Fun Camera, Especially with B/W Film
on June 1, 2018
Posted by: RalphHenry
from Youngsville, NC
This instant camera is not for all types of events nor is it for detail work where you need a crisp image; however if you want the fun of creating your photo and passing it around at a party or a wedding, then it is a really useful camera. I think some bad reviews are caused because the user had an expectation of picture quality similar to an expensive digital SLR camera. If that is what you need, then this camera is not for you. If you just want a simple easy to use and enjoyable camera to play around with, then you will like this camera. One other note before I get into some of the details of my review: Many people found it troublesome that the viewfinder did not show you the actual view from through the lens. Polaroid has made an update that is an extension to the viewfinder that solved this problem. Be sure you purchase one with the extended viewfinder.
This camera will accept i-Type or 600 film. 600 film has a battery in it which you don’t need since this camera has an internal re-chargeable lithium battery. The battery is good on one charge for 15-20 8-shot packs of film. Just get the i-Type film which is cheaper. I did see that Polaroid Originals warns against using the film in temperatures colder than 55 degrees Fahrenheit.
You’ll need to shoot from 2’ to infinity so close ups are not something you can do. It has a built-in flash and you need to use the flash at all times indoors. Outdoors, to turn off the flash, you can simply hold a button on the back of the camera which is in-line with the shutter button on the front so it is easy to do. It has a self-timer which is necessary to get the shooter in a party shot and it was fun to use.
The color photos are sort of tinged a tan-yellow color for all images whether exposed indoors or outdoors. You do need to understand that once you take a photo you need to let it develop about 10 minutes before you can expose it to light. So ‘instant’ just means you don’t need a printer or a photography studio to see the photo you took, but you don’t see it right away. Again as long as you understand this, it is still a ‘hoot’ to use these cameras at parties – you just make a game of placing the photo face down for a few minutes at least. One easy way I found to protect the image is to turn the camera upside down while you remove the photo from the black roll-up tongue that covers it, then place it face-down. The black roll-up tongue goes back in the camera by itself once you slip it off the end of the photo.
The included neck strap is a little difficult to assemble, but it does hold securely once you attach it to the camera. There is a ¼ 20 tripod mount on the bottom which is very useful when doing a timer shot. A very nice manual is included and you do need to read it, it tells you how to know battery status and many details that are simple enough, but you need to learn them. By the way, there is a way to do multiple exposures with this camera, just Google it on the web, and you’ll see how.
Now here is why I would buy this camera personally: the black/white film is super nice. The picture is much clearer with more detail than the color film; and the retro look of b/w is very cool I think. I love this camera anyway and this b/w film makes it really wonderful.

Audio Video Sync Problem
on May 30, 2018
Posted by: RalphHenry
from Youngsville, NC
These headphones are slightly larger than their sibling the SP600N. However these buds come with a carrying case that is also their charging berth. This little charging unit also carries added hours of charging once it is also charged when you use it to charge up the buds. Another difference is that the WFSP700N buds do not have a wire connecting them, which is nice for me since I prefer not to have any wires dangling.
The pairing, phone and noise cancelling functions really work great. These earbuds have a very solid feel and they do have the little ‘wing’ that is very comfortable and does indeed hold the earbuds firmly in place. Since they don’t have any wires there is a single button on each bud that provides the switching on/off, pairing, etc. The left bud provides the basic functions and the right bud provides the phone functions. The buds are clearly marked ‘R’ or ‘L’ which is nice since some earbuds make the designation hard to find. The sound is fantastic, I was impressed with the bass response especially. They are sealed quite well and you will have no problem with sweat or rain. They stayed put while jogging.
Although the sound is great, there was a delay between the video and audio when watching YouTube movie clips or music videos. I tried on Desktop, Laptop and Android phone, all had the same problem. I checked my other wireless earbuds and they had no delay. I downloaded the ‘Support by Sony’ app to my Android cell phone and it found the ear buds so I checked for new firmware but it said no downloads available. Either my earbuds are defective or there is a design flaw. I can’t recommend these rather expensive earbuds. But you may like them if you don’t want to watch videos, and just hear music and other audio.

Solid Feel, Stay Put, Nice Sound
on May 28, 2018
Posted by: RalphHenry
from Youngsville, NC
The SONY SP600N are among the elite of wireless in-ear-buds. At one time most ear-buds had identical right and left design and basically were a button that kept falling out of your ears when you jogged. The button types are fine if you are lounging or just slowly moving about. These Sony buds are the newest design with the ‘little wings’ on each ear-bud. Each fits it’s own ear and you do get several insert sizes to try so that you can get the perfect fit. These ear-buds were the easiest to insert, the little wing is soft but strong and it tucks somewhat automatically inside your ear so that you now have a solid fit but very comfortable. I jogged around a few miles with no trouble. I do recommend you gently wipe sweat off after a workout, and they are water resistant. You can wear eye-glasses easily and comfortably as well with this design. The ear-buds are very clearly marked right and left. I don’t take that for granted and some buds can irritate you if the markings are too subtle.
The sound is one of the best I have found. In addition, you have noise cancelling or you can allow ambient sound in so you can listen to conversations and music at the same time. The controls are very intuitive and of course you have a microphone for cell phone calls.
Pairing went super easy both for phone and for my laptop. You can also pair with NFC. I liked that you can adjust the volume easily and you can wear the wire that connects the buds either behind your neck or in front – very well designed. They feel solid but not too heavy. You don’t get an AC charger but you do get the micro-USB to USB cable. I would highly recommend these ear-buds and the price for what you get is excellent.

So Comfortable And Great Sound
on May 19, 2018
Posted by: RalphHenry
from Youngsville, NC
The Jabra Elite 45e earbuds are terrific. First of all they are super comfortable and easy to insert in your ear. The shape of the ear piece is kind of amazing: There is a very soft center portion and another soft portion that is like a little gently curved wing that tapers, this ‘taper’ fits perfectly in your ear to hold the bud in place real solid but you can hardly feel the bud in your ear. There are several sizes of inner pieces and tapered pieces that come nicely packaged with these buds. The design is not your old round insert and it’s clever how the shape uses the way an ear is shaped to hold it firmly but without pressure – just great. Now the setup is instant. You hit the multi-function button and the Bluetooth pairing starts, as soon as I had opened the pairing on my PC, it showed up and paired in a second. Jabra has Bluetooth pairing down. I have several different earbuds paired to different computers and none paired faster. The sound is superb, I’m pleased that it is so good from such a tiny speaker, again the new designs are pushing wireless earbuds to new great levels in sound reproduction and this Jabra pair of buds sounded really wonderful. Of course you have a microphone and it also works very nicely, I recorded some things on the PC and the sound was perfect. The same quick process and excellent sound occurred when I paired these buds with my Android phone. They stay charged for a few days easily depending on your usage. I highly recommend these earbuds, you can rest on the bed with them or you can jog with them – they won’t fall out and your tunes will sound super.

Great Price Performance Choice
on April 30, 2018
Posted by: RalphHenry
from Youngsville, NC
The Acer Nitro is a really beautiful PC inside and out. It is not a top of the line gaming PC, for that you would pay at least 5 times as much. However for many of us, it is a very capable gaming machine and a powerful PC worth every penny. The specs are great, 8th generation core-i5 and super wireless plus a 7200 rpm 1TB drive. It also has some useful software such as Acer Nitrosense to set your performance and fan speeds etc. You also get Acer Care Center which I thought was very well designed to help you handle recovery management, updates and other tune-up options – very useful especially to create an ISO image for your recovery if needed.
I wanted to comment on the gaming capabilities so I did a comparison against an older core-i5 machine without the powerful NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 graphics that is packed in this very reasonably priced PC. Using the Unigine Heaven Benchmark software I did a quick look at the overall score and FPS numbers, (there are dozens of stats you could determine and many settings; but this is a simpler comparison). This Acer beat the pretty nice (and more expensive) AIO I had by about 35% better average FPS. However what’s better is that I cloned the HDD with a 1TB SSD, popped that into the Acer Nitro and got more than 50% better FPS at 57 FPS and a max FPS of 112. Sometimes gamers want 60 FPS so this machine with an SSD filled the bill. By the way, it is very easy to remove 1 screw underneath to get to the HDD, from there it’s simple to replace with the cloned SSD. Some PC’s require the spudgie type tools to peel off the keyboard to get to the disk drive but this is nicely designed so you can get easily to the drive and memory as well. I use EASEUS TODO which is free to clone the drive and this software works great.
I should mention I did not overclock the PC, I would not recommend that for this quad core (8 way processor). But you could do it and use the Coolsense to drive the fans at max speed (there are two fans). Better to step up your gaming PC machine since this is not a processor designed to handle being overclocked as I understand.
Finally, if you want to use this PC for regular word processing and other non-gaming tasks it is fabulous, especially if you upgrade to the SSD, although the 7200 rpm drive worked fast as well. It is super quick to bring up Word or Excel etc.; which is expected since as mentioned if you look at your Device Manager you'll see eight processors chugging away at 2.3 GHz. The screen is beautiful with IPS and full HD. Also backlit keyboards are so nice to have on planes etc. and this has the backlit keyboard as well – a sharp looking and performing PC.
I would highly recommend this beast for the average-guy-gaming and for anyone wanting a very nice price-performance payback. Acer folks got it right I think with the hardware working together to make this a great PC and a great PC value for your money.

Glitches in Function and Poor Support
on April 18, 2018
Posted by: RalphHenry
from Youngsville, NC
This is a tough one to review since the product did not perform as advertised, but part of the functions worked fine. I did contact Turtle Beach with a problem and got a problem assigned through their website; but did not get any reply - that's not so good. I’ve waited 5 days but that does include two weekend days – I don’t expect a reply and their support info says don’t enter a second problem case it just slows things down.
The setup guide is not clear as to a key point when using the Turtle Beach Audio Hub. I wanted to use the product with a Windows 10 PC so naturally I set the little selector switch to PS4/PC. By the way, the Guide does not tell you about the Audio HUB which is needed to personalize some of the settings such as ‘Announcer Effect’ {which is just setting how much reverb (and was a requirement for me)}. Before you do anything it is best to go to this YouTube video to understand how to get your microphone configured: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R3jPpinpD3Y In fairness the software of the Audio Hub does tell you to switch to XBOX but since you are using a PC, you wonder if there is a connection problem but in fact it’s just the way the design point was set, i.e. you always use the XBOX setting to change parameters for the mic (not good programming nor engineering).
The aforementioned video is a good video and does mention that to setup via the Audio Hub regardless of platform you set the selector to XBOX. Once you setup the settings if you want to connect the Stream Mic to your Windows PC, you need to switch this same selector back from XBOX to PS4/PC. Okay who designed that? – not good thinking as I said before. But once you get past that you will also find that when you are in the Turtle Beach Audio Hub, and choose ‘Info’, none of the links work, seems the programming is incomplete. The setting tab stuff does work and that is the most important process. You’d also use this Audio Hub to update firmware.
Now I can overcome all those things and I went to make a Podcast with a lot of reverb in my voice. By the way you can set other qualities of your voice and mic levels etc., via this Audio Hub utility – that’s nice. You can connect a headset to the mic and monitor what you are recording. I used a simple movie maker app and recorded a session. In my headset I could hear the reverb and it was nice and the effect I wanted. However, when I played back the recording there was no reverb. I carefully ensured that the recording and playback devices were set to the Turtle Beach Stream Mic for Windows (you can do this by right clicking your speaker icon on the bottom taskbar. I tried several recordings but no luck; I always heard the reverb in my headset, but it was not recorded – that’s not expected per the advertising.
The reason I still gave 2 stars is because pricewise it is a solid little microphone – it is not a professional microphone but it is less costly. For podcasts, you may as well use the mic that’s on your laptop or desktop in my opinion. This mic does allow you to change the pickup direction from front only, to front and back (for an interview for example), and also 360 pickup as well (eg. a meeting), and also has noise cancelling. Most of the settings are intuitive except for the puzzling reason for the XBOX setting. It does have a sturdy base and also came with an adapter to attach it to a boom. I would look further for a better microphone if you can afford it that would function better since between it’s hardware and software – there appear to be too many glitches.

Great Improvement Over My Old Antenna
on April 8, 2018
Posted by: RalphHenry
from Youngsville, NC
I installed this antenna on top of a bookcase in a second story bedroom near the outside window. It is simple to install but you do need to be careful to connect the wiring as the included diagram shows you so that the amplifier is properly installed in series with the 75 ohm cable. You will need to provide the amplifier with power either from a powered USB port on a computer or the TV itself; or from the supplied 120V USB power adapter. You do get a short 75 ohm cable and also included is a 10 foot 75 ohm cable with a 75 ohm ‘female to female splice’ if needed. Mounting hardware is included as well as a small peg you can use as a stand for the antenna. A nice touch is a right angle splice that makes it really easy to connect your cable to the antenna – great.
I attached the antenna to a Sling AirTV box. With my old amplified antenna from the same spot in the room, I received 20 channels. Also using my old amplified antenna I experienced considerable pixilating and audio problems as well, depending on the channel selected. Here’s the good news. The Mohu Beam Premium Amplified HDTV Antenna scanned in 30 channels and the picture and audio were both crystal clear across all channels. I threw the old (it was about 8 years old) antenna in the trash. This antenna is doing the job great, and now I have 30 free over-the-air TV channels in this bedroom. I should note that when I installed the new antenna on an inner wall, I lost some of the channels and the clarity, so you do need to ensure you figure out an optimal location for the antenna. You can even locate it in an attic and run the wire down to the amplifier and the TV.
This antenna is priced moderately based on the results it produced. I can recommend it highly.

Comfort, Great Sound and Stay Put
on April 5, 2018
Posted by: RalphHenry
from Youngsville, NC
I have several pairs of earbuds both wireless and wired, so I took the opportunity to compare some of them with this item. The wired pair is from a major brand and they were just okay in terms of comfort, but they did not have the soft rubber type ear inserts so I expected that. The sound was okay but not as much bass as I wanted. I also compared with a different JLAB product Epic Executive wireless buds (with noise cancelling) which have sort of ‘cushion’ flaps or fins which catch inside your ear and then finally this item (JLAB Epic Sport Wireless) which have the soft ear inserts but also go over top of your ears. I can tell you that either one is super comfortable. This item is called sport and that’s because the over the ear would seem to have a better chance of staying in your ear while jogging; however the flaps style also stayed fine during jogging, but not quite as well. Also all three kinds could be used easily with glasses. I did not expect the over the ear type (the JLAB Epic Sport i.e. this item) to accomodate the glasses as well, but they did just fine (in fact I’m wearing them while I write this with glasses). The sound from both JLABs blew the wired pair away so my further comments will compare only the JLAB buds. Both had a great and easy method of charging, both kept the charge fine. My preference would be the ‘cushion’ flap style only because they were easier to put in my ears than the over the ear type (this item). Sound wise they were similar, but noise cancelling is a desirable feature on planes which this item did not have, but the ‘cushion’ flap style did.
This item has three equalizer modes which included: Bass Boost, Balanced and a so-called Signature mode with amp’d up vocals and bass which I liked best.
Bluetooth connectivity is a snap with either JLAB and I did it easily with a desktop, an android phone and also to a Sling AirTV box – nice. For running I use the over the ear (this item) and for computer work or on planes I love the JLAB Epic Executive. This item for me was easily 5 star. I would highly recommend this item i.e. the JLAB Epic Sport Wireless. JLAB has their act together for excellent comfort, super sound, Bluetooth connectivity and ease of controls and charging – great.

Deep Mellow Bass - Beautiful
on March 26, 2018
Posted by: RalphHenry
from Youngsville, NC
For a relatively small speaker, this has beautiful bass. This one is bigger than its cousin the XB31, so sound is a bit more robust. This unit is another solid product from Sony in terms of construction with quality materials and well thought out design. It can be charged either over USB cable or the supplied AC Adapter. It paired easily with my desktop, laptop, cell phone and also with a Sling AirTV box. Everything is simple to do. The speaker is great for enhancing your PC speaker situation – beautiful sound, lots of bass. A nice feature is the lights, you get lines of light and strobes; and it is not overdone. I liked the lights while I watched TV – it seemed to cheer me up – great.
It also has a nice audio-in jack for devices you can’t pair it with. It has a 24 hour charge and I verified this by letting it die, then recharging. There is a feature that younger folks and/or party folks would enjoy where you can chain up to 100 of these together using Bluetooth. Nice feature if you consider the tremendous sound and flashing lights that would be produced for a party atmosphere. It is waterproof and can be submerged without hurting its electronics or materials – though I didn’t try this. Interesting app called Sony Music Center can be installed which I did. I did not opt for buying songs but I did utilize the app to easily pair the speaker with my Android phone. It does have a microphone so you can make calls using it.
If you like technical specs you might have noticed it has IP67 rating – and this is something very good. I didn’t know what an IP67 rating was exactly so I looked it up. This is called the Ingress Protection rating system which shows the degrees of protection from solid objects (like dust) and liquids. The first number refers to the protection against solid objects, if the first number is 0, there is no protection provided. A number 5 refers to limited protection against dust. The number 6 is for total protection against dust. The second number of the IP rating system refers to protection against liquids. A ‘0’ indicates no protection, while a 7 refers to protection against immersion between 15 centimeters and 1 meter. So this unit is outstanding, there you have that. Another spec of interest is LDAC4. This means it will transmit three times more data than conventional Bluetooth audio so you are not going to get blips and skips while listening – also very nice.
Music played by YouTube was much clearer and more Bass. Lastly there is a really well done Help Guide you can refer to online. The basic set up instructions came with it. But you will want to go out to http://rd1.sony.net/help/speaker/srs-xb31/v1/h_zz/ and check out the all the functions and instructions. One example is you can use this speaker with the Sony Music Center app for connection to SIRI and Android voice assist units – pretty neat.
Overall I would highly recommend this unit for its sound quality, lights and its functionality.

Comfort and Great Sound & Affordable
on March 25, 2018
Posted by: RalphHenry
from Youngsville, NC
Very comfortable headphones. The first thing I check is the comfort level, no matter how great a sound, if the headphones aren’t comfortable then nothing else matters to me. Along with the soft nice feel which is a product of the ear pads and how the headphones gently hug your head, these headphones also do have super sound.
The ease of connection with Bluetooth is getting more refined by all devices and this product is no exception. I paired it easily to my laptop, desktop android phone and also a Sling AirTV box. No troubles at all. I also paired it to my RAM truck just in case I would want to use the headphones in the truck – nice.
The Digital Sound Enhancement Engine did seem to work nicely as the sound was more robust than other head phones. I liked the battery 35 hour charge and it really does last. You can use with a cell phone as it has a microphone.
The noise cancelling was superb, sometimes noise cancellation seems to muffle the music but not with these headphones and that was really better than I expected. It was great for use when my dehumidifier came on (I tested that to see).
I felt the controls were logical and simple. I don’t want too many settings to play with for headphones and this pair has a nice plain but perfectly usable controls – nice.
You get a charging cord and also included is a useful Male-to-Male 3.5mm Cable if you want to go wired (or run out of battery power) – this is a nice extra not often included and you can use it for other devices as well.
I would highly recommend these headphones as more value for the price than many higher end models I have tried. The key here is the right design points in terms of comfort, beautiful sound and they have the great added noise cancelling capability.

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.

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.

The Logitech Advanced Corded Mouse M500s with hyper-fast scrolling for increased productivity. The scroll wheel lets you fly through long documents and Web pages with a single flick. 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
