Good Sound Quality, But There Are Trade-offs
on December 2, 2016
Posted by: ryanmcv
After using these headphones during a few workout sessions, I've come to really enjoy their audio quality and durability. Here's my take:
PROS:
- Good (not great) sound quality. The packaging states that these have "extra bass," but I don't think the bass is any more powerful than my Bose SoundSport headphones. For a workout, the sound quality is just fine.
- They seem very durable. They are water resistant, so you don't need to worry about sweating or splashing water on them.
- Quick charging: A 15-minute charge should get you more than 1 hour of listening time.
- Good battery life: On a full charge, I easily exceed 7 hours of listening time.
- Good Bluetooth range: I don't lose connection to my iPhone until I'm about 30 feet away.

CONS:
- Awkward placement of control buttons. The pause and back/forward buttons are awkwardly placed behind the right earpiece, making the buttons rather difficult to locate and press. You sort of have to fold your ear down just to get to the buttons.
- Wrap-around-ear design can become uncomfortable after prolonged periods of use.
- Noise is transmitted through cable movement. If the cable rubs against your skin while running or working out, you'll probably hear the noise in the earpieces.

OVERALL:
If your looking for a nicely-priced pair of headphones for working out, give these a look. They might not produce studio-quality audio, but they will get you through your workout routine easily. Just be aware of the few compromises in comfort and usability.

Excellent Choice for Easy Photo Editing
on November 21, 2016
Posted by: ryanmcv
If you've ever looked at Photoshop and thought that it was too complicated for your simple photo editing needs, then Photoshop Elements might fit the bill. Even seasoned photographers will find some great features in this affordable and easy-to-use software. Here's my take:
PROS:
- Simple, guided interface. A toolbar at the top pf the window offers nearly 45 "Guided Edits" with step-by-step instructions, allowing you to edit facial features, create a collage, add motion blur and paintbrush effects, and so much more.
- Turn a frown upside down. The facial editing features in Photoshop Elements are second to none. You can turn frowns into smiles, open squinting eyes and make other quick tweaks to portraits with the help of simple sliders. Edits are applied in real-time. There's also a quick 'revert' button to correct any mistakes. As with most tools in Elements, it's easy and quick to use.
- Easy photo organization. The "Organizer" tool lets you search and filter all of your photos by people, place, keyword tags, date, and more. You can even combine search criteria to narrow the results. Perhaps most impressively, there is a "Smart Tags" feature which automatically identifies what is in your photos: faces, landscapes, animals, trees, etc. It's frighteningly accurate.
- Tons of advanced editing features and settings. For being a cheaper version of Photoshop, Adobe sure doesn't skimp on advanced features. There are simply too many settings and tools to list in this review.

CONS:
- Slow to import photos. Using the Organizer tool, it took Elements over an hour to import all of my photos (close to 2,000). I understand that it has to scan each photo for facial recognition, location data, etc., but it seems strange that Facebook and other online applications can do this instantly.
- No automatic album creation. The Organizer tool will combine photos by place, date, people, and more, but it doesn't actually create albums automatically. It would be nice if it logically grouped photos from the same date and location into one album.

OVERALL:
Overall, this is a top-notch entry-level photo editor. It's incredibly easy to import, organize, and edit photos. It's feature set, especially with the guided instructions, is unmatched. At this price point, it's an easy recommendation.
