looks good

I wanted to like the Samsung Gaming Sound Bar HW-N650/ZA, it is impressive looking, slim with a small LED status panel that has a scrolling display. Not sure what the gaming in the name is all about, except that it has a game mode. As for soundbars go, it has the standard optical input, along with an HDMI input and output which is ARC capable which communicates back to your TV. I opted for the Optical input mode since HDMI connectivity is already used by my audio receiver. When I unpacked the soundbar and wireless subwoofer I was surprised at the size of the unit, my previous soundbar which is from the same manufacturer as my TV is much smaller. As it turns out, this soundbar does not excel in the sound category, while it looks impressive and has separate treble and bass tone controls along with a level control for the subwoofer, it curiously lacks “punch”. While the sound bar has clear sound, I would not call it “rich” sounding. I kept saying “where’s the bass”, I checked to make sure the subwoofer was linked, the indicator showed that it was. You could feel a little bass, but nothing to write home about. I wound up hooking up my old sound bar which frankly sounded better. Not sure about this Samsung unit, thought it would be an upgrade, not impressed and I hoped I would be.
Pros:
- Nice design
- Scrolling LED panel with plain English display
- Separate bass and treble controls
- Scrolling LED panel with plain English display
- Separate bass and treble controls
Cons:
- Not rich sounding, limited bass
- Strangely designed remote, don’t overthink the design Samsung

Performs well

Not much to say about the Philips Soniccare 4100 electric toothbrush. It is well built has several modes including a pressure sensor to ensure you are not brushing too hard. In addition there is a battery charge indicator, which provides you a visual indicator of the battery state. Also there is something called BrushSync technology which determines when you need to replace the brush head. Overall this unit is lightweight and handles well, the charging base is small and compact. I am very happy with this unit and have yet to find anything that I don’t like about it, although I do wish more than one brush head was provided.

Sound and Light !
on March 22, 2018
Posted by: Bappy
from Garner, NC
I am liking the Sony SRS-XB31 Portable Bluetooth Speaker more and more. This is a well-built speaker, weighing in at almost two pounds and is waterproof (although I would be wary about submerging it). The sound is rich and clear sounding, bass response is substantial, the sound settings are customizable when using the Sony Music center app. The speaker is easy to pair, has a combined play/pause/next track/answer call button and a separate +/- volume buttons on top. Around back a removable small panel reveals configuration controls, a USB Type A jack for charging other devices, a USB Micro Type B jack for charging the speaker and a line in jack (which I usually do not see on Bluetooth speaker) for connecting a device to playback through this speaker.
When I first started to play music through the speaker it was set to “Rave” mode which flashes two LEDs on the front of the speaker along with a changing color LED on each side that reproduces the light along the edges of the speaker. Before I had a seizure, I turned off this feature using the Sony Music Center app, although after using the speaker for a while I found myself playing with different lighting modes, finally settling in on the “Calm Cinnabar”. There are also ways of generating sound effects by bumping the sides, front, top or bottom of the speaker. You can also chain this speaker to others of the same type to expand your sound field. To me most of these features are kind of gimmicky, the only ones that had any staying power with me were the lighted border and sound modes.
Overall what matters with a Bluetooth speaker is sound and this speaker delivers that in convincing fashion.

clear sounding, lightweight
on March 16, 2018
Posted by: Bappy
from Garner, NC
The Sony WH-CH500 Wireless Headphones are the over the ear for those that don’t really care for the earbud type. They are lightweight and look and sound good, they were reasonably priced. As for the sound which is what you look for in headphones or earbuds, in a few words they sound good. I wouldn’t describe them as overly packed with bass, but for those of us that aren’t looking for booming headphones these have a controlled, rich sound. Music listening comes through as clear sounding without distortion, podcasts and voice centric programs are pleasant. The band on the headphones provide a decent adjustment range, although my big head pushed them to the max. At first these over the ear headphones were not the most comfortable, however with some adjustment they became less noticeable. Each of the over the ear speakers rotate for easy packing (although they do not come with a case) and are fairly lightweight at about 5 ounces. I wouldn’t classify these as noise cancelling, although the ear cups do by nature prevent some ambient noise from seeping into your listening experience. All the controls are located on the right headphone, with a Power/pair/pause/answer button and a rocker style Volume Up/Down, track back/forward button. As with most headphones, earbuds or speakers a playback application with tone control/EQ function really allows you to fine tune how the playback of how your media sounds. Interestingly enough these do not seem to be compatible with Sony’s Headphones Connect or Music Center iOS apps which provide those functions. The headphones also allow you to take phone calls if you are using a mobile phone as the connected device. I briefly tested the phone call functionality and it was clear and the person on the other end of the call said I sounded clear. Considering the microphone is located on the side of right headphones it is amazing how well they work during a phone call (this was in a quiet situation, not sure how they would do with much ambient background noise). The rechargeable battery is rated for 20 hours, have not had to charge them as of yet and am almost have used them for that long.
Overall these a quality over the ear headphones, that provide easy pairing and sound on par with some wired headphone and better than most earbuds. I do wish the Sony apps were able to control some of the tonal settings.
Pros:
- Lightweight
- Clear and rich sounding
- Phone call functionality
- Easily connected
- Long battery life

mixed feelings
on March 9, 2018
Posted by: Bappy
from Garner, NC
First off, I really wanted to like this product, who doesn’t want a more secure home network ? And for “normal” cases the Bitdefender Box 2 network appliance would be a great fit, but more on that later.
The installation of the Bitdefender Box is illustrated by a provided instructional card depicting typical setups. Depending on how you want to utilize the device it gives you a few options. The configuration of the device can only be performed using an IOS or Android based application. The BitDefender Central application guides you through the setup process and it is generally intuitive. For typical installations the configuration app will want you change your current router configuration to Bridge or AP mode where your current wireless router provides no services other than wireless access. The result is the Bitdefender Box 2 issues IP addresses by taking over the DHCP and Routing functions on your network. Now as a security appliance to fully provide network protection, I would expect it to want to do the routing for your network. Unfortunately, the Bitdefender Box cannot fully assume the advanced capabilities that some routers provide (such as DDNS, easily configurable port forwarding, or USB storage devices). This makes it difficult to configure devices (Smart TVs, Storage devices and security cams) you might currently have configured with static IP address (ones that remain constant). These are the exact devices you would want to protect with a security appliance such as this. I contacted BitDefender support and confirmed some of these challenges.
Eventually after much frustration I went with a simpler alternative and set the Bitdefender Box 2 up as an additional Wifi network, leaving my existing Wifi network in place. You could also have Bitdefender Box 2 act alone as your Wifi router/Access Point.
Overall this is a good product, but setup could be difficult for novice users and not configurable enough for advanced ones.
Pros:
blocks malicious URLs, detects abnormal device behavior
scans and highlights network security flaws
Secures devices that normally do not receive security updates
Unlimited installations of antivirus (Bitdefender Total Security) software on your network protected devices via annual subscription
Blocks brute force attacks

good performer, interface needs work
on February 27, 2018
Posted by: Bappy
from Garner, NC
AVG is easy to install and performs well, it caught several instances of malware embedded in suspect emails that I received. I noticed no performance degradation on any of the systems I installed AVG on. This version of the product does not come with performance or tuning tools and rather than hiding those features, it reminds you that you don't have them, encouraging you to purchase them. Don't really care for that with a paid for product, if you are downloading a free version I would understand the push to paid features. The interface of the program is simple, however I found myself trying to find configuration items that were buried within menus that did not necessarily make a lot of sense. I do like the boot time scan option which will allow you to scan your system prior to the OS running, only product where I have seen this option. Also a dedicated button to scan USB/DVD drive is handy. Overall this is a good product under the hood, but it could use a new paint job.

Functional but clunky
on January 17, 2018
Posted by: Bappy
from Garner, NC
I usually use other devices to track my exercise regiments and thought this would be a good way to track my runs. It does a pretty good job at that, however there is a delay in acquiring a GPS signal. The associated mobile app is not really ready for prime time and is glitchy. The battery life is not the greatest and the device needs to be charged every other day. I had problems charging the device and think long term charging is an area of weakness.

impressive PC product, mobile not so much
on December 14, 2017
Posted by: Bappy
from Garner, NC
I have been using BitDefender 2018 Total Security on a few machines, one a virtual Windows 8.1, two Windows 10 and an Android tablet. For the most part the product has worked seamlessly except the Android version seems to have some glitches, navigation within a local TV news app where navigation no longer functions the same, and web video playback seems to stutter and buffer. I’ll know more with additional use, but so far it seems to be destined for an uninstall.
This review will center around the PC version which seems to be pretty light on system resources and does not appear to have any real impact on a PC. The interface is much like others and you can access many of the functions from the main panel, with menu options along the left side of the application interface. The program took a long time to install, with much of it taken up by a prescan of your system. Once installed it takes a while to download updated virus definitions, subsequently the update process seems to be quicker. The real-time protection seems to perform well, with not much of a performance hit. System scans are not as quick as I have seen with other virus protection products. There is a password manager included, along with a file shredder. I have not yet had to explore some of the other configuration options, including application access or the firewall. This is a good thing as you can let the autopilot function do its thing, which basically lets you run the product with the default options. I do like that with this product includes a startup optimizer, which allows you to configure which programs run at startup, unlike other security products it does not require you to logout and login as an administrator when implementing these settings, it will just prompt you for elevated credentials. The Disk Cleanup utility is a little confusing, not sure how it operates as it does not appear to do the usual web browser and temp file cleanup as other security programs do. Again this will require more reading of the documentation to determine how this function operates. Autopilot mode seems to be a good option for most users as it takes away the need to get your hands dirty with configuration options.
Overall I am happy with BitDefender 2018 Total Security and have yet ran into any infection issues.

very capable photo editing and video production
on December 2, 2017
Posted by: Bappy
from Garner, NC
Since these are essentially three separate bundled products let me first start with the Organizer, this program allows you to import all your media, apply tags and sort and filter. If you have an extensive media library (I have almost twenty years of digital media consisting of photos and video) it makes it extremely handy to view with Organizer and of course bring directly into Photoshop Elements (photos) or Adobe Elements (video) to include in your projects. I have struggled with sorting through all this digital media and have not found a program that has done this as well since I had product called ThumbsPlus which was discontinued years ago.
Adobe Photoshop Elements provides you with a plethora of tools to fix and tune existing photos, create slick looking slide shows and add creative elements to your photos. It is geared towards a mid-level consumer who wants to do a little more than simple tuning provided as part of your photo app in the typical smartphone. I especially like the slider tool that can show before and after views of your photo as you apply different elements and tuning. The program is very capable, has a bit of a learning curve, but is able to perform some interesting tasks along with the most basic standard tuning. For convenience it offers Quick (which provides basic tuning functions and Auto Fix), Guided (a mode which guides you through an editing process) and Expert (which basically leaves it to you to use all the tools available in any way you choose). There is quite a bit of help available within the program and video tutorials, but be aware most if not all of it is online based and not installed locally on your computer, so if you do not have an internet connection at the time, you will not be able to access it (this applies to the Adobe Premier Elements product also). A good product that offers more than the basic tools and is less intimidating than Adobe Photoshop, most non-professionals will find that is more than adequate for their needs.
Adobe Premier Elements is the video editing tool in this suite, it is very capable and also provides Quick, Guided and Expert modes. I have been playing with the program for a little while and find that it is pretty responsive, sporadically locking for a few seconds during editing. I did decide while using the program that my laptop was not the most capable machine for editing video, with 8GB of RAM and a lower tier Intel i5 processor with an integrated graphics chip. I updated my Desktop to one that is more suitable for video editing an 8 core processor, 4GB discrete video card and a Solid State Drive (SSD). I do think the SSD is critical to a good experience with video creation as it provides fast file access and improves the speed in rendering (producing you final video file). As for the program, it offers a bunch of different options to create videos, including a pretty neat feature where you can place different videos in separate windows in the video you create, almost like a multi camera shoot. You can also use this function to create a collage of videos in a single video. Overall there is a lot to explore and play with in this program, again there are a help resources available within the program and you need an internet connection to access them.
Pros:
- Different modes for different ability levels Quick, Guided and Expert.
- Good media Organizer application included.
- Capable products with a plethora of online help and tutorials available.
- Interface is intuitive and fairly easy to use.
- Good choice for most people, as Adobe’s Photoshop and Premier Pro (video) products are very complicated.

rich sound, nicely built
on November 16, 2017
Posted by: Bappy
from Garner, NC
Just got the Plantronics BackBeat FIT 305 wireless earbuds, they connect to your device via Bluetooth and each of the earbuds are attached to each other via a nice braided cord, with the usual on/off, volume, multifunction control block of towards the right ear bud. These wireless earbuds connect via Bluetooth seamlessly and sound awesome. I was actually pretty surprised by the clarity of sound provided by these earbuds. When listening to my goto set of tunes I noticed sounds that I have not heard since I used higher end, closed ear headphones. These are comfortable to wear and the battery lasted me about six hours at moderate volume. The package includes a small bag with USB charging cord and two other pairs of different size earbuds. I am very happy with these earbuds as they sound great and are built with a high level of quality.
Pros:
- awesome sound
- braided cord between earbuds
- good battery life
- supplied alternative size earbuds (2 additional sizes)
- storage bag, with charging cord
