VP83F LensHopper Camera Mount Condenser Shotgun Microphone with Flash Recording
Posted by: EnglishD
from Fairborn, OH
While this may seem expensive for a shotgun mic its actually not when you consider the sound quality you get from this setup. Its super simple to set up and you can be on your way in quick time.
It works so well in many different ways. One on one, run and gun, and even does well in crowds when doing a one on one recording. Overall im super impressed with thsi mic and im still learning all the features.
If you do Youtube or anything like that then this is a must buy for your Mirrorless/DSLR

Straight off the bat I wanna talk about how easy it is to use this vacuum. It's extremely light weight and easy to move around the areas. It's not something I've really noticed before with other backs but after using this it's a much easier vacuum to use.
It picks up really well. We have 2 dogs and 5 cats and this does a great job of picking up hair. It's also great at keeping these allergens in the canister and my son is allergic to cats and when he comes over he has no issues at all, with other vacs he would sometimes still get the sneezes and watery eyes.
One negative is the pet tool cannot be stored on the vac itself. While I have no problem with that I can see it being off putting for some.
The lift away feature makes it easy for wand usage and because it's so light you won't become fatigued while using it. It's a much better idea that dragging a heavy vac around to reach places.
Overall I really do like this vac, it's compact and lightweight and does a great job.

Great powerful compact gaming laptop
on April 4, 2021
Posted by: EnglishD
from Fairborn, OH
I really love this update from asus.
When it comes to the unboxing it's very basic. It's package very very well but all you get is the charger, the laptop and a user guide. Not that it matters but if you were expecting more then you should ease those expectations.
This version doesn't have the Animatrix lid, it has an iridescent panel under the holes which is a shame but it still looks good.
The typig experience is nice, I find myself being able to type faster than usual on this keyboard. It has good key spacing and nice key travel. It's also backlit.
It has windows hello and that's used via the built in fingerprint sensor on the power button, it's not the most accurate but gets the job done.
When it comes to gaming then you'll be pleased with this. The Ryzen 9 and 3060 are really powerful. I'm getting a 30-40% increase in FPS in games. Flight simulator 2020 plays in high but beware, the laptop gets really hot, to the point the FP sensor can be uncomfortable to press. Warzone is easy work for the 3060 also
Overall it's a really nice gaming laptop that's easy to travel with. The performance boost over the previous 2060 model is great.
Other than the heat I'm sure you will love this thing.

Deep. Loud. And immersive, too. The SoundLink Revolve II Bluetooth speaker delivers true 360° sound for consistent, uniform coverage. Place it in the center of the room to give everyone the same experience. Or set it near a wall and sound will radiate and reflect around the room, immersing you in that same feeling you felt at your favorite show. The tapered cylindrical shape makes this wireless speaker easy to grab and go, while a durable aluminum body provides worry-free protection. And it’s water resistant so you can keep the party going, even if it starts to rain. The rechargeable, lithium-ion battery plays up to 13 hours — for full-day listening. Voice prompts talk you through Bluetooth pairing, and there’s a built-in speakerphone for calls. Use the Bose Connect app to pair two SoundLink speakers for Stereo or Party Mode. The app also helps you manage your devices, unlock features, and access future updates. Available in Triple Black or Luxe Silver.

I expected more from this speaker
on March 24, 2021
Posted by: EnglishD
from Fairborn, OH
I really like Bose products. They make some fantastic devices with some really great sound.
I've been excited to get this as it's the first bluetooth speaker I've used by Bose, and sadly I'm not sold on it.
Presentation is great, the packaging is typical Bose and makes you feel you have a quality product. In the box you get your usual paperwork, the speaker and the USB cable. Basic but that's everything you need.
Now this biggest flaw on this speaker is how it charges. At $200 and it being 2021, Bose have used a micro USB input. I just don't understand why they would do this, especially with the premium price point. Micro USB is outdated and can be inconvenient when having to carry an extra cable because your USB C won't work. For me this is a major let down and one I really don't understand.
Build quality is very very nice. It's very solid and has a good weight about it. The base has a rubber ring on it which keeps it in place no matter how loud you listen to the speaker. On top you have your various controls that are coating in a soft touch rubber which makes it easy to hit the buttons.
The sound is just ok. I've listened to many other speakers at less than half the price of this one and find that they have better sound, a more full sound and better low end. Don't get me wrong, the sound is crisp and clear, instruments come through really well and voices are nicely separated, but considering the price, it's lacking for sure.
Overall it's a decent speaker but at the price point I think you have quite a lot of better options that offer better sound, connectivity and price.

Feel the bass in your bones with Crusher Evo — the latest advancement in the famous Skullcandy Crusher line. Patented Adjustable Sensory Bass technology is an experience that you can’t get in any other headphones. And now, you can even customize the sound to your unique hearing through a quick audio test in the Skullcandy App. So you’ll hear the music exactly the way it was meant to be heard. Critical controls — call, track change, volume, and Crusher Bass — are conveniently located with easy-to-use tactile buttons. Tile finding technology lets you “ring” your headphones if they’re ever lost or misplaced, so you’ll never return home without them. Rapid Charge capability provides 4 hours of listening time on just 10 minutes of charge, and a full charge lets you feel the music for an amazing 40 hours. Crusher Evo is also travel-ready. It folds flat to fit perfectly into the included travel case.

I've been using these for some time now and I'm quite impressed by the crusher Evo.
So first thing is packaging. It's a nice experience and we'll packaged. You get a bag to carry the headphones in when not in use as well as your charging and aux cables.
Build quality on this set is really good, up there with brands at $3-400 range. It's got a soft touch rubber feel that removes fingerprints from being a problem. The cups swivel nicely and the foam on the ear pads is plentiful. The comfort on these is too notch.
When it comes to sound then these things are quite versatile. While they do have the most earth shattering bass you can also controll it quite well with the bass slider. With that slider turned all the way up full I can literally feel my nose vibrate due to the haptics in the headset. The haptics can be a little off sometimes though. But move the slider down and you can get a decent sound with nice low end.
These also have a built in tile in case you misplaced them. This is such a great idea by Skull Candy.
Overall I have enjoyed these. They are not for the purist by any means but they are for the guys and gals that love the feel of having a night clubs strapped to your head.

Fast and easy to install

from Fairborn, OH
I highly recommend this.
It's a very fast drive with excellent read and write speeds. Very very simple to install into your PC and ready to go.
I used this as my main drive and everything booted super quick, no noises or anything. Crucial make some great drives.
I recently sold my PC and bought the insignia 2.5" enclosure and now use it as extended storage on my Xbox series X. Works absolutely fine and has good speeds still for playing Xbox one games.

Posted by: EnglishD
from Fairborn, OH
This thing is fantastic and it's made vacuuming much easier.
The setup for this is really simple and you'll be up and running in no time. Don't be put off by seeing all the parts. It's well explained and easy to do.
We have 5 cats and two dogs but we predominantly use this in the room that houses the cat tree and where we feed them. This thing does a really good job. We do have to use the max setting mostly but that's because if the amount of pets we have (we used to rescue)
Other rooms around the like our bedroom and my son's room we can use the normal setting and it does a great job.
Being cordless is so nice and it makes it much quicker and easier to vac.
I highly recommend this.

Jabra Elite 85t true wireless earbuds have been engineered for a calls and music experience like never before, with fully adjustable Jabra advanced Active Noise Cancellation™, 12mm speakers for big sound, up to 25 hours of battery (ANC on), and 6-mic technology with wind protection for amazing calls. And because it’s Jabra tech, it’s all crammed into a really tiny body. Because ANC doesn’t only stand for Active Noise Cancellation… Jabra Elite 85t: Accept No Compromise.
Posted by: EnglishD
from Fairborn, OH
I've lived the T series from Jabra. The 65 sounded good, the 75t were a massive upgrade in sound and comfort, so I have been eagerly awaiting the 85T.
The case that contains the earbuds is a little larger than previous versions. It still has lights on to let you know about the charge. The case also Qi wireless charging so you can drop these straight into a pad and they will charge.
The earbuds themselves look almost identical to the 75t with the only difference being the vents on the buds.
The app is as good as ever and now with ANC you can control the ANC and same with pass through.
Now when it comes to sound I felt really let down. They have a much larger 12mm speaker and figured these would be a massive upgrade over the 5.8mm in previous versions. As soon as I heard these they didn't have that jabra sound signature. They just sound so different. It's a flat sound with none of the booming bass from previous versions. The sound is now just average which is a shame

This is great. It saves so much time in cooking and cleaning. Its the most used item in our kitchen.
SO this has a really good size and thats really handy when feeding a family. It has a really nice finish to it and doessnt look like plastic lump sat in your kitchen.
Its super easy to use with multiple functions like roast, dehydrate, reheat, pizza, broil, bake and keep warm in addition to airfry. We have made all kinds in this and it comes out great every single time. Its also fantadtic for keeping pizza warm or reheating. Much better than the Microwave. We eat a lot of pizza so i love this.
When it comes to cleaning this is simple. The basket and the tray are all you need to worry about. No little parts or anything like that. Super simple.
The exterior been stainless is also nice as it makes wiping down very easy.
Overall we love this. As mentioned its the most used item in our kitchen and if you're a pizza family like us then you`ll love this too

Better than the Apple Pencil
on October 12, 2020
Posted by: EnglishD
from Fairborn, OH
I love this pencil. It works so well with my 12.9 iPad Pro. But you get a bonus with this one. It will also work on the 6th gen iPad. Now you may be wondering why that's a bonus? Well it's because on the first generation apple pencil worth with the 6th, 7th and 8th gen lower cost iPads and the more expensive apple pencil 2 is exclusive to the 2018 and 2020 iPad. Basically this is a pencil for all pen supported iPads and it's only $69.99.
The design is nice and is very nice to use. It's similar to the apple counterpart when using. It's also great for matching colors with the space grey products.
The pen also magnetizes like the more expensive pencil to the iPad
The pencil has a power on button which displays a white light when powered on and charges via USB. The tips are also replaceable and this does come with a spare in the box.
No lag is present and all the new iOS 14 features like writing in the address bar and scribble.
Overall I love this from Zagg. They mailed it here and it's what you should look at when choosing a stylus for your iPad.

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

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
