Stay aware and immersed in your music with these Sony wireless in-ear headphones. Digital noise cancellation blocks out external chaos while the Ambient Sound Mode lets in the noises you need to hear. These Sony wireless in-ear headphones work with Google Assistant for hands-free research and commands at the gym or on the run.

Gym/Runner Buy... Other Think About It
on May 26, 2018
Posted by: nkpstudios
from Frederick, MD
-=First Impressions=-
First, I must say I am pleasantly surprised by these ear buds. I was shocked by the sound quality from the moment I turned them on. However, I don't see much difference in the other modes aside from the noise cancellation mode which is just okay at best. Sony has managed to create a comfortable and secure fit without irritation or wear fatigue. I often forgot I had them in. The buds are light weight and offer great sound isolation because of the in-ear design. They mount your ear much like JayBirds do using ear wings that are customizable like the ear gels are.

The design choice is different and reminds me of lima beans or jelly beans. This ok though because they don't look weird or stick out too much from your ear like some other brands. There are a limited number of buttons, which I do not like, and they are very hard to press/find. IPX4 provides peace of mind when I am out running and it decides to rain or I start sweating. Overall, very good and worth a look. I will dive deeper in the next few paragraphs.
+Pros+
+aptX - Hard to find in wireless headphones these days, but these have it.
+IPX4 - Splash proof is not waterproof but it is peace of mind while out in the weather.
+Fit - I love the fit and customizability of these ear buds.
+Sound Quality - Sound is full and bass is powerful, this is also a negative for some listeners. This can be addressed using the EQ.
+EQ - App offers EQ to turn down the "EXTRA BASS" if you are not a fan of it.
+NFC Pairing - Too bad Apple users, you will never know what this feels like just tapping the headphones and clicking ok to pair.
+Audio Synced - These do not have a lag when listening to video. Many others out there have around a 1-3 second delay when watching videos.
-Cons-
-Battery Life - Offers up to 3 hours of use and the case offers like 2 charges for a total of 9 hours.
-Bluetooth 4.1 - we are in 2018, we should all be getting Bluetooth 5.0 now. Disappointing but range is still solid.
-No USB-C - I would expect to see USB type C in 2018. For some reason these, like many still use Micro USB.
-Cradle Design - I am not fond of the charger implementation. It is a cheap plastic case with a hinge that I worry will break. I don't like the swivel door.
-Charging - This takes getting used to. Since the buds are a tight fit, you need to wiggle them and press hard to get them to charge. I also do not like the fact, like many wireless options today, you can only charge in the case. If you lose the case or it is damaged, you will need to shell out more cash or buy new ear buds because they charge through pins.
-Not Waterproof - This only offers "splash" protection which is disappointing.
-LED Placement - Terrible placement of the LED. It should be on the front if you are putting the charger in the back. You have to look at the back to see if it is charged. Disappointing for sure.
-Buttons - There is a lack of buttons for simple functions like volume. There are 2 buttons and they are VERY poorly designed. They are stiff and hard to find sometimes. I wish this would be done better.
-No Stereo Calls - Only the left ear bud is utilized instead of both which is also disappointing.
-Sound Modes - I can hardly tell the difference when activating the other modes besides "Noise Cancelling". Ambient Sounds does not effectively amplify the sounds around me.
-Too Bassy - Low end is HIGHLY favored with these. This will be a turn off for some, but again this is correctable in app using the EQ.
-Call Audio - Call audio often sounded crackly when talking with men who speak loudly. I tried lowering the volume but it still didn't help. Bassy and powerful voices will sound terrible in the ear bud. For music during workout these are a winner!
-=THE VERDICT=-
WORTH A LOOK! With all the "negatives" I posted, they were really personal preference. Many of these things people can look past, but as a reviewer I must share everything I find fairly. The one true negative for me is battery life. 3 hours is not that great and I think it is downright pathetic. You do have a charging case to use but it too is a pain trying to open and put the buds to charge. I didn't time how long it takes to get a usable charge but I would guess about an hour. Looks are relative to each buyer so not a big deal. I love the fit and splash proofing is welcomed. If you are a gym rat or a runner, these are a buy but only if you always leave them in the charger.

Good...just good enough
on May 13, 2018
Posted by: nkpstudios
from Frederick, MD
This camera is above average. It has decent picture quality but I found it to be focusing more on the dark dashboard rather than outside my windshield. Things are legible but I wish it was focusing correctly. It can accept up to 128GB microSD cards which gives plenty of recording time. Dynamic range is very good and colors are replicated fairly accurately. Mounting the cameras are a breeze, but I do not like how flimsy the front camera mount feels. It moves quite easily when you touch the camera but not during your drive. It feels cheap but gets the job done. The rear camera quality is just terrible being it is VGA 480p. You can see what happens but don't rely on image quality. I like the dual channel recording and the small battery that is in the unit itself. All in all, if you are looking for a dash cam, there may be better ones out there but this is a good value for the money.

Floor cleaning made easy.
on April 18, 2018
Posted by: nkpstudios
from Frederick, MD
Setup and Use 5/5
This product was so easy to setup and use. I didn't need instructions and was ready to go in around 5 minutes including the filling of the reservoir. A few clicks and presses and you are off to clean. It has a really long cord of 25ft so you can get busy and not be interrupted by plugging and unplugging. You just need to press the type of floor you are working on and squeeze the trigger.
Build Quality 4/5
Built almost entirely of plastic, it feels like it will last a while. If you owned Bissell products in the past, you can expect the same as far as built quality. I only worry about the brush head cover if you hit it on a refrigerator or something metallic. Being plastic, I worry about cracking but only time will tell.
The brush roll is made with two materials. It feels like a soft microfiber material for the bulk of the cleaning head with one row of a nylon scrub brush spiraled around the head. This thing is just amazing. I was worried about it leaving a lot of water, but the suction on this thing is very good. I didn't see any scratching which is a plus.
Performance 4/5
I took away a point because it doesn't do as well on area rugs. The area rugs absorb a lot of solution before being ready to clean. It is NOT a carpet shampooer so don't buy this if that is what you are looking for. It works decent for "freshening up" tired area rugs. I used this on a low shag rug which is the type you find in doctor offices. It was difficult to clean with it because the area rug kept getting sucked up so I just gave up on it after a while.
On hardwood and any other non-porous surface it works perfectly. I experienced dry times of anywhere between 5 and 8 minutes. It doesn't spray tons of cleaner which is why it is safe for porous materials too. It doesn't leave floors very wet and you always get clean water on the surface. I cannot say enough about how well this thing cleans. Suction on this machine is excellent so it leaves floors only damp not soaked.
+Things I Like+
+ Easy Setup - like I said earlier, I was up and running in less than 5 minutes.
+ Easy Cleanup - press the release button and flip the top on the tank and dump. Easily rinses and clean up in the tray is simple.
+ Long Cord - at 25ft, you have plenty of room to move around.
+ Large Area Cleaning - this solution reservoir seems to last forever. I cleaned my kitchen to test it and still had more than half left. I then cleaned a runner area rug that was the length of my counter and still have more than half.
+ Lightweight - my wife and I had no problems maneuvering this while cleaning.
+ Vacuum and Mop at once - You don't need to sweep or vacuum before using this, it saves you a step.
-Things I Would Change-
- Water Not Heated - if you are trying to clean, you would expect some sort of heating for the solution. You can put hot water in the reservoir but depending on how long you are cleaning, it may not maintain its temperature.
- Different Brush Heads - I would like to see a brush made with only the microfiber and another one with scrub brushes. Maybe a squeegee head to dry floors quicker too.
- Lack of Colors - I'm not a fan of the purple. I hope other options come soon.
-=THE VERDICT=-
The value and time savings you get with this, it is a MUST BUY! If you are tired of a mop and a bucket… BUY THIS! If you are a clean freak and want to easily clean your floors… BUY THIS. If you have hate sweeping before mopping… BUY THIS! I don't see myself going back to the old fashioned way of cleaning floors. BUY BUY BUY!

Above Average Entry Level Shaver
on April 9, 2018
Posted by: nkpstudios
from Frederick, MD
I wish there was something exciting here, but it is an electric shaver. There are no bells and whistles and there isn't much to deep dive into here. It is the most basic 3 head shaver. They are single blades so it takes a little more time to get a good shave. I have used others with 3 blades in each head and they cut so much faster. There isn't anything fancy here at all. It lacks the ability to shave while plugged in, so this is a MAJOR negative. If you run out of battery you will look stupid with a bad shave.
Pros
+Wet/Dry Shaves
+ Long Battery Life
+Ergonomic Design
+Trimmer for Edging
Cons
-Basic Blades - Single blade x 3 heads
-Replacement Cost - The replacement cost almost half the price of the shaver.
-Lack of Corded Mode - When charging this, it will not work. If you run out of battery, you are out of luck since you cannot shave with it plugged in.
-=||The Verdict||=-
If you are in the market for an electric shaver, put the money you would spend towards this one and get a higher end model. There is an 8 series Norelco has that offers a much better shave.

Fun gimmicky speaker with lots of bass
on March 26, 2018
Posted by: nkpstudios
from Frederick, MD
-=+First Impressions+=-
It looks visually appealing. This feels solidly built. It looks nice and offers deep bass if you are into that. I love the lights and ability to customize it to my liking. It is waterproof so I can take it to the pool or a BBQ and not have to worry about it. If offers a corny sound effect system (Party Booster Mode) in which you can add sounds to what you are listening to… just not for me but I won't dock it for trying something new. I had some trouble pairing the speaker through the app. For some reason it would say the speaker wasn't paired when it was and I had to disconnected it a few times to get the app to work. Use it like a regular speaker without the Sony Music Center app and it works just fine.
Build 5/5
Built like an amphibious tank but not as ugly. I do not worry about this thing breaking and it offers waterproofing for added protection.
Sound 4/5
It is the typical Sony sound profile. It sounds bassy and does not accurately represent highs and mids well once you go past 60% volume.
Features 5/5
=NFC Pairing - simple one tough pairing.
=Battery Life - roughly 24 hours to keep you going.
=Lighting Effects - with speaker lights, line lights, and strobes you will have enough to keep you entertained. This ups the cool factor on this. Good gimmick to get the younger crowd in.
=Built SOLID - Waterproof (IP67), dustproof, shockproof (MIL-STD 810 F Method 516.5) and rustproof. Need I say more?
=Wireless Daisy Chaining - when you get this to work it is great. I struggled to get the app to establish a reliable connection and it force closed a lot. Maybe an update will fix this.
=Grippy - the finish is conducive to a safer hold.
=Connectivity Options - Stereo Mini Jack (IN), USB A Terminal (DC OUT only), micro USB (DC IN), DC IN
Pros
+Lighting Effects - strobe effects, mood lighting, and customizability are good.
+Battery Life - rated at 24 hours, I never had to charge it the same day during use.
+Grippy - even though it is big, I never felt I would drop it because of the finish and "squishy" build
+Connectivity Options - Offers headphone jack along with bluetooth
+Tank Build - Waterproof (IP67), dustproof, shockproof (MIL-STD 810 F Method 516.5) and rustproof. Need I say more? LOL
Cons
-App - the app is TERRIBLE! It often crashes when you try to group speakers. I tried grouping the XB41 and XB21 and it force closed every time. You need a few things to change sounds and colors to your liking too.
-DJ Fiestable App - interface is poor but once you figure it out it works.
-Sound - I was underwhelmed by the sound. It is bass heavy but quickly distorts with volume. Sound is not accurately represented but this is more of a fun speaker than an audiophile's dream.
-Old Style Charging - You need to charge using a charge block rather than micro USB like other speakers. If you lose this, you will not be able to charge your speaker without buying another charger.
The Verdict
I cannot 100% say this is for everyone. If you are a Sony Fan and already have other Sony speakers you will probably like this. It has plenty of things to keep you busy and it is fun for a party for sure. At this price point, for sound quality alone, I would say there are better options out there.

Fun speaker for portable use

These Sony headphones have a swivel design that makes them easy to store in tight spaces.

Best Entry Level Noise Cancelling Headphones!
on March 26, 2018
Posted by: nkpstudios
from Frederick, MD
-=First Impressions=-
They are well packed in typical Sony style. Well presented with everything you need to enjoy music. Quickly paired using NFC and I put them on. They are light but yet feel solidly built. Noise cancelling is above average, they are nowhere near the top tier NC headphones available but they work GREAT.

+Pros+
+aptX - Hard to find in wireless headphones these days, but these have them.
+Digital Sound Enhancement Engine (DSEE)-Restores detail to your digital music.
+Battery Life - Offers up to 35 hours of use and lasts up to 200 hours on standby mode.
+Artificial Intelligence Noise Cancelation (AINC)-Analyzes background sound and adjusts it for optimal performance on airplanes and other noisy environments, so you can enjoy a focused, immersive sound environment.
+Fit-Over ear design is comfortable on the head and ears. Lightweight and doesn't have wear fatigue. Rotating ear cups are a plus. VERY comfortable over ear fit.
+NFC Pairing - Too bad Apple users, you will never know what this feels like just tapping the headphones and clicking ok to pair.
+Sound Quality - These sound great. They offer clear sound and cover the whole spectrum extremely well.
+Wired Option - You can plug in to a headphone jack (sorry iPhone users LOL) for better sound and longer battery life.
-Cons-
-Bluetooth 4.1 interface - we are in 2018, we should all be getting Bluetooth 5.0 now.
-No USB C - I would expect we are to see USC C in 2018. For some reason these, like many still use Micro USB.
-No Case - Nothing to protect your investment, not even a little bag to put them in.
-=THE VERDICT=-
BUY! If you want lightweight budget Noise Canceling headphones these are for you. Noise cancelling is good, not great, but it does a nice job. Sound quality is there as usual and for the price, I think you will be hard pressed to find a better option. I just wish they came with some sort of way to store them in a bag or case for the price.

Not wowed... high expectation but perform well.
on February 28, 2018
Posted by: nkpstudios
from Frederick, MD
-=First Impressions=-
These feel well packed and fairly well built. For what they are charging I would expect better build quality but it is still nice. It is fairly easy to setup and the hardest part will be trying to setup digital out from your TV if you are using a surround system. I have a Samsung TV from 2017 and it didn't seem to figure out I just wanted constant audio out in ADDITION to HDMI ARC support. This has nothing to do with Sennheiser but worth mentioning. They cover and fit my ears perfectly and are lightweight. I went on a binge watch for like 6 hours on Netflix and didn't remember I had these on. They don't do ANY noise isolation but that is to be expected since they are open back headphones. You will still hear your surroundings if that matters to you. Good sound, I expected way better but it is still good. Setup was a breeze. Connection dropped in and out quite frequently but range was great. I think this has to do with all the wireless interference I have in my home. There are around 29 wireless devices and 3 wireless routers/Aps so I didn't expect perfection.
Things I like:
+Mobility - Not restricted to a cord and can move freely.
+Wireless Range - I live in a three story home and had coverage on all three floors. The base was in the basement to test the range. Advertised a little over 300ft. I would say it is pretty accurate.
+Rechargeable/Battery Life - It is always charged when you use them. Just make sure you hang them up after each use. I made it to 6 hrs of use and have no issues believing the advertised 18hr battery life. I can't watch TV that long so I can't confirm that.
+Sound Quality - Sound is reproduced almost exactly like the source's quality. Rich sound from low bass through to crisp highs.
+Fit - Fit was perfect and balanced. Batteries are located one in each ear cup which makes weiand not one single movement during my run or workout. I ran about 5 miles and then did my weight routine. Not a single wiggle. Great job Bose!
+Setup - Quick and easy. Plug in your source and power them on… everything works!
Things I would change:
-Open Back - Just preference, but I don't like hearing my surrounding, but they do sound good because they are open.
-Lack of controls - There isn't anything but volume buttons and balance. No EQ or amplification options.
-Volume - For me these are low but sound good. I like them louder but it doesn't take away from anything.
-=The Verdict=-
If these go on sale and you need wireless sound for digital or audio inputs get them. There are other options out there. I had high expectations for the brand and price but I can honestly say I was underwhelmed. Buy on sale not full price. Check out the lower model in the lineup too.

Go Get These!!!! Business People and Casual Users
on February 13, 2018
Posted by: nkpstudios
from Frederick, MD
-=First Impressions=-
Typical Jabra presentation with secure and simple packaging. My first thoughts were "these look so business/corporate, they could replace my Plantronics Voyager Edge". Fitting took some getting used to, but once I found the right tips they did not fall out or move at all. Initially, you may feel discomfort while trying to find YOUR proper ear tips, but that goes away fairly quickly. These are pure quality and built to last! The Elite 65t buds are a little bigger than a nickel. The case is pocket sized and fits nicely in the palm your hand although it takes some practice for one handed operation. I wish there was a way to get more accurate battery representation for the case in app or a light bar/indicator. Sound isolation is very good and I think these are the most well balanced for music and voice calls. The best part is you will NOT look like Frankenstein with these in your ears! I love the low profile build of these.
Things I like:
+Bluetooth 5.0 - these are the ONLY ones on the market with Bluetooth 5.0 as of this review 2/13/2018.
+Total Wireless Solution - no wires bouncing on your neck or sticking to you when you work out. No more accidental tugging to annoy you when you are running. Lightweight and can go hours without noticing them.
+Built Quality/IP55 - splash proof and dust proof. Offers 2yr warranty on IP55 protection! Built like tanks!
+Fit - the fit was perfect and not one single movement during my run or workout. I ran about 5 miles and then did my weight routine. Not a single wiggle. Great job Jabra!
+Quick Charge - a quick 15-minute charge provides up to 90 minutes of play time!
+Case - has battery reserve of 2 charges. That means 10 hours in the case and 5hrs on the headphones for 15hrs total.
+Battery Life - I can probably get a week's worth of use before needing to recharge the case. Easily makes it through a few gym sessions.
+Sound & EQ - nice balanced sound. Not too bass heavy and not sharp in highs. I would say it is a sound profile similar to Jaybirds. These have great sound isolation though. EQ available through app.
+Mono/Stereo - these can be used in stereo or mono. Use only the right side if you want to have a single Bluetooth experience
+Call Quality - in stereo these are amazing. Callers cannot tell if I am using a Bluetooth or not.
+Pass Through Sound - these use the on-board mics to allow sound in so you can hear around you while listening to music.
+Sound Synced - there is no latency between video playback and audio in my ears. It is perfect and not a complaint in this department.
+Look - looks nice, business/executive styling. Very subtle and no not attract much attention.
Things I would change:
-No aptX - no support for aptX or aptXhd. Sound quality is good, but this should be standard for all wireless headphones with BT5.0
-Button Placement - after some practice, I have figured out where things are. The left ear controls are difficult to find and press.
-Buttons - the left side buttons are very stiff and require a LOT of pressure to activate. This make the earbud uncomfortable since you press into your ear to activate.
-Charging - you're only able to charge in the cradle. If anything happens to it, you will probably have to shell out more cash as they require a proprietary pin charger.
-No Tracking - there should be some sort of way to blast sound to these in case you lose them. An alert with last known location should be an option when out of range.
-No USB C - it's unbelievable we are still using micro USB in 2018. I worry I may break the connector since everything I own now has USB C.
-App - the app is excellent with regards to features but these do not get stored once you put them away.
-Lost Settings - I would incorporate some way of storing last used settings to the ear buds so you don't need to use the app to reactivate them each time.
-Range - these are advertised as BT5.0. That means you should get around 120ft range with them if you have a phone that also supports BT5.0. Not the case here. I seriously doubt these are actually BT5.0 being that the range is around 30ft like BT4.0.
-Case - I would like to see a light bar or indicator LCD that shows battery level. One light isn't good enough for me. Also, it is tough to use with one hand. It takes practice but can be done. Maybe wireless charging in the case would be nice as well.
-Voice Commands - there is a terrible delay in the time you say "answer" and the time the call is answered using voice commands
-=The Verdict=-
These are a great release from Jabra. Audiophiles, these are not for you since you know only a wired listening device produces the best sound. If you want new Bluetooth headset, these are a buy. They offer versatility without sacrificing call quality and music quality. These are built to last.

Should be in EVERYONE'S kitchen!
on December 20, 2017
Posted by: nkpstudios
from Frederick, MD
I must say this has virtually replaced my main oven. It is beautiful and well-constructed. It blends right in to modern kitchens with its immaculate stainless steel and sleek design. I couldn't complain too much with this. I look for things to pick apart a product when I review them. The list of wonderful things HEAVILY outweighs my minimal gripes since I can't have only positive things to say for a product.
Things to Improve...
=PreHeat Glitch - while it's doing so, it flashes "PrE HEaT" in the area above the oven icon that displays the time. While it's heating, I set all the dials for temp, type of cook, and timer. When it's finished preheating, the timer defaults back to 1 hour resulting in me setting the timer again! This is annoying and dangerous if you aren't paying attention! This can all be avoided by setting all the dials before pressing Start so you don't have to reset the timer after preheating.
=Dials - The dials do not coincide with the tactile response you would expect. Instead of one click making a change to the indicator, it takes a few "clicks" to move an indicator. It reminds me of an old stereo you have to fully turn to get it to move the volume up one. Not a huge deal, but it will take some getting used to.
=Temperature Setting - The temperature setting increases in increments of 10 except for certain common temps like 375 and 425. I would have liked increments of 5 instead of 10 throughout.
Things I love!
+Easy Cleanup - everything provided as far as trays and pans are non-stick coated. It feels high quality and thick.
+Multi Levels - there are 4 positions you can place your rack to ensure proper cooking.
+Internal Light - lets you see what is going on through a big glass door.
+Cook Times - it cooks faster and more evenly than our previous Cuisinart. You will need to adjust your cook times once you get a feel.
+Performance - it performs much like a regular oven and thus it has become our main oven.
+Preheats Quickly - the convection setting is the best and preheats in a snap.
+Accessories - comes with a high quality pizza pan and cooking tray.
+Insulation - it stays relatively save to the touch. It gets warm, but I never worry about getting burned. It has double pane glass in the door too!
+Bumpers/Spacers - it has small bumpers along the sides and longer ones on the back. This keeps it away from the wall to ensure proper air flow and avoids melting things (if it got that hot).
+Small Footprint - it doesn't take a lot of space on the counter like I thought. It is the perfect balance for capacity and footprint on the counter.
+Energy Savings - since this performs so efficiently, it will save you money. The time and energy it takes to heat a full size oven will make you want to use this more. If it fits in there, we use it instead of the big oven.
+Display - the display is large and very readable. It also is backlit with a blue light that most modern appliances use.
-=The Verdict=-
I have nothing to say other than if you are looking for a small oven or are looking for more efficient ways to cook… this is for you. This should be in everyone's kitchen!

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.
