Crystal clear and straight forward.

The Plantronics RIG 500 Pro provides amazing sound, with ear vibrating lows and crystal clear highs so you can hear everything in game. The dual material earcups provide great noise isolation without leaving that sticky/sweaty feel of having the vinyl material against your skin like others. The self-adjusting headband keeps the headphones securely on the head without discomfort and the earcups are individually adjustable with three steps on the frame. I used one in the lowest and one in the highest and was able to comfortably keep one earcup off of one ear when I needed to hear people around me. So, wearing these for extended times was barely noticeable. These are very straight forward headphones, no batteries required, no special settings and no flashy lights like some headsets.
This headset comes with an activation code for Dolby Atmos. Dolby Atmos is available for Windows 10 and Xbox One although in order to use it with headphones it requires an activation fee or the included activation code and a Microsoft account. Dolby Atmos is best for true multi-speaker systems, however, does an amazing job of simulating spatial audio in headphones as well. With the RIG 500 Pro’s clarity it really surrounded me with the game environment and in some instances made me question if the sound was coming from outside the game.
The PC edition comes with a standard 4 ring, 3.5mm connector and has inline volume control. What threw me off at first is that the box lists “Inline volume and mute controls.” However, the mute is when you flip the detachable microphone up, not on the same inline control as the volume. The tip also had a nice long sheathing that allows me to plug it into my phone with case on, something other wired headsets typically required me to remove. Though the headset works with microphone on Xbox One, PS4 and my phone perfectly, it would not work on my PC. My PC still has separate MIC and Headphone ports and the headset does not come with the splitter cable. Some newer PCs have the capability to do both in one, as well as my Chromebook, however, a simple splitter is not hard to come by, is only needed for MIC input, and I actually had one already.

Just get a camcorder or an action cam
on June 18, 2018
Posted by: DavidJr
from Rineyville, KY
This little camera is interesting to say the least. I have never seen anything like it. It’s small, light, and easy to clip on anything that is no thicker than a half an inch or sit on any flat surface and let it record some random moments. Maybe I haven’t given the smart feature enough time to “learn” what to take, as it seems truly random. From slight subtle movement to absolutely nothing in the picture, see photo where I left it in my truck. Then you have to sort through it, finding what you hope it captured and wondering why it suggested that particular clip out of the multiple clips taken over a 3 hour period. Then, if you simply hit save, it saves the mp4 clip to your phone to let you find another way to edit it if you didn’t decide to edit a photo before you saved.
The resolution isn’t bad, but isn’t amazing either. Though the specifics of the camera are limited, it appears to save them at a 6MP resolution and the frames per second can leave some strange jitter effect in fast moving clips. It has an auto leveling feature, so it always keeps the camera upright, but if it happens to record while moving it rocks the video clip with it.
This is not an action camera by any means. However, it is about the size and format of one. For the price though, you would think that it is, as there are cheaper cameras that provide better resolution, full video capture, a display screen and fully waterproof.
I can’t recommend this to anyone, for any purpose. I would personally recommend getting a camcorder or an action camera for the price they are asking of this and then you can capture every moment, with sound, water resistance and removable storage.

Loud wireless audio with some interuptions
on June 11, 2018
Posted by: DavidJr
from Rineyville, KY
First impression of these is a reminder of the old individual Bluetooth earpieces that used to do phone calls only, as they are a bit large on the outside of the ear. However, despite their size they are very light. I was able to get a good fitting seal with the installed medium tips and the wings are flexible so that you can bend them to snuggly fit around your ear. These are surprisingly loud and provide deep lows and crisp highs. However, unless the music focuses on one end or the other it kind of washes out to meet the middle.
Directions tell you to power the right earpiece first to sync with your device. However, you can do either first and then power on the other to start “true wireless stereo” as it states with a voice. The point to this is that whichever piece is synced to the phone is the one that calls are handled on. However, either one can control the volume, power and track skip of both. As for calls, the audio wasn’t bad, but not all that great either. Callers on the other side kept complaining of breaking up at times.
On average I was able to get just short of 5 hours of play time out of them. With the charging case I was able to get 3+ more charges out of it. The last charge only provided about an hour. As for the design of the charging case however, it left a lot to desire. Having to individually connect each earpiece to a micro USB connector made it a bit more frustrating. Then to top it off, the earbuds are flipped, with the right on the left and the left on the right side of the case. Though it does allow you to charge the earbuds with a standard charger it just seems a bit outdated and tedious to have to do this when you have a case for them.
Besides actually enjoying the sound and fit of these, and the true wireless design, they have one major flaw that really makes these difficult to continue to use. They continue to randomly disconnect from each other causing a brief interruption in audio. At first I thought it had to do with wireless interference as they would drop every time I went near my neighbor’s house while mowing the grass. However, they then dropped out while I was out in the middle of nowhere about 4 times in a row. Come to find out, it only takes your hand over one ear to make them drop sync so they are really sensitive. They manage to pick up right where they were, maintaining connection with the Bluetooth device, but the interruption of your favorite song while you’re singing along is infuriating. It is like having a cheap pair of wired headphones and one of them is starting to go bad.

Weak volume level but clear microphone
on May 26, 2018
Posted by: DavidJr
from Rineyville, KY
I really wanted to like these headphones. When you tack on the name Elite you think top of the line product. I'm not saying these are bad, but they weren't elite in my opinion.
The one thing that was top notch for these is the microphone during calls. I have had plenty of wireless headphones and they range from muffled to too much background noise. However, these really did a great job during calls with clarity and preventing background noise. However, the biggest problem I have with them is their volume. It is so low that even though my friends could hear me better on a call, I had a hard time hearing them. At first I thought maybe it was my phone being the problem, but with everything maxed out it just wasn't loud enough. I like headphones to be loud enough that I should need to use the volume to keep them from being too loud. I even downloaded the app to see if I could enable an advanced setting or something.
Upon first power on, there is a nice voice prompt to help you through Bluetooth pairing. Tones are given with volume max and power down, with some voice assistance options when pressing the center button on the microphone. Besides the volume level, audio sounds clear, but missing crisp highs and deep lows. Maybe it was just the volume level, but some deep bass was missing all together.
As for the app, the packaging barely mentions it and nothing in the quick guide. A quick search in Google Play for Jabra will return with Jabra Sound+, however, you also need a separate application called Jabra Services when you go to run it. Once installed you can connect to the headphones and update them to their latest firmware. Options in the app are basic, with a simple EQ, some call audio settings and minor choices on audio prompts. The assistance does allow for caller ID to be read in a voice when you receive a call. However, the app didn't help increase the volume level as I had hoped. Plus the Jabra Services application is always running in the background so it can read the caller ID.
As for design, the around the neck band is soft rubber and surprisingly did not grab the small hairs like some others brands have. It rests lightly around the neck and keeps in place pretty well. When not in use the headphones connect magnetically and turn off to conserve power. They instantly turn back on, connect and with the press of the center button you can get right back to what you were doing. The fit of the ear buds are pretty comfortable, required a little twist to lock in and make a seal, but with the volume level really felt like they needed to be further in the ear.
For battery life I was getting over 7.5 hours of straight Bluetooth audio. Of course it can last longer with intermittent use, such as just for answering calls. As for charging I was unable to get them to charge using any USB port on my laptop. I asked the question, and I see others are able to use their PC, I can charge other devices with the same PC, so I have no idea what the issue is. If I used a phone charger they were able to get a full charge in about 2 hours.
If these were a bit louder in volume levels I might consider them a higher rating, but when I have cheaper headsets that can do everything else pretty much the same with better audio, I can't recommend these.

Smooth shave in or out of the shower
on May 9, 2018
Posted by: DavidJr
from Rineyville, KY
The Philips Norelco Electric Shaver 3600 is a convenient smooth shave in or out of the shower. A full charge will last multiple shaves over several days and with just 5 minutes of being plugged in you have enough charge to get another shave if you had let it die. The three multi-direction comfort cut heads contour to every shape of your face for a smooth shave. There is an included stubble guard that creates a 3 day stubble look, however, you loose that directional contour and it takes longer to get an even shave. There is also a pop out edge trimmer to get those sharp edges. With it being waterproof it is easy to pop the top open and rinse out. The key to electric razors like this is continued use. If you are just switching from a blade razor to an electric razor, it may not feel as close. However, after a few days of your skin healing the shave will feel smoother. Also, if not used on a regular basis the hair can become too long to shave. This is not a fault of this razor, just something of all razors of this style.

Get the PC application first!
on April 24, 2018

The Turtle Beach Stream Mic looks like a professional grade microphone. However, when you pull it out of the box, the microphone feels extremely light and cheap. The nice thing though, it includes a boom adapter and a weighted stand that does a great job at holding it steady.
Though this Stream Mic is better than a standard headset microphone in clarity, I wasn't overly thrilled with it. Straight out of the box, hooking it up to a Windows 10 PC it was recognized and after selecting it as my microphone device it worked as intended. I then joined some chat with friends and the first thing they mentioned was that they heard a lot background noise and I sounded very distance. I tried going through the different Adaptive Mic Patterns and changed the sensitivity from high to low and the only thing they noticed is that I was now quieter. As for the background noise, you could hear my computer fans even through the microphone is nowhere near it and as for distance, though it was picking up my voice, the sweet spot seems to be within arms reach on high sensitivity while it needs to be near your face, like on a boom, in low.
While I had it on the PC I decided to check out the Turtle Beach Audio Hub, which has a slight mention on the box for “additional Polar Patterns” and in the small manual about additional settings and firmware updates. Once installed you have to switch the microphone from PS4/PC to Xbox, which I found odd. You then may need to download drivers, which the link is provided at the bottom right corner of the application. Once loaded you find additional settings. Voice EQ, which has Natural Voice, Deep Voice, Deep and Bright Voice and Mid-Range Voice where each of these have a slight change to high/mid/low levels of input. There is also Mic Monitor Level and Mic Record Level. There are two optional polar patterns, Extreme Hyper-Cardioid or Super Cardioid. Once you select either of them, a new color, white, shows up on the ring on the front of the microphone. This now becomes a fifth option when you cycle through the patterns when pressing the button on the back. This setting did reduce a good bit of the fan noise that it was picking up in the first place, however it was not until I discovered the Automatic Noise Gate setting through this application that made it so much better. This option essentially removed all of the background noises when I wasn't talking. It didn't pick up my key clicking, like I had before and especially did not keep the sound of my computer fan running. There were times though that it sounded like it cut a word short here and there. A couple more options in the application include Clip Indicator, which turns the ring red if you get so loud that it clips the audio, and LED Blackout Mode, which turns the light ring off on the front. You can also updated the firmware, which mine was on the latest, see additional information and enable Live Test Mode, which is essential when testing the features as the PC does not see the microphone while it is in Xbox mode.
Hooking it up to my Xbox One was recognized as a headset. It picked up audio just as it did on the PC, however, now that I used the PC to make the necessary changes it didn't pick up all of the noise like it did to start with. The problem I had at first though was that the Xbox treats this completely like a headset, so that meant it was sending chat audio to the headset and I wasn't hearing the party till I plugged in headphones. Then I realized I could hear myself, instantly, so it wasn't causing me to stutter from hearing myself delayed, but it was loud. This is where having the PC application came back into play and the Mic Monitor Level had to be reduced. The nice thing though, the changes are applied to the microphone, so they remain when switched between devices. This also allowed for game audio you be passed through to the headset. Plus, since the USB cord is 10 ft long it basically allowed me to use my wired headphones to my Xbox instead of through the controller. Though I have a PS4, I don't use it often and would assume that it would work the same as it did on the Xbox.
The biggest issue with this microphone is that you have to have a PC if you want to get the best out of it. Just the ability to change the Mic Monitor Level and the Noise Gate literally changed my review from a 2 star to a 4 star. The fact that it is sensitive is great if you wanted to catch every sound in the room. However, for streaming or chat, you really don't need to hear the PC fans and keyboard clicking as it is a distraction. You also don't need to hear yourself louder than the other party members. As for the various Adaptive Mic Patterns, they do have slight variation, but even recording and switching between them, they weren't that noticeable. For a external started microphone that has a proffesional appearance, this one isn't bad, so long as you find your settings through a PC.

Vacuum and Mop in one
on April 24, 2018
Posted by: DavidJr
from Rineyville, KY
The CrossWave Pet Pro is one of those devices I wish I had this past winter. With the combination of snow, mud and a dog I constantly had little prints of mud in the house. My main floor is laminate wood so it usually required a quick sweep before breaking out the mop and bucket. Now I can just put some warm water and a little bit of the Bissle Multisurface Pet floor cleaning solution, in what looks like a sports bottle, and do all the cleaning in one.
The Crosswave is super simple to put together when it comes out of the package. It comes with a spare brush and two sample bottles of cleaner that will get your through about 4 large area cleanings. The directions may feel a bit overwhelming when you notice all the details for cleaning, but it’s not much more than another other liquid based cleaning system. The main key to realize is that you never want to let anything wet and dirty sit around for long. The tray that it came with makes for an easy rinse of the brush and prevents the little drips of water that will eventually come down as it sits for a bit from settling on your floor.
The packaging shows the multi-surface as sealed wood, area rugs, tile and laminate. Rugs are meant as area rugs and not carpet. However, I have used it to clean some low pile carpet without issue. It’s just a little hard to push if the carpet is any thicker and it’s not designed to be a carpet cleaner. My basement is mostly standard tile and was a bit painful as it caught several of the tile edges. You just have to take it easy in hopes not to break something.
This has essentially replaced my mop and broom and made cleaning a lot easier. I prefer a wet cleaning system as it helps pick up dirt and dust instead of stirring it up like a dry vacuum or broom. The more it is used, the cleaner the waste water is beginning to look, telling me that my house is starting to stay a whole lot cleaner.

Long lasting battery
on April 14, 2018
Posted by: DavidJr
from Rineyville, KY
With 6 different tip styles/sizes and 3 fins it may take some experimenting to get the right fit. However, once I found the right combination they lock in and feel pretty comfortable at that. I usually don't like wearing in-ear headphones for an extended amount of time, but these do not cause the strain that others have. The cable is light and thin and with the cable holder you can tighten it more to your head or attach the clip to keep it attached to your shirt collar.
The sound quality on these is pretty solid and while pressing both volume buttons at the same time you can change through three different EQ sounds to suite your desire. The volume controls are light however seem a little out of place when trying to make changes on the move, where the controls are so far back behind your ear. This also leads to the one major flaw, the sound quality of the microphone always makes me sound distant on a phone call and the other person having issues hearing me, even in a quite environment.
There are a few other quarks with this headset, such as the unique charger, which is extremely short which makes for a few limited charging positions, such as on a counter or in a computer. Otherwise it kind of dangles from a wall socket charger. Also, you really need to keep track of it as it is unique and not like you can just use your phone charging cable to replace it. However, it holds solid with a magnet. The carrying case also makes for a really tight squeeze, but is a nice way to help keep everything together. Besides, it hasn't needed a whole lot of charging with the long lasting battery.

Surprisingly loud and deep bass to size
on April 5, 2018
Posted by: DavidJr
from Rineyville, KY
This speaker is a true party boosting device. Small and light enough to throw into bag and resistant enough to pull out anywhere. The IP67 rating makes it so you can take it to the beach, lake, river or boat and not worry about it getting splashed on, soaked or covered in sand. It’s really easy to sync to a device via Bluetooth and with NFC it can be done with just a tap. There is also an Aux audio in if you don’t have that capability, but you are removing your water resistance if you do this by leaving the back cover open and connections exposed.
As for party boosting, like Will Ferrell and Christopher Walken once said on a SNL skit, “I gotta have more cowbell.” It makes me wonder how they came up with the idea of smacking the speaker and giving you sound effects. With a double smack on the back, or enabling through the Music Center App, you can enable 5 locations,( top/bottom, both sides, and front) to have various sounds to include scratch, snare, kick drum and cowbell. Now take that fact that you can connect a bunch of these with wireless party chain and you can have a whole party of people making their own beats to whatever is playing. To spice things up a little more they have LED lighting to go with the beat. I just wish I had more of them and knew a good flash mob group because it would be fun to see and hear.
The sound from this little thing is truly amazing. Deep bass, clear crisp highs and no distortion or vibration sounds. Compared to the SRS-XB40 that I have from last year, it is definitely smaller and not as loud, but it stands out amongst others I have seen of this size. With that though, I can’t get these two speakers to add each other so they can play as one for the likes of me. I’d imagine it would be easier from the same models and the older speaker doesn’t support the Wireless Party Chain, but they should still add as it shows in the app and online guides.
Besides the difficulty of adding the two different speakers, the provided instructions are very limited, but the Music Center App does link to the website which helps with most questions. I also did not have a good experience with using it to answer calls as the audio kept cutting out for the people on the other side, as if noise cancellation just cancelled everything. I’ll stick to the phone or headphones for that purpose.

Light compared to size, but difficult fit.
on March 25, 2018
Posted by: DavidJr
from Rineyville, KY
Though in the package these looked very bulky, after taking them out they were surprisingly light. I really enjoy the quality of the sound and decent bass for earbuds. However, that is really dependent on getting a good fit and to keep that fit they hurt my ears. Compared to other earbuds where the rubber is used to help fill in the space and flex to your ear, these only have rubber bumped texture and a small fin that varies between the only two sizes provided. Essentially the rubber just provides a grip on the large bud which could be difficult for small ears but not enough for larger ears. The wire on the other hand is really light and did not feel to rub like some do. The controls are on the short nub coming from the earbud and are simple, however hard to adjust while jogging as there is no flex like those that have controls on the wire. But, at the same time you don't have something swinging under your ear like those models. On average they lasted over 7 hours of straight Bluetooth streaming and held their charge after sitting a few days powered off.
As for their sound quality and battery life these are great for the price range. The size and fitting might not be for everyone though.

Once you connect the Gear VR to the phone it starts a download for the software. There appears to be no other way to initiate the install. Once the Oculus software is installed, games and applications can be purchased through the application or from inside the store while wearing the device.

By Donna
Wasn't told at time of purchase that certain phones were required to use this device. After purchase was when this was discovered. During this time we purchased a new home and was moving. After the move, tried to return the item because I didn't want to purchase a new phone. The only way the store would accept this return was to give me a gift card. I didn't want a gift card that I would most likely not use. Not happy with this policy at all. Also have made posts to FB in regards to your policy. I will not EVER enter your store again or make another purchase from you online. This is NOT how you treat a customer and expect more business from them.

Yes, both the SSD and 1 module of RAM can be upgraded on this laptop. However, there is only one M.2 and one RAM slot, so the current devices will have to be removed. Max RAM is 24GB meaning a 16GB chip can replace the current 8GB as 8GB is on board.

Can the ram be upgraded? (To ASUS: There are currently two different answers given by you on this questionboard!)
The RAM can be upgraded. There is only 1 RAM slot though, with 8GB on board and 8GB that is user replaceable. This can be upgraded to 24GB total, so a 16GB PC4-3200 chip can be installed in place of the current 8GB.

Will this laptop support Xbox?
It is a Windows 10 computer and supports Xbox in the way that any other Windows 10 computer does. It does come with a month free of Xbox Game Pass which gives you access to PC Game Pass games. It does not play Xbox games that are not already in the Microsoft store for PC if that is what you are asking. You still need an Xbox if you want to play the game streamed to this computer.

Does it support controller use? (Xbox one, PS4, or custom versions of them)?
Any controller you can use with Windows 10 will work with this computer as is. Wirelessly some PlayStation controllers use Bluetooth and Xbox controllers usually need an adapter.
