If you love bass, then the Crusher 360 is the perfect headphones. It is a limited edition, and that means you get a premium product. One major factor to consider in a headphone is how well it fits in your head, and it's comfortability. The Crusher 360 meets these requirements. The ear cups are incredibly soft plush; the outside layers are of a smooth material, and the inside has memory foam. The bottom of the headband has the same memory foam material as the ear cups. The clamping pressure is just right on the spot, not strong nor lose. Each ear cup swivels horizontally allowing for a better fit. The Crusher 360 is extremely comfortable, and I enjoy using them even after prolonged use.
Another factor and very important to consider in a headphone is the sound quality. When I first use this headphone, I was blown away from how good the bass sounds. The bass is perfectly amplified, and it feels like a premium subwoofer. I enjoy using it to listen to music and watch movies. Its multi-sensory audio experience makes it feel like you are in a theatre. With this sound quality, I am pretty sure that these headphones do enhance a gaming experience. If I need to adjust the bass level, I smoothly run my fingers up or down on the left ear cups.
The other features are all-day battery life (29hrs), rapid charge, the frame is made of metal, the ear cups wires are hidden, and it has backup aux (for wire listening). The package includes a premium hard protective case, a charging wire, and aux cable. Overall, I am delighted with the Crusher 360, the sound quality is excellent, it fits comfortably, and I enjoy using it.

Great home audio system
on November 14, 2018
Posted by: SimpleLiving
from Tampa, FL
My entire family loves this new sound system. It gets used a lot by my teens to host group events from church and school. The system is big, and unpacking requires following the box instruction to avoid any accident. It came well packaged and in include a few accessories (FM radio antenna, remote control with its batteries). The system does not include a microphone. My first use of the system was with my smartphone connected via Bluetooth. I listened to a ton of music, and I enjoyed the sound quality. With the Mega Blass enabled the sound system produces heavy bass that would be very useful for group listening.
My teens enjoy using the lights and the Karaoke option. They have so much fun using the Gesture Controls while they sing. The system has two 3.5mm microphone jacks, one of these jacks is also a guitar amp (haven't tried it).
My son and I have lots of fun playing the Taiko game. The game is simple, while the system plays a piece of music you tap the top panel according to the lighting guide pattern that appears on the surrounding of the gesture control sensor. The system scores based on the correct taps. So far, my son has the top score. The Taiko mode can be used to play different types of drums while listening to music.
The system plays audio CD, CD-R/RW, MP3 files on disk. It also plays some types of audio files on a USB device. For larger or multi-rooms events, the system has on the rear panel terminals to connect it to other speakers. The bottom wheels make for easy transport over smooth hard surfaces.
Overall, my family and I are satisfied with this home audio system. The sound quality is good, and the max volume is loud enough for most home events. This device will provide hours of entertainment.

Great photo & video editing software
on November 9, 2018
Posted by: SimpleLiving
from Tampa, FL
I am very excited about this software! Editing photos and videos are a hobby of mine and this program provides an opportunity for me to practice and expand my skills. For anyone with a creative mind, this software will be like a playground. The download was quick and it runs efficiently. Moreover, it is suitable for various purposes - for professional work or for fun - providing different tools and methods correspondingly. Since I am no expert and have a lot to learn, I will be spending most of my time in the “Guided” segment, which includes the basics of editing, black & white, special edits, fun edits, color, and photomerge. There is also the option for “Quick” and “Expert.” This software also contains an organizer to keep the “Workplace” neat and simple to use. Furthermore, with Premiere Elements, you can also edit videos. The program also forms “auto-creations” with pictures you import that you can edit and share. Again, I am very excited to create, enhance, and share my pictures and videos using this resourceful program.

These headphones are matchless! Evidently, they were designed for sports use as they come with very convenient features. For instance, you can turn the volume up/down, activate Siri or “Ok Google,” play/pause, and play following and previous tracks using only three different buttons located in one side of the device. Moreover, first-time setup is fairly simple, with only three steps and taking about ten seconds to complete; the instructions are clear and effective. The headphones also come with tension bands, a travel case, and removable ear pads for washing. I do recommend washing it before using. The headphones are also sweatproof. You can charge the headphones by connecting it to another device or plugging it to the wall. Light indicators are used to signal different actions such as Bluetooth pairing and charging. Overall, I am very pleased with this product!

Great subscription to work more efficient
on October 18, 2018
Posted by: SimpleLiving
from Tampa, FL
This Microsoft Office 365 subscription is a great deal because it comes loaded with many features. An added benefit is that the membership is shareable with up to five users. I share my membership with children who do virtual school. Office 365 is essential for them to work most efficiently. Even when traveling, they can satisfactorily complete all their assignment. The subscription allows the user the ability to use the latest downloadable version of Office. When on the move or not working on your computer, the cloud/online version of Office is available on any device. For optimal usage of Office 365, I highly recommend to backup/sync all of your Office files and documents into OneDrive. You will work more efficiently and flawlessly especially if you work at different locations or devices. I use Excel a lot for school and accounting work. The online version of Excel works perfectly without any issue. When needing switching from the online version to the installed version of Office apps, OneDrive makes it very easy. The membership also includes Skype bonus features, Outlook and online Help Support which are also great services. To conclude, Office 365 subscription is essential to work more efficient at home, work or school. Highly recommended!

Get work done or play games on this 24-inch Dell monitor. Its 1920 x 1080 resolution delivers a crisp display for images and text, and its wide viewing angle provides a clear picture whether sitting or standing. This Dell monitor has HDMI connectivity for use with gaming consoles or PCs.

I use my small laptop a lot when I work outside my office, but when I am working at home or office, I prefer to work on a larger screen monitor. Using the included HDMI cable, I easily connect my laptop to this Dell IPS LED monitor and it works perfectly to extend my screen viewing. The setup was quick and easy; assemble the base and then attach the monitor. No tools were necessary. The monitor tilts slightly up and down backward to accommodate for best viewing angle. At my office, I use two screens, and they are set up at an angle, and this Dell monitor works perfectly. Its IPS feature allows consistent colors at any viewing angle, but only up to 178 degrees angle. The images are always clear with vibrant colors. With a refresh rate of 76Hz, the monitor it works great for office applications and most gaming. The monitor looks high tech with its silver metallic base and its e 3-sided micro-edge and ultraslim thickness. If need to secure the monitor to a desk or any large object, it has a lock port. This monitor is not a VESA mount compatible. I am satisfied with the image quality produced by this Dell monitor.

Best customization gaming mouse
on October 3, 2018
Posted by: SimpleLiving
from Tampa, FL
This Logitech G502 Hero mouse is one of my favorites, and it is the most comfortable to use. The optical sensor goes up to 1600 DPI mark. The sensor works in either white or black surface. The mouse comes with five modular weights (each is 3.6g) that can be dispersed inside to give the user more personalized weight and balance configuration. I found this great because I get more of a customized control. The sniper button works like a charm because it quickly adjusts the DPI to allow a more narrow in precision for shotting. The cable is thin braided to prevent any. On the sides of the mouse, there is rubber texture for enhanced grip. The mouse feels great, and my hand does not cramp up. It also comes with eleven programmable buttons for fully customizable control. The software allows to change the setting of the mouse such as the DPI or the color of the logo. The most important feature for any gaming device is that it is configurable to a player's specific needs. I enjoy using the G502 Hero mouse.

Best multi-layer defense
on October 2, 2018
Posted by: SimpleLiving
from Tampa, FL
I have had a few experiences with different internet security services. I am very impressed with Bitdefender Total Security 2019 subscription. The Bitdefender has one of the best protection features. One of the features that I like is the Vulnerability setting which reminds you to change passwords. So far, it has a done an excellent job with its antivirus, firewall, saves files which protect access to valuable documents, and anti-spam online threat prevention. The advanced threat defense features are one of the modules which are most of the interest because it is the behavioral blocking component. The ransomware remediation feature automatically restores if there are any encrypted files. All these modules make Bitdefender Total Security 2019 the best multi-layer defense for any computer. The included VPN makes this product a plus to have due to the recent repeal of the net neutrality regulation. The subscription allows installation for up to five devices. My laptop performs better, and I feel more secure when I go online. Overall, I am satisfied with my new total security software.

My kids love this new speaker. It has incredible sound with deep bass good for listening to any music. Very easy to connect to any Bluetooth. We did not encounter any issue. It is excellent that this speaker is waterproof since my teens will be using it a lot. I don’t plan to use this speaker near a pool, but sometimes it gets used in the bathroom where water or liquids may splash.
The speaker has a hard casing but with a coat of rubber-like material with will help in getting a firm grip on the device when transporting. The size and weight are perfect to carry around. The battery life is excellent and will last for hours before needing a recharge.
To conclude, my entire house loves this new speaker, and I would recommend it because of its excellent sound, this to any home.

Great DIY Home Security System
on September 18, 2018
Posted by: SimpleLiving
from Tampa, FL
This is an excellent DIY wireless all-in-one home security system. The best part about this system is that there is no long-term contract or monthly fees. With this method, you purchase the starter kit system, do the self-monitoring, and add additional easy to connect devices. The starter kit system contains the basics: the camera base station (hub), two access sensors for windows & doors, and a remote-control key fob.
The setup is straightforward and only took a few minutes. I just plugged the camera base station, download the app, follow the app instructions to complete the installation and connect the other sensors, cameras, and devices. All sensors are battery operated, so more struggles with wires or plugs. I had to create a Honeywell Home account to complete the setup. The app has a feature to invite additional users to the security system by just entering their email. The other users must also download the app and create a Honeywell Home account to gain access and manage the security system.
The hub is the crucial component and comes integrated with Amazon's Alexa and allows the system to be automated. Its wide-angle camera produces HD quality videos and records sounds. I was impressed that while viewing the camera video, I can zoom in and out. The apps allow two-way audio communication to your home. The hub has both a speaker and a mic, but I am not sure if the additional motion viewer cameras come with a speaker or mic. You can ask Alexa for weather, news, and other information but it does not play Amazon's music (not supported on this device).
The hub allows connection to other Honeywell smart products and third-party z-wave products so that you can connect a thermostat, leak sensor, lights, locks, garage openers and more. The hub lit up that can be seen from the outside, and it helps deter a break-in. The alarm is loud enough to scare away an intruder.
Overall, I am satisfied with this DIY smart home security system. It is simple to use, does an excellent job of protecting your home and is a good smart device to upgrade home. The best part of this self-monitoring system is that there is no long-term contracts or fees.

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.

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.
