The Earth friendly headphone
on April 22, 2023
Posted by: Wishkid
The Sony’s WH-CH520, the earth friendly headphones. First thing you will notice is the packaging. It is light, small, and when you open it you won’t find a lot of stuff inside like we normally use to. The box you can tell immediately is recycled material and it does not contain any plastic packaging inside. In the box you get the headphones, USBC charging cable and some manuals. Setting them up was a breeze, I do appreciate how Sony is implementing such an easy way of pairing their devices with Android and Windows operating systems. Just by turning the headphone on, it will automatically show up on your mobile device or Windows PC and ask if you want to pair it.
The headphone itself is light and it looks simple. On the right ear cups there are 3 buttons with multiple functions. It also houses the mic and the charging port. The buttons are used to control music, summon the assistant and phone calls. This is a budget headphone so don’t expect a premium build. It is mostly plastic and the same goes for the cups foam cover. The cover for the speakers also seems to be made of some type of recycled material. However, don’t be fooled by the looks, they sound pretty darn good for being budget headphone. I was impressed with the sound, it was loud, clear, and with a clean bass. It was not the type of deep base that you’ll get from a more premium headphone but it was good enough for this device.
These headphones also support 360 reality audio. To take advantage of its capabilities you have to use the Sony headphone app. In the app you turn on the 360 audio feature. You have the option to measure your ear size, apparently the app analyzed it and adjust the 360 audio accordingly. To use that feature you’ll have to download a separate 360 reality audio app and create an account as well. I honestly didn’t see the purpose of that app but it was required to be installed to finish the setup for 360 audio. I honestly didn’t notice a difference in sound without the 360 app. Call quality was good as well. Person on the other end was able to hear me loud and clear.
When it comes to batteries they will last a long time. Manufacturer suggest 50hrs of continuous play time and about 200hrs standby. The only negative I found about this headphone is the earcup size. They seem to be made for a person with small ears. I consider myself to have an average ear size not too big or too small. This headphone will not cover my entire ear, you will also notice that the ear cups are not that big compared to some other headphones. Despite their size, they were able to produce a good clean sound, but not the seal you prefer to mask the outside noise especially if you have large ear size. That’s a trade off because this device does not support noise canceling. Another thing I noticed, after prolonged use my ears got a little warm and had a little bit of sweat.
Overall this is not a perfect headphone and if you want close to a perfect device it will come with a higher price tag. For the price you pay for these, you’re getting good earth friendly headphones with good quality sound and great battery life and that’s of course if you don't have large ears.

ASUS TUF Gaming A16 Gaming Laptop gives you a durable and powerful, yet budget friendly gaming experience on Windows 11. The TUF Gaming A16 packs an 8-core AMD Ryzen 7 7735HS CPU and Radeon RX7600S V8G GPU into a thin gaming laptop. Enjoy a fast 165Hz refresh rate, 16GB of DDR5 RAM, and 512GB of SSD storage all wrapped in a light 4.85 lbs chassis. The future is powerful and long-lasting.
Posted by: Wishkid
This Asus TUF gaming laptop equipped with AMD Ryzen 7 is a pretty solid budget gaming laptop. At this screen size of 16 inches which is great for portability. It is extremely light for this to be a gaming laptop, and is very well made. This specific model comes with an AMD Ryzen 7 7735HS chip running at 3.20Ghz, 16GB of ram, and 500GB SSD. That keyboard has a backlight which can be customized with the included Armour software but it does not change colors. The track pass is very responsive and smooth. The keys have good feedback and it has the number pad.
The screen is 1080P Full HD with 165hz refresh rate and it supports FreeSync. The screen is very bright with vivid colors. The speaker sounds ok a little bit low for a laptop that supports Hi-Res audio and Dolby Atmos. This device has few ports, not really that many. It has 2 USBA, 2USBC and 1 HDMI. It also has a headphone jack. I tried some of my favorite games to see how they performed, and I was impressed. MK 11 at the highest video settings it performed like a champ. It was consistent at 59FPS. However, this was the game running at 1080p which is the max the laptop supper even using the HDMI.
Overall is a good budget gaming laptop. If you don’t care about 4k this machine will run 1080p with no issues. With the 16 inch screen you can take your gaming on the go. In the box you get the laptop, power cable and manuals.

A truly all round man trimmer
on April 2, 2023
Posted by: Wishkid
The Conair precision trimmer I have to say is very versatile. It can be used pretty much for anything in rewards with personal grooming. It is nicely built, is wireless and comes with plenty of attachments. The trimmer head attachments are made of plastic and metal. They get attached via a magnet. There’s a total of 4, one for the mustache and beard, another for haircut, one for detailing and the last one for nose and ear trimming. A side of that you also get 11 different types of guiding combs. Some of the combs are adjustable. I really like the charging base with the modern style look. It feels like it decor your bathroom. It also stores the trimmer heads.
Charging the trimer is pretty simple by just placing it in the charging base or connecting it directly with the included micro USB cable. While it charges it does a charging animation which is pretty cool. For cutting hair it actually does a good job and it doesn’t pull hairs. The mustache and bear attachment is not so good. I tried detailing my beard and mustache and it didn’t go well. My hair was long enough for the test, and I found it strange that it barely did anything when it comes to detailing. However, I was impressed with the shaving attachment. It actually did extremely well. I shave my head and this has been the closest shave to a razor I have gotten from an electric shaver. The down side was that it took me longer than usual to finish. Another plus is that it can be used in dry or wet applications.
Overall this is a truly all around grooming trimmer that will cover pretty much most of your grooming needs. It comes with plenty of attachments for various applications. It's small and light which makes it perfect for traveling, but unfortunately it didn't come with a travel case. It also holds the charge for a long time. In the box you get the trimer, 4 cutting attachments, 11 guiding combs, charging base, Micro USB cable with charging brick and manual.

The detector that your back
on March 27, 2023
Posted by: Wishkid
The Escort 360 portable radar detector tool does what it is supposed to do to detect radar signals. The device is capable of detecting multiple radar bands K, KA, and X. It comes with a color screen and a small form factor design. I really like how it attaches to the windshield mount with a magnet. It is easy to mount and remove. This radar has built-in GPS and bluetooth connectivity. It has plenty of extra features but you will need to download the companion (Drive Smarter) app to take advantage of it.
I have been using it for the past few days. I can say it does the job well and is accurate when it detects the right signal. I took it for a 6 hour drive across two States and was getting lots of alerts. Lots of them were false to radars. But when you get the right one it is super accurate. It was so accurate it actually pointed to the right direction with the arrows that lights up on the device. I was also getting alerts from radar planes but when I looked up I didn't see a thing. I can’t confirm or deny it was a false alert when it comes to that. This thing was also able to pick up traffic light radars. It is cool how it will display the icon on the screen when you get certain alerts like planes and traffic lights.
With the app you can access the device settings. The device is able to display your current speed and the speed post it on the road. However, for that feature to work the app needs to be running on your mobile device. Once the application is closed you won’t be able to see the road speed limit anymore, only your current speed. The speaker used for the announcer is not the loudest and it is hard to understand. But once you hear the announcements a few times it becomes easier to figure out what it's saying. The alerts are very loud, you won’t miss that for sure. It’s very clever how you were able to mute the alert by pressing a button that’s on the cigarette lighter adapter. I really liked that. The adapter comes with a USB socket so you can charge your mobile device.
Overall this device does work and it’s accurate despite getting many false alerts. Thanks to the alerts arrow that will light up on the device you can easily figure out which direction the laser is coming from. The color screen will also tell you how far and how strong the signal is. It is light portable and easy to use In the box you get the radar detector, cigarette lights adapter, windshield mount, travel case and some manuals

TrueBrew is an innovative, automatic coffee machine that brews drip coffee from fresh, whole coffee beans —all at the touch of a button. TrueBrew is built to suit all of your coffee needs, for consistent, freshly ground coffee, every time. Simply pour in your favorite beans, make your selection, and press “Brew.” Then, TrueBrew takes care of the rest. De’Longhi’s proprietary Bean Extract Technology automatically grinds, doses and brews to capture the coffee’s full flavor and aroma and then crafts the perfect cup for you. You can personalize to your needs with 6 sizes (3, 8, 12, 16, 20, or 24oz cups) and 5 brew styles (Light, Gold, Bold, Espresso-Style or Over-Ice). The Over-Ice style automatically adjusts the dose and brew to create a refreshingly bold & balanced iced coffee. TrueBrew uses whole beans not plastic pods or filters, creating zero waste. Plus, with a Built-In Clock and Auto-On function, you can schedule your perfect cup of coffee to be ready exactly when you want it. TrueBrew combines our most precise and adaptive brewing technology with true one-touch simplicity, bringing you the purest taste possible, exactly how you like it, and all at the press of a button. TrueBrew transforms your at-home coffee experience.

The DeLonghi True Brew coffee maker is a very nicely built machine. Despite it being mostly made of plastic it does in fact look and feel fancy. It is very simple to use but you have to complete an initial setup in which I recommend reading the manual unless you want to figure it out on your own. This machine works with coffee beans and pre-ground coffee. A sample bag of coffee beans was provided in the box and let me tell you, it was good!. You can brew from 3oz all the way to 24oz. It will fit from the small espresso cup to your 24oz thermal mug. The front panel works with touch control buttons, and they are very responsive and it also displays the time. You can choose how strong you want your coffee from light, gold, bold and the special selection over ice and pre-ground. I prefer strong, so I choose bold. I did try the light option and I could definitely tell the difference. On the side it has a large water reservoir and on the top it has the coffee dispenser.
I really like the thinking they put into this machine. When brewing small cups like espresso, there’s a pullout cup holder mid way above the cup tray. That will avoid drop spills when the coffee is being poured, a very neat idea. Cleaning it is very simple. Just pull out the front panel and clean the two storage inside. One will have the used grinded coffee and the other dirty water. That water dispenser will fill up quickly depending how often you use the equipment. If you encounter a flashing red symbol and your machine won't brew it means you need to empty that water container. Another feature most will like is the ability to autostart. Wake up in the morning and your coffee will be ready for you.
This coffee maker sounds like a dream machine but it is not perfect. Something you will notice once you turn it on and when starting to brew some coffee is that it will make noise. Of course this machine grinds coffee beans so it’s understandable that some type of noise will be expected but it is loud. Also there is not an option for hot water only.
Overall this coffee brewer performs extremely well and it is easy to use. With its fancy look it will definitely stand out in your kitchen. The ability to use coffee beans is and pre-ground coffee is a plus. With all the plenty of size options and coffee brewing selection it’s a fit for everyone. In the box you get the coffee maker, sample bag of coffee beans, maintenance solution kit, scoop and manuals.

Stunning Image in a curve style
on March 8, 2023
Posted by: Wishkid
This Samsung G7 Neo 4K monitor is a very well made monitor and so versatile that it can be used for any other applications besides gaming. The monitor came nicely packed. It is 32 inches but is heavy and a bit bulky around the center. It is very easy to setup and the included stand was simple to attach. Behind the monitor you have two HDMI connections, 1 DPI, 2 USB ports, 1 USB type B and a headphone jack. This monitor is rated at 165hz refresh with 1ms response time. I usually play games on my 120hz TV but after using this monitor I immediately notice the difference. During my COD game play @ 120hz it was definitely much better on this monitor than the TV. The game was super crisp and smooth with no image lag whatsoever. I was really impressed. Despite it being a smaller screen I was actually playing much better.
The color reproductions are very bright and vivid, which makes it also great for media viewing. The monitor supports picture in picture (PIP) so you can view two things at once. Adjusting the height and angles is very easy and smooth. The spiral in the back lights up and front corners. The lights can be adjusted or it can react based on the content displayed on the monitor. This monitor has no speaker but it has a headphone jack. I tried connecting my wireless headset using one of the USB but it didn't work. The wired one did work with no issues.
The menu button is on the bottom of the monitor. The menu itself was very easy to navigate. I just wished those buttons were in different location or they had a little more separation. It will take a bit to get used to. Overall this monitor is great for gaming and the size it's actually perfect. With 165hz and 1ms response time, you'll play shooter games like a champ. Video images are stunning thanks to the support of HDR10 and the great color reproduction. Unfortunately it does not support Dolby Vision. In the box you get the monitor, power cable, stand, USB cable and manuals.

Experience an IP67 rated dust & water-resistant¹ earbud made for your most intense workouts, even in the rain. The TONE Fre Fits ergonomic design keeps them in place and comfortable while you move. You'll be able to get in (and stay in) the zone with LG's Hybrid Active Noise Cancellation technology that uses two mics to keep outside noise out so you can focus on your fitness. Plus, the UVnano+ charging case uses UV-C light to kill 99.9% of bacteria on the eargels of the earbuds while they charge. In just 10 minutes the earbuds are sanitized and have the power to go.² Plus, you can do your thing in comfort with soft, hypoallergenic medical-grade eargels that provide a comfortable fit and help prevent irritation.³
Posted by: Wishkid
The LG Tone Free fit are great earbuds with minimalist design. These earbuds appear to be simple but they pack a ton of features. A cool feature that I never seen before is that when the earbuds are in the case charging, the case reduces bacteria on the speaker mesh of the earbuds. Paring them up to the phone was relatively easy. When you open the case it automatically becomes discoverable. To take advantage of all the features you must download the free LG Tone app.
The application has an interactive owner’s manual that walks you through the proper way of wearing the earbuds, the earbuds control buttons, the different color light meaning on the case and the ambient sound and noise canceling feature. The app also allows you to change the equalizer settings. The available settings are immersive, bass boost, 3D sound stage, natural and treble boost.
The sound quality of these earbuds is good, but I was more impressed with the call quality. It is phenomenal. When you use them to make a call the sound is so clear that the person at the other won't notice that you're using earbuds. They sound like you talking from the actual phone. These buds come with noise canceling as well and it's great. They are also comfortable to wear. Battery life on these earbuds is rated 10hrs plus additional 20hrs with the charging case.
Overall these are impressive earbuds for the price tag. You get good sound, outstanding call quality, noise canceling plus a bunch of other features in a minimal design. LG has done well. In the box you get a USB-A to USB-C charging cable, a USB-C to auxiliary cable, and earbud tips.

The closest to prescription hearing aids
on December 23, 2022
Posted by: Wishkid
Sony's CRE-E10 I have to say it has impressed me. They are nicely built in a minimal design and very discrete. Whoever sees you wearing them will not think they are hearing aids, as they look just like regular earbuds. That's what I like the most. The actual devices are tiny, like they are almost concealed within your ears. Setting them up should be easy if you get them to pair right away. I had little issues paring them to my Pixel 7 pro. You have to download the Sony hearing control app, then follow the directions. Once you get them to pair the app will run a setup and tuning of the hearing aids. What I really like is the actual tuning, it is dedicated to the actual user consisting of several tones frequencies at different volume levels. It is similar to the hearing exam done at the doctors office. Something that I really disliked was that you have to consent to give Sony access to your hearing data for you to be able to use the app. Not only that, it can be shared as your medical record. If you don't consent to it pretty much you won't be able to use the devices with the app.
Once you overcome that hurtle and are done with the initial setup and tuning you will be able to access the device settings. The hearing aids are very light and they fit nice and snug in the ear. They also feel comfortable just like regular earbuds. It comes with the small sleeve already installed. If those sleeves do not fit you well, it comes with three extra ones in the box XS/M and Large. I used the one that came with it as it fit well for me. To turn on the devices all you have to do is pull them out of the charging case and to turn off, just place them back. They sound really good and one of the best part is how some of the natural sounds blend in to make these hearing aids sound more natural. It does feel kind of clogged because you have to plug them in the ear of course and it has some type of noise canceling. Like other hearing aids I tried you can definitely hear your own voice when talking and that is something that I don't like. Besides that they are just great. I can actually hear those high frequencies that I can’t hear without jeopardizing the other sounds. I was able to watch TV with the volume at level 3.
With the app you can adjust the volume, treble/bass and the directions you want to hear. During the setup you can adjust the loudness individually. The directional hearing is actually pretty amazing. If you focus on the front that's exactly where it will focus and you will notice the difference. I do prefer the auto function because the hearing feels more natural and balanced. Each hearing aid lasts about 26 hrs of continuous use according to the manufacturer and 21 if you use it with music streaming. Yes, these hearing aids support music streaming and phone calls via bluetooth. The downside is that it is only supported by the iPhone. Hopefully that gets fixed with a software update to support other operating systems than iOS.
Now a little bit about that charging case. It is very small, which is great. You won’t feel a huge bulge in your pocket. It is Not only small, it also has an internal battery to charge your hearing aids on the go. It charges via USB-C and the cable is included. It supports wireless charging. If you own a phone that supports reverse wireless charging you will not have any problem charging your hearing aids. Manufacturer suggests the case holds two full charges. I don't know exactly how much that is in hours but I assume it is a lot.
Overall these are by far one of the best hearing aids I have tried. Is the closest you can get to prescription hearing aids over the counter in my opinion. They not only sound great but also come with plenty of features that will definitely warrant the high price. In the box you get the hearing aids, charging case, USB-C cable, extra sleeves, cleaning kit and user manuals.

Great product from reliable brand
on December 20, 2022
Posted by: Wishkid
I used this Insinkerator Badger 5 to replace my old garbage disposal which started making a weird noise and then stopped working. The installation was not that difficult at all. I have replaced garbage disposal in the past and the process is pretty much the same. I estimate it took me a little over 20 mins to get it installed. If you have never installed one of these before I recommend watching their Insinkerator installation video on YouTube. The video is very helpful. I have used Insinkerator in the past and they are pretty reliable. They are also the go to brand for garbage disposal as they are reliable and inexpensive depending on the model of course.
In my case, I did not need to replace the old mounting assembly because there was no damage. So yes my old parts work for the new one as my old garbage disposal was the same brand. Most of the work I had to do was re-connecting the drain pipe and the dishwasher drain pipe to the food processor. Once Installed the pipes, I connected the power cable to the outlet and did a test of the food processor. I tested it and it grinds the food with no issues whatsoever. I also ran the water for a few minutes to observe for any leaks again with no issue there. I am satisfied with this product and pleased with how well it performs and how easy it was to install. I know this may not be the same case for everyone but in my case the mounting system saved me a lot of work and time. Overall this product works as intended, is reliable and affordable. It performs very well and is easy to install.

Extreme light and comfortable but..
on December 19, 2022
Posted by: Wishkid
I gotta say that these Lexie B2 hearing aids are very well made. These are powered by bose but when you look at the packaging, content and built quality of the device, they look just like a Bose. Even the charging case and hearing aids have the Bose branding on it. The actual devices are small and conceal themselves very well behind the ears. They are lightweight and feel comfortable when wearing. I suffer from hearing loss but I currently don’t use hearing aids despite the fact that I can't hear certain frequencies. This is the first time I tried such a thing and from a person who never used hearing aids, I can say they felt comfortable.
Setting them up I can relate to be easy. Download the Lexie app and pair the hearing aids. I encountered what may be a glitch with the app. Every time I open it up I end up on a screen where it says “continue from where you left off”. You have the option to sign out, restart or continue. I’m not sure if that’s how the app is supposed to behave but is annoying. Once you pass that then you can actually engage with the device settings. You have the option to adjust the world volume and the treble, base and L/R balance . You can also choose which direction you want to hear whether it is front or everywhere. The front direction actually works well, especially when talking to someone or watching TV. When you enable the everywhere setting you can notice the difference between the two. The app is very simple to use, you can also setup your own custom environment settings. That being said, those settings are pretty much like presets that you can create, but honestly the only thing you can adjust no matter what preset you use is the volume, treble and base.
The sound quality is ok. It sounds like you're in a tunnel per se , that's the closest way I can describe it. It just didn't sound natural, especially when raising the volume at a higher level you can hear yourself. These hearing aids will be good for someone who suffers from moderate to severe hearing loss in my opinion and that's because this allows you to hear all frequencies. For someone like myself who has issues only with high frequencies will not be suitable. For instance, I raised the volume up around 50 and I was able to hear the high pitch I have issues with but then everything else was too loud and became annoying. Another thing to note: I suffer from tinnitus and this device was not able to mask it.
When it comes to battery life the manufacturer suggests the battery will last around 18hrs. I can vouch that you can go through the entire day with no issues. The charging case is just that, it only charges, it does not recharge your device on the go which is a bummer from a device that costs this much. I looked around the user manual and it does not state the case will charge your device unless it is plugged. The case itself is a little bit bulky and uses a USB-C connection for charging and does not support wireless charging. These hearing aids also come with different size tips and a cleaning tool.
Overall this device will work well for the specific group that is targeted which in my opinion is for people who suffer from moderate to severe hearing loss. If you suffer from a specific frequency loss I’ll suggest going to a professional and have them make something specifically just for you. The device has great built quality, it is easy to use, is small and discrete, and is very comfortable. It has a battery life that will get you throughout the day with no problem. You also get 2 years of expert care with your purchase. On another note this device is very expensive for what you are actually getting. In the box you get the hearing aids, charging case, USB-C cable, ear tips, cleaning tool and manuals.
I would recommend this to a friend!

At the time I'm posting this, the Wi-Fi model ships with broken Books and YouTube apps (major advertised features). Motorola support said it's a known issue and an update is coming soon, but if they didn't catch this in testing it makes me worry about what else they missed. Researching online it seems this issue may only affect models Best Buy carries. Android has some great features but for a tablet that on paper is so much more powerful than an iPad I'd expect to be able to scroll down a page without jitters. The screen feels/looks inferior to iPad, in my opinion. Whites colors have a nasty yellow tint.

After spending $200 on a router you would expect a great working device, sadly to say that hasn't been my experience with this device. It is constantly dropping wireless connection and that was the main reason I ditched my old one.
I went through tech support trying to see if they even had a clue as to what could be wrong, but all they would offer was a reset, launch the router in rescue mode, upload latest firmware. This equals to the same poor results. I replied back telling them I have the same issues and they simply say (and I quote) " Your information has been documented and forwarded to the appropriate contacts for further review and improvement. " Meanwhile I'm left with a 200 dollar brick.
I'm going to exchange it for another one hoping I have a defective device.

Sam313, i had the same issue with previous routers, this might help, is you have a wireless home phone 5.GHz make sure they are wireless router friendly, those phone tends to interfere with the signal and dropped your router connection hope this might help it work for me after i replaced the phone.

I was very skeptical about this router even though after much research since Asus was not actually a router builder. I have owned this device for about 3 month and it has prevailed very well after the few hiccups at the beginning. First thing first if you buy this router make sure you update the firmware, that was one of the main issues I had in the begging after setup, some of my connections were dropping and that’s due to faulty firmware, I even though about returning it. After upgrading the firmware it took two of them, and the issue was gone. Second if your familiar with router setup use the advance setup not the wizard, I tried that and it was a pain in *** I could not get connected to the internet no matter what, so I end up resetting the router and do it the old fashion way advance mode, after that no issues. Another thing other has mention this router does get hot you don’t need to touch after setting it up but is something to mention since I experience it when removing some of the hard drive I have connect it to it.
Pros: Range is excellent this was one of the reason I replace my old Linksys E4200. Internet speed and routing are a pro I finally getting HD with no lag streaming two Xbox at the same time. I have over 18 devices connected to this router I it performed like a champ no wonders it cost so much. Cloud service easy to setup and you can access from any were including your phone. The two USB are a PLUS hook up two TB hard drives and your set, no need to store on your device and they are easily accessible. DNLA some people claim is not support it they are wrong, I have use it and it works very well specially if you have android phones and like to stream you can use your router DNLA to do that. Also this router looks bad ** it looks like it was made out of carbon fiber and the Status lights of the front are a plus you can easily know what’s connected and working and what’s not.
The Router Admin setup screen is not the best but not either the worst, there are pros a cons to it, one of the best thing you can see what’s going on in the main page such as clients connected it, USB, cloud, and so on. One thing I personally don’t like is that to setup 2.5 and 5 GHz you have to toggle between the two is not big deal but they could of make it simple to do it in one location. Another thing that is missing is the ability to hide guest SSID if there is an option I have not found it. Also you cannot rename clients connected to it, that’s something I really missed from the Linksys I could rename the client so I could easily identify what was connected to the router. Everything else such as setup a cloud service was very simple. Some more network knowledgeable people can take advantage of the advance power options this router has such as the QoS traffic management and other.
Overall this router does what it is intend to do, it cost a lot but you get what you paid for, and if you do research on this router will still come up as one of the best when it comes to performance. I highly recommended, and I’m very happy with my purchase.

Update 4/16/2013
April 16, 2013
After I left my initial review few days later Router went bad, I honestly don't know what cause it. The router was not connecting to the web even though it was connect it to the modem, when browse internet could not find page after few refresh it work then it goes bad again, it happened wireless and also hardwire I performed some troubleshooting and firm updates but no luck. I would really recommend if you going to spend the money on this router you may want to purchase the warranty service from Best Buy it will save you any hassle in the future since you can take it to the store and get a new one. I received an RMA within 24hrs that wasn't so bad, the worst is that you have to send the router to them and pay for the shipping one way, they well send it back to you after repair and ground service I send it air 3 days service, that's awful service after speeding so much on this router. Any way RMA will take approx. 3 weeks according to them so if this router is your primary you will be out of luck, luckily my modem support WIFI. This comment will not by any means regret my purchase is an electronic device and they can go bad, this just an update since I cannot over write my initial review, I learn my lesson next time if you going to spend a lot of money on high end device pay the extra cash on BB warranty, you may not use it but look my situation now I have to wait 3 weeks to get a replacement, the router went bad approx. 3 month after purchased seen similar to other negative reviewers. But overall the router does what it supposed to do when is working. Knock one Star out for the awful warranty support, so it will be 4/5 stars.

Finally received my router yes it took long time. Let me start by giving this router 5* stars and here is the reason why: Today 5/14/13 I received a new router not a refurbish but a new router in the box with everything. When I hooked it up guess what same issue started again so now in really convince is not the router nor the Modem. I was trouble shooting this thing for almost 5 hours until finally got the solution. If you have Comcast and you have the triple play you may received a modem Arris TG862 which act as a modem and wireless router. That being said, make sure you are using a Ethernet cable Cat5e( included with the Asus router) minimum Cat6 better, that will enable the T1000 connection between your router and the modem but that was not the problem. The whole problem was with the ISP all along the TG862 modem act as a router so when you connect your Asus router to that modem it will start having issues obtaining DHCP address. That's why it was dropping my internet connection because it was dropping the WAN because it could not renew or obtain that DHCP address. How did it notice going into the Asus router Log screen you will see many times WAN connection stopped then try to re-start. How to fix that call Comcast and tell them to turn the routing feature OFF from the modem and turn it into BRIDGE mode. That will let the Asus router to the routing and will fix that connectivity problem hope this help others in the future.

I seen the 4K picture in store and it looked awesome. But when I got the TV home and seen the screen in regular 1080 resolution I regretted it immediately. My friend bought the Samsung 65" 1080P 240hz the same day for $2500 cheaper and his picture and features are a lot better in my mind. I actually think my TV I replaced with this (samsung 58" plasma) had a better picture also. Disappointed!

This is my 6th Sony television and the best yet! This TV is an upgrade from my Sony 60" 1080p set. I love being on the cutting edge of television technology! Easy to set up and more apps than you will ever need. I also pre-ordered the 4k player. Hopefully it comes soon. The picture is astonishing! The 3D is unbelievable. What precise 3D should be. So much better than with absolutely no shadowing. Watching Avatar, the little flying creatures look like they are in your room. So much so, that you are truly tempted to reach out and grab one. I compared this tv with several others and Sony has the best picture, features, etc. Best Buy makes you comment using a minimum of 50 characters. Let me just sum it up with one word "WOW"!

3 out of 5Great features but dark scene performance kills it
By ErickRPG
I purchased a 75" because I wanted to upgrade when my 70" panel failed. The bright scene performance is amazing, even on 1080p blu rays. But because of the IPS edge lit panel when it is a dark scene the bad contrast ratio really shows. Lots of grey and it's very dull and washed out. I had read that this TV was slightly better in all ways than my LG 70LB7100. But to be honest with you, I think the 3D in this set is actually not as good as my old 1080p LG. And I think the blacks were even just a tad bit better on the older TV. When I say 3D it just feels as if the 3D does not pop out as impressively as the old set. There is no crosstalk. I ended up sacrificing screen size and went with the 65" OLED because black level performance on this set is horrid.

They are smaller and more comfortable than regular airpods. these kind of resembles the airpod pro and work in the same manner in which you have to plug them in the ear. it comes with different size foams that you can use to adjust the right size.
