Verified Purchase:Yes
Perfect for mounting my iPhone in random spots. It's a super fun because it looks like a little dog.
My wife has wanted this thing for ever and I felt good about getting it because Joby makes wonderful products. I had to explain to the Best Buy employee what this was so the only real bad thing is most won't have a clue how to use it lol.

I needed this cable for viewing my DSLR screen on an external monitor. When i was searching for cables the only ones I was able to find was way to long or to short so finding this one has been wonderful. It's a very basic cable nothing magical about it just a simple HDMI cable but it's the correct size and works.

Perfect for my product photos

Verified Purchase:Yes
I love taking photos and needed a great lens I could use at this size without paying an area and leg. The Canon Ef-s 10-18mm is just what I needed.
I do with the lenses would be a bit cheaper in price but the STM function that Canon provides is awesome, so I'm not complaining to much.
What makes this lens better then just using the 18-135 the Canon 70D comes with is having the option to have a wider angel shot is something I was able to get out of the 10mm part of the lens without getting any blur. All around great lens.

Sound quality was quite impressive
on November 26, 2016
Posted by: nickcal
I love wireless headphones. I like to be able to walk around the house and listen to music or even audio from a streaming video and not have to worry about a dangling cord that catches on everything. In the past few years I’ve had the pleasure of testing out many different styles of wireless headphones and wireless ‘sport’ headphones are the most challenging for me to like. They usually don’t fit me very well - even with the different sizes of ear gels - and they constantly fall out of my ear. Because I can’t find a ‘good fit’, I don’t get a good sound. So I tend to shy away from the ‘sport’ style wireless headphones. When I got the Sony Wireless Stereo Headset MDR-XB50BS with Extra Bass, I was hoping that these issues might be alleviated.
At first glance, I was surprised at how large the main earpiece is. On the right ear, you will find a power/multipurpose button along with the volume control. You also charge the headphones from this side from the Micro USB port that is hidden on the underside. The headphones do come with a variety of ear gels and ear wings to help with the ‘fit’. So, one of the first things I did was swap out the gel and wing for a smaller size. The one that came pre-installed was just a bit too large for me. The switch did seem to help quite a bit, but because I’m not very used to in-ear headphones, it took me a little while to get used to them.
The headphones comes with a full set of instructions along with a visual quick start guide. The first step is to pair the headset to your phone or other Bluetooth enabled device. I connected it to my iPhone 7 and then turned on some music. The multipurpose button works well for playing and pausing music and the volume trigger also works as an advance track button if you press/hold it for a couple of seconds.
I have to say that once I got used to the ‘feel’ of them, the sound quality was quite impressive. A lot of headphone users end up complaining that in-ear headphones like this don’t have the best bass quality, but these Sony headphones have an above average bass volume. I tested this out by turning on a Hip-Hop mix station on Pandora Radio and listening to a few tracks. There is a nice bounce to the music without making your ears rattle. It’s a very nice balance between treble and bass.
Overall, I liked these headphones. I am still not sure that these headphones are for me as they were never really ‘comfortable’, but I think the sound quality is much better than other wireless sport headphones. I did find that the ear gels can pop off quite easily. At one point I took the headphone out of my ears and one of the ear gels came off the earpiece.
They are good headphones, but I think they will work best for someone that already likes sport headphones.

Perfect for on the go and at home
on November 20, 2016
Posted by: nickcal
I'm very excited about this shaver. It's portable and has plenty of attachments that makes using it for multiple areas of the body perfect. It comes with a nice leather travel bag that I can keep it and the attachments in. It is a really good value for all the accessories that come with it. For the past several years, I've bounced around from razor/trimmer to razor/trimmer trying to find the right balance of function and portability. This one is perfect for travel and use at home even though some might just think of it for travel. I have another shaver that isn't quite as portable and this one works better than it does. It is easy to clean and switch attachment heads out. This would make a great gift for someone who needs a razor with lots of options.

A fun, entertaining assistant
on November 7, 2016
Posted by: nickcal
I'm a fan of the Amazon Echo and other digital assistants so when I was able to test out Google's new voice-activated assistant, Google Home, I was more than happy to do so. The Google Home is a voice-activated speaker that uses the Google Assistant to do things. It's about the size of a desktop Bluetooth speaker and it gives you the opportunity to control certain aspects of your home and daily life. The body of the device is designed to blend in with your regular home decor. It looks modern and works well with varying styles of interior design. The Google Home is first and foremost a speaker. As such, it's equipped with a microphone and play/pause and volume control. The basic speker controls are integrated into the touch surface on the top of the speaker. Because it’s voice activated, you can also control Google Home by talking to it. Commands like, “Play Pandora Radio,” will enable the music player on the device.
Even though I’m more of an Apple user, I really appreciate Google’s self-integration with devices like the Home. For one thing, the search is blazing fast. I used to have a virtual assistant called UBI, which pre-dated the other voice assistants like Google Home and Alexa. The search function worked on it, but it was slow - sometimes taking a solid minute to speak the answer back. Google Home responds within about 3 seconds whereas Siri on my iPhone 7 took about 7 seconds to tell me a response. All of Google Home’s functions are quick and precise. Another test we ran was to request that Siri and Google Home both turn on Hue lights in a specific room of our home. Again Home was faster. When asked, “Turn on the Living Room lights,” Siri took approximately 3.6 seconds to respond while Google Home only took about 3 seconds. What’s remarkable about this to me is that the two devices are running on the exact same network.
Set-up of the device is very easy. You plug it into power and then follow the instructions on the companion app, which is available for both iOS and Android devices. Basically, once the Home is connected to the internet, you can start using it. The app is truly a companion because other than set-up, you don’t really need to use it. The app gives you pointers like ‘Things to ask’ and helps you connect other services like Music services and Home controls. You do have to use the app to connect your other smart devices in your home.
Probably the most impressive thing about the Google Home is the follow-up functionality when you ask questions. For example, you can ask, “Who is the current President of the United States?” And Home will answer, “Barack Obama.” You can then say, “How old is he?” Home will respond, “He is 55 years old.” Other voice assistant will get confused and say that they can’t answer the question because it doesn’t get the reference back to the original question. This is a function of the Google Assistant and it pulled through into this device flawlessly.
One of my favorite thing about Google Home, aside from how well it works, is how fun it is. Google Home provides an entertainment outlet in addition to a functional assistant. You can play trivia games with it, which makes it a fun addition to family gatherings. Say you are sitting around with friends and want to do something other than visit. You can simply say, “Play a trivia game,” and Google Home will act as your game show host. You can let it know how many people are playing and it will ask questions for each player in the correct order. We tried this out a couple of times with no problems. You can also have Google Home just ask you single questions if you are on your own.
As easy as Google Home is to set-up and use, it does still have its limitations. They are limitations that I feel that Google will upgrade over time with software updates, but they are still very noticeable especially if you use other voice assistants like Alexa. First, Google Home only works with some smart devices. Right now, it’s only compatible with Nest, Philips Hue lights, and SmartThings. It does work with IFTTT protocols and recipes and you can control your TV if you have a Google Chromecast, but no other streaming media devices. Google Home also only works with 5 different music streaming services - YouTube Music, Spotify, Pandora, Google Play Music, and TuneIn. You can’t connect to libraries throughout your house like you can with devices like Apple TV, but again, I think this is something that will probably be an upgrade once Home isn’t quite so new. One other very basic feature that the Home does not do is to record reminders. You can ask it to remind you to do something and it says, “Sorry, I can’t set reminders yet,” which leads me to believe it’s a forthcoming option.
For the limitations that Google Home has, it does a lot of things very right. If I had to choose between the Google Home and Alexa, I would choose the Home because it is so much fun to use. I think that if you are integrated into Google’s ecosystem, the Home is definitely the way to go.

Linksys makes Smart WiFi easy to use
on November 1, 2016
Posted by: nickcal
A long time ago, I set up my first WiFi network in my first apartment. It was a bit of a tedious process because the idea of home wireless networking was very new. My brother insisted that I have it though because it would make my life easier. He was of course very correct in that estimation and I’ve never had a residence that didn’t have WiFi. That being said, as our Internet protocols have advanced, so has the equipment for our home networks. I’ve had routers that connect to modems, modem/router combinations, and even just direct connections to switches with a good old ethernet cable. My point is that I’ve had experiences setting up networks. So, when I was presented with the opportunity to review the Linksys WRT 3200 ACM Router, I was a little hesitant because sometimes, it can just be a pain. But, as I was to find out quite quickly, the Linksys WRT 3200 is an impressive piece of hardware with an even more impressive signal output.
Before I get into the review at hand, I want to describe our current WiFi network and its settings. We have a Netgear Nighthawk C7000 WiFi Cable Modem Router combo headlining our network. While we can turn off the WiFi network from the Netgear, we have been using it. We also have a mesh network set-up for signal consistency throughout the house via the eero WiFi system. Now, we also have the Linksys set-up as yet another WiFi network signal. I mention all this because all of these systems are pulling the same signal from our Internet Provider (Time Warner) and it makes the speed test results below even more impressive.
SET-UP (ROUTER)
Set-up was very, very easy. The Linksys comes with a quick start guide that gives you 4 simple steps to get your WiFi network up and running. You connect it to power with the supplied cable, then you connect the router to your modem (in our case, the Netgear Nighthawk). Once the indicator lights on the front of the Linksys show that it is powered and receiving an Internet signal, you connect to the wireless network through your computer (or mobile device) using the default network name (Linksys00505 in our case) and provided password. For me, this part of the set-up process took about 5 minutes. It was that easy. I used a MacBook Pro (mid-2014 model) to connect to the network and it was just as easy as selecting the network name from my WiFi drop-down menu and typing in the password.

I used a MacBook Pro (mid-2014 model) to connect to the network and it was just as easy as selecting the network name from my WiFi drop-down menu and typing in the password.
The last step of the set-up is to launch the Linksys Smart WiFi instructions in an Internet browser. This step includes the Linksys system updating. I would recommend that you give permission to the system to update automatically, but you can always change this later.
SET-UP (SMART WIFI)
Once you have the initial set-up complete, then you can move into the Smart WiFi aspect of the router. It’s actually quite ingenious the way the Linksys has it set-up. First of all, you can connect to the router’s settings via the web address listed above, or through the mobile app (available for iOS or Android). What’s really cool about this particular system is how easy it is to use. As I mentioned, I’ve set-up and maintained several different WiFi networks throughout my adult life and I’ve always needed assistance getting them set-up (either from a human or additional instructions online) because the admin panel is always written in gibberish (a.k.a. programmer’s speak). The interfaces are just not very friendly. Linksys got this system right with the Smart WiFi option. Anyone can get their network set-up quickly and easily when using this option.

The interfaces are just not very friendly. Linksys got this system right with the Smart WiFi option. Anyone can get their network set-up quickly and easily when using this option.
SPEEDTEST
When it came to speed testing the WiFi signal, I used two sources - speedtest and sourceforge. Both options give the user a clear view of the network speed and what you are truly getting. We were recently upgraded to a 250-meg service when our internet provider was acquired by a new company. But, we’ve never really seen that download speed and assumed it was because we were checking it the speed at times when the provider may have been throttling the network signal (higher traffic times). As it turns out, it was the hardware we were using at home. As you will see below, I have listed the results of the speed tests. I only used sourceforge to test out the accuracy of speedtest and then I used speedtest to test each of the networks against each other.

speedtest: 97.66 Mbps (down) | 15.43 Mbps (up)
speedtest: 97.66 Mbps (down) | 15.43 Mbps (up)
EERO WIFI SYSTEM
speedtest: 86.23 Mbps (down) | 19.53 Mbps (up)
speedtest: 86.23 Mbps (down) | 19.53 Mbps (up)
I ran the test several times - switching back and forth between the networks - and every time, the Linksys router won with the best download speed. We got the same results when we ran the speed test on the iPhone, too. I continue to be very impressed by the speed of the signal provided by the Linksys router.
CONCLUSIONS
The Linksys WRT 3200 ACM Router is a solid piece of networking hardware. It’s very easy to set-up and I don’t think you’ll be disappointed with its performance.

The warranty you need
on October 30, 2016
Posted by: nickcal
Verified Purchase:Yes
Apple Care Plus is the warranty you need for any Apple products. When you have Apple Care you are covered for most any accidental damage for up to two times and it covers two years of phone support. Not only that the product is covered for three years total so if anything was to just randomly go wrong like the buttons stick or the screen stop working you would be all good.

Faster then the first Apple Watch
on October 30, 2016
Posted by: nickcal
Verified Purchase:Yes
I owned the first Apple Watch and was not a super fan of the product. It was much better than the other Smart Watch I had before but still lacked due to watchOS.
This year Apple released watchOS 3 and it improved my first Apple Watch tremendously. I knew the speed and the full waterproofing was what I needed with the Apple Watch Series 2.
So how is the design? It's the same as the first Apple Watch but slightly thicker. Not enough that you can notice. The speakers seem louder and everything runs much quicker. I love this watch. The only thing I don't like is that I did not get the edition. The porcelain Apple Watch looks hot.
One hint of advice. If you have the first Apple Watch and you upgrade, set the watch up as a new Watch. Don't try to pull your settings from iCoud down to it. I did and my new watch ran at the speed of SLOW! After doing a clean install and setting it up as new I've had no problems at all.

Google found a winning design with the Pixel
on October 24, 2016
Posted by: nickcal
I am a die-hard iOS fan. I’ve had every iPhone since they were released and almost every major technology device I purchase is Apple. Coming from the view of someone who is iOS all the way I can tell you that my short time with the Google Pixel has been interesting. I found the phone to be very well-designed and it rivals my iPhone 7 Plus. It’s an exceptional mobile phone and it was actually a pleasure to use.
Most of the Android phones we get I pass along to others to write about because the operating system makes me jitter in my sleep. One of my big problems with Android is that the manufacturers and carriers tend to add a lot of ‘bloatware’ to the phones. And, because the carriers like to maintain control as much as possible, sometimes the OS should receive an update, but the carriers don’t allow the update through. The product designer and carrier just don’t ‘talk’ to each other. With Google, they have full over the hardware and software and the OS shows a great improvement with Nugget 7.1. Unlike any other Android phone I’ve ever used, I received an update the second day of using it. I don’t think I ever received an update while using other Android devices so it was a pleasant surprise.
Let’s start this review by looking at the build quality. I found the body of the smartphone to be very familiar. The front reminds me of an iPhone without the fingerprint scanner. The ‘chin' is still there on the front of the phone and even though some people are complaining that it’s unused space, I see the non-touch screen real estate to be a useful resting place for my fingers when flipping to landscape mode.
Google placed the fingerprint reader on the back rather than the front - this is somewhat typical of other Android-based phone designs. I was very impressed with the set-up process of the fingerprint scanner. It scanned my finger faster than the iPhone and reads my print correct the first time every time. The back of the phone is part aluminum (bottom half) and part glass (top half). Also located on the back is the camera and its flash. You will notice right off the bat that Google found a way not to have the crazy camera hump that the iPhone (and some Samsung phones) has and that makes for a smoother and cleaner look. Even though the back is sleek and smooth, Google did not attempt to hide the antenna line at the bottom of the phone. Apple took care to move the antenna line on the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus so that it is less noticeable.
The underside of the smartphone has one speaker port and a USB-C port for charging and syncing. The second speaker area looks like a speaker but it’s not. The USB-C post is a nice touch for the phone. At the top, you will see the good old headphone jack everyone is missing on the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus. Personally, I was glad to see the headphone jack removed from the iPhone design, but I know that others still want it. Those people will be happy that Google included it here.
When you hold the Pixel next to the iPhone 7 they feel and look very similar. The weight of the Pixel is (143 grams) where the iPhone 7 weighs in at only (138 grams). I found that when holding both the iPhone 7 and the Pixel that the iPhone felt like it weighed more but the specs don’t lie. The small diffidence in weight would be hard for anyone to detect.
When it came to comparing the Pixel’s speed to the iPhone, it was a close race to call. When opening YouTube, the Pixel won. Safari won for fastest Internet Browser and the iPhone won for the best Instagram experience because of how it handled video. The general camera function was pretty much a tie. I think the iPhone 7 Plus has one of the best displays in the market, but the colors on Google’s Pixel really stand out with its AMOLED display.
Speaking of displays looking, at the photos and video I’ve taken with the Pixel I find them to look beautiful. The camera takes wonderful photos and to be honest I was expecting to say the iPhone would just blow the Pixel out of the water but it really held its own. The Pixel handles backgrounds very well and takes super crisp shots. I like most of the shots I took with the Pixel and found them to show blacks much better than the iPhone, but there were some photos the Pixel overcompensated for with the colors and they look like someone added Instagram filters to them. When it comes to the camera you're getting more if you buy an iPhone 7 Plus but if you're looking for what I feel is the best camera with Android devices, the Pixel is the clear winner.
I’m impressed with this Android phone. Nugget is a solid OS and for years I’ve bashed Android. If Apple stopped selling iPhones tomorrow and Google kept on this path with the Pixel it would be my smartphone of choice at this time.

No. Unfortunately, Google has limited functionality to only the Nest thermostat. At this time, I don't see them opening up support for third parties as they are probably trying to push it with their own hardware, but that could always change.
