Turtle Beach Stealth Pro is a superb gaming headset for Xbox or PC. Setup was very simple plug the wireless receiver into Xbox or PC, power on headset and off you go. The Companion Turtle Beach app on PC was great for customization of the headset. It did come with the most recent firmware which was always welcome.
I love that it comes with two batteries with easy hot swapping inside one of the earcups, the batteries last a long time as well. There is also an attachable mic for improved voice comms but if you prefer the headset also comes with a built in mic for casual chatting. I myself, prefer the detachable mic for crisp clear voice comms.
Overall very happy with the ease of us of this headset on Xbox and PC (not at the same time) and the ability to sync multiple bluetooth devices as well. The app will also let you customize what the side buttons do as well.
The only negatives I had is the boot up of the headset feels a tad slow and just when you think you are ready to go then you have the built in robot voice commenting on your battery life, which is configurable in the app.
I normally like alot of sidetone in my gaming headsets but I had to disable it with this because for some reason it sounds very un natural and robotic, not a deal breaker but noticeable.
Overall quite satisfied with the headset comfort and performance for the price tag, would recommend.

The Philips Norelco Shaver 7600 glides smoothly over your skin, while cutting each hair close - even on 3-day beards. Equipped with SenseIQ technology, the shaver senses, adapts and guides on the correct motion, for better skin protection.
Posted by: mibeal
I write this review as a man that does not have a big beard or a lot of facial hair in general so keep that in mind when making your choice. The shaver does a great a job for me. It doesn't feel like it's pulling or cutting my face at all. The sensor built into the front lets you know if you are doing a good job with the preferred circular motion of the shaver. The included flip up beard trimmer does a good job keeping things short and neat when needed.
Cleaning is simple just open the top, brush it out and get back to work. It is usable under water as well without clogging which is a nice feature.
The battery gives you an hour of shave time which doesn't sound like a lot but when you really think how long you shave daily it lasts a while. I was a little disappoined there's no power brick included, the charge cable is a standard usb-a cable. Hopefully in this day and age you have a wall plug lying around extra from a phone charger or something similiar.
Overall I'm quite satisfied with the shaver and it has earned it's spot as my daily go to, would recommend.

Soft shell clear case for Iphone 14 pro max
on November 9, 2022
Posted by: mibeal
Cases come in all shapes and sizes, colors, features. This one is pretty simple it's thick, clear and protects.
There is a little camera bump in the back to protect your lenses, as well as some additional camera protectors but I didn't use those. Installation was very simple snap on the around the edges of the phone and go to town.
The button covers feel good they aren't too hard to press or anything. I already had a screen protector installed and there was no interference there once I put the case on.
So far I do like how see through and shiny the case is with my silver back phone. I imagine over time might see some yellowing but only time will tell.
I feel safe dropping my phone in this case and that it is well protected. I've done a few simple "drop" tests nothing crazy but it's held up very nice no scratches or dings from it either which is important.
Overall very happy with it and it'll be easy to wipe down and clean occasionally as well being so clear with a little alcohol and lint free wipe. Would recommend if you like a clear no frills case.

The ability to charge your phone, watch, airpods and another wireless advice all at once. It's the invention I never knew I needed until I had it.
The packaging was a bit frustrating I basically had to rip it apart to get the thing out, the good point is that it was securely packed but I was a little annoyed I had to rip apart the box to get to it.
The stand is already assembled with usual instructions and power cord. There is a small button on the stand to turn on a fan mounted to the mag charging station for the phone if you want to make sure your phone stays nice and cool. Decent idea but I wonder how long the fan will hold out.
The watch and airpods station work perfectly, I even charged an off brand wireless earbuds case that's not airpods and worked great.
The mag safe mounted charger leaves a little to be desired, even without a case on it doesn't grip the phone very well but I can still use it even with a case on. Perfect world wish it gripped harder but it works. You can also just lay the phone flat on the wireless charging area below that.
Overall very happy with it, cord is a decent length.

Screen protectors they come in all shapes, sizes and brands. This set however is top notch. They are ultra transparent, shatter protected, hardness rating of 9H. If you have ever installed a screen protector in the past the process is pretty much the same.
Wash your hands, get a dust free/pet hair free zone to work in. Clean your phone with the included alcohol wipes, dry it off with the included dry wipe.
Use the included dust absorber to go around and grab off any lint or dust that might have fallen in step 1.
Grab the guide that goes around the phone and click it into the place.
Grab the protector peel off the side that covers the sticky side and apply carefully using the guide to the phone. Smooth out any air bubbles and rejoice. I was able to apply this perfectly the very first time and since you are getting a 4 pack, I've got 3 more to last me prob longer than the phone will since they are so durable. I did a couple "drop" tests and no cracks have appeared yet. These are great for the new iphone 14 pro max highly recommend.

Dominate in style with the powerful 1TB WD_BLACK P40 Game Drive SSD. The downloadable WD_BLACK dashboard gives you full control over the LED light display for a personalized experience every time you play (Windows® only). This high-performance SSD storage features blazing speeds in a compact and shock-resistant design, making it easy to take with you anywhere.
Posted by: mibeal
The P40 1tb ssd is the perfect extension of your Xbox or Playstation console. It's also compatible just as an external drive on your PC depending on how you format the storage. It's nice that you can use the drive with either console or PC without having to buy a separate model.
This thing is lightning quick with a nvme drive inside. I ran a few tests on PC and it was as fast as can be expected. It comes with a usb c connection which you want to use for the best transfer speeds but it also comes with a handy usb c to usb a converter if you have a laptop or pc that doesn't have a usb c port. Note that your speeds with going through usb a are going to be limited by the throughput of that port.
Size wise its very small and could easily fit in your pocket for storage on the go. The cord seems be a respectable length I wasn't put off by it or excited by it, its the length I was expecting. Really all you will need to do is plug in the drive to your console of choice or PC and format it to be used with that system and off you go. 1tb storage on a nvme ssd over usb-c this is about as good as it gets as far as external storage without replacing the actual ssd inside your pc or gaming console.

Get your first feel of racing thrills with this Thrustmaster T128 Racing Wheel for Xbox and PC. Optimized Force Feedback system with a lightweight wheel rim renders fun, intuitive racing sensations in different types of vehicle-oriented games. Precise T-MP magnetic paddle shifters gives you clear activation feel. Gear up for your next racing adventure with this T128 Racing Wheel!
Posted by: mibeal
Thrustmaster t128 is a good entry point to get into racing sims. The setup is fairly simple on xbox or pc (this particular model will not work on ps4/5.) You need to mount the steering wheel to your desk which is easy enough with the self grip included. Then connect the pedals to the wheel and run power to an outlet and a usb connection to your pc or xbox depending on the system you are playing on. Note if you are on PC there is an mandatory driver install you must get off their website to make it work.
The wheel feels good I tested it with Forza 5 and was happy with the controls and pedals. I wish the pedals were made of metal instead of plastic, but for the price point you can hardly complain. Everything felt responsive, I haven't seen any connection drops or non responsiveness from either the wheel or the pedals. I like how I can bounce between PC and xbox with the same set of hardware that's a nice feature that it's not locked into one or the other. Don't be alarmed if when you power on the wheel it starts spinning by itself this a self calibration feature that all racing wheels do.
Overall happy with the set and I'll be zooming around the streets in forza in a much more realistic way rather than holding onto a controller in my hands.

The king returns to raise the game. Enter the Razer Basilisk V3 Pro—the most advanced gaming mouse. Armed to the teeth with industry-leading technology, unlock your maximum potential with a weapon that pushes the known limits of performance, customization, connectivity, and control.
Posted by: mibeal
This mouse from razer seems to be a good all around build. The packaging was very simple the mouse comes with a usb a to usb c charging cable, an extender if you need to move the usb dongle to get a better signal and the 2.4 ghz usb dongle. Note that you can also just connect the mouse to a device over bluetooth as well.
If you are going to go with bluetooth there is a handy compartment on the bottom of the mouse to store the usb dongle when not in use so it doesn't get lost.
The mouse is very customizable with the Razer Synapse software you can reconfigure all the buttons, set dpi limits and color options.
The mouse itself feels very light in my head and all the buttons felt reachable with my large hands. I feel like I can move it and make accurate shots in shooters but just moving around in the os feels very comfortable and natural.
The only downside I have to mention is in regards to charging the mouse. I don't mind that Razer chose to use a non removable rechargeable battery but what I take issue with is that the area you need to plug the cable into is an odd shape. Outside of the included cable if you needed to grab another usb a to usb c cable it might not fit into the notch. Hopefully the OEM cable will just always be found and continue working but I'd like to see less proprietary form factor here and make the area wide enough that any old cable could be substituted in the future.
Overall 5 stars purchase plus if you are already a Razer fan and have other accessories syncing everything up together is a breeze with their apps.

Don’t let your iPhone battery die as you go throughout your day. The Insignia NS-MW335C2W22 35W Foldable Compact Dual USB-C Port Wall Charger for iPhone, iPad, MacBook Air, Samsung Smartphones, Tablets and More has a high, 35-watt output to quickly charge your iPhone, iPad, MacBook Air, Apple Watch, AirPods and more. It has two USB-C ports so you can connect your cable (not included) and charge two devices simultaneously. Its compact and durable body with a foldable plug easily fits into a purse or pocket, ready for when you need it. A simple white design pairs well with your other accessories. Keep your Apple devices working as hard as you do with this dual port, easy-to-carry charger.

This simple to use wall charger is everything you need for connecting multiple usb c devices into a single outlet. Please note this usb c ports not usb a which a lot of the industry is still using at this time. The packaging was very simple but it doesn't need to be elaborate for such an easy to use wall charger.
As an apple family I found charging multiple iphones with this was great to avoid using multiple outlets. The fact that it can put out 35w means that you can even hook up some beefier chargers to it as well and get the faster charging that comes with higher wattage.
I feel the charger is very safe and doesn't seem to off put a lot of heat to it so I feel safe leaving it plugged in when I'm not using it and knowing nothing terrible will happen. I also used official and unofficial apple cords with it and they all seemed to work the same no problem.
Overall this is what you are after if you want to eliminate multiple usb c wall adapters clogging up all your outlets. One outlet and two ports doesn't get much simpler than that.

The Shark Matrix Plus 2-in-1 Robot combines an ultra-powerful vacuum with Sonic Mopping for a complete clean from start to finish.

Great option for Dry and Wet Robot Cleaning
on September 15, 2022
Posted by: mibeal
This robot vac is a great option for both alternative to running a vacuum and a mop all in one. The box was neatly packed and organized and I found unboxing to be a painless process. Setup is fairly easy snap in a couple parts, connect the robot to wifi and charge it up on the self empty base. I've run it through on several cycles and the laser guided robot does a good job avoiding obstacles and not getting stuck on anything.
Mopping mode is pretty easy just swap out the back cartridge fill it with some water and solution and send it on the way, with a cleanable and swappable microfiber scrubber pad. I found the mop to work as well as steam mop option I have and the cleaner leaves a nice aroma as well.
The robot returns to the self empty base when it needs to empty or when it needs to charge the battery easily. The self empty base is very easy to attach and empty into the trash when it's full. I can tell a very noticeable difference when Ive run the robot compared to when I've skipped a day and have not.
There is a nice app for android and ios that makes managing the robot easy as well as viewing a map of your home making dedicated cleaning areas or just putting the robot on a schedule to clean at regular intervals. Just watch out for this option if you have pets that like to make messes because one time running over one of those fresh will be enough to ruin your new toy.
Overall very happy, Shark really out does it self in the robot vac industry with the self empty option and now adding a mop option as well.

Overview says console but does it really work with a ps4 pro
Yes it would work fine with a ps4 pro, its a usb drive it would be limited by the usb 3 port on your ps4 pro but you would gain some loading time over the drive that ships with the ps4 pro.

Get peace and quiet anywhere with these Sony truly wireless noise-cancelling earbuds. An advanced HD noise-cancelling processor blocks distracting background noise so you can focus in noisy environments, and Bluetooth connectivity ensures easy use with smartphones and other devices. These Sony truly wireless noise-cancelling earbuds include a convenient charging case that offers up to 24 hours of use per charge.
How comfortable are they? Do they feel like they're going to fall out with rigorous exercise (running) or do they have a secure fit a majority of the time?
They do not feel secure to me and I tried several of the ear tip sizes. One of the major complaints in my review was that when walking/running they don't feel secure.

Enjoy hours of reliability and speed with this HP Pavilion desktop. Its AMD Ryzen 5 processor and 12GB of RAM let you accomplish multiple tasks at the same time, and its 1TB hard drive provides plenty of space for file storage. This HP Pavilion desktop comes with a wired keyboard and mouse for interacting with Windows 10 Home.
how long has this been on the market I cant find any reviews any where I bought it because it sounds good on the inside and the last HP Pavillion I bought in 2011 is still running mostly good but I am preparing for needing a new 1
New to the market maybe a month or so. Short version of my review is if you just want to use this for checking email typing up documents and browsing web you will be ok. Don't expect any kind of gaming or 4k movie watching on this. Even just using it as a workstation feels somewhat slow with the 1tb mechanical drive. Add a SSD and it will be a speedy machine for you.

Integrated graphics not usable on anything but the likes of esport/minecraft games. 1gb vram.
