Dyson Clean+Wash Hygiene is the wet and dry hard floor cleaner with no unhygienic filter. No clogging. No bacteria.~ No bad smells emitted.~ Unlike other machines which depend on dirty exhaust filters that accumulate sludge, bad smells, and bacteria, Dyson Clean+Wash Hygiene's hygienic system keeps waste in the cleaner head, so there's no clogging pipes or dirt drawn up through the machine. 84,000 microfiber filaments rapidly absorb every kind of mess, no suction needed. While the self-cleaning mechanism removes dirt and hair with every rotation. The automatic waste separation system keeps dirty water separate from dry debris for easy and hygienic disposal. The Self-Clean cycle flushes the system after every use and the hot hair drying dock prevents bacteria growth and odors. Easily switch between four power modes to tackle anything from hair and debris, to sticky spills and dried-on stains. For best results, add Dyson 02 Probiotic formulation to clean water.

Great for messes, ok for just regular cleaning.
on July 23, 2026
Posted by: Wraith
I LOVE Dyson products and have been a customer since like the second generation of their vacuums. Dyson has always done tech well and with style. This is probably the first product I would give a 3.5-4 stars. I rounded up to 4 mostly because part of the problem was my pre-conceived notions of what I would use this for. The remaining star that I took off is for the post-cleaning 'clean-up' of the Clean+Wash itself, which is a chore. I really don't want to replace one chore with another. I just don't think I'm the intended audience this time, which has almost always just been, broadly, someone who likes to maintain a clean home. The Dyson Clean+Wash is REALLY targeted to people with kids and pets that make regular spills/messes, NOT someone who wants to mop their home. If you are such a person, you will appreciate the Clean+Wash FAR more than I, and the chore of cleaning the device will be a pittance compared to your bigger mess. If you are, like me, looking for a better way to do regular mopping of your home, the Clean+Wash makes it a much different calculus and what it does is not enough for me to justify the post-clean routine.
I'm going to highlight some of really great things about the Dyson Clean+Wash that make it great for a home with kids/dogs/messy adults (not judging), and where it may fall a little short for you if you are looking for a whole-home cleaner like me.
Compact & Stylish: Unlike a mop and a bucket or a big steam vacuum, you won't mind this one sitting in the corner because it doesn't take up much space and even then it looks good doing it.
Uses Regular H2O: Part of what I was hoping to replace from my current set-up it the reliance upon wet cloths that I have to continually buy, or distilled water that I always forget to buy but that my steam cleaner REQUIRES. Also, the pads on my steam cleaning mop do not have the service life I was promised and their cleaning is a pain in and of itself. The Clean+Wash uses regular tap water and the only 'consumable' is the cleaning solution, of which you use like a capful, so a bottle will last quite a while.
Self Cleaning: On one hand this is great. You dump out the dirty bins and replace them. Refill the main tank with water and let her go. While loud, the cleaning roller will be clean and dry when done. BUT... then you have to clean out the dirty containers again yourself. Those get pretty gross, especially the 'dry' container because some fluid does get in there along with hair and it's not nice. For a quick mess, you can probably clean both the mess and the device with a single tank of water and the post-clean up will be relatively easy (depending on what was spilled). If you are trying to mop your kitchen, or heaven forbid, the approximately 2000+ square feet of tile/engineered wood I have in my house, you will be going through lots of refilling/dumping.
Battery Life: Again, if you are doing relatively small spaces or contained spills, the battery life is awesome. If you are doing a home, you will be having to recharge a bit to get everything. It does charge pretty darn fast though.
So, again, if you have a home that needs a device to quickly mop up mixed spills throughout the day, this is a great device. If you are looking for a device to clean all your tile in a whole house clean-up, you will probably be a bit disappointed like I was. Not that it can't do it, but it may not be better than your current set-up.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great Camera To Restart An Old Hobby!
on July 8, 2026
Posted by: Wraith
I'm an old school photographer. Had a film SLR before gradually working my way up to the digital beasts with the big white lenses. Got SO tired of lugging all that gear around and wasting precious vacation time waiting for that 'perfect shot'. I've really missed it over the years and while I tried a little while ago to restart using the phone gimbals and the small camera gimbals, it just never seemed natural to me. When I saw the GoPro Mission 1 Pro Grip Edition, I thought to myself: 'Here is a modern day video/photo camera that might feel more like an old rangefinder camera.' Having worked with this Mission One Pro Grip Edition, I can see that this is going to be a fun restart to my old hobby, though I have a STEEP learning curve. Well I have a lot of old habits to break down, and new ones to build.
I'm really directing this review to someone who is like me, an older photographer who maybe has given up for many of the same reasons I have, but still wants to 'stay in the game' a bit. If you're a modern pro who does all kinds of video for TikTok and YouTube and such, you already know that the Mission 1 Pro is GoPro's premier camera. The headroom you have with this new sensor and lens combo is phenomenal. Comparing some of the RAW and processed images from my old DSLRs, it's really amazing what GoPro has been able to pack into here.
Some of you may ask: 'Why didn't you wait until the ILS version that has the 4/3rds sensor and the lens mount?' Good question! The answer is, I want something that is both a bit more discreet as well as simpler to use. I don't want to be swapping lenses and I don't want to be carrying all that glass again (even if they are much smaller in comparison). I'm looking for that street-photographer vibe because I was a landscape photographer and I'm used to doing expansive scenes and tight zooms of animals. The GoPro Mission 1 Pro is going to be my little guerrilla camera to catch the sights (and sounds - I also got the new Wireless Mic Kit which I've already reviewed here), of my wife and I's traveling adventures as we head into retirement. Plus, I'm not sure when the ILS system is dropping and I have a trip to Paris this fall and I want to be up to speed on this new camera system (to me), before I go.
I wish I had some beautiful footage or shots to share with you here but what I've produced so far is embarrassingly bad. Not the fault of the Mission 1 Pro! It's ALL me. Learning to 'see' things differently and film shots so that I can later pull stills from or crop (zoom) in post is REALLY, REALLY HARD! It feels much harder than coming up through the systems as a young man. What I CAN say right now is that while the learning curve is steep, I'm already loving what I'm able to do with the raw images and video from the Mission 1 Pro.
If you are like me and are looking for a new hobby, here are a few of the things that I've learned from using the GoPro Mission 1 Pro that might make your transition better.
1. Let the camera do its thing! Trust the camera to suck in all those photons, because the sensor and lens that GoPro put in/on this device are top notch. Worry about the 'art' a bit more in post. You'll catch a lot more useful footage this way.
2. Turn down a lot of the in-camera images 'help'. Having held massive camera/lens combos still for great shots, I don't need as much help holding my horizon or making sure my field is sharp. I only say this if you are someone who likes to shoot JPEG for immediate use on the web. If you are shooting RAW, then this is a moot point. I just found that the in-camera software can be a bit harsh in its processing and especially in its sharpening. It's very hard to see in the field but at home when you are pixel-peeping, it's rough.
3. If you are planning on doing audio, get the GoPro Mic Kit (or at least the single mic when that launches). While the on camera mic is fine, the new wearable mics are SO MUCH better. I don't know if I'm going to do more travelog-style footage or not, but I know it will be a lot nicer for viewers with the audio piped in from the mics.
I am SO GEEKED about learning to shoot again! I haven't had this much fun with a camera in my hand since forever. Thank you GoPro for this cool new camera and grip, you've given this old photographer a new lease on his hobby. I hope to make you all proud with what I capture.

Add the convenience and creative flexibility of a wireless microphone to your phone vlogging setup. This kit comes with an ultra-compact wireless microphone transmitter that can be comfortably worn or hidden while clearly capturing every word of your interview or vlog narration. The included receiver connects to your phone~s USB-C port to deliver high-quality audio while letting you or your subject roam freely throughout your shot.

Easy, Inexpensive, & Incredibly Versatile Kit!
on July 7, 2026
Posted by: Wraith
I'm relatively new to this vlogging thing. I've tried the gimbal cameras from other makers, and it just never clicked with me. It would be fun at first but as I went I gradually went away from using it. That is mostly because my experience and expertise is in still photography, mainly landscapes, so managing audio and coordinating shots has been a steep learning curve and I've stumbled quite a bit around that curve!
I wanted the GoPro Wireless Mic Kit to go with my new GoPro Mission One Pro: Grip Edition. I think this kit is going to be a MUCH better mesh with my style because using the Mission One Pro is more akin to using a small rangefinder/compact camera than the 'camera on a stick' mode. Walking the streets of medieval towns in Europe is going to be much more low-key with this set-up than ones I've tried in the past.
Ok, with that said, the GoPro Wireless Mic kit is probably more than I’ll ever need and given the price of other kits out there, it’s a virtual steal! Given that my wife has also found an outstanding additional use for this kit makes it a no-brainer.
I’m not doing interviews or anything like that so I’m not as worried that I can only use one microphone via a Bluetooth connection to the camera. If I ever need dual mics, that is easily rectified with the included TRS Receiver (which can be used with darn near any camera with a cold/hot shoe), though you will need a media kit for your camera to plug it in. That all being said, the sound quality from the GoPro wireless mic is SO MUCH nicer than the onboard mic. So much nicer that it actually makes me hate hearing my voice on a video clip a bit less than normal. That is an incredible accomplishment! The rest thing is that by having two microphones, I have ALL DAY coverage because I can swap them out from their case and after draining one, I can use it’s partner while the other one recharges.
Oh, and that reminds me to say, that the microphones themselves and the entire kit is also so compact that it is super easy to transport! The mics are incredibly tiny and unobtrusive, which is something I value since I’m trying to be as unobtrusive as possible while filming. The tiny transmitter and its fuzzy wind guard just make it look like I have a tiny mouse in my shirt pocket! BTW, I don’t recommend letting your cat see these wind guards. I left one out on my desk and later found it licked to death by my cat on the other side of the house.
The additional benefit that my wife found, is that instead of just sitting on the shelf when not traveling (which unfortunately is most of the time until she retires), she can use it at work for her AI transcription program! She’s a doctor and one of the few places I’ve actually seen AI do a decent job is with audio transcription. Her system has the program built in and normally she would just place her work phone in the examination room but now she can keep it next to her laptop while wearing the transmitter and using the USB-C receiver. Again, this is less obtrusive, AND has the added benefit of providing a better audio track to the AI system. I don’t think she it going to be using my system for very long, because I’m pretty sure she likes it enough to get her department to buy these for themselves! You’re welcome GoPro!
No matter what your need is, I have a hard time imagining that the GoPro Wireless Mic Complete Kit won’t be able to meet that need. The fact that it does it at such a reasonable price, is just icing on the cake.

Perfect Party Speaker! Light, Fun, and Loud!
on July 3, 2026
Posted by: Wraith
My wife just voluntold to become the new social events coordinator for her work. Now these are both mandatory fun events as well as public relations functions to represent her group. The previous coordinator had their own speaker and mic combo to use at these events and took that with them so my wife told me to be on the lookout for an easy to use, light, and loud speaker that also had a mic or at least a mic input. The Klipsch Vegas Music City Party Speaker hit ALL of her requirements and I'm a rockstar now!
Since I'M the guy who is going to be using this for her at these events, I appreciate that it has full physical controls as well as app controls. I'll use the physical controls if I'm right there but have the option to step away and still respond to her requests. Too many of these systems have offloaded controls to their apps and this can sometimes be a pain (kinda like car makers getting rid of physical knobs and buttons). This is also fortunate, because while you CAN use the Klipsch app, it is probably the weakest element out of the whole package. That's not to say that it's bad, it just isn't as fleshed out as some of the apps for speakers that DO require their usage. So it's a give and take. I'd MUCH rather have the physical controls so Klipsch is the best in my opinion if you need a great speaker with lots of options to make it fun.
So what are the things I like and don't like? Let's start with the likes:
1. Sound: First off and most importantly, a speaker like this had better sound good and get LOUD. The Vegas does both. It sounds great at both lower and higher volumes without distortion and it can get dangerously loud. Oh, and I've read some other reviews saying this thing doesn't have bass, but they either have a defective unit or they have lost the lower register of their hearing! This thing can pump out teeth rattling bass. If you can situate it in an ideal location like a corner and boost the reflection, you can really make people feel it. For a speaker of its size, it does great.
2. Lights: Now I don't care about this feature at all, but my wife did. I appreciate that the lighting setup is not absolutely silly, AND the fact that I can change it VERY easily. To me, it's as 'understated' as party lights can be on a speaker other than not existing.
3. Portability: I appreciate that even my 110lb, 4'11" wife can cart this around without struggling. I can sling this thing around no problem. The handle makes it easy to carry and is well balanced. The fact that you can orient it any which way without damaging it (due to the multitude of padded feet), makes this incredibly easy to use at home or out and about.
4. Microphone: I COMES WITH ONE! Is it the best? I don't know, but I was able to quickly annoy my wife with stupid lines from movies in no time! The only thing I wish is that the Vegas had either a clip or storage bin to hold on to it when not in use. I'm nitpicking, but maybe for Vegas 2.0!
Don't Like: (And none of these are dealbreakers whatsoever.)
1. App: If Klipsch could build out their app a bit more, mostly in showing what was playing rather than just having the pause/play, forward, back functions. Otherwise it is simple enough to not have the controls buried.
2. Hiss: There is quite a bit of hiss coming from the speaker when nothing is actively playing. I'm guessing it is the amp and is a function of a speaker that needs to throw sound out loud. I'm going to play with some of the settings to see if I can minimize it. My wife doesn't even notice it, but as a reformed audiophile it stands out to me. It is completely unnoticeable when playing music, and probably would not be noticed by anyone other than me.
Conclusion: If you are looking for a great portable party speaker that is easy to use, is loud, kicks out the bass, has lights but not a silly amount, and can be used with an included mic (or even have a guitar plugged in, natch), the Klipsch Vegas part speaker is a great value for the price. I got serious 'good hubby' points for getting it.

LOVE IT! Great prints to bring the FUN back!
on June 30, 2026
Posted by: Wraith
I'm old and still remember the joy (sometimes sorrow) of sending your film off to be developed and waiting to get the envelope back to see your shots. It was always a fun time to congregate around the 'picture flipper' to see what embarrassing, fun, or beautiful shots we managed to get (before anyone could hide or steal them).
We've lost a lot of that fun with digital photography. Early on it was still kinda the same, with everyone crowding around screens; but now with everyone having a fabulous cameral in their pocket, unlimited 'film', and instant processing, its kinda lost it's charm and immediacy.
Now with the Polaroid Hi-Print 3x3, we get a bit of that joy back. I've had other small printers before but there were usually some very big caveats to the prints, whether it was size, clarity, or longevity. This is the first printer that I genuinely see me using a lot. Here's what I like about the Polaroid Hi-Print:
1. Small and Light: This thing can actually fit into a jacket pocket. Makes it easy to have around for those random fun times with friends and family.
2. Easy Set-up: I unboxed it, charged it, downloaded the app while charging, loaded the film pack, and then paired it up with my phone. Every step was easy and intuitive. The printer was recognized almost immediately and is usually ready to go within seconds of me hitting the power button.
3. App Is Easy To Use: The app has lots of nice features to fix your photos if you haven't taken the time in your phone's photo app, and there are some really nice collage, frame, and scrapbook frames/filters. I'm hoping they drop some more on us in the near future but for now it's a great start.
4. Photos Look Great: The photos printed by the Hi-Print are nice and colorful and as sharp as they are on your screen. My one single quibble with the Hi-Print is that the cropped photo you see on the screen isn't EXACTLY what you will get. There is a bit of a bleed and I would give yourself about a millimeter all around what you actually want printed. Other than that, they're great. I can't speak to their longevity yet because I've had it for less than a week but they look like lab printed photos so I hope they hold up as well.
5. The Smiles You Get: There is something magical about handing someone a photo. It's a little mini surprise and a keepsake. They may have already seen the picture on an Insta feed or on a screen somewhere, but to hold it in your hands and have it all the time, is just cool.
Conclusion: I'm super stoked about the Polaroid Hi-Print 3x3. This is coming with me to our next friends get-together and I'm gonna go crazy. I'm gonna be like Oprah: "You get a picture! YOU get a picture!"

A Darn Near Perfect School/Work Laptop!
on June 16, 2026
Posted by: Wraith
This review is going to be easy. Rarely have I come away from setting up a laptop for my own use or for friends/family without SOME quibble about it, but frankly, for what it's for (school/work), the HP OmniBook Ultra 14 is a darn near perfect computer. Ok, I did have two quibbles, but they were easily overcome and or not an issue for its intended user (my goddaughter). I'll hit them here first just to get them out of the way. If neither of them is an issue for you, and you are looking for a beautiful and capable laptop for work of school, just go out and buy the OmniBook Ultra. This is HP's new designation for what used to be the Spectre line and just like those laptops, this one is top notch.
Quibble 1: For the first time in YEARS I had a pretty major hang-up while setting up the laptop. I actually thought I might have to send it back, but after pressing through, I think it was a simple hiccup and everything got resolved with my full update run after I got to the desktop. Without being able to replicate it, and it's seemingly ephemeral nature, I almost hesitated to put it in the review, but I thought someone else might run into the same thing and I wanted to let them know, that you can continue with the set up and once everything it updated, you'll never know anything even happened.
Quibble 2: practically no bass from the speakers. Granted I wasn't expecting any really, but if you plan on playing music or games utilizing the built-in speakers... well, I wouldn't. That being said, having run my headphone testing playlist on the OmniBook, I was rather blown away by how well it handles mids and highs. Both are incredibly well controlled for built-ins and I would actually bet that HP tuned them more for voice and casual video rather than games or movies. Some of the test songs can really stress a speakers sibilance response (the sharp SSSS sound that you can sometimes get through mediocre speakers/headphones), but the OmniBook handled it like a pro. I mean, I was EXPECTING the sibilance, and when it didn't show up, I was kinda shocked. Considering that my goddaughter already has a pair of top notch headphones (courtesy of moi), and she will mostly be using the OmniBook's speakers for online classes and videos, this is a moot point to both of us.
Other than those two relatively minor points, The HP OmniBook Ultra, while not cheap by any measure, is completely WORTH its price. The build quality, typing experience, screen, power, and battery life, are all stellar. I'm a Mac guy and this thing is making me a tad jealous. I'm betting that this HP OmniBook Ultra is going to carry her through her four years of college and perhaps on to grad school.
Nice Job, HP. Nice Job.

NOW I Know Why SO MANY Gamers Like GameSir!
on June 16, 2026
Posted by: Wraith
TLDR: If you like standard/smaller Xbox style controllers, the GameSir G7 Pro is probably the #1 controller out there now and you should buy it. If you like larger controllers, you might want to look elsewhere.
I've owned a ton of controllers since the days of Atari with the single stick and button. I remember when dual sticks on the Playstation controller made their debut. Let's not forget Duke, the massive original Xbox controller. So other than saying I'm old, I'm also saying that I've seen the best and worst in a controller over the decades. Controllers have gotten more comfortable and user friendly over the years, but they have also become more complicated and fragile as well. This is my first GameSir controller, though I have heard great things about them over the last few years, and I can say that GameSir, and the G7 Pro deserve to be at the pinnacle of any gamer's list for great controllers.
Is the G7 perfect? For me, no. For most people, probably yes. Over the last few years, several companies have made innovations and mistakes that have made me compile a 'wish list' for the perfect controller (at least for me). The G7 Pro checks off more of those items than any single controller has to date, but unfortunately the one it doesn't is probably the most important, and that would be size. I've come to the understanding that a slightly larger than normal Xbox style controller is both the most comfortable for me for long time play, but also gives me the best results when gaming, meaning I don't hit the wrong button or something. So while I do not plan to continue using the G7 Pro, if you like the standard size Xbox controller, the GameSir G7 Pro should be your NUMBER ONE choice to check out. For the price, you get a stellar controller that is well made, responsive, and customizable. Simply Phenomenal.
So you might wonder what items DOES it check off of my list? Well here are the main ones.
1. Responsive Buttons: No mush here. Nice and clicky but not TOO clicky. My other controller has nice clicky buttons but boy do they get annoying after a while. The G7 Pro has just enough dampening to soften the sound but not the feel.
2. Stick Feel: Beautifully tuned and smooth sticks. Here though, the G7 Pro is a bit louder than my other controller that also has drift-resistant sticks. I think it has to do with the face plate.
3. USB Cable Connector Guard: A favorite controller from a few controllers ago felt awesome in my hand, but was USB-C only. That would be OK if it was hardwired in with some good bend/strain protection. As it was they wanted you to be able to swap out cable lengths. What ended up happening though it that the plug on the controller got messed up and it couldn't be used any longer. If it had the system that GameSir put in for the G7, it would have worked beautifully. Oh, and it's removable, so if you use it wirelessly, it doesn't get in the way.
4. Rear Button Lock: My first controller with real buttons/paddles was the Elite and I liked that the paddles were removable because I almost never use them. Byond that, the Elite fell apart and died after only a year. With the G7 Pro, you have a nice switch to lock the grip pad buttons so they don't accidentally get triggered. On my current controller, I'm always accidentally hitting one or more of the buttons integrated into the grips and I hate it. If I were going to use ANY extra buttons, it would be ones up by the bumpers, and I love that that is where GameSir put the second set.
5. Good Software: While it may not be the most pretty or flash customization software platform on the Xbox/PC, it probably has the best customization options and functionality out there. Seriously, get the app for your Xbox and/or PC and use it. All kinds of nice tweaks you can make.
And while this isn't a point on my list, because I don't REALLY care what my controller looks like; I have to say that GameSir, in general, and the G7 Pro - Wuchang: Fallen Feathers Edition is pretty snazzy. My wife's Executive Assistant who is a huge gamer, is going to LOVE this when I give it to her next week.

A Style Upgrade To The King Of ANC Headphones!
on May 26, 2026
Posted by: Wraith
I have loved the XM1000 series of headphones since the XM2s, and Sony's latest iteration, the XM6 is the absolute king of ANC headphones. They have the best ANC, comfort, usability, and most importantly - sound. The ONLY place where some other headphones might take the lead (and even here, it is up for debate), would be in the style/build of the headphones. I personally love, the understated design in a beautiful blue, that folds up nicely into a perfect case. Others though might like a little more metal and perhaps some (fake) leather. Well, for the 10th anniversary of Sony's XM line, those people have gotten their wish! The WH-1000XX - The Collexion.
Let's start out with just saying that for all intents and purposes, this is an XM6 inside of a sexier package. But that package also costs $200 more. Do I think that package is worth an extra $200? For me, the answer would be no, because I already consider the XM6 to be the pinnacle, and for me this is just adding weight and taking away some ANC/Battery Life benefits for style 'improvements' that I don't think the line needs. That being said, I do feel that Sony gave a good amount of VALUE with that extra $200, in that they did make some very solid style upgrades that justify that bump in price.
If the thing that kept you from buying the XM1000 series was the style, then run, don't walk to pick yourself up a pair of these, you will not be disappointed. If you have a pair of XM6s (or even XM4s), and are happy, then the 1000X will not bring anything to the table for you.
Here are just some quick points that I've taken away from a week with these headphones.
Comfort: Some nice extra padding. Normally, I'd be ecstatic about this due to the lack of cushioning hair on my head and the unfortunate point that it comes to, but in this case, it is offset by additional weight and a lower clamping force so that I can't count on the ear cups to mostly support the headphone on my head and spare the top of my noggin. The XM6s are the headphones I can listen to for the longest time out of ANY headphone I've tried with the exception of some VERY expensive audiophile cans, that put a premium on lightweight materials and innovative support structures. For me, the 1000X is a step back.
Style: Like I said before, my beautiful blue XM6s are great just as they are, but if you are determined to have pleather and metal set to a new Sony style, then you will probably love the 1000X. Personally, I feel like this makes them a bit TOO stylish for my usual use which is wearing these while traveling or when I'm working on my computer in noisy locations. These feel like they should reside on a nice stand next to a stylish chair in someone's den. If that is what you want these for, then please, go ahead and get these. For me, I like the fact that I'm not worried about dinging the headphones or getting the leather scratched or dirty.
Portability: I'm following up style with this because it is directly because of the style points, that I feel that the 1000X has taken a step back. With that nice new, and very solid, headband, you lose the foldability of the XM6 which Sony brought back after the complaints of the XM5s NOT being able to fold up. And while I'm impressed that the case for these 1000Xs is a sleek as it is (and has the hand hold cut out), it doesn't pack into my flight bag as nicely as my XM6s.
ANC: While many people may not notice much of a difference between the ANC capabilities of the XM6s vs. the 1000X, I can assure you, I most certainly do. While I haven't had a chance to fly with them in this last week, I did take them to one of my usually working spots and I noticed a bit more noise seeping in than I'm used to. I don't think it is the internal hardware or the software because that should be the same, so I have to assume that it is the lack of clamping pressure and the change in the padding. Perhaps the metal of the band or the change in the ear cups also transmits more noise or subsonic vibration to my head, but I don't like it.
Sound: Here the 1000X sounds just as good as the XM6s. I find the tuning to be a bit different with the peaks pushed a bit further from the middle, but completely within the range of most modern headphones. The software that Sony boasts about with this series such as the 360UpMix is completely out of my purview. As a reformed audiophile, I'm already 'out there' by using ANC headphones in the first place, but using software to 'upscale' the sound? Nope, that is a bridge too far for me. With those software gimmicks, I feel you put too much computer between yourself and the music. You shouldn't ever need anything more than a solid set of EQ sliders, but that's just me.
Conclusion: If you are looking for the best ANC headphones currently on the market (and yes, I'll die on that hill), and you want a beautifully styled package for all that sonic goodness to be wrapped in, then the Sony 1000X will be perfect for you. For me though, I'd save a few bucks and just get the XM6s.

SO Much To Love, But Unfortunately Not For Me.
on May 19, 2026
Posted by: Wraith
I LOVE Turtle Beach, they have had some of my favorite headphones over my entire gaming lifetime (which is extensive). These would be my absolute favorite headphone of theirs except I can't wear them for any length of time over 30 minutes. I've never had a headphone with the mesh 'hammock' for a headband but I've quickly learned that it is probably the worst for my head. That being said, that is mostly on me since my advanced age has removed the hair padding from the top of my head, and genetics has given me a bit of a point to my head. ALL headband headphones have been painful for me after relatively short time, but the Stealth Pro II is probably the shortest time of all. This is a shame, because they are by far the sexiest gaming headphones I've ever had, and both the sound and earpad comfort are the absolute BEST out of any headphone I've had. My only other complaint other than the headband is the smell of the foam in the storage case. The off-gassing from that has been horrible! I have had it in my garage for a week now and it STILL smells and now my garage also smells bad!
Like I said above though, there is SO MUCH to love about this headset. If you have a generous quantity of hair on your head (or perhaps not as sensitive as mine), these are easily the BEST gaming headphones you can get right now. I'll highlight a few of the things that I'm really gonna miss after a week of gaming with these:
1. Style AND Substance: This thing oozes style and feels like a premium headphone. It is solid, with no creaks, squeaks, or rough edges. Simply the most premium gamin headphone I've ever owned and it's up there with some of the audiophile ones I used to own.
2. Those EarPods: Like clouds. If they could put that thickness of this foam on the headband for me, I'd be in heaven. AND they stay cool! Just awesome.
3. Sound Quality/Settings: If you can't get them best sound you've ever heard from a game out of these, you did something wrong. Out of the box and with no tweaking whatsoever, they sound phenomenal. When you open up the Swarm II app (which you MUST do), you will be able to tweak everything down to the smallest detail and get exactly the sound you need. No wimpy 4 or 6 band EQ here, you get a 10 BAND equalizer and a ton of custom save slots to create all kinds of profiles.
4. Swarm II App: Hands-down the best app for a headphone I have used, even compared to those audiophile ones. You almost kinda need the app because one of my only other quibbles with the Stealth Pro IIs are the ridiculous amount of buttons and wheels on the ear cups. Perhaps I'd get better muscle memory if I wore them longer but I was screwing things up more than I wanted by using the physical buttons. It was just so much easier to change settings with the App.
5. Battery Life: I only just now swapped out the installed battery with the backup one you get (and stays charged in the connector dock), and I was playing HARD and LOUD for the week. Easy to swap out and keep going with your game. I also can't believe how small that battery is! I'm old but MAN is battery engineering getting really, really good!
6. Connections: So easy to connect to anything you want, even all at once! I had the Stealth Pro IIs connected via Bluetooth to my phone, and I used the connection puck/battery charger with my Xbox Series X. Super easy to do connect to both, and you get another USB stick to connect to another console or device to make these your all-in-one headphones. Ok, I guess I have one more quibble. I wish there were a way to turn off the indicator light around the connector puck, because when I don't want to use headphones, it is constantly flashing looking for the headphones to be on. Not a big deal if you have it out of the way, but mine sits right on my desk and it is annoying.
Conclusion: While these are not cheap headphones, the are an outstanding VALUE. You get premium everything with these, the ability to use with virtually any (and multiple) device(s), and the ability to have multiple tailored sounds, make the Stealth Pro IIs a virtual sound system for everything and not just one of many headsets/bars/speakers you might have. Simply amazing, but unfortunately my noggin just can't seem to handle headband headphones any longer. Though I'm gonna spend quite some time to see if I can find a way to make these work. It would be worth whatever time and money it requires.

A Stellar Laptop For School Or Work!
on April 28, 2026
Posted by: Wraith
TLDR: If you are looking for a sleek, relatively light, laptop with a beautiful screen, very nice keyboard. and great performance, you will be very happy with the Samsung Galaxy Book6 Pro (from here on out I'm just gonna call it the Book6).
Let me start off by saying this is not going to be a review with me just regurgitating the specs for this laptop. Best Buy does a great job making those easily accessible on the main page for the Book6. What it is, is a review by a guy who has been using laptops for decades and is well versed in using technology in the classroom (I was a HS teacher).
I got the Book6 because while I had planned on buying my nephew a new laptop for his Junior High graduation, his current computer (a Chromebook) gave up the ghost before the school year ended. My nephew is on the spectrum and actually does not like technology much, so being minimalist and straightforward is a serious plus.
I would have purchased him a MacBook Air, but his High School recommends Windows PCs for the greatest 'interoperability'. Fortunately, the Samsung Book6 is probably the closest Windows laptop to the last generation MacBook Air (style-wise). I mean that as a sincere compliment, because the previous generation of Airs are timeless and well done. A lot of Apple fans were actually upset when the Air moved away from the 'wedge' and went to basically a slim Pro profile. The wedge actually did make typing nicer and the Book6 brings that benefit to a Windows PC.
Where the Book6 also excels and is like an Air is in typing and its trackpad. The keyboard, while not as great as my all-time favorite, the ThinkPad, is outstanding. Also, the trackpad is absolutely HUGE! It is also nicely responsive and has very good haptic feedback. I also appreciate the fact that Samsung went with a numpad-less keyboard centered over the trackpad. That is a must-have for me, and I believe it will help my nephew become even more comfortable with typing (making small typing mistakes really makes him anxious).
The 3K OLED screen is absolutely gorgeous, and while I abhor using a touchscreen (especially one that has a glossy surface like the Book6), I know my nephew likes it. Despite being a glossy screen, it actually does a fairly good job at minimizing the visual impact of fingerprints. The screen can be set pretty bright which is great, but since my nephew tends to like to do his school work in near darkness (cuts down on overstimulation), he'll be able to crank that down and get more battery life out of it.
Speaking of battery life, while the Book6 claims 30 hours, I don't think it will get quite that good of life, but while doing my set up for him, the laptop did sip power despite doing all the updates and configuration work. I also really like that when the computer is off and you plug it in, rather than just a small indicator light, you get a quick 10-second or so screen icon showing its current battery life and it pops back on when it is at 100%. It's very smartphone-like and I thought it was pretty cool.
If you or whomever you are buying the Samsung Book6 for, are Galaxy/Android phone users, you will get some extra integration between your phone and the Book6. It's much like the integration between iPhones and Macs, though I was unable to test out all the features because I have an Apple device.
I also, appreciate that Samsung did not hugely overburden the Book6 with a lot of garbage software. I had a pretty easy time updating the laptop and cleaning up what little bloat there is on there. I got the settings and his software (or its Windows analog), set up just how he likes it and its going to be easy for him to get the hang of this very quickly.
Finally, I appreciate how sturdy and well-made the laptop feels. It feels premium and has very little flex anywhere, which will be important to this laptop staying functional in the chaotic world of High School.
My only grumble with the Book6 at all is related to its charging brick which is a nicely compact 65w USB-C charger, but the plugs don't flip up. I absolutely HATE charging bricks with fixed prongs! Fortunately, I love the fact that we a finally in the era of standardized power cords and bricks, so even if this one gets busted it will be easy to replace.
While the Samsung Book6 Pro is not cheap by any measure, it is an outstanding school or work machine, and its VALUE matches its price. I would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone who is looking for a stylish, well-built, powerful, and eminently functional Windows laptop.

No-Brainer If You Want A Great All-In-One System
By Wraith
I wondered about creating a GPS system nowadays with so many people having their smartphones with their own GPS functionality or with most cars coming with some kind of infotainment system, but after using the OverDryve 7 for the last two weeks, I think it is a great system and is a no-brainer for anyone looking to add GPS functionality to their car.
First off, my favorite thing about this device is the mounting bracket. I kid you not. One of the things I always hated about car GPS systems was having to lock it in place and reconnect the power and such. In the process of doing that I would invariably mess with my carefully set up positioning and would have to do it all over again. The Overdryve has an awesome bracket that you keep set up in your car and plugged in to everything and the Overdryve unit itself links via magnets and the connections are made through little contacts on the back. Easy-peasy. On top of that, the basestation also has an additional GPS antenna to improve location accuracy. Now I have rarely had problems with previous GPS devices and but the additional antenna could probably help when you are in the 'canyons' of the city, though I haven't gone downtown to try it yet.
The GPS system is great. While my car has one built in, it acts a bit too much like my mother and won't let me input anything if I am not at a complete stop. My wife can't even do it from the passenger seat because if we are moving at all it completely locks out the GPS controls. I understand why, but it would be nice for some kind of override. With the Overdryve, we don't have to worry about that. She just plucks the device from the mount, types in the destination and clicks it back into place. The guidance voice is kind of grating but so is my wife yelling directions at me from her phone!
I played around with the handsfree and entertainment applications and they are fine, but my car handles that pretty seamlessly, so I don't think I will be using that function of the Overdryve. The voice commands are much more responsive than those for my car system so I will give it that. The other thing I don't have to worry about is the backup camera or tire pressure monitor, because my car already has that, but if your car doesn't, this is a really cool feature. While each of those systems is an add-on, they are both only about $150 each and I guarantee I paid more for that functionality from the auto maker.
As for the Overdryve also being an Android tablet, and can be used off the mount like any other tablet, it is true that it can do so, but it is a little bulky for that and it is an Android tablet with all that entails. Sorry, I have an iPad and I can't really see myself ever using this as just a regular tablet, but perhaps if you forgot yours and you have a fussy kid in the back and want to send it to the back seat to quiet them down, this could be a lifesaver.
Now for my few quibbles with the device. I had a little trouble syncing it to my phone for the first few tries but after I did a phone restart I didn't have a problem and it had maintained the sync no problem, so it could have been my phone and not the Overdryve. My only other problem is the name. Seriously, Overdryve?! I realize that Overdrive was probably taken but I kind of feel like some hipster should be on TV telling me how 'swaggy' this thing is. Every time I have had to type Overdryve into this review, I have had to roll my eyes and they are getting tired.
In summary, if you want a great functioning GPS system, and that is all, this is a phenomenal GPS and it costs about the same as other 7-inch GPS systems. If you need the functionality of an infotainment system, and want the ability to add safety features like a back-up camera and tire pressure monitoring, this is a no-brainer because you get all of that for the price of a basic 7" GPS. On top of all that, you get a fully functional Android tablet! I really can't see why anyone would buy any other standalone car GPS system now that this is out. Even if you don't need the other functions, they are nice to have and Rand McNally has created the best GPS device I have ever used, for the same price as other systems. Seriously, this is the unit to get.

Dash Cam!
September 25, 2016
I totally forgot about the dash cam function of this. Yet another feature that makes this a no-brainer. I have not had much experience with dash cams but this one works well. Now let's just hope I don't end up on one of those dash cam compilation videos on YouTube!

Cleaning up after pets has never been easier than with CrossWave X7 Cordless Pet Pro, our BEST CrossWave multi-surface cleaner for homes with pets. It vacuums and washes at the same time, across sealed hard floors and area rugs, combining cleaning steps and saving you time. It~s perfect for grab and go cleaning of frequent pet messes with up to 30 minutes* of hassle-free, cordless run time and it weighs just over 10.5 lbs. Our pet parent engineers incorporated three different cleaning modes: Hard Floor Mode, Area Rug Mode and TURBO PET Mode to boost cleaning performance, especially for pet and everyday stuck-on messes. CrossWave X7 Cordless Pet Pro multi-surface cleaner also has LED headlights to illuminate pet hair, dirt and debris while cleaning along baseboards and in corners. And unlike when you use a mop and bucket, there~s no need to worry about putting dirty water on the floor while you clean, since our Two-Tank Technology keeps the clean and dirty water separate. When you~re done cleaning, CrossWave X7 Cordless Pet Pro cleans itself! It has a self-cleaning cycle that rinses the brush roll and inside of the CrossWave with clean water, so there~s less clean-up after cleaning. Plus, it comes with two trial-size bottles of our PET Clean + Natural formula and two PET Multi-Surface Brush Rolls. And this machine doesn~t just clean up after pets, it helps save them! BISSELL proudly supports BISSELL Pet Foundation and its mission to help save homeless pets. When you buy a BISSELL product, you help save pets, too. We~re proud to design products that help make pet messes, odors and pet homelessness disappear.
 

Does this machine clean up both hard and soft puppy poops? We are elderly and have three Chihuahuas & a Chiweenie. Two dogs are elderly and have been pad trained because we do not have a fenced yard & area predator threats. The pups likely too.

I would not use this for either. This is for dirt, mud, dust, hair, litter, and small food bits. If it were a liquid mess (vomit/diarrhea) it might do OK, but nothing bigger or more substantial than that.

Does this come with any attachments?

No. There really isn't any need for them since there isn't a wand/hose to use elsewhere. It does have the charging/drying base as well as an extra mopping roller head.

Will this work with the new Xbox Series X gaming console? Thanks

Sort of. From what I understand from Microsoft, the only games you can have on an External USB drive are for the Xbox/Xbox 360/Xbox One. I think you can also have whatever photo/video files on it as well. Series X games have to go on the internal drive or on the new Seagate expansion drive to support the speed required.

The Turtle Beach Stealth 700 Gen 2 is the next level of premium wireless performance compatible with Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S, featuring Xbox Wireless and Windows Sonic surround sound. Take mobile calls or listen to your own music simultaneously while gaming through Bluetooth technology. An all-new metal-reinforced headband and strengthened hinge design deliver significant advancements in durability, and re-shaped Aerofit cooling gel-infused memory foam ear cushions provide premium comfort. The upgraded rechargeable battery provides up to 20-hours of wireless gaming. A larger, high-sensitivity mic improves chat clarity and conceals in the housing when muted, while 50mm Nanoclear speakers provide crisp, accurate sound for the ultimate gaming experience.
 

Are the rechargeable batteries replaceable by the end user? Batteries dont last forever, it would be a shame(and waste of money) to have to trash a 150$ headset because you cant swap a battery.

Not without busting them open. Yes, that it a big problem with a lot of devices nowadays. There might be a place where you can have someone open them up, but having the battery available is probably not going to happen. When these no longer hold a charge, they are going to need to be replaced. Wish it wasn't so.

Is the headset able to be adjusted via the app while connected to the xbox or do you have to adjust it separately?

I can change the settings through the app on my phone while playing. The app connects through bluetooth so I don't think they interfere with each other.

Does this fully support Dolby Atmos on Xbox one and Xbox Series x, through the Dolby Atmos App and and games that support Atmos?

I don't think so. When I set them up on my Xbox One X, the setting for these to work is Windows Sonic for Headphones. I have a Dolby Atmos license for another set but I can't select it with these because it says my license does not support these headphones. That being said, they sound great using Windows Sonic. Hope that helps.

Produce clear pictures and sound with this Miroir Full HD pico projector. The 7000 mAh lithium-polymer battery offers up to 2 hours of viewing time, while the pair of 2W speakers deliver high-quality sound for an all-around multimedia experience. This Miroir Full HD pico projector has HDMI and USB Type-C ports for secure connection to a variety of input devices.
 

What speakers go well with this??

Anything with a simple 3.5 mm (headphone style plug) would work, though the built in 2W speakers are pretty good for a small space. The projector can even power the speakers if they can be powered via USB.
