A headset that brings you IN the game
on August 18, 2021
Posted by: DarR
from Los Angeles CA, USA
Everything I hear from these headphones are BIG. At 40% of the volume it sounds like it is on full blast. The sound makes it seem like I am in a space bigger than where I actually am. That means—it is so good—it makes me feel like I am really in the realm.
Out of the box, it does require some tweaking of the sound using the app equalizer—but that’s any other speaker—I adjust them to fit my taste. Luckily, the app is easy to use, I can set the sound settings and tweak the lights to match my set up.
The headset itself is nicely made. The finish feels nice to touch and the materials are solid (vs. flimsy ones). The band automatically adjusts to my head which is good but is a little tight at the top. I am not sure if it is just my head but it kind of pulls my hair a little. Maybe in time it will change if it loosens up, but hopefully it does not affect the snugness of the headset on my ears. Speaking of being snug, it was comfortable enough to be on for at least 4 hours. It could also be that I don’t notice the time because it sounds good, but my lobes do not feel sore when I take them off.
Chatting is nothing exceptional but is a good thing. My buddies did not notice anything different so that’s another plus because chat reliability is important! Oh and even the connectivity is good—I can go get a snack or take a quick restroom break and not be disconnected.
Getting one for yourself? Sounds good to me!

An unexpectedly great gaming machine
on August 17, 2021
Posted by: DarR
from Los Angeles CA, USA
As someone who is not so young anymore but still loves to play games, this is what a gaming laptop should be. 1) Compact – sized right that’s easy to carry everywhere 2) Design is classy—it does not scream “I game all day” in it’s form and finish 3) Powerful and FAST – I can play Warframe at 60FPS in full resolution settings without drops (I probably can run it faster but the game does not allow for more than 60FPS). Fortnite runs on full unlimited frames without stutter. Roblox and mobile-enabled games run smooth as butter. Even my Stadia games, which are more server-latency-dependent games run great.
At 512GB storage space, it’s more than enough for the games that I play. The combination of WiFi 6, 4GB of VRAM and 16GB of RAM make it more than enough for me to keep going. The display is nice and bright even at just 60hz. The sound is nothing super great but I wear a headset most of the time anyway. The keyboard has this soft feel to the touch and is spaced perfectly. Plus Asus has this software that helps me monitor my machine performance and settings. The ports are the usual—USB-Cs, a couple of USB-As for my controller jack, an HDMI and still has a headset jack. All these make it just the perfect machine to play games. I know there are more powerful machines out there with crazier video cards or processors, but who needs those way more expensive PCs if this can run the intense games I play? This set up makes this machine priced perfectly for my needs.
Asus has made gaming more available to regular guys like me who will not spend a lot just to get decent specs for playing games. I love it and recommend it a lot!

This is a laptop that’s perfect for everyday needs. It’s a high quality daily laptop that’s a 2-in1 so it makes it very versatile:
1) It is priced right while the design makes it look like it is more expensive than it is -- tight hinges and a durable frame with an elegant finish.
2) The IrisXE integrated card is enough for light games, even Roblux or mobile games that can run on PC.
3) Port options are perfect as well. SD card, HDMI, headphone jack if you are still into that, USB port for charging or display and power (there is a port for an actual power adapter but this comes with a USB-C for power).
4) It comes with a fingerprint reader and a cover for the webcam which helps a lot with security and ease of use of the laptop.
5) It is not lightweight but it could be because of the touchscreen but is responsive enough to navigate through usual browsing and app switching.
6) The keyboard has this nice texture to it and has enough ride as I typed.
7) It has thin bezels but the display can be brighter – resolution quality though is very sharp.
8) The sound on it is crisp. I actually thought there was glass breaking outside my window when I played this mobile game on it that has crystal shatter.
9) And a conference call is very hassle-free, meaning no hiccups and it was very reliable.

Yes, it’s an i5 and has 8gb—versus other laptops out in the market that sell you i7s with 16gb of ram. Seriously though, unless you need one million monitors and multiple large spreadsheets with macros in your face, this one is more than enough. And believe me, even if you get higher spec ones, you won’t see the difference in daily performance with this one. Browsing, watching videos, word processing, pulling up spreadsheets, simple photo editing, even some gaming—all done with relative ease on this laptop. After all, it’s a Dell and they have perfected what the usual person needs and this one has the bells and whistles that I need to be productive everyday.

This doorbell is the least stressful smart home device I have ever encountered. Of course, that is a big thing to say-- but it really is. From installation to usage, this doorbell is a gem. It is a very simple, no fuss approach to doorbells and I love it.
First off, the parts are easy to understand, this is even without looking at the instructions yet. Then the manual itself is very friendly and easy to digest.
I chose to go the battery route, which I am sure is way easier than wiring it up. Installation was as easy as, screw-mount then-click-the-device-in kind of deal. The chime was a no-brainer.
Then setting up the devices though the app was a breeze too. The cues to install was intuitive and fail-proof (which is very important to note). I have installed other devices in my home and have had to reinstall and connect multiple times at set up- this Eufy doorbell all seamlessly connected at first pass! Also, to note, charging is pretty universal. Just click off the doorbell and charge it, which is so good because I don't have to worry about the wiring and all that.
App usage is easy as well. I can easily navigate through the camera and the recordings. Again, Eufy has really well thought about the app flow-- camera settings such as sensitivity, motion, quality, audio settings, as well as automations, and modes are all easy to understand and change. And the descriptions have enough information for me to know what each click will do without it making me lose my 5-year old level of focus. Also, to note, the geofencing mode, easily detects my location and chenges it to the correct mode--- believe me, a lot of other geofencing functionality in other apps do not perform as good as this.
Recordings are clear enough to recognize face details and are easy to refer to. Doorbell is responsive (and the chime is LOUD). Integration to my smart home is very effective too-- I just easily ask Google to show me the front door on my tv, and it is there in 15 seconds from a fully turned off tv with Chromecast. If the tv is on, the doorbell streams in less than 5 seconds.
Although there are cloud storage options and subscriptions, I don't have to do it and they are not sold on my face. The chime has a local (yes local!!) SDcard that stores my recordings. And the SDcard comes free too!
I know this age of smart homes and devices will keep growing and keep getting better. I'm glad this doorbell is going in the right direction by making it really easy to own such a device in both the hardware and the software aspects. 5 million stars!

A gaming uninterruptible power supply (UPS) is a battery backup for your PC and console. APC Back-UPS™ Pro Gaming keeps you protected, connected, and in the game.
Posted by: DarR
from Los Angeles CA, USA
Communication is key. And this is what this UPS does best. It communicates so well. To me, even though battery back up from this UPS is already great, what’s really important is I need to know how much juice I still have to keep going so I can manage my game progress better.
Besides the beep that tells me I am on battery power, it tells me how much I still have left, given my current consumption. The circular color “bar” tells me the progress of how is left in the UPS, in very helpful colors and levels. And the interface can also be toggled through my preference depending on what I want to look at—such as load and percentage of battery. The indicator screen manages my expectations well-- I know when I have to start letting my squad know that I will be out for a while.
In my PC set up with two monitors and full lighting peripherals plus platform speaker with sub, it lasts me a good 11 minutes until the UPS power hits orange to empty. In my console setup with an 86 inch TV, a PS4 Pro and an atmos soundbar, it takes me 8 minutes before I hit battery empty from UPS full charge and the power goes off. This UPS gives me impressive back up power and enough information on how far I can keep going in my missions.
The design is also beautiful—it helps improve the look on my messy desk, plus the USB-A / C ports gives me easy access to charging. The selection of lights hues are great too! I can easily match up the LED colors to my keyboard and headset LEDs, making my whole set up looking like a desk of the future. My only concern is, like all other UPS, the sockets are not wide enough to fit some of my power adapters (my internet modem adapter takes up 3 slots).
Other than that, this UPS is more than just what I need. It does not just let me connect and forget my devices—it actually informs me how to manage my gaming power load when the unexpected happens.

Nowadays who goes for wired peripherals. I ask myself that too. But I guess it does not follow for all things especially if it gives you noticeable benefits-- like these G335 headphones.
These headphones are light! It is that light that it is very comfortable on the head. So having the automatically adjusting band match its light form makes it such a good pair to have. It is light but at the same time, the build is solid and seems very durable.
Most of all, it actually sounds good. It sounds full and the transmission seems seamless-- at least according to my GTA 5 buddies who complimented my "non-cracking" clear audio quality. And yes, full spatial sound is great and is a requirement for me because I do not want anyone to sneak behind me on the field. Plus, the flip to mute function is very handy alongside the volume dial.
I think the best value for me of this is the comfort. I was able to wear it for at least 3 hours without noticing earlobe soreness-- that is very very very important to me as someone who spends time camping my opponents (and keeping my kill to death ratio positive). Some part of me wants to use this for my gruesomely long zoom meetings over my usual bluetooth buds.
These are wired headphones so I do not have to worry about it being charged. I'm actually surprised that these wired sets keep getting better. Kudos to Logi for having such a good product. I love it.

Perfect for creating mobile videos
on June 29, 2021
Posted by: DarR
from Los Angeles CA, USA
Huge difference over using my phone's mic. I was hesitant to use an external mic at first because of wires and just plain ignorance of how an external input can add to the complexity of translating the audio into my output. This wireless lavalier system just made everything easier.
Besides my only concern of having to get a usb-c to usb-a adapter to plug it in, everything else is easy. It was easily detected by my phone as a mic source. I just had to adjust my app mic settings to "system default."
The audio is clearer on my videos especially that I have a lot of road noise at my workplace. My voice quality is very focused on my vocals versus hearing other environment sounds, so this will be much better if I do walking videos or street recordings. I don't have to face my phone a certain way to get good quality. Also, I can move around and not have to worry about any inconsistency in my vocal level. Best of all, the lavalier is simply hidden in my shirt, my videos will still look all natural without any visual of microphones or headsets.
It's a no-brainer for anyone who records using their mobile phones. The audio quality is already worth it, all the more that it is wireless. I recommend.

Compact video production assistant!

What I like about this kit--- it is a real kit. It's everything you need to start vlogging. It is complete with what you need to equip yourself with a mini studio or even just to support you to be able to create cool videos.
Even if you are not a vlogger yet or not even a vlogger at all, it helps to have one in these times of creating reels.
Everything is so simple, I do not even have to read the instructions. The dials and hinges on this kit are easy to navigate. These include placing my phone in the brackets, sliding the flash in place, plugging the mic in and setting the tripod. The tripod turns into a mobile handle, the hinges can be positioned depending on my creative angle, and even the flash can be set on its different levels and it comes with color filters too. Even the audio captures I think are a better than my phone mic.
Two concerns though-- 1) Having a newer phone, I need a USB-C to 3.5mm adapter to attach the microphone. Not a big deal because I already have one. 2) The deadcat for the mic cannot be positioned well enough for it not to not block light from the light kit; so it's just something to consider when lighting yourself.
Of course my actual finished videos is based on so many factors like my phone quality (pixel 3) or my actual creative eye (im not an expert). But having this kit helps a lot in producing my videos.

Changed my mind about chromebooks!
on June 11, 2021
Posted by: DarR
from Los Angeles CA, USA
As a typical PC user, I am all about specs. So this Acer Chromebook came as a surprise. 32GB storage and 4GB of ram looked suspect--- until I experienced it.
I’m a google user, so I know how the google ecosystem magically works. It is easy and intuitive. And the better thing is, the system works harmoniously on these specs. So this chromebook was so easy to use and so convenient too. Boots up quicky when you open the lid—something you need for impatient children.
Form factor is compact and light. It is perfect for our 6-year old. As long as it works on school tasks, Youtube AND ROBLOX, it was all we needed. Usually, if you use Roblox on a mobile device, like a phone or a tablet, it freezes after 40 minutes of being on. This chromebook kept going. In fact, battery like is amazing. You won’t last hours on Roblox on a regular PC. In this chromebook, I was able to keep a farming simulator on for at least 6 hours unplugged and it still had juice in it—if only I had more time to stay on it to see how long it will fully drain.
It is reasonably-priced too, so I was not afraid of it being banged up; although the casing itself seems very sturdy and durable albeit being light. It easily fits in a slim purse (well diaper bag to be exact) and that small pocket behind the front car seat.
This is such a good value device. Acer did a pretty good job on this compact package!

Sleek design and good quality
on May 29, 2021
Posted by: DarR
from Los Angeles CA, USA
Nowadays, you cannot go wrong with any air purifier. Only because they usually just run in the background and you hope it is doing its job. But why will I get something that I don’t know if it works for me, really?
This is why I recommend this air purifier. Besides the 4 levels of purification. It actually has an indicator that tells you when the air quality is not good. I placed it in auto mode, because in this mode, it’s supposed to adjust its fan when the air goes bad. I didn’t think it was working at first because I live on a busy street and get air and unfortunately wind from the vehicles passing by (thus the purifier). The fan setting stayed pretty steady and quiet, then all of a sudden, it became noisy. The fan speed came up and true enough, it wasn’t the air from vehicles outside, but actually the smoke coming in from the neighbors grill. There is considerable noise—but not bad enough to disturb me, or what I’m watching. So yes, it does its job well and you wouldn’t really notice it—I just was paying closer attention since it was new.
Speaking of new, the design looks very sleek and it matches my tv room furnishings. I am very particular with the look because these purifiers have to blend in—it is something I could never hide. Another plus is, it does not take up so much space!
The added purifying stages and the design makes me feel good about this purifier. If you’re getting one, might as well go with something that gives you peace-of-mind.
