Adds a cool ambience when gaming
on October 24, 2021
Posted by: Longhorn74

I love the new ambience this Corsair smart lighting strip brings to my gaming room. First of all, this is very easy to set up and install on your gaming monitor. This kit comes with everything you need in order to get this up and running on the back of your monitor. No extra tools are necessary, which is always nice. I would recommend you do a little planning, before you start putting on the adhesives because they really stick to the surface and it will be very difficult to readjust them. Once we had everything planned, the actual installation took a little less than 15 minutes. I would have liked a couple of extra spare connectors to better secure the lights. Once everything was secure, the fun really began. I highly recommend that you download the iCue software to customize the lighting patterns. You have so many options on this app, that I would say this is where I spent the most time, which is not a complaint, but it just took some time to figure out what I wanted to do with my new light show. Once everything is up and running, this Corsair lighting strip brought a new ambience to my gaming experience. It definitely gets your creative juices flowing.

Great video quality and easy to install!
on October 3, 2021
Posted by: Longhorn74
from McKinney, TX
This is my first video doorbell and I am very happy with it. To begin with they give you just about everything you need to install the doorbell. I have a brick entry, so I had to get a special drill bit to make the holes for the bracket, otherwise you will have everything needed to install. Even though this is a battery powered doorbell, I wanted to wire it to the existing wires. I like the option of relying on the battery or have it wired. I thought that wiring might be an issue since my old doorbell is over 20 years old, but it wasn't. To hook up the doorbell, all I had to do was connect the 2 existing wires to the back of the Nest doorbell. So the bottom line on installation is that it was very easy and quick.
As far as managing this Nest doorbell, you will need the Google Home app. Navigating the app is fairly easy even for folks who aren't too tech savvy. From the app you can control activity zones, face detection, event history (allows you to choose which events appear in the history), motion, quick responses which are announced to the people at the door, video quality, night vision, audio, notifications and battery life (if it isn't connected). Overall impression is that is very user friendly.
The video quality on this Nest doorbell is very clean. Even though it produces 960p, the resolution is very impressive because of HDR. With HDR you can clearly see what is happening and recognize objects with better accuracy. This Nest doorbell produces images that are colorful and clear. With the vertical FOV, it allows you to see your visitors head to toe, including packages that are placed as close as 8" from the doorbell.
Like I said earlier, this is my first video doorbell and overall I am very impressed. I really like the flexibility of being wired or relying on the battery, it is very easy to install and the video quality is excellent. If you are looking into getting a new doorbell for your home, I highly recommend this Nest doorbell.

This Mr. Coffee 14-Cup Programmable Coffee Maker with Reusable Filter and Advanced Water Filtration gets the job done. It is very easy to set up, which is always nice. This coffee maker is one that would work at home or you can take it to work, which nowadays with more people working from home, this coffee maker has features that makes using it at home while you work more convenient. I really like the stainless steel look with black as it fits well in our black and white kitchen. As I stated earlier, it is very easy to set up and start using. The directions are easy to follow and the options are explained very well. I love how this coffee maker is very versatile. I can use it when I have more people at my home or I can use it when it is just my wife and I drinking coffee. One of the features that I really enjoy and have noticed makes a difference in our coffee is the filtration system. This is the first coffee maker that I have owned that comes with this feature and I can taste the difference. I have also enjoyed using the Brew later function. I have my routine in the morning and using this feature ensures that my coffee is ready when I am ready, plus it is very easy to set up. Even on the weekends, I am an early riser, but my wife isn't. This isn't an issue because this coffee maker will keep your coffee nice and toasty for a good 4 hours. Overall, I am very pleased with this Mr. Coffee programmable coffee maker.

This Instant Air Purifier really works. I was kind of skeptical because of the small size, but this little guy has made a big difference in the way I breathe. I have it placed next to my bed and I can honestly say that I am not as stuffy as I used to be. This Instant Air Purifier is very easy to set up, so in no time it will start working to clean the air around you. It has different modes that you can easily adjust. It has 3 fan speeds and depending on how sensitive you are to noise at night, you will hardly notice it. I usually keep mine at the second level at night and I crank it up to 3 during the day. It does come with an eco mode that runs super quiet. Overall, I am very impressed with this Instant Air Purifier, because it does a great job of cleaning the air around you to the point where you will notice a difference. If you are looking for a small air purifier, I highly recommend this one.

Discover a whole new level of immersion that envelops you in 7.1.2 channel surround sound with multiple speakers, a built-in subwoofer and advanced audio technologies. And with rear speakers it supports 360 Spatial Sound Mapping.

This Sony HT-A7000 soundbar brought my media room back to life. I previously had a Samsung soundbar with a subwoofer, but after I replaced it with this Sony soundbar, subwoofer and rear speakers I look forward to watching a movie in my media room again. I have even gone back to watching movies I had previously seen to enjoy the fresh new sound that is produced by this soundbar. To begin with, it is extremely easy to set up. Depending on how you have your tv set up, you can either place the soundbar on your tv stand or you can mount the soundbar under the tv as it comes with wall mounting brackets. It also comes with an HDMI cable to connect it to your tv and a remote to make the necessary adjustments as you calibrate your system. If you purchase the subwoofer and rear speakers that go with this soundbar, you won't be disappointed as it completes the full movie theatre experiences. All of it is very easy to set up and connect and sync up to the subwoofer and rear speakers. You can also connect your gaming system to this subwoofer using another HDMI cable or opitcal digital cable. You can also listen to music using the bluetooth feature. The sound that this soundbar and system produces is very high quality, you will not be disappointed with this purchase. If you are looking to replace an old system, then I highly recommend this Sony soundbar, it will make you enjoy watching movies again.

Power up your home theater system with the booming bass of the SA-SW5 wireless subwoofer, designed to pair seamlessly with your HT-A9/A7000/A5000/A3000 Soundbar to deliver an immersive cinematic experience.

This Sony subwoofer is powerful! This subwoofer connects to the Sony HT-A7000 soundbar flawlessly. All you have to do is plug in the power cord and it will sync in automatically with the soundbar. It has a redlight that will turn green once they are synced. If you want to really hear the thuds while you are watching a movie, then you really got to get this subwoofer, because it really brings the bass. I have had many subwoofers from Samsung and Klipsch, but this Sony really outduels them. If you really want the home theatre experience, then you really need to get this Sony subwoofer, I highly recommend it.

Great addition to the soundbar system

This pair of mini rear speakers are a great add on to the A7000 Sony Soundbar system. They are about 6 inches in height and 3.5 in width. These speakers really complete the set as they provided that true surround sound to your tv set up. Just like anything, these speakers have pros and cons, but there are more pros in my opinion. Let's start with the good stuff. To begin with, they are extremely easy to set up. The set up is wireless and it will sync up with the soundbar very easy. One thing you have to watch out for, make sure these speakers are compatible with the HT-A7000 soundbar. This caution is given to you in the first paragraph of the owner's manuel. If you are into watching many movies, then adding these speakers will make a difference as you get to enjoy those extra background sounds that are often missed without these types of speakers. Each speaker comes with a 6 foot power cord. You can mount these speakers, but since they don't come with real lengthy cords, it is highly recommended that you mount them too high as you will lose some of that surround sound. They are simplistic in their design, but they definitely look good. I like that they are small because depending on your set up, you can easily hide them from view. Overall, if you are going to invest in the Sony HT-A7000 soundbar, you might as well complete the set and get the mini surround sound speakers to really get that movie theatre sound in your home.

This Turtle Beach wired Recon controller is a difference maker when it comes to gaming. I own an Xbox, but maybe because I am older, I prefer to play most of my games on a PC, so that it was what I have primarily used this controller on. The only drawback to using this controller on a PC is that you can't utilize the chat mix feature, but it works perfectly fine on the Xbox. When you pull it out of the box, you will immediately feel how sturdy and well put together this controller is, so you know that you aren't getting some cheap knockoff. At the same time it isn't this heavy paperweight. Once it is out of the box, all you have to do is plug and get to gaming. A nice feature of this type of controller is that you don't have to worry about keeping it charged, since it is wired. As soon as you get a new controller, you always spend time getting adjusted for the feel of the controller. When you do that with this Recon controller, you immediately notice the cooling grips make this controller feel really comfortable in your hands.
What really sets this Turtle Beach Recon controller apart is the Pro-aim focus feature and the superhuman hearing. The Pro-aim focus feaure is one of the two mappable buttons. This feature will give you an advantage with long-range accuracy. The other difference maker is the Superhuman hearing feature. This feature will give you an audio advantage when it comes to hearing quiet footsteps and even when an opponent reloads their weapon. Overall, you can't go wrong with going with this Turtle Beach wired Recon controller. If you are looking to purchase a new controller that will make a difference in your gaming I highly recommend this one.

Very versatile and a great value!

I have had this Logitech G335 wired gaming headset for a little over a week and they are awesome. The first thing you will notice when you pull them out of the box is how light weight they are. Once you put them on your head you will really notice how light weight they really are. It comes with a nice reversible soft adjustable strap to ensure they fit comfortably on your head. Speaking of comfortable, this headset also comes with soft memory foad earpads. This really helps when I sit down to game 3 to 4 hours at a time. With this Logitech G335 there is no app to download, all you do is plug in the 3.5 mm audio jack and you are ready to play! The volume controler is located right on the ear cup for quick access. I like how I can easily mute just by simply flipping up the mic. There are two main determining factors that help you decide on a gaming headset: comfort and sound. I have already talked about how comfortable they are on my head and ears, but for this price range, these G335 deliver excellent sound. They come with 40 mm neodymium drivers that really deliver crisp, clear audio. Another plus that I really like about this Logitech G335 gaming headset is that I can use them on my PC and Playstation 5. There are some headsets that limit you to either a PC or a specific gaming console, but not this headset. Overall, I am extremely pleased that I got this gaming headset. I highly recommend this headset if you are looking to get a versatile headset at a reasonable price.
