Excellent Gaming headset!

CORSAIR - VIRTUOSO RGB Wireless Stereo Gaming Headset design is solid for durability and comfort to wear for a long period of time. I have been using various types of headsets for gaming and listening to music. CORSAIR - VIRTUOSO is perfectly balanced to fit and very lightweight as well. I have not faced any discomfort using this headset for a long period of time. Volume control buttons, 3.5mm jack, and USB C port are available on the sides of headset. It is nice to see that USB C port is provided to charge the headset.
The audio quality is outstanding with CORSAIR - VIRTUOS. I have been using this headset for many hours each day and there are no connectivity issues as well. Battery life is really good and came close to 20 hours. CORSAIR - VIRTUOSO is one of the best headsets for Gaming. I have been using this headset even for my office skype calls and it is working perfectly. The range is really good and I can walk around during the calls and there are absolutely no issues with signal. I am surprised that there is no Bluetooth option and USB receiver should be used for wireless capability. There is a toggle to switch between wired and wireless connection on the headphone. The microphone is detachable which is a very nice feature. ICUE app is great and provides the option to customize the colors and there are other settings configured as well.
I highly recommend this headset to everyone due to design, audio quality and long battery life.

Outstanding All Weather Outdoor Speakers!
on October 23, 2019

I have been looking for outdoor music system in the backyard and pool. I got Sonance - MAG 4.1 Outdoor Streaming Music System to fulfill my need. It came with Sonos AMP 250W Class D Amplifier, 4 satellite speakers, In-ground subwoofer, 2 Sonos banana plugs, 4 removable speaker stakes, 10 silicone filled wire nuts, iPort xPRESS audio keypad, Micro-USB to USB cable, Peel & Stick mount, mounting screws, Power cable and Owner's manual in the box.
After unboxing, I have spent close to 2 hours in the backyard by digging the ground to run speaker wires and install the speakers. It did not come with longer speaker cables and I have ordered them from the local store. It should have been included with the speakers. After placing speakers and sub-woofer, I have downloaded the SONOS app and played music to make sure that everything is working as expected. I was able to access all music libraries from various music streaming apps.
These Sonance outdoor speakers featured with 3 1/2" anodized aluminum cone and Santoprene™ surround for precision performance with balanced coverage and 8" in-ground dual voice-coil subwoofer to create optimal music enjoyment with bass. These speakers are built for all weather conditions.
The sound quality is simply outstanding. I have adjusted the subwoofer settings and it is a mind-blowing sound experience. With Integrated multiroom control, I was able to control what's playing in any room from anywhere in my house. With Sonos Controller app, I was able to control the music and the volume in all of my rooms.
I am a big fan of Sonance products after listening to music from these outstanding outdoor speakers. I am planning to buy more indoor speakers to get similar sound quality experience inside the home as well. We had a backyard party last week and all of my friends were impressed with the sound quality of these speakers. I cannot express the sound quality in words until you feel the experience after installing it at your home.

Outstanding In-Ceiling speakers! Excellent Sound!

I have been looking to replace my existing in-wall speakers with high-quality speakers. I am very particular with sound quality and brand. I got Sonance - Magnolia 8" Passive 2-Way In-Ceiling Speakers (Pair).
The packing was perfect. It came with two MAG8R speakers with pointable grilles and mounting cut-out template. Setup was pretty easy for MAG8R 8” 2-Way speakers. I have installed the speakers around 7 feet apart with the main listening position. It looks beautiful on the wall with the provided micro-film grille. The grille attached to speakers very nicely due to magnets. If the installation is perfect, the grille trim should make contact with the wall all the way around the speaker.
MAG8NR specifications are Frequency Response as 40H – 20kHz +-3dB,
Impedance is 8 ohms nominal; 6 ohms minimum and Power Handling 5 watts minimum, 150 watts maximum. I have done auto re-calibration in my pioneer due to new speakers installed. After the calibration, I have played a few songs and movie clips. The sound quality is excellent and way better than my previous in-wall speakers. I am planning to change all my surround in-wall speakers with MAG8R on my 9.2 speaker setup.

The Brother - HL-L3290CDW Wireless Color All-In-One Printer is very compact and packed with powerful features for print, scan and copy. Setup was very easy and it came with Brother HL-L3290CDW Wireless Color All-In-One Printer, CD-ROM includes printer drivers, DR223CL drum unit set (approx. 18,000 pgs) and Quick set-up guide. I have connected with my desktop using the USB cable provided for the initial setup and downloaded the latest software from the brother site. I have followed the instructions to configure the printer to print over the wireless. After the software installation and configuring the printer, I was able to see this printer on a home network to print from any device. It is very convenient to print from other devices and my son is using this printer every day for his school work and printing from his laptop.
It has a 1.92" high-resolution monochrome LCD screen to print, store files and business apps directly from your printer. This printer can print up to 25 ppm in black and color. It can handle large volumes quickly at a low cost per page. Toner is using powder instead of ink to get smudge-free images and text. It has featured with Apple Airprint enabled to print from iPad and iPhone or with free Brother iPrint&Scan app.

This printer works with Brother TN223 and TN227 toners. The Starter Black/Cyan/Yellow/Magenta toner cartridges yield up to 1,000 pages and the DR223CL drum unit set can yield approx. 18,000 pages. The resolution of printing is superior quality and it can print up to 600 x 2400 dpi (dots per inch) color resolution. The paper tray can hold up to 250 sheets input capacity and 150 sheet output bin. Four individual print cartridges are economical and easy to replace toner cartridges (black, cyan, magenta and yellow) when a color runs out.
The design is very good with stylus looking. I have been using InkJet printers and cheap laser printers before and Brother - HL-L3290CDW Wireless Color All-In-One Printer is huge upgrade. This printer does not have an automatic document feeder which is a really important feature to scan multiple documents quickly. I am using this every day for copy, print, and scan for my personal and office work. It is one of the best printers in the market with excellent configuration. I highly recommend this printer for home and office use and now I am a big fan of Brother products.

Compact pocket size photo printer!

Setup is quick and easy for HP Sprocket Select Photo Printer. It came with HP Sprocket Select Photo Printer, HP Sprocket Plus photo paper (10 sheets), USB charging cable and Owner’s manual. I have charged the printer before starting the setup process.
I have downloaded HP Sprocket app and followed the instructions to complete the setup. It can print glossy 2.3 x 3.4-inch sticky-backed photos for journals and other creative projects. I have printed a few photos from the phone gallery and quality came really good.
The size of the printer is really small about cell phone size and it can be carried anywhere due to its compact size. I have purchased 100 sheets of zink paper to use it for my daughter’s school projects. She already used this printer for her two of her projects to print photos. It is a perfect printer for school projects as it prints photos in small size.
The battery life is really good. The only issue is the cost of print for each photo and it will be around 50 cents and you can print photos less than 15 cents.

2 out of 5Not worth for the price
By Jacobs

I bought this router to replace my perfectly working Asus RT-66R model. I wanted to change my router just to get bit more range in my new 2200sqft home. Prior to getting this router I have tried one of the best range extender Ampedwireless AE-20. It’s range was excellent, but connection was very much degraded and struggled to get connected at times though it was set up to clone settings from original router.
So, after reading few positive reviews on BBY and mixed reviews on amazon, I decided to give new Nighthawk R8000 a try. I am happy with its slightly improved range than Asus and very much disappointed with its 2.4Ghz performance. I have more than 15 years of network experience and I really don’t bother tech support unless until it is really out of my hand and hardware specific.
Here I am trying to do a fair comparison with two routers I have (Asus & Netgear) + sign means “better” and – signs means “poor”
Wired Connection:
+ RT-66R has excellent wired connection which works at par with Motorola SB6141’s consistency
+ RT-66R has excellent wired connection which works at par with Motorola SB6141’s consistency

+RT-66R has excellent connection with 80~Mbps out of my actual 120~Mbps ISP feed at channel 6 with 450 Mbps capability.
- R8000 is a complete failure in terms of 2.4Gh network
I have tried all available channels and found it degrade my 120~Mbps connection 1-14 ~ Mbps
I have tried all available channels and found it degrade my 120~Mbps connection 1-14 ~ Mbps
At this point I called customer service and it sounded like they kind of aware of the issue. With minimal trouble shooting and changing the channels to their recommended channels (01, 06, 09 & 11), there was no improvement. So they asked me to degrade from 600Mpbs to 289Mbps and it started working.
So technically now their claim of 3200Mbps became 2911Mbps.
Access Control:
+ RT-66R has fairly good access control capabilities. You can schedule what time of the day each device can access the internet. This feature is important for me as I found it is very useful with kids on top of parental control settings.
+ RT-66R has fairly good access control capabilities. You can schedule what time of the day each device can access the internet. This feature is important for me as I found it is very useful with kids on top of parental control settings.
- R8000 access control only let you allow or deny connecting a particular device. You cannot decide what time it should be able to connect. – Major drawback for me.
Parental Control:
- RT-66R has poor parental control settings, but with an option to point DNS to OpenDNS we can achieve better parental control settings with their FREE offerings.
+R8000 – also use OpenDNS but with dedicated service assigned to netgear so that you can add bypass account also which can’t be done with OpenDNS free account. This is the only additional benefit I found with this router so far compared to RT-66R.
VPN:
+ RT-66R is also able to use OpenVPN with mobile access with their free App. I was abe to access local network using iOS and Android devices with no issues.

- R8000 – could not find any documentation about cloud access. Only information I found is about ReadyCloud and it is dedicated to Netgear NAS only. Another major setback for an expensive router.
Web GUI:
Though Netgear has a simple interface and easy to follow GUI, it lack modern look and feeling. I like Asus GUI better.

- Netgear – Though I received prompt customer service when I called, it was shocking to learn that the phone support is only available for 90 days of purchase, then you have to pay PREMIUM subscription to get phone support.
CONCLUSION:
I have thoroughly tested all important feature that I need. Rest of the features are generic to me and I am not bothered much about them.
I am sure this router with Dual 5.0Ghz network will be very useful for those who have new wireless devices. For me I have a lot of devices that depends on 2.4Ghz frequency such as smoke detectors, thermostat, laptop that connects to NAS for backup etc. and degraded and unreliable 2.4Ghz network make it absolutely worthless considering the amount I spent on this router.
I am seriously thinking to take this back to the store. I don’t see any point in spending almost double amount of money to get a couple of benefits and a lot of drawbacks and pay for a premium to get their phone support if needed to an overpriced product.
I would not recommend this router at its current price and it is unable to meet its original claims and comes with a premium phone support after 90 days.

It is equally positioned with iPad Pro.
Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 screen has a 9.7-inch 1536 x 2048 Super AMOLED display with support of HDR content and it matches the iPad Pro 9.7 in size and resolution. Samsung Tab S3's screen size and resolution have not changed with pixel density of 264 pixels per inch. It has Super AMOLED display, for brighter, richer colors. The main upgrade over the Tab S2 is HDR content support. There is not a huge amount of HDR content yet, but once there is this it will be really helpful with Samsung Galaxy Tab S3. Another big change for this model is that there's no 8.0-inch option, Tab S3 only coming in a 9.7-inch size.
Tab S3 has metal and glass build with similar size to Tab S2. Samsung upgraded the design for the Galaxy Tab S3, replacing the soft plastic back of the Tab S2 with a glass one, but retaining the metal frame. The overall appearance like an oversized Samsung Galaxy S7.
While cameras are never the highlight of a tablet, Samsung Tab S3 came with 13MP back side camera and 5MP front facing camera with LED flash. It does include an autofocus and can record 4K video at 30fps.Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 came with 6,000mAh one and it can last up to 12 hours of video playback. I have used more than 10 hours without any issues. It supports fast charging via USB Type-C, so you shouldn't be waiting too long.
Tab S3 runs the latest major version of Android 7.0 overlaid with Samsung's own interface. It came with quad-core Snapdragon 820 chipset and 4GB of RAM. The Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 only comes in one size - 32GB, but it also has a microSD card slot with support for cards of up to 256GB if you need more storage for apps and games.
Beyond the core specifications, Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 is packed full of features, including support for Samsung's S Pen stylus. This is the latest and greatest version of the stylus, with a smaller 0.7mm tip and increased pressure sensitivity. It also works with S Pen features like Screen Off Memo, which lets you take down notes without turning the screen on or launching an app. The Tab S3 also supports keyboards using a pogo connection, so all that along with the screen specification make this remarkably similar to the iPad Pro 9.7.
It has 4 stereo speakers tuned by AKG promises distortion free sounds. It came with fingerprint scanner and it supports Samsung Flow, which can sync notifications between your tablet and Galaxy handset.

• 9.7-inch 1536 x 2048 Super AMOLED display

Hi Malack,
Apps can be downloaded from Google Play or Samsung Store. If you are looking for side loading apps from 3rd party, you can do that as well. It is similar like S2 with upgraded features.
