I have been looking at these for awhile, but with all of the choices available I wasn't sure where to start. I ended up deciding to give this Samson mic a try because it seemed to have a lot of the same features as more expensive studio mics with the ability to work with a multitude of devices, and travel easily.
So what's the verdict? It's great! The build quality, and functionality of the mic are excellent for the price. You can use it freestanding, with its built in stand, or attach it to a boom. Most importantly the setup is simple (on my windows 10 computer I literally plugged it in and that's it), and the sound quality of the recording is AMAZING.
This unit comes as advertised. Lots of options, easy to use, and it comes at a very reasonable price. The kids have already expressed an interest at using it to help out in their Youtube videos. I can't wait to see all of the creative ways this allows us to express ourselves.
Overall this is highly recommended.

I have to say that I am pleasantly surprised with these headphones. I have used some Corsair products before, and many many similar headsets. These achieve the most important thing I look for in a new headset. A great balance of quality, and price.
The headset is comfortable. It fits my big head well, and the kids can wear it as well no problem. The sound is crisp, and they get pretty loud without distortion.
The detachable mic is a good feature I pretty much need this in a headset nowadays.
These were tested on pc. Setup was extremely simple. I am very pleased with these.
Overall if you are like me, and don't need the best of the best but instead want something that will hold up to daily use by the whole family, something that has good sound, and won't break the bank look no further.

So this is my first experience with a true mechanical keyboard. I felt like I could trust the Alienware name and the price seemed fair for everything it offers. In my opinion it was worth a shot. How did it work out? I LOVE it!
The quality is excellent. The tactile feedback is excellent. It just feels perfect for gaming. I really never knew what I was missing!
The RGB backlighting is stunning. Very beautiful. The Alienware software gets the job done, but it is my understanding that it is not a robust as some of the competition. Definitely good enough for me. USB passthrough is a much appreciated add on, and works well.
Overall I am extremely impressed with this keyboard. I highly recommend it to anyone in the market for a super responsive low profile mechanical keyboard. I just wish I tried one out sooner!

This high-quality ink tank printer delivers up to 2 years of ink in bottles included in the box.³ Get faster connections with dual-band Wi-Fi¹, and easy mobile printing with HP Smart app.²

The HP Smart Tank 551 Wireless All in One Printer is a fantastic improvement over the ink cartridge printers of yesterday. It claims up to two years of ink included in the box, and based off of my experience I will personally get at least that much. Probably more.
Before I get too far let's start at the beginning. Packaging is secure, and the build quality of the unit itself if very good. It's footprint is small considering everything it can do. With all of the options for ink tank printers these are good reasons to go with the HP.
Setup is very easy. Testing out the functionality I was quickly printing, copying, and scanning without problems. I have printed from my computer, tablet, and phone with ease. The HP Smartapp is a great phone companion to the printer, and works well.
Print quality is FANTASTIC.
With all of the functionality coming in such a compact all in one I wholeheartedly recommend the HP Smart Tank 551 Wireless All in One Printer. It's a lot of bang for the buck.

Learn to fight like a Jedi with this Star Wars Lightsaber Academy interactive battle lightsaber. The included app provides lessons and training missions to complete, and the Bluetooth-enabled Smart-Hilt tracks the accuracy of your moves. This Star Wars Lightsaber Academy interactive battle lightsaber produces authentic lights and sounds that make kids feel like a real Jedi.

Okay so I picked this up as a gift for the kids, and I may end up keeping it myself :D As a child (a long time ago in a galaxy far away) I could have never imagined having my own lightsaber. This one certainly looks the part, and the sound effects and colors are great!
You can also use the Lightsaber Academy Interactive Battling System app as well. This is designed to let you learn moves from different masters, practice, and eventually "battle" in the app or with your friends in real life *more lightsabers required so I haven't tested this functionality* The technology in the lightsaber can actually track your moves for accuracy, and overall the app is fun, and works well.
In the end though most of the time we play with this lightsaber without the app, and it works very well on its own. You have different colors, sounds, and voices. It's also great at stimulating the imagination. I may have to keep this one for myself!
This will be a great hit for the kids and Star Wars fans alike this holiday season.

Enjoy an immersive audio experience while gaming with this carbon CORSAIR VOID RGB ELITE wireless headset. The custom-tuned 50mm high-density neodymium drivers offer crisp, powerful sound, while the breathable microfiber mesh and soft memory foam earpads add comfort to all-day gaming. This CORSAIR VOID RGB ELITE wireless headset has an omnidirectional microphone for clear communication, and the on-ear controls help you adjust sound settings easily.

The CORSAIR VOID RGB ELITE Wireless Gaming Headset follows in line with many of Corsair's other products. It is reasonably priced, stylish, and it just works. In this case of this VOID headset it works well indeed.
I have had many gaming headsets, and dedicated headphones over the years, and for the most part they all provide a pretty good sound experience. For me a good headset needs more these days. Ease of use, versatility, and most importantly COMFORT. The VOID RGB excels in all of these areas.
I also have the K57 RGB wireless gaming keyboard, and I was able to use my existing Corsair iCue software to manage the headphones. It is extremely simple and meets my criteria of ease of use.
The headset itself is most importantly very comfortable. This is no easy task as I have a huge head. The ear pads are made of memory foam, and I can actually see myself wearing them as long as I need to without strain or discomfort.
Sound is fantastic. I am not an audiophile by any means, but I am more than happy with the 7.1 experience that these provide. Game sound is directional, and crisp. I am told the mic also provides crystal clear sound, and I love the ability to mute it through a button on the ear cup or by simply flipping it up.
I did a real quick test on the PS4 and it worked as expected. I will be using it for both going forward.
For the price there is a whole lot to like here. Based on my recent experiences it seems like that is what Corsair is all about. Give it a shot if you want a versatile, comfortable, and great sounding headset at a very very good price.

I am very impressed with the Corsair K57 RGB wireless gaming keyboard. It has a full suite of features, and manages to hit a VERY reasonable price point.
When I got started with the Corsair K57 I wasn't sure what to expect. I've never used a dedicated gaming keyboard before. Mechanical keyboards have never really appealed to me, but the K57 still offers the plethora of other features that pc gamers want. The Corsair iCue program offers an easy to use solution to control RGB illumination for each key as well as setting your macro keys, and more.
I have been using it wireless as I like the convenience, but the K57 offers multiple options for connectivity including their Slipstream wireless technology, bluetooth, or wired via USB.
The keyboard is comfortable, and well made. The key travel is perfect for me although I know many gamers prefer a more mechanical feel. Size is good. I love have a dedicated 10 key pad. It also features media controls!
Overall I think the Corsair K57 RGB wireless gaming keyboard punches WAY above it's price point. There is so much here to like. I fully recommend it, and look forward to using it for a long time.

Make your photos look amazing with Adobe Photoshop Elements 2020.

I have used some Photoshop in the past. It's feature set, and capabilities were undeniable, but honestly it was also intimidating. I had considered taking a class to help get a grip on some of the more advanced editing features, but ultimately gave up instead because it was more of an investment of my time than I was willing to make.
Along comes Photoshop Elements with exactly what I needed. Still a full featured editing suite, but it has an easy to use interface and many automated features to help me get the results I am looking for without taking any classes.
In fact it is as easy as choosing one of three tabs...the quick tab gives you the choice of automatically enhancing your images with the most popular options people frequently use. It's as easy as can be. The guided tab gives you more control over your image enhancement, and gives more explanation as to what the features do. This is perfect for me, and exactly what I always wanted out of a Photoshop experience. Finally the Expert tab leaves everything to you and expands the toolset to encompass the full breadth of what Elements has to offer.
Color corrections, skin smoothing, object removal, and much more are now easy to accomplish with Photoshop Elements 2020. This version of the program is not nearly as limited as I feared it might be. In fact it is very fully featured.
This version of Photoshop is the best I have ever used. Most importantly it is EASY. Easy to use with room to learn, and grow. If you enjoy taking pictures you owe it to yourself to have a program like this, and Photoshop is as good as it gets. With the ease of use, and more importantly the great price give Photoshop Elements a shot. If you are anything like me you will be very glad you did!

Philips SmartSleep Snoring Relief Band: Reduce snoring and improve the quality of your sleep with this Philips SmartSleep snoring relief band. The integrated sensor detects whenever you are sleeping on your back and lightly vibrates to spur you to turn to the side and stop snoring. This Philips SmartSleep snoring relief band incorporates smart features that adjust vibration levels and patterns based on your responses during sleep.

So....I snore. I didn't know about it until my wife started jabbing me in the side every night. To try and get us both a better night sleep I have tried many products to help me out with this. The thing is...none of them have worked.
When I saw the Philips - SmartSleep Snoring Relief Band I wasn't sure what to think. The concept is simple enough. It is designed to help people who snore when they lay on their back. When the device detects that you have rolled onto your back it sends you gentle vibrations to prompt you to roll on your side. Like I said simple enough. I was worried that it would be annoying, and lead to interrupted sleep. In practice it is not that disruptive, and has helped me to stay on my side.
The downsides are few. You have to sleep with something strapped to you, and you have to keep it charged.
If you can make this small commitment it will help provide both you and your partner with a better more sound night of sleep.
Overall I am glad I tried out the Philips - SmartSleep Snoring Relief Band. Thanks Philips!

Own your space with Logitech Pebble M350 – a modern, slim, and silent portable mouse designed for your curated lifestyle. Make a statement with a slim mouse that can easily be scooped up and brought to the cafe or library. Silent clicking and scrolling means you can stay focused without disturbing those around you. And the Logitech Pebble stays powered for up to 18-months on a single AA battery so you don’t have to worry about losing power.

I love Logitech products so when the need for an ultra portable mouse arose the m355 immediately caught my attention.
Small, thin, quiet, and lightweight the m355 fits well into my work backpack, and can go anywhere I do.
The quality is the usual Logitech fair - it's built well, and just works.
The ergonomics could be better, but are what you would expect from the pebble design. It is because of the design though that the m355 becomes ultra portable, and just convenient.
There are two options for connectivity: usb dongle or bluetooth. I am using the dongle and have had zero complaints.
Battery life is slated at 18 months. I obviously have not tested this for 18 months, but if it gets half of that I will be happy.
Overall I love the new Logitech M355 mouse. I would recommend something a little more ergonomic for full time use at home, but for work or on the go I don't think it can be beat.
