High End Earbud Sound In Mid Priced Earbuds
on May 18, 2022
Posted by: PapawJeff
Earbuds are my thing.
I have a dude them all from the $29 dollar pair I have up to the $400 dollar pair I have.
Each air has a usual use for me depending on the where and how I am using them.
These from Adidas/Zound Zound , a Swedish company that makes high end audio headphones, Marshall , will be my go to pair when I need to block outside noises and to stay in place and not be damaged by my sweat.
They are listed as waterproof and the wings that are a selection included in the box really keep them in place when I am active and sweaty.
They are a mid priced product with top end sound.
The app has an equalizer to customize the sound and noise control to suit you.
Tap functions of the earbuds are fully customizable left and right for your own personal preferences as well.
They paired with my iPhone really easy and they auto select as the output source when paired and connected.
The case was a little strange to me but the lid is a vented type material like cloth to allow them to dry out when damp from sweat or a splash of water by the pool.
The hinged case lid is attached to the case magnetically which I still dont see why.
My one and only feature I wish was on these is wireless charging.

My First Jabra Earbuds. Sound and Look Great!
on January 28, 2022
Posted by: PapawJeff
from Saint Albans WV
How Often Used:3-5 times a week
These Jabra - Elite 4 Active True Wireless Noise Cancelling earbuds really sound great and the noise cancelling feature controls are fantastic. Cut out as much or as little noise you need or desire to.
They stay in my ears very well and are very comfortable and stand up to the moisture from sweat very easily. Just pop em back in the case to charge them after you have charged the case.
Charging the earbuds is also done in the case when you hook up the case to charge it.
The only dislike I have is that to charge the case, its a wired only connection and you cannot charge them on a wireless charging pad, but I will get use to doing that.

Nice TENS Unit
on November 2, 2021
Posted by: PapawJeff
from Saint Albans WV
I have had another unit of another brand for a few years. It helps me with my aches and pains in my shoulders and legs.
But it only has like three programs and 4 intensities.
But this Unit from Beurer is much more versatile.
100 program options 6 of which are freely programmable by the user.
And its not just a TENS unit it also is a Electrical Muscle Stimulator for muscle training and rebuilding.
And it has a heat function I find particularly helpful.
Two sets of electrodes each of which can be set independently.
This is going to be a great tool to have around when pain get in my way and will let me get back on track sooner.
The adhesive gel stickers are fragile but replaceable, washable and extremely adhesive.

Works Wonders For My Eczema
on October 7, 2021
Posted by: PapawJeff
from Saint Albans WV
I had doubts about this as I really did not see how it could make a difference over my manual brush I used on my face but I was very wrong.
The skin on my face has never looked or felt better in a year or so.
I have been using it for just under a week and the difference is really noticeable.
The large body brush attachment also is wonderful and gets a bunch of mileage out of a liquid body wash.
The small pumice stone worked well on calloused areas of my feet, and its shower safe (do not submerge ) so there is no dead skin mess on the floor. After you soften the area in the shower, the skin just washes down the drain as the stone abrades it off.
4 AA batteries, not included are needed for this device.

Nice Fit and Great Sound
on October 7, 2021
Posted by: PapawJeff
from Saint Albans WV
For every day use when you don't need noise cancellation these are very good sounding earbuds.
I really like the little ear fins that you can put on for a more secure fit, so even without an over the ear piece these have stayed in my ears very well when hot and sweaty working out in the yard.
The recharge case is compact and has a built in charging cable and optionally can be charged wirelessly on a charge pad.
They pair very easily with my iPhone and the IPX5 Protection makes the earbuds water-resistant so you can keep on listening in the rain if ya want to, so sweat is no problem but I wouldn't shower or even think of swimming with them.

Very comfortable sheets
on October 7, 2021
Posted by: PapawJeff
from Saint Albans WV
Cant really say about them letting you sleep cooler as we sleep with the AC on and its very comfortable in the house to begin with.
But the silky feel of these sheets is wonderful and they fit our 13 inch thick queen sized mattress perfectly.
Even the pillow cases have retention straps to help keep them in place on the pillows.
We have a cat that likes to sleep with us and I was concerned about snags from his nails but that so far does not seem to be an issue at all.
These are a bit pricier than sheets we usually buy but they are so very nice.

Very Nice Sound At A Budget Minded Price
on September 25, 2021
Posted by: PapawJeff
from Saint Albans WV
Ok, they don't have the super sharp sound of a $300 dollar pair of earbuds and they do not charge by laying the case on a wireless charging pad.
But I was very glad to see Jlabs enter the lower price market with a quality headphone.
The earbud is compact and comfortable as well as being water resistant.
The charging case is compact and has a built in charging flat cable that tucks back into the bottom of the case when not in use and can charge the buds and keep you powered and listening for 32 hours before needing to recharge,
There is no control of these from an app but I find the tap features to be easy to understand and use for the adjustments and feature use.
Three equalizer settings are also included in the tap features.
They work great when taking a call and are IPX4 SWEAT & WATER RESISTANT.
You can use only one earbud if desired.
They can connect automatically and do so initially and subsequently with ease.
These would be a great first earbud for the kids to see how well they take care of them before investing in higher priced models
For casual use and listening at a very economical price they are really hard to beat for anyone.

As Good As Most Wrist BP Machines
on September 15, 2021
Posted by: PapawJeff
from Saint Albans WV
This wrist BP machine is fairly typical of the wrist type of devices.
They are not perfect for everyone as they are very sensitive to body position, much more so than an upper are cuff.
So it's very easy to get inaccurate readings. The cuff must be even with your heart.
I find its readings to be consistently higher than those of my arm cuff which agrees very closely with the pump up cuff and stethoscope that my doctor uses.
The time on the machine is not set when it links to your phone via Bluetooth and you have to read the procedure in the book to accomplish that function.
But the Bluetooth transfer of data to the Health Coach App is very smooth and quick.
And you can keep a record of home readings for your own reference or to share with your doctor or care giver.
I also find the measurement time of this machine to be very quick.
The display screen is clear with large easy to read numbers.
Keeping in mind the characteristics of a wrist BP monitor and how to properly use it, this could be great if you have trouble using an arm machine for one reason or another

Some of the best earbuds we ever have had
on September 7, 2021
Posted by: PapawJeff
from Saint Albans WV
We both love music. We listen just relaxing and chilling and whenever outdoor activities safely allow us to do so as well.
These have the ability to let you decide how much noise cancellation you want or is safe for your current situation.
I seldom block out everything with them as I prefer to stay aware of my surroundings on the street, in the woods or wherever.
The sound is rich and clear for my ears( with a little adjusting of my equalizer I can produce a concert that only I can hear while my wife listens to the music she prefers.
She has a set of the near same model from Bose and has threatened to take these away from me as she thinks they really sound that good.
We were able to get a perfect fit as we have used this type of earbud for years and finding the prefect one of the very comfortable ear tip options was very easy for us both, actually on the first try.
The controls are easy to get accustomed to.
And taking a call while using these is a breeze with the noise cancellation adjusting to give the surrounding noises the cold shoulder while on your call.
IPX4 rating guarantees resistance to dust and water splashes giving you a piece of mind that its OK to workout or do yardwork while wearing these.
The 24 hour time is based on the charge in the case and the cases ability to recharge the earbuds a couple of times before it needs recharged.
I get 6-8 hours of listening before they need to go back in the case to recharge.
Charging can be done with the charging cable built into the case that folds up into the case bottom or simply placing the case with the earbuds in it on a wireless charging pad.
Download the app to get full functionality and pleasure from these earbuds.
Yes these are on the pricy side but if you have the bucks to spare I highly recommend checking them out for yourself because after all for you the only opinion that really matters is your own.

Rings My 50's Mechanical Doorbells Just Fine Too!
on August 27, 2021
Posted by: PapawJeff
from Saint Albans WV
I already had another premium brand smart doorbell (R**G) and I replaced it with this Google Nest Doorbell Battery model as the old one had seen better days and had quit ringing the old inside doorbells.
They call this the battery model however you can direct wire it to an existing electric transformer doorbell chime for power as well so you don't need to remove and charge the doorbell as it needs it. The initial charge needs to be done with the included USB C cord and any standard USB power supply plug that you provide, not included.
This doorbell rings the old chimes just fine without the additional transformer that is required that you purchase to use this with an electronic chime.
Installation is simple and I had no problems adding it to my dual band (2.5ghz and 5ghz) mesh router.
The Google Home App is what you use to view the camera in the doorbell, get your notifications you select in the settings and use the doorbell as an intercom while viewing the camera feed or when someone rings the doorbell. You can also set it to detect motion if desired, but I have another security camera on the porch I use for that function.
We have a rather active street that I don't care to have trigger my doorbells camera in any way so in the settings I set the active zone to my front porch only but it can cover a much larger area if that is what works for you.
Be sure and go through the settings of the camera in the Google Home App so you get the notifications for the features you desire as well as flipping on the ring doorbell feature if you want that to happen in addition to the phone notification, otherwise its just going to notify you on your smartphone and that's it, but that may be enough for some folks. But I wanted my old mechanical chimes to notify us as well.
The camera itself has good resolution and the speaker for two way communication or using one of their preset responses is more than adequate and its volume can be adjusted.
I will continue to play with it and learn more about it but initially we are well pleased with its look, features and function.

We love our big screen HD Smart TV mounted on the wall but have never been happy with all the sound blasting out of the back of the TV.
It would bounce off the wall and deafen anyone in the kitchen, but where my wife would sit in the living room she couldn't hear the voices unless it was sky high, and it would blast me out of the room.
If your looking for a theater surround sound, look further.
But if your looking for a very high quality compact soundbar with excellent sound at a very reasonable price I highly recommend the Bose Solo 5.

Sound was cutting out, but found the problem
November 6, 2016
Sound would frequently cut out completely for a second or two. I mean 20 time or so in a one hour show.
The issue was an audio output setting on my Vizio TV.
It had been set to bitstream.
I did a little online research and switched that output to PCM and the issue is history.
No more cutting out.

Add stability to your home network with the Amped Wireless HELIOS-EX Wi-Fi Extender. With DirectLink technology, it avoids signal loss by adding another 5GHz Wi-Fi channel to the standard setup, which it then uses strictly for receiving signal from the source. This Amped Wireless HELIOS-EX Wi-Fi Extender covers an area of up to 12,000 sq. ft. and includes four Gigabit network ports.

I have never had a repeater/expander work as well as this one.
It sets up a 5ghz band dedicated to communication with your current router and then sends out its own 5ghz and a 2.4 ghz band of its own.
Its three antennas and 12 repeaters ensure its putting out an equally as good signal as the router is. It looks like an antenna router itself and expands the coverage of your wifi to a potential 12,000 foot area that for most will include at least the immediate area outside. (Yard, porches and driveway).
Of course exact coverage limits will be more restricted by obstructions than this repeater or your router.

From the time I went to the link in the instructions with my iphone until I had the repeater online and broadcasting was only 5 minutes or so.
Never have I been able to put anything on a wifi network and have it up and running so quickly and easily.

Everything about these screams quality and perfection.
From the quality machined metal parts to the premium cowhide headband and lambskin ear pieces to the cloth covered cords and canvas cases, the look and feel of quality is in every component.
There is also a round leather covered box to keep the cables in if you desire.
Even the box they come in is classy and very durable.
As for the sound, Everything from Classical Symphony to AC/DC with a stop in the country genre is what I used to put these thru the paces and they didn't fail me anywhere.
Every note in every range of all the music was crisp and clear as well as excellent quality on all vocalization.
No disruption or breakup of the bluetooth signal even when I walked into two adjacent rooms and the signal had to go through two walls, the sounds remained impeckable.
I have claimed these at my house for me at our house and I'll be very selective of letting anyone who is not old enough to appreciate such a fine article near them.
We also have a pair of Bose Noise Canceling Headphones and in the respect of noise cancellation, the Master and Dynamic set equal or exceed the Bose.
These are a pricy selection, but it will be money well spent if you appreciate music and want to own a set of headphones you will be proud to own and show off.

My Error, These Are Not Noise Cancelling
May 22, 2017
I should have said "While these are not noise cancelling, they are equal to my Bose Noise Cancelling headphones in sound isolation."
Please pardon the error in my review. ;)

It had me at Pulled Pork :)
I did a 2.5 pound pork roast and followed the recipe for root beer pulled pork for an electric pressure/multi cooker and it turned out great, and was ready to eat in 45 minutes.
We did add a little bottled BBQ sauce to the sandwiches as we made them to get them to that just the way we like em point ;)
The meat was fully cooked, tender and separated easily with two dinner forks.
Clean up was super easy as it was all done in the stainless steel inner pot.
We bought the Instant Pot IP-DUO60 which is a 7-in-1 programmable cooker that is supposed to speed up cooking by 2~6 times and use up to 70% less energy. The inner stainless steel cooking pot is made very well with a super heavy duty metal. The entire unit feels like its components are equally well made.
It's really easy to use and has 10 safety features making it less frightening to the beginner using a pressure cooker.
Since it is also a steamer,canner, you can saute in it, a yogurt maker, rice cooker and warmer, I wouldn't say I will use it every evening but I can see me using it a lot.
I was hesitant to buy one, seeing it as another kitchen appliance gadget that I would end up sitting on a shelf in the basement, but after just using it once I can pretty much say that is not likely to happen :)

The Nest Doorbell is the battery-powered video doorbell that works with any home. See what’s happening at your door from anywhere and get intelligent alerts about important activity, like when there’s a person, package, animal, or vehicle.* And because there are no wires, you can install it yourself. Nest Doorbell requires the Google Home app and a Google Account – it’s not compatible with the Nest app or the home.nest.com site.
How long will it last on battery power alone?
Like any battery device that depends on its frequency of use as well as temperature. Batteries tend to not last as long when its very cold outside.
Typically around a month for average use is a statement in the literature however it says you may see a longer or shorter time between charges based on you use.
We wired this one to an old transformer powered mechanical doorbell in the house so it has constant power.
But another brand we had that was battery only lasted about 4-5 months between charges due to low use.

Listen to your favorite albums and audiobooks on the go with this Memorex portable CD player. The 40-second anti-skip protection function for CDs ensures smooth, uninterrupted listening, while the dynamic bass boost system delivers rich sound. This Bluetooth Memorex portable CD player features an LCD screen and digital control buttons for conveniently choosing tracks and adjusting volume.
Would this fit in my pocket?
Its about 3/4 "larger in circumference than a CD . So I guess that would depend on the size of your pocket as to will it fit.
However it better be a loose pocket if it does fit as the buttons to control the device are on its top and slide to open on its side

Bluetooth technology seamlessly connects to your smartphone, tablet or PC, letting you stream music or take phone calls with the built-in microphone. These water-resistant Skullcandy Sesh true wireless headphones come with a charging case, providing up to an extra 7 hours of listening time.
Are these comfortable for people that need smaller in ear buds?
I dont have what you would call large ears and I find them very comfortable. Check out a picture of them online while being worn.
They do fill up a large part of the outer ear, but what goes back in the ear canal comes with two sizes of tips and are very soft and comfortable to me.
