Machine is an absolute beast
on September 14, 2023
Posted by: SimpleLiving
This pc is very gamery and with the possibility of upgrades. The box includes an acceptable quality Predator-branded mouse and keyboard and a power cable. There is a side of the case that is glass, which allows you to see the interior of the PC and a metallic side. It has more than enough air vents on all sides for decent airflow. There are two intake cooling fans in the front, a CPU fan, and an exhaust fan on the back. There are four fans to cool the PC, and they are all RGB color lights.
The performance of this machine is an absolute beast. The i7 provides good processing power and easily handles CPU-intensive applications. The 16GB of DDR5 RAM allows the computer to run smooth and lag-free applications even with multiple applications running simultaneously.
The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 GPU is great for running games at high resolution and fps. Even at high graphics, the fps can be over 100 on most games; this, paired with the CPU, gives a smooth and fun gaming experience.
This computer would still work for you even if you are not a gamer. Having many applications open and running smoothly is excellent when you have a lot to do. Running web browsers flawlessly, even when you have many tabs open, is a great thing when working. Overall, I am delighted with this gaming PC.

Excellent portable and very quiet keyboard/mouse
on September 8, 2023
Posted by: SimpleLiving
This combo keyboard and mouse is excellent for portability and office desk use. It can pair with up to 3 devices, which is great for users needing multiple devices (laptop, tablet, and even smartphones). I use it a lot with my double-screen foldable smartphone. There are two ways to connect: via Bluetooth or the included Logi Bolt USB receiver/dongle. With both keyboard and mouse, you can select which device (laptop/tablet/etc..) to connect to and switch seamlessly from one to another. The slim, lightweight, and compact design makes this an excellent portable accessory. Also, if used at a permanent desk, the small size will take up less space. They feel very comfortable when typing and using the mouse. The keyboard keys are impressively quiet when typing. Both devices include preinstalled batteries, and battery life is excellent; the keyboard uses two AAA, and the mouse uses one A battery. Overall, I am delighted with my new Logitech Pebble 2 Combo product. It is excellent for portability and multi-device connectivity and is comfortable to use.

Another great SimpliSafe device
on July 24, 2023
Posted by: SimpleLiving
I have had SimpliSafe home security solution for a year and am extremely satisfied with their products and security monitoring service. Their latest product is the Smart Alarm Wireless Indoor Camera. I will use it as a wired power camera with the included long USB charging cable. Note that the kit does not include the USB power adapter (7.5w minimum). This new product and the 24/7 Live Monitoring Protection service allow the monitoring agents to access live feeds, alert intruders of police response, and enhance law enforcement response times. The difference between this camera and the older one is that the agents get live streams versus the agents reviewing recorded footage when an alarm is triggered. This live stream also allows agents to interact with intruders and alert them that police are on the way and that video recording is in progress. You can turn off this feature anytime in the app and create a privacy shutter(off) when the system is turned off or in the “Home: mode. When the camera LED lights an amber color, livestream activity exists. According to SimpliSafe, an agent can’t live stream without an active alarm event. The HD camera video offers a wide field of view and a built-in siren, motion detector, night vision, and smart person detection. The system sends you instant phone alerts to monitor and see what’s happening in your home. The smart camera can be installed on top of a table or bookshelf or mounted on a wall using the provided wall plate (also the mountain screws and wall anchors if needed). Overall, I am satisfied with my SimpliSafe home security solution.

Control up to three devices with this RCA rechargeable universal remote. The quick access keys provide easy access to popular apps like YouTube, Netflix and Disney+, while the dedicated streaming device key lets you control services like Roku and Apple TV. This RCA rechargeable universal remote features a USB Type-C rechargeable battery that lasts up to 6 months on a single charge.
Posted by: SimpleLiving
What is included is the remote, instruction manual, a list of codes, and a short USB-C charging cable (no wall plug). Charging the control is straightforward with a USB power source; once plug, a red LED light indicates charging, and a green LED light means the remote is fully charged. To connect a device to the control, first turn on the device, find the code list for the type of device and brand (do this first and keep it handy), press and hold the device you want to program for about 2 seconds (e.g., TV/Streaming player/Soundbar…), then enter the five-digit code, and lastly, test your device with the control. Note that entering the codes on the remote requires viewing the diagram in the instruction manual because the remote doesn’t have number bottoms. I guess not having numerical bottoms allowed the design for a very thin remote. I only use this product to control the TV and the soundbar. I enjoy the quick access bottoms to Netflix, YouTube, Disney+, and Hulu. I am pleased with this remote: easy to program, ultra-thin design, extremely light weight and USB-Type C rechargeable.

Impressive noise cancelling earbuds
on July 13, 2023
Posted by: SimpleLiving
Poly Lens app ensures you get the most from your device, allowing you to customize and update firmware and other features. It comes with small, medium, and large ear tips that are easy to change—placing buds in your ear facing tip forward and then rotating downward-forward for the best fit and sound experience. There are two types of modes of listening: (1) Active noise canceling (ANC Mode) reduces external noise, and (2) Transparency allows you to hear your surroundings while wearing the buds. You can customize the ANC and Transparency modes in the Poly Lens app. The active noise canceling is some of the best I've heard for earbuds; it blocks out all types of chatter and other noises around you. I tested this feature at an Orlando theme park show with a lot of noise, and I was very impressed with how the buds do an awesome job at canceling ambient noise. With ANC mode, I always hear my music very clearly. The Customizable swipe controls are straightforward and great when you don't want to take out your phone and want to raise the volume or skip the song. Overall, I am satisfied with these wireless earbuds and it's impressive ANC mode.

The ultimate 3D surround experience that will blow you away. You’ve never heard anything like the JBL BAR 1300X—in your living room or anywhere else. More than just a great soundbar, it’s a full sound system. It features MultiBeam and six up-firing drivers—four in the bar and two in the detachable battery-powered surround speakers—that deliver massive Dolby Atmos and DTS:X 3D surround sound, centering you in your music, movies, and games. 1170W of total output power and thrilling bass from a 12” subwoofer is more than enough to make the room shake. Though, you’ll never miss a word with due to our PureVoice technology, which makes sure the dialogue is clear even when other sounds are at their loudest. When you want to enjoy your favorite tunes choose streaming via either AirPlay, Alexa Multiroom Music (MRM), or Chromecast built-in that give you over 300 music streaming options. But that’s not all. Your choices are as unlimited as you are because you can also pair the soundbar to your Bluetooth device. You can even take one of the detachable speakers (or both for powerful stereo sound) out to your kitchen or patio and enjoy listening to your favorite music or podcast there.

Your own movie theater-like experience at home.
on July 12, 2023
Posted by: SimpleLiving
The system comes packed in a big box that looks like the state of Oklahoma. It comes with a mounting bracket kit for the bar into a wall, two power cables (one for the bar and the other for the subwoofer), and a remote control. I chose to have it under my TV and will not use the mounting bracket. Two detachable surround speakers attach/detach from the soundbar, which is also used to charge the two speakers since they are wireless with built-in batteries. These two speakers have a USB-Type C charging port, three buttons, and a mounting slot. The subwoofer box is big and a bit heavy. The setup was fast and easy since the speakers connect wirelessly using BlueTooth. When celebrating the system, it is important the correct the placement of the detachable speakers to experience the best possible surround sound. The JBL One app guides step-by-step instructions for placing the rear speakers and does the entire calibration in a few minutes.
The methods of connecting the TV to the soundbar are optical cables or HDMI-ARC. For the best experience, I connect the soundbar to the TV using the HDMI-eARC (enhanced audio return channel). If your TV does not have an HDMI-ARC, you can easily convert a regular HDMI port to an HDMI-ARC using your TV’s settings. The ports are all in the back of the soundbar and have various options. An HDMI-eARC both receives audio from the TV and also passes a long video to the TV; this feature allows you to connect game consoles, DVD players, and other HDMI devices onto the soundbar’s HDMI 1, 2,&3 ports instead of connecting the device directly into the TV. If you connect your TV to the soundbar via the digital optical option, the three extra HDMI ports on the soundbar will not work. So if you want to use these additional HDMI ports on the soundbar, you must use the HDMI-eARC. If your TV does not have eARC, just ARC, it will also not work.
To use the system with mobile devices and to update the system software, you must connect it to your home’s Wi-Fi using the JBL One app. It is relatively easy to connect and update the software, which takes about 10 minutes. The app allows for five-level settings for Bass, Mid, and Treble. The app/system has Chromecast built-in availability and the ability to add (integrate) the following music service: (1) Amazon Music, (2) Calm Radio, (3) iHeartRadio, (4) Napster, (5) QoBuz, (6) Tidal, and (7) TuneIn. This type of music stream means that the music is directly streamed into the bar instead of streaming to your mobile device and then to the bar. The benefit of direct streaming is that it gives the system access to higher streaming than Airplay, Bluetooth, or Chromecast. In addition to better music streaming, it frees up your phone audio while the music continues to play. The remote is thin and narrow, with just a few buttons for the most useful things: HDMI (#1, #2, & #3), Dolby (Low, mid & height), Five levels of bass, rear (mute, low, middle & high), TV, Bluetooth, Power, Mute, Volume Up/Down, Calibration, Play, and Heart. The sound is impressive and well-balanced. The pure voice dialogue enhancement technology does enhance the clarity, depth, and richness of voices and ensures every word gets delivered with stunning precision and accuracy.

Excellent Premium Smart TV
on July 3, 2023
Posted by: SimpleLiving
The specs in this device make this a high premium tier smart TV. The TV mini-LED has over 1,000+ dimming zones, which enhances the image quality and helps with blooming while promising the same impressive brightness. Image banding and upscaling are great on this TV; it makes lower-resolution images fit into the screen by preserving details and making pictures look properly crisp (not blurry or overly sharp). The 1,500 nits peak brightness, a high number of nits for a TV, can make the picture look brighter, producing better images even in very bright rooms. This feature is great when you can't make a room very dark in the daytime because of windows. A native 144hz VRR's extremely high refresh rate makes this TV great for gaming. For gaming, it has an auto low latency mode which the TV automatically switches into the designated setting gaming mode (Note that the gaming console's input must be chosen in the setting for this feature). It has the Wi-FI 6E standard enabled, which benefits homes with wireless networks (routers or mesh Wi-Fi systems) that operate on the new 6 GHz frequency band. This new band has less interference with other devices, and speed is much faster, so you won't have streaming issues if you have fast Gigabit internet.
The Google TV control comes with many smart features and streaming apps. The control includes buttons for the most popular apps and a voice-controlled mic via Google Assistant. Attaching the stand is fast and very easy to do. Note: that it requires two people to move and set up. Place the TV face down on top of a flat surface, insert base stands into the bottom slots on the TV, and finally, stand the TV upright on top of a sturdy table. The physical look and design of the TV is simple. The two feet (base stand) pro is set up high enough for it to fit a low profile sound bar beneath (up to 2.5" at the center of the TV). A port array on the back features four (4) HDMI 2.1 ports (2x 4K@144Hz and 2x@60Hz). As my personal preference, I will install dedicated home theater speakers with a soundbar. This TV does include great speakers, which produce impressive sound. It has ATSC 3.0 broadcast standard antenna, so it is the latest, and a NextGenTV tuner. Compared to my older TV, I get more broadcast channels, better reception with an improved digital signal, and 4K pictures in my area. To conclude,, I am satisfied with this new Hisense smart TV.

Excellent surge protector
on June 20, 2023
Posted by: SimpleLiving
Now more than ever, home devices have increased, e.g., home theaters, game rooms, offices, etc…, and in most cases, the standard duplex (2) wall outlet will not be enough. The solution when you need more outlets is the 360 Electrical power outlets. Getting this product is the easiest and fastest way to upgrade and multiply outlets. This product can rotate each outlet and allows the plugging of oversize and chunky chords. Each of the sockets rotates 360 degrees. Another benefit is its surge protection built-in (up to 1080 joules) to protect expensive devices such as laptops, computers, and televisions. The manufacturer includes a connected equipment warranty. The power outlets also have four (4) USB-A 24 watts shared ports. The five (5) feet long power cord is braided (feels thick and heavy-duty), and that plug is at a 90-degree angle so you can back up any furniture. The rotating outlets look modern, heavy-duty, and excellent for protecting devices. To conclude, this surge protection rotating outlet is a wise investment to protect all types of electrical devices.

The XPS 15 laptop is the perfect balance of power and portability with an unrivaled immersive visual and sound experience. Whether you are streaming, editing photos or creating your next masterpiece, the XPS 15 has the power to move your ideas into reality.
Posted by: SimpleLiving
This Dell XPS 15 is the perfect portable laptop to replace a desktop computer—a tremendous multi-use laptop for students, businesses, and professionals. The sleek, thin, and aluminum design makes it pleasant to carry around. It is not lightweight but not too heavy either; it weighs 4 lbs. and is 3.25 oz (1.9kg), like the average for this type of laptop. The charging brick is thin, the cable is 9 feet long, and the connection to the laptop is USB type C. The display is matte and non-touch, with excellent color accuracy, anti-reflective and lovely resolution. I have an issue seeing the display for both indoor and outdoor use. The trackpad is large and responsive. The speakers are excellent. The heat is well managed and disbursed underneath the bottom and rear vents. It has three (3) USB-C ports, which are full function for (1)data, (2)charge, (3) display out, and (4) Thunderbolt 4. The box includes a hub adapter to make one of these ports into a USB Type A and HDMI. A full-size SD card slot and a 3.5 mm microphone/ headphone jack exist on the right side of the XPS. On the left is a Kensington Security Slot to secure the laptop to a desk with a cable lock (not included). It has a sleek and durable design, fast response and performance, and features make this a premium Windows.

Excellent for sleep tracking
on May 4, 2023
Posted by: SimpleLiving
This is the smallest and easiest to put on of all the fitness and sleep trackers on the market. It is excellent to track workouts and sleep. The ring is charged by sliding it on top of its charger stand. I am satisfied with the duration of the battery life, lasting 4-5 days. The ring software gives me an overall status and readiness for the day. The Readiness feature gives you the resting heart rate, variability, respiratory rate, average blood oxygen, body temperature, and sleep score. Sleep can tell you how long you are in bed, the sleep efficiency, and the stages (REM, Light, and Deep sleep).
The main reason for the Oura ring is to understand my sleep, improve my lifestyle behaviors, and how changes in my life impact my overall sleep quality. My sleep quality has improved after using the ring, and has resulted in a more energized and productive day. Along with other lifestyle habits, mindfulness, exercise, and healthy eating, the ring improves my quality of life. Overall, I am satisfied with the Oura ring.

This mic says that you can use it with the xbox, but it is not clear on whether or not it will work to capture my audio when I stream from my xbox one x onto mixer. Will this work to carry audio to mixer for me stream or is it used for party chat only?
The Turtle Beach Stream mic does work great with XBox onto Mixer. I had no issue using this mic on the Xbox One.

If I plug this into my Xbox will the sound still come from my TV or will I need to purchase a headset?
You can attach connect a headphone to the Stream mic. 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. This setup is a lot better than having the headphones connected to the Xbox controller.

What's a broom stick and pop filter? I saw in one of the answer you said a broom stick and pop filter will make this mic better?
The boom stick/arm/stand allows for the mic to be floating on top of your desk and not directly on the desk/table. This will reduce the noise produced from your keyboard or other device being capture by the microphone. The pop filter is to improve the voice quality. The stream mic is great, try it without the other accessories first before buying the other stuff.

I plan on buying this to set it up on a boom arm. Do I need to buy a usb extension cable or is the one provided long enough?
The USB cable is about 10ft long, see submitted images. It is long enough for most setup and it feels like high quality.

Just had this tv delivered yesterday and its $30 cheaper today can I get a credit
Yes. It is in their PriceMatch policy: "If we lower our in-store or online price during the return and exchange period, we will match our lower price, upon request."
Also, since Best Buy store prices aren't always the same as the BestBuy.com (online) prices, it is good to know that they also do price match between those two: " We match BestBuy.com prices on in-store purchases and in-store prices on BestBuy.com purchases." In respect to Price Match, I like Best Buy because they don't give you an issue compared to other stores.
Conclusion, if you within the return period you can get back the difference between what you paid and the cheaper price.
Do it fast and good luck.
