Very user friendly!

This is the first time that I have used H&R Block software to do my taxes and I love it! I have always used Turbotax, but the H&R software is much easier to use with more conveniences. If you have never used tax software before it is extremely easy to set up an account and to get started. I love that you don't really have to enter that much information as long as you have access to your documents. You can import most of the information needed to complete your taxes by uploading or taking a picture of your tax documents. I have always worried that I entered the incorrect information from my tax forms, but with the H&R software all of those worries are gone. I also feel very confident that the software is asking me the correct questions to benefit my tax returns. If you have a question, you can either read more information about the topic or choose to speak to a representative through the software. The software is extremely user friendly that even if you aren't good with computers or have never used tax software, you will be able to complete your taxes without any problems. I would highly recommend H&R block tax software to complete your tax returns.

A must have for youtubers and streamers
on December 27, 2019
Posted by: Longhorn74

If you are serious about your YouTube videos, podcasting or streaming your gaming then you need to have the Blue Yeti X mic. First of all, you can tell that it is a high quality mic right out of the box. Second, it is very easy to set up once you have the Logitech G hub app. Once you have the app you can customize the mic to best fit your needs. The reason why you get a mic like this is for the clarity and boy does it deliver! Everyone noticed the difference as I was gaming, I didn't even have to ask them. As I listen to my old podcasts and videos and compare them to the new ones that I have made with the Blue Yeti, the difference is night and day with my voice clarity. The mic comes with a nice 11 segment LED meter to let you know if you are too loud or not loud enough. It also comes with a smart knob to let you adjust the mic, your headphone volume and it will even blend the mic signal and computer sound in your headphones. The mic allows you to do 4 pickup patterns: You can do bi-directional, cardioid, omni and of course stereo. You will not be disappointed with the quality and versatility of this Blue Yeti X mic. If you want to seriously upgrade the sound quality of your videos, then you need to get this mic.

Great smartwatch experience
on November 28, 2019
Posted by: Longhorn74
from McKinney, TX
This is my first experience with a smartwatch and so far I have to say that I am very pleased with this Michael Kors smartwatch. Yes, it doesn't come with a very explicit owner's manual, but if you have set up any smart device, then this will be a breeze. You will need to charge it for about 30 minutes before setting it up. It comes with a charging cord, but no cube. Once it is charged, just download the Wear OS and you are off and running, literally if you want. I love how you can change the faces, it comes with 56 and you can download more if you want. It has 3 digital crown buttons that perform a different task. The top crown takes you to your options for watch faces, the second one allows you to scroll through your icons and the third crown takes you to Google fit where you can keep track of your steps and heart rate. The watch has stayed connected to my phone even from 30 feet away. The main reason why I got this watch is because I don't like to carry my phone around and with this watch I can determine if I need to go to my phone or just keep working. It will of course let you answer text messages and answer calls. As long as it has decent charge, I can swipe without any lag. Once the watch is low on juice, I noticed that the swiping wasn't as consistent. If you start at 100 % in the morning, the charge will last all day long. If you do forget to charge it overnight, it won't take more than 30 minutes to quickly recharge in the morning. If you are looking to take a break from constantly having your phone with you, I highly recommend this Michael Kors smartwatch.

Nice little portable speaker

Even though the majority of the time this Marshall Acton II stays in the living room, I love the sound so much that I will sometimes unplug it and take it with me to my work out room or my bedroom. Let's beginning with the looks of this magnificent bluetooth speaker. It has a very classic design that will fit well with most decor. It has the look and feel of an amp. In order for this bluetooth speaker to work, you will need to download their app onto your device(s). From there it is very easy to pair up and also where the fun begins. Once you turn it on and adjust the bass and treble to your liking, you will be amazed by the sound that this speaker produces. As I mentioned before, I love the sound so much that I will take it with me to other parts of the house. The app is very easy to navigate and you can you use it to customize your speaker. Our neighbor came over and immediately noticed it and is considering getting one of their own once he heard the sound that came out of this Marshall speaker. If you are looking for a speaker that won't take up alot of space and produce great sound, you should consider getting the Marshall Acton II speaker.

Very user friendly and great price!

I have been using Adobe Photoshop for the last 5 years and I have never been disappointed. I recently got the Photoshop and Premiere Elements for my PC because my wife and I love to take pictures and now most recently video. Our pictures don't always turn out, but when they don't we don't worry because we know that we can play around with photoshop to make them better. I would highly recommend that you buy the bundle because who doesn't do video now-a-days. As always the program is easy to download and install on your computer. Once it is installed the program will help navigate you depending on your needs. Once you have found what you are looking for, the program will guide you on how to accomplish what you want to do with your picture. One of the major pluses for Adobe has always been how user friendly their programs are and the 2020 version is no different. If you are a novice, then you will find that working with this program is easy to use. The program provides a search bar where you can type in what you want to accomplish and it will take to the adobe website where they provide either step by step instructions or a video to show you how to accomplish your task. How much easier can it get! Second, you can't beat the price for this bundle. Adobe provides you with so many tools for photos and videos at a great price. Whether it is your first time with editing software or you are a pro, you can't go wrong with getting the Adobe Photoshop and Premier Elements.

Increases quality of sleep
on November 3, 2019
Posted by: Longhorn74
from McKinney, TX
As most 40 somethings in America I get tired and drowsy during the day while I am at work. I was looking for something to help me increase my quality of sleep at night. I can get to sleep easy enough but wasn't getting that deep sleep I use to have when I was younger. I have to admit that I was a bit skeptical about this smart sleep headband, but after using it for a month I am convinced that it has helped me get better sleep. I wasn't sure what size to get, but going with the large was a good call for me instead of the medium. I think the medium would be good for a woman. The headband is easily adjustable. You will definitely need to download the SleepMapper app to get all of the information on your sleep patterns. It feels very comfortable on your head but there is a slight nuisance putting on the sensors behind your ears every night. Within 3 to 4 days I felt and could see on the SleepMapper app that I was getting much deeper sleep with the headband. The only reason why I gave this product 4 instead of 5 stars is that I am mainly a side sleeper and the integrated speakers press down on my ears and would sometimes cause me to wake to readjust them. The app is really easy to navigate and gives you very accurate information. The longer you use it, the better information you are able to get from the app. Overall, if you are looking to increase the quality of your sleep then I recommend that you consider looking into getting this Phillips Smart/Deep sleep headband.

Best gaming keyboard!
on October 27, 2019
Posted by: Longhorn74
from McKinney, TX
I love this Logitech G Pro gaming keyboard. I already had a Logitech gaming keyboard from a couple of years ago and boy have they made some major improvements. Let's start with the size of the keyboard, it is compact which facilitates taking this keyboard anywhere you want. It comes with a detachable micro usb cable which prevents your wire from getting damaged if you have to transport your board. Second, I love the clicky switches. You can really hear and feel the feedback from the keys. I also enjoy the ability to customize the lighting when you download the the GHub software. If you are serious gamer then you will love the programmable f keys for the more complex moves which can be executed with the stroke of a single key. This board will seriously give you an advantage over your competition.

Great electric toothbrush!
on October 7, 2019
Posted by: Longhorn74
from McKinney, TX
This is my second Philips Sonicare electric toothbrush and I have been very happy with both. My last toothbrush lasted me almost 3 years and I am hoping this Philips lasts as long. All teeth aren't made the same way and I love how this model has 3 sensitivity modes to help you adjust to your teeth. If this is your first time with this brush I would start with the lowest intensity level and eventually build up. The brush does come with the Easy Start feature which increases the power of the handle over the first 14 cleanings. This toothbrush also comes equipped with a pressure sensor which lets you know if you are applying too much pressure while you brush. Another nice feature is the brush head replacement reminder. As with most gadgets now a days, this brush comes with an app. This app gives you feedback on how well you are brushing based on how often you use it. Overall, you want a toothbrush that makes your mouth feel clean and this Philips Sonicare hands down does this.

Great value for this television!
on October 1, 2019
Posted by: Longhorn74
from McKinney, TX
For $600 this Hisense 55" LED H9F tv is a bargain. The number one reason why people buy a television is because of the picture that the set produces and with this Hisense you will not be disappointed.
Out of the box it was very easy to remove and to set it up. I am replacing an older Samsung that was hanging over my fireplace. In order to hang it I just bought some longer M6 screws and used the same hardware that I was previously using to mount this new tv. It is light enough that I was able to go up a ladder and mount it on my own.
Once it was all mounted and the connections had been made, it was very easy to set it up with Wifi. I would liken setting up this Android tv to setting up your android phone, very quick and easy. I was able to pair up the remote and eventually Alexa. I really like the feature where the remote can use voice commands. I also really enjoy using my phone as I browse the internet with the television.
Did I mention that the picture is pretty good? I can't get over the quality of the picture for the price. The sound that comes from this tv is pretty good and can be adjusted depending on what you are watching. It even comes with a wall mounted sound option. The only option that I was bummed about was not being able to use my wireless soundbar with this tv.
Overall, I just say enough good things about this Hisense. There is so much to like, especially for the price point. You are getting a great bargain with this Hisense H9F series.

Nice little portable speaker
on September 22, 2019
Posted by: Longhorn74
from McKinney, TX
This ION portable speaker is nice for the price. It already came mostly charged so I only plugged it in for 30 minutes before it was fully charged. I got this portable speaker because I have a pool and I always have to keep other speakers a good distance from the pool in case it gets water on them. With this ION speaker I was never concerned if it ever got wet. Besides it being waterproof, I really liked how easy it was to connect with my phone. The music quality was pretty good, but not great. The only reason why I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars was the radio. The reception is not the best, but we mainly listen to music on our phones, so not having the best radio reception isn't a deal breaker for us. It is very easy to carry around and so far we have used it for two days and we still have 3 bars on the charge. Overall, if you are looking for an inexpensive portable speaker, I would recommend this ION speaker.
