Light Weight, Great Sound & Easy to Use

These buds are a steal at this price point. Very nice quality and all the function needed for music listening. The charging case is compact and the earbuds slide in for charging with ease due to a perfect amount of magnetic assist. Charge time is about 2 hours and the case also provides an additional charge option.
I like the simplicity of these buds such that you can handle music play with normal volume up/down and pause and fast forward without too many optional commands that you seldom use anyway. I noticed you will need to pick up the rhythm of taps else you will stop playback when you try to increase/decrease the volume. No worries though as after only a few tries you will pick up the right tap process. These buds are very light and fit with very comfortably in your ear – even over several hours. These type of buds are designed to fit optimally by moving the earbud forward or back till it finds the best position in your ear. Contrary to what one may think, although these are solid without gel type padding; in reality they are much more comfortable than the padded types I have used.
The earbuds have Bluetooth 5.1 and paired instantly with my cell phone and also my laptop.
It is important for earbuds to have water resistance and these are fine since they have IPX4 resistance to sweat and rain.

Sound is excellent and is accomplished via neodymium magnet drivers. These drivers weigh less and still maintain very good bass and tone quality. JVC engineers made a good choice using them for this product, tip of my cap to them. I do recommend these earbuds: very nice style, weight and sound reproduction.

Innovative Brush Design, High Quality Product
on May 2, 2022
Posted by: RalphHenry
from New Smyrna Beach, FL
The Burst Sonic Toothbrush clicked all the boxes for me. It is very high quality and does a great job cleaning my teeth. This rechargeable tooth brush not only cleans your teeth but also has a special brush-head that really massages your gums much better than any product I have used before.
You do need to read the manual as it does explain the three brushing modes and how to select the modes. The device does have a pause every 30 seconds that you will sense, and this is a reminder to move the brush to another quadrant of your teeth. It just takes 2 minutes to do a great cleaning of your teeth. Yes, you should use toothpaste with this brush.
A good idea is to ensure you use new brush heads about every 3 months or even more frequently. I like electronic toothbrushes and I know it is important to make sure you have strong new bristles. You can join a program that will send you a brush every 3 months, but the brush-heads are available from many stores. I noticed that if you enroll in the manufacturer’s brush replacement program, you get a lifetime warranty for the device, otherwise you just register the device for a 1 year warranty. A very nice instruction booklet is included with this toothbrush.
These brush-heads have a small ‘x’ shaped rubber nub that is great for massaging your gums and even for cleaning between teeth – I had not seen this feature before – tip of the cap to the engineers who developed this feature. When done brushing, your mouth does feel very refreshed and clean.
I also liked the handle which is unique in that it has diamond shaped impressions on the handle which does help to control the device. I highly recommend this innovative and very effective product.

Evens Up Even Curly Beards
on May 2, 2022
Posted by: RalphHenry
from New Smyrna Beach, FL
Age:65+
Gender:Male
Very nicely and intuitively designed trimmer. Being able to use cordless is an important feature. Cleaning is simple, just run the blade end under water. There are 58 length settings utilizing 3 adapters, so you are sure to find the right trim for your beard, hair or mustache. Actually after a few times I had figured the adapter and settings to ensure my beard is handled the way I want, with a different setting for mustache and another different setting for soul patch. Great versatility. It also has a nice LED charging indicator and includes a very well written/complete manual.
Quality is superb. The unit is solid and the design of the mechanism to control depth is very ingenious – tip of the cap to the engineers at Panasonic. Some key guidance from the manual is to apply oil before and after each use. Also remove the blade and let it dry separately. They do include a small cleaning brush and it was simple to keep the unit clean and well maintained – very convenient.
I have used several other brands and found this device to be the most effective and quickest to get my beard in shape. More to the point my beard is a little curly so some brands don’t make it as even as I want. But this shaver really evens out the whiskers – great. I would highly recommend this versatile, quality and effective trimmer.

Very Nice Crisp Graphics
on April 29, 2022
Posted by: RalphHenry
from New Smyrna Beach, FL
Setup for this monitor required some tweaking of the default settings to increase brightness and contrast to allow the games to show on screen better. I liked the 27 inch size over my current 23 inch monitor. It gave me more real estate but was not too large for my desk space; and this made the games much more exciting I felt.
The display was bright but not brilliant to my eye, could have been a little more vibrant colors. However my sample of games certainly could play a part in this impression, as well as the graphics processor. The price performance is certainly a factor as this level of quality and specifications hit a nice sweet spot – it does have Nvidia G-sync, very nice.
I did play several games including Forza Motorsports, War Thunder from my Gaijin account, and some flight simulators and Farmville type games. The adjustments for this monitor are intuitive so that’s a tip of the cap to the ASUS engineers. I felt the color changes maintained crisp images at all times which for me is most important. This is also an IPS ultra wide angle monitor - another spec I look for. It has stereo speakers but not a lot of volume from these speakers, but very nice to have if you don’t attach external speakers of course.
I ended up loving this monitor after some adjustments and would highly recommend it.

Excellent Mid-Level Gaming Machine
on April 29, 2022
Posted by: RalphHenry
from New Smyrna Beach, FL
I was very impressed with this mid-end gaming machine. Partly due to the lower price point which many folks do need, notwithstanding some compromising of specifications. There is ample capability for those wishing to upgrade memory, storage and even CPU and GPU. However I think ASUS hit the mark with those of us gamers who are quite willing to save the bucks for a unit that nonetheless performs very well on many types of games; and we can upgrade over time if we need to.
I recommend replacing the side panel with the included clear plexiglass panel. If you are new to these upgrades note there are 8 screws included. Use the 4 which go on first to provide a bushing and thread socket for the other 4 screws. Easy enough. The acrylic panel stands away from the desktop since it does not have holes for ventilation like the base side panel. I calculate the acrylic panel actually provides more airflow than the perforated side panel. There is a great light show in many colors that is defaulted inside the cabinet; but you can change the light show if you wish. I loved it.
The fan cooling is sufficient for the Intel i5 processor. If you wish to install faster processors with more threads, then I would suggest upgrading the fan as well. There are two fans, one for the processor and another comes on as needed to expel heated air quickly through the back of the tower.
An HDMI cable and a Display Port cable are both included. I tried both and they work almost identical in this configuration. I noted that I had to use the ports on the graphics card, the ones at the top of the back panel were inactive – not a problem.
The keyboard and mouse are very basic, however I like this design point of spending less on the included keyboard/mouse to keep the price lower since I like many folks will already have lighted gaming mechanical keyboards and gaming mice. ASUS I think again hit the right marketing tradeoff.
I tried a sample of various games including Forza Motorsports, War Thunder from my Gaijin account, and a bunch of fun games like flight simulators. Everything worked well and the graphics and speed were great. Sound was super great through my USB attached ‘shoulder speakers’ loved the sounds.
The important specs are 11th geni5-11400F, Nvidia GeFGorce GTX 1660Ti and 16 GB memory. The processor is a six core and twelve thread design – nice and power enough for mid-level gaming. My plan is to double the memory and have fun with more high powered games. There is a 512 GB SSD.
I am very pleased with this ASUS Gaming Computer and would highly recommend it for those operating in this price point who want a solid performer.

Very Smooth Operation and High Quality
on April 28, 2022
Posted by: RalphHenry
from New Smyrna Beach, FL
The R10 lock is very well designed and works smoothly. One point to make clear is that you must open the door more than 45 degrees during the calibration process, or the calibration might fail. I saw another review that said the calibration failed then suddenly worked. I suspect that reviewer opened more than 45 degrees when he saw it suddenly work.
The lock is easy to install, you most likely will want to use the adhesive strip on the main unit (inside portion) so that it is tightly installed. The keypad works perfectly. The app has an excellent user interface. You will need to identify the type of lock pin you have and use the correct adapter of which several adapters are included. The instructions are well done.
This device uses part of your original lock including the bolt and outside key slot. This is genius since now you don't need a different key for unlocking manually. Another important design point is having both Bluetooth and WiFi so that this lock can be operated from anywhere; not just right up next to the device – very nice for a lock in this very reasonable price range.
I did call support for help and the phone was answered within a minute and the customer support rep was excellent. Also eufy support sent me emails to assist installation, always with short turnaround time. Since I managed Help Desks at one time, I recognized an efficient operation with well trained technicians who were smart, courteous and patient.
This lock is designed well with the latest technology and also attractively designed. Tip of the cap to the engineering that went into this lock. I would definitely recommend this company and this very smart lock.

Innovative and Great Audio

Oh yes, these are super comfortable. No heating up of my ears like headphones and not any discomfort from earbuds because they go right on your shoulders. The unit is light and actually provides added sense in that you can feel the vibration as well as hear the sound.
If you are looking to create an environment where you isolate the sound to just yourself, of course, this is not the correct unit. But if you have the freedom to use these phones where you can relax and let the sound surround you, then this is a very unique and wonderful way to listen to music or gaming. The real boom comes from gaming though. When gaming you really feel the zaps and booms and crashes. Very realistic step up for gaming I thought.
There are two mic’s, noise cancellation and echo cancellation. The 4 channel sound is aimed at your head for lack of a better description – tip of the cap to the design engineers for that as it is fantastic. You can mute the sound and the mic naturally. You can hear outside sounds but I didn’t find a nearby TV a distraction because you are focused on the game or your own music.
There are six sound modes (a button will cycle through them). Including 3 game modes for role playing, shooter and voice enhancement. But don’t sell short the music modes of normal and cinema. Very nice sound programming, another tip of the cap to the engineers. This unit is amazing.
The unit itself is rugged, solid and stylish but the most important aspects are the functional ones I mentioned. I do highly recommend this product.

Easy 5-Star for Quality and Comfort
on February 11, 2022
Posted by: RalphHenry
from New Smyrna Beach, FL
The Serta Sheep Retreat (medium 10”) is very comfortable. I used it on a platform bed base. It is made of gel memory foam which does prevent the over-heating that memory foam mattresses used to have – this is the most important point of these types of mattresses. So that is very good. The gel foam is so much better than the old memory foam that I would be very careful to ensure your mattress is like this one and has the gel beads in the memory foam.
This mattress has the medium softness that I prefer; and I would avoid a very soft foam mattress since a very soft mattress may compress too much and cause some over-heating at night with or without the gel bead composition. My opinion is that you want medium or firm gel memory foam. One last point on softness/firmness - over time you may feel a mattress is too soft or too firm. With a 10 inch mattress you are able to add a 2-inch mattress topper with more or less firmness. If you have a 12 inch mattress then it is a bit more difficult to add a topper since you may be making the mattress too high too sit on the edge. So that’s another reason I think 10” is a good depth to use. But that’s only my personal experience.
The delivery in a box is great. But I would recommend a small hand truck to move it around in the box as it is a bit heavy for one person to move.
The materials are top-notch on this mattress. You will need to let the mattress decompress once you get it out of the bag and into the fresh air. It won’t reach the full 10 inch depth till about a full week out of the plastic bag that it is vacuum sealed in. This is a three-core mattress that provides better support and comfort so you do need to let each layer fluff up. I noticed that the top edge of the mattress was at first a little S-shaped, but after 10 days it straightened out. The mattress is rolled up when it comes out of the box so that may cause various temporary distortions.
I do recommend this mattress very highly. It ticked all the boxes for me and I just love it over my old mattress.

Just Right Size and Excellent Design
on January 26, 2022
Posted by: RalphHenry
from New Smyrna Beach, FL
The Lucid Hearing Bluetooth HearMuffs work effectively. But a very important question is if an infant or toddler would rip them right off one way or another. However, if you put them in use frequently but not for long sessions at first, the toddlers seem to get used to them. The best uses were for situations with loud woodworking machinery, loud music and lullaby time.
Outside sound is muffled as I did some testing on my own head one ear at a time. The option to connect Bluetooth is genius. Here you can pick the type of music the toddler or infant will hear. Obvious is lullabies and that proved to be a good sleep inducer as you might think. I did take the headphones off after infant went to sleep.
I also felt the unit was rugged, it is not a toy. The headset doesn’t have any loose parts that could get swallowed, very nice safe design. The headset has quite a bit of size adjustment.
I did find on the set I have that the extension of the headband took quite a bit of force to pull it out. This may be as designed so that once set, the toddler can’t readjust them easily. I do feel this is not a problem but rather an excellent design point from the engineers – tip of the cap to them.
I do recommend this headset.

Great Design and Customizable
on January 19, 2022
Posted by: RalphHenry
from New Smyrna Beach, FL
The Corsair M65 RGB Ultra Wired gaming mouse is top notch. It has smooth switches and the included weights add a really nice and simple way to personalize the mouse to just the right feel for a particular user.
I have used many difference mice and this one has the smoothest scroll bar that never seems to cause me any problems. This is an area where many mice fall short but this unit is excellent.
This mouse of course is great for gaming and you can adjust the DPI via two buttons on top of the mouse or you can use the iCUE app. I did also use the app to update the firmware. Be aware that you are instructed to connect the mouse directly to your PC and not via a dock or USB hub when you update firmware.
I did try the mouse with and without the weights and for me the weights added an ability to ‘feel’ the mouse more when sliding or lifting; but this will be a subjective point of view. Good news here is that you have the option to add or remove weights.
This mouse has a Target button on the left side which reduces your sensitivity to a lower level for more precise mouse movements when needed. The iCUE app will allow you to program the buttons on your mouse. The app will also give you some neat lighting options to have fun with.
This excellent mouse is built rock solid, has a great feel in your hand, very crisp switches and with the iCUE app has plenty of versatility. I highly recommend this jewel of a mouse.

After setup was complete, the computer suffered many glitches, both in hardware and software. E.g. the computer kept disconnecting from my Wi-Fi and I had to go in and retype the password. Computer locked up several times and I had to unplug it to shut it down so I could reboot it. Much of my software apps displays were incredibly small and I could find no way to change them. These were just a few of the most glaring examples.

You Can Change Size of Objects & Text

The ultra HD display can be adjusted. Go to Settings, System (Display is in there), Advanced Display Settings and change the resolution to 1920x1080. Then continue on to Advanced Sizing of Text and Other Items; now click on 'Set a custom scaling level' (blue text) and select 110%. Now everything will be correct. Most apps don't work well with the Ultra HD yet. But your machine will be powerful as new Apps come out. Once the machine updates to latest Windows 10, you will find it great.

Worked great in the beginning but had trouble keeping battery power and is dead now and will not recharge. Also not easy to clip on. The band included to wear on your wrist is 4" thick at least and not practical. It would have been better to purchase on of the wrist versions versus the one. I hope Best Buy will allow me to exchange due to the default.

You do realize the wide band is ideal for sleep monitoring as it is very comfortable on the wrist all night. It is not a watch band. Also various suppliers make a band that the Fitbit One can snap into and then it can be worn as a watch. SO if you like the Fitbit otherwise, just get the watch band for it.

Syncing Fitbit One
January 22, 2016
I noticed trouble syncing and it seemed if you have the application open and the Fitbit is connected to your PC, then it won't sync with your phone and vice versa. Not sure if that is an error or the design. Once application closed on PC now the phone sync'd in a couple seconds. So maybe this is what some people are seeing?

This AIO has superior resolution to others. Some reviews spoke about a text problem, however you can improve the text via going to settings, display, advanced and 'cleartype text' and follow the steps. Also has 3D display capability which is good for future needs for me. Sound is nice with Jensen speakers. Touch screen is great. WIFI is super and has both 2.4 and 5 GHz ranges with Wireless AC. Very quiet fan. Lenovo support has regressed but is do-able I asked a simple question and the tech had no idea, also the website seems broken in the support area; glad I got Geek Squad. But this AIO is one great machine. price is very reasonable for what you get. Love it.

Intel Has Fix for Display Errors
March 7, 2016
Here's good news after I called and got an update from Lenovo support. The problem of getting errors such as "Display driver has stopped responding and has recovered..." seems to be fixed. But the Lenovo support site does not have the driver version to install since it is still in 'maintenance' or Beta test. However you can get the driver from Intel for their 530 graphics hardware at https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/25620/Intel-Graphics-Driver-for-Windows-7-8-1-10-15-40-6th-Gen-?v=t
The driver version is 20.19.15.4352 (you're probably using 4300). Now if you download the driver and run the driver install as you normally do under Windows it will say either you are already at the most current driver level or that your manufacturer has not ok'd the use of this level. But the Lenovo tech helped me install it. Basically you need to go to Device manager, select the Intel HiDef Graphics 530, and click to update the driver. Select to install from your computer and say you have a disk and then select the folder where you unzipped the new 4352 driver stuff. Now it will install this driver. I have not seen the display driver error message any more so it appears that this driver fixes things. I had tried all kinds of combinations of settings for the NVDIA driver (there are two display drivers) in conjunction with the Intel driver thinking that the interaction caused the problems. But hopefully this driver level will work. Call Lenovo if you don't want to try to install it yourself.

3 out of 5Good but some issues
By Mike944
The 4K screen is what sold me. However, it has a lot of glare and not as stunning as you would think for it being 4k display. Also, the video card seems to crash and recover randomly. The system stays on and it recovers well on its own, but it seems to do this regularly nonetheless. Also the keyboard is a very flat, chiclet laptop style keyboard with next to no key travel, resulting in a lot of typing errors. I do not care for this type of keyboard. Otherwise, the performance is pretty snappy with no lag and Windows 10 is a huge improvement over 8.

Graphics Card Problem Fixed
March 19, 2016
I had the same problem with video card crash and recover. Finally a fix is available I have it installed for 2 weeks and not a single error. You have to download a driver from Intel for 530, it is level 20.19.15.4352 You cannot get it from the Lenovo support site because it is a Beta driver. I stumbled into it because I called IBM support and happened to get a tech who knew about it. Go here to find the driver https://downloadcenter.intel.com/product/88345/Intel-HD-Graphics-530-for-6th-Generation-Intel-Core-Processors Now you need to update the driver but the normal procedure ( go to driver tab in Device Manager...) will result in a message saying you can't install this driver... But if you go to the Device Manager and then right click the device then click on 'update driver software', then flow through browsing on your computer and say 'have disk'... and point where you unzipped the file; it will install it. If you can't weave through the steps just call Lenovo and the tech will show you or Best Buy Geek will show you. I've tested it and it works fine, great not to see those video crash and recovered errors.

1 out of 5Good Computer BUT
By BBPurchaser071
After purchasing, the specs on the graphics card is GTX 950A, NOT A 950.Looking up the specs of the 950A, here is what is on NVIDA site: We recommend the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 950A for gaming with highest details at resolutions up to, and including, 1280x720. Why would they put in a graphics card in a 4K monitor that can only support great quality up to 1280X720. Taking it back to store.

This PC has Two Graphics Cards
June 5, 2016
You make a good point. This PC has two graphics cards and the other is the Intel HD 530 but I see it recommends only up to 1366x768. I know the display is supposed to handle 3840x2160 and you can select this setting and it works fine. I'm wondering if the limits on each card are overcome because you have both graphics cards? Maybe the manufacturers just undershoot the real capability? Anyway my Lenovo AIO 700 works great and I love it. For the money it is the best deal. I do know that you have to install a new driver for the HD 530, make sure you have 20.19.15.4352 (this is a Beta driver you can get from Intel) If you don't get it, you will get frequent from the HD 530.

1 out of 5Worst Computer Ever
By Disappointed
This computer is very aesthetically pleasing and has great specs. The 4k screen is very nice and the accessories work great.
However...
1.
This computer constantly is crashing citing a graphics card error. Simply browsing the internet or typing a Word document and the screen will constantly be crashing.
2.
The computer will not let me install updates and programs are constantly freezing and crashing. The only programs I have installed are Kaspersky protection suite and Microsoft Office suite.
**One day I turned on my computer and attempted to create a Word document only to find that the computer had deleted the entire office suite! There is no trace it ever existed.
3.
Simple tasks such as opening a program take a ridiculous amount of time. For a solid state hard drive, opening Windows Explorer takes on average 5 MINUTES!!! I have nothing saved on this computer!

I took my computer into Best Buy and paid $150 and they said that they could not find any problem. I will be returning this computer.

Display Error Problem Fixed
August 12, 2016
I once worked at Lenovo & IBM and know a little about display drivers. The problem here is Lenovo's support site recommends the wrong driver level for the Intel 530 Display Driver. All you need to do to automatically fix this is use the Intel Driver Update Utility. Download it and it will show a list of recommend driver updates. For starters just choose the display driver update. At this time it will install level 20.19.15.4463 -> all your problems will go away. You can also let it install any other drivers it may find are down level. It is great. Here is the link to download the utility: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/24345/Intel-Driver-Update-Utility By the way, for this computer to allow stuff I use like Windows Live to look better, I change the screen resolution to 1920x1080 and set the text scaling level to 110%. At the price, this is a super wonderful computer but need to make the changes I suggest.

This is a steal especially at the sale price. Beautiful touchscreen display, quad core processor albeit not the fastest but 4 cores and made by Intel so not power hungry. Dual Band AC WiFi which is important. Also very solid build, great keyboard. Only thing that slowed it down was 5400 rpm 500GB HDD. Some reviews said slow and it was a bit, but pop in an SSD and it flies super fast. You can use a free program like EASEUS to clone the HDD exactly to the SSD, including the recovery partition etc. Now you keep the old HDD as your instant backup image if needed. 4GB memory appears to be enough. Great function as tablet or tent or normal PC. Very portable which was one of my needs. If you want to step up, get HP's 13.3 inch same as this just bigger, 6GB memory but same tired old 5400 rpm drive problem but you can fix that with an SSD; and this more expensive one has a 6th gen core i3. I couldn't afford the bigger one, but I also liked the smaller 11.6 display anyway. Both have IPS display technology - great.

SSD Can be Swapped in Here's How
August 13, 2016
I did see the instructions you refer to and they are for an x360 Notebook. It is confusing, as this PC is an x360 2in1. HP does take you to the wrong place. But I looked further and HP does provide a Hardware Maintenance Manual for the x360 2/1. It shows you exactly how to get inside and replace anything from the battery to memory to the HDD. I will paste in the link to the manual and it shows you each step. But I'll give you an overview. You do have to be careful but it is not too difficult. First before removing anything I used a free program called EASEUS Backup which cloned the 500 GB HDD to a 500 GB SSD (it makes it identical including the recovery partition). You do need a USB cable to attach the SSD to a USB port on this PC to make the clone. Then basically you remove 12 screws on the bottom and flip it face up and gently pry the keyboard up first at the hinge end. Don't pull the keyboard off all the way as you have to remove two flat cables from their ZIF connectors. ZIF connectors are easy to release but you do have to notice which side of the connector that you flip up. It is easier if someone holds the keyboard up slightly while you release the ZIF's. I was able to do it myself. Once the keyboard is off, you remove 2 screws from the HDD (it says 4 but I only saw 2 screws) and also another ZIF cable to release the HDD from the board. You will have to take the bracket and the cable plug off the hard drive and put them on the SSD. Then reverse the process. I did read that things like memory are not accessible but the HMM also shows you how to remove a shield a small board and boom there is the single 4GB memory card. You can put in an 8GB memory card but I didn't since the SSD gives you tremendous speed improvement that the memory upgrade will only give you slight improvement. Now the link to the 90 page Maintenance & Service Guide (I also saved it to my desktop): http://support.hp.com/us-en/search?q=HP%20Pavilion%20x360%20m1-u001dx%20maintenance%20and%20service%20guide&filter=&product=11084072&pname=HP%20Pavilion%20x360%20m1-u001dx%20(ENERGY%20STAR) If you are concerned, BBuy should be able to do it for you with your cloned SSD for a small fee. There are lots of videos of people doing this level of stuff on the smaller 2/1 laptops, tablets and cell phones that seemingly are not accessible.. I did watch one on ZIF connectors.
