Quality headsets!
on July 12, 2017
Posted by: Pads
I am a big fan of JBL speakers and the sound quality it delivers. From subwoofers to home theater speakers, I have no regrets. Earlier I reviewed the Under Arnour Wireless headphone with heart rate by JBL. The JBL Everest delivers the same crisp and smooth sound quality but unlike the UA headphone (5 hrs), this battery life last longer up to 8 hrs. The control buttons are flat which makes it harder to “feel”. Like any other brand out there, this comes with various ear pieces and then some. It has multiple buds and ear piece where you could mix and match. Another thing I like about the Jbl everest is that it feels lighter than my other wireless bluetooth headphones and its comfortable to wear. I highly recommend!

Versatile connectivity!
on June 22, 2017
Posted by: Pads
The opportunity presented to me to test out this sound bar. I have been a traditionalist with regard to setting up a home theater sound system (a receiver with left and right , front and rear, center and sub box speakers). First of all, the package came with the main unit with a power cord, a remote (with batteries), an optical cable, a holder cable, 2 holder foot and 2 bracket wall mount. The user manual came in handy since I have never owned or set up a sound bar before. Its design is similar to the other samsung sound bars with s small LED display inside the grill. The controls are accessible to its right end, using the remote or through an app. As I found out, you need the app to update the sound bar software while it connects via wifi. This sound bar is also part of the samsung multi room system, meaning it connects to other wireless speakers and pairs them together. The sound bar offers a variety of connectivity options (wifi, bluetooth, aux, HDMI, Digital in). Without downloading the app, you can pair this to your tablet or phone by bluetooth (like how you connect with a wireless head phone or portable speaker). In that case, you can stream music through any service on your phone. This “all in one" speaker system delivers a deep base without the sub woofer and very good sound quality in one box. Other notable features are the 4K pass though, built in center speaker (that sounds clear and natural), and samsung compatibility (for recent tvs). If you are looking for a great surround sound with only limited area space for set up, I recommend this sound bar. But if you are looking for a much more cinematic experience, maybe wait until they pair this with a wireless sub woofer to give it more ump on the bass.

A good buy for me!
on June 22, 2017
Posted by: Pads
I got this for a gift for my dad on fathers day. Its been a while since I got a laptop, my first and only one was a compaq presario which weighed almost 10 lbs and was 2 1/4” thick (I’ve settled with desktops since then). This specter was an unbelievable 13.2 mm thin and about 2.5 lbs. I first saw this in a commercial and it peaked my interest when I saw a review saying it was the next surface killer. I’m not gonna compare the two but just tell you about this X2. It is switchable to a laptop or tablet mode (it gets hot if you place it bare on directly to your lap/ skin). The full sized detachable keyboard feels comfortably and snaps with ease. I was impressed with the kickstand - flexible yet sturdy up to a 165 degree angle. The package also comes with a Pen, as in the commercial you could draw, sketch or write. This pen uses a AAAA battery. And of course the display is touch screen. Other accessories included were a leather sleeve, usb C to A adapter and extra plug/socket. The tablet has 2 USB ports, micro SD slot, camera, mic, built in wifi and 30 day Mc afee virus software. The design is sleek, price tag was over $150 compared to similar Surface pro (technical specs). Battery life is as advertised. Probably less depending on settings etc.. I’ve owned HP products before and my work place uses HP laptops as well. I am sure this is a little bit extravagant in terms of features to as what my dad needs it for but overall this was a good purchase for me.

Good first speaker
on May 8, 2017
Posted by: Pads
from Warren, Mi
I was looking for an outdoor speaker with bluetooth capability. This was advertised as water, dirt, snow and drop proof. Luckily I have seen this in action. I did like the hook (carabiner) which saves me the trouble of attaching it to me (i.e. bike, hike or kayak). Im not sure about the whole water proof thing as I have yet to submerge this device, Claims to be 1meter (3.3 feet if you have trouble visualizing) submersible proof for 1/2 hr. Battery life was impressive. Played this all night and hold the charge well. Its very easily paired even if it didn’t come with those step by step guide sheet. It also has this lock feature - to avoid accidental button being pushed. I was a little disappointed with how loud it didn’t get. For an outdoor speaker it could have been louder.. All in all its a functional portable and personal wireless speaker.

Quality dryer!
on May 4, 2017
Posted by: Pads
from Warren, Mi
Planned on getting a dryer for a while now. I tend to be critical of items I purchase - I work hard for the money to buy them. This is something I was very pleased with and am glad to have taken a chance. The most important thing though is that it works as advertised. I have thin, fine and oily hair. I take showers daily and sometimes twice/ day (post gym, outdoor activities). There are 3 heat settings and 2 speed settings (very straight forward), There is also a cool shot button and comes with 3 attachments. I haven't tried the removable filter yet as I just got it. Easy and simple.

Verified Purchase:Yes
Bought this for my sister. Obviously you need to own a iPhone but this was the best purchase I made hands down. She doesn't use her Michael Korrs watch anymore as this does offer more functional capabilities (i.e. get calls from it, texts and listen to your music via blue tooth). I highly recommend this product. Only negative it states 48 - 72 hr battery life but gets her through the day then needs to be charged but literally only takes a hour to be back to 100%. Good luck to all who read and consider this. You won't be disappointed !!

feel the bass!
on March 24, 2017
Posted by: Pads
This is my first wireless speaker and I couldn't had picked a better one! Set up was easy and pairing with an iPhone was quick. I did however download and used the recommended app. The Song pal app controls some of the features of this wireless speaker. You can control the volume, extra bass (which I liked), power button and the illumination which gives it a little extra visual flare. I do plan on buying another one and it looks like I can add more speakers with this system. Sound quality well like the paper said, it wouldn't be a SONY if it didn't include high quality sound! Overall I give it a buy.

Above average!

Im an athletic person and I bike, run and workout. I've had a few wireless headphones and haven't been impressed until now. The packaging is really cool and it comes with a few goodies. I specially like to travel pouch. There are various sizes replacement buds to find the perfect fit. Came with a 12 month membership to map my run app. To get started you need to download the UA record app to take advantage of the Heart rate feature. The appearance of this product is very similar to my epic JLabs except for the clip that you can hook to keep it from falling (just in case). The only thing I didn't like was it takes a few tries to find the fit. Sound quality is awesome as long as you get it in right. When its on it stays relatively secure. Overall, I like this one. It's a good buy plus it is sharp, besides I like the UA apparel.

Simple set up
on January 10, 2017
Posted by: Pads
The Linksys Velop system is extremely easy to set up. If you are not sure what this system does and why you should get it, think of cell towers. Each node is a cell tower. The more you have, the wider the coverage. The difference between this and with range extenders is that these nodes act together. Meaning the quality of your signal doesn’t decrease. Technology ei? This does not replace your internet connection. You still need to subscribe to get internet to your local providers.
The units are white (not the traditional linksys blue and black) which gives you that apple look. It comes with an Ethernet cord and a preset Wi-Fi network (limited paper guide). It literally took me 35 min from unboxing to finish. Download the app and follow the directions. It could take you longer if you didn’t have a Linksys account (which I do). The process took longer as the app stopped and had to re-start. I got side tracked as the app logged me in to the other Linksys router. Setting up additional nodes was fast. The box stated up to 6000 sq feet (2000 ft each node) of full speed coverage, Tri band and 3 year warranty as well as 24/7 customer care.
If you are familiar with the layout of the dashboard, you can switch views of the linksys products easily. It is customizable so that you can change what you want to see, or not see, at a glance. Such in my case, I do not use the Guest Access, so therefore I do not need to see it. I also like how it summarizes the online devices, showing that I have a certain number of Local devices and how many of each are using which band of the Wi-Fi. If you click on the number you can see a network map, in which you can modify each device, such as name, parental controls, and reserve the DHCP address. From here you can also see the current internet usage of these devices so that you can see who is hogging your bandwidth.
As far as speed, I have not had any issues with it. However, I have noticed when logged into the device at 5GHz that it responds quicker than my home router.

Give your room a relaxing feel with this Philips Hue ambience lamp. It connects with most wireless devices, providing you control from anywhere, and you can program the lamp in advance. This Philips Hue ambience lamp can mimic sunlight or cool day light, letting you pick what fits the mood.
 

Can this lamp use a higher wattage bulb

I have not tired this with a higher wattage bulb. The bulb included is at 800 lumens. I think this lamp is build specifically for a certain wattage as the cone is small and enclosure is closed tight. Anything brighter will make it the cone hotter and maybe unsafe (specially to kids).

Can this lamp use a higher wattage bulb

I have not used it with any other bulbs other than the HUE brand by Philips. But it is a table lamp with a 800 lumen bulb. How bright do you want a small table lamp to be? In any case I think this lamp is built for the HUE bulbs as it does have a closed enclosure (so anything brighter would make the cone hotter!).

Regardless of the fact that it has one built in, will this wirelessly pair with a Samsung wireless subwoofer?

This is compatible with the multiroom app. This sound bar version does not have a subwoofer pair YET unlike the past other samsung bar/sub woofer combo. If I was to guess, try downloading the samsung multiroom app and see if it works with your subwoofer.
