Pleasantly surprised better sound than expected!

Posted by: wase4711
from phoenix az
Listening to music through my sunglasses seemed very weird to me; how could you get any sort of decent sound without a speaker in your ear or on your ear?
After bringing these glasses home, I was happy to see they charge with usb C, and the charging cycle was pretty fast; downloading the app, and pairing them to my iphone 11 pro was a breeze, and within minutes, I was listening to music on them; you get a few initial choices of music services to pair them to, but, they actually work perfectly with any music source you have on your phone.
The process of walking around, listening to nice sound, making phone calls, all while wearing very stylish and nice fitting glasses, was a real treat!
I think they are polarized, but its hard to tell, and, you get a couple different nose pads to help with the fit, if needed.
I must say, I was very impressed with the fit, the sound, the ease of use, and I would definitely recommend them to you if you are looking for a nice pair of sunglasses that allows you to use your phone just like they were ear buds,.. you wont be sorry!

decent case, not really protective
on July 22, 2020
Posted by: wase4711
from phoenix, az
This case is nice looking, and the color was unique, but, it felt very slippery in my hands, and as others have said, I dont think it would be very protective of your iphone if you dropped it on a hard surface.
Kind of expensive for a case that has good looks, but not a lot of protection.

Finally,real Gig Speeds from a USB Network adapter
on July 9, 2020
Posted by: wase4711
from phoenix,az
I've had a few of these types of adapters, but none of them had faster than 10/100 throughput. This is the first one that I have used that gives you actual gig network speeds!
Just another good Belkin product, if you need one of these, and you have a gigabyte connection, this is exactly what you are looking for..

Best sound bar with Dolby Atmos
on June 19, 2020
Posted by: wase4711
from phoenix,AZ
So, I was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to set this system up; although the box/package is massive, it was well protected, and easy to put together.
The detachable rear speakers work really well, you can charge them separately or attach them to the bar to charge, and, the sub puts out a TON of Bass, and I had to turn that down!
The main disappointment for me, was the lack of any equalizer in the software, aside from turning down the bass, but since most people will use this for home theater use, that shouldn't be an issue.
BT connections, wifi/ethernet, Toslink/HDMI, all the connections are there, but the best experience is connecting your system via HDMI.
Its a bit pricey, but you get what you pay for, and, this will make most people really happy with their home theater setup, especially if you were looking for an easy to configure, very good sounding experience.

Logitech once again comes through with a great keyboard/case!
Its a bit heavier than I would normally like, but the keys have a great feel to them, and the nice backlighting is a big plus; and, it has great corner protection in case you drop your iPad on the ground!
If you are looking for a lightweight, slim keyboard/cover, this isnt for you, but, if you want protection and a great keyboard feel and visibility, then you will really like this model!

Posted by: wase4711

I have no idea why anyone would buy this thing in 2020; although the build quality is fine, the picture quality is horrible; I've tried flash, no flash, indoors, outdoors, and pictures still look like they were taken in 1970.
Unless you have a nostalgia bug, and like weak, colorless, dark pictures, save your money..there are endless better choices for a similar price if you want REAL pictures..

Works great! trigger needs a lock on position..
on April 3, 2020
Posted by: wase4711
from phoenix, az
I've had other Dyson cordless vacs before, and, like the others this one works very well; very powerful, long battery life, and easy to operate.
two minor gripes though.
- the trigger that turns it on and off is super sensitive, and even the slightest tough on it engages it; plus, you have to hold it in the entire time you are using it, which, can hurt your finger if you have arthritis.
-the mounting bracket on this and on my previous Dyson stick vacuum cause a large hole in the wall, and even the included wall anchor didn't help at all...larger/beefier anchors and screws are needed.
But, the reason you buy a unit like this is for its cleaning power, capacity, and battery life, and on those 3 things, this is a great unit!

Wont Replace your Gas/Electric blower
on December 19, 2019
Posted by: wase4711
from phoenix,az
I was excited about using this blower once it was ordered, and, was nicely surprised at how nice the entire line of cordless products from Hoover are. This blower is small, easy to handle, and works well for small/lightweight items on your driveway/patio/lawn.
But, don't expect this to replace a gas blower, or plug in blower, as this just doesn't have enough power to handle wet/heavy items..
I live in the desert, so grass/leaves/wet items aren't an issue for me, but if you live somewhere where those things are what you want a blower to be able to handle, this is not the item for you; otherwise, its a nice, light duty product that is easy to use, and works well for what it is..

Dont bother with these on IOS
on December 11, 2019
Posted by: wase4711
from Phoenix.AZ
So, after a long wait for these to come in stock, mine showed up today.
I knew it wasn't going to be good, when it took me almost 10 minutes just to get the charging case to open; fortunately, my wife showed me how to open them, by pushing what appeared to be the BT pairing button...Anyways, when I did get the top open, and finally got the buds in and charging, I saw the old style micro usb connector, which is bad enough in late 2019, but its on the bottom of the case, making it even worse to charge.
After getting them to charge up, I then tried to connect them to my brand new iPhone 11 Pro max, after downloading the app as per the instructions. That took several times to get the app to see them, and I was immediately told to download the new firmware; problem is, if you have a new iPhone, running os 13+, the app/firmware won't download and install; after trying it 5 times, I checked other online reviews, and sure enough, the current app will NOT do a firmware update with the newest version of IOS; plantronics is supposedly working on an updated app for iPhone users..
I just paired it manually it to the phone again, after getting unpaired a few times for no apparent reason, and listened to some music..sounded pretty good, so I thought I would make a few phone calls..
Everyone I called complained saying they couldn't hear me clearly, sounded like I was in a tunnel, lots of background noise, even though I was in my house in my office, so that was a major disappointment.
Needless to say, I won't be using these until I am certain I can update the firmware, which, hopefully will fix these basic issues with these buds. I don't have any android devices to try these on, but, if you are on the latest iOS 13.+ I would look elsewhere for a wireless headphone solution, as for now, these do NOT appear to be ready for prime time if you own a newer iPhone
..
BTW, I've owned dozens of BT headsets, both wired and wireless, so this was NOT a "rookie error"

Powerful, almost as good as Vitamix
on November 28, 2019
Posted by: wase4711
from Phoenix az
I read alot of reviews about how powerful this kitchenaid blender is, and had my doubts, but after using it a few times, I must say its a good alternative if you don't want to pay Vitamix prices..I will say, when loading it heavily with frozen fruit and other things to make smoothies, there was a "electrical burit smell" coming from the pitcher, while the machine first struggled to chop up and mix all the stuff that was in the blender, but once it got things mixed up, everything was good.
It would have been nice to include a tamper to push the contents down into the blender, instead of making you buy one for 30 dollars, but I guess not everyone buys these for making smoothies.
Either way, it works well, is priced alot lower than a Vitamix, and its worth checking out to see if it fits your needs!

Expensive and not for the faint of heart
By chuckok from Winchester, VA
Connect the router, and was unable to connect to the Internet. After a few tries, it did connect.
The next day, the connection was down. So, I replaced the router.
The second router would not connect. After substantial trial and error, I finally changed the MTU setting to 1300 from the default 1500. After doing some searching on the Internet, I did find that changing to 1400 would be adequate. The Internet connection is now up and running.
Oddly, the configuration on the "Basic" tab of the of the router's configuration is saying that the Internet is down.
Sheesh ... I hate being a beta tester for a released product!!! Particularly at the price point for this one.
That being said, the router's performance on the wired segment and the wireless segment does seem to be stable and performing as expected; and my expectations are high after doing some substantial research prior to purchasing this router..
Netgear support is abysmal. I attempted to call their support number, and after a number of rings the line went blank with no message #3 attempts#, The chat service took over a half an hour waiting in queue, and when finally supposedly connecting to a representative, the chat was dropped saying that there was no representative available #three attempts#. Opened a case via e-mail support, and received a stupid response with a link to a support web page and related links that I had already researched.
I've decided to keep the router for the time being as the performance, particularly on the wireless segment, it the best I've seen. I'm hoping Negear fixes the bugs in the firmware.
I also suspect, at least for the short term, a lot of users are going to return this product to the point of purchase because they won't be able to connect to the internet. I also suspect that Netgear is going to get a lot of support calls on this one, and people are going to be upset with the poor support received.

annoying setup, but once it works, its really nice
By wase4711 from burr ridge, il
I've set up dozens of new routers in my life, so I thought this system would be a breeze to setup, but it was a long, drawn out process.
It seemed easy enough, using your cell phone, after downloading the linksys app, but, it took me numerous attempts with my Nexus 6 to get the modem and the first unit to sync; eventually, I used my pixel xl phone, and it finally made the connection. Be aware you may have to use the back button on your phone to go backwards in the setup menu, which i had to do to get the initial setup to complete.
After the first unit was setup, it was a breeze to get the other 2 units to connect to the network.
I've tested it running 2- 4kUHD streams and a 1080p movie wirelessly, with out a hitch, and at the same time got top speeds while running speed tests at the same time, so, having enough bandwidth was no issue; I have a total of 15 devices connected to my network, and they all connect as fast as they ever did with my previous top of the line router.
I have the units on 3 different floors in my house, and the speeds are the same on all 3 levels, so this system can easily handle a large house with multi floors.
This will definitely solve any wifi coverage issues you may have had in the past; just make sure you have at least an hour to work on setting up the 3 stations!

edit to my original review
January 17, 2017
So, after dealing with issues with this setup for 7 days now, I must modify my review to say I do NOT recommend this product.
I have gone through 7 days or it working fine, then not working right, then speeds work as they should, then dropping off to almost zero, so there is something not quite right yet with this system.
Linksys support has been great, helping me with phone calls, emails, and follow up, but I just don't think the firmware for this product is worth of release status at this point.
My netgear A7200 nighthawk router, which is setup on the second floor office in my house, gives me consistent maximum speeds everywhere in my house, all the time, never wavering, but, the linksys velop system did not provide the consistency that the Netgear router gives me. I am on a fast Comcast connection, getting downloads of 180 megs and uploads of 25 megs everywhere in my house with the Netgear router, yet, the linksys velop would vary anywhere from 180 megs down, to 20 megs down, and, it didn't matter what time of day, or how many devices I had connected at the same time.
I really wanted to like the Linksys Velop, and, I assume, in the future, these issues will get ironed out. But, at this time, the lack of consistent, high speed download speed was not what I want/need in my home network routing setup.
