Great silence and Sound
on September 8, 2021
Posted by: NyVetteGuy
from Westchester Cty, NY
I have a problem and that is an addiction to True Wireless Earphones, I have too many to mention and can’t keep from adding to my collection of headphones.
The Devialet Gemini True Wireless earbuds come in a Qi charging case. The case itself is not the smallest but is a reasonable enough size to be able to keep in your pocket. The earbuds themselves are the perfect size in my opinion, others are somewhat bulky but these fit nicely in the ear and don’t stick out far at all, the fit with the included silicone tips is customizable with four different sizes included.
While you can use a wireless Qi charger, the case also charges with a USB C Cable if you so desire. You get about 6 hours use from the Geminis depending upon your use of noise cancellation which will reduce your usage time. When the ear buds are placed back in the case to charge you get about 3x charging for a total of up to 24 Hrs possible usage.
Once the case and buds are fully charged, the pairing process as described in the sparse manual should be easy, it took me a couple of try’s but I finally got them to pair with my iPhone and then I paired with my iPad as well with no issues, they are not multipoint however and can only be connected to one source at a time.
There is a companion app available from both app stores and once connected to the app there is the ability to customize your EQ as well as strength of noise canceling and the ability to put into transparency mode to hear a conversation or sounds around you. Once in the app you can check the battery level of the charging case itself or each earbud.
One of the most interesting features is Ear Active Matching (EAM) which reads your inner ear canal and tailors the sound to your individual ears.
All of this doesn’t matter if they don’t sound good. I’m here to tell you the Devialet Geminis sound GREAT. Highs, mids and bass are all crystal clear and they have a good sound stage. Active Noise Cancellation is some of the best I’ve encountered, pretty much tied in my mind with the pinnacle at this time with the Sony XM4’s. When watching YouTube and other videos there is no sound lag whatsoever which can be annoying if present.
Overall I’d say these are a definite keeper and will be a much used part of my ever growing collection and pretty much my go to pair for a while.

Quick Reliable Storage
on August 17, 2021
Posted by: NyVetteGuy
from Westchester Cty, NY
My WD Black P10 arrived while I was on vacation and I couldnt wait to get home to hook it up and try it out. Plug and Play set up is a breeze with the included USB A - Micro B cable.
I have tons of room now to store multiple games.
I've found access to be fast and games play with no issues, the drive itself does make some noise but as with any physical drive, that's to be expected.
If you are looking for reliable external X-Box storage, the WD Black P10 is a fantastic option.

The electric kettle that pours as good as it looks! Uniting stunning design with thoughtful features and a simplistic user interface, Fellow’s Stagg EKG packs a powerful punch. Since different coffees and brew methods require different water temperatures, a home brewer needs complete control in order to perfect recipes. Simply press down on Stagg EKG’s dial to turn the kettle on and twist the dial to set your goal temperature. With a 1200 watt quick-heating element and a unique PID sensor system, Stagg EKG’s to-the-degree temperature control lets you select the exact temperature from 135°F to 212°F. The base also has two switches to toggle between Celsius and Fahrenheit, as well as a toggle for HOLD mode to keep your water hot for 60 minutes. To engage the Brew Stopwatch on the high-res LCD screen to time your pour-over, press and hold on the dial. A counterbalanced handle and fluted spout tip make imprecise pouring a thing of the past.

Perfect Coffee or Tea EVERY time…
on June 28, 2021
Posted by: NyVetteGuy
from Westchester Cty, NY
I was very excited to get the Stagg EKG Kettle as the most important thing to me is tea and coffee that are at the proper temperature.
Operation is simple as plugging it in and turning it on.
Once you add water, turn on, set the desired temp and within just over 5 minutes your water is ready to go, lower temps will be reached at quicker times, I tested for the max at 212 degrees Fahrenheit.
You can also set a hold temp that will be held for up to 60 minutes. If you don’t set a hold time the kettle will only maintain temp for 5 minutes.
Overall I think this is a great kitchen addition.
The only complaint I have is there is no beep or noise to let you know you have reached your desired temp, otherwise it’s perfect.
Pics are of the Stagg EKG and of the timer indicating the amount of time it took to get to 212 degrees.

Perfect Gaming Machine
on June 17, 2021
Posted by: NyVetteGuy
from Westchester Cty, NY
Everything that one would look for in a gaming laptop is present in the ASUS - GU603 / ROG 16" WQXGA 165Hz Gaming Laptop, you can of course also use it for more mundane things such as email, word, etc
Construction of the body is typical for laptops today, I think laptops could all feel a little more sturdy than they do nowadays, its just the nature of how most manufacturers build them now.
There is a layer of dots on the lid that reflect colors that appear iridescent which is pretty cool and the GU603 has 6 speakers that sound fantastic with any source material.
On the bottom is an interesting rubber foot that runs the length of the back of the bottom that facilitates the GU603 sitting at a nice angle.
On the sides are the plug for the power brick, 2 thunderbolt inputs as well as 2 USB, HDMI and a slot for a micro SD card that is very convenient.
The button to power up the GU603 is also a finger print scanner that once programmed allows easy fingerprint sign in which is a very convenient feature. Keyboard clicks feel good and the Aura function for the keyboard backlighting can be configured to backlight many different colors.
As for the 16:10 screen, its nothing short of spectacular. Its got a 165Hz refresh rate and its great for gaming, video streaming etc Brightness, contrast and blacks are great as well.
There is also an HD Webcam at the top of the screen for video, and included are 16GB of RAM and a 1TB SSD HD.
Now to gaming performance, I must say I couldn’t be happier, the game rendering takes every advantage of the spectacular screen, unbelievable frame rates, and sound from the 6 speakers, just adds to the experience. It all just ties together perfectly.
The ASUS - GU603 made any game I threw at it play with ease including GTA V, COD, and Forza Horizon to name a few.
All this takes a lot of juice and in my experience I got just over 6 hrs of use before needing to plug in to charge.
If you need a laptop capable of anything that you throw at it, look no further, the ASUS - GU603 is all that and then some.

With red and blue flashing lights, bright spotlights, two-way audio, and loud sirens, you can intimidate intruders and prevent crime from happening, and these features are controllable remotely in the Swann Security app. You get free local recording for up to 180 days+ onto the massive 1TB hard drive and the option to backup video to your Dropbox account. Know what’s happening at any hour with powerful infrared night vision up to 115’/35m and Night2Day™ gives you amazing color video at night up to 32’/10m. Swann’s True Detect™ heat and motion detection senses people and cars for more reliable monitoring and fewer false alarms. The 4K Ultra HD video and powerful digital zoom, the cameras let you actively watch over entrances, yards, driveways, parking lots, shop floors, storerooms, and customer service areas. With the Swann Security app, push notifications let you know what’s happening and you can even watch live or playback video on your smartphone from anywhere in the world. In fact, you can view any of the cameras on your smart TV, and speak to see hands-free via Hey Google and Alexa devices. The cameras plug into power while their video signal back to the NVR is transmitted wirelessly, so you don’t have to worry about drilling into walls and running cables anywhere. The NVR connects to your internet router via the included network cable or Wi-Fi, while the new SwannNet™ technology allows you to select whether each camera connects to the NVR or your home Wi-Fi, meaning you can choose whichever network has a stronger Wi-Fi signal. This gives you greater flexibility to place the cameras where they need to be, and their robust indoor/outdoor design is built to withstand rain, snow and heat, all year round. That’s the SecureAlert Wi-Fi NVR Security System – it’s another example of security made smarter from Swann.

Ease of use and installation…great video to boot!
on June 8, 2021
Posted by: NyVetteGuy

The Swann - Enforcer 4-Channel, 4-Camera Indoor/Outdoor 4K UHD Wireless Wi-Fi NVR Security Surveillance System solves the main problem most people struggle with when looking into utilizing and installing a camera system in their home…the wiring.
With the only thing necessary to get your cameras up and running being access to an outlet and a Wi-Fi signal, the Swann - Enforcer removes the barrier of having to run wiring to cameras from a Video Recorder.
The system is easy to setup and configure and comes with 4 cameras and the Digital NVR recorder that has an amazing 1TB of storage space.
The picture quality is amazing and along with the companion app you can easily access the cameras and recordings.
I do have a very robust Wi-Fi network in my house so I had no connectivity issues with the cameras etc, that’s the only potential watch out I’d say, make sure your wireless network in your house is strong.
Overall Id very strongly recommend this wireless security system to contribute to you and your family's peace of mind.

Great for those new to light therapy
on June 8, 2021
Posted by: NyVetteGuy
from Westchester Cty, NY
I am new to and a bit skeptical about light therapy so I wanted to give this a long term test.
The design is sleek and minimalist and will fit in with most decors, you would be fine with leaving it out for others to see.
Its easy to set up and I found that the best way to get any benefit from the Circadian Optics - Lumine Light Therapy Lamp is to not stare into or at it but have the light bathe you from an angle.
I’ve found the best time to use the Circadian Optics - Lumine is the morning and along with my coffee, it has become part of my morning pick me up routine, I have my coffee and read the newspaper all the while soaking in the benefits of the Lumine which then leads to less fatigue throughout the day for me.
I’m looking forward to seeing how this will help during the winter months when its more dark than light out.
For the price… to me you cant beat the potential benefits to your well being.

Compact / Waterproof / Great Sound
on May 27, 2021
Posted by: NyVetteGuy
from Westchester Cty, NY
The Soundcore Select Pro is a great sounding portable speaker with a lightshow to boot!
Charging is simple with the supplied USB C cable, and pairing with your phones bluetooth is also seamless.
Download the Soundcore App from the Apple App store or Google Play.
From the app you can manage EQ settings, using one of the included presets or customize your own, I chose to use the custom EQ settings to adjust the sound to my liking.
From the app you can also customize the light show settings, check the battery level, adjust the volume and also perform any firmware updates as they come available.
And not only is the Soundcore Select Pro waterproof...but it floats!
Music reproduction is fantastic with the BassUp technology and the extended treble functionality.
Battery life is up to 16hrs between charges so you will get a full day of entertainment at the beach or pool this summer without having to sorry about battery life.
The Soundcore Select Pro is the perfect companion for outdoor fun in the sun!

BIG things come in small packages
on May 27, 2021
Posted by: NyVetteGuy
from Westchester Cty, NY
The Sony - XB13 EXTRA BASS speaker is compact, lightweight and therefore easy to take with you wherever you go.
Packaging is typical Sony, which means very safely packed.
Charging is simple with the supplied USB C Cable.
Pairing with your phone is also simple and straightforward, i paired mine with an iPhone 12 Pro Max.
Now to the sound...two words...HOLY MACKERAL!
I truly did not expect to hear the sound and bass quality that the Sony - XB13 EXTRA BASS produces and it sure lives up to its name.
Sound is rich and not muddy, highs sound great and its just overall a fantastic little speaker.
Its waterproof so thats a bonus and it has a convenient carrying strap thats included.
I also use the Sony - XB13 EXTRA BASS for phone calls and its performance for me was stellar with calls as well.
The only complaint I have and its a minor one is the included USB C cable is very short, it could have been a little longer, I do have other longer cables but it would have been nice to have this one be slightly longer.
I cant say enough good things about this great little speaker.

Not the best sound...but a good idea...
on May 17, 2021
Posted by: NyVetteGuy
from Westchester Cty, NY
I dont know what I was expecting from the JLAB True Wireless JBuds Frames,although I thought its a cool idea to have wireless speakers that attach to your glasses, thereby facilitating the ability to be aware of your surroundings rather than sealing out all ambient sound.
The mounting is secure but only on the right kind of frames, I found they were more secure on thinner metal frame arms and less secure on thicker plastic frames and would sometimes pop off the frames.
Charging is easy but its with proprietary magnetic charging ends rather than micro usb so if you lose the cable you cant charge your Jbuds Frames.
Pairing is easy and so is charging but thats where the good news ends.
Sound quality is sub par, no matter what EQ setting you choose inlcuding the "Bass Boost" setting. Volume, even at the highest setting is too low and its hard for the JLAB Frames to be heard over the ambient noise in anything but the quietest surroundings.
They work for phone calls as well, but the same issues mentioned above make them less than stellar.
I gave the JLAB Frames 3 stars as its a cool idea and if you go in with your eyes open I guess someone will find a use for them, me personally, not so much.
