Great security Cameras
on October 7, 2019
Posted by: masc360
from Manteca
I have tried Arlo cameras out when they first came out. I liked them, but they didn't feel like the solution I was looking for.
After spending some time with these Arlo's I realized they have everything that was missing the first time around.
After spending some time with these Arlo's I realized they have everything that was missing the first time around.
The recording quality is great, the night vision works really well. All these spec upgrades are nice but there are small updates that make a big deal for me that I absolutely love.
My issue with the first Arlo's was the area where they would have the batteries located. Everytime you needed to change the battery you would have to completely take the camera down so you could get access to the battery. I love that on these new cameras you can pop the front off and the battery is right there.
The app is also incredibly easy to use and fast it took me about 5 minutes before I was up and running.
I am very happy with these cameras and if you are in the market for some cameras I highly recommend theae.

Very Cool Fun Way To Print Photos
on September 24, 2019
Posted by: masc360
from san jose
My Wife and I like taking a lot of picture of our kids and vacations, the problem is most of our photos are just sitting on hard drives at home. we wanted to find a way to have some of those photos.
Typically the easiest way would be to just go somewhere and print them all out. well my problem is we do not have the space to just have hundred of photos in our house.
We wanted to do something but didn't know what. we looked into getting an instamax camera but we didn't want to have to stop taking photos with our phones and carry around this camera. we finally found the Hp sprocket.We were really intrigued by being able to print these smaller photos to keep these memories and my wife was excited to make some small books with it.

So far we love it, the photos have looked better than we expected they are not photo studio quality but i do think they look very good, and we loved being to edit and make fun pictures using the app.
Speaking of the app its very easy to use and for the most part very intuitive, my wife who is not very tech savvy was able to get it running and printing by herself in less than 10 minutes.
If you are looking for a fun way to print and edit photos I highly recommend.

Amazing Sound With Some Annoying Issues
on August 14, 2019
Posted by: masc360
from san jose
Let me start with the good, The Definitive Technology Studio Advance sound bar looks and sounds amazing. There is no question that this is one of the best sounding soundbars I have heard. I love how much control you have on tuning the sound and being able to bring up the voices of people or characters when watching movies. Soundbars typically have lots of issues with voices, So having one with the ability to clearly hear the voices was great. The subwoofer is incredibly powerful for the size. I think its a bit too boomy and not very detailed but people that love their bass will get plenty of it from the sub.
The sound bar also looks great very simple clean elegant design. It is a very understated design but looks very good.
The sound bar also looks great very simple clean elegant design. It is a very understated design but looks very good.
No on to the issues and their are several.
The first is a preference issue and it bothers me so much and that is the lack of information screen on the sound bar. The only information you get is from light on the front. Each input is assigned a number and that is how many lights will pop on the front of the soundbar when you change the input, change the volume or change any setting like subwoofer or center channel. Seems like it would be simple and easy but it gets rather annoying because you can never tell when the soundbar is on unless you hit a button to get the lights to come on, or know what input it was last left on. its a nice idea that just doesn't work for me.

The next item is much more of a deal breaker and that has to do with the wireless subwoofer, there are many times when it does not sync with sound bar so their is no sound coming from it. I have to turn off the subwoofer and the soundbar turn them back and wait for it to sync and then I can use it like normal. I have owned several soundbars with wireless subwoofer and I never had connection issues like I do with this one.
My other big issue is that the hdmi output is incredibly slow to output your image and often times I would end up with a black screen and would have to turn the soundbar off and then back on to the signal to go through. It got to the point where I just ran everything into my tv and then just ran the optical cable from my tv to the soundbar. The HDMI issues were constant and that keeps me from recommending this soundbar.
I want to love this soundbar, I love how the soundbar looks and how it sounds, but all of the other issues it has are a big deal breaker for me and keep from recommending it. If they can sort some of these issues out then I would recommend it in a heartbeat but until then I would pass.

A case with a good idea that doesnt quite work.
on May 31, 2019
Posted by: masc360
from Manteca, Ca
I know several people that have pop sockets on their phones but my issue has always been when the pop socket is closed there is a giant bump on the back.
I was excited to try out this otterbox case because they designed it with the pop socket in mind and they obviously know about the issue that its not flat when the pop socket is closed.

Ultimately I think otterbox has the right idea, I just wished they executed it better. I have a couple of issues with the design they chose to do, my first issue is that even though they made a spot for the pop socket to fit into, when the pop socket is closed it is still not flat, there is a small amount of it that sticks out, and when I am sitting down and need to put my phone back into my pocket I have had some times where it gets caught on my pants as I try to put into my pocket.
One unintended consequence of indenting the case for the pop socket is now there is less space from the Popsocket to the case, So i can barely get my fingers around to to help me hold the phone better. If they were able to make a little longer Popsocket this would help.

I want to like this case and I like parts of it, I like the idea of it. I think with a couple of fixes this could be a great case for a phone, but right now its just ok.

Good sounding and comfortable eat buds

Posted by: masc360

There is not much to say that is bad about the Skullcandy Indy earbuds. They are very comfortable easy to use and generally sound very good. And in comparison to the pricing of the competition they are a great deal.
I typically have trouble with how earbuds fit in my ears but the indys felt great I was able to use them for several hours without any discomfort.
I generally liked the sound of them also, my only gripes are they are very bass heavy and I have to raise the volume on my iPhone quite high to get a decent volume on them.
If you looking for some quality earbuds for bass heavy music then I highly recommend these.

Great for a car with aux but no bluetooth
on April 24, 2019
Posted by: masc360
from Manteca, Ca
I have an IPhone XS and by far the most annoying thing is that I cannot charge and listen at the same time without buying an adapter, even when I do not need to charge my phone. I still find it very annoying having to plug and unplug my phone to listen to anything in my car.
When I saw this charger and I saw that it had an aux pot I thought this could the perfect device for me.
After using it for a couple of days it works great. My Bluetooth connection is always on shall I have to do is get in my car and my phone automatically connects.
I really enjoy that google assistant connects to Siri so it can control all of the functions of my phone while I’m driving.

My only complaint is the quality of calls coming in through the bolt are pretty bad to downright awful. When I connect my phone through my aux all my calls sound perfect but listening them through the bolt they are just downright bad. Luckily for me I rarely take any calls while driving so it is an issue I can deal with, but someone who needs that a lot will not be happy..
If you need something to charge and connect to your car this works really well.

Great Sounding Headphones With Disappointing Mixer
on March 27, 2019
Posted by: masc360
from Hollister, CA
The Turtle Beach Elite Pro 2 headphones sound great there is no denying that, but the soundmixer to me does not do what I want to justify getting this over just the headphones.
Let me start off with some positives about the soundmixer before I get into the negatives. The ease of use to connect it to the Xbox or pc and get it running is extremely easy. It literally is one cable From headset to mixer and from mixer to Xbox/pc and that’s it in terms of connections. The lights on the mixer are very easy to understand you have a ring around the logo which shows your volume and the turtle beach logo is either green showing your mic is on or red when it is off or muted. So the ease of use on it is very easy to just plug and play.
Now where you want to get into some more of the advanced features that’s where I think the mixer falters. Let me start with biggest thing using the mixer the volume does not get very loud. Does it get loud enough to sound well yes for the most part but it’s max volume is still pretty low, and this is after turtle beach released an update to fix this a bit and it did help but it is still kind of low.
The next issue I have is to control anything more than just straight volume or switch the mixer so it runs on pc you have to use their app on your phone. Now while there is nothing fundamentally wrong with the app I just don’t think it’s very good. It happen trouble connecting my phone to the mixer a couple of times and the UI on it is not great. You get more control of you chat and game mix which I would have rather had physically on the mixer. It was actually kind of pain to have to grab my phone load the app wait for it to connect then adjust the chat mix.

After a while I decided I would try connecting the headphones directly into my Xbox controller and see what kind of audio difference there would be. To my surprise it sounded the same and I realized the surround sound was coming from the Xbox and not from the mixer so it sounded the same and the volume range was actually better off the controller. Now it is a bit of pain to have to jump to a menu on your Xbox to control the audio but it was less items I had to use than my phone and the mixer.
I think the headphones sound great and in theory the mixer should be awesome but I think some curious design make me say skip this package and get just the straight headphones

Excellent Cable That Works As Advertised

There is not much to say when buying a cable that works. This cable is very sturdy and well made. You really get the sense that it is a premium cable, the length is great and even the design of the cable looks good.
And it works exactly how you expect it to.

Solid Shaver with not so great attachments
on January 11, 2019
Posted by: masc360
from Hollister, CA
I have no been using this norelco shaver for a couple of weeks and I love the spin heads on it. the shave it gives me without any discomfort is really good. The syle and design of the shaver is also really well made, It is very easy to use and I am able to use it for several days before having to recharge.
My only con is the attachment trimmer is utter garbage. It cannot cut anything. I honestly do not even use it as it has been useless everytime I tried. I have had to use my old trimmer when I need it because this one has not worked well for me.
The shaver is great and if your looking for a new shaver I recommend it, but if you need a trimmer also I would look elsewhere as the one it comes with does not work well.

Good Laptop With Some Limitations
on December 17, 2018
Posted by: masc360
from Hollister, CA
When I first was reading about this Lenovo Laptop I was really intrigued by the fact that it is essentially using a mobile phone chip, and that all those years of hearing phone manufacturers say our phone is as powerful as a laptop would finally be put to the test.
Well my answer to the question if the phone chips are as powerful as a laptop is....yes and no.
Let me explain, The laptop runs great I never had any issues with it lagging or slowing down, but it does not run the same exact software as a full laptop. It is kind of a hybrid of a laptop and mobile device.

For the most part it works and if you are just looking for something to surf the internet and type of some documents you will be just fine with this laptop. If you are looking for something that is a bit more intensive this might not be the best choice for you.
I think this a sleek well made device that for what it is setting out to do it does well, I just think I was expecting a bit more.

It will support two zones, but you need an exterior amp to power the speakers on the second zone.
