This is my 1st ever pair of Noise cancelling headphones. All I can say is WOW! Sony knocked these out of the park, they sound incredible for truely wireless Ill call em ear dongles, as theyre profile is large. Especially compared to other brand true wireless ear buds I have.
The noise cancelling works well and seems to adjust on the fly, when your surroundings go from quiet to any kind of surrounding noise. Which imo can be annoying as the sound cuts out when the noise cancelling engages and dis engages.
Through the Sony App, these have Many adjustable settings, from EQ, to noise cancelling ON/OFF, and adjustable increments of noise cancelling. These also can be updated via allowable firmware upgrades through the Sony App as well.
Ive had these on and in ear since they arrived 7 hrs ago, and battery life is great on one full charge via the 6" usb-c cable. I was amazed how well the noise cancelling worked. I played my 6- piece acoustic drum set to see just how well the Cancelling of noise worked. To my surprise, these XM3s nearly removed all sound coming from my kit and cymbals, and theres nothing quiet about them. Impressive...
Google Assistant works well and is fully functional on these also, I used the feature to adjust my thermostat, and turn on a few lights in and around the house. Also the side touch areas respond almost to well to Pause, Resume, as well as engage Google Assistant, and turn the Voume Up and Down.
My only complaint is I recieved them in Black vs Silver, so not much of a complaint! As my S10+ is white, would of mated better. Honestly though my one true gripe is these have a large profile dangling out of your ear. Other than that these are Awesome.

While I do like this security camera by Defender, it does need some improvements and or firmware updates. Improvements Id like to see is Audio, and 2-way audio as well.
For updates, what Id like to see is selectable 108pp picture that stays. So you dont have to switch from SD to HD every viewing, while using the app.
Setup of the camera is fairly easy and straight forward. 1st youll need to select your mounting location. Drill a 3/4" hole to run your camera power wire& ethernet adapter through, connect the camera to its power adapter which is 10ft long. You also have the option to connect this camera to ethernet cable. Should you choose to not use 2.4ghz wifi, or if your wifi is weak in your desired location. Then simply mount the cameras base using 3 included screws.
Setup a account with defender and connect the new camera to wifi or your wired network(seperate ethernet cable required for wired connection)! Ive had no issues whatskever with this camera. Works perfect everytime. Whether Im using it over my wifi or cellular network.
Id reccommend this to anyone not wanting to spend a ton of money on a home security camera or multiple ones.

This is nicely laid out mid range gaming pc by Acer. The gtx 1650 plays most games at meduim to higher settings, the 15.6 led screen looks very good while doing so.
The 128 gb m.2 ssd for OS loads quickly and gives some room for smaller games. Also included is a 1tb hdd, great for larger games as well as pictures and videos. The red backlit keyboard is a nice feature for a midrange laptop, makes playing games at nite easier.
The 8 gb of included memory was enough for the games I play, and never caused any hiccups for the laptop while gaming or multi tasking. There are plenty of ports included as well, whkch some gaming laptops costing twice as much dont have. Such as Usb ports, ethernet port, hdmi port, very nicely sone Acer.
The intel i5 cpu works without any strain, regaurdless of what I was doing, this laptop being a gaming version does run hot. Best to keep it on a desk or table top for best ventilation. Battery life isnt great, but most all gaming laptops have thjs same issue. Id rate this Acer 4 out of 5 stars, which is great at this price point.

Loving this new LG 4K monitor. Refresh rate is great, 4K HDR looks amazing via my Auros 1080i gc.
The only complaint I have it the oddly placed toggle on the middle underside. The vesa mounting is great, works with my old adjustable desktop monitor stand. Colors look great and pop, whether gaming, surfing, or viewing pics.
For the money this is hands down a great 4K monitor for PC.

This doorbell is simple to install, works wirh your existing old doorbell 2 wires. Setup of the doorbell is easy as well. Simply download the app, create a account, connect to the doorbell, then connect the doorbell to your wifi.
I like how this will allow you to see recorded events without the extra expense of a monthly membership. Video and audio was crisp over my S10+ phone and Galaxy Tab tablet. Just simply works well and lolks good.
Id reccommend this Skybell video doorbell to anyone wanting to see who comes to your door. No noticable delay either over the app and wifi, better chance of that over LTE network.

Ive owned many logitech harmony remotes over the years, this is my least favorite of the 5 Ive owned!
Not ideal for my setup, this remote has no IR eye only a mic and micro usb port. My setup is in my mbr with a 55" tv, bluray player, shield tv. If the express remote had a ir sensor, I would give it 5 stars.
My gear is in my walk in closet, where the hub is installed, so nothing is sending a signal to my wall mounted tv. The hubs need line of site to all gear, as the remote wont turn on ir devices by itself.
Back to my old reliable harmony 890 and emitter hub I go.

For the money its a little overprice, but its a neat design. The photos arent the sharpest quality, more blurry and out of focus.
With todays tech I expect it to print clearer pics for the cost. Its a great idea, just not executed well. With steady hands this camera takes blurry out of focus prints.

This isnt your regular speedy style ssd. On the slower side for ssd's, but still fast or faster than a hdd.
Im using mine in a 2018 Asus gaming laptop as a storage drive. My boot drive is a 512gb m.2 ssd. This loads faster than my origonal seagate barracuda hdd of the same storage space.
I used Acronis True Image to transfer everything from my old hdd to my Samsung ssd. For the money this ssd is hard to beat in its storage capacity and speed.

This has plenty of atorage for anything youd like to swap over to another pc, or use as extra space on something like a sSield TV box.
My one and biggest complaint is the insertable body is a flimsy plastic material. Where other Sandisk usb drives I own of smaller storage are metal. The included cloud software works good after downloading it to your pc, Im nlt a big user of cloud storage. Nut, all in all thks version by Sandisk works and is easy to use to backup your files.
No problems using thks drive to swap over pics and files from my desktop to laptop pcs. Other than the plastic body I would reccommend this to anyone needing affordable thumb drive options.

This is a nice phone with enough built in storage for most simple users. The screen is plenty large at 6 inches, oddly narrow though. When I run out of built in storage its simple enough to pop in a micro sd card.
Android 9 is nice and snappy, seem to be no lag withe lower quality processor on my most frequently used apps and games. I wish this had the newer AX/WiFi6 built in, but not a biggie. Only been able to find 1 case for the phone only through Sony, no screen protecters yet.
The built in finger scanner on the right side is fast and responsive, I like the side position vs the back. All in all a well built mid range phone, for mid to low end needs
