If you love trackballs
on September 22, 2017
Posted by: Mer4343
from Charlotte, NC
I was a diehard Trackman userfor years. Then Logitech stopped making the ones with the thumb ball. All I could find were ones with the center ball, and I don't find those as comfortable. This is a new generation of old trackball! Simply put--it's fabulous. The ONLY thing I am struggling with currently is the side buttons, which are now located on the top left of the mouse, to be operated with your index finger instead of your thumb. I assign these as copy and paste functions. I'm sure as my use increases, it will become second nature to reach for them in the new spot, but reaching back with my thumb still seems more natural for now. The new option to position the mouse on sort of magnetic hinge is a game changer for comfort. i find the middle setting to be most consistent with the natural angle of my hand. This will help so many folks with CT and finger fatigue. Accuracy is spot on as always with Logitech. No more changing batteries with the rechargeable feature, and the materials are all soft touch and top notch. No peeling to occur with these finishes. I'm thrilled to have my trackball back.

Good surround but tinny
on August 29, 2017
Posted by: Mer4343
from Charlotte, NC
The first thing you'll notice about these headphones is all the soft touch materials used to construct them. Every surface is soft and solid. They are supremely comfortable--no hard spots or difficult adjustments. The blue camo pattern is muted and not distracting. Setting up the headphones is a matter of plugging them in and popping the mic in. I played several games of Age of Empires online and the surround effect of Logitech's drivers is truly amazing for this price point! The mic is clear and the "in the game" feel is as advertised. My only complaint is that the treble is a little shrill. I prefer lower tones, but I would still recommend them because they are outstanding midrange gaming headphones!

This is a sound bar? No way.
on August 16, 2017
Posted by: Mer4343
from Charlotte, NC
I like home theater systems. I want the immersive sound. My wife wants less fuss and smaller footprint. I recently disconnected the ol' receiver and all those speakers and big sub and installed the sleek LG SJ8 just to see if it would compete at all. We have a compromise! Before the praise, let me point out one con I hope to see solved in a software update--that blasted bright LED status light smack in the middle of the beautiful, minimalist, unobtrusive sound bar. Other than that, I have few complaints. No, I can't hear things behind me, but the sound this thing puts out in cinema mode is rich and refined, and immersive enough. I noticed one reviewer remarked there is no way to regulate sudden louder items like commercials--there is a setting for that in the app, look harder. The sub gives me the bass I want with night mode to quell it when others in the home are enjoying quiet time, and the bar itself really serves up nicely defined mids and highs. The app is just okay, I was able to find the finer settings I needed once I got past the "music" portion (LG--Separate that out please!) Set up is straighforward and logical, build quality is excellent for the price point--a brushed black metal look on top is a nice touch. The remote is functional. Bluetooth was simple to set up from other devices (my iphone), and music sounds amazing. Fills our open living room with really good sound, This one is a keeper.

Disappointed
on July 26, 2017
Posted by: Mer4343
from Charlotte, NC
The product is markedly smaller than others like it. The three puck AP's are about the size of a small burger bun, and they are easy to hide. I really like the form factor. Set up is super easy--there is a quick setup card the instruction to plug in a couple cables and get the app. The app walks you through everything from that point on. So far, so good. So why only three stars? The app is frustrating at best for an iPhone user. It is beyond buggy and locks up frequently. The other downfall is the limited number of products compatible with the app. I do not have a Samsung household, and this product claims to control many other brands. It controlled one lightbulb. no vacuum, no security system, no door locks, no irrigation system, no thermostat. I was sorely disappointed. Simply put, the wifi signal is inferior to my original AP's and the smart hub is pretty worthless unless you have a Galaxy phone and Samsung smart devices and appliances. I have no doubt that under those conditions it's wonderful!

Not perfect, but close
on July 21, 2017
Posted by: Mer4343
from Charlotte, NC
We have two short haired dogs who don't shed a ton, but enough. We also have a housekeeper who comes every other week and makes our floors shiny and fur-free, but in the meantime we were vacuuming every day. Enter Roomba. I was dubious. Super easy set-up. Plug and play. Getting it on the WiFi network is a simple process with step by step guidance through the iRobot Home app. Pretty neat to be able to vacuum from the office with my iPhone. But does it actually really vacuum? It totally does! The suction is fantastic, the pattern is a mystery, but it covers every spot. My only complaint is the bin gets full too quickly. The battery lasts a good long time, enough to go over 1200 SF at least, but that doesn't mean much if the bin is full after 500SF. I'm hoping that after a week or so of daily rounds, there simply won't be as much fuzz to fill the bin so fast. This so beats dragging the vacuum out every evening! I have scheduled the Roomba (now named Jeeves) to run every afternoon at 3pm. Poof! No fur upon arriving home after work. LOVE IT!!

Favorite In-Ear Phones
on July 11, 2017
Posted by: Mer4343
from Charlotte, NC
These are incredibly comfortable and stable in my ears. I have another pair from a high end brand that sound great but are clunky and have the feeling they will fall out even though they don't. The JBL Everest 110's are just the opposite. There is a soft touch removable cover on each unit that makes them glide right into place. Every part that touches your ear is easy to remove and wash--I like that a lot. Extras of different sizes are included as well. The actual earpiece is narrower than others I have tried, which makes for a less obtrusive but more snug and stable fit.
Sound is stellar. Clear, clear, CLEAR! Everything you would expect from JBL. These are not noise-cancelling, so traffic noises and other sounds are audible, but even an audio book is immersive in the clarity. Battery life is the best of several BT phones I have tried. These WILL last the day on a charge. The controls are intuitive and easy to manipulate, also soft touch material. All controls and an LED status light are on a small bar separate from the earpieces, including the charging port. I highly recommend.

PERFECT Mouse!!
on June 30, 2017
Posted by: Mer4343
from Charlotte, NC
This mouse has the same functionality as my old M510, only better. It feels higher end and the size is just perfect. It's a little flatter and the angle of my fingers is more natural. The scroll wheel is soooo fast and accurate. I can go one click at a time or zoom right down the page. I love the button on the top middle of the mouse. I click the botton and swipe the mouse to the left, and my window locks left, right, locks right. So much easier than pushing down on the actual wheel itself as in previous versions. The side buttons that I assign to copy and paste are positioned more naturally too. Being able to use one mouse across two PC's is really convenient too.

WOW! but it's a beast
on June 23, 2017
Posted by: Mer4343
from Charlotte, NC
Upon pulling this speaker out of the box, I was transported right back to 6th grade and my favorite "Jam Box" that went everywhere with me. Think the ones you carried on a shoulder, not the behemoth ones that contained an entire rack system. The Nyne X-Series Rock is indeed portable. It is NOT small. It has a handle molded right into the well-constructed, uniquely shaped, soft-touch body which allows you to take it where you go, but it needs space, and you wouldn't want to carry it long. The LED lit controls are bold and simple. The splash proof ports are well executed--this one takes DC charger, no USB charging this beast. The battery lasts a good 7-8 hours. But the SOUND! I was absolutely blown back by the sound this thing puts out. I felt like the Maxell guy in the chair in same year of that old Jam Box. Kids, look it up. Anyway, the bass is amazing--clear and wall shaking. To say this portable fills a room is an understatement. Of course you won't get home theater level sound from a portable, but the Rock puts out great sound for a party around the pool, or a car campout, or just music to clean by on a random Saturday. You won't tuck this in a bag or hide it on shelf, but it's certainly worth the $$ for that level of sound.

Great sound, light and comfy
on June 15, 2017
Posted by: Mer4343
from Charlotte, NC
Keep in mind these are NOT noise cancelling. They are light and comfortable, with easy to learn controls and great sound quality. The construction is well done with metal parts and soft touch materials. The cushioning is just right, and the fit is easy, I like the angles of the hinges which seemed to allow for more "give" when adjusting the fit. I particularly liked the one button control for volume, phone calls, and tracks. Instructions are simple and to the point. Battery life is fantastic! You'll have tunes for days with these, and you can still hear the outside world should you need to. You can pair up to five devices, and that process is easy and quick as well.
The packaging is a little odd, as you'll need to remove a black cloth from the plastic insert to get to the power cable and carrying pouch. That has no bearing on the headphones themselves, but it makes unboxing awkward.

Need to know basics, cool features
on May 30, 2017
Posted by: Mer4343
from Charlotte, NC
This is a dimmer, not a light switch. You'll need to know some basics prior to installation since the placement of wires is precise. Not hard at all, but not as simple as changing a light bulb. We don't have a smart home yet, but we do have a need for a smart light in the living room to make it appear we are home when we are traveling. This little guy fits the bill, and dims as well. The iPhone app is easy to set up, and being able to have the light on at an ambient level upon arrival is a nice welcome home, especially with guests after an evening out.
