Listen and talk comfortably while staying active with these AfterShokz Sportz headphones. Their lightweight and flexible titanium headband provide pleasant wear and easy portability, and the noise-canceling microphone lets you converse smoothly. The bone conduction technology of these AfterShokz Sportz headphones transmit audio signals through your cheekbones to keep your ears receptive to the environment.

Good headphones...take a bit to get used to
on April 13, 2017
Posted by: Griffin911
These headphones have full sound about on par with Apple earbuds. The bone conduction does take a bit to get used to as any bass at all causes the phones to actually vibrate on your temples. They do allow you to hear what is happening around you as they do not block out the ambient noise.
Prior to using them I was not aware that they were wired headphones. The packaging is not clear on that. The addition of a large rectangular box at the end of the wire to allow for charging is awkwardly placed and these do not come with an adapter to use any iPhone with a lightning port.
This is a review for the AfterShokz Sportz Titanium w/Mic Bone Conduction Headphones that I received free of charge to do a beta test and review.
I would recommend this to a friend!

A great printer...especially for larger sizes
on November 15, 2016

This product is being tested for use in my home-based architectural office. I am a staff of one and print frequently - mostly 11x17 reductions of full size blue print drawings and PDF’s. We also occasionally print photos, maps, multipage contract documents, etc. We use the scanner/copier functions frequently to copy previous project work as0built document from already existing buildings. We have used HP OfficeJet and Photosmart and various Canon individual units and multifunction units since the late 1990’s. We've had several over the years, and they've always given many years of service, with few problems and low operating cost. We currently have and HP Officejet 7610 and Canon ip7220 as our printers.
In trying to acquire a printer that uses less “consumables” then our current units, I have come across the Eco-Tank units of Epson. Specifically the ET-16500. These units use the high-yield ink bottle and tank refill system for the ink as opposed to the often replaced style of ink cartridge so commonly found in today’s inkjet printers. The 4 color system, Black/Cyan/Magenta/Yellow, uses bottles said to print up to 4,000 pages before a refill is required. Though, I have been printing my steady rate for the past 8 days plus some additional “playful test printing” I have come no where close to the 4,00 page refill point, nor I have seemed to even put a dent in the amount of ink in the tanks. At approximately $20.00 per bottle for a refill of each color, I am thinking at this stage of the game that this will be a money saver. Stay tuned.
Initial set-up of this unit was a bit of a struggle as I did not have a printer cable to do a direct cable setup, nor did the unit come with the installation CD and quick setup set guide from the factory - oops. No problem, once I was able to acquire the installation software (easily acquired from the Epson website), I attempted to setup the printer wirelessly to my home network. Once the installation was complete, the printer seemingly printed nothing but “garbage”, miscellaneous computer code type text on every page that came out of the unit. Driver updates, removing and reinstalling the printer and installing it on multiple computers would not change this. It was at this point that I acquired a printer cable and reinstalled the printer to my computers via a hard wire connection and everything was fixed. The printer began, and continues, to print flawlessly as I expected. Once the hard wired installation was complete, I reconfigured the setup of the printer on each computer so as to be able to print wirelessly and that function now also works over every computer, laptop, tablet and phone throughout my office and home.
The printing from this unit is very good. It is actually much better then I expected. It is very fast, both in transfer time and actual print time. The varying level of greyscale print that I use with my cad software transfers perfectly and the blacks are very blacks. I am impressed. The color is also nice. Though I have not printed more then 2 or 3 images to date, it does a much better job on images than I expected - even on plain paper - out of a multi-fiction unit. I want to get some glossy photo paper and print a few of my professionally photographed building images to test it’s limits next. I'm sure a dedicated inkjet photo printer would do better. But that said, if you aren't too picky, the prints from this Epson ET-16500 - on better paper, should be very good and I doubt most people would have much issue with the quality even for framing. Stay tuned for the tests. Side note, I have even tested printing colored “iron-on” pages for some t-shirts that I am making at home. Fantastic quality.
The scanner/copier also seems fine to me. The scanning quality it better then that of my current HP Officejet 7610 and it prints whatever is on the page (no cutting off an edge). Copy quality is as good as the original. As I stated earlier, I do not scan and copy as much as a print, so this is a bonus to me when I do actually use these functions. It is nice to have the ability of good quality copies and scans when needed.
The bonus of this particular unit is the fact that it has two papers trays. I have never owned a unit with multiple paper trays and the fact that I have have a tray for letter and a tray for ledger with what seems to me to be a very large capacities make me very excited. No longer having a need for two printers, each with it’s own size paper is fantastic and the fact that I don’t refill the trays what seems like every day with a blessing. They are easily accessible and easily refillable and with a few easy tweaks to each tray, changing the paper size in each tray is also very simple.
While I didn't mean to write so much (I rarely remember to write reviews), but we are so happy with this Epson that I wanted to say so. I'm giving it 5 stars because I have no complaints so far with what it does. The print quality and overall functionality are excellent. I am very excited for continued use of this printer and I hope for many years of quality printing. I would highly recommend this printer to anyone with similar small business needs/requirements as myself.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Free yourself from cartridges with this Epson Expression EcoTank all-in-one printer. It lets you scan, print and photocopy, yet where it stands out is with its revolutionary easy-to-fill ink tanks. The replacement bottles let you refill the inks on the side so that you don't have to keep buying cartridges for this Epson Expression EcoTank all-in-one printer.

A solid printer that just works......

“This is a review for the Epson ET-3600 EcoTank that I received free of charge to do a beta test and review.”
Let's start by saying that this printer simply works! I have owned at least 15+ printers over the years and this Epson ET is one of the best. This printer comes with a lot (A LOT) of ink....they say two years worth.....heck I have had numerous printers that never lasted 2 years much less just the ink supply.
Out of the box set-up was simple, unpack, add ink, plug in, connect to WiFi and add paper......done! Took bout 5 minutes from box to printing. Print quality is very good and also fast. A full color, majority black print took about 7 seconds and plain documents about three seconds. Just a heads up, this printer defaults to duplex, or two-sided printing, so if you do not want that make sure you change that setting. So far I have run about 1000 pages through and have not had a single issue. Definitely a printer I can solidly recommend.
I would recommend this to a friend!
