Wireless perfection with a reasonable price tag

Full disclosure not an audiophile. I think the sound quality is top notch on these from Logitech. Packaging fairly basic you have a usb wireless dongle for communication so small and tidy (actually running of a monitor usb port). You will also get a nice USB-A to USB-C charging cable plenty long for my liking.
You also get two sets of ear cushions, the default ones are a nice noise cancellation leather which make my ears sweat but I like the extra noise cancellations. The other set is a nice pleather set that will let more noise in but also let your ear's breathe. Swapping them out is simple as pulling them out and swap.
The headset controls are simple everything is located on the left ear cup. Power toggle switch, volume dial, push mute button and the USB-C Charging port. Mic is detachable and comes detached at first.
I find the headset to be very loud and so much I can't run it max volume without making my ears shudder. Where the headset really shine's is in the Logitech G software. So many options to tweak your new baby from microphone adjustments to audio equalizer settings. You also get the option to customize your directional surround sound for your fps gamers you can really customize your ability to hear those footsteps. I do recommend tweaking in the software right away I found the default setup as the headset came not the best.
I also own a pair of Astro's A50 Gen 4 and I find these very comparable for MSRP $100 less. Also you don't have to find space for a bulky headset dock and charging the Pro X I find much less frustrating. I personally find the sound very top notch and relaxing.
Battery life is 20+ hours advertised and can confirm it holds true. The range is what you would expect from a modern day wireless headset nothing to write home about but it holds its own with similar devices.
Headset quality feels very strong and not fragile, its a tad bendy but I never feel like I'm going to snap or break anything. One of the only complaints I have is no flip to mute style mic but just a preference thing for me.
Overall very happy with this and look forward to years of gaming with this. If you are on the fence between the Astro's and this I think $100 less MSRP makes this the appropriate buy with the other differences I mentioned.

Samsung 870 QVO 2TB Internal 2.5” SATA III Solid State Drive for Laptops and Desktops Single Unit version
Posted by: mibeal
from Olean, NY
Great SSD for game storage. I also own the previous model QVO 860 this performs similiar if you have it as well. Comes in a typical package with warranty info and the drive. Screws for installation will come from your case/mobo packages so don't expect any installation screws.
On first boot the drive was detected in windows and needed to be formatted in disk management under windows 10. Once formatted it was ready to start holding data. I found the advertised speeds to be reasonable expectations. I would not recommend this for boot drive with the availability of NVME drives nowadays I would use this strictly as a game or storage drive. The price point is a little high but as always you are paying for the Samsung name compared to similiar products. That said I own several Samsung SSD's and they are all still going strong and I have a 0% failure rate so with that premium price tag also comes a reassurance that you are getting a quality product.
If you go into this purchase knowing that you are getting yourself a solid game/storage drive in a 2.5" format then you will not be disappointed in this purchase or the speeds at which your data loads.

Works great for the Iphone XS Max with a plastic shell case on. Plug and play comes with the usb cable and wall charger necessary to transfer the 10w charging. It can get me 0-80% pretty quick. My phone gets pretty hot on this thing but that's just how it is with transferring so much power to the battery heating up the phone. I haven't noticed any adversed effects from this and its pretty standard from any other qi wireless charger as well.
This thing works well comes exactly as you see it on the website and performs as you would expect it too. It touts itself as compatible with either Iphone or Android, we are an Iphone family so can't speak about the android side of it but I imagine it works flawlessly there as well.
If you are in the market to cut the charging cord and go wireless I would grab this one it just works. Since its an upright stand you can technically still use your phone while its charging and watch a video.

The Shark UltraCyclone Pet Pro+ is a cordless handheld vacuum designed for powerful suction. It comes with a motorized self-cleaning Pet Power Brush that eliminates hair wrap, a lithium-ion battery, CleanTouch dirt ejector, and more, at only 2.8 lbs.
Posted by: mibeal

Small compact powerful this thing really delivers from Shark. It's a handheld vacuum that has some solid suction power. I also have a V8 Dyson Stick vacuum and this has more power than that. It comes with three easy to use attachments that just pop in and out as you need them. I do wish they would have incorporated a way for the vacuum to hold the attachments so don't lose them!
The unit came to me charged up and ready to use. I've had it for several days with daily use and have not had to charge it yet. The charger it self is just a dc plug in box. Nothing to wall mount. Emptying the cannister is as simple as pushing a button and trap opens over a trash can. It does very well with pet hair and has a special pet hair roller attachment that was very good at taking up cat hair in my house.
Overall I'm very happy with this product and would recommend it if you in the market for a handheld vacuum. Shark makes a quality product.

1 TB External NVME SSD in a USB Enclosure whats not to love. Comes with a usb -c cable or usb-a as well. It boasts 2gb transfer speeds over usb-c and it delivers this based on my home testing. The usb-a over usb 3.0 got me around 300mb/s transfers from a SSD to this NVME drive in windows.
The enclosure is very small and could easily fit in your pocket for safe transportation. Since its a SSD you dont really need to be concerned with dropped or shock damage, but the enclosure it self is very well made and sturdy.
For those people wondering about shucking the drive, its very well made and put together and you would have a hard time prying it open to remove it without doing damage to the outer shell.
To obtain the 2gbps transfers over usb-c requires the latest gen usb standards and ports, still even if you have an older system this is so handy for quick backups or moving files between pc's. Because its so small why bother with a flash drive.
It also comes with directions for using it as PS4/Xbox game drive simply install with USB-A cable and format on whatever system you want and start installing games. It's important to remember you will be limited by the USB 3.0 ports of the PS4/Xbox don't expect game changing speeds but still its an improvement over the standard mechanical drives inside those units.
In closing highly recommend this no complaints.

This is my first MMO gaming mouse. I use a non claw grip, and the size of the mouse fits my hand well. The buttons have two textured columns so you can feel the 12 buttons on the side easily and tell where you are. The buttons can be removed and positions adjusted to your personal comfort which I find very useful.
The Icue Corsair software is simple to use to adjust RGB, customized macros, dpi etc. I found it simple and quick to get my new mouse setup and running. I mainly play WoW and I found this mouse great for raiding and keeping my hands off the keyboard and on the mouse more with all the extra buttons.
Mouse feels great, buttons feel good and would highly recommend it as a first time MMO gaming mouse user.

Google's newest mesh network setup. Comes with 2 nodes, one is the router, one is the extender node to increase coverage. Comes with the nodes, power supplies, ethernet cable to connect to modem. Setup was not very difficult but during the setup the app doesn't really tell you whats going on just tells you "to hang on" while it does stuff without telling you what.
My first major complaint you can't setup the router as an access point to an existing network. I have a much nicer linksys ac-3000 router I had to put into bridge mode because Google won't get off their high horse and let you think there could be anything better than their product.
I find the interface to manage the router settings to be not very user friendly at all with having to dig to look for basic things like restart the network, set static ip addresses etc.
The connection is solid in my house. 2 story home plaster lathe walls 1800 sq ft. I haven't had any issues covering the whole house with the 2 node unit.
All that said I would not recommend this to anyone but the people who hate technology and want to set it and forget it. If you like to tinker and manage network I would avoid this as a mesh option. I read some further reviews where people called Google for help getting into access point mode but at the time of this review it was not a readibly accessible option.
For shame Google, for shame.

Smooth your face easily with this Philips Norelco dry electric shaver. The ComfortCut blade system with rounded profile heads provides a smooth glide to prevent cuts, and the flexible four-direction movement enables precise shaving on different facial contours. This Philips Norelco dry electric shaver has a pop-up trimmer for easy styling of sideburns and mustaches.

First time electric shaver user here. I used to only shave once a week because it was time consuming and annoying being knicked and cut no matter how careful I was. I was a dollar shave club guy as well. This thing is so smooth and other than a small pinch (not cut) it's great to use everyday.
Comes with a charger and a plastic cover. I havent had to charge it since receiving it about two weeks now. Clean up is super simple head pops right off. Also has a pop up trimmer for moustache and side burns that works great. I use this every morning for a quick touch up and love it. I will admit you won't get as close of shave as a normal razor but for no cuts and no annoying facial hair to trim down once a month I'll take that concession.
If you want a new electric razor I'd recommend this one for simple, easy and pain free.

Usage time is about 1 week since having it. Runs off 1 aa battery which comes with the mouse and a usb dongle. Can be set to run off bluetooth or high speed wireless via dongle. Can switch between the two on the fly with a button on the top of the mouse. 6 programmable buttons on the side.
Only the back two buttons feel easily reachable for my hand but your results may vary. Mouse wheel can go from free scrolling to a mechanical like scrolling at the flip of a button as well. 16000 dpi at max setting, I found my comfort zone around 10k with mouse acceleration in windows turned down. Overall it feels really good, seems to be lacking RGB options but that doesn't really matter to me. All settings can optimized in the Logitech G hub app which I like seems very simple and easy to find things.
I own a lot of gaming mice and this is my current go to. I wish the buttons on the side were all more easily reachable but thats my only complaint and I'm not taking off a star for it.

Upgraded from a R6400 Netgear dual band router. Setup was very simple and easy all done through the linksys app on your preferred app store. I was up and running within minutes of plugging it in, setting up my wifi network. Once setup you can access the tools from an internet browser but the app is very intuitive.
I like how it combines the 2.4/5ghz bands into a single SSID for simple easy setup. It has 4 antennas which in my 1800 sq ft home doesn't really leave me with any dead spots. I actually set up my old router as an AP and it seems to working well with this router.
I've had it up and running for a few days now and haven't had to restart it or mess with it in anyway since setting up. I haven't seen any outages running multiple speed tests my phones and tablets are pulling their full speed from my ISP 100/10.
One nice thing about this being a mesh router is you can easily add it into an existing mesh network if you have the nodes already, the setup wizard walks you right through the process.
The router itself boasts 3000 sq feet coverage but my home isn't quite that large so I can't say for sure if it meets this.
It is AC 3000 so when faster speeds come to my area I feel confident I won't need to upgrade for a long time, the quad core processor in this feels snappy as well on a short boot up time.
I am very satisfied with this router and highly recommend it. It might seem pricey but this router is the one you want. I'm a home enthusiast and gamer.

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.

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.
