One of Best Portable Speakers Ever
on October 15, 2017
Posted by: RalphHenry
from Raleigh, NC
The pure sound, extremely rugged build and ease of use provide a super portable speaker. This speaker has all the required controls in a simple array. I paired it easily with my phone and also my desktop, no re-pairing or second tries, it just pairs right immediately - that's a really nice reflection of the electronics. You also have an auxiliary input so you can attach directly to your device if desired. I actually had a small fender modelling amp which can run through a PC and you can use Fender Fuse software to add effects - I say this because I wanted to see how the effects would sound by playing a guitar through the Fender amp and then feeding the AUX output on the amp to the Audio Pro speaker. The amp is only 5 watts but now I have a 25 RMS watt system and both can function off batteries nice. By the way RMS means 'root mean square' so when a manufacturer uses this it's important because many manufacturers will use peak watts and it sounds like more. So this is a good manufacturer because they could have listed 35 peak watts if they chose to. One problem with guitar amps is that you can have a little noise sometimes and this test showed that the sound through the Audio Pro would remain pure over quite a lot of string banging. So I do recommend this little marvel highly, it's not cheap but it is worth it for the pure sound and portability.

Smart Design Food Processor
on October 12, 2017
Posted by: RalphHenry
from Raleigh, NC
The Ninja - Precision Processor is designed for power and ease of use. Those are my top two requirements. It has the kind of power that prevents bogging down and I tried items like potatoes and it spiralized the potato like it was cotton candy. This unit functions as a normal food processor making smoothies or chopping up nuts or even kneading bread (and comes with the kneading blade). But it also spiralizes. It comes with two spiralizing blades: Spaghetti and Fettuccini; you can buy additional blades. I did cucumbers, onions, potatoes and others. It really worked great. It turns them into coiled pieces and you can easily then make a cucumber salad etc. One thing my wife did was to spiralize a potato and then an onion and fried them up together and for us that was a meal and the taste was wonderful. I did notice that the construction makes it simple and intuitive to use this device. I have an old food processor and it has too many parts and doesn't work as well as this new design. Cleaning up was easy since there are no spots where food can hide in the various parts - nice. I would definitely recommend this if you are looking for a machine to make delicious smoothies or to make things like hashed brown potatoes and many other tasty items. It does come with instructions that are quite usable and a very nice recipe book.

Beautiful IPS Monitor
on October 11, 2017
Posted by: RalphHenry
from Raleigh, NC
This 23" monitor is beautiful especially at the price point. I've got several monitors and this one is almost as sharp and colorful as the more expensive ones. Another characteristic is it is so light. It is easy to move and that brings it into play as a second monitor. It does not have speakers and has VGA and HDMI input. It is IPS and I noticed that it has an excellent viewing angle just as advertised. I gave it a test with a Dell desktop with Windows 10 and the colors were bright and exact. I like to test by doing things that are 'normal'. I use the Chrome browser type in 'limes' then select images. Repeated with the words lemon, apple, color spectrum. The colors were very nice and correct. I attached this monitor also to a laptop and tested that it could act as a second monitor - that went fine. It does have the normal adjustments underneath the right-side bottom-edge. I also verified that text in various fonts displayed perfectly. I would recommend this monitor as a solid, bright, light-weight and economical choice. Really quite nice.

Powerful, Fast Large Screen ChromeBook
on October 6, 2017
Posted by: RalphHenry
from Raleigh, NC
This Acer Chromebook 15 sits right in the sweet spot of Chromebooks I think. It does not have a high end Intel processor but does have a nice Intel quad core processor which provides plenty of juice for a Chromebook. Also it has 4GB memory, 32 GB of eMMC storage - this is a little slower than SSD but faster than HDD. It also has a beautiful touchscreen. After testing all the features I feel that Acer came up with a great combination of power, speed, function and price point. If you like Chromebooks already, you will love this one. It is solid and the battery life is super, partly because of the low power needs of the processor and also because Chromebooks typically use less power.
If you are a Windows or Mac user, you most likely (unless you've got a souped up Gamer machine) won’t see a degradation of speed since this type of OS is simplified on purpose and therefore doesn’t always have all the bells and whistles.
I did notice that many things missing in earlier Chromebooks are now easy to find like the battery level indicator. I also liked that it has a USB-C port on either side and you can plug the power supply into either side – now that is nice design. You even get a backlit keyboard which is great on airplanes and I think I will always want this feature. Also there is a useful micro SD card slot, a USB3.0 and a headphone jack. The speakers are top facing and have very nice sound. They also stuck in Intel HD graphics and a HD wide angle webcam – amazing total package.
I did notice that an oddball type mouse (Brookstone scanner mouse) gave the OS fits i.e. mouse cursor disappeared, but a ‘normal’ mouse worked fine. Also the touchpad has smooth feel and has multiple finger gestures – nice.
The WiFi is 802.11 AC dual band, so this is great to see that Acer did not cut corners here; also it has Bluetooth.
The Chrome OS is solid and there are lots of apps. You can download additional Microsoft Office like tools, however I found them to be overdone for what you need. What you need in this area is quite nicely filled for free with Google Docs including spreadsheet, word processor and chart maker. All of these programs are simple to use but have quite a bit of useful features – I loved them. I have used Lotus Smartsuite, Open Office, Libre, MS Office and others; and I prefer the Google Docs tools, except for Excel.
You might like apps like Google Play Music, Pandora, etc. Everything installed fine – no glitches. I loaded a Personal Finance app and plan to use only the Chromebook for finance stuff and keep it off my Windows PC’s. You don’t need an antivirus program for Chromebooks it is built in – nice and saves on maintenance costs. If you want to dig into things like CROSH you can, and there are developer tools. CROSH is a shell environment that is provided with Chrome OS. It is kind of like MS DOS and allows users to run commands directly from Chromeos. People who like Linux will like it I think.
If you open a Chrome browser and click on the upper right menu bars, you can get to a lot of tools and settings and you may not expect some were there like Task Manager and turning Bluetooth off and on etc. I like Task Manager and you can pin it to your menu bar -
sometimes if you are goofing around it is good to end programs. Also if you are new to ChromeBooks; you’ll want to get familiar with and use Google Drive and basically you have a machine that is thrifty to buy, thrifty to maintain and gets the job done. I love this not so little at 15.6 touchscreen and recommend it highly as your first Chromebook or as a step up. It’s also kind of fun to play with.

Marvelous, Bright, True Color Projector
on October 3, 2017
Posted by: RalphHenry
from Raleigh, NC
The EX9210 is a top of the line business projector. It is very bright and easy to use because of the brains in the unit itself and the available apps. It comes with a USB, VGA and power cables and also a wireless USB key. It may have been better to build in the wireless function. The remote is super useful and I found myself using it more than than even touching the projector including power off/on. It has an easily extendable foot to allow the user to raise the projector without putting a book or something under the projector. The Quick Guide that comes with the projector is probably all you need to use all the functions. However there are extensive manuals to download if you like all the details – beautiful documentation.
It automatically corrects trapezoid effect, but it does have an adjustment in case your source has too great of an effect. You can also focus and zoom via mechanical or via the remote.
The image in a bright room is perfect but there are many adjustments to enhance the image for any lighting environment.
I ran it from a laptop with USB and HDMI. I thought the HDMI handled short videos better but either is great for Powerpoint presentations. I also tried a USB directly attached to the projector and the photos came up brilliant - wow. It also has features like slideshow so you don't need to forward from photo to photo.
The GUI interface by selecting Menu from the remote or the projector buttons is well thought out and effective. I was able to set the networking parameters easily for either Direct Connection or via a WiFi router. One thing I found especially useful is that you can reset the configuration via selection on the menu. This was useful if I wanted to change modes or just entered the WiFi password wrong for example and just wanted to start over fresh. You will want to download the Epson iProjection app both to your phone and to in my case a Windows PC. Apple products and even Chromebooks are also supported. Another option is MHL(Mobile High-Definition Link ) for your connection. Some folks will like to use this special cable (not included, but costs under $20) that can be used to make a direct wire link from your tablet or smartphone to the projector – neat. This is not exactly new but is useful in that you can also use this cable to connect to some TV’s and can provide resolution at 4K Ultra HD (and above). So I plan to get the cable for both the projector, my TV and my smartphone. I think this also makes your security better and also it may ensure no snags for an important presentation since you simply have a wire to the projector – so I like this added feature.
I tried the phone first and it was very simple to connect to the projector. A very nice feature is the ability to connect via a QR code. You should do the Network setting to allow Quick Connection. When the code comes up via the projected image, just go to the Epson iProjection app and select Read QR Code. Boom and point your phnoe to the screen, you are magivally connected to the projector and can view your photos or even mirror the phone on the projector – you don’t need a LAN this is a direct connect to the projector which is more secure if needed. I also tested by installing the Epson iProjection app on a desktop. Also terrific and easy to use. Now in this case you would go back to the projector menu as shown in the quick start guide and configure the wireless (remember you do have to have the wireless USB key plugged into the projector as before) to your WiFi connection. Run the Epson iProjection app on your desktop and for example select yourself as moderator and now you can send photos or presentations etc. to the projector from this source.
This projector is not DLP it uses the much brighter and better color matching due to its 3LCD technology – wonderful. It is also full high definition.
I really loved this projector which does come also with a great protective carrying case. It is much brighter and more versatile than any I have used in the past for presentations and short videos. I highly recommend this solid built, well designed projector.

Technology at Top of Game
on September 26, 2017
Posted by: RalphHenry
from Raleigh, NC
This WRT32X Gaming Router has firmware that prioritizes your gaming data flow ahead of all other data streams that the network is handling. First thing you will see when you un-box this device is in fact the nice visual appeal. All black with blue LED’s and it has four adjustable antennas. It does support dual band 2.4 GHZ and 5.0 GHZ. It is specifically for gamers and promises to reduce lag, reduce ping and prioritize gaming; more about these later.
The router uses KILLER software (this is the software that analyzes your traffic to prioritize gaming-related network activity). If you are not interested in gaming, this router is probably not for you, but if you are, you will find it is going to provide a better gaming experience; not by cobbled together hardware and software but by three things primarily a) the aforementioned priority ranking b) a customizable GUI and c) the integration of components from the Linksys folks with the KILLER engine from Rivet.
This is for console-gaming and PC-gaming. This is the first router ever that actually has the KILLER priority engine that prioritizes gaming first. It provides customized gaming GUI so that you can specify how to handle the traffic. This router talks to the Killer Networking chipset and is not just a fancy looking box. In online multiplayer video games, ping is the latency between you and the game server wherever it is. One key claim is that this engine will reduce ‘ping’ by 77%. It did reduce ping as reported by ‘speed-tests’ and I did experience less lag when using this router versus my old (non-gamer) router. So the claim did prove valid. This should be a quantum leap in your gaming experience. I know that gamers are always looking for another improvement whether it is processors or graphics cards and now this: integrated router/KILLER priority engine. Linksys has pulled off a coup here.
Router setup is very simple just like you are used to with Linksys products. There is a ‘Quick Start Guide’, very well written and illustrated if you need it. I did not need any help for set up but I expect Linksys continues to have super support as I have used their support on other products and their website and help is first rate.
You can see on the box the priority of various types of network demand. This router can distinguish the types of demand and prioritizes them in a specific order with the gaming functions as number 1 – amazing. I can tell you that this is a superstar router in your home for normal functions when not playing games. Indeed against my current NetGear Nighthawk X6 it proved faster and this included faster in devices that were near or farther away, in each case the testing showed the WRT32X provided improvements using two different well-known speed-tests. I chose to play a game via servers in US and in the UK and the lag was non-existent.
I would recommend this product for gamers and actually for other folks in their own home network. It is fast with very wide coverage area to my basement and also to my third floor attic. The router was on the second floor. Truly an aggressive move by Linksys to win in the marketplace.

Gets Up More Pet Hair Than Others
on September 23, 2017
Posted by: RalphHenry
from Raleigh, NC
The assembly was easy and the engineers at Bissel did such a good job that as you put the unit together or take it apart the procedures are intuitive and it seems the parts kind of plug themselves back together as you position them - I like that. I did call Bissel on one point and I found their support is great, this is not a brand where you have difficulties getting help. The problem had to do with an optional filter that has built in Febreze scent and I simply had a question on its availability - they said soon and then offered me the part free - wonderful.
I had vacuumed my living room with an expensive German vacuum (about 3 times the cost of this unit), and I went over the same area and wow, this vacuum pulled up more of my pet rat terrier/chihuahua’s hair. No doubt this vacuum did a better job. If you move from carpet to wood floors you can flip a switch to turn off the brush and use only vacuum power – nice. There is a knob that might confuse some, it opens the vacuum a little so that when you are in carpet you may want less vacuum or less vacuum when doing drapes, but you close it to get full vacuum for wood floors. I’ve seen the feature on other vacuums and it can be useful – for example on my basement indoor/outdoor carpet I used full power just like a wood floor, but a heavy knap you may not need the full power of the vacuum. This unit also has headlights which are getting scarce, another nice feature.
You do get attachments included with this vacuum. This vacuum has an important capability in that the power unit with canister lifts off the base. Now you can clean drapes or furniture or reach up to cobwebs in the ceiling very easily. It includes a small brush to put on the end of the hose or a nozzle for tight areas – and here’s a nice first, the nozzle has an LED light and when you attach it, the LED is switched on and now you can see in those dark corners. There is also an attachment that is a little turbo brush that when you have the power unit lifted off, you can attach and it does a super great job on sofa cushions since the brush now spins to add that factor to the vacuum power.
I’m kind of a vacuum nut and I have several – this one is the best. I was impressed with the quality of this unit and Bissel was not kidding when they called it the Pet Hair Eraser. It’s now my go to vacuum for all types of cleaning.

Brilliant Engineering Yields Mouse Plus
on September 22, 2017
Posted by: RalphHenry
from Raleigh, NC
This product seems to be the result of using the best of many years of variations on the ‘mouse’, and it is fantastic. The first thing you notice is that the mouse fits your hand so comfortably because of its shape. This comfort is enhanced by how it tilts and this tilt can be varied by adding an included ‘hinge’ component. My wife is having trouble with trigger finger and a sore wrist and I tried different tilt angles with her and she loved the comfort when I added the ‘hinge’ to achieve just the right angle for her to rest her hand on the device – great.
You do have the normal left/right click pads and scroll up/down and the scroller also tilts to achieve left/right movement. The device pairs easily with Bluetooth or using an included dongle USB key. It will pair with two computers and there is a button on the top of the mouse to select which computer to connect with. You also have the forward/back buttons used for example to go back and forth between selected web pages etc. A feature that is really useful if you aren’t used to a trackball is the ‘Precision Mode’ button which varies the speed of the cursor right from the mouse – that is of super great value so you can fine tune the speed of the cursor while you work. It gives you a chance to get used to a trackball which many folks including me feel is much better than sliding a mouse around.
This mouse is rechargeable via the included cable and one minute of charging will permit a day of use; and I verified that claim – wonderful.

I was very impressed with this product and did look to additional features that you can use if you are more inclined to program the buttons in various ways for particular applications. You would need to download added software called Logitech Flow Control. I did look around the website and it is absolutely first rate. Items are easy to find and well explained. You might for example want to program the buttons to do play/pause or brightness up/down et al. Many folks will love all these optional settings.
I loved the feel of this mouse and quite honestly my wife really really loved the ergonomics of this mouse and already it appears her sensitive hand is doing better after just a couple days off the old standard mouse and using this very well designed and super functional product. Tip of the cap to the engineers.
You do have the normal left/right click pads and scroll up/down and the scroller also tilts to achieve left/right movement. The device pairs easily with Bluetooth or using an included dongle USB key. It will pair with two computers and there is a button on the top of the mouse to select which computer to connect with. You also have the forward/back buttons used for example to go back and forth between selected web pages etc. A feature that is really useful if you aren’t used to a trackball is the ‘Precision Mode’ button which varies the speed of the cursor right from the mouse – that is of super great value so you can fine tune the speed of the cursor while you work. It gives you a chance to get used to a trackball which many folks including me feel is much better than sliding a mouse around.

Time Saving with SPEED
on September 12, 2017
Posted by: RalphHenry
from Raleigh, NC
This scanner is super-fast. If you have a small business this is the scanner you want. You can scan multiple pages and double-sided pages. You can also scan driver license or credit cards. You do need to flip a switch to enable scanning of small plastic cards or thicker items such as envelopes or folded sheets (for folded sheets you must have the open end facing up, I found this out the hard way, it did not jam but it did bend the papers). There is a very nice user document you can download – 98 pages and provides you easy directions to take advantage of this scanners features.
I can also recommend this unit for those who may not have a small business but do scan in a number of items. In my case I found that scanning my medical bills and medical premium sheets was great and took a fraction of the time using an all-in-one printer to do the scans – the speed was much appreciated. Basically, the documents shoot through this scanner in less than a second – it’s a blur but the scans are perfect – wonderful.
You can even vary things like how fast the scanner will turn off when not in use for say x minutes. The scans are great, easily viewable and you can vary the DPI. It can also skip blank pages. All selectable resolutions produced legible scans, color and black and white. The design and functionality are top notch and this unit is solid and well built.
I had hoped it had network connectivity but it does not. You can however purchase a networking option which includes a small LCD panel and additional switches, but I did not get this option, the referenced user guide does provide some information on this option.
There are customary options for naming files and creating jobs. Also, I tested the skip blank page option and it worked great. Options also include ways to enhance text or color. The basic adjustments do work fine, but it was fun and easy to alter adjustments.
In summary, the speed and accuracy of this scanner makes it stand out. As mentioned above, small businesses will love this machine and even for personal use it is really appreciated for its speed. What took me 10-15 minutes to do before with medical bills and other scans, now takes under 2 minutes to do all my scanning – terrific.

Boosted Cell Phone Signal Nicely
on September 3, 2017
Posted by: RalphHenry
from Raleigh, NC
Good news is that this device worked as designed and did boost the cell phone connectivity for much clearer calls and more bars when in weak areas. I found the build quality to be absolutely top notch. The connectors were very well made and ensured solid connections between the various components. The components were rugged and very functional.
The directions to hook the system up were well written with graphics that made it easy to install. You do have to put the antenna on top of your vehicle and it attaches magnetically so no need to drill holes of course. One concern is that you run the antenna wire into the vehicle through any of several openings but the wire is then subject to some pressures when you close the door or latch. Also the instructions advise you to remove the antenna when you go through a car wash but you can’t do that to avoid a thunderstorm. It’s not a problem removing the antenna and tossing it inside the vehicle, but would be a step a lot of people will ignore. If you are handier you will probably opt to bring the wire in through the firewall or other means so as to remove the exposure of the wire to being flexed when closing the hatchback or a door and would also remove the rain/car-wash exposure. All that being said, I don’t think there will be excessive wear on the cable since you do have rubber moldings in the doors or hatch to absorb the stress on the cable and indeed it seemed water tight anyway.
I did test the function in weak cell tower areas and the bottom line is that this device improved both the number of bars and the quality of the voice communication when making a call. I did find that in areas with no nearby (albeit) somewhat distant cell tower access, that the device was not able to reach out to those distant cell towers – so there was no improvement in these dead zone situations. It figures that a 32 times improvement is zero if the signal to be amplified is zero. However I did deduct one star since I had hoped that peripheral areas that were just barely outside the cell tower coverage would gain cell phone access but I did not find this. I’m sure there will be boundary limitations with any device. However this device is lower cost than others from the same brand and I suspect you would find the more costly devices would perform better in 'dead-zone' areas.
I did find that the number of bars increased 1 or two bars and even 3 bars in some areas. The manufacturer indicated to go by sound quality versus bars, but I found a direct correlation where more bars appearing when I turned the unit on and got better voice quality as well. By the way a very nice feature though small is that a small light is lit on the cell phone holder when power is connected.
The resulting better clarity on conversations was the difference between a call where some words were missed to a situation of perfect clarity. So I do recommend this product for nearly all situations.

4 out of 5physically shake the laptop? Warning
By Kevin
After looking for a powerful engineering laptop to meet my need, this Dell product is a great one. Design is great, sleek, and powerful. Has windows hello, hd screen and a 2 in 1. However it only has 2 USB ports. I wish dell would added more ports. Fast boot up with ssd, and a good backlight keyboard. However after a week of use, when I would hold the laptop and walk you could here a sound. Now this is when it is off. It seems that something is moving inside or it could be from the manufacture. So I returned it and sought to get the replacement. They opened the replacement and when they shaked it the same sound came from it. The best buy rep seemed to say its nothing and it does not matter where I presented this laptop to a computer engineer at my school, who told be its should not be doing that. Now the one on display did not have the defect. But it is amazing that a laptop of this power has this defect. So to wrap up, if you want to buy this laptop make sure to shake it. Seems weird but you don't want to end up loosing your money

Can Expand Number of USB Ports
February 10, 2017
As you say it has only one 2.0 and only one 3.0 USB port, but this is easily mitigated. For about $20 you can purchase a 4 port USB hub for when you may need added ports. You won't notice any speed difference. Here's one at BBuy: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/insignia-4-port-usb-3-0-hub-black/4333600.p?skuId=4333600 PS: My unit does not make any noise when you shake it, and unless it needs to turn on the fan it has zero noise in operation. I did the fan and it is noticeable but that's good since it is being turned on to ensure cooling.

Passport® mini offers convenient amplification for any instrument or microphone. It's perfect for performances by street musicians and students, as well as a basic public address system for events and presentations. It goes anywhere thanks to its dual AC- or Battery-powered capabilities. It can even be used as a music media playback system or computer recording interface.

5 out of 5Great Little Amp & PC Software
By RalphHenry
from Raleigh, NC
This amp is tremendous. No hum and lots of adjustments that at first seem over whelming, but then you catch on and it is reasonably simply to operate. The Fender Fuse software is great. I played around and could hear the difference easily as I changed presets and effects. It is not powerful, but it does have 7 watts RMS, fine for in the house. The software is cool, anything you change on the computer changes the adjustments in the little amp flawlessly. First thing I did was follow the instructions to upgrade the firmware to pick up any fixes or enhancements. Then you just have a ball playing around. It does have a vocal and instrument channel as well as an IPOD or other input. I ran it on batteries as well as AC with the included adapter. It also includes your USB cable to connect to the computer. I'm not an expert so this helps me learn about a lot of effects and styles by letting you hear the differences. GREAT. If you are an experienced guitar player, you will probably have other amps but this one may be nice to practice and learn with.

Got Another One
February 16, 2017
I gave the first one to my Uncle. I got another one used from a friend that did not work. However it appears that only a loose wire was the cause so it is now fixed. Also did not work on battery power, but I found that the spring contacts for the batteries were smashed down and didn't actually make contact. Once I pulled the contacts out the unit began to work on battery power as well as AC. So if you find a unit not working on battery power check the contacts.

2 out of 5Sadly, Very disappointed with this cleaner
By Laddie
Pros - Light weight and easy to maneuver - intuitive design makes it easy to use and nice design.
Cons - very low suction and seems to clog up after one use. No horsepower listed on the box and was told it was very powerful by a sales person.
The story - I went to Best Buy to purchase the Hoover SteamVac F7452-900 All Terrain Steam Cleaner with SpinScrub which is advertised being at the store. I have had the Hoover model for over 5 years and it has been an incredible workhorse typically using it twice a week. Strong suction and allowed for quick drying over large areas. We moved from a 6-bedroom home of 3,300 square feet to a 1,000 foot two bedroom two bath apartment. Didn't think I would need all the power of the Hoover but with two small dogs, well, they sometimes miss the puppy pads. I'm hoping I will be able to return the new Bissell for a Hoover.
BEST BUY - this is not a fault of Best Buy - they are a great store that carries quality items - unfortunately I didn't do the homework needed to evaluate this product adequately - I should have waited for the Hoover that I wanted...

Must Vacuum First
May 10, 2017
I think I know why you might have less suction or clogging. I learned this the hard way. It is best to vacuum the carpet prior to using this machine - actually every carpet shampooer requires this step. You may have skipped doing this, but if not you may need to use the tool they include and slide it into the nozzle and remove any hair and other clogs. Anyway it worked great for me. The other area to check is the 'red filter' below the dirty tank, I noticed this gets pretty much completely covered and although you clean the tank you need to also clean this filter (see page 16 of the manual Step 5). Hope this helps.

1 out of 5Cheap Materials, Bad Sound, Poor Quality Control
By ryanmcv
I wanted to like these, but JLab really dropped the ball with my set of Epic2 headphones. I'd normally list the pros first, but I'm so disappointed that I'm starting with the cons.
CONS:
- The Epic2s are supposed to come with 6 pairs of silicone ear tips. Well, I got 6 ear tips, but not 6 PAIRS of ear tips. My box only had 1 of each type of ear tip. Yes, I looked everywhere - inside the carrying case, in every plastic bag -- they're not there.
- After I removed the headphones from the box, I noticed that the black coating on the cord was starting to peel. This is probably because JLab forcefully bends the cord to fit it into the awkward box. Not a good first impression, and I'm sure it's only going to get worse.
- It's too bad that JLab didn't provide all of the ear tips, because the ones that come installed by default do not fit me well at all. They are way too small for my ears and slide out while I'm running. It would have been nice to try another set of ear tips, but I obviously can't do that.
- These things just aren't comfortable on my ears. The over-ear loops just feel awkward and don't allow much room for adjustment.
- The cord is just ridiculously long. The headphones come with 2 cable clips (which I actually got - yay!), but they are awkward to use and you're warned that using them might kill your Bluetooth connection. No thanks.
- The volume and track control buttons are horribly placed. I feel like I have to reach around and grab the back of my neck if I want to adjust the volume.
- Speaking of sound and volume, these headphones just don't sound good. They are way too bass-heavy and voices/dialogue sound extremely muted.

- Comes with a nice carrying case.

OVERALL:
I've emailed JLab to see about getting replacement ear tips, but even with those, I think I'll still avoid these headphones. I wouldn't want the cord to start peeling apart mid-workout. The title of this review says it all: these headphones are made from cheap materials, have bad sound quality, and apparently go through minimal quality control processes. Avoid at all costs.

Just on the ear tips
June 30, 2017
I know you said they were not included and you looked hard, but I found the small bag with one half of the ear tips and on the placard the other half of each size were connected in the cardboard. I would agree it was odd packaging. But I have a feeling that you might (just maybe) have easily tossed them, baby-with-bath-water style.

RalphHenry's Questions
RalphHenry has not submitted any questions.
Ditch the headphone cable with these Insignia Bluetooth wireless earbuds. With up to five hours of use per charge and an included charging case for mid-day boosts, these earbuds are ideal for daily use. These Insignia Bluetooth wireless earbuds feature a built-in microphone for hands-free calling and easy voice commands.
Can you pair one with one phone and another if another phone so that two people can share one set?
No. The right bud is a master, i.e. it connects and is paired to your source. The left bud connects to the right bud, it does not connect to the source.

Can you use one ear piece by itself without affecting sound quality?
That is a subjective question, for me personally the answer is no. However you can use it with just the right bud running if you must keep one ear free. The way these work the right bud is the master and the left bud won't work at all without the right bud paired to your source. Also in case you think you could use the left ear bud and keep your right ear free, that won't work because the left earbud has to be about 8 inches or less from the right earbud or it turns doesn't connect.

Can you pair one with one phone and another if another phone so that two people can share one set?
Listen to your TV or music wirelessly without disturbing others.
Can you have 2 sets of headphones working on the same tv ?
Yes. On your TV will be a right and left audio RCA output jacks. Connect one of these to each jack: Male-to-Female RCA Y-Adapter (https://www.bestbuy.com/site/insignia-male-to-female-rca-y-adapter-black/4371028.p?skuId=4371028). Now connect your RCA cables that came with each headphone as you now have 4 jacks to plug into and connect them to each sending/charging unit. Now both headphones will get the audio signal from the TV.

Is this a good mouse to use for blender software?
I would say 'no'. I would recommend a gaming specific mouse and look for one that fits the size of your hand. That being said, this is a subjective area. However for gaming I liked the Fnatic Flick2 it is a little smaller than the Fnatic Clutch 2. Both are similar in Lift Off Distance and DPI settings. Again you may like it for Blender SW etc.

Optimize your viewing experience on this 23-inch Dell LCD monitor. Its Full HD IPS screen lets you see content from almost any angle. Easily connect a laptop or a PC to the VGA and HDMI ports on this Dell LCD monitor.
I tried hooking up my macbook pro (which only has a usb-c port) to the monitor via hdmi and a hdmi adapter. However, the monitor keeps telling me there is no hdmi signal from my device. How do I fix this? The adapter works on other monitors (also Dells).
If you open the menus on the monitor (hit the buttons underneath on the right hand side). There is a selection for input, maybe that will fix you up. It may not realize it is HDMI, but if you tell it that is the input I think it should work for you.

I didn't get one either, I think the description is in error. I was able to utilize HDMI. An older VGA cable will work, but maybe BestBuy will give you a VGA cable, you will have to ask them.
