Best All-Around? Could Be!!
on August 12, 2022
Posted by: SCAntonio
context: I am not an audiophile, but recognize decent sound vs. crap. My earbud use involves activities 95% of the time- e.g. running, cycling, walking. I've tried out a lot of earbuds of all brands, shapes, sizes & price points.
JLab - Go Air Sport True Wireless Earbuds: these might just be the perfect mix of value, sound & function!! For $30, I'm just not sure what more you could ask for!
Pros:
- I'm a firm believer that no "active" earbuds are useful without the over-the-ear hook design. These have that
- $30- so my #1 concern while running in the woods doesn't have to be overwhelming fear that I may have to replace an expensive earbud
- 3 simple EQ settings that are just a tap away. I've tested various earbuds that have app-supported EQ settings- nice to have, but I really like the 3 pre-sets on the JLab - Go Air Sport True Wireless Earbuds- "Standard", "Bass Boost", "JLab Signature". Cycling through these via 3 quick taps easily finds the one that sounds best in the context (see Con on Bass Boost as well)
- Built-in USB connection in the case- it's only a couple inches long, so it may not fit or be the best for all applications, but it's a nice touch most of the time
- I made a couple of test phone calls (one to another TIN member who regularly tests earbuds) and the sound quality was very good on both ends
Cons (I didn't really find any that I cared about, but provide these as "heads up" items for those that may care)
- "Bass Boost"- this setting didn't appear to boost much of anything. If serious thumping is your thing- I'd look elsewhere
- Big case: I don't regularly walk around with the charging case in my pocket, but if I did, then I've got other earbuds with cases 25-50% smaller than the JLab - Go Air Sport True Wireless Earbuds
- yellow color: I'm no fashionista :) so I could care less about the color of my earbuds. For some settings & uses, the yellow color may or may not be the route folks want to take
Summary: For my purposes (see context), there's really nothing that the JLab - Go Air Sport True Wireless Earbuds don't deliver!!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great Mouse!
on January 26, 2022
Posted by: SCAntonio
from Virginia
I've got a general issue with being overly effusive in my praise of simple objects (e.g. mouse pads, reading glasses, computer mice...), but this little Logitech - Signature M650 Wireless Scroll Mouse impressed me from the very first moment I took it out of the box!
I also have a general issue with popularity of "unboxing". That said, Logitech actually took the time & energy to make the normally horrendous clamshell packaging really easy to open (see picture); maybe I'm too easily impressed, but this says to me that a manufacturer spent at least a few minutes to get the little stuff right- which makes me hopeful for the more important items.
I've been a long-time user of Logitech wireless mice & keyboards for both my old office & new work from home (WFH) set-ups. As such, I wasn't sure how much one could improve a mouse. Logitech did a great job making a couple key improvements that stand out:
- The dual USB/Bluetooth connectivity meant that I was able to test the Logitech - Signature M650 Wireless Scroll Mouse on my most-used WFH laptop. Had it not been for the BT option, I don't have any extra USB ports to support both my keyboard and another mouse because I can't install the software that would allow pairing a new mouse to my existing USB receiver :( Side note: I HAVE done this on my personal computer with other Logitech products and it's a very easy process to un-pair/re-pair new devices to a Logitech USB receiver- it simply requires downloading a simple tool & following a few easy steps.
- I wasn't sure why "silent clicks" would be an advantage, but I really like it! Primary reason? Stealth multi-tasking on conference & video calls- no more clicking to give you away.
The Logitech - Signature M650 Wireless Scroll Mouse is available in regular, Large & Left-Handed varieties. I got the regular size because I'm generally a size-medium sort of person. Upon receipt, I realize that I must have been using larger options all along, so pay attention to the size of what you're used to before you rush out to get a new Logitech - Signature M650 Wireless Scroll Mouse when you next need this most critical interface device!

Great So Far!
on December 10, 2021
Posted by: SCAntonio
from Lynchburg, VA
Not only does the TP-Link - Deco AX3000 (3-pack) Whole Home Mesh Wi-Fi 6 System look much nicer than your average router- e.g. alien shapes with multiple antennae- but for my set up, it has also yielded a nearly 20% boost in wifi speeds! (Note: I can't really explain why that happened & therefore can't guarantee that anyone else would see similar results!!)
The set-up was very simple and took 15-20 minutes from unboxing all the way through upgrading the firmware on the 3 units. One word of advice, make sure to unplug/turn off your old router before set up if you wish to re-use your SSID & password. I foolishly left my old unit on & changed the SSID... which then meant that I had to spend some extra time re-connecting devices- totally avoidable user error!
The primary reason I was interested in a mesh system was occasional "glitches" in my wireless signal. Because I work from home, I'm online all day long and the wifi would sometimes disconnect & then come right back on. I've not been able to track down whether that's a hiccup in the cable (source), the cable modem or the router itself, but there's been no occurrences since hooking up the TP-Link - Deco AX3000 (3-pack) Whole Home Mesh Wi-Fi 6 System... time will tell...

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.

great, lightweight, every day case
on December 7, 2021
Posted by: SCAntonio
from Lynchburg, VA
I have a much heavier & heavy duty case with keyboard that I use to take my iPad traveling, but it's WAY too bulky for just using it around the house. The LifeProof - WĀKE Series case is very lightweight and provides protection from drops & falls without adding any discernable bulk. That it's sustainable is a bonus!

"Active"?... Not Sure
on November 16, 2021
Posted by: SCAntonio
from Lynchburg, VA
Note: While I stand by my review, in consultation with various friends, there's a consensus that perhaps the shape of my ears simply presents issues with earbud-style headphones as my opinions on them are not widely shared with others. Read on...
Context: I've had the opportunity to test and try out many different types of wireless headphones. I am NOT an audiophile, but can generally recognize good sound from tinny/crappy sound. I've also developed a relatively strong feeling that using these truly wireless headphone for exercise really only makes sense if the earbuds have an over-the-ear hook to secure them. I've yet to find the earbuds that, without that hook, will securely & comfortably stay in my ear during even light activity, better yet a run or a bike ride (on a trail, only one earbud... ALWAYS make sure you can hear traffic/pedestrians!!) As I primarily use my earbuds while being active, I'd pretty much sworn off even trying/reviewing earbuds without hooks.
When the Jabra - Elite 7 Active True Wireless Noise Canceling In-Ear Headphones come out & specifically advertise that they will stay in no matter the activity with their special Shake Grip technology... well, I've got to test that!!!
The good:
- They did stay in better than any non-hook-having earbuds I've ever tried
- Jabra makes very good sounding earbuds with deep bass & rich tones
- They were very comfortable!
- The accompanying app works well. I've not found apps to be a critical selling point, but it is nice to have & play with sometimes
- The ANC works! This has not been my experience with all earbuds having ANC
- For use at the office or in a relatively calm setting, I'll grab these earbuds to use!
The less good:
- I still wouldn't them on a run or bike ride (my most frequent activities); 1) I don't want to spend any time while doing this feeling like my earbuds are going to fall out & I still found myself doing that, even while just walking! 2) I really, really don't want to worry about losing one or both of >$150 set of earbuds out on a trail somewhere!
Thus, my 3-stars does NOT mean that these aren't as good or better than any number of other earbuds, but when you specifically advertise that they'll stay in no matter what and they don't... well, I can't give that the best rating.
I also would, conceivably recommend these regardless, so long as one either weren't going to be doing hard core activity and/or doesn't at all share my relatively persistent issues with earbuds coming out.

Outstanding WFH Monitor!
on November 4, 2021
Posted by: SCAntonio
from Lynchburg, VA
When I began my Work From Home (WFH) adventure in the spring of 2020, I was using a work-supplied monitor and my laptop screen to accomplish a dual-monitor set up. It worked well enough, but the 14" laptop screen was pretty puny next to a 22" monitor and required flipping back & forth between glasses/no glasses and/or swapping applications between the screens to best use the bigger monitor. Eventually, I was able to get a second, larger monitor and not use the laptop at all, BUT that required a proliferation of cords & accessories- a dual-monitor-capable USB hub, a separate webcam (since I was keeping the laptop closed & out of the way) and muffled audio (since I was keeping the laptop closed & out of the way).
And then along comes the Dell - 24" IPS LED FHD FreeSync Compatible Monitor!! I now have two, 24" displays and:
- got rid of the separate webcam because of the built-in microphone and camera on the Dell - 24" IPS LED FHD FreeSync Compatible Monitor
- have vastly improved audio because of the Dell's built in 5W speakers
- eliminated BOTH the laptop power cord & a 2nd HDMI cable because the Dell plugs into a power-enabled USB-C port that both charges & communicates with the laptop.
All in all, I've got a MUCH nicer set-up with fewer cables, better viewing, & better audio! If you're making a WFH upgrade- the Dell - 24" IPS LED FHD FreeSync Compatible Monitor is the one you want!

Simple & Exactly What I Expected
on October 26, 2021
Posted by: SCAntonio
from Lynchburg, VA
I simply wanted to see packages being delivered and verify that they stayed there until I got home to get them. As an added bonus, I can ignore unwanted guests :)
The Blink Video Doorbell was very easy to set up and I like that as my living situation changes, I can add more cameras as my security needs expand!
My set up is not connected to other cameras or an existing doorbell- simply mounted to my front door frame to capture doorbell pushes and motion.
For the price, awfully hard to beat

OK... Which May Not Be Good Enough
on October 7, 2021
Posted by: SCAntonio
from Lynchburg, VA
I've had an opportunity to review several sets of earbuds over the last couple years. I'm not an audiophile by any means, but I know what sounds good, I know the features that I enjoy, etc.
These JVC - Marshmallow+ True Wireless In-Ear Headphones seem to be "Average" & in a packed & competitive field, I'm not sure that's what JVC wants!
Pros: they pair easily, they sound good, the case is nice & similar to many others. The $60 price point (at time of review) means I'm not freaking out if I lose them
Cons: sketchy microphone (relatively common with earbuds across the board in my experience). My biggest issue was the fit/confidence of the fit. I'm generally a "medium" eartip user- it took me trying several tips- both silicone and the memory foam tips- to get good fit in each ear and I still wasn't satisfied that these were going to stay in. I was also disappointed in the memory foam tips- I expected them to seal better & block out ambient noise better.
Summary: not bad, but I've tried many I prefer at similar price points.

At This Price, You CAN NOT Go Wrong!
on October 6, 2021
Posted by: SCAntonio
from Lynchburg, VA
Context: I've tested a lot of wireless earbuds. I'm not an audiophile- I enjoy features like ANC & accompanying apps, but haven't always found them to be overly useful or even necessary.
These JLab - GO Air POP earphones: sound very good, fit very well, stay in better than many I've used at many times the cost, have all the touch functions and I don't have to worry about taking out a loan to replace them should something unfortunate happen!! All that and a built in charging USB charging plug- why can't everyone offer this?!?
The only downside I found was the mic quality- I was told on a couple of test calls that there was quite a bit of background noise or that I sounded like I was in a well. That said, I have the same feedback sometimes when folks are using MUCH more expensive earbuds/pods/over-the-ear set-ups. I also don't regularly take calls while I'm wearing headphones, so I'm not sure I mind.
Summary: great price, solid headphones!

Simple, Effective, Inexpensive
on October 6, 2021

from Lynchburg, VA
If you pick this up and think it will do all that a $250 percussion massager will do, then you may be disappointed. if you grab it as a very simple, portable and uncomplicated option to work on target areas as needed- I'm not sure how you can go wrong!
It caught my eye given a couple bouts of plantar fasciitis. I've always found rolling my foot over a ball to be quite effective- add some vibration- POW! For targeted leg & back massage, experimenting with the ball using the enclosed notes leads me to believe that will work well as well.

are these used for talking also or just listing to music for head phones

They do have a microphone and I've been pleased that using them has elicited many fewer questions about whether I'm standing in a well as I take phone calls :)
