Great wireless headphones for PS4
on August 29, 2018
Posted by: Todd
from Herky, MO
My son uses these to play on the PS4 (Fortnite). They connected to the PS4 seamlessly, he says the audio is very good and the mic works great as well.
The included storage bag with usb charging cable is very nice. Hopefully these hold up good to a 9 yr old, time will tell.

Great streaming solution for my patio.
on August 8, 2018
Posted by: Todd
from Herky, MO
Love this setup. Makes streaming music a breeze to my outdoor patio. Hardest part was running the speaker wires, from the Sonos unit to the outdoor speakers. Other than that it was a piece of cake.
Everything works flawlessly using the App on my Note 5 smartphone. I decided not to use the keypad, as I controll the system from my smartphone. So no use for the included keypad.

Nice off air hdtv antenna
on July 10, 2018
Posted by: Todd
from Herky, MO
I installed this antenna behind my hdtv. I'm roughly 50 miles from my local broadcast affiliates.
I do not wish to mount this in my attic or on the outside of my home, so with that said... I rate this 3 out of 5 stars. I was able to pull in 3 of my local off air channels.
Not as good as I was hoping for but being unable to install this in my attic for best reception IMO. Is to be expected, as sitting behind my tv isn't the most ideal location for install.

Great wireless phone charger
on June 15, 2018

from Herky, MO
This new Belkin QI Charging pad works nicely. Even better than my Samsung one, that came with my Note5.
Anywhere I set my phone on the pad itll charge. Vs. On my Samsung charge pad, if it wasnt set at the perfect spot my Note5 would charge for say 5 minutes then stop suddenly.
This Belkin will Fast Charge my Note5 in about a hour, vs 4 hoirs with my Samsung wireless QI charging pad.

Great headphones for gaming, very comfortable.

from Herky, MO
These are some of the nicest, most comfortable gaming headphones Ive used! Love how the mic is detachable, sound is great including Dolby Atmos via Win 1p pc.
The ear cups are detachable for better fitament. Theres no discomfort whatsoever with these Platronics gaming headphones. Only way these would be completely over the top, is if they had some rgb element to them.

Nice robot vacuum by Samsung, only minor flaws.
on May 26, 2018
Posted by: Todd
from Herky, MO
I recieved this robot vacuum in exchange for my honest review.
This vacuum works well on both hard surcaes as well as carpeted. Easily navigates around any obstacles such as chairs doors, and or stairs. It has a remkvable canister for empting its content as well as a washable filter.
The vac includes controll via touch buttons on the device itself or via samsung connect app, or via the included remote. The vacuum will cleam my entire 1350 sq ft home with little to battery life left. Charging takes around 4 hours.
Complaints. Wish the battery life was longer, as well as the power brick cord being about 4 ft longer, making it easier to hide the power brick. I would also like to see it offered in a color other than mainly black, silver or white would be nice.
The lack of better built in wifi is a surprise, since many devices are AC WiFi compatible.
The lack of better built in wifi is a surprise, since many devices are AC WiFi compatible.
All in all its a nice vac for all surfaces, just has some minor flaws that samsung could easily fix, if they so wish to do so. I would definitely reccomend this vac to someone lokking for a nice robot vacuum.
I removed a star for the lack of better built in wifi, short power cord with large power brick, and lack of color choices. Battery life could be a bit better as well.

Great gaming pc.
on April 28, 2018
Posted by: Todd
from Herky, MO
I recieved this gaming laptop jn return for my honest reciew. Also, Ive been to get my hands on a good gaming laptop for awhile now.
This 15.6 Asus Rog doesnt dissapoint! The built in 1060 gpu handles games perfectly. I play mostly racing/sports games, Forza, NBA 2018. The i7 also handles anything you throw at it with ease. My only complaints are the battery life and cooler noise. But a gaming pc with a gtx 1060 and i7 uses alot of battery as well as creating alot of heat. Both are to be expected and not a con.
The built in ac wifi is blazing fast whether playing online games, or simply surfing the net. I love the rgb keyboard, wish it were mechanical, but being its a entry level I guess it cant have it all. I also like the red lit rog logo on the cover. Theres a thin 8 inch bar at the top of the cover, that looks like itd light up but doesnt, would be a cool touch.
The 1080p led screen looks crystal clear, not 4k but its very clear. Youtube videos look great. I would of liked to see a gigabit ethernet port, but not a big deal. The included 16 gb of memory along with a Kingston 128 m.2 ssd, and a qtb barracuda sshd is a very nice addition. The 128gb m.2 is plenty big enough for win 10, paired with the seagate 1tb sshd for data and games. I do notice the sshd noise when vloume is down loading games and applications.
For the money I would definitely say this rog gaming laptop is a beast of a buy. Would of liked to see the added raised underneath cooling option on this model as well. But its only on it two bigger brothers.
All in all. This is a well thought out and put together gaming machine for those not want to spend $2k or more on a high end gaming laptop. Also the Auro Sync, for Asus compatible mice and headsets is a nice feature.
Boot and load times are very fast on both the m.2 and sshd drives. I about jumped the 1st time I turned this machine on and the Rog logo appeared on the screen with a booming sound intro as well. The speakers are pretty nice for a thin laptop, especially bass.
I can definitely see myself enjoying this nes laptop for years to come.

Great 2.4ghz wireless rgb mouse

Posted by: Todd

So far Im in love with this mouse. Love the wireless charging capability, as well as the multiple rgb options. The mouse is lightweight and comfortable to use for normal stuff as well as gaming.
This mouse seems to have great accuracy. I like the interchangable grips, as well as the many useful buttons for gaming. Battery life is really good as well. Works well with the Corsair Link software.

Great wireless charging mousepad...

This mousepad is big, about 3x larger than a standard pad. Charges my dark core se rgb mouse nicely as well as my Note 5 smartphone.
I really wish thks had rgb accents around the edges like most newer mouse pads do. This takes up 2 x 3.0 usb ports on your p.c.

Simply awesome wireless earbuds
on April 5, 2018
Posted by: Todd
from Herky, MO
Ive Never been a fan at all of earbuds. Either they dont stay in well, or fit is uncomfortable.
Not at all the case with thse Jlabs, fit is great, comfort is just as nice, and there are many assorted sizes inserts included. Also included is a small accesory case, and charging cable.
The sound with these is really nice for any earbud Ive tried. They are clear with a good amount of bass. Battery life is great, I got 3 days of use before charging them.
I really like how well they fit in the ear, and that theres a shapable cable that runs behind the ear to better keep these in place. Theres volume up & down buttons, as well as pause/answer call.
While the price imo, is slightly steep. These have everything a quaility set of earbuds need. I definitely recommemd these to anyone who works out, and or likes wireless earbuds.

Overall4 out of 5
4 out of 5Good Budget gaming PC
By Paul
Bestbuy really doesn't give much info on the exact internals so here they are. The motherboard is a gigabyte z170-hd3p, the ram is Adata brand 2133mhz 2x4gb, cpu i5 6600k, stock Intel cpu cooler, toshiba 2tb hdd, lg dvd drive, gpu is the amd r7 250, and it's all powered by a generic 400w power supply. Overall a good budget pc that will run games on low to medium settings. If want high to ultra settings I suggest upgrading the power supply to atleast 500w and the r7 250 to a nvidia gtx 970. Since the motherboard is a z board you have the ability to overclock the cpu. (Very easy within the BIOS).

This is a free sample product received from Linksys Family and Friends program and is really awesome looking, it performs well and gives good signal coverage throughout my three room apartment.
I was dissapointed to find it has no WPS button anywhere, and it dosen't recognize my wireless printer, it's probably something simple and I haven't contacted tech yet, I'm sure it will work fine when I can do that, You can't go wrong with Linksys.
You will be impessed by it's looks and the coverage you get from it, If you invest in one I'm sure you won' be disappointed

By BoomBox
this is honestly one of the best headphones I have ever purchased in my life, and definitely a step up in Razers game of audio-phile grade headphones. they are very comfortable and sound amazing with a very balanced frequency signature. I'm so glad they upgraded to 50mm speakers over last gens 40mm. if you want a reasonably priced music headphone, look no further. I would recommend the 7.1 chroma variant for gaming though, plus those come with stickers, these, sadly, do not.
