Cool looking with great sound
on July 19, 2022
Posted by: ScubaSteve
This speaker has a different look to it and it makes a huge difference in the sound. This feature is called line-shape diffuser and it compresses the sound through a narrow opening in the front that surprisingly gives it a wider field of sound. Unlike a traditional speaker where the sweat spot of sound is in the very front, line-shape diffuser allows the sound to be as powerful to each side. The bass is great and can be adjusted through the mobile application. The mobile application is actually very useful and allows control over the sound profile or you can use the preset. The application also allows connection to your music library and you can configure favorites. A single speaker sounds great or you can get creative and combine up to 99 additional speakers for an extreme surround sound setup. I plan to buy at least one extra to take advantage of the stereo connection feature. Charge time was quick at the box and the battery life has been excellent using for outdoor cookouts. It is dust and water resistant so you use outside without having to be so delicate with it's use. Sony has took a portable speaker to the next level with this technology and and the look and output will not disappoint.

This controller connected to my Xbox seamlessly and downloading the Revolution X application allowed the four extra thumb controllers on the back to be programmed easily. The controller is slightly larger than the standard Xbox controller and will fit most adult hands well. I believe this may be too large for younger kids. The USB controller cord is plenty long enough. There is no rumble controller because the handles are hollow. This allows the insertion of one of three different weight sizes. I prefer the heaviest which is 16 grams. This allows a good balance against the slight tug of the controller cord's weight. The controller application has prefigured configurations based upon your play style, example FBS or sniper rifles, and this adjusts the sensitive of all controller inputs. The controller sticks are removable and two additional are included. The layout is the same on the front as the standard controller. I really like how the additional bottom buttons, on the back, are flat and do not protrude like most other controllers. It takes a while to get used to this layout, but once you do it is very comfortable and responsive. The trigger sensitive does not have a physical slider controller, but the application configurations allow adjustments. This is my primary controller I am using and it is giving an edge over the competition.

Comfortable and good sound quality
on July 5, 2022
Posted by: ScubaSteve
These headphones look large, but are actually light for the size. The sound quality is great and works seamlessly with Dolby Atmos. The mic pulls out of the left ear piece and pics of your voice clearly. It pushes back in when not in use to neatly stay out of your way. There is no actual mute button so you must push it back in to deactivate. The volume control is a few inches down on the cord and is convenient to control. The cord length is plenty long enough and has a clasp to wrap extra. I mostly play first shooter games on a Xbox Series X. It works well with my Xbox controller and I can hear sounds in the game as if they are actually in the room. The ear pieces are foam and stay cool under long gaming sessions. The head piece is also well padded and does not put pressure on your head. Adjusting the headset is a little awkward when you are not wearing but adjust easily once you put them on. The are made by Alienware and the quality is what you would expect from a major gaming brand. The look is high-tech as well and rounds out your gaming attire.

Easy to use and high quality
on June 30, 2022
Posted by: ScubaSteve
l I manly work from home and use a headset daily for conference calls. This is the second BlueParrott headset I've used and the quality outstanding. The headset is not extremely light, but just heavy enough to feel durable and well made. The fact that you can use one, or both ear cuffs, is a bonus. I prefer to use both ear cuffs for the noise cancelling effect, but can be easily removed if you need to hear the meeting and what is going around you as well. You will need to download the Parrott application to take advantage of all the wireless calling features. The app is functional and easy to use. I plan to mainly use with my PC and will use the app for firmware upgrades. Sound quality is very good and the pic is the just the right size and allows you to be hear clearly. It took about two hours to fully charge out of the box, but with the advertised run time I should only need to charge about every two weeks. The price point is in line with other quality headsets and I highly recommend if you work from home or need a good product to use in the office.

![Norton - 360 Platinum (20 Device) Antivirus Internet Security Software + VPN + Dark Web Monitoring (1 Year Subscription) - Android, Mac OS, Windows, Apple iOS [Digital]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/prescaled/500/500/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/6475/6475032_sd.jpg)
Norton 360 Platinum – for up to 20 devices with Auto-Renewal - provides you powerful layers of protection for your connected devices and online privacy. Your personal devices and information have protection as you bank, shop and post online, both at home and on public Wi-Fi.

Norton is a trusted name in computer security and this software meets all internet security needs. Setup is simple and straightforward. 20 device licenses are included to cover PCs, tablets and cell phone devices. I really like the fact that includes VPN and this option does not need to be purchased separately. Norton's Password Manager is included and it is the best password management I have used across all my devices. Updates and security scans are quick. You have the option to run a Smart Scan that only checks the most frequently vulnerable areas to made scans even quicker. I have been playing around with crypto mining for some time and Norton includes a secure crypto mining option within the software. You are able to mine Ethereum with available unused PC resources. It is not going to make you rich, but the estimate on my PC with a RTX3080 graphics card is around $30 per month with it staying on most all the time. You can make more money crypto mining elsewhere, but it is comforting to know that Norton is securely controlling the process since most other mining options must bypass internet security protocols. The only downside I have experienced is the constant notifications to purchase additional services when smart scans are ran. In additional there is a tab at the bottom for buying additional services that cannot be hidden. The only additional service I am trying is Utilities Ultimate and it is working very well. In summary, Norton 360 Platinum has all the security features to cover all of your devices. There are a lot of additional quality services available that you may or may not want. It would be nice if Norton gave an option to hid the features you are not using.

Comfortable and 7.1 sound clarity
on June 20, 2022
Posted by: ScubaSteve
These headphones are extremely light yet feel really well made. The microphone is just the right length and is easily muted by rotating to the up position. Initial setup is easy by connecting the 7.1 adapter to a USB port on your PC and plugging the headset into the adapter. The software can be downloaded from the Corsair website to take advantage of all of the feathers. The software can also be used to manage additional Corsair devices such as keyboards and mice. I was pleasantly surprised at the sound quality. I had been using headphones with Dolby Atmos and the 7.1 surround was actually more crisp. I mainly play New World and the nature sounds were as realistic as I have every heard on a headset. It gives an edge because you can hear footsteps and everything happening around you. The software gives you the ability to change the sound equalizer to your preferred type. I prefer the FPS shooter preset for gaming. For the price these headphones have features of products that cost much more. I game on multiple devices and use a lot of different headsets. These will be my primary headphones for PC gaming going forward.

Unique and takes some getting use to
on May 9, 2022
Posted by: ScubaSteve
from Orrville, OH
It is rare to find a mouse that is for left-handed use. This fits your hand well, and the buttons are easy to access. It is well made yet relatively light. It glides well over a mousepad or any smooth surface. Movement is fluid and smooth. However, it is shaped very differently than most computer mice. It will take some time to get used to the different shape and feel. I am a gamer and had difficulty getting comfortable with the layout. My wife tried it out for everyday computer tasks and she likes it. My son also tried it on his school work and liked it also. He can use either a right or left-hand mouse, and he prefers this style. I believe I will get accustomed to the different feel and style with more time. It has a required Bluetooth USB adapter, and I prefer a mouse that connects directly to Bluetooth without an adapter due to the limited USB ports on most newer laptops. The adapter is negligible however, and you can barely tell it is there, and it does not get in the way when putting a computer in a case.

A clinically-backed electric toothbrush boasting three modes and 33,000 sonic vibrations/min for a proven clean. Designed with Dental Professional input, the water-resistant BURST Sonic Toothbrush is the brush mouths dream about.
Posted by: ScubaSteve
from Orrville, OH
This product is extremely light yet seems very well made. An exciting feature is a cap when the brush head is removed. This is a valuable item that I have not seen in another electric brush that protects the arm when the brush is removed. Installing and removing the brush is super simple. You push it on and pull it straight off. There is no complicated twisting or buttons to push. The feel is comfortable and the buttons are easy to use. Push to turn on and select normal, pulsing or the highest speed. I like the pulsing feature and gives a good massage to the teeth and gums. The charger comes with a USB adapter that a lot of products exclude. It fully charged in less than an hour out of the box. When the battery is completely dead, it is recommended to charge overnight. This device fits the category niche between cheap electric brushes and high dollar units. I am very well pleased and plan to buy one for each member of my family. You will not find another cordless electric brush that works this well for the price.

Feels sturdy but wears like a youth size
on May 3, 2022
Posted by: ScubaSteve
from Orrville, OH
The headset is stylish and seems to be very well made. The vertical adjustment is stiff but holds in place. Sound quality is good but it would be nice if it supported Dolby Atmos. The mic is clear with no feedback. Mic adjustment up and down to mute is smooth also. I have a small head but the headset just does not feel right. It seems way too small even though it is comfortable. The earmuffs provide adequate coverage over the ear but the overall frame seems out of proportion. My nine year old son tried them as well and he was not happy with the fit. He has a big head for his age and he said they were too small as well. If these were advertised toward young children I believe they work well and be a five star product. They connect well to an xBox controller and feel they should be targeted at the 4 - 8 year old age group and include volume limited protection. If you like a headset with a small feel, these may be for you. They are affordable, but there are many other items in the same price range that fit better and support Dolby Atmos.

Giant comfort in a small box
on February 12, 2022
Posted by: ScubaSteve
It is amazing that a full size mattress comes in such a small box. Once you take it out, it transforms into a full size mattress in a few yours. The firmness is just right, not too soft and not too hard. All of the edges are soft and smooth and provides firm and supportive support on your back, side or stomach. The material remains cool throughout the night. This is a perfect solution for someone who needs to move a mattress into a small place such as an apartment or dorm.

Enhance your multimedia experience with this 15.6-inch Dell G7 gaming laptop. Its VR-ready NVIDIA GeForce GTX graphics board provides seamless, stunning images on the Full HD display, and its hexa-core Intel Core i7 processor and 8GB of RAM handle extended multitasking. Run applications efficiently with the 256B solid-state drive of this Dell G7 gaming laptop.
Will the Windows Hp Mixed Reality be compatiable with this laptop? If so, would games such as “Beat Saber” run at a decent frame rate? Thank you very much
Mixed Reality should run OK on this laptop, however I suggest at least 16 GBs of RAM to run smoothly with all VR applications.

Conquer virtual enemies with this Dell Inspiron desktop. It has an AMD Radeon graphics card with 8GB of dedicated video memory for fast image rendering, and its powerful AMD Ryzen 7 processor and 16GB of DDR4 RAM run multiple programs, games and browsers simultaneously. This Dell Inspiron desktop has a 1TB hard drive for plenty of long-term game storage.
What is the power supply for this pc
My build only has a 375 watt power supply, which I was rather disappointed in considering it is branded as a gaming PC.
