Amazing Small Kitchen Appliance w/ One Small Gripe

Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*****Review*****
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Are you tired of having different kitchen appliances all over your kitchen? Taking up unnecessary space and having them only be beneficial for just one task? Well… If you are an individual that loves to cook or knows someone that loves to cook and want to make their time in the kitchen more efficient yet enjoyable; look no further… I present to you the Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer. This thing of beauty is constructed of brushed stainless steel and this specific model comes in the color of black truffle. The appearance of this 11 in 1 smart cooking kitchen appliance looks fantastic and premium in my kitchen. Not to mention this kitchen appliance also has an LCD display which gives it an extra “wow” factor. Still not amused? What about an integrated oven light that automatically turns on when your food is done cooking? Or perhaps you want to turn it on randomly to check on your food? Breville has you covered and on top of that the integrated oven light can be replaced just like your regular large oven.
Looks aren’t everything though here ladies and gentlemen. As mentioned, the Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer comes with 11 preset functions: Toast, Bagel, Bake, Roast, Broil, Pizza, Cookies, Air Fry, Warm and Slow Cook! It doesn’t stop there though… The Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer also has a nice range of temperature that you can select from between 120 degrees and 500 degrees fahrenheit. What this means is that with low temperatures you can slow cook or if you prefer you can crank the temperature up and air fry or broil whatever it is you’re cooking. On top of that, you are also equipped with super convection so that the hot air circulates around your food so that it lessens your cooking time and air frys (crisps) your food perfectly. What I thoroughly enjoy is the “smart” feature that Breville implemented into this kitchen appliance. With the Element IQ System built into the unit; it has sensing capabilities to measure temperatures so that it eliminates cold spots which means it leaves your food cooked perfectly inside and out. I had the opportunity to cook everything from frozen cornish hens, frozen dino nuggets, frozen french fries, frozen fish sticks, frozen garlic bread, frozen pizza down to fresh chicken breast, fresh steaks, fresh chicken wings, potatoes, brussel sprouts, bagels, toast, muffins, and cookies. Okay fine… my wife did the muffins and cookies; I’m not a baker. I didn’t once have any problems cooking any of my dishes/food. All the functions did what they were designed to do and my kids loved their frozen foods nice and crispy without the added oil. You’re probably wondering… what about cleaning it? Breville has you covered here for the most part because they’ve made it so that the interior is non-stick! The accessories that came included (except the air frying basket) are all easy to clean. All you need is a little bit of dish soap and an ordinary dish sponge and you’re good to go. My only gripe that I have personally is with the air frying basket. Although it serves its purpose the cleaning can be extremely difficult. Because of the design/material of the basket; whatever sponge you’re using to clean it is going to basically shred when rubbed against the basket. Seeing as how this oven is marketed as a “Smart Oven Air Fryer”; I personally would’ve liked to see a better/easier to use and clean air frying basket. It seems as if Breville knew this too because on the basket it even says to not cook anything that “drips” knowing that the cleaning of the basket is going to be a pain. Perhaps Breville could’ve made it so that the air frying basket is also nonstick and include it with a suspended drip pan beneath it (this way food you’re air frying gets proper air circulation)? I do enjoy that the Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer isn’t overly huge; it’s about the same size as my microwave. When it comes down to it my kids can eat healthier, cooking is easier for me and my wife can do her baking. The benefits definitely outweigh the one gripe I have.
I have to say I am still impressed even with the minor setback I have with the design of the air frying basket. Breville has made a kitchen appliance that is versatile and stunning all at the same time. If you’re currently considering replacing a good amount of appliances in your kitchen (including your stand alone air fryer); give the Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer an opportunity to amaze you. This thing of beauty can look the part and do what it needs to do… 11 things in 1 that is. I have replaced a good amount of my kitchen appliances and now only have the Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer assisting me with all my cooking needs.

Logitech - G PRO X Wireless DTS Headphone:X 2.0 Gaming Headset for Windows with Blue VO!CE Mic Filter Tech and LIGHTSPEED Wireless
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*****Review*****
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
First impressions are always the most important aren’t they? Logitech has taken no step back in “first impressions” because the Logitech G PRO X Wireless is a thing of beauty. Upon opening the packaging; you’ll be greeted with some quality built wireless headphones. The mic that is included with your G PRO X Wireless is also detachable and Logitech was nice enough to give you a replacement knitted fabric velour type of ear cushions. The already pre attached earcushions are a faux leather type of material. If that’s not enough… Logitech even provides you a nice cushioned carrying pouch for those of you that want to bring them everywhere you go. So ultimately it depends on your necessity, comfortability and usage of how you want to put your Logitech G PRO X Wireless DTS Headphones to good use.
Logitech has honestly impressed me with the G PRO X Wireless DTS Headphones. The build quality on it in my opinion appears “premium”. But that doesn’t stop just there… Logitech has made it so that these headphones are in fact “premium”. The headphones feel sturdy and also provide you an enjoyable yet comfortable experience. I wear glasses and I love the fact that the G PRO X Wireless DTS Headphones provide enough tension so that it stays securely on my head but doesn’t provide so much tension that it hurts my ears; again I wear glasses… And I also sport some big ears. So headphones off to you Logitech for keeping us big ear glasses wearing folks in mind when designing the G PRO X Wireless DTS Headphones.
When it comes down to performance and “ease of use”; I have to say I am not let down in any way, shape or form. Logitech has integrated the G PRO X Wireless DTS Headphones directly within their Logitech G Hub App. So all you have to do is install the Logitech G Hub App and you’re good to go. Now, if you want to customize these headphones; you’re taken care of by Logitech. There are typical settings that you can change such as the customizing of the equalizer and enabling things like surround sound. My question to you is… do you play any first person shooters that require you to hear footsteps? Well guess what… Logitech gives you the ability to customize the virtual sound of your headphones so you can increase things like footsteps. I mean comeon… That is AMAZING! But it doesn’t stop there… Have you heard of Blue Vo!ce? Blue Vo!ce gives you the ability to fully customize the way your mic sounds and the output of your voice. The G PRO X Wireless DTS Headphones come with Blue Vo!ce. So even if you’re not a full-time gamer and require a mic that is clear for things like conference calls (especially in this day and age); Logitech has you covered here. This is like the “icing on the cake”. I had the opportunity to test the mic with fellow co-workers through Skype for Business and everyone had the pleasure of saying how much better my mic sounds compared to before. All in all, I am pleased to say that the Logitech G PRO X Wireless DTS Headphones give you what you need in terms of performance when it comes to sound quality and microphone output.
In conclusion; I have to recommend the Logitech G Pro X Wireless DTS Headphones. If you’re currently on the market for a new pair of wireless headphones to use for full-time gaming, part-time gaming or even conference calls; give the Logitech G Pro X Wireless DTS Headphones a shot. With the full customizability of these headphones from everything to the sound down to the microphone; you have no reason to be disappointed here. On top of all that they are really comfortable for those long headphone sessions that you are either required or wanting to do.

Almost PERFECT Gaming Laptop w/ Phenomenal Cooling
on July 16, 2020
Posted by: MarkusKong
from Torrance, CA
HP - OMEN Gaming 15.6" Laptop - AMD Ryzen 7 - 16GB Memory - NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Ti - 1TB SSD - Mica Silver
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*****Review*****
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ladies and gentlemen… I present to you… A gaming laptop that is worthy in my books because of the COOLING. What we have here is a gaming laptop that can perform because it’s powered by an AMD Ryzen 7 4800H 8 core CPU clocked at 2.9GHz, Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660 Ti 6GB of dedicated video memory and 16 GB of DDR4 3200MHz memory; but where it shines the most is the incredible cooling capability. Are you tired of buying a gaming laptop to find out that the cooling is subpar or practically terrible? Well… if you are; definitely keep reading.
If you are a heavy gamer and have had experience building your own custom PCs; you will understand that it’s important to have a rig that can perform all your games at your desired specifications while maintaining a nice temperature.
The folks at HP behind the cooling of this laptop really deserve a pat on the back here. I am thoroughly impressed. I also own an older version of their HP OMEN Obelisk gaming desktop and honestly the cooling wasn’t as good as I expected. I ended up swapping out the CPU cooler for an AIO water-cooler to help lower the temps on that beast. But we’re not here to talk about that… We are here to talk about the HP - OMEN Gaming 15.6" Laptop - 15-EN0023DX.
The design of the laptop is quite minimalistic. It doesn’t SCREAM gaming which in my opinion is perfect. I like what HP has done with the OMEN logo as well. The laptop looks very sleek and I am able to carry it around without people wondering what I whip out of my laptop bag. Come’on everyone… You know EXACTLY what I am talking about when you have one of those crazy looking gaming laptops that draws too much attention to you. Typically it’s either massive or it has all these crazy red colors. The only personal gripe I have with the design is that although the laptop doesn’t look cheap; a lot of plastic is used… including the touchpad. I noticed that because the screen is plastic; there tends to be a good amount of “flexing” going on when the laptop is closed. What I mean is that if you put this laptop in a laptop bag and you travel a lot; I’d be really careful about applying too much pressure on the screen side of the laptop because there’s a lot of “flexing” going on here due to the plastic housing of the screen and gap between the keyboard side of the laptop. The speakers aren’t amazing but they definitely aren’t bad. I personally felt that the keyboard definitely overall isn’t bad either but nothing really blew me away here as far as the build quality of the laptop goes. Again this is my opinion but I do feel that there could be some build quality improvements here.
Performance is where this laptop shines though. I have to say I am honestly thoroughly impressed. I threw all the games I had in my different libraries such as Steam, Blizzard, Uplay, Origin and Epic (in no specific order). With the included software called OMEN Command Center, there’s honestly some nifty contents in there. You have achievements that you can accomplish and earn rewards, control the RGB keyboard, overclock the system along with other things and of course… Control the fan profiles. HP gives you the preset standards of Comfort, Default and Performance; including “auto” fan speed or “max” fan speed. When I ran FarCry 5 through my UPLAY+ on the Default fan profile with “auto” fan speed; I hovered around 65c for the GPU and 80c for CPU which is honestly really impressive for an air cooled gaming laptop. If that honestly isn’t good enough for you and you don’t mind a little more fan noise, you’re more than welcome to change the fan profile to performance and set the fan to max which will bring you in at around 58c for the GPU and 72c for the CPU. Next up I went ahead and threw BFV at this bad boy and was playing on Ultra with a solid 70 FPS with right around 80c on the GPU and 60c on the CPU (Fan mode: Performance; Auto). If that’s not convincing enough… I ran Resident Evil 3 on ultra and was getting a solid 80 FPS while the GPU hovered around 75c and the CPU hovered around 57c. Still not convincing enough? How about running Witcher 3 at a solid 60 FPS with no stutter or lag at 83c for the GPU although while the CPU was a little higher than I liked; still no issues with any thermal throttling due to the awesome cooling. I mean come on… That is AMAZING. Just an FYI, I run my games on either Ultra/High so this laptop being able to give me the performance and smooth gameplay without any temperature issues is really just fantastic. Also, if you are aware of what screen tearing is; this laptop’s monitor includes AMD Freesync which really helps and it boasts a 144Hz monitor. So for you first person shooters out there… enjoy!
So in conclusion; what you’re getting here is a gaming laptop that can definitely play practically any game you want to throw at it. While you are throwing these games at it, you are supported with some phenomenal cooling thanks to HP’s team that designed the cooling of this laptop. As mentioned above; the only gripes I had were with the actual build quality of the laptop due to the plastic usage. Again, it doesn’t look terrible; I would’ve just liked to see less plastic used. Nonetheless! If you are in the market currently for a performance gaming laptop with steller cooling; please do yourself a favor and take a look at the HP Omen 15-EN0023DX at your local Best Buy. I definitely recommend it and you will not be disappointed with this purchase.

Fantastic Shooting Grip|Wished it were Rechargable
on February 3, 2020
Posted by: MarkusKong
from Torrance, CA
Sony GP-VPT2BT Wireless Shooting Grip
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*****Review*****
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This shooting grip makes taking selfies and vlogging incredibly easy. The built in tripod, the 360 button release swivel and tilt makes it extremely versatile. Due to its compact and lightweight design, it is easy to travel with in its provided carrying case or keep it attached to the camera with little to no obstruction when you don’t necessarily need the grip for the shot.
I personally felt it was relatively comfortable in my small hands and balanced while attached to the A6100. I didn’t worry too much about losing grip or dropping it due to the textured grip. Although, I’d imagine it would be much more comfortable for someone with larger hands.
The pairing process was a no brainer as long as you know your way around the Menu. Once paired, it seems to always pair when turned on and connection seems stable. It has basic controls; photo, record, zoom, lock, C1. It was very nice that there were no delays in response when each was pressed.
To get down to the “cons”, this grip is battery operated; specifically (1) CR2032 button cell battery. Following this, there is no indication of battery life or even an estimated usage stated on Sony’s website. It would be advised to carry extra batteries at all times. Whilst this shortcoming is not a deal breaker, I personally feel for the price point, it would have been nice if it were rechargeable.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*****Quick Features & Specs*****
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dust and moisture resistant: In addition to an overall grip design that keeps dust and moisture out, the absence of cables means that the camera's connector covers can stay closed, for maximum system dust and moisture resistance
Bluetooth wireless remote commander: With a compatible camera attached, remote controls for still and movie shooting can be operated while holding the grip normally, without having to touch the camera. Any function assigned to the camera's C1 button can also be recalled via the remote grip C1 button
No cables required: Bluetooth wireless communication means that no connecting cables are required to transmit control signals from the grip to the camera. Simply aim and shoot with no cables to get in the way
Flexible tilt function: A quick tilt function makes it easy to set the ideal camera angle for a wide range of subjects and viewpoints. Whether shooting selfies or a subject, the tilt function lets you get the shot without having to assume uncomfortable posture
Quick, easy direction changes: Quickly and easily position the camera for subject or selfie stills or movies. Improve your chances of getting the shot, even when shooting stills or movies without assistance. Combined with the grip's easy angle adjustment capability, 90° lock positions also make it possible to shoot in vertical orientation with optimum stability.
Contoured for comfort: The grip has been carefully designed to provide optimum stability and comfort, whether attached to a compact or mirrorless interchangeable-lens camera. Remote control buttons are easily accessible while holding the grip, for smooth, intuitive operation
It's a tripod too: Spread the grip's cleverly integrated legs and it becomes a handy, stable tripod, leaving both hands free for vlogging and other applications

Sleek, Stylish and EFFECTIVE Mesh System
on January 21, 2020
Posted by: MarkusKong
from Torrance, CA
Google - Nest Wifi AC2200 Dual-Band Mesh Wi-Fi System (2-Pack)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Google’s Nest Wifi system has been a huge upgrade from my (fairly old) ASUS RT-N66U. One of the biggest differences has been going from a single-router to a mesh system with multiple access points to cover more square feet around my home. Initially I bought the 2-pack (Router and AP) but ended up expanding to another AP due to how satisfied I was with the product.
Setting up the system is bar-none the easiest I’ve had to setup. Using Google Home’s app, it’s all automated and straight-forward as you go through the prompt. The only issue I had (which is definitely due to my laziness) is I shared the same SSID and PW with my current router and the new Nest...so of course I had issues getting it all paired up. But after I worked that out, the drop in was almost flawless.
Speeds have been considerably faster on all of my WiFi devices (which I have quite a bit of) and I haven’t experienced any dropoff or inconsistent speeds since my installation. Arguably some of this could have been attributed to how WiFi signal dips as it goes through walls or other channels my neighbors are using...but nonetheless it has resolved a lot of what I was hoping it would fix.
One personal gripe I have (which is a nonissue for most) is the hardline capabilities of the router itself. If hardline is required, you will have to get an unmanaged switch to fork the connections to allow for things such as ethernet runs or Powerline ethernet (which is how I hardline my computers in separate rooms). Unfortunately there’s only one output of ethernet on the back of the router, so some creativity might be involved with transitioning to this router.
Onto the aesthetics, I don’t think there are many mesh systems that are as sleek and provide as much features as the Nest. Having a built-in Google Home essentially replaces the current Google Minis I have spread across rooms. Not just that, but the AP is pleasing on the eyes wherever they’re placed.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*****Quick Features & Specs*****
Each AP covers around 1600sq ft
Dual-band 2.4 and 5GHz channels
Built-in Google Assistant
Ease of setup via Google Home App
Lots of management options for the router (IE parental rules, or limiting bandwidth)

Excellent Entry to Intermediate Mirrorless Camera
on January 6, 2020
Posted by: MarkusKong
from Torrance, CA
Sony - Alpha 6100 Mirrorless Camera with E PZ 16-50mm Lens
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*****Review*****
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I would consider the Sony A6100 an entry to intermediate level mirrorless camera. When compared to its rivals, I would consider this the better value and superior in terms of image and video quality. The lightweight and compact design makes this camera perfect for traveling or “on-the-go”. With the A6100, you’re able to take stunning photos without being a photographer; 4K video without being a videographer which make this camera immensely versatile.

While on paper most features do not seem much of an upgrade from the A6000, in-use I would consider this a long-awaited upgrade. The auto-focus feature is really where the A6100 outshines its predecessor. Also, this camera has external mic-input and a 180 degree flip screen which makes taking selfies easier and (youtube) vlogging possible. While I noticed little difference between the two when taking photos of static subjects, I found the A6100 to edge out on moving/action shots and definitely video. I also think the low-light images and video really delivers. The camera can also be used while charging (battery in unit) so there is virtually no down-time if you need to constantly capture photos or videos.

To get down to the “cons”, depending on whom you ask, this will vary. I personally think the 16-50mm lens it comes with is…good enough…if you intend to use for quick and easy photos to capture those once in a lifetime memories. For intermediate level, I would highly recommend purchasing another lens kit or body only and invest in lenses. There’s also no in camera stabilization so you may want to opt for lenses with stabilization.

I also find that moving the viewfinder a bit cumbersome. I find myself having to grip extra hard so I don’t accidentally drop the camera due to the rigidness. With the eyepiece cap on, the corner of the screen is obstructed which is not a deal breaker, a mild annoyance really.
Overall, I think the A6100 is a well-rounded mirrorless camera for those who want a lightweight, compact, more than your standard point-and-shoot and doesn’t want the bulk, HEFTY price tag and maintenance of a DSLR.

Gorilla Bow - Travel Resistance Training Kit
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*****Review*****
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Are you a fitness fanatic where you can’t skip a workout because you’re traveling? Maybe you don’t feel like opening up a gym membership because you don’t want to ultimately be paying the gym and not going. Or hey! Maybe you’re the type of person that wants to start off by working out at home and doesn’t want to invest in home weights or fitness equipment that is bulky.
Let me introduce you to the Gorilla Bow by Gorilla Fitness.
The Gorilla Bow was designed to provide you with a full body workout as well as strength training. If you’re thinking that your heart rate doesn’t go up; think again. Not only will you be able to do a full body workout, get some muscle and strength building; you’ll also be able to get a good cardiovascular workout as well. I typically enjoy this type of workout because I like to do a full range of exercises with very little rest in between my sets and reps when I am at the gym; it gets my heart rate up so that I don’t have to worry so much about doing cardio. The Gorilla Bow has you covered. To top things off, the Gorilla Bow looks awesome. I had it at work and everyone was interested because it ultimately looks like a bow instead of just simple resistance bands.
If you’ve ever used resistance bands, you’ll know that resistance bands are good. Resistance bands are versatile and you can literally throw them in a bag and take them with you if you ever need a quick workout when you’re at your home away from home. Honestly, I even know people that use resistance bands when they are even at the gym. Gorilla Fitness (makers behind Gorilla Bow) has taken those resistance bands but changed the way resistance bands work. How you may ask? By giving you the ability to attach the resistance bands to a bow.
The bow itself is crafted of aircraft grade aluminum so that it’s built to last and built to be sturdy. Depending on what you need, you attach the resistance bands to your desire and begin doing different exercises. When I say different exercises, I literally mean all kinds of exercises. During my first experience with the Gorilla Bow, I was able to rep out some bicep curls, back rows, overhead shoulder presses, tricep and even some squats. There’s a lot more you can do; the website has some excellent instructional videos too so I recommend checking that out. The resistance bands themselves are nice and stretchy yet sturdy; so you’re able to use them to their full ability and do many different exercises. If you need different resistance, Gorilla Fitness has equipped the Gorilla Bow with 4 bands which have different resistance of either 10, 20, 50, or 60lbs. If that isn’t enough, they also have 80 and 90 pound resistance bands. I love the fact that the Gorilla Bow is so easy to use and it’s easy to put together and take apart for when you actually need it. I will for sure take it everywhere I go (especially on trips); I’ve even taken it to work to get a couple reps/sets in when I start falling asleep at my desk job.
Overall, I have to say I am very pleased with the Gorilla Bow by Gorilla Fitness. Gorilla Fitness has also included a 2 year warranty to stand behind their product which is definitely a plus. One thing that I can safely say, the Gorilla Bow by Gorilla Fitness really gives you the ability to do a full body exercise while still being compact and lightweight. It’s literally perfect for fitness folks that either don’t want something bulky at home or if they don’t have the ability to workout when they are away from home. I definitely would not hesitate to recommend one of these to people that want to start something from home without the bulk, travel a lot, or simply want a different type of equipment for working out.

AMAZING Premium Percussive Massage Gun by Theragun
on September 6, 2019
Posted by: MarkusKong
from Torrance, CA
Theragun G3PRO Professional Handheld Percussive Massage Gun
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*****Review*****
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Are you sore after your workout at the gym? Do you spend countless hour(s) lifting weights and foam roll? Maybe your legs are sore after a nice long run. You know what? Maybe you just have some crazy built up knots from all that daily stress of life or work. Let me introduce you to the G3Pro by Theragun.
Theragun created the percussive massage gun so that it can target all those places you want to feel better or recover. Theragun includes six attachments with your G3Pro to specifically hit certain areas/muscles of your body. Along with the six interchangeable attachments, you are also equipped with an adjustable arm so that you can reach those harder to reach areas. Let's say you want a bit more “oomph” in your therapeutic session, the G3Pro has you covered because Theragun has equipped it with 2 different speeds to satisfy your needs and desires. Theragun also includes an extremely nice premium travel case. I found that the case is AMAZING because I can literally take it with all the accessories anywhere and everywhere that I want to and everything stores perfectly (plus it looks and feels premium). Worried about battery life? I wouldn’t because the G3Pro by Theragun includes 2 batteries and 1 is going to last you approximately 75 minutes; thats a total runtime of 150 minutes. The smart thing to do is while you’re using one, you have the other charging/charged; just keep hot swapping if you need it longer than 150 minutes.
During my usage and experience of the G3Pro by Theragun, I must say that I am honestly quite impressed. Not only is it super simple to use, it’s really therapeutic as well. I hit the iron facility 6 days a week (Monday ~ Saturday) with 1 day of rest (Sunday). So to be completely honest, my body is quite hammered by the end of the week; until the Theragun G3Pro came into my life. After a couple sessions of the G3Pro, I can feel that I have better range of motion, muscles aren’t as fatigued, helps with making any cramps I have (specifically calves) feel much more relaxed, and the icing on the cake… helps break up any knots/stiffness I come across. For someone that doesn’t hit the gym and does a lot of cardio like marathons instead, the G3Pro is also effective for recovery and soreness. If you are wondering “I don’t go to the gym or do any cardio”, doesn't matter; the G3Pro can benefit you with just relieving you from your daily stress. My spouse doesn’t prefer to exercise but uses the G3Pro on the regular for her shoulders and she has fallen in love with the G3Pro. If you’re a total newbie and don’t know where to begin, I would definitely recommend the Theragun app. The Theragun app provides you insight and helpful information to guide you through the usage of the G3Pro.
My only gripe that I have with the G3Pro is that it’s a bit loud… The G3Pro by Theragun is their third version of a percussive massage gun. I personally don’t own the previous models but looking at some videos of the past models will shed some light on what I am about to state. The G3Pro is DEFINITELY a lot quieter than the previous model. The previous model sounded like construction going on right at where you used it. I compared it to my friends Hypervolt by Hyperice and unfortunately the G3Pro is still relatively louder than the Hypervolt. So when we’re in the office and I want to break out my G3Pro for a quick session, it’s kinda hard to do that because of the noise. But if my friend breaks out his Hypervolt in the office (as he has been for a while now); no one really says anything about the noise. When I use it at home, I have to be cautious of what time I use it because I have 2 kids and if they’re sleeping; I can’t whip out the G3Pro unfortunately. This is also an issue if you live in an apartment environment as your neighbors may be bothered by the noise. One thing I noticed during usage though is that I really like the way the G3Pro feels on contact as opposed to the Hypervolt by Hyperice. I guess it ultimately depends on personal preference but in my opinion, I feel like the G3Pro works much better and has a more “percussive” element to it as opposed to the Hypervolt by Hyperice.
Overall I am thoroughly impressed and more than satisfied with the G3Pro. I wouldn’t consider myself a bodybuilder but I’m definitely an active individual. I mean hey, how many people actually wake up at 3am every day to hit the gym? Why not reward myself and relax myself with the G3Pro by Theragun. The G3Pro has helped me with my recovery and is definitely cheaper (in the long run) than going to a massage therapist at least once a week. Whenever I am at home and I need a quick fix of relaxation or if I am specifically sore in one area; I’ll just whip out the G3Pro by Theragun and get a quick session in. As mentioned above, my only gripe is that it's still a bit loud in my opinion. Theragun has taken some necessary steps to make the G3Pro quieter than the previous model and I’m sure the next version will have an improvement as well. As long as you’re not intending to use it in a quiet environment all the time, you should be perfectly fine. Knowing that Theragun cares and did what is possible to lower the noise from the previous model shows that Theragun cares about their product (or in a combination of listening to their buyers). So the next time you hit the gym, go on that run or simply just need a therapeutic relaxation session; consider looking into the G3Pro by Theragun for your recovery instead of the traditional foam rolling or massage therapist. I would definitely and highly recommend the Theragun G3Pro to friends, family, and gym pals without hesitation.

Superb Audio w/ Active Noise Canceling by M&D
on July 24, 2019
Posted by: MarkusKong
from Torrance, CA
Master & Dynamic MW65G1
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*****Review*****
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Master & Dynamic has done it again with the MW65G1. I currently own the MW60 and I have to say that the MW60 are my favorite headphones. When it comes down to the design of the MW65G1, Master & Dynamic didn’t take any shortcuts. I LOVE the fact that Master & Dynamic use quality materials for their headphones such as anodized aluminum and lambskin-wrapped leather. If you haven’t worn the MW65G1 or the MW60 before, you’ll be blown away by how comfy these headphones are. What amazed me the most here by Master & Dynamic is how light they made the MW65G1 while still using quality materials and having active noise cancelling. I must say, the addition of active noise cancellation that my MW60 didn’t have is excellent!
Setting up and pairing the MW65G1 is honestly super simple and user friendly. I’ve never had any problems with the MW60 and I didn’t expect any issues with the MW65G1. With a design similar to the MW60, you’ll find that the MW65G1 is easy to use as well. You essentially have 3 buttons to choose from on the right ear piece. Simply put, you have your volume rockers and the main middle button that handles pretty much everything else. The MW65G1 comes with Google Assistant ready to go. If you decide that Google Assistant isn’t your flavor though… Switching to your device’s assistant is super easy to do as well. Simply hold down the active noise cancelling button along with that center button I mentioned previously for 5 seconds and you’re all set! If you decide you want to switch back, simply repeat the process. Here is where the MW65G1 differs from my current MW60 model. MW65G1 has active noise cancelling and a button that controls it. You’ll find this button that I am talking about on the left ear piece. You have the ability to either have noise cancelling on high, low or simply just off. Speaking about the left ear piece; you’ll also find the power button along with different light indicators for battery level and paired/pairing status.
Now this is where we dive into the actual performance of the MW65G1… I’m sure this is why you’re reading this review. I don’t know how it was done but Master & Dynamic was able to get active noise cancelling on their amazing headphones without compromising the audio quality too much. The thing that I love the most about Master & Dynamic headphones is that it produces a warm and balanced natural sounding profile without any distortion of any kind that literally plays all genres of music. Another upgrade that I noticed from my MW60 to these MW65G1 is the bass. While playing some heavy bass music, I noticed that the bass was enough so that it’s not overpowering while still maintaining clear vocals and instruments. I’ve always felt that the MW60 didn’t have enough bass. The final upgrade I noticed from my MW60 is changing from microUSB to USB-C. With USB-C, you are offered a quick-charge feature that will give you approximately 12 hours of playback with just 15 minutes of charging. Master & Dynamic advertises the MW65G1 with a battery life that lasts 24 hours. So if you are ever in a tight situation where you forget to charge your headphones overnight, simply plug it in and get 12 hours of listening with just a 15 minute charge. One downfall that I did notice that wasn’t an upgrade and is instead a downgrade is that the MW65G1 doesn’t fold in. The MW60 that I have do fold in. I would’ve liked to see the MW65G1 have the ability to fold in and also come with an included hard carrying case to protect this beauty instead of a carrying bag. In my opinion, having the MW65G1 not fold makes it carrying around a bit cumbersome as it takes up a good amount of space wherever you’re storing it and you may end up opting to bring a different pair of headphones with you instead.
In conclusion, Master & Dynamic has done a stellar job with their design and quality of the MW65G1. You literally get all the same benefits such as lambskin-wrapped cups and band (ALL DAY COMFORT GUARANTEED), quality audio, and a stunning yet durable construction; while adding on active noise cancelling without compromising the quality of the audio, perfectly balanced bass without distorting the beautiful audio that the MW65G1 offers, and the change of standard microUSB to USB-C with fast charging capabilities. Some may feel like 24 hours isn’t stellar battery life, but trust me; you’re getting superb balanced quality audio at 24 hours of usage. The only thing I could recommend is having the design changed a bit so that the headphones can fold. In addition, having a hard carrying case instead of a carrying bag would definitely benefit the buyer. Nonetheless, I definitely recommend the products from Master & Dynamic and the MW65G1 is another addition to their fantastic line of audio equipment.

Vizio's New Flagship | A Beauty & Performer in ONE
on June 27, 2019
Posted by: MarkusKong
from Torrance, CA
VIZIO P-Series Quantum 75" Class 4K HDR Smart TV | P759-G1
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*****Review*****
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Vizio’s new flagship P759-G1 Quantum series is nothing short of amazing. The 759-G1 uses a technology Vizio refers to as ‘Quantum Color’, which uses quantum dot technology to deliver dark blacks and luminescent whites. The increase of dimming zones (240 in this model) also allows for the TV to really take advantage of the difference in light and dark scenes and giving the picture that extra ‘pop’. Vizio’s flagship TV also continues the familiar HDR10 variant, Dolby Vision, in this model. One of the amazing perks of having Dolby Vision is the dynamic metadata each scene contains; which essentially builds each scene to maximize the amount of brightness, contrast, color, and performance.
Vizio also unveils their new SmartCast 3.0 with this model, that now supports Apple Airplay 2 and Apple Homekit. This was the extra cherry-on-the-top for myself since I live in an Apple Ecosystem (phone, tablet, watch, etc.) and being able to cast onto the TV removed another unnecessary device(AppleTV) from my setup. Partnering this with the built-in Chromecast has made cord-cutting even easier with all of the streaming alternatives (SmartCast 3.0, Apple Airplay).
A concern one might have is the noticeable ‘bulkiness’ of the TV from a side-view. I would assume this is to be expected with the small bezels, 4k display, 75” size, and slew of features the TV has under the hood. However even with this bulkier size, the TV only weighs in at about 75~lbs with the stand, and 74~lbs without the stand. This is significantly lighter than most 4k 75” TVs on the market now.
Overall setup of the TV was a lot easier than expected. On initial bootup, the TV will put you through the automated setup to connect to things such as WiFi, devices, etc. Responsiveness was considerably better than what I have experienced with other SmartTVs. Usually inputs take a few seconds to register, but my initial setup went through seamless. One of the benefits of this TV is also the support for dual-band WiFI - meaning it can connect to both a 2.4GHz or 5GHz channel. Once I was done with the setup, I began fiddling with the preset colors to see which best suited day-to-day viewings without having to flip back and forth and ultimately decided on the Movie template. For a preset template and not adjusting at all, the colors and imagery were absolutely amazing.
In real world application, the Vizio P759-G1 lives up to its predecessors as one of the top TVs for gaming. Coming from a background full of fast paced games, low input lag, and relatively no ghosting… I had to of course test it with this TV. From racing games, to First-Person-Shooters, all the way to immersive open-world games - this TV kept up with its beautiful colors and little-to-none ghosting and input lag.
In conclusion, if you’re in the market for a 4K TV, I would look no further than Vizio’s P-Series Quantum TV. The P759-G1 brings in two beautiful worlds: sleekness and performance. With the amount of features this TV brings to the table while still keeping performance at its utmost core, this TV as a 4K 75” behemoth is unrivaled in the market right now.

I have an android TracFone . Will I be able to use it with the Google home ? Or do I need a Google phone.

If your TracFone can download apps off of the play store (Google Home app) then you should be fine. You don't need a google phone because Google Home even works with an iOS device. If you want to see the system requirements, look here: https://support.google.com/googlehome/answer/7035987
