High End Sound
on May 18, 2019
Posted by: Mrbell1970
from Fresno
My TCL Roku 55" Class 4K (2160P) Smart LED TV (55US57) has a fantastic picture but has poor audio, like with most budget HDTV’s, so a good soundbar is mandatory especially with movies and in my case, movies with the new DTS audio won’t even play from my media player (Generic Kodi Box). Vocals are hard to make out with lackluster soundtracks was something I just learned to get use to and after hearing incredible vivid sound from the Klipsch Bar 48 for the first time, can’t believe I waited so long before buying a decent soundbar.
Kilspch a high end speaker company which quality shows as soon as you open the box and see the well built soundbar and subwoofer, a lot heaver then some other brands like that I’ve encountered. Setup was fairly easy even though the instructions could have been better, I did have a hard time finding the subwoofer button mainly because the diagram instructions does not match the actual unit. Once pairing the sub then you need set up your HDTV which varies depending on model but will mention issues I had, the HDMI-CEC found the soundbar in auto settings and completely controlled it with the Roku remote, but did not use the latest Dolby. This cause my over the air antenna programming sound to be out of sync: selecting Dolby D+, DT under ARCS solved this issue. Crisp clear dynamic audio is what you get once running, both highs and lows, speaking of lows the bass is very robust and is adjustable as well.

Perfect Active Headphones
on May 3, 2019
Posted by: Mrbell1970
from Fresno
Summary
These headphones use the latest Bluetooth 5 which gives it a long 8 hour battery life, Alerts you of calls by vibration & caller ID, has magnetic earbuds to avoid tangles, IP66 sweat resistance, EQ sound options. Very light weight with a flexible design that not only will fit comfortably around neck but will stay put when things get physical.
I personally own 6 different types of Bluetooth headsets and as far as one of my favorites past ones for jogging, biking and working out have been the MPOW Cheetahs (pictured) due mainly to the around your head and out of the way design but the new JBUDS Band has taking over the duties and is now my main headset for active activities. The JBUDS offers far more superior sound over my old pair and even has a sound equalizer (which just blew my mind, never seen this at this price point) with 3 custom settings: Jlab signature, Balanced and Bass Boast, this feature alone makes this product better than the majority of wireless headsets in my opinion. Sound quality is great even without the additional EQ, very clean and crisp on both highs and lows.
You can’t imagine my delight when I first turned it on and head a pleasant lady’s voice who confirmed it was on, this was what I liked about my MPOW’s, but the JBUDS gave me battery life information as well. Just wow!!!! I been wanting a feature like that for Bluetooth speakers and headsets for a long time so kudo’s to you JLAB’s and then I receive a phone call with neck base vibrating and the lady telling me that I have an incoming call and reads out the number (CALLER ID), again color me impressed. The call quality seems good as well on both ends of the call.
The already long battery life and battery indicator via voice are true highlights to this device but it gets better, the design where the base fits nicely around yours neck with a soft, flexible band and easy to access control buttons. Parring was very easy and powering on, answering calls or even using OK GOOGLE or SIRI with very simple multiple clicks that are outline in button functions on the box. This headset is so comfortable that I have used them while sleeping.
The wired headsets fit perfectly in my ears, since my left ear canal is sized differently than my right this has been an issue on other headsets, and offer 3 type of gel cushions. A small USB cable is included as well. Jlabs have set the bar pretty high for active neckband headsets.

Instant Selfies
on April 30, 2019
Posted by: Mrbell1970
from Fresno
This is a instant camera will be capable of printing 2x3-inch and now 2x2-inch Zink prints that is user selectable with a button. Users can also easily reprint the last photo again with a new reprint button. It's a 8-megapixel camera that features a square selfie mirror and auto-flash. There's a microSD slot for capturing and exporting photos and a USB port for charging. Another added feature is the ability to use Bluetooth and connect to the free Canon Mini Print App to print images on the IVY CLIQ+ from smartphones.
These are really cool features on this modern version of a Polaroid and in my case, the ability to print from my Canon printer (which is very user friendly) is highly desirable since I feel the 2x3 pictures from camera itself are just too small and rather print regular 8x5 picture.
As far the 8 meg camera picture quality is concern, is pretty good outside but not great in low light indoors as the look dark and grainy.
This is good for selfie adventurers outside or maybe creating work related ID's but picture size should be at least 4x6 minimal.

Bluetooth Issues
on April 24, 2019
Posted by: Mrbell1970
from Fresno
Summary
Good alternative to use your phone’s Google Assistant via the car stereo, this offers voice commands plus access to your phone music play list. Many older model cars do not offer Android Car or Apple Car Play so this device would be very handy giving you voice access to Calendar, Appointments, text messages, navigation (Google Maps) and phone. On paper this should be an easy and affordable way to get Google Assistant in your ride.
The Roav Bolt itself is a simple device that sticks into your car's cigarette lighter socket. It has a couple of USB ports on the side for charging your phone and there's an AUX jack as well. On the top are four LED lights that'll light up to show you it's working -- blue indicates pairing mode, orange is when it's looking for a connection, green is for an incoming call and white is when it's listening to you. Although you can just say "Hey Google" for Assistant to kick in, there's also a physical button that you can press to skip that step. If you want to reset the Bolt or put it in pairing mode, you can long-press that same button.
I tried this on two older cars, one with Bluetooth and one without, now fully expecting the Bluetooth to well was my expectation, so when it didn’t was very disappointed. It did not like my older Bluetooth software in car since it was a pain to par and had a noticeable delay while giving voice commands on the GM, I did get it to work with an included AUX cable and this car just happens to have an AUX in port (many older cars don’t) worked faultless. The other car that does not have Bluetooth worked well too via the AUX cable on the Toyota.
I feel this device still needs some fine tuning that could address older Bluetooth systems via a software update.
PROS:
Google Assistant for your HOOPTIE.
CONS:
Poor pairing and general operation on cars with older Bluetooth systems.

Perfect size for me!!!!!
on April 12, 2019
Posted by: Mrbell1970
from Fresno
First initial thoughts on this speaker was how small and well made it is, the outer shell is coated with some kind of rubber which feels really good in the hands while providing a good gripe. It also has a strap that can easily be attached to things and parring to my Samsung S8 was a breeze, but when I adjusted the volume to 30% and played music could barely hear anything? Then went up to 50% and still too low, so most people will have to play music at volume range between 60%-100%, just for comparison, my Sony SRS-XB2 can play music from phone at 30% but this may not be an issue for some.
Surprisingly Jazz and Reggae sounds pretty decent from this small speaker with good highs and lows. The device can also get loud and fill a room and using multi deices such as my Kindle Tablet and desktop at work (I do this to save battery life on phone) is seamless. Totally satisfied in general with sound quality for genre I listen but some songs that are a bass beast, like Run The Jewl: Hey Kids,bass will distort a little on max not really an issue for me cause I will rarely play anything on max but generally teenagers do, with that said, still a way better option than using your smartphone speaker as this will greatly outperform it.
Perfect size for a portable speaker, great for trails, fishing, beach and work space. My girlfriend used it once for meditation and now wants one for herself. I was using a cheap speaker triple it’s size with only a 5 hour battery life at work, so this is definitely an upgrade with better sound and a couple of without charging:)
Now for some nick-picking: I wish the device some type battery level measurement system that told you exactly how much battery power you have. A manually button to off the extra bass feature would have been nice also.
Cons:
Bass is on max volume is sometimes a little distorted on heavy bass drum songs.
Volume under 60% is pretty much too low and useless.
Pros:
Very small and perfect for portability.
Good crisp quality sound.
Great battery life.
Multi device bluet-tooth connections.
Easy parring.
Sufficient loudness on higher higher volume settings (70% up)
Can add additional speaker (Only another SRS-XB12)

Small package but big vac suction
on April 10, 2019
Posted by: Mrbell1970
from Fresno
After going though many vacuum's due to always buying the cheap ones on sale that ether breaks within six months or just does a poor job, this is a breath of fresh air. I was pretty skeptical at first because use to big traditional type vacuum so did not expect much when it came to suction power, but this vac provides more than enough to fill my needs.
Many people I know recommend Shark as a good brand and after owning one myself, I can see why. The first time opening the box your greeted with their website that has how to videos for your product (nice touch) then there is quick start manual and since this unit is very easy to put together in the first place, had no issues trying to it figure out. A lot other vacuums I have encountered have many parts with very confusing manual but Shark seems to have the customer experience in mind since there are very few parts, good documentations and even videos.
The design is nice and compact so you get under furniture with ease, lightweight and has premium features such as a floor light, long power cord, quick release buttons to take off the main unit for storage and to add other accessories. The self cleaning feature that removes all hairs and avoids it getting tangled is a great and the only cons I have is I wish the bag-less compartment was bigger because it fills up pretty quickly, plus I wish it had more than just two speeds (high and low) a medium speed option would have been nice.
In a nutshell, I'm very happy with this product.

Posted by: Mrbell1970

The only advantages cosmetic, smaller, thinner but really not that different from a similar spec 2015 MBP at this price point. If you want a quality laptop just for general surfing and light office work, then this will suit you nicely but the older MacBook Air and MacBook will work also and they are a bit cheaper.
CONS:
Didn't like the keyboard
Didn't like Safari (slower than Chrome, Chrome even ran better on the MacBook Pro)
Not enough ports

I compared many laptops like Dell XPS 13, Macbook 2015, Macbook 2016, HP Spectre, HP Spectre 360 and none offer the specs of this Asus for $1200 price and the Q324ua outperformed the majority of them. This a really slick machine that is smaller than my Acer Chromebook 14 but has the power to handle intense task. Only 2 issues like others have reported it's a fingerprint magnet and the you can fan on heavy loads, well I'm old school and use to hearing fans louder than that so does not bother me. Jetstream benchmark score gets around 200.(Octane pictured)

Good Chromebook
on July 16, 2016
Posted by: Mrbell1970
from Fresno
First of all, in my opinion, the very best Chromebook that is in the $300 range, is a Toshiba Chromebook 2 celeron 3215u: fastest cpu so far under $300, better IPS screen and back light keyboard. So why did I purchase the Acer you may ask? Because it was on sale for $270 and I had some Best Buy points so got it really cheap, especially when at the time the Toshiba was $399. Anyways I'm very glad I did because this model does everything I need and a bit more. My previous Chromebook was a Asus C201 (11.6 screen, 2 gigs) so the bigger HD screen, more memory, faster cpu and overall premium look is quite the upgrade compared to that. I always have more than 15 tabs open without any slowdown and can take it up to 30 before it starts to slowdown so I leisurely surf like I would on my Windows laptop. Acer really did a good job on this model.

Main complaint is that the sales rep said this laptop, purchased as an open box item, would receive the Windows 10 upgrade. On turning it on & trying to upgrade, I found out that the laptop, in fact, cannot receive the Win10 upgrade. Always disappointing when a sales rep overpromises and under delivers!! Other than that, it seems to be a nice laptop but I won't keep it because Windows 8 drives me crazy!

2 out of 5A nice tablet for books. That's really it.
By MK555
Apps run okay but the real problem is streaming and internet browsing. I'm telling you, generic tablets are faster... I thought it was my internet at first but all my other devices work phenomenally fast. I first noticed this after I started using it but I thought I would give it a shot. I've decided to return this and exchange for another $50 tablet tomorrow. This is because I couldn't even watch a simple youtube video today.
Here's what I did like. It's name brand. The games are nice and mostly ad free. It uses Android 5.0 but uses their own app store. Reading books is great. Library app is kinda slow but still works.
Perfect cheap tablet for kids age 6 to 13 maybe...

from Franklin, Ma.
Tested this computer at the store and when you move the screen you can see the panel flex in the lower corner about an inch above the hinge on the edge of the screen on each side. This effect happens when just moving the screen back and forth even gently. Not sure how long the screen will last like that otherwise seemed pretty awesome for what it is. Too Bad I would love to have gotten two for my kids.

Lenovo's cheaply made
December 14, 2015
I have a Lenono G50-45 and can confirm the build quality is flimsy at least on their entry level laptops, don't even take it anywhere for two reasons: 1st I think it will break easily, 2nd the battery life is not good, even bought a Asus Chromebook because of these issues. Other issues were the wifi taking 6-8 mins to reconnect after sleep mode, cursor freezing (seem to went away after updating to Win 10) but everything else was fine with it but would much rather have a similar spec Asus that been on sale a couple times this year for $399 (not at Best Buy unfortunately )

By Pissedoffcustomer
Bought this tv on black Friday and purchased the 5 year warranty. After a couple days it started to have a pink cloud affect on the screen. Tonight it just shut off and had no picture but sound. Sat on hold with geek squad 2 seperate times. First time I was hung up on second time I was told to take it back in. When I purchased the warranty I was told with the size of tv they would come out to my house to repair or replace it. So I called the store and sat on hold another 20 min. When I finally talked to someone they said it's not there problem after it leaves the store and I would have to do whatever the geek squad tells me to do. Disappointed in lg and even more disgusted with best buy. Great customer service until you walk out the door than who cares

I bought this phone to see if it would work on a free government plan (Safelink) and did not want to pay a lot for premium phone but did want some premium features. The phone works perfectly on Safelink (I am extremely happy about not paying a cell bill anymore) plus does everything a $400 phone does. This phone outperforms my Samsung Galaxy Core Prime in every way and for $130 (on sale plus I had Best Buy points) . Great build quality, fast processor, plenty of storage and ram. Picture quality is good to me, since I'm use to entry level phones but does not compare to other premium phones.

4 out of 5Solid Construction, Excellent Display
By LJG500
Solid, above average aluminum construction and a very good, 1080p IPS display. Performance is good, but not exceptional with the Braswel N3160 CPU, however, 4GB of ram and 32 gb of flash memory are above average for a consumer grade Chrome laptop. Lack of SD card reader is puzzling- but having two USB 3 ports is helpful, for example, when connecting to an external hard drive. Be advised that some Chrome extensions can hamper performance, and if ad blocking is use, I would recommend Ublock Origin versus Adblock, as the later significantly decreases performance (Chrome Web Store). Finally, this laptop should run Android apps sometime in 2016/2017.

You are correct Adblock decreased performance so I installed Fair Adblock App which shows no slow down.

Was happy with the new purchase, until during week 3 the screen showed static and went blank. Had to reboot. Brand new phones should not crash. Bestbuy GeekSquad says as long as it rebooted, they won't do anything about it.

Experience legendary performance and sound of ASTRO Audio V2, with the convenience and freedom that comes without wires. The A50 Wireless + Base Station for PS5 /PS4 / PC delivers top-of-the-line acoustics, ergonomics, comfort and durability that gamers demand. The all-new Base Station provides clear, low-latency voice communication, while making headset pairing and charging simple. The ASTRO Command Center software allows gamers and streamers to tune every input and output parameter of the A50 precisely for their specific setup. Experience absolute audio immersion with the A50 Wireless + Base Station.
From past reviews on the A50s there was a charging station to headset connection issue. In this new A50 headset has that been fixed? Does the mic take out background noise up to how many DBs? Does the RF automatically select the best frequency?
Safeguard your home with this Arlo security camera system. Its 4K resolution provides maximum clarity so you don't miss a single detail, and a siren is integrated so you can fend off intruders either remotely or while at home. This Arlo security camera system is weather-resistant, so it's functional rain or shine.
Do the Ultra cameras have improved motion detection compared to the Pro 2? I currently get false alerts when the Pro 2 detects shadows from tree limbs. I would like to upgrade only if the Ultra has improved motion detection.
Can't answer your question regarding comparison, but I had the same issue with the Ultra regarding shadows/tree and resolved it by lowering motion sensitivity to 65% and limit the motion detection area.

I have a Cannon wireless printer and there was no app for it in the store but they do have a HP one and a print app that uses Google print server which mean you would have to log in to Google to print from your device.

Do Amazon Fires purchased through Best Buy contain the loaded Amazon screensaver you have to PAY to remove?
Yes it has a ad on lock screen.
Does not bother me at all in fact barely notice it once I unlock the screen, I would not pay to get rid of it since its only in screensaver mode but that's me.
