My New Favorite Ear Buds
on September 22, 2020
Posted by: PapawJeff
from Saint Albans WV
Lots of features and superior sound for not a lot of money.
These are my new favorites that I go to nearly every time.
The active noise cancellation is awesome but so is the Be Aware feature that allows you to select the option of letting in surrounding noises to keep you aware of what's going on around you such as car noise while on a walk, etc.
They are very sleek and compact as comfortable as well.
Sound quality is awesome as well as the battery life.
Multiple ear bud tip covers are included so Im sure a comfortable option exists for you,

Awesome Sound and Features
on September 15, 2020
Posted by: PapawJeff
from Saint Albans WV
We have several earbuds, two pair that cost nearly three times what these JLAB Epic Air ANC True Wireless Earbuds cost.
The multiple sets of included ear tips assures you of custom comfortable fit and sound quality.
The ANC has an on, an off and a Be Aware mode that actually allows you to hear your music as well as listen to ambient noises as well or better than not having earbuds in at all.
Hear cars and car horns, dogs other people, etc while out walking or running. Also no need to remove your earbuds when standing in line to order lunch or coffee and still hear the clerk clearly.
They are IP55 water resistant so sweat it up at the gym or while walking with no worries.
The charging case plugs into and standard USB port to recharge.
Its a simple matter of putting the earbuds back in the case when they are need charged and they can charge from the case as long as it is charged, and it has power indicator lights to give you the status of its power level.
Put the app on your phone for full control of the earbuds as well as super easy pairing.
The earbuds will automatically stop your music player when you remove them from your ears and start it again when you return to wearing them, and my be used independently if desired.
Placing and receiving calls also stops the musing for the duration of the call.
You will not be sorry you added these to your personal listening arsenal.

More Options Than Other Models

In a sleek counter saving design Keurig has put out a new brewer with multiple features not previously offered.
It has three temperature settings, three strength settings, a three user memory for the individual usual preferences of each of the three users.
The wide range of cup sizes are 4,6,8,10 and 12 ounces .
But with a K Cup being designed for a 6 oz. serving, the more ounces you use the weaker your coffee will be, but that may be what you want.
And for fans of iced coffee there is a setting for brewing over ice which produces a strong but not hot as normal cup of coffee to use for iced coffee.
Unlike other Keurig's I have had, there does not seem to be a brief warmup session as I have found typical.
There is really not even a reason to hit the power button as simply lifting and lowering the pod lever turns on the machine.
This machine has the new Multi Stream technology where it punctures the top of the K cup in five places on the top to more evenly saturate and extract the coffee from the K Cup.
However that same feature prevents you from using a refillable K cup that you fill with your own coffee, at least until someone starts making one for it or you get crafty and modify one to use with it.
I find my preferred settings to be medium strength and high temperature to make a smooth non bitter cup of coffee.
Its a winner in my book.
Keurig used very high quality materials in this machine.
Fit finish and function all seem to be flawless and the coffee is delicious.

Sleek Small Footprint Dual Charger
on September 4, 2020
Posted by: PapawJeff
from Saint Albans WV
This BOOST CHARGE 10W Qi Certified Wireless Charging Pad for iPhone/Android by Belkin had no problem at all charging two iPhone X phones at the same time.
One was in a hard plastic with a TPU liner and no device to hold onto on its back and the other case was a straight up TPU case with a **p socket base on the back with the socket top removed.
It charged both phones quickly and at about the same rate as they charge independently on their own chargers.
A corded power supply is provided.

Good Sunglasses Good Sound
on September 4, 2020
Posted by: PapawJeff
from Saint Albans WV
Nice wrap around style sunglasses with mirrored polarized (but changeable) lenses that are dark enough to keep your eyes more comfortable in bright sun but not so dark that some evening use is out of the question.
And the sound is fantastic. Of course these are not noise blocking but in an average environment with normal background noises you can turn them up far enough to all but eliminate the noises to enjoy your music or turn them down to participate in a conversation without stopping the music or taking out one or both earbuds when you were using those.
You can also take and place calls from your glasses of course when connected to your phone through Bluetooth.
Music can be paused, tracks can be skipped from the multifunction button on the right temple. Also on the right temple, you just slice your finger forward on the temple to increase volume and slide your finger towards the rear of the glasses to decrease volume, no switch just slide along the temple.
I found the slide action to be a bit temperamental but over all like the feature.
Phone calls were very clear on both ends of the conversation.
The quality of the sound rivals that of many top end ear buds I have and do own and without the hassle of having something sitting in your ears sometimes painfully after several hours of use.
Until I got use to the placement of the multifunction button I found it very easy to accidentally push but found the key to that is stay away from the right temple unless you are looking for the button of wanting to slide your finger for volume control.
All control can also be accomplished from your phone as well.
Setup is three quick steps outlined on the card wrapping the box and full instructions can be found in the app once it is downloaded and the glasses are paired with the app.
The Glasses, a nice carrying case, charging cord and microfiber cleaning cloth are included.

Great Compact Device
on July 8, 2020
Posted by: PapawJeff
from Saint Albans WV
This Surface Go 2 by Microsoft is really a great compact device delivering features, function, speed and clarity of the screen that you might only expect in a much larger device.
It's setup was easy and Cortana will talk you through it, or turn her off if you would rather just read the screens.
The 10.5" touchscreen display with 220 ppi resolution provides an unbelievably beautiful clear display no matter what your doing.
Movies and photos are always crisp bright and clear.
I have used several streaming apps to watch Live TV and movies and this device did not disappoint. Of course you are watching it at a much shorter distance than you would a larger device, which actually works in your favor as it does not seem that small when watching.
Its processor is powerful and impressive and no jitter or drag was ever detected when watching anything I was streaming.
Photos are equally impressive.
The sounds are really great especially considering the speakers are so very small.
Everything was crisp and clear while streaming music as well.
A 3.5 headphone jack is there if you want to use a wired set of earbuds, and of course it has Bluetooth functionality as well
Various social medias and email all function great.
Anyway you play The Surface Go is ready and able.
But its also very handy to take along to class or that meeting at work and comes with a full 30 day trial of Microsoft Office Products to help you when using the device on the production end of things.
Hidden under the kickstand is a Micro SDXC card reader for data transfers and uploads and downloads.
That can also be accomplished with the USB C port.
It has given me an 8-10 hour battery life before needing recharged with its proprietary magnetic power supply and cord.
And that is the one small dislike that I have with the Surface GO, needing to tote that charger/power supply to recharge and not be able to locate and use a simple USB to do the trick when not at home near the power supply.
But over all its a wonderful machine that is ready to tackle whatever you throw at it and is so lightweight and portable, why wouldn't you want to take it everywhere you go.

I May Be Old School, But I Prefer A Keyboard
on July 8, 2020
Posted by: PapawJeff
from Saint Albans WV
Touch Screen is very nice for many things but I still want that keyboard.
And this Keyboard works perfectly and instantly with the Microsoft Surface.
A quick magnetic attachment with zero configuration afterwards and it is up and running and the touch screen is still functional.
They keys are as responsive as any I have ever used on laptops and desktops and it has the added feature I really like of being a lighted keyboard.
It also has a full function touchpad giving the Surface the look function and feel of a very small laptop.
Of course that will consume a bit more battery from the surface but the LED's are not very power hungry and that function can be turned off right on the keyboard when and if desired.
And as quickly as it was installed it can be removed if desired when you want to go full touch screen and use your device as a pad.
This also serves as a very attractive cover to protect the screen of the surface when not in use, especially during travel.

Really Nice Low Profile Bluetooth CD Player
on April 21, 2020
Posted by: PapawJeff
from Saint Albans WV
Really Nice Low Profile Bluetooth CD Player.
It was really easy to pair with several audio systems, speakers and even a 2020 Toyota Camry which lacks a CD player as many new cars do.
In my test in the car the CD player provided a crisp clean sound through the speakers in the car that sounded perfect and the player played in any position and didn't jump, skip or flutter with a few vertical and horizontal shakes I did to simulate hitting a bump in the road. It is a little easier than putting the CD's on a flash drive and gives you the ability to grab other CD's at the last minute for a trip without putting them on your phone or a flash drive.
When my Dad rides with me, he likes to bring his own CD's to listen to and I really dont have any of that music (or want it LOL)
The headphones included are really mediocre in sound quality but probably par for the course in inexpensive earbuds.
My one wish for something it does not have would be the optional ability to use it powered from a power supply and not two AA batteries all the time

Absolutely Wonderful Vacuum
on April 2, 2020
Posted by: PapawJeff
from Saint Albans WV
It took me a grand total of 15 minutes to un-box and assemble this Dyson- V11 Origin Cord-Free Stick Vacuum. (and another 15 minutes to love it)
No tools are required as it easily just snaps together.
It disassembles just as easy to become a very powerful hand vac. The included crevice tool and brush attachment can be used with or without the fuchsia suction tube and are very handy for getting into cramped space. It worked well with the brush up and down the stairs and cleaning up my laptop and lap desk.
The brush vacuum head attaches to the suction tube for normal floor vacuuming and in auto mode automatically adjusts the suction as needed when changing floor types such as from hardwoods to rugs or carpet. It has two other power modes in addition to auto.
Boost gives you the most power but the shortest battery life and Eco gives ya the lowest power but the longest battery life
It did a great job on the Vinyl floors as well as rugs and hardwood
They incorporated the "Ball" technology in this stick and adjusts to many angles to easily manipulate around corners and other obstacles.

We have a cat and my wife has long hair, and neither cat hair or human hair was a problem for this vacuum. It picks up normal household dust and dirt and small debris easily as well.
I did 5 rooms and the hallway and the battery was still showing a full charge.
A wall mount is included that can function as a charging base if you desire to use it or you can just hook up the charger directly to the battery and prop it up somewhere or lay it on the floor.
Its super easy to "no touch" empty the full size bin with the flip of a lever and the washable filter access is but a twist of the wrist.

Sony Hit A Grand Slam With This Accessory !
on February 4, 2020
Posted by: PapawJeff
from Saint Albans WV
This is a very useful accessory for our new Sony Mirrorless Camera.
It’s also one of the most affordable genuine Sony Accessories for the camera that you can buy.
It is made of a nice stable heavy quality material.
The fact that it can also be used as a small tripod is great for packing away in the backpack with the camera when you don’t want to go full gear on an outing but still be able to steady a shot on a tripod.
Easy to hold and use as a grip, wireless remote that you pair with Bluetooth to the camera.
It also rotates 180° to take selfies and adjusts to multiple angles.
Changing the zoom and taking photos direct from this grip are two other great features.
It’s really that third hand you always need and never have!

And the iPad Smart Cover attaches magnetically and wakes up, stands up and brightens up your iPad 2.3

By PapawJeff

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

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.

And Setup Was Super Easy And Quick. :)

I did the setup from my iPhone following the instructions provided and the on screen prompts.
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

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.
