Limited use tinnitus simulator
on November 28, 2018
Posted by: DavidJr
from Rineyville, KY
These headphones are light, fairly comfortable over-the-ear and simple to set up. The range easily allowed me to walk around my two story house without interruption. They are decent for hooking up to a non-wireless capable devices and letting you listen quietly on your own. You can connect with TOSLink optical cable (not included) using PCM only, or with RCA jacks and the included 3.5mm adapter to RCA. So, you can essentially have two audio sources that you can switch between with a button on the headphones.
However, there are a few problems I have with this headset. The base station is larger than my cable modem, but it does hold the headphones for charging, the only way to charge them. The images on the box show a good comparison of how big it is. They are for a small use situation that can be achieved with a Bluetooth adapter and a cheaper set of headphones and those headphones could then be used with any other Bluetooth device. These headphones are essentially Bluetooth, but only work with the base station. The sound quality isn’t the worst I have ever heard, but there is an awful metallic echo sound every time the sound goes quiet. You can simulate the sound by tapping on the outside of the headphone. It is one of those sounds that once you hear it, you can’t unhear it and your ears feel like they are ringing the whole time you are listening to something. They seem cheaply made due to the material and weight, but they handled some good twists and bends without breaking.
If I could pair the headphones with my phone and then switch over to my TV connected to the base station, on the opposite side of the room, I might have considered them a little more useful. However, the metallic echo sound is what really throws me off with these and unless you like feeling like you have tinnitus, it's not worth it.

Pro features with guided steps
on November 17, 2018
Posted by: DavidJr
from Rineyville, KY
Adobe products have always been known for their high end capabilities, but never for their interface. Like other Adobe products I have used, it’s not so easiest to get around Photoshop Elements 2019, however they have simplified editing. The application opens with a web like interface that has a bunch of “Try This” and “What’s new” tiles to take you to specific sites. It has a section for auto creations once you’ve directed it to your files. Then three buttons which open other applications for organizer, photo editor, or if you have it installed, video editor, Premiere. It will continue to advertise itself if you don’t have it.
For the organizer I fully expected to point it at my photo folder and be given all kinds of easy ways to sort them. However, it did not turn out quite like that. It took all my pictures and provided the folders they were in, not in subfolders like I already had them stored. So for instance a wedding folder has subfolders in it as groom, bride, family but now instead of searching for the wedding I have to find the individual folders.
After a fair amount of time, it has collected faces for me to identify. Not 100% accurate and some online photo storage services have done a better job of identifying family members over the years of them changing. Sorting by places or events it gives an option to “Group By Date” which grouped mine as Nov 2018 - Dec 2002 in one group of 24,000 pictures and another group of misdated pictures from 1601. A slider lets you change Min (default), Max and something in between. Basically from no real grouping to almost each day as a group and a mix in between that ranges from one day to 5 years per group. I’m sure with time I can manually fix all of them.
The photo editor portion of Elements is pretty powerful and with the guided option makes it a bit more user friendly with examples of the difference in effects. There are simple edits in the Quick category that can do all of the modification in one quick click. More complex options in the Guided category that require you to use the magic tool and isolate the subject. However, instead of having to search for the tools, it is right there as a step for you. Before finalizing it also helps you fine tune the picture by adding and removing the effect or picture. During this though, you can use more complex options and if you feel like you want to have even more control, you can go into Expert Mode.
Overall, I do like Adobe Photoshop Elements as it does not require a subscription like the majority of their other products. However, there are some free and cheaper products out there that can do pretty much the same function. The guided effects is the best, since I don't have to go look for a video online on how to do it. Use the 30 day trail period online and see it it works for you.

Quick touch up with no cord
on November 8, 2018
Posted by: DavidJr
from Rineyville, KY
The Shark ION X40 is a fairly small, lightweight cordless stick vacuum. Easy to just grab it and get a mess up or a quick touch up without having to unwind the cord of a standard vacuum. The DuoClean brush is great for cleaning hard floors and carpets. The standard mode power is ok if you are just trying to clean up a light dusting of crumbs or something. However, to pick up anything of size the ION Boost does the job. Like any battery operated item though, battery life is dependant on use. Using it with the brushroll and ION boost pretty much the whole time you will get about 10-15 minutes of use. To do a quick touch up of my first floor it was plenty of time to get the whole floor and furniture. Though it comes with a crevice tool and upholstery tool, it has nowhere to store them. However, interchanging the parts is easy, even detaching the brushroll from the wand to reach high or low areas. The chargers is plugged directly into the battery, so it can be charged while still in the vacuum or separate on its own. For instance, the closet where you store typically does not have a plug, so you can pull the battery out and charge it elsewhere. There is also a drop in charger sold separately.
This is in no way a replacement for a larger stronger vacuum, but it’s priced like it is. That is the one thing that puts me off with it. It’s like getting half a regular vacuum for twice the price. However, not having to go back and forth with a cord and plug may be worth the cost for quick touch ups.

Print from practically anything
on November 8, 2018
Posted by: DavidJr
from Rineyville, KY
A reasonably priced all in one multi-function inkjet printer. After a few minutes of powering on, installing the ink cartridges and letting it run initial calibration I was able to print from my phone without ever connecting it to my network. With NFC I tapped my phone to the front and it led me straight to the iPrint & Scan app in the app store. Once installed it was easy to scan documents and photos to my phone, print documents or photos and even arrange for a fax, but I don’t have a phone line.
Connecting to my wireless network was just as simple and my computers easily found the printer for a quick setup. You can also use USB and wired LAN cables and the ports for those are in the strangest place. You have to lift the scan bed up and run the cables through a channel to connect them. However, this does help keep a low profile for the printer since you can push it flush to the wall. The only time you need to access the back is in a jam situation or if you want to use the single sheet manual feed. The manual feed is convenient if you don’t want to change out the paper in the tray, but it is single sheet only and if you are already tight on space, requires it to be pulled out.
Even with all the other devices connected, you can choose to print from services like Google Drive, Dropbox and OneDrive directly from the printer menu. There are also some other pre-formatted items that you can print like calendars, stationary and certificates.
Print quality is not bad and fairly quick, however, it can be better if you change print settings from normal to fine, though it does take longer and more ink. Printing photos is where it made a real difference to me as normal looked a bit faded and washed out while fine had sharper edges and deeper color.
It never failed that my kids would come home from school one day and need something random printed, scanned, copied and have it on their phone or laptop. With so many ways to connect to this printer it makes it easy to just get it done, even if the device isn’t on my network.

Clean and fresh
on November 4, 2018
Posted by: DavidJr
from Rineyville, KY
Surprisingly, for the price the BISSELL CleanView does its job well. Even after having recently vacuumed my carpet with a different vacuum, it still managed to get more pet hair. Having such a large clear canister also makes it visible just how much you are picking up.
Putting the BISSELL Cleanview together wasn’t difficult, but does require a phillips head screwdriver. All of the tools snap onto the vacuum, however, the flexible crevice tool that is supposed to go into the extension wand is a bit tight due to it being rubberized. It requires a little force to get it inside so that it will snap in place for storage.
The triple action brush roll has three types of bristles on it that seems to help get different textures of materials. Having the clear plastic over that brush roll is nice as well, as you can easily see if something is getting tangled without having to disassemble it. However, if you do have to get the brush roll out, that is six screws to remove on the bottom.
The tools include the Flexible Crevice Tool which has two settings by twisting it. One that is like a typical crevice tool and uses the tip for vacuuming and the other which uses the side for broader strokes. The whole tool is covered in rubber so it manages to grab hair pretty well. The Dusting Brush is pretty standard. The Pet TurboEraser Tool is interesting. It uses the power of the suction to create spin on the brushroll. It’s not like a powered brushroll as it will stop with any friction, so it takes a little getting used to. However, it did a great job at getting the hair off of my stairs.
Having the cord rewind makes things a lot easier when it comes to finishing up. Just a push of a button and all 27 feet of the cord is cleaned up for you. The down side to the large clear tank and the rewind is that you aren’t getting under much with it. The vacuum tilts and swivels well and will get slightly under the edge of beds and table, but not much. You can easily pull off the hose, snap on the wand extension and any one of the tools though.
The tank is easy to remove and empty and the filters are easily accessible for cleaning. I also really enjoy the Febreze Pet Odor Eliminator Filter that is included with this model. I don’t know how long it will last, but using this vacuum with this filter is refreshing and probably something I will end up replacing as it does wear out. As far as wear, this also comes with a 4 year limited warranty which is surprising as even higher priced vacuums don’t tend to come with one that long.
If you have pets and carpet, the BISSELL Cleanview Swivel Rewind Pet Select is certainly worth it. With the added Ferbreze filter, I just want to vacuum to freshen up my home.

Too bulky to be handheld, to weak to be upright
on October 31, 2018
Posted by: DavidJr
from Rineyville, KY
Maybe it’s because this is the first stick vacuum I have ever attempted to use, but I was not impressed.
For the good side of things, this vacuum can get into places not many others can. When using it as an upright you can lay it nearly flat and get under low tables. You can detach the Zero M cleaner head from the bottom of the wand, attach the pet multi-tool and then reach your ceiling. It has an LED light on the main unit and a couple of them on the cleaner head. It was super simple to assemble and just as easy to convert into the various configurations and empty the canister. It is fairly light weight, but bulky in size.
Essentially this is like one of them handheld battery operated vacuums, but with a 30 foot cord. Though you don’t have to worry about charge and potential loss of power, this one isn’t much more powerful. Just trying to vacuum pet dander off of my couch left a lot to desire. Having the XL capacity dust cup is also what adds to the bulkiness of it and makes using it as a handheld even worse. It comes with a precision duster tool, which includes a short hose. Had they made that hose possible to attach the pet multi-tool or crevice tool it might have impressed me a bit more, but you can’t. This little duster tool made me feel like I should be dusting doll furniture and the way it is designed you can’t get very strong suction with it, so using it in crevices was useless.
Being that the main piece of the vacuum is intended to be handheld, when using it as an upright, it is extremely top heavy. There’s no letting go of this while you are vacuuming and then coming back to it. You must lay it down or take it apart every time or it will fall over. Leaning it on a wall works sometimes, but the slightest off balance and it is in the floor anyways. This also leads to odd storage. Though it has a wall mount clip, if you aren’t using that, you clip it to the wand, then wrap the cord around the wand and store like a regular vacuum. When stored like this, it actually took more space than my Shark Duo Clean upright (pictured).
Another thing, and maybe this is just my unit, but there are three filters, two inside and one on the bottom. The two inside can be accessed from the top that says “Clean filters monthly” while the one on the bottom is near the plug and just says “Clean filter.” Once I removed the cover from that filter, it continues to pop off, especially when the vacuum gets a hard suction and releases quickly. So I have this cover and filter just randomly popping off the handheld unit all the time.
I like Shark, I have an Ion Bot and the Duo Clean, but this Rocket Zero-M handheld stick vacuum does not do it for me. It’s too cumbersome to use as a regular vacuum, too bulky to use as a handheld vacuum and really not more powerful than a cordless vacuum.

Perfect desk position required*
on October 28, 2018
Posted by: DavidJr
from Rineyville, KY
Like I said in one of my other mouse reviews, a mouse is kind of like a fancy glove. You really have to try them on to see the fit. The Logitech MX Vertical is one of those mice that you really need to try in your normal working position.
The MX Vertical has a very interesting angle to it and in a perfect positioned desk, it does relieve pressure on your wrist from the normal angle of a standard mouse. The grip is quite comfortable and the whole mouse is extremely light. It glides really smooth on a flat surface and the added capability to adjust the DPI makes it so that the smallest of movement can move quite far. With having three ways to connect, you can also connect to three different computers and switch between them with a click of a button.
With that though, I found that the weight of controlling the mouse was moved from the wrist to my forearm which leads to the “perfect positioned desk” above. If you are slightly higher or lower than level with the mouse, it really becomes more strain on the arm in general. In some positions I felt like I was trying to grip the mouse too much, in others I couldn’t move down without moving my whole arm. The grip position is also something that will take some getting used to, especially if you use the forward/backward buttons above the thumb a fair bit as I felt like I was letting go of the mouse just to click them.
Now, I’m not saying this is a bad mouse. Just that is has to be a very specific position in order to get the “10% reduction in muscular strain” that it mentions. Pretty much exactly as you see it on the back of the box. If you don’t have a properly positioned desk like that, then this mouse will cause more pain than relief.

Game on!
on October 22, 2018
Posted by: DavidJr
from Rineyville, KY
Mice are kind of like fancy gloves, you really need to try them on to see if they fit you right. The Logitech G502 Hero is one of those that you really need to put your hands on and give it a bit of your play style.
I really like the space age look of this mouse and love the grip as the thumb rests on the mouse instead of the mousepad. But, I found myself bumping buttons when I didn’t intend to and it might just be because of my lanky fingers. There are 11 programmable buttons, but with the click of one of the buttons you can change between profiles allowing you to program each of those buttons with other functions, or use g-shift to only change when that combo is pushed. However, keep in mind the left and right mouse click and the scroll wheel clicks count in that.
The highly adjustable DPI and the ability to shift that on the fly really gives a nice edge in gaming and image editing. I also enjoy the ability to add weights to help give you exactly the feel that you are looking for. Maybe you like it light, maybe heavy, but you can adjust it 3.6g at a time to find that balance. Another feature I never realized I wanted is the ability to unlock the scroll wheel for smooth spin. Like spinning the wheel on Wheel of Fortune at your fingertips, giving yourself an infinite scroll. The cord is also extra long and threaded giving a sturdy no kink feel to it.
The Logitech Gaming Software, once downloaded from their site, allows you to program each of the buttons, adjust the DPI, change the lighting and other options. However, the software is part of the reason why I’m dropping one star (which I wish could be half). It’s overly complicated when you just need it for a simple settings. The software is meant for pretty much all Logitech gaming hardware, which is good if you have other devices. It even links you to other gaming apps for specific games. Then when you click on the help link, it takes you to a 130 page document that puts a lot of that hardware in the same place if that is any indication of too much in one place. It’s not that I hate the software, just that I felt like I spent way too long trying to get what I wanted and all this other stuff was just in the way.
If you are looking for a highly programmable, comfortable, and customizable mouse, the Logitech G502 Hero is certainly worth giving it a go.

Feel safe, but not for the tech savvy.
on October 7, 2018
Posted by: DavidJr
from Rineyville, KY
If you need an application to try and protect you from nearly every type of malicious computer product out there, with zero technical know how, then Bitdefender Total Security 2019 is for you. However, if you work with uncommon programs or like to maintain technical control of your system, I’d avoid this one.
Bitdefender Total Security takes the word “total” pretty literal. Ranging from standard anti-virus and anti-malware to file and password control. There is no doubt that my computer felt safer with it installed. However, it also felt like I lost all say so in the matter. Even when a specific program was triggered and put into the quarantine, if you restore it the file is automatically added to the exception list. Then the malware triggers, with no exception or the advanced threat triggers, again with no exception other than to turn those features completely off. Defeating the purpose behind them.
The same goes for having it installed on an android phone. One application has triggered the Malware Scanner, again because it is an uncommon application, but there is no way to exclude it. So, it sits there with an issue warning at all times.
The phone application does allow for multiple protection features, such as malware scanner, web protection, app lock and anti-theft. Some of the features require them to be enabled and it will remind you about them pretty regularly if you don’t have them enabled. Just like nearly every time I access the web, I get the VPN notification.
The app lock feature adds a second layer of protection, for example, if someone gets your phone while it is unlocked, they can now read your messages or wreak havoc on other accounts that trust your phone. Though the app lock feature keeps them from doing anything in the application, it is slightly delayed, so anything that was already displayed can be seen for a split second. If you have the lock mode set for “Lock every time” it is the most secure, but highly obnoxious when you are just using your phone and switching between apps as you have to scan your finger or PIN every time it is brought to the front, again. Using it as fingerprint was the easiest, but found that it caused issues with other programs that use fingerprint to unlock as that split second delay caused interruption for the other application.
If you haven’t been to a site called haveibeenpwned, then you probably haven’t seen your emails that have possibly been compromised in online leaks. Bitdefender uses similar information that is on that site to help you track account privacy. However, they only provide the site name and a date, give no further details, are missing several and show some as repeats.
Bottom line is that Bitdefender Total Security is great for keeping my parents and kids devices safe, as I don’t want them changing anything while avoiding any malicious content. If you desire more technical control or work with non-standard applications, this one is a bit difficult to work with.

Average sound, safe around water
on September 30, 2018
Posted by: DavidJr
from Rineyville, KY
The Ultimate Ears MegaBoom 3 is a nice any environment type speaker. It is specifically designed to be out in the open and everyone around it to enjoy. It has 360 audio, though it is just standard stereo speakers pointing opposite of each other, so you still get stereo effect. It is waterproof and rugged, great for active environments. It is actually surprisingly light for the size of it. It will float if it falls in water, but don’t expect it to be worth playing in water like the box almost makes it look like a feature. There is a small loop on it that is perfect for a carabiner so you can keep it secured.
The design is simple, nothing flashy, not even a big brand logo. Buttons are simple and the giant + an - volume buttons make it so that anyone can figure it out. However, they are a bit awkward to use. Plus, the tone at max volume kind of scared me the first time as it is mutes the audio playing to make a loud beep.
As for sound quality, it’s not the worst I have heard, but not the best either. If there is a mix of highs and lows you can hear it flutter. It can’t handle deep lows or piercing highs, but it does alright with trying to make the mids sound like “thundering bass”. If I were just going for pure audio clarity, I would avoid this one.
The power brick that comes with this is huge, but at least the plug flips in to make it a bit smaller. The supplied USB cable is decently long, but I’ve already bent the end that goes into the power module on accident. As it look reinforced, it slightly extends beyond that reinforcement making it easy to damage. There is a separate wireless charger that may be different, but I haven’t seen it, but you can see how it is used with the little indention on the bottom.
TLDR: if you are planning on taking this outside, around water, in an area where you might be concerned with it falling and getting wet, but want to listen to music, it might be worth it. If you are just using around the house, for the price, there are better.

Very unhappy about not getting the GearVR programs
By Sunshower
I tried many different ways to find out how to download the Gear VR programs by going to Samsung and Oculus online. All unsuccessful!!
June 3, 2016
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.

Need certain phones to use this.
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.
It is labeled on the box and the site details

It says on the front and back of the box, "Compatible with Note5/S6 edge+/S6/S6 edge" and anywhere you look online it says it as well.

What phone are you using and is it up to date? The Samsung Gear VR is only compatible with Galaxy S7, Galaxy S7 edge, Galaxy Note5, Galaxy S6 edge+, Galaxy S6, Galaxy S6 edge and a software update from your carrier is required for S6 edge+ and Note 5.

The Apex 3 gaming keyboard was built for the needs of gamers, with water and dust resistance for protection against spills and accidents, as well as premium features like low friction whisper quiet gaming switches, 10-zone RGB customization, a premium magnetic wrist rest, multimedia controls, and gaming-grade keys.
 

Can you plug it into your Ps4?

Yes, you can plug this into a PS4 and it will work as any other USB keyboard. It will return to its default configuration and not retain anything you may have personalized through the SteelSereies Engine software though.
