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
Posted by: Mike
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!

The Nextbase 320XR and Rear Window Camera is the ideal solution for all-around protection on the roads in full HD quality. The front cam captures every detail in 1080p full HD at 30fps, with the aid of a 140° wide viewing angle. It utilizes the latest 2.5" screen with IPS technology for easy menu selection and playback. The 320XR uses the exclusive Click&Go PRO mount with integrated neodymium magnetic power connectors for easy installation and removal using just one hand. The 320XR Rear Window Camera connects to your front facing Dash Cam via a supplied 6.5m cable. It fits directly to your rear window with an easy to install self-adhesive pad. The magnetic, adjustable fixture means that it's suitable for angled windows in cars or more vertical van windows. The Rear Window Camera records in full 1080p HD with a wide 140 degree viewing angle to guard against everything from hit-and-run impacts to knocks and bumps in a car park. The 320XR also includes Intelligent Parking, which automatically starts recording when motion is detected, keeping your car safe when parked. For this feature, we recommend hardwiring in the Dash Cam using the Nextbase Hardwire Kit. Footage must be played back on a PC/Mac using Mynextbase Player or online using the free MyNextbase Cloud service (minimum requirements: Windows 10/OSX 10.9). The 320XR is not Bluetooth, and will NOT sync directly with the MyNextbase cell phone application.

Easy setup, okay video quality, touchy detection
on December 7, 2022
Posted by: Mike
I have been using the Nextbase 320XR Dash Cam for the last few weeks and have really enjoyed how easy it is to use after it's setup. They include all of the essentials you would need to get started and an extra windshield mounting plate for a second vehicle! The cables are all plenty long enough to route inside of panels or through barriers, the 3M mounting goo is very sticky but also forgiving enough to re-place at least two times in a few days and stay sturdily attached to the glass. The device itself is much smaller than I thought it would be, which is excellent to be able to "hide" it behind the rearview mirror, and can have the display turned off while moving. The initial setup of the software is nice and intuitive, but some of the menu items are only available in certain mode and there is no way to connect the dash cam to a phone or computer for easily setup and uploading. The video quality is more than sufficient for having viewable imagery after an incident and easy to offload with the quickly removeable micro-SD card. My only real issue is the incident/crash/sudden stop detection is very touchy, as in it will be extremely sensitive on one trip and barely responsive on another. Not a huge issue, but something I just didn't enjoy, but at the lowest setting it at least seems to be a little better.
Overall, I'd still recommend it for the daily commuter for a good price. Solidly built unit, easy to setup, and doesn't overheat!

Is the motherboard inverted??
Yes and no, the RAM and SSD are on the bottom, easily accessible, and the CPU & GPU are mounted on top/ facing the keyboard. There is a healthy amount of venting above the CPU & GPU as well as vapor chambers to assist with cooling, but to get to them you would have to remove the motherboard. You can see the backplates for the CPU & GPU just below the white cover over the cooling.

Is the m.2 1tb pci-e ssd drive a gen 3 or gen 4?
Hey packersfan036, I am also a Packers fan! From my research, SSD 1 (populated with the 1TB gen 3 SSD from the factory) is gen 4 and SSD 2 (empty from the factory) is only gen 3. Should be able to swap the bay and use a gen 4 on SSD 1. I have not tested this myself as I do not have a gen 4 SSD yet, but Mash IT on YouTube did and it worked well.

The Brydge 12.3 Pro+ wireless keyboard with touchpad matches the quality and functionality of the Surface Pro 4,5,6, and 7 seamlessly. Designed to meet the standards set by Microsoft, the Brydge 12.3 Pro+ features a precision touchpad, adjustable viewing angles and 3-level backlit keys, bringing a laptop-like experience to your Surface Pro.
Does the laptop have a front camera and is it also the laptop with the key board?
This is not a laptop, it is an accessory for the Microsoft Surface Pro (4 through 7) Windows tablet PCs. The keyboard base does allow for full use of the Surface Pro's front and rear camera. You would have to also have the separately sold Microsoft Surface Pro to fully use the Brydge Pro+.

Wemo WiFi Smart Outdoor Plug gives you total smart control over your lights, holiday decorations and other outdoor devices. Featuring two splash-proof and weather-resistant outlets, you can set schedules and control two devices together from anywhere by using the app or your voice with Apple HomeKit, Amazon Alexa, or Hey Google.* It’s perfect for the patio, yard or other spaces where you’d like to manage electric outlets. You can also use Away Mode to randomly turn porch or landscape lights on and off when you’re not home. Sync lights connected to the Smart Outdoor Plug with the sunset and you’ll walk out to a backyard that’s ready for evening activities.
Does this Wemo WiFi smart plug-outdoor, connect to a mesh WiFi system. I have some Wemo smart mini plugs thatonly connect to 2 ghz routers. The Mesh system I have doesn’t distinguish between 2 and 5 ghz bands, so the Wemo mini plugs do not connect my wifi
Seems very strange that you're having issues with connecting to the 2.4 GHz band, the plug should only see the band it can use and connect. I am running a Linksys MX10 Velop mesh router system and have had no problems connecting this or my other Wemo plug (Wemo Insight). It might be a good idea to try WPS to connect to the plugs or reach out directly to Belkin/Wemo for further assistance, they're great help if issues arise! After its set up to your network, it is incredibly easy to use!

I actually have 3 questions. Is this device gfi protected? Can I control each outlet separately? I’ve yet to see a straight answer on that question What are the current and temperature ratings for the device?
It is not independently GFI protected, but most/all outdoor outlets that it would plug into are required to be. Both outlets are controlled as one, i.e. if you turn off the outlet, they both turn off. For the current and temperature, it claims 32-104 Fahrenheit, but mine worked great yesterday and today with temperatures below 32 degrees (29 with a light drizzle and 24 with snow/sleet/rain, respectively) and has continued to worked fine.

Surface Duo adapts to you. Two ultra-thin, high-resolution touchscreens unfold to open new possibilities on a mobile device. Designed to help you be productive, Surface Duo features multiple modes, the best of Microsoft 365 mobile experiences, every Android™ app in the Google Play store, and new dual-screen enhanced apps.* Now you can view two apps at once or span one across both screens, drag and drop between screens, and make phone calls. Say goodbye to constant app switching. ¹Requires the Your Phone app, a Windows 10 PC with the latest Windows updates, and download of the Windows 10 app from the Windows store. ²Excluding Surface Duo Bumper. ³Local Video Playback: Testing conducted by Microsoft in July 2020 using preproduction Surface Duo units and software. Testing consisted of full battery discharge during local video playback on a single screen. Video playback consisted of a repeated 30-minute .mp4 file in 1080p at 24 fps. All settings were default except: LTE and Wi-Fi were both associated with a network with ‘ask to join’ disabled and Adaptive Brightness was disabled, screen was set to 100 nits. Battery life varies significantly with network and feature configuration, signal strength, settings, usage, and other factors. Battery has limited recharge cycles and cannot be replaced. ⁴Standby Time: Testing conducted by Microsoft in July 2020 in an AT&T Validated Lab using preproduction Surface Duo units and software. Testing conducted in accordance with AT&T requirements and test specifications. All settings were default, and network settings were: connected to LTE, and Wi-Fi was enabled but not connected.

Is it possible to use a different keyboard for a specific language? Spanish? Portuguese?
You are able to change the default language and add multiple additional languages for the keyboard through the "Language" settings. These are accessible through the phone Settings or directly through the keyboard! It is very easy to accomplish!

Will unlock version work on sprint network
The unlocked version should work on Sprint/T-Mobile, I would consult with them on which company's SIM to use due to their merger. It will likely be a T-Mobile SIM, but they should be able to definitively answer that for you through Sprint/T-Mobile customer service and the new SIM, if needed. It's really an amazing device!
