Headphones are unique and sound great
on July 19, 2017
Posted by: Bootleg89
from Chicago/NW Suburbs, IL
The first thing you notice about this headset is how big and bulky they are. I am a bigger person so it does not bother me as much. A more petite person may find them bulky. They sit on the back of the neck but tend to slide a little more than I would like. They have never fallen off though,just a minor nuance.
The sound from the earbuds is very good, nothing amazing but better than most. They are about what you would expect from earbuds. They could probably use more lows but that is uncommon with earbuds anyways. The earbud cable is very thin, almost flimsy but everyone I know who has LG Tone headsets say they don't break. Hopefully these are no exception. The retracing mechanism is very smooth and works like a charm.
The speaker feature is what sets these apart. Sound comes from both the top and bottom of the headset and surrounds you with great sound. I played many different types of music just to submerge myself in sound. I even could not help but show these off to anyone who would walk by my desk at work. Most could not believe that such sound was coming from a bluetooth headset.
The buttons are pretty easy to find and can be memorized very easily after 2 uses. They are placed very well on the headset. I like the on/off switch rather than a button you have to hold to turn the unit on or off. You can visually see if it on or not by the switch. No more guessing if the unit is on, off, or dead.
Overall I love this bluetooth headset and I cannot wait for every opportunity to use the speaker feature as I have to make sure I am not disturbing anyone around me. I highly recommend.

Impressive results from this coffee maker
on July 17, 2017
Posted by: Bootleg89
from Chicago/NW Suburbs, IL
My first impression of this coffee maker was how "high tech" it was compared to other coffee makers I've tried. Even compared to a Keurig this seemed to have more features.
I immediately ground one of my favorite whole bean coffees and attempted a full pot. The coffee was a full dark roast and I set the coffee maker to the rich setting which is supposed to make a more robust brew. Wow! I brewed one of the strongest coffees I have ever made. It did exactly what it said it would do for that type of roast.
There is also a mode to brew a single cup and a thermos type container. You add a separate plate for that. This is what makes me think I will be replacing my K-cup brewer. Plus I will save money on having to buy K-cups.
Overall this machine operated very well and the water gets very hot. I really do enjoy using this machine and I look forward to using it on the daily.

Super easy to connect - fast!
on July 5, 2017
Posted by: Bootleg89
from Chicago/NW Suburbs, IL
This router is by far the easiest router I have ever created. You plug it in to your modem or router, open the app, it detects the router, you create your network name and password and that's it. Those are literally the steps to setup the router.
You can also connect devices to the hub such as smart thermostats and smart outlets or lights. You control everything through the Samsung connect app.
I then clocked the internet speed and I was getting 175mbps. I only pay for 140.
I really like this modem hub and I look forward to hooking up more devices to my "smart home".

Mouse of the highest quality
on July 3, 2017
Posted by: Bootleg89
from Chicago/NW Suburbs, IL
This mouse is one of the highest quality mouses I have ever used. For some reason the wheel feels really solid and smooth for a "plain" mouse like this. The buttons all have a very nice snap to them. Plus the mouse works on every surface I could test it on.
I then downloaded the software to program the buttons. This made the mouse experience even better. I programmed all of the buttons to my linking and away I went.
The mouse feels a little small in my hand but for some reason is not an issue at all.
I can also hook up the mouse to 3 different computers but have not had the chance to do so yet. This is a very high quality mouse and my new every day mouse.

Nice idea, but lackluster result
on July 3, 2017
Posted by: Bootleg89
from Chicago/NW Suburbs, IL
As I started to put together these headphones I thought "cool, full sized headphones converted into bluetooth wireless headphones"! This excitement vaporized quickly.
First let me explain the construction of the headphones. You take full sized earbud headphones and plug them into the neckband. Then you wrap the cord around the back of the neck piece leaving the left and right earbuds the appropriate length free to stick into your ears. This leaves the cables very sloppy and does not give the headphones a nice tight feel. There is loose cable all over the place. They include 2 small cable braces to "train" the cable around the neckband but it still does not prevent loose cables all around this entire contraption.
So I came up with a brilliant idea! Use my own headphones that have a nylon covering around the cable. This would allow for an easier managing of the loose cables. Wrong. The headphones sounded terrible and the volume was very low. It seems as if the included headphones are the only ones that will work with it. I could be wrong as I did not test with several of my own headphones but the one set I did failed to work.
The actual earbuds themselves are very nice. They fit perfectly in the ear canal and are actually some of the best fitting earbuds I own. I wish they were built into the neckband and were much cleaner as far as the cables go.
Overall these headphones are nice, and easy to pair. I just hate cable clutter which is why I like wireless headphones to begin with.

Great sound and easy setup
on June 23, 2017
Posted by: Bootleg89
from Chicago/NW Suburbs, IL
The overall look and feel of this soundbar is high quality. The sleek finish is very nice and compliments any home theater setup. I installed using the fiber optic cable straight to the TV. I then changed the TV sound output to "external speaker" and I was ready to rock and roll.
I then tested it out on movies, TV shows and music. I used the different preset EQ settings and they all mostly sounded nice. The "standard" setting was a little underwhelming but the other settings had nice clear highs and some nice lows. I believe the built in subwoofer will really stand out once it has been broken in. That was the case with my last Yamaha soundbar, but right out of the box the Samsung sounded great.
I then downloaded the Samsung Multiroom app and connected via wi-fi. This was a great experience as I did not have to pair it via bluetooth. This means the bluetooth does not have to be on thus draining your battery. The soundbar does have bluetooth as well, but the wi-fi is so much easier once connected.
The soundbar also integrated automatically to my TV remote control so I just hit the power button like normal and use the volume buttons like normal, only it controls the soundbar volume. Very convenient.
Overall I love this soundbar. I have it setup in my basement with my 55" TV and all of my old video game systems and an Amazon Firestick. I am now actually going downstairs more just so that I can experience everything through this soundbar. I love it!

This is more than just a speaker - it's a journey. Starting from the very basic elements of sound and speakers, your children will build a deeper understanding as they move toward assembling their Speaker Cube. At every step, exploration is encouraged and curiosity is rewarded.

Never had anything like it
on June 17, 2017
Posted by: Bootleg89
from Chicago/NW Suburbs, IL
When I first got the speaker I thought it was just a cool speaker that you put together...I was wrong.
The first thing you need to know is that you have to have an Apple device to download the app. This is required to assemble the speaker and do the different activities. The app is a huge deal as it walks you through every single step, well put together. I was very impressed with the interaction between the app (on iPhone) and the speaker.
The first thing you do is perform mini experiments that teach your young one about magnets and frequencies. This is what I was expecting. These activities kept my little one so entertained and even sparked older sister's curiosity as she came over to play and help.
Then you eventually assemble the speaker which is more of a craft assembly activity. My daughter still enjoyed the assembly piece and placing the paper covers on all sides.
The speaker, once assembled is very nice. It is of the highest quality sound and feel. It even has built in lights that change colors and even change effects/patterns. This is a speaker that anyone would be proud to own and display.
Overall this speaker kit definitely deserves 5 stars for it's overall quality and build experience. Your child will love it and your family will enjoy it for years to come.

Durable, Stylish, and SAFE!
on May 26, 2017
Posted by: Bootleg89
from Chicago/NW Suburbs, IL
I absolutely love these headphones for my daughter. On the day we got them she used them for the rest of the day, listening to music and dancing. They stayed in place and never shifted off her head.
They also feel very well built and durable. She loved picking a sticker to place on them.
Now the best part...the volume limiter. I always worry when she uses headphones that she will put the volume too high and damage her eardrums or hearing. These have a built in volume limiter so they never go louder than a certain point. I tried them myself on the loudest volume and although loud, not so loud that I was in pain. Very nice! They also have their own volume control on one of the earpieces which is nice.
Overall I am very pleased with these headphones, I wish I had them when my oldest was a small kid.

Very good router, fast
on May 24, 2017
Posted by: Bootleg89
from Chicago/NW Suburbs, IL
This router is very good overall, but had since issues setting up.
After connecting the router my browser automatically detected the Linksys setup site. My immediate thoughts were "nice, I'm in! " This was not the case. There were several hiccups upon installation and my computer lost connectivity with the router a few times. I even had to reset my network driver once on my laptop.
Once complete I then tried to disable the guest network via the admin site and it lost connectivity again. Finally it was set up and ready to be left alone to test. Setup overall took way longer than I expected.
Once hooked up I logged on and checked the 2.4 ghz speed and was not very impressed. When I checked the 5 ghz speed the results were way better.
The range on the signal is exceptional and goes throughout my entire house.
Overall a very good router, but setup could be a little better.

Replaces Swiffer, not your Mop
on May 8, 2017
Posted by: Bootleg89
from Chicago/NW Suburbs, IL
My first impressions of the spin mop were that it was very durable and very high quality. The regular and scrub pads look like they will last you through several uses and washes.
2 bottles of cleaning solution are included so i poured in the appropriate amount for a smaller surface since i have a small kitchen. The spinning action feels like it is giving the floor a pretty good cleaning and even may pull you in a different direction by force. Just make sure you keep a firm grip on the handle.
The scrubbing pads did a pretty good job although you may have to add some extra pressure to get the tough grit. Overall I was very pleased with the cleaning results.
The only negative thing about this "mop" is the size of the cleaning head in general. It does not get into small places where a traditional mop would get into. It is not good for the bathroom for example. The large spinning heads are good for wide open areas like a kitchen or hallways but will not get into smaller spaces like next to or around the toilette.
Overall this is a very good product and I would recommend it since it does get the floors nice and clean. It reminds me of a professional spinning cleaner you would see in an industrial setting.

Bring the sounds of the movies to your home with these Sony Dolby Atmos-enabled speakers. The compact size fits neatly on top of your existing tower speakers for an easy way to upgrade your sound system. Mica-reinforced cellular cones reduce distortion, while the MDF cabinets absorb vibrations for better playback.

Today was the first day I saw these (Sony - Dolby Atmos Enabled Speakers (Pair) - Black) available at Best Buy (other retailers have had them for about two weeks). It's 10:30am ET and they're sold out. Seriously!? When will they be available? If ever.
They will be available once they are obtained and put back into inventory. Thanks!

Without you knowing it, cybercriminals can infiltrate your Wi-Fi network and steal your identity or invade your privacy by accessing your connected devices. Password protection isn't enough anymore.Engineered with multi-layered security, Norton Core™ intelligently protects your Wi-Fi network and an unlimited number of connected IoT devices such as smart TVs, baby monitors, Wi-Fi thermostats as well as your personal devices like laptops, desktops, smartphones and tablets against malware, spyware, ransomware, viruses and more.
Was just advised by Norton rep (have Nighthawk 1900/r7000 + Ubee Spectrum modem & current Norton Internet Security Premium) that I should "ADD the Core to my Nighthawk for enhanced security". Is this correct? So I'd connect Core to modem AND Nighthawk??
You could run the Core from an open Ethernet port from your Nighthawk, but may want to consider eliminating the Nighthawk and only run the Core since it protects all of your connected devices at the source (router).

Why is the Blue and Orange speaker more expensive (15 dollars!?) than the black one. I just received the orange one and now see the black is 14 dollars less. Why?
The blue and orange dyes are roughly 15 dollars more than the black dye.
