Perfect for workouts
on October 27, 2017
Posted by: psyclopps
from Everett, WA
These might be the perfect set of completely wireless headphones for fitness buffs. I have tried many similar devices in the past but have yet to come across something as satisfying as the Jaybird Run.
In the box you will find the documentation, charging case, earbuds, micro USB cable (ugh, I hope USB C or lightning pick up more support), multiple ear bud tips and ear hooks. A nice touch is little carrying pouch.
Setup is painless with Bluetooth pairing. Take the earbuds out, put them in your ear, it tells you to select the device in your Bluetooth menu and its gtg! I did not see any NFC support for pairing.
My first impression when I loaded some music was that I was a bit disappointed, the sound was just boring with some extra bass. I downloaded the Jay Bird app which comes with an EQ and multiple profiles. I found myself fond of the “signature” profile. Once I selected that the sound was just to my ear’s liking. The bass is has a lot of punch, mids and highs feel somewhat weak to me overall. I did not feel the sound as being very “crisp” either. But, for going to the gym, this sounded better than the vast majority of headphones out there. I would not rate it at the top of audio quality but I would give it a 80/100.
Using it in the gym was wonderful, it feels like it isn't even there as long as you have the proper fit. The headset drowns just enough of the ambient sound to get rid of gym noises but also let's just enough in for safety purposes. They are supposed to be water and sweat resistant and I found no issues here so far as I can tell. Battery life is outstanding rated at four hours with about two extra charges stored in the case. This all seemed to be pretty accurate in my testing. The entire time I used them on the gym I had no concern of them falling out of my ear and no pain from their wear. I have dropped the case multiple times in testing with no major damage and still working great.
Controls on the device are minimal with only one button on each device. The right one controls the audio while the left one enables Siri or Google Assistant. There is no volume control so you will need to rely on your phone or smartwatch to control this. Also, there is no health monitoring on these such as pedometer or heart rate tracker.
If you want a good set of headphones for the gym that are durable, reliable and have good audio quality, these are probably for you. If you want health monitoring and more advanced features I would look elsewhere.

These things are great
on October 22, 2017
Posted by: psyclopps
from Everett, WA
I am enjoying these so far. They might not be the best headphones on the market but they seem to be a good balance of what's available on the market from competitors but does not stay too far on the amazing side or poor side of things.
Starting with the unboxing, the packaging walks a line between premium and cheap. The materials overall feel cheap (cardboard and plastic) but the design is great with nice perks like darkened plastic and foam to nicely organize the components. You will find the headphones, the case, S M and L rubber earpieces, S M and L foam earpieces and a larger set of ear anchors for the device. There is the usual warranty documentation, instructions and a USB cable, no charger though.
I had some hiccups during the first use as it seemed the case was charging but the ear buds were not doing so. I later figured out that you have to push the ear buds with a little force to make sure they make contact with the connectors, after this they glowed a nice red until charged. The case appears to not have to be closed to charge so you can leave it open if you want to see the indicators. The case is a little bulky but it holds extra battery that will recharge the device a few times.
As for the ear buds, it took a minute to figure out the proper fit. Most ear anchors are placed in the upper ear but the ones on this device hang on to the lower ear which feels a little strange if you are not used to it. The rubber tips are comfortable once you find the right size. Ensure you get a good fit since you will lose a lot of the base in the headphones if they do not fit properly. As for the fit they seem to stick out of your ear a lot when wearing them so they look a little goofy on me but that might just be me. The devices look a little large in general and they do not feel like they will stay in my ear but after prolonged testing I found that I have had no issues with loosing a seal or having them fall out.
They sound great. I recommend you download the associated Sony app “Headphones Connect” since it will add some cool features such as adaptive sound control which will change the EQ and noise canceling based on your environment around you. There is a lot of clean bass, lots of crisp accents in the notes, clean sound (no static), great highs. I am no audiophile but it sounds amazing to me like a decent set of cans. I was using a iPhone 8 at a test using the AAC codec and I can say this headphone does a great job with Bluetooth audio.
Gym use was superb. I was slightly worried they might fall out when working out but they never once came out of my ear. The only time they didn't feel snug was when I was doing push ups or was in an incline type position since the anchor was less not as able to grab my ear when not in a normal vertical position. I ran across one issue with prolonged use, it seems the right headphone occasionally missed a few notes and seems to reconnect to the left ear bud every 3-4 songs. It was minor enough to not interrupt my experience but it is noticeable if you are looking for it.
Battery life is pretty much as advertised, you can expect about three hours of use and they recharge in about an hour or so when you put them back in the case. Pairing the devices on iOS is done with the usual holding a button for a few seconds to get it in pairing mode. Android pairing can be done with NFC to make things a little easier. I was very impressed with the range. I have yet to find the max range but I have walked more than 30 feet and had no degradation in quality.
I have a lot of good things to say about these but here really the reasons I am not giving it a perfect score. First, there is no sensor to see if it is in your ear or not in the ear. It will keep playing music if you take it out. If you put it back in the case it seems to stop though. Charging is via micro USB. I would have preferred lightning or USB C. They are somewhat bulky including the case and have a weird light that people can see that blinks every so often that you don't see much on headphones these days. You might like or dislike that but I find it draws attention. There is only a power button on the left earphone and the right one has a single control button which can pause, skip or go back on 1, 2 or 3 presses. I have not discovered any volume button which is every annoying since you must rely on your device for that.
So as I said there are great factors to this device, there are also some forgotten or half baked parts of this. If you want a simple device with great sound quality that has noise canceling and pretty good battery life, these are great. If you want all the bells and whistles in a small or discreet package I would avoid. Over I like them as they work great and are reliable.

Fun toy
on October 18, 2017
Posted by: psyclopps
from Everett, WA
This is a pretty nifty toy for your kids, a good amusement for adults both with and without a AR headset.
The packaging is pretty simple, the device is on a plastic tray with some simple plastic around it. The box shows the website you can get compatible apps at. I found that if you just search “merge” on iOS you can save a step and find a lot of the apps directly.
Using the cube with just the phone is pretty cool. I downloaded a app that let's you explore the human body, it was more for kids but still entertaining. It does a good job of tracking the cube and superimposing the image on top of it as you rotate it. It is probably best used with a headset that supports AR but I found it very easy to use without one.
I recommend this product primarily to child as it is entertaining and can be used as a learning tool. The only problem I came across is there are not too many apps I could find so I would browse your app store first to see what is compatible.

Good entry level VR/AR
on October 6, 2017
Posted by: psyclopps
from Everett, WA
This product is not bad at all. If I had to coin it with one term it would be “Entry level”. The device does not come with a whole lot in the box other than the unit itself, some instructions and a cleaning cloth. The unit itself is well built. It advertises “marshmallow soft” and I would say this claim is true. The surfaces that touch your skin are extremely soft indeed.
The controls are relatively simple, the top and bottom have “buttons” that can be used to adjust the lenses to your eye positioning. The top knobs are also action buttons you can use for games or interacting with your VR apps. It fit my iPhone 8 perfectly and there is no real tray to insert it into like other VR devices, just a extremely soft slot on the top you will slide your phone into. There is a cover on the front cover of the device to allow the camera to look out for AR apps. I recommend keeping it closed if you are working with a VR app to reduce light from coming in. The head straps work well to keep in on your head and fit my huge head just fine.
The box recommends you obtain your apps from the website they manage. It is a good showcase website and will provide you links to apps in the Google Play store or the Apple App store. The problem I found here is that you click on the link and it often sends you to an app that might not be compatible with your device or that costs money. This would be nice to have explained on the website since it adds wasted time. I had lots of good luck using it with Youtube and Google Cardboard app. The VR effect is similar to other entry level devices but adds the higher quality lenses, adjustability and comfort.
I would recommend this device primarily for children or for dabbling into basic VR/AR apps and videos. If you are expecting a groundbreaking VR experience, it is not in that class. Just make sure to look for VR/AR apps from other sources since you will find a good variety out there.

Not quite there, needs work
on October 4, 2017
Posted by: psyclopps
from Everett, WA
I really wanted to like this product. On paper, it sounds like exactly what I needed to ensure there is a hard copy secure backup of my phone photos. In reality, it is a buggy piece of hardware that backed up by a poor required app.
The packaging is simple but good quality, once you slide out the device you will find the device, power adaptor and some documentation that is printed into the packaging. In short, it tells you to plug it in, download the app, and plug in a lightning cable. This is where I hit my first snag.
Upon plugging in the lightning cable I was worried that I received a broken unit. The USB A portion of the cable would not fit! I was wondering if it was my cable but I tried another one with the same issue. After some wiggling I was finally able to get a good fit but it shouldn’t have required so much effort.
After wrapping the lightning cable around the rubber edges to tuck extra cables away (this should be a retractable built in cable in my opinion), I plugged in my iPhone 8 which prompted me to download the app. I did and went through the required permission setup which was fast. The app then crashed when trying to upload my photos on the SD card for the first time. I had about 1000 photos paired with iCloud on my phone and the app crashed every time. I went to the support pages and went through the steps suggested. The steps are replug in the base, replug in the lightning cable, force close the app and reload and also redownload the app. None of these helped. Eventually I backed up my photos into a cloud drive and deleted most of them. The app then uploaded photos taken with the camera perfectly and quickly. I don't know if the app doesn't fully support the iPhone 8 or iOS11 but there seems to be some big bugs in there that almost render it useless. I am sure these can be fixed in subsequent app updates but it isn't there yet.
The hardware isn’t bad, it feels high quality with great rubber and metal materials. The storage size comes from a SD Card (SanDisk Ultra PLUS U1 80 MB/s) that is inserted in the back which is great in my opinion since you can upgrade later. There is no wireless charging and all charging is done with your own lightning cable. On the plus side it is rated at 15W 3 amps for some faster charging.
I really wanted to like this device as my photos mean the world to me. I usually back everything up in two cloud services but I like having a hard copy of my photos on hand just in case. It can help if you are short on storage as well since it can delete files from your phone after. I feel this product can take care of a real need for anyone who wants a hard copy or doesn’t want to pay for a cloud service, but I might wait on purchasing it until the software matures more.

Buy this now! Make your dreams come true!
on October 4, 2017
Posted by: psyclopps
from Everett, WA
Woah, my mind is officially blown by this product. It is like they reached into my brain as a 10 year old and came up with the ultimate toy car.
The packaging is premium. The cardboard is high quality with information on the product and nice glitter effects on some of the surfaces. Opening it is easy separating the top portion from the base. Inside you will not find a lot but the cara is “parked” in its carrier. It has little plastic cups covering its wheels as if it was being held on a trailer. The red AC adapter is inside along with a bit of documentation.
The app needs to be downloaded to make this work, on iOS it is about 200 megabytes so make sure you have room. The documentation states to plug it in for 30 mins on first use. After you plug it in (in the gas tank of course), it gets cool…
I figured there would be a charging indicator but nope, it is way more fun. The headlights and brake lights start to pulse, the eyes illuminate and the car starts looking around. The car makes a few quirky remarks and moves the front side up and down as if he is shifting his weight just like he moves in the cartoon. When the charge is ready, he tells you with a moving mouth that he is ready to go!
Pairing the app to the device is easy and might require a quick firmware update. The instructions are simple enough but you point it the right way, set the direction and get to some awesome times with your your kids! The car can go in reverse, drift, and has a turbo button for speed. Lightning McQueen makes remarks the whole time you are having a blast and the action is extremely responsive. You can use sphero controls which takes a little getting used to or you can switch it to RC controls if you are a vet in that world.
This device is extremely premium, it scream quality in every way. If you want to make a few dreams come true, I say go for it. The battery life was a little short and the wireless range was shorter than I expected. Even with that, I didn’t care, the perks of this device far outweigh the negatives by far.

Amazing upgrade
on September 24, 2017
Posted by: psyclopps
from Everett, WA
I was a bit skeptical upon received this unit. There are a lot of bold claims made here about decreasing your ping time, great range and speed and so on.
The packaging is premium with lots of great pictures and information. The device itself feels rugged, looks cool and fun but stays professional looking. It follows the typical designs of the WRT series but adds a few gaming twists to it.
The back side of the device has all the great things you might want in a high end router. Four ethernet connections, one USB 2.0 connection, one e-sata connection.
Setup is a breeze, it does not appear to use much of the internet setup other routers sometimes use, it is straight forward in the device itself. Once it is up and running expect great things.
I have a Killer wifi card I purchased on amazon in anticipation of getting this router because I wanted to see what killer devices can do. In short, it works as advertised. The killer wifi ensures speeds are consistantly high and my ping dropped about 10ms from my old device. Now, the difference between 22ms and 12ms is negligible but I can not complain about any edge I can get in a game.
Otherwise, my connection is highly reliable anywhere in the house and I have great signals everywhere I go.
I have zero complaints about this device, it is fast, easy to use and looks cool.

Wow!!!
on September 22, 2017
Posted by: psyclopps
from Everett, WA
I wasn't sure what to expect from this when I first received it. It looked nice, had a cool advertised wheel feature but I was not prepared for this thing. I also did not know what I was missing out prior to this with my old keyboard.
Packaging is very premium for a fancy keyboard such as this. Included is the keyboard which has an amazing gunmetal and gray look to it. It has nice heavy weight and will not slide around at all. It comes with a universal Logitech receiver, documentation and a USB-C cable! I am just glad to see accessories adopting the USB C format.
Set up confused me a little. It will not automatically start working on your PC if you plug in the USB C cable. You NEED to install the receiver to get this to work, it appears the USB C cable is only used for charging.
Once I got it working it was a beauty to behold as the lights glowed nicely. I started to play with the wheel in a few apps and it did not appear to do much other than control the volume. I went to the website and saw that there was software. This is a bit confusing too since I did not remember reading any software was needed in the manual. In short, download the "Logitech Options" software. This will enable full functionality on your computer and download profiles to enable advanced wheel functions in Office and Adobe suites.
One neat surprise when I was fully good to go was that the wheel adapts to the situation. If you are just switching tabs in chrome for example, it has a clicky feel to it. If you are playing a music app that needs volume, it automatically turns into a very smooth feel that enables perfection in your movements. I played around with Excel where changing charts and designs was easier and a similar experience in word.
There is a learning curve for the functions but the website and software have multiple tutorial videos to introduce you. I was not sure how useful this would be but the more I use it the more I like it.
As for being a simple keyboard, it doubles up for PC or MacOS. It has a windows key and a cmd key so you are good either way. You can pair this keyboard with up to three devices if you have the unifying receiver installed in multiple PCs (very useful!).
Typing this review on this keyboard I found myself having far fewer errors than I usually do. It is extremely precise and the keys have an outstanding amount of give that matches my taste perfectly.
Buy this keyboard immediately if you are a creative professional, writer, or simply spend a lot of time in front of a computer, you wont regret it! I had a few gripes with the setup but the awesomeness of this keyboard overcame that!

Perfect

Posted by: psyclopps
from Everett, WA
This will be my new everyday mouse on my gaming computer. It is not a mouse with a huge number of buttons, it is not overly flashy but it is probably the best mouse I have ever came across for my needs.
For starters, I like to game. Mostly strategy, FPS, 3rd person and simulation games, but I also do a lot of work and photo editing on my desktop. This being the case, it is always hard to find a good mouse that excels in all categories. I think I found it with the G703.
First off, it looks cool. It is mostly white with black accents. The G logo and wheel change color (this can be fine-tuned in the optional G software. The software is worth the download since you can customize various profiles such as lights, the surface you are using it on, key press heat maps and more.
Using it is very easy. The wireless mode is very plug and play for instant use even if you don’t download the software. Most wireless mice will charge with a tiny USB cable that plugs into the bottom, not this bad boy! They actually thought about how people use mice and provided a long, braided cable which plugs into the front of the mouse so you can use it as a wired mouse. The connector has a few extra plastic prongs around the USB connector that look like horns which reinforce the USB connector and prevent wear and tear.
The mouse allows for multiple DPI sensitivity levels which is great for different types of games and various work situations.
Great job to Logitech for making a perfect mouse!

Great juicer
on July 23, 2017
Posted by: psyclopps
from Everett, WA
This is my first juicer so I had a bit of learning to do upon receipt on the assembly, proper usage and recipes that this could be used for. I would feel that overall it is a good juicer for a first-time user.
This unit comes in a pretty small package in my opinion but to achieve this there is a bit of assembly required. To a novice, some of the pieces don’t make much sense since they are not represented in the quick assembly guide but can be explained in the manual. This is a bit of an annoyance but not hard to figure out if you are willing to read a little bit.
Once you have it put together I tossed a few different fruits and veggies in there to see how it performs in various conditions. First, an apple. It worked flawlessly and going about 8 oz or so out of a single apple. Oranges and berries were a bit more of a challenge since the soft pulp did not always work its way through the system. More fibrous items such as carrots also fare well. Having no juicing experience, I was surprised that it took so many oranges to get juice out and I am sure this is very fruit specific seeing as how an apple could fill up a cup easily while it took three oranges to get the same. There is a small included recipe book which has some great juice recipes. It also comes with a small jug you can put juice into and seal up for later, or you can juice straight into a cup.
There are plenty of nice touches on this unit that makes it feel premium and well thought out. The metal accents and hard plastic feel very sturdy, and the unit looks great in a kitchen. If you plan on storing it the cable wraps around the base in a groove that is designed for that purpose.
Here is the main reason I took a star away. The unit advertises one-minute easy cleaning but it often doesn’t work that way. Some items are very simply to clean due to the quick disassembly. Some items such as oranges have much more intensive cleaning. Your first assembly and disassembly will be a bit of a puzzle but once you get used to it is no big deal if you plan the cleaning time.

SynopsisThe last time the earth was ravaged, animals were saved two by two in a massive ark, peacefully sailing to a new beginning, or so the story goes. This time, we're not so lucky. With a massive asteroid hurtling toward the planet, a select few were chosen to inhabit modern-day arks — pods buried deep within the earth's core. You were chosen. You were buried alive. And you rose from the ground to face your worst nightmare. Hordes of mutants killing without a thought, bandit gangs wreaking havoc throughout the already defunct wasteland, a looming Authority seizing maniacal power and holding secrets — this is what remains of humanity. The world as you know it is gone, but if any world is to stand in its place, there's only one person left who can raise it up from the ashes — you. That is, if you can survive the Rage.Step up to the challenge and climb into the wasteland in the first-person shooter that flings you to the edge of the earth and the brink of extinction.

To redeem humanity, you must master a massive arsenal of exotic wingsticks, sentry bots, bomb cars and other powerful weapons and fearlessly wage war against the evil forces overtaking your planet. Fire through heart-pounding first-player shooting action, rip through the wasteland in high-octane vehicle chases and turn your car into your most deadly weapon — you have to play dirty if you want to live. Experience the mass decay with every painfully realistic detail with the id Tech 5 engine and Megatexture technology, firing at 60 frames per second to make you feel as if the world has crumbled around you. And when you take the battle online, the devastating action really does stretch around the world. You've survived the apocalypse. Now comes the real battle.

First of all the reason for such a low rating is that the game is not playable. Right out the box. Now, I have been building pc's for over 10 years and have sunk hundreds of dollars into my rig to play the most demanding games. And I do. The problem is that ID software sent out a game to the public that is not finished. Google, rage graphics problems and you will find a magnitude of arcticles about poor graphics bad drivers and other issues. AMD and Nvidia have been working for a driver patch but reports from many say they do not work to fix the tearing and poor rendering . People are paying $60.00 for a pc game. Dont you think it should work right away without having to wait for a patch?

To be fair, a patch has since been release which fixes many of these PC problems including better support for video cards and settings.

Horrid Sound
By DELienz from Delaware
I had pair of Sony Headphones that I bought a few years ago for approx. $50 dollars... Sounded Amazing, but I recently ran then over with my car... Anyway bought these assuming the sound would be similar and also compensate for my only complaint with my other heardphones which was falling constantly out of my ear during workouts. Turns out these are more expensive but that sound terrible. Tried changing the setting on my IPOD and there is no overcoming the lack of bass. I am a auidiophile and I do listen to music a lot of double bass and drums so bass is something I must have in a headphone. If that's what you looking for don't buy these. I'm confident cheaper headphones with the same quality sound can be obtained so I would not recommend these to anyone...

Balanced Armature
June 28, 2012
Balanced Armature headphones are designed to sound like the original recording. Most headphones these days are "dynamic armature" which are designed kind of like a hardware equilizer where bass is usually most important. Any of these balanced armature headphones are aimed specifically at audiophiles as they repoduce very true to original sound with detailed mid ranges and highs.

Yes they do! Each earbud gets its own independent stream so you can use them exactly as you describe.

Capture up to 1440p video with this Nextbase 522GW dash camera. Alexa enables hands-free control through voice commands, and Bluetooth 4.2 and Wi-Fi technologies sync with compatible smartphones for quick access to important footage. This Nextbase 522GW dash camera has ports for connecting compatible camera modules for easy expansion.
 

How does Alexa give you directions to your desired destination? Do they show up on the screen, or is this Alexa feature not available on this dash cam?

Alexa is present but it does not integrate into any build in GPS as far as I can tell. There are other devices such as the Garmin speak which combines a dash cam with Garmin + Alexa navigation via a skill but there is no screen on that device.

Garmin Speak™ Plus with Amazon Alexa is what you love about Amazon Alexa, now in your vehicle. Use voice control for hands-free access to music, news, navigation and more. Plus, a built-in dash cam gives you forward collision and lane departure warnings.
 

Can you please tell me more about the dash cam. Can it be controlled by voice or a remote button? Where does it store the videos and how can I get them? Through wifi or only sd card?

It is simply always recording. There is a separate app you must download if you want to view on your phone. It will connect to your phone via wi-fi but you can take out the Micro SD card if you want to plug the videos in to your computer. There is an overlay option which tells the drivers speed and a little more info as well. It also records in car audio.

If maps stay up to date , is the system using my data plan ? Garmin & TomTom use satellites , what does this system use ? Does this system in any way use my data plan and if so , how ?

I did a trip to a national park using this device. It appears there are no downloaded maps as the moment I lost my data connection the device didn't know what to do. It seems it is always using your data plan as long as you are using pretty much any of its features other than dashcam.

With all these features, Does it scan the road and next to the road for objects such as DEER ? If so will it alert you ?

From my experience, no. There is only lane detection warning and collision detection warning as added safety features.

Is there any way to do talk to text in tablet mode? Or make the keyboard swype at least?

There is no dictation function but there is a few keyboard settings that could help. You could configure the touch keyboard in split layout so you can use only your thumbs on each side of the screen to type. It takes a little practice but is useable when you get used to it. There is a also a "Scribble" mode where you can write on the screen and it will turn it into text.
