The best at this price

I love Soundcore products. They offer so much in performance and features but cost a lot less than the competition and these are no different.
So the packaging is really simple, you get the buds, case, tips, cable, and paperwork, nothing fancy about it, and that's what I expected.
The earbuds themselves are really small and very comfortable. These are going to be great for people who have smaller ears. but with the right tip, they will work for anyone.
I've been getting around 7 hours of battery from the earbuds which are fantastic, especially for $50 and with the case, it totals over 30 hours which is insane in this price bracket.
When it comes to sound, dont let the small size fool you. These things are full of low end, if you like bass you will love these. The mids and highs are present too and while not quite as detailed as the ore expensive options from Soundcore, they still sound extremely good.
At this price point, I'm going to say these are as good as it gets. They punch well above the price point and you will love them.
These will make great inexpensive gifts for the holidays

Who’s in the garden? Are the kids doing their homework yet? Nest Cam is wire-free, so it goes almost anywhere, outside or in. It knows the difference between people, animals, and vehicles, so you can get the alerts that are important to you. Listen and speak through the camera right from the Google Home app. Check in anytime with 24/7 live view.* If you miss a notification, you can always go back and see what happened with 3 hours of free event video history.* And it’s easy to install yourself – no outlet or wires required. Nest Camera Battery requires the Google Home app and a Google Account – it’s not compatible with the Nest app or the home.nest.com site. *** Stand and cable sold separately

Pretty good but missing a few things

Overall this is a decent camera for the purpose.
Installation is a breeze, 2 screws and done, set up is like everything else Google, easy.
Camera quality is very good considering it's FHD and not QHD. The zoom feature works really well and can maintain good clarity. Bear in mind due to the resolution you're not going to get that super fine details like plates on cars and such but I didn't have any issues at all.
Battery seems to be fine with mine so far. It says I have a week left and has said that since install, it's been a couple if weeks now so all good.
The mic on this is one of the best I've heard on a security camera. For me this is the most impressive aspect of the unit.
The app is fine too, easy to use but is a separate app to your regular nest app. No biggie for me.
Having no local storage is a letdown considering you only get 3 hours of saved video unless you pay extra for a subscription.
No time or date overlay which I find odd for a security camera. Maybe Google can fix this with an OTA update. It has a Google logo overlay so time and date should be something simple.
Pros:
Easy set up
Good clarity
Great mic
Good battery
Easy to use

Only 3 hours if saved video which feels like an attempt by Google to make you pay for the sub service.

Similar style, Great Audio but a couple of flaws
on September 30, 2021
Posted by: EnglishD
from Fairborn, OH
So straight away i wanted to say that these are so similar in style to the previous version the QC 35II that its tough to distinguish the physical difference. Two ways you can are the USB C port and the stamped bose logo, everything else is much the same.
So first let's talk comfort. the QC range has always been really comfortable and these are no different. They are for me the most comfortable headphones I have worn. From the clamping pressure to the feel on-ear, Bose knows how to make comfortable cans.
Noise cancelling is a step up this year and it rivals the competitors. joint class-leading in my opinion and blocks out all the right noise. Transparency mode also lets in enough audio without destroying your experince.
Battery life is also improved enabling me to squeak a couple of extra hours out of them.
When it comes to the listening experience im finding them to sound a lot like the QC 35ii so dont go expecting some major upgrade in audio tuning in these. The bass is subdued so if your looking for a full bass forward experience then these may not be for you. These do however shine in music with string instruments and clear vocals. everythig is pretty detailed like they were previously.
No AptX or LDAC which is the same as previous version and thats a shame. I was hopijng for one or both to be inluded.
Some of the flaws are that you can't listen while charging, why? i have no idea.
Also, you have to have either ANC enabled or Transparency, you cantr turn them both off completely which is an annoyance.
You cant listen to these as wired over USB C neither which baffles me.
Overall much the same with some added features and better battery. If you are looking for some new improved audio then you wont find it here but these are now up to date with features and still stand tall with comfort

I love these face masks.
Face masks are not something I particularly like to wear, I'm a larger person and masks usually fail to fit correctly, and if they do they tend to be heavy and harder to breathe through.
Not with these. they have a good fir, are extremely light weight, and have a rubber seal across the bridge of the nose to stop my glasses from fogging up.
In an age where masks are more common i highly recommend trying these out

So I wanted this so I could get better audio while recording from my cellphone on the go. It seems like a great piece of kit and exactly what on the go YouTubers would need. Sadly it's not what I had hoped for.
1st is the connection. It's just not great. I've had plenty of devices connected to my S21 Ultra and had no issues but I e had many issues with this dropping connection. It's irritating to say the least.
The other issue is that the mic doesn't actually sound all that good. I'd dare say the built in mic in my phone offers a better sound which really isn't good enough for something like this.
After using it for a couple if days I decided to out it back in the box and not use it.
It's a great idea but seems to have issues in quality and if you're a blogger it something like that then you'll find this annoying.

Great for playing your Xbox One Games
on August 5, 2021
Posted by: EnglishD

If you have the new series X or S then you know that 1TB of storage isn't a lot when you consider the size of some games today. But this can be a great cost effective work around if you have a lot of previous gen games downloaded.
So to play the new Series S or X games you need the $219 SSD from Microsoft.
This is a great cost saving storage option that is way cheaper than the SSD and still allows you to play games.
This will allow you to play all your Xbox One Games from the drive. So games like Warzone, Modern Warfare, Fortnite and such will work just fine when moved over to this, and that frees up room on your built in storage for your next gen games to be played.
A good cost cutting alternative and highly recommended.

Pixel Buds A-Series bring you rich, high-quality sound for a lot less than you’d expect. Their beamforming mics help make calls crystal clear.*** The flush-to-ear design is stylish, and the stabilizer arc keeps them in place so you can wear them even during the sweatiest workout.**

Cut the right corners for a better price

The Series A are really good value. You are getting the same sound and functionality as the main Pixel buds.
They have the same instant pair feature which works extremely well with Android devices. The Pixel in particular.
You get the same excellent google assistant features too.
The corners cut are mainly wireless charging.
I really like these and at $99 I think they're terrific value

This is the biggest Bluetooth speaker I have ever owned, and wow it's awesome.
Very simple unboxing, you get the cable and some paperwork and that's about it.
The speaker itself is made from a very durable plastic with handles to move around. These handles are pretty important as the speaker weight almost 40lbs. Size wise it's around the same size as my 13 gallon trash can.
The speaker does have subtle RGB lighting, so nothing to crazy if using in your home. It can be used with the included power cable or wirelessly. I am yet to kill the battery, it seems to last and last.
The speaker has 2 subs and 3 tweeters and produces excellent audio. The lows are magnificent and they don't muddy the mids at all. The highs also come through really well with some good detailed sound.
This speaker also connects to the Sony app allowing for adjustments.
Overall this speaker is amazing. It's like having a nightclub in my backyard and my neighbors hate it lol

This is not a laptop. It’s so much more. Meet Combo Touch, the keyboard case with trackpad that enables new levels of versatility with iPad Pro. Navigate and work in apps like never before with a new click-anywhere trackpad — our largest ever* — that gives you more space and allows for Multi-Touch trackpad gestures. SMART CONNECTOR technology helps to deliver an incredibly responsive trackpad experience and also makes powering and pairing the keyboard instant. Type comfortably for hours with laptop-like backlit keys that automatically adjust to your environment. You can always see what you're typing thanks to 16 levels of brightness. Enjoy convenient access to volume controls and more with a full row of iPadOS shortcut keys. The iPad Pro meets its aesthetic match with a slim, sleek design — the thinnest keyboard case we've ever designed with a trackpad.* The elegant woven outer fabric feels as great as it looks and the case is molded to fit your iPad Pro, protecting the front, back, and corners from scrapes and bumps. Your iPad Pro is held securely in place so you can have peace of mind that it won’t slip out and focus on what matters most — getting things done. *Compared to Logitech keyboard cases with trackpad released in 2020.

A great lower cost alternative

I really like this case and keyboard combo. It provides me with what I've been looking for with an iPad, the Surface Pro style of usage.
So this is a 2 piece set consisting of the main case for the body of the iPad and a magnetically attaching keyboard. First thing i noticed is whiule it does add weight its also quite a lot lighter than the KB from Apple. The weight is further reduced when using with the KB detached. Might sound trivial, but this is a big bonus for many.
The fact the keyboard does detach is also a major win for me as i can use this in bed without having to balance the keyboard on my chest. It can be used how you would use a regular tablet.
The case is nice, its like a woven material that hides fingerprints and such. the edges are a rubber material and offer great coverage to protect the edges of your iPad in case of mishaps. the Case also has the Surface Pro Style kickstand. this is a great way to do this, I don't understand why case manufacturers don't offer this style when making cases. Props to Logi. The keyboard deck is made of the same woven material and again keeps fingerprints at bay.
On the keyboard, you get a click anywhere extra large trackpad that's great for navigating around the iPad. it also allows gestures like pich to zoom and such. One thing I will say is that it isn't super precise and I'm thinking that's more to do with the mouse pointer built into iPad OS. The keyboard is also backlit. It has the auto backlighting feature with 16 levels of brightness so you don't need to worry about having to change that so you can see better. It takes care of that by itself and works really well.
The kickstand is nice and does allow for you to lay teh ipad down at a slight angle to make it easier to draw and write.You do get a little bit of wobble but nothing that will ruin your experience.
It connects via the Smart Connector so its just plug and play. no Bluetooth pairing needed which is another neat feature.
Overall I prefer this keyboard for its multi-purpose use cases and the bonus is that it's $120 less than the Magic KB. it offers more versatility and you dont have to carry around the keyboard. Overall this is a W for Logi

We have had a traditional door bell all our lives and recently moved to a low cost one that just took stills. After using that for a few months we could see the benefit of having a camera at your door.
We were excited to receive this and installed it immediately. It's super simple to install as it's totally wireless and is rechargeable. It comes with a mounting bracket too that makes it easy.
Once installed you then install the recieved which is simple. Download the app and set up your doorbell. You can Invite other users to be able to control the doorbell, see notification and adjust the settings.
It's very responsive and you can adjust the sensitivity to what suits you regarding getting notifications.
Picture quality is great, it's easy to see text on Vans passing by and people walking by.
I love this doorbell and recommend this to everyone who's considering one of these. We will never be without one now.

Accept no VR limits with this Alienware Aurora gaming desktop. Its 2TB hard drive and 16GB of Intel Optane memory provide powerful storage performance, and its six-core Intel Core i7 processor and 16GB of RAM support bandwidth-intensive applications. The VR-ready NVIDIA GeForce GTX graphics of this liquid-cooled Alienware Aurora gaming desktop keep action-packed scenes free from screen tearing.
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

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
