Excellent value, looks great!

The Insignia Trend hard-shell case is a great alternative to some of the official Apple cases and other brands out there. The case is mostly clear, but with a nice leafy design to give it a bit of character and has a good amount of protection for the iPhone 14 Pro Max. The case is just thick enough to give you an excellent sense of security and makes the device sit flat on a table, balancing out the back and making the camera bump unnoticeable! The buttons still give a nice tactile feel, good quality rubber over them, and makes it easy to find without having to search for the buttons. There are also a lot of different case designs so you can choose something that is more unique to your style and personality, or pick up a few of them to change up the look of your phone to match your style! The pricing is excellent, too! This is the second version of this case I've picked up, didn't clean the first as often as I should have. The clear plastic will start to yellow after a few months of heavy use, but if you clean it up regularly, it will stay looking great! Definitely recommend!

Very comfortable, lighter colors get dirty easy
on March 24, 2023
Posted by: Mike
The Modal nylon watch band is very comfortable and soft. The band is incredibly easy to install on the Apple Watch Series 7 and very easily adjusted to your wrist size. Even if the band is pulled tightly, it has ample amount of stretch to fit well and pull over the hand onto your wrist. At first I made the band way too tight, but it was still incredibly soft and the woven fibers feel wonderful all day. The only real negatives I have experienced are that the wristband gets dirty easily and it makes your wrist even sweatier than it would normally be during workouts. Both of these negatives are pretty easy to overcome by washing the band frequently (even just rinsing it in the sink or shower) and potentially by wearing a different wristband during workouts.
Overall, this is a fantastic watchband for the Apple Watch Series 7 (and the others models). It looks great, is incredibly soft, fits excellently, and is so easy to wear! This wristband does exactly what you hope a great watchband will do; be extremely comfortable to the point of not noticing it, and look great!

The 4th generation Motion Series ushers in a new era of design and aesthetics for MartinLogan. The three modern, yet timeless, colorways can compliment any room while being a focal point if so desired. Motion evokes a unique look and sound, pairing high-performance woofers with exclusive Folded Motion Tweeter technology, a staple of MartinLogan products. The Motion Waveguide enhances the Controlled Dispersion of the Gen2 Folded Motion Tweeter to a generous 90°(Vertical) by 90°(Horizontal) to accommodate a wide range of seating and speaker placement options, while avoiding clarity destroying sound reflections within the environment.

Versatile, beautiful, and sound amazing!
on March 17, 2023
Posted by: Mike
The new fourth generation MartinLogan Motion MP10 bookshelf speakers bring a high level of clarity and detail in a compact, stylish package! The folded tweeter provides crisp, accurate highs that pair excellently with the woven fiber 5.5” diameter mid-range driver. The “wave guide” over the tweeter and the “stealth” bass port delivers a wide listening stage that doesn’t require finding the perfect spot for surround speakers or as a pair of bookshelves used for main drivers. I tried these on their own in a stereo setup and wow do they fill the room! I put on a playlist of my favorite songs (lossless quality) on Apple Music and enjoyed a full afternoon of incredible listening with just these bookshelves, I completely forgot to hook the matching F10 towers back up! I have them paired with the matching C10 center channel and F10 tower speakers. The set works phenomenally together to create a truly cinematic experience without having to worry about sticky theater floors, $15 popcorn, and uncomfortable seats!
The look of the speakers is a very nice piano black, except the front which is a matte black. This does present the challenge of keeping them clean, they don’t really attract fingerprints (not a huge worry after they’re installed) but they are magnets for dust! The logo is a nice little badge that you can flip depending on how you orient the speakers, as they can be mounted or stand on their own on either end of the cabinet, too!
All around, the speakers are absolutely stunningly beautiful, crisp, and accurate. I would recommend them with the only caveat being the dust, but the real winner is the sound quality. These speakers will draw your attention so deeply into what you’re listening to, music or movies, that you might not remember notice the beautifully designed cabinets!

Beautiful design, crisp and wide listening stage
on March 17, 2023

The new fourth generation MartinLogan Motion C10 center channel speaker brings a high level of clarity and detail in a compact, stylish package! The folded tweeter provides crisp, accurate highs that pair excellently with the dual 5.5" drivers. The “wave guide” over the folded motion tweeter delivers a very wide listening stage to fill the room with clear, accurate vocals and a little bit of extra punch with the rear-firing bass port. This is incredibly useful for those, like myself, who do not have a perfectly squared off living/great room that can use a little extra help filling the off-angles of the open concept room with clearly heard dialogue! I have them paired with the matching F10 Towers and MP10 bookshelf speakers as surrounds. The set works phenomenally together to create a truly cinematic experience without having to worry about sticky theater floors, $15 popcorn, and uncomfortable seats!
The styling of the cabinet is a very nice piano black, except the front which is a matte black. This does present the challenge of keeping it clean, it doesn't really attract fingerprints (not a huge worry after it's installed) but it is a magnet for dust! There is a cover that offers an acoustically clear means of keeping dust off the cabinet, but it’s not a look for everyone, even if it does easily come off to show the speaker off when guests come over.
All around, the speaker is absolutely stunningly beautiful, crisp, and accurate. I would recommend it with the only caveat being the dust, but the real winner is the sound quality. The Motion series of speakers will draw your attention so deeply into what you’re listening to, music or movies, that you might not remember notice the beautifully designed cabinet!

Clean, crisp sound. Beautifully designed cabinets!
on March 17, 2023
Posted by: Mike
The new fourth generation MartinLogan Motion 10 Tower speakers bring a high level of clarity and detail in a compact, stylish package! The folded tweeter provides crisp, accurate highs that pair excellently with the woven fiber mid and dual bass drivers (all three 5.5” diameter drivers). The “wave guide” over the tweeter and the down-firing bass port disperses pressure to the floor, using it as a means to deliver a very wide listening stage for the pair that requires almost no adjusting the speakers throughout the room to fill the space and create a precise image between the left and right speakers. This is incredibly useful for those, like myself, who do not have a perfectly squared off living/great room that can assist most speakers with filling the room. These speakers fill the entire room with ease! I have them paired with the matching C10 center channel and MP10 bookshelf speakers as surrounds. The set works phenomenally together to create a truly cinematic experience without having to worry about sticky theater floors, $15 popcorn, and uncomfortable seats! The crossover works great at targeting which frequencies to send to which drivers, but they truly sound best when bi-amplified (made easy by removing the keyed metal plates, which also make re-installing the plates easy).
The look of the speakers is a very nice piano black, except the front which is a matte black. This does present the challenge of keeping them clean, they don’t really attract fingerprints (not a huge worry after they’re installed) but they are magnets for dust! They do come with covers that offer an acoustically clear means of keeping dust off the cabinets, but it’s not a look for everyone, even if they do easily come off to show the speakers off when guests come over (which you will want to do).
All around, the speakers are absolutely stunningly beautiful, crisp, accurate, and easily to set up. The dial adjusting feet make it so easy to level the speakers, you'll wonder why anyone (myself included) would ever fight with small tools or lifting speakers to get a tower balanced! I would recommend them with the only caveat being the dust, but the real winner is the sound quality. These speakers will draw your attention so deeply into what you’re listening to, music or movies, that you might not remember notice the beautifully designed cabinets or some dust/dust covers.

Amazing quality, great case, and I can HEAR!
on February 17, 2023
Posted by: Mike
The Lexie B1 hearing aids by Bose are incredibly easy to use and lightweight! I suffer from hearing loss that is especially bad if there are a lot of other ambient voices, the Lexie Hearing app allows you to focus in either in front of you or all around. The app also allows for either preset or customized hearing profiles for different settings and environments. The box contains everything you need to get started and you are immediately welcomed by the Bose quality materials one would expect from a product made by Bose. It contains the hearing aids inside the very nice, compact carrying case that in no way screams "these are hearing aids." The box also contains the quick start guide to get you started with fitting and using the Lexie Hearing app, along with different size ear tips and wires. The fit is very comfortable and easy to adjust to your preference and the aids themselves are incredibly lightweight! You will barely know they're there, which can be an issue if they call out... a good fit is especially important to prevent this! The carrying case has no electronics but offers a very protective environment for your hearing aids while you're not using them. There is no power switch, instead you open the battery door to turn them off for long periods... a simple but odd solution. The battery is incredibly long lasting, even if you forget to open the battery door, the battery will survive well into the next few days. I have only had to replace the batteries once in the month I have been using these (I mostly wear them in the afternoon when out or during in-person work meetings, 3-4 hours a day). Overall, I would absolutely recommend these to anyone who is suffering from hearing loss and is looking for an off the shelf solution to help make your life better! I would even recommend these over the B2, as the common hearing aid battery in this device promotes life beyond the lithium battery in the B2 and easily replaceable when travelling in places that may not offer USB power options.

Excellent cut with a nice case!
on February 13, 2023
Posted by: Mike
This electric razor offers one of the best shaves I've ever experienced with an electric razor! The cut is smooth and efficient when used dry or wet and the screen and buttons are easily distinguished. The included accessories are extremely nice and offer an extremely premium feel. The razors in the cutting head are very sharp and provide a smooth transition around the face and scalp with no fear of accidental cuts, pulling or tugging of the hair. The razor body is heavier than lower cost razors, with a very nice balance and feel in the hand, much of which is due to the more metal construction and straight trimmer not being affixed on the back of the trimmer like many others have. The straight trimmer (commonly used for trimming sideburns and beard edges) is a completely separate head attachment that offers the same flexibility as the cutting head and offers a very smooth, quiet operation. Cleaning is extremely easy, with the razor including Philips Norelco's self-cleaning base and solution in the box. You just set the razor in the base when it alerts you on the display (or when you feel ready) and hit start.
Overall the razor is fantastic and easy to use, providing an excellent shave with little to no skin irritation. I would definitely recommend, especially if it is on sale!

The Philips Norelco Shaver 7600 glides smoothly over your skin, while cutting each hair close - even on 3-day beards. Equipped with SenseIQ technology, the shaver senses, adapts and guides on the correct motion, for better skin protection.

Great value for face shaving
on February 8, 2023
Posted by: Mike
The Philips Norelco S7000 electric shaver is a great value for keeping your face clean and tidy but cuts short of being capable for the whole head. As someone who is follicly challenged, I have an assortment of trimmers, shavers, and razors to keep my face and scalp in tidy order. This electric shaver works very well on the face, with the three circular foil cutting surfaces and the microbead surface making for a smooth shaving experience, with or without shaving cream. The pop-out beard & sideburn trimmer on the back works great for making clean lines on your beard and/or sideburns and is still conveniently located on the shaver itself, something that some higher-end shavers are starting to shift to an attachment head. The new charging cable is fantastic! If it had been USB-C, that would have been perfect, but the shift to USB-A is a phenomenal move away from the older proprietary chargers.
The only thing that worked poorly for me was I was cleaning up my beard and head, the beard trimming worked fantastically, but shifting to cleaning up the head was a bit more challenging with multiple passes required to remove the hair and the cut not being quite "razor close." This isn't really the intended use of this shaver, but is an excellent added benefit when you can get that silky smooth shaving experience with one shaver. I had about 5 days of growth on both my head and neck, the neck was shaved perfectly, the head shaving works much better if you stick with daily or every other day.
Overall, the unit is exceptionally built, looks sharp, cleans the face and beard very well, and is a capable daily head razor, all at a very attractive price. If you need something more powerful or full head capable and are willing to pay the premium for a little more cutting power, check out the S9000 series (more powerful cutting surface). If you want an exceptionally capable daily electric razor, you've found it here!

Everything you need in a home & office printer!
on January 2, 2023
Posted by: Mike
Let me start by saying this printer is replacing my previous Canon MegTank PIXMA that I used for actual printing (thanks to its clear prints and seemingly endless supply of ink!) and an Epson WorkForce that was used mostly for larger document scanning (thanks to the ADF and ink cartridges that never seemed to have ink, hence the other Canon). I mostly do a lot of financial document scanning and photography prints, making the combination that is this Canon MAXIFY the absolute best all-in-one for my needs by combining the incredibly MegaTank system with a not-so-boring looking office workhorse! The design is pleasant to look at, setup is unbelievably easy and fast, the print quality is fantastic, scan quality is amazing, and the auto-document feeder work flawlessly! Not to mention that the paper tray holds near a full ream of paper (350 sheets, I believe) and there are multiple other paper trays for oversized prints and envelope or short run prints, so you don't have to empty your feeder tray every time you want need to print a batch of envelopes!
Overall, this is an incredible and welcome replacement for our two printer setup and home office! I would definitely recommend this for anyone looking for an excellent all-in-one printer that has enough ink to last a long time (and an excellent shelf life!) and the functionality of a much larger office all-in-one!

Absolutely worth the cost!
on December 18, 2022
Posted by: Mike
I have been suffering from hearing loss for years and waiting on a good solution while awaiting assistance from the VA audiology clinic. Having the option and ability to purchase high quality hearing aids like the Lexie B2 powered by Bose over the counter is incredible! The second I put these one, I was able to hear things that I can't remember how long it's been since I had heard them last! Everything is crystal clear with incredible definition, especially in crowded environments! The rechargeable batteries hold a charge through the entire day, allowing you to hear everything you need throughout the working day and all the way to bed. Setup is very quick and intuitive, with a very easy to follow guided program to ensure you have the best fit and a comfortable use. The fit is very comfortable, not quite the same as some of the best earbuds, but so lightweight, you barely notice they're on your ears!
As someone in their early 30s with significant hearing loss, these have been life changing since receiving them a few weeks ago. I would definitely recommend these hearing aids to those looking for an excellent quality option that you don't need to wait years to receive. Absolutely amazing change in my life being able to actually hear again!

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).

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.

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.

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.
