feet. I have tried all the attachments, and I can confirm that they all work as intended.
I am no expert at massage therapy, and to be totally honest I had no idea where to, or how to even use the G3. This is where the handy and very well designed app comes in. The Theragun app not only has the full manual built in, but it has detailed instructions on how to use the G3 for every part of your body. This really puts things into perspective, while ensuring you that you’re using it properly.
The G3 was designed with both using it on yourself, as well as using it on others. The G3 was made with a multi-grip angle, this allows you to reach parts of your body that otherwise would be inaccessible. There are 3 different areas to grip and hold the device, and the rubber finish makes it easy to hold so it doesn’t slip out of your hand when using it.
The first time I tried the G3 on myself I was really amazed at how well it works, it really glides right over your skin with little to no effort. I will say that the unit is pretty loud on the highest setting, but that’s easily forgivable after you experience how good it feels.
Lastly, the G3 comes equipped with a built-in rechargeable battery, which is stated to last 60 minutes on a full charge. The uint has a series of 6 lights on the side of it, which lights up indicating how much battery you have left. I think for the amount of power that the G3 offers, the battery life is right on point.
Overall, I am extremely impressed with the Theragun G3. The G3 comes equipped with everything one could ask for in a portable massager, plus some. It did wonders on my sore muscles and helped me to work out many knots that I had built up. The Theragun app, acts as a great interactive instruction manual, that teaches you everything you need to know about the device. I would definitely recommend this to anyone, weather to loosen up for workout, or for simply massaging.

Programmable G-keys let you create and execute complex actions simply and intuitively and the volume wheel and media keys give you fast, easy control over video, audio, and streaming.
Premium Keyboard
Customer Rating
5.0
The Logitech G915 is a premium keyboard all around, it makes for an amazing gaming experience.
From the second you take it out of the box you will notice how well it is crafted. The keyboard itself is made up of aluminum alloy, and it definitely has some weight to it. The keys are raised up and make a nice clicking sound when pressed (I have selected the GL Clicky ver). Then there are 12 rubber media buttons along the top of the keyboard. But my favorite of all, is the volume roll bar which works so well.
One of the coolest features of the G915, is the lightsync, this lets you create your own customizable color skeme on the keyboard through the G-Hub software. For instance, they have pre selected patterens like a wave, or you can even create your own pattern and store it on the on-board memory. You can store up to 3 different patterns on the keyboard. I ran into some issues on mine when trying to store some custom creations that I made, for example, it wasn't saving to the keyboard, or it would freeze when trying to save it. This might just be a software issue that I can imageing will be fixed in the near future.
The Keyboard has 2 different options for connecting to your mac/pc, option one is through Bluetooth, or option 2 which you can connect it using the lightspeed usb dongle. Using the lightspeed option gives it a 1ms response rate, meaning this is basically the same time as if it were a wired keyboard. You can toggle between the 2 versions with a button on the top of the keyboard. I was very pleased to see how fast the keyboard works wirelessly, it truly is next generation wireless speeds. One last thing that I forgot to mention is that this keyboard is completely wireless, running on a built-in rechargeable battery that is stated to last up to 30 hours on a single charge. Very useful considereing how much I was spending on batteries on my old keyboard.
Overall, the Logitech G915 is an outstanding premium keyboard, that delivers in every category plus bonus features. The only issues I have experienced so far was with the software and trying to save some light patterns, but this is by no means a deal breaker as I'm sure this will be fixed very soon. From the look to feel of the clicks, this keyboard is a must have for any gamer looking to get a premium keyboard. I would definitely recommend this keyboard to anyone.

Marshall - Minor II Bluetooth Wireless In-Ear Headphones - Black

An in-line microphone and an intuitive control knob let you take hands-free calls and change songs without your phone. These Marshall Minor II black Bluetooth earbuds have 14.2mm drivers that produce clear, accurate audio and soft ear tips that ensure lasting comfort.
Good sound, bad fit
Customer Rating
2.0
The Marshall Minor ii look good, are made of good quality, and even sound good...Unfortunately, they don't fit very well.
It took me awhile before I finally found a position that would make the earbuds stay in my ear, and where I could actually hear them. The design of the Minor ii's are not the best I've seen. They just barely fit in the ear, while the adjustable loop rests in the upper cartilage. The biggest issue with these earbuds are, the earpiece doesn't extend into the ear far enough. This makes it very hard to hear them at their full potential. Not to mention if there is any sort of background noise, it totally drowns out the music. This is too bad, because the Minor ii's actually have good quality drivers. The base is just deep enough and the vocals are very clear. If only Marshall would have included different size ear pieces in the box, this might have made a big difference.
The connection is simple..ish, that's to say if you can manage to push the button exactly in the center straight down and hold it for 5 seconds without moving it. Marshall included a circular button that acts as a multi directional knob. For example if you push it up vol up, down vol down, left previous track, and right skip track. The problem is, since it can be pushed diagonal it won't register that command. This was a major design flaw, because you have to be precise in the direction you push it in order for it to work.
The battery last a good amount of time without having to charge, which is nice for portable earphones. Unfortunately, I was able to keep them in my ears for very long without getting an ear ache. The magnetic tips are a cool feature that I haven't seen before. This works by attaching the 2 ear buds together, and it will automatically pause the music.
Overall, I am disappointed with the Minor ii earphones. They had a lot of potential, but with some crucial design flaws, I would not recommend these to anyone. They are very hard to get seated properly, and when I finally managed to do so, I wasn't able to keep them in for too long without them hurting my ears. You definitely wouldn't be able to take them on an airplane, because you wouldn't be able to hear anything. Not to mention the bad control knob.
Pros:
Good drivers
Good battery life

Speck - Presidio Pro Case for Apple® iPhone® XR - Carbon Black/Eclipse Blue
Hold your iPhone XR confidently with this Speck Presidio Pro case. It has antimicrobial treatment to prevent bacteria from accumulating, and its slim two-layer design doesn't interfere with wireless charging. This blue and black Speck Presidio Pro case prevents device damage from 10-foot-high drops thanks to its IMPACTIUM shock barrier.
Good case, not slim
Customer Rating
4.0
The Speck Presidio Pro case for the iPhone XR is a good case. It's very durable, comfortable and feels good in your hand. Although, it is not very slim at all. In fact it's actually quit bulky, especially due to the lip that extends over the front of the iPhone. That's not to say that it's a bad case, it's actually really good.
The design of the case is nice, it has that smooth rubbery feel to it, and it does a good job at fingerprint resistance. The buttons are nicely cut out and shaped around the volume up and down, as well as the power button. There is a little square hole cutout for access to the silent toggle switch, which is just big enough to access. The bottom 3 cut-outs are perfectly cut to size, that includes the speaker, lightning port, and barometer. The camera cut-out is well tapered in and covers the camera perfectly. The front of the phone cover has a pointed rim that extends over the front of the iPhone, presumably as to not scratch the face when setting the phone face down.
The Speck case is rated to protect the phone from up to a 10 foot drop without it breaking...I did not test out this feature, and hopefully won't be doing so anytime soon. although, I can confirm that the case is well protected.
Overall, the Speck Presidio Pro is a good sturdy case, that offers great protection for your iPhone. The case is very comfortable to hold, and the buttons push with ease. The only issue I would have is that the case is not very slim, due to the pointy lip that extends over the face of the phone. I would recommend this case to anyone looking for a sturdy case for their iPhone XR.

Maximize internet speeds with this ARRIS SURFboard wireless cable modem. Four Gb Ethernet ports offer rapid wired connections, and advanced wireless technology delivers fast long-range 2.4GHz and 5GHz Wi-Fi connections. This ARRIS SURFboard wireless cable modem offers easy plug-and-play installation and lets you manage networks with voice commands via Amazon Alexa.
Good, but with limits...
Customer Rating
3.0
The Arris Surfboard cable modem combo is a fairly decent router/ modem combo, but it is not for everyone. While Arris did incorporate some good technology into this box, they did manage to leave out some necessary features.
First off the Surfboard is about the size of a Cox contour cable box, only a lot lighter. In fact, the box doesn't weigh that much at all. On the front of the box there are 2 lights, one for the internet and the other for wifi. On the back there are 4 gigabit ethernet ports, as well as the power port. Arris kept it pretty simple in this department. The set up is very easy and straight forward, even for those who aren't very tech savvy. The best way to set this up,(in my option) is hardwired through a laptop or PC/Mac. Once you set up your wifi and password, then I recommend downloading the app. The Arris app is also very good. It pretty much has every feature one would need to monitor and explore their network, not to mention it is very easy to navigate and understand. For example, You can edit you wifi networks names and passwords right from the home screen. There is a network map which lets you see all the devices on your network, as well as edit the names. A speed test, that is probably the most detailed and accurate one I've ever used. There is also a feature called wifi spot meter, this lets you walk around your room to see where the wifi signal is weak. Although, I couldn't get the meter to work on my phone.
As far as the performance goes...If you are hardwired into the Surfboard, then you can expect to get speeds at around 920mbps and up. On the other hand, the wifi is a different story. The biggest problem I have with this unit, is the lack of MU-MIMO. With MU-MIMO, you are able to not only stream in 4K in one room, online game in another, and browse the internet - all at the same time without seeing a dip in speed. Not to mention there is a significant increase in wifi range especially on the 5ghz network. Unfortunately, this combo does not have that feature, and you will definitely notice a difference. For me I noticed the rapid drop in speeds after I connected my 3rd device to the wifi, while trying to use them simultaneously, I notice that the download speeds dropped to a 1/4 of what they were before. I also have noticed the range is not quite as far on this as well, this barely covers a 3rd of my house without loosing signal on the 5ghz. While you can buy a wifi range extender to extend the coverage, at that price point you're better off just buying a separate modem and router with better coverage for the same price.
Overall, the surfboard is a solid unit with limits. Would I recommend it to people...? That depends on the person and their environment. For people that live in a smaller home, only have a handful of devices connected to their network, and plan on hardwiring most of their devices to the internet... Then yes, this is a good choice. But if you're someone that has a bigger home with a lot of wifi devices connected to your network, then I would not recommend using this combo.

Does the Logitech - Combo Touch iPad Pro 11" (1st, 2nd, and 3rd Generation) Keyboard Case, Backlit Keyboard, Trackpad - Oxford Gray work on the iPad Air 4th generation? I know they can use the same Apple Magic keyboard.
I don’t believe it will. The dimensions of the iPads are different, I believe the air is a little bit smaller than the Pro.

See more of the action with this Full HD ASUS gaming monitor. Quick 1 ms video response time lets you play action games in real time without lag. This ASUS gaming monitor comes with a stand for use on any flat surface.
I recently purchased this monitor from my local Bestbuy, and I cannot get audio through it. Does this monitor have built-in speakers? I am unable to find information online regarding whether this monitor has integrated speakers.
No, there are no built in speakers, but there is a headphone jack built in. You can use the headphone jack to plug your speakers into it.

The usb dock on my current printer only allows me to view/print jpeg and tiff files. Does this printer allow for pdf files to be printed from the usb dock?
There isn't a USB dock on this printer. The USB port is for a printer cable only. You can send PDF files to the printer wirelessly to print from the HP Smart software though.
