Great for gaming, work, and chilling at home
on August 5, 2022
Posted by: dlowen
When it comes to gaming peripherals Logitech is one of my favorite brands. Although I am constantly trying out new products, I continue to gravitate towards Logitech keyboards, mice, and head sets. There is something about them that is just premium.
This Logitech headset is no different. I was looking for a headset mostly for gaming but that I could also use on conference calls for work and listen to music. One thing I love about Logitech is that they include everything you need in the box. This headset comes with a nice carrying bag, a USB charger, and a USB dongle in case you do not have Bluetooth. They even include a USB to USB-C adapter which is awesome. This headset is a bigger over the ear headset and you would expect it to be heavier. That is by no means the case. When I put them on the first time, I was shocked at just how light they felt on my head. This is necessary when you are gaming for hours. They are made high quality plastic and soft comfortable material around the ears and headband. They are possible one of the most comfortable headsets that I have every used. Another nice feature is that the microphone flips into the body of the headset and is completely out of the way when you do not need it.
This headset has a battery life of 18-20 hours depending on what you are doing which is plenty of time to use them all day long for work and play. When I had them connected to my phone via Bluetooth, they sounded amazing. They had just the right amount of bass and offered crisp and clear audio. In my tests of the microphone, it sounds great as well. It did a great job of filtering out background noise in a noisy environment. My only small complaint is that for some reason when playing call of duty on a PC, I could not get the headset to be very loud. It was loud enough but not as loud as I normally like it. It is possible that I had something messed up in the settings or that I need to download the software to go along with the headset. But outside of that game they sounded just fine.
If you are looking for a headset that you can game, use for work, and use just to listen to music or watch movies, I would highly recommend this one. It is compatible with any type of devices as well which makes it one of the best.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great noise cancelling earbuds for the price
on May 29, 2022
Posted by: dlowen
There are so many options one the market when it comes to choosing good Bluetooth earbuds. When it comes to noise cancelling there are less options but it can still be a tough choice. These earbuds are great noise canceling earbuds but they do have a few drawbacks which might not matter to some people.
First is the design. They come in a complete recycle paper box and packaging. I believe the earbuds themselves might also be made out of recycled materials. They have a very rugged feel to them which is great if you are someone who would like to use them outdoors. One issue I have with some in ear headphones is that they do not fit well. This is NOT the case with these headphones. They fit extremely well and can be a little confusing at first to get in your ear. Once you figure that out, they fit great and have a good seal which I believe helps with the overall noise canceling. They come with different size tips so that they can fit a variety of different ear sizes. They do not stick far out of your ears either. The charging case is compact and light weight which means that you can easily carry them in your pocket.
One of the most important things with any headphones is sound quality. I believe that is one thing that sets these apart from other headphones is that they sound quality is great. Sony is known to have really high-quality sounding headphones. I believe the noise canceling helps because it drowns out any exterior sounds and you can listen to the crisp and clear audio quality. One downside to these is that the microphone quality when on a phone call is less than ideal. It will work if you are in a pinch but I would not recommend using them for phone calls all the time as the quality is not that great.
The noise cancelling on these is pretty good. I believe one of the reasons is because of the design and they really seal off your ears. They do have the ability to tap one side and you can hear the noise from your surroundings. This feature works but it also is not as good as some other headphones. I have used some headphones that it is hard to even tell you have headphones in which is not the case with these.
Overall, there are a lot of things these headphones do great. I think if you are looking for a budget friendly pair of noise cancelling earbuds these could be the ones for you. For someone who is active and wants to use them for running as an example I believe these headphones would be great since they also have water/sweat resistance.

Perfect if you are trying to add to your family
on February 14, 2022
Posted by: dlowen
As you get older it can become harder to conceive children. It can also be more difficult in the planning process if you already have other children. That being said being able to track yours or your partners cycle is the best way to plan a pregnancy. My wife and I are currently trying to have a child and we wanted to try this out to see if it would help us.
Apps that track your cycle have been around a long time and so have ovulation tests. The nice thing about the Pearl Fertility kit is that it combines them both and allows you to import the tests right into the app itself. The kit also includes two pregnancy tests so that you are able to confirm whether or not you are pregnant.
There are a couple downsides to this kit but they are not deal breakers. One is that it only includes enough strips for one cycle. Currently best buy is not selling additional strips and you can purchase them elsewhere but it is not as convenient. Another downside is that the app itself is not a good as some other standalone tracking apps. That being said it has one big advantage in that you import the actual test strips instead of the app guessing your ovulation days.
Overall, if you are trying to get pregnant and whatever you have been doing is not working I believe this kit will help you to at least be able to confirm when you are ovulating and use the pregnancy test to confirm if you are pregnant or not.

Serta Sheep Dreams 12" Medium Antimicrobial* Gel Memory Foam Mattress-In-A-Box

Great Memory Foam Mattress
on February 11, 2022
Posted by: dlowen
from Tacoma, Wa
The last 4 mattresses I have owned have been Sertas. That is to say I believe they make some of the most comfortable and high-quality mattresses. This mattress is different in that it comes folded up in a box.
The first thing I would like to mention is the unboxing experience. The fact that it comes folded up in a box means that it is easier to transport to wherever you are going to put it. Rather than having to use a truck to pick it up you can put it in the back seat of a car or in the cargo area. If you have to transport it up stairs or into a tight space this also makes it much easier. Once you get it in the room you want, you can just carefully cut open the bag and as the air gets in it will start to take its normal shape.
Comfort is one of the biggest things when it comes to any bed. I personally have back problems and I prefer a medium firmness. One of my favorite parts about this bed and something you notice right away is that when you sit on it, it doesn’t sink in like a normal mattress. Instead it will slowly take shape to you body. After sleeping on this mattress for a little over a week I am waking up less in the middle of the night because you do not feel your partner moving around as much.
To me this mattress is a little firmer than I expected it to be. It is possible that it will break in a little more overtime. Although, it is still extremely comfortable and does not bother me. I also prefer a thicker mattress which puts me higher off the ground. It is a little shorter than the pillow top I had before but it is still much thicker than other memory foam mattress I have owned which is a bonus.

I love that it is an Antimicrobial mattress because my wife has a lot of allergies. I believe this will help keep bacteria and any other microbes out of the mattress.
Overall, I believe this is a great mattress and I would highly recommend for anyone who prefers a medium to firm mattress.

Inconspicuous Camera Glasses
on January 18, 2022
Posted by: dlowen
from Tacoma, Wa
Glasses with built in cameras have become a big trend in the last few years. I have owned and tested a few different ones myself. One thing I have never liked is the form factor. Most of them are not very fashionable and often are not comfortable to wear. I believe the RayBan stories are here to help change that.
Design wise these glasses are not much different than normal Wayfarer glasses at least from a look’s standpoint. I believe this is one of their strong suits especially for people who already like the look and feel of normal ones. I believe Rayban did a great job in integrating the cameras and speakers without changing the overall look. The bands on the sides are a little bit thicker to accommodate the electrical components but they do not feel much different when you are wearing them. I was impressed with the audio from the speakers. It is not super loud but is great if you want to watch a video on your phone or take a phone call. I believe in a loud area these might suffer a bit but most people will not buy these purely for the audio. The cameras are built in a way that makes them extremely inconspicuous. There is a small light on the outside to tell others you are recording plus a light on the inside that you are able to see with the glasses on. The touch controls built into the site of the arms are a nice addition and work well.
I believe there is one downside to these glasses which is the Camera itself. Specifically, the quality of the camera is not on par with todays technology. The video and photo quality to me feels outdated. It is not horrible and still usable to post small shorts on Facebook or Instagram. However, I feel like for some people hoping to use these as a replacement to their phone they will be disappointed. Outdoor quality with a lot of light is much better but the quality indoors with natural light it the quality really starts to become bad. It is possible that the quality is lacking due to packing a camera into such a small package required a smaller sensor size but I still was a little disappointed.
They use a separate app to download and share the pictures. The app seems to work pretty flawlessly and it was easy to transfer the pictures/videos to the app from the glasses. From there you can easily download them to your phone or share them straight to social media. The app also has basic editing features to edit your photos and videos right in the app.
Regardless these are still and awesome pair of sunglasses. Capable of taking pictures and short videos when you want to go hands free. I believe they will give the ability to capture some great moments that you would otherwise not be able to capture.

Amazing SOUND
on December 10, 2021
Posted by: dlowen
from Tacoma, Wa
Bose is one of the best when it comes to sound quality so it is not surprising that this system was even better than I expected. First off there is nothing else on that I have ever seen that can even come close to comparing to this system for a few reasons.
First I would like to talk about the overall design. It is extremely small for a PA system. I was expecting it to be much larger. Granted it is one of the biggest Bose speakers I have ever had but compared to other PA system it is super compact and easy to take anywhere. Although I did not have one to review you can also buy an optional battery making the entire system wireless and even more portable. It is made of high quality and heavy duty materials. It also has a handle at the top which makes it even easier to carry and move around. The speaker is also designed to sit up straight or on its site as while as a few other angles.
Next is the sound quality. Since it is smaller than a lot of other large PA system I did not expect it to be quite as loud. But I was very wrong. The system can get extremely loud without losing sound quality. I have another PA which is at least 5 times the size and the Bose was able to get much louder and overall just sounds much better.
The last thing is the features. On the back of this system it has many different inputs for microphones and even a guitar input. With multiple different adjusts to fine tune the exact sound you would like to get. It also has Bluetooth so you can wirelessly connect and play audio.
I would recommend this PA system if you need somethin for larger events. But it is also good for just about any kind of environment and since it is compact you can easily use it indoors or outdoors. It could even be used for less formal things such as karaoke or just simply to plug in your guitar and jam.

Must have for iPhone 12/13 users
on November 30, 2021
Posted by: dlowen
from Tacoma, Wa
Anker makes some of the most affordable and high quality chargers and batteries on the market. I prefer them over any other charger I have used. The Anker MagGo is truly revolutionary.
Starting off with the design. It is a small and compact portable battery and the best part is that it magnets to the back of your iPhone to wireless charge it. But In addition it has a folding stand that can be used to prop up your phone for watching movies etc. It is not extremely heavy, had nice soft materials to touch and isn’t to large to easily carry around on the back of your phone when you need a charge.
I think most people have been in a situation where they need to be on the go but there phone is dying. This is the perfect option for this because it stays attached to your phone and there are no extra wires. Also with a 5000 mah battery it can charge your phone at least completely once plus more. This battery is larger than most other similar style batteries.
I love this battery/charger and would highly recommend for anyone who is constantly draining there phone battery and does not have the time or ability to be connected to a wall to charger there phone.

Great device for Facebook users
on November 10, 2021
Posted by: dlowen
from Tacoma, Wa
This is my second Facebook portal. I loved the first one but it had a few drawbacks. I feel like this new portal go fixes some of those issues.
The biggest drawback of the previous version was that it had to be plugged into the wall limiting where you put it. The new portal go solves this problem by including a battery and dock so that it can be picked up and walk around with it. Or just simply move it from one room to another. The only downside to this design is that it is a pretty hefty device. That being said I would not recommend holding it for long periods of time but being able to move it around and set on a flat surface is convenient. It also does have a handle on the back making it easier to carry around.
The technology in the camera is very good. If you have the device set down somewhere it will track the person on camera and zoom in or out depending on how many people are in the camera. The speaker is decent for listening to music but unfortunately you are limited to only a couple different services.
That brings me to the only downside of this device. It is somewhat limited on what services or apps it works with. Granted it does more than just Facebook but I still wish it could do more and act more as a tablet.
One of my favorite things is that it has built in Alexa. My entire house is controlled off of Alexa and so the ability to control everything by voice or on the touch screen makes things so convenient.
I would recommend this device to anyone who mainly uses it for Facebook. That is what it does best and more messenger. It can make video calls very well utilizing this service. Another downside is I believe it requires a Facebook account to even use it so if you do not have Facebook I would not recommend it.

High Quality Massager great for athletes
on November 3, 2021
Posted by: dlowen
from Tacoma, Wa
The Hypervolt 2 Pro is the dream for the athletic type of person. I think almost every person has experienced tight muscles after running or doing some other kind of activity. This massager is amazing to help loosen up muscles and make it easier to continue working out.
The design of this massager is small, sleek, and well built. Unlike massager of the past this one is small enough to fit inside a gym bag and is battery powered so you can use it anywhere. The battery also lasts for a long time and should be able to be used for multiple days without needing to be charged. It comes with several different attachments all built out of high-quality materials. I have used other similar massagers that were not built as well and the materials would start to break down over long periods of time. I do not feel that will be the case with this massager.
The only adjustments on it are speed. Ironically, I found it to be much less smooth when on the lower settings. But if you put it on the medium to high settings it is much smoother on working out your muscles.
It comes with a small case to hold all of the different attachments but does not come with a case for the massager. I was a little disappointed as it is nice to be able to store everything together inside of one larger case. Especially, since the charger is proprietary I would hate to lose it.
The Hypervolt 2 pro is a high-quality massager built to last. I believe that anyone who is big on exercise or into sports needs to have one of these. I would also like to mention that it makes for a great back massager. Of course, that requires someone else to use it but it is great for working out the muscles.

Great Pro Controller
on October 26, 2021
Posted by: dlowen
from Tacoma, Wa
Having a pro controller when gaming makes a huge difference. Finding s high quality pro controller for the Xbox series X is not the easiest thing. To get one that is comfortable and high quality. This controller definitely exceeded my expectations.
The only downside is that it is not a wireless controller. However, it does come with a long braised USB-C chord. In my testing it did not come unplugged however it does not have any kind of locking mechanism to hold it in place. It is possible that it could disconnect if pulled hard enough but it was not an issue.
One of my favorite features is that it has RBG lightning which is a nice gaming feature. As far as extra buttons this controller has plenty of extra customizable buttons. Four extras on the back of the controller and two extra near the triggers. It also has adjustable triggers which I love for first person shooters I could have shorter trigger pulls.
This is s great high quality controller. I would highly recommend it for anyone who is looking for a pro controller with more features than a standard Xbox controller but does not mind having a wired controller The wire is extremely long and would even work in a normal living room environment.

Enjoy smartphone and iPad streaming with voice-activated Bluetooth technology. This Sony 3.1 Ch. Atmos sound bar is easy to connect and features an adjustable 7.12-channel entertainment mode for enhanced listening.
 

This only has 1 hdmi input? So I can’t hook up my Apple TV n my PlayStation thru the sound bar? Or does it just pay to go with HTZ9F

As long as the Sound Bar is plugged into the ARC HDMI on your TV you can plug all your devices into your TV and they will still use the sound bar. I have PS4, XBOX, Apple TV, and Nintendo all plugged into TV and my sound bar plugged into the HDMI that say ARC and all devices play through sound bar. Hope this helps

Where can I go to try these headphones on. I don’t want to pay 350$ for something that doesn’t fit or for something that may not be worth my money.

You can try them out at your local Best buy store.

Can the storage be upgraded on this laptop? If so, is it difficult to do?

The panel on the bottom requires a special tool and it uses a proprietary drive. Upgrading the storage would be extremely hard if possible at all.
