Great Photo Printer
on March 27, 2018
Posted by: EXWOLF
from Anaheim, CA
The all new HP Envy 5055 printer is great for all purpose print jobs. I use it mostly for printing small photos of 4x6 but the printer does support larger print jobs with all different styles of photo paper. I was able to print straight from my smartphone with the companion HP Smart app and connected WiFi or Bluetooth. I like the touchscreen panel as it is easier to navigate through the settings. You can leave it on as the printer will go into energy saver mode but will be ready for the next print job when you want it to be from wherever you are even if you're not anywhere near it. Overall the printer is smooth and has worked flawlessly for me since receiving it.

Incredibile Sound and Fun Speaker
on March 26, 2018
Posted by: EXWOLF
from Anaheim, CA
I have owned a numerous amount of Bluetooth speakers and I can say for a fact that the Sony SRS-XB41 is my favorite. It has a lot of thing going right for it and just a ton of fun features that make owning this speaker an absolute blast.
Let's start with build quality. It's a very rugged speaker with an IP67 rating so you can take it pretty much anywhere you'd venture out to. It's boasts a 24 hour battery life so you can continue to party for as long as you want! Supports NFC so connecting to my Google Pixel was a breeze(Note: this Bluetooth speaker also supports an audio in jack). The speaker itself I heavy but still portable enough to carry around with you in a backpack or just in your hands.
The sound quality is absolutely amazing and fits my taste in music. The extra bass punch is a warm welcome and I cannot get enough of music listening with this speaker. Sony also included a Live Sound feature which projects three-dimensional sound to give you a festival type atmosphere by delivering sound to a wider area. For me, this feature is very pick and choose because it sounds great with some songs and then it sounds just okay with other songs and I'd prefer to listen on the clear audio feature with extra bass. When the song calls for Live Sound it really does immerse you more in the music. You feel like you're listening to a literal live version. The good part about live sound is that it's a button on top of the speaker which you can toggle on and off and you don't have to go into the app itself to do that.
In my opinion the best part of this speaker is the lighting. It looks so amazing and you can customize the patterns through the Fiestable app. You can also use the app to be your own dj and use a virtual turn table to enable certain sounds to come out of the speaker when you please to. It's a neat feature to tinker with every once in a while but not very useful. The lights are definitely all this speaker needs to be cool. There is also a party booster feature which allows you to tap the speaker in certain places for percussion sounds to come out while playing music but this again is a neat gimmick that you probably won't use often as I certainly don't. One of the other best features is wireless party chain function that allows you to group other speakers in the same family with each other to create and monstrous sound for a more party like atmosphere.
Overall, I really love listening to music with this speaker and I love watching the lights dance around. I love using my phone motion controls to control the lights and the speaker sounds absolutely amazing to me. Definitely a great speaker that is going to be tough to replace for me as number 1.

Good Overall Sound and Design
on March 26, 2018
Posted by: EXWOLF
from Anaheim, CA
The new sony srs-xb21 has a lot to offer in a small package. The build quality is absolutely amazing and having an IP67 rating is essential for any portable Bluetooth speaker(note: also supports audio in but won't be protected against the elements since the ports will be exposed). The speaker also has lights around it that you can customize although I believe mine to be defective because the lights seem to go around the entire speaker but they don't light up on mine. Only the center light goes on. NFC is supported so it was a very easy pairing with my Google Pixel. One of the best things about this tiny speaker is the 12 hour battery life. That is absolutely amazing and you can check battery life by pressing the BATT button on the back of the speaker to ensure you always have enough juice.
There are a lot of different sounds you can get out of this speaker and that's thanks to Sony's software features. You can adjust highs, mids, and lows manually or use Sony's Extra Bass feature which does exactly what it's named for and it does give you that extra definitive punch. You can also opt in for clear audio which emphasizes vocals and gives you the best quality listening experience which I'm mostly on. Sony added this Live Sound feature which is supposed to create a "three-dimensional listening experience" and give you a "festival vibe" and it works fantastic with some songs and just okay with other songs so it's a pick and choose type deal with that feature which is why I'm usually on the Clear Audio setting. One thing I do give Live Sound though is that it's a lot louder than the other features and I have to give that to the three-dimensional listening experience. So definitely experiment with Live Sound and Clear Audio to see which one suits your needs best.
Some really extravagant features that really make this speaker series stand out is the ability to "Control the Party". With the Music Center app by Sony you're able to control a lot of different aspects of the speaker including lighting patterns, enable party booster, cue the next song, or simply choose a playlist. Party booster is fun for a bit just to give it a try but it's not extremely useful. Essentially you get the power to tap on the speaker on different places and create different sounds such as a cymbal crash, scratch, snare drum, cowbell, and other percussion sounds. I do not use it very often only to show others that you can do that if you so please to. Last but not least you can group this particular speaker with other supported speakers in the SRS family. You can connect two of the exact same speakers using the ADD function which will give you a stereo sound with left and right channels or you can use wireless party chain for speakers of different sizes to connect together(up to 100 speakers).
Overall I'd have to say that the SRS-XB21 is good for its size and price. It's loud enough to give you that punch in sound, enough audio features to find the one that suits your needs, fun to use in the dark with those flashing controllable lights, very portable, and will last a long time before it needs a recharge!

Great Wifi Range Extender
on March 12, 2018
Posted by: EXWOLF
from Anaheim, CA
This Linksys range extender is top notch. I connected it wirelessly to my Linksys Router without any problems by just pressing the WPS button on the router and extender. There is no other setup needed as it is simply just to eliminate dead zones in your house or place of business. I put the extender in my garage which is not connected to my house and previously when I had half bars I now have full bars and full high speed internet. The extender also has Ethernet ports if you want to connect your router to the extender that way and use it as an access point rather than just an extension of your existing wifi. Overall it functions as it should and gives me coverage over areas that were weak and I am greatly satisfied.

Extremely Accurate GPS and Live Route Runner Persp
on February 21, 2018
Posted by: EXWOLF
from Anaheim, CA
First things first the Spartan Suunto GPS trainer looks very stealthy and sleek in all black. The watch size is pretty big so you can see a lot of the stats on the face when you're doing an activity and the band is stretchy to fit a wide variety of wrists. There are 5 buttons on the watch and they are very simple to learn as to which command they'll do when you press one of them.
Getting into the actual features of the watch everything seems to run very smoothly. I've taken the watch on numerous runs from a 10 mi steady run to a 5 mi sprint interval run and the GPS stayed steady throughout along with real time pace which is my favorite feature. A lot of smartphone running apps will fluctuate your pace greatly so you never really know what it really is but this watch is very good at that. The on wrist heart rate monitor is nothing special but it works just fine and it's fairly accurate. I still use a chest strap on my runs but you can do without one if you buy this watch. You can also set up your own intervals on the watch if you want to be alerted when to start and stop an interval and you can choose to set up automatic laps or manual laps by pressing one of the buttons on the watch.
This watch is great for a wide variety of sports and it's advertised as having 80 sports modes pre-installed to the watch with running, swimming, and cycling as the main focus so if you do at least one of those activities then this watch should be great for you.
The Movescount app is needed to pair with your watch if you want to view your stats on a smartphone but you can also connect it via computer. The app is just slightly different from other fitness apps in the sense that it is only used to track your stats and help you train for your certain event so it'll tell you your heart rate zones and your recovery time until your back in prime condition to continue. Through the app you can also adjust notification settings to be alerted of text messages or third party messaging apps as well as phone calls and emails.
Overall, I am really enjoying the watch. I wish it would have a stride and cadence sensor and you were able to pair the runs with other popular running apps but I can do without it and be content to the point where I feel like I'm getting my optimal training. Unfortunately I am not a swimmer or cyclists so I cannot say how the watch works in those regards but as a runner it is one of the best.

Good Price for Excellent Protection
on January 27, 2018
Posted by: EXWOLF
from Anaheim, CA
This version of Malwarebytes allows you to install on 3 different PCs which is good since I have a desktop and a laptop. I was able to install it on my brother's laptop as well. The install was also very quick and I ran a scan right away to check if my PC was running smoothly without any viruses. The scan was decently quick and you can let it run in the background. The real time protection is nice if you download a lot of things and browse often. Overall, Malwarebytes has been my go to security software and I have always been satisfied with it and this version 3.0 is great.

Good First GPS Running Watch for the AVID Runner
on December 8, 2017
Posted by: EXWOLF
from Anaheim, CA
The Epson ProSense 17 is everything you would expect from a low tier GPS watch. My first few attempts to pair the watch to my Android smartphone was very frustrating. Even though my phone's Bluetooth settings would tell me that I was paired, the app would not recognize this and I would get an error code. Once I finally got connected it wasn't long before I lost connection and I wasn't able to update the firmware so that my watch functioned as needed. After about an hour I was finally able to update the firmware and use the watch with my smartphone. The good news is that you can sync your workouts with popular workout apps such as Runkeeper and MapMyRun which I really appreciated. The GPS is also really accurate and your route data can be transferred to those other popular apps. The only real issue I have with the GPS is that it is not accessible while indoors which I tried many times to update the time on the watch. Other than that I've never had a problem starting a workout with GPS enabled(Note: Starting a workout is really simple. Click the bottom right button on the watch until it displays the desired workout and then press start. The GPS will activate and the watch will vibrate when it has found your location. Simply hit start again and you're off and running!). Features on the watch are either great to have or just plain useless. The ability to set automatic lap notifications through vibrations or goal markers by time and distance is awesome and exactly what you'd want in a running watch. Also, you can set up the watch face to tell you the desired information during a walk or run whether that be your total time, distance, or even heart rate if you have a chest strap connected. You get all the info needed during your run which I found extremely helpful. I was able to track my cadence to keep it consistent and view pace in real time. For all the aspects of an average runner this watch is great. The added features such as smartphone notifications or music control is just terrible. Like I mentioned before the Bluetooth connectivity is awful and it disconnects from your phone even if you're a few feet away. Notifications on the watch when they do go through only shows the classification of the notification so if you get an email it’ll say email or text if you get a message but it does not display any readable text from the message you receive. You still need to look at your phone to read and reply to messages so this function is a little pointless. When the Bluetooth works the watch is great for transferring and updating data to your phone but just terrible when it isn't working which is most of the time(Hopefully this is improved with firmware updates in the future. Update: I wrote this review before a newer firmware update was pushed. Downloaded new update and Bluetooth connectivity has been greatly improved to the point where I can now leave the room with my smartphone and come back inside later on with the watch pairing by itself and notification alerts functioning properly. Still having trouble connecting to Bluetooth after the watch is powered off and then on again but this new update is certainly much better). Overall I like the watch. I use it mostly for tracking my runs even though I am recovering from a recent sprained ankle and occasionally for tracking my steps during the day and sleep at night. It tells me how many calories I've burned throughout the day and I'm able to store that data via Google fit. There is also a place to set up an alarm so your watch vibrates when you want it to alert you on a certain time which I find really useful at work but it is not enough to wake me up so I only use the alarm feature when I know I’ll be awake. The battery life is not great but enough for the amount of time I use the watch. It's water resistant so I can take it swimming or run in the rain without worrying about damaging it. For someone looking for an inexpensive GPS running watch that you're able to read real time running stats with and transfer the data to your favorite workout app then this watch is for you. If you expect so much more such as a heart rate sensor and reading text notifications or viewing your current location on your wrist then you should pass on this watch and do further research on a different one. It's right for me and I have already purchased one as a gift for my brother who is a daily runner.

Incredible Sound But A Bit Buggy
on December 5, 2017
Posted by: EXWOLF
from Anaheim, CA
I have never tried a pair of Bowers and Wilkins headphones and I am glad I got to try the PX's. They are an astonishing pair of headphones with amazing true to the artist sound quality, great battery life, phenomenal design, and excellent noise cancellation.
1: I have been listening to the PX's non-stop since I received the shipment a day ago and even with the break in period required for optimal sound quality they still sound really great to me. The highs are super crisp with fantastic vocal clarity while the bass isn't really overpowering but instead provides that balanced punch needed to get you jamming along with the song.
2: I think what really separates these headphones from its competitors is the design and build quality. As soon as you pop the box off to reveal the headphones you can instantly tell that they are a premium set of headphones. They are mostly all metal which does make them heavy but I didn't find them uncomfortable. I saw a bit of people complaining about them being too tight and I too experienced this but within 10 minutes of listening they had already loosened up. I absolutely love the ear cup design and how deep they are. They are able to cover the entirety of my ear to create a seal around them which helps tremendously with noise cancellation and also helps against sound leakage. One last thing about design that I'd like to mention is the physical buttons to control your music are very simple to operate and easy to reach. The volume up and down buttons are separated by the pause/play button which is a slightly elevated bump so you can tell which button you're pressing so it's a nice touch.
3: The smart features included with the PX's is awesome when it works but annoying when it doesn't. Lifting an ear cup pauses the music and continues it when you put it back against your ear. I found that the right ear cup is buggy when it comes to this feature and probably because all of the controls are on that side. I would lift the ear cup to pause the music and set it back down but the song would restart back to the beginning. Now I only found this is buggy when you initially start listening to music but after a song or two the smart features seem to work flawlessly. Lifting either ear cup pauses the music and setting the headphones down will do the same as well as put the headphones in sleep mode to save battery. As soon as you put them back on the music comes back on too. The smart features also work with YouTube! So if you're watching a video and you need to pause it for whatever reason you can take the headphones off and the video will pause (Note: Using Google Pixel with Android 8.0).
4: Battery life and connection is something Bowers and Wilkins should be very proud of with the PX's. 22 hours of battery life is truly amazing and since they use smart power technology you will definitely go without charging them for a long while. And when you do need to charge them they use USB - C which is significantly faster than micro USB that most of the competitors use. Note that you could also operate the PX's with an AUX cable plugged in instead of using Bluetooth and all the smart features still function but the headphones do still need to be powered on but battery life will be significantly improved. B&W should also be extremely satisfied with connection performance. My PX's stayed connected with no cut offs from my room all the way to the kitchen which is separated by 3 walls and is an approximate distance of 55 feet away.
Conclusion: I am digging the PX's and all aspects of them. Sure they might be a bit buggy when you first start listening to them after they've been powered off but it corrects itself quickly. I love the true to the artist sound quality and listening to the music as it was intended. The noise cancellation is good enough for me and with the ability to adjust it based on your environment is a great key feature to have to stay aware of your surroundings. Their rugged and stylish design is for sure an eye turner. They check off all the boxes I would want in a premium set of headphones and therefore deserve 5 stars and I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for that true balanced crisp and clear sound lacking in some of the competitors.

Extremely Fun to Use Photo/Video Editor
on November 18, 2017
Posted by: EXWOLF
from Anaheim, CA
I am not an expert in photography or videography but Adobe Photoshop and Premiere Elements made me feel like one. I was so comfortable sitting at my computer with a recently taken photo from my smartphone to manipulate it. Both programs have guided tutorials to help you understand what each feature does and how it is going to affect your image or video. With Photoshop I was able to place myself in a different location and was able to totally fool my girlfriend into believing I was somewhere that I was not and her response when I told her I used Photoshop was amazing. She could not believe at how real the photo looked. I am genuinely enjoying my time tinkering with photos and having them all organized through the application on my desktop. Video editing was a bit trickier for me to learn because it wasn't a still image anymore but Premiere has guided tutorials to help you understand every facet of its program. I literally took a whole day on Premiere making a special moments video to end the year of 2017 and it was challenging but I could fall back on the guided tutorials every time I got stumped on how to add another clip or cut out certain sequences that I did not want.
Overall, I really believe these two programs are worth the purchase especially if you're a beginner in both photography and videography. I gained so much confidence in myself because these two programs made it easy for me to learn rather difficult things and I am definitely looking forward to making more memories with Adobe Photoshop and Premiere.

Ultimate Sound! A Powerful Amazon Echo
on November 16, 2017
Posted by: EXWOLF
from Anaheim, CA
I really enjoy this new speaker from Ultimate Ears. It's called the blast for a reason as you could blast your music insanely loud with 360 degrees of sound. There are some noticeable flaws to it but nothing major that turned me away from using it as my daily speaker. (Note: I list built in Alexa as a Con down below but it is also a Pro for different reasons which I also list further down.)
Cons:
Sound Distortion- At high volumes there is a lot of distortion and it doesn't sound all too great.
Built in Alexa - It may seem nice to be able to tell your speaker "Alexa, shuffle my music" but it really isn't all that satisfying when your speaker has to be connected to a WiFi network for that to work. I have a gym in my garage which is detached from my house and the WiFi is not very strong in there so I could not use voice controls to play my music. When I was able to use voice controls the mics would not pick up my voice when the volume was too loud. When I told Alexa to raise volume to 10 I was surprised with how big the sound was that I wanted to lower it back down with voice controls to 5 but the mics would not pick me up even when I yelled at the speaker.
No Aux Port: Very minor that there isn't an aux port with many new phones going without the headphone jack but it would've been nice to have one so you had an alternative to just using bluetooth or relying on a strong wireless network.

Pros:
Amazing Sound Quality: Despite not sounding great when the volume is all the way up this speaker does sound amazing at mid to slightly higher volume levels. It has a very smooth sound signature with enough bass to get me pumped for my workouts and enough volume to be heard from a distance without cranking it to max volume and distorting the sound.
Alexa Built In: When connected to a WiFi network this speaker allows voice controls via Amazon's Alexa through your amazon account. The speaker practically turns into a glorified Echo device where you can use voice purchasing, ask questions, play games, and control your smart home devices. (note: you get three months of music unlimited from Amazon after purchasing this speaker)
Water Resistant: Ultimate Ears seems to have this feature right on point where they’ve practically made it standard to include water resistance to their speakers which I highly appreciate. I do enjoy listening to music in the shower and with this speaker I don’t even need my phone to play music so I could take it in the show without any worries about damage.
Design: I am really enjoying the tubular shape and how tall the speaker is. It is not a huge speaker by any means and is smaller than most medium sized speakers on the market. The 360 degree sound is really a benefit when it comes to design and I’m glad it’s there. Surprisingly I was able to fit the speaker into my shorts pocket.
Battery Life: 12 hour battery life is huge for me. I am generally listening to music various times throughout the day without interruption and while using this speaker for 10 plus hours now it has not died. I also have it auto sleep when not in use for 15 minutes to save battery life if I forget to shut it off which happened often after messing around with Alexa voice commands.

Overall, I really do enjoy using this speaker and I would definitely recommend it to my friends and family members. The price point is really premium but you are getting Alexa built in and a regular Echo is not cheap so you are essentially getting two products here. I like Alexa built in but I feel as if you have to have the speaker docked and plugged into the charger for it to function like a voice assistant at all times which isn't too practical. Personally, I am using this speaker as a portable device with a few commands thrown at it here and there since my home is integrated with Alexa compatible devices but mainly I use it for its intended purpose and that is music. It is a bummer that only Amazon music is supported with this device so I can't use voice controls to play my music from Spotify or Google Play Music. It's not a huge deal since there is Bluetooth compatibility which works just fine. It's a great speaker with amazing sound and some neat features and it is definitely worth it for me.

Does the Sony 1000XM3 InEar have it's own volume control? I need to amplify my listening, while my wife listens to the normal TV volume. I have a pair of the Sony 1000XM# over the Ear Head Phones and of course they DO have volume control. Thanks.
Yes they have their own volume control. Volume can be controlled with your phone or through a voice assistant.

Can i use this during my workout sessions I have read articles which says it is not sweat proof and water resistant. I need to understand how bad can it get or damage the product if used during the workout? Is it ok to use or not recommended for workout
These are more for casual listening than for working out. Try out the jaybird xt run for working out or beats pro.

Enjoy up to 10 hours of wireless audio with these Sony noise-canceling headphones. They produce rich sound by playing at audio frequencies of 3-40,000Hz and have a closed-back design that blocks outside noise for a better listening experience. These Sony noise-canceling headphones sit comfortably behind the neck and work with or without the 1m wire.
Can I use to headphone while charging it?
No. You cannot simultaneously charge and listen to the headphones. Although, Sony does provide a Micro-USB to 3.5mm cable so you can use if you run out of battery and want to listen to your headphones.

Get your floors sparkling clean with this Bissell Spinwave powered mop. It’s made for sealed hard surfaces, and it uses washable cleaning pads that can be customized according to the type of flooring and level of cleansing the job requires. This Bissell Spinwave powered mop swivels to let you access hard-to-reach places.
Can I use murphys wood soap?
Best to use Bissell products with this mop. Otherwise it voids the warranty if something were to happen to it.

Create a reliable internet connection throughout your home with this Google Wi-Fi system. The convenient package of three connectivity points effortlessly covers even large homes up to 4,500 square feet. This Google Wi-Fi system eliminates uneven bandwidth usage among multiple devices, including cellphones and tablets, for an unimpeded connection that doesn't lag behind.
In some rooms in my house the WiFi signal is VERY weak and in some cases its not available. If I use an extender, it creates another WiFi ID which is different from the main one assigned to the router. Does this device creates another WiFi ID?
If you connect this directly to your modem it will replace your Wifi ID that you created. If you have a router/modem combo then you will create a new network so you will have two networks( existing network plus Google Wifi network). Wireless range extenders halve your bandwidth while Google Wifi access points do not. Use directly with modem to solve your double networking problem. Otherwise you may need to put one of your routers in bridge mode which essentially destroys your routers features and simply makes it into an expensive device that extends the range of your Wifi like your range extender that you mentioned earlier.

Will these work on a regular Verizon broadband? They don't offer the fios out where I liv yet
As long as you have a modem to connect it to it will work. So the answer is yes since you need a modem regardless of what ISP you have.
