Really Nice Headphones
on July 8, 2017
Posted by: Cipher469
from Spanish Fort, AL
I really like the Everest 310 headphones. Once the headphones are charged (USB cable provided), they paired very quickly with my Amazon Echo. After pairing, I turned them on to see how they worked. I was surprised at how quickly the music switched from the Echo to the headphones, faster than some other speakers that I have. The sound quality is excellent, for highs and lows, and the range of operation is very good. I went all over my house, up and downstairs with no loss of connectivity. In addition, they maintained connection when I went out onto my deck, which has been an issue with another set of quality headphones that I have. For the most part, they fit well on the head. My one issue is after wearing them for awhile they can get a bit uncomfortable, necessitating a slight adjustment. The other headphones I have are so comfortable I almost forget they are there; however, Bluetooth connectability is challenging when I'm out on the deck. That said, the 310 operating distance and sound quality is an acceptable trade off.

Great Mouse
on July 3, 2017
Posted by: Cipher469
from Spanish Fort, AL
The Anywhere 2S is all it's promised to be. Setup can be a little tricky, as there are no instructions with the mouse. However, if you go online to Logitech, you will find what is needed. The mouse is a small, light, good hand fitting bundle of options. It works on a glass table top as well as on a mouse pad and the tracking is spot on. It is fast, has an exceptional scroll function, and other operational buttons that can be customized with a large number of options. The ability to pair the mouse via Bluetooth to another computer is easy and affords an excellent way to file share. I have an excellent Logitech wireless laser mouse that I have had for some time, but the Anywhere 2S leaves it in the dust. I definitely would recommend it to a friend.

Very nice device
on June 30, 2017
Posted by: Cipher469
from Spanish Fort, AL
The Pro is quite a nice device for simplifying a highly connected home. Many types of devices (lights, door locks, certain appliances, etc) can be connected and controlled with it via smart phone or tablet using the downloaded app. Installation is easy, a definite plus. Range is very good, but not great. On my deck, I lost connectivity, whereas my regular wi-fi network has a strong signal. Since the Pro has an icon for connecting a bot vacuum, I attempted to connect my top of the line Samsung, but it would not work. As for controlling lights/plugs etc, if you have an Echo, it does the job nicely However, for someone who wants to control pretty much everything and is willing to spend lots of money on the devices to be controlled, I would certainly recommend the Pro. It's compact size is unobtrusive, will control a wide variety of devices, and has reasonably good range.

Very nice headphones
on May 26, 2017
Posted by: Cipher469
from Spanish Fort, AL
The ATH-SR6BT headphones deliver very nice sound quality, whether rock or classical. Because they do such a good job of shutting out external sound, it's almost as if you are listening in a concert hall. You can hear the highs as well as the lows. Given their bulky and heavy appearance at first glance, they are amazingly comfortable on the head and ears, allowing you to wear them for extended periods. Bluetooth pairing is a snap! These are not low end headphones, and they deliver plenty of quality sound for a reasonable price.
My one complaint is the rather short operating distance from the music source. If you are not wearing/carrying the source, such as iPod or phone. the optimum range is about 25 feet. I would like to use the headphones on my deck, but that is not possible, hence the 4.0 rating. Were it possible to rate 4.5 stars, I would have done so.
If my one issue is not a problem for you, I definitely recommend the ATH-SR6BT headphones.

This Amped Wireless HELIOS-EX Wi-Fi Extender covers an area of up to 12,000 sq. ft. and includes four Gigabit network ports.

Bad start, good finish
on May 6, 2017
Posted by: Cipher469
from Spanish Fort, AL
Getting the device set up is a challenge. Simultaneously, I attempted setting up on a Win10 device and an Android device. Both devices quickly showed the Extender's network name in the list of available wifi sources.
Soon thereafter, the name disappeared. I rebooted the Extender, but the network name would not come up. Also, when I tried the setup URL shown in the instructions on the Win10 device, it took me to a Bing search page. Next, I tried using the IP address provided in the instructions as an alternate, I received a message that the site couldn't be reached. After all this frustration, I gave it a rest and called Amped tech support. I spoke with a nice young man who asked me if a certain wireless ID (my network ID + RE) showed in my list of availables, and it did. He had me try several online sites to ensure it was working, and it was. So, do not rely on the printed instructions for troubleshooting. Check to see if your network ID+RE is listed. If so, you are good to go.
As to the device itself, it does extend reception range. Throughout my house, no problem Then, I tested by walking out the edge of my backyard, with positive results. Without the Extender, my device showed connected but no internet. With the Extender, I had internet. Rarely would I expect to use the internet out there, but it is good to know I could. Were it possible, I would rate the device 4.5, taking the other .5 off for setup.

Like a Swiffer WetJet on steroids
on May 4, 2017
Posted by: Cipher469
from Spanish Fort, AL
My first impression of the Bissell SpinWave was it didn't work, as nothing happened when I pressed the On/Off button as shown in the instructions. I found if you reverse Steps 2 and 3, it will start up just fine. That little hiccup was the only thing negative experience.
If you have used and liked the Swiffer WetJet, think of the SpinWave as a future generation of hard floor cleaners here now: powered wet cleaning and spinning heads to do the work. The device is light in weight for a powered device, and the motor is very quiet, a definite plus. As I used it and got more familiar with the operation, I found it to be very maneuverable, as the handle moves it easily in all four directions and allows you to get into small areas. Another design asset is the base unit holding the spinning cleaning heads is such that you can clean under the edge of low furniture so as not to leave a visible clean/unclean line at the furniture edge. The power cord is very long, so you don't have to keep changing outlets. In addition, the cleaning liquid is quick drying! It's to soon to know about long-tern durability, but based on the experience so far, I'd be optimistic. It seems too well thought out for durability to be overlooked in the design process.

Surprisingly Good
on April 21, 2017
Posted by: Cipher469
from St Petersburg, FL
I had a rocky start with the Bit. First, the operating instructions are so tiny a magnifying glass is needed, and there is no information regarding charging. Perserverance and knowledge of other devices overcame those obstacles. Next, to make a test run, I paired it with my Echo. Pairing was quick and the music started; but, after a few moments, all went silent. To resolve that, I had to shut down the Bit and also reboot the Echo. Not liking that result, I moved on to pairing with my iPod. Once again, the pairing was quick; however, this time the music kept on playing. To push the limit, I left the iPod upstairs and walked throughout my house, Not until I went outside did it sputter, and soon as I stepped back inside, no more sputter. No worries, because it demonstrated a heck of a long range. So, if you are using the Bit when out walking or doing other things, there should not be any issues at all, because you'll likely have your source with you.
The audio reproduction is surprisingly good for such a tiny device. The clip for attaching it to your clothing or whatever is tight and of sturdy build. As to battery life, unless you are engaged in activity take more than a few hours, it should not disappoint. Because all functions are controlled by the + and - buttons, there is a learning process to remember which button or combination of buttons does what task. Even so, for $30, it's definitely worth the price.

Gotta Love It
on March 27, 2017
Posted by: Cipher469
from St Petersburg, FL
My purpose for a compact Bluetooth speaker was to partner it with my Echo and wirelessly have music out on my deck. After trying other brands without success, I tried the SRS-XB20 (water resistant). It has been a "wow" experience.
First, I charged it up, then starting the pairing process, which took no time at all. Next, I tested the connectivity by carrying the speaker throughout my house (2 story), then out to the deck, and even out into my yard. The XB20 never lost connection! Sound quality rivals a more costly HK that I own; and, in some areas, sounds better ...especially with the Extra Bass feature on.
Sony says it should play up to 12 hours on a full charge. I didn't play it that long, but I did let it go for 8 hours straight, without it ever faltering.
The front oval edge of the speaker lights up (white) and pulsates somewhat with the music. If you don't want the light on and/or to conserve power, it can be easily turned off.
There are a couple of minor negatives: 1.The charging cord is very short, so you have to be very close to the power source. 2. Getting a full charge takes a very long time. (The tradeoff, I suppose it the very long operating time after it is charged.) Neither of these points are troubling enough to diminish the outstanding quality of the XB20 overall.
Reasonable price, good looks, durable, very quick Bluetooth connection, portability with excellent range of operation,very long operating time on full charge, and, importantly, great sound!
I love it and definitely recommend it!

OK but not hassle-free
on February 3, 2017
Posted by: Cipher469
from St Petersburg, FL
After considerable frustration getting the earphones ready to use, it turned out to be an OK product. It has potential to be great, but it’s its own worst enemy when it comes to use.
1. You get several sizes of enhancers for proper fit in your ear; however, it is quite a chore to change enhancers to find the correct size. Because they fit so tightly over the earpiece (a positive), putting on new ones takes a lot of time (negative). Plus, you need to be very careful in doing so in order not to tear the thin material.
2. Pairing the Bluetooth is fairly simple, though it took several attempts to keep it paired.
3. Controlling the functions (volume, forward, reverse, etc.) is difficult and is my biggest issue. Because of the compact design and the rear-hanging strap, the tiny controller is located essentially behind you. So, when wearing the headphones, you cannot see the controller unless you are standing in front of a mirror…which you are not likely to be doing when out and about. So, unless you have extremely tiny fingers and the ability to see back and below your right ear, it’s a problem. If you want to volume up/down, you must be very careful or you'll be jumping forward/backward, because the tiny keys for each are the same.
4. I paired the earphones to my iPod, and audio-wise, it doesn’t beat the iPod earbuds, but it is good and is wireless.
If you don’t mind the hassle, these earphones will probably be fine for you; but, if you want to be hassle-free, shop around.

Good product and price.

For adding color customization to your Dot, the case is an inexpensive way to do so. It is a perfect fit and is designed so as not to cover the speaker area. My only caveat is: don't believe the "leather" description. It appears to be closer to plastic, but it's still a worthwhile purchase.

Can this camera do motion tracking for People ONLY? And stay still for everything else? Or will it track every movement. I'd rather have it track people only instead of cars driving by etc.

Yes. That option is in the Settings.

does it connect with local networks, abc, cbs, nbc etc? How many channels or what stations maybe seen in the Frisco, TX area?

Depending on how far you are from the stations' broadcast transmitters, you should be able to receive them. The Pro 60 has a 60 mile range.

Is this product safe to use on laminate floors? My floors do not recommend steam mopping, not sure if this product uses steam. Also, if it does, is one of the vacuums safe for my floors? Thanks, WMC

No worries. No steam involved. Just water alone or water mixed with the provided cleaning fluid.
