When they work they're great
on September 27, 2020
Posted by: EnglishD
from Dayton, OH
I've been using another makers headset for sometime now and have been generally happy. I figured as I'm getting the new xbox I'll grab these.
Now when they work these things sound fantastic. They are a little tight with the clamping force bit they let up after a couple of days. I don't get sweaty ears at all with these or fatigue. They are a really nice headset apart from the fact they don't always work.
As I sit here typing this with my headset on while the Warzone menu music plays the sound crackles, pops and cuts in and out. It does this far more often than not. I think I've only managed one game with this headset with no sound issues.
I went to the website hoping for a firmware update but nothing, these are up to date.
And for context, I'm sat about 2 feet away from my One X
If these didn't have the issues they do it would be a definite 5 star but seeing as the audio is pretty important I'm going for 2 stars as when they work they are excellent.
Such a shame but not worth the risk

Quality earbuds that ANC don't break the bank

Jlab have done an excellent job of the Epic Air ANC
What do you get in the box?
The Epic Air ANC buds and box
Easy to follow guide

Easy to follow guide
5 extra ear tips that include foam tips
Everything you need to get started and find that perfect fit.
The design on the Epic Air ANC Is very much like the Air Executive which I suppose is to be expected as they are in the same product line. This isn't a bad thing as these buds look good and feel well built. They are lightweight so ear fatigue ist an issue. The pair I got are black with the company logo on the buds. its nothing garish and typical JLab branding. Also, another win is the use of matte black so you dont see smudges and fingerprints.
The case is also nice and has like a leather lid that pops open with ease and closes with ease also. You will find the USB cable already built into the box for charging which is something I wish it didn't have and would let me choose to a cable I wanted to due to the short length. The addition of wireless charging does help with this.
The controls are touch and work just fine. They do everything you would need including volume controls. That is usually a big miss on touch controls but thankfully JLab got it right here.
Battery life on these is awesome. Up to 8 hours with ANC on! That's fantastic as ANC in other buds can halve the usual time you would get. With ANC off you get up to 12 hours. A total of 48 hours when including the case.
Sound-wise they're decent. not the best but also acceptable at this price point. Sound separation is good, the bass is decent and highs come through and the mids are kinda just there. The sound quality is above average for me.
Anc works well. It's not the best but it does help in cutting out some of the sounds around you. Again at $99, it's acceptable. The awareness feature works great by amplifying the noises around you without degrading the music. It's one of my favorite features.
Overall if you need active noise cancelling and great battery then the Epic Air ANC is for you.

Good product but not for bigger people
on September 11, 2020
Posted by: EnglishD
from Fairborn, OH
These things are just cool. They look great, they work great and sound decent too, unless you are a bigger person.
So the packaging is really nice, and the glasses come in there own case for safety.
For setup it's easy. Download the app, connect the glasses to your device with bluetooth and then go from there. The app is easy to use and pairing is simple.
The frames seem to have a good quality about them and don't feel cheap. They're also lightweight which is great. Heavy glasses are no fun, especially for extended periods.
You can listen to music and take calls with these. It's weird how they work but they do, you can hear all the audio without an earbud. At the same time you can hear what's around you so you can have a conversation, listen out for a call etc etc.
The arms are thicker than normal glasses but they don't look bad at all. They need space for the speakers and such and this is really the only way this could happen.
They come with polarized lenses that block out 99% if UV rays and they can also be fitted with prescription lenses.
When it comes to charging Bose use a pogo pin connector, I would have loved this to be USB C. And battery in these is upto 8 hours listening time but I've not work them for that long in one session.
Now if you're a bigger guy or gal like me you may have an issue with the one size fits all. I find them to be very tight and the sound though clear just didn't get loud enough as if the speakers are not seated to my head. I also had no lows. My wife used and said they sounded good and we're plenty loud so I'm putting it down to having a large melon.
Overall if you're not a bigger person then these would be great, especially if you're out working in places like florida and such. But if you are bigger then beware that these might not work as well.

This is a great beginner camcorder.
The camcorder itself is quite compact. I was expecting something larger and was pleasantly pleased. ergonomically its also easy to use and lightweight so fatigue isn't an issue.
When it comes to using i found the battery life to be really good and didnt worry at all when using it that it would die on me.
ANother thing i like is being alboe to connect my external mic. The sound thats recorded via the camcorder without a mic is pretty good but i found with a lav mic that really ups the quality.
When filming i found this to do a really good job in daylight. Great details, nice nad sharp picture. It also does ok in low light situations. i have seen worse.
You can also take pictures with this camera that are perfectly acceptable. I like that you can do this. it makes it an all in one device.
When it comes to unboxing its a basic experience with just the necessities and that's about it.
The imaging app you can use on your phone makes it so simple to take your media from your device. Its quick, easy, and simple.
Overall this is a great camcorder that offers lots of features and a crisp 4K video. Photos are also pretty good.
Highly recommened if you are in the market for a 4k camcorder

The Best Mouse Is Now The Best Mouse For The Mac!
on July 10, 2020
Posted by: EnglishD
from Fairborn, OH
This mouse is awesome.
Why is it so awesome? Ergonomically it's great. I get no aches or pains at all using this device, It just feels so comfortable no matter how long i use it.
It has all the customization to make your computing easier. As it's for the Mac line you can doanload profiles. I use Final Cut Pro X a lot and downloaded the profile for this on to the mouse. It's wonderful as I have shortcuts direct on the mouse.
You can also use this with the iPad. Now iPad OS has mouse support this takes using the iPad to another level in laptop replacement.
I use this device on the 16" Macbook Pro and the 2020 12.9" iPad Pro and it works flawlessly on both.
There is a reason many people swear by the MX Master range and its because this is hands down the best mouse available.

A real "TRUE" Wireless system
on June 24, 2020
Posted by: EnglishD
from Fairborn, OH
I've been excited to get this and I set it up the moment it arrived at my door. Let me just say, if you have this shipped it weighs just shy of 60lbs and comes in a box about 5 feet tall so some people may need assistance getting this into the home.
So about the Bar 9.1. This really does have truly wireless rear speakers. Most surround sound systems I've used say wireless but they're not really as the rear speakers have a wire between them. Not the JBL Bar, this has real, no wires connected speakers. And it's just so much more convenient. They are also pretty light and super easy to move them around to suit your needs. The speakers magnetically connect to the soundbar itself and this charges them also. and when you are ready to go full surround you just pull them from the soundbar. It's a fantastic design. And you can also USB power the speakers but then, of course, they're no longer wireless.
The sound on this set is fantastic and it has a great set up, not only do you get left and right channels but you also get height channels too. This gives an excellent surround sound experience and with Dolby Atmos and DTS:X, you get to hear everything. It fills my living room with sound ever so easy and would work great in a much larger space than I have. We watched the Dark Knight and the sound from the 4k player is awesome and adds to the immersiveness.
It's easy to set up and the sub is substantial but it provides quality lows. This also has an awesome feature that auto-calibrates the audio to the room it's in for peak performance. When it comes to settings this is super simple and maybe a little too simple for some as you have your basic features only like volume and bass, Atmos buttons, and rear speakers controls. Nothing really to tweak here so maybe this isn't for the audiophile.
Overall this is a great package that offers true wireless speaker setup with a very clean, clear detailed sound that's easy to use and set-up. Im happy with this and would recommend to anyone looking for a good wireless system

The best just got better
on June 16, 2020
Posted by: EnglishD
from Fairborn, OH
I've had every generation of the CB3 line and I have loved them all. My fave has been the XB31 but that changed.
The XB33 goes for a design refresh which I actually like a lot. This year the unit has a more of a flat top panel and face and has 2 bass radiators on the side. It looks good!
It comes with an IP67 rating which is great for beach and pool use. The 6 stands for dust resistance and the 7 being water resistance. It not waterproof, its water-resistant. A lot of people say proof at this rating but it's not.
It pairs to the Sony app like previous additions that lets you control the lighting effects, it also has a battery saving mode in the app which is called stamina mode. This allows for longer usage and a nice feature.
The sound quality on this is a bigger jump this year from previous years I have found. The lows come through much more in this year's speaker and its a very dynamic sound. Your hip hop, edm and anything bass heavy sounds really good. Like most speakers though at full volume it does cut back some on the bass.
Overall this is my new favorite speaker, Looks better than the previous gen, sounds better than the previous gen and just overall a good upgrade

This eufy smart floodlight camera offers the option to livestream HD video from your smartphone, and two-way audio communication lets you interact with visitors from afar.
Posted by: EnglishD
from Fairborn, OH
Knowing Eufy are a part of the Anker series I knew this would be a great device.
So the packaging it arrives in is nice, everything packed safely and and all paperwork to get this to work was present.
I had an electrician install this and he said that he loved this system when it came to installing as these have a plug connected via wirenuts which makes setting this up much easier. We were able to set the camera up in the house before he installed it. He had it installed in no time.
It was easy to connect to the app and the app allows you to change the field of view. It’s great!
The floodlight also has a very loud alarm which is a great feature to scare away unwanted guests who are up to no good.
The lights on this thing are exceptionally bright. And this is why it can record at night. These lights really do light my front yard up.
Another thing I love about this is the fact it has on board recording. A lot of cameras have a subscription based approach that you pay a monthly fee for.
Overall this is a great security feature. It illuminates my yard so well and the picture is pretty clear thanks to the 1080P camera. It’s easy to set up and the app is easy to use. Highly recommended

Great for live streaming
on February 23, 2020
Posted by: EnglishD
from Fairborn, OH
I used this for my weekly tech live stream on YouTube and it works great.
I have the best picture and motion when it comes to the live stream. The auto focus is 2nd to none. I have tried with objets in the background to see if it locks on to those, but noway! It sticks on me throughout
This also uses USB C so it's awesome the I don't need any adapter to use it n my MacBook Pro. It makes this so much more convenient.
The mic on this is pretty good also, I normally use a dedicated mic for my video reviews and streams, but I can use the mic on this camera and still get very good audio on my streams.
Overall I'm extremely impressed with this camera, it can shoot in vertical also which is a nice touch. It also comes with a really well built mini tripod.
If you use a webcam a lot, or do live streams, or even just a lot of talking head video, then this excellent for that.
Very impressed

I love this mic!
It's made the audio on my YouTube channel much better.
It's well built, has a lot of weight, so you can be sure it's going to sit still. It picks up my voice so clearly from around 5ft away. It's been a game changer for me.
I use this with my Canon M50, it's a simple setup. I use the 3.5mm port from the camera to the mic and I use the USB on my iMac as the power source. It works great for streaming, podcasts or anything else that requires audio.
Highly recommend for a simple yet great sounding setup.

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
