Absolute must for 360° Room-scale
on July 6, 2017
Posted by: DavidJr
Oculus now supports room-scale VR and is capable with the 2 cameras include with the Rift+Touch. However, to get the maximum coverage and least errors a third camera is required. The latest addition of the Oculus software will detect the third camera and guide you on room set-up. Even though it states USB 2.0 or greater, the supplied extension cable will force any USB 3.0 port down to 2.0 and slow the other ports on that USB hub down. So, it is recommended to keep the headset and two front cameras on USB 3.0 or greater and the third camera on a standard USB 2.0 port.

Not bad for the price
on July 6, 2017
Posted by: DavidJr
Had these JLab Audio - JBuds Pro Wireless In-Ear Earbud Headphones been out a few years ago, I may have called them amazing. However, there are many brands of similar style headphones now and this one feels slightly aged with the large battery/button dangling down from the right ear. For casual use they are not bad, but for more active use the constant feeling that something is dangling and tapping my neck gets a bit irritating.
The sound quality is better than some other headphones in this price range, not bad, but not amazing. The battery life, is about 6 hours if playing music at max volume straight through. If you play a bit here and there with the headphones being on standby for calls and such, they last much longer.
There is an included clip to help with cable management and I found it rather essential. When loose the short cable would become unbalanced on my head and would grab when turning my head essentially pulling one earbud out. However, the clip also allows you to leave one earbud out without pulling on the other.
With a little trial and error, I was able to find a comfortable fit for the buds with the supplied pieces. I felt like without the fins though, the right earbud was always going to get pulled out from the battery box. The fins helped add a little weight distribution and actually made for a better fit over all.
For the price range though, these are decent little headphones.

Big device, little sound
on June 26, 2017
Posted by: DavidJr
This Samsung 3-Channel Hi-Res soundbar provides crystal clear full spectrum audio with a variety of ways to connect. It has optical digital-in with included optical cable, 4K HDMI pass-through with Audio Return Channel (ARC) support, Bluetooth and WiFi capability. The remote is simple and pretty much a plastic version of the QLED TV remote. However, for the price and size of this soundbar, I really expected more.
At max volume, 100, it really wasn’t that loud and nowhere near the bass of an actual subwoofer. It certainly was not “earth-shattering” as their advertisement says. As a matter of fact, the built in speakers of the 55” Samsung Q7 were louder and had more bass. The graduation of volume from 50 to 100 was so low that it was hard to tell the difference in levels unless you jumped them rapidly. This soundbar looks to be made for the new Samsung TVs, with the brushed metal look and it has the exact same power cord with the ability to provide power to the TV with a separate purchased cord. Yet, if it isn’t better than the built in speakers, what is the point of having it?
I tried this on a different TV, which really would not have fit for it as it stands too high, but it too was not louder than the built in speaker. I also had issues with using the PlayStation 4 Pro, my only external 4K HDR device, with passing HDR through the soundbar. The video would just flicker until I turned HDR off on the TV, only having standard 4K enabled. I could not prove this is fault of the soundbar as I don’t have another device, but I confirmed the cables supported HDR directly with the TV and PS4 with no issues.
For a separate purchase, there are wireless rear speakers that can provide surround sound. With just the front bar, it does provide “room-filling” sound with a simulated surround effect without distortion. Yet the volume levels leave a lot to desire as any external noise could easily drown out the levels this soundbar puts out.
You can connect your devices via Bluetooth or WiFi using the Samsung Multiroom app. The Bluetooth connection worked just fine, but limited range as with any Bluetooth connection. The WiFi connection does provide for a greater range, however, I had multiple disconnects and had to go through the steps of finding the speaker several times. Even while playing music, I was still disappointed in the volume level, especially when I have a cheaper Bluetooth speaker that is louder with more bass.
In the end, I feel there are much better options at a lower cost and for the price you can get the other brands wireless rear speakers as well.

More speed than my ISP can handle
on May 25, 2017
Posted by: DavidJr
from Elizabethtown, KY
Quick simple setup and all the power and bandwidth you need for a household full of gadgets. With a preset WiFi network on the router, you can configure the LINKSYS EA9300 MAX-STREAM AC4000 TRI-BAND WI-FI ROUTER with a smart phone, tablet or PC. The App’s user interface is simple and informative with basic features only a click away while the web browser allows for more complex configurations, such as DMZ, port forwarding and VLAN configurations. This router is physically heavier than other home routers, not a bad thing, but noticeable when setting it up. The range is also amazing as it sits on the first floor and have minimal lost between the basement and second floor. I have also mowed my acre of a yard around the house streaming music without any interruption.
I personally had an odd issue where I enabled parental controls and blocked a device listed as “network device” though later found out it was my Xbox One. Once it was identified, I disabled the parental controls but the Xbox was still blocked from the network. I manually reset the router and everything is now working as intended.
Regardless of that minor issue, everything has worked perfectly, to include fast resets after making configuration settings. With over 14 devices on my network, the only thing slowing me down is the speed of my internet service provider.

Hair drying with added ions
on May 22, 2017
Posted by: DavidJr
from Elizabethtown, KY
The Panasonic - Nanoe Hair Dryer looks and feels like a professional salon hair dryer. It is slightly heavier than your standard generic hair dryer, but not by much. The nanoe outlet appears to work the same way as the ionizer on compressed air tools for electronics, though it is hard to tell. My daughter has been the primary user and she does claim that straightening her hair afterwards has been a bit easier, so I would say it is retaining moisture compared to her other dryer. The extra attachments also help make styling easier as you can direct the flow or use the diffuser to dry without blowing your hair everywhere. The speed and temperature controls are independent of each other, so you can have no heat but full speed.

Popping color and deep blacks, with caveats
on May 9, 2017
Posted by: DavidJr
The Samsung Q7F QLED TV has some of the brightest and sharpest colors I have seen on a TV, with deep and true blacks (1). The design of the TV truly looks sleek from every side as they added a “Boundless 360° design”. Meaning the TV physically looks nice all the way around with hidden connections and thin cabling to present an “Invisible Connection” (2). The OneRemote feels nice, solid and not over cluttered with buttons as it allows for voice command entry and some control of other connected devices (3). Upon initial set-up, the Samsung Q7F recognized my Samsung S7 Edge phone and asked to use the Wi-Fi and Samsung account details from it instead having to manually enter them, showing just how smart this TV can be (4). The sound is also surprisingly loud and crisp with a bit of an ambient surround effect from the bottom facing speakers.
As for the caveats:
1) The colors do look amazing and the blacks look deep, so long as you are sitting directly in front of the TV. If you make any variation from the center you will instantly see the blacks to begin to fade. The harder the angle the more you will begin to see colors wash out. At about a 45° angle, which is about the position of the other chairs in my living room, the picture looks so pale that it is hard to distinguish between some colors. Their branding of “Q | Every View” falls short quickly. Depending on the angle also determines how much light bloom you will see on dark screens from the edge lighting. In certain scenes the colors can also be a bit too bright, as red and bright green tend to pop out more and create a bit of bloom of their own. A bit distracting in some scenes. Unless you enable ambient light detection while you are in a dark room setting, you end up blinded by the menu with extremely bright white background.

Unless you enable ambient light detection while you are in a dark room setting, you end up blinded by the menu with extremely bright white background.
2) The “Boundless 360° design” really is nice with the ability to hide the power and one connect cable through the stand. The edges are pencil thin and the back has panels to hide the screws and connections. I truly like the One Connect box design as I like having access to change out cables without moving the TV. They meant for this TV to be out in the open. However, I had an issue during setup, at the bottom of the panel there is a thin strip of metal hiding some internal components. When you first unpack it there is a protective film that must be peeled off. For me, the sticker managed to grab ahold of that thin piece of metal and pull it all the way out. It is irreplaceable and really only noticeable if you are close to the TV or in a dark room as there are a few pixels of light under there. This thin strip appears to only be cosmetic, and Samsung Tech Support is working with me on it, but seems like a cheap fix for the design. The slim edge is also like an optical illusion as the panel gets thicker toward the bottom and middle, curved even on the flat screen, which is really noticeable when you have to use the custom spacers to wall mount it using a VESA 400x400 mount which require 43-45mm 8mm 1.25 screws, not included.
Another issue I have with the design is that the power cables that are supplied are both the same 6ft length. They advertise the “Invisible connection”, in which the One Connect optical cable truly helps provide. However, the power cable is so short that I hope you have an outlet directly behind your TV. Most of us would want to protect that with a surge protector as well, so breaking that invisible concept. The advertised picture does not appear to show the power cable as an outlet is not nearby.
3) The One Remote is simple, almost too simple. Though it looks and feels all high tech, the shiny little ring on the front only functions as a four-way direction pad. It looks as if it could work like a scroll wheel, but it doesn’t, and the remote is where I feel they went backwards with the design. The only way to navigate between letters on the screen, as you type in your username and password, is one click at a time, unless you connect a Bluetooth keyboard or phone app. As you click through each character there are recommended letters and sometimes the automatic check mark after so many characters to help save time. However, that also becomes an issue as you think you clicked left to go to the next character and what you really did is hit the check mark for completion, incorrect password and you’re starting all over again. Shoot, they don’t even let you go right on the smart menu to roll around to the left. Instead, you must scroll through the other 15 apps to get to the source menu. It has no magic pointers or motion controls and the voice commands won’t recognize your crazy email address name, just try it and see what it comes up with. The simplification also affects how other applications or devices are controlled as there’s no separate fast forward or skip function, though there are color buttons that help with some devices that use it and some apps just work with the directional control.
4) As for the smart features, I was surprised when the TV wanted to connect to my phone, especially because I thought I had it connected to the LAN, only to find my switch was turned off. Regardless, once accepted it pulled all the needed info from my phone saving time and headache from having to enter my username and passwords for both the Wi-Fi and Samsung account one letter at a time. I was also disappointed in the amount of apps available. They have the majority of the most common apps and a few off the wall. It just seemed that once connected to the internet there should have been a much wider selection, even if I wouldn’t use the majority of them. Something that I am sure will change over time.
Straight out of the box, my TV would not allow for screen share, either directly or through YouTube. After contacting tech support it was a simple unplugging of the One Connect box for one minute after having powered it on. Once plugged back in, it automatically came back on and screen share worked.
The installed media player has a “360° mode” button. Though I tried media through YouTube and my Network Attached Storage, neither seemed to enable that mode. Once I put the 360 media directly on a USB drive plugged into the One Connect box, it worked as intended. The remote directional pad, volume and channel buttons then become the controls for viewing but limit other functions, such as volume and fast forward/rewind. This is where a motion controlled controller would have really been an advantage.
The settings for this TV are rather limited. Certain settings can’t be disabled to reduce input lag for gaming, though there is a gaming mode which isn’t bad, auto power management is on or off and locked to 4 hours, and audio pass-through has to be changed depending on the format of audio being provided, not auto sensed. The four preset picture settings basically bright, dim or a yellow hue to everything, depending on which one you use. As for HDR content, it is automatically recognized on application media like Netflix, Amazon Prime and YouTube, but requires to be manually set for external devices under UHD color. You also wouldn’t know it is in HDR unless you go to change settings unlike some other TV’s that show when it is enabled.
Don’t get me wrong, this is a nice TV, especially if you mainly sit directly in front of it. If you are upgrading from an older TV to this one, you will be amazed. If coming from last year’s 4K models, as I am, maybe not so much. I just feel that instead of moving forward with new technology and design, they tried too hard with rebranding, adding “Q” and “Elite” to everything and didn’t advance anything forward, but took a step back. Samsung has been using “Quantum Dot” technology in their SUHD TVs for a few years now and to me this just looks like a gimmick to try and compete with OLED TVs.
*I received this TV as part of a promotion to provide my true and honest opinion, though not requested on this site, I couldn't resist to try and let more people know.

Surprisingly loud for personal use.
on May 1, 2017
Posted by: DavidJr
from Elizabethtown, KY
The Polk Boom Bit wearable speaker is not an all-day home Bluetooth speaker. It is for personal use where you could use a speaker phone, but need something louder and more convenient. A perfect example is for when riding a bicycle, you shouldn’t wear headphones, but you want to listen to music and have hands-free calling. Any activity that is about 3 hours and you need hands free but don’t want to block out all sound with headphones.
This little speaker is light and can clip on nearly anything up to 1/4 inch. Due to the way it is charged it reminds me of an old school thumb drive, though there is no storage on this device. The controls are simple, yet slightly annoying when you need to press both buttons at the same time for power. The + and - are the only buttons and they are far enough apart that you won’t accidently click the other one, but just far enough to make it a challenge to hold both for some functions.
The battery life, as with any device, is dependent on use and volume levels. At the lowest settings capable of still hearing sound it lasted 4.5 hours for me. Being in a cubicle style office it was loud enough for me to hear it clipped on my lanyard, but so low that no one else could hear it unless I was standing next to them. Audio quality is not bad, but about what I would expect from a tiny speaker.

Fun speaker
on March 30, 2017
Posted by: DavidJr
The Sony SRS-XB40 has been the speaker my teenage kids have been fighting over since I received it. The sound on it is surprisingly loud and clear with rich sounding bass. With quick connection using NFC on my Android phone I was up and running in no time flat. This thing is like a little party box with the various light features and the ability to link multiple speakers together. I envision walking in with my family of 4, each carrying a speaker, setting them around and starting a party wherever we are. Price is the limiting factor on that though.
The lights are entertaining and the only way to truly control them is through one of two apps advertised in the material that is in the package, Music Center and Fiestable, which Fiestable now appears only inside Music Center. You can turn the lights on and off by holding the Extra Bass button on the speaker itself, but by default it is in “Rave” mode. Through the Settings menu of the Music Center app you can find an EQ, power options and illumination. The lighting mode then can be changed off through 12 other settings, with some preset color modes. However, you can also play with the lights through Illumination in Fiestable, which only allows color changing and blinking rate of the color while you hold it. Also strangely is that if you set a color, then go back to settings and choose a color mode, it will continue to hold your set color instead of changing to “Calm Lime” per se. The DJ Control is interesting in the Fiestable app as well. It modifies the sound and plays sound effects from the speaker, no matter the source. It gives you a feel that you are a “real DJ”, for a moment, till you realize how annoying it can get.
It feels sturdy and heavy enough to sit on a ledge by the pool without a beach ball knocking it off. Plus it is splash resistant and shouldn’t have any issues from the water of weather. It does have a rubber seal on the panel where USB, power, the charging cable and a reset button are and it is not meant to open in case of getting wet. The buttons all appear to be sealed with the rubber that wraps the entire speaker which also makes me wonder, why is there no skip button on there?
Overall, it is a fun speaker and that is why my teenage kids love it. I just wish I had better control over the lights and didn’t have to go to an app within an app to make changes in two different places.

Back to the basics
on March 29, 2017
Posted by: DavidJr
These headphones take it back to the core of headphones. Simple and effective. There is no need for batteries, flashy lights, different directional buttons or special apps. These are straight up wired headphones with microphone and they do a great job at being that. The Razer - Kraken Pro v2 Wired Stereo Gaming Headset looks big and heavy, but it is lightweight. They are big and with that they fit around my huge ears in any direction. The thick ear pads help create some noise isolation and feel comfortable for long term use. The material is like a light leather and does create a bit of a moisture barrier, so if you are a bit hot headed it can build some sweat. The headband is soft and flexible, capable of taking some twisting on and off of the head. The in-line volume and microphone controls along the braided cord are simple and make it easy for quick changes. These work great in game controllers, phones, media players and with the extra splitter adapter it will work in devices that had separate headphone and microphone ports. Available colors are green, white, and black.

So many functions in such a little space
on February 17, 2017
Posted by: DavidJr
The Samsung Gear S3 is by far one of the most advanced and classy looking smart watches out there. This smart watch pretty much has everything and with an option for 4G LTE I can’t imagine much more being offered. I have had the Samsung Gear S2 Classic and the Samsung Gear Fit2. I really like the “normal” watch style of the S line, but both watches just didn’t meet my expectations. Now that I have the Gear S3 Frontier, I can say that they have finally hit everything I was looking for.
Just starting off as a watch, it is a bit big and may be for some, but looks like a typical rugged style watch. The watch faces on it are amazing and some go as far as to mimic the light reflection as if they had a real reflective background. The clarity and finite details even give some of them a 3D appearance. From analog to digital with individual stylizations, there are so many watch face styles that you could have a different one every day if you choose to. There is also an “always on” feature that prevents you from having to flick your wrist to see the time, a complaint I had with the S2, however, it reduces time between charges significantly. With the band being interchangeable with any 22-mm band, the design choices are limitless.
As a fitness tracker, the Gear S3 has everything you expect, plus more. It tracks steps, floors climbed and automatic heart rate tracking with decent accuracy. It will pick up exercise events automatically if continued for at least 10 minutes, however, if you want full GPS tracking you will need to manually start the exercise event. When manually started and using S-Health you get added results, such as highest and lowest elevation for total ascent/descent using the included altimeter, and average/max heart rate. You also get a Google map display of your event which can be exported to a GPX file. The Gear S3 can keep track of all of this information without the phone being present during the workout. As an added bonus, the watch has internal storage so you can play music directly from the watch, through the built in speaker or Bluetooth headphones, or control the music on your phone.
For smart watch capability you get the typical notifications and alerts from your phone, which you can change in the Samsung Gear app. You can reply and send text messages by using standard preset short replies, emoticons, by writing text by hand, using an old style alphanumeric keypad, or use the microphone to record a message or use speech-to-text. Don’t want to text? You can answer and place calls directly from the watch, with surprising clarity. You can use your contacts or a keypad to enter a fresh number without ever pulling out your phone.
As for controlling the watch, I still love the rotating bezel compared to some other smart watches using the small crown. My fingers feel like I’m trying to use two sausages to pick up a pin when messing with small dials and such. Sometimes even using the screen is cumbersome as my finger can cover half the screen or a slight bump leads to clicking on a wrong reply.
My favorite feature with the watch has been the amazement that I get from people when I use my watch with Samsung Pay to make a payment. It typically starts out with their hand out awaiting a credit card. Then I tell them I’m going to pay using my watch and their response is usually “Oh our system is old, we don’t do that yet” as they hear the beep of the transaction being completed. That is when the questions start to kick in, even from people behind me in line. Besides ATM machines and gas pumps, it has worked on pretty much everything else. If at first it does not succeed, have them change the transaction from credit to debit or vice versa. You can even make up to four transactions without your phone being nearby, making this even better when out on a workout.
To wrap up with a few odds and ends, I like how the bezel is above the glass. I have only had mine a few weeks and already bumped it against several hard objects. There are marks on the bezel, but nothing with the glass. I just bought some lens covers to be sure that this will not be an issue. The default watch band is rubber, therefore it stretches and at times feels like it is pinching my arm, as a rubber band would. If I loosen it too much, because I use Samsung Pay, the screen will lock and requires a 4 digit pin to be entered. A feature I am grateful for, but a bit of an annoyance when I find it locked when a notification comes in, so I keep the watch tight. The battery life has lasted on average 3 days, with the “Always On” feature turned off. I like to wear mine at night as well, to provide sleep tracking, so I charge it during times of inactivity, like at my work desk or in the evening while watching TV, and it is fully charged in about 2 and a half hours. The altimeter and barometer are an interesting feature, and I am sure for some it will prove useful, but so far all I have noticed is that I have to recalibrate the altimeter every few days as it has been over 600ft off after a few days and the weather has not been severe enough to really change the barometer reading.
In conclusion, I have thoroughly enjoyed my Samsung Gear S3 Frontier and look forward to using it more as the season of outdoor activities starts to roll in. With so much to offer in a typical elegant looking watch, it is hard to believe what they will improve on it anytime soon. If you are looking to take the step into the world of using a smart watch, but don’t want a device that looks like a small phone on your wrist, and provides more features than any other watch, this is the one for you. If you are looking for an upgrade from any other smart watch, you don’t have to look any further.

I tried many different ways to find out how to download the Gear VR programs by going to Samsung and Oculus online. All unsuccessful!!

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.

1 out of 5Need certain phones to use this.

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 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.

When I put my phone in the unit it doesn't seem it. I keep having to pull it out and try again.

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.

You can't change the switch style on the Apex 3. The Apex 5 has blue mechanical gaming switches and the Apex 7 can be chosen as red, blue or brown.
