Great wireless TV headphones & works with XBox One
on June 6, 2018
Posted by: SimpleLiving
from Tampa, FL
This digital surround headphone system is the best I have tried and my son can vouch for that. He is an extreme gamer and he loves it. These headphones are designed for TV watching experience and my son was able to connect the tower to his Xbox with a digital optical cable. There are 3 methods of connection to the tower: Aux, HDMI (ARC) and optical. For the best sound experience, HDMI or optical is the way to go. The ear-cups are soft, and comfortably fit well in your head; it is a good flush fit. The headbands do have a very soft cushion band at the top that keeps it comfortable for hours of use. There are three buttons on the headphones: power, volume control, and a sound field. The sound field is great and you have the option for cinema, game, sports or voice. The charging/signal tower has in connection for aux, optical and HDMI. The tower has three main buttons: power, sound field, and input. The input is to indicate what type of connection (HDMI, optical or analog). The tower also has a front display that indicates the current sound field mode selection and the type of input. It does great at ambient sound reduction, and helps maximize the sound quality. The overall audio quality is the best with a warm inviting sound that brings the TV watching experience to life. Since the headphones are meant to be used for TV watching experience, it does not come with a microphone.

Must-have for your car.
on May 10, 2018
Posted by: SimpleLiving
from Tampa, FL
This is the second dash cam I have owned and after a few weeks of using it, I am very pleased with it. The three main strengths found with the Rexing V1P dash cam is that it is extremely easy to install, recorded video/audio is excellent quality, and works effortlessly on its own.
The dash cam is very lightweight and made of durable plastic.
INSTALLATION: The kit includes all the required hardware and cables to complete the installation. All cables are long enough for all vehicles -the rear camera extension cable is over 18 ft long. Depending on your vehicle, tools may not be necessary. Nylon cable ties might be used to tie the cables underneath the dashboard to avoid them dangling down. I ran the wires on the side of the car without any issue, I attached the rear camera from the inside of the hatchback door. Once the installation is complete, the buttons on the sides turn the lens up and down to adjust them for the best angle.
RECORDING: Inserting and formatting the memory card was easy to setup; Rexing recommends a “High-endurance” Micro SD Card. It does loop recordings, once the memory is full it records over the prior recordings. It has a collision sensor to prevent images captured during the collision from being deleted. The camera records at a wide field of view and the quality is perfect. In case you are in an accident, you want good images as evidence. Rexing cam produces good quality images. Saving money on a cheap camera will cost you more when you lose a case in an accident for not have quality images. This is the main purpose of a dash cam. It can be used to file a claim with the insurance company.
WORKS PERFECTLY: The Rexing dash cam records everything in front and rear of a vehicle. The rear cam isn’t as a high resolution as the front camera but it is good enough to record vehicles behind. I connected the dash cam to my computer using the included USB cable to playback the video recorded. The front and the back camera videos are stored in chronological order and in separate files.
Overall, I am satisfied with this product, if I am in an accident it would be very valuable. I highly recommend this a dash cam to be installed in all vehicles. This product could save you money.

Excellent blender
on May 7, 2018
Posted by: SimpleLiving
from Tampa, FL
As a smoothie fanatic, I was very excited to try this blender. It is fairly easy to start using it - just give it a wash, and it is good to go. The setup is a simple process as well. After putting the desired ingredients into the container, top it with the blade, and place it on the base. Tilt it to the side to start it, and then back to stop it. This simplicity of the machine is what encourages me to use it. My favorite part - which I believe is what really makes this blender a five-star product - is how efficient the Nutribullet Balance App is. After downloading it, just connect it to the blender through Bluetooth. This app shows a variety of distinct recipes for smoothies, dips, salad dressings, and soups that you could make with the blender. When following a recipe, the app will tell you how much of each ingredient you need and will alert you when you have put enough or too much. I am especially fond of this feature as no separate measuring cup or tools are actually needed. The app will also control the amount of time the blender is on, turning it off automatically. Moreover, this app allows you to keep track of all nutritional facts in your drink, soup, dressing etc. This is imperative for developing a healthier lifestyle. Cleaning it is an effortless task as long as you rinse it immediately after use. Essentially, I am highly satisfied with this product and I am sure I’ll be using it regularly.

Great universally compatible mic
on April 18, 2018
Posted by: SimpleLiving
from Tampa, FL
The Turtle Beach Stream MIc is very easy to set up and it sounds great. It is universally compatible with most devices via a USB cord. I use it a lot on my XBox One and it works perfectly; not all mics work with Xbox, it must be compatible. It focuses on your voice so it works well in noisy rooms. My fellow gamers can hear me loud and clear.
Assembly is relatively easy and it offers the option for a stand-alone on a desktop mount or installs on a boom clamp holder arm with the provided adaptor. I find it very useful the feature to connect your headphones to the mic which makes it very simple so that your hand does tangle with your headphones. It is compact and lightweight which makes it easy to move it from one place to another.
Very important, make sure the mic has the latest firmware and use the app designed for the Turtle Beach mic. Its digital voice processing tools give you a ton of options to play without the need to buy outside software or hardware (e.g. like a capture card). Properly setting up this mic you will get close to professional sounding product, you will sound like a pro.
The Stream Mic works on a variety of room environment and uses. Simply press the button on the mic to switch from different modes/patterns. The LED color light on the mic indicates the selected mode. The main mode is green which is the cardioid mode, it captures the sound on the front of the mic. Each mode has a customisable mic pattern and sensitivity setting. It comes with 4 modes, (Cardioid, Bi-Directional, Hypercardiod, and Omnidirectional) and with the option to install more patterns.
In conclusion, this is the perfect all-in-one solution for live-streaming video games and recording voice. My son and I love this mic.

I have the Corsair Dark Core RGB SE mouse and this pad is the perfect companion. The mouse pad has a great texture makes the mouse slide gently which makes gaming very easy and enjoyable. This pad also gives the user the option to charge phones and other devices with the use of an included adaptors. The mouse pad is very easy and quick to setup. Place the pad down on the desk, connect it to your computer and you are all done read to play.
The cord length is enough to offer the option for different types of computer setups. The surface area is big enough which also allows you to move the mouse a lot without it going off the edge. The product is well made with a durable plastic surface. The cord is high quality made and has a protective braided outer layer. This is a great mouse pad that will add to your overall gaming experience.

Great responsive mouse
on April 12, 2018
Posted by: SimpleLiving
from Tampa, FL
My experience with this mouse has been excellent. I have used it for hours and no issues. The mouse comes with a 6ft long braided USB cable for easy changing and you can use the mouse while connected. I also have the Corsair charging mouse pad and accepts any compatible Qi wireless charging pads.
It is very nice that it has many buttons such as the two buttons on the top left of the mouse. These buttons change the speed of the mouse. Another button that is useful for gamers is the sniper mode button this button slows down the speed of the mouse to snipe better in-game. The buttons are programmable and customizable. The mouse has a very nice fit for many hands and has the capability to switch the right side grip. My son and I use it a lot and we are very satisfied with all the features provided by this mouse.

Powerful portable speaker
on March 25, 2018
Posted by: SimpleLiving
from Tampa, FL
The Sony Speaker is portable, loud, and simple to handle; three essential features that make it a great speaker. They have a very nice cylindrical design and comes with many fun features that enhance one’s listening experience. Firstly, its portability allows you to bring the music with you wherever you may go. The sound is effective and easy to adjust. It comes with the lights that you choose to leave on or off while playing your music. Keeping the lights off preserves energy, while leaving them on adds to the fun. One feature I truly enjoy is the Bluetooth pairing feature. With it, you can connect two Sony speakers to keep the sound loud in different places in the house. The quality of the material is quite sturdy. Certainly, my family and I will be using this speaker a lot.

Take the party anywhere with this Sony portable speaker. It's safe to use at the pool or beach thanks to an IP67 rating that allows total water immersion, and flashing lights add mood to the music. This Sony portable speaker's Extra Bass keeps things pumping, and the Live Sound feature provides three-dimensional audio.

Excellent Portable Speaker
on March 25, 2018
Posted by: SimpleLiving
from Tampa, FL
The sound produced by this speaker is one of the best I have heard from all portable speakers. I like the extra bass that gives a boost to produce the best beats. I can definitely feel it across my big living room; which is quite wide. The speaker has a Live Sound button that when pressed it gives a real three-dimensional listening experience. The speaker’s box has an angled design which sends the music to a wider area. I initially used the speaker without the Sony app and it worked well, but I later downloaded the app and this gave me more control of the speaker setting. The app allows you control over the lighting mode, sound mode, turn on, and adjust the Power Booster, and play with the DJ effect setting. The first day I got this speaker I used it for many hours -first for exercising and later doing chores around the house. Good music played on this speaker will keep you very active for hours.
The Party Booster is advertised for party events but I find it excellent for dance exercise because you move more by holding the speaker and taping the sides to add your own beat sound to your favorite music. Five sides of the speaker produce different sound with the tap of your hand on each side. If you have another Sony portable speaker with WPC (wireless party chain) you can link them together spread your music even further. Overall, I am very satisfied with this speaker.

Great portable projector
on March 16, 2018
Posted by: SimpleLiving
from Tampa, FL
This Epson Home Cinema 3LCD projector is great to watch in a home theater room or any place since it is portable. It fits excellently in a backpack and it has its own internal speaker. The size is just slightly thinner than most projectors and its weight is light. If you are going to use a projector stand, just note that it only has three holes for attachment. It has all the necessary type of connections that you may need for today’s devices.
The best feature about this projector is that it does a perfect job at horizontal and vertical image correction, this is “Keystone correction.” That is one less thing you need to struggle with during setup because the projector does it automatically. It corrects itself to project a rectangular image from any angle. This is perfect for portability because you will sometimes need to project on a wall that is not at the best angle.
The fan noise level at normal mode is average -not too loud. When set in economy mode, the noise level is greatly reduced to the point that it is unnoticeable. The cooling fan has a small filter to prevent dust entering the unit. I will mostly use this projector in economy mode for two reasons: to have the least noise and to prolong the life of the lamp.
To sum up, this projector is fantastic for any meeting room, for portability use, and as a bonus, to watch quality videos. This is an excellent cinema projector.

Good headphones
on March 8, 2018
Posted by: SimpleLiving
from Tampa, FL
The Sony WH-CH500 Wireless headphones are comfortable, although the cushion is a little too small. The size and weight is excellent to store in a backpack or medium purse. The quality of the audio is good, although they won’t completely block out the ambient sound as much as one would expect unless the volume of the headphones is raised up to a high volume. It is quite simple to connect the headphones via Bluetooth to another device, and the battery life lasts a decent time-about an entire day. Of course, battery life does depend on the use of the product, but I believe for general use the battery life is fair. Overall, this are good headphones for small or medium size heads and we are satisfied with the product.

Can the key caps be switched out with other key caps

From Steelseries site:
What aftermarket keycaps will work with Apex 5? The SteelSeries Hybrid Mechanical Switches feature MX compatible stems, so most aftermarket keycaps will work. Additionally, the Apex 5 features a “standard” bottom row spacing for even greater compatibility. Be sure to check the specifications carefully before you purchase any replacement keycaps.
The caps can be removed and replaced with other key caps.
