Excellent sound with compromises
on November 14, 2020
Posted by: nkpstudios
from Frederick, MD
The AUSOUNDS AU-Flex ANC neckband headphones are a mind-blowing introduction to AUSOUNDS. They came well packed in a sleeve type box/tray presentation with all pieces secured. These will please audiophiles who will sacrifice over-ear options for a more portable and reduced footprint. The build and design reminds me the original neckband headphones but they spent money on the parts that matter (i.e. speakers and battery). Things are kept simple with the user interface and it has a very minimalist design. Setup is fast and easy while providing a premium product from the soft neckband silicone material to the planar drivers that produce the sound. These are my go to headphones for the office and I recommend them to any business professional who wants great sound in a lightweight portable package. This is a great all day audio solution offering amazing call and sound quality with a few compromises like no app, HiRes iOS codec, or simultaneous BT connection. For me, at this price point an app is automatic in 2020 and I'd say expected. All other competitors offer an app with their headphones and I am hoping this is just in the works and will be released at a later date. Otherwise, this is almost flawless execution!
Inconveniences and challenges encountered
The BIGGEST inconvenience for me was having to re-pair when moving between my phone and laptop or tablet. Simultaneous connections are expected by many in this day and age. While driving, I found the ear phones got tangled when releasing the seatbelt. While moving around, the neckband tended to lean more towards the right side leaving weight distribution to be an issue for the active crowd. When playing with my kids, the would get tangled and caught in their hands.
As you can see, there is a market for TRUE wireless but these are a great compromise. The fact there is no app is a problem for me and I worry how firmware updates will be delivered. They would definitely benefit from an update and I don't know how well AUSOUNDS will support their products from a software standpoint. I hope an update in the works to fix connectivity issues with Android. On my Note 20 Ultra, all connections after initial pairing were 50% active. What I mean here is that call audio was enabled but the media audio was not. I had to disconnect BT and reconnect the BT connection for the AU-Flex ANCs every time I turned them on to use them to hear a video or music.

Room for Improvement
I would like to see an app with EQ and other settings to tune monitor mode, better connectivity with Android OS, HiRes iOS audio codecs, and also retractable ear buds to reduce tangling. The inability to link to two devices simultaneously is a MUST! Users will have a phone and either a tablet or laptop expecting This is otherwise PERFECT execution in my opinion by AUSOUNDS.

Fit and Comfort
The ear buds fit perfect in my ears. I can wear them all day and forget I have them in until I have to talk to someone. I love in ear headphones because the passive noise isolation it offers is the best option to hear clearly all detail in sound. There are 3 sizes of ear tips to choose from and the ear loops are soft and flexible. They stay where you put them and do not move, however, the neck band is the only annoyance. The neckband will move around, especially at the gym if you get a sweaty neck, and sometimes will lean toward the right side probably because it is heavier. The earbuds are low profile and don't stick out your ears too much which I like. At the gym, these will be a pain if you are working the bench press, doing sit-ups, or any exercises that have changes in vertical direction or fast horizontal movements.

Battery Life and Charging
Battery life on these lasts me about 3 calendar days before I have to charge them. It will announce in a robotic voice when battery is low and you can see battery life in the BT settings. I'd say in my case, these are on about 6 hours a day mostly for calls and a few of those hours listing to multimedia. For me, battery life is more than enough to get through a heavy all-day of use and will easily make it to night time. They charge up in about 2 hours via USB-C. The little flap that protects the USB-C charging port worries me because if it snaps your port will be exposed to the elements.

Sound quality
I must say I was surprised with the sound quality of this pair of headphones! I really like the clean bass and highs but the mids could be turned up a bit IMO and the highs down a little. Don't get me wrong, the out of box experience is WONDERFUL but I would like to tweak things. Since these fit in your ear canal, it channels everything into your ear to hear details you would miss in other headphones. These are definitely sculpted with bass and highs in mind and you will love the sound out of these. Clarity and power are the themes here! I would only wish these had a bit more juice in the loudness department but it is plenty. Things hold up well throughout the loudness range but at higher volume the highs are a bit too much and lows are more pronounced. Overall, this is a well tuned audio experience.
Noise cancelling is above average slightly with monitor mode needing to be louder. Voices still come through but low rumbles found in trains, busses, and motors reduced to almost silence. There is a slight hiss but this is normal for ANC headphones.

Call/Mic quality
Call quality is impeccable! Callers didn't even know I was on the phone and noise cancellation is excellent in call. It picks up your voice extremely well with high quality mics and cancels out the surrounding areas well. Voice memo recordings will amaze you especially in loseless codecs! Audio for calls comes through both ears

Android Experience
Audio quality is the main advantage to using these on LDAC supported Android OS devices while the biggest drawback was the connectivity issues when connecting to my Note 20 Ultra. Every time I connected it after the initial pairing, it would default only to "Call Audio" leaving the "Media Audio" option disabled. After tapping the "LDAC" and "Media Audio" options, it is non-responsive. The fastest way to fix this is to disconnect and then reconnect the AU-Flex headphones to get it to work. LDAC is excellent and as a result offers the best audio quality and experience, in my option, if your device supports it. Apple devices do not have a HiRes codec supported by the AU-Flex so you will get SBC quality sound. In summation, the best audio out of these headphones is obtained through the Android experience. There is no app which is unfortunate as we will need an update to make the Android experience more seamless. There are no EQ options as a result of no app which means you will be stuck with how these sound. There are in app EQs in some streaming apps but AUSOUNDS needs to step it up in the app game.

Apple Experience
Connectivity and stability is best found in the Apple experience however includes a hit to the audio quality due to only supporting SBC and not LDAC. The audio sounds good but if you hear LDAC on these headphones you will not be satisfied. SBC and LDAC supported with LDAC not in iOS and as a result, sound quality is slightly reduced. In short, if you want the best connection, Apple time and time again offers the best.

THE VERDICT
These are definitely a by and are a heavyweight contender for the neckband headphone crown! If this style is your thing, these deserve a HARD look. Although not perfect, I can wholly recommend these to business professionals and workers who want to enjoy working through the day in the best soundstage that can last you all day.

Decent Charger with Good Cable
on November 9, 2020
Posted by: nkpstudios
from Frederick, MD
To me, this doesn't offer much different in terms of functionality versus any other dual charger for out there. I measured each port using a high quality USB tester. The results were underwhelming for the amount of hype about 24W here. I never saw 2.4A or 2A for that matter. The highest output was 1.597A checking my iPhone 11 Pro Max and Samsung Note 20 Ultra never reached a high rate of charging. I tried various cables to see if that was the bottleneck and nothing changed. On my Note 20 Ultra, it signals the type of charge it gets and it never even displayed the words "Fast Charging". However, I did confirm output on both ports was equal. It simply works - if you are just looking for a reliable charger with protection this is for you.

GREAT AUDIO and BEST VALUE
on October 27, 2020
Posted by: nkpstudios
from Frederick, MD
The Logitech Z407 is a bluetooth speaker system that offers bluetooth, USB, or 3.5mm AUX for connectivity. Everything comes well packaged and easy to setup. Plug it in the wall, place the sub under your desk, place your satellite speakers and run the wires to connect using the simple color coded audio jacks. It comes with a small wireless controller that seems to operate on bluetooth. The range on the connection is roughly 30ft so you are free to control the sound and bass levels remotely. Setup is quick and easy which you should be up and running in less than 5 minutes. Most of the time will be spent deciding on which way you want to connect your PC and vertical vs horizontal speaker placement. This is a great way to add BLUETOOTH AUDIO FUNCTIONALITY to YOUR OLDER PC!
With its aesthetically pleasing and space saving design with vertical or horizontal options, it closely follows the minimalist Logi gray design language. It's all graphite gray plastic construction that feels cheap to me, but the sound quality is quite shockingly good. You notice the weight distribution of the speaker in relation to the speaker overall making it heavier on one side. You get good sound and decent build here for sure. The dial feels REALLY flimsy and cheap as well, but again this setup is all about the balance of form and function. Did I say I love the dial!
After trying all three connection options, I decided for my setup to go with micro USB (which is not included) on my PC for the best sound. 3.5mm works well but I noticed a slight hiss that I didn't hear with the USB. Bluetooth sounds great with minimal distortion. These speakers do not support any HiFi codecs, but still sound great. I couldn't find any literature anywhere stating what codecs are supported with these speakers.
The sound quality is excellent and offers room filling sound with a wide sound stage based on speaker placement. The speaker system is rated at 40w RMS with an 80w peak and it sounds great! The subwoofer offers deep clear bass for movie watching or gaming on your PC. Highs and mids are crystal clear and have clear separation but these are very bass heavy in my opinion. Without a way to adjust bass if you lose your dial it will be annoying. After reducing the bass level to about 50% (no way to tell since it lacks any indicators) it sounded a lot better to me. Voices are very boomy so adjust to taste. Overall, I can't complain as these sound great for what they are.
Room for improvement
-No software to interface with the speakers using USB and PC. I would have liked some sort of software with EQ and dial customizability options. No way to adjust bass without dial.
-No software to interface with the speakers using USB and PC. I would have liked some sort of software with EQ and dial customizability options. No way to adjust bass without dial.
-No USB cable in the box. To me, if these are PC speakers a USB cord should be supplied instead of the 3.5mm cord in this day and age of no headphone jacks.
-Feels cheap and lightweight for the price being all plastic. Hopefully you don't have paper stacks or other heavy things on your desk that could push off the speakers. If they fell, I would worry about them but we are all careful with our things … right? I hope they make a higher quality version with upscale materials of this speaker because the flimsy plastic dial is just made for function.
In summation, these deserve a hard look in this day and age of telecommuting and home schooling environments. It is for business professionals, students, novice gamers, and learning environments.

Perfect for busy days, this sleek, stainless steel Mr. Coffee 12-Cup Programmable Coffee Maker with Rapid Brew System brews a delicious cup of coffee very quickly. The Strong Brew Selector makes a bolder cup of coffee when you want one, with the touch of a button. Intuitive Brew Later programming makes it easy to schedule brewing ahead of time, so you can wake up to a fresh cup. This convenient coffee maker also comes with a handy coffee scoop for measuring grounds. Even more helpful features include Grab-a-Cup Auto Pause for a cup mid-brew, an easy-view Water Window to prevent overflow, a coffee Freshness Timer, 2-hour Auto-Shutoff, a Water Filtration System, and a Lift & Clean Filter Basket.

The Mr. Coffee 12-Cup Rapid Brew System is a value buy if you are in the market for a coffee maker. At this price-point, it is in a competitive space that is really about features. This does NOT come with a reusable filter screen so your only option out of the box is to buy paper filters. It DOES with a water filter for the coffee maker itself that is replaced every 30 days via a reminder dial. In my opinion, filtered water does make a difference with coffee taste, but I have an under cabinet water filtration system for filling my pots so the small filter isn't for my case. After a brew, the grounds are nicely filtered with a almost nothing untouched due to the spread pattern. With family, we usually get about 6 large mugs out the 12-cup pour, with a little bit left to make a small cup. Coffee comes out fast, but I cannot say I have measured any noticeable speed differences without doing a full head to head with other brands in my home. Smooth full bodied coffee is what you get here.
Aesthetically, it is nice looking with an almost entirely plastic build that features stainless steel accents to fit in with any modern kitchen design. Coffee brewing buttons are laid out nicely and with settings nice and straight forward. The water reservoir features a "wide-mouth" design to avoid spills with a hinged spout to avoid splashes. The integrated bumper kicks the spout back into place when you prepare to brew for added ease of use. There are all typical set it and forget it settings like auto on/off and a clock to use.

No matter your child~s interests or skill-level, the Root rt0 brings learning to code to life through art, music, and exploration. Its combination of activities, features, and interactive sensors result in engagement for hours at a time and offer many opportunities for family bonding. Spend time with your child while learning new skills and inspiring a lifelong love of code with the Root rt0.

This is a fun activity for the family to do together. I say that because you will also want and need to learn this with younger children. I have a 4 year old and a 6 year old who are amazed at the fact they can put something into the app and the robot does it. They are totally pumped that they have their own cool little robot. They like the ability to make sounds and turn on lights with root rt0. You can get a lego plate that allows for more creative ideas when they build something then control it with a program they don't even know they are making. We all gather around the table for a fun night trying to draw and write on the dry erase mat too. If you have a dry erase board that will hold magnets, root rt0 will stick to it for even MORE space to practice zero G spidey skills coding!
We are all on the first level so we can learn at the same pace. The kids were able to figure out how to make it turn by the icons for the coding. Setup and unboxing was quick and simple after you find the right app. Download the iRobot Coding app in the Apple/Google app store, press the yellow button, link the root rt0, and start lessons that teach the foundations for greater skills in the more advanced levels of coding in Swift.
There are lots of projects to do and others to unlock for a fee. This is easily capable of keeping K-12 and adults- new to coding- with fun challenges for a good bit of time. For me, this is the kind of "toy" I want for my children and I'm so glad this was created to introduce STEM to the home and school learning environment at a value price.

The Razer Kishi was an extremely surprising experience that I will say single handedly made me consider gaming more on my phone. I felt like I was playing a Switch or PSP from back in the day. It was refreshing to not have to find battery chargers or games to use, it was just powered by the phone. Sound from the ports was immersive and setup is easy just release the backplate, spread and connect the Kishi to your Android phone, download the Kishi app, and start trying games because there isn't a great list to choose IMO. I wish there was a readily accessible list of compatible games to refer to.
In all, the Kishi is a great piece of tech, but I wish it would integrate a headphone jack, ports for top firing speakers, and a little more width/height to fit larger phones like the Note 20 Ultra. I found it doesn't work with CoD Mobile which was a big bummer as I could not find any good FPS that I knew. This doesn't work with all games and the instructions could be better. Maybe there could be a way to direct the buyer to download the Kishi app. I couldn't find it mentioned anywhere. The triggers feel cheap but all other buttons feel high quality. Overall I enjoyed gaming on my phone because of this. I don't have to play with touch controls on screen which was a big negative for me. These handles would benefit from a grippy coating as an added premium feel. This works well with FortNite, Madden, and NBA 2K when I tested. Since it is light, small, and portable to travel with, this is a must buy. However, I do wish a case of some sort or bag was included to protect it.

Great Tasting Water and Easy to Install
on September 21, 2020
Posted by: nkpstudios
from Frederick, MD
This filter now replaces the water dispenser from the refrigerator we used to use for our drinking water. A major plus is it does not reduce the water flow by passing through the filter which is excellent. It is an activated charcoal filter so this 1 stage system lasts about 6 months and reduces microbial cysts, chlorine taste & odor, sand, soil, silt, rust and sediment based on 3M Testing. Makes tap water taste great and installs in less than 30 minutes. You will only need a wrench/channel locks, a screw driver, and your hands to use the press connectors. It is fast and easy to install. Overall, this is a reasonable system that will provide great tasting water for you and your family.
Custom install
I decided to make a drinking water faucet instead of filtering all the water that comes out of the sink. This should extend the filter's life as I don't need to filter the water I wash dishes with. Buy a 3/8" Tee Adapter at your local hardware store and you can do this too. Place the T on your cold water supply valve, reattach your sink water supply line and the new filter section and you are finished. See photos for final results.

Feel relief aid anywhere, anytime with Compex~ Ayre~ compression boots. Designed for therapists, coaches, elite and recreational athletes on-the-go, Ayre is a therapeutic product using intermittent pneumatic compression. When exercising, the body builds up lactic acid as a biproduct of muscle contraction. Ayre compression boots work to break up these small molecules and send stimulus to your nervous system. These compression boots are designed to help improve blood flow and circulation in the legs by mobilizing lactic acid, access fluids, and other toxins. Compex Ayre uses a dynamic pulsing compression up the limbs in waves for the duration of its use, which helps promote quick healing. Sit back, power up the boots, and enjoy your recovery for up to 60 minutes anywhere on a single charge.

Compex AYRE

The Compex AYRE are an excellent piece of medical equipment for any serious professional athletes or the die-hard fitness nut. Those who set out on a healthy lifestyle and train, you already know you have to invest in good technology for recovery and to avoid PT. After a run or leg day, they made my legs feel rejuvenated.
I immediately felt a difference using compression boots vs just stretching. The best thing about these is the fact they are 100% portable and do not rely on a power source outside of the onboard battery to function. You can take it on a field, in the gym, or to work for days where you are on your feet for long hours. In my office, I wear these to get my legs ready after a workout.
.:How to Use:.
There isn't much out there regarding how to use these things. The company would benefit greatly by teaching users via videos on YouTube. At the time of this review, information on these is scarce so you have to really be good at figuring things out to get up and running. The AYRE are portable compression boots that operate on two independent batteries lasting anywhere from 1-1.5 hours in my experience.

You simply strap on the medical-grade boots, press and hold power, and select either program F1 or F2. There are only two programs you can set, so that would be something to improve. To use, press and hold the power button and wait for the pumps to start working. During your initial trial, take time to write down what your chambers are set to and whether you need more or less compression. Soon, you will find what you like through trial and error. My settings are C1-120, c2-120 C3-110 C4-100 to give you an idea what you should end up with but your numbers should be different. Press and hold the set button to change chambers and click once to set the values for each chamber. You will spend some time adjusting the chambers to your liking and needs but after that… just press power and you are good to go.
After you figure it out, the interface is quite simple to use but I found it hard to tell if I was doing it right. Here is ANOTHER recommendation for making these better. Include a screen of some sort to be able to display something to let the user know what is happening. You You are unable to communicate what needs to be done or how to proceed which is a huge turn off for new not-so-techy users. There is not timer or screen to let you know what's happening, but I will tell you just sit back and enjoy until you are finished. It seems these are on an endless cycle until you turn them off.

Excellent protection in lightweight software
on September 1, 2020
Posted by: nkpstudios
from Frederick, MD
This is just what I need. No extra "optimizers" and speed up your PC bloatware. You get ransomware, exploit, malware, and web protection in a simple to use interface that is not resource intensive. Installation was fast and easy. AI algorithms scan in realtime to protect you and it scans Outlook attachments as well. After the initial scan, it found 3 trojans that were quarantined after I had been using another leading AV software... already feeling more secure.
Like most AV software, you will get the occasional upsell and promotion of their products, but NOTHING like others out there. I like the vast database of threats that you can click and it will take you to a page that informs you of the threat in depth. In all, this is definitely a good software you should consider ESPECIALLY with all the online students out there now.

Dominate on a different scale with the Razer Huntsman Mini TKL ~ a 60% gaming keyboard with cutting-edge Razer Clicky Optical Switches. Highly portable and ideal for streamlined setups, it~s time to experience lightning-fast actuation in our most compact form factor yet.

The Mini Minimalist Keyboard
This keyboard is perfect for those who want a clean gaming setup without all the space needed by a full size keyboard. Using a 60% keyboard you will have more room to work with your mouse and a more spacious workspace. I find the Huntsman Mini to be well built but a lot more plastic than metal. As a result, this keyboard often slides around which can be a bit of an annoyance. IMO, for this price, it should have included a wrist-rest but nonetheless you get an amazing keyboard overall.
I must say, this is NOT my favorite for just working on typical computer tasks like word processing, spreadsheets, and surfing the internet. The key combos just for the arrows are EXTREMELY inconvenient. I don't even want to mention this is TERRIBLE if you try to use it for content creation since you need arrow keys to skip frames and perform other functions. Basically, it comes down to if you mainly game then this is for you. If you want to use this as your everyday driver, there is a learning curve and finger gymnastics that will come into play. I do love the fact the doubleshot PBT key caps come with secondary functions printed on the keys, but unfortunately they do not illuminate with the top of the keys leaving you to memorize the board. I do like when you press the fn key, only those keys with a secondary function light up to take some of the guesswork out of it. It this does take some getting used to if you happen to use the arrow keys to do highlighting text. Some will need two hands for the fn keys and others will be finger gymnasts.
The responsiveness is DEFINITELY noticeable as well as how little pressure is actually needed to engage the switches. I find playing on this board to be effortless and just feels great overall. The texture on the keys is nice and the RGB lighting is top notch. USB-C is great making this futureproof, and the Synapse 3 software makes it a gamers dream. In short, this is a great keyboard for those who are actually gaming instead of multitasking on a PC. I recommend this to ONLY those whose main purpose of using a PC is to game; a full size keyboard will serve everyone else better.

How to sync my calendar?
Enjoy a simple, no hassle solution for superior oral health. Without switching products, you can choose to brush, water floss, or brush and water floss by pressing a button. With brushing and flossing modes, achieving white, fresh teeth is simple, while the 10 settings make it easy to achieve the desired amount of pressure. This Waterpik Sonic Fusion flossing toothbrush can be recharged quickly for added convenience and has a sleek appearance.
On the Sonic-Fusion is the water flosser as good as using the stand alone water pik flosser??
In my experience it is not. I ended up just staying with my original waterpik flosser stand alone and not this. My Sonicare toothbrush still does a better job so the brush part isn't even worth the trouble if you have a sonic toothbrush already.
