Setup/Testing/Conclusion
I’m going to first start off with the packaging. This is a personal opinion as I am one of those consumers that thoroughly enjoy walking through an aisle and seeing really nice “thought out” packaging on a product I am looking to purchase. With the Logitech G703, I didn’t really get the WOW factor on the packaging. Being that I am a FPS gamer, I buy mouses pretty regularly. I’ve purchased Razer, Logitech, Microsoft, Thermaltake, SteelSeries, etc. in the past many times. The thing that hooks me when purchasing a mouse is of course the mouse itself. But it definitely helps when I pick up a mouse box and get the WOW factor when I haven’t even taken the mouse out of the box yet. But hey, as I said it's a personal opinion and what crossed my mind is that Logitech probably put more money into the mouse than the box itself.
So here goes the setup, testing and final thoughts. Setting up the mouse was self explanatory. It was extremely simple to setup. One I set up the mouse, I went ahead and downloaded the Logitech Gaming Software. During the installation process, it gives you an option to download/install a program called OverWolf. OverWolf is basically a software that gives the gamer the capability of not having to “alt tab” to do things like browsing, instant message, etc… I personally didn’t download/install it but it's definitely a neat feature to look into if you’re deciding on purchasing the Logitech G703. Once I was all ready to go I went into the Logitech Gaming Software and tuned the mouse to my liking and changed the color(s) of the mouse. Logitech Gaming Software is definitely something I would recommend downloading because you can fine tune your mouse like buttons, colors, surface optimization, etc. So download it! I play one main FPS and that is Counter-Strike. I understand it’s an old game but it’s a really good FPS game and people still play it competitively. All I can say is… WOW. The Logitech G703 performs exceptionally well. Can you say… HEADSHOT! During my gaming session, my hand did not feel fatigued at all and the side grip texture definitely helps. I am a hybrid grip when it comes to gaming on a PC. There are people that are “claw grip” and some that are “palm grip”, hybrid just means you do a bit of both. By the way speaking about grip, if you’re a left handed user I want to sincerely apologize but the G703 will not work for you because it's for right handed users ONLY. This mouse resembles a lot of my most favorite mouse ever and that is the Microsoft Intellipoint mouse. I like the shape of the G703 and the way it performs. I tested DPI from 200 ~ 12000 and I did not experience any stutter or acceleration at all. Why you would need 12000 DPI still baffles me because even 3200 DPI is a lot for me. But some people may need 12000. When it comes to FPS games, I feel like the Logitech G703 delivers what Logitech promises.. If you’re looking to do a lot of key mapping/binding of keys, the G703 may not be the best mouse for you. This is only because it has a total of 6 programmable buttons. If you’re looking for a mouse with more buttons to program, you may want to look into the G903 from Logitech. It supports the same wireless charging technology G POWERPLAY. I did insert the optional weight and it does make a little difference but nothing drastic. I’ve owned the Logitech G502 and the Logitech G500 previously and enjoyed the feature of having more weights to fine tune the weight of the mouse to my liking. With the G703 you only have a single 10g weight to either put in or leave out. The cable that the G703 comes with is fantastic. I must say, Logitech has improved a lot on their cable game. When I used the G500 a while ago even though it had a braided cable, it wasn’t as flexible as the ones now. The braided cable that Logitech uses now is flexible yet durable and I really enjoy that. So with all these pros that I’ve been giving the Logitech G703, you’re probably wondering if there are any “issues” with the mouse. I hate to do it because I really like the G703 but the only con I ran into is the build quality of the mouse. For an MSRP of $99.99, I expect to get a mouse that is built around that price range. For the build quality of the mouse on the G703, I feel like it's the same quality as a mouse I would get for around $40.00. I’m sure the Logitech G703 “guts” are where the funds were put into as opposed to the “shell” of the mouse. But I just personally feel like it has a “cheap” build quality “feel”, a lot of plastic. I would’ve liked seeing maybe a more grippy texture on the top of the mouse as opposed to the smooth plastic. That is probably the only con I have with the G703. Besides that, it performed exceptionally well wired and wireless. At this time, I wouldn’t even mind dishing out another $99.99 for the G POWERPLAY. Its definitely a nice addition to add to the G703. Since the mouse performs as well via wireless as it does wired, that is why I personally feel like paying an additional $99.99 for the G POWERPLAY is worth it. This way, you never have to worry about plugging/unplugging the wire to charge the G703 because it’ll charge as you play.
So there you have it ladies and gentlemen. Those are my thoughts with the G703. I’d definitely recommend it to a friend or family member. I work around a lot of people that are gamers and would not hesitate to recommend the G703. As I mentioned above, if you’re looking for a mouse that has more buttons to map for games like MMORPGs; I would look into the G903. All I can say is, great work Logitech and keep it up!

Important Safety, Compliance and Warranty Information sheet
Setup/Testing/Conclusion
Let's go ahead and start off with the packaging of the product. The camera comes in it's own box within the packaging. The second box within the package houses the rest of the contents which is listed above. Packaging itself is standard (nothing to write home about) yet sturdy to keep the contents within safe from shipping.
Setup was extremely simple. I referenced the quick start guide and was able to get everything up and running in minutes. The app will connect to the camera and do the necessary firmware updates. Once the update is completed, you’re all ready to go!
I initially set up the camera in the corner of my living room and it has a pretty clear picture. You’re able to zoom in and out on specific areas through the app when viewing through the eye of the camera. When clicking on the menu within the app, you have several different options to toggle on/off/change. There are things such as privacy mode (circle continues streaming, but does not record any footage or send alerts), Smart Alerts, Camera Mount, Field of View, Resolution (comes at 720p), Night Vision, Microphone, Speaker, LED and some other ones too. I only ran into two problems which one was the app kept crashing on me every time I tried changing the field of view from 180 degree to ultra wide. The second issue I ran into was when changing the resolution from 720p to 1080p; there was some significant lag and video distortion. I ran into one issue (probably my fault) where I put the camera onto the mount and didn’t know how to swivel it. As I mentioned… Probably my fault but once you figure it out it's a breeze! You basically need to align it correctly to the swivel stand and when just rotate the camera piece.
So far, I can safely say that I thoroughly enjoy the Logitech Circle 2. Being that you live in an apartment or home and have people come over (like maintenance personnel); it's always good to be able to see what is going on in or around your home when you’re not there. I mean even if you don’t have people come over, you can see what your dog/cat or pet is doing while you’re not home. One thing that freaked me out was the night vision. It reminded me of those horror/scary movies where you can see in the dark and stuff just starts moving (paranormal activity). I didn’t personally go through that of course but I’m just saying… If your place has some paranormal stuff going on; this camera will do you justice! There are a couple things I wish the Circle 2 was able to do/have. An example is like being able to control the camera (even a little bit) through the app. What I mean by that is being able to physically move the camera through the app. Another thing is when the night vision turns on you hear a loud “click”. I feel like if someone were to break and enter your home and for whatever reason it “clicks” to turn night vision on; the people that are breaking and entering may end up just leaving. One more thing I wished the Circle 2 had was some sort of battery pre-installed. I understand there are 2 different versions (wired or wireless). But if you have the wired version and your power goes out; well your camera goes out too since it is plugged in. What this means is you’re back to square 1 with no video monitoring. Of course you can get the wireless version which does have a battery but there has to be a reason why some people want the wired version right? So all I am stating is that if there was a pre installed battery even on the wired version; at least it’ll last some time after your power goes out so that you know what's going on. One thing I noticed is that the wire that the Circle 2 wired version comes with gets creased/bent even when I didn’t do anything except for take it out of the box that way. I feel like through time it’s possible that it could get creased/bent to the point where it’ll split. What I would’ve liked to see is a more flexible wire being that even gaming mouses have more flexible wires now (I’m not talking about braided cable either).
Don’t forget that you have the option of getting Logitech’s “Circle Safe” plan of basic or premium. Basic will run you $3.99/month per camera which gives you 14 days of storage instead of just 1 day with no subscription. The premium plan will run you $9.99/month per camera or $99.99/year per camera. When you initially get the app and connect a camera, they give you a trial of the premium for about 10 days if I am not mistaken. I do enjoy the Circle Safe Premium and may subscribe in the near future. Why do I enjoy it you may ask? I like that it notifies me when it detects a person (I get the notification on my phone). That honestly really helps when you want to monitor your home.
In conclusion, I would give the Logitech Circle 2 a 4 out of 5 star rating. I definitely do enjoy the Circle 2 and it will for sure come in handy when I need it. The Circle 2 has features that you’ll want to utilize and mess around with. One of the things I did was use the microphone function on the app to talk to my wife which is at home sitting on the couch. You can utilize this feature with talking to your pets or the delivery man/woman if the Circle 2 is on the outside of your home. There was definitely a couple things that bothered me like the app being a bit unstable when changing settings/functions. Being that the Circle 2 is app driven, I wouldn’t want the app crashing on me when I am in need of viewing something. All in all, I have to say that I would recommend this product to a friend. Perhaps, I would recommend the wireless version though. Nonetheless, the Circle 2 is definitely a nice security system to add to your home.

What's in the box?
Philips Avance Collection Masticating Juicer
Quick start up guide
Inspiring recipe book
Setup/Testing/Conclusion
Lets first start off with the packaging of the product. The product comes in a standard designed box with well molded protective material to keep the unit from getting damaged during transit. Upon opening the box to reveal the juicer, you will find all the contents I listed above “What’s in the box?”. The juicer itself looks really sleek and I think will look great accompanying your other kitchen tech gadgets if you decide to purchase one.
I’ll jump right into assembly. Assembly was pretty straight forward and you don’t necessarily need to reference to the quick start guide. After assembly, I decided to take it all apart again to wash it. The neat feature here is that there's a built in LED light that gives you feedback after you’ve put it back together. Also if you didn’t put it back together correctly; it simply wouldn’t work. The safety feature on this is definitely nice to have.
Now let's head right on over to performance and testing/usage. When powering on the juicer with the button located on the top rear of the unit; it was surprisingly not too loud compared to other juicers I have used previously. The first thing we juiced was watermelon. The Philips Avance Collection Masticating Juicer made a decent amount of juice. Personally, the spouse and I didn’t enjoy having to cut the already pre-bought/cut watermelon even smaller so that it would fit the feeder of the juicer. After finishing juicing the watermelon, we used the pre-clean function to make sure we get every last drop of the watermelon juice. We utilized the innovative drop stop which definitely assisted with keeping our counter clean (no drips!). The next 2 things we juiced after were cantaloupe with honeydew and then pineapple. We went through the same process for each and every fruit that we juiced. Personally, the spouse and I felt like it still made a mess even with the innovative drop stop. When juicing, it seems the feeder likes to spit out fruit juice everywhere. Let me say, it's not A LOT; but I could tell you that I definitely felt some hit my body/skin here and there. I even saw some juice residue on the unit itself from splatters/leakage (mainly in the front). After completing our juicing process, we proceeded to the cleaning of the juicer itself. I can first hand tell you that it DOES NOT take 1 minute as it's advertised if you’re cleaning it. The pulp and fruit juice is kinda everywhere once you disassemble the unit. When hand washing the removable parts, let's just say you need to have a sponge with dish soap and hot water to clean this thing thoroughly. It does state that you can use a dishwasher to clean all the disassembled parts; but would you necessarily run the dishwasher just for the juicer? If you do just throw it in the dishwasher, I don’t know if the water pressure is going to actually fully clean it thoroughly if it has a lot of pulp stuck everywhere. We tested the cleaning method of just rinsing it and throwing it in the dishwasher once we had enough accumulated dishes. The result was pretty good (our dishwasher is brand new) although as I mentioned above I still had to hand wash a part of two after the dishwasher because there were stuff still stuck in a couple parts.
The main function that the spouse and I enjoyed the most was making almond milk. We were able to run the almonds through 3 times to make a significant amount of almond milk. The end result of the almonds were completely powder as the Philips Avance Collection Masticating Juicer did a great job at that.
In conclusion, I feel like the Philips Avanace Collection Masticating Juicer could have some improvements made.Unfortunately do so many cons I experienced with the juicer, I will have to put my rating at 3 out of 5 for this puppy. There were definitely some highlights that I mentioned above but I personally feel the cons outweigh the pros this time. Philips has always made great quality products (I own quite a few) and I enjoy having them in my kitchen. In this specific instance, I wouldn’t be able to confidently recommend this product to a friend.

Setup/Testing/Conclusion

The design of the box is pretty standard; nothing to run to someone to show off. I’m a box guy so when there’s a lot of effort put into it; I’ll make sure I note that and let people know. The packaging inside the box was pretty good though. I must say; Samsung did an excellent job with protecting everything inside to make sure it’s not damaged during transit/shipping. The POWERbot also looks pretty nice and the build quality is great.

Setting up the robot with the dock was pretty simple, it’s basically plug and go. You follow the quick start guide and the robot will start charging. The manual states charging initially takes about 160 minutes. So I let the robot charge up while I messed with the Samsung Smart Home app. After downloading the app, I pretty much got stuck trying to pair the robot to the app on my android phone. I followed the directions and the app found the robot but I got stuck on the part about connecting everything via WiFi. It just continues to loop and search for the AP (access point) but never shows anything. I couldn’t type in the AP name but can type in the AP password. If I click AP name in hopes to start typing it searches for the AP again. After several attempts I just gave up; pretty frustrating I must say. I’ve also read from a lot of other people that the app isn’t the greatest. So long story short on the app; I’m just gonna have to skip on it.

So after charging (I basically left it charging for the night) I was able to use it the next morning. I threw some trash items on the floor in front of it to see if it was able to pick it up. I have to say, the POWERbot did a fantastic job with cleaning my hardwood floors and my carpeted room. I thoroughly enjoyed the fact that it has a better “cleaning system” than the Roomba. When the Roomba cleans, it kinda goes everywhere. The POWERbot actually cleans as if you were to vacuum the floor (in a specific pattern) so that it doesn’t miss any spots. Samsung advertises that it cleans corners/edges and it seems to do a pretty good job. When the POWERbot gets to an edge/corner the POWERbot actually says edge on the digital display screen on top and does what it does to clean. I really liked the “smartness” of the POWERbot when it reaches carpet; you can hear it “suck” more as it went on the carpet in my bedroom. The POWERbot ran for about an hour on normal cleaning mode and cleaned my living room, one bedroom, the hallway/walkway at the entrance, kitchen and one bathroom. It never made it to the other part of my house on a full charge though. But to be fair, I don’t think my Roomba 770 would’ve made it for the whole place either. I really liked cleaning the POWERbot. It was simple to clean and you can rinse/wash the dustbin and the filter. With my Roomba 770, you have to replace the filters which can cost you some money over time. Now to the cons… As I mentioned above; I did NOT like the app at all. If you have any rugs laying around like in the kitchen or bathroom; the POWERbot is not able to go on top of it to clean. Instead, it basically just bunched it up. The other thing I didn’t like was the scheduling feature. On the Roomba 770 you’re able to set the schedule on let's say; Mondays and Fridays at a specific time. Or, you can set it for 3 days or even 4 days or every day. Basically you can set it to whatever you want for scheduling. On the POWERbot; you’re not able not able to do that. You can either set it for a one time clean at a specific time or a repeating daily set time. Meaning, your POWERbot will literally go off every single day if it's on the daily schedule. Some people like to have it go off only once, twice, or whatever their preference is. The POWERbot doesn’t give you that flexibility. I also did not like the fact that the POWERbot still goes off even if it doesn’t have the dustbin in place. The Roomba 770 will not start if the dustbin is not secured in place. So luckily I heard it go off to stop it but it definitely blew some dust in my room because there was no dustbin!

In conclusion, I would not be able to strongly recommend this product to others. I would definitely take a look and do some research prior to purchasing any cleaning robot. The POWERbot did a great job cleaning as far as the way it’s programmed to; but it had way too many cons for me to give it above 3 stars. Overall; I felt like the POWERbot is just mediocre. I wasn’t really wowed by it compared to my Roomba 770 which is about 3 years old.

Setup/Testing/Conclusion

I first have to say that Master & Dynamic put a lot of work into the MW60; even the packaging is superb! Initial impression of the box on the outside is pretty standard… But as soon as you remove that “skin” and take out the black box; oh man! The material and craftsmanship that they put into the packaging deserves a 10 out of 10 from me. I am a box guy so I know when a box is nice or not. My spouse and I got to experience the MW60 straight out of the box and we both agree that these are the best headphones we have ever used hands down.

The build quality of the MW60 is extremely nice. At first I thought these headphones were pretty heavy in my hand. But guess what? As soon as you put them on your head they are extremely comfortable and well balanced that you don’t even feel like it's heavy. The buttons are well placed and are very simple to use; pretty straightforward I’d say. The materials of cowhide, lambskin, and metals on this thing are a great combination; Master & Dynamic did an amazing job. When I first put the headphone over my ears I thought they were going to be narrow because I have big ears (so as my wife… don’t tell her I said that though!). After placing them on my ears, I can safely say that it's definitely not an issue; having big ears for the MW60 that is. I would also like to mention that I wear glasses and a lot of headphones get sort of uncomfortable. When wearing glasses with headphones, it typically feels like your head is being squeezed. I definitely did not experience this “squeezing” effect with the MW60. I enjoy that even when I remove one side and only have the MW60 partially on my head; it's still comfortable! Basically what I am trying to say is… It's comfortable.

Now to the sound quality… WOW! The sound quality is crisp and rich; extremely RICH! The vocals are clear. There’s a clear distinction between vocals and music; no “bleeding” effect here. The distance on the MW60 are also excellent. I had the pleasure of testing them around the house while leaving my cell phone in one area of my home. I never lost quality nor did I experience any sound skipping like you would typically get from traditional Bluetooth devices. This must be the antennas that MW60 use. If you have the chance to see the headphone in person; you’ll notice the antennas on the left ear piece. You’ll be able to notice it as it looks relatively similar to the one on the back of an iPhone (that's of course if you actually have seen the back of an iPhone, typically on the bottom). The antenna that the MW60 has does an amazing job and I am able to close doors and still hear clear music (no skipping) even though my phone is through a good 3-4 dry walls and 2-3 closed doors. I also had the opportunity of testing the microphone quality and its pretty good. The only thing I heard “bad” about it is that I sounded kind of far. But the sound that I was projecting from my voice was clear and beautiful! With all this great sound, Master & Dynamic states that the MW60 will last you approximately 16 hours.

To the accessories! Lets just first say that a good amount of time and cost has been put into the accessories. The cables included are nicely braided and have nice connectors. You essentially get 2 carrying cases; 1 for your MW60 and 1 for your cables. I like the fact that Master and Dynamic provided 2 carrying cases. The Sony’s that I have only come with 1 carrying case and I’m always afraid of scratching/damaging the headphone. The carrying cases are made of canvas. Although they are lightweight, they seem pretty durable. The only con/gripe that I have is that I wish the MW60 carrying case had a hard outer shell instead. If you’re an individual that is going to dish out the cost to buy something amazing like this; I would be extremely cautious of not damaging it. The ear cushions are extremely easy to change out or take off to clean. They are basically held by a magnet. These ear cushions are some high quality lambskin wrapped bad boys. They are comfortable and do everything they’re supposed to do without hurting you in any way, shape, or form.

In conclusion… Would I recommend these headphones? YES! Absolutely. As I mentioned, I’ve tested several headphones and the MW60 by Master & Dynamic currently takes the cake. Everything from the build quality down to the sound quality is amazing. Basically; the MW60 is both beautiful on the inside as it is on the outside. If you’re on the search currently for a new headphone, give the Master & Dynamic MW60 a shot; you won’t be disappointed.

Setup/Testing/Conclusion
Got kids? This is probably one of the most fantastic and awesome projects that you and your little one can do together (8+ marketed on the box, 6 and above is possible IMO). To be completely honest, my wife and I even enjoyed it together; my son loved it! If you have someone in mind that is interested in getting a Bluetooth speaker and is into music and sound, get them one of these.
The setup on this thing was not only simple; it was very enjoyable. Right off the bat when you open up the box, the quick start guides you to downloading the app on your iOS device. Sorry Android users, you won’t have the ability (currently as of 05/22/2017 and not sure if they’ll be compatible in the near future or not). The quick installation guide prompts you to download the app on the App store. Once you’ve downloaded the app; hold on tight cause it’s gonna be a fun and entertaining project. The tutorial/guide on the app is fantastic (good job BOSE!); it's simple to follow and it guides you through the entire process from A-Z. I don’t want to provide too much details because honestly it’s a fun experience and you’ll enjoy it; trust me!
So to the pros and cons. You’re probably wondering… You’ve been raving about this thing, aren’t you giving it a 5 out of 5? Honestly, I would personally have to give a 4 out of 5; let me explain. The sound on this thing represents BOSE, the sound quality is great and is crisp. Setup was fun and intuitive so no points knocked off there. The build quality on this thing is pretty nice, not too heavy and not too light and no fingerprints! The other customizations that you can do to this thing (silhouette, different colors, dancing/breathing of the colors, equalizer) are awesome. Now here comes the cons… This is solely based on my opinion. The first thing that made me knock off some points is that you can’t set this up on Androids. Sure it connects to an Android device to play music once it’s all built and put together, but you can’t do the initial fun stuff and setup through an Android. The only other thing I didn’t personally like is that when you customize the equalizer on the app, you can only utilize that function on music that is on your iTunes. What this means is that if you’re playing music on Pandora or Spotify for example those equalizer customizations don’t stick. This also happens even when you’re customizing the colors. BOSE still has a great equalizer preset and on the control panel you can adjust the dancing/breathing of the colors, but it sort of defeats the purpose of being able to really customize the thing like you can on the app itself. The last thing I don’t 100% agree with is the inability for this device to be portable. The BOSEbuild Speaker Cube is stationary and you have to keep it plugged in the whole time you use it. I only mention this because in this day and age everyone wants something portable for the most part.
Overall though, I would really recommend this product. As I mentioned initially, if you know someone that is interested in sound/music or you want to spend time with your kid(s); this thing is worth buying. It is honestly some good quality fun and the quality is not short at all in any way, shape, or form. BOSE has done an amazing job in creating this. Who wants just a simple nightlight for your children? Buy a BOSEbuild Speaker Cube so that they could use it as a night light, build it with you as a project, listen to music, and learn! This thing is an all in one. I hope after you read this review and you buy one; you’ll have as much fun as I did and enjoy it as much as I did.

Setup/Testing/Conclusion
I really enjoyed the packaging on the Lifeproof AQ10. The design/marketing personnel at Lifeproof really did an amazing job. What can I say? I’m a box guy… Not only was the packaging aesthetically pleasing, it also kept the AQ10 protected.
The material on the unit itself is made of heavy duty plastic/rubber silicon. If you’re worried about fingerprints; don’t be! It's quite heavy so if you’re looking to take this snowboarding or surfing with you on your hip; think again!
To pair the unit itself to a mobile phone; that was extremely easy and effortless. Setup was simple; you literally power on the device by holding down the power button and click on the Bluetooth button. Once you power on the device and click on the Bluetooth button; you simply look for the device “Lifeproof AQ10” on your mobile device and voila!
The sound quality is decent compared to other portable Bluetooth speakers that I have come across. It's definitely not the highlight of the AQ10. The AQ10 may sound “loud” but I feel like it’s missing the “surround” sound feeling. The highlight of the AQ10 is the durability and versatility. I tried the “float” option and guess what… IT FLOATS! That is awesome. None of the other Bluetooth speakers I have can do that. So the best part about this thing is being able to put it in the pool or even take it with you to the snowy mountains. You don’t have to worry so much about damaging the thing because it's basically built like a tank. Lifeproof has done an excellent job with keeping the actual Bluetooth speaker encased. You also have the option to charge your mobile device as well if you have the cables on you. The AQ10 is a speaker but it also has the ability to charge your mobile device when you need to. To be honest, the best thing I like about the AQ10 is the dry box. For all you folks out there that forget that you have cash, credit card(s), or your keys on you when your going swimming or something; you have the option to use the dry box by storing those personable items. Just make sure no one runs off with your speaker.
My issues are mainly with the sound quality. Again as I mentioned above; the AQ10 may sound loud but it certainly doesn’t produce the best sound. A major letdown (IMO) is the float option. You’re probably going wait… didn’t you say above that it's a highlight? Yes it is a highlight of the AQ10 because you can literally chuck it into the pool and it’ll float. My main complaint is that when it's floating in the water, the speaker is facing into the water… What this means is that you don’t really get to hear whatever it is you’re trying to listen to. The sound comes out the front of the speaker so there isn’t much sound that comes out of the back; if any. So if you’re trying to listen to music at the beach (in the water) as an example; all the sharks, fishes, and sea creatures will hear it except everyone else above the water.
In conclusion, I enjoy the aesthetics of the device itself. I like the “tankiness” of the unit. But I feel like the unit as a speaker itself falls short. Would I recommend this? I would say do some research and see if you can view one in person. If you enjoy the brand Lifeproof then I’m sure you’ll enjoy this device as well. But if you have something comparable like a waterproof Bluetooth speaker with better sound; I may skip on this. But this is all based on my personal opinion. Some individuals may enjoy it more than others; I would still give it some thought.

Setup/Testing/Conclusion
First off let me say, the setup was really easy and self explanatory (you basically just snap the handle into place). The fill tank has indication marks for water and solution. Not only does it have indications, it also gives you the option of needing to clean a lot of space or just minimal space. Once you fill it up with warm tap water and the solution; you’re ready to go! The SpinWave comes with 2 regular soft touch pads and 2 powerful scrubbing pads for your tough messes.
With the minimal fill, I was able to clean my kitchen, the landing at the front door, and the bathroom. My apartment is approximately 1050 square feet. First off, the cleaning of the kitchen and landing were wonderful! Once you power on the SpinWave, it literally just glides across your floor (effortless!). It kinda felt like playing bumper cars with a mop.... Except you weren’t bumping cars and instead bumping everything else in your house; I mean it in a very fun way by the way. After you’re done cleaning, the area smells clean thanks to the cleaning formula that Bissell crafted.
Now here comes the con… Of course right? My issue was when I cleaned the bathroom. Now, it may be because the bathroom has the most dust since we have the window open all the time. But normally when I clean with a Swifter Sweeper (wet); it picks up majority of the dust. For the SpinWave, it looked as if it just kind of clumped the dust up into little balls and spun it everywhere. So after using the SpinWave, I had to use a wet solution and paper towels to clean up the dust balls; an extra step basically. But like I said, it could’ve been because my bathroom is more dusty than everywhere else. But I was hoping it would’ve caught the dust though instead of spinning it around and shooting it everywhere.
Cleaning up was extremely simple. You just empty the tank (if you have any leftover solution) and remove the pads. You can then throw the pads into your laundry machine to wash.
In conclusion, I thoroughly enjoyed the SpinWave. For the most part, it did a fantastic job. My floors feel really clean now (even with the dust situation in the bathroom). Would I recommend it? I would consider it if you’re shopping around and don’t want to use the traditional mop or a Swifter Sweeper. It was honestly enjoyable and kinda fun; I think my mother would really enjoy the SpinWave because the way it glides effortlessly throughout the floor.

Setup/Testing/Conclusion
No fingerprints yay! The material that Sony used on this soundbar is quite nice. The design of it also fits perfectly with my entertainment setup at home. The setup of the Sony HT-MT300 was extremely simple. Without looking at the setup instructions (although I’d advise you to if it's your first time setting up a soundbar), I was able to get everything plugged in and up and running within minutes. Another recommendation is that if you’re planning on setting up the subwoofer underneath your couch; I would look at the instructions. The subwoofer can be placed either vertically or you could use the speaker pads that are included to have the subwoofer be placed horizontally.The whole system itself is definitely compact and a lot smaller compared to the LG soundbar I had previously. But ladies and gentlemen... DO NOT be fooled by its size! Sony again delivers a quality product to its electronics line. It performs well and the sound quality is excellent. I tested out the Bluetooth pairing and it was also easy to do. I love the fact that there were no sound skipping/stuttering at all in playing music with this soundbar. The difference I had was that the LG soundbar would ALWAYS skip music, even when my phone was right next to the soundbar… I did not experience that with the Sony HT-MT300. The Sony HT-MT300 has a couple of sound functions to choose from like music, movie, clear audio+, Dolby DRC function, voice, and night. It doesn’t seem to have as many as the LG soundbar I had but Sony has done an impressive job on getting the ones programmed “fine tuned”. I was able to play some music and test the difference out between selecting the sound functions of music versus movie (which it actually sounded better on the music setting of course). Then I went around and tested the difference by watching a movie and selecting the sound setting of movie versus music. The point I am trying to make is that sometimes those sound features don’t really make a difference; with the Sony HT-MT300 it did.
Now comes the cons of the product; of course these are my opinions but I feel like I would need to share them with you. I personally feel like the Sony HT-MT300 is lacking a built-in digital display screen. Let me explain why. When you change your volume, or subwoofer level, or sound function; wouldn’t you want to know how high, how low, or if the setting you're changing is on or off? Because it doesn’t have a built-in digital display screen and doesn’t show on my TV what is going on when I am changing the settings on the soundbar; it can get a little frustrating. Even when changing sound functions by holding down a button on the remote, you would need to reference the operating instructions every time to make sure you’re doing it correctly and if it's on or off. Then you’re like wait.... Can’t you just use the APP (SongPal) that Sony has to offer? I downloaded the APP to try and resolve this “con” I had on the product. While it did show certain things being changed like the subwoofer level and what sound settings are on/off; I had huge issue(s) with the APP itself. When adjusting the volume on the remote for the soundbar and my iPhone had the APP installed and paired; it would also adjust the volume and ringer volume on my phone. I even tried closing out the APP on the phone but it still linked up and adjusted the volume on my phone when I was adjusting the volume on the remote for the soundbar. This made it extremely inconvenient because the only way around this is that I would have to disable my Bluetooth in order for it to stop syncing up with the soundbar. I keep my Bluetooth enabled because I have things like a Fit-bit that is always tracking everything I do and syncing and transferring data to my phone. The only other issue I had with the soundbar is the volume. Again since I couldn’t distinguish what my volume was; I didn’t know how loud my volume was. When switching between streaming T.V. on my Roku, Netflix, and streaming a movie from my phone; the volume was different between all of them. What I mean by that is I was watching T.V. with my Roku and decided to try out a movie and the volume was SO MUCH LOUDER when switching from T.V. to a movie; I literally scared my pregnant wife and she jumped up off the couch. I would also like to mention that I saw another review that someone stated the sound was out of sync when watching a movie on Netflix; I personally did not experience this at all.
In conclusion, I would definitely recommend this product if you’re on the market looking for a soundbar to go with your T.V. I personally feel like the pros I had with the Sony HT-MT300 outweigh the cons. The sound quality on this thing is amazing and it adds a nice punch when you’re watching an action movie. Even if you’re just streaming music it sounds excellent. If you have guest over; they will be wowed. Compared to the LG soundbar I had; the Sony HT-MT300 definitely performs better. The only thing I wish is that Sony would’ve added a built-in digital display screen. If that built-in digital display screen was there; this product would’ve gotten a 5 out of 5 or a 10 out of 10 from me personally.

Initial Impression
- Outer box looks pretty standard (for you box lovers out there like me); thumbs down
- Inner “housing” of the headphones has a very nice interesting material. It feels great when you touch it and it gives the product a “quality” aspect. I LIKE THAT!
- Headphones have a nice weight to them. They feel sturdy and the material on the headband feels nice. I didn’t like the feel or quality of the plastic connecting to the ear pieces though. Maybe perhaps if it was the same material as the headband all the way around? Nonetheless, it does feel sturdy though; just wished it wasn’t such light plastic. Ear cushions feel really nice. They’re soft and have “memory foam” like material on the inside. Buttons on the ear pieces are distinguishable and easy to use.
- Pouch is a very nice material, feels very soft and non “scratchy” for your headset. Unfortunately, mine had a hole in it… So be on the lookout when you get yours. If you don’t care so much about the pouch then I guess it doesn’t matter but if you’re someone like me, I’d care!
- Some info from Sony: Sony states: Noise cancelling – Industry leading digital noise cancelling cuts out ambient noise and adapts to your environment so you can hear more of the detail in every track. Now it’s just you and the music. Premium Wireless – Easy to carry, move with and use without obstruction. Bluetooth and NFC wireless connectivity with compatible device. Up to 22 hours of battery life with continuous, wireless music playback. Sound Quality – It wouldn’t be a Sony headphone if it didn’t include premium sound quality. Large, 40 mm driver units deliver broad, dynamic and balanced sound with 20-20,000 Hz frequency response when streaming wirelessly and 3-28,000Hz with the supplied audio cable. Sony Headphone Connect APP – The Sony Headphone Connect App acts as a companion to your headphones. The application allows you to check the battery level, turn noise cancelling on or off, customize the level of bass from -10 to +10m and also provides preset EQ’s such as club, music hall, arena, or outdoors to give you control over how your headphone sound.
Setup/Testing/Conclusion
- Alright ladies and gentlemen, this is what you've been waiting for. So here are my thoughts. Setup was EXTREMELY PAINLESS!!! I did the setup first on my iPhone and it connected perfectly fine. No issues at all. I downloaded the app and the app basically did everything its supposed to do. I was even able to test out the functionality of the app like Surround (VPT) *this is the different EQs you can change it to like arena, club, etc*, extra BASS, and toggling on and off the noise cancellation feature. Everything worked as expected and was honestly kind of fun to be able to customize the way I listen to music. Next setup I did was on an Android phone and it was just as easy! I used the NFC (near field communication) to connect the headset and it worked flawlessly. So if you know how Google Wallet or Apple Pay works, you'll be right at home. You have the same functionality as the iOS app. OH! You also get to check battery life on the app which is neat. So the testing, well lets just say that the sound quality on these are AMAZING! I love them. If you're looking for clear audio, awesome bass, and nice all around music to your ears; I'd definitely give these a try. The only issue* I had with these is that they feel kinda "big". Also, maybe because my ears are huge; they got quite uncomfortable after long periods of listening. I also wear glasses so maybe that's a contribution? I had a couple co workers with different size ears to try them out and they said the exact same thing. So maybe its just us folks in California? I had my spouse try them out and she enjoyed them. The only issue* she had was that she can hear a weird VERY LOW static in the sound. I personally did not experience this nor did my co workers. So maybe my spouse is "hearing things" if you know what I mean. But if you also hear it... Then maybe my co workers and I are the crazy ones. The active noise canceling works great! I texted them in an office environment and at a home environment. So if you're listening to music you can basically expect not to hear anyone around you. If music is not playing or is not as loud, you can faintly hear some other individual(s) around you. But to be honest, I enjoy the noise canceling feature; its quite neat! I love the bass. Sony advertised BASS and I can tell you, there is BASS. I didn't even turn it up max in the app, just at +5 out of +10. My music wasn't even at max. Just for giggles I did +10 for base and max on music and WOW! You can feel the power, lets just say that. If the battery does in fact last 22 hours, that's pretty wonderful. Lets be real, you're gonna end up charging them mid-next day anyways when you're not using them. Since you also get a headphone cable, you can always plug it into a device when you don't necessarily need it to be wireless. In conclusion and all in all, I really enjoyed this headset. If you're on the search for a new headset with folding capabilities, relatively comfortable cushions, and REALLY fantastic sound; give these a try. Sony has always made great quality products and this headset is no exception. Good job SONY!
If you're wondering why I knocked off a star, for me personally (my opinion); its because they were not 100% comfortable for me. But again, that could be because I have big ears and wear glasses.

Hello johnnyK, I tried speaking to it with Mandarin just now but it didn't work. When you go into the Google Home app you can see/check the language but there's only English that I could see.

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
