I was looking for a way to add some modern features to my vintage stereo receiver - and this device really delivers! I connected this to the AUX input on my receiver and in minutes was able to pair it to my Sony walkman, and my Samsung phone. The quality of the sound was very, very good. I had no problem adjusting the volume (using the controls on the device, on my phone or walkman, or on the receiver). It has added new life to my home stereo system!

I really like this movie - the way it covers Europe and its inclusion of local music makes it a really fun movie. For those who have been fortunate enough to have seen a little of Europe, the film will bring back fond memories.

This task lamp is actually better than advertised! Fully charged I have operated it for over 5 hours when set to minimum brightness - and that is more than adequate for most situations, with the lamp directly above the material illuminated. I find it extremely useful because it is easily moved from one location to another for whatever the need is - such as the kitchen table for tax returns, or my computer table to better illuminate some manual. I recommend it!

I have lost two camera to weather. One simply because the humidity killed it. One simply because of a little dust in the air. This had till now severely limited my pursuit of photography outdoors. This camera is a little miracle! It's weatherization allows one to use it in most outdoor situations without having to take great pains to protect it from the weather, or other adverse conditions experienced outdoors. I don't need any contraptions to protect it - it simply hangs from my neck and is easy to operate. The camera body fits my hand easily, and provides easy access to all controls. The lens provided (which is also weatherized) is excellent for the broad range of situations I encounter outdoors. This camera truly is a little miracle for those who wish to expand their skills in outdoor photography. I have attached 4 sample photos - be aware that each had to be sized down to meet the size constraints of the website. One is a shot of a cardinal high up on a tree top. It was taken at max zoom, handheld. Another is of a pileated woodpecker that I was able to get closer to. It too was taken at max zoom, handheld. The dual stabilization does a fantastic job. Another shot is of the near total eclipse of the moon on 19 Nov 2021, at maximum extinction. It was taken at max zoom, handheld, at below freezing temperatures. Finally is a picture of a dramatic sunrise, taken at mid zoom, handheld.
This camera has opened up a whole new world of photography for me. I highly recommend it!

Philips - Wireless Over-Ear Noise Canceling Headphones- Black - Black
The Philips PH805 headphones give you control over what you hear and what you don’t, no matter what the day brings you. Enjoy your favorite songs in Hi-Res Audio during your morning workout in wireless freedom. Switch to Google assistant to check your flight information with a touch, and then enjoy your flight in silence by activating noise canceling. And enjoy your videos in high quality sound once you get to the hotel. One set of headphones can now cover all of your needs. With the PH805, you control what you hear and what you don’t hear. A tap to the ear-cup will activate noise cancelation, so you can be enveloped in a shroud of silence when you need to concentrate or rest. If you want to turn the volume down on the world but still hear louder sounds like someone speaking to you, simply activate Awareness Mode with another tap. The PH805 comes with Google Assistant, which allows you to manage your life on the move, without taking out your phone. Just touch the headband to activate it. Open your calendar, read notifications from your phone, call or send messages to friends, or check the weather simply by asking Google Assistant. The PH805 is also a quality headphone set that delivers detailed, high resolution sound, which you can use as your go-to headphones for home or on the go entertainment. Hi-Res Audio means that they are capable of playing back lossless audio at a higher sample rate than most headphones and CDs when connected to a high-res source. The benefits of the PH805 last for a full 30 hours, making them an ideal solution for every situation you find yourself in throughout the day (and night). You get up to 30 hours of play time (or talk time) with noise canceling off, or 25 hours of use with it on. If you need an extra 2 to 6 hours of battery life, 5 to 15 minutes of charging will be enough. The Philips PH805 has you covered. And when you are finally through using the Philips PH805s, they fold right up into a compact travel case, making them convenient to take with you wherever you go.

This is a set of noise-cancelling, wireless headphones that has the most important qualities of its much more expensive competition. But it does miss some of the features of those headsets. Its pros are: it has good quality sound; it has good battery life; it has good bluetooth range; it connects to sources well; it is comfortable; it has a nice case. Its one most obvious fault is that it comes with only one EQ setting. That setting provides pretty flat response across the spectrum -- it works well for vocals, instrumental, classical, pop, operetta, opera. I find it also works well with tv programs - if there is any lag it is imperceptible to me. If you are looking for a set of wireless headphones that are of good quality, but can't justify paying a high price, these are a good choice.

This Cubii is excellent for getting some exercise regularly during the very cold and icy winters of Minnesota. It is a quality product that will last a very long time. It is whisper quiet, and does not dominate a room - making it great in a modestly sized apartment. I recommend it highly.

This headset has very good audio! I have tested it on my Xbox One X console, my S7 Edge cell phone, and on my desktop computer. It has good audio with the mic, but the mic needs to be positioned close to your mouth. It is a very comfortable headset! It is a solidly made headset, and looks sharp but not garish. I recommend it highly!
