Incompatible with My Device!
on May 31, 2018
Posted by: ExcellentEducator
from Birmingham, AL
I eagerly opened and unpackaged my Clips camera only to be disappointed. Upon visiting the Google Play store to unload the app, a message appeared that said, “Your device isn’t compatible with this version!” I have a Motorola G Plus (5th Generation) smart phone. Suffice to say, this message piqued my curiosity as such, I went to g.co/clips/help to find out what devices are compatible for Androids and IOS users and they are the following:
Android
Google Clips™ currently supports the following Android devices running Android 7.0 Nougat and above:
• Pixel and Pixel XL
• Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL
• Samsung Galaxy S7
• Samsung Galaxy S8
Google Clips™ currently supports the following Android devices running Android 7.0 Nougat and above:

iOS
Google Clips currently supports the following iOS devices running iOS 11 and above:
• iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus
• iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus
• iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus
• iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus
• iPhone X
Google Clips currently supports the following iOS devices running iOS 11 and above:
• iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus
• iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus
• iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus
• iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus
• iPhone X
As an Android user, this information was very disappointing and baffling. I cannot understand why Google as a technology giant would design a device that is limited to users. Everyone doesn’t have Pixel, Samsung or Apple phones! In most cases all devices with both IOS and Android are supported. I hope Google correct this problem and so that this device will be supported across all Android and IOS platforms.

Wonderful Multi-functional Headphones
on May 27, 2018
Posted by: ExcellentEducator
from Birmingham, AL
The Sony SP600 Sports in-ear headphones are top rated in my opinion because of the following:
1) They are amazingly comfortable without a bulky feel.
2) The audio quality is concise and clear—there is no cutting in and out with choppy communications.
3) The battery life is decent.
4) I have not experienced any issues when taking calls from them.
5) The noise canceling mode and ambient sound mode are both powerful as well as accommodating to a user.
6) They are multi-purposed for travel, gym workouts, runs, power walks, to name a few.

Triple Threat Action!!!
on May 19, 2018
Posted by: ExcellentEducator
from Birmingham, AL
Man, these headphones are a force to be reckoned with! The fact that they have Siri, Alexa, and Google Assistant included is AWESOME SAUCE times three! These features are necessary for me as I have devices that consume usage from all three.
I love the build-quality, craftsmanship and overall design of these headphones. Initially, I thought that the neckband would be cumbersome, but it is not. I put them on for a brisk walk this morning and the fit and feel were dynamic. They produce great sound, as audio comes in clear and concise. Additionally, their noise-cancelling feature and calling feature are great too.
Jabra has graciously included the intangibles that point to assured “usefulness” such as various sizes for ear wings, ear gels along with a carrying case. If you’re in the market for a nice pair of headphones with a bit of twist, (Siri, Alexa and Google Assistant) then give the Jabra Elite 65e’s a chance, I think you’ll be quite pleased!

Great Headphones for Brisk Walking!!
on April 24, 2018
Posted by: ExcellentEducator
from Birmingham, AL
The performance of the JBL-Under Armour Sport Wireless headphones is good. The pairing of the headphones is easy, while the box directions aren’t super clear; nonetheless, they’re easy to pair. I was quite surprised that the neckband is relatively light. At first glance, it looks to be heavy and cumbersome, but it is not. I am an early morning power walker and I’ve worn these for the last couple of days. I have my music on Dropbox whose app is on my cell phone. The sound produced from the headphones is clear and concise, I didn’t experience any cutouts, frequency inconsistencies, etc. I like the fact, JBL included various sizes of earbuds for users’ comfort.
Overall, I commend JBL on creating a good product in Under Armour’s name!

Awesome Power Mop!!!
on April 24, 2018
Posted by: ExcellentEducator
from Birmingham, AL
The Bissell SpinWave is a mop that has robust features. Firstly, the mop comes ready to use. There isn’t anything to put together. All one needs to do is add cleaning fluids and you’re good to go! I used the mop in my kitchen which has linoleum and it did a thorough cleaning job. The pads are very thick in which they do a great job of picking up dirt particles without leaving evidence of films on the floor. Also, I used the mop on my hard wood floors and again, it did a thorough cleaning job. The mop only gives 20 minutes of cleaning time, which I was able to get everything in. I did feel a little rushed as I was worried about possibly re-charging.
I commend Bissell on manufacturing great products at affordable costs. This is my 3rd product of theirs and I can honestly say that all 3 have been very reliable with consistent robust results!

Multi-functional Streaming Mic!!
on April 15, 2018
Posted by: ExcellentEducator
from Birmingham, AL
This is a multi-functional mic that can serve various purposes for PS4, conference calling, Xbox gaming, pod casting, interviewing etc. I am a college lecturer; therefore, I chose to use this Mic which has outstanding range to record some podcasts for my students to listen to on Blackboard and/or download. The process of recording was very user friendly. I chose Cardioid which recorded my voice nicely. I did not experience any muffles, background noises, or echoes that can sometimes pick up when recording. The unit itself was very easy to assemble, and it seems robust for the most part. I will note, the Mic itself is made of a plasticky material; however, the unit’s bottom is robust and steady. The supplied USB cord is long in length, which is welcoming for me as I need it for the various places that I plan to do recordings in. Overall, Turtle Beach did a great job with this product as it is very multi-dimensional in usage!!!

Useful Antenna!!
on April 12, 2018
Posted by: ExcellentEducator
from Birmingham, AL
With the help of my neighbor, we successfully installed this antenna. After multiple attempts to get the best signal to my home, we finally achieved a great signal. I am now getting even better reception than I got from the original Mohu that I have. I must confess, I had some skepticism due to the fact, we just weren’t getting the best channels from the first set of directions that we tried. My channels are coming in clear and concise, which is all I could have hope for!!!

A Reliable Router!
on March 27, 2018
Posted by: ExcellentEducator
from Birmingham, AL
Norton has manufactured a router that is beautiful aesthetically, yet robust in features. The design of this router is just beautiful, I love the shape, color and size. It can set within any room and blend in beautifully.
The first step in getting the process started is downloading the app, which in my case was from the Google Play store as I am an Android phone user. The router integrated well and setting up everything was a breeze. I have multiple devices in my home that all were discovered by this router seamless.
The coverage on this router is by no means a slacker, as I streamed a few movies and received great results as there weren’t any buffering, skips, or stalls. I especially like that you can always know your internet speeds. I am one who constantly wants to know how my internet speeds are progressing. The extra bonus is that it comes with a complimentary 1-year subscription to Norton Core Security Plus. The features are wonderful, but I am curious to know how much the cost will be after expiration of the complimentary subscription.
If you’re in need of a quality router with great features such as parental controls, notification alerts, discovery of devices, guess access, notification of hacks and vulnerabilities, to name a few, then Norton maybe the router for you!

Great Bluetooth Speaker!
on March 27, 2018
Posted by: ExcellentEducator
from Birmingham, AL
This is a great little Bluetooth speaker that Sony has added to its spring line up of XB31 and XB41. The speaker has a single line light that matches beautifully with its turquoise-blue décor. I have paired the speaker with my cell phone as I did with the XB41 as well. The speaker does a good job of giving quality sound while on phone calls. It can also be used for outdoor activities as well as indoor activities. The size which makes it portable and easy to carry around will benefit much usefulness.
I am glad Sony has included this speaker which offers consumers a variety of choices based on needs. Also, the pricing is affordable, yet the features are solid. Great job Sony!

The "star" of the party!
on March 27, 2018
Posted by: ExcellentEducator
from Birmingham, AL
Sony really hit the ball out of the park on this one! Let’s start with appearance, the XB41 has a deep cranberry-red color accompanied by beautiful strobe lights that are interchangeable at your request. The Bluetooth pairing was very easy, both my cellular phone and laptop recognized the speaker instantly.
-Sound this speaker packs an awesome punch with sounds that are loud and clear in audio clarity.
-Portability this speaker can be used for classroom functions, parties, outdoor gatherings and even the beach because of its water-resistant abilities. I am an educator, and I plan to use this speaker frequently in the classroom for audio lectures.
-Features I love the fact this speaker has the ability to daisy link as I have the XB21 as well as the V11 to add this feature on to.
I believe all users will love the usefulness as well as robust features of this speaker. Sony claims 24 hours of usage without the strobe lights, which will undoubtedly be the star of the party! I highly recommend this Bluetooth speaker!

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.
