Better than the built in camera
on October 4, 2023
Posted by: DavidJr
Simple and quick webcam. Just plug it up, open the software that you need to make your video with and off you go. I hooked this up on a computer that already had a built-in webcam and the clarity difference was noticeable despite the other one claiming it is full HD. The auto-light balance is really noticeable as well, especially in low lit areas or a bad backlight. It might take it a second, but when you are back in frame, it is almost like you turned that background light off.
I took a picture I found online, printed it and then took a picture of it with the camera and besides some expected degradation of a picture of a print, it turned out pretty good. See comparison below.
The physical privacy shutter is a nice feature, but besides the record light not being on, there is no way to know that it is turned off other than unplugging it. A lot of smart speakers and things that have microphone access, usually have a physical switch for that as well.
The base can technically stand on its own if you want to put it on a flat surface, but works best on top of a monitor or ledge of practically any thickness. It doesn’t fold away like one of their other models, so it isn’t as portable, but doesn’t take up a lot of space as it is.
Overall an effective webcam for general use in practically any lighting condition.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Simple and effective
on September 19, 2023
Posted by: DavidJr
As soon as you connect this card reader it shows as three additional USB drives on your computer. Pending what card slot you use you will see all the files on that card with ease. With micro-sd, SD and CF card slots you can place something in all three and at USB 3.2 Gen 1 speeds quickly and easily transfer between them and your PC. Since most micro-SD cards usually come with an SD card adapter, this makes it just as easy to exchange data between cards. It has a thick USB-C to USB-C cable, but also comes with a small USB-C to USB-A adapter. It’s quick, simple and gets the job done.
This claims to work with Windows, Mac, Chrome, iOS and Android. I do not have any Apple devices to try it on, but it worked as expected on my Windows/Chrome/Android devices. Considering how most phones do not come with memory card slots any more, this is an easy way to still use that old memory card you might still have. The cable is a bit bulky for compact storage and would have been better if it came with a little strap to help keep it wrapped up but it is long enough to use on a desktop computer that might be tucked away from reach.

Simple and uses AA batteries
on September 18, 2023
Posted by: DavidJr
I did not realize till I downloaded the Yale Access App that Yale and August were one in the same. Went to set up my lock and it said I already had an account and already showed my old lock. So, it was already somewhat familiar in how the directions were straight forward and step by step through the app. The included install guide also has pages that you use to help measure and possibly cut holes in the door if that is what you need to do. However, having already had a deadbolt in my door it was simply remove a few screws, pull all the parts out and put the new ones in.
One thing I found odd was that it comes with a Wi-Fi module, most other locks I have had, just had it built in. So, if you don’t want it to have Wi-Fi, you can literally just leave that part out. One thing I really like about this one is that it uses AA batteries, unlike some others using CR2 or CR123, which are not as common and usually more costly. And the most common question, what if the batteries die? Well, ask a neighbor for a 9 volt battery and attach it to the bottom 2 pins for a temporary charge to use your pin, besides you get warnings before you need to do that. I didn’t have dead batteries and the position of my door handle makes it impossible to try.
Once installed you can set up the door sense magnet. You can mount it on the frame or tuck it inside the frame, requiring a little bit of drilling. However, once installed you can use that to auto-lock and sense when the door is ajar. Setting up your pin is simple, you can use the app to unlock it or you can have it sense your location so that when you get home it unlocks automatically. You can set up temporary access codes, scheduled times for access codes and even invite others directly to use the app on their device. The keypad lights up clearly on press of the first button and the keys feel responsive, so you know you pressed it along with a tone. You can also connect it to your voice assistance so they can give you status or help you lock/unlock as well. I do find the inside module is a little big and due to the size, makes it a little close using the round door handle I have.
Overall it was a simple install and makes getting in and out of the door a little easier. It is nice to know that the door will be locked behind you and you can set it up to give notifications for everything, to include that the door has been left ajar. Now there is no need to make more copies of a key that someone will surely lose.

Wake up the neighborhood!
on September 15, 2023
Posted by: DavidJr
This thing is a whole sound system in one compact space, with 270 watts, 3.1 channels, that is 7 speakers in total, it is no wonder this thing is as heavy as it is. It pumps out crystal clear sound, though having it at high volume, I don’t recommend being in the same room. I took it outside and it was like having a concert for the neighborhood. Of course, it isn’t really designed to be outside, I just wanted to see how loud it really was. At the higher volumes though, it sounds like the highs push more than the 6.5” woofer can try to compensate for. While at the same time, you can tell how the auto calibration tries to help fill an area with sound if you change anything, like when opening a door, you really notice that reflection is helping.
The style of this truly does have a 70’s look to it. But, it has kind of an awkward size that the only place it can really fit is on a table somewhere. This is one of the few speakers I have seen that has Ethernet capability, so you don’t have to set it up to Wi-Fi if you don’t want to. You also have 3.5MM aux and USB C input if you don’t want to use one of the available built in streaming services like Amazon Music, iHeartRadio, Spotify or Tidal. This means your phone or other device does not have to do the streaming, however, you can do that if you want to through BlueTooth too. You can also use Google and Alexa at the same time so you can take advantage of standard smart speaker features, like asking Alexa the weather. You can also flip the microphone switch on the back so none of them can hear you even if you have it set up. With a red light on the front to show it is disabled, it is the only light on the front, but easy to notice if you are yelling at Alexa and she is not responding. The light up volume/bass/treble knobs are a neat way to see control and see the digital levels as well.
The JBL One app is required to set up the streaming features and voice controls. The app itself is pretty simple and doesn’t really have much else to do once you have everything set up. The EQ option does give a mid setting compared to the knobs controlling bass and treble only. But, most of the time, once you have it where you like it, nothing much changes. My favorite feature is the moments button, once set, it will go straight to whatever music source you have it set to, say a specific station on Amazon Music. That and voice assistance makes the app pretty much pointless afterwards.
Overall, the sound level on this JBL Authentics 500 reminds me of the 80’s Maxwell commercial of a guy sitting in a chair getting blown away by the high fidelity sound. This is so many levels above your typical smart speaker and has the speakers to be enough for a sound system, but so odd shaped that it is not going to replace a typical sound bar. This will be a centerpiece of sound for any party for sure.

Tight fit, clear sound and decent noise cancellati
on September 15, 2023
Posted by: DavidJr
One issue I tend to have with earbuds is that with a little sweat I am fighting to keep them in my ears. With these, they have done an amazing job of staying where I expect them to be and pumping out the music the whole time. Pop on the active noise cancellation and yard work seems to go so much faster. With the ANC, motor sounds just become a light hum, although it does get a little crackly with less unpredictable sound, like the weed eater smacking things. Then, if you want to hear something, you just tap the left ear and you can get HearThrough mode. However, by default, this is not an option, you have to change it in the Sound+ app.
Several of the functions can only be changed with the Sound+ app, like the default pause when one ear bud is removed due to the proximity sensor it has in each of them. You can also change the EQ or use music presets. The app also has some soundscapes like pink noise, white noise, fan or some natural sounds like rain or a cavern. They are on a perfect loop too as I never noticed it cut out like I have seen with some apps. You can do a fair bit of customization with them too, like change the prompts from voice to tone, or pick the language. You can set up voice assistance with Google or your device default. You can also set it to go straight to Spotify with a double tap of the left ear.
Battery life on these depends on usage. They last about 8 hours if you have the AND/HearThrough mode running, or 14 without. You can use 1 earbud at a time and keep the charge running for a couple days without ever having to plug it back up, without ANC on. On initial pairing of the headset, the directions made it look like you just pull them out and they were ready to pair. However, holding the button on both ear buds for 3 seconds puts it into pairing mode. As for water/dust proof, they are rated IP68 and even washing them in direct water, they seem to be holding up just fine.
Overall, these seem like a solid pair of earbuds for any situation. From watching videos with spatial sound to just drowning out any sounds in the background. Out of the box they are decent, but so much better once you have the app installed to make the changes you want.

Heavy and responsive
on September 9, 2023
Posted by: DavidJr
When I first picked this thing up, I could have swore that the keyboard was made of solid steel. This thing, with the included case, has some weight to it. It is a little less than 4lbs, but not what I expected on such a small wireless keyboard. With that though, it feels very rigid and isn’t going to slide across the desk. Then, on top of that, it has full RGB backlight with the tactile keys, certainly more than your average wireless keyboard. With the G Hub software, you can really get into customizing, changing keys up, adding macros and then most of that being saved to the on-board memory so you can use it on a computer without G-Hub installed. Plus, it has about 55 hours of battery life, this is pending usage as it can stretch out more if you don’t use it all that often.
One thing though, they changed the connectivity options. Now, with the Lightspeed adapter, you can have 1 keyboard and 1 mouse connected of very specific models. While the older unifying adapter could have multiple of several various products. Now I have to have a separate adapter just for my trackball because it is MX and not G. So, instead of having multiple USB ports for small wireless adapters, I use Bluetooth, but that limits some of the advanced settings of the keyboard. Regardless, it is still pretty responsive and the keybindings, macros and game mode settings still work the same.
Overall, if you get a matching G Pro mouse to work with the same adapter, this is a really nice and solid keyboard. Compared to my older Logitech wireless keyboard, I feel like I actually type faster and more accurately with the tactile feel and sound of the keys. Plus, being in a dimly lit room, having that backlight really makes it helpful when you are trying to remember where that one key that you rarely use is. And, with the easy swap between Bluetooth and Lightsync, you can easily link to different devices.

Custom bubbly drink
on September 7, 2023
Posted by: DavidJr
I’m usually not a fan of sparkling water type drinks, but, when you can customize it a little more, I kind of started to enjoy them. The Ninja Thirsti is pretty simple to set up and use. It comes with a variety of flavors to get you started and some even have some additional additives, like caffeine and vitamins. It took me a couple times to find the carbonation level and flavor I prefer, but now it is just as refreshing as grabbing a soda out of the fridge.
There are a couple things I don’t like about it though. In a sense it acts like a typical coffee maker, but unlike a coffee maker, you need to remove the water reservoir so that you can keep it cold or add ice each time you want to make a cup. Having a warm soda does not taste the same. But, having the reservoir in the fridge, there have been a couple times that I forgot to return it and there does not appear to be a sensor telling the device that the reservoir is not present, or empty. So, it will attempt to still pump water and hesitate for a bit, then spit out whatever it managed to pull from the internal lines. You have to wait for the process to finish though before you try again.
The other thing I don’t like about it is how it breaks the portions up into 6oz fills. However, it adds the flavor on the first fill pending how high you go, so if you have a taller glass, you get the flavor in the bottom and carbonated water at the top. A little shake, or a stir, or some time will let it balance out, provided you have the space to do that. With 12oz being the most common fill, it was most noticeable, with taller ones, it would add some flavor to the other pumps, but the last one was always just carbonated water.
As for the flavors, I really liked the energy and vitamin ones. The splashes on the other hand, really did not seem to have much flavor to them, even on the 2 dot bold setting, but you could certainly smell them. Then you are limited to getting these specific flavor bottles from Ninja. Maybe, like the K-Cup, there will be other companies that make similar but cheaper products in the future. Same goes for getting the CO2 canister. On their site, it says “makes up to 100 12oz cups”, but that is also dependent on how sparkly you like your water. It does 1 pump per 6oz on the low setting, but 5 pumps per 6 oz on the high. So, if you like it really sparkly, that might get you 25 12 oz cups. I haven’t run mine out yet, but that might start to add up a lot more than getting those pre-bottled/canned products if that is what you are looking for. Plus, each flavor pack says “Makes 20, 12 oz Drinks”.
Overall, it is an interesting product if you like to personalize your sparkling water drinks. If you like it lightly sparkling and live in the continental US so you can get the replacement CO2 and flavors shipped to you, it might be worth it over time. Personally, I think it is less hassle and still more cost effective to get a case of some pre-made brand I already like.

More features than your typical wireless mouse
on August 8, 2023
Posted by: DavidJr
This is the first wireless mouse I have had that has customizable multi-zone RGB coloring on it. On top of having 5 storable profiles, adjustable DPI, programmable buttons, ability to switch between Bluetooth, 2.4Ghz dongle and wired and be charged wirelessly with the dock that is sold separately. It’s no wonder it feels a little heavier than your typical mouse. As for the switching between devices, you can easily swap between BT and dongle, so I have 2 computers using the same mouse, but if you plug it up wired, it takes over regardless of what the switch is on.
To take full advantage of the mouse, you have to have the Razer Synapse software. But, you can program up to 5 different profiles saved to the device with different colors, keybinds and some stored macros. However, some functions still require the Synapse software to work.
Overall, a full featured wireless mouse that seems very responsive even 10 feet from where my computer is and very fitting to my hand. As with most things, it comes down to personal feelings on the grip and worth checking out in the store. If you want to take it on the go, just pull out the dongle and store it in the bottom.

It can handle big phones, but not for everything
on August 2, 2023
Posted by: DavidJr
This is a beefy stabilizer. It is loaded with features and when connected with their apps gives access to even more. It can hold some of the largest phones, but at the cost of using the full rotation. The included directions are limited and meant for someone that already understands everything about a stabilizer. If you have never used one, then going to their website, watching some videos and getting the full PDF user guide is where you want to start. Guides on how to properly balance and get started were essential.
When you are ready to start recording, you need to know the mode you want to start in, landscape or portrait, and balance it with the included tripod as such. Switching between those modes requires that set up each time. For bigger phones though, I was using Note10+, getting the perfect balance can end up pushing the adjustment arm until the point that it makes contact with the rotation of the gimbal and when that happens, it just spazzes out on you. So long as you don’t try to make a full rotation, it works as intended. With the included light and adjustable brightness, and the ability to add two more if you get those extra, it can really make a difference in recording.
There are 2 apps that they recommend, Zy Cami and StaCam. They are meant to be like entry level and pro versions, but I found the Zy Cami app just to be too bloated, like it wants to be its own social platform with a camera function. StaCam just gets right into being a camera with all the extra functions. Several of the extended functions on the gimbal, like ISO and Disp. buttons don’t even work with Zy Cami. However, using these apps really helps take advantage of all the features.
Overall, this is not a get up and start being a pro videographer type device unless you have experience with something similar. It takes a little getting used to and learning the functions. Even though it says it supports larger phones, which it can hold them and stabilize in a specific range, it does have limitations with the biggest phones. Its battery lasts a long time and you can provide charge to your phone through it as well as use the built-in fill light. With all that, it can make for some interesting videos.

Super smooth and quite
on July 27, 2023
Posted by: DavidJr
This tiny keyboard is a little beefier than I was expecting as far as weight. It actually felt heavier than my full size wireless keyboard, but without all the other buttons. The keys are super sensitive, almost too sensitive as I tend to rest my pinky on the ‘A’ and get a random ‘a’ here and there as I am typing. The keys are smooth and barely make any sound, but provide enough feedback to know you are typing. Even without the other keys missing, the FN provides even more than your typical keyboard, like cycling through colors and recording macros. With the iCue software you can go in and customize pretty much everything with the keyboard, but there might be issues.
For the most part the keyboard has worked as intended, however, through my testing there has been a bug identified that will require a firmware update, once they provide it. As of this review, if you change the lighting through iCue and then use the FN key, which will highlight all the keys that work with the FN, it will freeze the keyboard. This ends up requiring you to unplug/plug the keyboard back up. So, if you run into that issue, just know, they are aware of it and should have a fix in the near future.
Other than that, I have come to like this little keyboard. It even comes with a different space bar pending your desire for a lot of light or just a “regular” style key. aThe removable braided USB A to USB C cable makes it so that you can easily pack this keyboard away and not worry about wearing the cable down. You can save your customizations directly to the keyboard so that you don’t need the iCue software on every device, so you can hook it up to any device and show your style.
Overall, despite the little bug I ran into, I find this to be a well built keyboard. Once you get used to where the extra keys are used under the FN, it makes it so you don’t have to move around the keyboard as much. The iCue software that enhances the keyboard even more takes a bit to get used to, but pretty much gives you all the customization you could imagine.

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 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.

I have problems getting my phone to sync with this

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

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.

G535 gives you performance, freedom and comfort for all your gaming sessions. Enjoy advanced LIGHTSPEED wireless, up to 33-hour battery life, and 40 mm drivers for crystal-clear sound. Just 236 grams, an adjustable headband, and soft memory foam earpads ensure all-day comfort.
 

How do I enable Dolby Atmos for the 535 headset? I see nothing in GHub, and Windows only has Windows Sonic for Headphones. Is this a program I need to purchase and download through the Microsoft Store? Thank you.

You have to have the Dolby Access app installed to enable Dolby Atmos for Headphones. There is a free trial, but it also requires a subscription afterwards. Once installed, the option will show right under the Windows Sonic option.

Documents say NVR systems require Ethernet cables such as CAT5e and CAT6... any problems or things to consider with using flat CAT7 or CAT8 cables?

CAT 7 and CAT 8 is fully backwards compatible with CAT 5e/CAT 6 cables and should work just fine. This system comes with low grade ethernet cables that don't even feel like they are proper twisted pair. If I had long enough ethernet cables to replace theirs with, I would absolutely do that and might see some improvement.

I've looked through all the images and i can't see if it has a headphone jack, so does it?

There is a 3.5mm combined headphone/microphone port on the left side of the keyboard.

does the box come with a webcam? and does the laptop have an ethernet input?

The model does not have a webcam nor an ethernet port. However, with two USB-C and two USB-A ports there is plenty of space for adapters and personal webcams.

Does the G14 support a solid state drive AND the M.2 storage? Or does the G14 storage ONLY support M.2?

There is only space for a single M.2 drive internally. However, there are two USB 3.2 Type C ports that can support decent speeds for any external SSD.

so for those that bought the ASUS - ROG Zephyrus G14 14" Laptop - AMD Ryzen 7 - 16GB Memory - NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 - 512GB SSD and a quest 2. Would this laptop run PCVR while using a link cable? asking for a friend

It will run PCVR with the Link cable. Though the GTX 1650 graphics card may struggle with some experiences, VR Mark rates it Great with a score of 5355 and an average frame rate of 116FPS which meets Oculus requirements of 81 FPS.
