Great All Around Headphones
on July 18, 2017
Posted by: masc360
The JBL Everest 710 Headphones are fantastic some of the best headphones I have ever used.
Im not a big bluetooth headphone user most of the time but these headphones have great button placement they are so intuitive and easy to find. I am never second guessing myself on what button Im pressing or doing something I did not intend to.
I first started out using them with the included cable but as I used the bluetooth more and the ease of it to use I have used the headphones more often with bluetooth.
Another Bluetooth feature I enjoyed was the share me. My blu ray player can send audio out bluetooth so you can listen to movies on your headphones. turned on the share me feature connected an older pair of bluetooth headphones my wife had and viola we were both watching a movie with our headphones on.
The sound quality is really good also, most people will want to know if the headphones have good bass. I think they do have very good bass, now saying that I do not think that these are extremely bass heavy headphones the sound is very balanced.
Overall I really enjoy these headphones, they are honestly some of the best I have used and they do not cost you an arm and a leg.

Good Router With Bad Software
on June 28, 2017
Posted by: masc360
The Samsung Connect Home Pro is a router with great potential, the fact that it has a smart hub built which gives it home automation abilities put this router above all the others.
There is just one issue and that is the "Samsung Connect" app. You are required to use this app to set up the router, and normally this is not a problem but the app is so bad and buggy it took me no less than 45 minutes to get the app to work so I could log in to set up my router.
I have not had any issues once I was able to get the router all set but it was such a pain dealing with the app that I almost wanted to stop using the router.
Everything else with the router is great from the size and look to the performance, It is honestly surprising the range this very small device gives you. My internet has been a bit more consistent and stable since switching over to the new router.
The router is great but it is hard to recommend to someone when the set up software in this case Samsung's app is so buggy. I was able to log in to my Samsung account but when I would try to give permission for the app to use my account the app would not accept. I reset my phone several times, deleted and re installed the app several times. I tried the app on multiple phones and kept getting the same issue. then finally after restarting my phone for the 3rd time it finally took the permission and everything after that was incredibly easy.
I consider myself some one that is pretty familiar with tech and setting up routers, so If someone like me is having issues getting this app set up how is someone that does not have any experience going to feel.
Until Samsung can fix their app I would pass on this Router.

Excellent Home Theater Projector For 4K Content
on June 19, 2017
Posted by: masc360
"I might not ever want to go to the movies again." was what my wife told me after we finished watching a movie with this projector.
I have a pretty decent 4K tv with HDR that honestly looks pretty darn good, but nothing beats watching a movie on a big screen, I have a protable screen I can set up in my living room to use a projector on. fully extended it is about 100 inches.
Setup was incredibly simple and the instructions it came with are great. took me about 15 minutes to set up get into focus and start watching movies.
I put in a couple of 4K movies and was wowed by what I saw the colors and details were magnificent. black levels were very good and the bright highlights also looked great. I am very happy with the picture quality.
If you are looking for an excellent projector to watch movies at home but dont want to spend 5 or 6k for a higher end model, this Epson projector will work great.
Highly recommended!!

Good Soundbar That could be better
on June 3, 2017
Posted by: masc360
I think soundbars are great solutions when you dont want to nor cant have a full home theater system. My only issue which seems to be inherent on most soundbars is dialogue when watching movies. This sony soundbar does a pretty good job with dialogue but it can still be difficult to hear and I have to constantly fiddle with the volume.
I thought the soundbar worked and sounded great with music and was surprise how punchy the small subwoofer was.
overall i thought The soundbar was good but I would still recommend someone buy a full 5.1 system over a soundbar if they can.

Good Headphones For Kids
on May 31, 2017
Posted by: masc360
We recently took a trip out of town so it was the perfect time for my 6 year old son to use these headphones.
He loved them, I tried them on and they sound pretty good for how small they are. He thought they were very comfortable and really liked the fact that he could choose what sticker to put on the side of the headphones.
my only gripe with the headphones is they feel really flimsy. For being a product made to be used and abused by kids they do not feel like they will withstand much. so far so good and would recommend to anyone looking for a pair for their kids.

Magnificent Headphones!
on May 31, 2017
Posted by: masc360
I cannot say enough good things about these headphones, from the moment I opened the box to the moment I started to listen to music I was grinning from ear to ear.
The sound quality on these headphones is awesome I know it sounds cliche but I was able to hear things on certain tracks I had never heard before with my old pair of headphones.
The build quality on them is very good, even though it is mainly made of plastic the headphones feel of high quality and very sturdy. my one and only gripe is that I do not like the play/pause touch button, it is a bit difficult to find and press and I would often time end up double tapping it and stopping and starting a song when I just wanted to stop it.
The sound quality is excellent a very clear clean sound, These are not bass heavy headphones, they have a good amount of bass that is not over done. If you are a person that likes a lot of bass these are not for you.
If you want a great sounding, great feeling quality pair of bluetooth heaphones then these are the ones for you.

Very Good Hair Trimmer
on May 5, 2017
Posted by: masc360
Overall I really like the trimmer, it works really well has a nice design, and is light and very easy to use. I really enjoy the fact that it has the adjustment dial instead of having different size clips you would have to put on. But i wish it had at least a smaller blade size you could trade out. certain times I just need a smaller sized blade that isn't as wide.
But besides that everything else works great, it has a great feel the materials they use make it easy to hold and i really like the fact you can just hold it rinse it off to clean off any excessive hair.
overall I would recommend this to someone looking for a hair trimmer

Great Headset!
on March 31, 2017
Posted by: masc360
I have used many gaming headset over time and can never quite find one that works well for everything I need.
I mainly play games on consoles but do occasionally use my PC. I also occasionally use headphone while watching movies and listening to music.
I had used a pair of the Kraken Pro before this newest revision, and did not like them, the headset wasnt very comfortable and the sound was too muddy and bass heavy. So I was pleasantly surprised when I opened the box and saw the new design.
Immediately I could feel the difference in comfort level.
I was still a bit worried that the sound would be the same and too bassy with the mids and high being very muddy.
So I was pleasantly surprised when I started listening to some music and it sounded much clearer than the previous ones.
I will say they still are a bit bass heavy and the mids and highs are not as clear as I would like them to be, but they are a huge improvement over what I had heard on the previous version of these headphones.
If your looking for a good pair of headphones that wont break the bank in terms of cost I would check these out.

Better Than Expected
on March 20, 2017
Posted by: masc360
I am always one of those people that when you hear everyone talking about how good something is I think there has to be some flaw or it cant be that good.
I can easily say I was wrong about the quality and performance from this Dyson.
it easily has more power and better suction than any other vacuum I have ever owned.
while is does have some quirks. I can easily say that this is the best vacuum i have ever had. Its surprising how much this vacuum picks up of my ground even when I vacuum everyday.
I highly recommend anyone looking for a vacuum to seriously give Dyson a shot.

Good but Not Great Wi-Fi Network
on January 18, 2017
Posted by: masc360
To say i was excited to set up the Linksys Velop system would be a bit of an understatment. I have a two story Townhouse and The internet upstairs can be a bit shoddy, using an extender doesnt do much help as the best area to plug it in are areas that I dont have plugs.
So needless to say mesh networks seemed to be the best way for me.
Set Up-
Setting up the routers and getting them online is a very easy process using the app on my smartphone. The only problem was as i was setting up the node that would connect to my modem, I received a phone and a text while the app was running and the app hardlocked on me.
Once i restarted the app I noticed my network was setup and working, I was getting the internet on my phone. problem was if i tried to add another node it would fail constantly. So I had to completely reset the original node (which is a bit too easy and makes me worry of someone accidently resetting it all back)
after that I re ran the app to set up the network. this time no crashes and was able to add all of the other nodes.
Now to actual network performance, so far I have seen some good and bad. yes my network range has increased tremendously, but in my downstairs area where everything was much closer to my old router I have seen a bit of dip in performance. When i first start up streams it takes a little bit of time to get stable and move up to HD. once it starts I do not have any issues, but I never had issues like this with my old router.
Now upstairs I am definitely getting better service. the speeds and connection up there are much better than they were before.
I only have one device that I use upstairs often that we need the internet, and my router took a bit longer upstairs but still got the job done.
The fact that my speed seem to be a bit slower downstairs where most of my stuff is kinda bugs me. not to mention each node only has to ethernet ports. makes it difficult to hardwire anything without buying a switch.
Depending on your situation and how your internet is being used you might not see a big difference switching to routers like these, but if your someone that has a pretty big space and needs the internet to reach as much of it as possible this would be a good buy.

How many speakers will it support?

I'm new to the world of AV receivers...

How many speakers will this support? I've got four(4) inside the house for surround sound, and two(2) on the porch. Will it support all six, in two zones?

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