Great Sound Bar
on June 22, 2017
Posted by: OmieOne
from East Stroudsburg, PA
This is nice. If you are looking for a sound bar that will provide a full sound experience and don't need or want a large subwoofer (Though you can add one later wirelessly later) This is the bar for you. It nice to have something compact without needed to string wires yet still get a good experience for sound for movies and music. It was also nice to see it come with mounting hardware if you wanted to mount this to a wall and if you have a Samsung TV (which I don't) then this may be something to look at as its all part of the Samsung ecosystem. It was also nice to see not only an Android APP but they also made an Apple App too to help control the sound bar.
The important thing is the sound and for me, I thought it sounded great even without a subwoofer, I could clearly enjoy my action movies and still get that boom without waking the neighbors, though I'm sure if I pushed the bar to max I could. Music sounded great, pairing it with my phone to stream my music was easy and sounded fine. I am very happy it does exactly what I would want with a soundbar. Sound great without needing to rewire my house and set speakers everywhere.

Very Nice Image
on June 22, 2017
Posted by: OmieOne
from East Stroudsburg, PA
Having an older HDTV from Sony, I wasn't ready for the upgrade in picture and color that this projector would provide. It is awesome.
First though the device is large, I was shocked at how large it ended up being. You will need a good size sturdy table or strong ceiling bracket to hold this projector. Epson was serious with this, and it feels solid. Once I found a good temporary home, still working out a permanent one as I misjudged the overall size, I got this device setup and a good HDMI 2.0b cable from my XBOX One S to the projector and plugged it in. Not you will want to get a newer HDMI 2.0b standard cable to take full advantage of this projector. If you have older HDMI Cables, you may not be able to fully use all the resolution modes. Even against my wall with the room filled with indirect sunlight my XBOX One S looked great. Took a bit of fiddling to get the HDR setup to play so I could test out my 4K HDR Blu-Ray's. Note Home Cinema 4000 will only do HDR in 4K/24p 4:2:2 mode. Which means for the XBOX One S, you have to go under advanced options and select 4:2:2 once that was done it detected HDR content for Blu-Rays.
I was blown away. I tested a few IMAX UHD HDR Discs and they looked great, then I put on Labyrinth UHD HDR and the picture was amazing, I could see details I haven't seen before, it was clear as day now. Movie night will rock at my house.
This is clearly an amazing device with great picture.
Its fairly quite for a projector, even when the fans where running and dumping heat, it wasn't very loud at all, but if you sit in front and to the side you feel the heat coming off this device to keep it cool.
I cannot rave more about this picture. It produces a stunning picture and even when playing XBOX One games just in SDR, like Forza Horizon, it just popped. I was impressed, and this will be great having a group of friends over to play Rocket League or other games on a "Large" Screen.
Additionally if you wanted to try 3D this projector supports 3d, however you will have to buy glasses. Still it is nice if you wanted to get into the 3D movies at a later date.
Really my only Con with this projector is the size. Its bulky, not travel size, but it's worth it for the picture. It just pops even against an off-white wall.
I mean WOW. This is a great picture. Amazing picture. Just make sure you have the space for it, as it about 21" wide and about 18" long and weighs about 24lbs. This is serious hardware. But awesomely serious hardware. If you are looking for a projector to just watch movies and go WOW. I think this one could be the one.
Let me just say again WOW, I love this picture and how bright it is. Great Job Epson.

Great Wireless Spearkers
on June 4, 2017
Posted by: OmieOne
from East Stroudsburg, PA
These speakers work great, but I am not an audiophile by any extent, but they sounded great when I connected them to my desktop via both USB and Bluetooth and gamed. Watching movies/music was also good. But honestly my ears suck, so I can't say if the highs are perfect over something etc. I just know they sounded great and I enjoyed wearing them. No problems with them connecting to my phones either. They worked and worked well. Also they are comfortable to wear, I have glasses on and even though wearing them for hours at a time I never felt tired from wearing them, stayed on my head well and battery lasted without any issues. These are my gaming go to headphones just because they work well. Do note that these are 100% digital, so no audio 3.5 jack. They connect via Bluetooth or digital USB connection. On Windows 10, it didn't request any drivers though the manual did recommend changing the audio sampling to the maximum. First time I've seen those directions.
Overall I enjoy these headphones and don't hesitate recommending them.

This is more than just a speaker - it's a journey. Starting from the very basic elements of sound and speakers, your children will build a deeper understanding as they move toward assembling their Speaker Cube. At every step, exploration is encouraged and curiosity is rewarded.

Great if you have an iOS Device
on June 4, 2017
Posted by: OmieOne
from East Stroudsburg, PA
Please note, you need an Apple iPhone or iPad to get the most out of this kit. I really wish they had multiple platforms, for the app. Hopefully in the near future they will. But check to see if this has changed because without iOS device it limits the fun you can.
That said I had fun with my kids putting this together, and playing with it hence the higher rating. We had an enjoyable afternoon with laughs, the learning though would have been better with the app as well as having some more experiments.
Overall not a bad little speaker that the kids can play with, just could have been improved with having the app on multiple platforms.
Still an afternoon having fun with the kids is worth at least four stars for me.

Great Wireless Extender
on May 7, 2017
Posted by: OmieOne
from East Stroudsburg, PA
This is definitely a great wireless extender that can be used to extend your home network. This device has some great features, first and foremost a switch to turn of the LED's on the device. This is something I wish more makers of electronics would do, provide a way to shutoff the LED's. This device is already winning me over.
Setup was great. It was simple and unlike other device manufactures who think we want to use our phones to setup these devices and hide all the settings from us, Amped Wireless didn't. I could connect easily to the device from my desktop computer, (which was a distance away. The Radio's on this thing are rocking) and get it setup. They make it fairly easy to get going and get connected to my home network. Once it was extending my wireless network, I then modified the standard setup to meet my needs and another nice thing is, it allowed me to not reboot after every setting change, something else I wish wireless routers would do more of, since I change I a lot of the settings to suit my needs. Once I did that and reboot its rocking on my network. The only downside, is it is truly an extender, so unlike mesh wireless routers you see you get multiple networks one for your main network and one for your extended network, so if you like walking around with the device you'll need to setup both profiles and expect a small disconnect and switch over as you roam. That is the only downside, however I'm using this to extend my network and bring some CAT-5 connections to devices I have in my upstairs bedroom and office. I don't have an issue with this, but others who might want seamless roaming this might not be the device for you.
That one downside covered this is a great device. It has all the modern needs, MU-MIMO, numerous bands to feed devices at a great throughput and it is powerful.
Other nice features is the ability to control the power output if you don't want to bleed your signal into next week. This is device can transmit. My Desktop which is no where near the dead spot that is upstairs bedroom had no problem talking to Amped Wireless extender.
To test the device I a USB hard drive connected to my main router, and the speed difference from the desktop over Ethernet directly to the usb hard drive and over wireless via the extender, rooms away was about 5MB/s. Not much difference at all for a 2GB file. This is something I consider great that both the Ethernet connection and wireless were able to MAX out the USB Hard drive buffer and get a constant flow is wonderful, esp. considering the Desktop computer was not placed near the wireless extender. This is a wonderful device with only the con of not being able to do seamless roaming, but with 4 ports for Ethernet connections and USB 3.0 connection for devices on the back and able to extend my network and root all dead spots in my home this is a perfect device and I don't hesitate at recommending it in the least. Please note my main router is a Linksys EA9500, which is a high end monster of a router, so mileage may vary depending on house and wireless router used to extend the network and how many neighbors you have nearby taking up open channels.

Great 4K Blu Ray Player
on May 7, 2017
Posted by: OmieOne
from East Stroudsburg, PA
This is a great upgrade from my old standard Blue-Ray player. The Blu-ray player is fast, unlike my older Sony model, turning on and starting Blu-Rays in seconds vs. minutes. The addition of network channels like Netflix, Amazon Prime, Vudu means I can move an older Roku player I had to a spare TV in the guest room and use this, so an added bonus I can reduce my device count and remotes needed. It streamed just as well as Roku, without any issues in my tests and the picture was great. It was responsive so I was happy with that. Additionally it found my NAS on the network and I was able to connect to that and stream some of the videos I have of the kids without any issue. Again a great bonus as I can once again reduce my device count in the living room.
Playing BluRays I have no complaints. As I stated, it started quickly and I was able to get right into the videos without an issue. Picture was great and played without issue which is what I want in a BluRay player. This is a top notch device and if you are looking for a single device to do a lot and give you a great picture in an easy interface this is the device.
As an added touch Sony added a Miracast (Screen Mirroring) to the device so you can connect your Android Phone and PC to your TV to show pictures etc. Again nice add one.
The one add-on though that sold me though was the Bluetooth connectivity. I can pair my Bluetooth headphones and listen to the movie late at night without waking the household. This is an awesome feature that I wasn't expecting that made this device 5 stars for me. Being able to connect my headphones, and watch my content on my TV with out worrying about the waking the house is awesome. Top notch feature that I hope to see more of in the future.
Again if you need a 4K BluRay player. This is the one.

Cool Hairdryer
on May 7, 2017
Posted by: OmieOne
from East Stroudsburg, PA
I'm not a stylist or an expert in things. In fact before this hair dryer I was using the cheapie one you get at a drug store, thinking what is the difference. The difference is big. This was an awesome hair dyer. It not only gets my hair dryer faster, but it doesn't seem to get brittle and stays nice all day. Same with my daughters hair when I help her blow dry, instead of getting dry and tangled it stays poufy and not at all tangled, making it easier for her to manage. This is just awesome. I love this dryer. Has all the features I need for my simple get my hair dry and get going. It does what I want and does it well. Can't ask for anything else.

Deep. Loud. And immersive, too. SoundLink Revolve+, the best-performing portable Bluetooth speaker from Bose, delivers true 360° sound for consistent, uniform coverage. Place it in the center of the room to give everyone the same experience. Or set it near a wall so sound radiates and reflects. This wireless speaker is durable, water-resistant and easy to grab and go - with a rechargeable battery that plays up to 16 hours.

This can Bring the House down
on April 2, 2017
Posted by: OmieOne
from East Stroudsburg, PA
First time testing this in the house was happy with the music, but it was bedtime for the kids so I forgot my phone was connected via Bluetooth and went upstairs with them to get them ready, well they asked about a recent movie coming out so I pulled up the trailer on my phone and forgot about the connection. At first didn't hear anything, so I turned my phone up, all of a sudden I felt the bass through the floor and could hear fairly clearly through closed doors the dialog. At that point I was impressed, esp. the feeling of the bass. This is a great speaker, easy to move around with wonderful sound. Battery lasts. I tested it running music through it all day and my phones died before this did. This will be my go-to now when people come over, or we go someplace, sit outside. So easy to grab and go and control. I like it so much I've been using it instead of headphones on my desktop computer when I game. There is something nice about really feeling the booms. Now I'm not an audiophile in the least. I can't tell if this has good bass vs. treble or whatever it is people with better hearing then mine look for. I can tell you it has good range. Music to action sound great and clear and at full volume this thing can shake it. For a portable speaker its a total win, and that handle make it so easy to tote around. It also can connect to devices via a standard AUX or USB connection. I haven't tested those, but I'm sure they work fine.
Setup was easy, esp. if you have an Android or IOS device handy as they have an app to control pairing/firmware updates.
This also doubles as a phone speaker for calls. Seemed to work fine for the quick call I tested. No complaints for the other side, so some additional fun if you want to call grandma. Easy to get everyone around to talk.
Bluetooth pairing wasn't an issue at all, fairly easy overall. The device just worked for me and that is a huge plus.
Overall this is best Bluetooth speaker I've every heard/had in my life.

Keep your SoundLink Revolve or Revolve+ Bluetooth speaker charged and ready to go, with the SoundLink Revolve charging dock. It’s a convenient home base for your speaker, and you can play your music while it charges. Just plug the wall charger included with your speaker into the cradle. Available in Black.

A Must Have
on April 2, 2017
Posted by: OmieOne
from East Stroudsburg, PA
This is a Must have to for the Revolve+ Bluetooth speaker. It makes it easy to keep it charged and ready for action, just place it on the dock, and grab and go when you need the tunes. It saves you from having to fiddle with the USB power connection in the back every time. If you get a Revolve+ get this docking station, it makes life easier. Just wish it came with its own AC adapter. Be nice to have a spare for travel, but that is the worse I can say for this, I consider it a must have. Wish all my stuff that needed charging had docks like this. Makes life very easy.

Overall Unimpressed with Dyson V7
on March 19, 2017
Posted by: OmieOne
from East Stroudsburg, PA
Overall I am unimpressed, with Dyson V7 and the Company itself. The V7 is a small, and light product. The cordless feature appealed to me to help with quick cleanup especially in the car where getting the shop vac out can be a hassle. However after using the product I think the shop vac is easier. The good is, they aren't lying when they say the vac runs at full power until no charge. That is nice. From the beginning to the end you get full power. However if you use max suction it will be less then 30 and about 30 minutes when on the slower speed. Hope you get what you want vacuumed in that period because then it takes a few hours to recharge fully for use.
If that was it, I'd be happy because a car can be done with that amount of charge, and the occasion mess pick up around the house again is within the charge amount. However I have noticed a few flaws in the device too. The finish had a paint chip missing showing low QA to allow that out, and if it wasn't QA it was in shipping. Though my box was fine, so I think that was bad QA.
Additionally they in include a wall dock to hand the V7 on the wall with the attachments. This would have been handy if they included the screws and anchors like there documentation said. DON'T EXPECT THE SCREWS AND ANCHORS.
After, talking with what Dyson, laughingly calls, 5-star service, all I got was after a run around. Yes the manual is wrong, and we aren't including the screws. With the support doing the minimum effort and not supporting there product, esp. to the tune for a buck worth of screws and anchors for the customer, I don't think I will ever support this company. Simple customer service, since they made the mistake in documentation, could have helped in getting me the screws.
Additionally after using this device a few times, my large hands may not be designed for this. After using it for 20 minutes in testing around the house my thumb, where it meets my palm, the done at that point was rubbed raw. So if you have normal size man hands and expect to hold the device to the length of the charge be prepared for some discomfort after using.
Because of the paint chip, poor customer service and the fact it doesn't fit my hands I can't support this product or recommend anyone else. The battery, while staying at power doesn't last long enough to be useful expect for some edge cases or quick clean up. Is uncomfortable to use and the lack of 5-star service all make Dyson a company I will avoid in the future. Esp. because of the customer service. I can over look the chip on the finish and thumb getting rubbed wrong, since it does vacuum well, but the poor customer service kills it. If there customer service actually provided service and the screws and anchors there documentation lists, I would have given it 4 stars with the caveats above as long as you understand the limited use for this. But because there customer service is anything but find a different company as this product does not shine over Dyson's lack of support.

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.
