Compact over the ear design....
on January 25, 2018
Posted by: jago
from Sparks, NV
These headphones have a very compact over the ear design and for my head, they simply were not comfortable to wear. My head is average, but these were very snug and I am not able to wear them for very long. I also can't wear them around my neck when they are not being used. The design seems like it will hold up pretty well, but I wouldn't expect these to last for years and years. Battery life was great and I managed to get right around the 18 hours that they advertise. Also, they advertise that they can stay unused for up to 6 months and still hold a charge. They are pretty light weight, but just snug so you know that they are there. Sound wise they were decent, they blocked out outside noise pretty well and have some decent bass. If you install the Plantronics Hub app, you can get a battery status for them as well. That is a nice feature. They come with a cheap cloth carrying case, which does the job. Pairing with my phone was a breeze and also with my laptop, I didn't encounter any problems there. They seem to have good range too, I didn't start to hear the sound break up till around the 30 foot mark. Phone calls were clear and they other party heard me just fine, but my testing conditions were in a relative quite environment, I was not able to test in a noisy location.

Excellent lights!!!
on December 21, 2017
Posted by: jago
from Sparks, NV
These lights are a great addition to my home. I am really looking forward to getting more lights, sensors, and wireless switches to outfit my whole home with LED technology. I really hate replacing light bulbs, especially when they are supposed to last a few years and after a year they are dead. First off, they come with a nice 3 year warranty on parts and labor, but they are rated for 25,000 hours of use. For me that should be at least 10 years....maybe more. I purchased the bridge to go with these and that allows me to control them with my Alexa, google home, and Phone via the Hue App. I also purchased a wireless switch and put in on the wall in my kitchen where I really wanted my light switch to be at. For some reason the builder put the switch in the middle of the kitchen, which you usually want the switch to be near the entrance of the room. Well, the wireless switch solved that problem. The different modes the lights can produce are excellent. They are: Relax, Read, Concentrate, and Energize. They are yellowish to super white. You can also customize the shade of white to your liking as well. The initial set up with the app was pretty easy, but the updates that the lights needed out of the box did take a few hours. The app does tell you that so just be patient and let it do its thing. I can't wait to get more of these lights for my whole house.

A lightweight and feature rich watch
on December 11, 2017
Posted by: jago
from Sparks, NV
This is a pretty cool running watch to have. It's very lightweight so you hardly even know it's there and it does a lot in that light package. No fancy graphics or colors here, just a basic monochrome screen (with back light) which reminds me of my old casio watch I had when I was younger. The GPS in this watch will is very accurate. You do have to calibrate it before your first run, but after that it just works great. 13 hour battery life with constant GPS use is plenty, but you can wear this watch all day and have it last easily without using GPS. You can use the Epson "Run Connect" app to track your workouts or you can use their website as well. The app is easy to use and intuitive and I have no real complaints there. My biggest complaint is with the charger that comes with the watch. It is a clip (like for a bag of chips) that you clip onto the watch and the contacts on the watch make contact with the contacts on the clip to charge via USP. Kind of a cheap set up in my opinion. Would have been nicer if wireless charging or a magnetic charger was included. The Heart Rate sensor seems to work pretty well, but I did have some issues with it not reading my heart rate due to positioning. A few adjustments of the strap (mainly making sure it was tight) and I was back in business. The price does seem a bit steep for this watch though, so because of that, I cannot recommend this to a friend. Maybe a sale price I would be able to recommend it.

Easy and fun to use
on November 25, 2017
Posted by: jago
from Sparks, NV
If you are an advanced user you will like this, but there are probably better options out there, if you are a beginner or novice, you will LOVE this software. It is very simple to use and very intuitive. It will allow you to easily find your videos (and photos) and you can categorize them to make them easier to find. If you are like me, you probably take 1000's of photos and videos and are always searching through all of them to find the one you want. This will make it easier for you. This software simple just works. They include a DVD for MAC and Windows, but if you don't have a DVD drive you can download the rather large 2.6 GB file directly to your computer. I have been having a lot of fun with this, turning my simple videos in to fun videos with graphics, text, transitions, music and even voice overs.

Perfect security cameras
on November 19, 2017
Posted by: jago
from Sparks, NV
I am in love with these little cameras. They are very easy to set up (using the Arlo app) and also very easy to mount where you want them. It only takes one screw to mount the magnetic holder to the desired location. You are given two screws and two drywall anchors if you need them. I just mounted them to the wood on the outside of my house. One by my front door and they other above the garage to keep an eye on my work van and driveway and part of the cul-de-sac that I live in. The app allows you to dial in the sensitivity to your liking. I set mine to the 33 setting and it picks up just about everything that I need it to. I may even lower it a bit more, but I will have to test some more. Trial and error is your friend there. Both cameras have been up and running for nearly a week and they are just at 95% battery left. They have seen plenty of activity in that time as well and I don't have any worry about the battery not lasting at least a couple of months. And when a charge is needed, removing the camera from its magnetic mount is easy to do. I just need to get my step stool out and pull the camera away from the mount, which holds it very securely. Wind will not move it and they are mounted high enough that a person cannot just grab them. I did purchase the silicone skins for them to help hide them a bit more at night. Also to help protect my garage mounted one from the sun and elements a bit more since its more exposed. The app works great and you have a ton of features and settings that you can play around with. I was a bit disappointed that you cannot set zones up without the camera being hard wired into a power source. 7 days of free online recording is offered which is good enough for most people. I plan to hook up a usb drive to the base station to save recordings. Notifications that the cameras detect activity is quick and actually useful. You have the ability to talk to someone at your door through the camera, even if you are not home, using the cameras speaker and microphone. Night vision is around 25 feet and I have mine set up to provide the best video quality, but you can choose between a balanced setting or battery life setting. My personally, if something happens, I want to have the best video quality that I can to have the best chance at identifying a person. You can hook up to 5 cameras to the base station and I do plan on adding at least two more cameras around the house. I also plan on purchasing the different mounts that are offered to allow a bit more angling of the cameras, right now I would like to angle the front door camera facing down more, but the rounded magnetic mount won't allow it.

Pretty sweet for a vacuum
on November 16, 2017
Posted by: jago
from Sparks, NV
I am pretty impressed with the features of this Hoover React cordless vacuum. In the box you have so many attachments that you won't be disappointed at all. You get a crevice tool (that has an innovative rubber tip that extends and bends further for very hard to reach places), a dusting brush, upholstery tool, a pet upholstery tool (rubber tipped attachment for the upholstery tool), a powered stair tool, and a pivoting extension for reaching high shelves and allows you to bend it so that you can reach a flat surface high up. Also included is a neat storage system. The dirt cup is very large and can easily handle a large area to clean....and along with that is a battery that seems to last forever. I struggled to use the whole battery to clean my 2300 sq foot house and stairs. I had to clean a few rooms a couple of times. I think if you had a house up to 3500 sq ft you would be ok with this little vacuum. As a bonus, you can remove the battery and charge it so you can easily add a second battery and have it on the charger just in case you have a huge mansion to clean. All the extra attachments are in addition to the wonderful powered head that has a few LED headlights to light your way. This vacuum makes it super easy to clean under tables ,chairs, and beds that are about 3 inches from the ground and you have a pretty long reach to get underneath them. You can connect to the Hoover app that will let you know the battery remaining, maintenance tips/reminders, ability to turn off the roller for different floor types among other things. The "FloorSense" technology didn't seem to work that great for me. I have a low pile carpet and at times it would slow down the roller as if it was a hard smooth floor. Not a big deal and you can disable that feature if you want to. I also found the trigger button on the vacuum a little odd to get used to. It takes about a half a second to actually start up when you pull the trigger, but if you click the trigger twice, it will stay on and that worked better for me. Over all, with the amount of dirt that it can hold, the long battery life, the ridiculous amount of attachments, and the coolness factor, I can recommend this to my friends and family. I didn't mention the weight though, it is a bit on the heavy side so using this to clean up high will not be that easy. Clean up is also very easy.

right price, right sound, can't go wrong here
on November 10, 2017
Posted by: jago
from Sparks, NV
These headphones sound really good for the price range that they are in there even comparable to some of my more expensive headphones I own, the base is deep the treble is high just overall good sound. They fit securely in your ear with the loop and I had no issues with them falling out or even feeling like they wanted to fall out. Battery life has been as advertised which isn't the greatest out there but it will get you through most workouts or most days. My only issue was the size of the control box it's a little bulky and big and if you don't secure the headphones right with the little clip that can take up the extra cord you might find it flopping around but secure the cord properly and you probably will not have an issue. It is also a nice feature that they are sweat resistant as well. I usually don't sweat a lot but you might and it's nice to know that your headphones won't be ruined by that or a little rain. If you're looking for good sounding headphones for decent price you should give these ones a shot you can't go wrong.

A robot that can take over your floor care
on October 28, 2017
Posted by: jago
from Sparks, NV
This little robot works great. You can schedule it with the included remote to automatically clean while you are away. Run time is about 60 minutes and in that time it is able to clean my 1200 sq ft area that is downstairs. Object avoidance is pretty good and it hasn't gotten stuck under any of my furniture or tables. I do have a lot of toys in my living room from my toddler and it cleans around those very nicely. I have used the included boundary strips (is just a magnetic strip that you can cut in 18" lengths) and they work very well. I used it around my dog bowls and any low hanging drapes or area rugs that are flimsy. Emptying and cleaning the dust bin is simple and easy. They recommend you shake out the HEPA filter once a month, but I do it just about every day. It seems like it would really get clogged up if I waited a full month. The dust bin has been about halfway full each time I have emptied it and I have even vacuumed with my full size vacuum in the week that the little Shark ION has been working. I imagine at some point it might not pick up the same amount of dust and debris with daily cleanings, but so far it hasn't reached that point. The cleaning path is pretty random, but it seems to be getting just about every area in the 60 or so minutes that it runs. I have woken up every morning to find it back on its charging base ready to go for the next scheduled cleaning. The included side brushes that spin seem to help it pull in dirt and I see the brushes getting a bit frayed even after a week. I am not sure how long they will last but they are easily replaceable. The noise level is pretty low too. I am able to watch tv easily with this running and it is hardly noticeable. I think this is a great little cleaning robot for the money. It cleans well and just works, you won't be disappointed.

Sweet sounding headphones with great features
on October 23, 2017
Posted by: jago
from Sparks, NV
The Sony WH-1000XM2 heaphones are a great way to listen to your favorite sounds. I do think they need to find a better name for them though, but besides that they are just about perfect. Fit is nice and snug and the ear cushions are very soft and supple and feel great on your ears. The headphones themselves are a bit on the heavy size, but even after a few prolonged listening sessions the weight didn't bother me that much. They are a bit on the large size too, but Sony has packed a bunch of features onto these things. Pairing up with my Galaxy Note8 was a breeze using NFC to pair it up. Pairing it with my laptop via BT was pretty simple as well. However, I was not able to pair it up to more than one device at a time. Another feature that would have been nice would be if the headphones told you what device they were connected to and not just say "Bluetooth connected", but if you only pair it to one device then you may not be bothered by that as much as I was...maybe a software fix could add that feature. The app to fine tune the headphones is fantastic. Very easy to use and has more settings then you can change a stick at. Adaptive sound control will automatically detect what you are doing and your environment and make the changes to handle that via Noise cancelling or letting you hear the outside noise. Very handy to stay safe while walking around, cars, people talking, ect can be heard to some extent while you are listening to your tunes so you are somewhat aware of your surroundings. The noise cancelling feature is pretty good as well. I tested them out while mowing my lawn and i could barely hear my lawnmower. The app has a noise canceling optimizer to fine tune that as well. Battery life is rated at 30 hours and I have no doubt that I will see pretty close to that mark. Touch features are also included in these headphones. The right side acts as a control interface that is easy to use. For example, you can double tap the center and it will pause your music, hold down on the center with one finger for a few seconds and the voice assistant living in your phone, I tested it with bixby and google assistant. Swiping up or down will adjust he volume and swiping forward or back will skip ahead or rewind your music. The best touch feature is being able to mute all sounds when you cover the entire right side with the palm of your hand, music is muted and you can hear the outside world perfectly, that can come in handy on an airplane when its time for your drink order. Call quality has been awesome as well. Overall, these headphones will not disappoint you if you get them.

Philips Norelco OneBlade Pro hybrid electric trimmer and shaver, QP6520/70 (14 length comb)

Perfect for the right amount of stubble
on October 19, 2017
Posted by: jago
from Sparks, NV
If you are looking for a good beard trimmer that can handle a variety of hair lengths, then look no further than the OneBlade Pro trimmer. Its very easy to use, battery will last a long time, you can use it in the shower or with shaving cream and the blades are supposed to last up to 4 months. The charger cable is also a standard Phillips/Norelco one that fits most of their current and previous shavers that you may already own. You will get a carrying case with this, charging cable, charging stand, and a trimmer attachment to adjust the custom length from 0.4 to 10 that uses a dial to dial in the exact length you are looking for. The trimmer also has a display for battery life remaining so you will always be ready and know how much battery is left. This is a great supplement to my phillips/norelco shaver that gives me a very close shave and with this I can get my stubble perfect. The price is very reasonable as well, you just can't go wrong with this. My only gripe with this is that your cut hair goes everywhere, so be ready to clean up a mess.

This Corsair Dark Core gaming mouse has a contoured shape and interchangeable textured side grips for a comfortable feel in hand.
Asking the people that bought this mouse, have they fixed the wireless connection issues ??? Any software updates to address the problem ??? Thank you in advance.....
I have been using it for a few days now, I did do a firmware update right away and I haven't noticed any connection issues yet. I have been using BT and 2.4GHz dongle.

Only at Best Buy Defend your home from intruders with this SimpliSafe security system. Its wireless design provides reliable, multilayer protection and avoids interruptions from cut phone lines and power outages, and it connects to an app for remote operation. This SimpliSafe security system is easy to install and customizable to homes of any size for flexible use.
Can more entry sensors or detectors be added to this unit afterwards? Or is the maximum amount four/one?
I am not sure if there is a max number of sensors, but you can add more if you need them. I am just not sure what the number is. But if you are planning on putting them on an area with many windows, they recommend getting a glass breakage sensor and motion sensor to cover those areas.

Will currently installed SimpliSafe sensors, etc. work with this new base unit, or will they all need to be replaced? Thank you.
I believe they need to be replaced with the new sensors. I saw that someone asked this very question on Facebook and simpisafe responded that the new unit only works with the new sensors.

only the tape walkman. j/k I think most devices can pair with this. You also get a 3.5mm cable and a 3.5mm jack on the headphones so yes, an old tape walkman will work.

Hello, I bought the my xps 2 days ago. I am really concern about the cooling system because it is way too warm. Compare to my friend MacBook Air, it's Much warmer. Does anybody feel the laptop too warm? Even when It is just on charge Or in light use...
mine gets a little warm, but not too hot. I think its pretty safe and i don't fear it getting too hot that it will burn itself out. However, I haven't had mine running super intensive processes for long periods of time.

Can I add additional ssd on this laptop? Is it expandable?
its a sealed device, and there is no place to install an additional SSD, but you can get a microSD and use that for storage as well. You can probably make windows think its another HD and use it as extended storage.
