The ultimate 3D surround experience that will blow you away. You’ve never heard anything like the JBL BAR 1300X—in your living room or anywhere else. More than just a great soundbar, it’s a full sound system. It features MultiBeam and six up-firing drivers—four in the bar and two in the detachable battery-powered surround speakers—that deliver massive Dolby Atmos and DTS:X 3D surround sound, centering you in your music, movies, and games. 1170W of total output power and thrilling bass from a 12” subwoofer is more than enough to make the room shake. Though, you’ll never miss a word with due to our PureVoice technology, which makes sure the dialogue is clear even when other sounds are at their loudest. When you want to enjoy your favorite tunes choose streaming via either AirPlay, Alexa Multiroom Music (MRM), or Chromecast built-in that give you over 300 music streaming options. But that’s not all. Your choices are as unlimited as you are because you can also pair the soundbar to your Bluetooth device. You can even take one of the detachable speakers (or both for powerful stereo sound) out to your kitchen or patio and enjoy listening to your favorite music or podcast there.
 
Your own movie theater-like experience at home.

The system comes packed in a big box that looks like the state of Oklahoma. It comes with a mounting bracket kit for the bar into a wall, two power cables (one for the bar and the other for the subwoofer), and a remote control. I chose to have it under my TV and will not use the mounting bracket. Two detachable surround speakers attach/detach from the soundbar, which is also used to charge the two speakers since they are wireless with built-in batteries. These two speakers have a USB-Type C charging port, three buttons, and a mounting slot. The subwoofer box is big and a bit heavy. The setup was fast and easy since the speakers connect wirelessly using BlueTooth. When celebrating the system, it is important the correct the placement of the detachable speakers to experience the best possible surround sound. The JBL One app guides step-by-step instructions for placing the rear speakers and does the entire calibration in a few minutes.
The methods of connecting the TV to the soundbar are optical cables or HDMI-ARC. For the best experience, I connect the soundbar to the TV using the HDMI-eARC (enhanced audio return channel). If your TV does not have an HDMI-ARC, you can easily convert a regular HDMI port to an HDMI-ARC using your TV’s settings. The ports are all in the back of the soundbar and have various options. An HDMI-eARC both receives audio from the TV and also passes a long video to the TV; this feature allows you to connect game consoles, DVD players, and other HDMI devices onto the soundbar’s HDMI 1, 2,&3 ports instead of connecting the device directly into the TV. If you connect your TV to the soundbar via the digital optical option, the three extra HDMI ports on the soundbar will not work. So if you want to use these additional HDMI ports on the soundbar, you must use the HDMI-eARC. If your TV does not have eARC, just ARC, it will also not work.
To use the system with mobile devices and to update the system software, you must connect it to your home’s Wi-Fi using the JBL One app. It is relatively easy to connect and update the software, which takes about 10 minutes. The app allows for five-level settings for Bass, Mid, and Treble. The app/system has Chromecast built-in availability and the ability to add (integrate) the following music service: (1) Amazon Music, (2) Calm Radio, (3) iHeartRadio, (4) Napster, (5) QoBuz, (6) Tidal, and (7) TuneIn. This type of music stream means that the music is directly streamed into the bar instead of streaming to your mobile device and then to the bar. The benefit of direct streaming is that it gives the system access to higher streaming than Airplay, Bluetooth, or Chromecast. In addition to better music streaming, it frees up your phone audio while the music continues to play. The remote is thin and narrow, with just a few buttons for the most useful things: HDMI (#1, #2, & #3), Dolby (Low, mid & height), Five levels of bass, rear (mute, low, middle & high), TV, Bluetooth, Power, Mute, Volume Up/Down, Calibration, Play, and Heart. The sound is impressive and well-balanced. The pure voice dialogue enhancement technology does enhance the clarity, depth, and richness of voices and ensures every word gets delivered with stunning precision and accuracy.

The specs in this device make this a high premium tier smart TV. The TV mini-LED has over 1,000+ dimming zones, which enhances the image quality and helps with blooming while promising the same impressive brightness. Image banding and upscaling are great on this TV; it makes lower-resolution images fit into the screen by preserving details and making pictures look properly crisp (not blurry or overly sharp). The 1,500 nits peak brightness, a high number of nits for a TV, can make the picture look brighter, producing better images even in very bright rooms. This feature is great when you can't make a room very dark in the daytime because of windows. A native 144hz VRR's extremely high refresh rate makes this TV great for gaming. For gaming, it has an auto low latency mode which the TV automatically switches into the designated setting gaming mode (Note that the gaming console's input must be chosen in the setting for this feature). It has the Wi-FI 6E standard enabled, which benefits homes with wireless networks (routers or mesh Wi-Fi systems) that operate on the new 6 GHz frequency band. This new band has less interference with other devices, and speed is much faster, so you won't have streaming issues if you have fast Gigabit internet.
The Google TV control comes with many smart features and streaming apps. The control includes buttons for the most popular apps and a voice-controlled mic via Google Assistant. Attaching the stand is fast and very easy to do. Note: that it requires two people to move and set up. Place the TV face down on top of a flat surface, insert base stands into the bottom slots on the TV, and finally, stand the TV upright on top of a sturdy table. The physical look and design of the TV is simple. The two feet (base stand) pro is set up high enough for it to fit a low profile sound bar beneath (up to 2.5" at the center of the TV). A port array on the back features four (4) HDMI 2.1 ports (2x 4K@144Hz and 2x@60Hz). As my personal preference, I will install dedicated home theater speakers with a soundbar. This TV does include great speakers, which produce impressive sound. It has ATSC 3.0 broadcast standard antenna, so it is the latest, and a NextGenTV tuner. Compared to my older TV, I get more broadcast channels, better reception with an improved digital signal, and 4K pictures in my area. To conclude,, I am satisfied with this new Hisense smart TV.

Now more than ever, home devices have increased, e.g., home theaters, game rooms, offices, etc…, and in most cases, the standard duplex (2) wall outlet will not be enough. The solution when you need more outlets is the 360 Electrical power outlets. Getting this product is the easiest and fastest way to upgrade and multiply outlets. This product can rotate each outlet and allows the plugging of oversize and chunky chords. Each of the sockets rotates 360 degrees. Another benefit is its surge protection built-in (up to 1080 joules) to protect expensive devices such as laptops, computers, and televisions. The manufacturer includes a connected equipment warranty. The power outlets also have four (4) USB-A 24 watts shared ports. The five (5) feet long power cord is braided (feels thick and heavy-duty), and that plug is at a 90-degree angle so you can back up any furniture. The rotating outlets look modern, heavy-duty, and excellent for protecting devices. To conclude, this surge protection rotating outlet is a wise investment to protect all types of electrical devices.

This Dell XPS 15 is the perfect portable laptop to replace a desktop computer—a tremendous multi-use laptop for students, businesses, and professionals. The sleek, thin, and aluminum design makes it pleasant to carry around. It is not lightweight but not too heavy either; it weighs 4 lbs. and is 3.25 oz (1.9kg), like the average for this type of laptop. The charging brick is thin, the cable is 9 feet long, and the connection to the laptop is USB type C. The display is matte and non-touch, with excellent color accuracy, anti-reflective and lovely resolution. I have an issue seeing the display for both indoor and outdoor use. The trackpad is large and responsive. The speakers are excellent. The heat is well managed and disbursed underneath the bottom and rear vents. It has three (3) USB-C ports, which are full function for (1)data, (2)charge, (3) display out, and (4) Thunderbolt 4. The box includes a hub adapter to make one of these ports into a USB Type A and HDMI. A full-size SD card slot and a 3.5 mm microphone/ headphone jack exist on the right side of the XPS. On the left is a Kensington Security Slot to secure the laptop to a desk with a cable lock (not included). It has a sleek and durable design, fast response and performance, and features make this a premium Windows.

This is the smallest and easiest to put on of all the fitness and sleep trackers on the market. It is excellent to track workouts and sleep. The ring is charged by sliding it on top of its charger stand. I am satisfied with the duration of the battery life, lasting 4-5 days. The ring software gives me an overall status and readiness for the day. The Readiness feature gives you the resting heart rate, variability, respiratory rate, average blood oxygen, body temperature, and sleep score. Sleep can tell you how long you are in bed, the sleep efficiency, and the stages (REM, Light, and Deep sleep).
The main reason for the Oura ring is to understand my sleep, improve my lifestyle behaviors, and how changes in my life impact my overall sleep quality. My sleep quality has improved after using the ring, and has resulted in a more energized and productive day. Along with other lifestyle habits, mindfulness, exercise, and healthy eating, the ring improves my quality of life. Overall, I am satisfied with the Oura ring.

I was very excited to try this new technology for styling my hair. I am constantly using a blow dryer and a flat iron because I like my hair straight (my natural hair is curly), so I was happy to find a method of straightening it with less damage. It works really great on my hair! My sister also tried it out, and it worked well, although it took more time because she has longer and curlier hair. In comparison to the blow dryer or flat iron, however, I would say it takes slightly less time. This dryer works like a vacuum: it suctions your hair, but you have to separate it in small sections. You don't need to use a brush like with the other hair dryers. I pass it through my hair a few times - around five times per section - from all the way up to the roots.
It is important to note the size of this air dryer. It is big and heavy, which is the only thing I don't really like about it. It is not something you can take anywhere, but it works great if you are going to keep it in a fixed place. Another thing to keep in mind is that it has many parts to it, and it's very different from a typical hair dryer. Once you get the hang of it, though, it is a great way to style your hair so that it won't damage with so much heat. Overall, I am satisfied with the product and pleased to have tried it out!

As a student, having a reliable laptop is a must. This is my first Acer laptop, but I decided to try it out because it seemed like it would fit my needs. The set-up was quick and simple - I was done syncing it to my existing account and phone within minutes (You do have to download an app to link up to your phone). I also enjoy the touch-screen feature! The laptop is quite big, but it's not as heavy as I thought it would be considering it's size. I do like the big screen, though, because it allows me to have a clear view when working on any projects and for entertainment when I am watching videos or movies. I was very excited when I saw that the laptop comes with a focus feature which you can connect to your Microsoft To-Do list and Spotify account. This feature is a timer that you set for a “focus session” so that you can get your tasks done and avoid distractions for a period of time. I find this method of working/studying to be super effective and it feels so rewarding when I am able to finish things that I need to do. Moreover, the laptop has a long battery-life and I also love how lengthy the charger is! It comes with more than enough memory space to store various files, presentations, and videos. I do wish the volume of the laptop was a little louder, but it quickly connects to my speaker via Bluetooth so that I can play music/movies on it and enjoy a large screen and sufficient volume. Overall, I am happy with how easy it is to use and with all the great features it comes with.

This air fryer is a healthier way to cook food, especially traditionally cooked with a lot of oil. With it, cooking requires very little to almost no cooking oil, and you can even make it better by using healthier oils, like olive or avocado. The Cosori has many functions on the front panel, making cooking more effortless. For the presets button, turn on the unit, select the preset needed, adjust temperature and time, and press start. Also, if you are using the app (smart Wi-Fi) following the recipe (with video clips of each step), you can choose via smartphone when to start and end; you get a notification of the cooking process. My favorite preset/option is to make bacon because it gets cooked evenly without being burnt, and you don’t have to worry about oil splashing everywhere. Any oil in the air fryer keeps contained, so there is no more messy stove top. The external dimension, 10.75-inch wide x 12-inch height x 12-inch depth, does make this product convenient to store and use over any countertop. The measurement of the inner basket is 9 in x 9 in x 3.5in. The power cord is long enough, 3 feet long, to reach most kitchen plugs. Cleaning the outer and inner baskets is easy with regular dish soap and water. To make it easier for the cleaning process, I reheat the dirty empty baskets for a couple of minutes, and all the burnt food items/greasy come out very quickly with paper towels. And then I wash it with soap and water.
I also tried making “fried” sweet plantains - a favorite in my home - and it turned out so good!! I cut the plantains into slices, put them in the air fryer, and added just a bit of oil. I shook it once to let them thoroughly cook, and they were ready within minutes! I loved it because it saved me time and oil. Overall, this is a good air fryer with a feature that works with a smartphone to help you cook healthier food with easy-to-follow recipes. In the long run, you will be healthier and save money from eating out and using less oil for cooking meals.

This Norelco 7000 is a perfect multi-groom device for the face, head, and body. It has a dual-cut blade that is great for maximum precision grooming and functions as a self-sharpening. The stainless steel handle feels good on your hand, with rubber on the grip end. The primary metal trimmer attachment works for face and body trimming needs. For head trimming, it comes with an extra wide trimming attachment to help capture more hair for each stroke. The kit has a quarter-inch steel precision trimmer attachment for detailed styles and type laces. All the plastic guards are strong and don’t bend easily to ensure safety and even trim every time. I like cleaning this multi-groom because the trimmer and all the attachments are faucet washable. Additional accessories include the nose and ear trimmer, a small cleaning brush, a storage bag, and a USB-A charging cable. The kit does not include the charging adapter, but most homes have at least one from other devices or mobile phones. The lithium-ion battery is good since it gives about five (5) hours of cordless use. The trimmer can’t be used while it is plugged in (charging). This Norelco multi-groom is impressive, with premium quality and precision trimming. The blades are sharp, and I can feel them because it trims smoothly. Overall, this multi-groom is simple to use, quality made, and does a great job at trimming.

This tank inkjet printer exceeds my expectations for quality, quantity, and speed printing. Installing the software/app, doing the setup, and filling the tank reservoir with the four ink colors were easy, and it took less than 30 minutes. The ink refill bottles are color-coded and designed only to fit the correct ink color, with no chance of mixing colors. The small and straightforward control panel is not a touch-screen control.
Printing in black/white and color is high quality with sharp and detailed pints. If you use photo paper, your images come out looking very nice. I have used matte and gloss paper; all pictures come without smears. There are no smudge prints, even photo prints. The back feeding tray accepts standard-size paper and most envelopes.
I have used it for some time and have had no connection or print issues. After many prints, the ink level on the tanks is still very high. Being an All-In-One printer, it is surprising that it is small and very lightweight, which is excellent if you need to move it around. I am glad I got this high-quality ink tank reservoir and fast printer.

Will it work for PS4 my hdmi port went out?

My son connects his XBox One to the monitor using an HDMI cable and it works perfectly fine. I am pretty sure that it will work the same for the PS4. If work case scenario is that it does not work, just return it back to the store. Best Buy is very customer friendly and they will happily accept your returns.

Can this monitor be put on a desk mount?

The monitor is not VESA mount compatible. To have it mounted you would need to get a VESA adapter mount, sold separately. If you use an adapter, you will need to be careful when adjusting the mount and by using the adapter it might void the warranty. It is a good monitor but it is not a VESA mount compatible.

Since this laptop lacks an HDMI port, is there a way to output video to a monitor/TV? And if so, what would the maximum resolution/refresh rate be?

This laptop has 1 USB-C type port and Best Buy does sell adapters that you can connect an HDMI. Search for USB-C to HDMI adapter. I have used a USB-C to HDMI adapter on my other laptops and I have not had an issue with the image quality. You may also use a streaming device on your TV/monitor and then stream from the laptop with Bluetooth. The simplest method would be the USB-C to HDMI adapter.
