Those looking for a well performing mouse suitable for gaming that won't cost 3 figures, this is definitely a strong contender. Overall, it's a fairly basic mouse with only the essential buttons: back and forward, left and right, a wheel with a click button, and a button to change the DPI sensitivity. It doesn't feel nearly as premium in the hand as some of Logitech's other gaming mice, but it's also a fair bit cheaper. If performance is the primary concern for you, with hand feel being a secondary consideration, this is a mouse you should be looking at.

Top of Line in Features and Price
on August 8, 2018
Posted by: Jturn

This 4K Blu Ray player is premium in many ways: feature set, design, performance, and price. The main addition over the cheaper M9500 model is the compatibility with Control4 home automation. At current time, I do not have a system which can utilize this admittedly awesome feature, but at least in the future when I finally get there, this player will integrate nicely.
As expected, performance of this system is very good. I experienced no slowness what so ever, and the player handled basically everything I threw at it (including some home network file formats which surprised me). Just look at the list of formats that it supports and you'll realize that this is a player that you could build your home theater/entertainment system around.
The design is also very appealing. Though the curved shape is intended to pair with their line of curved LED tvs, I found that the player fit in with my collection of mostly boxy devices. Overall, the player exudes quality and style, which I know is important to at least a subset of men out there trying to appease their significant others.
Overall, the only knock I have against this player is that the price is quite high. The landscape for 4K players is different than it was a couple years back when there was little competition. Now, all the major brands have players across all price ranges. However, those looking for a player that can handle basically any format, and that has features that should keep it current for a while, this is the player to get.

Great performance, absolute portability, and shock and water resistance make this hard drive a great option for those that need to carry large amounts of storage capacity around.
Even in 2018, when pretty much all devices are shrinking exponentially year after year, the SanDisk Extreme hard drive's diminutive size took me off guard. It's basically no fatter than the USB-C cord that connects it, and it's surface area is less than that of a credit card by a fair amount (even with the corner hole allowing you to attach the drive to a carabiner or set of keys if you desire). This very conveniently slips into a pocket, allowing for a level of portability with this amount of space that is uncommon even these days. This portability factor would mean nothing if the drive was fragile, but thankfully, that's of little concern as the drive is shock, water, and dust resistant.
Performance is also up to snuff. After using with a number of devices, including a Chromebook and multiple Windows PCs, I can say that this device performs on par with or better than any external drive I've used previously, undoubtedly a result of both the solid state drive and the USB-C connection. The single issue I did have was while trying to connect to my Android phone. The phone recognized that a drive was plugged in, but received the error "This device doesn't support this SanDisk USB drive. Tap to set up in a supported format." I didn't take the time to reformat the drive into a different format, primarily because I don't have much need to use it with my phone.
Overall, I'd highly recommend this drive for anyone that needs lots of storage on the go in a reliable and durable package.

Supreme Build Quality, Comfortable Fit
on June 26, 2018
Posted by: Jturn
from WI
For those looking for a next level sleep aid, the Bose Sleepbuds fit the bill in spades.
Upon opening the package, the signature Bose build quality is represented here throughout. The charging case has a premium feel, reinforced by the solid sliding top mechanism. The charging indicators are sleek and incredibly eye-appealing, and the magnets that help guide the Sleepbuds back into the case and hold them in place add to the overall impressively premium feel of this package.
The Sleepbuds also have a tangible premium build quality backed by a surprising amount of comfort. Obviously, comfort level makes or breaks a product of this type; if these weren't comfortable, they wouldn't be wearable for sleeping. Bose has done a great job here as these are the only buds I've ever worn that were absolutely comfortable, even while side sleeping. The accommodate the most amount of people, they've included a few different sets of ear cups and holders for those whose ears don't fit the standard cups.
There are two areas of disappointment with the Sleepbuds that I should mention. One is that these don't have true noise cancelling functionality, so loud sounds may still creep in (though the passive sound cancelling these provide is very good and will suffice in all but the most extreme cases). The second is that the sounds you can pump into these buds are limited to whatever Bose makes available in their app, specifically designed for these buds. That means you can't pipe music into these, which is inherently odd for what amount to as a super comfortable pair of ear buds. I suspect both of these compromises were done for the sake of battery life, which is not coincidentally excellent (Bose states 16 hours, which I haven't tested, but they last an entire night for sure).
Top notch build quality and a surprisingly comfortable fit combine to make this package somehow feel worth the price Bose is asking for this set for those in need of something to help them get to sleep.

Huge Potential but Hugely Flawed
on June 4, 2018
Posted by: Jturn
from WI
These earphones have a huge amount of potential, but are let down by poor bluetooth performance. This may be an issue with my particular set, but as they operate now, they're largely unusable, especially when trying to watch videos.
To start, the sound quality is frankly great. Sony has EQed these to have a good amount of bass (much more than any other wireless earbuds I've tried), and to my ears, these sound really good. Also, the fit of these is really good as well. They have a number of different sized fitments that you can use to ensure they fit in your ears correctly, and for me, these fit great and stayed in my ears no matter what I was doing.
The above strong points are completely undone by some critical flaws. To start, no matter the setting I used in the Sony app, there was a noticeable (AT LEAST half a second) delay in the sound, which means that watching videos with these is out of the question. In conjunction with the delay issue, the buds both had fairly regular audible pops, which leads me to believe that something is severely off with either the software or hardware. This, again, happened regardless of settings in the app.
Sound cancellation ability of these buds is incredibly underwhelming as well in my experience. I didn't expect these to perform on par with a pair of over the ear phones, but enabling the noise cancellation feature resulted in very little difference in ambient sound (it should be noted that these passively block ambient noise pretty well). I also fairly frequently I had an issue where one of the earbuds wouldn't turn on when the other was turned on. This required an additional moment to turn the other bud on, and sometimes, took longer for them to sync and both broadcast audio. Finally, while I can appreciate a minimalist design, I feel that Sony should've included a couple more buttons to allow you to more thoroughly control the sound (or incorporate some of the touch gestures found in their excellent wh1000x headphones).
I had huge expectations for these earbuds, as Sony's recent track record of delivering sound products with high quality and supreme sound quality speaks for itself. These, however, severely disappoint. My hope is that my issues noted above are the result of early release software and not some inherent hardware issue that can't be fixed with a subsequent firmware update.

Amazing Concepts, Lacking Android App
on May 22, 2018
Posted by: Jturn
from WI
This is one of the coolest gadgets I've used in quite some time, unfortunately hindered by a buggy Android app; I can't speak to the iOS app as I don't have an iPhone, but I'm assuming it works better based on the videos I've seen.
From the second you open the package, this camera screams quality, and looks really sleek. The build quality feels utterly premium, with the heavy duty metal casing, in a way that GoPros simply don't. The camera also consists of only two buttons; the shutter button on the top, which doubles as the power button, and the button beside the screen which toggles between shooting modes. That's it. The idea here is that everything else is handling via the app, which I like a lot. Speaking of which, connection to the app is handled via the included micro USB to micro USB/USB C/Lightning cables. I really like this. Though it's one more cable to lose, connecting directly to my phone to transfer videos and pics is not only faster, but much more reliable than wireless connections that I've used on other cameras for transfer.
Once you start using the camera, you get a sense that this type of camera is the future of amateur video production. The concept that you can shoot a video and later tweak production by dictating shooting angles/directions makes so much sense that it's hard to believe this really hasn't been done before, at least in the way that the Rylo 360 cam does it. The app allows you to set focus points that slowly shift as the video elapses, allowing for smooth pans that look professional. You can also set fixed focal points (for instance, you can lock on to a person's face). This is where I ran into the first bug in the Android app, unfortunately. After setting a fixed focal point on my face for one video, the app wouldn't play back video a few times, and when it did, it pretty easily lost focus. The bright side to this is that, since it's all based on the app, there is a great chance that this will be fixed in the future, and it seems as though Rylo has been dedicated to bringing enhancements and new features to the app; I received a push shortly after getting the camera which enabled longer self timer shutter times as an option.
Besides some app issues, my main issue with the Rylo 360 cam is that it has no water proof rating. This is a fairly significant downside in my eyes. This camera would work best if it had the type of water proofing that is common on some others of this type, but I guess it's an obvious trade off for having a 360 degree camera that actually functions well. Rylo does sell a case which adds water proofing, but it's fairly expensive and the reviews don't seem to be great on it.
In summary, this camera (and more accurately, the app concept) is awesome. It feels like a fairly revolutionary step forward in amateur video shooting, but in my experience, the Android app holds it back from being truly exceptional. I have zero doubt that Rylo will continue to work on this, however.

Incredibly Simple Operation, Good Sound Quality
on May 18, 2018
Posted by: Jturn
from WI
Part of the reason for me deciding to get the Sony HT-Z9F sound bar was because of the availability of these wireless surround speakers. Honestly, there isn't much to say about these other than that they're incredibly simple to use, they have a good aesthetic that matches the main soundbar perfectly (and also feel very well made), and they sound good. The pairing process couldn't have been more simple; you initiate the add through the soundbar settings, plug the rear speakers in, and watch as the system comes together. Once they're paired, you're free to move these speakers to any location you see fit, which is the single largest advantage of these being wireless; all you need is a power source to plug them in, no wires to run across the room.
If you've sprung for the premium priced HT-Z9F soundbar, you'd be well served to consider these add-on surround speakers.

Good Sound Quality But Little Atmos Effect
on May 9, 2018
Posted by: Jturn
from WI
I was very excited when this sound bar was announced, as it promised the ability to add Dolby Atmos to my existing upstairs living room without the need for a bulky receiver unit, and paired with the wireless surround speakers that are made for this 3.1 system, I wouldn't even need to run cords to the front to get legitimate surround sound! Unfortunately, I've been underwhelmed with the Atmos sound, which may or may not be the result of the room I'm using the system in.
To start, I'll say up front that the sound quality is pretty good for a sound bar. It'll be more than sufficient for most, though audiophiles (which I somewhat consider myself) may be underwhelmed. The included subwoofer has a surprising amount of power for its size, though I had to crank it nearly to max before it felt balanced with the rest of the system. Also, the ability to handle 4K@60hz pass thru is a huge bonus (though it has only 2 HDMI inputs to utilize it).
As stated above, in my particular room setup where this system will be used (which has vaulted ceilings which very well may be negatively impacting the system), the Atmos effect is quite underwhelming. It seems to use the rear speakers (which are an optional extra) to synthesize the Atmos effect, and while it opens up the sound space, I never had a sense of "altitude"; said another way, I never felt as though the sound came from different height planes.
I'm not a fan of how Sony chose to include the inputs for the soundbar. Instead of putting the input ports on the subwoofer unit, which I'd imagine most will nest behind an entertainment center, they elected to place the inputs on the soundbar itself. While this may have been done for technical reasons (perhaps to reduce latency), this poses a convenience issue, especially for those intending to wall mount the soundbar. My next issue with their input placement is that they've chosen to put the inputs at an angle, undoubtedly for those choosing to wall mount. However, they should've given the HDMI ports more clearance. The display/ARC enabled port is the furthest back, and I had quite a bit of trouble connecting a heavy duty cable.
For those looking for a top of the line soundbar with good sound quality and the ability to pass thru the lastest 4K/HDMI spec signal, this fits the bill. When fitted with the optional surround speakers, getting good sounding surround sound couldn't be easier or more convenient, and for these reasons alone I would recommend the system if you can deal with the price. That being said, those expecting to be wowed by the system's Atmos abilities will be underwhelmed.

Amazing Flexibility and Feature Set, But Expensive
on May 6, 2018
Posted by: Jturn
from WI
The Bose S1 Pro is an amazing little package, with surprising sound quality and ultimate portability. But this comes at a price, which is typical of Bose products (especially their PA systems). Whether the cost to performance ratio is acceptable is highly dependent on the individual, but what I can say for certain is that this unit is quite amazing in what it can do.
I'll start with the cons. As previously mentioned, the biggest con to most will be the cost. For the same price, you can get a number of good performing powered speakers, though nothing that I know of comes close to the S1 in terms of portability. The next biggest issue for my particular needs is that it only includes two instrument/mic level inputs. This means you're either limited to a vocal + guitar type setup, or you'll need an external mixer. Also, Bose did not include a slip cover with the S1, which is disappointing. Finally, real directions were also not included, meaning you need to go online to get the manual for the S1.
Now, the pros of this unit. The S1 Pro strikes an incredibly impressive balance of portability and sound quality. Hooking it up for use by my band's singer (vocals and acoustic) during band practice, which included 2 electric guitars, a bass guitar, and an electronic drum kit to contend with, the S1 Pro kept up with volume levels set below half. The speaker cranked out very good sound quality, especially when considering the size of it. The ToneMatch feature also seems to work well, as it seems to enrich the sound of guitars. Also, for whatever reason, the model being sold by Best Buy apparently includes a battery, which looks to be a $100 add-on else where. This is an awesome accessory for the S1, as it gives you ultimate flexibility to use the speaker in any scenario without the need for power. Bose says the battery will last about 6 hours, and I'm inclined to believe it, as I've used it around my house, as well as at practice for at least 4 hours and it's still going strong. Finally, including Bluetooth connectivity was a good move on Bose's part. This allows you to use this as a monster portable speaker for tailgating, or to easily play music during set breaks. Great feature.
Overall, this speaker performs incredibly well in scenarios that it's made for. For instance, it's not made to be a PA for a full electric rock band, but would function well as a personal monitor, and if paired with another S1 would function extremely well as a PA for an acoustic setup (guitars, keys, and vocals for instance). For those looking for a PA setup that affords incredible flexibility and very good sound quality, this fits the bill, though at a price point that will undoubtedly turn many away. For me, it's worth paying the premium.

High Quality But Costly
on April 17, 2018
Posted by: Jturn
from WI
When you buy a Dyson product, you expect a certain level of quality and performance. The DP04 delivers in spades on both of these expectations, but does so at a price that makes it questionable whether it is worth it to experience top of the line air filtration in your home.
Starting at the beginning, the DP04 is dead simple to assemble. It comes in a few pieces that you need to snap together, with directions that are very clearly laid out. The process of hooking it up to your phone has been VASTLY improved from the first generation of products (I own a Pure Hot + Cool, which would not connect to my phone unless I put it into airplane mode).
Features wise, this has it all. When used in concert with the great Dyson app (which has also been vastly improved since the first generation of their products was launched), you get a comprehensive view of the air quality where your DP04 is stationed. The app gives timeline readouts of a number of particulates that may pollute your air, along with humidity and temperature measurements. The app also gives you the ability to control the unit the same as with the included remote. Along with the app improvements comes the very well executed front display. This gives you access to everything you need for those who don't find a need to use the app. Along with the tech aspects of the DP04, the indirect air flow mode where the fan blows backwards is ingenious and well executed. This is a great feature when you want to run the purifier but don't feel like having a fan blowing at you. It's a great, well executed idea.
Performance wise, I can say with confidence that Dyson has improved the purifying ability of this generation of devices an appreciable amount. I believe this is due to the new two stage filter system they've implemented here, with the expected HEPA filter being joined by a carbon filter (my Pure Hot + Cool only has the HEPA filter on it). I've noticed immediate improvement in air filtration while cooking. Left in auto mode, the DP04 is quick to turn on and kick into action when things get a bit smokey or fragrant in the kitchen area. The older Hot + Cool works reasonably well, but the DP04 works great and is quick to remove odors from the air. I was quite pleasantly surprised the first time I ran the DP04 near my open concept kitchen area.
The only downside to the DP04 is the cost, not only the upfront cost of the unit (which is quite steep) but also the long term investment you'll be making in filters. The filters, admittedly, last a LONG time (a year at normal usage, says Dyson), but will be pretty expensive to replace when the time comes. Regardless, being a pet owner and someone living in WI where you can't open the windows for fresh air for 9+ months out of the year, the cost of the unit is worth it for the amazing performance return.

Your best option is probably to buy the phone directly from Google. The phone will come unlocked and will work as advertised with VZW and Project FI (meaning it should work well with Sprint and TMo).
