Genuine Sports Headphones, Great Noise Isolation
on April 8, 2018
Posted by: teasten
from New York
There are a lot of sports headphones on the market. The JLab Epics are IP66 sweat resistant but what sets them apart is the ear hooks. These are PROPER ear hooks in that they have a thin strip of wire in them (I guess it's wire) that lets you mould the hooks to sit tight and comfortably around your ear. Most sports headphones just have plastic hooks that flop around. Another big distinction is the JLabs noise isolation is amazing. They have a bit of rubber that fits around the buds, so when they're in you're ear the connect is sealed. The isolation is almost as good as noise cancellation. Wow. The other thing that sets these apart is the charger is not micro USB but a magnetic attachment. I have been more prone to charging these as I don't have to fiddle with an annoying charging flap. Just drop in the charger and it all goes. Sound quality is great. You can adjust equalizer by pressing the volume up and down simultaneously for 3 different preset (I prefer the bass boost version). Very happy with the JLab Epics - finally a quality sounding sports headphones that stay in my ears and on even during heavy workouts.

Easy WiFi Setup using HP Smart App
on March 25, 2018
Posted by: teasten
from New York
I wanted a color printer/scanner that could connect to our WiFi so that anyone in home could print. Setup was incredibly easy using the HP Smart App (free). The app is almost the biggest selling point, as it's user friendly, works, and you suddenly realize you can do 90% of your printing wireless straight from your phone (PDFs, photos, etc). LOVE IT!
Printer quality is great . I can't comment on how long ink lasts and I need to do the math of whether it makes sense to move to one of HP ink subscription plans (Instant Ink).
Scanner is brilliant. Scans are crisip, clean and in color. Great for archiving paperwork.
Recommended.

Cute Speaker - Great Sound, Long Battery Life
on March 25, 2018
Posted by: teasten
from New York
I own 3 of these (a black XB21 and a red XB41) The Sony XB21 white speaker is the firm favorite in the house. We connect them all together with the Party Chain (what Sony calls their networking system for speakers) and use them when entertaining on our deck. Battery life of the XB21 is 12 hours. The thing to love is that the XB21 is waterproof which is super important in a portable speaker as you want to be able to take them indoor and out without a worry.

Perfect Portable Sound - link to make BIG sound
on March 25, 2018
Posted by: teasten
from New York
I purchased 2 of these XB21s for my kids. I didn't want them to have smart speakers. I just wanted them to have good portable speakers that they could take with them to summer camp, out when they visit friends and (soon) college. Reasons to get the Sony XB21. Water proof (IP67) means it's waterproof, you can link multiple units together (Sony call it Party Chain) so a few of these can make a big party sound, they charge by USB and the battery lasts 12 hours - a full day of fun. Personally I think the lights are a bit of a gimmick, but my kids love them (the lights can be switched off if you don't like). Overall a great unit and highly recommended.

AMAZING Sound - lights can be disabled
on March 25, 2018
Posted by: teasten
from New York
I genuinely in shock at how loud the Sony XB-41 can go. We're talking hearing loss levels of loudness should you need it without any loss of quality, weird pops, etc. It's just flawless. The lights can be disabled (which I did) and it remembers that setting (yay!) between power cycles. Battery lasts forever and it charges using either USB or a DC power plug. Not sure why they have both, as I prefer USB as it means you can charge almost anywhere.
Tip. The first time you connect via Bluetooth you are invited to install the Sony app (it's free). If you don't install the app you can still control all of the XB-41 features via buttons that are behind the watertight rubber panel.

A good DIY Home Security System
on March 13, 2018
Posted by: teasten
from New York
Reviewing a home security system is a bit hard, because unless you get broken into it's hard to go "yeah, this is awesome". What I can tell you is that setup was easy. The Base Station looks like an oversized air freshener and doubles as the alarm, so make sure you pick a good location as you're going to have to live with looking at it. The entry sensors were the easiest to configure (doors, windows) and are enough to get started. The motion sensors took a bit more thought, as gave some thought to how else a criminal would enter my home. Keypad went near a door (not telling you which one) because you can also disable the alarm with the included key fob After a few days of use I have had no false alarms. I do wish it came with a camera and I would happily have had one less motion sensor in the box to get the benefit of a camera. Love that Simplisafe has no contracts. I feel like I have all the benefits of a premium alarm system without the headache of long-term contracts. Happy.

Great business projector mixed value for home
on March 13, 2018
Posted by: teasten
from New York
The Epson Home Cinema 660 Projector is a great business/office projector. Super bright, works well in room with lights. Obviously not a brightly lit room, but you can have lights on for students/staff to take notes and the projector is visible. The Epson 660 takes HDMI in, so it works well with a laptop. I tried it with my Nintendo Switch, but at SVGA resolution the display is good not great. For movies the Epson 660 is perfectly OK and the sound from the inbuilt speakers is good. I'm super happy as this projector can serve dual use for work and we'll have a great summer with movie nights on the back deck.

Best WiFi Range Extender with Ethernet
on March 10, 2018
Posted by: teasten
from New York
The Linksys RE9000 is the best WiFi Range Extender with Ethernet that I have ever used. Our home is large enough to get dead spots of WiFi and sometimes, even worse really, the "sometimes WiFi works and doesn't" problem so we needed a Range Extender. I wanted a range extender with ethernet ports, as I like to have flexibility on placement and using a wired connection if I can.
Setup was incredibly easy. Your grandma could set this up. It even gives a nice on-screen graphic to help you know if you're in the "sweet spot" of where to place the router. Once it's all setup you will have a second WiFi connection in your home with an _ext name. So you will need to manually switch devices to use the extender. You can use the same name as your original WiFi but your device might not automatically connect to the extender.
Bonus and worth to know is the Linksys RE9000 can also be used a standard WiFi router (connected to your modem). It's great that it can double as an extender or as your main WiFi router.
Also for the record, I am using the Linksys RE9000 with a Verizon FIOS combo modem router WiFi device with no problems.

Best value on ear bluetooth headphones with voice
on March 10, 2018
Posted by: teasten
from New York
If you're after the best value bluetooth on ear headphones, the Sony WH-CH500 are perfect. They offer great audio (good bass, treble) and good noise isolation. Battery life is rated at 20 hours. I haven't used them that long (yet) but that's more than enough to get you through a day of use (or a really long flight). They paired easily with my iPhone but if you use Android they have NFC pairing. It's not fully clear in the description or package but these have a mic and you can use them for voice calls as well. Highly recommended. Not really important, but made me smile, the pairing voice has an English accent which sounds cool.

Internet Security for all your devices
on March 4, 2018
Posted by: teasten
from New York
I never knew or the first Bit Defender Box, so can't compare this to the original. I can say the Bit Defender Box 2 is perfect for the smart home, where you have laptops, tablets, watches, assistants, TVs, switches and more all connected to the internet. You need the Bit Defender Box 2 to give you peace of mind that your home network is secure. Setup was relatively straight forward - although you don't make the mistake of download the Bit Defender Box app from the appstore, you need the Bitdefender Central App instead. It took me half a day to configure everything, mainly because I was going through changing my WiFi connection to the new SSID for the Bit Defender Box 2. The mobile app (on iOS) is quite powerful and gives you detailed stats on usage, devices, threats, etc. You can also setup safe browsing rules (great for monitoring your kids internet usage). A bonus of the Bit Defender Box 2 is it comes with a 1 year subscription to Bitdefender Total Security for all your devices (any device that can install software). System impact of the software was low (i.e. no slow downs, etc). You need to renew the subscription to the Bitdefender Box 2 every year. I do wish the Bitdefender Box 2 had multiple ethernet ports - but other than that, very happy and looking forward to seeing how it protects me over the next 12 months. Also want to add, if you have family members who are BAD at security (parents, siblings, etc) this is the perfect device to buy and setup in their home - so you know someone less tech savvy won't end up compromising their PC or your network.

The Model One E350 is the perfect city companion with it's ultra lightweight and foldable design. The 700 watts of peak power will propel you to your destination with ease and style.
What’s the recommended age
I have had it about a week, based on the weight (26lb) I would say adults or late teens. It's relatively heavy. Kids can ride it, but it might be too much for them to carry around when not in use.

The first, and only, drug-free sleep aid solution to use continuous and precise cooling technology to reduce metabolic activity in the frontal cortex of the brain. Quiet your racing mind and fall into deeper, more restorative sleep. Customers have also reported relief from menopause, hot flashes, stress, insomnia, migraines, and that it’s great for relaxation.
The description for this product is lacking here . What and how does it do what it does and does it help people to sleep better? How long does the charge last and is it connected to a bluetooth phone connections? What is an algorithm?
I own this. It doesn't connect via Bluetooth or need an app. The idea is that it cools your forehead and slows your metabolism. I find it useful, I can't sleep with it on because it makes some noises which bother me (but I am very sensitive).
