This product definitely has a Swedish vibe to it. Its packed in what appears to be a cotton bag before being placed inside the box. Nice touch.
It was not charged so it required about a 3 hour charge. It is charged with the included USB cable but there is no power brick which seems to be the norm these days. It turns red while charging. It also has a remote for some basic functions. There is an included battery in the remote plus an extra !
Pairing Bluetooth was fast and simple. I use it with my IPad and Android phone with no issues.
Now for the sound--its acceptable at any volume but don't expect thunderous bass. It serves as a background music device, and it performs that function very well. Its an enjoyable crisp sound.
Oh yeah its also a light. I have not come across something like this before but it makes great sense. Perfect for camping or sitting in your backyard at night with friends where you want some ambient light. That light can be White, Red, Green or Blue and a few shades of each. You can also change the brightness, all from the remote. You can also get a bit crazy and have it strobe through the colors or fade through them. I tend to use the White at medium intensity and that's fine. You can also play music without the light.
Using White at medium intensity and playing music through an iPad it lasted almost 9 hours.
This is basically a simple idea very well executed. I understand two can be configured to be stereo but I only have one.

Sennheiser’s new MOMENTUM True Wireless delivers exceptional sound quality with superior comfort and craftsmanship. Now you can enjoy Sennheiser’s outstanding stereo sound anywhere and all day, thanks to Active Noise Cancellation and an exceptional 7-hour battery life, which can be extended to up to 28 hours via the charging case.

A rich and balanced sound is what you would expect from Sennheiser and it is delivered across the many different types of music from Latin to American Standards to Symphonic that I enjoy.
At first I thought these would be clunky and feel heavy. I was completely wrong. You must use the "twist" as they are placed in your ears. I did not have to use any of the earpiece adapters included in the package. I have worn them for several hours and they are comfortable and stable.
Right out of the box they are charged and ready to pair. There is a small fold out leaflet giving you initial instructions. Following the instructions they paired easily with my Android phone and I had music playing without any issues at all. The same was true with pairing with my iPad. It was also nice to watch movies on the iPad with these buds. So much dialogue seems to be whispered these days.
The instructions pointed me to an APP to access some control configurations and update the buds. Be sure to pick the correct APP as some have similar names. The APP install was quick and the buds performed an update without issue. For some reason the APP required Location Access to perform the Bluetooth Low Energy Scan. This seemed odd but I allowed it. The APP is used to configure the core device settings. The equalizer is very basic and does not allow for individual frequency band adjustments and levels for those who want such granular control.
Some nice options are controlled by touching either the left or right bud. These are described in the APP. Phone calls will ring in gently and provided great audio in both directions on my calls. A feature I use often is transparent hearing to allow me to hear my surroundings without having to remove the buds. I can also use one tap on the bud to bring up my voice assistant which is a nice touch and has come in handy.
Of course the noise canceling works great. It is turned on/off with taps on the bud. I no longer have to listen to leaf blowers and lawn mowers when sitting outside on my patio reading a book. Noise levels in suburbia are getting louder and louder. I suspect they will work great on airplanes as well.
Be aware that no charging power supply is included, only a short USB-C cable is provided but who doesn't have many of these lying around. The hard shell storage/charging case is well done and holds the buds in magnetically and has a battery charge indicator.
I look forward to enjoying these buds for years to come.

The pairing was very quick using the included USB receiver and the OPTION software package.
I am enjoying using this mouse. The motion is accurate on any surface. No need to use a mouse pad if you don't have one handy. It has a great hand feel and weight putting several options at your fingertips. One button is at your thumb rest, two buttons just above the rest, a scroll wheel above that, another scroll wheel ( with button ) on the top of the mouse using your finger and a button behind that. It sounds like a lot but when using the OPTIONS software package to configure them it all makes sense and makes life much easier. The various buttons and wheels can be configured for many different applications and their purpose changes depending what application you are using. I use it in my browser and spreadsheet work. Using the thumb scroll wheel to move left/right in a spreadsheet is a great time saver and opening new tabs in a browser using a configured button is quick. I'm sure I'll find more tweeks as I use it more and more every day.
One of the more amazing features of the mouse is the use of Logitech FLOW. This allows you to move the mouse pointer BETWEEN computers. All you have to do is run the pointer off the edge of computer 1 and it will flow to computer 2. This works even if one is Windows and the other MAC. When using along with a Logitech MX Keys wireless keyboard with FLOW, the keyboard will also switch between computers. This is very handy for me as I normally use a laptop and PC together.I can even cut/paste and move files between computers with the aforementioned keyboard.
There are three buttons on the bottom of the mouse to allow you to pair with three devices and switch them manually if you are not using FLOW.
USB-C recharging so no batteries required.
I am using this mouse with the Logitech MX Keys keyboard and my work flow has definitely improved. It's a great combination.

The installation on my desktop completed without any issues in about 20 minutes. Once finished it prompted me to start a full scan of my PC.
It took some time to scan for advanced threats and it found one issue related to sensitive documents being visible. One click of the RESOLVE button had it fixed. It doesn't get any easier than that!

It then told me my location was exposed but in order to resolve that a paid subscription would be required as I guess this is outside the scope of this product.
I am now protected from a virus, risky web sites, bad email attachments, hacker attacks, and ransomware attacks. For the casual user that's all you have to know but for the advanced user there are many advanced settings to tweak the program to better suit your particular needs, especially in the area of the firewall. There is even a firewall log to see who may be attempting to get into your computer.
There is a file shredder included to really delete sensitive documents and files. That's a nice addition.
For the more casual user there is a web browser included that offers default protection from many of the bad elements one can encounter when surfing the internet.
I also installed the package on my laptop. It took 15 minutes start to finish which included the post install scan and that is not a fast laptop.
I have not noticed any slowdown loading pages when surfing.
Now that it has been installed for a few days I am getting a NAG SCREEN to sell me the VPN to further protect me. I’m not a fan of being hounded for an up-sell
This is a necessary addition to any computer. You install it and hope never to have to use it but its good to know it is there.

The packaging of this keyboard is sleek and initial setup instructions are right there on the inside cover of the packaging. No book to have read through to get started.
My keyboard came already charged so I could jump right in and start the pairing. The keyboard has a nice weight to it so it doesn't move around when typing and the keys are backlit nicely and have a great feel. The keys illuminate as soon as your hands cone close to the keyboard. The forward slope is fixed, there are no flimsy tabs to break. Charging is done via a USB-C connector.
You are instructed to go to a Logitech website to complete the pairing and personal settings. Here you will download the OPTIONS program ( Windows or MAC ) so you can tailor your keyboard just how you like it. You can create different configurations based on what program you are using. You can create an account to save your configuration in the cloud. A feature tour is also located here. This is very well done.
The keyboard can be used with three devices. There are Easy-Switch keys on the keyboard to choose which device you want to use. Its quick and simple. However this MX Keys keyboard and MX Master 3 mouse hold an amazing feature called FLOW. I have a PC and Laptop that are setup to use this keyboard and the MX Master 3 mouse. After installing a small program on each device FLOW allows you to seamlessly switch between devices. Just move the mouse pointer off the edge of the screen on the PC and the mouse and keyboard are now controlling the Laptop. Move the pointer off the Laptop screen and they are both back on the PC. You can even cut/paste and move files between the devices. This is really amazing.
Originally I used the native Bluetooth on my PC to pair. I had an issue of waking up the PC from sleep mode. I know that Bluetooth was always on even when in sleep but it just would not wake up the PC. I then switched over to using the included USB receiver dongle provided with the keyboard and the problem was solved. It took just minutes to reconfigure to use this dongle using the OPTIONS program.
I also have an IPAD and with the latest IOS. This keyboard paired with the IPAD via Bluetooth without issue.

I have a Golden Retriever so hair is all over the house. I did a top to bottom cleanup with this vacuum. Results were mostly favorable but there were a few drawbacks.
First the good:
It just will not clog with lots of hair. The cleaning head really looks to be self cleaning and the suction is strong enough to make sure the hoses don't clog. It is very powerful and you will get a deep clean of carpets.

Cleaning the dust canister is easy since it opens at the top and bottom. No reaching in to empty both sections.
All hoses click into place securely.
You have the choice of using attachments on just the shorter handle or using the extended wand. There is also a suction control which comes in handy since the suction is so powerful.
Now the not so good:
Its a bit heavy on deeper pile carpets but the articulating head does help.

When using the hand wand the base unit tends to fall over easily.
The optional brush on the end of the crevice tool does not stay in place. It is supposed to click in place but it tends to fall leaving the crevice tool exposed to possible scratch surfaces.
There is no light on the cleaning head.
There is no automatic AC cord rewind
There are three included attachments but only room to store two.

As noted this is a analog device. Temp and timer are manual--no fancy digital electronics to fail or confuse users. I would have liked a louder bell to indicate the timer is finished. There is a blue light on top that is on when the unit is plugged in and the basket is properly inserted. A red light comes on when its cooking. Nice and simple.
The basket measures 7.5 inches wide and 2.5 inched deep. This is good for two side servings of lets say fried broccoli or cauliflower or two-three chicken breasts..
I have also used the unit to re-heat Chinese take out spare ribs which it does in about 8 minutes at 375 degrees.
Be sure to check the food often as it cooks faster than you think it will, if you dont check it you will have burnt food.
This unit looks to be good for a 2 person household or a dorm room.

I researched for what seemed forever before making a decision. Replacing a Sony Bravia from 10 years ago which is still running just fine. The picture is astounding when streaming 4k uhd from YouTube. Upconvering is also done very well. Sometimes the apps are slow but nothing that's so horrible.
Tv just completed an update which went well and provided a few new improvements.
Only drawback is that I can't seem to get HDMI ARC to work when using apps. Apps audio is presented via the fiber output from the TV.

All in all I'm happy and got the price match when the price came down a week or so after purchase. BB is great!

Just enough "ink" to print the package of paper.

About 38 cents a photo--not bad for the convenience it offers especially at parties and such.

The issue is with a PC running Win 10. Cannon claims no special driver is necessary. That is not entirely true. Although WIN 10 sees the printer it indicates the driver is missing and you cant print to it. I open a ticket with Cannon and that was not very helpful. Google to the rescue and I download an package that gets it to work however the PC MUST be on WIFI. If the PC is connected to the WIFI Router via Ethernet cable you will not see the printer. Once connected to a PC that connects via WIFI it works well. My WIFI Cannon MX printer has no such limitation.
I feel Cannon has not lived up to its reputation with the lousy support and documentation for this product.
If you are computer savvy you will get it to work - eventually
Printing from an SD card is fast and easy.
Printing via Apple Air Print works great
Picture quality is good.

Battery is not included and costs almost as much as the printer ! Really Cannon ???
