Good buffer for the price
on June 22, 2021
Posted by: RobWLINY2
from Levittown, NY
Selecting the Tweezerman Nail Buffer Block appealed to me as someone who only in the last few years started getting Manicures (maybe once every month or two). I've seen similar blocks used by the nail technicians, but never understood what purpose they served. I was very happy to see these appeared to be super easy to use, each precision buffer block has 4 numbered sides, first you use one side to file down the nails, the next side is for buffing them, the third side is for smoothing, and the last gives the nails a shine, My nails definitely had a shine (like glass) when I was done with all four steps, and looked better overall than before I used it. It's possible this might help me save money by having fewer manicures, and save me time. The one concern I had about quality, is i did see the edges start to separate from the block after a couple uses, but it did not break and at this price I am not concerned with how long they last.

Great for Outdoor Exercise, Quality Sound
on June 21, 2021
Posted by: RobWLINY2

Jaybird Vista 2 True Wireless Sport Headphones have a sound quality that you would expect at its price point, but have more features that you might not expect. While their Automatic Noise Cancellation (ANC) blocks out background noise effectively which is great indoors, SurroundSense interested me more. SurroundSense is not the same as just turning off ANC (that's a separate configurable option in the app), it leaves some noise blocked out, but with it, I hear approaching vehicles while out for a walk/run/bike (I took it on a 1 and a 2 mile walk to try them out). One thing to know about surround sense, though, is that higher volumes of music did make it harder to hear approaching vehicles, so keep the volume reasonable if you're concerned about safety. Vista 2's IP68 waterproof rating gives me confidence that I can get these wet (i.e. I walked through a sprinkler with these earlier and had no issues) without them failing. The MIL-STD 810G freeze, shock, and impact resistance means these should stand up to tough conditions and last long. I like these Jaybird Vista 2 buds, and if you have an active lifestyle, I think you will too.

Nice for the price
on June 11, 2021
Posted by: RobWLINY2
from Levittown, NY
The JCC HAA11T Marshmallow True Wireless Earbuds did fit into my ears very comfortably, and offered a "very nice" but not "great" sound quality. My recent prior true wireless earbud experience was with a model/brand that cost about 5 times more, and this definitely does not live up to the quality of that pair, but it's not bad for the price it is at. The initial pairing of the Bluetooth was easy - I took them off the charger, it powered on and announced it was in pairing mode, I paired on my device to them (it seemed to establish separate connections for each earbud), and - that's it, it worked right away. The memory foam does seem like it's more comfortable (and perhaps more durable) than some "rubber"-like earbuds I'm used to (one recent pair of another brand had the rubber tear on the earbuds). Combining that with the water resistance and I imagine this pair of earbuds will last a while. I noticed one thing that was a little different on these earbuds that I think I like -- There is no 'touch' interface on the earbuds, you physically need to 'click' a real button for them to perform an action (play/pause, voice assistant, volume, etc.). The problem I have with the 'touch sensitive' interfaces on other earbuds, is if I don't insert them just right, I've seen times where the touch area taps a part of my ear and (for example) pauses the audio. With these earbuds, it appears that won't be a difficulty. To be honest, if I were not receiving earbuds to evaluate, and I was looking to buy earbuds, either these or a pair like these (this price range) is likely where I would purchase, so yes, I can recommend these.

Pretty Amazing Gaming Laptop
on June 9, 2021
Posted by: RobWLINY2
from Levittown, NY
This Asus ROG Zephyrus M16 Gaming laptop seems like an incredible laptop to have for gaming. The sound is clear and crisp (not too loud, but I preferred this), and it sounded like surround sound when characters were talking in a game. The keyboard is backlit (RGB, changes colors, Fn+F4 toggles mode), and getting used to the keyboard seemed easy. The only thing the keyboard is missing that I've noticed so far is a print screen key (captures screen) but there are other ways of accomplishing that. For easy and secure sign in there is a fingerprint sensor, if you can't find it, it's the power button, just tap the finger on it rather than pressing it in. The laptop is also VERY fast, the whole system responds quickly.
I did not yet open this laptop up (i.e. to get inside of the cover), but I was so happy to see it appeared to be open-able with a philips head screwdriver. This will be useful when I'm ready to do upgrades, such as If I need to expand memory or the storage. I will note other brand laptops I've owned recently don't let you open the laptop without special tools.
There was one point where I had bluetooth issues (controller was disconnecting and headphones were cutting out) but a few minutes later it was working fine, so it was probably not a hardware problem -- most likely either it was a software issue or maybe wireless interference.
After I played about 10 minutes with the first game tested, I exited the game and when I closed the laptop lid, It was obvious that the system fan(s) had gone up to a higher speed, as evidenced from the fan volume. But during gameplay, it was not very noticeable. The game had very high quality, fast moving graphics, and a frame rate on average that was between 70 and 110 fps (it did go higher and lower at times). To give you an idea of what that means, I've read the human eye can see between 30 and 60 fps. Going much higher might not have any useful effect.
Another game I have that was a couple of years old played at WQHD resolution in 'Very High' (highest setting) and was "at least" 60fps when I checked it. There was one battle scene which I had been stuck at, but on this laptop I lasted much longer and got further in the game than I previously achieved. Basically, for me gameplay was 'easier' with this laptop. One small additional note, there were definitely more details in the game and menus that I did not even see on my Desktop which also had an Nvidia card from 2 years ago.
The best part is that I 'can' play games on this laptop, I used to have to go to the desktop (in an inconvenient location) if I wanted to play, which meant often I didn't bother before.
I have intentionally not mentioned the name of the games I have tested in order to avoid reviewing the games themselves. They were selected because they were more graphics intense games and I could see how well the system performed with them.
I tried taking this laptop outside, where the wireless connection is a bit weaker, but whereas my phone and older laptop had no issues connecting, this laptop seemed to be unable to acquire a network connection in my network configuration from outdoors. In the time I have to do this review, I cannot troubleshoot the issue much further than this, but suspect maybe a weaker antenna. The other possibility is I was unplugged from power and maybe a 'wireless power savings' somewhere was enabled, but I could not easily locate it. I won't hold it against this otherwise fun and beautiful high performance laptop (which I would recommend if you want a portable gaming system).

Great sound, looks nice
on May 27, 2021
Posted by: RobWLINY2
from Levittown, NY
The sound and look of this Anker Soundcore Rave Partycast are at least as good as the bigger brand name speakers which i was familiar with. At a loud volume, it sounds amazing (and wow, what bass), and even at a lower volume providing background music it is pleasant. The "light show" which seems to go with the music caught my eye and seemed fun to watch at times. The waterproof feature gives me confidence when taking it outside near the pool or when a storm is approaching.
The soundcore app gives control over the lights on the speaker and also has a light dj mode where one can manually control the lights and add some prerecorded sounds. It also allows customization of sound presets.

Attractive Light Therapy Lamp
on May 23, 2021
Posted by: RobWLINY2
from Levittown, NY
The Circadian Optics Lattis Light Therapy Lamp is a nicer looking lamp than the previous (other brand) full spectrum light I was using. It's got a touch control for power in the upper rear, and power connection also is on the back side of this device. If I was looking for something to criticize, I would say that you can sort of see the individual LED lights with gaps between them, but overall the light quality is still very good. Unfortunately, I received this product for review in the middle of May, where daylight hours are generally longer and I don't need a light therapy lamp. Products like this tend to show their true usefulness when the days get shorter (fall into winter, maybe early spring), I know from experience with an SAD diagnosis. The energy coming from the light seemed comparable to my other similar strength lamp. I want to say it helped me sleep better (warning, do not use these at night, they're ideal earlier in the day), but the reality is I was sleeping pretty good already. Same goes for energy, I had good energy while using this lamp, but I had it before I started using the lamp as well.

B&W PI5 true wire-free headphones are attractive, well-built, and they deliver a refined sound quality. Featuring Bluetooth 5.0 with Qualcomm aptX technology these earphones ensure reliable connectivity whether you are streaming from your smartphone, tablet or PC. Allows connection of up to two devices at the same time, however, only one device can be used to play or make a call at a time. Download the Bowers & Wilkins free headphone app, available for Apple and Android for further control of the sound and noise cancellation, right on your phone. The PI5 headphones feature the latest innovations in adaptive noise cancellation along with 4 built-in microphones that pick up ambient noise and cancel it with an equal, but opposite, audio signal and enhance the call quality. There are three levels of Adaptive Noise Cancellation – High, Low and Auto, that can be controlled either by the multi-functional button on the left earbud or via the app. Similarly, the touch-sensitive button on the right earbud allows you to enable voice assistance. The buttons also allows you to control playback and phone call functions with single (play/pause, answer call), double (skip forward, end call), or triple presses (skip backward). Another stand-out feature of these headphones is the intuitive detection sensors that put the earphones on standby or reconnect them depending upon whether they are removed or put back on. The PI5s come with a sturdy and attractive charging case for charging the earbuds when not in use. The case is equipped with two 350mAh rechargeable batteries. Each earbud has a rechargeable battery which provides up to 4 hours of wireless playback. Including the charging case, the PI5 can provide up to 12 hours of continuous playback.

Amazing Sound and Noise Cancellation
on May 14, 2021
Posted by: RobWLINY2
from Levittown, NY
The Bowers & Wilkins PI5 earbuds offer easy pairing on android, it auto downloads the app on pairing, which also introduces the touch controls.
Listening to master quality music on Tidal HiFi is incredible with these. I prefer a high volume settings, but it sounded good on lower volume too. Music and voice were crisp and bass is impressive.
Noise cancelling blocked almost all background noise. I missed the house phone ringing as a result, but still like the feature.
The voice quality on phone calls was very good, though perhaps due to the remote phone or voice connection, voice calls rarely sound as clear as music. The remote party reported that my voice was clear sounding on the call.
It is also usable for audiobooks and podcasts and was fine for that purpose. If i pulled off one earbud to talk to someone, the PI5 paused the audio, then resumed on reinsert.
For my ears, the default size (out of 3) fit and gave me the impression they will not fall out during exercise or other activities.
Overall, these seem to be the best sound quality true wireless earbuds i have tried thus far. I would easily recommend them.

Very nice wide curved display
on May 11, 2021
Posted by: RobWLINY2
from Levittown, NY
This Samsung Curved WQHD display arrived in perfect condition (no bad pixels or other damage). I tried it out over both HDMI and DisplayPort and both connections worked very well, though ultimately I settled on DisplayPort because that freed up an HDMI port for the second monitor. It came with a USB-C cable, so it's possible to connect a compatible device (like phone/tablet/etc) without buying a USB-C to HDMI adapter. Videos don't generally seem to play full-screen on this display (due to different aspect ratio), but content like games do play using the full display -- and for example I was able to observe some sky effects off the far side of the screen which wouldn't normally be visible on a standard display. I like the curved display, and I wasn't sure i would when i requested it. The color depth/contrast all look excellent, though from Samsung I tend to expect this level of quality. The stand is nicely designed, what was nice is it gives the option of either having the monitor high or low, and at a low level I could place a webcam on it and it was about the right height for videoconferencing -- where it also looked great when it was at a higher height for other uses. Overall, i really am happy with this monitor, and recommend it.

Powerful Blender - Makes Great Smoothies & More
on March 31, 2021
Posted by: RobWLINY2
from Levittown, NY
This Nutribullet blender seems immensely powerful (strong motor) and well-designed (and sturdy). In the pitcher, it took about half a minute to make frozen drinks (about 5 or 6 cups worth) and crushed five cups of ice perfectly in that time. When I made a smoothie in one of the single-serve cups, it took about 1 minute and tasted perfect. My body loved the smoothie, as I drank it, I had a not-very-common 'happy feeling' throughout my body as I drank it, probably because my body is not used to eating/drinking this healthy. The single-serve cups are well designed, with a lid that flips around the back. See the included book which had a page with a diagram on what order to add the ingredients to the cup.
The manual has safety instructions like never leave the blade piece on top of the blender (connected) when it is not covered by (for example) a screwed-on cup cover due to risk of laceration (I imagine it could be accidentally turned on in this position; unlike my previous blender which had a safety mechanism to prevent that).
Its touch control panel is amazingly easy to use, the descriptions of the preset programs make it simple to pick the right one. It also has speed controls and a pulse function.
I want to share that, despite its power, the Nutribullet seems very stable (it does not shake noticeably when it is running). Overall, the machine feels like a professional blender, and I feel comfortable recommending it.

Excellent Electric Razor
on March 26, 2021
Posted by: RobWLINY2
from Levittown, NY
The Philips Norelco Caretouch Electric Razor is thankfully similar in usage to every Norelco Razor I've had since middle school when I first started shaving in the 1980s. What's new since then is the product (at least new) looks and feels like a professional tool, this is the nicest looking razor I have personally owned. Even minute details like the 'fade-in/out' of the charging lights which make it feel like a product they designed well (it charged quick). Worth noting, it says on the back of the razor itself not to use it while plugged in (disadvantage is if it's not charged you must wait to use it). I used it to do an evening shave (after a morning non-electric shave) and when I emptied the hair compartment after cutting, there was a good amount of freshly cut hair, and my skin felt smoother. Because it's "wet & dry" that means I can use it in the shower which is great since it cuts better while wet. An advantage of an electric razor like this is it's less likely to cut your skin (no blood!). I find the pop-up trimmer on these tends to be good for, for example, trimming sideburns. It's a great razor and I recommend it.

Does this have a Display port? From the images it appears to. But from the specifications it does not list one.

Yes, but cable not included for that
