With so many items out there trying to be the "next" AirPods, this might be the one that comes pretty close.
- Simple, Elegant, and quality charging case. Very easy to put the ear-buds back in to recharge, and a simple USB-C charging cable to use to charge the case.
- Ear pieces, are extremely light weight, and relatively small compared to other brands. Soft in the ear, but still fit tightly
- Easy to pair, to your devices and up and going in just seconds.
- Stay in place while wearing them... I have now used these on about 10 Peloton Biking sessions, and they haven't fallen out... and if you have used a spin bike, you know you get some serious head motion going.
- Clear and loud sound (when wanted) to the music or voices coming through them.
High Quality, easy to use, great option for in-ear wireless headphones

Great Light, but also too light
on April 30, 2020

So overall, this is an interesting one.
The Lantern itself is relatively large, and good sized. And BRIGHT. On maximum brightness you get some great color, that you can tweak. Different shades, it will rotate through different colors, go to the beat. You can dim and overall, this is a GOOD lantern.
Now for the music, it does get LOUD at max volume, which is good.... but it lacks base. So when it gets loud, it just doesn't sound good. and depending on what you are playing, the speaker portion may leave you wanting a little more.
My biggest issue with it, is the WEIGHT of the unit. It is VERY light.
And my concern (can't really test this yet because of the season), that when I take this outside to my deck.. and put it on the table, the wind is going to blow it up and down the table. It has a large surface area, and just a slight tap on it, will get it to move.
And my concern (can't really test this yet because of the season), that when I take this outside to my deck.. and put it on the table, the wind is going to blow it up and down the table. It has a large surface area, and just a slight tap on it, will get it to move.
That could cause problems while eating out doors, or using it as a center piece... as if the wind kicks, up it can slide off the table, or into drinks and bottles.
So while it is nice.. I would consider hanging it on a hook, and enjoying the sounds and lights that way.

Light and Light and Perfect for a Laptop
on April 28, 2020

So we all know that if you want to game or truly be productive on a laptop, you need an external mouse. This is a SOLID option for anyone.
First let's go over the appearance. It isn't an overly complex looking mouse, you immediately know what is going on when you have it in your hand. The configurable options for the colors is nice, not something I will pretty much change or do anything special with.
Using the Logitech software, you can change the colors to what you want... and you can customize each of the buttons to different functions. If you are not going to change one of those buttons to your favorite combo, or quick action... you can use it for something else... or just leave it unprogrammed.
Being corded is still a valuable option. In my work environment, there are so many cordless devices, that sometimes you just have connectivity issues with mice and keyboards. Having this corded is great, you know it is going to work and connect.
The Optical sensor has the same flaws as any other devices, it is just physics. On shiny smooth non-distinctive tops, you have to put something down. A good old mouse pad, or even a piece of paper with text... something so the optics have something to reference.
The detail movement is very fine, the DPI is high and good for detail moves in most fast paced games. And the weight of the mouse, and it's overall size.. makes it perfect for the gaming laptop. Put it in your bag and take it with you. The added benefit to corded, is that it is REALLY hard to leave behind.
Good solid mouse, will give the average and even above average gamer an advantage. But can also be used as a standard production worthy mouse that you can use in the spreadsheet or searching on the internet

Near Perfect; Great addition to any TV
on April 4, 2020
Posted by: Ebonovic
from Tinley Park, IL
About 6 months ago, we removed the bulky 7.1 sounds system from our family room. (Because we put a Dolby Atmos system in the basement). So we have been living with TV Speaker sound, and it was just not good enough.
This Soundbar does the trick, PERFECTLY. With it's built in Subwoofers, it gives enough base and clarity in sound, that the TV speakers just didn't have.
First; it is smaller then most soundbars out there, width wise. Maybe a little taller in height, but not by much. Comes with VERY easy to follow instructions and template to mount it to a wall. Also it was designed with mounting flush to a wall in mind, and has deep pockets for all the wires to fit, so they are not crushed.
Second, it's LED indicators are small, not overly bright.. and after a while you just don't notice them any more.
Easy to use with it's companion remote, or smart phone app. change between it's internal inputs (HDMI, WiFi, Bluetooth).
The sound is great, in the standard mode, watching TV programs and even some movies are just find. You can toggle on the VOICE clarity for those programs like the news or game shows, and turn on the simulated 3D for somewhat more of a movie field. I don't think I will use the 3D mode often, but will use the voice clarity.
The two nitpicks I have:
- The companion app does need some help with it User Interface. I am a tech guy and got throw a bit the way they worded the setup screens.
- There needs to be a way to 100% turn off Alexa, not just when the power is often. It is not that I am against Alexa (I think I have a dozen of them), it is because I paid this up with an Amazon Fire Cube, so I already have the functionality there.. and don't need another one in the same room. So I changed the Soundbar's wake up word to Echo, to avoid any conflicts.

So if you are looking for a smaller, and good Soundbar... You found it

This is a very SOLID piece of luggage. from the wheels up, this is a step up in quality over most in this category.
First, this is for the nomad. It's size, would make it difficult to carry more than one persons clothing for more than maybe a single night. I also pack relatively light for my trips, but this bag does fill up quickly.
I was able to comfortably pack enough for three days, but I didn't bring an extra pair of shoes or bulky clothing. I am not sure I could get more in there.
there are 2 main compartments (left and ride), and two zipper pouches, and then room in between the two seperators. A nice zipper enclosure keeps all your items on the left, and then a compression screen keeps them down on the right.
The handle is long and extends high enough for the vast majority of people. The full motion wheels make it easy to pull, and push in any direction as well. Comes with an integrated locking system that is TSA key ready. So even though this will typically be a carry-on, you are ready for those times the bins are full and have to check it in.
The hard shell casing, is hard... and is going to protect most items inside. Balanced design, that even a heavy loaded from portion isn't going to make it tip over in any direction.
The angled top, is going to ensure that it fits in the vast majority of modern aircraft top storage, with curved doors.
While I am not sure I would use this for a family vacation, where souvenirs are coming home, this is going to be a great back for the business trips, or the stay-cation with the spouse.

Some serious suckage here
on December 23, 2019
Posted by: Ebonovic
from Tinley Park, IL
So this is great. Just great
Light and portable, and follows along like a puppy.
Simple to use with the slide on battery pack, and single switch. Once on, packs a serious amount of vacuum power.
We use it to clean our workshop after all the holiday craft making. Instead of lugging the big 4” hose around, this not-so little guy helps us clean up some of the hard to reach spots, or provides a quick reach option for some dust in groves
Only downsides: Doesn’t come with a bristle attachment, and it would be great to have a second battery ready to go

Expand your screen... with light
on December 5, 2019
Posted by: Ebonovic
from Tinley Park, IL
We all know that a 4K picture is awesome.... Mix in some amazing sound, and that experience get's better. Now, you can get the rest of your environment to tie in, and bring it to another level.
This box will connect between your video source and your TV. VERY easy to connect and setup. It will act as a switcher device between multiple devices. I didn't specifically check that out, as I have an AV receiver that does it for me.
You can connect up to 10 Philips Hue lights... I only connected 3 (because that is all I have right now)... And you are off.
If you can picture watching Blue Planet... Your large amazing TV is showing the depth of the water, and now that water seems to expand the entire room, because all the lights change to shades of blue.
Playing some games on my XBOX, the room and experience just gets that much expansive.
While the power adapter is large, so you can connect other lights with one plug. I would recommend getting a 1ft extension "power strip" saver, because it is a little big.
Sometimes it can get a bit intense on the color changes (especially while playing games). Depending on your size or room, you may need to utilize more lights to get the full effect.
If you want to take your movie, tv, and game experience to another level. this box will help with that.

Good for a basic electric razor or 2nd travel one
on November 25, 2019
Posted by: Ebonovic
from Tinley Park, IL
So having used Norelco shavers for a very long time, was looking to add this one for my travel bag.
The good: It can be used Wet or Dry, Completely cordless (when in use), so can be used in the shower as well as at the sink. Light weight, and had some power to it. Comes with a relatively small charger, and a carrying bag, and a solid cover for the blades.
The not-so-good: I found it to be a little loud while shaving, which when compared to my 9000 series shaver, was a little off-putting. It seemed to grab and cut a little more aggressive, but still provided a close shave with no skin issues.
Overall, it will do what I wanted it to do: Be that shaver for my travel kit, so I can leave the more frequently used (and more higher end) 9000 shaver at home.

Simple, Easy, and Powerful

So if you don't know of AVG as an Anti-virus program, let me fill you in. For the longest time AVG was the absolute BEST... FREE.... anti-virus that you could obtain. It also was pretty much the only anti-virus that was worth anything, on the MAC platform.
So if you want to try out AVG, go ahead... they readily give you the anti-virus piece for free. And once you see that, you will then really want to explore this Ultimate version.
First once you upgrade to the paid, ultimate version... you get access to the other security products.
Let's talk about the interface: Large, no tiny print, and very straight forward to understand. Simple, direct, and clear. Very little chance to mis-understand what it means, or what pressing a button will do.
now, I have not purposely tried to install a virus or Mal-ware on my computer while running this to see if it worked... I trust that it does because I still don't have one on there (verified by other programs that I trust).
The TUNE-UP add on is a great little tool, to help get rid of some of the bloat that ALL our computers get over time. Uninstall procedures of apps, don't always clean everything up. A small little utility you were trying, and foot... bogs down the system. Tune-Up will help you there.
My FAVORITE addition with Ultimate, is the VPN tool. I use this via my iPhone, in order to securely connect back to my region of choice. So if I am traveling for work, but want to appear to another application or device as being in my home area of Chicago, I can do that.
If I am on a public wifi, and want to obscure my connection in case someone is sniffing the connection, I can use this for secure banking or even simply email.
This Ultimate subscription, allows you to install it on 5 different computers and devices... so for most families this works great.

I was already to buy this TV- seems to be GREAT price!
BUT - IT DOES NOT HAVE 3D. Luckily, this was pointed out by the salesman. He told me that he had even called Samsung to check, and there is a misprint in the specifications,

3D Ready
January 28, 2016
Per Samsung's site, it states as 3D Ready.
Which means you just need the other equipment (separate), glasses, Blu-ray player, and material source
Glasses are about $20 each.
