Great quality, after you get used to the quirks.
on September 1, 2023
Posted by: Mike
Last Wednesday, I decided I was going to wear these for a quick 5k run. I've done this very same test with other hearing aids I've tried in the past and pretty much every set of earbuds I've ever had. I was excited for run club, got off work in time to get there without having to catch up or go out on my own, the fit of these hearing aids in daily wear around the neighborhood and in the office had me believe that they'd do an amazing job keeping wind noise at bay and allow me to hear those around me clearly. This is how they performed in all those situations: crystal clear voices, music was crisp and clean, little to no wind noise, and the microphones are on the earbud, not the receiver on top of the ear. Sadly, I was not able to use them as I left them in the charging case after having charged them... which meant they had been on for over a day, slowly draining the battery and making them unusable for my run. That test is now meant for a different day. The moral of the story is, with these hearing aids, MAKE SURE YOU TURN THEM OFF!
Overall, I absolutely love the fit, the styling, the sound quality for music and general world noise. These are some top-notch hearing aids that I would absolutely recommend to someone with more mild and situational hearing loss. I use them when we go out into crowded spaces, restaurants, bars, etc. They are fantastic, just a little quirky. Read the manual a few times, play with all the settings and enjoy the very easy to use app! I'm sure I'll make the mistake of leaving them in the charger after unplugging it again, that case is the only reason I am deducting one star, when they're done charging, the hearing aids are "on" and will remain that way until you turn them off or they run out of battery. Honestly a minor issue that will likely (hopefully) be fixed in a software update.
You can't beat the sound quality and comfort of these, way to go Sennheiser! Highly recommend!

So easy to set up and crystal clear!
on August 17, 2023
Posted by: Mike
The Night Owl Wireless 2k 1TB NVR security camera system is an incredible value and so easy to set up! When you first open the box, you're met with a quick start guide that leads you into the simple set up process. Like, open packaging, download app, follow app instructions, enjoy. Okay, maybe not entirely that easy, you do still have to mount the cameras where you're like them, but the mounting hardware is right in the box of each of the individually boxed WiFi cameras! The cameras can be operated with the NVR box, or by using they backup micro-SD card slot on each of the cameras! The cameras can also be operated independent of the NVR in the box, even when set up in the same app. This system is so incredibly flexible and the app is extremely easy to use.
The reliability of the system so far has been excellent, with my front door camera staying online in gale force winds and sideways rain the same day I put it up. Very sturdy casing on the cameras and a good selection of ports on the NVR for expansion and use without the app via a TV or monitor, which you can use alongside the app on your phone and/or tablet. This system is perfect for someone looking for a whole house video surveillance system that offers flexibility in use and the amount of cameras you can deploy, the kit comes with 6 in the box but can handle up to 10! This is an excellent and extremely flexible system! The picture quality is great, too! I'd recommend!

Fast, cool, easy to install

The Crucial P5 Plus internal SSD is the perfect companion to expand your PS5 or PC's internal storage! The integrated heatsink helps keep the ultra-fast PCIe Gen 4 drive cool while under sustained loads, allowing you to keep the drive running at maximum performance for longer! I also tested this drive in the USB3.2 Gen2x2 external enclosure, and it performed incredibly well! Even through the heatsink made it impossible to put the enclosures cover back on, it performed as well as more expensive Samsung, SanDisk, and Western Digital external drives and added a little extra durability to the drive. I was able to reach performance about on par as my SanDisk USB3.2 Gen2x2 drive, as seen in the included pictures. The heatsink surround the entire drive, with cooling channels down the top and through the center, held in place via thermal compound and by four screws into the bottom heat sink. This thing is truly stellar and the best choice at this price! Another homerun from Crucial in providing excellent performance at an even better price! I would highly recommend this to someone looking for a second (or third) game drive in their PC or as an upgrade for their PS5, especially as games continue to grow larger!

Affordable, good sound quality, no app
on June 30, 2023
Posted by: Mike
Go Ultra Hearing Aids are a very nice alternative to other more costly, more complex OTC self-fitting hearing aids on the market. The offer a good sound quality and extremely easy setup, with a simple pairing to your phone or preferred Bluetooth capable device to stream audio to them. The best part of this is not having to choose between wearing your hearing aids or wearing earbuds/headphones. Something that I absolutely love about these, is that they fit perfectly comfortably in my ears while running! I've tried so many other options to get clear hearing and be able to listen to music while running. This is a huge advantage over some of the more expensive devices out there that are only now starting to open up the ability to stream calls through the required Bluetooth connection. The only real negative is that the charging case is huge! It's like carrying an early 2000s camera phone in your pocket, but it does offer a good battery life and the battery life of the hearing aids is great. Listening to quiet music and general hearing aid use while at work I can get a full workday of battery.
All in all, these are a great option for someone looking for something simple, easy to use, and has great battery but is not worried about the size of the case or the lack of a companion app. These do work great, and I would still recommend them. The case size is the only thing that takes them down the 4/5 stars.

HP Hearing PRO Self-Fitting OTC Hearing Aids are innovative products that look nothing like a traditional hearing aid. Built to medical device standards and meeting all FDA requirements for safety and efficacy, the HP Hearing PRO features Ear ID™ self-fitting software and technology powered by Nuheara. Ear ID™ has been clinically proven to be substantially equivalent to a professionally-fit hearing aid. The proprietary Ear ID™ software tests the wearer’s individual hearing thresholds from low frequency to high frequency in each ear, then automatically programs the HP Hearing PRO hearing aids for each ear. This ability for the consumer to self-fit through the HP Hearing application, for iOS and Android platform mobile devices, allows a quick and easy acclimation experience for the consumer. The entire acclimation experience takes about 10-15 minutes from unboxing through customization of the user’s personalized profile to accommodate their perceived mild to moderate hearing loss. In addition to the HP Hearing PRO’s capabilities as an OTC hearing aid, this innovative product streams media and phone calls via Bluetooth®. The Active Noise Cancellation minimizes background noise for an immersive sound experience when streaming phone calls or music. Additional features include an HP Hearing app for iOS and Android, Rechargeable built-in Li-ion batteries, and Charge Case for on-the-go charging Most importantly, the HP Hearing PRO has been clinically validated through research completed by the National Acoustic Laboratories to provide a 30% speech understanding improvement in the presence of noise using the directional microphone feature called Focus. This is a significant benefit for consumers in restaurants or social situations where background noise makes understanding speech difficult. Now, at the touch of the HP Hearing app, a wearer can switch the directional microphone settings to Focus on sounds towards their front, quickly allowing for immediate improvement in speech understanding.

Great quality sound and convenience of Bluetooth!
on May 24, 2023
Posted by: Mike
The HP Hearing PRO Self-fitting hearing aids are a phenomenal choice for those who are hard of hearing but don't like the look, fit, feel, and headphone/earbud limitations of traditional hearing aids. The latter is one of the greatest benefits that these hearing aids offer, you can use them as your Bluetooth listening device for music! This is fantastic as it integrates two primary things I like to use my ears for, listening to music and being able to hear people! I previously relied on earbuds that have an ambient mode, which usually works just okay for people with good hearing and bad to dangerous for those with limited hearing. After getting my first pair of hearing aids, they were the traditional type with the bulk of the device behind ears and no ability to use earbuds with them. These solve that problem by combining the devices and doing so in a sleek, rechargeable package!
The look and sound quality are excellent, the battery life is great (around 8 continuous hours of listening to music and coworkers in the office), and size of the charging case is fantastically compact! You can throw these in your pocket at the start of the day and use them when you need them, or leave them in your ears all day with comfort! I highly recommend, especially at this price point!

Excellent health insights and looks amazing!
on May 19, 2023
Posted by: Mike
As someone who is not married and doesn't normally wear rings, the Oura Ring Gen3 took a bit of getting used to from the start. Luckily, the ring also needed to get used to me! So we were in the journey together! After a few weeks, the insights you get are fantastic and really help you learn more about how to better prime your body for exercise, work, play, and recovery. I am in an odd situation of that I am a daily wearer of a Garmin Forerunner 965 (945lte for the first week) and have been wearing a Whoop for the last two years (prepaid two years, running out in June '23), so I have a few different lenses to compare my health and fitness insights.
First off, my Whoop subscription is NOT going to be renewed. That is largely thanks to the direct comparison of Garmin gaining most of the features that used to make my Whoop strap a key companion to my watch, until Garmin added HRV/better sleep/and other tracking. Truly though, the final nail in the coffin of my Whoop subscription was receiving the Oura Ring, which I had been curious to try for years but was wary about the comfort of wearing a ring versus a wristband. After wearing two health & fitness trackers on my wrists for the last two years, I was a quick convert to the loving the ring concept! It looks great, brings little additional attention in non-athletic settings, it quite comfortable and barely noticeable after a while of wearing it, and the tracking itself is very good.
The hardware experience is fantastic from the start. You first receive a sizing kit with rings sized from 6 to 13, complete with the sensor bumps formed in, so you can find the right size and test out the feel of the ring before ordering the actual ring. This is a really nice touch so you don't need to go to a jeweler, go through numerous sized returns, or like the size in the first few seconds to minutes but after a day or two of wear determine it's too tight, loose, or just on the wrong finger. I looked ridiculous with a 5 of the different sizes on at once, but I wanted to ensure I chose the right size and finger to order for. Oura does offer a one-time resize, at least after I ordered mine, but it's best to get it right on the first try with the plastic ones. You do get to hold on to the kit, which Oura encourages you to share with friends, family, competitors, coworkers, anyone who might ask about your new ring and show interest in trying the fit out. Shipping after submitting your size to Oura is very fast! So try the plastic rings out for an extra day, rather than having to order a different size later.
Not all is great, though. The app is nice and easy to figure out, but the activity types to choose from feels far from a "Gen 3" experience by only offering outdoor running, outdoor cycling, indoor running, indoor cycling, and walking. No swimming, I dislike the swimming portion of my racing (slow, back of the pack triathlons) but it is still a very necessary activity to have regardless of how well the heart tracking perform in water. It does perform well in water, in my experience, shockingly well for something that has a little space between the optical sensors and the skin. Now, I don't feel there is a need to track an activity of "watching football" like Whoop offers, but even an "other" would be nice to have. That is truly the only reason this gets 4 stars instead of 5 and with it clearly being an app issue, I hope it is fixed soon so we can fully enjoy this wonderful device!
Overall, I love wearing the Oura Ring. I love the look and comfort of it, even with the increasingly frequent questions of if my significant other and I went an eloped/got married. This is a fantastic device from the sizing kit to the setup to the daily use and battery life. Absolutely excellent hardware, and pretty good software. With a few more common activities added, this thing is a home run for the active data nut/bio hacker that wants to be classy and subtle about it person!

High Performance Computer and Electronics UPS for Premium Power Protection

Compact footprint and clear screen
on May 12, 2023
Posted by: Mike
The APC Back-UPS Pro BN1050M is the ultimate solution for keeping you up and running during brief power outages or to give you the peace of mind that your sensitive computer and networking equipment is safe and sound behind this relatively compact UPS. I replaced an aging Amazon Basics 850VA UPS from 2017 with this APC 1050VA unit and I am shocked by how much smaller it is! The vertical orientation versus horizontal on the floor is a massive space saving design and the overall size is a least 50% smaller but with the same number of protected and UPS outlets between the two. The APC Back-UPS Pro also features a hand screen that shows you the battery remaining, usage, and other important information about your UPS without requiring it be connected to your computer via USB, which it also offers for a richer set of options to maneuver around with your mouse.
Overall, this is an incredible option to go with to protect your modem, router, and computer to keep them all safe from power surges and power outages, giving you more than enough time to safely save and shutdown without fear of data loss!

These worked great!
on May 2, 2023
Posted by: Mike
Since starting to use hearing aids in addition to ear plugs for sleep, I have suffered from occasional ear blockages and earaches (especially during heavy allergy times). Previously I have just relied on using a combination of warm and cold compresses, ibuprofen, and waiting it out as I can barely hear and feel like my head was in a vice. Most of the time it would only last a few days, but nothing quite relieved the pain and clogged ears like these earache drops from Hyland's Naturals! I've been experiencing one of the worst bouts of ear pain and congestion I have ever experienced, due to a heavier than normal pollen count, too many meetings at work that required my hearing aids to be in all day, and wearing earplugs more nights due to my partner's snoring being especially loud, again, due to the Spring pollen count and the associated allergies. These drops worked great to lessen the pain and helped open my ears up, more and more each time I used the drops. I did learn after the first time I used them to keep a tissue around to catch the drainage, but after that I had no other issues!
Overall, I would definitely recommend these for anyone looking for something that is a little friendlier on the body by using natural ingredients versus chemical compounds to clear your ears and ease the pain of occasional earaches from hearing aid, ear buds, and/or ear plugs!

This monitor has ruined other monitors for me.
on May 2, 2023
Posted by: Mike
First off, the Corsair Xeneon Flex 45" OLED Bendable QHD 240Hz monitor is a mouthful to say when people come from far and wide to see how far you can bend this ultrawide display!
All joking aside, this thing is a monster, in so many amazing ways.
I'll start with the cons:
-I wish this was 4k, but at the same price or lower.
-The handles are plastic.
-There is no VESA or any other mounting ability and a massive base.
-No matter how many times you bend and flatten it, you will be slightly terrified that you bent it too far.
-I wish this was 4k, but at the same price or lower.
-The handles are plastic.
-There is no VESA or any other mounting ability and a massive base.
-No matter how many times you bend and flatten it, you will be slightly terrified that you bent it too far.
The pros, however, are innumerable. But here are some of the highlights:
-Unbelievable contrast!
-Incredibly accurate color reproduction.
-Simple and easy to use GUI menu.
-Ports, so many I/O ports!
-The screen size, aspect ratio, and border size are all perfect!
-Unboxing is quick, safe, and easy!
-Unbelievable contrast!
-Incredibly accurate color reproduction.
-Simple and easy to use GUI menu.
-Ports, so many I/O ports!
-The screen size, aspect ratio, and border size are all perfect!
-Unboxing is quick, safe, and easy!
I have to say, this monitor is leaps and bounds better than my old monitor setup, which was an HP OMEN 27x (1440P 165Hz) and an ASUS 27" (1080P 165Hz) that I was using for both work and play. I was a little skeptical about how going to "just" one monitor was going to work out. After some adjustment of my workflow, the seamless screen environment and sharp picture was a fantastic switch for my work productivity. My coworkers are hugely envious of my home office setup, more than they were before, even to the point where my boss may do something incredibly but slightly fiscally irresponsible and splurge on these or something similar for our office (maybe just himself at first). As a finance and accounting professional working in green energy tech, we use Excel A LOT. At 100% viewing on a new worksheet, I can see from A to BA (nice) without having to scroll! The adjustability in Windows 11 to snap windows in all different directions allows me to setup my screen similarly to my dual monitor setup, but with the ability to snap something into the middle of the screen. This would previously have been impossible without some deeply annoying bezels in the way. My work has hugely benefited from the Xeneon Flex! Even being able to adjust the level of curve or make the screen completely flat has been a huge help on eye strain by putting more of my work directly into my primary range of vision!
For play: just wow. This is unbelievable to game on! Driving and racing games (Forza and GTA V) with the curve maxed out (800r, I believe) brings you right into the middle of the action! Same with COD and other FPSs, Civ6 is one of the few games I have found that doesn't really benefit from from some level of curve. Although it doesn't hurt the gameplay, either.
Overall, this is one incredible screen for work, play, and entertainment! The cost is on the higher side for a 1440P monitor, but this is also like getting two of the best OLED 1440P monitors. It is well worth the cost and such an amazing value, as long as you don't NEED to mount it on a VESA or other kind of mount. You won't bee disappointed in your decision to purchase this!

Big storage, has a numpad, and nice touchscreen!
on April 26, 2023
Posted by: Mike
The new Acer Aspire 3 15.6" is an excellent choice for students, small business owners, and those who work remotely who want something compact, affordable, and has good battery life! I do a lot of work remotely and on the road, having the numpad and good battery life is crucial to be able to function while away from the office as an accountant! The build quality is pretty good, there is a decent amount of flex in the chassis under the keyboard, but that flex also helps in the durability of the laptop. The inclusion of a matte finish touchscreen is absolutely fantastic! There is little to no glare, I do wish it was a little brighter but the finish really helps make the screen visible in most environments. The DDR5 is really snappy and responsive, a great compliment to the AMD Ryzen APU. The RAM is NOT upgradeable, which is unfortunate for gaming or more intensive tasks, but many older and lighter games will run very nicely when you have some downtime. The 512GB SSD is a fantastic inclusion as it offers more than enough offline storage for work, school, and fun! Also, the SSD IS upgradeable!
Overall, this is a fantastic budget option for the road warrior and remote worker while also being a great option for students, especially those who will be off to college this fall! I wish the RAM wasn't soldered onto the motherboard, but that is common on thin and light devices like this.

Does it work for PlayStation 4??
Sure can! There are two included cables in the box, I would recommend using the one that has the audio dial and mic must switch built into it. Just have to plug the 3.5 mm cable into the 3.5 mm headset port on the bottom of the Dual Shock 4 controller.

Can i use this during my workout sessions I have read articles which says it is not sweat proof and water resistant. I need to understand how bad can it get or damage the product if used during the workout? Is it ok to use or not recommended for workout
I was curious about this too. So, I decided to take a risk yesterday and used them on a 5 mile run. 96 degrees with a heat index of 113 and the last mile was heavy rain, drenched in sweat and they're still working like a charm! I would recommend to wipe them off immediately and set them out to dry before putting them back in the case though, just to make sure no water and salt get in the case or stay on the metal contacts.

Enjoy hours of reliability and speed with this HP Pavilion desktop. Its AMD Ryzen 5 processor and 12GB of RAM let you accomplish multiple tasks at the same time, and its 1TB hard drive provides plenty of space for file storage. This HP Pavilion desktop comes with a wired keyboard and mouse for interacting with Windows 10 Home.
how long has this been on the market I cant find any reviews any where I bought it because it sounds good on the inside and the last HP Pavillion I bought in 2011 is still running mostly good but I am preparing for needing a new 1
I just received mine Wednesday (7/18) that was on order, it hasn't been out very long, maybe a few weeks? I've really been enjoying the system, great machine for heavier productivity work (massive spreadsheets and documents) that you'd never think better graphics would help and playing some PC games that were a little too intensive to play and keep my laptop cool enough. Check out my review listed under "Mike" and should have a "Tech Insider Network" listed under my name (if you're looking on the website and not a mobile app).

Enjoy hours of reliability and speed with this HP Pavilion desktop. Its AMD Ryzen 5 processor and 12GB of RAM let you accomplish multiple tasks at the same time, and its 1TB hard drive provides plenty of space for file storage. This HP Pavilion desktop comes with a wired keyboard and mouse for interacting with Windows 10 Home.
Graphics card? Dedicated or integrated? Does it have it's own Vram? Or shares the 12GB system ram?
Integrated into the APU, kind of like a 2-in-1 setup. Beats out the Intel HD integrated graphics but nowhere close to a good dedicated GPU, though there is space in the machine for that upgrade. The APU dedicates 1024 MB (1GB) for graphics and the rest is allocated for sharing between regular tasks and graphics. During GTA V I got a readout of over 3GB of RAM being brought over for graphics to keep it at 1080P 45 FPS. There are definitely ways that you can dedicate more of the system RAM to graphics but, side by side, a decent dedicated GPU is going to beat it out.

What is the model of the processor? amd ryzen 5 1400, 1600, or 2600?

Please Explain: Number Of Memory Slots 2 Number of Memory Sticks Included 3
I found this a bit confusing too, might be a type-o or that it's counting the HDD as part of the memory included? It's 2 memory sticks and slots for RAM, 1 spot for a 3.5" HDD.

What are the ram sticks that come with the computer? is it (1) 8gb and (1)4gb?
That is correct. I was curious about it when I received the unit, so I opened the casing to verify that it was. Easy upgrade to get to 16 if you'd like, one easy to remove screw and panel but the RAM is a little tight where it's placed on the motherboard.

Enhance your viewing experience with this 65-inch LG LED television. The Intelligent Processor maximizes color, depth and sharpness to produce a more realistic picture. This LG LED television has Dolby Atmos to deliver theater-quality audio.
can i hook it to the coaxial cable that comes out of the wall, or do i need some kind of RF converter?
That's entirely up to your cable/satellite provider, most will require some form of box to receive their services now. If you're using a whole home antenna system, you'll be fine. This set has a digital tuner to receive over-the-air SD and HD broadcast channels.
