Nice and light!

These have a really small profile and are very lightweight. Good both for exercising and for working. You barely notice that you have them on.
Paired with my phone quickly and easily. Note though that there’s a firmware update that I wasn’t able to load – tech support said it’s an issue with the latest iOS version and they expect an update soon.
Pros:
Decent sound (note that it sounds differently with the various ear bud sizes so try them all in your ears to see which size gives you the best fit and best sound) I liked the sound better sitting at my desk vs. when running.
Decent sound (note that it sounds differently with the various ear bud sizes so try them all in your ears to see which size gives you the best fit and best sound) I liked the sound better sitting at my desk vs. when running.
They aren’t noise canceling and do let in some outside sound so you are aware of your surroundings which is helpful when running.
Good distance Bluetooth connectivity (never cut out during a run with the phone in a waist belt)
Easy to use buttons (gentle touch/taps and doesn't put too much pressure on your ear)
Comfortable (I ran for 45 mins and ears felt fine / weren’t sore at all)
Sound in both ears on phone calls (many ear buds only play phone call audio in the right ear alone)
They come on automatically when you remove them from the case and put in your ears.
Decent run time (6.5 hours) + 13 extra hours of "charge" in their battery case and a 10 min quick charge if you let them go dead just charge for 10 mins and your back in action for a run.
Cons:
Not as good deep base as higher end $300 ear buds, but these are half that price
Not as good deep base as higher end $300 ear buds, but these are half that price
Phone call audio quality was a little tinny (however people on the other end said I was clear)
Volume could be louder. Not sure if they keep it lower for a safety thing so you can hear some surrounding noise, but these are quieter than other buds I’ve used.
No EQ. I prefer a bit more bass and couldn’t change the settings.

Definitely helps improve your posture!

from Kure Beach, NC
Does what it says it does - improves your posture. I found myself auto-correcting immediately and trying to maintain a better upright posture within just 30 minutes of using it.
Also learned a few things instantly - when I'm typing at my desk, my posture was actually pretty good. Got on 2 phone calls and found out my posture gets horrible whenever I get on the phone!
Pros:
Very easy to setup and start using.
Lightweight - you barely feel it on.
Vibration feedback really works quickly.
Quiet - no one else will likely realize you have it on under your shirt.
Easy to switch on the device or in the app between training mode (vibration feedback when you slouch) and tracking mode (quiet mode that still keeps track of your time upright or slouched).
Charts your progress in the app with stats etc. (see pics)
Rechargeable battery.
Small carrying case that makes transporting/traveling with it very easy.

Fun, nostalgic, but not high quality prints...
on November 15, 2019
Posted by: ShawnInKB
from Kure Beach, NC
If you miss the old days of a “Polaroid picture” - then you might like this.
Easy to use once you get the hang of it - be sure to read the instructions! You need to make some adjustments to your phone (turn off true tone, turn off night shift) and you NEED to gently press the phone down after you've set it in place until you see the lights blink 3 times. (I struggled with this at first and thought it was defective.)
Printing is very quick, but the pictures take a few minutes to fully develop, so don't expect "instant" and you should also leave them face down right after printing so ambient light doesn't affect the exposure.
You are also supposed to remove your phone case and any screen protector. I don't think anyone is going to do this - especially the phone screen protector (the adhesive screen protector would be ruined every time you removed it!?)
Picture quality is just ok (maybe that's because of my screen protector) and you won't be winning any awards with this thing and the colors are pretty muted. But that's not what this camera is for – it's just to print some instant photos to share or put on your fridge. See pics for some side by side of iPhone X actual vs. printed Polaroids that I printed.
All in all - if you are looking for a small, wireless, rechargeable, easy to use printer to print your phone pics in the kitchen in a few seconds and like the nostalgia of a Polaroid (and don't have a screen protector on your phone!) - then this is for you.
If you do use adhesive screen protectors on your phone or are looking for high quality image prints, get a photo printer.

This one goes to VR "11!"
on November 1, 2019
Posted by: ShawnInKB
from Kure Beach, NC
Awesome graphics and speed. I use this PC for VR gaming and it rocks! HTC Vive looks amazing in it. Fast smooth motion and it also had an open PCIe slot that I needed for adding the wireless WiGig card that the Vive uses for untethered wireless play.
Setup was a breeze. I timed it and it only took 10 mins 44 seconds to completely setup windows etc. once I plugged it in.
Boot time is blazing fast only takes about 5-6 seconds.
When I did the Steam VR Performance Test it pegs it at the top end. Not sure if the scale normally goes to 10, but they rated it an 11! See pic attached.
The graphics look amazing in VR. The resolution, crispness, and details are literally 25-30% better than my old PC and graphics. VR is so much more immersive with this PC/Graphics combo (came with the Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 Super 8GB graphics card).
In short this pc rocks and VR is awesome with it.

Small size, rechargeable, quick BPM
on October 13, 2019
Posted by: ShawnInKB
from Kure Beach, NC
This is a nice personal and travel BPM. Quick (only takes about 30 seconds) and connects to the Withings App to keep track of your Blood Pressure. You don't need the app though as it also has a display that's kind of modern retro (see pics).
Very slim and small packaging make it perfect for use anywhere including travel. (A little smaller than a can of soda.)
Rechargeable via Micro-USB, so no dealing with batteries.
App was easy to install and it automatically saw my new BPM and added it.
Great for techie or NON techie for a quick instant read of your BP.

Good toaster & air fryer - even 2 dishes at once!
on September 30, 2019
Posted by: ShawnInKB
from Kure Beach, NC
Really enjoying the “air fryer” cooking setting on this appliance. So far I’ve cooked a cauliflower crust pizza and a couple bacon wrapped steaks with the air fryer setting and both came out very good.
I made the mistake of using the cooking pan instead of directly putting the pizza on the rack – so bottom crust wasn’t done as quickly as the cheese and toppings. Rookie mistake – just put the pizza on the rack directly. Also with the air fryer setting it cooked in almost half the time as the “conventional oven” instructions - so keep an eye on it the first time you try that setting.
I made some bacon wrapped steaks and they came out perfect. Just put seasoned steaks onto the included air fryer stainless tray, put raw bacon on top and then air fried at 425 for about 20 minutes. Steaks and bacon were cooked perfect and had a really nice browned exterior. (see pics).
Pros:
Really like the air fry setting and it seems to cook a fair amount faster than traditional baking

Large capacity – it has room to cook 2 separate dishes at the same time (one on the rack and one on the pan)
Cons:
With its large capacity, comes a bigger than normal toaster footprint. (It’s about the same width as a standard toaster oven, but taller)
With its large capacity, comes a bigger than normal toaster footprint. (It’s about the same width as a standard toaster oven, but taller)
Analog dials – definitely less precise than digital and the cook timer has to be set past 20 mins and then adjusted back down (if you are cooking for less than 20) for the timer bell to ring. Seems a bit archaic.
No “pre-heat” mode or beep – probably due to a limitation of the analog controls, but if you want to pre-heat you’ll need to set a different timer for say 5 mins to let it get up to heat.
Overall have liked trying out the new convection and air frying settings and looking forward to testing it out with some other traditional fry type foods like wings, fries, etc.

Good home office/small bus color laser printer!
on September 30, 2019
Posted by: ShawnInKB
from Kure Beach, NC
Print quality is very good (note this is a color laser printer, not an ink jet) and prints just under 20 pages a minute either color or B/W. Copying is also fairly quick and renders nice crisp professional looking copies even in color.
It scans quickly and accurately either via the auto feeder or the glass and allows you to push the scan from the printer directly to your pc from the printer onscreen menu.
WiFi setup was quick and easy. It’s cartridges are 3 color toner cartridges and 1 Black cartridge that can be replaced individually.
Holds a whole ream of paper at 250 sheets and allows for envelopes and manual feeding as well.
It weighs about 50 pounds and fits perfectly on a filing cabinet (see pics).
Only cons I found were that it doesn’t handle either duplex scanning or printing. (Upgrade to the next model up - the MFC-L3770 if you think you’ll be scanning or printing lots of double-sided things)
Overall pleased with this multifunction laser printer and scanner.

Keeps Internet/WiFi on during power outage!
on September 18, 2019
Posted by: ShawnInKB
from Kure Beach, NC
I tested this a few times by plugging my internet modem and WiFi router into it and then unplugging the unit.
I tested it 3 days in a row and it powers both without interruption for a solid 2 hours before getting low. You don't have to do anything for setup other then connect the battery underneath with a simple connector (see pics) and then plug it into the wall and plug your devices into it. For reference I have an Arris Cable Modem and a Netgear Orbi WiFi Router.
The real test though was recently during Hurricane Dorian when we lost power for about 45 mins - internet stayed up and we were able to keep watching the weather on our iPads via the internet!
I also love that you can set it to be silent (no beeping) until it gets low so you don't have to listen to an annoying beeping for 2 hours while it's running.
Great backup power for internet!

Looks like it should protect the phone. Good cushioning all around the edges without being too bulky. Doesn't rub against my screen protector either and has a slightly raised lip on the sides that should help as well if ever dropped.
Comfortable to hold and case is non slip, but goes in and out of my pocket easily.
Overall good slim protective case for the money.

Great for running!
on August 2, 2019
Posted by: ShawnInKB
from Kure Beach, NC
I use these for running and exercise and they work great.
Paired with my phone quickly and easily and worked well across the room 15-20’ away (great for a gym workout if you have your phone away from you, but in the same room).
Pros:
Good sound and volume (note that it sounds differently with the various ear bud sizes so try them all in your ears to see which size gives you the best fit and best sound)
3 equalizer settings (I found the JLab signature to be the best)
Optional "Be aware" mode to let in outside sound so you are aware of your surroundings
Good distance Bluetooth connectivity (never cut out during a run with the phone in a waist belt)
Easy to use buttons (gentle touch/taps and doesn't put pressure on your ear)
Good fit - 7 different ear bud options to get a perfect fit
Kept sweat out of my ears (which other headsets didn't stop)
Comfortable (I ran for 45 mins and ears felt fine / weren’t sore at all)
Sound in both ears on phone calls (many ear buds only play phone call audio in the right ear alone)
Long run time (10 hours) + 60 extra hours of "charge" in their battery case so you could use them every day for a week for roughly 8 hours a day without recharging the case
I also like that the case/battery can charge other things like your phone or tablet via a standard usb connection

4 out of 5Best fitting case / issue with power button crack
By ShawnInKB
from Pottstown, PA
Overall a great case as long as it holds up! 1st one got a crack at the power button within 2 weeks. The plastic there is just too small/not sturdy enough and I barely used it. You almost never even use the power button because it automatically comes on and off when you open and close the case. Lots of others had this same problem. On my 2nd one - 2 weeks in (so far so good, but being really gentle with it just in case.)
Otherwise a great case. Good viewing angle, great form factor, super light so it doesn't bulk up your iPad air. Keyboard takes some getting used to and keys are in weird places, but much better for typing than the on screen keyboard. Nice slim package, lets you type better, easy access to the camera, power, and charging port. Good viewing angle. Note the only slimmer full case was the OEM Appple iPad full case which I tried 1st, but it was worthless. The only viewing angles on that one were basically flat and 90 degrees so not usuable at all. Go with this one instead and careful with the area of plastic by the power button.

Sync lights connected to the Smart Outdoor Plug with the sunset and you’ll walk out to a backyard that’s ready for evening activities.
I actually have 3 questions. Is this device gfi protected? Can I control each outlet separately? I’ve yet to see a straight answer on that question What are the current and temperature ratings for the device?
No it is not GFCI, but most places require outdoor outlets to be on a GFCI in that circuit so should be covered by your GFCI outlets. No, it turns both plugs on/off simultaneously. Not sure on it's temperature rating. Didn't see any details on that in the manual.- only that it is IP44 rated.

Meet Talk GO, JLab’s compact, lightweight, and portable USB microphone. With 2 studio-quality condensers and a generous resolution of 96kHz/24BIT, this is a great entry level microphone for all around use with high performance. The Talk GO has 2 directional pattern modes to choose from and has volume and mute controls, making it great for calls, podcasts, gaming, ASMR and voiceovers using its two directional pattern modes.
Does it use an aux cord
It is USB connection only for connecting to your PC/Mac. There is a 3.5 aux jack on the bottom of the mic for connecting a 3.5mm headset for listening if desired. Instead I just use the output of my PC speakers to hear others on my meetings/web calls.

Cut The Cord with AirTV Player. Stream movies, TV, music and other content using a wide range of apps, including Netflix, SlingTV, Google Play and many more from the Google Play Store all with AirTV Player. AirTV’s streaming platform integrates local over-the-air (OTA) programming with your streaming services. The AirTV Adapter and an OTA antenna provide local channels like ABC, CBS, NBC and FOX, without a monthly cable bill.
I’m confused. How/ where does it get ota channels? Is there an antenna that comes with it? Similar to the digital antenna I use now for local channels? Or does it get the local ota channels and stream to device via the internet?
If you have an OTA antenna already you will be all set. Just unscrew the OTA coax cable from your TV and connect it to the OTA AirTV adapter (included with this item.) Then it will show the locals right in the AirTV/SlingTV same guide.

I have a house built in 1930 and it is 1000 sq. ft. up and 1000 sq. ft. basement. I have 2 wifi extenders because of the solid brick and plaster walls to pick up better signal in dead areas. I currently have a Netgear 55 router. Would this work better?
I would say yes based on my results. Before I installed the Orbi I ran 5 separate speed tests on my laptop in various parts of our home. (3 story house - 2700 sq. ft).
I ran tests from each floor on my existing router (TP Link WR1043ND - a 300Mbps Wireless N Gigabit Router). Speeds averaged 43.76Mbps down and 4.35Mbps upload.
After I installed the Orbi, I re-ran the same speed tests in the same locations and speeds now average 62.83Mbps down and 5.80Mbps upload. Significantly faster!
The 2 spots in the house - top floor and basement both went from 28.56Mbps and 21.72 to 64.33 and 63.46 - so much better coverage and the Orbi's base + satellite coverage now provides equal coverage thoughout the entire home.
