---SETUP---
The setup of this Sony speaker is quick and painless. After turning it on, the speaker is looking for a bluetooth signal and your phone or computer finds it right away. Just pair it and you’re set.

---FEATURES---
The key feature of this speaker is that it has extra bass, live sound, and vibrant LED lighting. It also has a feature called ‘chain,’ which means that you can connect more Sony speakers with this feature over time expanding the amount of space the sound covers.

---PERFORMANCE---
The performance of this speaker is astounding. Loud but without causing distortion, you will quickly become enamored with this monster of an audio device. You can connect sources like bluetooth, a USB with an MP3 playlist in it, or even use RCA cables to mini-plug for older auxiliary type of devices. This speaker has an antenna allowing you to tune into FM radio frequencies and all features work great.

---EXPECTATIONS---
The product meets my expectations. After I connected the speaker with my phone using bluetooth, I began going down my list of favorite tunes. From heavy music like Korn and Slipknot to more mellow sounds like Mana (Spanish Rock), this speaker can handle anything you throw at it. The extra-bass button allows for a more room-filled sound without creating distortion. The live button makes everything feel more like the band it in the same room. It’s hard to describe, but I preferred the live sound over the other features because it feels more immersive. You can connect a microphone and play tunes from YouTube for a great Karaoke night.

The price for the speaker in terms of value is to be considered an investment into quality sound. This is especially true if you plan to buy a second one for the chain feature. You will love the portability and easy of use.

---APPROVAL---
I highly recommend this product for people who intend on having high-powered sound and provide great entertainment in a reduced space. Small businesses like coffee shops could make great us of the microphone input for karaoke nights. Family parties can be sure to have fun with the Fiestable app, as you can listen to your favorite tunes with a nice live twist.

Polished, professional Full HD video calls. The C920S HD Webcam delivers remarkably crisp, clear and detailed images in vibrant colors. HD autofocus and light correction adjust to provide consistently high definition, and the dual mics on either side of the lens capture natural sound. The privacy shutter puts you in control of what you show.

---PERFORMANCE---
The performance of the WebCam is great out of the box. I used it with Facetime for an online interview for a new job and the interviewer made a comment on how clear my image was compared to those he had interviewed that day. The microphone works well also if you are using it close to you. For gaming, though, I rerouted the output to a different mic but it makes for a great starter WebCam.

The product meets my expectations. You don’t need a tripod to use this, as it has a hinge that can adjust to any laptop or monitor. I had a small tripod laying around and I used the tripod screw hole to place it closer to me and record me at a preferable angle and out of the way of my TV’s line of view. It worked flawlessly with OBS and I was able to set up a filter for chroma key without having to turn on my studio lights, meaning that the regular room lighting was enough to capture a bright enough image needed for a green screen.

I highly recommend this product for people who make video calls or video-conferencing as it will definitely look better than anything that already comes with your laptop or monitor. Xbox players can plug it in directly to the Xbox for streaming from the Xbox with a facecam. PC streamers can customize it even further with OBS or XSPLIT. You will love the HD capture of your camera and the price.

---SETUP---
The setup of this headset is not complicated but it is not immediately obvious out of the box. All necessary cables are included, though. You must connect an optical audio cable to your PS4 and the Elite Super AMP (ESAMP), a Mini-USB cable to the ESAMP and the PS4, and an auxiliary cable from the headset to the ESAMP. Starting to sound complicated? It isn’t, but expect clutter. When you’re done with that, you must download the Turtle Beach Audio Hub app (iOS and Android) and pair your mobile device to the ESAMP via bluetooth. This will allow you to customize your headset with your phone through the ESAMP. To successfully use the ESAMP with the PS4, follow directions in the screenshot provided (found in the user manual).

---FEATURES---
The key feature of this headset is that it is customizable via the Turtle Beach Audio Hub app (iOS and Android). Another neat feature is that this headset is made with gamers who wear glasses in mind. I thought that meant extra comfy cushioning, but it is actually a thread that you can pull that will create a crevice for the feet of the glasses to fit through and not have as much pressure. This is a wired headset, but the wire doesn’t go connected to the controller, it goes connected to the ESAMP. Since your phone pairs up via bluetooth to the ESAMP, an interesting feature is that audio from your phone will be sent wirelessly to the headset when connected to the ESAMP. When I discovered this, it meant that I could hear my text message notifications via the headset when gaming, music that I play from my phone, and anything else that makes a noise from your mobile device. Also, the ESAMP solves a problem that streamers have with a PS4, which is that when you connect most headsets to the PS4 controller, the game audio is no longer captured by products like ELGATO because the PS4 can’t send the same audio source to two different locations. The ESAMP allows for that to happen, so if you are a streamer having this issue, this here is one solution for you.

---PERFORMANCE---
The performance of this headset is great. Using the ESAMP, you can turn the silver know to raise or lower the volume. Using the app on the phone, you can customize sound that you hear from your headset. The current default options are: First Person Shooter, Battle Royale, Racing, Streamer, and Indie. Aside from that, you can choose from preset sounds like: Signature Sound, Bass Boost, Bass + Treble Boost, and Vocal Boost. Making any change is confirmed by an audible sound on your headset. There are many options to fully customize your sound, from giving yourself a chat boost, provide a more balanced mix of game vs. chat audio, activate superhuman hearing, enable or disable mic monitoring to various degrees, and adjust the light pattern and color in the ESAMP.

---EXPECTATIONS---
The product does not my expectations. Don’t get me wrong, the audio is phenomenal. However, it’s the little inconveniences that together, form too much of a hassle to be satisfied with the product. First of all, the ESAMP will have to be close to you for you to be able to control the volume of the headset. Since the ESAMP needs to have 2 cables connected to the PS4 (optical and USB), if you play on the couch in a living room where there is lots of traffic (kids, spouse), they will inevitably step on the cables and either pull your PS4 in a manner you won’t like or unplug your cables during your gameplay. Even if your family doesn’t trip on the cables, it does mean more maintenance in terms of putting the cables away when not in use. Additionally, there is another cable that extends from the ESAMP to your headset in order for it to work. Nothing will connect to your PS4 controller, but having that auxiliary cable connected to the ESAMP is another cable to worry about getting in the way. Another inconvenience is that the headset cannot control any volume. Instead, you must reach for wherever you placed the ESAMP, which if its on the floor, that means bending down. To make changes on to the sound presets, you must resort to a third device, your mobile phone. The only thing that your headset can do is mute your mic. Speaking of which, the mic can’t be put away unless disconnected from the headset. It is a long stick that, though it is movable, it is limited in mobility. Lastly, if you are a multi-console owner, this only works with PS4 and PC.

The price for the Turtle Beach Headset in terms of value is a bit high considering that this is not a wireless headset and it is limited to the PS4 and the PC. Other headsets that I own (one from Turtle Beach itself) work with my Switch, Xbox One, PS4, and PC all at once and wirelessly.

I highly recommend this product for people who only have a PS4 or PC and that will be there main headset of choice for those platforms. I also recommend this for PS4 streamers who lose audio when using an ELGATO. If you don’t fall in the categories above, then these are not what you are looking for.

The performance of this charger is adequate. It will charge your Qi enabled phone at about a 50% slower rate than a direct cable but it is perfect for overnight chargers or for you to leave it on your desk while you work. The slow rate of charge is not a fault of the device, it’s the current limitations of Qi technology. Your phone will get hotter than normal, but that is expected.

The product meets my expectations. As an educator, I teach expository articles. One article my students and I read was on Qi tech. Currently, there are limitations in terms of distance from device to charging pad and charge rate. Based on what I have read, the charger functions as expected. I use a phone case that doubles as a wallet that holds 3 debit/ID cards. With that case, the Qi charger identifies that the phone is on the base, but it won’t charge because it is too thick. If I leave the flap that guards my debit/ID cards open, it will charge my phone, but that’s not the ideal way of using it. By fully removing the case, I am able to have the phone charge with no problems. The charger will identify if something is in the way of charging your phone by lighting up an LED in orange. The LED, though, is not intrusive when sleeping at night.

To clarify, this is not a router. The ARRIS SURFboard AC2350 is a modem/router combo and requires that you contact your ISP (internet service provider) prior to use. Check if it is compatible with your ISP before purchase.
---SETUP---
The setup of this modem was quicker than the time I spent talking to Spectrum, my ISP. I was on the phone for 16 minutes, but the installation only took 40 seconds. Coaxial cable goes in only 1 location and the power plug is all you need to connect. Take pictures of the network names, security key, and HFC MAC address prior to calling and installing, as this will help facilitate your installation process.

The key feature of this modem is that it acts as a wireless router with both, 2.4 and 5ghz bands for speeds up to 2350 Mbps. It includes 4 ethernet ports which support up to 1.4 Gbps of download speed. It also has a WPS button for easier connection to wireless devices.

The product meets my expectations. Using my previous router, I was getting WiFi download speeds of 50 Mbps for gaming. Not bad, but a 20 Mpbs increase is always welcome. Of course, now that this modem has 4 ethernet ports, I connected all my consoles and gaming PC using an ethernet cable for each and all devices achieved over 300 Mbps that way. Impressed. I tried downloading the app for McAfee, to set up the included 3 year secure home internet that should prevent attacks from the point of entree as well as give parental control, but it failed so often that I stopped trying. It isn’t needed for the functionality of the modem and I love it without it. I have my own security that I run on my network. At 9 ½ inches, it is taller than my previous modem, but I have it in an open space.

The price for the modem in terms of value can save you money over time, as most ISPs charge a monthly fee for you to use their rental modem. Spectrum used to charge 5 dollars a month (back when it was Time Warner) but they did away with the monthly charge. Still, the loaned device didn’t have the 4 ethernet ports which are of great value to multi-console owners. It saves you from having to get two devices connected, as it is all in one.

---PERFORMANCE---
PC
The performance on was outstanding. I tested this headset wirelessly for a good 10 hours of gameplay and I didn’ lose power. The sound is phenomenal. I am deaf on my right ear, but even playing at low level of volume, the large 50mm Pro-G drivers would vibrate enough for me to “feel” that I was getting shot at from the right side, making my reaction time faster than with other headsets. In regards to the microphone, all my friends told me I sounded louder (in a positive way) and clearer.
PS4
On PS4, I was able to use the headphone with the auxiliary cable connected to the headset and the controller. At first, I had an issue where I wasn’t able to hear party chat but I was able to hear the game. I fixed this issue by connecting the cable ends opposite of the way I had the first time. Don’t really know why this fixed the issue, as both ends have the 3 ring circle connection required for a microphone to work. I also discovered that just by connecting the headset without turning it on, you can hear you gameplay. You just need to turn it on for the full surround sound and the mic chat. Everything I mentioned in the PC performance applies here as well.
Xbox One
This is the console I was planning on using it the most, but as it turned out, I couldn’t get the mic to work. I connected the cable the way that I do my many other headsets that I have, using the auxiliary cable. I do have a chatpad connected to my Xbox One Elite controller and the audio worked but not the mic. I removed the chatpad and connected it directly to the controller and I would hear sound, but the mic wasn’t working. I switched to a normal Xbox One controller and the mic didn’t work either. I own 7 other headsets and I tried them all on my Xbox controller. The headsets that I already owned worked fine with audio and party chat. I was disappointed that I couldn’t use chat, but I might still use it for single player games on Xbox.
PC
The performance on was outstanding. I tested this headset wirelessly for a good 10 hours of gameplay and I didn’ lose power. The sound is phenomenal. I am deaf on my right ear, but even playing at low level of volume, the large 50mm Pro-G drivers would vibrate enough for me to “feel” that I was getting shot at from the right side, making my reaction time faster than with other headsets. In regards to the microphone, all my friends told me I sounded louder (in a positive way) and clearer.
PS4
On PS4, I was able to use the headphone with the auxiliary cable connected to the headset and the controller. At first, I had an issue where I wasn’t able to hear party chat but I was able to hear the game. I fixed this issue by connecting the cable ends opposite of the way I had the first time. Don’t really know why this fixed the issue, as both ends have the 3 ring circle connection required for a microphone to work. I also discovered that just by connecting the headset without turning it on, you can hear you gameplay. You just need to turn it on for the full surround sound and the mic chat. Everything I mentioned in the PC performance applies here as well.

---EXPECTATIONS---
The product meets my expectations in all aspects with a few exceptions. The fact that mic didn’t work on my Xbox was slightly disappointing, but I decided that this will be my main PC headset, so not a big deal-breaker. The software is simple to understand but there is supposed to be a G-Shift option so that the three customizable buttons can turn into 6 customizable buttons (think of it like an FN key on a keyboard). I couldn’t get that to work properly. I customized one of the buttons to tell me the percentage of battery left, but it never told me anything. I do like that one option is to turn off surround sound quickly, which is great if you own Dolby Atmos and want to watch a movie that supports it.

The price for the G935 headset in terms of value is comfortable, considering the only other pair of wireless headsets that I own for consoles and PC cost me almost double than what these cost.

I highly recommend this product for people who will mainly use it wirelessly for their gaming PC or with their PS4. Unless an update fixes the Xbox issue mentioned above, I suggest that if you plan on strictly using them on Xbox, for you to hold off on them. Overall, though, they are the best sounding headset I have used to date.

---SETUP---
The setup of this ASUS router was more complicated than I expected. Compared to other competing brands, this ASUS mobile app for setup isn’t as seamless as I am used to. The instructions say to set up via WiFi but I ended up using an ethernet cable to set it up. Also, if you have Intel-Dual Band Wireless adapters, you must go to the downloadcenter Intel Website to upgrade them to prevent disconnection interruptions.

The key feature of this WiFi router is that it can work with you Amazon Alexa, has blazing speeds, and has a Game Boost feature powered by WTFast Gamers Private Network. This router features 802.11ax WiFi 6th generation, but this is just future-proofing the next generation of WiFi enabled devices. It also has 8 ethernet ports for those who want most of their internet-enabled devices wired (i.e. video game consoles).

---SETUP---
The setup of this Linksys Router was fast. After connecting the router, you wait for a blinking light to turn purple (around 1 minute or less). While you’re doing that, download the Linksys APP to you mobile device and the app will search for your router. Follow the onscreen prompts to set up the router. The app itself will ask you if you want to add more nodes to extend the WiFi around your home.

The performance of this router is excellent. The router that it replaced didn’t reach all the way to my kitchen area but this new router, before the node was added, gave me some coverage in my kitchen. Adding the node just one room away gave me the extra coverage to my kitchen allowing me to use WiFi devices in a location I previously couldn’t.

---SETUP---
The setup for this device is unique in that it requires an app to be downloaded to you phone called Dario. This turns your phone into a Glucose Meter reader. What you get in the box is a lightning connector for iphones where you will insert the glucose strips. After reading the manual, I was ready for my first test in 10 minutes.

---FEATURES---
The key feature of starter kit is that it reduces the number of things you will carry with you to check your sugar levels on the go. All that you will carry will be a small plastic casing that serves three purposes: to carry your glucose strips, one sterile needle, and the lightning connector that reads the glucose strips made specifically for iPhones (model 5 or later). The overall size of the casing is about half the length of a dollar and about the width of two AA batteries side by side.

---PERFORMANCE---
The performance of this kit is based on your iPhone model. I connected mine to an iPhone X and it worked as expected. The reading of your glucose takes about 6-10 seconds and not once did it give me an error. The casing can be adjusted for several depth options for the needle to poke you. I was comfortable at level 3 while at level one, it didn’t even grace my finger.

I was comfortable at level 3 while at level one, it didn’t even grace my finger.
---EXPECTATIONS---
The product meets my expectations. In the box, you will find 10 plastic bags. These bags are for you to insert your phone in them to protect the phone from blood splatter. I used one bag, but the manual says that the bags are recommended and not necessary for the app or lightning connector to read the strips. I didn’t use the bags again, as it seems silly to be carrying them around. I did enjoy that the app can also scan food items you consume with a barcode by using your phone’s camera. If you’ve ever used a smartwatch that keeps track of your calories, this works in a similar manner. However, I didn’t find that part of the app user friendly. The rest of the app, though, works great. There are some monthly plans that are optional but provide unlimited strips and 100 needles. The plans vary from 30 dollars a month (billed annually at 360 a year) to 85 dollars a month (billed annually at 1,020 a year). Alternatively, you can buy 100 strips at 69.99 a la carte.

I highly recommend this product for diabetics who consistently check their glucose daily but don’t want to be carrying an extra pouch with 2 or 3 different things. This is also perfect for people who may need assistance from a distance, as you can program the app to automatically contact a specific # if the person checking their glucose is either too low or too high (hyper or hypo alerts).

The performance of these headphones is superb. I first tried them in a loud restaurant while I waited for food. It drowned the entire restaurant out. Later that night, I took them to the gym for their intended purpose and as expected, they do keep most outer noise drowned (though these don’t have active noise canceling). They can extend to accommodate various head sizes but they fit me snugg. This is good because if I do workouts on a bench, they won’t slip out.

Trobadour's Questions
Trobadour has not submitted any questions.
Sennheiser - HD1 Free Wireless In-Ear Headphones - Black
Enjoy playlists in private with these Sennheiser wireless earbuds. The three-button remote lets you take calls or cycle through music with a single touch, and the earpieces are magnetic, so they stick to one another to prevent loss while not in use. These Sennheiser wireless earbuds have a range of up to 30 feet from a paired device.
Are these earbuds sweat or waterproof?
The hazard and handling document states to always keep the product dry. No where that I could find does it indicate that it is water or sweat proof. Products like these that are sweat/water proof usually have a bullet on the box stating that, as a competitive edge. There is no such claim on the box either.

Why do I never see the new UHD (4K) projectors on sale. Every other item you sell seems to go on sale at some time.
As with most newer technology, early adopters will pay a higher price for the latest innovation. Though 4K TVs have gone down in price, 4K projectors aren't in as high a demand and it's technology is still costly.

how long does it take to brew 1 cup large (not xtra large) and 1/2 of coffee carafe
The base time to heat up the water takes 3 minutes. From there, to make a cup (including preparation time) you're looking at 2 minutes. Half a carafe would be around 7-8 minutes from the beginning to end.

This system has a hot plate, allowing you to keep the carafe hotter for a longer period of time.

Is it worth the Ninja Coffee Bar Thermal Carafe System, Stainless Carafe (CF 097) over the CF091? The CF091 has a glass carafe than can stay heated in the warming plate vs the CF097 that has a thermal carafe. Trying to decide if it's worth the extra $$
I have the glass carafe and left it on the hot plate while I went to the gym. Came back after 3 hours and the coffee was still hot and tasted great. I'd say it is worth it.

How quiet or loud is this PC? How loud does it get when using Youtube and applications? Thanks
It is fairly quiet when using it to watch films or streaming. I did use it when everyone was sleeping, but the noise that you hear is low. I keep it in the same room where I sleep and my wife doesn't wake up when I use it after she falls asleep.

We live in the country, and can only use satellite internet. It is not a real strong signal, and can be affected easily by weather. We also have a log home, which blocks the signal in certain areas of the house and porch. Would this help in our situation?
This product, though marvelous, can only be as good as your internet service provider. If your internet provider is spotty to begin with, it won't strengthen the signal any further than what you currently have. Weather will still be an issue, if that is what is happening in your area, but that is not related to how well the Netgear Orbi should function. I recommend that you call you ISP and have them realign your internet satellite for a stronger signal before purchasing anything like this. Otherwise, the root of the problem will always be there.
