Handy Speaker/PA for Many Uses
on September 27, 2019
Posted by: RalphHenry
from Raleigh, NC
Excellent outdoor speaker. The first thing I checked was if it had effective rubber ‘plugs’ to keep out moisture and it does indeed have the best I’ve seen. It does have a very nice array of functionality: AM/FM radio, Bluetooth, phone charging port, rechargeable battery and microphone to name the top functions.
I did find the Bluetooth pairing was really easy. Also the radio worked very well and did have a seek/scan feature as well as preset capability. The battery life proved as advertised at 50 plus hours.
It came with a something not often found: an informative printed manual. You can even link two speakers or more together.
I found that having the microphone was a great idea as it does turn this into a portable outdoor PA system.
The speakers had very good volume, however the sound was not the greatest. Since it is an outdoor speaker the less than robust sound is not as important since there is a lot of ambient noise anyway. So I did not deduct for the sound – and the sound was very good and you also could press the Bass Button to get a little richer sound from the speaker.
The charging port is very important so you can plug in your phone and it will ensure your phone won’t go dead while using the speaker at an outdoor party or BBQ. I did use it at my garage sale to make ‘sort of announcements’ over the din of the crowd – so that was really nice to be able to do. I also used it by my Hot Tub and that was another wonderful advantage of this waterproof speaker that does not have to be plugged into power.
The features provided and included microphone/cables make this a great purchase at the price point. I do highly recommend this for those wanting to have a rechargeable outdoor speaker. It can also be used indoors as I did to improve my TV sound.

Fantastic Product, Well Designed
on September 23, 2019
Posted by: RalphHenry
from Raleigh, NC
The Upright Go is an amazing little device. I have been trying it out for about a week. It is used to correct you from slumping your shoulders which I am notorious at. I tried a device that you strap on but it was uncomfortable and didn’t work anyway. I was a bit concerned that this device, which emits a slight vibration when you slump, may not really work as claimed – but it most certainly did. It is a brilliant idea. The vibration does cause you to pull your shoulders back right away. Your brain quickly gets the hint and you begin to slump less even when using it only for a week.
It is not uncomfortable at all, and it is really very easy to put it on your back just about 4 or 5 inches below where your spine starts. It uses a pad like you may know from when electrodes are attached with some medical devices. You can where it under clothing and it is so small that it is not noticeable.
The app you download is fantastic and very well designed. You don’t need to read the instructions that came with it as the app walks you through the setup and usage. You also get statistical data from the app on how well you are doing. The app will instruct you on setting up your correct posture and it is so helpful to watch the visual on the screen which shows you slumping if you want to watch while you use it.
You charge it in a small case. It comes with several additional stick-on pads and you can buy them cheaply when you run out. There is a color-coded LED to alert you when it is charging and when it needs charging.
There is a very nice video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ph3ifHLp4NE&feature=youtube which was very well done by the manufacturer – it’s less than 4 minutes and it is a good idea to watch it.
Everything about this product is well thought out and I am very impressed with the idea of using this technology to help correct slumping. Wonderful product and I would highly recommend it – it works.

Handy and Nice Sound
on August 17, 2019
Posted by: RalphHenry
from Raleigh, NC
The function for the price is excellent for this device. I tried all the functions and although you do have to get used to the user interface, it is not complicated. I found the FM radio was handy and the sound was very nice at this price point. The most important feature was the ability to play your MP3 song lists. You are able to easily access and organize your songs. It is small enough to put in a shirt pocket or pants pocket as you jog. It is solid construction and you can't go wrong choosing this one.

Excellent Lower Cost Printer and 1 year Ink
on July 19, 2019
Posted by: RalphHenry
from Raleigh, NC
This is a full function printer with a multi-sheet feeder, fax, copy and print. One unique feature is the ink reservoirs that can allow enough ink to print one year. The cartridges that came in the box were advertised as able to supply 1 year of ink – that’s hard to prove but if true it will be a very cost-saving feature. The manual does indicate the number of sheets as 150 pages/month as a year’s worth of ink usage.
Installing utilizes either the included CD or you can download from the Brother site. I did see that you must have the printer and your PC on the same network which is normal. However most routers now have a 5 GHZ and a 2.4 GHZ SSID. Further most routers now also offer a feature to name one SSID and the router will ‘automagically’ pick out the optimal bandwidth network. I take time to say this since my PC did not find the printer at first. I realized that the PC was using the 5 GHZ SSID and the printer can only talk WiFi via 2.4 GHZ. Once I forced the PC onto the 2.4GHZ SSID, then the PC did find the printer. One way to avoid all this is to use a USB cable to hardwire the printer to your PC during installation, once done, you can connect via WiFi. Lastly once defined you can have devices using the 5 GHZ SSID or the 2.4 GHZ SSID and either will find the printer.
When you first install the printer it prints a sheet to see if the colors are printing correctly. I noticed the yellow was barely visible, but this turns out to be normal. When I tested a little rainbow photo the yellow was just as bright as the other colors.
A color test showed a rainbow very nicely but not as bright as printers that cost twice this price – so that is fair enough. If you want super bright colors from this printer you can set ‘Best quality’ but you also must set ‘Vivid’ color in the properties. Still it was not quite as good as the more expensive printers but quite acceptable at this price point.
Build quality is solid and all the features worked as designed. I did like that there is just a power cord and no power brick, you just plug the printer in like any other appliance.
I definitely recommend this printer, it is full featured and the one-year ink is a super idea.

Sharpest and Best Touchscreen
on July 16, 2019
Posted by: RalphHenry
from Raleigh, NC
This is a very nice dash cam. I liked the app, although it took me two tries to get it to show ‘live feed’ on my cell phone. But it was my fault since I didn’t follow the instructions and tried to do it on the fly. So advice upfront in my review is to follow the setup guide. I had to actually reset the camera and start all over to get everything to work.
This dash cam had the best screen of any I have used. Indeed it was a couple steps above the others – extremely sharp and bright. Also this screen tested better than others as far as the touch screen capability – super nice.
I may add a rear dash cam and this one has the feature to just plug it into this camera - very easy. You can get a rearview camera that acts like a rear view mirror or one that captures the inside of the vehicle. These are both options. The rear-facing camera will just plug into the side of this camera so no other wiring is needed.
It records GPS, speed, date and you can turn them off separately.
It has the ability to auto-save video sections if it senses an impact – which is a requirement of any dash cam I think.
It also can interface with Alexa and even has an emergency response SOS to alert emergency services to your location if needed.
I found the wide angle view gives you a perfect capture of the road ahead and oncoming traffic.
Small point but the included flat spudger tool was really helpful to tuck the cable under your windshield trim; and it was easier to hide the installation cable all the way to the power socket using this tool.
This camera is a little more expensive than others but given the better fit and finish and the quality of the lens and the 3" IPS touch screen it is well worth it and I would recommend it.

Cordless Feature a Must for Stairs and Cars
on July 3, 2019
Posted by: RalphHenry
from Raleigh, NC
This little gem is a wonder and much needed appliance for pet owners. I found it to be very solid and high quality. I did easily assemble the attachment brush and charged the battery. I went to work on a set of carpeted steps and of course this is where the product feature of cordless was most helpful. I used the cleaning solution provided and I did dilute it a bit even though it said to use it full strength – it cleaned very well and had a great smell. The cordless feature and light weight are extremely useful for steps and I also used it to clean the carpet in my vehicle. You are advised and it is prudent to vacuum before you use any carpet shampoo type device. I definitely recommend this product, it is just what is needed for smaller carpet cleaning needs – perfect.

Works Very Well for Smaller Antenna
on June 20, 2019
Posted by: RalphHenry
from Raleigh, NC
This is a very nice antenna for a smaller unit. It can hang on a wall or it can stand up on two legs that fold out. It does come with an amplifier that is a must to include in your hookup.
It is wise to install the free phone app that is suggested called the ‘RCA Signal Finder’. This app looks out and presents you a map on your phone of the various over the air stations. The app did work quite nicely. It shows you the direction the signal is coming from and you can turn the antenna to get the best signal – it really works. Also it works for any over the air antenna since it just shows you the various stations and where they are. Actually the amplifier that comes with the antenna worked with other antennas I have.
First I used this in a 1st floor living room and the results were not tremendous. It was not able to gather as many signals (nor as clear) as some of the larger antennas. Of course the price point is smaller on this one. But when I placed this antenna on the second floor near the ceiling it worked great – almost as good as the larger antennas I have. Certainly very well for the price point.
Just a suggestion but since my house is wired in all the rooms for cable TV, but I don’t have TV’s in all the rooms; I was able to utilize a cable outlet on the second floor by connecting this cable to the antenna upstairs to the cable that went to my living room (via jumping them together in the outside cable box). Basically I was able to hook the living room TV to the upstairs position of the antenna without any added wiring – and it worked great since now I had a higher position for the antenna.
I would recommend this antenna based on the price point and the included signal amplifier. Well done by the designers. The app is definitely something I will continue to use from time to time as well to ensure the antenna is pointed optimally.

Beautiful and Powerful
on June 20, 2019
Posted by: RalphHenry
from Raleigh, NC
This PC covers all the bases of solid build and high quality. I have used the previous version and it has worked flawlessly as my main PC. I did compare the new one to my older Acer Nitro5 that is very similar spec-wise except the older one uses the 8th generation Intel CPU and this one uses the 9th gen chips. Although the clock speed ticked up from 2.3 Ghz to 2.4 Ghz it’s not something you will probably notice. Both are very well designed and very fast at processing games and MS Office applications like Word or Excel. It does have eight processors so it will be quick at multi-tasking as well as super-fast at any individual data processing application. Acer has gotten it right in their design of the internal data bus’s coupled with memory speed and CPU speed so everything blazes along together.
The newest generation will run a little cooler according to the specs. Both have the NitroSense application installed although the newer machine even provides a keyboard key to launch it. This app allows you to manually control fan speeds, view the CPU temperature and modify power plans. It’s very neat although everything can be done automatically.
The physical machine has some differences from the earlier version as well. It is smaller, however the screen size is the same, just less bezel, so that is very nice. The power port is in the middle of the right hand side which made way for some cooling ports. I think it would have been better to keep the power port more out of the way like the earlier version machine. Also the USB port on the right side also is near the middle, so if you use a wired gaming mouse for example, you probably want the port more toward the top end of the keyboard area (and out of the way more) which is again how the earlier version machine is. If you use a wireless mouse of course this doesn’t matter. This is a small design point but I did notice it.
Overall the Nitro5 line continues to have a stealthy look and beautiful backlit keyboard. A nice touch is that it comes with a beautiful sleeve to use to carry the machine when you sometimes don’t want to use a more bulky case.
Both the older and newer PC’s did great on a quick wireless internet speed-test but the newer one was a little faster on average: 228Mbps vs 233Mbps. My internet connection is only rated at 200 Mbps so it’s nice that the Nitro5’s obviously have excellent wireless electronics installed. Acer does tout the ultra-fast wireless speed and they delivered. The graphics card has 3GB dedicated memory so that is very nice.
You don’t get an SD card slot on the newer one which I do miss since I use devices like dash cams and they use SD cards. The advertising on BestBuy does say it supports SD cards but it does not. The older Nitro did have the SD card slot. However, you can just get an SD/USB adapter that plugs in via one of the USB ports. There is an extra USB-3 port and also a USB port to charge devices even if the PC is off. Also there is a USB-C port which is becoming a necessity anymore.
I have found that the Nitro5 build is top rated versus the many PC’s I have used. It is a beautiful machine with lots of power for most any use including ‘medium level’ gaming. The price point is outstanding for a PC with the specs of the Nitro5. I would recommend it highly. Acer has won me over.

Absolutely Wonderful Sound and Features
on June 10, 2019
Posted by: RalphHenry
from Youngsville, NC
This headset can play with very loud volume but you don’t need to since the audio is so clear. I felt the ‘Tournament’ equalizer position was the best for games or voice or music. The ‘Natural Bass’ setting was my second choice due to the nice bass effect - not too much but noticeable. The game sounds really pop with these headphones. There are 4 equalizer presets and you can even create your own equalizer levels using an app on Windows called “Astro Command Center”. The equalizer will dial in the right sound ‘atmosphere’ for anyone I think, since it is fully adjustable. You can easily reset all settings if you get a little messed up and want to start over. You can change main presets in the app or use the button on the mixamp. This app will also let you make changes easily for the microphone and other settings – check it out. The app will update your firmware automatically or you can set it to only update firmware manually which I prefer. I needed to update the firmware when I first used the headphones.
There is a Quickstart Guide in the box and at first, I didn’t see it; it is under the cables. Actually the packaging is excellent and reflects how high the build quality of this product is. Super solid feel to phones and even the cables are superior quality. It is wired only not wireless, however the cables for the headset and the USB cable are very long – no problem there. The box itself has a very detailed schematic of all the features – so don’t throw it away.
The comfort is superb I think due to the adjustment capability and I do prefer the soft felt cushions versus leather cushions. This felt material helps you avoid sweating and also allows a bit of air to circulate to keep things from getting warm on your ears. Very nice design point indeed. The sound quality and the surround sound is amazing.
Here’s a nice video to watch that is short but shows you the connection process properly if you don’t like reading the manuals. https://www.google.com/search?source=hp&ei=guX9XOivFq_p_Qbi77m4DQ&q=astro+a40+%2B+mixamp+pro+tr+quick+guide&oq=astro&gs_l=psy-ab.1.0.35i39l2j0i131j0l4j0i131j0l2.3696.4857..10934...1.0..0.81.388.6......0....1..gws-wiz.....6.MSJs8A357Yk#kpvalbx=1
I was able to wear my glasses while also wearing the headset. My ears did not get pinched wearing the headset, which is important to me as I am a senior citizen and we often get larger ears over time. This is actually very important that the earcups are big enough to cover large or small ears properly. I thought the headset got more comfortable after about 10 hours – so give the headset a chance to maybe break in a little. Never uncomfortable but definitely got better with some usage.
The volume and chat balance dials are very smooth and responsive, this can help you find the right settings for you easily. The magic that balances the voice versus game volume is amazing and you will love it.
I highly recommend these headsets for any gamer or even anyone who wants more control over the excellent audio that these headphones provide.

The box itself has a very detailed schematic of all the features – so don’t throw it away.
The comfort is superb I think due to the adjustment capability and I do prefer the soft felt cushions versus leather cushions. This felt material helps you avoid sweating and also allows a bit of air to circulate to keep things from getting warm on your ears. Very nice design point indeed. The sound quality and the surround sound is amazing.
Here’s a nice video to watch that is short but shows you the connection process properly if you don’t like reading the manuals. https://www.google.com/search?source=hp&ei=guX9XOivFq_p_Qbi77m4DQ&q=astro+a40+%2B+mixamp+pro+tr+quick+guide&oq=astro&gs_l=psy-ab.1.0.35i39l2j0i131j0l4j0i131j0l2.3696.4857..10934...1.0..0.81.388.6......0....1..gws-wiz.....6.MSJs8A357Yk#kpvalbx=1
I was able to wear my glasses while also wearing the headset. My ears did not get pinched wearing the headset, which is important to me as I am a senior citizen and we often get larger ears over time. This is actually very important that the earcups are big enough to cover large or small ears properly. I thought the headset got more comfortable after about 10 hours – so give the headset a chance to maybe break in a little. Never uncomfortable but definitely got better with some usage.
The volume and chat balance dials are very smooth and responsive, this can help you find the right settings for you easily. The magic that balances the voice versus game volume is amazing and you will love it.
I highly recommend these headsets for any gamer or even anyone who wants more control over the excellent audio that these headphones provide.

Smooth Looking and Awesome Sound
on May 31, 2019

This is a product that is worth the higher price. For starters, the packaging is awesome and ensures the device will not be damaged in shipment. Often products arrive bouncing around in a box but not this one, so that was great.
You will notice that all the cables are provided so there is no need to rush out to get any type of cable such as the optical audio cable. I used an TV which did not have the HDMI ARC level port. This is found on newer smart TV’s so that the audio gets sent to the receiver/sound bar for an improvement in sound quality. HDMI ARC can allow for one remote to turn on everything in a system including your sound bar – that’s handy. So the manual will ask you to use an HDMI ARC port if there is one. However if you don’t have one an optical cable is included and I noticed this also turns on this sound bar – the sound over the optical cable is fantastic. You’ll notice little rubber dust shields where you connect the optical cable to your TV and also to the sound bar. The connector areas on the sound bar are slightly tilted which makes it easier to plug your connectors – a small detail but very important to ensure you can easily plug the connectors – good thinking by some engineer and just another indicator that this is a top level product all the way from the excellent sound to the little design points.
The install was easy. I noticed that the engineers and programmers for this device are a very smart crew – for example the bass woofer which is a separate box connects via Bluetooth to the main sound bar, so there is no cable needed. They also provide a handy light on the back of the woofer to show you it is connected – green if good, orange if not connected. The electronics does all the work for you, just set up your system and it will connect the woofer ‘automagically’.
Also the design is very ‘understated’ for example as you raise or lower the volumes little LED’s will show you the level. Each LED has multiple intensity levels to show the loudness which keeps the design clean.
The sound is wonderful. You do need to turn your TV speakers off. Don’t be tempted to leave them on when using a sound bar – it creates a muddled sound. Go to the TV’s menu and turn the TV audio off, it is not a good idea to just mute the TV audio as it gets cumbersome to keep turning it down or off.
The sound is so crisp and precise that you will not be tempted to use your TV speaker – just absolutely fabulous – which is the main reason you buy the product. The slim design blends in well and actually I often don’t even see the sound bar. The instructions say the woofer should be placed in a corner but I found no difference with just placing on the floor next to your TV stand. You do get a remote which handles main functions including how much bass and also it has a button to ‘center’ the audio – great thinking i.e. simple yet gives you all the adjustments you need.
You can also use Chromecast to send audio and video to this soundbar by using the Google Home app. I will tell you that using this soundbar to hear your Google Music casted from your cell phone will blow you away.
I highly recommend this product for it’s powerful and pure sound and also for the overall simple design where the electronics does the complicated stuff for you, which takes great programming and great hardware.

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.

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.
- Battery life estimate of 12 hours seems to be accurate.

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.

Enjoy Full HD viewing with this 25-inch HP micro-edge display. It has one VGA and two HDMI inputs for versatile, high-definition connectivity, and its edge-to-edge panel lets you opt for a clean-looking multi-monitor setup. Play video games smoothly thanks to the AMD FreeSync technology of this thin HP micro-edge display.
There was no vga cable in the box. Should I go to best buy or hp?
I don't think HP provides a VGA cable with this unit, only the HDMI cable. You will have to purchase one. Of course an old VGA cable will work fine. If you can switch to HDMI it is much better and of course VGA is being phased out.

Is this booster compatible with Verizon?
I don't think it is a question of carrier but rather the model of your cell phone. You can google to see if your phone is compatible. Also look on the box for those few iPhones and Samsung phones listed.

Take your music anywhere with this portable Sony wireless speaker. Lightweight and water-resistant, it has a 16-hour battery life, making it perfect for on-the-go listening all day. This Sony wireless speaker has Bluetooth connectivity with NFC One-touch, and it can also link to a second speaker for stereo sound.
We have a 2007 Insignia Flat Screen TV. How do we know if it is Bluetooth compatible? We have Xfinity as our cable provider.
In 2007 it is probably not Bluetooth. It won't have anything to do with your cable provider. To see if the TV happens to be Bluetooth compatible I would try this. Select Menu or Settings. Look for something like 'Add Accessory' or pair with Bluetooth Device.. You might also look for Audio settings but that is less likely. Now your TV probably does have an Audio Out Jack of the 3.5mm variety. The speaker also has a little Audio In jack. You would need a cable like this one https://www.bestbuy.com/site/insignia-6-3-5mm-mini-audio-cable-black/4370001.p?skuId=4370001 from Best Buy. Simply plug in to both the TV and speaker and you are good to go. Now if you don't have the 3.5mm jack on your TV you probably have Audio Out on RCA jacks, in that case get this cable to connect: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/insignia-6-3-5mm-mini-to-rca-stereo-audio-cable-black/4408001.p?skuId=4408001

Will Google Hello do a better job in regards to lag (delay) and motion detection? I had another video doorbell (rhimes with Ding) which could not adequately connect to the wifi, terrable lag, poor motion detection (false alarms and missed live ones).
Delay is a second or so on the NEST HELLO. I know because as I tested it, I could hear my wife talk inside and then hear her voice outside; and vice-versa. So it is not what I'd consider a problem.
