Cool car charger that's more than a charger!
on May 2, 2019
Posted by: btb2k

This Roav is an all around pretty awesome device and really is much more than just being a car charger for your phone. For anyone who's wondering what it's like, it's basically like having a Google Home speaker in you car, and that it's designed for your car which for me was pretty awesome. So, instead of having to turn on the "hey Google" to be constantly on your phone you can use this so you can easily speak to ask for Navigation directions, make/recieve calls, send/receive messages, and much more of course. It does work with your car being paired to bluetooth so sort of acts as a go between for your car's bluetooth. It pairs to your phone (Android or iOS) which I did to my iPhone XS Max and it works great. With the phone clipped on my dashboard it was pretty cool to have this device not only keep my phone charged but also keep my phone hands free by using Google. It does have an Aux out for output to your radio in your car (though may not be necessary and isn't required) and when used in that mode the audio quality is actually great.
The only thing I'd say to note is that for some newer cars that don't have the accessory adapter in an open area in the console or dash that you will need an extension otherwise the microphones builtin for Google won't be able to hear you. Outside of that in my experience the device works great even with music playing can still hear me speak commands. In light of that I am hoping that Anker might address that for a different version that's made for newer cars with a hidden wire with a special vent mounted far field microphone but still plug in to provide the USB ports for charging.
Overall, it's a great device and beyond the Google funcationality works just like a normal charger for the car on top of that which makes it a great all around device to have in your car. Note that to get it to work on iOS you have to install the Google Assistant app and allow it to run in the background which for me isn't a big deal as I didn't even notice it impacting battery life or anything but to some it might be.

Cool gaming headset for PS4
on March 31, 2019
Posted by: btb2k
from Salt Lake City, UT
Overall, this is a pretty good headset. It includes the PowerAMP which connects up to the PS4 and allows you to have the best experience with the PS4. If your intent is to use it primarily with the PS4 this headset won't disappoint.
The comfort of this headset is amazing, the sound is great and other players have no trouble hearing you over the mic. It is easy to connect and use and provides controls for your audio nearby without having to find controls. You can plug it into other devices like a Switch or your phone to use it for games there but because it's not paired up with the Power AMP it wasn't quite the same in terms of audio quality/loudness so I definitely wouldn't get this hoping to have the same experience without it. Even though it's clear this headset is intended only to work on the PC/PS4 with the Power AMP it is still disappointing to see it not be universal between Xbox and the PS4 as many gamers like me have both and Xbox and PS4 so this just ends up being more clutter in those scenarios. The upside is that to get it to work on the Xbox you'd only need to get the Power AMP and not the whole headset again. For this, I'd challenge Turtle Beach to come up with a universal system (even it used a manual switch to change compatibility modes). For it as it is marketed, I'd give it 5 stars but as a standalone headset I'd give it 4 where without the AMP it didn't sound a ton different than other gaming headsets I have.
Overall, I'd recommend it for it's comfort, quality and sound when paired up with the AMP but would not recommend if you intend on using it with other devices outside of a PC as there might be another option even from Turtle Beach that would work better.

Don't let it's looks fool! This is a must have!
on March 14, 2019
Posted by: btb2k
from Salt Lake City, UT
If you're on the fence on this, don't be! If you love music, look no further. Few Bluetooth speakers get a "WOW!" and this is definitely one of those that gets it!
I'll do my best to describe as words really can't describe it so I'll describe it as I unboxed it. First off, it's fairly heavy coming in the neighborhood of 25 pounds, which I anticipated as most speakers that have any kind of bass typically have big magnets/coils and have a solid enclosure such as wood. I do wish that when packaging that the bag the speaker was in had handles so it was easier to get out of the box. Once I got it out and pulled it out of the bag I noticed right away the attention to detail to give it the classic look that it has! It comes with two power cords so you can plug it into 110 or European 220 with that cord. I didn't see any other cables but noted it does have an Aux input on top that's a 3.5 mm cable and then on the back a Left/Right RCA input. Plugged it in and then flipped the switch on the top to turn it on. When turning it on, it chimed with a guitar chord (which is short and good for letting you know it's on). Pairing is EASY, simply press the input and hold for a couple of seconds and then the LED flashes. Then follow the pairing procedure for your device and it'll chime to indicate it's connected. Follow the same process to add a second device. What is really cool is that this speaker does support two hosts so if you have someone you're sharing the speaker with you both can play songs (one at a time obviously) without disconnecting/reconnecting - pretty cool! From here you can download the app to control the LED lights on the top and control the audio. It's not required but is nice to have.
Now for the best part... after pairing, I started up some classic country I immediately noticed the warm rich and full sound being superior to all of the other Bluetooth speakers I own and have heard. The guitar from the track sounded amazingly rich and clear, as did the vocals, and the bass - I was instantly impressed and satisfied! I tried other tracks, classical, rock and some electronic and all of them sounded great though you can tell where this speaker gets its roots from in listening to songs with guitars. I even tried a movie from YouTube and WOW!! .. I certainly was shocked when turning the volume up only to hear it fill a room with full rich sound and even at loud volumes have no distortion. I tweaked the treble and the bass with the controls on the top for each genre of music - very nice and easy to use. Obviously, this isn't a full surround sound system or set of tower speakers, but for its size and looks it will definitely surprise you! It's well crafted and puts out sound superior many other speakers out there. Even the soundbar system I have with subwoofer - it didn't even stand up remotely close to the sound this thing puts out - it's that good! I really was skeptical of it being that good, but it is.
Long and the short of it, overall, very impressed!

Great all around gaming headset!
on March 14, 2019
Posted by: btb2k
from Salt Lake City, UT
Right away you'll notice these are light when you go to unbox them and even though they are light they look and perform great! The cable is a slim rubber cable (as opposed to a braided nylon cover) which I think is a huge plus. At one time I considered the nylon covered cables the best but have found they catch on things and tend to end up with frayed spots with use so anticipate these will hold up to use a lot longer.
The build quality of the headphones is good overall, they feel solid but are light and have good padding on the headband and the ear cups. They come with a USB audio adapter for the computer but can be used on any device with a 3.5 mm audio jack. They also have an adapter cable that separates out the mic and audio for audio devices that have them separate. On the PC, I did notice that the sound quality seems better with the adapter so would recommend using it when using the headphones but using them without still works good overall.
They have audio controls on the ear cups and the mic mutes/unmutes when it's flipped up and down. I do wish the volume up/down was on the cord and not the ear cup as it'd be easier to find when you need to quickly adjust volume. In terms of comfort, they are pretty nice, didn't sweat my ears, and I didn't feel like my head was in a clamp.
Audio quality is good with a nice full range with deep bass and decent highs. Again, the USB Adapter helps but for most games and situations they are great as they are. The DTSX is pretty cool if the game has it enabled, you really can hear steps coming up behind you and when hearing firing guns you can hear the direction they are coming from just like you were there - pretty cool! The audio tuning software is pretty straight-forward and lets you tweak the audio equalizer to fit your taste.
Overall they are great and meet my expectations for a good gaming headset.
In summary, the pros and cons are:
Pros
Lightweight
Comfortable
Versatile
Includes USB adapter for PC
Software for audio tuning
DTS:X certification

Top notch wireless router!
on February 19, 2019
Posted by: btb2k
from Salt Lake City, UT
Setup of this router is about as easy as they come where right out of box you simply connect it to the internet and then connect to the wireless network. Once you do that, it'll walk through the steps to set it up and you're all set. I like the fact tha it was easy and fast to setup!
Here's a sumamry of what I have found so far:
Its fast - very fast! You can tell by navigating it's adminstration/configuration pages that it's fast as it's smooth and quick to apply most settings. Not only that, the WiFi is blazing fast on the 5ghz bands. Files can actually transfer as fast or faster than they do on the gigabit ethernet which I think is pretty amazing. It's future proofed with the latest WiFi standards and ASUS is updating it as the 802.11ax standard is updated. Note to really benefit from this latest standard that your wireless device must also support it. That said, it's fully compatible with all of the other 802.11 standards like ac, a, b, g, n.
Flexibility and built in features- It offfers both simple and advanced configurations so you can set it up to suit your needs. You can connect hard drives to it and setup your own cloud service to access you files safely from where ever you are outside of your network. It even offers a way to back up that drive to the cloud so your data is safe if there's a crash. The traffic monitoring and the antivirus is pretty awesome as well. If your on an ISP that monitors your bandwidth and you want to see where it all goes (by computer, by application/site) this router definitely does that and does it well!
The gaming and QoS features work surprisingly well. The game booster doesn't necessarily work with all games but there is a fairly good size list and they are adding more. It does add a fair amount of difference on games that have heavy network traffice/load like while playing World of Warcraft in raids and I've noticed a difference with it turned on and off.
Signal - The signal from this router is strong on both the 2.4 ghz and 5 ghz bands and covers my two story house just fine.
Ports! For anyone who has a home with built-in ethernet this is a router I'd highly recommend for you! 8 gigabit ports offers more than enough for most needs that way.
Stability - This is probably one of the most important things to me when evaluating a router against all of the features. It's one thing to have it be fast and offer a ton of features but it's most important that it's stable. In testing the couple of weeks I've had it going so far I haven't had to reboot it once and based on how well it's performing am not expecting that'll be something that's necessary. So far the performance and stability has been rock solid.
There are a number of other features that make this router a good one to go with but these are the ones I found most impressive. There are some others like Alexa and IFTTT capabilities so you can easily turn on/off your guest network with ease for example. The stability of the router so far is top notch.
Overall, I'd highly recommend this router for a number of reasons outside of it just being fast and stable which are essential to any router. It offers a number of features that are easy to use and really set it apart from other routers I've had int he past including the one this one replaced.

Everyone should have one of these!
on January 2, 2019
Posted by: btb2k
from Salt Lake City, UT
Overall, I am pretty impressed with this unit. The video quality is great and the features of this camera make it worth using to document family road trips (or proof of UFOs if you saw one while driving lol j/k) and having it as a means to provide proof of an incident or situation that happens while on the road. It’s worth mentioning that this camera does very well at night as well as great in the day. This can be a huge value in the unfortunate event of an accident or incident as it provides proof to authorities and the insurance company as to what actually happened.
Installation is a bit more involved but it is not too overly difficult for anyone who is familiar/comfortable with basic wiring or is comfortable with tucking wire under panels in the car. This unit does come with the necessary wiring and cabling to install into most cars. I would recommend using an installer Service if you want it installed to look professional without the hassle a worry of doing it right.
The color LCD is bright enough to use during the daytime and shows enough detail to give you a good idea of what the recording looks like and the on-screen controls and touch screen controls make it easy to use an operate. The design of the unit is great because it sits on your windshield at the right angle to be out of the way and yet still give you good visibility to the road for the video that’s recording. In all this is a great product and after my testing believe that everyone should have one of these in their car as it could help make everyone safer on the road. Having used other lesser quality dash cams before I would say definitely stick with one of these and the HD resolution to ensure that you get the best quality video.
Last I like the idea of being able to use this to document road trips or drives through national parks or just simply beautiful back country. I have not had a chance to try it for this particular feature but do you plan to do this during the spring time as I think it’s a great way to document a trip.
For storage it’s easy to use and swap out microSD cards to expand storage or change it out in the event that you have video you want to keep. The best part is with using MicroSD cards that you can pop it into most phones and review the video on your phone or even save it to your phone to send somebody else. If you have an iPhone you’ll need a A SD card adapter cable to be able to import the video. You can also take the microSD and imported to a computer as well.
Included with it is a 32 GB microSD card which is definitely enough to get you started however you might want a slightly larger one to keep video little bit longer. Or like me I have a few other 32 gig cards So will keep those in the car and swap them out as needed or every so often. And important feature to know is that the camera can be set to record over old video automatically so it’s not like it’s better you have to replace the card when it’s full.
If you were looking for your first dash cam and want one that’s solid video quality wise I would definitely recommend starting with this camera as it’s perfect for that every day type use.

Embellish your device with a functional attachment by using this black Speck GrabTab phone accessory. It’s compatible with most brands and cases, and the card-sized, flat design slips smoothly into your pocket. Use the hanging loop on this Speck GrabTab phone accessory as a grip for a secure hold or as a kickstand for hands-free viewing.

Cool idea but doesn’t work well with the XS Max
on January 2, 2019
Posted by: btb2k
from Salt Lake City, UT
This Is a very cool clip but does not work on the iPhone XS max very well as a stand. It is very easy to apply and sticks really well to the case but when used as a stand the phone may just be too heavy and when bumped just collapses the stand. For a smaller phone this would probably work great and I would recommend it if you were looking for something other than the pop stands/grips.

Cutting edge PC gaming headset!!
on December 16, 2018
Posted by: btb2k
from Salt Lake City, UT
This headset is pretty amazing. At first, I was worried about them as they are a bit heavier than others out there but the fit and comfort is surprisingly nice considering how much they weigh.
Comfort-wise these are among the most comfortable I've ever tried and because they are cooled there's no sweating! You can turn the cooling feature off with the software and even adjust how much they cool inside the software/app. The ear cups are soft and the headset auto adjusts so that it sits comfortably. The ear cups do a good job cutting the outside noise out as well.
For the software, the headset plugs in to a USB port and installs drivers automatically in Windows 10. The software from the Microsoft Store is also easy to install though is not required and simply lets you control the cooling function along with the color of the LED's on the headset.
For sound quality, these are amazing. Nice full deep bass and crisp clear highs with full sounding mid range. For most people these will sound nicely and have enough volume to satisfy most. The microphone flips down and is easily muted when you flip it up (which is also acknowledged with an audible beep so you can tell when it's muted / un-muted).
The LEDs are cool and you can change them to just about any color you want as a solid color, set them to react to the audio or turn the off. I would like to see a bit more customization here or some kind of integration with other LED gaming products though that's not likely as each brand tends to only work with it's own in that way.
In all, these are superb and I'd definitely recommend them for anyone looking for a good PC gaming headset!

Awesome gaming monitor!
on December 3, 2018
Posted by: btb2k
from Salt Lake City, UT
The HP 25x is the perfect companion to the Pavillion series gaming desktops and really is a great size without being too big or too small. The look is great with a thin bezel and green LED light that isn't too abnoxiously bright. The key factor with this monitor is having the ability to set it to a higher refresh rate and use the AMD FreeSync feature which helps minimize lag and tearing in the image while gaming. I would say if you haven't tried this technology before, that you do, as it does make a difference that is actually noticeable!
In terms of color and brightness, this display hits the right marks for my tastes and while it wasn't designed as a professional monitor it does look really good with natural colors and the right brightness. I do wish for the size that it supported QHD resolutions but the HD 1920x1080 resolution is good for gaming.
I do like that this monitor offers the ability to support HDMI and DisplayPort but do keep in mind that it does not come with a DisplayPort cable. It also doesn't have any built-in speakers or a USB hub but most built-in speakers don't sound that great anyway and USB Hubs builtin usually make the ports nortoriously hard to find/access anyway. Of the things I wish it had, I do wish that it had a cable management system so that you could organize any cables beind it easier.
While there are other monitors out there that aren't dubbed as "Gaming Monitors", I would say that if you have an AMD Graphics card you should strongly consider getting one of these as the difference is definitely noticeable in gaming, and just makes it feel nicer all around when playing games. Even if you don't have an AMD Grapics card, this display will still run at 144hz if your graphics card supports it, though it will not support the FreeSync technology. Overall, I'd recommend this monitor especially if you have an AMD Graphics card, and even if you don't this display is still very nice and just having the 144hz referesh rate is nice to have.

Awesome compact gaming desktop!
on December 3, 2018
Posted by: btb2k
from Salt Lake City, UT
First thing I can say about this desktop is don't let it's size fool you! It has a nice smaller form factor that is not typical of all other gaming PC's which is an advantage when you don't have tons of desktop space. Though there are cons too where you are more limited in terms of how many "extra" components you can load inside. The look of the front of this machine is clean and crisp/modern, and the green LEDs add a nice touch which is designed to match the HP Gaming Monitor (25x). In addition, some components can be upgraded and updated as your needs evovle/change. Out of the box performance is great and supports the latest game titles out there.
Hardware wise, this machine is great and designed to support the latest game titles out there. The Solid State Drive helps ensure fast start up times and fast loading for your commonly used applications that are installed to the Solid State drive. The 1TB storage hard drive is perfect for storing large game titles, and your media of course. It would have been nice to see it come with a bit larger SSD considering the larger ones are now a little more mainstream though 128 is more than enough to run Windows, and some of your basic PC applications. If you install lots of apps from the Windows Store I would recommend searching online for the setting to change the default installation location for apps installed from the Windows App Store. I would definitely advise caution when installing games to make sure they install to the D drive (the hard drive) or you very easily could run the solid state drive out of space.
While I would have liked to see this machine come with more than 8GB of RAM, I can say that 8 is enough to get you going and you can easily upgrade it later. The AMD RX 580 Graphics card is an excellent card offering performance comparable to the NVIDIA GTX 1060, and exceeds that cards performance in some areas on some titles. I tested this machine playing Tomb Raider, Assassin's Creed Odyssey and Origins, along with World of Warcraft and Destiny 2. All of which it did support on the mid to high settings without minimal lag. Based on how this machine has performed through my testing I would say if in the past you've steered away from AMD, I would definitely take a second look at the Ryzen series for PC Gaming as it's nothing like the older series AMD Processors! It's every bit as fast in terms of game performance as my Intel desktop with the Nvidia 1060.
In terms of what's bundled with this, realistically there is just the desktop tower with the specs outlined on Best Buy's site. The bundled keyboard/mouse isn't anything fancy as with nearly every bundle that comes with a desktop so I'd plan on getting a gaming keyboard/mouse if you don't already have one.
In all, I would definitely recommend this PC for anyone who's looking for a gaming PC that works great out of the box with no upgrades. The Solid State Drive and the RX 580 make this a good choice over some others and you can't go wrong with the Ryzen series for gaming.

Or, use Bose noise-masking sounds to cover unwanted nighttime noise. Download your favorite sounds directly to Sleepbuds II, control volume, and set a personal wake-up alarm. Sleepbuds II feature proprietary eartips made of soft silicone for a comfortable, secure fit. Sleep on your back or side, or rollover during the night, they’ll stay put. Get up to ten hours of battery life from a single charge, enough for a full night’s sleep — and three additional charges from the portable case.
If I use these and they truly block out all sounds, does it come with an alarm built in the app? I don't wanna have my alarm clock set and not hear it due to me wearing these through the night
Yes, for me they blocked out sounds especially when playing the sound clips.. they do have a built-in alarm that you can set.

Find the best fishing spots with this PowerDolphin Wizard water drone. The included PowerSeeker gives you data on water conditions, and the BaitBox function lets you drop bait to attract fish. This PowerDolphin Wizard water drone has a 4K UHD camera that captures stunning footage and quickly switches between above and underwater modes.
How deep can this go underwater. The add says the “SONAR” can detect up to 230 ft but nothing is stated about how deep the drone itself can go.
This one is not really designed for going and staying underwater though it can be submerged.:. it’s mostly designed to work on the surface though can skip under the surface and drop the camera under the surface to see below the drone. PowerVision has another drone that is designed for complete underwater use though.

Ninja Foodi's TenderCrisp pressure cooker allows you to achieve all the quick cooking and tenderizing wonders that you love about pressure cookers. The Foodi's Crisping Lid allows you to air fry, bake/roast, and broil. That means you can give your tender, juicy pressure-cooked meals a golden, crispy finish. The secret is TenderCrisp Technology, which produces the perfect combination of heat, fan velocity, and air circulation to give your food even crisping from top to bottom.
Does this pressure cooker air crisper combo item use silicone rings ? I hear the Rings hold smells and are almost impossible to get stains out of them .
It is a silicone ring that seals it. The manual states that you must keep the ring clean by removing and cleaning the ring AND lid after each time you use it or that there may be a risk it holding smells. Both the ring and lid should not be washed in the dishwasher of course!! So far, I have not noticed any stains or smells after using it while pressure cooking with really intense seasonings like rosemary, celery, and onions/garlic, and I've thoroughly cleaned the seal and appliance every time after each use as the manual states. My recommendation is going to be follow what it says in the manual and you should be okay. In terms of stains, I wouldn't rule them out from being possible to happen in the right conditions though I can't imagine it affecting anything. My thoughts on that are that the only reason you wouldn't ever see it on other kinds of seals is because the seal itself is black or another color but in terms of stains on the one i have, I've seen none so far!

Air is the new oil, and now with the Philips Airfryer you can use that air to fry in a healthier way with up to 75% less fat! Thanks to Philips unique TurboStar™ technology, all food is exposed to constant, circulating heat allowing you to cook your favorite foods with a tablespoon or less of oil. The result is evenly fried food – with no turning or shaking needed. Preset meals on the digital Airfryer allow you to cook your favorite recipes at the touch of a button.
Does the Phillips AirFryer 9621/96 have a stainless steel basket?
It does not appear to be just plain stainless (i'm sure because food would stick to it as it fries in the Air Fryer). It appears to be a non-stick metal basket, and is NOT safe to wash in the dishwasher. It has to be hand washed but I've never had any difficultly with cleaning it.
