For the Chef in your family
on August 9, 2017
Posted by: Lerotz
from Grafton, WV
So the biggest thing that I like about this grill is that it is just a great companion to any kitchen setup. If I have any complaint about it then it's that it seems like it is more positioned towards making nicer meals than for someone who makes more quick meals. That being said it's really nice that they do include a great set of recipes with the grill so if you're looking for ideas it definitely brings them. The grill itself is really well built and holds up great. It definitely looks and feels premium. I can't say it made me an amazing chef; I'm college student age and not, but it definitely has the potential to cook some amazing healthy meals with both vegetables and various meat. Also I recommend pineapple if you're using any chicken. Overall if you're wanting to do some smaller scale grilling inside that's what I really like this grill for.

Good Value at Price Point with Potential
on July 17, 2017
Posted by: Lerotz
from Grafton, WV
So I want to go ahead and get my gripe with this gaming laptop out of the way. At this price point I expect some sort of Solid State technology to help improve load times and boot time for Windows. The drive in here is a moderately fast HDD at 7200 RPM, but it certainly doesn't keep pace with an SSD nor an SSHD. A SSHD would've been the happy compromise here since you do still want to have a large amount of storage for games. The laptop does however offer an expansion slot for an NVMe SSD which will definitely benefit this laptop as the CPU is certainly not a bottleneck. Initially I had issues with the screen. I noticed some minor screen bleeding around the edges, but overall it's a solid 1080p IPS LED Monitor at 60 Hz. Not enthusiast grade, but really well balanced for the GTX 1050 that is powering it as most games will run at Ultra 1080p around 40-60 fps. Doom was the hardest title that I threw at the computer and was mostly around the high fifties in frame rate with some dips into the high forties. Perfectly playable even for PC Master Race people. The CPU make me wonder a bit. It's actually a bit overkill for this system. If it had a GTX 1060 and we could be talking some 2K gaming or even lighter 4K then absolutely would justify it, but with the 1050 I'd rather see a Quad Core i5 and both an SSD and a HDD if you're not intending to upgrade this model. If you are then great you'll enjoy the extra multimedia capabilities that the Core i7 offers making this a fierce mobile workstation especially considering it's relatively light weight for being a gaming laptop. 8 GBs of memory in this model and I feel great about it. They offer an extra slot if you want to upgrade this model to 16, and I could see it going either way. If you plan to use it as a workstation go for 16. Otherwise stick with 8 for gaming purposes. Really overall this is a laptop that with further investment can really be something special and is still a really well built laptop even with it's pre-built set.

Really good router with software on its way
on July 8, 2017
Posted by: Lerotz
from Grafton, WV
So I feel like the best features of this router is incorporating the Internet of Things that Samsung offers. It's nice being able to control everything from one convenient app that allows everything from scheduling of stuff to allowing you to run it right there. As a router it performs well. Not on par with the complete mesh network but definitely on par with other routers within its price range and is definitely a fair recommend. It's just not "spectacular" in any particular way. It is also worth mentioning that the app to set it up does not currently support Android 8.0 so at the time of this writing if you have a Google Pixel running the beta then you'll need to revert it in order to setup or use a different device. I used an LG G5 to do so. The app is pretty straightforward and has definitely received some polish since I set up the vacuum. It is definitely getting the support it deserves. Wireless range is pretty good. Two rooms away I was still getting acceptable bandwidth though it definitely fell off quite a bit. If you need to get coverage for many rooms this may not be the choice for you and I'd consider a mesh network at that point, or even additional hubs for it. Overall pretty good job for a first swing Samsung at a router.

Toss this waterproof LifeProof AQUAPHONICS speaker in the pool and watch it float. The crisp audio doesn't stop for snow, dirt or ice, and this Bluetooth-enabled speaker can withstand a drop from 1.2m. The battery of this LifeProof AQUAPHONICS speaker keeps going for 15 hours, and it charges your phone while it's playing.

The size of this speaker is glorious. It will compete with lower end soundbars, but it is portable and has a great many features. It does include the common ports for a speaker including an AUX in for running a headphone cable into the speaker, but Bluetooth works great on the speaker. One of my only complaints about the speaker is that the 0.5 amp doesn't manage to charge my phone while the 1.0 amp does so it makes the charging port in the covered shield doesn't work. Maybe on a different phone, but not on my Pixel which isn't a large phone. The other complaint that I have is that the charging port for the AQ11 is an AC adapter port so it's not a standardized port meaning if you need an extra charger it's going to be much more difficult than if it was Micro USB or USB Type C. The audio on this speaker is rich and very full. Among the best that I've heard on a Bluetooth Speaker. I listened to several types of music, and I was very impressed with everything that I heard. You really must experience it for yourself. I can easily see the speaker carrying sound outside. Give it a consideration if you need a all-purpose speaker that holds up well in the outdoors.

Pretty good vacuum sweeper
on June 18, 2017
Posted by: Lerotz
from Grafton, WV
So I will go ahead and get my issues with the vacuum out of the way. The app is down right annoying. I had to use Google Play comments on the app in order to figure out how to set it up. That is not right to Samsung customers, and even their "technical support" could not figure this out. Thumbs down on Samsung support and their broken app. You have to disable mobile data on your phone in order to setup the app with the sweeper. There is my rant. The sweeper works really well with the included remote and the whole thing looks professional. It picks up really nicely. Not the best that I've ever seen, but darn close. It's path finding is good. It didn't do perfectly so keep consider using the remote for what it misses, but it'll do 90% of the job and I'm pretty happy with that. The thing that makes me really like this vacuum is that it is by far the most silent that I've ever seen. It barely bothers my cats and you can certainly watch TV and do normal activities while it does it's thing. With the app, ugh, you can even set up schedules for when it runs and that is fantastic. It downright makes sweeping no longer a chore and frees up time. The product is pretty good and can continue to be improved on.

Really good trimmer with comfort features
on May 31, 2017
Posted by: Lerotz
from Grafton, WV
So I want to get straight to what makes this electric trimmer so good. It's that at its price point it has every single comfort feature that I would want. It has an adjustable head on it so that you can trim to your desired length. It is rechargeable and the recharge speed works really well. It's also really neat that the charger isn't just a cable that you can plug into it, but it's an actual base. I don't personally keep it out that way because I have cats, but it is a nice thought similar to my toothbrush where it's really convenient. My only complaint is that while it can get the bulk of my thick beard off, it struggles to get the finer parts of my beard which really takes away the "precision" side of it for me, but overall it's a great part to a shaving set and it is easily recommended.

Enjoy clear sound produced by 40mm high performance drivers with these Master & Dynamic headphones. The ear pads are made with memory foam and lambskin to keep you comfortable during long listening sessions, and their foldable structure makes them easily portable. These Master & Dynamic headphones are made from anodized metal for durability.

I want to get my only issues with the headphones out of the way. I personally don't care for on ear headphones and they are somewhat uncomfortable on my ears and I don't like that. As my primary drivers I use a set of Sony MDR-1000X and at just 50 bucks more I still prefer those over Master & Dynamic's version, but they do trade blows in some aspects and that's why I will still recommend them. Sony's are Bluetooth and also have support for Hi-Res Audio. That's a great perk. Sony's headphones are also noise cancelling actively, and while Master & Dynamic's passive noise cancellation is among the best I've seen it's still not as good as active. Master & Dynamics headphones however do not require a battery in order to enjoy the full benefit of their headphones and that makes them a great portable companion although Sony's have an extraordinarily long battery. In terms of audio quality I would say if you prefer a heavier bass then go with Sony's implementation, but Master & Dynamic really nailed it in terms of mids and treble. They sound fantastic and I was testing them with several types of music. The build quality on the Master & Dynamic I would also argue is better being made entirely of a strong construction of steel and tough leather they just feel very premium. It is also reassuring that I can remove the headphone pads can be removed and cleaned. The instruction manual was detailed about everything about cleaning and maintaining to even having information about not harming your long term hearing. It was truly quite amazing and they clearly care about their customers. The headphone accessories are also very nice they include a magnetic carrying case and the audio cables which are removable also come in what feels like a fake leather case, but is really nice. It also includes the adapter if you want to use them on a airplane. They should be a strong contender if you are wanting a very good set of wired headphones.

Pair this LifeProof AQUAPHONICS speaker with up to eight Bluetooth devices, and use the included dry box for storing keys and cards.

Okay so I just want to get straight into why I don't care for this speaker. Part of it is that it is in a comparable price bracket with the JBL Charge 3 which has nearly every single feature this speaker has, but also is cheaper, has significantly better audio quality, time and a half the battery life, and is typically cheaper. The one feature that it doesn't have is that it doesn't have the slot where you can put your belongings while your outside. Considering this speaker is primarily targeted for outdoors type people I would expect the volume to be a strong point, but it is actually one of the weakest. As an indoor speaker it is acceptable, but there is no low end on the speaker and was just outclassed by its JBL counterpart. I can't recommend it for beyond indoors usage and even then I would recommend a soundbar or a stereo system at that point within this price range.

Gosh I had to check other early reviews to see if other people were having the same problems that I was and it does seem to be the case. I am here to affirm them and add some of my own comments to the case because there are several other things that I have problems with on this router. I personally had issues throughout the whole setup process and it took me a lengthy amount of time to get it setup. This isn't so much due to the app itself which good luck searching for it. Use the website link they have in the setup guide then follow their website. It's annoying, but it works if you get it. Why does a router at this price range come with CAT5e cables instead of CAT6? The power cable is also so short that I actually couldn't run it to my surge protector so for my brief testing I had to plug it directly into a wall. So the physical setting up of this device is what makes it annoying and it just felt weird because I've never had a problem with it before. Speed drop off is pretty heavy. Just a room and a hall away my speed dropped by half from the initial router, and because the range on the router is so short in the same room I couldn't hook up the range extender so it's another issue with the physical setup of the router system. When I was in the same room I would get full speed, but I want it to carry at least a little bit. The physical design of the router is fine, but there are so many other budget friendly versions of this setup. Look elsewhere.

So I want to say that these headphones are incredibly well rounded and have every essential feature that I would want a set of gaming headphones have for PC purposes. They may not be perfect for console gamers due to their lack of wireless capabilities, but for PC gamers they are perfect. The build quality is shockingly good. They are actually metal and they feel fantastic. I would even wager to say that they are fantastic media headphones too as their audio accuracy and volume are really good. I do recommend pairing it with a keyboard that has inline audio controls though as they headphones do not have them so you cannot adjust audio from the headphones themselves. Razer's software was really good too and it allows you to get a personal feel and adjustment on the 3D sound so you can tell if it is accurately doing the surround sound for your purposes. USB is how it is hooked up and basic drivers will utilize the headphones, but you will want to download Synapse for the 3D sound and configuration. Overall the headphones are a fantastic value at sub 100 dollars.

Lerotz's Questions
Lerotz has not submitted any questions.
Unlike traditional, circular earbuds, the design of the EarPods is defined by the geometry of the ear. Which makes them more comfortable for more people than any other earbud-style headphones. The speakers inside the EarPods have been engineered to maximize sound output and minimize sound loss, which means you get high-quality audio. The EarPods with Lightning Connector also include a built-in remote that lets you adjust the volume, control the playback of music and video, and answer or end calls with a pinch of the cord.
Do these have the 3.5 connection?
No, Apple does make a version of these earbuds with the 3.5 mm connector, but these implement audio over the lightning connector.

Can I buy these earpods at the actual Best Buy store for 17.99 or can you pay this price only online?
Best Buy does have a price match policy at the time of writing this post, but you can also choose to pick up the item in store so it is a sort of redundant question at that point.

You must press the power button after plugging your device in.

Bring the power of Google directly to your fingertips with the Google Pixel. A large 32GB of storage keep data secure, while unlimited cloud storage transfers data as needed, and it's completely automatic. The large 5-inch screen is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 4 to ensure the Google Pixel remains scratch-free.
When you preorder the phone for retail you pay 699$. Do I also pay tax on the 699$ because than it would be over 730$. Or is the 699$ with tax?
Since sales tax various from region to region it would depend. I live in West Virginia where sales tax is 7% so for me it is roughly 750 dollars.

I have a Comcast modem going to a apple time capsule for wifi. Can this be installed after that and still give me access to time capsule and increase speeds?
I would say that the Apple Time Capsule would be redundant when you can simply install an external hard drive. The point of the Apple Time Capsule is that it is a all encompassing Wi-Fi solution with hard drive capabilities built in.

Will it help to stop buffering?
Depending on if your Internet bottleneck is your router itself. If the router you have is the bottleneck then yes and this may even help you get more of your bandwidth from your ISP, but if you are not getting enough speed from your Internet Service Provider then this isn't going to help.

No you must have Internet Service for this to give you Internet. What is required is a Internet Service Provider and a compatible modem.
