Listen and talk comfortably while staying active with these AfterShokz Sportz headphones. Their lightweight and flexible titanium headband provide pleasant wear and easy portability, and the noise-canceling microphone lets you converse smoothly. The bone conduction technology of these AfterShokz Sportz headphones transmit audio signals through your cheekbones to keep your ears receptive to the environment.

interesting concept, good quality sound

Overall, this item met or exceeded my expectations for a pair of headphones. I have never been much of a earbud fan, so I usually rock the over ear standard headphone look. It may not be the most trendy way to listen to music/youtube/my trusty podcasts at work, but it gets the job done and doesn't fall out of my ears a million times.
Eagerly, I waited for the arrival of these headphones, as I needed a new pair at work. My first impression was that I was rather impressed with their solid packaging. The box was very pleasing to the eye and it seemed solid and like the enclosed product was quality made. The headphones themselves felt a bit delicate at first, and made me feel like they might be easily breakable, especially if you are rough with them, as I tend to be. I tried to plug them in and test them as soon as I got them (I was eagerly waiting for them, remember?) but immediately out of the box they turned on once and then did not work. I wasn't expecting them to need charging in order to work. I still don't really understand why that is necessary, as they are not wireless headphones, but it is the case. Turning them on for the first time was surprisingly a bit more complex than I expected as well, as you need to hold the power button down for a few seconds to turn them on and then again to turn them off. I'm still not sure why they need to be turned on, as I expect wired headphones to plug in and amplify noise.
The cheekbone sound idea takes a bit to get used to, but I do appreciate the open ear design.

After charging them overnight, I used them at work all day and enjoyed crisp clear sound that did not disturb my neighbors when it was played through my podcast application, but YouTube audio did produce some excess music that could be heard by those in close range. I liked the idea of being able to have my ears free to hear if a co-worker needed me, but still be able to hear my music. I did have some issues adjusting the volume when the controls switched from my phone to the buttons on the headset cord, because it took a minute for the headphones to adjust up or down once the audio adjustment on my phone was made.
I enjoyed these headphones and would recommend them to others if they are looking for headphones that are pretty unobtrusive (they did not fall down or move much on my face during use) and produce crisp and clear sound quality. I would not recommend this to younger people, as I do believe the headphones are a bit delicate and would be an expensive pair to replace regularly. Additionally, I would suggest making sure that others are aware they do need to be charged, as this is something I was initially surprised by. This is a review for the AfterShokz Sportz Titanium w/Mic Bone Conduction Headphones that I received free of charge to do a beta test and review.

Free yourself from cartridges with this Epson Expression EcoTank all-in-one printer. It lets you scan, print and photocopy, yet where it stands out is with its revolutionary easy-to-fill ink tanks. The replacement bottles let you refill the inks on the side so that you don't have to keep buying cartridges for this Epson Expression EcoTank all-in-one printer.

Feature packed printer

This is a review for the Epson ET-3600 EcoTank that I received free of charge to do a beta test and review.
Pros:
This printer is an all in one and allows you to connect directly via USB, through Ethernet and wirelelessly through software or the printer interface. Epson says the printer can print 11,000 pages in black and white and 8,500 in color, The printer is supposed to have ink that is usable for up to two years. These are both impressive figures, as my common problem with printers is that the ink dries out before I can use all of the cartridge. EPSON has individual bottles for each color that you fill yourself on the side of the printer.

Cons:
This printer took a long time for me to set up. It was about an hour from unboxing to printing a page. I consider myself tech savvy and it seemed to take longer than I would have anticipated, but, you do have a 20 minute snack break while the ink charges. I also had difficulty connecting my printer to my existing wireless network, but this was easily remedied by manually entering the information for the network. It was slightly awkward and messy to fill ink manually. I think this is something I would get used to in time, but it was new to me as most of my printers have used cartridges.

Overall, despite the unexpectedly long setup, I would recommend this printer for personal use, or even for a small business. It packs a lot of features into a relatively small size and produces good quality prints.
