Bose does it right. TRUE wireless!

-=First Impressions=-
One word. Wow! Now this is quality. These feel like two little tanks. They have enough weight to feel solid without feeling awkward and cumbersome in your ear. The charging case in very nice. It's a magnetic charging cradle which securely aligns the charge pins on each bud. The case has a battery indicator on it to let you know the amount of reserve left in the case. Put them in your ear, and you will get that comfortable fit Bose is known for in all its other in ear headphones. Sound isolation is very good so you will have to be careful if you are a runner who likes to blast your music. They get loud but not overpowering where distortion comes into play. Sound is amazing from low volume to high. Well balanced sound with deep bass full mids and crisps highs at all volumes. Pairing is simple and they have auto shutoff to avoid dead batteries after a workout. Finish is elegant with a gloss black to match my Note 8. Buttons are a little stiff, but maybe those will "break-in" after a little while. Can answer calls and use virtual assistant with these headphones also.

Things I like:
+Total Wireless Solution - No wire bouncing on your neck or sticking to you when you work out. No more accidental tugging to annoy you when you are running.
+Built Quality/IPX4 - splash proof and sweat proof. High quality build!
+Quick Charge - a quick 15-minute charge provides up to 45 minutes of play time. On your drive to the gym, you can get enough charge to make it through a short workout if they are dead.
+Case - has battery reserve of 2 charges. That means 10 hours in the case and 5hrs on the headphones.
+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 Bose!
+Sound - full and rich sound from low bass through to crisp highs. No distortion and great sound isolation.
+Look - looks nice, high class glossy finish.
+Battery Life - I can get probably a week's worth without having to recharge the case. Easily makes it through a few gym sessions.

Things I would change:
-Width of headphones - They stick out a bit much, maybe this will be corrected in the future releases. Nothing more than aesthetics. Nothing to do with function.
-Button placement - Once I learn where the buttons are, this will work itself out, but they are really stiff and require a lot of pressure.
-Charging options - These only charge in the cradle. If anything happens to them, you will probably have to shell out more cash as they require a proprietary pin charger.
-No EQ controls in Bose Connect App - Functionality in the app is very basic. Auto-off timer, pairing, and renaming is basically all. There is also a find my buds let's you know where you last left your headphones. They are tracked separately.

It's simple… Buy if you are an active person or just want Bose sound in a comfortable well-built headphone set. No cord to annoy you and this is made to turn heads.

Creative Pro's Dream Keyboard MUST BUY!
on September 21, 2017
Posted by: nkpstudios
from Frederick, MD
First Impressions
MAN this is a heavy box. The keyboard came presented in a nice box. When you open it you know you have quality. It is beautifully colored to match the MX Master S2 mouse. They go perfect together. It just looks beautiful. The keys feel like a laptop keyboard more than a standard keyboard. If you have used their Solar Keyboard, it feels a lot like that. The more I use it, the more I like it. I just need time to adjust to the keyboard layout. I will break down what I like and don't for those who like bulleted lists, you will be happy.
++Pros++
+Build Quality - This is built like a tank! There is hardly any flex in the keyboard. For something this thin, its amazing. It has aluminum at the top to provide an elegant luxurious feel. I only worry about when things get under the keys since they are really close and low to the board itself.
+Backlit Keys - I love backlit keys. This is also a draw on battery power so also a draw. Currently there is no way to turn this feature off.
+Dial - I love the dial. It is almost like having a Surface Dial built in. It switched automatically from clicky wheel to a smooth jog wheel depending on the open application.
+Customizability - You can program things the way you like them. You can assign function keys to your liking. I hope more customizability is unlocked with future updates. You can change brightness on the backlighting, control volume, and there is a plethora of already set keys for everyday functions.
+Software and Pairing - This works well with your Logitech ecosystem. If you are already a Logitech wireless setup, setup is a breeze.
+Connectivity (Bluetooth or RF) - You can use this as a Bluetooth keyboard or use the USB dongle provided by Logitech.
+Quick Setup - I had this thing up and running in less than 30 seconds since I already had the software loaded from my previous Logitech Options software setup.
+Mac/Win Labels - The keyboard is labeled with both OS so Mac and Windows users can use this easily. Some users will find this confusing though.
+Future proof - This keyboard offers USB C charging which is great since our cell phones have started moving towards this. The cord provided feels of top shelf quality. I wish it would have come in a braided material though.

--Cons--
-Keys - I am coming from a mechanical gaming keyboard so it will take me some time to adjust. It feels nice to type with, but keys are very low profile. They feel like a stiff mushy key switch. It uses a scissor style key that feel nice to the touch and require little effort to engage.
-Backlight- There is no option to turn this off. A schedule option would be nice.
-Battery Life - It is rated to last a week. For $200 you would expect better battery life. In my opinion, one week isn't very good to me for a wireless keyboard. Monthly is something I would like to see between charge times.
-Lack of Tilt - There are no feet to adjust the angle of this keyboard. If you find it too low to your desk or like a keyboard raised, this may not be for you.
-Lack of Wrist Rest - There is no wrist rest or place to "get comfortable". For something geared towards creatives who spend a lot of time at the keyboard, this would have been a nice plus.
-Application Profiles - There is a lack of functionality for Premiere Pro, for example. Some applications in the Adobe suite are currently not available. This could be coming in future updates though.
-Key Spacing - This is just preference, but to me these keys are really close. I find myself hitting two keys at times. If you have "fat fingers" it will take time to adjust or maybe you will not like it at all.
-Dial is Extra Sensitive - I find myself activating the multiple options switch when just trying to turn the wheel. Again just probably need time to adjust.
-Price - This keyboard is definitely priced a little high for the combination of battery life and functionality. I would have liked to see the ability to customize every single key and maybe a row of macro keys.
-=Verdict=-
This is a go for sure. Since this the first release of a keyboard like this, Logitech is in a way pioneering so you will have early adopter growing pains. There aren't any glitches in the software, it is just basic right now. If you have the budget and want to build the ultimate setup for your workflow, get this and the Logitech MX Master S2 mouse. The software is in its infancy so I am sure functionality will be improved, but overall this is a VERY nice keyboard with lots of potential. It is a niche keyboard so this eliminates a lot of the customers out there who are not productivity buffs.

Great Cordless and Passable Full Size Vacuum
on September 20, 2017
Posted by: nkpstudios
from Frederick, MD
This vacuum is everything I always wanted in a cordless vacuum. We all know Shark products are very innovative and I am so glad this product finally came to market. It addresses many of the issues/inconveniences you find with competitors out there. Below is a quick breakdown on my experience with the DuoClean IF251.
Overview
This vacuum is solid, but like all handhelds must be lightweight so it is mostly plastic construction. The batteries are build solid too, also encased in plastic. The vacuum will last of you don't abuse it like everything in life. This is a versatile vac with features you won't find anywhere else on the market. Currently at the time of writing this review (9/20/2017), no other cordless vacuum in this tier offers swappable batteries that I know of. No other company offers a wand that flexes for under couches and other hard to reach areas. The "DuoClean" vacuum floor attachment works wonders. It has two vacuum heads for different surfaces offering "multifloor" versatility.

Pros
+Multiple/Swappable Batteries - This is easily my favorite feature and make it worth buying this vacuum vs others on the market. The batteries charge in close to 3.5 hours maybe 4 hours. There is always another one fully charged to keep you going. The batteries also have lights that tell you how much charge is in the pack. Pretty cool.

+Multi-Flex - This is great and a back saver. This feature allows you to "bend" the long wand in half to get under couches and tables without having to bend over. It also makes storing the vacuum easier in the upright position.
+Accessories - Accessories, accessories, and more accessories. This package comes with all the attachments you will ever need. There is something for everyone. There is a dusting attachment, power upholstery head, crevice tool, and brush tool to name a few.
+Charging Options - This vacuum has two ways to charge. You can charge the battery pack in a "dock" fashion or you can plug directly into the handle.
+ Duo Clean - Two brush heads with different purposes work together to clean. There is a soft bristle brush more for hardwood and flat floors and the standard carpet brush for shag and other styles of carpet. Awesome cleaning action.
+ LED "Headlights" - This is another feature I don't see other companies incorporating in their vacuums. It is like having headlights on your vacuum to see if you got up all the dirt in low light situations.
+LED indicator lights - There are indicator lights on the battery packs so you never have to wonder how much battery is left. This is not found on any other vacuum that I know of. There are also
+Quick Setup - Literally you are ready to go in three clicks including loading in the battery. Best experience in setting up.
+Lightweight - It is a little heavier than the other competitors, but to put it plainly, my 3yr old is vacuuming the floors in the house.
+Power - This vacuum holds its own in the cordless suction domain. No complaints at all, it packs as much power if not more than what is on the market right now.
+Low Maintenance - You really only need to charge batteries, empty the canister, and occasionally clear the brush heads to keep this running. The main thing to do is to keep the filters clean if you want to maintain powerful suction.
+Smart Response Technology - You can vary brush speed and suction with carpet mode and hard floor mode.
+Versatility - This thing could replace an upright, duster, and any other cordless vac you currently own. It works on floors and carpets easily adapting for either.
-Cons-
-Lack of Accessory Pouch/Bag - No where to put all the accessories provided.
-Lack of Accessory Pouch/Bag - No where to put all the accessories provided.
-Weight - A little heavier than other competitors, but that is probably because of the battery.
-Duo Clean Floor nozzle - The width is is a little smaller than a standard upright, but you can get used to it. Not a deal breaker, bout a nice to have. Coverage size requires you to clean more which results in battery usage.
-Standard battery life - These usage times are pretty much standard right now in the industry. Having another battery makes this an instant workhorse. You can purchase more batteries if you find yourself running out after two charges.
Estimated Times:
Hand vacuum only in "Max Power" mode: approximately 11 minutes
Hand vacuum only in "Extend Runtime" mode: approx. 23 minutes
Floor mode in "Max Power": approx. 12 minutes
Floor mode in "Extend Runtime": approx. 20 minutes
Carpet mode in "Max Power": approx. 11 minutes
Carpet mode in "Extend Runtime": approx. 14 minutes
Hand vacuum only in "Max Power" mode: approximately 11 minutes
Hand vacuum only in "Extend Runtime" mode: approx. 23 minutes
Floor mode in "Max Power": approx. 12 minutes
Floor mode in "Extend Runtime": approx. 20 minutes
Carpet mode in "Max Power": approx. 11 minutes
Carpet mode in "Extend Runtime": approx. 14 minutes
-Charge time - It takes almost 4 hours to charge a battery that only lasts 15mins-30mins. It would be nice to get "fast charging" technology from cell phones since they are both Li batteries.
-Feels "Self-Propelled" at times - On carpet this things pulls you around. I like it, but some may get tired of fighting this monster vac.

-=Verdict=-
BUY! If you are looking for a cordless vacuum with power and function, this is for you. It is in the same price range as the competition, but the thing is you get LEDs, swappable batteries, multiple batteries, and ergonomics unique to the industry. Get this rather than other vacuums of the top brand we all know. You will not be sorry.

Decent but not Great Soundbar
on August 11, 2017
Posted by: nkpstudios
from Frederick, MD
This soundbar looks good and sound good as well. But is it $450-$600 good? Um not even close. I would put this in the $200-$300 range for the sound quality. I have other brands from competitors that blow this out of the water. I will talk about what I like and don't and provide honest feedback you want.
-=LIKE=-
+Aesthetics - this is simply beautiful and well built. It is slim only about 1.5" high and looks modern and minimalistic. It is wide enough fit a 50" TV maybe. I have a 65" LG and it is about 4-5 inches short on both sides.
+Surround effect - the sound fills the room very nicely. It isn't like a true surround experience, but mimics it well. The sound in bass leaves a lot to be desired for this price point, but for the average Joe they will like it.
+Easy Setup - this was a breeze to do. Plug and play all the way.
+Wall Mountable - out of the box you can wall mount this. It comes with wall brackets that make your install look professional.
+High Resolution Audio - supports 192kHz/24 bit PCM audio file formats for clear, detailed sound.
+Chromecast Built-In - Need I say more about this? Most major music streaming apps are builtin to the soundbar.
+Auto Volume - It seems to balance the loud commercials with the program you are watching really well.
+Night Mode - This reduces the bass so you don't wake everyone up :)

-=DON'T=-
-Bass - I found the bass to be lacking. It has a bad time with really low frequencies but mids and higher frequencies sound great.
-Display Light Stays on - the display that show what input you are on stays lit and there is no option to turn it off or even dim it. Annoying at night when watching a movie. There is also a bright red light that stays on that lets you know it is powered off... just another annoying feature for you.
-Remote - I found the remote really simple with is a good thing for most but not may options. The remote feels like a toy as far as build quality and design is poor.
-Sound lag - The time it takes for this to receive sound after changing inputs or powering on is ridiculous. It can take anywhere from 5-10 secs some times. It even has problems sometimes where it does not receive signal and you have to turn it off then back on again.
-Not Powerful as I Expected - I expected powerful clean sound from this. Volume is sometimes low depending on what you are watching

If you can buy this on sale somewhere between $200-$300 buy it. Otherwise, I cannot justify paying this much for the sound it produces.

Great addition to a healthy kitchen
on July 28, 2017
Posted by: nkpstudios
from Frederick, MD
This appliance is easy to use and makes a "healthy" fried chicken :) It has a timer and temperature control dial to make things as simple as possible. There is a learning curve. I am still trying to master cooking times since I have never used something like this before. I wish there was a window or something so you can look at the food to determine if something is done.
Food is juicy and flavorful. I am searching for recipes for this. It is well built and I would have like to see more accessories for the price. Phillips makes good stuff and this appliance lives up to the quality you'd expect from them. The only con I could really think of is the size of the cooking area. It feels like you can only cook for one person at a time. There is a larger version of this fryer that I would recommend if you have a larger family. Enjoy, it is a great way to cut back on grease and fatty foods.

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.
+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

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

Buy if you are ONLY using this outside and want water resistant speaker. Not for everyone who cares about clarity and crisp mid range. Not good sound indoors.

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.
