What a cool little cube!

Very cool and addictive. I spent an hour just playing around with the Merge Cube. Even without the VR headset its alot of fun, however using the headset with the cube is pretty awesome in itself. They have quite a few games and apps for it as of this review. I really hope that they keep building on this type of platform as I feel like not only are the games cool, this would be great for teaching and would make learning much more fun!

First VR Goggles, pretty good.
on October 7, 2017
Posted by: charliehustle77

As the title says this is my first set of VR goggles. Pretty cool concept and paired with some earbuds it was actually pretty immersive. I use an Iphone 6 plus with this and I felt like the clarity was ok. Kind of like looking at an SD TV screen, not an HD experience. I assume if you used a higher res phone the experience would be better? I'm not 100% sure on that, I would suggest you do research before assuming.
The only other issue that I had was my phone was very tough to get in and out of the headset. I know it is supposed to be snug, but it's almost too snug for a 6 plus. A smaller phone worked much better. It also caused my phone to get super hot while using the VR headset.
I feel like this is a good step in the right direction for VR, but I think we've got a ways to go before it's where I expected it to be when trying this headset without any prior experience with VR.

Great router with good coverage and features

This is another good product from Linksys. I think this might be the first router that is directly marketed to gamers, due to the fact that it always prioritizes gaming as first, everything else is after that and downloads are last. It reduces ping dramatically on PC's using the Killer Network. That means you will experience less lag while playing games, which in turn should improve your playing abilities, however you do not need to have a killer enabled PC to justify this router in my opinion.
I personally do not have a PC with Killer chipset enabled on it yet, however using the router for general gaming and in my home that has many connections that seem to grow every day, this router worked flawlessly. Setup was easy out of the box, like most routers are these days. Follow the instructions and a few clicks and your connected. Since using the WRT32X I haven't experienced any drop in speeds or lag since using it and the coverage throughout my townhouse is solid allowing me to get pretty far away from my place before losing signal. The user interface and dashboard is really intuitive and allows you to easily select which devices that you want to prioritize on your network. There you can view your network traffic, devices that are connected and test out your speed.
If you are a gamer and you have the Killer chipset then I would assume that you are on the cutting edge of technology and want to take full advantage of your gear by using a router that works with it. This router is likely a no brainer for you. If you are like me and are looking for a good router but do not have the Killer technology, then this is also an excellent router however linksys may offer a lower priced option that works just as well.

I'm a fan

This headset feels well built and sturdy. I'm not sure about the cloth covering the actual headset, I feel like it could get ripped or dirty easy if you play alot, but maybe the fabric is stronger than it looks.
The 7.1 surround sounds great on these and they fit my head/ears well enough that they're comfortable for wearing a few hours. I did not like the cloth covered ear pads, they felt irritating after a very short time of wearing them. Fortunately, Logitech provided a pair of replacement pads that are made of microfiber and feel like butter. The mic doesn't allow precise movements to put it in front of your face where you'd like, but it's close enough.
Bottom line: Good headseat, worth the buy.

Not good enough.
on August 8, 2017
Posted by: charliehustle77
I was so excited to hear about the release of this camera, I really wanted to like this camera and I think it could have so much potential but after owning it for a few weeks I feel like all the pros are outweighed by cons. I waited extra-long to review to see if the kinks finally got worked out but for the most part, they’re still there. I’ll be honest I ordered this camera with the intention of recording video thru a window facing out towards a parking lot. Although Logitech hides the fact that this camera cannot record facing out a window in it’s FAQ’s, here is your warning. Even with the window mount I do not think this camera will work properly as an outside facing, inside of a window camera. Maybe you can get a better answer from Logitech but they seem absent when asked in their own forums.
Pros:
Wide angle camera- Able to view a large amount of space with this camera
Quality of Video-Video quality is good on the camera at 720….when the camera works correctly.
Settings and Options-Plenty of options that should allow the camera to be tweaked to a users preferences.
Setup-Extremely easy to setup with my home wifi. Have only had issues with it dropping off of my wifi one time since setting it up. The camera seems stable in that sense.
Cons:
Mount- Plain and simple, it’s cheap, not sturdy and if mounted outside someone could likely throw a rock at the camera to knock it down or out of position. It’s literally a piece of plastic holding a heavy camera with some cheap clips. It’s not built for outside, which makes this a basically indoor only camera for those that don’t trust a cheap plastic mount.
No 1080- Why is 1080 listed as an option but not available? The only option is 720.
Live View-This is likely the only thing that the camera does well (see the next 2 sections) but it takes a good 30-45 seconds or longer to log into live view. That’s a long time. Also, Live View will automatically log you out shortly after you log in to conserve battery. So if you’re planning on leaving your wireless camera plugged in at all times and want to leave live view on to keep an eye on things, that’s not really an option that I have found.
Settings and Options- This is a con as well as a pro. The settings are very hard to get set correctly. Such as, when setting a zone you cannot do so with a live video playing. So you have no idea if the zone you set it in the correct area you want it at. I resorted to setting up a zone on my work desktop by turning on the live feed, placing sticky notes where I want my zone, then going in to zone editor and placing the zone around the sticky notes I had set up on my monitor. I’m guessing this will be fixed by firmware update but who knows, it’s really silly that Logitech didn’t think that through. The settings also will reset themselves to other preferences. Want the camera to record a max recording length of 60 seconds? Great! That’s an option. However, it will reset to 10 seconds of recording soon for whatever reason.
Recording- I set the recording sensitivity options to the highest available options since that was the only way that the camera would record (once again this camera is not made to face outside while mounted inside). It records, after events happen. Night vision does not work unless you are logged in and watching on live view. You will receive alerts where the camera records pitch black videos and then sends you an update. It also sometimes records videos with a pink hue. Also, as mentioned above, when you receive an alert from the camera it takes another 30-45 seconds or sometimes longer just to log in to watch the video that may or may not have recorded anything. Most of the alerts I got were the beginning of people walking by the house (for 10 seconds because the settings reset by themselves) or a car driving by. This is fine and what I expected since I had the sensitivity set to high. If you were to use this for security and someone broke into your vehicle my guess is that it would record the first 10 seconds of someone walking towards your car, then it might record more later depending on how long the break-in takes. My guess is most thieves aren’t going to sit in your vehicle or hang around your house for long amounts of time. The commercial Logitech uses to market this camera has someone seeing a shady person snooping around the house and them using the camera to speak to the shady person, scaring them off. Unless this camera is improved upon with firmware then that commercial is fantasy. The Day Brief option which lets you watch little pieces of recordings from your day is another good idea done wrong. Since the settings reset your recordings to 10 second max clips you’re left with a bunch of videos of the beginning or ending of events.
Logitech Circle-This is Logitechs paid subscription service that you pay $100 a year to get more recordings or lack of recordings depending on if the camera decides to work. No way I would sign up for this until the kinks are hammered out by the company.
Logitech customer support- Fail. When I wrote customer support about these and more issues I was having with the camera, I received an email in return explaining how to power the camera on and charge it for the first time. What? Do they even read the emails they receive? After replying to that message that they did not answer any of the questions I asked, I received another email saying that the issues I was having were known issues and that they had their people looking at them. I resorted to logging into Logitech’s own forums where I realized that I wasn’t the only person having issues.
To sum all of this up if you need a camera to mount inside your house that may or may not work (only for recording things inside your house), takes a long time to log in to view, records black videos at night, that even though it’s wireless it’s really not built for outdoors (cheap mount)…then this is for you. If you want/need a camera for more of a novelty item I would look elsewhere. Unless Logitech really takes the firmware updates to this camera seriously, rolls up their sleeves and fixes the major issues with this camera then it will be just another great idea with poor execution.
I’m sad to say I can’t recommend this camera to anyone until the issues are addressed and fixed.

Good value for a fast laptop.
on July 29, 2017
Posted by: charliehustle77
I have enjoyed using this laptop with the exception of a few minor issues that I can't even knock a star off for. I'm not a heavy gamer and the games that I do play are not normally new games.
-Build/Looks: This laptop looks good, is a good weight, a good thickness but what follows is really my only issue with the laptop. The build quality doens't seem very good. From the moment I opened the laptop I got a 'POP' noise from the bottom right hand part of the screen. I thought it was just a tight hinge but it's actually the bottom plastic bezel part of the screen that is getting hung up on the beveled plastic part of the keyboard area. Once I figured out what it was, I tried opening it several different ways. The best way I found was to open it slightly, let go of the screen part and let pressure off of it. Very strange. I haven't seen anyone else mention this in reviews so maybe I'll look into the issue a little closer and see if I can remedy it. The plastic on the backside of the screen part looks cool, but feels cheap. The keyboard offers a red backlight that was annoying at first but I grew to like it. Now, I leave it on all the time.
-Sound: The speakers sound good enough for whatever I used them for, however if you're buying this laptop you are likely to be using a headset.
-Screen: The screen quality looks really good. On a black screen, I did notice some bleed thru at the bottom of the screen. That could be from the popping screen every time I open the laptop, or it could be just the way it is. Either way, not a big deal for me as the colors look true and crisp.
-Performance: For a person who does not game alot, this laptop is a gem. Boot up is fast and it's performance is smooth like butter. Sure a SSD would be nice but the HDD seems to work great for the slightly older games I play as is. The laptop is easily upgraded by removing a few screws, if that's what you'd like to do. Playing games at higher settings resulted in an excellent performance and this machine stayed cool the entire time. The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 works great!
As said earlier, I can't knock a star off for the screen popping. This is a very impressive laptop. If you absolutely need a SSD out of the box or have to have a little bigger screen, then maybe this laptop is not the one for you. If you're looking to get a good laptop for gaming that has a good, fast engine that you could possibly build on later and won't break the bank? Then check this one out, it'll be worth it.

Comfy with great sound. Build issues?
on July 17, 2017
Posted by: charliehustle77
I'm a fan of these. I've tried several different over the ear headsets over the past year or so and these have a sound that works on all levels. They're not bass heavy like beats brand but across the board I feel like the sound is better. The Shareme 2.0 feature is a nice add on that allows you to share what you're listening to with another bluetooth headset. I'm not really sure how much I will use it but it's still pretty cool. These headphones offer long battery life of 25 hours per charge and a built in mic for sending and receiving calls. Calls sound crisp on the JBL's. I had no issues with walking far away from my phone while working out with these. I had zero issues with pairing or loss of signal. I would not call these an ideal headset for working out as I prefer earbuds, however these are very comfy and some might find them perfect for that.
When I opened the box I found a nice compact hard case in which the headsets lived. They fold up nicely to fit inside and there is a little pocket for a charger and 3.5 audio jack which are included.
My only issue with this headset was when I opened the black carrying case I noticed there was a tiny screw that had either fallen out or not been installed correctly into the headphones. I found where the screw went (in one of the folding hinges) and used a precision screwdriver to put it back in. No issues after that but I'd never had to do that with any product right out of the box. I will be keeping an eye on the screw for a bit until i'm sure that it stays where it should be. However, had I not had the precision screwdriver set I definitely wouldn't have had a driver small enough since the screw was tiny.
Would this effect the product over time? Hard to say. There are 2 screws that hold the hinge in place for a reason.
Other than that one issue, I think this headset is good to go and would recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable headset with high quality sound. Good job JBL.

Good earbuds, not so good for glasses.
on July 5, 2017
Posted by: charliehustle77
I like the earbuds. They sound good for the price, however if you wear glasses you definitely want to try these before committing. I knocked a star off for the bendable behind the ear pieces that take some getting used to and did not work well at all when I put on sunglasses. I didn't have any problems with them falling out of my ears while working out as others have spoken about and their are many different ear pieces to choose from. My guess is that you'll find one that works for you too.
I would recommend these to friends who didn't need to wear glasses or shades while using them.

Awesome speaker
on June 29, 2017
Posted by: charliehustle77
This speaker rocks. Take into account that alot of bluetooth speaker manufacturers are going with smaller sizes now. The nyne rebel takes that and throws it out the window. You get deep bass and really good highs with this larger than normal speaker. It's splashproof and is great for the beach or pool. It comes with a handle for easy toting. You can also make bluetooth calls on this thing, if you'd like to speak to people thru a big ol' speaker. I haven't tried it yet but I'm sure it works as described.
It paired up with several apple devices with no problems at all as expected and the signal seemed to make it as far as I could hear with out any distortion or connectivity issues. I have yet to try out NFC on this speaker.
The only issue I had with the speaker was the aux out. I plugged in the aux out speaker to my bose soundlink and there was more of an echo sound than anything. The bose was slightly behind the nyne rebel. I would guess that if I had went with a straight 3.5 connection throughout instead of bluetooth to 3.5 it probably would've worked better.
All in all this speaker is a hit. The feel of it reminds me of the huge Radio Raheem boom boxes from the 80's. It sounds soooo good! Highly recommend for anyone who doesn't mind having a larger speaker for a bigger sound.

Excellent grill
on June 16, 2017
Posted by: charliehustle77
This grill is really well made. It heats up very fast. It got to 400 degrees in about 4 or so minutes. The app that you use with it came in handy when we used it and cooked our steaks pretty much the way we wanted. The sear function is neat, it brings the heat way up to sear whatever you put on it. You can control the heat on the top as well as the bottom so if you are unable to get a crispy crust on your pizza, this might work for you. You can put the plates in the dishwasher making for an easy cleanup.
A couple things I didn't like. The drip tray is in the rear of the grill, kind of a silly thing to do right? The cord is kind of short. The cost of this grill is on the high end for sure even though it is well made and a quality piece. This doesn't come with the waffle plates and for what it costs, shouldn't it? It's also big, so it takes up a large amount of counter space so take that into consideration.
Other than those things I can recommend this to others. If you live in a small spot with no grill or if your a traveler and stay in places where a full size grill is not available, this is for you.

Minimize movement and maximize comfort with ERGO M575—a wireless trackball with sculpted ergonomic shape. With no need to move your arm around to move the cursor, your hand and arm stay relaxed. Remarkably smooth and responsive cursor control works perfectly on any surface. Connect simply via Bluetooth Low Energy or the included USB receiver with a 33 ft (10 m) range.
hi, the M575 has only been available on Logitech's site in graphite and off-white colors. Guess best buy is having it now... is this "black" color really black? or is it the same graphite-gray that logitech sells on their site?
The part number on the black M575 from Best Buy does not match the part number for the graphite version from Logitech. I would guess they are not the same.

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?
These fell out of my ears while I was doing nothing. They don't feel secure. The sound on these are great but working out and exercising with these on will probably not be a good idea.
