Marshall Brand Quality and Affordable
on March 15, 2019
Posted by: RalphHenry
from Youngsville, NC
The quality of these headphones is as expected from the Marshall brand. The build quality is solid and very nicely designed. The head pads are a little small for me, as I have bigger ears, so if you aren’t able to try these ahead of time, you may also find the cups could be a little larger. I did experience some discomfort after wearing them for 30 minutes no matter how I adjusted the head band. If you have a bit smallish to medium ears you will be delighted with how soft the ear padding is and it does block out some of the ambient noise around you.
I did see some folks have trouble with Bluetooth pairing. I did also misfire on my first try and I think it is due to not reading the manual which is clearly showing you how to do it. The design could be a little more clever but basically you turn the phones off and on with the same button and you have a very nice LED to tell you what is happening. For pairing: you must start with the phones “off”. Now hold the power button until you see the LED turn blue. You’ll see the LED blink white but keep holding for the full 5 seconds (holding for 3 seconds just turns it on); keep holding a couple more seconds till you see the LED turn blue, now pair it and it actually turns off. Remember it is paired but “off” so if you try to listen you hear nothing, I bet that’s what some people did. You need to turn it back on. It’s a tradeoff, one button, one LED – many functions. I actually like the simplicity of the design.
The sound is smooth and lots of bass and very clear. I was quite happy with the ability to hear highs, lows and midrange sounds. So high marks here.
Yes it has a very nice microphone and yes you can use these phones to answer calls. Be sure to look at the nice manual that comes with it and understand how to answer a call and hang-up. That same button that I love, handles pausing songs and increasing and decreasing the volume. I have to applaud the engineers at Marshall for making it a simple joystick – great. I did especially like the materials used in construction of these phones - classy and strong. So I do recommend these headphones, and I can’t deduct a star because I have big ears, so try them on and if the fit is good, you’ll have a superior headphone.

Five Star Plus - Great Printer
on February 23, 2019
Posted by: RalphHenry
from Youngsville, NC
I have used and owned many printers, this one is the best. It is made rock solid, and the design is intuitive and simple to connect the printer and install the print cartridges. Using the HP Smart app it was easy to connect the printer over WiFi and you can easily print from your phone or from a computer. You have an option to send a link from your phone so that each computer can just get and follow that link to install the software - very nice. The HP Smart app on your phone can also help you set up SMART TASKS. These are like little macros that can speed up operations by combining some commands into a couple clicks on your phone for example. I can create a SMART TASK to print a pdf single-sided in color and ship it to the printer - worked great, like magic. You can create and save many and varied SMART TASKS and sync them to the printer too - you'll love these time saving little functions. Another ability of this printer is to copy or scan a document double-sided in one pass. I took a letter that had been folded twice so it had creases. I unfolded it and put it in the feeder and entered 'copy, color, double sided'. This printer pulled the document in, scanned once and the document came part way out and it told me to wait a bit for the ink to dry, sucked the document back in and printed the other side having scanned both sides on the first pass - perfect color on both sides and no problem with the folds on the paper. Also it has two paper trays so you can put photo paper in one or even different color paper in one - very useful feature to have two trays. It is full function with print, scan, copy and fax. The touch screen is excellent and can be tilted to get the right angle on your view. The icons and layout are very user-friendly. Another nice touch is that someone designed it so that there are hand-holds on the bottom so it is easy to move the printer or pick it up. The black/white or color printouts were excellent. The engineers at HP get a tip of the cap for this one. I highly recommend this printer.

Nice Accessory to Get Solid Grip on Phone
on January 5, 2019
Posted by: RalphHenry
from Youngsville, NC
The GrabTab is a very useful little device. It has a super strong adhesive backing strip that will adhere to your phone and stays put. If you have a smooth sleeve for your phone like I do, then put it on the sleeve and it ensures you will have a very good grip on the phone. It also functions as a stand either horizontal or vertical. It almost weighs nothing so it does not add any significant weight to your phone. It has been very durable, I’ve used it for a few weeks and it has not shown any wear – very strong PVC material. It lays almost flat when it is closed so it did not impede me putting it in my pocket as I normally do. It will stay open as the slide will clip into a small indent, but it is easily folded up. I did have a metal stand which was nice but I like this one more. I do recommend it.

Two Cameras Plus Audio - Perfect
on December 28, 2018
Posted by: RalphHenry
from Youngsville, NC
This is a very advanced dashcam especially at this price point. You have a forward facing and rear facing camera in one unit which is very nice and eliminates the need to run wiring from the front of the vehicle to the rear. The camera does allow for a long list of settings but using the defaults was fine for me. I found the unit to be very well made and functionally does incorporate all the features needed. If you want GPS logging you do need to buy a separate unit which then plugs into a port on the main body. This is a better design I think because many people would want the dual camera feature but at a lower price point. If you want the GPS as I do, you can purchase the additional accessory which is at a very reasonable price.
I was able to put the device through about 400 miles of testing so far and it is super. The videos were very sharp but I did use a higher resolution which I do think is important. You can also take photos with this dashcam as well.
It has nice 5MP sensors and the 1920x1080 resolution works perfectly – you can easily read road signs etc. on playback, it also shows your mph speed. You get two videos labeled A and B for each time segment – one is the rear-facing and one is the front-facing camera. Any A/V player on a PC or on your phone will work. I did download the free Rexing GPS player that shows your front/rear videos and alongside those videos you see a Google map of the location that moves right along in sync with the video – how cool is that; you can download the GPS player here:
https://www.rexingusa.com/support/product-support/v2/
I used a 32GB SD card but the unit will support up to a 128GB micro SD card. The 32GB card handled about 4 hours of recordings for me at the highest resolution. I did set my video clips to 3 minutes, you can vary this based on your preference. If you are new to dashcams, they typically record in a series of clips and will overlap an older clip if the SD card space runs out. This is smart so that you have the latest videos. However, if the unit senses a collision which is an important feature it has, then it will mark a clip so that it is locked and can’t be overwritten.
There is a phone app called TimaCam, and once installed you can connect this wirelessly to the dashcam and set parameters and watch videos. It might be a little easier to use the app to alter settings but I preferred using the buttons on the dashcam itself. You do need to read the manual, it’s simple but the meaning of the symbols is important to understand.
The package includes two mounting options, adhesive pad or suction cup mount. I recommend the adhesive pad so it can’t fall off the windshield if the suction cup eventually gives way. Also the unit can be removed from the part that stays on the windshield if needed, so I think the adhesive pad is best.
I found this tidbit useful to me. I noticed Rexing has products that are using supercapacitors, although not in this dashcam. Supercapacitors are relatively new and have some advantages over rechargeable batteries. The fact Rexing is involved already with supercapacitors tells me they are a very forward-thinking company and that’s great.
I did have a question and sent an email to Rexing support the day before Christmas and got an answer right away – so I give Rexing support high marks. Also the website is very professional and useful for getting stuff like new firmware or even info from a blog. I did load the newest firmware and it is easy to do, just load the firmware .bin-file to a clean SD card and plug it into the unit and turn on – automagically it puts the new firmware on. You do need to delete this .bin-file from the SD card or just reformat the card before you want to use it to record more videos.
You can extend the warranty from 12 months to 18 months just by registering the device, so you do need to do that. I highly recommend this unit and love its functionality, and I must say it looks very sharp in my truck as well.

Small and Mighty Scanner
on December 23, 2018
Posted by: RalphHenry
from Youngsville, NC
This product is outstanding. I can highly recommend it. It is solid and well designed functionally. I do have some admittedly older multi-function printers and they perform scanning functions very well. But this device is super-fast; meaning only a few seconds to scan a page from initiation of the scan request to when the copy is available in your device.
You can scan to a computer or from your cell phone. Either method has software that is flawless and intuitive. Use the Epson ‘ScanSmart’ Software on a PC or download the Epson ‘DocumentScan’ app for your phone. When you initiate a scan on the device while connected to a PC, the software will pop open and you easily complete your scan. On a phone just open the software and connect wirelessly to the scanner and you scan can be done in a few seconds. There are no glitches I could find. I particularly like using the phone and sending the PDF to my email or gmail account and I’m done. I do use this scanner a lot to submit online medical forms that come to me hardcopy. With this tiny portable device I have saved a lot of time since wherever I am in the house I can scan the document in using my phone, and not worry about losing the receipt on my kitchen table which is a mess I admit. Later when I get to any of my computers I can look it over and upload it to the medical site for re-imbursement. No chance for me to lose the hardcopy document which sometimes I do – this device has eliminated my human error that others may not have.
You can save the scan into Word, Powerpoint, etc. or even attach it to an email all under the free Epson ‘ScanSmart’ software. I use the Mozilla Thunderbird email client and the Epson software magically opened my email client and created a new email with the pdf from the scan attached – how cool is that. You can also elect to save to Dropbox or Evernote etc. You may have to download a plug-in to make some functions work; however the software just asks you if you want to download the plug-in and takes over and does everything, so it is easy. It is a single-sheet feed device so you may want to use your mulit-function printer for doing scans of many-page documents.
Small business users will want to take advantage of the Epson ScanSmart Accounting Edition Software, with receipt management functionality. This allows you functions like exporting receipts to Quickbooks for example and many other advanced accounting document management tools. Take a look at the user’s guide here: https://files.support.epson.com/docid/cpd5/cpd55726.pdf to see the complete list of abilities - very nice.
It is so small you can take it with you on business trips and vacations and you can’t do that with a full size scanner or multi-function printer. All operations of the software on the phone or on the PC worked everytime, no confusion or fuzzy areas. This is a very nice product and it is professional. I love it. I think it is one of those must-have products for a home or business environment.

Powerful, Smart, Unique
on November 30, 2018
Posted by: RalphHenry
from Youngsville, NC
This is a very powerful blender. Right away I liked the rubber suction feet that ensure it stays in place nicely. This version comes with both the ability to make smoothies and all the functions of a normal blender plus the kitchen chopper/dough mixer and its blades. A smaller pitcher/mug is included and this is very handy for making a small batch. It mounts on the mixer with its own blade - you can remove the blade and use the included screw-on lid to take this mug with you as it fits in the cup holder in your car. The mixer customizes its blending based on what attachment you use: 72 oz. pitcher, small mug, or kitchen processor/chopper. A small icon of the attached container pops up on the touchscreen.
This blender has a capability that I had not seen before. You can place a small cordless pump called the Freshvac on top of the blender to remove air from your concoction. You don't need to screw it in, just set the Freshvac on top in its designated place atop of a vacuum seal. You can blend the contents a little before you vacuum but if you have filled the pitcher really high you may notice the juices may rise close to the top as you vacuum so I do the vacuum work before I do the blending just as the directions say to do. Note that all you need to do is press a green button on the side of the Freshvac pump and then it releases its pressure and you can then lift it off. Before you serve your smoothie, you also need to pull up on a small flap on top of the pitcher to release the pressure inside. The resulting smoothie does taste better as now it is all smoothie and no air bubbles - so the taste is more intense.
The chopper also works top notch, and is so smooth. The cutting disk is reversible for slicing or shredding. Cleaning is a breeze; I put some water and a very little amount of dish-washing liquid into any of the accessories and let the blender clean it.
You will love the quick start guide, and a complete user guide is included for more details. You also get a very nice recipe booklet. Note there are several built in programs, so take advantage of these. They are accessible via a very solid and well-constructed touch screen. The blender will change speeds and stop as needed to ensure the optimal mixing. These pre-sets were nicer than you might at first think, because for example - you can go make some toast and don't have to stop the blender and rearrange contents etc., in order to get things mixed properly. You just come back and the blender has everything mixed perfectly.
All the parts are very sturdy and Ninja has designed the blades correctly for optimal mixing - well done. I do highly recommend this blender/food-processor.

Earbud to Earbud Connectivity Weak
on November 28, 2018
Posted by: RalphHenry
from Youngsville, NC
The sound is average at best from these ear buds. I have tried over a dozen earbuds and these are the weakest in terms of bass. I also found the charging process was finicky. The left earbud never did turn off the red LED to show it was fully charged, even if left overnight- tried it three nights. I made sure that the contacts on each bud were connected/seated in the nice charging case.
The right earbud paired easily to my android phone. The left earbud is supposed to then pair with the right earbud when you hit its power on button but there is a design problem here (I feel). At least with the earbud set I had, the left earbud needed to be within about 8 inches of the right earbud or it did not connect. If you put the right earbud in your ear to hear music and ensure it really is paired with your phone, the natural tendency is to hold the left earbud in your hands so you can see it blink when you hit its power button. However, you are too far from the right earbud so nothing happens – no lights and it does not wake up. When I hold it near my head close enough to the right bud, it might connect or might not connect based on if it turned on or if I accidently turned it off trying to figure why there were no lights . Also once I do get both working, if I pull the right or left bud out an inch or an inch and a half, the left bud stops. It took me a while to figure all this out and that was frustrating. It may be my left earbud is defective, that may explain why this connectivity is so weak. The right and left touchpads on the buds worked fine for functions to pause/play and for cell phone call functions.
The earbuds were very comfortable and easy to put on and in your ears. The price is about the same compared to other brands that work better; so I can’t recommend these primarily due to the usability problem I mentioned

Great for Wireless Connection Without Bluetooth
on November 28, 2018
Posted by: RalphHenry
from Youngsville, NC
These headphones are excellent for comfort and sound. They are not Bluetooth connectible but they are indeed wireless. Many people need the capability these headphones provide because their audio source does not have Bluetooth. If you have a boombox or TV or other playback device that has a headphone jack or even RCA output connectors, this is the product you are looking for – and is not easy to find anymore.
Turns out my wife’s old boombox that she plays books on was the perfect target to test these headphones. The earpads go over the ear and are nicely sized to go over your complete ear. They are super comfortable. The sound is great and so I lost these headphones immediately to her which is fine. The base unit is upstairs but she went all over the house (first floor, second floor and basement) and did not lose connectivity. I also have used this type of wireless connectivity in an RV, where the built-in stereo and TV units sometimes don’t have Bluetooth and this type of wireless connectivity is very convenient; and allows one person to listen to music without disturbing others so they can read a book etc.
The product comes with the headphones, a base charging/wireless-sending unit, AC adapter, and cables to connect the sending unit to a either a 3.5mm jack or to RCA plugs. You can place the sending/charging unit near your audio source and connect it to power and to the source. The headphones sit in a charging area on top of the sending unit. The headphones can then be worn anywhere and the sending unit sends the signal to them.
I was very impressed with the price and quality of these wireless headphones. I do recommend them if you need to connect a source wirelessly but the source does not have Bluetooth.
Turns out my wife’s old boombox that she plays books on was the perfect target to test these headphones. The earpads go over the ear and are nicely sized to go over your complete ear. They are super comfortable. The sound is great and so I lost these headphones immediately to her which is fine. The base unit is upstairs but she went all over the house (first floor, second floor and basement) and did not lose connectivity. I also have used this type of wireless connectivity in an RV, where the built-in stereo and TV units sometimes don’t have Bluetooth and this type of wireless connectivity is very convenient; and allows one person to listen to music without disturbing others so they can read a book etc.
The product comes with the headphones, a base charging/wireless-sending unit, AC adapter, and cables to connect the sending unit to a either a 3.5mm jack or to RCA plugs. You can place the sending/charging unit near your audio source and connect it to power and to the source. The headphones sit in a charging area on top of the sending unit. The headphones can then be worn anywhere and the sending unit sends the signal to them.

Powerful and Vacuum Feature Improves Taste

This is a very powerful blender. It had no trouble with crushing ice or making a smoothie. The design is really simple and intuitive and that’s what I prefer for a kitchen appliance – you don’t really have to go to the manual to understand how to use it. The accessories were very useful and I found this blender handled all it’s functions really well. The key feature is the FreshVac pump. When you are making a smoothie, I found it best to first blend up all your pieces such as apple, banana, frozen berries and frozen peaches (which is a favorite of mine). Now you sit the pump in its spot on top of the blender. You do not twist it, just set it in place and hit the button on top. It is smart in that once it removes the air and creates a vacuum inside the pitcher, it stops itself. Now you can hit smoothie and it will run a program of blending till it is done. You can also hit Puree or Plulse as you see fit. Now you remove the pump by first pressing a button on the side of the pump and then lift it away. You can release the pressure inside the pitcher by lifting a small seal/flap that the pump had sat on top of. Now pour your smoothie. I had my wife test a version of the same smoothie without using the vacuum and with using the vacuum pump and she did say the smoothie that had the air removed was much better – same as my taste test results – so removing tha air does improve your smoothie taste as we found. You do need 4 AA batteries for the pump.
In addition to the full size pitcher, the blender came with a ‘single serve’ Freshvac cup. You can use this right on the blender in place of the full size pitcher. You blend in it and then can pump the air from this special design ‘single serve’ cup. It turns out that this is a very nice accessory since many times you only want to make a single cup or so of your smoothie.
The product comes with a complete user guide and also a very nice quick-start guide. It also comes with a great recipe booklet that includes recipes that have everything from kale, spinach, flaxseed and of course all kinds of fruit and more.
I highly recommend this device and it now has a nice spot on our counter.

Simple to Install and Use, But Powerful
on November 16, 2018
Posted by: RalphHenry
from Youngsville, NC
You might be intimidated installing a mesh network in your home. If you are using this Linksys Velop system, it is so easy you won’t believe it. I know why it is easy and that is because the firmware and app are written really well and handle the underlying complexities which is what I don’t see all the time. Kudos to Linksys. By the way, Linksys support is wonderful as I have used it in the past and their website is top notch. I didn’t need any support this time to quickly install this three node system using their phone app. Basically you’re told to unhook your old router and then install the main node. A single light changes colors and modes (blinking or solid), to tell you when to hit ‘next’ on your smartphone. I encountered absolutely no hiccups during the installation. My main node is upstairs and I installed a node on the first floor and in the basement. Something I found very nice was that you install one SSID and it doesn’t matter if a device is 5 GHz or 2.4 Ghz, the system figures all that out. When you are done you can use the app for all kinds of info including what devices are connected wireless or even via ethernet directly if you use the extra port on the main unit to connect a PC or whatever, which I did. It will also tell you which of the three nodes a particular device is using. Why is this so easy, the programmers at Linksys did the work for you. I am an engineer/programmer so I can appreciate what they did to make this so simplified. The app also will test the position you put your nodes in and tell you if it is a good spot – also a nice touch.
Once your mesh system is in, you will need to reconnect your devices; even if you use the same SSID and password as you had before; and this is normal. I used the same SSID and password anyway so I didn’t have to update any of my own documentation. It was a snap to reconnect all my devices which includes 6 PC’s, a Nest doorbell, a Chamberlain MyQ garage door opener, an Arlo hub, a Philips Hue hub, a Smarthings hub, a Netgear WNCE2001 WiFi adapter and 4 printers. I have a 4 port switch connected to the WiFi adapter for some devices in the basement that don’t have wireless connectivity. I list these in case you have these or similar devices and I can say they all connected back up no problem whatsoever.
The good thing about the WiFi adapter is once I gave it the new address I could connect the SmartThings, Arlo and Philips hubs to the new mesh system without any configuration changes to these hubs.
The last thing I did was to use speedtest.net to check the download/upload speeds. I do have a 400 Mbps line from Spectrum. Usually my PC’s connected wirelessly with speeds from 20 Mbps to 210 Mbps depending on where in the house the device was and the wireless hardware in a particular device. I tried to get a good comparison by using the same time and day before and after the Linksys Velop system was put in. I also compared speeds using the same servers. It gives a ballpark picture. The news was great. The Velop system doubled the speeds in some cases and was about 10% faster in other cases. One thing I saw was that an Acer laptop that had speeds of about 210 Mbps before, now got 345 MBps during several test runs. I had never seen a wireless device get over 300 MBps in my house so this to me was a sign the mesh network was a big improvement. The Acer laptop does sit only a room away from the main node, but it got almost 50% improvement on an already fast connection.
Here’s a few things that I found interesting; The Velop system displays one Wi-Fi name for the entire tri-band network which I prefer since I let the smarts of the system manage this – I can always use the app to see details. However, with the latest firmware version, you can now use the Velop web interface to give the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands different Wi-Fi names – I didn’t try this though. Another fact is Linksys validated you can use up to 6 nodes – mighty big house though. If all your Linksys Velop nodes are the type that have ethernet ports, you can also hardwire the nodes together for example if you have ethernet cables already throughout your house. For the Velop system I have and reviewed, the main node had 2 ethernet ports and the other nodes you just plug into a wall outlet – simpler and a little less cost. Here’s a good link if you want more research: https://www.linksys.com/us/support-article?articleNum=217439#H9
I definitely recommend this system. Don’t worry about complexity, the smarts in this system make it easy. Also you will get much better connectivity in places like a basement (like I have) and into the garage and out on the porch as well. Every type of device I tried worked with the Velop mesh network and worked better. Great system with great technology.

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.

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.

Or switch to click-to-click mode for precise, line-by-line navigation of lists, slides, images, and menus. Now with 400-4000 adjustable DPI for fast and ultra-precise cursor control.
Which software does the M500s use to customize the buttons? Conflicting information shows Logitech SetPoint if you look under their website, but guidance only goes up to windows 8. Package says Logitech Options but this isn’t On the Options device list
The M500s uses the Logitech Options Software. It is on the site, you may have just missed it for some reason. When you go to Logitech.com/options, click on Support, then Downloads. Now click on downloads in the top menu (I know this seems screwy) but when you hit downloads on this page you will then click on Logitech Options again, then click to download it. It is easy to make miss this. This link will take you directly to the page to download the Logitech Options for Windows 10: https://support.logi.com/hc/en-us/articles/360025297893
