The new top headset for 2015 / 2016
on September 29, 2015
Posted by: nrouns
from Binghamton, NY
Logitech delivered on everything we asked for in this headset. I previously was an owner of last years G930, which had connection issues sometimes but was still the best wireless PC headset within it's price range.
But they really outdid themselves here.
-Dual 7.1 Surround sound, sounds even better. Up to 39 Ohms passive, up from 32.
-Cloth noise canceling cushion instead of the less comfortable leather/plastic.
-Cross platform compatibility for Xbox one and PS4 (may need adapter, I need one for my xbox controller) and mobile devices. includes 3.5MM cable and RCA cable to connect to a tv.
-Sleek and way more comfortable design, and the buttons feel better laid out so you don't accidentally press them. Does color changing, which is cool but not something I was concerned about.
-Hidden panel that has a REMOVABLE BATTERY. so you can just replace the battery.

Lightweight & Low Cost + Best App
on June 26, 2015
Posted by: nrouns
from Binghamton, NY
In addition to the Jawbone Move... I have previously used a Misfit, Jawbone Up, and Fit bit over the past 3 years. This one is by far my favorite - once you buy the optional wrist bands.
The device itself uses a watch battery and does not need to be charged. It is also water resistant, which means it can be worn in the shower even (not for swimming though). You can leave it on constantly - there is no need to take it off except in 3 to 6 months when it needs a new battery.
I have tendinitis and Carpal tunnel in my wrists, and the other fitness trackers I tried irritated my wrists greatly. Especially the UP and Fit bit, they were heavier and needed to be tighter on the wrist to be accurate. I wont go into the wrist straps because that would need to be a separate review, but I will say they are comfortable and lightweight.
The application itself is amazing, by far the best I have used yet as an all around tool. I also keep track of my diet, and I do make sure to log my sleep.
When tracking steps simply wearing it gives you information on Percent to goal, active time, longest time active, longest time idle, total burn, active burn, and resting burn.
When logging an exercise (press once then hold on second press - then press when done) the next time you sync you select the exercise type it was and the level of intensity. It then gives you time worked out, steps, pace, and total burn. It keeps these values in an easy way to view separate from the rest of your daily goal.
The display for sleep has the best visual information displaying when you were awake, sleeping lightly, and deep asleep. The bars are incredibly clear and easy to read at a glance. You get percent to goal, sound sleep, how long to fall asleep, time awake, light sleep, how long you were in bed, and how many times you woke up.
The diet tracking is the true hidden gem to the jawbone app. I have used several others including a few paid apps and this is the best one. First to log food, not only can you type in the food - but you can scan the bar codes for more accurate tracking. As a bonus - if you are out to eat - with GPS enabled you can bring up the menu of the restaurant you are eating at and see the calories and such before ordering, this is just incredible. After you have logged your food, you can see how many calories eaten, how many in current meal, and how many left to your goal. In addition - the best part of this app is it gives more data than calories. Percentage based on recommended amount of Fiber, Unsat Fat, Carbs, Protein, Sugar, Sat Fat, Sodium, and Cholesterol. Its easy to log your food and even easier to see what you have left for the day and what you should avoid eating.
If you have friends that use the app, you can not only see what they log for activity, food, and sleep (if they choose to share), but you can also challenge them to duels, comment, ect.
The jawbone up is the fitness tracker for me, and even after buying the additional bands... was less expensive.

Sit comfortably during long work sessions with this Serta Works executive office chair. The faux leather material provides a soft feel and is easy to maintain, while the padded armrests offer extra support for forearms and shoulders. This Serta Works executive office chair has breathable mesh and thick cushions for added comfort.

Thought I was going to have to sacrifice a goat to set it up, but once it was done its everything I was looking for and is extremely comfortable.
This chair (specifically the base) even looks better than expected.

Cannot Carbonate in Bottle
on January 5, 2013
Posted by: nrouns
from Binghamton, NY
I was really disappointed with these bottles, as I do not need to take an entire liter to work. The idea was to be able to carbonate half liters to take on the go, however even though it says you can.... it cannot be used to carbonate the water directly.
When calling the company, they recommended that you carbonate the later bottle and than pour into the small bottle.
If it wasn't for the fact this bottle is so well made, and keeps soda very fresh, I would say it was completely useless.
Either way, you will not get a good value - see the two pack of one liter bottles, or end up returning this one.
What's great about it: Keeps your soda fresh
What's not so great: Says it works with your sodastream, doesn't.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

It feels a lot like the G930 in terms of quality build, but is more comfortable and looks nicer. My local store now has them on display, I would recommend looking at them first.
