Innovation with useful features and amazing sound
on April 3, 2019
Posted by: Grouticus

As we all know, the market is oversaturated with wireless Bluetooth speakers in all shapes and sizes. Kudos to Sony for stepping up to create something innovative with features that incorporate what many people, including myself, might find useful. While using most Bluetooth speakers, I noticed I would typically take them with me when I was heading to the park, a friend/family member's house for a barbecue, or on a road trip. The one thing I found that most portable speakers lacked is deep bass or loud enough sound. I definitely no longer need to worry about that with the Sony PG10 Portable Bluetooth Outdoor Speaker as they designed and optimized it for outdoor use.
After unpacking it and upon first look, the speaker, which is a title that doesn't do it justice, might be a little intimidating due to its aggressive box shaped look. However, don't be fooled by its size or Transformer-like top shelf. It was surprisingly light considering its size and easy enough to carry around with the side handles. It has most of the basic features you would find on any Bluetooth speaker including wireless connection, on/off, volume up/down, etc. It also includes a built in FM tuner with a retractable antenna, audio input, microphone input, microphone volume up/down, and a USB port for music or powering/charging a device. The functions are shown on a scrolling display. It has a button for mega bass which I'll definitely be leaving on most of the time. If you fold out the top shelves, the tweeters fire upwards producing much wider sound which comes in handy outdoors. It claims to have a 13 hour charge time and I'm sure that fluctuates depending on how loud you have the speaker set and whether you are using the USB port to power or charge a device. That being said, I'm sure it's good at a party for several hours unplugged. It also has an option to attach it to a tripod to use as a monitor speaker for events or karaoke. The speaker is splash proof if you plan on using the built in cup holders or top shelf. It was very easy to pair the speaker with my smartphone via the Bluetooth and by downloading the Sony apps you can control the speaker and stream music using other streaming services.
Even given all the innovative features they put into this box, the incredible sound is what stood out the most. The Digital Sound Processor (DSP) automatically adapts audio settings to optimize performance for both indoor and outdoor environments. The music is crystal clear and loud in both the compact and expanded shelf options. I attempted to turn it all the way up indoors, which was way too loud, and the music remained clear without distortion.
Given all these features, I would recommend the Sony PG10 Outdoor Speaker to anyone in the market for a well made, great sounding speaker.

Extreme comfort with crystal clear sound
on March 20, 2019

from Roseville, CA, USA
I have used several different headphones for gaming, all from high end name brand companies but never from Turtle Beach for any specific reason. I was really looking forward to the latest creation from Turtle Beach to compare and see what the hype is all about. Upon opening the attractively packaged headphones, the headphones and amp were very well protected which was a great introduction to how much thought they put into these headphones.
After unloading everything from the box, it was very easy to figure out how everything needed to be set up. You simply plug the USB cord into your Xbox console or Windows 10 PC, connect that to the provided amp and volume control, and then plug the audio cable into the amp and then into the headphones. For certain audio controls you’ll need to download the smartphone Turtle Beach app and connect the amp/headphones wirelessly via Bluetooth to your smartphone. The instructions ask you to change the settings in your Xbox/PC audio settings but they still worked without having to do that. My main concern before opting for these is that they are still wired to your console. Depending on how far away you are sitting from your display, that could be an issue. The cables provided offer about 15 feet from your source to the headset which was perfect for my 120” projector set up with the exception of the placement of the amp which I’ll talk about later.
I decided to test the amp and headphones on a AAA game I have been playing using two other sets of high end headphones. I will say they are by far the most comfortable headphones I’ve ever worn and didn’t need to be adjusted for head size like other brands. They also didn’t press too firmly on my ears causing discomfort, provided a lot of cushion and even felt cold while I was wearing them.

The comfort is not the best part of these headphones; the sound is amazing! I’ve been playing this same AAA game for months and, after using these headphones the first time, heard more detailed sound than I have ever heard in the past. I thought the use of the amp was underwhelming and did not notice the sound being much louder, if any at all, compared to plugging the audio cable straight into the controller. I also found it someone inconvenient to have to adjust the volume on either the amp, which was too far away with my set up, or on my smart phone's app; I personally prefer the audio adjustment on the headset or the controller.
My main issue, which isn’t held against Turtle Beach in this review, is third party manufacturers have to make separate headphones for each console because of their peripheral restrictions. It would be nice if every console manufacturer were on the same page so companies could produce one product that could be used for the PS4, Xbox, Switch, etc. Until then, you can still wire the headphones using the audio cable to your controller, audio out, etc.
All things considered, I still consider these the best headphones I have used for gaming because of the comfort and amazing sound. I would recommend these to anyone in the market for perhaps one of the best, if not the best, headphones on the market.

Durable, flexible and worth every penny
on March 15, 2019
Posted by: Grouticus
from Roseville, CA, USA
It's always a tough choice deciding on sticking with original manufactured parts or going aftermarket because many companies tend to make better products for their own devices. After using the Belkin Duratek Plus Lightning Cable, I'm actually more comfortable with trying aftermarket products after going through so many OEM lightning cables after they fray and come apart or just stop working for one reason or another. This Belkin Duratek cable is made with much more durable Aramid fiber and feels like it should last much longer. The braided material used on the Belkin Duratek cable is flexible and protects the cables much more than rubber or plastic. Over the years I've noticed it's the ends of the cables that mainly have issues with eventually coming apart or the connectors themselves get corroded. Belkin re-engineered these cables to prevent strain relief on the ends and used laser-welded connectors to resist breakage. They also included a leather strap for the cable which was a pleasant surprise.They back their claims with a five year limited warranty which is great for piece of mind as I'm usually shopping for a new cable after about a year of regular use. I recommend this for anyone in the market for a better cable, perhaps one of the best on the market, for years of use for your Apple products and even though the price may be a little more expensive up front, it should pay you back in the long run since you won't be out shopping cables a year from now... unless, of course, you let a friend borrow it and they don't give it back.

High quality baby monitor and sleep tracker
on February 28, 2019
Posted by: Grouticus
from Roseville, CA, USA
The Nanit Plus baby monitor features many useful options to help monitor and track the quality of your baby’s sleep and might recommend the monthly subscription although it's not necessary.
The Nanit Plus was easy and relatively fast to set up; should only take the average person about 10-15 minutes. It comes with a long USB cord to supply it power and plugs into an included wall AC adapter. You will need to download the Nanit app and create a Nanit account with user name and password in order to complete set up. The app will take you through the steps to finish the installation of your Nanit camera to your WiFi network. The on-screen color coded boxes and shapes help position the camera near the crib correctly.
Once it's set up, the Nanit app will send a notification to your phone when it hears noise. It will also record video of movement and send it to their cloud for viewing. Depending on your network and phone, there might be a longer delay from having to open the app and wait for the camera feed to load, like any wifi camera device. The Nanit has a beautiful picture, probably the best I have seen from a baby monitor however that may be due to the phone you are using as well. It also has a temperature and humidity display.
One of the main things that will set this device apart from other baby monitors is that it also does a great job of tracking your baby's sleep if you opt for the monthly subscription...think a high end step tracker but for your baby's sleep. The Nanit will track your baby’s sleep habits for you, and it does a good job recording most things. If you put your baby into the crib before the baby is asleep, the app will track how long it took before the baby falls asleep and will track how long the baby slept. To go even further, it will track how many times a parent went in to check on the baby as long as they're in the camera’s view. But wait, there's more! The Nanit app will show you a heat map of where your baby slept each night. After compiling all the data that the camera and app can track it will give you a rating on how well your baby is sleeping...
I believe this is a much better option that some of the competition that uses other devices, such as a sock or pad, to track your baby's movement as it is not as invasive. I was really impressed by the amount of features the Nanit has. Although the price may seem much higher than other baby monitors that don't do a fraction of what this one is capable of doing, I would consider it an investment on the most important thing in your life, your own children. I would recommend opting for the month subscription to unlock all of it's potential and understand that you'll probably only use it for the first year or so until they are old enough not to worry about monitoring everything.

Remove hair without wax or razors using the Lumilisse by Conair hair removal device. Rapid pulses of intense light help prevent hair regrowth, delivering permanent results with consistent use. The FDA-cleared device uses sensors to safely activate. Choose between continuous mode for large areas or manual mode to target specific trouble spots.

Posted by: Grouticus
from Roseville, CA, USA
Having gone through professional laser hair removal in the past, my wife and I have been looking forward to this in home option Conair has come up with to potentially save us some time and money. Let me start off by saying the packaging and device itself appear high quality perhaps leading consumers to believe they are getting a high quality product. It was easy for us to understand the instructions and the set up was very simple. It is a plug in device, not wireless, and it comes with two heads, one for your body and one for sensitive areas and your face. If you have ever received laser hair removal from a licensed professional, you know that it can be painful using the high intensity laser; this Lumilisse IPL Hair Remover is not painful at all but does cause a slight tingling sensation when the light flashes which you get used to after using it the first time. After adjusting the button on the side to my skin tone, I started off by using it on my body using the provided attachment and found it a little frustrating because you really need to ensure the device is seated directly on the skin otherwise it will not flash. I found that if you lift it off your skin and put it back down it seems to help with that by perhaps resetting the sensor. One of the other things I found frustrating is that in order to know whether it is properly pressed against the skin and ready to flash, you have to be able to see the green light on the back of the device flash before it will work; the problem is, depending on the area you are trying to use it on, you may not be able to view the green light so it becomes trial and error. One thing that concerns me is the device is made of plastic, understandably so, therefore you have to be careful when using it over a hard surface in the event you drop it, which fortunately I haven't done yet; my concern is that it may break the device or shatter the bulb which I believe you can't replace. Conair claims that the bulb provided should last 300,000 flashes which should last a very long time and you might not ever need to replace it. After using this device for a few weeks and approximately 20 treatments in the same area, my wife and I personally have not noticed much of a change in the amount of hair growth in those areas. Both my wife and I have fair skin and dark hair in the areas we have been using it on. Needless to say, so far we have been unimpressed however we will continue to use it in hopes that it is just a really slow process. If you are looking for immediate results, a better option may be to fork out the additional money and go to a professional with a more powerful laser hair removal machine.

Strong, great tasting coffee with a latte options
on November 11, 2018
Posted by: Grouticus
from Roseville, CA, USA
Having used a few different Keurig machines over the years, I was curious what they could possibly do different or better to appeal to people who may not already own one (get yourself out of the cave you live in) or want to upgrade like myself. At first, I was a little concerned because this special edition model doesn’t have the digital screen with the clock and all the touch screen bells and whistles. After using it, I realized all the options that come along with the digital screen weren’t necessities and really only complicated simple, good coffee making. The previous digital screen was also one of the reasons for the upgrade because it seemed like it was about to go out; with this model I’ll hope to never have to worry about those issues. Now to the coffee itself and something else I was sceptical about; what could Keurig do to make my coffee taste any better. Well, somehow they figured that out and added great options to make lattes and cappuccinos, both iced and hot. The first simple cup of coffee I made I decided to try out the “Strong” button in a 10 oz cup. I had no idea that whatever they changed on their machine would make that much of a difference but it does. My coffee tasted amazing but was a little too strong for my wife’s taste; she chose the regular brew in a 12 oz cup and said it was more to her liking. The next day I wanted to test out the espresso option and make an iced latte. I went to the store hunting for espresso K-cups but unfortunately couldn’t find them so I settled for a bold tasting coffee to see if it would emulate espresso. I selected the “Latte & Capp” button and brewed a shot of coffee while the frother did it’s magic on my cold milk. After a few pumps of syrup, I poured the shot of dark coffee over some ice, added the cold frothed milk and voila, I had a perfectly crafted iced latte right in my own kitchen without the mess of espresso grounds and very little clean up. Needless to say, I have hung up my barista apron and retired both my espresso machine and old Keurig machine; they were both replaced by this one machine taking up much less counter space and I can already see money going back into my pocket making less trips to the over-priced coffee shops. Thank you Keurig for continuing to make a better product, one which produces a better tasting cup of coffee and additional options to play with and impress my better half.

Incredible Bose sound with Alexa Voice control
on November 6, 2018
Posted by: Grouticus
from Roseville, CA, USA
I’ve been looking for a replacement and upgrade for my first generation Alexa speaker and found exactly what I wanted and more in the Bose Home Speaker 500 with Amazon Alexa Voice Control. Sure, the price may not be in the range of most of the competition but, after hearing the sound this little machine can do, you definitely get what you pay for. I want to start off by reviewing my favorite feature of this device… the sound! I was really taken back by the sound this device produces; it’s almost overwhelming and can fill up most medium to large areas. I’ve barely been able to turn it up past half way and you can hear the deep bass sound that you would expect from Bose through several rooms in our house. Bose finally incorporated Amazon’s Alexa capabilities into their devices, including this speaker, activated and synced through their Bose Music app. The microphones are easily able to identify my voice controls without having to yell at it while music is playing. You can also sync other streaming music options such as Spotify, TuneIn and Pandora. Syncing everything during the initial set up was easy and self-explanatory; I had music playing with voice controls within about five to ten minutes from taking the device out of the box. The speaker also has bluetooth capabilities and an auxiliary input for you to plug in any other devices. One fun thing, but doesn’t serve much purpose, is the tiny front display that shows album art which is also mirrored in your smartphone’s app. The presets on the top of the device came in handy for setting streaming radio station presets. The Bose Music app provides some simple additional sound options to adjust the bass and treble. Overall Bose provides an amazing, and must needed, upgrade to the Alexa line of products with incredible sound.

A must have for home automation and Google AI
on November 2, 2018
Posted by: Grouticus
from Roseville, CA, USA
The new Google Home Hub is a welcome addition to the Google family of products and, in typical Google fashion, they have created a great entry level option for a stationary smart device with a screen. The screen itself looks great but may seem a little small, about the size of a 5” X 7” picture frame, if you’re placing it in a large open space however that means it also doesn't take up too much space. That may also be one of its downfalls because the speaker is not exactly loud but it’s functional. It seems to pick up voices fairly easy and works great to control your home devices, play music services and even play any movies linked to your Google account. It syncs easily with their phones, or anything running on Android OS, along with a long list of third party devices including light switches, bluetooth devices, etc. that you can set up in their Google Home app. Even with the small screen and speaker, placing this in an area, such as kitchen or bedroom, serves a great purpose to ask questions, read the news and watch YouTube DIY videos for just about anything. I think the best part about this is the fact that it is made by Google using their software and AI which, in my opinion, is superior to others in this market. That being said, I really think this is a must have device if you are planning on automating your home and integrating your devices with Google products.

GoPro sets the bar once again for action cams
on September 27, 2018
Posted by: Grouticus
from Roseville, CA, USA
Once again the folks at GoPro have continued to push the limit and set the bar for compact action cameras. Although there isn't much change you can see on paper compared to previous models, you can clearly see noticeable change on videos due to the image stability software they have in the new GoPro Hero 7. The video is so smooth it's almost surreal and looks like it was shot by a professional photographer. Like most GoPro Hero models, the touchscreen is fairly simple to maneuver and responsive to touch. There are many options you can choose from for recording and capturing images including video quality, frame rate, low light, etc. It's great that you no longer need a waterproof housing to take a dip and record some sweet snorkeling pics and having a photo timer and time lapse option are also added benefits to play with. Another great thing about them not changing the physical camera too dramatically over the past two models is most, if not all, of the old accessories still work with this model since it is the same size including the housing and mounting accessories and the GoPro Karma grip. It was very easy and fast to sync this with my GoPro account and app in order to view, upload and edit content, view live feed and use the new live streaming option. The camera and all of it's abilities make me feel like I should be twenty years younger and become a stunt man... and then reality sets in that I'm just a boring husband and father that uses it to capture amazing family moments without risking my life. In any case, you won't find a better action camera on the market with so many fun things to use it for and I highly recommend it to any real dare devils so I can live vicariously through them when watching the GoPro channel.

Good sound with compatibility for all
on August 3, 2018
Posted by: Grouticus
from Roseville, CA, USA
The downfall to wireless gaming headsets is manufacturers have different models to accomodate for separate gaming systems. One of the things I love most about the Logitech G PRO wired surround sound gaming headset is they are compatible with all major gaming platforms. They have a very crisp and deep bass sound to them and fit comfortably over my ears with a few minor adjustments. The surround sound they provide is compatable with Windows Sonic and Dolby Atmos features for Windows 10. They may not come with a fancy stand like some competitors but they do come with an auxillary splitter for systems with a separate mic output and also extra ear cushions. For the great sound, price and compatibility, I would say these should be a strong competitor by a reputable company and be taken into serious consideration if you're in the market for a gaming headset.

When spills happen, the Braava jet m6 robot is always on call—ready to head to the spot and take them on. Just say to Google Assistant or Alexa, “Have Braava mop in front of the kitchen counter”, and it heads out and gets to work. Always learning your home and your cleaning habits, it can offer customized schedules that work around your life—even suggesting extra cleanings during pollen season. Using Precision Jet Spray, it loosens dirt and sticky messes without spraying furniture, rugs, or walls—all without any effort from you, making your mopping tasks a thing of the past. *(Alexa and all related logos are trademarks of Amazon.com or its affiliates.

How do you keep it from going on your carpets from a tile floor?
It should sense that it's no longer on a hard floor and go in reverse. I would suggest picking up any rugs before you set it to clean so it cleans under the rugs.

Keep your head in the game with this Logitech G Pro headset. Its leatherette ear pads isolate surrounding noises to keep you focused, and its featherlight construction minimizes pressure for longer wear. This Logitech G Pro headset's microphone has a wide frequency response and low signal-to-noise ratio for improved communication with teammates and opponents.
Do I have to get a splitter for this or no?
No, they come with an auxiliary splitter if you have a separate mic auxiliary out on your rig.
