Great for outdoor usage or working out.
on November 10, 2022
Posted by: SimpleLiving
This pretty neat headphone has a solar panel on top of the headband. Besides this new solar feature, this Adidas is (1) made from recycled plastics, (2) designed for durability, (3) has up to 80 hours of stored play time, and (4) has intuitive controls. In addition to solar charging, you can still use any USB-C charging cable. Note that the box does not include a charging cable, uses minimal packaging materials (cardboard), does not use plastics for its packaging, and takes up very little space. About not including the charging cord, this is not an issue since, more likely than not, most users already have a standard USB-C of cable from other devices. Props to Adidas for moving forward to be environmentally conscious with this new headphone. They have this cool texture all along the headband and earcups. The ear cups and the headband's underside have a weaving fabric, similar to some of Adidas's popular shoes on the upper soles. They are removable for easy cleaning and for washing the fabric.
The top of the headband has solar cells, and it has a cool texture. The clamping force of the band is enough to keep the ear cups on your ear without causing discomfort. The cups are small; this is because they are on-ear as opposed to over-ear. You can move around, and they stay relatively in place, which is excellent for running or working out at the gym. The headphone has a multi-directional all-purpose button to control the power, Bluetooth connection, play, pause, skip, and volume. It has Bluetooth 5.2 and Qualcomm aptX for improved high-quality audio (HD). The headphones have a lot of bass; this strong pulse makes it great for working out to give you a push/motivation.
Overall, the sound is amazing for all types of music. The app has an EQ for sound adjustment if you want to change the boom or raise/lower the higher frequencies. The app also gives an update on the drain and charge. The sweat/water resistance is IPX4, so it will ok for splashes and sweat. For transportation or storage, the cups nor the headband don't fold inward, so you are limited to making them as small as possible. The good thing is that they aren't huge, so this is no issue. These don't come with their carrying case. It is best to charge these using a USB-C cord instead of leaving them exposed to the sun when not in use. The solar feature is excellent for keeping the battery charged when used outdoors. Prolonged ultraviolet (UV) rays can damage some of the materials of the headphones. They are great for charging the battery while using them outside to keep it fully charged. The solar feature charges very slowly, but when listening to music, it charges faster than it discharges. The built quality and plastic material feels very premium. They are comfortable to wear even for prolonged usage, and the sound quality is good.

Inferno blue light-blocking gaming glasses in matte-black Obsidian is the hottest frame in our range. Its square/rectangle style is a true classic that suits almost any face and outfit. The thin, flexible Morph-Flex® temples are designed to fit comfortably under your headset without compromising style. The Inferno also includes a strong, magnetic, polarized sun clip made from the same Morph-Flex® material that you can keep in the included microfiber pouch when not in use. The included Rezme™ Sleeper lens is fueled by a proprietary light absorption technology proven to absorb harmful artificial light emitted by your screen to protect your eyes to the maximum level. The lens is near clear and does not distort color. Using this lens regularly can increase melatonin levels by 96%, cognition by 47%, and reduce headaches and migraines, which may improve sleep, performance, and overall health. The lenses are finished with a premium hard coating for increased durability, an anti-reflective coating to reduce glare, and a water & dirt repellent coating for easy maintenance. PLAY HARD.

Great lens for better quality sleep
on October 28, 2022
Posted by: SimpleLiving
I am practicing different recommendations to improve my sleep routines, like working out early in the day, taking a shower before bed, lowering the temperature of my A/C, etc. Everybody needs to improve their sleep quality and improve overall health. Playing a lot of video games and using a computer, significantly closer at night, does have a detrimental effect on sleep quality, which I am guilty of and find hard to control. This Gamer Advantage reduces the negative impact of prolonged monitor/device usage, reducing exposure to blue light. Compared to other blue light lenses, what I like about the Inferno lens is that they are not bright yellow color, it is clear, and I can see the games in their original colors. I have been using it for some time and can see its benefits. Now I have less eye strain and almost no headaches without reducing screen time. The most significant benefits of using this lens are that I get a couple more hours of sleep and wake up well-rested. I can agree that this is a play-hard, sleep-hard product. The lens is made of durable and bendable plastic material, and at the end, it has rubber for better grip, and a loop/ring ends just in case one wants to use lens straps. Also, the frame lens is extremely thin, so wearing any headset would NOT cause pressure on the sides of your head. In video meetings, webcams, or live online game playing, the lens does an excellent job of not reflecting light on both sides of the lens. I use nearsighted prescription glasses for everyday use (driving, outdoor activity, or other non-up close screen usage). Still, since I will mostly use this Gamer Advantage for up close screen usage, I will not make them as a prescription. The polarized sunglasses are super cool, lightweight, and instantaneously attached to the lens frames. They are snap-on magnets and don’t easily fall out. The lens case is heavy-duty, and the pouch functions as a lens cloth. Overall, I like these glasses because it does their job as a sleeper lens by helping me get better quality sleep, and I recommend these to anyone who uses a lot of screen time.

Extend your wireless network coverage with this NETGEAR Nighthawk AXE7300 Wi-Fi router. A quad-core processor delivers reliable performance, while five Gigabit Ethernet ports let you set up an ultrafast LAN configuration. This NETGEAR Nighthawk AXE7300 Wi-Fi router supports speeds of up to 7.3 Gbps for fast streaming and downloads of large 4K videos.
Posted by: SimpleLiving
I have used a couple of gigabit Wi-Fi routers in the past, and this Nighthawk AXE7300 has super speed, tremendous bandwidth, and great range. It works well on both LAN and Wi-Fi. Nowadays, most homes should have a Wi-Fi 6 internet, which supports 2.4 GHz and 5GHz, and this Nighthawk AXE7300 Wi-Fi 6E does better support. With 6E, this device gets you a future-proof band connection. My first attempt setup with the app was a bit of a channel, and I got no internet. I redid everything again on the Nighthawk app, and I was able to get a successful connection. After this setup, it has been working flawlessly. My teenage son, an extreme gamer, notices that there are no drops, and his gaming is fast. Also, while he plays everyone else can stream with out interruptions. The additional service with this router is the Netgear Armor and Netgear Smart Parental Controls; you get a one-year subscription with the first one. Overall, this router is easy to set up and provides fast speed to any device.

Experience the benefits of Wi-Fi 6E with the fastest system eero has ever created.* This eero Pro 6E system (3-pack) supports network speeds up to 2.3 Gbps (a gigabit wired and 1.6 Gbps wireless) and coverage up to 6,000 sq ft. Experience gigabit+ speeds for more of your wifi needs—from VR/AR, to 8K streaming to using the latest Wi-Fi 6E mobile devices.
Posted by: SimpleLiving
My internet provider recently upgraded my internet speed to a new 1 Gigabit service (actually 940/880 Mbps), and I also got this eero Pro 6E to upgrade the mesh system. Installation: Using the eero app, the installation was quick and easy. The app gives step-by-step instructions. Disconnect power to your service provider router, connect one eero mesh device (that will be the main one) to the router, connect power to the router, and then the main eero. After, place the other eero mesh and connect wirelessly using the app to the main eero. Each device has USB-C power and a power plug, which is excellent since USB-C is becoming standard. The product states that it covers up to 6,000 square feet. My house is 2,800 square feet, but I find the coverage amazing because I get the Wi-Fi signal a couple of yards outside my house. This signal must be good because I did not get enough signal in other systems since my outside walls are heavily insulated. Each eero has two Ethernet ports, one 2.5 G and one 1G bit speed. The speed was similar using a combination of different mobile phones, desktops, and tablets. The average download was 829 Mbps, and the upload was 726 Mbps. Currently, I don’t need it, but it is good to know that eero offers parental controls and online security with a subscription to “eero Plus,” which costs $99.99/ year. With this, you get parental controls (block ads, filter content, limit access to specific sites and applications), track data usage over time, and additional protections (1Password, Malwarebytes, and Encrypt.me). Overall, this is an excellent stable system.

Great Smart Doorbell Camera
on October 16, 2022
Posted by: SimpleLiving
This new Nest doorbell with video is great because it is hardwired and there is no battery replacement or recharging. No battery adds more peace of mind and saves me my most valuable resource, time. I don’t need the 24 hr x 7 day video recording, which is a paid service of Nest Aware Plus Subscription, because the free 3 hours of video history is enough for my needs. I have an Android phone and use the Google Home App, which makes the installation and setup process very easy. Before installation, the doorbell transformer and chime, located near the power panel or doorbell box, must be rated at or between the ranges of 16-24VAC and 10-40VA. My transformer was next to my power panel, and it had a 16/10VA rating. If you already have an existing doorbell, all you will need is a screwdriver. Most of the time, this will not be the case for most homes, but if the old doorbell holes don’t align with the Nest doorbell plate, you might need to drill new holes. For some strange reason, my internet goes out on me once or twice a week for a few minutes; this new Nest doorbell is excellent for internet outage issues because it has internal storage that can record about one hour’s worth of video.
I got this doorbell in early October, and I was able to try its seasonal theme chimes, "Halloween." So, when someone presses the doorbell, they hear the theme or tone. In October there is also "Diwali", and I guess this changes based on the season. The details of the images are great, even in darker lighting. The microphone works very well with both live and recorded audio. In the settings, you have the option to deactivate the mic. This turns it off for both live and recording. I always keep it on, so when I want to watch it live I can hear what is going on. The audio recording records both the visitor and whoever is talking to the visitor. Audio recording can also be deactivated. The camera volume can be adjusted, and at the highest volume, the sound doesn’t get distorted.
The camera has infrared LEDs night vision for when there is low light, which I have not tested because my front door lights always turn on when it gets dark. The drawback of infrared LEDs' night vision is that the video turns out black and white. Night vision can be adjusted as "Always on", "Auto (default)", or "Off". I created an Activity Zone for specific types of alerts and I am impressed with how it can detect deliveries, persons, and packages. As you can see in the submitted image, I got a message with my package activity at my front door; the alert message was "Package no longer seen-Zone 1, Front Door Doorbell."
Note that this device does not include the indoor house chime. Also, my existing doorbell chimes no longer sound when the Nest Doorbell button is pressed. When someone is at the door, you will get an alert on your mobile device or any compatible smart speaker. This is no issue for me because my dog always alerts me when someone is at the front door. My dog's barking alert works all the time, even when the power goes out or when the internet is interrupted.
Overall, I am highly satisfied with this new Nest Doorbell camera. It works great without the subscription option, which gives three hours of event history. The video quality is very good and it does a great job of detecting persons, package delivery/pickup, and cars.

Beautiful dreamy look
on September 1, 2022
Posted by: SimpleLiving
I like the Aurora Collection because it has this beautiful dreamy look that features a lot of whites and pastel colors and with RGB customizable lighting. Logitech for doing something different with this collection to make it fun for everyone. The product and even the packaging is fitted well into this dreamy look.
The ear cup cushion is one of the softest ones I have experienced, which is great for maximum comfort. They are incredibly stinking plush.
Included in the box are: a wireless dongle connector, a detachable microphone, a USB-C extender adapter, and a detachable USB-C wire charging cable. With the wireless dongle connecter, Bluetooth, and the 3.5mm aux, you can connect this headphone to any platform. The headset is very light and weighs 270 grams (9.5 ounces). The hard heart-shaped case is very nice and a great way to protect your investment.
The cups fully swivel side to side, and the metal arms allow cups to extend for different head sizes. The size adjustment is firm, with smooth motion sliding in and out of the headband. The earpad moves connected with a rubber dome, also serving as the RGB, making it glow gorgeously.
The left and right cups have five controls: (1) power, (2) mic mute, (3) volume wheel, (4) Bluetooth/gaming audio mix control, and (5) Bluetooth connection button. The audio mix control is for the dual audio mixing feature, in which you can hear sound simultaneously from two devices (e.g., Bluetooth, LIGHTSPEED wireless, voice chat, or wired Aux 3.5mm input). With the audio mix control, I tone down the game audio (Lightspeed) and focus more on my music (Bluetooth). The detachable microphone bends a bit, which works fine for me. The sound is ok with the gaming background details. It is great with dialogue and immersive sound. I love the Aurora aesthetic design and its simplicity; it all flows together. The collection peripherals are different and convey that gaming is fun for all. This headphone is a premium and solid product.

Does a great job cooling a room.
on August 23, 2022
Posted by: SimpleLiving
I have a central A/C in my Florida home, and the purpose of this unit is to help cool down a room in which the central A/C doesn’t cool that much, and the portable unit also serves for when there is a power outage (e.g., after a major storm). Before turning the unit on, allow it to sit upright for a couple of hours to let its liquid settle in the right place, not into the compressor. This must be done especially after transport since the unit could have tipped on its side and shifted the liquids. Doing this will make the unit work more efficiently, avoid damage, and prolong its working life. The provided insert to connect the hot air hose to the window works for many types of windows. This part requires some work to make sure there is an airtight seal. If there is a gap(s), you will have hot air and maybe bugs coming into your home. I live in Florida, so I usually leave it in the Cool mode, which allows any fan speed, desired temperature, and no drain hose is needed. To better disburse the cool air, always maintain the swing feature. In dry mode, you can’t change the temperature or the fan speed in this setting. Also, you will need to use the drain hose (included in the kit) since the unit will remove moisture from the room. So note that since dry mode removes moisture from a room, it acts similarly to a dehumidifier. For example, I use Dry mode in my laundry room, walk-in closet, or bathrooms because these tend to have humidity issues. Fan mode is straightforward, it’s just a fan with the fan speed regulated, and the panel shows the room temp. The air exhaust and drain hose aren’t required for fan mode. Comparing this portable A/C to a similar unit, it does a great job cooling a room with minimal noise, very quiet. Of course, a higher fan speed will make more noise than a slow speed, but the unit is an acceptable noise level even at high speed. The sleep features set the fan speed to auto, the temp increases by 2 degrees every 30 minutes, stays active for 7 hours, and the control panel lights are dimmed for better sleep. The remote looks like a legacy/antique control, but it does function properly. To conclude, I am glad I got this unit to help cool a room, and it serves as an emergency for prolonged power outages.

Great for Meditation and decoration
on August 23, 2022
Posted by: SimpleLiving
HoMedics is a well-known company that makes excellent wellness products, such as massagers and diffusers. I have wanted to do a sandscape meditation project for a long time, but I haven't had time. It is great that HoMedics now has a sandscape table called Drift Meditation. Assembling the unit is simple, and it comes with two small sandbags, a comb/rake, a metal ball/sphere, and a very long (12 feet) power cord.
I love how the color light gets reflected on the sand. The app has various mesmerizing patterns to choose from, create or select a playlist of designs/patterns, control the drift ball's speed, and control the color scheme and brightness. There are holiday patterns, like Christmas and Father's day, and the app gets updated with new patterns you can download. I like that some patterns have written messages, such as "You are loved" and "Happy Father's Day." I hope the app designers can allow users to create patterns and add their own words. For now, I sometimes write myself messages on top of the glass with a color dry erase marker.
When the unit creates a pattern, the magnetic metal ball/sphere makes a continuous sort of faint grinding sound, which I find soothing. Whether listening to the ball rolling, watching, or both, the Drift promote calmness. Once in a while, when the sand accumulates on the rim/edges of the circle, I use the comb to spread the sand evenly, and then with the app, I play the clean pattern to reset the unit. The clean pattern can be used any time; basically, it spreads the sand evenly in a circular pattern. Overall, I am satisfied with this wellness Drift meditation table. It does help me a lot with the patterns, the metal ball drifting sound, and having messages in the pattern or me writing with a dry erase marker.

Easy to install, powerful and quieter.
on August 20, 2022
Posted by: SimpleLiving
This food waste disposal is great. It is easy to install, lightweight, compact, and quiet. No need to purchase electrical hardware; it comes with a pre-installed power cord. Size wise, it is very compact, which is excellent, so it takes less space under the sink. The outer casing of the disposal is made of plastic, and I saw some wrapped foam inside, which insulates the unit and makes less noise than my older disposal.
The installation was easy compared to older/standard locking ring disposals. It took me about an hour. It has more than enough horsepower for all types of scraps. The motor shreds any tough small kitchen waste in seconds. I have been using it for a couple of weeks, and it hasn’t gotten jammed. No leaks, so it makes a good connection. The splash guard is easy to remove and replace, which makes it convenient for cleaning and retrieving dropped items. I like that this unit includes a magnetic catch ring, which hopefully will capture metal objects, like utensils before they touch/enter the grinder. Overall, I am satisfied with this unit because it is easy to install, does a great job, and is quiet.

Simple and quick cooker/air fryer
on August 11, 2022
Posted by: SimpleLiving
The unit size is approximately (edges not perfectly linear to the base): width 14 inches, Length 14.5 inches, Height 13.5 inches. The power cord is about 3 feet long and has a three-prong plug. The main pot goes in any direction and has the graduation/measurement stamped into it. Depending on the cooking function, the grid tray stays halfway or at the bottom of the pot.
The functions buttons/dials are straightforward to use. The top has the Air Fry/Stovetop or Rapid cooker setting. After this, the function for the type of cooking is preset with temperature and timing for various cooking methods. My favorite function is the slow cooker to make lamb barbacoa (shredded beef).
The Speedi Meal Builder on the website (not an app) provided on the box offers thousands of recipes that can be used with the Ninja Speedi machine. The Builder starts with picking the base (e.g., frozen riced cauliflower, white rice, quinoa, etc.), picking a protein (e.g., hamburger patties, skinless chicken breast, etc.), picking your seasoning (e.g., BBQ, Taco, Fajita, jerk, etc.), pick your vegetables (e.g., green beans, bell peppers, broccoli, canned garbanzo beans, etc.), pick your toppings (e.g., salsa, fresh greens, guacamole, etc.), and then click generate my meal/recipe. The Builder will inform you of the ingredients and quantity needed, the instructions with tips, and you can print or share the recipe. I like cooking, and I love the Speedi Meal Builder for this Ninja cooker. Now cooking is so simple, quick, and delicious.

Stream your favorite shows on this 60-inch Hisense television. Its 3840 x 2160 resolution and 8 ms response time bring scenes to life, and 4K upscaling transforms lower quality video into HD resolution. This Hisense television is equipped with HDMI inputs to connect to a gaming console or Blu-ray player.
Why I see this tv offered to me at 479.00 and when I clicked on it has a 599 price instead??????
This has happened to me and I think this might be your reason why you see a different price. Sometimes BestBuy does offer a different price but the tradeoff is that it is an open box item. When a product has an available open box, it will show you the different prices. Sometimes availability of an open box depends on your location; it looks like they do open-boxes within a certain distance from your location. So, if you are doing a search on BestBuy.com for a particular product and the browser has a different zip code (auto fills the zip code) other than your location it will give you the price for the wrong location. Once you enter your correct zip code at checkout (or before) it will change or state that it is not available. I live in Florida and many times my browser sometimes gives a zip code from different states, like NY or NH.
Another possibility is that an Open-item was available when you started doing your search and just before deciding to checkout it is no longer available because had already bought it online or in the store. Nowadays, many stores are fulfilling their online purchase with their own store inventory, not from a warehouse.
BestBuy has 3 types of Open-Box products:
1) Excellent
2) Satisfactory (in-store only)
3) Fair (in-store only)

Only at Best BuyJam Thrill Bluetooth Wireless Speaker: Enjoy easy connectivity to your compatible wired and wireless devices with these speaker, which provide Bluetooth for connection from up to 30' away and feature auxiliary inputs for plugging in. Charge your USB devices as you listen for extended streaming.
Is this speaker drop proof
The top and bottom sides of the speaker are made of a hard plastic material which probably breaks easily. It is not insulated by any silicon or rubber type material, the bottom has some rubber but that is to prevent skids. So, I will not think that they can hand a heavy drop, maybe from a table to floor distance but I would be careful.

Can you plug in and use with a nano iPod?
This speaker is completely wireless, there is no iPod connection port and not even for the regular AUX connection. The connection to this speaker is through Bluetooth. If your nano iPod has Bluetooth, then should not have an issue connecting it.

Listen to music for up to 10 hours with this black JBL portable speaker. It has a built-in Google Assistant that responds to voice commands, and it delivers rich stereo sound while you stream music via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. This water-resistant JBL portable speaker is made of durable materials, so you can use it outdoors safely.
I want the JBL Link 20 in white. Is it available? And how do I order it?
I have seen these in white but I am not sure if this store sales them in that color. White is a very nice color but if it will handle a lot to move it from place to place the cloth-like material surround the speaker might get dirty and not stay white. This is just like white vehicle compares to a darker color vehicle, you will see them dirty more quickly. If you get white and you want to clean the side, then this will be no issue because these speakers are water-resistant.

Triple-layer shielding protects the cable from interference, creating a seamless picture.

My laptop works but the screen died. Both my TV & laptop have HDMI hookups. Can I use these to make my TV my computer screen?
Yes, It should work fine. I watch online movies using my laptop connect with an HDMI cable to my TV or my projector. It works fine. You might have an issue with screen size and resolution, but this is a temporary fix to be able to use your laptop with a damaged monitor. My laptop only has the newer USB connection but NO HDMI so I use an adaptor which allows me to connect an HDMI cable to my laptop. See image.

did it char like an outdoor grill? Thinking about getting this since we can no longer have outdoor grills in our complex.
Yes, it does char your food as long as it touches the grid.
