High Quality Sound, 2-Devices Connected at Once
on August 9, 2022
Posted by: RobWLINY2
The JBuds Air Pro are my 7th (8th if you count the replacement I purchased) JLab brand earbuds I've tried, and I've been mostly happy with the quality of every single one of them. The sound is so pleasant to the ears - I'd consider it a high-quality sound, and the earbuds fit very comfortably in the ears (and seem to hold). Their earbud charging design where the USB plug is built into the case is still one of my favorites (even if I have 2 laptops without that kind of port available). These earbuds do not advertise any kind of noise cancelling (not that I have a need for that regularly), though they do have a "be aware" mode which lets you hear more outside sound. I tried out the Bluetooth multipoint and connected to phone and laptop, what was nice was the coordination between them it provided such that the music on my phone paused when I pressed play on a video on the laptop. I did a quick microphone check using Zoom and it sounded clear.
Pros:
-High Quality Sounds
-Equalizer Presets can be changed by tapping
-Pass Thru Mode
-2 Devices can be connected at the same time.
-Charging cable built in

Powerful, Fast, Fun, Quiet, Cool DELL XPS Laptop
on July 21, 2022
Posted by: RobWLINY2
This DELL XPS stands out from other PCs with similar specs in terms of quality in several key areas. For one, the feel of the keyboard keys is nice, and the touchpad feels solid as well. I adapted to using this keyboard very quickly, and I like that it has a 'print screen' key which an earlier system I owned lacked (though, I learned Shift+Win+S is a workaround for screenshots). The fingerprint-reader/power-button on the keyboard is well placed (like my apple laptop) and works well to make sign-in quick and easy. The keyboard is also backlit, which one will appreciate when typing in the dark.
Next, the choice of resolution (one step up from FHD) seems ideal for this size screen given how Windows usually does a poor job of "scaling down" higher resolutions (frequently losing the benefits of the higher resolution, from observation). This display looks better than my WQHD screen included on another 15" laptop. The display itself is very bright (usable in daylight, I'm outdoors now preparing this review) and the colors look good. The Nvidia graphics chipset included, while not necessarily top of the line, will enhance one's ability to play games on this PC. As a quick example, I looked at the 2018 "Forza Horizon 4" which Microsoft's Xbox app says, "Should play great on this PC," and it did play quite well when I tried it (on battery power, and outdoors, no less).
The speakers on this DELL sound superior to any other laptop (Windows or MacOS) I've tried so far, they're placed so when you're sitting in front of the computer the speakers play sounds on both sides of your ears. I am more likely to listen to music or enjoy games more without headphones because of the quality.
Battery life is good, and at two diverse levels of usage, after about 20 minutes I went through 4% and 7% battery. Four percent for 20 minutes would be five hundred minutes at 100%. Seven percent for 20 minutes is around 285 minutes for 100%. As may be obvious, depending on usage battery life will drastically vary.
Surprisingly, the WIFI 6 (AX) performance seems far superior to my other PC's Wi-Fi 6 support. Right now, among other things, I’m downloading games to test with the Xbox app, and on that download, I am getting rates averaging over 11MB/s, which is 88Mbit/s - and our whole home (40+ devices connected) shares 100Mbit/s connection, so it's coming close to full available speed.
I love that, unlike my earlier Samsung laptop, this laptop comes with visible screws on the bottom to access internals like the SSD drive (which is reported to be upgradable) and/or memory. If you're going to download many games or store videos on it, it is possible you'll want to upgrade the storage space. If you're not comfortable making the upgrade yourself, I have personal experience letting Geek Squad perform that kind of upgrade at reasonable cost.
If I had to point out one thing that I believe may be a design flaw, it's that there is no obvious place to grip to open the laptop lid, so thus far I find myself struggling a little bit to open the laptop each time. Gripping on the sides, I'm getting a little better at it, though.
The laptop fans seem quiet (notably, compared to my Asus gaming laptop), I haven't really heard them at all --- but at the same time the laptop runs very cool, I don't find myself burning my legs when the laptop is placed on my lap. When I was trying out a game and played for 30 minutes, the laptop did get warmer, but it was still tolerable on my bare legs (wearing shorts).
Other than the laptop lid, I have to say this is an otherwise perfect PC laptop-- it's got impressive performance and graphics, it's got good starter storage space (upgradable), the fingerprint reader, backlit keys, fast and reliable Wi-Fi, and has Windows 11. I would recommend this one if it's in your price range and you need a PC laptop.

Portable Speaker with Quality you expect from SONY
on July 13, 2022
Posted by: RobWLINY2
Sony's new SRS-XG300 Portable BLUETOOTH speaker was everything I expected and more. I've owned a few SONY portable speakers, and they all have excellent sound quality- but this one sounded even better. The speaker filled a good-sized room (200-300? square feet) with loud, clear, and deep bass sound. (By clear, I mean at maximum volume I noticed no distortion in the sound). Every song I played sounded decent on this speaker, whereas some other speakers I've tried only sound good with certain types of sound.
The speaker is a little on the heavier side, but it's not inconvenient to carry and you won't typically hold onto it while listening. Its carry handle almost made me want to take it on one of my exercise walks around town, but then I had second thoughts when I realized not all the neighbors would appreciate the sound coming from it.
The Waterproof/Dustproof thing should help extend the life of your speaker, I wouldn't have any reason to throw it in a pool for example, but I could see myself using it (Or accidentally leaving it) out in the rain. I could imagine if you had a pool deck, the speaker could fall in the water, and this speaker would have a better chance of surviving that.
I've seen a lot of speakers (SONY and Other Brands) now have color changing lights that try to move with the music, these ones aren't so "in your face" like some other speakers. These lights are off on the far edges and looking at the speaker head-on you don't see them. They look best in a dark room or at night. The SONY Music Center app allows some control over the lighting settings.
Reading some of the included documentation, I noticed this is one of the first portable speakers like this that I've seen including a microphone for making calls. I did try it and it worked well, though I wasn't sure it sounded as clear as (for example) a Bluetooth headset with dedicated mic. But the fact that you could take calls is a big plus. I can see myself using this feature, notably when calls come in while I'm listening to music outdoors.
The Battery life of 25 hours is terrific, I'll never use that in one sitting, however the idea that I can usually not have to worry about whether I charged it recently is a plus. An even bigger plus is 10 minutes of charge gets about 70 minutes of usage (I'm certain volume level for example might affect actual battery life). Even better, if the battery is low, it seems to function while plugged in (and USB-C Chargers are easy to find) - though not closing off the charging ports may affect water resistance. The USB-A port on the back will let me keep my phone (which may be powering the music) charged and near the speaker for as long as the speaker has power.

Comfortable, Quality Sound, with detachable Ear
on July 12, 2022
Posted by: RobWLINY2
The BlueParrot S650-XT 2-in1 convertible wireless headset felt comfortable and sounded excellent. I didn't want to take them off even when not listening to music because of the comfort, I cannot say that of any 'earbud' type headphones I've tried. Phone calls (with Samsung S22 Ultra) were clear and did not disconnect, the other party said my microphone sounded good as well. Music sounded better with both earpieces connected but worked fine with just one earpiece connected for situations where you need to keep one ear clear to hear surroundings. Music sounded comparable to other headphones (incl. earbuds) at this price point, you're getting a decent quality sound. ANC worked well, one button toggled it on/off (or turned on passthrough). It took me a minute to learn that the skip button on the rear of the headphones was skipping forward, while the one in the front was skipping backwards. It has a programmable BlueParrot button, but that seems ideal if you work with a push to talk service. A note in my headset box said that the firmware on my device was updated, but as soon as I installed them, I opened the BlueParrot App to discover there was yet another firmware update ready to be installed (the installation took about ten minutes) - It is almost always a good idea to install the latest update, particularly if you want to avoid problems which have been corrected in the updates.

I was incredibly happy with how the Adidas Z.N.E. 01 earbuds seemed to fit and stay in – the shape of these seems well designed, at least for my ears. Too many of the “true wireless” earbuds from other popular brands I’ve tried do not hold as well and ultimately at least one falls out and gets lost.
With music, if the earbuds were inserted properly (it took a little adjusting with music playing), these earbuds had a sound that felt almost three dimensional in my ear (the sound moved within the ear).
I tested the Microphone with Zoom, and these did a much better job than my earlier pair (different brand) on catching the whole sound (some wireless earbuds I’ve used seem to detect sound before transmitting and miss the beginning of the sound).
From what I can tell, there’s no way to control volume from the earbuds, but I prefer a simpler touch control like these have (play/pause, skip, answer/hang-up), and I am good controlling volume from the phone.
As per the charge rate, mine came with less than 10% charge, and in 15-20 minutes it was up over 80% charge per earbud. If you’re interested, it might’ve taken closer to an hour for the charging case to go from 10% to 100% charge (where the light turned green), but the charging case can recharge the earbuds, so you expect it to have a bigger battery to charge. The earbud charge time is excellent for when I want to go out for a walk and don’t have to wait too long for them to be usable. The charger is USB-C, and I’m grateful that this has become more standard on devices such as this.
Pairing with the phone using NFC (tap to pair) didn’t work for me, the phone detected the NFC signal, but it failed to connect. The press-button Bluetooth pairing worked easy enough, however.
These earbuds also look nice when worn, they have a little texture.

Good sleep is a critical part of a healthy lifestyle contributing to enhanced mood and well-being. In the winter months getting out of bed can be particularly difficult. For those who find waking up refreshed and ready to go challenging we have your solution; the WL75 Wake-Up light. Gone are the days of endlessly hitting the snooze button because you are not able to get out of bed. The WL75 Wake-Up light also serves as a mood light, reading lamp, and music station.

The Beurer wake up light features a clock radio/alarm with multiple sound options and light that changes color and intensity (either static color or changing). Power and control can be done with the light by holding in the power button for some number of seconds, however I noticed once I paired the app the power button stopped working and it would only work from the app. The app is the easiest way to control and customize the app (timers, colors, brightness, scenes, alarms, radio/presets). The 'mood lighting' settings, as I played with them, did seem to affect how I was feeling, so may prove useful. The radio picks up a number of local/regional stations well and sounds as clear or clearer compare to any other clock radio. Without eyeglasses for me, it can be difficult to read the clock (yes, I don't sleep with my glasses on), so consider that may be a factor for some (a larger, more contrast clock would help with that). While I may not use it every day, I do think this is a good product and recommend it.

I tried out a couple of the attachment head pieces, the feeling was akin to sitting in an electronic massage chair, except better because you control where to place the massage head rather than a mindless machine moving past areas that need attention. After using it, body is looser and i had a big smile from the good feelings it gave me.

Cleaning Light, Color Changing
on October 28, 2021
Posted by: RobWLINY2
from Levittown, NY
When I installed this light and the associated android app from the Google Play store, I was delighted to see that it offered not just color selection, it also offered 'Themes' which picked a color matching said theme (tapping multiple times resulted in other colors in that theme being selected)-- and each color seemed to set a feel for the 'mood temperature' in the room.
After I tinkered with the color selection, I proceeded to run a two hour 'cleaning'. I want to tell you 'the room feels better' (I mean the mood is better, almost like after filtering allergens in an air filter), however I do not have tools that can measure the true level of cleanliness.

Impressive Steamer and Air Fryer
on October 26, 2021
Posted by: RobWLINY2
from Levittown, NY
I've only tried it about 4 times before being asked to hurry up the do the review (I received one to try in exchange for a review). One time we made Rice and it came out far superior to when it was cooked in a standard rice cooker, the flavor and aroma were superb. Then we air fried three separate types of french fries, and every time very crispy and full of flavor, when compared to cooking them in the oven where often they are kinda mushy and bland. We'll be using it for more than this, i'm certain. If I had one complaint, it is the mass (or weight if you prefer) of this device is a bit heavy and carrying it to and from our storage location is a bit like lifting a heavier weight at the gym. But given what it does, I understand why.
