An absolute beast!

This thing does anything and everything! Where to start? Well the new 6 core i7 is very powerful, paired with 16gb of ddr4 ram it flies through daily tasks with ease. Though no SSD what this does have is Intel Optane memory and let me tell you, this thing boots up close to my SSD equipped desktop plus having 2TB of storage means you get both speed and storage.
As this is an Alienware then you know it's for gaming and the Nvidia GTX 1080 does not disappoint. Providing 4k gaming through my 55" OLED LG TV with ease. Most games run at medium to high at 4k, at 1080 and 1440 you can expect we'll over 120 fps in Fortnite with Epic settings. Same with PUBG, you get a high frame count while on ultra. It's a joy to game on.
Design is nice, typical Alienware and has nice RGB lighting on both the case sides and the power button, you can also turns these off if you prefer.
It's super easy to access and everything is there easy to upgrade.
You also hear very little noise from the system thanks to awesome cooling.
If you're looking for a gaming desktop with the latest 6 core 8th gen i7 with one of the most powerful GPU's on the market then this is it. Go for it, you won't regret it!

So if you're coming from a regular toothbrush you are going to notice one thing straight away and thats just how much cleaner your teeth get with one of these. This leaves your teeth feeling extra smooth, like nothing before.
Ergonomically this is comfortable to use, doesnt cause and hand pain, and its not difficult to hold. Its really the easiest and cleanest way to brush up.
With the added timers it also lets you know just how long to brush meaning your getting it just right, not over or under doing it.
Overall a great toothbrush that exceeded expectation

Big size, big looks and big sound!

Love this speaker, as with all the XB speakers, this looks fantastic and goes a step further with the appearance as the 41 also has the drivers illuminated. Looks very very nice. The synchronization to the music from the lights is also extremely well implemented.
Some really cool features of this speaker are:
It has amazing battery life, and can even charge your phone via USB
IP67 rated for dust and water resistance
Live sound creates a 3d surround sound effect
This can connect up to 100 other XB devices including the last generation.

The speaker carries some good bass, on full volume the bass does get ramped back, but this thing does get loud. Sounds fantastic with bass heavy music and then with anything more acoustical the live sound really shows that off.
Its extremely well built just like the other XB speakers, durability wont be a factor and its also not too heavy. i was surprised at the weight when i picked this up.
Overall a good sounding speaker with some great features

Comfortable, great bass and nice sound

These are wonderful! Like most things Sony just on a visual these look great and the sound is equally as good. What i find with this set is that you get that wonder bass with Sony headsets but you also get crisp high and good mids, unlike other bass heavy headphones. the sound is really well balanced. The controls are very easy to use and are of the usual fare.
Comfort wise, i find these to be perfect for me. The band doesn't grab to tightly, and the cups fit perfectly over my ears. its a really well thought out design that suits me great.
The noise cancelling on these also works very well and as good as some higher priced headphones and noise bleed hasnt been much of an issue neither.
Overall a great wireless noise cancelling headset with comfort and good sound, i highly recommend

Sounds as good as it looks

This is the newest Bluetooth speaker from Sony and it looks fantastic. Looking a little different from its predecessor but in a good way as this is rounder and sleeker.
So, with the new XB31 you get some pretty cool features. It's IP67 rated so this will be great for taking to the beach. While its not waterproof it is waster and dust resistant. The cloth exterior when when does dry very quickly. You can connect via BT, USB or 3.5mm giving you a host of options and another neat feature is being able to pair multiple speakers for an even bigger sound.
You can use the speaker without any software if desired but to get the most out of it you will download Sony Music Center on iOS or Android. What this does is open up a plethora of options for controlling your device. Simple things like turning off the speaker from your phone is available, and sound profiles are another. You have 3 presets to choose from, the first is flat sounding, the second is the Extra Bass setting that gives more depth and the Live feature gives a surround sound effect that works quite well.
This also has the tap function, you enable this is the settings on the app. What this does is allow you to literally hit the sound bar to produce drum or percussion noises, its very unique and not something i would use but i could see younger children walking around with this making beats lol
It also comes with the light show and again this can be controlled via the settings in the app, from a strobe effect to a smooth chill effect, each one looks great and gives this unit one of the best aesthetic looks you can find on a speaker.
Overall this is a great speaker, full of sound with good deep bass. Ats one of the better at this price point and i highly recommend

Style and sound that are equally as great

The HD1 i essentially the Momentum 2.0 overseas. Its made from some pretty nice premium materials which make the HD1's very very comfortable to use. The extremely soft leather on the ear cups feels like no other headphone, its so soft and when wearing its hardly noticeable, it feels great.
The stainless steel sliders are easy enough to move and slide with a smooth motion but they're also strong enough to hold the cups in the desired location with no movement, continuing up the headband you find more soft leather. Branding is also minimal with 2 small tabs on the band with 2 small tabs for branding, its discreet and looks great.
On the inside of the bands, just above the cups it shows L+R to show the way you should be wearing these.

The HD1 are pretty easy to travel with also, thanks to the folding mechanism on the band, this allows them to neatly close up and fit inside the provided carry case, it also comes with a nice drawstring bag for extra protection. Also included are a stereo headphone cable to allow listening with your conventional 3.5mm headphone jack that manufacturers are shamelessly removing on devices. a micro USB cable for charging and an in flight adapter.
When it comes to controls you get a power button that doubles up as a pairing button, you jut hold down the power until the light starts to blink, this is now in pairing mode. You also have a slider which when pressed is a play and pause button and when slide from side to side it functions as your volume slider. All very easy to use and simple to find.
When it comes to sound, the HD1's do not disappoint. Over all genres of music from simple pop tunes to complex orchestral pieces the HD1's sound great. The high have that crispness and clarity and the bass is a smooth bass that doesn't vibrate your cranium, its more of a deep low hum and with this it doesn't mussy the details in the tracks you're listening to. The balance for me is almost perfect, they also work well with the PS4, playing Fornite i could hear all sounds in all directions in great detail.
These have always on active noise cancellation and i quite enjoy it. it works really well and blocks out most routine daily noises but also lets you hear things like sirens and such, i also don't get the feeling of pressure in my ears with the HD1's . These are quite simply the most comfortable headphones i have used.
At $500 these are not cheap and thats ok as they're not supposed to be. You get sound thats as every bit as good as they look. If you can afford these and are in the market for something like this then i highly recommend giving them a try

A fast powerful desktop missing one thing
on February 23, 2018
Posted by: EnglishD
from Fairborn, OH
I've been using this desktop for a couple of days now and its been a really pleasant experience. Once i uninstalled some of the pre-loaded software and set it up to how i like it i have been pretty happy.
This has the new Intel Optane Memory in the storage and boy does that make a difference, it speeds thing's up considerably, almost matching SSD speeds with some things, thats what makes this different to the previous model and its a welcome update. It writes and reads very fast so transferring files from my phone and tablet are super easy.
In the box you also get a wireless mouse and keyboard which is a nice touch as a lot of PC's come with standard wired accessories.
One downside which is the reason i gave it 3 stars is no dedicated GPU and at this price you would expect something. While the Intel graphics are OK, dont expect to do any real gaming on this. You do however have room to install your own GPU but may also want to look at the PSU to be sure of power requirements
Overall this is a fast and quiet desktop. It works well for editing, and 4k media, does pretty much anything you want other than gaming.

Good alternative to the more expensive products
on January 28, 2018
Posted by: EnglishD
from Fairborn, OH
This is a decent little speaker, I've used it since getting it earlier thus month and I've been pleasantly surprised. It's incredibly easy to setup and once done you open up your hone to a plethora of knowledge. Need to know the weather in Greenland, just ask and google assistant will give you precise accurate information. While not the biggest selling assistant it's certainly the best of the bunch. It hits the answers with more accuracy and the fact you can have a contextual conversation is fantastic.
Aesthetics wise it's not bad, it looks like an alarm clock, has a clear and easy to read face with time and weather, it looks quite good.
Sound wise it's not as good as hoped. It's not bad by any means but doesn't have the volume for me, but if thus is going to be next to you then that shouldn't be an issue.

It can sometimes be a little slower to respond to voice commands but that could just be an internet issue also.
Overall a really good Bluetooth speaker that not only has the excellent Google assistant but also open you up to smart home opportunities

An expensive lamp, Its nice but expensive
on December 12, 2017
Posted by: EnglishD
from Fairborn, OH
So cutting to the chase here, this is a wildly expensive lamp. While its built really well i just dont see the value. It comes with the white bulb, frosted glass shade and the base. Its all very easy to disassemble which you will do if you want to use the colored hue lights as like mentioned above it only comes with the big standard white bulb which is disappointing in a lamp at $100.
The app works well and you can set different moods, they really do work but my main gripe with this lamp is it literally can only be controlled through the Hue system or the app. Now thats not an issue when you want the thing on and once its on it is fine but you have no on or off button, you literally have to pull the cable or use the app to turn the thing on or off. That may sound trivial but when getting up for work at 6am its a pain because i have no light until i get up, walk in the dark and grab my phone off the shelf. I'm not sure as to why they felt the need to remove the power button on a $100 lamp.
So its a nice lamp with great mood features but i wouldn't recommend it unless you are already heavily invested in the Hue system

This is awesome!

from Fairborn, OH
Im a 41 year old father of three and i love love love this!
This is such a massive step up from your regular RC cars. I've not had fun like this in years.
So this is what they call a hobbiest version and by that every p[iece of teh vehicle can be replaced. Its comes with a plastic fram and bodt, the shell can be removed with 4 pins, this is how you would replace the battery. It comes with two batteries and they are simple to charge. It also comes with a battery charger that plugs in to the wall with a start/stop button. Be sure to press start when you want to charge up or nothing will happen. The remote for the car is very light and kinda cheap feeling but it gets the job done. It has a control to trim the steering to ensure everything is aligned. It also has the option to reverse the steering controls which is nice as i felt more comfortable with reverse controls.
This thing is fast and you can do donuts like nobodies business. I was taken back just how fast it actually is. It had no problem going from asphalt to grass, up grass hills and powering through leaf piles.
Its awesome, i loved it and so did my son. And look out for this on Black Friday, you wont be disappointed.

I’m interested in buying this PC as my first in a long time. Would this run over watch, Diablo 3, and World of Warcraft at max settings?
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
