This microphone is the perfect travel device, considering the size and how easy it is to throw it in a bag and completely forget that you have it with you. If you are a video/audio creator and like to travel a lot, you can store this microphone in a bag, and it doesn’t add any extra heavyweight because it is small. Right out of the box, you get all you need to start recording. It includes two different cables: (1) USB to computer and (2) mic to iPhone/iPad cables. What might attract many mic users is that it works great with iOS mobile devices. The settings included on the mic are (1) 3 types of pick-up patterns, (2) mute, and (3) dial/bottom to monitor the headphone volume (this is just for the headphone/output and not the mic).
The three pick-up patterns included are (a) Cardioid, (b) Omni, and the (c) Bi-directional (also called figure-of-eight). Bi-direction is the pattern I use the most, and it does work pretty well when I record two or more people (interview style). To control the input settings is only possible using the computer software or the iOS app, such as the desired sample rate and the bit depth. It is excellent for mobile recording; there is no need for additional devices to have an excellent recording. The manual provides the link to Samson’s free performance music production software. It is straight forward to use, and you can start recording immediately. This microphone is perfect if you are a gamer, podcasting, for interview setup (two people across each other) and for those who would use it while traveling. My son is an avid gamer, and he loves it when he gets to use it. It functions well on a desk with its tripod legs that can be easily adjusted to direct the microphone to the desired angle. The windscreen/grille and the casing is metal, with chrome and black matte finish. The entire casing feels well built. It has the optional stand mount, which is the standard ⅝ thread mount. Overall, I am satisfied with how the microphone records and how it is easy to take when traveling.

Eco friendly printing
on December 16, 2019
Posted by: SimpleLiving
from Tampa, FL
This HP product is an excellent high-quality inkjet tank printer; right out of the box, you will have the capability to a tone of prints, both black/white and color. The primary feature is that it has the ink tanks integrated inside the printer and not on the sides taking space. The ink reservoir tanks are still visible, but now they are in the front, and the printer is more aesthetically pleasing. What I like about the design is that it is a standard size printer, not bulky and that the paper tray is on the back topside, which allows me to access a blank/scratch paper whenever I need one very quick. The menu display screen is not a touch screen, and all the necessary buttons are on both sides of the screen — the flatbed functions as expected.
Setup: The printer comes with easy to read quick start-up guide; it includes many well-drawn illustrations. I did not have any issue unboxing and refilling the ink tanks with the provided ink bottles. The only non-major error I encounter was after installing the print heads, the printer screen displayed E3, which means error 3. I read the Reference Guide for the solution, and all I needed is to press the resume or cancel buttons. After performing a print and also an alignment test, I did the final step, which was connecting the printer to my computer. I downloaded the free HP Smart app/software, and it connected the printer to the Wi-Fi. Within a few minutes, I was able to print and scan from my computer or mobile device.
Both the computer and mobile have an HP Smart app that comes loaded with many exciting features, not just print and scan. With the app, a user can check and print photos from Facebook. Also, the user can select the setting for each task (print/email/scan/etc.), such as sending scan documents to an email or file it to a cloud drive (e.g., Google Drive or Dropbox). All your HP printers and scanners can be controlled with the mobile app and make any changes to preset settings. Smart Tasks has other features, but this review is about the printer.
With this new printer, now I don’t have to worry about last-minute going to the store to buy cartridges. I am more relaxed when my kids print since the printer has a continuous ink system. This printer is environmentally friendly because it reduces the number of cartridges that end up in landfills. Overall, I highly satisfied with the tank system, the quality of the print, and the Smart app.

Keeps devices in shape

from Tampa, FL
I am an extreme organizer, and I like to work in a clean environment; this also applies to working on digital devices such as PCs, tablets, and other digital devices. Creating a folder and organizing data files helps me be more productive in the long run. In accomplishing to be more organize and work more productive, the AVG TuneUp software comes very handily. Once download, the software presents the dashboard, which contains its basic four tools: (1) Maintenance, (2) Speed up, (3) Free up space, and (4) Fix the problem. As a note, I got my computer new about a year ago, not too old nor new. The first thine that AVG recommends is the CleanUp, which the software asks you if you want to delete specific files. In my case, it recommended and deleted old Windows files that were safe to remove, a couple of old download files or never opened, and some other miscellaneous files. After that step, it recommended reviewing browser data, such as browsing history, cache, download history, and track cookies. With track cookies, the information window had that if selected that I may need to log in again on websites where I used the “Remembered Me” function. A lot of the data files deleted were olds, and maybe I would never need it. Before proceeding and making the recommendation (deleting), TuneUp always asks to review the procedure/files. Another tool is the Maintenance, which looks at broken registry items, broken shortcuts, system junk, browser cache, and duplicate files. After fixing and cleaning, the other useful tool is the Speed up optimizer, which looks at the background, startup programs, and other unnecessary programs. After all of the cleanup process, I was able to obtain 8 GB of disk space. Overall, I am satisfied with how safe and straightforward AVG TuneUp fixes my computer problems, makes my computer run faster, and helps the device stay in shape.

The performance to deliver the perfect taste for every blend. The K400 variable speed blender's 3-part blending system easily blends even the toughest ingredients for a consistent texture. The ribbed jar design creates a powerful vortex, pulling ingredients into the unique asymmetric blade that cuts at four distinct angles, ensuring your ingredients are thoroughly blended. The Intelli-Speed® Motor Control then senses contents and maintains the optimal speed to power through all ingredients, from kale to almonds and more. Whether you're creating fruit smoothies or prepping a fresh marinade for a dinner party, control the taste and texture of your blends with the 5-speed variable speed dial, or use the 3 Preset Recipe Programs: Ice Crush, Icy Drinks, and Smoothie.

I am an extreme blender user, especially when it comes to making smoothies. This KitchenAid blender is super easy to use, doesn’t take up much space, and is super powerful. I like that it comes with the silver chrome-like metallic color, which matches my other appliances.
The three pre-programmed recipe settings (Ice Crusher, Ice Drink, and smoothie) make the process of using the blender easy and quick. The fourth pre-programmed setting is the self-cleaning cycle that uses rapid pulses of power and high speeds to clean the blender jar; I use this every time before I wash the container. To use this, I fill the jar halfway with warm water with 1-2 drops of regular dish soap. The manual variable speed setting provides more control of the blender, and I mostly use this setting when I am making more than two servings of smoothie or non-drink purposes (such as mixing some cooking ingredients). The blender motor noise level is normal, and I can have a conversation while it is on.
For all my smoothie drinks, I usually place a couple of mint leaves, and the blender does a great job to blend the flavor into my drinks. The blender crushes ice really fast and there is no issue with frozen food items, like fruits. The size of the jar is just right with a broader base and it is not too tall. I like this blender so much that I will be looking at purchasing its other accessories to make it a more versatile appliance.
This is a U.S.A. designed and assembled product. The motor base is heavy-duty with a sturdy design and high-quality materials. When using at max power, the base does not move at all, which is due to the unit’s weighs about 11.5 lbs and the rubber bottom. The power cord has a thick diameter and is 34 inches (0.86 m) long. The side of the unit has two concave gripping slots for convenience whenever the unit needs to be moved.
What makes this a great blender is how powerful it is, it is made with high-quality materials, and it is versatile (with accessories that are sold separately). I am satisfied using my new KitchenAid blender.

Experience high-quality audio and precise control with this Marshall Acton speaker. Its dual tweeters and subwoofer provide exceptional sound quality despite its small size, and Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity keeps you in control with no wires required. This Marshall Acton speaker is compatible with the Marshall Bluetooth App, so you can customize your listening experience from a distance up to 30 feet.
Posted by: SimpleLiving
from Tampa, FL
I love to listen to a variety of music genres, and this Marshal Acton speaker performs exceptionally well. The unit comes with two types of power cables, standard type A (North America/Japan) and type C (Europe/Asia), and it supports a variant power supply (100-240V, 50/60 Hz, 36 W). The unit size is perfect for any size room; the dimensions are as follows: 26 cm length x 15 cm width x 15.5 cm height. Four premium rubberized feet are high quality, the rubber incases a metal part, it doesn’t feel like a rubber sticker feet, and these are tight in place with a screw. The top plate with the control buttons, dial knobs, and power lever has gold color metal. All three adjusting knobs, bass, treble, and volume, don’t have a start and end positions, they continuously turn. When the unit is turned on, the adjustment starts at a certain point, and the user will use this point as a reference to adjust the settings.
The sound source connection can come from Bluetooth or 3.5 mm AUX. Switching from a source, one must press a button next to the AUX port; it does not change automatically. To experience the most of wireless Bluetooth connection, I highly recommend using the Marshall App. This a great feature because it allows the user(s) not only to adjust the volume, bass, and treble with easy but also pause and play (with some media players, skip and the previous song is controllable). The unit does have a click button to pause and play that works with both Aux and Bluetooth sound sources. With a wireless connection, the unit can get music from multiple hosts, which is excellent for any gettogether event. To power on/off the unit, the power lever must be press and hold for a few seconds, a small LED light next to the lever will indicate the unit is either on or off. When turning the unit on/off, it will make a light guitar jingle sound. The unit box feels extraordinarily sturdy and tight built; it feels like the casing is made from high-quality hardwood.
I mostly use this unit in my bedroom, which is a medium-size room and does an excellent job of filling the room. What I like most about the speaker is that it is hard to break the sound in terms of setting the volume at the max level. I find minimal distortion in the music, which is a good thing. The volume cranked at max, there is no perceptible distortion, and since it is high quality having at this setting for hours, the speaker would continue to work perfectly fine. What is most impressive about the sound is the low distortion, smooth mid-range, and musical base. Everything from the low to the high is tight and controlled. I listen to many types of music, and I feel that this unit successfully handles a wide variety of genres, from electronic to Jazz and from classical to rap. The base is above average for this type of speaker, and it is impressive how much bass is produced from such a small speaker. You can feel the airflow coming in through the speaker.

Workout Training system anywhere
on November 6, 2019
Posted by: SimpleLiving
from Tampa, FL
I am satisfied with the TRX Pro 3 suspension trainer kit because I can use it inside, outside, and on the go. When I decide to workout on the go, I look to attach the yellow suspension anchor to a secure anchor point that is strong enough to support my body weight. If working out indoor and my only option is to use doors, I try to use an exterior door because they are stronger than closet or hollow doors. While staying in hotels, I frequently use the outside door since it is heavy-duty. To be safe, I always lock and post a sign, “Do Not Disturb/ Do Not Open.” When I want to workout outside on my yard, I use a concrete beam that is under my lanai. At parks or outdoors adventures, I anchor the TRX to a heavy-duty railing, large tree, or a pole. Anchoring and adjusting the straps is extremely easy; adjustment to lengthen and shortening the TRX is crucial for a safe workout. The handle comes integrated with a foot cradle, which helps the system for thorough training. For the best results, I find a flat surface and an overhead anchor point. Side anchors, such as post, door, or wall hooks, work fine but is a bit challenging to me. Overhead, I feel that it allows me a greater range of motion for many of my exercises. Also, overhead anchoring increases my overall workout results. Overall, I am satisfied with my TRX system because with it any environment can become your gym. It is excellent for traveling or on the go workout. Great concept, turn any area with the straps and your body into a workout station.

Smooth your face easily with this Philips Norelco dry electric shaver. The ComfortCut blade system with rounded profile heads provides a smooth glide to prevent cuts, and the flexible four-direction movement enables precise shaving on different facial contours. This Philips Norelco dry electric shaver has a pop-up trimmer for easy styling of sideburns and mustaches.
Posted by: SimpleLiving

This product gives me a close hassle-free shave that I come to expect from an electric shaver. The blade system head feels more comfortable on my skin, gliding more smoothly and following the contour of my face for a very close shave. The rotary blades have rounded edges, which allows for smooth gliding. It is meant to be used dry, it can get wet but only to clean under the head. Cleaning is very effortless, just press on the one-touch button, the head opens up and then rinse under the tap with water. One feature that I like is that the electric shaver works both corded and cordless. The pop-up trimmer is a great option to retouch my sideburns. It feels like it is well-built and reliable. Overall, I am satisfied with this electric shaver, and it makes my daily morning routine faster.

The Kain 200 Aimo mouse is an excellent mouse for both gaming and PC use. Aesthetically, it looks clean, comfortable, and easy to use. It is about 125 mm long, 42 mm tall, and grip width is 61 mm. Works well for both claw and palm gripping; I prefer claw grip. I consider this mouse lightweight and ergonomic but not overkill. The grip is comfortable and suitable for long periods of use. The slight curves allow for smooth movement and picking up. I get pretty good performance with the buttons fairly snappy clicks that require a light amount of force to press. Side buttons are large, but it leaves room for thumb gripping. The scroll wheel is effortless to scroll with snappy clicks. The pads under the mouse are large, which I prefer because it reduces scratch on my desk. The charging cable is flexible, skinny, braided, and is about 190 cm long. Fully charged, the mouse works wirelessly for many hours. The mouse feels like good build quality. Overall, it is excellent build quality and which I enjoy using to play games since it performs well.

Great tool to improve sleep
on October 30, 2019
Posted by: SimpleLiving
from Tampa, FL
I have irregular sleep patterns: sometimes, I get a lot of sleep, but most of the time, I get very little. My daily activities and my health are affected when I don’t get good sleep. After two weeks of using the Philips Smart Sleep Deep Sleep Headband, I am impressed by how it has helped me improve my daily sleep. Before the headband, I was getting on average, seven hours of sleep, going to bed around nine pm, and waking up at four am. After using the headband, I now wake up at five, six, and even seven am, getting a daily average of 9 hrs of sleep. The headband has also boosted the quality of sleep.
It is simple to use, but before using it, it must charge for about 2 hours. Download the SleepMapper app and follow the instructions. Attach a new sensor behind the right ear, place the headband on the head, and snap the connector to the sensor. Adjust headband if necessary and then turn it on. Once the app establishes a reading, you can go to sleep.
I got the Medium size for my head size, and it fits okay, and the sensor was comfortable. It is adjustable but for up to head size of 23.5inch (ca. 60 centimeters) circumference. The large is for people with a head size of 23.5 inches (ca. 60 centimeters) to 26inch (ca. 66 centimeters) in circumference. It is very lightweight and easy to put on. The kit includes plenty of sensors and may be used again (only if the gel is present and it is still sticking well). On the app, you can view and compare how deep your sleep is. It also gives each sleep a Score, which helps you analyze if your sleep quality is getting better or falling off.
Overall, I love this product and would highly recommend to anyone who wants to improve their sleep.

Efficient coffee maker
on October 20, 2019
Posted by: SimpleLiving
from Tampa, FL
This coffee maker is very efficient! Coffee plays a very important part of my family’s everyday life. Thus, having a reliable and operative coffee maker is a must in our household. This coffee maker, however, goes above and beyond the basics with its various options, which enhance the coffee-making process. The machine has an advanced water filtration system that works to produce better-tasting coffee by reducing impurities in the water. Furthermore, it has a 4 hours freshness indicator that allows you to know how fresh the coffee is by tallying the hours it has been sitting. The machine has a “brew now and brew later” option which I am very eager about since my previous coffee maker does not have this feature. With this option, I can program the coffee maker to brew the coffee for whenever I want it ready. The Grab-a-cup auto pause feature is a feature that helps keep the coffee maker and the area around it clean while pouring each cup of coffee. The automatic clean cycle makes the cleaning process labor-saving and simpler. In addition, it’s metallic silver color and programmable led display give this coffee maker a modern look that easily fit my home. The color-coded measuring system is easy to understand and helps me measure the right amount of coffee and water to pour every time. Moreover, this coffee maker holds twelve cups, sufficient for large groups of coffee-lovers. Overall, I am highly satisfied with this product!

Does it come with a microphone or it that separate?
It includes a wireless lavalier microphone. They look like the ones used on tv shows that attache to your shirt or blouse. It is a small wired microphone that attaches to a transmitter. The transmitter has a belt clip to securely fasten to a belt. The device with the small antenna is the transmitter that communicates with the receiver.

Yes. Microsoft Office has a version for Apple. My wife and my children use Chromebook and Pixelbook (not Windon computer) and they use the online version of Office 265. I highly recommend using the includes OneDrive service to backup/sync all your files. This allows for easy sharing, ability to work on different devices and to work online or off offline. I have added a photo of a work my sone did with Word online version. The subscription allows membership for up to 5 users. I share mine with my children, wife and my sister. If you find someone reliable and that you trust, you can share the membership and split the cost. My family works more efficient for school and work related projects. Highly recommended!

Can this monitor be put on a desk mount?
The monitor is not VESA mount compatible. To have it mounted you would need to get a VESA adapter mount, sold separately. If you use an adapter, you will need to be careful when adjusting the mount and by using the adapter it might void the warranty. It is a good monitor but it is not a VESA mount compatible.

Since this laptop lacks an HDMI port, is there a way to output video to a monitor/TV? And if so, what would the maximum resolution/refresh rate be?
This laptop has 1 USB-C type port and Best Buy does sell adapters that you can connect an HDMI. Search for USB-C to HDMI adapter. I have used a USB-C to HDMI adapter on my other laptops and I have not had an issue with the image quality. You may also use a streaming device on your TV/monitor and then stream from the laptop with Bluetooth. The simplest method would be the USB-C to HDMI adapter.
