Sleek, Discreet, and Great Sound
on February 16, 2018
Posted by: Mark
from Los Angeles, CA, USA
These headphones are very stylish, they have great sound, are discreet, and small. I have gotten a lot of compliments on these, and i especially like the charging case. First, i want say these headphones are very small, like if you are not careful you can easily lose them.
You have to download the app to use these headphones, the app itself has an equalizer option, voice assistant option, phone option, and options. The sound quality when listening to music is great, but i did have problems when making a phone, on the other end they said when speaking to them they heard an echo throughout our conversation.
The cool thing is that jabra offers a 2 year warranty for dust and water resistance, which is good considering that i will be keeping these headphones in my gym bag when i work out.
These headphones have a 15 hr battery life, and also has a voice command option, its compatible with Alexa, Siri, and Goodle Now.
I would say from a engineering standpoint, they could've separated the buttons because they are very close to each other, you can easily press the wrong button this is the reason why i put 4 stars. Overall these are really nice headphones, very stylish, and good sound quality. I would recommend these headphones and the price certainly helps.

Solid laptop - Good Value
on February 6, 2018
Posted by: Mark
from Los Angeles, CA, USA
I've never had a chromebook laptop before, so this was a new experience using google's line of laptops. I was surprised to find out how smooth this laptop functions. It's a lot bigger then i anticipated since a lot of the laptops are coming in smaller sizes, this laptop is 15.6 inches, i normally use 13.3 laptops since they are easier to carry around. The screen is a little washed out, so don't expect the retina displays you normally see on high end macs or windows computers.
The chromebook handles web surfing well, i had no problem having multiple screens open, listening to spotify, and checking my email at the same time. I'm surprise 4 GB of Ram could handle everything with ease, this laptop doesn't have a lot in terms of hard drive memory, its has only 16 GB of eMMC flash memory, so it would be a good idea to keep an USB or external hard drive handy if you are planning to store large files or movies.
I feel this laptop is very simple, for the person who needs to surf the web, check email, and some additional stuff if needed and that doesn't necessarily mean a bad thing, for the price its actually a great buy, not everyone needs an expensive laptop if all they are going to do is use it for internet, email, and music that's why i think this a "bang for your buck" product. My brother has had chromebooks in the past, and he stated, "this is actually a good computer, solid, and does what its suppose to" so if you are looking for something simple that will get the job done without breaking your wallet this is the computer. It has 12 hours of battery life, so it's more then enough for your needs. I will be using this laptop for school, or probably give it to my brother since he likes it so much. For the price you cannot beat it.

Good Headphones for Working Out
on January 17, 2018
Posted by: Mark
from Los Angeles, CA, USA
Recently used these headphones for my workout since its considered a sports wireless headphones. I practice basketball on my own (shooting around) and jumped roped. I did not have any problems with the headphones falling off, I guess because my head shape is a little bigger then average (I use a 7 1/2 in fitted hats) so that wasn't a problem. The sound quality was good, not great but not bad either, not a lot of lows and not a lot of highs, the sound didn't bleed or a lot of tone.
These headphones are very light, almost can't tell I have them own when I was jump roping. The headphones themselves have options on the left side, Bluetooth, volume, skip track and play. I liked the set up because it's very easy to navigate, well especially for me since I like to jog, so I don't want anything too complicated, this is what impressed me the most, they thought about the active person, and kept it simple.
The box comes with a charging cable, a storage pouch, audio cable, and the headphones themselves.

One thing I did not like was the cushion of the headphones, although these are sweat resistant, it did keep some of the moisture after working out and a couple of hours after. The moisture gets caught around the ear and top of the head, so it wouldn't be a good idea to use these headphones for regular use after a workout. Also, these headphones are very comfortable.
Overall I like these headphones because they are easy to use, they are light, sound quality is decent (not bad for 100 dollars), they are wireless, and I don't have to worry about the headphones being damage by sweat. I would recommend these headphones for the person who likes to workout outdoors and wants simple to use headphones. I would buy these again.

Fun Little Picture Printer on the GO
on January 7, 2018
Posted by: Mark
from Los Angeles, CA, USA
Looks like a external hard drive, very simple printer, has only one button which is the power button. You have to download the HP Sprocket Plus App to be able to print the pictures. The printed pictures are small, its 2.3 x 3.4 inches. 10 sheets of "sprocket plus Zink" photo paper, these pictures can be used as stickers, you can peel the back of the picture. If you use up the photo sheets you can purchase more online for $12.99 (20 sheets) its a reasonably price. The color of the pics are a little "cool" colored, they are not too colorful, nothing really stands out in regards to color quality but it still some nice quality. I would recommend adding a vivid filter to enhance the color quality to the printed pictures.
The sprocket has an internal battery that needs charging from time to time, varies depending on use, with charging cable included. I like this picture printer because its simple, easy to use, and prints pictures pretty quickly at anytime. The price for additional photo sheets is reasonable as well. I don't like the size of the photo sheets personally, i would get bigger photo sheets so i can use the pictures for wall frames, but it doesn't take away from the picture quality. This is a pretty good printer. The editing software leaves more to be desired. It's hard to adjust the photo ratio or rotate the picture to fit for example landscape or portrait and for that i will remove 1 star, other than that this is a pretty good photo printer. I would purchase a bigger option of this sprocket printer plus.

Very Nice Laptop, Affordable, its a great steal!
on December 12, 2017
Posted by: Mark
from Los Angeles, CA, USA
The laptop is bigger than i thought, not that's a bad thing but considering I'm a student its pretty heavy to carry around. The screen is 15.6 inches and weights about 5 pounds. It's a nice basic touch screen lap top. The initial start up was very simple, the voice activated feature was a nice touch. I like that it came with 2 USB 3.1 port which i like better then the Type-C usb. It also has a headphone jack and HDMI input. The built in speakers were pretty nice. The built in fan was pretty loud, i immediately noticed it within an Hour.
The keys on the keyboard light up, and it comes with a 10 Num Pad on the right side. I feel like this laptop is good for limited use outside of the house due to size and weight.
It's a 2GHz processor and up to a Ryzen cpu boosts at 3.6ghz. The 8 GB of ram is pretty good, it worked great while multitasking, i was web surfing, listening to spotify, using the split screen HDMI option and didn't notice a lag. It has 1 TB of storage which is a good amount to start, its a SATA hard drive not an SSD which is a shame, if it hard an SSD drive i would give it five stars. The touch screen is very responsive and the graphics where nice and clear, and most importantly its AMD, i actually like this laptop, it's very simple yet very nice. It's a little bigger then my usual 13.1 inch laptops. I can see myself using this laptop around the house (only), for the price this is a great laptop, it's actually a steal for someone who prefers a touch screen laptop. I would recommend this lap top to anyone! It's a great buy!

Basic Heart Rate - Workout Watch
on December 12, 2017
Posted by: Mark
from Los Angeles, CA, USA
This watch is very simple, the displays are either black with white numbers/letters or white with black numbers/letters. The best way to use the watch would be to download the epson app and set up an account. I was able to sync the watch to the app, i was able to access my music and skips song. I haven't used the water feature so i can't see much about it. I used this watch for jogging and cycling.
The GPS worked good, but the heart beat monitor wasn't working, for some reason, i couldn't use this option with my workout mode of choice. It wasn't good. I had to exit my workout mode, and check it manually. I did not like that.

The watch is bulky, and plain looking compare to what kind of watches are out there. Very functional watch, not a looker, and kind of bulky. I wouldn't recommended it, may be if it was cheaper i would consider it because of all this i will give it 3 stars.

Simple, Functional, and Straight to the Point
on November 25, 2017
Posted by: Mark
from Los Angeles, CA, USA
This blender is simple and functional, it includes (in box) a owners manual with recipes, four side jar, and the actual blender. The blender doesn't catch your eye like other blenders do, but it does a really really good job. It comes in 5 speeds, it has preset options for smoothies, pulse, 60 sec or 90 sec, and a clean option. You can also change the speeds from low to high, and of course a stop button if you would like to stop half way through the default setting speeds. I used this blender to crush ice and a smoothie as well. I was surprised how well, fast, easy this blender took care of the job, by the time i pressed the stop button the jar was filled with ice, i couldn't see how much was crushed since it was spinning so fast. The blender itself looks well built, looks sturdy as well, industrial like. It's not a light blender, it weights almost 10 pounds.
I don't like that the stop does not come with a lock options, its more like a plastic rubber like cover that can easily be removed without force, it kind of locks but it's not child proof, although i don't have kids of my own i can see how this would be a problem. I also don't like that the jar can easily be removed, it doesn't lock like other blender, you can literally just remove it from the base, which kind of surprised me, but once again i am not planning on doing this any way but just thought i bring it up for this review.
I feel like that will be a great addition to any kitchen but since it's sturdy i can see this being in a small business kitchen. For example my mom owns a soft serve ice cream parlor, and she constantly make smoothies, and yogurts for her business, she was really impressed with this blended and how fast it did some smoothies, she also liked how simple it was to use, additionally she liked the jar can easily be removed (fast paced environment). I ended up giving her the blender for her business, but i will be buying another one for me as well.
Don't let the price scare you away, this is actually a really good blender that won't disappoint, its functional, easy to use, and straight to the point. It doesn't have a lot of accessories like other options but it definitely feels reliable, and it would last me a long time, so that's why i gave it 5 stars. I would recommend for anyone!

One of the Best Bluetooth Speakers I've Tried
on November 16, 2017
Posted by: Mark
from Los Angeles, CA, USA
Sporty, Loud, waterproof, and most importantly it has Amazon Alexa. This Bluetooth speaker has far been my favorite on the go speaker, I've owned several Bluetooth speakers, and this has far been my favorite sound wise and looks wise. I got the black option. It's discreet and simple just like a speaker should be. It's larger than your average Bluetooth speakers (Height: 9.3 inches, Width: 3.5, and Weights about 3 pounds).
To use Amazon's Alexa, you will need to download the “Ultimate Ears” app and sign on with your amazon prime account (if applicable), you will also connect to your WIFI with this app other than that it’s a basic app with minimal features. Nothing stands out in this app. To really customize your Alexa experience, you will also need to download the Amazon Alexa app once again log in with your amazon prime account, you can enroll to other music services (Spotify – Must have Premium, Pandora – Basic Account okay, Tune In – No acct needed, and Iheartradio) so you can command Alexa to play these music apps by voice command.
The sound coming out of this Bluetooth speaker is great! It’s loud, loud enough for my 1-bedroom apartment. The highs are nice, but when playing it loud the lows drown out a little bit, it’s not really on the bass heavy side but that doesn’t take away from the clear sound this speaker has. It didn’t bother me at all. It really sounds great!
I also recommend that you also include the Charging Dock with the speaker, it’s roughly 40 dollars and it’s well worth it! It’s make the charging effortless, you just place the speaker on top of the dock and automatically starts charging. I placed the charging dock next to my bed so when I wake up I just turn it on, command Alexa to play my favorite music apps or tune in (talk shows), ask what’s the traffic time to work is, and turn it off when I leave to work.
I like that the company includes a 2-year warranty, better than the average 1-year warranty. The battery life is 16 hours which is more than enough for your music needs. I haven’t tried the water-resistant feature, but it states it can be immersed in “liquid” up to 1 meter for up to 30 minutes. Overall, I really like this speaker, and all speakers should be like this product moving forward. It’s really a great Bluetooth speaker and I normally don’t like paying North of 200 dollars for a speaker, but this speaker is worth it and recommend to anyone!!

Nice Compact Cordless Vacuum Cleaner
on November 10, 2017
Posted by: Mark
from Los Angeles, CA, USA
This is exactly what i needed for my small apartment, its compact, has a lot of accessories, light weight, and can be mounted on the wall. The accessories that come with this cordless vacuum is: Dusting Brush, Pivoting Extension, Deluxe Crevice tool, Pet Upholstery Tool, Powered stair tool, reach wand tool, and storage clip. The vacuum brush rolls also includes LED headlights (outside) if you vacuum in dark places, its a nice feature to have in a portable vacuum. It takes up to 3 hours to fully charge the vacuum and it only has up to 30 mins to 1 hour of usage, not good. I do like that it comes with a 3 year warranty from the manufacture which is a lot compared to the standard 1 year warranty.
I used the dusting brush, but felt that the suction wasn't strong enough (my personal opinion). I vacuumed a couple of carpets as i have a mixture of vinyl floor and carpets and its true, this vacuum does "react" to the differences.The vacuum actually illuminates "floor sense" on the dashboard to automatically adjusts to the floor type. If i am vacuuming my carpet (which isn't thin it's kind of a thick carpeting) it gives an extra boost to the roll for better suction. I did a great job on the cleaning, i was surprised it was able to clean my thickest of carpets. When i used it on my vinyl it worked great as well, i didn't have to get the broom for those left over dust locations which is great! I did not download the app that you can use with this vacuum because i felt that i didn't need it, but may be i will later.
You turn on this vacuum by either holding the trigger button (you can also turn off the vacuum by releasing the trigger button). You can also double tap the trigger button to have continuous power. I really liked the accessories that come with this vacuum. I will be using this light weight vacuum around my apartment shelves, ceiling, and to even clean up my car! Now i don't have to carry a heavy vacuum or have long extension cables just to use it outside when i'm cleaning my vehicle. The emptying of the dirt cup was so simple, just press the handheld release button and that's it. I don't have indoor pets anymore, so i can't really say on the cleaning of pet hair but the vacuum states its great for pets. This vacuum if very functional and compact enough not to take up a lot of space which is great for my studio apartment or to even carry it in my vehicle trunk.

I love this Security Camera System!
on November 10, 2017
Posted by: Mark
from Los Angeles, CA, USA
This system is by far the easiest installation i have done in a long time. I had this system ready to go in under 10 mins and installed the magnetic wall mounts in 7 minutes. To be honest i didn't even read the instructions i just plugged everything together, installed the batteries to the cameras which came fully charged btw (saved a lot of time), hooked up the base to my mesh linksys router, plugged the adapter and i was done! I did read the book to sync up both cameras to the base which was easy too, just pressed and hold the sync base button for 2 seconds and pressed the sync button on the cameras as well for 2 seconds (one at a time or course) and i was done.
I was really impressed with the Arlo App (i have an iphone), its very easy to use, the dashboard interface is easy to navigate, and the two cameras are on the home screen of the app for easy navigation.
Arlo has 3 service options or "view plans" that you can use with this camera system, the first one is the basic option which is free, provides up to 7 days of recording through Arlos cloud service (up to 1 gb), up to 5 cameras, and support limited to 3 months, the other option is the "premier" includes 30 days of video recording in cloud (up to 10 gb), up to 10 cameras, and unlimited support. The fee is 100/year. Last but not least is the "Elite" option which has up to 60 days of video recordings in cloud(up to 100 gb's), up to 15 cameras, and unlimited support. The fee is 149/year. They also have packages for business, but these options are for home. If you are interested in the difference you can go straight to their web site. I decided on the basic package to try it out first.
I did all my customization through the app, i set up the cameras to automatically recording with motion, there is also an option for audio detection recording (you can also use the cameras speaker to speak), or scheduling recording. I turned off the push notification because i was getting notified as i was walking through the room it was getting kind of annoying, but i can see how this would be a good option if you are out of the household.
The library (recordings bank) is really easy to use and offers a calendar type lay out so you can view your recordings by date. Since i had my recordings to start with motion i only got recordings in 8 sec to 1 min videos lapses which is fine. I ended up installing a camera inside my studio apartment and one outside. I don't recommend to use the screws that came with the wall mount if you are planning to install it outside. I would use a bigger screw for installation just make sure it will fit through the wall bracket in the back of the wall mount.
The picture quality is really great, it's 1080hd so its very clear, the app has options to change the clarity, you can lower it to save battery. I also don't remember reading about how long the batteries last, but i will eventually buy a solar panel for my outdoor camera so i won't have worry about a low battery (it cost roughly $80). The cameras are weather proof, i installed my outdoor camera right under a fascia so it won't be too expose to the elements.
I really like this camera and i would recommend to anyone! My mother loves it too that she is thinking of buying one for her home. Good product.

4 out of 5Great 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.

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.

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 wouldn't recommend.

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!

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.
