Excellent Air Purifier
on November 25, 2018
Posted by: masc360
from Hollister, CA
I have used several different air purifiers over the years, and most of the time the Purifier only really works well a couple of times at first and slowly stop working as well. I have to say I am surprised with this Bissell purifier that it's working just as well when I first used it.
It's very easy to use and the controls are very simple. My only complaint is the size is pretty big so it's not something that is very small.
There is not much to say besides that it work very well as intended and if your looking for a purifier this is the one I would recommend.

A Solid Laptop In A Tablet World
on November 15, 2018
Posted by: masc360
from Hollister, CA
I kind of do not get two in one laptops, they want to be a tablet sort of device and a laptop, but they never seem to be good at both.
I feel that way about this Hp laptop as a straight laptop it works great, I love the spacing on the keyboard, I love that it is back lit and you can change the brightness on the back lit and the screen is very good looking. The device is also very thin and portable, when you go into tablet mode I am a bit more meh on the product.

It is not detachable you have to flip the screen entirely around so you do have the keyboard on the other side so it is not quite as nice to use as a regular tablet. and because this is built as a pc first and foremost the UI is not as well made in my opinion to function as a tablet as the other tablet makers have on their tablets.
I think if you are in need of a laptop and you want something small and compact that works well then this will probably work for you.
If you are looking for something that is compact to watch videos play some games and occasionally type on they you will probably be better off with a tablet and buying a keyboard for it.
Overall I think this is a very solid and good looking Laptop.

A Good TV That Falls Short For 4K HDR
on October 19, 2018
Posted by: masc360
from Hollister, CA
Recommending a TV that is not one of the high end ones can be a difficult thing. Depending on what type of TV you own makes a big difference in how you will feel about your new TV, so with that being said lets talk about what is good about the tv.
Lets start of with the colors, the tv has good colors it does support WCG so if you are watching something in HDR you do see the benefit of the added colors. It also has relatively good black levels for an LED ( do not compare it to an OLED because there is no comparison for the black levels on an OLED). The tv does have local dimming but to be honest I could not really see the difference when I had it activated even at the highest setting. The tv has relatively good brightness for standard content.
It however cannot get that bright when watching HDR content and that really minimizes the HDR effect, and it makes it hard to watch HDR content during the day.

I did enjoy using the tv to play games, It does look pretty good and have very low input lag.
Android TV is the operating system the TV uses and while it is much better to use than before I still personally dislike it a lot. Every TV I have every used with Android TV always feels incredible slow and just a chore to use. Thankfully they have much improved it and it does not feel as slow. Streaming worked well the picture quality looked good while streaming.
If you do not have the means to get a high end TV but still want to jump into 4K this tv is pretty solid. you get a lot of features including Android TV so you can stream tv shows and movies directly from the TV. overall it is a pretty solid TV I would say much better than most TV's in this range.

Good But Not Great Smartwatch
on October 18, 2018
Posted by: masc360
from Hollister, CA
Let me start of and say this Fossil smartwatch is in my honest opinion one of the better looking smartwatches on the market. I think you will be hard to find a watch that looks better than this one.
I also think the watch runs great I do not have any issues in how it runs, there is a bit of delay when you press on the screen and it takes a second to receive the input but nothing that is too bothersome. connecting to my phone was incredibly easy and porting over all the information was a breeze.
now a couple of issues that I feel keep this from being a great watch.
The first is battery life, its ok I spend a good deal of the day gone and do not get home until the evening. With the face being on all the time I went from 100 percent to 50 in about 4 hours so I would probably get about 8 hours total.

So in my typical day the watch would be dead long before I get home. I adjusted and turned off the screen beings always on and to just turn on when I twisted my wrist. while this helped with battery life it was a bit frustrating as it would not always read when I would twist my wrist and I would manually have to press the button on the watch to turn it on.
The other thing is obviously having it connected to my phone causes my phone battery to drain much faster.
Besides the battery issue the only other I would run into is occasionally it would not receive text messages on the watch. they would work and notify and then randomly stop. I would have to disconnect the phone from the watch and reconnect it to get it working again.
Luckily this issue came up only once or twice so it did not bother me too much, but it did worry me that it could start to happen often.
I think the watch is very good, it has a very solid look and for the most works great, if you can deal with the battery life and occasional bugs with notifications I think you will be very happy with the watch.

Great Vacuum
on October 8, 2018
Posted by: masc360
from Hollister, CA
I love shark vacuums I think they work better than the big name brands that cost 3 times the amount.
This vacuum works so well, I love the fact that it is easy to move around and get to hard places with it and it is so easy to detach and use with the tools.
It is also very easy to clean parts snap right off with the press of a button. overall this vacuum is very customer friendly but also works very well.

Possibly Best Noise Canceling Headphones Ever!
on September 11, 2018
Posted by: masc360
from Hollister, CA
I love these new Sony noise canceling headphones. they are possibly the best pair of headphones I have ever heard in general but they have made me appreciate noise canceling headphones even more.
Let me start with this prior to owning these headphones I did not like noise canceling headphones. I seem to be pretty sensitive to the feature and often times it would give me a headache and feel too much pressure when using them.
These Sony headphones listen to your ambient sound and adjust the amount of noise canceling, and I could tell when I was in a louder environment the noise canceling feature would turn up and when I was some where quieter it would go down. this made it much more comfortable for me to use.
The headphones are incredibly lightweight and extremely comfortable to use, yet the sound quality and clarity is outstanding, music was extremely well balanced with more than enough bass, but never too much that it affected the mids and highs.
I love these headphones and having such a long battery life on them makes them great travel headphones. you can easily use this on a cross country trip and not have to charge them at all.
While I am not a huge fan of the touch controls and I would rather have physical buttons, I will admit they work very well and are very easy to use, and I love being able to cover your right ear and the headphones muting the sound and start pumping in sound from the outside so you can hear what is going on.
Overall there is nothing much more I can say besides I highly recommend these headphones.

Very Solid Bluetooth Speaker
on September 10, 2018
Posted by: masc360
from Hollister, CA
I have listened to many bluetooth speakers and several brands, and all of them always seem to be missing something some are too bass heavy some are too high pitched. This LG bluetooth speaker is the closest one to being to most balanced but still has a couple of flaws.
Let me start with the good the speaker sounds great and even at a pretty high volume it still sounds good. I will say it is a bit light on the bass side compared to some other speakers, and I do not like how it sounds without using the enhanced bass and clear vocal. At higher volumes it tends to be a bit light on the lower frequencies and you lose out on some out that sound detail but overall for the size it sounds pretty good.
I like the handle design of the speaker make it very easy to carry. The lights that the speaker has are nice but they do not do a good job following the music and often times I would just turn them off.
Battery life is pretty solid, I have been using it my office at work and even though it says it last about 18 hours I have been able to get about 23 on a charge using it at moderate to low volume.
Overall I think the speaker is very good and would recommend to someone who is looking to buy a speaker. One note the app to control the speaker is terrible because even though your phone is connected to the speaker through bluetooth if you close the app it disconnects you from the speaker and you have to reopen the app and keep it running on your phone. only way around this is not to use app and use manual controls on the speaker to control everything.

Great Sounding Headphones
on August 17, 2018
Posted by: masc360
from Hollister, CA
I love Dolby Atmos for movies, So i was very curious about Atmos for headphones and if it would make a big difference, but before I get there let me start at the beginning with these headphones.
The headphones have a very nice design and are very comfortable, even though they do not look like it you can make some size adjustments and they fit wide breadth of head sizes.
They also sound very good, even just listening to music or audio in stereo they sound very good, they are very balanced if you are looking for something with insane bass you wont get it from these. They have a good amount of bass without overpowering the mids and highs.
Now the one thing I really dislike is the 3.5 mm cable it comes with. The connector is just a terrible design, I understand what they were trying to do with having the wheel to control volume and having that volume control is very nice but it very hard to connect to mobile devices or other devices that are not an xbox or ps4. you have to take off the rubber guards that fit and xbox or ps4 controller to connect it to anything besides those controllers.
I feel like it would have been better if the volume control was just along the wire.
I do enjoy the detachable mic and being able to quickly flip it up to mute. Sounds pretty good and is great for voice chat.
Now To the Dolby Atmos portion. I think that Dolby Atmos is the best implementation of surround sound audio for 2 channel speakers but I still have issues with it. I do not like what it does to voices as it tends to add a bit of an echo and hollow sound to voices. It does a pretty good job of making the sound feel like it is around you but it is not even close to how it sounds when you are using a real Dolby Atmos setup. Overall Dolby Atmos is good and helps with the overall sound, but I would not just buy a pair of headphones for Dolby Atmos. It might have been because of the quality of these headphones but I was fine playing in stereo.

Takes Time To Set Up But Worth It
on August 6, 2018
Posted by: masc360
from Hollister, CA
I have used several different camera systems, and this Lorex 4K camera system has been the best one. I have been hesistant on going with this kind of system for a while because of the amount of time it takes to install but also you are kind of stuck with how they are positioned afterwards.
You really have to take your time and plan where you are going to put them, But once you have them set up your done you never have to worry about batteries running out and having to climb a ladder to take a camera down and change the battery. You lose the ease of moving your camera but you get a better picture and less hassle dealing with the camera once it is set.
The default setting is 1080p and you have to go into the menu and set the camera at 4K if you want to use that resolution. The cameras work really well and the picture quality has been very good. I have barely even scratched the surface of all the options in the menu and I am already completely satisfied with my purchase.
Safe yourself the time and get these cameras instead of the ones with the rechargeable batteries.

Best Sounding Bookshelfs
on July 20, 2018
Posted by: masc360
from Hollister, CA
over the course of several years I have heard tons of different bookshelf speakers. I would say that probably most people's home theater systems are built with bookshelf speakers. they give you the flexibility of placement that floorstanding speakers cannot and give you as good or sometimes better quality than some floorstanders.
most of the bookshelfs I have had in the past have typically been 4.5 inch woofer bookshelfs. So usually on the smaller size. So when I received these I was a bit worried they would be too big as these were 5.25 woofers. I was pleasantly surpised at how compact the speakers were and how good they look.
They also sound awesome, and I they sound great as left and right speakers. I use them as surrounds in my system but if someone wanted them for their fronts they would work great for that.
If you are looking for some great bookshelf speakers for a home theater or to listen to music you cant go wrong with these.
