Quality audio and sharp looking
on May 12, 2022
Posted by: Longhorn74
from Dallas
This Razer Kaira Pro HyperSense wireless gaming headset is pretty good overall. The first thing you will notice when you pull them out of the box is how sharp looking they are. The look pairs really nice with your Playstation 5. Not only can you use this headset with a PS5, but I really like that this headset is versatile and can also be paired with your PC and cellular device to listen to music.
In order to get the most out of this headset you will need to download the Razer Audio app. The audio app lets you customize the EQ setting and also to cycle through all of the settings, block incoming calls while gaming via the 2.4 GHz dongle, turn Smart Link on and off. In order to turn the lighting on the ear cups on or off, you will need the Chroma RGB app. I wish all of these settings were controlled through one app instead of two. This is one of the reasons why I didn't give it five stars.
Once you place them on your head, you will notice how light they are and they are also fairly comfortable after 4 hours of play. My ears didn't get that hot or start to sweat. The headband fits really nicely around my head and they are easy to adjust. The mic is easily manipulated and comes off really nicely when you just want to listen to music. Speaking of the microphone, another reason why I took a star off, is the mic. The sound quality that comes from this mic makes my voice sound overly processed. My friends didn't complain when I am online with them, but I would probably refrain from using this mic if you are going to stream your games.
The sound quality that comes through this Razer headset is pretty amazing. One of the major highlights of this headset is the Haptics. They are a surprisingly fun addition to audio, with three different intensity levels. This is one of the features that sets this headset apart.
The battery on this headset will vary, depending on what features you have turned on. Without the haptic and rgb features, the battery will last me a good 45 hours. But if I consistently use those 2 features, the battery life is cut in half.
Overall, if you are looking into getting a serious gaming headset, this Razer wireless headset is good option with lots of cool features.

Great for portable gaming
on May 8, 2022
Posted by: Longhorn74
from Dallas, Texas
I have had this ASUS TUF Gaming laptop for a week and a half and I absolutely love it. I will spare you all the technical details of this gaming laptop because you can see those on the Best Buy website under the product overview and specifications. What I will talk about are what I think are the realistic highlights of this gaming laptop. The first thing you will notice when you take it out of the box is how light weight it is. This ASUS is just under 5 pounds, so you will barely notice it when you are carrying it around. For a gaming laptop it is also super thin, under 1 inch. The second striking feature of this ASUS is how durable it is built. As you can see from some of the pictures, it isn't just durable, but it also has a nice rugged look to it with a gunmetal gray matte finish. Once you get this bad boy cranked up, the first thing that will catch your eye is how crisp the screen is. This is where the 15.6" FHD 144Hz display comes into play. Next you will notice how fast this laptop is. It starts up very quickly and connects very fast to the wifi. Sound on this laptop is decent, but who cares, anyone who is using this laptop will have their headset connect to this. The trackpad is also decent, but again not a problem, as most people will use their gaming mouse instead. This gaming laptop isn't meant to replace your gaming rig, it is meant to provide you with a portable option when you want to game, so if you look at it from that perspective, it is a very viable option. I have about an hour commute on the train, so I connect my wifi hotspot and game on my way to work and back. I also like to use it at home when I am in bed and that is when the RGB keyboard comes in handy or at the kitchen table. Overall, I am very please with this ASUS TUF gaming laptop and I would highly recommend it.

It takes serious water power to clear debris — meet one of the strongest cordless engines on the market: the BURST Water Flosser. With three settings and three 360-degree rotating tip options, you can massage your gums, precisely spray between teeth to dislodge bacteria, and give plaque the boot.

Great alternative to regular flossing
on May 5, 2022
Posted by: Longhorn74
from Dallas
I have been flossing with dental floss for over 30 years, but the downside to flossing is that it takes time. Especially at night when you are tired and don't feel like taking 3 to 4 minutes to floss. My main reason for getting this Burst water floss was to save time on flossing. I have to admit that I was concerned about how good of a job it was going to do compared to dental flossing, but I have been pleasantly surprised at how good of a job it really does between my teeth. When you pull it out of the box, it is very simple to put together. All you have to put together is the tip and the cover for the water container. Once it has been put together, it is very simple to operate. The first thing you need to decide is which mode you would like to floss: pulse, standard or turbo. I recommend that you begin with standard and after a few days move up to turbo. Once you fill the tank up, it takes about 30 seconds to go through the water. I usually take two run throughs to feel that my teeth are truly clean. It is cordless and waterproof, so you can take it in the shower. It is rather compact, so you can easily pack it with you when you travel. So far I have used it for a week and I have not had to recharge it. Overall, I have been very pleased with this Burst water floss. It leaves my teeth feeling just as clean as when I was using dental floss, but it takes way less time to get get the job done. I highly recommend this water floss.

Great comfort and value!
on February 16, 2022
Posted by: Longhorn74
from Dallas, Texas
I have to admit that I was a bit skeptical of how comfortable this Simmons Charlie and Dixie memory foam mattress was going to be because it came in a box. Boy was I wrong. I got the full mattress and have been impressed by it. I am five foot 10 inches and weigh 175 lbs and this mattress has been wonderful the last 2 weeks that I have it. It wasn't very heavy and it comes in a box that is easy to drag and lift if you live by yourself and don't have any help carrying it. Once I opened the box, I noticed that it comes with a letter opener device that you use to cut through the plastic that wraps the mattress. Once I freed the mattress, I let it expand and breathe for a whole day before I put the sheets on it. You only need to let it expand for 2-3 hours, but I let it breathe longer to get rid of some the plastic and foam smell. The smell wasn't horrible, but I am sensitive to smells. I got this mattress to replace an 8 year old Sealy. I was very impressed on the first night sleep and as I said earlier I was skeptical. The mattress is firm but very comfortable because of the memory foam. I haven't slept this well in at least 4 years. If you are looking for a very reasonably priced mattress that delivers in comfort, then you need to give this Simmons memory foam mattress a shot.

Great all-around fans

Primary reason for building/modifying PC:Gaming
These 120mm Razer Kunai ARGB fans are awesome. First of all, if you get them shipped, rest assure that they will not be damaged in the shipping as they come in a nice box that has each fan in a foam packaging. Once I opened them it took me no time at all to install them. There are 2 big questions when buying fans: how well do they keep temps down in your case and how quiet are they? I already had 3 fans and by adding these 120mm Razer Kunai ARGB fans, they have really made a huge noticeable difference in keeping the temps down. Second, the fans for the most part are quiet. The only time they can get kind of loud is when they run over 1000 rpm. The only reason why I gave it 4 out 5 stars is because I can't control RGB since it doesn't come with a controller. Overall, I would recommend these Razer Kunai fans if you want fans to provide strong air and are quiet most of the time.

Cleaning up after pets has never been easier than with CrossWave X7 Cordless Pet Pro, our BEST CrossWave multi-surface cleaner for homes with pets. It vacuums and washes at the same time, across sealed hard floors and area rugs, combining cleaning steps and saving you time. It’s perfect for grab and go cleaning of frequent pet messes with up to 30 minutes* of hassle-free, cordless run time and it weighs just over 10.5 lbs. Our pet parent engineers incorporated three different cleaning modes: Hard Floor Mode, Area Rug Mode and TURBO PET Mode to boost cleaning performance, especially for pet and everyday stuck-on messes. CrossWave X7 Cordless Pet Pro multi-surface cleaner also has LED headlights to illuminate pet hair, dirt and debris while cleaning along baseboards and in corners. And unlike when you use a mop and bucket, there’s no need to worry about putting dirty water on the floor while you clean, since our Two-Tank Technology keeps the clean and dirty water separate. When you’re done cleaning, CrossWave X7 Cordless Pet Pro cleans itself! It has a self-cleaning cycle that rinses the brush roll and inside of the CrossWave with clean water, so there’s less clean-up after cleaning. Plus, it comes with two trial-size bottles of our PET Clean + Natural formula and two PET Multi-Surface Brush Rolls. And this machine doesn’t just clean up after pets, it helps save them! BISSELL proudly supports BISSELL Pet Foundation and its mission to help save homeless pets. When you buy a BISSELL product, you help save pets, too. We’re proud to design products that help make pet messes, odors and pet homelessness disappear.

Versatile wet/dry vac that provides convenience
on December 15, 2021
Posted by: Longhorn74
from McKinney, TX
I really like this wet/dry cordless vacuum from Bissell. I wanted this particular vacuum because I have a cat that sheds a lot and sometimes will peep on our carpet because her litter isn't changed as frequently as she would like. We also have kids that can sometimes be messy and spill food on the carpet. Another primary reason why I got this Bissell wet/dry vac is because I also have hardwood floors. I have always owned a big bulky deep cleaner for the carpet because of the fur baby and our kids. The big cleaner has always worked, but it isn't very convenient to get it all set up if I just need to clean a small area. Now that I have this Bissell Crosswave X7, I can tackle those stains right away. This Crosswave is very easy to get started on those stains and plus they give you 2 cleaning solution bottles. It has worked well at cleaning some pet stains, but also food stains made by our kids. What makes it convenient, besides it being easy to set up, is that it is light weight, cordless and easy to clean up the machine after you are done. I no longer have to spend a lot of time prepping and cleaning afterwards like I used to do with our bulky carpet cleaner.
Another reason why I am grateful for this Bissell is that I can also use it on my hardwood floors and area rugs. I will usually do the hardwood floors in the morning and let the machine recharge and in the afternoons I will then move on to the area rugs. The charge time is 4 hours with this machine, which is really not bad considering all the work that it does for you. It does a pretty good job on my hardwood floors, but I think it does better on my carpet and area rugs. Overall,, I am very happy with the performance of this wet/dry vac as it allows me to tackle the different floors that I have in my house and it is very easy to use.

Serious protection. Subtle styling. Built sustainably. WĀKE for Apple iPad (7th generation, 8th generation, and 9th generation) is a sea-change in case construction, using mostly ocean-based recycled plastic without sacrificing performance. Molded with a mellow wave pattern, the look is contemporary to the core. And after purchase, you get to donate a dollar to one of LifeProof’s water-conscious nonprofit partners — for free.

Attractive and environmentally safe!

Posted by: Longhorn74

There are a couple of things to note with this LifeProof case for Ipads generation 7-9th. First of all, it only covers the back side of your Ipad, so you might think about getting a screen protector to ensure you don't scratch your screen. Secondly, if you are getting this case it is because you are looking for something light weight. The case is a matte black with a wave pattern. Third, this cover fits really nice an tight. That being said, you know that it won't ever slip off, but it is also kind of a struggle to put it on. The cover seems to be very sturdy, not flimsy at all, but the downside to that is that the power and volume buttons on this cover don't have a lot of give to them. Maybe over time, they will loosen up. Lastly, for me, I like that this cover was made from 85% ocean-based plastic. I am all for products that are environmentally conscience.

Great little humidifier
on November 14, 2021
Posted by: Longhorn74
from McKinney, TX
This little guy works great. This is a must have as winter is right around the corner. I have had this Pure Enrichment cool mist humidifier for about 1 week and I love it. Not only do I love it, but my kids are even fighting as to who gets to use it next. As many of you know, the air gets really dry in the winter time in most parts of the US, so having this little guy in your room really eliminates this problem. First of, I really like how this takes up very little space. One of my few complaints is that I wish they had made the cord a little longer to allow more flexibility when you are deciding to place it in your room. Speaking of room, my bedroom is about 600 sq. ft and it worked really nice for my wife and I. I wouldn't recommend it for rooms larger than that. Even though this Pure humidifier is small, it produces quite a bit of cool mist. You can exchange the nozzles, to produce either one or two streams of mist. The mist is really fine and it won't dampen the area around where you place it. You can control the amount of mist it produces. If you place it on high, the water will last you around 10 hours and on low it will last close to 24 hours. Another plus to this Pure humidifier is the night light option. You can change colors on the night light from blue (my favorite) to green to red. One last plus that I noticed about this humidifier that I really like is how quiet it is. Overall, I am extremely happy with this Pure Enrichment cool mist humidifier. Winter is coming, so get yours soon!

As advertised!
on November 7, 2021
Posted by: Longhorn74
from McKinney, TX
These Jabra Elite 7 active wireless noise canceling in-ear headphones perform exactly as they are advertised. To begin with, they come in a very sturdy compact case. This little case allows you to have up to 30 hours of on-the-go total charge. These Jabra headphones are very simple to pair up. All you have to do is push the buttons on both earbuds for 3 seconds and follow the voice instructions to pair to your phone. Once they are paired, the next thing you will notice is how comfortable they feel once in your ear. These Jabra Elite 7s are designed specifically for people how are active as they use them. I have had previous earbuds that produce great sound quality, but aren't comfortable or stay in your ears very well. With these Jabras, they not only produce rich powerful sound, but they also stay in your ears at all times. I also like that they are designed to be sweat and waterproof. I just recently retired a pair of earbuds from another brand that I would use during workouts or doing lawn work because one of the buds no longer works after being exposed to too much sweat. I never have to worry about that with these Jabras. To really get the most of these headphones you will need to download the Jabra Sound app. This will enable you to adjust the ANC (Active Noise Cancellation) and the hearthrough. The app will also allow you to customize your music profiles, choose your voice assistant and check your battery life. These Jabra Elite 7s have what you are looking for when purchasing your next set of headphones: Great sound quality, very comfy, and they will always stay in your ear.

Versatile, creator focused 3 in 1 laptop
on October 27, 2021
Posted by: Longhorn74
from McKinney, TX
I love this Microsoft Surface Studio laptop for many reasons. To begin with, this Surface is the epitome of versatility. It is a great 3 in 1 laptop that allows you to accomplish so much without having to go from one device to another. Previous to getting this Surface, I would go from a traditional laptop to my tablet or my PC to my tablet. Now with this Surface Studio, I am getting rid of my traditional laptop and tablet and just sticking with this Surface Studio.
When you are thinking of getting a new device, there are many things to consider. Here are some of the highlights to this Surface Studio for me:
Hardware-It has a very rigid magnesium and aluminum casing which makes this device very solid and sturdy. This is very important especially if you are thinking of having to transport this device in a backpack or bag of some kind.
It has 2 USB-C ports that are Thunderbolt 4 on one side and on the other it has a headphone jack and the Surface connect port. No SD card reader, but you can always add an SD card reader dongle.
Keys on the keyboard are clicky and the keyboard is backlit, even when you engage the trackpad.
Speakers are decent, but not great. They are decent because it can produce a pretty strong volume, but the sound quality could be better. You will notice this as you are gaming or watching a movie.
It has a nice 120 hertz refresh rate with 2400 x 1600 resolution and the webcam is 1080 p.
I am very impressed with the trackpad. It is very responsive and is very intuitive when using it.
If you are getting this Surface Studio laptop, then I highly recommend that you also purchase the Surface Slim Pen 2 to make the most of this laptop. It is very easy to write on the screen with the Pen 2 and it allows you to click and drag windows. The pen produces a small vibration that kind of simulates the feeling of writing on paper. You charge the pen under the front lip of the laptop. I like how easily the pen engages the front lip of the laptop because of the strong magnets. You don't have to worry about the pen falling or sliding off.
As I stated earlier, the biggest benefit to this laptop is the versatility it provides. You can use this laptop in 3 modes: Standard laptop, easel set up, or completely folded in a tablet set up. As you do the majority of your work on this machine, you will probably be using the standard laptop mode. This Surface Studio comes with 3X2 aspect ratio which comes in handy with taller apps and multitasking in Windows 11.
With the easel position, you pop the bottom of the screen towards you, but it doesn't cover the trackpad. This mode is ideal for watching movies, videos or playing video games. At this angle the monitor is very steady. This is important to note because this mode is great when you want to use some your apps with the touchscreen.
Finally, you have the ability to use this laptop in tablet mode. With this mode you will have full time touchscreen interaction. This laptop is heavier than your average android tablet or Ipad, but at 4 lbs you adjust to the difference. It has been nice to have a 14 inch tablet instead of a 10 inch screen. This mode is also where you would also incorporate the use of the Surface Slim Pen 2 the most. This mode is ideal for those creator focused individuals.
Overall, I am highly impressed with this new Surface Studio laptop. There is so much that you can accomplish with this laptop. You can work, be entertained or create with the same device.
