Best Value for the Money

What can you not like about this keyboard. It is RGB and has tons of effects. You can create them yourself, the possibilities are endless. If you are a fan of linear switches you will like these MX Speed switches.
They take less pressure to actuate the key and the distance is almost half of the MX Cherry Reds. The feel of the keys are top notch and feel like it is built to last. I love the brushed aluminum frame and the extra usb port on top. It lacks macro keys, but you can program each key if you wanted to.

I don't like the thick cable but it is definitely high quality. Not a fan of the font, but I got used to it. The keys are really loud, but I like it :). The Corsair Cue software takes time to get used to, but it works when you understand it. Aside from these things, it is a great keyboard. These keys will take some getting used to because they don't take much to activate. I love love love this keyboard.

GREAT Value with TOP NOTCH Sound! BUY!
on July 5, 2017
Posted by: nkpstudios
from Frederick, MD
These headphones are AWESOME! They bring functionality along with rich sound. They are well built and flexible so no need to worry about snapping them. They come in a nice colors with something for everyone (except plain black). Gun metal, Silver, and Purple are what you can chose from. They are just so nice!
Here are some things I like about them:
+Sound quality! - did I mention sound quality? They are perfectly balanced to cover lows, mids, and highs. Not over powering with regards to bass, just the right amount. What you would expect of JBL, QUALITY!
+Crisp and bright sound! - yes, sound is wonderful
+Powerful - they get loud and do not get distorted with volume
+Dual Functionality - can be used as wireless or traditional wired.
+Case - well constructed and protects headphones well. Rigid but flexes to provide coverage of the headphones.
+Wired vs Wireless good - sound using wireless and wired is very similar. JBL had done a great job with sound quality, yes for a third time!
+Bluetooth Range/Connection - this has LOOOOOOONG range. I left my phone in the basement and went to my top floor and never heard degradation or interference.
+Charge time - charged from dead to full in a little over two hours. Battery life is great and it charges to full quickly.
+Battery life - advertised is 20 hours, I haven't got there yet, but these hold up well. So far 12 hours and still going strong. Music at 100% volume.
+Aesthetically Beautiful - this are beautiful designed. Nice matte metallic finish with nice JBL logos on the ears.
+Call Quality - my wife couldn't even tell if I was on headphones or handheld. Has echo cancelling built in, great wrok JBL.
+Fast - these power on and off quickly, I would estimate less than 3 seconds. You will hear powering on/off and about 2 seconds later they are ready or turned off.
+Snug fit - these headphones do not move once they are on your head making them great for weight lifting and running.
+Noise Isolation - on ear cups do a great job of killing surrounding sounds.
+Lightweight and comfortable* - this is true, but after sometime I felt a little pressure on my ear.
+Share Button - I don't see this being big, but it is cool. It allows you to pair your headset to another bluetooth headset and share your music. This is good if you and your gym partner want to hear the same music while working out or running.

Here are some things I don't like or wish I could change:
-Comfort - after about an hour or so, I could feel my ears being pressed by the cup. It didn't hurt or give me a headache, but became a little uncomfortable. I have a big head so that could be a contributing factor :)
-No aptX or AAC support - this should be standard for bluetooth headphones, but I get why they didn't because they would owe royalties to Apple and Qualcomm
-Ear cups - ear cups are glued on so if you damage them you cannot change them unless you send them in for service. It would be nice to be able to buy different materials for the ear cups and change them out.
-Not Splashproof or Sweatproof - check the weather or don't sweat too much because these are not advertised with IPX5. Be careful!
-Battery Levels - I have yet to find a way to check battery levels on the phone/device for these headphones.
-My JBL Heaphone App - this app does not currently support these headphones. You need to buy the Elite version and fork out some cash.
-Wired Remote - the wire lack volume control. You only get one button much like older wired headsets of the early 2000s and late 90s.
-Button Layout - I have trouble finding buttons sometimes. You can accidentally press the pause/play button or even the power slider rather than volume up.

Overall you get a great sounding pair of headphones here. They are priced to compete with the other mid tier headphones out there. If you like perfectly balanced sound, these are for you. If you like overpowering bass you might me wanting more with these. These are wonderful overall. A must buy for anyone in the market for wireless bluetooth in the $150-$200 range.
-=VERDICT=-
Buy if you like nice well-rounded sound.

Average headphones at a midrange price
on July 3, 2017
Posted by: nkpstudios
from Frederick, MD
I was really hoping to like these headphones, but the sound just isn't there for me. They left me with a hollow sound wanting bass and volume. These headphones have many positives, but you buy headphones to listen to music not for just functionality. Here are some of the good things going for this pair of headphones:
+Memory Wire - The memory wire is a great feature that makes these fit the outside of your ear perfectly. You mold them to your preferred shape and it stays.
+Sweat/Splash Proof - This is something you come to expect from earbuds these days and these have this protection. Do not take these swimming or dunk them in water. They aren't waterproof.
+Good Midrange Sound - These sound great if you don't like bass heavy music. This doesn't mean they are bad, they're just not for me. They sound good don't get me wrong.
+Simple Pairing - These work with both Android and Apple and pair like any other bluetooth device. If you are asked for a password, it is 0000.
+Simple Interface - The remote is simple to use and only has 3 buttons.
+Customizability - In addition to the memory wire, you have a plethora of ear tips to suit you. The fit is key to getting good sound out of these. There are like 7 pairs of tips so you should find one that is good for you.
+Battery Life - These advertise 12 hour battery life, but I was able to average anywhere from 8-10 hours on a single charge. Maybe after a few battery cycles this will get better, but out of the box I got 75% of the advertise battery life. This will also be effected by volume. I listened to mind at about 95% volume.
+Carrying Case - This carrying case is pretty nice. Nothing fancy but it is built solid. It has room for the headphones and the charging cord.
+USB Micro Charger - Some headphones use proprietary cords, but this one uses your typical USB charge cord. Apple users will struggle to find a cord if they are deep in the Apple ecosystem.

Now for the things I didn't like. This is mostly personal preference, but for me I had a hard time liking the following:
-Lacks Bass - These headphones are great but just not for me. I like more bass in my music so if you like good overall coverage of highs, mids, and just enough bass then these are for you.
-Volume - These get loud, but they aren't powerful enough for me. If you like good powerful sound these are not for you. There is more than enough volume for the average user.
-Price - For the price, there are a lot of better sounding headphones out there. This is a good price point for the midrange user market who don't want to pay top dollar for bluetooth headphones.

As you can see, there are way more positives than negatives for these headphones. I would say try them out and if you like them keep them. Most places you buy from have a great return policy so you will have to find out for yourself. If you are not an audiophile and want solid value for your money get these. If you are an audiophile, you will probably still be using wired headphones. There are other earphones out there that offer better sound, but nothing like the good ole 3.5mm headphone jack.
-=VERDICT=- Try them for yourself, they weren't for me but they are good headphones!

Nice OUTDOOR speaker
on June 30, 2017
Posted by: nkpstudios
from Frederick, MD
This speaker is awesome for BBQ and pool parties. Overall it is a great speaker, but it is not for every type of music out there. It is bass heavy and lacks crispness and clarity at higher volumes. Range is nice on this as well, I was able to get more than 80ft via bluetooth without quality issues. Battery life is nice but you need to keep it at 50% or below to achieve this. Power bank is great as well. It has a built in USB port to charge accessories and phones. You can also chain this together with other speakers using the AUX out port with a regular 3.5mm jack.
Pros
-NFC Pairing - easily pairs with any phone that has NFC. If you are an iPhone user, you lose out HAHA.
-Build Quality - when you hold this, it is built ROCK solid. The rubberized coating is nice to the touch.
-Water Resistant - rain or shine, this speaker does the job.
-Power Bank - great for keeping your phone charged. Great value other speakers do not provide.
-Powerful and Loud - this is NOT good for indoor, but outdoors this shines. You will definitely have music outside if that is what you want.
-Chainable - you can chain this speaker to other speakers via the AUX output
-Call Speakerphone - great if you don't care if everyone hears your conversation. Caller hears you crystal clear if you are within 5 ft of the speaker. Past that you sound "far away" in my wife's terms.

Cons
Battery Life - It is advertised at 8 hours. If you keep it at or under 50% volume you will achieve that. It is more like 3.5 hours at full power.
Bass Heavy - For me this is good, but again for some it may be a turn off. It sacrifices mids for bass in my opinion
-Not Crisp - This leaves lots to be desired in the clean and crisp sound department. It is loud, but anything over 50% volume you lose the clean sound you will look for.
-Mids Lacking - Mids are not that great. You will find this is great for hip hop, rap, jazz, reggaeton, and music as such. Not great for rock and other music with mid range instruments
-Size - Some may think this is a large speaker, for me it is perfect

Ensure maximum comfort from this Logitech mouse. The precise ergonomic design ensures you stay comfortable throughout the day even if you're a power user, and the additional side button lets you create a custom setup. Smooth gliding is assured from this Logitech mouse thanks to the low-resistance base that slips over any surface.

ABSOLUTELY Awesome Mouse for Productivity
on June 30, 2017
Posted by: nkpstudios
from Frederick, MD
This is a must have mouse for all who are content creators and productivity junkies. The mouse fills the palm of your hand and just feels solid. Battery life seems good. It advertises over 70 hours on the website. The aesthetics are just beautiful.
The software Logitech Options is great and works well. You have absolute control to remap buttons and make them do what you want. It is definitely an upgrade over the Logitech Setpoint and Unifying Software. Logitech Options combines the two so you don't need them anymore. This mouse does NOT work with the old SetPoint software and it will tell you to download the new program.
The only complaint I have is the placement of the back and forward button. They are placed behind the horizontal scroll wheel which is perfectly placed. You have to make an awkward motion to reach them and you press the wrong one sometimes. Overall this mouse is a MUST BUY for anyone who is in the market for one. It has a higher DPI. If you currently own the Master MX, this is not a real upgrade-worthy purchase.
Go out and buy this!!!!!

This is a wonderful AIO cooling option. It keeps my CPU under 55 degrees Celsius at all times. No complaints aside from the Corsair Link Software. In order to change RGB LED on the pump it needs to be change in Link. Does not sync with Asus Aura, but it will register the LED color you want. Not many options for the LED though. Only solid color option.

Best RoboVac I have tried
on June 14, 2017
Posted by: nkpstudios
from Frederick, MD
This piece of tech is amazing. Just to think of all the AI involved is crazy. It maps out the room and I would say gets 98% of everything if you have obstacles like table legs and chairs in the way. It is somewhat large so it limits its ability to get into tight places but overall does a great job. This device is going to help save time for those who aren't home and don't want to hire a maid service. Take vacuuming off the list of chores!
Build 5/5
This vacuum is built like a tank. It has some weight to it. Aesthetics are typical Samsung with beautiful design and elegant material choices. The vacuum brush is rubber so it picks up more than a brush would. It has a wonderful wheelbase that allows it to go over different heights of floors like tile, linoleum, hardwoods, etc.

Connectivity 4/5
This is a true smart device. It syncs up effortlessly to the Samsung Home app. It also has a remote which uses IR technology. The only things I would like implemented is Alexa and Google Assistant integration. It seems there is a newer version called the VR7000 that has Alexa integration. Good thing to see. There is "chat control" which allows you to text the vacuum and provide commands.

Functionality 4/5
This vacuum offers tons of options to clean your home. Of course, it doesn't go up stairs yet, but one floor is easily handled. You can schedule it to vacuum when your not home, when your sleeping, when you are home... basically whenever you want. This is done through the Samsung Home app as well. You also can manually control the vacuum remote control arrows. Awesome features. It even returns to charge itself when done.

Vacuum Power 3/5
This vacuum is still not as powerful as a typical upright. The motor is decent and fills the dustbin but I still get a lot using my normal vacuum. While this is good, it will not replace your powerful full sized vacuum. I would say this is a nice to have not a replacement.

Battery 4/5
The battery life is pretty much enough to do one floor. The cleaning pattern this vacuum uses is somewhat like a lawn mower approach. Back and forth one way and then it goes back and forth perpendicular to what it started with. It is a cross pattern and cleans thoroughly, but this is what uses all the battery.

Final Verdict 4/5
This vacuum is wonderful but not for everyone. I can see this for more of a niche market. Still priced high as a market leading vacuum that starts with a "D", if you are home and don't mind chores this isn't for you. This is more for business people and those who are gone and would like to at least have clean floors while away. At this price point it won't make it to every household. So, it is a buy if you are into "nice to haves" but not for everyone.

One word... TURBO!
on May 23, 2017
Posted by: nkpstudios
from Frederick, MD
This dryer is AWESOME! It dried my hair the fastest of any dryer I have used. I am Puerto Rican with curly thick hair and this dryer made quick work of it. What I look for in a dryer is dry time, functionality, and attachment effectiveness. I would recommend this to anyone who is tired of spending time drying hair and wants something that is intuitive and natural. Although a bit heavy, it is well built and definitely a top shelf product. Compared to other dryers it is faster and more has more functionality. It has 3 speeds and 3 temperatures.
Pros
-Easy to style. It was easy to get the style I was going after.
-Attachments. It has a diffuser which is great for curly hair and adding volume. the quick dry attachment is my favorite! It also comes with a pinched nozzle.
-Effective and efficient. It didn't burn my hair and left it almost like a salon trip. Smooth and shiny is what you get with this.
-Intuitive. Buttons are wonderfully laid out and simple to use.
-Advanced technology. It uses ion technology which leaves hair shiny and not frizzy.
-Quick dry feature. Alternates weak and strong air flows to move hair and dry more effectively using the quick dry nozzle..
-Healthy Mode. Enable this setting to ensure you don't burn your hair and damage it.

Cons
-Weight. It's a bit heavy compared to other dryers, but again I will use this because of the speed and end result.
-Price. This is a great dryer but you get what you pay for. It will be out of reach for many because of the price, but if you care for your hair you will buy this.
-Not travel friendly. Large and is heavy.

Great piece of technology if you are into home automation. It plays well with Alexa and Google Home. I like being able to use voice commands is the biggest plus. Aesthetics are beautiful and seamlessly blends into the house. It works with my LED bulbs and my CFC bulbs that are also dimmable without flickering! Easy to use app and setup. If you are uncomfortable you may need to hire an electrician, but instructions are simple to use and anyone with basic DIY knowledge can complete the task.
The touch bar can be difficult to use but I love the timer and schedule functions in the app. Must buy for techy people or someone who is not home much but wants to make people think you are. Grade A product. Here are some features:
-Works with Amazon Alexa and Google Home, so your lights will respond to your voice.
-Control from anywhere: control the dimmer switch from the wall, the WeMo app, and even your voice with both Amazon Alexa and Google home. Only needs Wi-Fi. No Hub or subscription required.
-Syncs with your schedule: easily set schedules and timers so your lights do what you want when you want. You can even sync lights to adjust with the sunset and sunrise.
-Seamlessly replaces your existing dimmer and works with any one-way connection light.
-Optimize your lights: WeMo dimmer will calibrate to the bulbs you’re using to provide the maximum amount of dimming range with no flickering.

This UHD BluRay Player from Sony is definitely one of the best I have seen and used. The picture quality is amazing and it fully utilized every feature of my Samsung 8 Series TV. HDR is lifelike and the crispness of the picture is second to none. My only complaints concern the antiquated user interface (UI), the size of the device itself, and lack of apps. The UI hasn't changed much, so if you already use Sony Blu-Ray players it will be very familiar to you. It only offers apps about 18 apps: YouTube, Hulu, Spotify, OperaTV, MLB.tv, Crackle, VUDU, Nextflix, Amazon Video, FOX News, Pandora, YuppTV, WW Network, MUBI, iHearRadio, Slacker, SirusXM, and Berliner Philharmoniker.
It is solidly built and built to last. It has Dolby Atmos and DTS:X, HDR, 2 HDMIs (1 Input and 1 Output), Digital Coax Out, and a LAN port. It features 4k Upcaling, Blutooth, and Wifi builtin. It is very heavy and quite big. It sticks out about an inch over my wall mounted shelf for the TV. Otherwise, it is nice. Performance is all I care about so if that is what you are after, it is a must buy. It plays well with my Samsung TV and Soundbar with no issues in my week of using it. I must recommend the UHD Planet Earth II Blu-Ray to fully appreciate your TV's capabilities.
The Verdict
If you are in the market, it is a must buy. If you have a Blu-Ray and are happy, maybe not so much for you.

Can an owner of the original non active 65t comment on the fit and stability difference with the active version? Curious if that and the extra IP rating is worth a look, or negligible.
I have both. They fit exactly the same. The only difference between the two are the IP56 rating and the black rubberized finish on the Actives. The Actives also have motion sensors in them but you cannot feel any difference between the two. If you have $20 to spare, it is well worth buying the Actives over the Elites for peace of mind with extra water resistance and motion sensors.

Can I use these earbuds separately? Ex. The left earbuds for phone calls without the use of the right earbud

The images for this product and description are for the regular non active 65t's. Not the active. According to Jabra's website the actives only come in blue/copper and have an IP rating of 65. Specifically... what is this product?
Obviously, if you read the description this is an exclusive colorway for BestBuy. This is evident by the "Only @ Best Buy" banner under the model number. They are exactly the same as the ones posted on the Jabra website with only the color/finish being different.

Enjoy superior sound and voice quality with these Jabra Elite wireless headphones. Integrated controls let you answer calls, adjust the volume or pause music with the touch of a button, while the included carrying case doubles as a charging station. External ambient noise keeps you aware of your surroundings, while a background noise filter delivers crisp, clear voice calls. With Bluetooth connectivity, these Jabra Elite wireless headphones are easy to pair to a mobile device.
When will the other colors be available?
Titanium and Black are the ONLY options announced. If you are looking for the same look but other color, you are looking at the Elite Active 65t.

When answering phone calls, is it stereo or mono?
If you have both buds in and turned on, it will be stereo. You can use only the right one as a mono option.

Any idea when these will be available again?
Stay in touch with this 15.6-inch Samsung notebook computer. Its Bluetooth capability connects it to Bluetooth devices for wire-free convenience, and its built-in webcam facilitates video conferencing. This Samsung notebook computer has 12GB of DDR4 RAM and an Intel Core i7 processor for speed, and it has a 1TB hard drive to hold plenty of files.
Is the screen matte or glossy? I'd like to use it outside and in bright sun. My old HP laptop is so reflective that it is almost impossible to use outside! Hoping this one is better??
It is a glossy screen. It is highly reflective and can cause issues with outdoor use.

Everything you love about Google, for work and play. Google Pixelbook is the first laptop with the Google Assistant* built in. Its super thin, 4-in-1 design includes a long-lasting battery and 7th Gen Intel® Core™** processor. It also comes with all the apps you already know and love including Youtube, Infinite Painter, Google Play Movies, Evernote, Slack, Lightroom, Google Photos and many more***.*Google Assistant requires Internet connection.**Intel and Intel Core are trademarks of Intel Corporation in the U.S. and/or other countries.***Availability and performance of certain apps and services may vary by region. Subscriptions(s) may be required, and additional terms, conditions and/or charges may apply. Pixelbook and Pixelbook Pen are optimized for selected apps and services only.
Why bother with the I7, when every review has the I5 running Chromium "ridiculously fast"? Ditto for RAM: Running small footprint apps instead of fully-fledged software begs the question, "What app needs 16GB?" The SSD upgrade I-get, but not for $700
You are ABSOLUTELY correct in your assessment. The only reason you would want to go to the i7 or 16GB is if you want to run Windows10 or Linux. As a Chromebook, the base model at $999 is OVERKILL for ChromeOS.

Keep your focus on the road with this Garmin Speak voice service device. Amazon Alexa is integrated and takes voice commands, so you can keep your hands on the wheel, and it connects to your vehicle's stereo system to provide spoken turn-by-turn directions. This Garmin Speak voice service device is compact, so it doesn't obstruct your view.
Does the GPS work if I’m out of my cellular network I drive in rural areas that sometimes has no network. Connectivity I have to rely solely on GPS satellites .
No, this uses your cell signal for some reason. Based on your scenario, pass on this.
