Clear, crisp sound, great mic for recording
on May 6, 2021
Posted by: 30stmrox
from Philadelphia, PA
This mic can be used for streaming but since we aren’t into that it was tested for recording live music which is what we wanted it for. The mic is retro looking & comes packaged in a nice wooden box with padding & a sliding lid. It is small & lightweight but sturdy. The stand is comes with fits in a mic stand, is adjustable & floats so it doesn’t cause vibration. I used 20db cut because otherwise it will squeal.
I recorded acoustic, electric & bass guitar into a Boss BR900 difgital recorder. Recorded vocals from many angles & distances ( 1” to across the room) also from different volumes like whispering to singing at the top of my lungs. The 20db cut feature is a godsend in a P.A. system. Tone & clarity are excellent. It’s hard to find something that this microphone doesn’t do well. I didn’t notice as much with the high pass filter switch. I kept the ambient noise to a minimum & the microphone is very sensitive. I would expect this microphone to cost way more than it does & it’s a great value for the price. I can’t wait to record more music with this & would highly recommend this precision instrument for any home or professional studio!

Pass on this one
on March 31, 2021
Posted by: 30stmrox
from Philadelphia, PA
This is a great concept & I wanted to really like it but based on my trial of two units, I can’t leave a great review. This is a nice compact projector, lightweight & small that you can easily take it anywhere, also has a wrist strap. It has a great picture too, it’s clear, crisp, looks like you’re watching tv & adjusts to 80”, it adjusts automatically to the size of the wall your projecting on, speaker, when it’s working has a pretty decent sound, but that’s where it ends.
Here’s the bad stuff.... the first unit I had only had a picture & no sound. Sound was only in commercials & trailers. No sound through headphones, or fire stick or blu ray. The second unit I received did the same thing. Apps that are built in are very, very limited & I couldn’t connect Netflix, Disney+ or HBO Max, I could only connect to Hulu. Everything is geared towards Android & if you have any Apple products, which I do, you need an adapter. There aren’t any instructions & although helpful , all troubleshooting was done by text & email. It seems like this needed more research or updating before it was released. It really could’ve been a cool device but it has too many issues.

Only charges USB-C
on March 30, 2021
Posted by: 30stmrox
from Philadelphia, PA
This is a great outlet for the wall, installed easily, looks good & charges devices fairly quick by usb connection. Makes it easy to leave the cable plugged in & ready. It will only charge a usb-c though, other usb will not fit. So if you have an older phone or tablet you may want to pass this one by.

Great sound
on March 19, 2021
Posted by: 30stmrox
from Philadelphia, PA
I have an older model soundlink revolve & thought how nice it would be if it had a carrying handle, this model does & makes it easier to carry, this is a bit larger than the older model but still fairly lightweight. The battery charged quickly & is suppose to last up to 17 hours per charge, I can’t comment on that yet since I only used it about 4 hours. Connection was simple, it flawlessly connnected in under a minute. I only had the sound halfway & it was loud, crisp, clear. 360 degree sound so no matter where it sits you can hear it. The controls are simple & easy to use, you can’t adjust bass or treble but the balance sounds perfect already. I believe you can adjust these things & more through the app but I couldn’t get the app to recognize my device. The speaker is dust & water resistant not waterproof. A very sturdy portable device with great sound.

Complimentary bath with flossing
on March 13, 2021
Posted by: 30stmrox
from Philadelphia, PA
I was excited to get this because I heard good things about water flossers. It was easy to set up & use but that’s about where it ends. It does do a good job on flossing, better than getting the string stuck but you can’t take it with you. Although it’s a bit small, it’s not super compact for travel. It did remove peanuts from my teeth & felt good afterward but it is super messy, don’t know if I have a defective one or not but water is constantly running down my hands & it sprayed on my face. You must keep this over a sink & in your mouth when you turn it on or you & your house will get a bath. I found that out the hard way! There are 10 speeds & even on 1 it is quite a powerful spray.
The water reservoir holds a fair amount of water but it seems to get used rather quickly. The unit is quite loud while using it. The cord is pretty short & comes with 6 different tips & magnetically attaches to the base. There are tips for regular use, braces, crowns, retainers, implants, dentures, etc. Battery is suppose to last up to 4 weeks per charge, time will tell on that.
I have sensitive teeth so even using room temperature water & on the lowest speed my teeth were hurting.
I really wanted to like this but I’m not impressed, I’ll keep practicing using it , maybe there’s a knack to it & I’ll try to use warm water to cut down on the sensitivity.

Love the color night vision
on November 19, 2020
Posted by: 30stmrox
from Philadelphia, PA
I have an older Arlo camera set & this is a nice upgrade. It connected easily with my old hub & also was easy to add each device to the app I already had installed. I love the color night vision, it was very clear when used with motion lights we already have, when used with just its own built in spotlight you could see color but not as vividly.The spotlight is very bright & can be turned off but it seemed to do best when the subject was in close range. The spotlight is motion activated also. Color night vision can be turned off also. Daytime video is very clear & has a good range. You can customize where you want it to monitor the most & video is 4K but you need WiFi. Battery life is suppose to be 6 months on one charge but time will tell on that. The speakers & microphone are good, they don’t cut in & out like they did on the older models, my camera was outside my window & I was inside talking & it actually picked up my voice.The battery compartment pops out by pushing a button on the bottom & the sync button is super small & also inside, I found that a bit tricky at first.
This is a large, heavy camera & comes with 1 magnetic mount & one adjustable bracket, that bracket was so small & short that the camera kept getting my spouting in view & produced a half white circle in each video, no matter how we adjusted it we just couldn’t fix it so we used the older sturdier bracket. I would recommend these for the night color vision alone, just get stronger hardware to attach them to.

Lightweight & good for curly hair
on November 3, 2020
Posted by: 30stmrox
from Philadelphia, PA
I am a hairstylist so the chance to try any new products is great. I found this dryer to be fairly lightweight & easy to use. It comes with three magnetic attachments that actually stay on while using them. A styling concentrator, smoothing nozzle & diffuser. The concentrator & nozzle are the same size so I had to look in the instruction manual which was which. I have naturally curly hair which can get frizzy by drying it, the diffuser worked great, dried quickly & no frizz. The smoothing nozzle didn’t do much, I didn’t notice any difference. Nozzles can be rotated. This dryer has a sensor & changes temperature automatically while drying , sometimes I found it to be quite hot & too powerful. It was easy to see in the mirror when the led was red it was drying & it changed to blue when the hair had less moisture. This was in auto mode, It was a bit confusing switching modes, it was either too powerful or too cool. Through the app you can switch modes & even dry your fur babies or your children but I didn’t have any luck at all with the app, my wifi is pretty good & it couldn’t find the dryer or connect. This worked well on curly hair & dries hair very quickly, but for the price, my pro dryers do the same for smoothing at a fraction of the cost.

The best just got better with the new Nextbase 622GW 4K Dash Cam. With an abundance of new features and world’s firsts, the 622GW is the most accurate, powerful and highest image quality Dash Cam in the market today. Ultra-clear 4K recording at 30fps captures those all-important finer details, with recording at 1440p HD at 60fps or 1080p HD at 120fps for super slow motion available. An improved sensor ensures enhanced night vision on even the darkest roads. Image quality is at the forefront of the Dash cam revolution, with Image stabilization reducing vibrations from your vehicle and improving footage clarity. Another first for Nextbase is Extreme Weather Mode, to provide a clearer image in misty conditions using special defogging algorithms, crucial for winter and night-time driving. The 622GW is the world’s first Dash Cam to include what3words. This provides your exact location to a 3m square location without the need for a data connection, crucial for emergency services to precisely locate you. Coupled with Emergency SOS and Alexa Built-In, the 622GW shows its further ahead the field with technology advancements. Increased connectivity for transferring footage to your mobile phone is key with new built-in Bluetooth 5.0 and Hyper-Sync Wi-Fi 5GHz speeds are up to 10x faster. This ensures syncing times with the MyNextbase Connect app (IoS 12.1 or later and Android 5.1 and up). The 622GW is compatible with any Nextbase Rear View Module, to offer-all around protection, whilst crucially maintaining front 4K image quality, with 1080p full HD rear recordings. The 622GW features all the much loved Nextbase features including Intelligent Parking Mode, high accuracy 10x GPS readings, a 3” HD IPS touch screen and the fully patented Click&Go PRO mount design, for the ultimate Dash Cam user experience. Note- For this product a U3 class Nextbase microSD card is required (Not included). The ability to maintain a high WRITE speed consistently is what Nextbase SD cards are designed to do better than any other SD card. Any drop/fluctuation in WRITE speed within the SD card causes the Dash Cam footage to buffer, and in some cases will stop the recording entirely. Our Nextbase SD card controller and Firmware on the SD card achieves the requirements from our Dash Cam, where other SD cards cannot. Due to the continuous recording and overwriting of the card, the SD card needs to be a high-endurance card, otherwise the card may develop faults after a period of time; if a lower-capability card is used, certain features on the camera will not fully function due to being unable to re-write and record. Nextbase has over 3 million dash cams sold, 115 unique patents, custom designed processors and improved sensors which record fast moving objects in perfect picture clarity for day and night time driving. Auto adjusts contrast and brightness to further improve the footage details in the event of an accident. Save time, money, and ease with Nextbase Dash Cams.

Expected a little more improvement
on October 22, 2020
Posted by: 30stmrox
from Philadelphia, PA
I have an older model Nextbase 422w camera & i always thought it took great video but had a few things that could’ve been improved on,
apparently those issues are still present with this camera, you can’t watch video on the camera without it being connected, not even a few minutes like on the older model. I can’t have my iPhone & iPad connected at the same time, I must delete one to watch video on the other. It needed a firmware update which took forever & I still find the micro sd card hard to push in when you have medium length fingernails.
Those were basically the same issues, now for the things I like about it.. very stable, clear, night vision was great in town & not bad on back road either, didn’t notice anything outstanding about it in fog & it’s been quite foggy lately but couldn’t really see anything clearer in the videos. Alexa paired easily with it, set up was quick, found the camera instantly, I could use the same app & the suction cup car mount was the same but the magnet is strong so to remove the camera I kept pulling the whole thing off the windshield. This camera is a bit larger & has about a 3” screen, a rear camera can be purchased separately. Comes with a 64gb sd card & adapter. It automatically set the date & sensitivity can be set which is great because it monitors the car while you’re parked. There is an SOS feature & this camera doesn’t get as hot while recording. I could play back the videos on my phone & delete them & each video comes with a Google map with a pointer that moves on the route you took as it plays. It’s a great camera with clear recordings & just a few minor issues.

Blissful slumber
on October 13, 2020
Posted by: 30stmrox
from Philadelphia, PA
I wanted the first version of these for Christmas 2 years ago & never got them so I was super excited to try these. They come in a small case that looks like a compact & the lights for charging are bright & glow. I had a little trouble at first because after a few hours of charging they still showed 16%, I pushed them further in the case & then within a few minutes read 100%. The left side is a bit hard to get in the case & they click into place. After that small issue though, I had no problem connecting them through the app, set up was easy & some sounds were already pre loaded. All sounds are controlled through the app, there are 39 total & range from campfires to waterfalls. You can put 14 sounds on till it tells you it’s full & to remove one to add another. The timer can be set from 30 minutes to 10 hours
. I used them last night & had one of my best sleeps ever. I have a hard time sleeping when it’s completely quiet, my husband snores & I also have anxiety & live on a busy road so they had a big job to do & they came through. I set them for 30 minutes to an ocean sound & I heard nothing around me , I even kept the volume low because they can be pretty loud at high volume & you want to be able to hear a smoke alarm go off. I have small ears & used the tips they came with & they fit perfectly, comfortable & stayed in this restless sleepers ears without falling out, I even slept on my side & they still stayed in place. I also thought I may lose the connection since my phone is in my kitchen but they stayed connected when I went to bed. These would be great for plane or train travel or a noisy hotel. Besides the battery connection issue everything else was great.

Slim & great sound
on September 30, 2020
Posted by: 30stmrox
from Philadelphia, PA
Set up was extremely easy, no instructions needed, optical cable was included. We have an older sound bar & this is longer a bit heavier & about half the size in height so it fits nicely in front of tv without blocking the view. Sound is very loud & sounds great with tv, movies & music. The app would not work with iPod so I tried with iPhone & it paired quickly, Bluetooth paired quickly with iPod. Remote is small & thin & easy to use. Paired easily with Alexa & i was able to access Pandora through voice control & also the app where you can pause music,it keeps saying connection lost but music is still playing , not sure what that’s about. My old speaker had a green power light to show it was on, this makes a sound when on but the light is a bit dim & harder to see. I don’t see any options to change bass/ treble either but I’m still checking it out. Very happy with it though as I always am with their products.

Looks impressive but that's about it
By 30stmrox
This router is huge, almost too big , it looks impressive with all the antennas & lights but so far I'm not impressed at all. It was very hard to setup, I had to call support & there is no DSL port on the back so I had to keep my old modem/router connected to it which defeats its purpose. There are 2 separate wifi bands to connect to which is nice but I haven't seen any improvement in the speed or connectivity than my small router. Plus it runs very hot! I'll give it a few more days before I disconnect it & go back to my small router.

Still not imoressed
June 28, 2016
I am commenting under my regular Best Buy name since I'm unable to get in under the original comment name . This is in reply to the 2 comments I received. I only had a day to try the router out when I had to post a review since then I can still say I'm not impressed , we run a lot of devices on wifi & I still notice no difference. I realize it's not a modem & as stated in my earlier review I said I had a modem & was hoping that I would no longer need it with a device of this size. I still cannot connect to the app, my router password will not work on the app but works on everything else . This was hard to set up I spent 25 min. on the phone with a tech , I can set pretty much every device up but this was impossible. This is a very expensive router with not much to offer so I still stand by my one star rating.
