Listen to music while traveling with these Bluetooth-enabled JLab earbuds. Noise-cancelling technology eliminates up to 90 percent of background noise, so you can focus on the songs, and they work for up to 11 hours on a single charge to keep you entertained. These JLab earbuds have intuitive controls for changing tracks, pausing or adjusting the volume.

So I was really happy when these headphones arrived only to have my bubble of happiness burst when I put these on. The first thing I noticed, and disliked, is how heavy the headphones feel. I think that's, in large part, due to the bulkiness of the pieces that house the controls (which functioned without issue). Aside from making calls, I also use bluetooth headsets to listen to music. The sound sounds so......generic, canned....cheap. I also removed the pieces that help "hold" the earbuds in your ear; they were a detriment to my comfort level instead of a help. They do, however, hold true to being noise-cancelling. Even if I wear my headset while working out (which I didn't do because I hate the weighty feel of this set), I crave and must have great sound. There are better headsets out there, imo, that would do a better job than these. I can't attest to the battery life because I refuse to wear these long enough to truly test it. Again, there are better sets out there.

Stash these Bowers & Wilkins PX wireless headphones in your carry-on, and enjoy disruption-free sound on your next flight. The noise-canceling headphones turn on the moment you put them on, and taking them off returns them to standby mode. These Bowers & Wilkins PX wireless headphones offer an incredible 22 hours of listening on a single charge.

Get a different set of headphones.

These headphones are the worst set of headphones I've owned. The left speaker goes in and out no matter how close you are to the device you're connected to. I can't even focus on the quality of sound because of that major flaw. I will say that the noise cancellation aspect is neat but not enough for me to increase the rating. Another issue I have is the weight of the headphones. These things are heavyyyyyy. These headphones are uncomfortable to wear for any period of time; much heavier than my Sol Republic and Sony on-ear/over-ear headphones. I absolutely do not recommend these headphones based on quality and weight alone.

Um...these are okay.

Overall, I don't regret getting these because they do what I need them to do...be Bluetooth earbuds. I find myself not reaching for these as often as I would like, however, because once clipped to the shirt your range of motion of moving your head left to right & up and down is limited. I find the bud on either side snatching out of my ear when my head moves around too much. No one complains about not being able to hear me, though, which is great. Listening to music isn't a bad experience with these headphones but the quality of sound (for lack of a better term) doesn't blow me away either. All in all, I don't regret getting these because they get the job done...I just have to watch my head movement.

Just what I was needing
on November 19, 2017
Posted by: CarolinaGirl2014

I thoroughly enjoy this security camera system. I'm so impressed with the sound and image quality; it's much better than I was expecting. I mean...sheesh...nighttime video quality amazes me every time I review video clips. Speaking of video clips, I really enjoy the Arlo app. It's great because I'm curious to see what's happening at home while away. Setup of the camera system was easy; you don't have to be an IT guru to get everything going. The size of the cameras themselves are small enough to the point where you can tuck them safely "with" other décor and they're not extremely noticeable to visitors; amazing and just what I needed. I needed a security system just like this without the contractual commitment. Thanks Arlo!

Great for spot vacuuming
on November 19, 2017
Posted by: CarolinaGirl2014
from SC
This is a very neat, compact stick vacuum! I really enjoy using it for "spot" vacuuming when in-laws or friends call when they're 10 minutes away to say they're stopping by. The suction is pretty awesome and maneuverability is superb; it turns on a dime. Do note, however, that you have to have quite a grip to keep this vacuum going where you want it to go because it's so light. The hand vacuum aspect is what I really enjoy...these couch cushions plus messy family members make me enjoy this vacuum that much more. I haven't experienced any issues with charging/battery life; I'm impressed. It does exactly what the description says it does. I use it mainly on carpet; haven't had to use it on area rugs. Overall, I'm happy with this vacuum.

My new favorite laptop!
on November 1, 2017
Posted by: CarolinaGirl2014
from SC
Let me just start by saying I love this laptop! It's so incredibly thin and the screen is the perfect size. I can get schoolwork done without squinting. The boot time is fantastic. This is my first SSD (solid state drive) laptop I've ever owned. I press the power button and within like 2 seconds I'm logging in! I'm STILL shocked how fast this thing is! I love doing everyday tasks on this laptop. It's the perfect combination of hardware and software and this ceramic white gives it an even higher-quality appearance. Did I mention this laptop has facial recognition?!? Well, it does. And I thought it was a really neat feature (not that I need to use it but still). I wish the vent was on the back somehow...the vent is on the bottom so it's not a good idea to use the computer while it's resting on your lap. That's the biggest drawback for me but it's not worth knocking off a star for. The keys on the keyboard are spaced perfectly to the point I'm not unintentionally pressing keys. I haven't played any games on it YET (I own an Asus ROG G752VM for that) so I can't yet speak for the graphics card performance. Oh and I practically don't use the touchscreen, lol. The picture/screen resolution is so beautiful that I rarely touch the screen but it's a super neat feature to have. Oh and the battery has to be the longest lasting battery in any laptop I've ever owned (aside from my gaming laptop). I love it! All in all, for what I use this laptop for, I'm thoroughly satisfied and definitely recommend it. It's perfect for travel because of it's size and weight and fast enough to help you check something important last second (not minute, haha). If you get one of these, I seriously hope you enjoy it as much as I do. (I have to hide this from my family because they'd rather use this than their own computer, haha)

Really enhanced my VR experience
on October 16, 2017
Posted by: CarolinaGirl2014
from SC
So this cube takes the experience with the Merge VR goggles to a whole other level. Naturally, I don't care for having to pay for the apps but the experience is worth it! You can really hold the cube in your hand only to use an app that turns it into a set of lungs. Sooooo cool! I don't really care for the use of the Merge VR goggles by itself but this cube does wonders for the experience. If you have kids that want to be a doctor or scientist, there's a VR app for that. I haven't seen or used any other product like this cube in conjunction with VR goggles. Two thumbs up to the creator(s)!

I had really high hopes for these VR goggles because Samsung has set the bar so high IMO but these fell short. The goggles are really cumbersome. On the other hand, I like that the apps you download are fairly neat and suitable for a range of ages. The biggest drawback I found is the buttons on top that are supposed to help you navigate through the apps/VR experience...don't work. All in all, if you're looking for a fairly decent VR experience, get these goggles plus the Merge Cube. The goggles don't require the cube BUT they're better together.
Oh and I didn't notice a huge strain on my cell phone battery (iPhone 6) but the phone did get warm during extended use.

Choose a different vacuum
on September 26, 2017
Posted by: CarolinaGirl2014
from SC
I'm pretty unhappy with this vacuum. I purposely allowed my household members to trek around on the carpet with their shoes on and even hosted a dinner party and insisted I clean up the mess. Well, this vacuum has the worst suction out of the 3 that I now own (I like clean floors). The "drive" on it is great; maneuverability is wonderful. I even like the filter; you just rinse/wash it off unlike the behemoth I have made by Hoover. I don't like that the brush attachment is nestled behind the cords; I wish the attachment placement was better. I also wish the attachment for the hose was longer but for the sake of design, I understand. This vacuum is really nice to look at but I'd rather use my behemoth (Hoover) instead to get my carpet vacuumed properly. I shouldn't have to keep vacuuming over the same area more than 3 times just to pick up lint. It's as if the bristles are just too few in number or something. Shark missed the mark for me with this one. I have a $30 no-name vacuum (for on-the-fly spot vacuuming) that has more suction than this. For the cleaning fanatics out there, I sadly do not recommend this vacuum.

Enjoy your morning java with this Ninja coffee brewer. Its specialized extraction technology maximizes the flavor of your hot or iced brew, and its Auto-iQ One-Touch Intelligence feature lets you choose the size of your drinking vessel so it delivers the exact amount of water. This Ninja coffee brewer has a removable reservoir for easy refilling.

I had such high expectations for this Ninja Coffee Brewer. First mistake I made was in underestimating it's size. It's quite the behemoth of coffee machines. Size wise, I only recommend this thing for those that have counter space to spare. Secondly, I'm disappointed with the time it takes to brew a cup of coffee. Call me spoiled but it feels like this thing takes an eternity versus my Keurig machine. If you're in a rush and literally have less than 2 minutes to spare before you have to hit the road, you might as well hope that someone was kind enough to leave enough coffee in the pot at work. Thirdly, the coffee doesn't retain it's warmth nearly as long. Picture this: using a Mossy Oak thermos and making a cup of coffee using my Keurig by 7:00am...my coffee stays warm until at least 12:30pm. Pretty decent in my book. Using the Ninja Coffee Brewer...my coffee has lost a significant amount of warmth by 9:30ish using the same thermos. My lunch break isn't until 1:15pm so I rely on my coffee to make it through the first half of the day.
The only good thing I have to say about this machine is that...wait, let me think about it....oh, yeah! I feel I don't lose as much of the coffee/caffeine itself with this machine. If you value the experience of scooping out your coffee, have plenty counter space to spare and want to immediately drink your coffee right after the brew you should try this out. If you procrastinate in the morning, need your coffee to stay warm through more than 3 hours in a good thermos, or you fight with your 2yr old that keeps trying to take his hot wheels race cars to daycare and every second counts, stick with Keurig.
All coffee drinkers are in my household (except the little one...chocolate milk for him) and no one uses the shiny Ninja Coffee Brewer anymore; not even visitors. Keurig it is for us.
