Nice set of headphones
on September 23, 2017
Posted by: OmieOne
from East Stroudsburg, PA
Overall this is a great set of headphones that can block out additional noise so you can focus. Even if you just use these headphones just to deaden the white noise that surrounds us all the time to concentrate I am very happy with these.
**Out of Box Experience***
Very easy to get setup for the most part, though I did have to force my phone to update to the latest version of the Bose Connect App. (While this isn't necessary it makes managing the volume and other features of the phone easier). Once I updated the app, I didn't have any problem get it recognized, though over Bluetooth it took about 30 minutes for a firmware update to download to the headphones. Even then they were usable, just be warned.
***Usage***
I've been using them over the last few days a lot. At least 5 hours and the battery has only gone down about 10%. So I'm happy with this. It seems the battery (Bose Claims 30 hours) is on point which is nice, it will get you through a long travel day without needing to charge which is a plus when you travel. The headphones themselves are comfortable to wear, I even fell asleep with them in my easy chair for a bit and wasn't uncomfortable when I awoke a bit later. It was nice because the noise cancelling allowed me to take a bit longer than normal during the day when the kids are running around. So plus for that. The Noise cancelling is very good, it completely removes the fan noise from my computer while gaming, so all I hear is game.
It has a button for Google Assistant, but I tend not to use it. I tried it, it seemed to work fine, better then when I yell at my phone, but honestly not a huge feature for me. Using the connect app I remapped the button to be able to turn on and off noise cancelling.
The sound overall is great and I can listen to music and games without an issue. Seemed clear, and not muted or muddled to me. Also they include a standard cable to connect these headphones via headphone jacks as well. So that is a nice addition, these can be used without Bluetooth, or when you don't want to pair them.
***Minor Complaints****
My only real issue with these headphones is the obviously surround the ear completely (and that is comfortable) but can make the ears feel a bit warm. But even with glasses I don't have a problem besides warm ears wearing these headphones for a long period of time. Also if it matters to you, these do not have a USB-C connector to recharge, using the older Micro USB cable. The one included with the headphones is fairly short and no wall plug.
**TLDR***
If you are looking for a good pair of comfortable headphones with noise cancelling and long battery life these headphones are for you. The ability to connect them via cable is handy and the only small downside is my ears get a bit hot for long sessions of wearing these.
It comes with a nice fairly hard case to make travel easy. I hope you enjoy them as much as me.

weBoost Hit it out of the Park
on September 6, 2017
Posted by: OmieOne
from East Stroudsburg, PA
Let me say if you are in a rural area, like me, Northeastern PA/New Jersey Area, this is a wonderful addition to your car to help smooth out those weaker spots of coverage.
Important NOTE - This booster, per FCC Regulations, must be registered with your Cell Carrier before you setup it and try it. For AT&T my carrier, (the other big ones I would assume the same) you just log into a webpage give your name, contact and Serial Number of the weBoost. I assume this is in case they need to contact you because the device goes haywire or something. But it takes 3 seconds to do, it was just lucky I read the whole manual, I really wish weBoost had a bright red sticker or something stating it more clearly as I could have missed it, if I just setup this device and turned it on without reading anything.
Now experience may differ for carrier, frequencies your phone will work on and those that the carrier has on the towers near. Reading the manual it appears they cover everything, but my experiences are using an unlocked Google Pixel XL on AT&T. I don't have a Verizon/Sprint/T-Mobile phone to test, but judging by the information contained within the weBoost I think you should be covered just as well, but I don't have any experience in testing that to confirm.
Onto the experience.
****Setup****
Easy peasy. Biggest issue is more my nature to make sure I run the wires nicely in my car. From the antennae attached to my roof, to the wire running to the truck of my car to the base box up to the holder for the phone, it's simple as pie and they label everything nicely. All the parts are solid and feel solid. The Phone holder has a strong magnet that doesn't jiggle over the potholes in the area. My only small complaint is the phone holder springs are super strong. I use two hands to take my phone out, because it will snap shut fast and I made that mistake only once. So take your time getting your phone out and save your skin. It plugs into a standard 12V Outlet in your car and has a handy USB charging port for your phone charging cable to plug. Very nicely designed that. Props for the setup and thought that went into this product.

***Usage***
At first I was skeptical of the device, and my initial testing I didn't seem to be getting any boost, seemed to be all about the same in my 60 mile back road commute. Even the dB meter I downloaded didn't show me blasting it, but then I stopped my car and turned off the engine and I noticed two things, one my signal strength dropped, but also my phone signal would bounce up and down trying to get a better signal out. In the holder sure it moved up and down. I was moving after all, but it smooth. Once I stopped and turned off the my engine and turned off the booster my phone struggled in the area I was in and tried much harder. So I did another test, on my drive home, I turned on navigation with real time traffic. This tends to heat my phone as I drive since signal is poor in places. Not in this case at all. Phone stayed a nice cool temp, meaning it was pushing extra power to connect. Phone didn't have to work hard and get hot and that kept the battery cool. Another point in its favor showing it working. Even if it didn't give me a better a signal the fact I didn't have to work my phone as hard was a bonus. Third test came when I was called on my phone. It was the clearest call I've had while driving. I could easily understand the person on the other side and they could me without issue. It was great. Four test came in a deadish spot near my house. If I stream music and it hasn't buffered for this 1/2 mile stretch, I won't get music or anything really. I started the song right as I got to the spot and while I didn't play perfectly it started and kept going with slight pauses. Something I'd never be able to do without the booster installed.

I have been using it now for about a week and it really works and makes a huge difference for me as I drive. Now it is not perfect it won't take complete dead spots with no coverage and allow you to call. But in areas where the phone really struggles this will give you the edge to get through, and smooth out everything else keeping your phone from having to overwork.
If you drive through areas of low coverage this device may be what you are looking for. I am very happy with it, not only the function, but also the overall design and feel of the product.
If you want to help your cell reception in backroads I think this is the device you were looking for.

Wow, This is What Juice Tastes Like
on August 2, 2017
Posted by: OmieOne
from East Stroudsburg, PA
Wish I got a juicer long ago. This is a great little device to make fresh juice. So far I've done only Apple in the juicer, but wow the difference between the juice from this and even the fancy organic stuff I get is night and day. The Juice from this is like sticking a straw into the apple and drinking straight from apple.
Overall this is a fairly easy device to use and juice with a few caveats that I don't think impede the use of this wonderful device. I like it for one because of it's small footprint. I don't have a lot of space and this was able to fit without any fuss. So a win, but because of the size the fruit/nuts need to be cut into fairly smallish pieces to fit the tube to be juiced. Not a bad thing, just a bit fussy. The other fussy part is there is no indicator light I saw to show that the catch for the pulp is properly seated. Took me playing with it a few times to make sure it was seated correctly for the juicer to turn on. A little LED would have been a nice touch. But no big deal. Just fiddly and totally worth it for fresh 100% juice. A glorious thing. In theory fresh almond milk too. But I haven't tried that yet.
Otherwise I like it. Comes apart easy and so simple to clean and store I'm impressed and enjoying this. If you want juice this is totally device for you.

Nice Comfy Pair of Headphones
on July 14, 2017
Posted by: OmieOne
from East Stroudsburg, PA
I am not an audio type person. So if you are looking to see how these compare to some other pair in sound; how good is the bass, I can't help I'm afraid. I can tell you though the battery life on these is amazing. I've been using them for a week at least a few hours a day and have yet to charge them. That is great in my opinion its nice to have great battery life for the headphones. As I said, I'm not a sound guy, but the sound I do hear is loud and clear, seems to cover the full range and I don't seem to be missing out. They are nice and comfy too. I have a slightly large head and wear glasses and even after wearing them for a few hours don't notice I've been wearing beyond the fact since they are closed my ears tend to get a bit hot.
These also have the ability to plug in via a headphone jack (assuming we still will have devices with that going forward).
JBL also gives a great case for travel that fits the cables and headphones and is solid enough to protect against crashing in my laptop bag. Its nice to not have to worry about finding something to protect them when I go to the office.
Pairing was simple, and the range on these when paired was great. Normally when I pair with my desktop computer I lose connection about 20 ft. away around my microwave in the kitchen. These stayed strong and didn't drop once when I walked over there.
I think these are a great pair, that are comfortable and sound great to me with awesome battery. While they don't have noise cancelling the over ear does block out a large amount of noise isolating you to enjoy your music or games.

Light well fitting BT Headphones
on July 1, 2017
Posted by: OmieOne
from East Stroudsburg, PA
These are a great pair of headphones. Very light and easy to wear. Hardly know they are one. It was nice that these headphones came with a wide array of earbuds to find the size that fits best your ear. It was nice to have some choice and find the ones for my ear since I seem to have weird ear sizes. I like that they took the time to make sure everyone can enjoy there headphones. Additionally they give you a nice hard carrying case to hold it in. Its small enough that it fits nicely in your pocket and keeps them safe and from tangling.
Now lets talk about the headphones. These are your standard Bluetooth headphones. Links nicely with my phone and I was able to enjoy my music but move around and not feel like I was wearing headphones, nor did they get loose. Its nice to have an active pair of headphones with good sound. I'm not a sound expert. If I can listen to my music, audiobooks and podcasts normally then its a winner. Battery life is great on these, I was able to use them over multiple days without recharging. It rained a bit while I was out and nothing happened to these headphones, nice to not have to worry about light rain from damaging things. If your looking for a pair of headphones with good sound a large array of tips, and some water resistance these are definitely a good a choice.

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

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.

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

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.

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.
