Ive Never been a fan at all of earbuds. Either they dont stay in well, or fit is uncomfortable.
Not at all the case with thse Jlabs, fit is great, comfort is just as nice, and there are many assorted sizes inserts included. Also included is a small accesory case, and charging cable.
The sound with these is really nice for any earbud Ive tried. They are clear with a good amount of bass. Battery life is great, I got 3 days of use before charging them.
I really like how well they fit in the ear, and that theres a shapable cable that runs behind the ear to better keep these in place. Theres volume up & down buttons, as well as pause/answer call.
While the price imo, is slightly steep. These have everything a quaility set of earbuds need. I definitely recommemd these to anyone who works out, and or likes wireless earbuds.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Norton Core™ Secure High Performance Wi-Fi Router - Granite Gray
Without you knowing it, cybercriminals can infiltrate your Wi-Fi network and steal your identity or invade your privacy by accessing your connected devices. Password protection isn't enough anymore.Engineered with multi-layered security, Norton Core™ intelligently protects your Wi-Fi network and an unlimited number of connected IoT devices such as smart TVs, baby monitors, Wi-Fi thermostats as well as your personal devices like laptops, desktops, smartphones and tablets against malware, spyware, ransomware, viruses and more.
Good for basic users, but no more than that.
Customer Rating

The Norton Core is a good idea, but it lacks some of the features that would make it great. It says it is for home or business, but I can't see it working for business, as there is no network configuration for LAN or WAN settings, and it cannot be configured to work with already established network settings. You must change every network setting in order to work with Norton Core, which if you have a larger network, is a real pain and takes a lot of time. If you were using the Norton Core for a guest network and do not need to connect to other devices, it would work well for that.
Also making it seem unsuitable for business use is that the only interface is though the app on your phone (iOS or Android). It cannot be installed on a laptop or desktop computer. If a business used this and the one person with the phone was out of the office and unavailable, there could be a serious problem.
One really strong advantage to the Norton Core is its powerful parental controls. You can set up individual user profiles that allow you to block by content, and control when the device has wireless access. You can set a certain amount of time that each specific user (or all users) can be on the network, such as 2 hours per day, and/or set the times of day that the network is accessible, such as between 9 am and 9 pm.
After setting up the Norton Core, I have noticed that our network is somewhat slower. This could be due to the router scanning everything so closely in order to filter out the unwanted content, but we have had no problems with buffering while streaming Netflix, You Tube, etc.. The connection does seem to fail sometimes, requiring unplugging and reconnecting. It updates automatically and it seems to be doing this all the time, so hopefully one of the updates will fix the slower band width problems and prevent it from freezing up.
The purchase price includes a 1 yr subscription to Norton Core Security Plus. According to Norton, after the first year, you will be billed $9.99 per month to continue the subscription. If you don't renew, Norton Core will continue as a high performance router, but all network, IOT & device level security features, plus parental control features will be unavailable. Since that is the probably the primary reason people will purchase this device, you're pretty much stuck paying for the subscription.

Meet the secure, tamper-proof smart lock from Nest and Yale. It’s keyless, so you can lock and unlock the door from anywhere with the Nest app.[1] Give people you trust a passcode instead of a key, and get alerts when they come and go. And lock the door with a tap. If you forget, the Nest x Yale Lock even reminds you.
No more keys to lose...

This is my firts Nest product. Since I previously had a deadbolt installed, install was very easy for me.
You simply remlve your old deadbolt, and install the new wifi Nest/Yale deadbolt. This took me roughly a half hour start to finish including installing and setting up the Nest app on my note 5 phone.
You can keep the passcode to unlock the deadbolt via the touch keypad, or simply create your own, and or give each user theyre own code, while also giving guests a different code thats usable during certain time periods of the day/week! Its nice that you can lock/unlock the deadbolt via the app by holding the lock/unlock button or via a keycode on the touchpad.
The deadbolt uses 4 included double A batteries, and should those die, you simply use a 9 volt battery to give the keypad juice before changing the 4 double As.
I really like that this uses no key to lock/unlock, which to me means no extra key to lose or carry on a keychain.
The kit includes a small nest hub that you plug into any power outlet, which connects via 2.4 ghz wifi, and then connects to the deadbolt via wifi. Setup of both the hub and and deadbolt is a breeze, as well as setting up a new nest account via the nest app. I highly reccommend this item for any tech savy person looking to ditch a key from theyre keychain.
Ill also need to replace my door handle to match the brushed nickle finish, as mine were polished brass.

Added this ea9000 to my ea9500 linksys router. Not sure this improved my wifi coverage much.
While it looks like a beast of a extender, Im still on the fence for reccomending it to anyone. It looks like itll do the job, but Id reccomend daisy chaining 2 routers of the same brand and model imstead.
I installed this in my garage, as the locater gave it the best central location for wifi coverage....

These are much better than I anticipated. I Love that these can be either wireless bluetooth, or traditional wired headphones!
Sound quality via bluetooth is exceptionally clear, as well as with using them wired. The included wired 3.5 adapter is 4 ft long.
These dont take very long to fully charge (less thwn 2 hours), via micro usb cable, and will hold a charge for nearly a full day of listening. The ear cushion is very comfortable, without any discomfort. I like the drawstring storage bag that is included.
Ive yet to use these in the rain or snow, as theyre suppose to be designed for. I imagine they would work fine, as the drivers are covered in a rubber/silicone material.
I would recommend this to a friend!

These bulbs are nice, they work just as expected. I dont yet have the Hue Hub to controll them via the Hue App, or through my Google Home.
I plan to get one as a gift for the holidays, or buy one after myself. So I cant comment on theyre full functionality. But as a lightbulb these work great and provide plenty of light on my bedroom nightstands.

This little shark robot vac, is easy to setup and use. Works well at cleaning my hardwood floors, when the kids make lite mess or small spills.
The 720 seems to navigate around the house well, without marking up my large white baseboards. The scheduled cleaning remote is nice, would prefer a app as the remote may easily get lost or misplaced.
I find this to be good at light jobs, as a mop is still needed for dusting the floors or larger messes.

Love this router, no negatives so far to mention. No loss of wifi, or internet at all with this router. Coverage in my 1400 sq ft home is great, in and out. Love the look and the setup is easy, start to finish.
Im not much on the super technical side, but this new wrt32x router has many great features built in. Only complaint is I wish it had a app for easy access. Other than that, this is a router Id reccommend to anyone who games or streams, and want great coverage in and around theyre home...
Dont hesitate to pick this up, when it become availible... Im using this, and a Linksys EA9500 as a wired ap... Both from TIN...

I recieved this in exchange for my honest review... Great vacuum for around the entire house. The swivel head make cleaning around furniture a breeze. The added attachment is nice, for spot where the vacuum head wont fit.
The detachable hose is long enough to reach without having to move the vacuum body alot. Only downside imo, is lack of a retracting cord...
