Great wireless heaphones

Marshal makes quality professional products, and this quality continues with its consumer products. The Monitor Headphone is robust, built strong and has a cool design. It is lightweight, comfortable to use and the battery life lasts a long time. The earcups are soft and comfortable. The size is perfect, not bulky, and the headband frame is adjustable. It slides very easily, and it fits well on my head.
This product excels in sound quality-- there is no distortion at higher volume, and all lows/mids/high frequencies are pretty clear. The brass control knob is a smart concept and simple to use, which is way better than having multiple buttons all over the place. This multi-button organizes all basic functions: power on/off, Bluetooth, volume, pause/play music, next/previous song, answer/end and reject calls. The brass button only works when using the headphone wirelessly/Bluetooth. When using the wired cord, the brass control button will not control the plugged device, but the cord button has a button which only has a few functions.
The box comes with an optional 3.5mm AUX wired cord. On end, that connects to devices, is right-angle and reinforced with heavy-duty strain relief spring. I have no issue using the wire on any device, specially while I laying down. The cord is 50 inches long, and it can stretch about 15 inches more.
The cord has a mic and a multifunction button (only for answering calls, hang up, play/pause song, fast forward). By accident, I found out that if continuously pressing the buttons, it activates the phones assistant. If using the headphones wirelessly, the right earpiece has a built-in microphone.
The Bluetooth on the headphones works very well, and it enables me to listen to music and voice conversation without intermittent stuttering. I live in a 2-floor house with about 2800 square foot area and using the wireless option allows me the freedom to move around the entire house. I have not heard a sound communication complaint from callers when I answer my call with the headphone.
When used wirelessly, the 3.5 mm socket on the earpiece can be used to plug another headphone and share the sound with a friend. This option is excellent for my son during road trips when he wants to share the audio with his sibling or friend. The earcups fold inward for easy storage and transportation. The box includes nice looking black carrying bag with a hole to insert the charging cord for a quick charge without taking out/in the headphone. The USB charging cable comes with a reinforced neck at each end, this way it won't bend or break at the point of contact.
This headphone surely will withstand extensive use. I am a heavy user of headphones, and they have held pretty well. I find it enjoyable to listen to music with this Marshall Monitor Headphone.

Great all around printer, scanner and fax machine
on March 1, 2019
Posted by: SimpleLiving
from Tampa, FL
HP makes quality products, and this HP OfficeJet Pro 900 is no exception. I use this printer for personal, school and a home business. My kids do online schooling at home, which they frequently scan and print documents.
The All-in-one printer, software, and apps are designed to save time. It is fast and hands-free with two-sided printing and scanning. The auto-feeder is easy to use, place the document(s) on top of the feeder slot, the scanner will beep once notifying the document are inserted correctly, and finally press the scan button on the touchscreen, mobile device app or the computer software. The auto-feeder can hold up to 35 pages, and can be scanned 2-sided. Wow! This is a fast scanner.
The OfficeJet Pro is very convenient when working at multiple locations. Its software, apps, and online features allow the freedom for cloud printing via Wi-Fi or cellular. Using the HP Smart app, one can quickly access and print documents/images from Dropbox and Google Drive. There is the option to save a scanned document to an HP Smart folder onto a cloud file hosting server (Dropbox, Google Drive, One Drive, Box, Evernote, and even Quickbooks). To do this is very simple, create a "Smart Task" on the HP Smart app, select one of the above cloud file storage service, log in, accept an agreement, name the task and click save/done. After creating a Smart Task, or many Smart Tasks, this will be a time saver because, with a few steps, one can print in a specific format/setting, send a file via email, or save to the selected cloud storage. When documents are scanned using Smart Tasks, there is an option to save it as editable and searchable. Having document files save as searchable saves me a lot of time from opening many similar docs to finding the one I need. The Smart Task is available on a computer and the mobile app.
HP printing is also possible via an email address. With a private email address for the printer, one can print by sending email messages to the printer. If desired, one can even share this email with friends and family. When there is a print from an email, it prints any attached file(s) and a final page with email context. Taking a photo with a mobile device and using the HP print email allows printing from virtually anywhere. Very convenient!
The printer has two paper trays which make refills less frequent or when using two different types of paper. On the main tray I have the regular white paper, and on tray 2 I sometimes have elegant paper. To print using paper in tray 2, select the preference in the printing setting and change the paper source to tray 2.
When it comes to the ink supply, there is two option: buy the cartridge when it runs out or subscribe to HP Instant Ink plan. When the printer is set up with a plan, and the printer anticipates that ink level is low, it automatically orders new ink cartridges.
I am satisfied with the printing, scanning, and software of the OfficeJet Pro 9025. The Smart Tasks app has saved me a lot of time by automatically saving to a cloud service. It makes it easy for me to work on any computer and have my files accessible.

Premium, thin and extremely light weight
on February 15, 2019
Posted by: SimpleLiving
from Tampa, FL
This LG gram is a premium ultrabook computer that is thin and light without compromising battery life and features. The nanocarbon magnesium full metal body and the design make this device thin, extremely light and rigid. The model "gram" was chosen to reflect that its weight is about 1 kilogram. The lightweight does not compromise the premium features like battery life and performance. The main components: Intel's 8th generation Core i7 processor, 16 GB memory and a 512 GB solid state drive provides maximum high-efficiency, power, and fast speed. The 14-inch HD monitor is a great size to work and easy mobility. Its touch screen is responsive with good contrast and excellent brightness. The screen is shiny, but the brightness helps counteract the reflections.
The speakers are on the bottom sides, and at the max volume, the sound is acceptable without any weird laptop vibrations. What makes this laptop an excellent portable device is its battery life. Working outside on the field, I have not had an issue with running out of battery power. It lasts a long time.
Other important features:
It can easily convert into a tablet mode and back again to laptop mode. The power button has a fingerprint scanner embedded for secure account login. I like that the camera is on top of the monitor; other laptops are under the monitor which the angle of view tends to chow more chin and nose hair. The mouse pad is responsive, large enough, and not in the way whenever I am typing. The mouse clicking does not make a loud sound.
Ports and accessories: Waco AES pen, which works well for designers, 2 regular USB, 1 USB-C, an HDMI, Micro SD slot, AUX for audio, cable lock slot, and an Ethernet adapter that connects to the USB-C port.
I am delighted with my new premium ultrabook. It is very thin, ultra light and powerful

Excellent Espresso Machine
on January 25, 2019
Posted by: SimpleLiving
from Tampa, FL
I have used other home espresso machines, and by far the Brim 19 Bar Espresso Maker is a world-class home machine. The machine and all of the accessories are well built with quality materials and design. When you lift, its heavy, and when touching the device, you can feel the quality. The appearance is stunning and looks professional. It perfectly complements my other chrome appliances, and it is excellent as a countertop appliance because of its compact size.
The quick start guide is simple to follow with illustrations and clear instructions. Before fire use, the machine needs to be thoroughly clean. After completing the cleaning step, the water tank must be filled correctly to use the machine. The three main features that can be used on this machine are the thermal coil for espresso, the texturized microfoam, and the hot water dispenser.
(1) Making the expresso is uncomplicated. There are four filter baskets total-two pressurized and two that are non-pressurized. If the coffee is fresh and finely grind, the non-pressurized filter is more appropriate. The pressurized filters are for when the coffee is not fine grind or fresh. Before and after each use, it is a good idea to purge the filters- run it on the brew head without coffee.
(2) For the texturized microfoam, the more I used it, the better I got in making the perfect texturize foam milk. The secret to making the most foam is to fill the metal pitcher no more than 1/3 of the way, insert the tip of the wand on or just below the surface of the milk, tilt/angle the pitcher to create a vortex with the steam. After creating enough foam, mix with a freshly made espresso.
(3) The hot water dispenser is excellent to obtain hot water for Americanos or hot teas. The instant hot water wand is the easiest of the three features. Place a cup under wand and turn the function control dial to the hot water setting.
The other features and accessories add value to this espresso machine. The heated die-cast top plate keeps the cups warm. All you need to make great coffee with this machine are freshly fine grind coffee, sugar, milk, and a few glass or ceramic cups. It is an excellent machine, and a must have if you love coffee. All my friends and family are amazed I can make them coffee like a professional barista. I enjoy making coffee using this machine, which is great since my family likes a homemade fresh hot cappuccino.
I love this machine, and now I am making coffee every day.

Excellent electric shaver
on January 5, 2019
Posted by: SimpleLiving
from Tampa, FL
Manual blades sometimes they would irritate my skin, and I had to be very careful to avoid skin bumps. The Philips Norelco Shaver 6900 is my first electric shaver, and I am highly satisfied with its performance. Now I have the smoothes shave without the nicks and ingrown hairs. I usually shave every other day, my type of hair is coarse and thick. It is easy to change shaving heads, and it is not noisy. The comfort glide shaving rings work excellent on my skin, and it doesn't cause it to become irritant. The multiflex heads following the curve of my face, and even catching hair in my neck and jawline. The shaver functions wet or dry, but I prefer using it wet. Cleaning the shaving heads is straightforward, pull out the 3-ring cartridge, open the cartridge and rinse. No more guessing games with the battery life, the shaver has LED display lights for three level battery life indicator.
The shaving kit also includes a click-on bear styler, a charging stand, and a hard travel case. As an option those who travel or don't like to use the charging stand, the charging cord can be directly plugged into the shaver. It is convenient the included bear styler for whenever I decide to grow a bear. Compare side by side to the manual shaver; I get a much better shave and way less irritated skin with the Philip Norelco Shave 6900. I am highly satisfied with my new shaver.

Excellent portable document scanner and software
on December 21, 2018
Posted by: SimpleLiving
from Tampa, FL
I have ten-year-old Epson printer that works perfectly. Epson makes quality products that last a long time, and this WorkForce ES-55R portable document scanner is no exception. It is excellent for digitizing documents and receipts on-the-go. I work managing accounting books for many companies, and I am frequently on the field. This portable document scanner is lightweight, compact (about the size of a ruler) and scans very fast. It saves me time by scanning documents on the spot. The software included is very powerful in that it gives you a ton of options to help you save time storing and finding critical data and documents. Having the opportunity to get digital documents is better because it saves money from having file cabinets, and it is easier and faster to access and to share.
What I like the most about this product is the included software. It has a premium accounting feature that automatically extracts data from receipts/invoices (even tiny receipts), and it exports it into different formats (Quickbooks, Excel, and PDF). It is easy, the scanner scans the receipts and invoices, the softwares extracts data, and it then it exports it to another software or saves it to a location. The scan quality is impressive with the resolution ranging from low 75 dpi to high 1,200 dpi. The software is smart enough to get data from each scanned receipt with high accuracy. The data still needs to be review by someone for possible errors. The data extracted are the: date issue, vendor, total, tax, tip, and card used. The file name format options allow for three fields to choose from: vendor, date issued, total, tax category, card type, payment method, classification, and sub-classification.
The software provides different actions when scanning other types of documents. It has the basic options like printing, saving to the computer, attach to an Email, and save to Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. The software also offers additional options like sending the file to Google Drive, Dropbox, Evernote, and OneDrive. The only feature that I have not used is the Nuance Power PDF, which creates, converts and assembles searchable PDFs (also annotate, highlight and redact). The software saves the documents to PDF formats that can be searchable and editable.
Overall, I am highly satisfied with my new portable document scanner. It is lightweight, compact, portable and it does a great job at scanning documents. The included software is powerful and very useful.

Excellent massaging device
on December 19, 2018
Posted by: SimpleLiving
from Tampa, FL
I work out frequently at my home gym, and I also do a lot of yard work almost every day. My muscles are usually tight and sore despite properly stretching before and after each work. When I saw the Hyperice Hypervolt Vibration massager, I was excited to try it out to help alleviate my sore muscles. My friend who frequently visits a chiropractor informed me that they use a similar device for her visits. After a week of using it, I was not disappointed.
The Hypervolt is very easy to setup and use. I attached the rechargeable battery to the unit, which came fully charged. Choose the appropriate head and put it on the massager. Note that while pushing the head inside the device, make sure to turn it 1/4 of the way to insert it all the way inside. To change heads, simple pull and turn 1/4 of the way the attached head and insert another head. The only head that does not require turning while pushing is the fork. It includes four different attachment/tips, and each is designed to massage the muscles differently.
The flat head attachment is my favorite, and I use it on my denser muscles like the quad and pecks. The softest accessory is the ball head. The bullet head is suitable for any tissue because of it used for trigger points or target a specific area. The fork head attachment is like having two bullet heads side by side, and it is also good for any muscle. The more you use the messaging device, the more you will know your body, and you will figure out what is most effective, what speed and which head to use for each muscle.
The control button adjusts the intensity of the message into three variable speed levels. The first level is not highly aggressive, which is good for beginners, smaller muscles or upper body muscles. For the denser muscles like the legs or calf, the second level is more appropriate. The third level is more aggressive which is good for the more bigger muscles (glutes, hips, quads) or to do the most massaging. For the first timers, I recommend beginners to start at the lowest speed level and don't apply a lot of pressure. After you get used to the massager, start adding more pressure and going at a higher as needed, without overdoing it.
This massager feels like a premium device, and it is powerful enough without generating a lot of noise. Fully charged, the battery lasts a long time. The carton box is sturdy, and it has a magnetized lid that easily opens and closes. The device will outlive box, and I recommend the manufacturer that future products to include a carry-on case or bag. Overall, I am highly satisfied with the Hypervolt, and I use it often You will glad to have one of this after a long work day or after an intense workout.

Works great for outdoor tracking
on December 6, 2018
Posted by: SimpleLiving
from Tampa, FL
I am a young parent and a techie person. When my three kids leave the house alone for long trips, I sometimes feel unease not being close to them. After doing some research at all the types of trackers, I found that the Samsung tracker works best for my needs. Other trackers rely only on Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, but the SmartThings Tracker includes these plus LTE/GPS (cellular) for tracking outdoors. The package comes with an initial one year service, and once that expires, there is the option of two types of plans: $5 per month or $50 per year. Currently, cellular tracking only works with US network(s).
This tracker works pretty well and very easy to manage. To start, must have/create a Samsung account and install the SmartThings app. After fully charging the tracking device, turn on the tracker and the app will prompt you to connect the tracker. The app will guide you with onscreen instructions.
When indoor, I think the tracker uses the Wi-Fi location method to conserve battery. SmartThing Hub is not necessary to use the tracker, but if you do have one, it allows more features. Tracking is not in real-time (continuously). To track the device, press the track button on the app. There is also a travel path button, which shows the updated travel paths in different points in time. Automatic location updates can be set up in the main menu; this will pin the device's location at set intervals. The tracker device can also send its position by simply pressing twice the power button on the tracker. The menu also has the option for geofence location, such as sending an alert when leaving or entering a place. This is good if you want an alert when someone leaves or arrives at a specific location. With the SmartThings Hub, the tracker works as an arrival sensor for which it can be used for automation when coming or leaving a specified place. The tracker as a sensor would control a device such as turning the light on when entering a building or other location.

My family is a fan of Chromebooks because they turn on fast and they rarely have glitches. This Premium 2-in-1 Dell Inspiron Chromebook has quickly become a favorite device as it is small enough to take on-the-go and it can be turned into a tablet. The gray metal design makes this laptop appear nice, sleek, and it feels solid. The active pen that comes with this Chromebook is simple to use, and it has its storage compartment under keyboard which makes it easy to keep the pen in one place. Furthermore, the battery life lasts a long time, which is what makes this device suitable for travel. The size of the keypad is big enough to allow movement of the pointer, and it is not bothersome as the texture is smooth. I like that the keys don’t feel cramped which makes typing comfortable. The best feature is the Full HD touchscreen; it is bright and with fantastic resolution. The speakers are along the bottom edges of the laptop, hidden, but it still does sound great. The sound is clear, efficient and quality are great. The thing that makes this 2-in-1 Chromebook the function is the ability to switch between a keyboard laptop into a tablet quickly. This laptop functions without a cooling fan thanks to its fast 8th generation Intel core processor. It does not overheat even after using it for a prolonged time. It weighs a bit more compared to the other Chromebooks, but it is still acceptable for mobility. This Dell 2-in-1 design sets it apart from other laptops. It is a premium Chromebook that I enjoy using.

Nowadays a lot of smartphones come with high-end cameras that produce excellent quality images. The only issue of using mobile devices is the ability to capture good quality audio. For video production purposes, you want to capture a clear representation of people speaking and separate them from the distracting background noise. A solution to capturing high-quality audio is the Go Mic Mobile from Samson.
With this kit, everything is included to start a pro-level production studio. It consists of all connection cables: the iPhone lighting, micro USB, USB-C type, audio Aux, charger, a Receiver, a microphone, and a carrying case. The set up is fast and easy. First, clip the receiver to a mobile phone and connect the receiver to a smartphone using the appropriate cable (my phone uses the USB-C). After that, attach the lavalier to the transmitter. Lastly, after turning on the receiver, push the power button on both the receiver and the transmitter to pair.
My daughter is in high school, and she uses the Go Mic Mobile for her journalism assignments. The receiver works with two channels. I will purchase the Samson wireless handheld microphone for when my daughter needs to do an interview. Thanks to Samson Go Mic Mobile, now she great pro-quality video without the bulky and expensive equipment. It is effortless to use, mobile (grab and go system), and pro-level quality production. My daughter loves it. I use it for my online videos, and I am satisfied with all my videos. Now I do less post-production since there is no need for video and audio syncing, the device allows recording of the audio into the video. It doesn't pick up all the background noise compared to using just the smartphone. It is an excellent product for travelers, bloggers, journalist or anyone who wants to record pro-level quality videos.

Make a smart solution to upgrade your home security to IndoorCam Mini. Never second-guess what you see in clear 2K resolution, and give yourself control with pan and tilt functions to monitor your home’s most vital areas. IndoorCam Mini features On-Device AI Human Detection, a technology that identifies humans in the frame and only sends you the notifications that matter. After returning home, you can turn on Home Privacy Mode, which turns off the camera and rotates it to your preferred privacy angle. Best of all, there’s no monthly fee after your purchase.
Can this camera do motion tracking for People ONLY? And stay still for everything else? Or will it track every movement. I'd rather have it track people only instead of cars driving by etc.
The eufy - IndoorCam Mini is not designed for outdoor video recording, it is not weather resistant. It does record every movement.

Can this indoor camera be set up in a window to record outdoor activity? I can’t use a doorbell camera due to a porch pillar blocking the view of the mailbox. I am looking for something to capture both the mailbox and the porch steps.
Yes, it could work on a window, but make sure the night vision feature is turned off in the setting. Night camera emits infrared light to capture images in the dark. If infrared is emitted in front of a window, it will be reflected to the camera and distort the image. Just turn off the night vision.

Does anyone know what size of AC adapter this comes with? I know the higher models come with a 240W but that would kind of be overkill for this one
AC Adapter Model A20-180P1A
Input: 100-240V~50-60Hz 2.5A
Output: 20.0V---9.0A 180.0W
See image and I hope this helps.

Would the battery life in this last me throughout a typical 6-7 hour school day?
It has a long battery life and it has the feature to use a power bank. One of the USB-C ports is Type-C PD, power delivery, which will allow you to use and charge the laptop with a power bank. Very versatile power options: (1) original power input port, (2) Type-C port simultaneously or (3) individually. Using simultaneously the power port and Type-C port, the laptop can be used and at the same time it is charged fast.

Hello I am planning on moving overseas in a few months (South Korea) Is this product covered by international warranty? If not, is there a way to purchase the premium care for notebooks that provides international services?
According to the warranty card (ASUS Warranty Card e14568 v4), "This Warranty applies in the county or purchase". On page 7 of the warranty card, #4 ASUS DOES NOT perform warranty service outside the county where you bought the Notebook.
There is an additional step needed to enjoy comprehensive internation warranty service. Must visit ASUS Service Center website for detailed locations.

Is this anti reflective matt screen or glossy ? good for outdoor use ? Screen nits ?
It is an anti-reflective matte screen, not glossy at all. The screen is not reflective at all, so I think it would work for outdoor use.

It says in the specs that there is no Front-Facing Camera when I believe they added it in these models. So, does it have the webcam?
Yes it does. The ASUS - ROG 16" WUXGA 144Hz Gaming Laptop does have a Front-Facing Camera. The webcam image quality is good quality. See my attached image of the front facing camera.
