Top of the line mask
on September 22, 2021
Posted by: Robs
from Indiana
I have worn several different masks over the past year or so, and none of them have been as nice to wear as the AIRPOP Light SE Masks. The masks come in a 4 pack, and are black on the outside. They look very nice. Each mask is made from a very light material which feels lighter than your typical cloth mask. I wore it for long periods of time at work and it never made my face feel sweaty or clammy. It also feels like it provides more coverage area than the average mask. For me, there were 2 features that made a difference. First, each mask has a slidable tightener on each ear loop that feels very durable. The tightener didn't slip back to the loosest position easily either, which I liked. The second feature is a plyable nose guard that can flip up for people that wear glasses like me. It made the mask and eye glasses combo feel bearable for the first time. It is light, it works well, and it has nice features. I would recommend the AIRPOP Light SE Masks for anybody looking for a mask that is functional while helping you to forget that you are wearing a mask in the first place.

Excellent Webcam
on August 25, 2021
Posted by: Robs
from Indiana
The Corsair Elgato Facecam is a premium Full HD Webcam, and it is fantastic for all webcam uses. It is simple to setup, simple to use, and creates gorgeous uncompressed HD video that is perfect for streaming, business meetings with practically every service, and even family web calls. Out of the box you get the Facecam, a privacy cap, a mount with 1/4" thread, and a USB C cable. Setup is easy; first, setup the mount on your monitor and then attach the Facecam. If you have a separate Multi Mount on lighting, the Facecam will attach directly to that as well. Plug in the USB C cord to the Facecam and to your computer. Start using the Facecam. For me, it integrated seamlessly with Twitch for streaming. I also used it with both Skype and Zoom for personal and business use. The image it captures is simply stunning, even with average lighting conditions. It is truly uncompressed 1080p full HD, uncompressed, 60 frames per second. It will do wide angle shots, if you need it, and it always kept me in focus at several different distances. Another feature that I appreciated was that the Facecam has onboard memory so that if I move it from my desktop to my laptop, it remembers my settings. When I open the Camera Hub Software, I can adjust the settings like Zoom, White Balance, Exposure details, and many more, and the Facecam will remember all of that information for the next device. It saves so much time! Co-workers and family remarked how sharp the detail was compared to the video from the default onboard webcam I had been using on my laptop. Supported resolutions include: 1080p60, 1080p30, 720p60, 720p30, 540p60, and 540p30. If you are looking for a high-quality webcam that is easy to operate and produces great video, I would recommend the Corsair Elgato Facecam for any type of use.

Making Ice Cream is Easy
on August 1, 2021
Posted by: Robs
from Indiana
The Ninja CREAMi Ice Cream Maker is a fantastic small kitchen appliance for anybody that enjoys homemade ice cream or frozen products like sorbet, milkshakes, gelato, and many more. Best of all, it is easy and intuitive to use. Unpacking the three pint containers, outer bowl, paddle, and motor unit (and getting them all setup) takes just a couple minutes. The base is about 16 inches tall and 12 inches deep, and is built very durably. This isn't a particularly small appliance in size, but compared to other homemade ice cream makers this unit is small. It comes with a manual that explains the steps to making your first pint clearly and an excellent recipe guide that includes everything from the decadent to some healthier paleo options. The first step is to prepare the base in one of the pint containers and freeze it for at least 24 hours. After that, put the frozen container into the outer bowl, insert the paddle and put on the lid to the outer bowl, and then put the outer bowl into the motor unit. Next, power up the motor unit and push one of the program choices on the unit, which includes ice cream, sorbet, gelato, milkshake, smoothie bowl, slush, mix-in, and re-spin. The motor unit will begin processing your frozen treat automatically. It isn't particularly loud, especially compared to the loud motor noises typical in other homemade ice cream makers. The unit will sense when the product is ready and will stop at the appropriate time. You can remove the product at that time and eat, or add mix-in products of your choice. If mixing-in, there is another step with the unit to get those things mixed into the product thoroughly. The processing seems to take about 4 minutes at most, and it makes an amazing product. I tried one of the ice cream recipes and one of the milkshake recipes, and they were fantastic. The ice cream was creamy and smooth, and the mix-in was perfectly mixed through the entire pint. The milkshake was a White Russian recipe that was amazing on a hot day. I appreciated that the recipe book included ideas for taking items that I already had in the pantry and fridge and turning them into frozen treats. Clean up was quick, as all of the items can be either hand washed or washed in the top rack of a dishwasher. The only negative that comes to mind is that it only makes a pint so it probably is not the appropriate product for large family get-togethers or parties. But if you are looking for a product that can you help you to make delicious, quick, and easy frozen treats, the Ninja CREAMi Ice Cream Maker is exactly what you are looking for to assist.

Very Nice Headset for Professionals
on July 15, 2021
Posted by: Robs
from Indiana
The Logitech Zone 750 Wired Noise Canceling Over-Ear Headset is a very nice headset for use in a home office or professional office setting. My headset was matte black and felt slightly above average in built quality. I would say my head is on the larger side and the headband felt comfortable on the top of my head for many hours and the earcups did not press noticeably on my eyeglasses. It utilizes a plastic boom mic that is very flexible, reversible, and can be swung up by the headband for muting purposes. The mic does provide noise-cancellation that seems to work well based on feedback. The earcups contain 40mm drivers with memory foam that could be a little more generous to provide a more firm cushion. This is a wired headset that comes with a cord that is just over 6 feet long. It can connect to USB C ports by default, and comes with an adaptor to let it connect to USB A ports. There is no 3.5mm jack capability. All of the physical sound and call controls are located on a module about 20 inches from the headset. On the module are buttons for volume up and down on the side, with buttons for mute, answering and ending calls, and play/pause music. The center answering button sticks out a little further so that fingers can find the correct buttons on the module without looking which is a nice touch. There is an app called the Logi Tune app which allows the user to adjust the sound equalization and provides sidetone control so that you can hear how loud you sound when using the mic. I used it with Microsoft Teams and Zoom for work, and the setup was easy. My home office can have some pretty loud background noise at times but nobody I didn't notice it being picked up by those applications. I do wish the earcups were larger to help seal more outside noise out from my ears. The cups were about the size of my ears and formed a seal by pushing in more than going around my ears. The sound quality was very nice with good bass and good voice acoustics on both office applications, phone calls, and music. Logitech is known for quality, and these feel like a solid entry in the professional headset space. I would recommend for any professional, and even for general computer or phone use.

Excellent Gaming Mouse
on June 5, 2021
Posted by: Robs
from Indiana
THe ROCCAT Kone Pro Air Wireless is an excellent, versatile gaming mouse. It feels very solid when being used; it doesn't feel like cheap plastic. The mouse slides like a dream, clicks at just the right amount of pressure, and the scroll wheel is easily the best feeling wheel I have used on a mouse. The wheel scrolls smoothly and doesn't click under light pressure. At the same time, it is quite light so my wrist never felt any tiredness from moving it around. As a sidenote, if you prefer a heavier mouse, there is no way to adjust this with internal weights. There are quick ways to adjust sensitvity and the AIMO RGB lighting using the mouse itself and various combinations of button presses, but I would reccommend downloading the ROCCAT Swarm software to get the full capability of how intricately this mouse can be adjusted. It can connect via wireless, Bluetooth, or USB cord. I charged it up initially before use, and it still hasn't run out of power over 65 usage hours later . The total package of this mouse is simply impressive. It looks good, it feels good to use, it is super accurate for gaming, it connects any way you like, and the battery charge lasts forever. I would recommend for any user.

Good headset for movies, decent for gaming/music
on May 21, 2021
Posted by: Robs
from Indiana
The Corsair Virtuso RGB WIRELESS XT High-Fidelity Gaming Headset is a decent headset for gaming and music, but is much better for movies utilizing Dolby Atmos. The Virtuoso is very well constructed, although somewhat heavy on the head after several hours. The outside of the cups have a brushed metal look on the outside with an ARGB Corsair logo that can be controlled via the iCue app. The ARGB almost has a pixelated look which I found different than other ARGB headsets in a good way. The inside of the cups are very soft, perhaps too soft to withstand the natural pressure of the headband. Speaking of the headband, it feels very solid and heavy, but the cushion provided by the cover does a good job of making the band feel soft on top of the head. The microphone is completely adjustable and comes with a red/green led light on the end so that you can quickly tell if the mic is muted or not. The left cup includes a 3.5mm jack and the USB-C charging port. The right cup includes a bluetooth multi-function toggle, a wired/wireless toggle, and a volume up/down wheel. There is also a microphone mute push button on the bottom of the mic boom where it joins the headset, which is an intuitive location for it. It does feel somewhat heavy when wearing the headset for any length of time, but on the other hand it also feels like it was constructed of quality materials that aren't going to break if the headset accidentally gets dropped or stepped on. Setting them up for use was fairly easy, and there were many choices on how to connect them including bluetooth, wireless with a dongle, wired via USB, and wired via 3.5mm analog jack. The box included the headset and boom mic separately; the boom is quickly connected to the headset. The box also included a storage pouch, USB C charging cable, 3.5mm analog cable, and wireless USB dongle. I downloaded the iCue app onto my computer which allows for control of the ARGB and the equalizer. There are several preset options for the equalizer, and there is a separate slider to control the mic level and the mic sidetone. I also downloaded the Dolby Atmos app which recognized the headset immediately. The Dolby Atmos does override any equalizer settings that you may have set in iCue. Watching movies with this headset was incredible with the Dolby Atmos turned on. The quality and range of the sound was top notch, and it felt like surround sound. But, when switching to listening to music or to gaming, I found that Dolby Atmos was not a very good option. I turned the Dolby Atmos off and used the iCue equalizer to try and find a good mix of sound but none of the settings sounded that great, even compared to another headset I have owned for a few years. A frustration was that if I forgot to change whether Atmos was on or off and whether the equalizer was set correctly before the entering a gaming session, I had to back all the way out of the game to set the headset settings correctly before restarting the game. In the FPS game Call of Duty Cold War, I tried various sound profiles but none of them seemed like a particularly good choice, and espeically not Atmos. Either the range was tuned so that chat was a priority and sounded clear at the expense of the other end of the audio range or the game sounds drowned out the chat. If the equalizer was left in the middle for all the ranges, it produced the worst of both worlds: no bass, and no clear chat. When I tested the mic, it worked very well and had good quality. I wish that the sound quality produced by this headset matched the high construction quality. It is close, but has room for improvement. A single charge lasted me about 18 hours, but I preferred playing with the headset attached via USB because that allows for a better sound quality than 3.5mm jack, Bluetooth, or wireless connectivity. I would recommend this headset for someone who appreciates high quality audio from their movies and a user who puts in light gaming hours. For medium to longer length gaming sessions, I think a user could find the headset a bit heavy and squeezing to the ears.

Best gaming laptop for the price
on April 25, 2021
Posted by: Robs
from Indiana
The Alienware m15 R4 is an excellent gaming laptop for the money. It is using a 10th Generation Intel processor with a Nvidia 30x generation graphics processor and a SSD, all of which means you get a laptop that can handle all of the applications you can throw at it while producing incredibly nice graphics with very fast loading speeds. It is a very nice combination to pair with the long-known quality of Alienware products and their support. I would recommend it for gamers and everyday users, but be aware this is a gaming laptop so it will not have long battery life nor it will be particularly quiet. The GPU is going to consume much more power than a typical notebook and has a good cooling system to perform at a high level; this is par for the course for all gaming laptops.
The specs on my model are as follows:
Processor: 10th Generation Intel® Core™ i7-10870H (up to 5.0GHz frequency)
OS: Windows 10 Home English
Display: 15.6" FHD 300Hz with webcam
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 8GB GDDR6 video memory
Memory: 16GB DDR4 2933MHz
Hard Drive: 512GB PCIe M.2 SSD
Style: Dark Side of the Moon
Wireless: Killer Wi-Fi 6 AX1650 802.11ax 2x2 Wireless LAN
Ethernet: Killer E3100X 10/100/1000Mbps/2.5Gbps NIC
Bluetooth: Bluetooth 5.1
Keyboard: RGB 4-zone Backlit keyboard
Power: 6-Cell 86WHr Integrated, 240W Adapter
Weight: 4.65 lbs
Size: .8 in thick, 14.2 in wide, 10.87 in long
Ports:
Right: MicroSD-Card Reader, 2 USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A
Back: HDMI 2.1b with HDCP 2.2 Output, Mini DisplayPort 1.4 Output, Thunderbolt 3 Port, Alienware Graphics Amplifier Port, Power/DC-In Port
Left: Lock Slot, Killer Networks E3100x Gigabit Ethernet, USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A, Audio Out 1/8" jack
This laptop looks very modern while still maintaining the Alienware distinctive style. The Dark Side of the Moon style has a dark gray and black motif for the chassis, which has a sturdy metallic feel without being too heavy. The unit does have a clear coat polish that prevents fingerprints from being obvious, which can be an issue on a dark chassis. There is a hexagonal venting pattern above the keyboard and on the bottom side of the unit, and some cowling that protrudes from the rear of the unit to protect ports and fan grills. There is a lit Alienware symbol on the outside of the lid, and lighting on the rear cowling. The keyboard does have configurable 4-zone RGB lighting, but it can be turned off if you don't care for it. For an Alienware laptop, these unique touches are fairly subdued which means that it doesn't look out of place around the home or particularly identifiable as a powerful gaming laptop. The keyboard felt nice to type with using a membrane exterior over stainless steel mechanical switches underneath, and had the typical cramped spacing of a laptop keyboard compared to a desktop keyboard. I did note that the keyboard can get quite hot during gaming sessions. The 4-zone RGB is competely configurable via the Alienware Command Center software. Sometimes, the manufacturer software that comes with a computer is not very useful but I feel that the Alienware Command Center suite is incredibly nice as it not only allows customization and configuration of all the options on the laptop (like the keyboard RGB) but it also allows for automatic driver updates and can connect you to Alienware support if needed. The trackpad worked well and is slightly offset to the left in an unobtrusive location. The speakers that are built-in to the laptop are serviceable, especially if you are streaming music or shows. However, the internal fans do get very loud during gaming sessions and I would highly recommend a headset for gaming purposes. The fans are adjustable with various profiles that can be set, including a quiet mode. But, be aware that the fan will need to run constantly and quite loudly to prevent the unit from overheating when using it for gaming. If you have ever had a gaming laptop before, this is not unexpected. Speaking of gaming, all of the games I tested looked amazing and played flawlessly. I tested with Cyberpunk 2077, Assassins Creed Valhalla, Call of Duty Cold War, and several other games, and they all looked better and played more smoothly than when I play them on my gaming desktop. All of the games looked amazing and really popped onto the screen. Ray-tracing effects looked incredibly nice in the games where that is supported and I think this is an enticing benefit to the Nvidia 3070 GPU. Obviously, this is not a 4k resolution setup but I am more than happy with the trade off of getting buttery smooth graphics at 300Hz. For testing purposes, I did use the laptop without the battery a couple different times. When I was gaming, the battery lasted a little over an hour. With normal use, the battery lasted about 4.5 hours. Seeing as how this laptop is designed for gaming, I understood that I would be using it plugged in most of the time because of the power it needs to run for any length of time. I will call out that most gamers are going to either want more hard drive space internally or access to a good external hard drive to store their games as 512GB does fill up quickly the large download sized of today's games. In my case, I have an external hard drive for long term storage. But the SSD that is in the laptop makes everything load so fast and the speed of transitions within games is noticably speedy. To summarize my thoughts, I have had both gaming laptops and gaming desktops before the Alienware m15 R4. The combination of the power and speed of the components, with the style and support from Alienware, with the ease of getting it setup and integrated into my home, has made this the best laptop I have ever used. And while it excels at gaming, it does everyday and office tasks with ease. I would recommend the Alienware m15 R4 for any person looking for a laptop for any purpose, and especially for a gaming experience that will work well into the future.

Solid memory card
on April 14, 2021
Posted by: Robs
from Indiana
This SanDisk 128GB microSDXC UHS-I Memory Card is an essential purchase if you use a Nintendo Switch. It would be an excellent primary memory card for most players. It has a ton of space for game and save files, and items load quickly. It could also be good as a secondary memory card if your first card has filled up. It is quick to install; just look behind the kick stand on the Switch and click it in. It works instantly. It also looks great, with the white primary color and the red Apex Legends symbol. This would be a great gift for any fan of Apex. I actually downloaded Apex onto this card, booted it up in seconds, and played a few rounds. It worked flawlessly, as expected. I would highly recommend this for any Nintendo Switch player, as memory space is something that a player is going to need for games and save files.

Designed for a life with less cleaning, the DustMagnet 5410i air purifier catches 99% of airborne dust before it settles on floors and surfaces. Independently tested for performance as part of the AHAM Verifide Program for room air cleaners, for a Clean Air Delivery Rate (CADR) of 244 cfm for fine smoke particles, 265 cfm for pollen particles, and 266 cfm for dust particles. Recommended for medium rooms like a master bedroom, living room, or playroom, the 5410i model completely filters room air about every 12.58 minutes (approx. 4.8x an hour at 380 ft) on the highest speed. Patent-pending DustMagnet technology powerfully attracts airborne dust particles like a magnet. Two air intake points and a unique airflow pattern create a vortex effect in the room to capture dust before it settles. A stream of negatively charged particles clusters airborne dust particles, making them easier to capture. Once inside the air purifier, the particles stick to the positively charged pre-filters like a magnet. Equipped with HEPASilent filtration technology to kill germs and effectively trap 99.97% of airborne particles like allergens, dust, pollen, pet dander, mold, bacteria, and viruses down to 0.1 microns. Additionally, activated carbon is integrated throughout the filters to absorb gases and household odors from cooking, smoke, and pets. DustMagnet delivers more clean air using less energy and less noise, quietly cleaning the air with less noise than a whisper (31 dB) on low and up to a normal conversation (50 dB) on high – while using about as much energy as a light bulb (42 watts) on high. Air purifier not tested against SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19). Designed to blend into your home like a great looking piece of Scandinavian-style furniture, the dual-use design features a convenient top surface to double as a side table and air purifier. With a design worth showing off, there’s no need to hide your air purifier, place it prominently in the room where it will be most effective. DustMagnet takes a simple approach to smart air quality management with proactive features such as Auto mode, Welcome home, and a five-color LED air quality indicator light. When Auto mode is enabled the air purifier will auto-increase fan speed when the particle sensor measures diminishing air quality conditions (when cooking, vacuuming, etc.) and returns to a lower speed once pollution dissipates. Activate the Welcome home feature (available March 2021) via the Blueair app and your air purifier will go into standby mode when you leave the house and turn back on as you approach home, reducing airborne dust for when you arrive. The Wi-Fi-enabled air purifier also allows you to control settings from almost anywhere with the Blueair app and voice-control via Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant-enabled devices. Includes one set of combination particle and carbon filters with a maximum of 1-year filter life and two permanent stainless-steel pre-filters. DustMagnet proactively monitors filter use and pollution levels in real-time to accurately determine when you need a filter change. When it's time for a replacement, the Blueair app sends an alert with an option to order filters at the touch of a button. For optimal performance, we recommend cleaning the pre-filters with a vacuum or cloth weekly, or as often as needed. Replace the combination particle and carbon filters when the filter light indicates a filter change is necessary (roughly 6-12 months of 24/7 use based on pollution levels). At Blueair, our Swedish heritage inspires sustainability and quality at the heart of everything we do.

Nice Air Purifier
on March 14, 2021
Posted by: Robs
from Indiana
The Blue Air DustMagnet 5410i is an efficient, effective, and aesthetically nice looking air purifier. Assembly took about 5 minutes. I was quickly able to download the Blue Air app and connect to the unit via Bluetooth. After a quick exchange of info, it connected to my 2.4 wifi and I was able to control it from the app. Settings on the app include fan speed, an auto mode, a night mode, and the brightness of the LED indicators. There is also a dashboard on the app that will show the air quality reported by the unit. It is not required to be hooked up to the internet to work as there is a push button panel to control power, fan speed, auto mode, and night mode. It utilizes 2 filters that will need replaced between 6 to 12 months depending on air quality. It stands on 4 legs that screw in, and stands about 2.5 feet tall. It looks very pleasing though, slightly modern and all white. The fans are very quiet. I put it in a room that is about 300 sq ft and noticed a difference within a few hours. It said our air quality was pretty decent already, but making it a little better was totally worth it. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a convenient air purifier for a mid-size to large room that is easy to use and relatively inconspicuous for what it is!

Excellent tax preparation software

Posted by: Robs

I filed my taxes later than usual this year because of revised tax paperwork from various businesses, so I was happy that I had H&R Blocks's premium tax software to utilize to get my taxes filed. I have used them before for taxes, and it always goes very smoothly. The premium software seems to have an updated interview system which helps catch deductions that you may qualify for if the situation applies. It will ask quite a few questions that may not apply if your tax situation is simple but if your tax situation is a little bit more complex, i.e. gifts, inheritance, CARES Act 401k withdrawals, then you will appreciate the level of detail. If you run into issues, there are several ways to get help including chatting or calling tax professionals. There can be a long line, but you can always keep moving forward with filling out the rest and then circling back to your question. You may even have time to research and figure out the answer. Importing my documents was easy as usual. If you so choose, you can even use your phone to take a picture of your documents and it will fill in the data using OCR. I always appreciate that the software allows you to see what your standard deduction would be and compares it to the projected itemized deduction so that you don't spend time on itemization if it won't be worth it for you. State taxes were just as easy as federal taxes, and at the end it is as simple as e-filing and waiting for the direct deposit of the refund. I have heard a lot of dread around filling out taxes this year and dealing with the financial complexities of the last year. Do yourself a favor and get this software. It provides clear instruction, peace of mind, and they stand behind the results. I would recommend this for any level of tax complexity, but especially if you feel your taxes will be a little bit more complex than usual.

Maintain a comfortable home environment with this Kyvol HD3 humidifier, which humidifies your home and soothes dry skin and reduces coughing, congestion and other symptoms by keeping proper air humidity at around 45% to 60%. The ultra-quiet ultrasonic feature ensures better sleep quality and 75 hours super long-lasting runtime to help indoor plants grow healthier, especially during dry winter season.
 

Where is the opening to fill the tank? Top, back, bottom? Wondering the ease of filling it. Thanks

To fill the tank, you remove the tank from the base and turn the tank upside-down as the opening is on the bottom underneath a screw cap. I have had humidifiers where that is a pain because of the weight when the tank is filled and because fitting it back on the base was clumsy. With this tank only holding about 1.1 gallons, the weight was fine. No problems flipping it when full and then situating it on the base.

This mouse can be used wired via the cord or wirelessly via a USB A dongle once the mouse is charged. There is no bluetooth mode. This isn't the sort of wireless mouse that needs AA or AAA batteries. It has a rechargeable lithium battery inside.

Does these work for PS5, If so how well? Thanks in advance.

It works very well with the PS5, but can be a bit heavy on the head over time.

Does this not have a chat mixer on it?

In the iCue software that controls the ARGB and includes an equalizer with presets, there is a mode that prioritizes chat. However, there is no chat mix button or toggle on the headset itself.

Can sleep buds 2 connect blue tooth to different apps on my phone?

No. Bose made the decision that the Sleepbuds will only connect via bluetooth to the Bose Sleep app which will only play from a selection of sounds. These are not for listening to music, answering calls, or for audiobooks. The sole intent is to help people fall asleep.

I have the original Bose - Sleepbuds....are these the same thing or improved in some way?

I think they are improved. The shape fit better in my ear and there was less noise from the sleepbuds sliding on the pillowcase or turning my head. I also think the sound technology has improved with the sounds available on the Bose Sleep app. I saw improved sleep results in both the time it took me to fall asleep and the quality of my sleep.

If I use these and they truly block out all sounds, does it come with an alarm built in the app? I don't wanna have my alarm clock set and not hear it due to me wearing these through the night

Yes, there is an alarm feature as part of the Bose Sleep app that connects with the sleepbuds. The interesting part is that because the sleepbuds have their own memory, and the alarm you would set would be uploaded to the sleepbuds, the alarm will actually work even if your mobile device runs out of battery.

Better sound begins with better silence. That’s why Bose QuietComfort Earbuds are engineered with the world-class noise cancelling and high-fidelity audio. Microphones inside and outside the earphones sense noise and react instantaneously to cancel the signal. Get rid of disruptions so you can turn up the music on your wireless earbuds and amplify whatever you’re most passionate about — from hiking or circuit training to coding or baking. And when you need to be more aware of your surroundings, minimize noise cancelling with a quick double tap, so you can walk down a busy street or listen for your boarding announcement. StayHear Max tips provide extra comfort and stability for an even better experience. Rule the Quiet with Bose QuietComfort Earbuds and get an exhilarating experience that’s tough to find in any other Bluetooth earbuds. The Bose QuietComfort Noise Cancelling Earbuds are available in Triple Black, Soapstone and limited-edition Sandstone or Stone Blue.
 

Are these noise canceling on the "Microphone" side as well? I'm often in Coffee shops, with a lot of ambient noise, and I'd like to find something that reduces background noise for the listeners on the other side.

Yes, it blocks out all noise but your voice. I felt like they did a very good job with that.

Are you able to run with the QuietComfort Earbuds? Do they stay in your ear while you go on runs?

Yes, they'll stay in your ear. I think this version will stay in a runner's ear better than previous version thanks to their new design. They aren't as small as workout-specific earbuds, but they felt nice. And they are meant for all day wear.
