The Klipsch Flexus Core 100 Sound System, powered by Onkyo, lays the foundation for amazing movie nights, gripping gaming campaigns that go late into the night, and streaming the next binge-worthy show. Powered by exceptional acoustics and proprietary Klipsch Transport technology, this 2.1-channel sound bar is the first step towards building the whole home entertainment ecosystem of your dreams.

Is is a great bit of sound kit and finally a soundbar that can help replace my old wired 5.1 Sound system. You definitely will want to make sure your TV has an HDMI eArc connector for the best sound, but at least an ARC, to ensure the best possible sound from your movies, esp the ones with Dolby Atmos.
You can also mount this to the wall which I assume will give you better sound being more free floating then sitting on the TV stand, however I have mine on the stand and to be honest Klipsch engineered it with people like me as the Subs are pointing up from what I see so you get the feel in the room. You can either use the remote included or there application for your phone to EQ/Remote control the device and pair. You don't need anything fancy if you just want 2.1 sound, and I find the dialog boosting function to work well, I could actually hear it in the Chris Nolan movies I tested, which is awesome.
The main advantage to this system is you can add a proper Subwoofer and two Wireless speakers to this. I like the ability at a later time to add the wireless speakers and not have to run wires throughout the living room, just make sure they are in a place with Power.
I think is the great and well thought out by Klipsch and they are using Onyoko for the electronics and that combo created a very solid and well sounding soundbar that I am happy with and will most likely expand in the coming year to include the wireless speakers for true surround sound.

The little bar that could.
on January 20, 2025
Posted by: OmieOne
My use case for this soundbar wasn't for a home theatre setup in a movie room, but for my bedroom and small TV. As you can guess the speakers on the TV aren't great and I feel like I have the volume all the way up and can barely hear, so having a smaller mini-sound bar to give me 2.0 sound for late night TV is a definite step up. These gives good sound for the occasional TV Drama and Youtube video I grab at night before bed so I'm happy with that. I even did a movie the other night and it wasn't horrible, but again I didn't get this for cinema sound I got it so I could actually hear my TV and enjoy some shows and technical Youtube videos and I find this sound bar has the right sound for what I wanted and am happy with it. Setup was simple enough, just plug it into the TV, and being about 20" fit pefectly on my TV stand below my 32 inch panel. I don't have the TV mounted to the wall, but this would be just as easy to mount if needed, looking at.
Overall for my useage case to get improved sound in my bedroom for late night viewing I couldn't be happier with this little bar.

Cheap Wi-Fi 7 Access Pioints for me.
on January 20, 2025
Posted by: OmieOne
Setup:
They have tried to make setup simple by using an App on your phone. I'm really not a fan of that, because they don't always support these applications for long term, that said, setting it up via the application wasn't an issue, but also you need an android or an apple device with Internet ahead of time to do this, and I've been in instances where that wasn't possible. I would prefer a secondary method in the instructions to do it via ethernet, and maybe it is possible, but it wasn't clear from the directions or the website. You then just need to place where it makes sense for your house. In my test
while the newer Wi-FI 7 protocols did much better on the backhaul, it still wasn't great for the way my house is built, which is why I need a mesh system. That is why I have some wired ethernet ports in the house and the Deco supports wired backhaul with 2.5 Gigabit it was perfect and I was getting great speed from them and coverage as I expected.

Deco Pods:
Once it was setup, which the application does a good job of walking you through you can start using it. While this is Wi-Fi 7, and has two 2.5 Gigabit network connections as well, it does have the 6Ghz band, and while that Band is limited distance, it is high speed and nothing yet is on it and would have been a nice touch to round this out. However the 2.5 Gigabit, and having two is awesome because as a backhaul it can cover must of the speed of the wireless and it gives you a secondary port for either local access in the room. So the design is great for small pods. The Firmwire is based on WRT so the bones are solid, however its been heavily modified for the pods as normal OpenWRT will not fit due to lack of RAM. Overall the performance was great and the improved wi-fi 7 protocol seemed to stablize some of my IoT devices as well. The kids and significant other have been happy with them.
If you don't mind the app setup and want something simple to cover your house in Wi-Fi this will do the job, but I can't speak to the router performance as I used this is wireless access points and a mesh not as my full internet solution. As AP's I have no compliants. Solid overall.

HMD Vibe gives you smooth performance, even while running multiple apps, for up to 2 days between charges. And it does this for less than you~d expect. It~s not lacking in the camera department, either ~ thanks to advanced AI modes, all you have to do is strike a pose, snap away and share.
Posted by: OmieOne
I've been a fan of HMD phones for a long time, as they were the ODM for Nokia the last few years. This is continuing in that tradition. A simple phone with modest specs that will work well as a daily driver phone, without all the unnecessary extras or features honestly you won't use much on a daily phone.
Setup is easy, pop out nano-SIM tray, add your nano-SIM and microSD card if using, slide it in and turn on. Switching SIMS on my carrier cricket is no fuss, and no different here on this phone. Google has made transferring your stuff easy, just follow along with the prompts and next thing you know you have your phone all set and ready. I do recommend checking for updates on Android as I had the Dec patch, and once that completed no issues using my applications on the phone.
Phone itself has a decent processor, and good amount of RAM, so app loading/switching is responsive. On the few calls I had no issues and the battery life is solid that I'm easily getting a day out of it, so no issues there. HMD is also good at having the size of the device open, so finding a case to protect from drops was no issue. Overall this is a perfect phone for someone who doesn't need a gaming computer in their pocket, but wants something they can use for GPS navigation, music listening and everything else. This i a great phone and very happy with it and I hope you will be too.

Great for cooking for your horde
on November 10, 2024
Posted by: OmieOne
For such a simple device that just blows forced air to heat food, these things have become indispensable and this one works perfectly for my family of five. Being 8 quarts means I can get enough french fries into the Bella Air Fryer in one shot for the family.
The use of the Air Fryer is really simple, and the touch screen provides you with several options and times, which is great if you're new to these devices. The suggestions and defaults for the food are a good starting point and I love the fact I don't have to heat a whole oven to cook, which helps keep the kitchen a bit cooler and uses less electricity, which is a great benefit.
Cleanup is also very quick and simple. They coated the inside basket and little fryer rack on the bottom which helps the air get under the food with ceramic. This makes cleanup much easier and less scrubbing to get it clean and help reduce food from sticking in the basket to the basket. Means I don't have to use a thick coat of oil to make sure my food doesn't stick, just a quick spritz and I'm good I find.
The basket too is huge I've actually done a whole chicken in basket and had it come out great. Knowing that it will take up a bit more space on the counter, but if you need to cook a chicken, or a few pounds of French Fries for the hungry horde can't go wrong and you won't spend hours after cleaning it.
Highly recommend for those who need an Air Fryer for a horde.

Great cans for the Office
on November 10, 2024
Posted by: OmieOne
These are simple, light weight long battery life headphones with above average sound. These are perfect for those of us going back into the office and need to block out all the noise. They work well in the office environment and can double as a set of headphones for calls in a pinch.
Setup is easy, charge them up and pair them with your device. Though I will say the charging cord provided is one of the shortest I've ever seen and only works well as a backup when you can find a longer cord and can place them on the desk next to your PC or USB hub to charge. It would have been nice if the cord weren't three inches long and instead the usual three feet. That aside though the battery life is great. I've been able to get about 30 hours on a full charge with ANC on which will cover about three days at the office, a charge overnight and I can get another three days.
The sound is above average and fine of the office where you aren't as focused on the music in deep listening, they work well. The Microphones work fine for calls as I didn't get any complaints from my teammates when I used them for a few calls while my work headset was charging.
Overall these are a nice pair of wireless ANC headphones and I like them for the purpose I got them for.

Perfect Coffee Maker for a home office
on October 26, 2024
Posted by: OmieOne
While most people would use this coffee maker for their home in the kitchen, I am using this in my Home Office as I find it hard at times to walk to the Kitchen during meeting so I was looking for something compact and contained. This coffee make is perfect, it uses pods, so no mess/spilt grounds. The coffee pods keep the coffee fresh so I don't have to worry if I don't use them all at once and they make a decent cup of coffee that is perfect to keep you on the go.
Setup of the coffee maker was easy, just fill with water, plug in and your ready for your coffee. The nice thing this included a vareity of the different types of coffee pods so you can get going/survive your office meetings rate away and can figure out what coffee suits you.
Use of the coffee machine is easy, unlock, enter pod lock press button, ensure your coffee cup is in place and then enjoy. They have an interesting cup holder for the brew that you can adjust the height, just push in.
Also this coffee maker looks great and fits in an office and you have coffee on hand. So if you need something for your Office/Home Office this is diffently a winner.

Cannon Optics for the Win
on October 26, 2024
Posted by: OmieOne
I have always been a fan of Cannon and its optics and I love tech toys. This combines them both into a Range Finder with laser as well as a camera and video capture. I have only just started my golf journey so getting the most out of this may take some time for my game to improve to get full use. However the range finder has been helpful in the driving range, helping me understand my clubs and distances. That has been a boon as I'm just trying to hit the ball and I'm sure once I get out into the greens it will help me understand my clubs as I start.
***Setup***
Setup is easy, however it does not come with a USB-C cable to charge it. However since most phones have been using this cable for a while as well as other devices you should have one. However if you don't make sure you buy one to charge.

***USE****
For one thing this device is light, Cannon says it weighs 150g, and sure feels like it. Easy to carry with you and the nice thing it has Camera and video recording for what you need. Added benift to this, is if you our your partner likes hikes/bird watching this is a perfect thing to carry as you have a monocular that you can use to take bird pictures and other things.

Perfect starter Mic for Streaming/gaming
on October 18, 2024
Posted by: OmieOne
This is a great sounding overall Microphone for streaming/gaming with friends, even *gasp* video conferences for work.
****SETUP****
It comes in a simple box with a fixed stand, and a USB C cable. The only downside is they made their cable a custom shape to fit in the back, so if you damage your cable and use just a normal USB-c the back of the microphone won't have clean lines, but it's in the back. However, on Windows 10, I plugged the cable in, and it was detected instantly and ready to, though only downside since it has a 3.5 mm jack for headphones it took over my headphones and I had to go into settings and switch back to my headphones, so be aware when you plug in for the first time you'll have to switch your sound output back to where you want it.

***Usage***
Without any other software though I was able to add it to my current setup and OBS without issues. However I recommend downloading the Wave software from Elgato as it gives you functionality and tuning of the microphone as well adding VST plugins to change and tune your sound. Also it has a nice LED on the front that is white when the microphone is recording and red without, using the wave software you change the intensity, and its large enough that you can't miss your mic being muted or open, so less of a chance of chat yelling at you that your muted. The only major downside is the Mic stand itself is fixed height and I would have liked the ability to raise or lower based on my setup. But its a minor bug for good voice sound.

Great way to help sore muscles.
on October 7, 2024
Posted by: OmieOne
This a nice percussive muscle maintenance device. First it comes with a number of different heads for different areas of the body including a heated one which is really nice after a hard day moving 50lbs bags of stuff around the house. I additionally like the handle design it makes it easier to control and much more comfortable to use either on yourself or someone else in the house who might need it. The charge on the device holds well allowing you plenty of time to work out all the different muscle kinks.
It does have a phone application that you can tie to the muscle massagers. The phone application is fine, but I thinkk I'm getting old because not everything needs an application to control it. However the application isn't bad and it will pair easily, at least that is something that has improved over the years, with your phone and massager. Once that is done you can control different settings to help dial in your experience.
Overall I really do like this device, easy to charge and comfortable to use to help work out all those knots muscles seem to get these days.

If you still have to have Internet service what do I need this thing for I already have a router
Well the two I can think of are: 1. If you need better/stronger wifi coverage throughout your house or 2. if you have newer devices that can use the AC wireless settings. With the Mu-Mimo, even if your devices don't support it, testing has shown that your over all wireless throughput will be better as the router can share the connection better with all devices.
