Stay in constant communication with other players when you wear this Logitech stereo gaming headset. The 3.5mm input works with computers, laptops and gaming consoles for added versatility, and the 50mm drivers bring big sound to your ears. With lightweight leatherette ear cups, this Logitech stereo gaming headset offers added comfort throughout extended play sessions.

This headset seems sturdy and well made. It's comfortable for hours of use. One of the best features is the microphone can be muted just by putting it up into the earpiece. I've had this on a previous headset and it is a welcome feature so you can quickly mute it. The sound quality is really good, one of the best I've used. I still have another one that retails for more than this one, and this Logitech Headset offers better quality, both in hearing others and in them hearing when speaking into the mic - impressive, and an important feature.
The two things I most look for in a headset for long term use is sound quality and comfort, and this one exceeds expectations. The ear cups are well padded, and swivel for additional comfort. This also helps when resting the headset around the neck, so they don't bump against you and are more comfortable in that way too. There is also padding on the adjustable band that rests on the head.
The only thing that bothered me a little is it seems to sit a little too loose, but I don't keep the band as snug against my head as it could be, since I have them on for long periods. i don't know that there is a fix for this, except maybe to not have them swivel, but I'd rather keep that and let them be a little loose. If I were moving around more, and not using these primarily for gaming, I might tighten the band to keep them from sliding back. For my purposes, this isn't really a complaint, so much as an observation, and I still rate these as 5 stars. These are really good headphones, especially for less than $100. I would recommend these especially for gaming, on the PS4 or other devices, but they also work well for listening to music or watching Netflix.

Control your diabetes with this Dario Android blood glucose monitoring system. It contains a lancing device, test strip cartridge and meter in one compact housing, so it's easy to carry in your pocket. This all-in-one Dario Android blood glucose monitoring system connects to mobile devices via a convenient app to deliver results within six seconds.

This is more advanced than other blood sugar testing kits I've used, and there's a lot that I like about it. However, I was disappointed that it didn't come with a pouch or carrying case. I've seen less expensive kits that have one included and I was surprised this doesn't have one. I'd give it 4 & a half stars, but don't think that oversight takes away from the overall usefulness and reliability of this system. I would still very much recommend it, since this is such a minor issue.
The Dario system is a self-contained device. The full kit comes with the system or device, which includes a small package of lancets, ten disposable phone covers, and two guides, a box of lancets, and a box of test strips. These last 2 can be reordered separately, although when I checked prices, they're more than for my other kit. The strips are put into a cartridge of ten strips that fit in a compartment on one end, and the lancing device is the other end, rather than a separate item. There's a button on the side of the device which releases the glucose meter.
Remove this part from the device, then the plug fits into the headphone jack on your cell phone. Install the app on your phone, plug in the meter, and it walks you through the steps the first time, which actually takes less time than the tutorial. When prompted by the app, put a strip in the meter, add a drop of blood, and the results show on the screen in a few seconds.
The advantage to the meter plugging into the phone is that the app holds all of the results, instead of the device. Set up the profile and the app keeps up with additional personal and medical details. You can also enter nutritional info and connect a fitness app to the Dario app. It's a pretty thorough system which goes beyond just accurate testing, and provides additional tools to assist with managing diabetes. I found that the app on the phone was easy to use and very helpful.

This is a great blender -- I highly recommend it. I was excited about this one, since it has a larger pitcher than most blenders, 72 oz, and can turn ice into snow. The blades are extremely sharp, and there are numerous warnings about these. Most blenders I've seen have the blades in the bottom. This appliance has a 'stacked blade assembly' that isn't actually attached to anything. It sits in a holder in the bottom of the pitcher, and then there's another in the lid to hold it in position during use, but doesn't snap in place. If you're careful, you can use and remove the blades without incident, and there are warnings to remind you of this. Some reviewers saw this as a safety issue, but if you use as instructed, you should be fine. The blender won't work if the lid isn't properly attached, which provides another safety feature. It also tells you how to wash the blades - using a brush that is away from your fingers, or in the dishwasher. That's probably the only concern I would have with this, but it's a blender. It has to have very sharp blades to do what it's supposed to, especially with the way it pulverizes ice. The blades are designed to do a great job of blending the ingredients, and they do exactly as expected.
Smoothies, milkshakes, slushes, beverages like daiquiris and margaritas, sauces, soups -- it's a very versatile device, and it does a great job with these. It comes with a recipe book, and more recipes are available online, both from the manufacturer and other websites. The lid attaches securely, so you can pour as soon as you're finished by popping open the cover on the spout, or you can open the lid, remove the blades, and pour that way. If you just want one small drink, it might be too large for you, but for my household, the old blender was always too small, and this makes enough that I don't usually have to do a second batch. Cleaning up is easy, remove the lid, pull out the blades. You can remove the entire pitcher from the blender base first, or after removing lid and blades.
The Smart Screen feature means you can use one of four different buttons already programmed, based on what you are fixing, but it also has manual controls: high, low, and pulse. It includes instructions on what order to add ingredients for best results. This doesn't include other attachments, and some of those are not able to be used with this, but it's still a great deal for what it does, and it does such a great job at that.
It has 1000 watts of power, which keeps up with regular use, and has more power than you need for most of the recipes you might try. It's an easy to use and easy to clean blender. I've found it to be versatile enough that it's the only blender/processor I need right now. You can find cheaper blenders, but they won't do what this one does, and this will outlast them.

I had been looking into products that would improve Wifi signal throughout the house, not just in the room with the router. It tends to be slow at times in other rooms, especially when multiple devices were connected. This system did a great job of this, and I have had no issues with it at all, although I have not had it long. Some reviews I saw had problems right out of the box, and some over time, but I have not had any negative experience so far. I checked for other reviews and watched a video before setting up to get an idea of what setup and use entails, but it was very simple to get started, and I could have skipped these.
It does required the download of the Linksys app, which provides step by step guidance for the setup of each node, and allows for control of the system after this. Additional features one can access through the app include providing guest access to the Wifi network, and prioritizing up to three devices. The system updates the software and security automatically overnight, without the user needing to do anything. It gives you a chance to select a name and password for the system, that's the same for any device using it, and once each has logged in, this system connects to the node and channel or band that offers the best signal for that device.
This system includes: three nodes, a power adapter for the main node, and a short ethernet cable for that same node, along with directions for getting started, although more directions are in the app than in this guide. It helps to start with this, then switch to the app when you get to that step. The other two nodes plug directly into an outlet, and connect wirelessly with the first, one node at a time. Additional nodes can be purchased and added in, if needed, although the three included should be sufficient for most homes. I would definitely recommend.

This really seems meant more for console gaming, and does not require access to a PC for recording and streaming game play. I didn't try this with a console, as that wasn't what I used it for, but other websites recommend this highly for that purpose. It has 4K and HD capabilities. It works with a PC, and is a plug and play device, so that makes getting started very quick. This can also be used as a card reader, which is great, but if that's all you're looking for, there are cheaper options. It comes with everything you need to get started except for a micro SD card and instructions, which are accessible online; there is a guide included, but it just shows where the cords go in multiple languages. I was surprised it came with HDMI cables, as those usually do not come with devices, and this one has two included. It also can connect with a record or stream from mobile devices. One of the connections is for a headset, which is kind of important for streaming, although I suppose you could try without. For the SD card, you would need a higher speed one, or it will likely affect the quality of the recordings; a class 10 would be best. I would definitely recommend this device.

This is a really good device for home office use. I'd give it four & a half stars, if that was an option. It was easy to set up. The enclosed guide gives the steps but some were unnecessary because the printer also guides the user through the setup process, by showing the steps and progress on the touch screen. This screen is also how the printer is used, rather than buttons. This machine can copy, print, and scan, and works as a fax machine if connected to a landline. It connects wirelessly to the home network, WiFi and computers, as well as mobile devices, although connecting to a network is not required. There's an app easily downloaded for mobile devices.
The touch screen on the printer took a little getting used to, as it didn't seem as sensitive at first. There is software for the computer that can be downloaded, although when I did it immediately needed updating. This took longer than I expected, but should be a one time process. Printing is quick and the quality is great. As part of the setup you install 4 separate ink cartridges; these can be replaced individually as they run out. The printer tracks this for you, and will let you know when low. There's a replenishment service which will send replacement cartridges to you.
With its compact design, it fit on the desk without taking up much space. It holds plenty of paper, and prints two sided as well. I had no problems using this, from my desktop and phone, and would recommend it as a good quality addition to a home or even a small business office. I had certain expectations for this as a Brother product, and was not disappointed.

Enjoy your favorite music alone or among friends with these wireless Rowkin Ascent earbuds. The Rowkin app is compatible with iOS and Android to let you share music or adjust audio settings, while WaterSafe technology provides water resistance for use during inclement weather. These Rowkin Ascent earbuds come with a slim charging case, which is also ideal for storage.

These are not just wireless, but cordless as well- no headband or other attachment, just two small earpieces. They come with three sizes of ear tips, a USB adapter piece, a short USB-C cable (same on both ends), and the charging unit/case. The reason this is the Ascent+ is because it also includes a Qi charger, a small square device that will charge the headphones, the case, and other devices. It charges my phone too, although not through the wallet case. Both the charging case and the Qi charger use the USB C cord.
The headphones power on and start pairing as soon as removed from the case, which saves time and effort. It's possible to use just one, instead of both, which is great for at work, when I want to be able to hear sounds around me. Wearing both doesn't block all ambient noise, but more than I was comfortable with in that situation. I had no problems with pairing. You can also turn them on and off by tapping the end of each, and holding for about 5 seconds. The charging case also acts as a powerbank for additional hours for the headphones, or another device connected via the USB cable. The manufacturer mentions up to 50 additional hours using the charging base, but I haven't tried that out yet. The charging ports in the case are magnetic, which helps put the headphones in place, so it will close properly.
I have not used this type of headphones, which don't have anything attached to hold it in place, but I had no problems with them staying in in my ears; once inserted, they did not shift until I removed them. I tried the large and the medium tips, and found the medium the most comfortable, but still secure fit, even when moving around. And while they claim to have up to a 25 feet range, I actually went farther, and the sound faded out when I went down the hall and around a corner, then it came right back when I headed back to the office where the phone was sitting. I'm impressed. My regular bluetooth headset starts skipping a lot sooner, and would have dropped at that distance.
Rowkin has an app, which they recommend installing on your mobile device. It allows for different sound settings (electronic, acoustic, etc), lets you know remaining battery life, and has a list of calling and play controls for the device. Another feature is the 'Find my Rowkin' section, which will tell you recent places where the headphones have been, making it easier to keep track of them if they get left somewhere. If you're going to get these headphones, get the ones with the Qi charger, which is well worth it (not a big price difference at this time). I had no problems with anything, although I have not had them long. I thoroughly recommend this device.

My kitten is small, and doesn't shed a lot yet, but I'm looking forward to using this even more as she grows, not to mention cleaning up after everyone else in the house. It has a crevice tool, which can help with hard to reach places, and along baseboards, but the feature that specifically for cleaning up after pets is a tool for furniture, a pet 'erasing' piece, which works well so far. I am interested to see how this works over time, but no issues with anything I've used at this point. I had a little difficulty with putting it together- the screws would not go down all the way, and I may have to use a cordless screwdriver to finish or leave them alone, as the handle is already securely attached. Also the crevice tool sits awkwardly when stored, not like it shows in the pictures. As far as the usage of this vacuum, I've had no problems. It works on carpet and bare floors, which is another important feature for my household. This also comes with one Febreze filter, to use in place of the regular one, if you prefer. I also like that you don't need bags, although most are that way these days. Emptying the canister could be a little messy if you're not careful, but I didn't really have a problem. This a lightweight model that is easy to maneuver around, with the 'swivel' design that makes this easy to use, and get all the areas I want to reach. The main part of the vacuum is wide enough to save time and the brushes do a great job of picking things up, without extra passes over the same area. I would definitely recommend checking this out, especially if you have pets.

Built to match the way you live and designed for use with the HP Smart app, Tango X helps you stay a step ahead by connecting and printing from any device, anywhere.

At first glance, this is a sleek, attractive device that doesn't look at all like a printer. It comes with a gray cloth cover that allows it to blend with the decor of a home office. It works with various assistants,like Cortana and Alexa, and even goes with the cloth covers of recent Alexa devices, like the Echo. This printer does require the use of a smart phone and a downloaded app to get started, but this was clear before getting the device. If you're not comfortable with this, you might want a different printer. After initial setup, you can print from your computer wirelessly also. With the app on your phone, you can send pictures and documents to the printer, even when you're not home. The cover is removed before using, and it sits under the printer, so your pages will come out on top. It comes with a few pages of photo paper to try out. Another feature is the Instant Ink subscription service, which is optional, but fairly inexpensive, and gives you the ability to print photos from your phone for free, without counting toward your monthly usage. Not only can you print pictures, you can scan documents using your phone, then print out. This is such a versatile device and would make a great addition to your home office.

I haven't really had a bad experience with Logitech devices, and this was no exception. I was excited to try it, because I use computers a lot, and this claims to reduce strain on the hand, providing greater comfort over time, while not slowing you down. This does what it's advertised to do without question. It is an adjustment to use to at that angle, what they refer to on the package as the 'natural handshake position', but then it quickly becomes more comfortable to maneuver from that position. It can be used with the usual nano USB receiver or with a USB cable (both are included), but also can connect via bluetooth for any computer capable of that option. I haven't used it for long, but I can already feel the difference in my hand and wrist just in the time I have been using it.
