Solid Earbuds
on January 11, 2021
Posted by: Mark
from Los Angeles
I've owned several Bose products. I've also owned several sports audio products. I've been running for more than 10 years. I've also run several marathons. When I look for earbuds I do not look for the price. I look for durability as I sweat a lot. I sweat more than the average bear. I've head expensive audio earbuds that lasted me 2-3 months and I have also had inexpensive earbuds that have lasted me more than 2 years. I run 3-5 days a week.
I was skeptical about Bose going to the sports audio products. (I never used the previous model so I cannot give my review of the pros and cons of the models.
My first impression was the real cool Bose case. It has magnetized strips that are used to keep it locked. It is also made up of durable material, so I don't have to worry about being damaged in my gym bag. Also was how light these earbuds are! It feels like you are not wearing anything at all. The earbuds hold on tight to my ears as they tighten by the ear itself. I slide them into position. I couldn't adjust the earbuds I guess its based on the shape of your ear. I did not have any problems adjusting.
I had to download a Bose app so I can sync via Bluetooth to my music app. I am not sure if you can sync up without the Bose app, but it is probably a good idea since it was updating the firmware once it found my earbuds.
The sound was good. Clear, and not to muffled. Highs and lows were good. I did notice that they were not loud as I wanted them to be. A lot lower than what I am accustomed. After a while its not to bad. Just a warning for anyone who likes to play loud music.
Another thing I felt uncomfortable with is where the audio comes out in the earbud. I notice there's a small cut out inside the earbuds. I assume is where the sound comes out. I worry because of my sweat and the last thing I would want to do is distort the audio due to sweat being trapped in the speakers. It is something I will be watching out for when I finish working out.
I've used these earbuds 3 times already so I will see how long they will last me. I've always had good experiences with Bose products so I am hopeful it will be the same with these earbuds. I recommend!

Perfect for Home Offices/Zoom Classes
on January 11, 2021
Posted by: Mark
from Los Angeles
I recently started grad school. I also purchased a new laptop and an external monitor that connects via USB. I wanted to use it for my zoom classes and remote work. Prior to the Dell product, I used to connect a lot of USB type-c connectors and have a lot of cables coming out of my laptop.
The Dell mobile adapter speakerphone takes away the cables. It has two USBs, 1 HDMI, 1 type USB (I used it as a charge port), and a built-in microphone. The control buttons are on top of the speaker. You can answer, hang up, increase or decrease volume, and a mute option.
I used this speaker for my zoom classes. The audio quality sounds good when the professor speaks. It's not too loud or low. I can hear it clearly. I did notice it sounds muffled or too many lows sometimes, mostly when the speaker plays a video. I did find the speaker making a cracking noise.
I also used this speaker to play music. I do not recommend it. The music quality from the speaker is poor. You are better of listening to music through your headphones or computer speakers.
I connect my external monitor to the Dell Mobile speaker via USB. I notice is that my external monitor does not work without a power source cable connected to the Dell speakerphone. I used to be able to connect my external monitor directly to the laptop and it works fine. I tried adding the Dell speakerphone with only the laptop and the external monitor does not work. It is disappointing because I am not always gonna be next to a power outlet. I find myself being connected to the power outlet if I want to use both the Dell speakerphone and external monitor. I thought this was important to bring up. I want to like the Dell speakerphone. I like the idea as it eliminates additional cables, and has a built-in speaker but it still feels like it's needs improvements. I still plan to use it for my classes and work.

A Simplified Adobe Photoshop
on December 15, 2020
Posted by: Mark
from Los Angeles
I've never owned Adobe software, but I have used it in a classroom setting. I am familiar with some functions. Originally, I was surprised to see how inexpensive this software was as it included both Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements 2021. I notice Photoshop Elements has a "guided and expert" option for users with different skill sets which I found useful. At first, I used the guided option to familiarize myself with the program. I like that I can hover my mouse over the options and it explains every option. I later graduated to the expert mode. I soon started editing some old pictures, removed some damaged areas, and cropped out some images with ease.
I have an old family photo album I've been trying to upload pics online for the family, but also touch, enhancing, and edit the photos as well. I looked up a couple of instructional videos to better navigate the program better, but once I got it everything was a breeze.
The Premiere Elements uses Adobe Sensei AI Technology to edit videos. You can group or split videos. You can also add photos and personalize them to make home videos for the family. The AI technology made my video editing really easy. I am a musician and I like to make little videos for my music for Instagram. I am definitely going to be using this program for my videos. I highly recommend this software for photo editing and video editing instead of the default PC or MAC programs. For the price, you cannot beat it!

Setup is easy with a simple connection to your TV while Bluetooth lets you stream wirelessly from your mobile devices.

Good Soundbar for -55 inch tv's
on December 7, 2020
Posted by: Mark
from Los Angeles
I recently purchased a new TV. My previous tv was 55 inches. I upgraded to 65 inches. I was in the market for a soundbar at an affordable price. I always knew Yamaha was a good reliable brand.
The packaging is simple: soundbar, optical cable, and power cord. It's a combination soundbar it has a subwoofer and regular speakers. I was skeptical since it was small and didn't look like it had a lot of bass power. I was surprised at how well it performs after watching some action movies. It didn't blow me away but it handles the lows and highs well. I decided to use both my computer speakers and soundbar to play audio simultaneously to give it that extra boost.
I don't think this speaker is powerful enough for my 65-inch tv, but it does okay considering I live in a studio, but if I had a home with a large living this would not be loud enough; that is why I recommend this soundbar for tv's 55 inches or higher.
Bluetooth works well. I can use Spotify from my phone without a problem. Also, I did have a difficult time using one controller to use both the soundbar and tv. I ended up using Bluetooth to connect with my tv so I can use both products with one controller.
Overall, I am pleased with the soundbar. It's just enough loudness for my studio. I would recommend for tv's below 55 inches not for bigger tv's. It's compact design makes it a great soundbar. I recommend for smaller tv's

Nice Webcam and Portable
on November 6, 2020
Posted by: Mark
from Los Angeles
I needed a new webcam for my zoom classes. I needed one for my home desktop. The packaging is very simple and to the point. The packaging included the webcam, a webcam cover, instructions, and USB wire. The webcam weighs about .3 pounds, very light. No option for 360 rotation, but does have an integrated microphone. The maximum frame rate is 30 fps.
The installation was very simple. I did not download any software, just went to my system preferences and I was done. Very simple. I did notice in darker settings the webcam didn't perform up to par. It was pixelled and grainy in these settings. That's the only thing I did not like.
Overall the price and size of the webcam are a great value. It's travel size and sturdy enough to fit in my backpack. I recommend it!

Easy to Install and Functional
on October 6, 2020
Posted by: Mark
from Los Angeles
I normally drive to my local water refilling station to get my H2O, but due to the virus I have remained home only going out when it's essential. I never owned a water filter, so this review is based on my first experience.
The set up was very easy. I turned off the water and I attached the faucet water hose to the filter head. I later connected the water supply hose as well. I attached the filter and I was done! Easy Peasy. I did notice low water pressure, but I expected that. The filter is small. I was still able to organize my stuff as I had it before.
The water filters are inexpensive too. I want to avoid going out as much as possible, so I placed an order for 2 more online. So far so good.
It removes lead and harmful chemicals and it tastes better too. It also gives me peace of mind knowing I don't have to go out when I run out of water. I highly recommend it. It is inexpensive and a good time to buy one right now due to the pandemic.

Perfect on the Road
on September 21, 2020
Posted by: Mark
from Los Angeles
I just purchased a new laptop for my graduate studies. I was in the market for a new mouse since my old one gave out on me a few weeks. The first impression of this mouse was how sturdy it felt. Very durable material was used in this mouse. I simply took the mouse out of the box, charged it for 30 minutes, synced it with my laptop and that was it! I did not have to use the bluetooth USB. I have an extra USB slot now for my limited type-C connections. The scroll wheel the stop of the mouse is very smooth and responsive.
You can control up to 3 devices (not at once) with this mouse. So far I've only used this mouth with my new Macpro laptop and my late 2018 iPad. I've had no problems with either. I am currently using this mouse specifically for school. I carry my laptop around a lot and have limited spacing in my laptop bag. The mouse is so portable that it fits with all my other cables and USB connectors without a problem.
I've only used this mouse in wood surfaces. The mouse has Darkfield tracking, which states that it can track on any surface including glass. I don't have class tables so I cannot comment on it.
The mouse has six buttons, which can be used for custom commands. I haven't programmed these buttons yet, but you can go to Logitech's MX Anywhere 3's website for customization options.
The mouse if very smooth and has a comfortable grip. I have developed early stages of carpel tunnel so I sometimes get soreness or light pain when typing or using the mouse. The quick responsiveness of this mouth makes it easier for me to navigate. Logitech states the mouse battery life lasts 70 days on a full charge. I've only had it for 1 week so I cannot comment on the battery longevity but so far no issue. I did a full charge on the first day only.
I really like this mouth. It's functional, durable, responsive, and stylish. I will definitely be using throughout my graduate studies. I recommend!

Functional and Stylish
on September 21, 2020
Posted by: Mark
from Los Angeles
I've been having my coffee maker for years but was in the market for a preprogrammed option for those busy mornings. I was not disappointed. I've never owned a Mr. Coffee maker, but I've owned several other coffee makers. Avid coffee drinker here.
The first impression was how nice it looks, its stainless steel, black, and silver. I already owned a lot of black and silver appliances so this was perfect. I like that the coffee maker has the option of brew strength, timer, and clock. All very easy to use options.
I bought a coffee measuring cup to have the perfect amount of coffee with every brew. I used it this morning. The coffee came out great! Very easy to use. The coffee maker also comes with a water filter, it is used when hot water is poored into the coffee filter. I didn't notice the difference but its cool that they have this feature which only adds to the already stylish look.
The coffee pot sits firmly inside the coffee maker, unlike my previous one which I would always worried about sliding off. The only bad thing I would say is that you'll have to move the coffee pot horizontally away from the coffee maker instead of just picking it up vertically. Nothing out of the ordinary.
I really like this coffee maker. It's very stylish and functional. Due to the pandemic, I don't have enough company to brew for 12 cups but definately love the ease of use and look of this coffee maker. The price doesn't break the bank either. I recommend.

Easy to Use and Clean
on September 14, 2020
Posted by: Mark
from Los Angeles
I never had air fryer before. I normally use a convection oven. I bought some chicken legs and sweet potatoes so I can cook it over the weekend. I looked up some seasoning recipes put some grape seed oil on top, set the preprogrammed settings, and I was done. It was very simple. I was skeptical about cooking chicken wings and legs with the pre program setting. I added 5 minutes just in case. The end product was great!
The chicken was well cooked. Looked like something out of a restaurant. The sweet potato fries was crispy. The greatest thing about this product was the cleaning. The bottom part of the fryer comes off it makes it easier for washing. No mess and oil spilling just chicken and sweet potato fries. I am definitely going to use it moving forward for my frying needs. I hated using oil as it gets messy and convection oven took too long And I had to wait for the right temperature.
The only bad thing I would say about this air fryer is that it does not have a divider. I got an 8quart fryer. I have more than enough space to fry other food options. Other than that, this appliance is great. My girlfriend loves it. I highly recommend!!

Very Cool & Fun
on August 27, 2020
Posted by: Mark
from Los Angeles
I always wanted a racing set up for gaming. This is my first time reviewing one. First, I notice how sturdy this product is and is well built. The pedals are as well. The Trueforce is excellent and adds to the experience.
The set up was easy. Connect the wires, plug into tv, and done; cables are located at the bottom of the steering wheel. The box comes with the steering wheel and pedals only. The bottom of the steering also has built-in clamps for a better experience. The clamps are not long enough to use for all tables. I could not clamp the steering wheel on my desk. I had to use a school textbook to stabilized the steering wheel.
I highly recommend looking into a racing set up if you plan to use this product to get the full experience of the setup. I found it hard to use it without clamping on to something.
Another thing I notice is the little racing games its compatible. I was lucky enough that I got a compatible game so I can enjoy the racing set up. I recommend researching what matches are compatible.
I am planning to purchase a racing chair now. I understand the price might be a significant factor since it requires additional parts to get the full experience. I am new to racing gaming, but I am enjoying a lot. I recommend.

Great TV but 60 Mhz? Really?
By Mark
I originally bought an M-Series 55 Inch 4K Vizio TV. I had to return it because of the obvious lag when i play my Xbox and the lack of smart apps. I read the reviews on this TV and i thought i would go with a known brand like Samsung. My previous TV was a Samsung 50 Inch Projection TV and i had it for like 7+ years and it still looked great. I wanted to upgrade.
My first impression was the nice picture, very solid colors and sharpness. I like the smart TV Apps and web browsing capabilities when i play my Xbox one it looks great! no lag and colors are nice. I haven't seen 4K content on it so i can't offer an opinion on 4k stuff.
Now to the bad stuff. There is backlighting on the lower right, top left, and middle left of the screen. You can't notice right away until you start watching movies in a dark room. You can't tell if its in full screen, the back lighting does get annoying from time to time.
I think one of the major drawbacks of this TV would be the 60mhz, it's say trumotion 120 but that is just mumbo jumbo for 60mhz you'll think with SUHD you'll have a 120 mhz but nope that's one of the major things i could say bad about this TV. My 15 days were up so i could not return this TV, if i could i think i would of spend +$150 for a Sony, but overall it's a nice tv.
I notice a lot of TV's within the dollar range have some kind of an issue with back lighting.

Returning TV
December 14, 2015
Thank you for your reply about the 15 day return policy. I ph'd Best Buy and they confirmed that any purchases made between late Nov and Dec are eligible for returns all the way to Jan 15, so as a result i will be returning this TV because of the Refresh rate (currently 60mhz/ Trumotion is not 120) and backlighting light bleed) and paying a +$100 more for a Sony XBR55X810C 55-Inch 4K Ultra HD Smart LED TV (2015 Model) which has a 120 Mhz and has slightly better ratings.

Great for the Active Person on the Go
By Mark from LA
These headphones are very comfortable, i used them for a 4 mile jog on my treadmill and a 4 mile jog at my local park. They didn't come off or felt uncomfortable during my workouts.
The cables are thin, and the mic doesn't take up too much space either. These headphones look really discreet, especially with the black color which i like, it looks like i don't have headphones at all.
The wireless feature is nice too. I hate cords. I had to buy an arm sleeve due to headphone cords to have easier access to my ipod, but w/ these i don't need one, i just keep my cell in my pocked and jog, it doesn't eve effect the sound quality either!
I sweat a lot, some people say more then the average person. I also like to stay active by working out 5 days a week. These headphone have been great for my daily jogs. They are "splash resistant" too. You can tell by how the mic is covered and the earbuds which is another plus.
The only thing i would knock off these headphones is the sound quality. These headphones can get very loud, when it's loud the highs and lows don't sound too well that's why i am taking off 1 star.
These headphones are just loud which is fine because when you are working out you don't pay attention to the highs and lows, you just want good loud music coming out of your headphones which these headphones do.
So far, i like this product. They do what they suppose to do, and they are loud. They also look durable. I would recommend these headphones to anyone who likes to workout. I have a feeling these headphones will be my go to gear for workouts. I hope they last a couple of years with me.

These headphones are no good
July 7, 2017
This is a follow up on my previous review. I finally tried them while jogging. I was only 1 block into my jogging and they stopped working. It kept syncing out. The headphones said ," i was out of range" which i wasn't. I had an arm band and the headphones were on my head! I couldn't get them to work after that. I tried turning them off and on, then later syncing up, but it still did not work. What a waste. These headphones were a good idea but i can't even use for a regular jog. 1 star for that.

Basic Sound and Annoying LED light
By Mark from Los Angeles
I wanted to like this sound bar, based on looks, the reviews it had, and of course the LG brand which is known for having good products. I would think with the 300 Watts capability it would be louder, but it isn't. You really have to mess with the bass (and the sub woofer bass) to get some decent bass for music and cinema.
I have a Sony 4k 55' inch TV (2015 Model). I didn't use the HDMI option to connect, i used the optical cable. I later change the settings on my TV to "sound system" - My TV controller controls the volume on the sound bar, but it says on my tv, "volume is fixed" every time i increase volume, so if i go from 10 at volume to 30, the volume is fixed" sign will show up 20x. So i'll have to use the sound bar controller for volume now.
This sound bar can be used for Bluetooth streaming as well. I sync up my cellphone (galaxy s7), it worked well for a couple of songs then it would kick me out. It would do this very often. I later downloaded the "music flow" app from LG (LG manual states it works well with app) thinking it would be the better option for streaming music from my phone to the sound bar and guess what? It did the same thing. Kicked me out after a couple of songs, it was really annoying. I couldn't listen to my playlist without reconnecting every 10 mins. After, it kicks me out it would go back to "optical" mode on the sound bar.
Even after i turn off the sound bar, i would wake up to the "optical" mode still on.
As others reviewers of this product, i would say that the LED light is really annoying. It's always on. I tried to remove it with the "music flow" app under settings but it didn't work.
The sound bar itself is very light, doesn't weight much at all. The sub woofer itself its medium sized, like the size of a shoes box I didn't feel a lot of bass coming from the sub woofer.
It's disappointing that this sound bar sounds so basic but looks very stylish and modern. I just can't get around the Bluetooth disconnecting and the basic sound.
The nice thing is that it came with a sound bar wall mount (i bought one from amazon thinking i would need it).

I got an HDMI cable, connected it to the HDMI out behind the Sound Bar, I later connected the HDMI cable to the ARC HDMI option and my TV automatically sync up to the sound bar and sub woofer. I now can control the volume with my TV controller, and the sound bar turns off automatically when i turn off my TV. I disconnected the Optical cable option completely as a result i don't get kicked out when streaming music via bluetooth option, which is great because it was really annoying before. NOT all tv's support HDMI ARC option, luckly my TV is not that old (Sony 4k Bravia 2015 Model) now the sound bar works exactly how its suppose to, although i'm still not happy with the sound quality. I feel with the sub woofer and 300 watts option it should be a lot better, but then again now that i got it to work well i give it 4 stars! I wouldn't use the optical input option as it made it more difficult to sync everything. I just wanted to do a follow up.

How do you have to recharge the R7070? Does it need a special electric outlet? How high can the outlet be. Can you program this without a smart phone?

Hello Marty!

You do not need anything out of the ordinary, just space to put your charging station. In the set up, there is the adapter cable and a charging station included w/ the set up. You just connect the charging cable to the outlet, hook up the charging cable to the charging station, once you do that, you press the red switch at the bottom of the vacuum. Pick up the vacuum, and place it right in front of the charging station until the lights on the vacuum show charging.

In regards to the programming to charge, the vacuum has it automatically included, once the vacuum detects its low on battery, it will automatically go back to its charging station. Once it's charge it will continue vacuuming where it left off. I hope this helps!

For this item, is there any colleage student discount?

there really isn't a discount for this computer, but right now is -$100 off if that helps. You can also get the lower ram option if you don't want to pay the $1,399 price tag.

Does it have a clock?

if you mean does it tell you the time? Then yes it tells the time while on sleep or while using it. I haven't figured out how to change the time from military to regular time.

I purchased Samsung LED 2160p Smart 4K Ultra HD TV, Model: UN55JS7000FXZA
Which HDMI cable provides the best results for this kind of tv?
Thanks a lot in advance.
I think the Fishnet cables looked great with this TV. The are expensive though, i read the longer the hdmi cable the more lag it may have this hasn't been confirmed. Good Luck!
