Great Improvment over some older electric shavers
on October 18, 2017
Posted by: ViperElectric
from Knoxville, TN, USA
I have always had issues with electric shavers leaving me itchy or with very large red areas after use. This shaver after several uses though does not have that problem. Also this shaver seems to give a closer shave without having to press harder to get to the shorter stubble. It even does well in thicker stubble that you may have let grow out for a day or two. The only issue I really had and its not really an issue more of a convenience thing is I sometimes had to make several passes in different directions to get as close a shave as some other shavers. I tried the circular motion they show in the instruction booklet but I still had to make a pass with the shaver facing a different way to get all of the arias. Overall though its a much more comfortable shave at the end of the day so its worth the extra pass or two to get it sorted out. Also the cleaner/charger base is a nice touch, I don't have to worry about remembering to plug it in as the place it sits when not is use charges it, and even if you don't use the base for cleaning the shaver is still really easy to clean out which is a nice touch when you travel with it. Also it comes with a nice partially hard carrying case, which is also great for travel as well. I only wish the case had a little extra room in it so you could store the charge as well as the shaver in it. Overall nice electric shaver.

Better than I expected
on October 18, 2017
Posted by: ViperElectric
from Knoxville, TN, USA
Overall this blender is better than I thought it would be. The build quality seems much more sturdy than the old ninja blenders that had the motor on top of the pitcher. Also this thing is way bigger than I was expecting it to be. Size wise it is much more in line with a professional blender from some other makers. The blender also does not seem to be lacking in power at all which is a good thing. A few complaints would be that out of the box it has that new electrical motor smell which can kind of be overwhelming but after a few uses that seems to go away. Also if you are trying to blend stuff that is a little thicker you might have to stop the blender and mix it up a little as it tends to puff up and leave the blade spinning in free air with the mixture bubbled around it. This may just be me not using it properly but it did seem like an odd thing to have happen in a blender. Overall though I think it works well.

Great Headphones & Noise Canceling
on September 23, 2017
Posted by: ViperElectric
from Knoxville, TN, USA
When it comes to noise canceling headphones I think Bose kind of invented the market so it would make sense that these headphones are great at doing just that canceling out outside noise. The build quality is such that even with the power turned off on the headset you still get a decent amount of muffling on outside noises. Once you power them on they almost all but completely get rid of outside noise. The sound quality on the Bluetooth side is as good or better than some of my other good Bluetooth headsets although at times it can sound a little hollow, but I believe that is because I am not use to having noise canceling on a headset. As for the "google assistant button" it works well enough although on iPhone it requires the google assistant application to be open and the usefulness is a little limited for the iPhone version. The android version works just like you had used it on your phone so the feature works well. You can with the Bose Connect app change the new button to control background noise cancellation level from low to high to off as well if you are not going to use the assistant feature which is nice. I do hope that maybe in the future they give you the ability to active siri via this button as well for those of use who may not use an android phone on a daily basis though. Otherwise everything about the headset is good. You get a very nice carrying case with the small USB charging cable and a standard headphone cord for those of us who may not want to use Bluetooth for audio. It's a nice touch. You can use the headphones with just the headphone cable plugged in no power required although they do sound better with the power on still. Overall this is a very nice pair of headphones and if your looking for noise canceling it is a good option in my opinion.

I have to say as far as network attached storage devices this drive is one of the easiest I have ever set up and used. The drive looks good enough that I don't care to leave it on my desk next to the router and overall it is very quiet. If you're looking for an easy to use device this is most likely the way you want to take. However if your uncomfortable with your personal information being available outside of your home network this may not be the best choice and you should stick to the USB external drive variety. As far as the web page for access outside of your home, I think it is one of the best ones I have used so far. Its very intuitive and it even takes all the contents and anything that is a picture shows up in a nice picture tab, no need to have a specific folder for all of your photos. This allowed me to easily find duplicate photos because of the photo page and even find photos that we had forgotten about over the years of 1+TB of pictures. Overall good device. Looking forward to see how well it holds up in the long run.

Navigate your games with this Logitech wireless mouse. Its optical sensor maximizes accuracy for a smoother gaming experience, and its 1 ms report rate reduces lag, so you don't fall behind in competition mode. This Logitech wireless mouse has a charging system that lets you power it wirelessly, so it doesn't interrupt your playing time.
Posted by: ViperElectric
This is one of the most comfortable mice I have used for gaming or any other sort of desktop work. The shape at first seems a little plane and even a little large but as soon as you find how you want to hold it, it is evident that it is designed to be comfortable. I have this mouse in the white which I was affraid would get dirty very easy, but so far that has not been an issue. The texture of the mouse is also a little different for someone who may not have had an expensive gaming mouse before. The sides are a nice soft touch rubbery material but the top is very smooth which makes it easy to grip the mouse with your thumb and side of your hand yet still slide your fingers around and be comfortable when using it. The biggest thing that I will warn people about when getting this mouse is if you have never had a High DPI very sensitive mouse before this one will take a lot of getting use to or you will have to turn down the DPI. The mouse pointer can seem shaky or darty at times because of how accurate and fast the sensor is. But once you get use to it, it is very nice and easy to use. It is also nice that they give you the option to run this mouse with the cord attached for power if you forget to charge it. Finally the cable that comes with the mouse is a very nice weighted braided cable. Right out of the box it was nice and flexible and not super stiff like some other braided cables i have used. It's a nice finishing touch for a very nice mouse.

Good headphones, and comfortable
on July 10, 2017
Posted by: ViperElectric
I would like to start off with the fact that these headphones are very very comfortable with the standard size insert on them. As with most in ear headphones these have replaceable inserts but honestly the standard ones that come on the headphones out of the box fit perfectly and where very comfortable compared to some other in ear headphones. The sound is good given the size and price range on the headphones but if i had any complaint it would be that the sound seemed to be lacking a little fullness. Mids and treble seemed OK but lows where lacking, but not so much that the sound was bad. They sound very good in fact if you don't typically listen to bass heavy tracks. As for the microphone that was in them its passable as a headset for your phone.

Immerse yourself in rich, vibrant sound with this 2.1-channel Sony sound bar. It has a two-way wireless subwoofer that delivers booming bass and an S-Force PRO front surround for a theater-like audio experience. This Sony sound bar uses Bluetooth connectivity to pair easily with home theater and other audio devices.
Posted by: ViperElectric
This sound bar works better than I though it would out of the box. The fact that it supports the Audio Return Channel (ACR) HDMI is a nice touch as I only need 1 cable to connect the sound bar to everything that is attached to my TV. Plus it still has the optical digital audio in as well as USB for available inputs. The Sound is very clean and full, I have heard some sound bars that tend to be a little tinny and lacking in the mid range but this one seems to cover all of the bases and at most volumes is very clean and clear. There is a clear dialog setting that is supposed to help you hear voice in those movies that have lower voice levels but when turned on I don't notice much of a difference. The only real downside I can see is if you have a smaller TV this sound bar is likely going to be longer than your TV and if you have an entertainment stand that fits the TV the sound bar will be oversized in that case. Otherwise this is a great choice if your looking for decent sound to replace the bad TV speakers your TV might have.

Add an audio home theater experience to favorite programs with this 2.1-channel Sony sound bar. Its S-Force PRO Front Surround technology adds a cinematic feel to movie sounds, and it provides wireless control from your Bluetooth device via the SongPal app. Set the wireless subwoofer of this Sony sound bar on sofa mode to optimize bass details in under-the-couch setups.

Good overall, but lacking little things
on May 6, 2017
Posted by: ViperElectric
I want to start off with what I think is the biggest flaw of this sound system, the very annoying lack of inputs available. Be warned now if you get this unit that it only has 3 input methods, an optical audio link, a standard headphone plug type in, and Bluetooth. The latter is really only useful if you want to pair the sound bar with your phone for audio output (and possibly an apple TV or other TV box if it supports Bluetooth sound out). The one major thing that is missing for an input is HDMI in with ARC support. The lack of any HDMI inputs or passthroughs means you may be limited on how you can use the sound bar if your TV is of the type that does not have an optical audio out. Please note however that you can purchase a converter if your TV has digital audio out to go from the digital audio coaxial out to the optical audio coaxial in but they cost about 30-50 dollars and its an added expense. I think this issue could have easily been avoided if they would have included either HDMI or coaxial digital audio in as well as the other connection type. Due to the lack of input types I had to find a creative way to get the audio off of the devices I use to the sound bar but once I got that figured out everything else seemed worth it.
Sound Quality on this unit is except-able for the price range but not perfect. At times the included wireless sub seems to add a bit of echo to the sound making some sounds seem a bit like they are in an amphitheater. This can be avoided if you leave the sub near the TV though that seems like a shame considering they market a "Couch Mode" with the unit being wireless. Obviously location in the room and surrounding objects can affect the way the sub sounds so pick an area of your room that won't offer lots of reflective sound surfaces and you will probably get better sound out of the sub. As for the sound bar itself I enjoyed the several different modes the bar offers for music, movies, and night mode. Overall quality was good if not a little tinny at times but it pairs well with the sound of the sub, and for a 2.1 channel system fills a surprisingly large room with understandable audio even at higher volumes. The only think I wish this unit had on the audio side was the ability to have your own mix adjustments for how you like to listen to music. For some music the mids seems to be lacking at times and it would have been nice to be able to turn down the treble just a bit.
If your looking for a simple 2.1 system to use in place of bad TV speakers this is a good unit to choose. Since getting this unit we have started using it all the time instead of the TV speakers just because the sound is that much better, and if your TV supports optical audio out hooking up the bar is very very simple. Just give the bar power attache the single optical audio cable (which was included in the box, a very nice touch by Sony) and you are good to go. Very quick and easy.

Overall good wireless speaker
on March 29, 2017
Posted by: ViperElectric
Overall the build quality of the speaker seems to be top notch. I like the soft touch plastic that they use for the majority of the speaker. The speaker also has a decent weight to it however this large model would not be the best to carry around all the time as it is fairly hefty and larger than some other portable wireless speakers.
For sound quality overall the sound was fairly good. The bass seems good especially when running the bass boost that comes as a feature of the speaker. However it does seem that some of the higher frequencies seem to be a little muddy at times, and this issue is made worse if you run the included bass boost.
The software app that is included for controlling the color of the LED's and patterns that the LED's flash in is unfortunately not very polished. It is easy to navigate but seems to be lacking some basic color options like a solid single color without the speaker cones lit up in bright white. It would have been nice to have an option that does not pulse and has the options to shut this extra white light in the center off. The added DJ software is also more of a gimmick than anything actually useful. If you are sensitive to strobe light effects I would recommend staying away from the "Rave" setting for the lighting options.
Overall though for a wireless speaker battery life seems to be good, connection quality is also good, and other than its slightly larger size it's not too bad to set poolside or on your kitchen counter while you do some house cleaning.

Good sound but terrible ear bud covers
on January 27, 2017
Posted by: ViperElectric
Ok I'm going to start with my biggest gripe about these headphones. The ear bud covers, the ones that you can replace to change the size to better fit your ear, are some of the worst I have ever seen on an in ear headphone. I attempted to change them out for a size that would better fit my ears and after messing with them in frustration for over 20 minutes I had to give up. I did eventually go back and try again later and after another 20 minutes or so I finally managed to get them changed. Getting the old ones off was easy enough but getting the new ones on was the worst experience I have ever had with a headset. The problem is they expect you to stretch the new ones over the ear bud but the opening does not exactly make it easy and if you have larger hands like me it's almost impossible to get the new ones on without ripping them.
As far as the heart beat monitoring and the sound those where both good which is the only saving grace this headset had after such an awful experience with the ear bud covers. If it where not for that one fact these would have been better rated. The design and fit is not too bad after getting the proper size ear buds on the headphones.
Overall I can't say I would recommend these to someone else as most people are likely going to need to change out the earbuds to get a proper fit and both the explanation of how to change them and the act of actually changing them is one of the worst I have ever dealt with.

I'll be very honest with this one. If you plan on using this computer for anything more than simple word documents and some simple internet use look other places. I would recommend getting the Core i5 version of this computer before you get this one.
Pro's:
Overall design is well thought out. The device is clean and nicely wrapped in a cloth like material that gives is a little bit of room style. I would not mind having this computer sitting next to my TV or even right on my desk as it has a very welcoming look. The sound out of the single speaker on top of the device from the little bit I have used it so far seems really good for such a small setup as well.

Unfortunately this computer is very very under powered. It is nice that they include 8GB of ram but ram is not everything. This computer tends to start dragging and hiccuping any time you try to do more than one thing. I could not watch a video and surf other web pages without response times being slow and sluggish. The i3 processor is just not up to the game of driving both the monitor and the computer. The i5 version has a dedicated video card and i feel that this version would have benefited from that arrangement as well. But for cost savings i can see why they did not include that.

I honestly feel that the i3 processor in this computer just is not enough for someone who may use a computer for more than just the occasional word document or email. It chugs in a bad way when you attempt to do anything more. If all you want to do is load a single page and play music over the included speaker then I would say you are ok, but more than that and be warned it will feel really slow.

You can connect the panels from two kits together yes, I just don't think you can have two controllers in the same setup so you would need to omit the controller panel from one set. Otherwise, the panels can all be added together.
