These are officially my Go-To Earbuds!
on July 1, 2018
Posted by: TechMatcher
from Minneapolis
I'm excited to write this review of my #1 earbuds - the Jabra Elite 65t! I had the product for roughly 3 weeks now - and waited a bit longer than normal to write my review to ensure I didn't find something wrong that I wasn't expecting - and the fact that I've been travelling a bit more lately!
Let's get to it - hands down, the best workout (running, lifting, cardio-machine) earbuds I've tried. The overall design, a grippy finish and snug fit make them the most secure earbuds I've had in my ears thus far. Other earbuds I find myself readjusting about every 5-10 minutes to ensure a good fit or they start feeling loose - not these!
Did I mention I sweat like crazy - yes - even in my ears. The IP56 rating makes these sweat-proof - and for added testing I've consistently worn them in the Lifetime Fitness steam room with excellent sound and results. No issues thus far with water what-so-ever!
For sound quality - I find these produce a nice balanced sound that you can tweat a bit with the Jabra app. For truly wireless earbuds - I feel these produce the best sound of nearly any on the market - and I've tested many!
The built-in accelerometer allows you to count steps or pause the music when you remove them from your ears (you can also double tap of the right ear button to allows ambient noise through - called HearThrough - so you can can have a conversation if needed while wearing them). The passive noise-cancelling feature is bonus and of course doesn't use precious battery life.
Speaking of batteries, a full charge gives roughly 5 hours of play time and a quick charge feature can add 90 minutes of playtime in only a 15 min charge. I also love the charging case! I provides two functions for me - one helps me so I don't lose them (since they are pretty small) and also provide 2 additional full charges for those times when your travelling or camping and don't have a convenient plug-in nearby.
As part of my job - I am on conference calls nearly all day. While I have a dedicated headset for this purpose, I thought I'd give the 65t's a try. I was pleasantly surprised at the audio quality, and my call recipients were equally impressed with my voice quality! While these will not replace my fulltime headset, they would work great as a substitute if needed!
Overall - I'm very impressed with these earbuds and will promote to them to the coveted #1 spot on my go-to list. Nice job Jabra!

Easy install and setup!
on June 3, 2018
Posted by: TechMatcher
from Minneapolis
I'm not normally lazy, but I hate getting out of bed to turn off the hall or stairway light after all the kids climb into bed. Enter the TP-Link HS210 Smart switch! I installed the smart switches on just one end of the 3-way switch to allow me to stay in bed and use the app to control the lights - or from the main level, use Alexa to control the lights!
Depending on your switch config, you may have to purchase a new cover plate - like if you have 3 normal switches and now you installed one of the HS210 switches with is a "wider" switch style. Obviously, it won't fit into your existing narrow switch cover plate. No biggie - they are like $5.
If you haven't installed electrical switches before, be careful and shut off the power. Take before photos so you know how to connect them - and to revert back if you have issues!
Overall - very cool and functional addition to the house!

The Superior Robot vacuum in my house
on June 3, 2018
Posted by: TechMatcher
from Minneapolis
Yes - I'm a bit of a tech geek. I have 3 robot vacuums - one on each floor of my 3 level home. Each vacbot is a different model - so this was a good test. So far - I think I like the Samsung vacbot the best - here's why.
1. It's got great suction and it is QUIETIER.
2. It cleans in corn rows (straight lines) unlike one of my other vacbots that just bounces off things.
3. It has both an App and Remote that allow me to drive it around, chase the cat, focus on a spot, etc. Neither of my two other vacbots have that.
4. Mobile app is very easy to schedule a cleaning time. "Ollie" cleans my floors tirelessly 6 days a week at 10 AM.
5. This vacbot was top pick in the Consumer Reports robotic vacuum roundup. I use Consumer Reports quite a bit when making purchase decisions.
The only bad thing about these vacbots is they are a little difficult to empty out the dust bin. On the Samsung, you actually have to disassemble a few parts to do it. It works ok - just adds a few steps to do daily.
Occasionally, all my vacbots get lost and I have to carry them back to the base station, not that big of a deal to me. Also, then sometimes get stuck by or under a lower piece of furniture - and the Samsung is not different in that regards.
Overall - I plan to "promote" Ollie to cleaning my main floor and "demote" one of my other bots to the basement. They are a little pricey, but will admit that I don't use my Dyson vacuum as much anymore except on tougher spots - you can't beat the suction power of a corded vacuum with a robot vac just yet.
Curious? Take a chance and see how it does for yourself! I bet you'll keep it!

Clever Camera - creative uses
on June 3, 2018
Posted by: TechMatcher
from Minneapolis
To be honest - I was a little unsure how to "test" this Google Clips camera. I already have my house monitored by 8 wireless cameras, so I wasn't sure of how to use or where to place it. After thinking a few days - BOOM - I had an idea!
In the last few days, I've been attend High School Graduation parties. I decided to clip the camera on the photo boards that the graduates are displaying - capturing candid shots of the guests as they walk past looking at the pictures! AWESOME! We got some pretty cool shots!
The camera itself is impressive. It has 16GB storage, a large 130 degree field of view and takes live photo shots! My only complaint is the 3 hour battery life. You have to recharge it everyday at a minimum - so just another thing I have to remember to plug in.
The concept is great - but I'd like to see an 8+ hour battery. I turned it on before the 4 hours grad party started so I could gather some of the setup, and burned through an hours and a half of the battery - so only could capture 90 minutes of the party....
I'd also like to see a few different mounts come standard. Perhaps a suction cup, larger clip and adjustable angle.
Overall - if you're looking for a new perspective on your photos - this is a very cool addition to parties, events and normal family life!

Very cool and fun!
on June 3, 2018
Posted by: TechMatcher
from Minneapolis
Every once in a while a product come along that really impresses me. This Canon IVY mini photo printer is definitely one of those! I've impressed more that a few people at recent graduation parties by taking a selfie with the new grad and pulling this little printer out of my pocket and creating an instant photo for them! They absolutely love it!
There are a couple things to know:
1. Takes about 30 seconds to print a picture. Kinda long, but for the convenience and cool factor - not bad.
2. It holds 10 sheets of paper and you should buy paper by the 50 pack. You'll burn through them quickly at a party as everybody wants a photo shot.
3. The pictures are really convenient wallet size - people throw them in their wallet and carry them around.
4. Full charge takes a little over an hour.
The software (app) is basically a full featured software editor! You can add text, frames, graphics - very cool! This is one device I'm going to carry around with me - might even earn a spot in my backpack for a while!
A quick note is that I would recommended a bundle purchase of more paper, tether strap and a carrying case!
Nice job Canon - I can see lots of people using these!

Great sound, decent noise cancelling, fits well!
on May 29, 2018
Posted by: TechMatcher
from Minneapolis
Overall - great fit in my ears and very comfortable. Others have complained about comfort - but I guess it's really personal preference! Even with Active Noise Cancelling (ANC) turned on, I get just about 8 hours of run time and a quick 2 hour charge! These Jabra 65e's have "EarGel" ear pieces, helping to block out noise withing even being turned on and make them for comfortable for duration wearing!
The snug fitting buds hold tight to my sweaty ears even during workouts - a definite plus. The con is I find myself taking one ear bud out when trying to talk to people.
I commute on a public bus to avoid rush hour traffic, and these work just great for that! Block out all that unwanted bus and traffic noise.
Great for listening to audio books! The neck halo is comfortable, but eventually I'll likely upgrade to true wireless earbuds and not have the wire draping around my neck.
My friends tell me the call quality is good - and could be easily used in the car - just be careful as you may not hear other driving sounds that are important to you! I find myself NOT using the hands free features and talking with on the bus though - looks to much like I'm talking to myself and to easy for others to hear.
Use the mobile app to tweak your listening experience a bit - not necessary but kind of cool.
Unfortunately, they did not come with a bag, pouch or case of any sort. A bit of a miss in my opinion as many of us will take these on the go and just have throw them in the bag or backpack with the rest of your junk. I suppose the quality build and materials can take it, but would have been nice to include a case.

Easy setup, stunning sound distribution!
on May 5, 2018
Posted by: TechMatcher
from Minneapolis
I’ve burned through several receivers over the last 20 years – and have kept upgrading my equipment to match the technology it drives – and this Sony DH790 is no exception as I needed it to handle my 4K TV and my first attempt at Dolby Atmos sound.
What is Atmos? It’s even greater surround sound – based on sounds objects vs sound channels. It’s been described as “To help deliver this vision, Atmos equipped cinemas have side speakers that start from the edge of the screen and go all around the auditorium, additional subwoofers and two speaker arrays going directly overhead. Since its launch Atmos has been installed on over 650 screens in 40 countries, including 9 screens in the UK, and 120 films have been made with Dolby Atmos soundtracks, including Gravity, Godzilla and X-Men: Days of Future Past.”
One of the first things I noticed with this unit is the accuracy of the sound setup with the microphone. Set the microphone on your favorite seat and run through your speakers – it’s adjust the sound automatically and accurately – more than I can say for many of the receivers I’ve owned. As experienced with many other users, I can finally hear my rear speakers for both movie viewing and audio listening!
With more than enough power, 4K and 3D pass through features and very reasonable price – you can go wrong if you’re in the market for a solid receiver!

Excellent warm sound! Easy to use and carry!
on May 5, 2018
Posted by: TechMatcher
from Minneapolis
The device is perfect for me. For my job, I do lots of presentations to both small and medium sized audiences. On the side, I co-chair a local Technical User Group, coordinate the meeting, setup the venue and provide audio/video needs for the group. Enter the Bose S1 Pro Portable speaker! It’s Awesome!
Both corded and battery powered, Bluetooth enabled (so I play warm up music before my presentations right off my phone), and 2 input channels for which I use one for a microphone and the other for computer sounds. Just perfect. How’s it sound? Crisp, clean and full. The 4 speakers in this unit produce beautiful, even sound – even from the microphone.
For playing music – it’s not the loudest device – much quieter than you’d expect for its physical size but adequate for small rooms, ceremonies and gatherings.
I love that the speaker can be used in multiple positions – mounted on a stand, set on the floor, angled on floor or cabinet.
Overall – great warm sound, super easy and convenient to setup and use! I love it!

Awesome upgrade!
on April 27, 2018
Posted by: TechMatcher
from Minneapolis
Hi All! I'm completely stoked about the new Asus ROG GU501 gaming laptop! My overall impression is it is a fast capable machine that will handle nearly any game you play - there are a few notes on that I'll discuss later. See my attached pictures of performance stats and the ROG gaming center screen - the latter allowing you to create profiles and override certain features to make your gaming experience better!
When playing either Fortnite or Witcher 3, this rig handled the games smoothly and easily. Project Cars however, when playing with 10+ other cars on the track struggled a bit and made it difficult to steer. I think games with this much realism require more memory and high end graphics cards to always operate smoothly.
The 6 core, 3.9Ghz system with 16GB RAM is on par with Asus high end gaming laptops. They usually feature a higher end screen with G-Sync and or more SSD drive space (GM501GS or GM501GM) but have most other components exactly the same.
The body of the laptop is sleek, black metal that may show scratches if you wear a metal watch or rings. The ASUS Aura SYNC backlit chiclet keyboard has all individually light rainbow LEDs that is fully programmable but the keys are a bit small for my preference for you full time. Most people will opt for a full size keyboard for a more natural feel.
One of the first things I noticed was the large speaker on this laptop. It's a full 2" right near the screen - one thing that makes this such a big unit. Sounds great! Dual array microphones it a super feature as well!
Overall again, this is a solid entry level gaming laptop for those wanna be gamers. It can be used as a full desktop replacement machine as well - and I'll likely use it as both. Aside from the occasional fan noise as references by others and a non-4k, non-touchscreen screen, this is an awesome unit and worthy of your consideration!

Wow - Great picture!
on April 10, 2018
Posted by: TechMatcher
from Minneapolis
I'll admit I was a bit skeptical - I've paid for cable TV for the last 30 years! It took me all of 5 minutes to hook the MoHu blade up to my TV and set in on my window sill for initial testing purposes.
After power on the TV, switching inputs from HDMI to TV, going into the TV menu to select AIR vs CABLE for signal and then letting the TV auto-program itself - I was watching 50 channels FREE with very good sound and picture quality! I did notice a few of the channels produced a "digitized" picture with broken sound - that could be the initial placement of my antenna and signal. I noticed about 40% of the channels do not take up the full width of the TV screen, but the main local channels come in very clear!
Overall - very impressed and will play around a bit with antenna position. I'm paying over $200/month for cable + internet and bet I could reduce that to $40-60 per month for just internet! This device deserves some serious consideration!

Garmin Speak~ Plus with Amazon Alexa is what you love about Amazon Alexa, now in your vehicle. Use voice control for hands-free access to music, news, navigation and more. Plus, a built-in dash cam gives you forward collision and lane departure warnings.
 

Can the lane departure tones be turned off? It's really really annoying! Goes off every time you come up on a car at a stop light. It's not realistic to stay 5 car lengths away from the car in front of you at a light...lots birds would be flipped at You!

Aside from muting the device itself, you can turn off selective features: https://www8.garmin.com/manuals/webhelp/speakplus/EN-US/GUID-EFD3414D-5D4A-4BB7-9496-ECAD2C4D994E.html

I don't see anything about just turning off the tone for that specific feature.

Since there is no graphics card, I'm curious to the max resolution. My Dell monitor is capable of 2560x1440. Will I need an add on card to get this resolution?

No - you don't need to add a graphics card. I'm running 2560x1440 resolution on my ASUS 2K monitor right now from this machine.

Make your home an internet haven with this versatile Linksys Velop wireless Wi-Fi system. Three identical tri-band dual-stream AC2200 routers, each equipped with a quad-core ARM Cortex-A7 processor, deliver lightning-fast internet. Equipped with Bluetooth 4.0/LE, this Linksys Velop wireless Wi-Fi system is simple to set up and pairs easily with computers, tablets and smart devices.
 

Will this system work in a metal building with walls, I have AT&T and currently use an M-Cell booster from them but it does not extend my service throughout the entire building.

Unfortunately, you never know for sure until you've tried it - as all structures and materials are a bit different. However, using a three node system like this starts you off with better odds that a single router! Give it a try and see how it works!

I currently have the latest AT&T Pace modem / router. Can the AT&T modem be placed into a bridge mode enabling just the modem function? From research, this is a very complicated procedure. I would prefer to return the rental AT&T unit.

I would agree with your second statement - and would always recommend that people purchase their own dedicated modem (cable or DSL) and then use a separate dedicated router configuration. You have more control that way - can keep your devices firmware updated regularily, and usually have better equipment!
