Great Mid-Range Headphones!
on May 16, 2019
Posted by: ExcellentEducator
from Birmingham, AL
As an avid daily walker, I rely on headphones to listen to music in order to keep me moving. As a first-time user of Insignia headphones, the performance of these headphones is really good! I will comment on aspects of these headphones that I found to be reliable as well as useful:
Bluetooth Pairing-These headphones paired well with my Android phone. The overall communications from these headphones is clear with much clarity. In the two nights of walking, I have not experienced anything that negates performance such as dropped signals.
Comfort-the comfort of these headphones is wonderful! The inner-ear pads are very cushiony, as such, I can keep them on for the duration of my walk without them sweating or pinching my ears. I perspire heavily when walking and exercising which result into headphones making my ears feel hot and fiery which results into my taking them off.
NC-The noise cancellation coverage on these headphones is top-notch! While amidst my walk, I activated the noise canceling feature as I took an evening walk due to change in my work schedule. As a result, the track was full of people, which can sometimes cause me to become unfocused. Therefore, I activated the noise-canceling feature from these headphones, and I did NOT hear anything! It truly was a good feeling to not hear conversations, stomping of feet by joggers, and the overall noise produced from the track environment.
Calling Feature-the calling feature on these headphones is pretty decent as I made a few calls after my workout. The callers indicated they did hear me well and I in turn heard them well. As there weren’t any distortion, choppy communications, or dropped calls.
Touchpads-I found the touch pads on these headphones to be easy to navigate as I have not experienced any delays or uneasiness during navigation.
Design-The design of these headphones consist of a hard-plastic coating, which is durable and will withstand accidental drops or scratches that come from not having a protective case. However, I would have liked to have seen a good protective case to accompany these headphones.
Overall, I think these headphones are of quality build and affordable pricing to consumers, who wish to own a good pair of noise cancelling headphones, at affordable pricing.

Sony Does It Again with Great Audio!!
on May 16, 2019
Posted by: ExcellentEducator
from Birmingham, AL
As an avid daily walker, I rely on headphones to listen to music in order to keep me moving. Suffice to say, Sony’s XB700 does a wonderful job of providing great sound, balance and ease of usage, which points to win, win, win for me!
Out of the box, the connection that these provided was great as I am an Android user primarily. After employing the Sony, Connect app from the Google Play Store, I immediately listened to some of my 300 plus songs that are stored on Dropbox and the bass was great as the highs were great and the lows were great as well. I did not experience any tinny or faint sounds as both clarity and sound were great. I listen to a variety of genres such as rock, jazz, country, and my overall favorite 80’s pop rock.
I was super excited about the inclusion of both Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa. As an owner of both in my home, I decided to employ Google Assistant as my go to for now. Seemingly, I rely on Google Assistant more frequent than Alexa. Mainly Alexa is used when I want to have audio books read aloud to me. The activation of Google Assistant was easy as a simple touch.
Overall, Sony has done a wonderful job in making my life more simplistic, stress free and HAPPY!

As a person who relies on my phone on a minute by minute basis, this charging stand has been a welcomed upgraded edition to my family of chargers. As an owner of the Belkin 5W charger, which is a great staple, but this one is even better as it supplies more JUICE! I am an Android phone user and this unit charges my Qi smart phone quickly, which helps out immensely! I cannot give Belkin enough sincere ‘thank-yous’ for making my life a little less complicated!

Harmony Express Is On Point!!!
on May 4, 2019
Posted by: ExcellentEducator
from Birmingham, AL
Logitech never ceases to amaze me with all of the technology they come up with in order to enhance the everyday consumer’s life. As a person with many gadgets, this comes right on time as it simplifies the remote-control process significantly for me! Set up could not have been easier by obtaining the app from the Android store and from there, truly it’s a plug and play process after programming the devices that you desire to incorporate for daily usage. Alexa, is truly a useful tool as she controls everything as the ever present useful assistant. My TV already has built in Alexa controls, but the additional devices that I have laying around do not, as such it cleans the clutter by adding it all under “one roof."
Logitech has done a wonderful job in adding devices all across the board; thus, if your device by chance isn’t on the list, be patient, as they’re constantly adding devices to make life a little easier and clutter free.

Capture and print gorgeous photos with this Canon Ivy Cliq Plus instant camera and printer. The 8MP resolution offers high-quality images, and the built-in printer produces pictures in under a minute. This Canon Ivy Cliq Plus instant camera and printer has a 2-inch selfie mirror with an LED ring for stunning self-portraits.

Do you like striking a pose? Are you the ultimate “selfie” person? Do you like capturing the simple, quirky and sentimental moments? If your answer is, “yes” then Canon has a new camera that clicks and prints on the spot! The new Canon Ivy Cliq + is a great little carry around novelty that captures those pictures that one likes to preserve and keep. Canon has truly made this an easy process as no assembly is required, it’s truly ready to start its job and deliver great pictures. Some pictures I took were pretty decent and a few of them were kind of grainy but truly the good outweighed the bad as this is a quick way to capture those sentimental moments one may have.
The cost of the paper at approximately .50 cents which can get some what pricey if you’re one who loves to take a plethora of pictures. However, if you’re the ultimate picture taker, then this very well maybe the camera for you!!

The Portable Partying Device!
on April 16, 2019
Posted by: ExcellentEducator
from Birmingham, AL
This is Sony’s newest version of the previous XB31. As an owner of both the XB21 & XB41, I can say that Sony upgraded features to an already good Bluetooth speaker. This speaker pretty much has the same features as the previous model. Sony claims the battery life is 24 hours, thus far, I have gotten 14 hours and the unit is still going strong! The party chain is easy to employ as I added the XB21, XB41, V11, all of which connected well without any hiccups. Additionally, I took a couple of calls and this speaker is clear and concise as I did not experience any distortion or scratchiness during conversation.
The really cool thing about this speaker is its portability. You will be the life of the party or if you just prefer to just easy listen while on break at work or just sitting in your home, car, appointment, etc; this speaker would not be a burden to carry around. More importantly, you’ll experience first class sound and be the cool life of the party as the beautiful strobe lights will be an attention drawer, no matter where you are!

Sony Rocked this One BIG Time!!!
on April 13, 2019
Posted by: ExcellentEducator
from Birmingham, AL
If you are an audiophile who loves Big Sound then this masterpiece must be added to your collection! This behemoth of a speaker is great if you enjoy outdoor parties, picnics, or just easy home listening! The sound produced from this speaker is good. This speaker has EXTRA bass, which holds its own well! I experienced the DJ effect which was AWESOME as I am planning an outdoor event soon, suffice to say, this speaker came right on time!
The main attraction is the beautiful strobe lighting that this speaker produces. I find myself mesmerized by the beautiful strobe lights that accompany this speaker.
If you’re looking for something BIG that produces BIG, then Sony has answered your call! You truly won’t be disappointed in its performance!

The Gold Standard in Audio w/ a New Design!!
on April 13, 2019
Posted by: ExcellentEducator
from Birmingham, AL
First off, Marshall sets in a distinct class of its own being known for classy looks that spell vintage, respect, aesthetics all matched with superior performance. However, this new design on this one (Tufton) gets a A++, the taller rectangular look aligns with Marshall’s head turning, eye pleasing products. The Tufton design looks like an upgraded version of its products in order to fit in with Marshall’s distinct line-up of audio in my opinion. While I appreciate that this is a portable speaker, the black décor heightens the signature gold that Marshall is known for.
Sound-the sound produced from the Tufton is superior with TRULY clear concise sound with the PERFECT BASS! I added the Tufton to my desktop PC and thereafter, I listened to my songs that are on Dropbox and I am elated to report, I got a great listening experience from every aspect.
While this design is portable, I personally would not want to risk carrying it around because of the possibility of damage that can occur.
If you’re wanting to upgrade or experience true listening without any type of distortion, then please don’t look any further because Marshall is truly the gold standard in audio!

Polished, professional Full HD video calls. The C920S HD Webcam delivers remarkably crisp, clear and detailed images in vibrant colors. HD autofocus and light correction adjust to provide consistently high definition, and the dual mics on either side of the lens capture natural sound. The privacy shutter puts you in control of what you show.

This “useful” Logitech product arrived right on time as I am an educator, who does on-line teaching! The built-in web cams (various laptops) that I was using were very grainy and distorted with some lag. Fast forward, this wonderful product by Logitech brings just the opposite by giving a clear concise picture without any lag time. Out of the box, the product is easy to assemble only requiring downloading of the software, which integrates with my PC desktop well. The built-in microphone produces great audio. Additionally, I appreciate that it is small and portable as I will use it on a combo of my laptops and desktops!
In summary, everything about this webcam points to win-win-win! As always, great job Logitech on yet another great product!

Robust Charging Capabilities!
on March 20, 2019
Posted by: ExcellentEducator
from Birmingham, AL
Charge..Ready…Set...Go! This charger has been a life saver for me as I am one who relies heavily on my phone. Suffice to say, I run out of juice quickly on a daily basis. This little ‘coaster’ of a charger has been a life saver as it gives a quick charge when I am in tight spots. The charging capabilities of this phone is wonderful; however, I wish it were 10W; but at this time 5W is meeting my needs well!

By Pudge
I needed a basic keyboard since the one on my lap top stopped working. It worked fine for a few weeks. Having a problem now, It types Caps without putting on the Cap key, It skips spaces. Then the next day It will be fine for awhile and do the same thing again. Only paid $12.99 for it and that is just about what it is worth. I have had it over a month and as I said it was great for about 2 weeks.

By Hpandme
It's my fault for not reading the fine print but I now realize that this desktop does not have a CD/DVD Rom Drive. This is important to me since I do play games on my computer. It's smaller than the picture looks...about the size of a gallon of milk and I just got it , so I don't have any comments yet on the performance. The keyboard is compact too, wish it was wireless. Otherwise, a great buy.

HP Pavilion Wave
November 16, 2016
I have the same desktop; however, it is with the i3 processor. Yes, it does come with a keyboard and mouse which are both paired. As a result, all one needs to do is plug and play. The desktop comes with several ports if a person desires to use an external CD/DVD player, the unit can accommodate the need by using one of the USB ports. I have an extra keyboard (which is bigger) and mouse that I use along with the included keyboard and mouse. So, if the included keyboard and mouse are not to your satisfaction, there are several USB ports that can be used to accommodate something else.

I suggest downloading the app, Tone and Talk. I initially felt the way you're feeling until I tried the app which has bass levels and enhances sound. I have an Android phone; as a result I obtained the app out of the Google Play store. I hope this info helps!
