Always been on the look out for wireless earbuds, mainly because I like to listen to music while I ride my motorcycle, so bulky/fancy headsets aren't an option. I had wired Apple earbuds I got with my old phone, but a new iphone won't come with it and I'm tired of having to place phone nearby, but I also don't want to spend $200 on AirPods.
Enter the SkullCandy Indy!
For a fraction of the price, these little guys came with a nice black portable charging case with indicators in the front, to let you know if your case needs to be plugged in.
I've been using the headphones on a daily basis - driving to and from work, walking breaks during lunch, and/or on the weekends walking to the grocery store. It's been about 3 weeks, and I barely finally charged my case this weekend - not having done so since I took it out of the box.
Pros:
Can fit in full face motorcycle helmets
Comfortably fits in ear (3 included sizes, I switched to the smaller one)
Call quality is pretty good, everyone can hear me clearly and I can hear them back
Touch Controls to raise/lower volume and to skip/repeat tracks
Discreet (so people won't target you for theft if you are noticeably not paying attention to your surroundings)
Excellent noise cancellation - I walked by 2 people having a normal conversation and could not hear anything!
Earbuds automatically charge as soon as you put them in the case

Earbuds automatically charge as soon as you put them in the case
Cons:
Potentially too good at noise cancellation! It's very easy to raise the volume, especially if you're adjusting them into your ear. I did not realize how loud my music was until I walked by people and could not hear them.
Also listed as a pro, but potential con - I'm worried about my short uses and auto-charges. I almost would not mind having an option to turn them off without putting them back in the case, to let the battery drain completely vs having them fully charged quickly so many times because of short uses of them.
They can sometimes fall off, even with the appropriate earbud size, So depending on how far my walk is, I will readjust them when I feel them getting a little loose.
Not ideal for running, but that might be unique to the size of my own ears.

Finally: they also fit inside of over the ear headsets. Why would you want to do that? Well, for me, I like to listen to my music with the Indy, while I have another over the ear headset for gaming purposes, and the person on the other end doesn't hear my music, as it's in my ear and not being picked up by the outer headset's mic.

Work or play on the go with this Dell G5 15 notebook. The 15.6-inch FHD display delivers a clear crisp picture, while the NVIDIA GTX 1660 Ti graphics card supports most modern games. This Dell G5 15 notebook has a 256GB SSD and 1TB hard drive for ample storage and quick file access, and the Intel Core i7 processor and 16GB of RAM offer quick multitasking.

Have not had a gaming machine in a long time, and thought the G5 would handle my dormant Oculus Rift.
I was right, and wrong.
The machine packs decent hardware and graphic benchmark tests for it aren't all bad (though it did fail on one of the PassMark tests). Is it powerful? Yes.
Can it handle the Oculus Rift? Yes, but it's too bad Oculus Rift is not a great product.
As long as it is plugged in, the full power of the laptop is unleashed and games run pretty smooth (even when you set the graphics in game to the highest quality). I quickly found out that if I don't have the power plugged in, any games (especially VR games) will not run smoothly on battery.
It took 30 minutes of normal laptop usage for the battery to get super hot. It only takes a few minutes of playing a game before the very loud fans also kick it to cool down the laptop. This brings the next helpful hint: HEADPHONES. WEAR HEADPHONES. Without the headphones blocking the noise from the fans, you will become worried as it sounds like your laptop is now a jet engine about to take off.
The keyboard and keys look and feel nice, I like that they are also illuminated so I can easily see them in the dark.
USB Ports: There are only 3, and Oculus takes 2 of them, and 1 for the Xbox controller, leaving you without a port for the mouse. So again, not the best for a VR setup.
Is it the best gaming machine out there? No, but it does the job, as long as you get some sort of cooling fan to sit the laptop on and wear over the ear headset to drown out all that noise while playing a game, though I imagine most people wear them anyways to get the sounds right. The built in speakers aren't bad either, it was working well for the beginning of a game, but as soon as those fans kicked in, it overpowers the gaming experience as drowns out the game sounds/music.

Clean wood floors thoroughly with this Dyson V7 Fluffy cordless vacuum. The fluffy cleanerhead has extra-soft bristles that prevent scratches, and the Dyson V7 Fluffy gives you up to 30 minutes of runtime (varies based on attachment/power mode). Includes bonus mini motorized tool for extra cleaning power on hard-to-reach areas. Cord-free, hassle-free, powerful suction.
Posted by: MrPHD
from Los Angeles, CA
...pretty much everything in its path! I chose my first Dyson product to be the V7 after being annoyed and frustrated by using a Swiffer + Vac product for my kitchen. Since my kitchen is small, I thought the Swiffer would suffice, but due to Swiffer’s limited suction and battery life, and of course having to swap out the refills often. I spent more time cleaning manually after using it as it didn’t pick everything up. All that went away, and not only can I sweep easily, but this is a real vacuum comes with multiple attachments, which I can finally get behind my entertainment center, ceiling corners, and window sills. Is it heavier than the Swiffer? Sure, because it is a real vacuum, and being a Dyson, of course it has a very simple and useful way to empty out the bin without dirtying your hands/clothes. Simply lift the red tab and the bottom opens up and dumps everything neatly into your trash!
Does this sound as if I am overly excited about a vacuum? Yes, because I have been inconveniencing myself for a few years by not getting a Dyson, and that problem has finally been resolved!
Pros:
Great suction
Easy to handle/operate
Easy to empty bin
Lightweight (in the down position, not above head)
Multiple attachments that easy snap on and off
Wall mount included

Cons:
Can be tiring if you're spending a lot of time cleaning with it above you
Wall mount only allows for two additional attachments to be mounted.
Pricey, but if you get something cheaper, like a Swiffer, you're working MORE with it, so the prices offsets the additional labor

Secure yourself, a loved one or valuables with this smart, versatile Samsung SmartThings tracker. Its geo-fencing feature triggers smart home automations or alerts you when a pet or person who has it leaves or enters your designated zone. Double-press the button of this IP68-rated Samsung SmartThings tracker to notify authorized persons of your current location.

I purchased a new motorcycle and decided to put this inside the bike and setup zones to alert me whenever the bike left work or home. It has a 10 minute "live tracking" feature that will show you live tracking info, but at great expense to the battery.
Biggest issue of the device? The battery, since I have it set to update every 30 minutes, I have to charge the battery every few days. That's not "terrible" - but it is a bit of an annoyance as I'm sort of using it as a LoJack, that I have to both hide it and also recharge every few days and hope no one catches onto what I'm doing. With that said, the size of the device and all the tech inside is impressive, but the mini-battery makes keeping it charged all the time a bit of a challenge.
I will still use it to track my bike, I wish I could get more battery life out of it, but since it has to do with the limited space of the device - I'll accept it and use it, until a better solution comes along!

Weighing in at less than a pound, the incredibly slim Galaxy Tab S5e is perfect for your on-the-go life. Watch your favorite shows and movies come to life on a corner-to-corner 10.5" Super AMOLED display. Plus, control lights, door locks, the thermostat and other connected home devices right from your tablet with SmartThings. It’s everything you need, all on a thin and light Tab S5e you’ll never want to put down.
Posted by: MrPHD
from Los Angeles, CA
I received my tablet the day I came home from the hospital, in which I was bedridden for a couple of weeks. Not being able to work or lift anything heavy, the extremely thin and lightweight Galaxy Tab S5e sat very comfortably on my stomach as I watched movies / shows on all the apps (Hulu, Prime, HBOGo, Netflix, CW, TBS) while using the included stereo to USB-c adapter and noise cancelling headsets, I was getting a mini-movie experience in the dark.
I had originally planned to just use it to connect to my Samsung TV, as the built in apps on the TV do not work well and have limited capabilities. Now that I am able to move around, I am streaming it to big TV and stream Pandora onto blue tooth speakers I have around the house.

Pros:
Extremely lightweight
Quick boot up and shutdown
Good battery life
Works well with older Samsung TV for streaming
SmartThings app works well with this for your other Samsung SmartThings products (vs IOS app)

Cons:
TOO lightweight? I almost dropped it once and realized a small drop will probably destroy it, so you'll need a good case
Samsung Galaxy is Android so navigating around isn't as easy or intuitive like Apple iOS
Front/Back Camera - I would prefer a version without cameras/mics, positive for most, con for me
Privacy concerns: You have to accept quite a few pages of Terms & Conditions & Privacy policies, which are so long that it is kind of frightening how powerful this little guy is and how much information you give up about yourself and life to it/Samsung. I'm sure most people just accept and not think about it, but I do, hence the desire for a camera-less and microphone-less version.

Overall, I was expecting to use this simply as a companion to my Samsung TV, but I find myself using it for everyday browsing/music streaming - everything I used to do on my IPhone, because of the large screen and comfortability of holding it, being so lightweight. This device saved me from being miserable for 2 weeks, and brought plenty of entertainment during my recovery.

Clean your carpet, hardwood and tile floors remotely with this self-navigating Neato Botvac D4 robotic vacuum. Customize its path through an app on your phone so it avoids certain areas while it expertly cleans others. This Neato Botvac D4 robotic vacuum operates for up to 75 minutes on a single charge.
Posted by: MrPHD

The Neato Botvac DV (which I affectionately call my RoboVac 2000) is a pretty decent little semi-self aware vacuum cleaner. It will unfortunately not clean any corners/edges, but everything else in its path comes out clean. It is also for sure not ideal for people, who like me, are continually adding items around either permanently or temporarily. The No-Go lines you can add are a great, after realizing it can go into my bathroom, but cannot come OUT of the bathroom, I used the No-Go line to skip it all together.
Setup: the initial pairing of the D4 with your wifi via the app took a couple of tries, it timed out here and there and was a slightly frustrating, but once it got going, it was fun to watch to little guy explore. As I previously mentioned, it was able to get over a little lump separating the living room with the bathroom to go into the bathroom, but got stuck trying to come out. I had to help lift it over so it could continue exploring. It also got stuck under my couch, just at a very small spot because of the top of the D4, so another No-Go line area.
Relocation: My biggest issue was the relocation of the base, I had some drastic changes inside that required the base to be relocated . Deleting the existing floor plan and starting a new one did not work – as it still assumed the base was where it was first setup. I had to delete the D4 and start over as if it was a new machine.

Overall, I love it, it zips around sweeping my hardwood floors and that is really all I wanted. It would be great if it was able to fit under the couch, but the top sensor extends the height.

Remove unwanted body hair quickly and efficiently with this Philips Norelco Bodygroom 7000. One end has a contoured four-directional shaver to safely and comfortably remove body hair, while the other end has a trimmer with five adjustable lengths for trimming the hair you want to keep. This Philips Norelco Bodygroom 7000 is showerproof, so you can shave wet or dry.

This is a bit of an accidental purchase. I was looking for a portable shaver and did not realize this was so much more than that. I've gone through many wired shavers over the years and decided finally get a shower-friendly portable. The dual sides allows you for either really close shaves or trimming, and the trimming side feels extremely safe compared to my previous ones. This might seem like a weird gift to get, but I assure you the person receiving this as a Christmas gift will most likely love it!

Feel the beat with this LG PK3 portable Bluetooth speaker. It provides dynamic sound and rich bass thanks to its Meridian Audio technology, so you can bring the party with you. The IPX-7 water resistance lets you go anywhere, rain or shine. This LG PK3 portable Bluetooth speaker keeps the music going for up to 12 hours per charge.

I've had plenty of Bluetooth portable speakers as I go through them a lot, and they're relatively inexpensive, looking for that one I really liked.
The search has ended - not only does it have great sound quality, but the battery lasts for a really long time. I play music off this in the afternoons for a couple of hours, then I play music *all night* while I sleep, and it is still on/playing when I wake up.
I haven't taken it outside near a pool or in the water, but this is great for small indoor rooms.

Control the battlefield with the exceptionally engineered RIG 500 PRO HS headset, designed for PlayStation . With its lightweight exoskeleton, precisely-tuned acoustic chambers, powerful 50 mm drivers and the first-ever RIG game audio dial delivering intuitive volume control.
Posted by: MrPHD
from Los Angeles, CA
I've had a few headsets for my PS4, but this one is my favorite now. It looked a little awkward having essentially 2 tops (a soft one and a hard one), but upon trying it on, the soft bendable one that actually sits on your head allows you to wear the headset for long periods of time without hurting the top of your head.
The other great part of this headset is the auto-mute when you swing the mic in an upward position, which I find myself doing often when I want to eat whatever snack I have!
And finally having the volume control on the base of the cable at the PS4 controller is pretty handy and quite to turn up and turn down.

Boost computer performance with this Samsung EVO series solid-state drive. Its maximum read and write speeds of 550MB/s and 520MB/s let you speed through data transfers, and the 250GB of storage space leaves room for plenty of files. This Samsung EVO series solid-state drive is compatible with a number of SATA configurations for flexible use.
Would this work with my ASUS G75J1 laptop?
Yes, but if you have the Hybrid drive that is an option with that line of Laptops, you might want to reconsider.
Hybrids will give you more hard drive capacity but also give you that boot on startup. This SSD will give you all around speed, but then you only have 250GB vs 1TB hybrid.

Do you mean how do you play a movie through the soundbar or how do you use the soundbar (to say play music) while the BR is showing something else?
If it's a movie through the soundbar - you plug in the BR player into the soundbar, and the soundbar into the TV.
If you want to watch something while listening to something else on the soundbar, you just change the input on the soundbar.

Fitbit Charge HR Wireless Heart Rate + Activity Wristband: This heart rate and activity tracking wristband is built to capture your movements and health patterns all day long. Easily monitor your heart rate so you can maximize your workouts, learn about your sleep quality and monitor progress on your goals.
I'm having a hard time deciding which size band I should get. Should band fit snug or loose?
I don't know whether it should fit snug or loose in order for the heart rate to be accurate. I can't find one in any store to try on so I don't know which size to order
Google "Fitbit Sizing Tool' and the first result is a PDF you can print out and match your wrist on to see what size it is.
The Fitbit should be sort of snug - but your wrist expands and contracts throughout the day, so you have to adjust your bad accordingly - otherwise it will cause skin irritations! It took me a while to realize it was because I had it too snug and didn't realize it was getting tighter when my wrist expanded.

This LifeProof dock adapter features a 30-pin, male-to-female dock connector, so you can easily connect your Apple® iPhone® 4 or 4S in a LifeProof case to most cables or docks. The compact design allows easy portability.
does it just charge it
I want to know if you have to hook it to an iHome or Apple Dock. can you just stick it in? Does it need an outlet? does it work in the car?????
This is simply an adapter specifically designed for LifeProof cases. It does not charge, it simply fits into the connection case - allowing you to connect cables/docks that wouldn't normally fit with the LifeProof case on.

Upgrade Internal Hard Drive
I have a hp zd8000 laptop running windows xp. I am looking to upgrade to windows 7 but will need to upgrade my internal hard drive space. My laptop currently has a Seagate 4200rpm 60GB ATA 8MB 2.5" internal hard drive. Can this hard drive be upgraded? And if so, how big can I go?
Thank you!
Thank you!
You need to go to HP's website and see what it supports. A quick google search shows websites selling 160GB drives for this particular computer.
However, it's a non-SATA drive(really slow), by the time you factor in the costs of the hard drive (which are not cheap as you have to get older one) and the cost of windows 7, you would probably spend as much upgrading this laptop for the same price of a new laptop, with Windows 7/8 included. Not to mention, Windows 7 will be really slow on this, if it is even possible to take Windows 7 (drivers).
