Amazing Sport Earbuds - Everything I Looked For
on June 24, 2020
Posted by: TechGuru
from Oklahoma City, OK, USA
My daughter first introduced me to the Skullcandy brand a few years back. However, the brand has really come in to their own, especially with these sport earbuds. They TRULY are for exercise, mind you.
My favorite feature is the ear hook, a piece of plastic that goes over the top of your ear to hold the buds in place. This is AMAZING! Almost every other earbuds falls out of my ear no matter what I'm doing...perhaps I have weird shaped ears, but the ear hook does the trick!
Second, these earbuds allow you to hear outside sounds. I rarely wear headphones or earbuds if I am running or biking, as I want to be aware of my surroundings.
The other element I LOVE about these earbuds is that they can quckcharge. It only takes about 10 minutes to get a 2 hour charge. This means I can start charging on the drive to the gym, if I have forgotten to charge them.
I highly recommend these ear buds!

Works Great

Full disclaimer: I used this with the Smartwash Complete Pet Carpet Cleaner, and have not used any other solutions with it. That said, this worked great, it dried quickly, and as long as you keep your pets off of the carpet while it dries (USE FANS TO DRY FASTER), it does a great job reducing odors and giving your house and carpets a clean, fresh smell and feeling.

Works Great

I have a German Shepherd, which I recently adopted. I was worried about keeping the house clean, and as odor-free as possible. This carpet cleaner couldn't be easier to use. Push forward to wash, pull back to dry.
It was a breeze to set up, and easy to clean after use. This has made owning a pet a lot less stressful!
One tip: clean with your pet outside, and let the carpet dry completely (using fans if you have them), before letting your pet back inside. This will greatly help reduce odors!

A Great Streaming Option
on February 25, 2020
Posted by: TechGuru
from Oklahoma City, OK, USA
I love this camera. It's easy to setup, but most importantly for me, it is light, and can connect to a tripod. These elements are important to me, as I need flexibility in my camera placement, so I use this with a "gorilla" tripod. The light weight of this camera makes this a perfect fit.

So Comfortable and Sleek
on February 14, 2020
Posted by: TechGuru
from Oklahoma City, OK, USA
I'm no professional gamer, but this is what I imagine they wear. While I don't have the best ears, I can say that these headphones sound amazing. I truly feel immersed in a way in which I have never experienced, even with a full room surround sound setup.
What's most important to me though, is comfort, these feel great, Considering the sound they produce, I;'d expect them to get uncomfortable after an hour or so, but they feel great, for as long as I feel like using them.
I also love the pull-out mic. It makes the design so sleek, and you never have to hunt for the mic since it isn't detachable.

Sounds Fantastic, I Wish the Grille Was Included
on February 2, 2020
Posted by: TechGuru
from Oklahoma City, OK, USA
These speakers sound great, as would be expected at this price point. However, I don't like the way they look without a black grille like most speakers have. They are available, but must be purchased separately.
OTher than that though, these are amazing speakers.

Great Microphone!
on December 24, 2019
Posted by: TechGuru
from Oklahoma City, OK, USA
The Yeti X is a convenient, high-quality mic for any use.
It is small and stands up on its own on your desk, so it can be easily used while working. It is also great for streaming or YouTube video creation.
The recording quality is great, and the included app let's you customize the mic's equalizer. A cool feature of this is that you can import and export mic profiles, so if you have multiple setting you use the mic in, you can switch profiles, but you can also share profiles, which can help take out a lot of the guess work when trying to record in a new environment.
The setup was quick and easy, and you can be recording in 5 minutes or less from opening the box, but if you get into customizing your settings, you could spend a lot of time tweaking the mic, due to its flexibility.
On a side note, it also has customization LEDs around the knob, but they don't add any functionality, and are purely cosmetic.It looks cool though.

Great Shaver
on December 1, 2019
Posted by: TechGuru
from Oklahoma City, OK, USA
The Phillips Shaver 3500 works great. I love that it can be used wet or dry. The included trimmer is great for straight lines, especially on your neck or your sideburns.
The battery lasts for 60 minutes. I took it for a 5-day work trip, and did not need to charge it.
The blades pivot in every direction, helping to ensure you get a good shave. This is a great upgrade from my old shaver!

Won't Work w/ Gaming Systems -Work Great Otherwise
on November 22, 2019
Posted by: TechGuru
from Oklahoma City, OK, USA
This device works great, if you need to stream content from a laptop or a smartphone/tablet, and I have had some good use out of it for meetings and planning sessions.
HOWEVER, I was also excited to connect my gaming systems up to this so I could easily switch between my TV and my projector, but sadly, it doesn't work for gaming consoles. PCs and smartphones.tablets only.

Great...If You Have Landline
on November 10, 2019
Posted by: TechGuru
from Oklahoma City, OK, USA
My parents are some of the only people I know who still have a landline. This Motorola Alexa phone is great for them. My Mom loves new technology, while my Dad is resistant to it. This phone was a great compromise. It gives my Mom some new technology to utilize, while my Dad doesn't feel overwhelmed using the phone as normal. They are both happy with the phone.
*Note that you need a landline for full utilization.

Cut The Cord with AirTV Player. Stream movies, TV, music and other content using a wide range of apps, including Netflix, SlingTV, Google Play and many more from the Google Play Store all with AirTV Player. AirTV’s streaming platform integrates local over-the-air (OTA) programming with your streaming services. The AirTV Adapter and an OTA antenna provide local channels like ABC, CBS, NBC and FOX, without a monthly cable bill.
I’m confused. How/ where does it get ota channels? Is there an antenna that comes with it? Similar to the digital antenna I use now for local channels? Or does it get the local ota channels and stream to device via the internet?
It actually has a coaxial cable plug-in so that you can use any OTA antenna with it.You should be able to use the digital antenna you mentioned in your question. That said, you can get a new, Smart 4k TV for around $300-$450, so I would go that route unless you are on an extremely tight budget. 4k, plus Roku is a much better option in my opinion. If nothing else, Roku isn't going anywhere.

Can this be used if the phone the main account is tied to is not at home? IE: Could my wife ask it to play music from Google Play if I'm not there? I'm not asking about family accounts but if this will remember my account if my phone isn't around?
Yes, Google Home will work regardless of if the primary account holder is around. Great question!
