Powerful!
on September 6, 2021
Posted by: Longhorn74

This Sony subwoofer is powerful! This subwoofer connects to the Sony HT-A7000 soundbar flawlessly. All you have to do is plug in the power cord and it will sync in automatically with the soundbar. It has a redlight that will turn green once they are synced. If you want to really hear the thuds while you are watching a movie, then you really got to get this subwoofer, because it really brings the bass. I have had many subwoofers from Samsung and Klipsch, but this Sony really outduels them. If you really want the home theatre experience, then you really need to get this Sony subwoofer, I highly recommend it.

Great addition to the soundbar system
on September 2, 2021
Posted by: Longhorn74
from McKinney, TX
This pair of mini rear speakers are a great add on to the A7000 Sony Soundbar system. They are about 6 inches in height and 3.5 in width. These speakers really complete the set as they provided that true surround sound to your tv set up. Just like anything, these speakers have pros and cons, but there are more pros in my opinion. Let's start with the good stuff. To begin with, they are extremely easy to set up. The set up is wireless and it will sync up with the soundbar very easy. One thing you have to watch out for, make sure these speakers are compatible with the HT-A7000 soundbar. This caution is given to you in the first paragraph of the owner's manuel. If you are into watching many movies, then adding these speakers will make a difference as you get to enjoy those extra background sounds that are often missed without these types of speakers. Each speaker comes with a 6 foot power cord. You can mount these speakers, but since they don't come with real lengthy cords, it is highly recommended that you mount them too high as you will lose some of that surround sound. They are simplistic in their design, but they definitely look good. I like that they are small because depending on your set up, you can easily hide them from view. Overall, if you are going to invest in the Sony HT-A7000 soundbar, you might as well complete the set and get the mini surround sound speakers to really get that movie theatre sound in your home.

Difference maker!
on July 29, 2021
Posted by: Longhorn74
from McKinney, TX
This Turtle Beach wired Recon controller is a difference maker when it comes to gaming. I own an Xbox, but maybe because I am older, I prefer to play most of my games on a PC, so that it was what I have primarily used this controller on. The only drawback to using this controller on a PC is that you can't utilize the chat mix feature, but it works perfectly fine on the Xbox. When you pull it out of the box, you will immediately feel how sturdy and well put together this controller is, so you know that you aren't getting some cheap knockoff. At the same time it isn't this heavy paperweight. Once it is out of the box, all you have to do is plug and get to gaming. A nice feature of this type of controller is that you don't have to worry about keeping it charged, since it is wired. As soon as you get a new controller, you always spend time getting adjusted for the feel of the controller. When you do that with this Recon controller, you immediately notice the cooling grips make this controller feel really comfortable in your hands.
What really sets this Turtle Beach Recon controller apart is the Pro-aim focus feature and the superhuman hearing. The Pro-aim focus feaure is one of the two mappable buttons. This feature will give you an advantage with long-range accuracy. The other difference maker is the Superhuman hearing feature. This feature will give you an audio advantage when it comes to hearing quiet footsteps and even when an opponent reloads their weapon. Overall, you can't go wrong with going with this Turtle Beach wired Recon controller. If you are looking to purchase a new controller that will make a difference in your gaming I highly recommend this one.

Very versatile and a great value!
on July 8, 2021
Posted by: Longhorn74
from McKinney, TX
I have had this Logitech G335 wired gaming headset for a little over a week and they are awesome. The first thing you will notice when you pull them out of the box is how light weight they are. Once you put them on your head you will really notice how light weight they really are. It comes with a nice reversible soft adjustable strap to ensure they fit comfortably on your head. Speaking of comfortable, this headset also comes with soft memory foad earpads. This really helps when I sit down to game 3 to 4 hours at a time. With this Logitech G335 there is no app to download, all you do is plug in the 3.5 mm audio jack and you are ready to play! The volume controler is located right on the ear cup for quick access. I like how I can easily mute just by simply flipping up the mic. There are two main determining factors that help you decide on a gaming headset: comfort and sound. I have already talked about how comfortable they are on my head and ears, but for this price range, these G335 deliver excellent sound. They come with 40 mm neodymium drivers that really deliver crisp, clear audio. Another plus that I really like about this Logitech G335 gaming headset is that I can use them on my PC and Playstation 5. There are some headsets that limit you to either a PC or a specific gaming console, but not this headset. Overall, I am extremely pleased that I got this gaming headset. I highly recommend this headset if you are looking to get a versatile headset at a reasonable price.

Good electric shaver for the price!
on July 2, 2021
Posted by: Longhorn74
from McKinney, TX
This is my second Norelco electric shaver that I have owned in the last 3 years and there is a considerable improvement from my old one. Let's start with the charging time. All you need is 1 hour of charging time for 60 minutes of shaving time. I easily get 3 good shaves out of 1 charge! The shaver also comes with a nice little charge indicator to let you know how much juice the shaver has left. The next thing you will notice is how easy it is to grip this Norelco. The stem is wrapped with a nice anti-slip rubber that makes handling much easier. Once you are ready to start shaving, I really like how I have the option of either having a dry or wet shave. If I am needing a quick clean up, then I go dry, but if I want a closer shave, I always use shaving foam. I have really sensitive skin, so I really appreciate the pivot and flex heads on this Philips Norelco. Not only do they provide a clean shave, but it doesn't irritate my face. I really like how well it shaves my face and neck, but the only reason why I gave it 4 out of 5 stars is because doesn't do that good of a job right underneath my jaw line. Another plus of this Norelco, is how easy it is to clean it. All you have to do is flip open the shaver head and rinse with water. On the back side of the shaver you will find the pop up trimmer, which is usefull, but it takes a while to get used to using on your sideburns, as I found it a little awkward to handle on my face. Overall, I would recommend this Philips Norelco shaver because it does a good job of getting you a clean shave without irritating your skin, especially in this price range.

Versatile

Posted by: Longhorn74

My wife and I love this Raycop UV compact cordless stick allergen vacuum. It comes in a no frills box where you can easily remove all of the parts to put your vacuum together. It is extremely easy to assemble and change out the accessories. You can very easily and quickly change this vacuum from a stick vacuum to a hand held. I got this vacuum because of its unique feature with the UV bulb. When you are using the vacuum, you can choose 3 levels of sucking power, depending on what you need to vacuum. I always use the highest suction on the carpet, but if I am using the stick on a bare floor, I go with a lower power to conserve battery power. The cannister that holds the dirt is rather small, but then again, I never intended for this vacuum to handle big jobs. I love the versatility and how light it is. Overall, we are very satisfied with this Raycop UV + compact cordless stick allergen vacuum.

Amazing Display!
on June 7, 2021
Posted by: Longhorn74
from McKinney, TX
When you are deciding on a purchase like this Asus 31.5" gaming monitor, the number one consideration is the display. Once you have this bad boy set up, you will not be disappointed. This monitor comes in a rather large box, but don't let that deceive you. The monitor itself weighs only about 20 lbs. Once you get it out of the box, it is very simple to attach it to its stand. I have 2 other 27" monitors, but this Asus 31.5" makes them look small. After you hook it up to your CPU, this is where you must have some patience because it does take a while to make all of the necessary adjustments to get the right display. Some people get a little impatient because they want it to be perfect right out of the box, but if you want near seamless play, then you have to spend some time making the proper adjustments. Once you have it set up the way you like it, you won't find a bad angle because of the curvature of the screen. As soon as you get your favorite game going, you will notice the reasons why you got this monitor:
*Amazing refresh rate- This will help minimize motion blur and lag.
*Sharper images-Extreme Low Motion Blur which allows for 1 ms response time.
*Awesome color and brightness levels-this monitor is compatible with HDR10.
*Shadow boost-this helps bring out the details in the darker areas.
My only con with this monitor are the speakers. My main reason for getting this monitor were for the visual reasons and not the audio, but I feel like Asus could have installed better speakers.
I have had this monitor for about a week and everyday I can't wait to get home from work and fire up my favorite games on this Asus monitor. If you want to get serious about gaming, then I highly recommend this monitor, you won't be disappointed.

Small speaker that packs a punch!
on May 27, 2021
Posted by: Longhorn74
from McKinney, TX
Everyone in the family loves this Anker Soundcore Select Pro bluetooth speaker. We are fortunate to have a pool, so that is the primary reason why I got this speaker. I wanted to make sure that if the kids splashed water on it, that the speaker would keep playing. I also have Anker headphones, so I knew that this brand wouldn't disappoint and it hasn't! Let me tell you about other highlights of this small, but powerful bluetooth speaker. To begin with, it is very easy to pair up with your bluetooth device. You definitely want to download the Soundcore App to fully enjoy this speaker. Once you download the app you are able to customize the sound and the light show the speakers produce once you get the music cranking! When you start playing music, you will notice the clear sound that is produced by the dual drivers. In the app you can adjust the sound along with the bass. This speaker also posses PartyCast technology which allows you to connect up to 100 speakers if you want. Another added bonus is the lightshow this little guy produces. Again, you can customize the lightshow in the app. The kids love taking it outside at night to enjoy an audiovisual experience with this speaker. A single charge will last you about 16 hours, but you can recharge it very quickly. You know if you are running out of juice because you can check the battery level on the app. Overall, if you are looking for an affordable speaker that produces quality sound and you can easily take outdoors, then I highly recommend this Anker bluetooth speaker.

No more eye strain
on May 27, 2021
Posted by: Longhorn74
from McKinney, TX
Like many people nowadays, I have to spend many hours in front of a computer monitor as I work from home. After spending 10 to 12 hours infront of a monitor for 5 days a week, my eyes would be killing me. Of course I ended up getting a screen filter for my monitor, but who likes to actually use these? Now that I have my 27" HP monitor, I don't have to worry about my eyes straining and ending up with a massive headache. Not only has my eye strain gone away, but this monitor produces a very nice clear picture with the FHD display and looks very sleek. It is super thin with a nice modern base. It is extremely easy to set up and connect. It comes with 2 HDMI ports and 1 VGA port. My only complaint is that instead of adding the VGA port, they should have just added another HDMI port. Once you have it set up, you can easily adjust the response time and sharpness. Another great feature is that you can easily adjust the monitor and still get a great viewing angle. Overall, you can't go wrong with this 27" HP monitor.

Provides great sound and ANC
on April 20, 2021
Posted by: Longhorn74
from McKinney, TX
I have been using these Anker Soundcore Life Dot 2 earbuds for over a week and they are great. As soon as you take them out of the box you will notice that they provide you everything that you need to start enjoying some great music. These earbuds come with an ample amount of tips and covers to ensure that they fit comfortably in your ear. The only reason why I gave them 4 out of 5 stars was the fact that I had a hard time keeping them in my ears as a would go for a run. I tried every option available and they eventually would come out of my ears. When deciding to purchase earbuds, obviously sound quality is of most importance and these Ankers don't disappoint. You will need to download their Soundcore app to customize your listening experience. The app allows you to choose different ANC modes and you can also customize it depending on the music that you are listening. Within the app you can also customize your touch controls. Needless to say, in order to get the most out of these earbuds, I highly recommend you get the app.
Considering the price of these Ankers, the sound quality is pretty good. Another plus, is the battery life. You don't have to worry about constantly putting them back in the case to recharge them. As I stated earlier, I have had them for a week and have used them every day and have yet to recharge them. They boast 35 hours of playtime and that will last you a while. Overall, I was very impressed by the sound quality and their noise cancelling abilities.
