Sony have done it again!
on September 14, 2018
Posted by: EnglishD
from Fairborn, OH
Amazing!
If this was to be a one word review then "Amazing" would be the word i used.
Sony have taken what was amazing about the Xm2 and improved in every way. Not only are they more comfortable but they're also lighter! They provide excellent padding in the band and the cups and they feel as sturdy as ever.
The color scheme has changed slightly with the black pair having almost brass accents . looks very classy.
USB C for charging! Hoorah! that makes it so much easier in an age where micro USB is becoming a relic, now i can carry one wire for charging my phone and headphones.
The sound wasnt poor on the M2 but its been improved again providing a really nice range. The lows are low and the mids and highs shine through regardless of the music you are listening too.
They even improved the ANC which is hands down by far the best available
Overall these are amazing and have took the mantle of the best headphones i own

Love this headset!

I love this headset. I use it not only with my Xbox but also PS4 and PC and it works great on all of them. The mic is nice and clear, the fitting of the headset is comfortable and its pretty light even though it looks big.
Sound is great through this, allowing you to hear people and noises from all angles and the volume on the 3.5mm jack is really handy. This way you dont have to go in to settings to change volume levels while in game.
Overall this is a really nice headset and i do highly recommend

A really nice bag for daily travels

I got this because I'm having a "Miracle baby" in December. This bag is great, looks and feels really nice and has plenty if storage. While it has all this storage the backpack is not too bulky. It also looks like a regular backpack which is nice for us guys out there.
Overall this is a really nice accessory and will be a great help when I'm out and about

When it worked it worked well
on July 21, 2018
Posted by: EnglishD
from Fairborn, OH
So let me just get this out of the way, since I deleted the old WiFi and tried to put it on my Google WiFi this has not worked. Says connection failed. I have pressed the rest pin various times and nothing, always the same result.
Now when it works it's fantastic, the 360 camera displayed a great picture and to swipe around was lag free. I was very impressed. The voice was also clear when speaking.
The alarm isn't the loudest but should deter someone from up to no good.
The app crashes a lot, I cannot access "other settings" without the app crashing.
Shame as this worked fantastic at first

Fantastic desktop replacement
on June 28, 2018
Posted by: EnglishD
from Fairborn, OH
HP and the ENVY line are known for great build quality, and good looks. This 17.3" desktop replacement is no different.
So upon opening the box you will be greeted by a rather thick piece of protective foam, under this you will find the Laptop and to the right you will have a smaller black box which contains the power cables. Its a pretty basic unboxing.
The laptop is made from aluminum and looks really nice. Along the back edge of the laptop screen it has a pattern that looks like oil slick.It looks really neat and give the laptop a break from the basic silver looks.
On the front of the laptop you dont have anything when the lid is closed, on the right side you have the fingerprint scanner for Windows Hello, you also get something you dont find often any more and thats a DVDRW drive, shame it not Blu-ray as DVD is becoming yesteryear. On the left side you get your lock, Thunderbolt port, HDMI port, combo headphone and mic port, 2 USB ports and the LAN connector. the rear of the until has nothing other than the design.
Functionality wise i love this laptop. As you open the lid the base of the laptop will elevate slightly from the back to give you a much more comfortable typing experience than just laying flat. The keyboard has a nice amount of travel with its keys and its also backlit. The mouse pointer is fast and precise and also a good size which makes it a breeze to use multi gestures.
Form is also impressive as this is a large laptop but its manageable. Weighing in at a hair under 6.5lbs while its heavy its not too heavy to use daily and move around. Whats also nice is even though it does come equipped with a DVD drive the laptop is still less than 1" thick with the lid closed, its very sleek.
The screen is nice. It's 1080P and looks really good. the screen is a glossy IPS panel and has some great viewing angles. Its also pretty bright.
Performance on this is superb. As this is the new 8th generations of the Intel Core i7 you get true quad core processing which is a big boost over the older 7th gen which were dual core still. Performance of the new quad setup is evident when using in different applications. With 12gb of DDR4 ram it helps with multi tasking and such and doesnt get bogged down at all. last night i was editing video while exporting i was also watching YouTube and clicking through 8 Chrome tabs with no issues. It will also play games on lower settings so you can play Fortnite on this system as it has the NVIDIA GeForce MX150, though it is the 2gb version and not the 4gb.
The sound from the Laptop is surprisingly good, while lacking some depth it is loud and clear, it still has some depth, just not a lot.
The system is quiet and doesnt seem to get hot at all, battery is ok, not going to blow you away by any means but is adequate. If you are looking for a portable desktop solution that you can do some light gaming on, maybe some video and photo editing and otherwise just media consumption with daily tasks then this will be perfect for you and i do highly recommend it.

Great balanced sound with good battery life
on June 19, 2018
Posted by: EnglishD
from Fairborn, OH
I really enjoy these true wireless earbuds from Jabra. The sound on these is very well balanced making them ideal for all kinds of music tastes. And the 2 year dust and sweat proof warranty is incredible.
I like the case that comes with the Jabra 65t, its pocketable, and easy to be on the go with. The case also provides another 10 hours of charge to the earbuds giving you a total time of 15 hours which is fantastic for something so small.
I love the build quality on these, though all plastic the do still feel premium and very durable.
When it comes to using the buds then this is where it all gets good. When you open the box the buds power on, ready to go, when you put them back in the box and close the lid, the buds also power off and start to charge. When listening to music and someone talks to you all you do is remove one bud and what ever you are listening to stops playing, place the bud back in and it will start playing again. Very smart indeed.
One thing i did find is that i did get ear fatigue with the 65t, i think its more to do with the shape of the bud than the tips as it seems to push on my ear.
Overall very enjoyable but not to be worn for more than a couple of hours if you do suffer from ear fatigue

These are some fantastic wireless buds
on June 4, 2018
Posted by: EnglishD
from Fairborn, OH
I`ll be honest here, I wasn't expecting much from these. I dont know why but I just had a feeling of hype over substance. That will teach me to preempt a product because these things are fantastic.
Unboxing is similar to other Sony Products in this line, minimal and what you need. Aside from the warranty leaflet and quick start guide, you also get the USB cable, extra tips, the case and the buds themselves. As mentioned above, minimal but exactly what you need.
So these are true wireless earbuds, no wire to connect each bud, just simply two in ear monitors that come in a carry case that also charges the buds when not in use.
Build quality on the earbuds in quite good, no flexing or creaks, seem really solid and are also very comfortable to wear. I dont get any ear fatigue wearing these. I wear them for a couple of hours at a time and they are so light i hardly notice them. The charge case they come with on the other hand feels somewhat flimsy. The main problem with this plastic case is the swivel lid, it feels very thin and would be quite easy to break. Maybe a flip top and hinge system would have been better for durability. This doesnt stop the case from doing its job though as it protects your buds and charges them at the same time.
Talking of charging, Sony are still using the ancient Micro USB which is a negative for me. As everything is now going USB C including Sony's own cell phones. Its about time we had everything being produced with USB C. One cable for all.
The buds hold charge for around 3 hours with ANC enabled and i would imagine a lot longer with that turned off. As mentioned i use them for a couple of hours at a time and have zero issues with life. they also charge pretty fast which is nice. The case allows you to charge the buds around 3 times holding around 9 hours of charge.
Now the best bit, the sound on these is fantastic. With a quick adjustment in the EQ i get some seriously great audio with nice highs, great low end and non muddy mids. These are the best wireless buds I've listened to and its a pure enjoyment listening to all types of music. As these are also a part of the Extra Bass family you will find that these work exceptionally well with Hip Hop, R'n'B, Dance music and things of that ilk thanks the the great lows on these.
On the right earbud you press and hold and the bring us the Google Assistant, taping this button also allows play/pause. Calls are received through only one bud being the left which takes some getting used too, but calls do come through clear and the people on the other end hear me without issue. The left bud contains the power button which also allows control of the ANC/Ambient noise.
Overall i love these, I'm super surprised at how well they sound. I'm wearing them right now while i type this up. They fit great, dont fall out, very light weight and extremely comfortable.Negatives being Micro USB, one bud calls and flimsy lid on the case.
Would i recommend them... 100%

Tap on NFC-compatible Bluetooth devices to connect and go with these Sony wireless headphones. Their noise-cancelling technology keeps you focused on your music, while their Ambient Sound Mode mixes in voices and other external sounds you need to hear. Sweat and splashes are not a problem for these water-resistant IPX4-rated Sony wireless headphones.

Solid headphones with some strange choices
on May 29, 2018
Posted by: EnglishD
from Fairborn, OH
1. Good audio quality.This is a part of Sony's Extra Bass line up,While not the usual booming bass that we know Sony provide its still there which is quite incredible as it only has a 6mm driver. Vocals come through clean and the highs are sharp. As with most Sony XB the mids suffer a little but overall a pretty good balanced sound.
2. Sony Headphones Connect app helps a lot with balancing out the audio. With preset equalizers and options for ANC It's simple to use and does what it says it will.
3. I feel the inline remote is a weakness on this device. It's big but the buttons seem small and spacing is odd. It can also be a distraction when running as you do feel it tapping you. Its a cumbersome piece that i feel is not needed in that size. It also makes the balance of the wire hang to the left and you can feel it.
3. The earbuds are comfortable once you find the right size. They may look a little odd but they fit firmly in my ears and didn't drop out while working out. They also created a good seal.
4. ANC works ok, It's nothing amazing and wont block out everything. Dont buy these expecting ANC that you get out of over ear $350 headphones as you will be disappointed. It does the job though.
Overall these are quite nice but let down by the big bulky inline remote. Battery life is pretty good with ANC turned off, turned on however pretty much cuts the life in half. They sound well and fit well and i found they didnt fall out during workouts. Calls came through clear and the people on the other end could also hear me fine. Not bad and is you are looking at something like this then they are certainly worth a try

Not feeling this one
on April 25, 2018
Posted by: EnglishD
from Fairborn, OH
First thing i would recommend is going to the store and actually putting hands on the mouse. While precision and latency are important, the actual in hand feel is equally as important and for me this mouse is kinda lacking. It has a cheap lightweight feel to it, just doesn't seem all that well made
Pros:
- The mouse has good glide.
- Three ways to connect (Cabled, 2.4 Ghz, BlueTooth)
- Good quality cable
- Look pretty cool with the RGB
Cons:
- Side buttons just dont work so great due to positioning, not easy to find at all.
- Overall feel just seemed less premium and more budget like
- Software is is terrible
- Software/firmware version I am using doesn't give any control over lights.
-Random disconnects
Overall it "Looks" nice but feels cheap, poor button placement and software that just isn't remotely good, I would give this one a miss

Surround yourself with robust audio performance in a slim package with this LG ultra-slim soundbar. Compatible with the latest LG televisions, the compact soundbar pairs seamlessly to deliver an immersive audio-visual experience. The 4K high resolution audio on this LG ultra-slim soundbar lets you hear the action in every scene.
 

Two questions: 1) Since this sound bar does not have a center speaker, how is dialogue clarity? 2) Can the subwoofer just be used occasionally; that is can it be turned off and on?

This is the main reason I love this, I have had various setups and the dialogue in action scene have sucked. This however works fantastic. And yes you can power off the sub but you can also turn the sub volume down too so you wouldn't need to power off

Is this phone only available on Verizon?

It works on any carrier, the difference between the Google supplied phone and the Verizon one is that the bootloader is locked on the Verizon version, which isnt an issue unless you like to modify your device, my Pixel XL is working just fine on T-Mobile
