---FEATURES---
The key feature of this keyboard is its customization options and access to existing gaming profiles. Customization-wise, this keyboard has it’s keys flash like a rainbow. This is optional if you find it distracting, but it looks very nice every time to press a key. The software detected games I already had install on my PC and asked if I wanted to download profiles for those games. I did so and it didn’t take long. It includes a very comfortable and oversize wrist rest, perfect for log sessions (though the wrist rest doesn’t attach to the keyboard itself, like my previous gaming keyboard). Additionally, it also has a USB 2.0 on the back, perfect for a wireless mouse receiver. I did notice it lacks a volume control on the keyboard itself.

The performance of this keyboard is great. It is very responsive and accurate when gaming. When customizing it with the downloadable software, you can edit your gaming keys and program multiple settings as well as save well over 10 profiles for different games you play.

---EXPECTATIONS---
The product meets my expectations. In the video games I tested, I didn’t notice anything that would cause me to not recommend this keyboard. However, when you press on the keys, you will notice that the keys have a clicking noise that you may not be used to. Since I game with a headset on, I don’t hear it during gameplay. However, if using this to work and type documents, you may find it noticeable. Keep this in mind when purchasing.

The price for the keyboard in terms of value is on par with its competitors. The lack of an on-keyboard volume control was a noticeable lacking feature but the oversized wrist rest compensates for that, as it is very comfortable.

Keep your head in the game with this Logitech G Pro headset. Its leatherette ear pads isolate surrounding noises to keep you focused, and its featherlight construction minimizes pressure for longer wear. This Logitech G Pro headset's microphone has a wide frequency response and low signal-to-noise ratio for improved communication with teammates and opponents.

---FEATURES---
The key feature of this headset is that it is compatible with Windows Sonic and Dolby Atmos. I tried it with Dolby Atmos on Windows PC and on the Xbox One X and can confirm it works on both. Other features are the detachable mic, a two types of ear foams, and a 2m auxiliary cable with volume and mute controls.

---PERFORMANCE---
The performance of the headset is very good. I was able to hear things in games that I couldn’t hear before. The deep bass handles well on these as does the higher pitched sounds. The microphone was able to send my voice clearly, as my friends told me that they could hear me loud and clearer than before. When using this headset with Dolby Atmos, you can really hear the surround sound. A Dolby Atmos code isn’t provided with this set, so you must purchase that separately for 15 dollars on a PC or Xbox. It isn’t necessary for it to work, but does make a significant difference.

The product meets my expectations. Though they don’t have active noise cancellation, the pre-installed ear foams do a good job of not allowing noise in while you are wearing them. If that’s not something you want, you can install the alternate ear foams which allow more noise in. The ear foams are easy to remove and install. The cable and the microphone feel like they are quality made, as does the headset itself too. It is also lightweight, so you won’t feel it weigh you down on long sessions. This is by far the headset that does the best job in covering my ears completely and now pressing down on them while wearing them. It brings comfort to a new level.

Put a vintage twist on your private listening with these retro-style JLab Rewind wireless headphones. Their Signature, Balanced and Bass Boost EQ settings provide flexible listening options, and the built-in microphone lets you carry out voice commands through Siri or Google Assistant. Enjoy nonstop music playback for up to 12 hours with these JLab Rewind wireless headphones.

---SETUP---
The setup of the JLAB Audio retro headphones was easy. Like most bluetooth headphones today, these com pre-charged about 50% out of the box. The first time you turn them on, the headphones start sending the signal for your mobile devices to find and they pair up in under a minute.

---FEATURES---
The key feature of the headphones is that they have a retro 1980s look with the convenience of bluetooth. They are light and have three presets equalizer settings: signature sound (amplified vocals and bass), balanced (no enhancements), and bass boost (amplified bass and sub-bass). All functions can be access with one button. These can activate Siri (iOS) and Ok Google (Android) with voice. Full charge in 3 hours for 12 hours of use.

---PERFORMANCE---
The performance of the headphones is admirable, especially considering the price. Though they don’t have the nicer features like noise-canceling of ambient sounds, they are loud enough to drown out most of the noise around you. These aren’t being marketed for exercise but they are great for indoor use or a light to moderate paced walk.

---EXPECTATIONS---
The product meets my expectations but simplifying all functions to one button can be a chore at times, depending on how often you plan to do certain actions with it. For example, to change between preset EQ settings you must click the only button three times and no voice confirmation will tell you what setting you are currently on. If you don’t press the third click fast enough, it will activate the 2 click function, which is to summon Siri or Ok Google. Clicking it once will pause your audio or answer/hang up a call. There will be a learning curve of what each of the clicks do but expect some user errors at first. Holding the button for 2 seconds turns the headphones on and off.

I highly recommend this product for those who grew up in the 80s and want to reminisce the good old times. Perfect for indoor use while you do mundane tasks like cleaning or working on a computer. Music and podcasts sound great with the bass being a standout for the price.

Connect your iPhone to your car stereo or home speakers for effortless sharing with this Belkin Lightning to aux cable. The single 3-foot cable connection is compatible with the iPhone 7 Plus and up, while the 3.5mm jack works with a range of speakers and car stereo setups. Featuring MFi certification, this Belkin Lightning to aux cable keeps up with iOS updates.

+Easy to set up.
+Apple Certified.
+3.5mm jack is thin enough that it won't interfere with other nearby plugs.

This cable is a good way to use your iPhone 7+ or higher on vehicles or speakers that don't have a Bluetooth option. First, we tried it on my wife's Mini Cooper, which is a model that only supports Bluetooth for dialing but not for music. We were able to hear her phone's music with this cable perfectly clear.
Next, my vehicle, which does support Bluetooth, has an annoying issue where when my wife plugs in her iPhone using USB lightning cable, my vehicles radio automatically switches to her phones audio and cuts off my phone's Bluetooth. Using this cable, my wife can now charge her phone while I use the Belkin cable to continue listening to my audio. In my vehicle, I have the following connected: A cigarette lighter USB charger with two cables that run from it, one for my dashcam and one to charge my wife's phone, and a second USB cable to charge my phone. Things can get cluttered quickly, but the 3.5mm jack of the Belkin cable is thin enough that it doesn't have trouble connecting to the auxiliary port due to thickness, like other cables might. Overall, very satisfied with this product.

---FEATURES---
The key feature of this headset is that it works with Dolby Atmos supported audio formats. Dolby Atmos is different than surround sound in that it creates spacial audio allowing you to hear audio not just at a single level but above you and below you, virtually. It costs 15 dollars to activate Dolby Atmos, but this headset comes with a prepaid code. Once used, you can use it for up to 10 devices, including your Xbox One if you redeem it using the same email address as your Xbox Store on PC.

This headset truly stands out after activating the code. On PC and Xbox One, you download an app that guides you on activating the Dolby Atmos Spatial Sound. You are then given multiple videos to watch and listen to. On PC, by right clicking on the volume icon, you can quickly turn on and off the spatial audio and truly hear the difference in detail. Netflix, as well as many Blu-Rays and 4K UHD movies, also support Dolby Atmos, and those shows/movies simply sound more immersive.

The product meets my expectations. Not all games support Dolby Atmos, but it still improves the quality of non-supported games noticeably. As of this review, the games supported for Dolby Atmos are Gears of War 4, Battlefield 1, Overwatch, Rise of The Tomb Raider, Assassins Creed Origins, Mass Effect Andromeda, Final Fantasy XV, Super Lucky's Tale, and Crackdown 3 (when it releases). I own all of these games except for 2, but I could tell the difference in all of them. I also tried this headset for non-supported games, like Dead by Daylight and PUBG. It really improves detecting the direction from which sound is coming from, which is crucial for both of these types of games. The microphone also does a good job at picking up my voice for when communicating with others. My friends could hear me clearly and I didn’t have to have the mic too close, so I could consume beverages at will.

Capture and share special moments with Google Clips. Engineered to recognize faces and expressions, this clever camera automatically takes several-second-long audio-free motion photos, leaving you free to focus on the occasion. Enhanced with Super Res mode, the Google Clips device syncs data with your phone and lets you save any frame as a high-resolution still photo.

---SETUP---
The setup of the Google Clips white camera was painless. A full charge out of the box takes under 2 hours, as well as a charge from zero percent battery. You can begin using it and setting it up while it charges with it’s included USB-C cable. It requires a download of an app called Google Clips. The app itself guides you on connecting it to the phone. It doesn’t require internet for use, as it connects wirelessly to your phone via bluetooth by creating its own local network.

---FEATURES---
The key feature of this camera are that it auto-detects family and pet members when in front of it to take motion pictures (no audio is ever captured as the device has no microphone). The battery lasts about 3 hours of continuous use and has an internal memory of 16 gigs, which is more than enough for the images it’s taking. The app is simple to understand and can transfer photos from the app to your phone’s gallery with a simple swipe (for individual photos) or you can transfer/delete all photos at once through a quick menu option. It comes with it’s own protective case with a clip to hang in places. The clip also doubles up as a stand. Also, the lens is protected by a Corning Gorilla Glass 3, a leading brand of protective glass makers. The camera will auto-correct itself if you put the camera upside down, though if you put it sideways, you will end up capturing images in portrait mode as opposed to landscape.

---PERFORMANCE---
This camera is great at taking crystal clear pictures when there is plenty of lighting. It doesn’t perform well in darkly lit rooms, though. Though you can see a live feed of what the camera is looking at and take a manual picture from a button on the camera itself or wirelessly from within the app, though the purpose of the camera is for users to rely on an algorithm that detects when people are smiling, celebrating, or moving. This also applies for pets like dogs and cats. That algorithm, though, is unreliable. I tried taking a picture of my family as we posed in front of the camera and stood there smiling for several seconds. The camera captured the moment I was approaching my family and the moment our family walked away from the camera, but not the actual moment where we stood there smiling for 7 seconds hoping to get a good image of us. To the app and camera’s credit, though, whenever it does capture good pictures, editing is a breeze from within the app itself. If you save a full motion picture to your iPhone (the device I tested it with), it saves as an iPhone LIVE photo, the kind you can hold your finger against the screen and it moves temporarily. That is neat.

The product does not meet my expectations. Though it has a lot of potential, it’s unreliability render it useless as a candid photographer. Instead, it serves more of a neat parlor trick to show of your friends random pictures that the device decides to capture. Most of the time, you’ll probably end up capturing the back of heads, because few people actually stare at walls or edges of rooms. A feature I thought would be great was the ability to share the camera view with someone else. However, I discovered that after sharing the camera with someone, the current viewer of the camera loses connection. This means that two people can’t be watching the live feed nor have access to see the pictures it’s taken at the same time. What’s worse, if that person you share access to the camera decides to delete a picture or save it to their phone, you will not be able to see that picture unless you ask for a copy of it to be sent to you. Be careful who you give permission to access your camera.

This product is hard to recommend, but I can see people who want to use it to capture unique angles of their children or pets could come to appreciate what it does. It wouldn’t do a good job of monitoring constantly, though, as its short battery life (3 hours) isn’t suitable for a turn-on-and-forget mode. Since it does work while being plugged in, that could be an alternative route to take, but it then defeats the purpose of being inconspicuous and would limit your locations.

---SETUP---
The setup of this inkless, wireless photo printer is quick. It takes about one hour to charge out of the box, but can be used while it’s charging. After turning it on once, it sends a bluetooth signal that your mobile device will recognize, much like pairing a new set of bluetooth headphones. Select the printer and your phone is now paired to it. You are required to download the Canon Mini Print App to interact with the printer. I had a little bit of trouble opening the lid to insert the paper but the app itself does a better explanation as to how to open it and get that paper installed.

---PERFORMANCE---
The printer works as intended. In about 40 seconds, you can print a picture that you have already taken prior to the purchase of this printer or one that you take from within the Canon Mini Print App itself. Taking pictures from within the app guarantees that the image will fit perfectly on the paper. Using my own pictures, I discovered that the image will be too large and be cropped out to fill the white space of the paper. You can add borders that can be downloaded to fix that for free within the app, as well as other neat digital stickers. The app allows you to add text and even has masks, akin to SnapChat. All of these optional features aren’t pre-downloaded with your app. This is good for people who may not have too much memory on their phone and instead only download the stickers they plan to use at the time.
The printer works as intended. In about 40 seconds, you can print a picture that you have already taken prior to the purchase of this printer or one that you take from within the Canon Mini Print App itself. Taking pictures from within the app guarantees that the image will fit perfectly on the paper. Using my own pictures, I discovered that the image will be too large and be cropped out to fill the white space of the paper.

---EXPECTATIONS---
The printer mildly meets my expectations. The prints that come out look faded compared to how you see them on your mobile device. Though you can color correct within the app before printing, the color doesn’t quite come out the way you want it to, but it’s still satisfactory enough for a fun little gift. Additionally, the back of the photos can be removed and the photos then become stickers. If you don’t want to use it as a sticker, the photos make great wallet pictures, as they are 2 by 3 inches. The printer did loose connection to my phone multiple times, but it found it after waiting a few seconds.

The price for the printer in terms of value is good only if you plan on using it often. You have to add the price of buying this specialty paper, as it is currently 9.99 for a 20 sheet pack or 24.99 for a 50 sheet pack. There’s no benefit to buying larger quantities as the pricing is comparatively the same quantity vs. price. Buying the printer does come with a 10 sheet pack. Doing the math at current prices, it’s a little over .55 cents per printed sheet, factoring in taxes.

I highly recommend this product for people who enjoy scrapbooking, decorating their technology with stickers, or have lockers or other flat surfaces of their choice to decorate. This wouldn’t be a good printer for everyday use for most users. It feels more like a novelty item than a useful tool, but I can see people setting up photo booths using these printers. Add some props, customize your images within the app, print, and have fun!

Noise Canceling Wireless Freedom
on May 26, 2018
Posted by: Trobadour
from Hidalgo, TX
---SETUP---
The setup of the noise canceling earbuds by Sony was easy. The Sony Headphones app is required, but it has improved to guide users on how to connect their products. After pairing the headphones, you can tinker with the audio mixers immediately and even use them for an hour and a half, as it comes with half the battery charged out of the box.

---FEATURES---
The key feature of these earbuds are that they are truly wireless, have no cables, and have extra bass. To get the extra bass, you need to open the Sony Headphones app and set your headset to BASS. Not having cables makes your workouts more enjoyable, as you aren’t worried about getting the cable hooked against something. These earbuds also come with a case that serves as a battery pack. Storing them there charges them for the next use.

---PERFORMANCE---
The performance of the BASS is very good. I tried it out with Mexican rock, electro-house, techno, and an itunes workout music playlist. The BASS option from the app really takes you for a great ride while working out. I also tested the SPEECH and VOCAL options for my podcasts and the difference feels like wearing a different pair of earbuds with each setting. The battery only lasts for 3 hours per use, but if you store them in the case, you can extend the use for up to 9 hours. The noise canceling features work well enough inside of a building, like a gym, but doesn’t completely drown out louder noises. Using them outside, the noise canceling feature works as well, but you will still hear vehicles. Regardless, it still does keep you more focused on your workouts with it on.

Tap on NFC-compatible Bluetooth devices to connect and go with these Sony wireless headphones. Their noise-cancelling technology keeps you focused on your music, while their Ambient Sound Mode mixes in voices and other external sounds you need to hear. Sweat and splashes are not a problem for these water-resistant IPX4-rated Sony wireless headphones.

Noise Canceling On The Go
on May 26, 2018
Posted by: Trobadour
from Hidalgo, TX
---SETUP---
The setup for the SP600N headset was simple but does require that you download the free SONY headphones app from your Android or Apple Store. Following the instructions within the app, I was able to pair up my headset immediately. This pair of headphones doesn’t come with a fully charged battery, so you will have to charge them out of the box prior to an extended period of use.

---FEATURES---
The key feature of this headset (as it’s called on the box) is that it has a noise cancellation mode and an ambient sound mode. The former allows you to reduce most external noise to a certain degree but it doesn’t drown it out completely. The latter allows you to mix in external sounds you may need to hear, like people speaking to you and traffic. The headset also touts 6 hours of use on one charge. One feature it lacks compared to other similar products is that there is no clip that can hold onto your shirt from the back neckline. This would have prevented it from falling off without your knowledge when not in use. They did fall off once when I was driving back home and I didn’t realize it until I had gotten off and was looking for them.

---PERFORMANCE---
The performance of the noise cancellation is great but if you have tried noise cancellation headphones that fully cover your ear, then it’s not to the same degree. What noise cancellation does with this set is it drastically reduces all sounds around you, but you will still hear them in the background if loud enough. At the gym, this is perfect. At a park with traffic, it works moderately ok. The ambient mode purposefully picks up the noise and mixes it in with your audio. I was able to have a conversation with my wife while listening to music exercising around the park. This headset has an IPX4 rating (a scale that goes from IPX 0-8). This means that is is resistant to splashes of water or sweat for at least 5 minutes. Great for exercising but make sure to wipe them when finished. They are not waterproof, so keep that in mind.

The product meets my expectations. If you mess around with the app, you can find a sound that works for you. For example, I listen to mostly podcasts, so there are two settings to take advantage for me, SPEECH or VOCAL. I do listen to Mexican Rock as well as Electro-House, both of which make good use of bass. When you set it to BASS mode within the app, you can hear the extra bass that the box proudly displays. However, for that to work, you need to use the app, as you can’t make that change with just the headset itself.

I highly recommend this product for people who will exercise in both the gym or in the outdoors. The headset is best put to use if you have it in one place consistently, but I don’t recommend you going about your entire day with them around your neck at the risk of them falling off without you noticing. The left side that houses the controls tends to slide down because of the weight.

Workout Headphones that Stay Put
on April 25, 2018
Posted by: Trobadour
from Hidalgo, TX
---SETUP---
The setup for the JBL headphones was quick and simple. Upon turning it on, my iPhone recognized them as “UA JBL Flex” and I was up and running in no time.
The setup for the JBL headphones was quick and simple. Upon turning it on, my iPhone recognized them as “UA JBL Flex” and I was up and running in no time.
---FEATURES---
The key feature of these headphones is that they have a safety blinking LED light for outdoor running. Upon pressing the microphone button (all buttons are multi-functional), you activate 1 of 3 light modes. Each mode will cause a thin layer of white light to blink at different intervals to be noticeable by traffic/other runners while running outside in the dark. I let my wife borrow the headphones and told her to run ahead of me. I could easily see the blinking light from approximately 25 yards away. Another key feature is the flexible arms. These arms only move left or right and are meant to secure the headphones to your neck. They do they job, as not once did I feel that I might lose them while exercising. This feature is good for people with smaller neck girth, as the headphones won’t feel loose and move around during fast movement. My own neck is thick, but I was still able to wear them comfortably.

Audio-wise, I was able to hear music while exercising at a comfortable volume without distortion. These aren’t noise canceling headphones. Therefore, you will still hear background noise if it is loud enough, like a car honking or someone yelling directly at you, but the noise is muffled enough to still enjoy your audio.

---EXPECTATIONS---
The product meets my expectations. From sound to comfort level, everything feels just right except for one thing. First, the positives. The headphones are so light, I often forgot that I was wearing them throughout the day. The audio is good for the price and the safety LED light makes me feel safer when wearing them. The one thing I disliked was the way the buttons feel when pressing them. The pressing of the buttons requires more pressure than I am used to for these type of headphones. When I got a phone call, I had to press the button multiple times because I wasn’t pressing deep enough. Changing the volume requires you to press the button multiple times (as holding it moves the track forward or backward). Sometimes, my presses wouldn’t be recognized, so I had to press slightly harder. However, this is just a minor grievance in an otherwise excellent headphones set. If this concerns you, I suggest you ask to try pressing the buttons prior to purchasing, and move on from there.

The price for the JBL Under Armour Sports Headphones in terms of value is affordable and competitive for similar headphones in its class. Additionally, the headset comes with a code for a 1 year subscription to MapMyRun, an Android/iOS app that helps track your exercises, which is a 30 dollar value in and of itself.

I highly recommend this product for workout buffs or those who want a listening experience while performing fast motions. The flex arms will more than secure themselves to you or can help with adjusting the comfort level on your neck. Even when bench pressing, these won’t fall off like other headphones because of the flex arms.

Destiny is the only console game that has held its replay-ability over the last two year AND STILL going strong. Destiny is the flagship games for consoles. It is by far, a MUST HAVE for ANY console player. I'm fixing to buy this as a gift and a few more for starting friends. The game is honestly the best game to come home to every night.
There is so much to do in Destiny, it'll seem overwhelming at first. The economy is booming, so many quests, loot, strikes, raids, bosses, prisons, etc. Bungie is an amazing developing company that is community focused and dedicated to amaze the players. The YouTube and Twitch community is outstanding and never ceases to amaze me. Recently, the Destiny community raised over $500k to St. Judes hospital. The game is thriving like never before. Make memories, make friends, have fun.

Keep your iPhone XS/X functional with this Speck Presidio Pro case. The exterior is made from polycarbonate to withstand the effects of wear and tear, and its antimicrobial treatment prevents bacteria from growing on it. The raised bezel on this Speck Presidio Pro case protects your phone's screen if it lands facedown.
Do popsockets stick to this case?
This case has a flat, smooth surface. It depends on the glue that the comes with the pop socket. If your concern was a flat, smooth surface, it won't be an issue.

The PRO headset from Logitech G is designed with and for esports pros. Aluminum forks, steel headband, and memory foam and premium leatherette head and ear pads keep you comfortable through marathon training and competition sessions.

The advanced USB DAC has a five-band onboard EQ that can be programmed via G HUB software with settings from your favorite esports pros. Pro-tuned, detachable boom mic with wind screen and pop filter ensures your comms are crystal clear. Designed for PC.
Does this work for Xbox? The older version did
They do work with Xbox because of the included auxiliary cable. However, you won't be able to take advantage of the customization EQ options from a PC. That being said, if you have an Xbox and Dolby Atmos, then you are in for quite an experience.

Polished, professional Full HD video calls. The C920S HD Webcam delivers remarkably crisp, clear and detailed images in vibrant colors. HD autofocus and light correction adjust to provide consistently high definition, and the dual mics on either side of the lens capture natural sound. The privacy shutter puts you in control of what you show.
I need a web cam for a presentation for a a showing on Facebook. The web cam will be on a screen from a projector going to Facebook live. Would this be the web cam to get or should I get a different one?
If your camera will be aiming at a screen projector, then make sure that the room is dark and that the lighting in your room doesn't change much change much. Use the software to turn off the automatic focus features and as long as people don't walk in front of the camera, it should be fine. Though this is possible, it is not the ideal way to show something on facebook that requires people to look at what's being projected. Might I suggest you look into OBS, a free streaming software. With OBS, you should have the ability to stream to FACEBOOK and switch back and forth between the WebCam feed and the presentation, meaning that the people watching on Facebook will see the clearest presentation because it's as if they were there in the same room with you. Depending on how much time you have to learn OBS, you may have to use the Webcam the way you want for now, but try OBS for a future presentation. You will love it.

Can I use an external microphone with this camera? If so can you tell me how?
I use it with OBS and in that software, you can use the camera but change to a different microphone. All you have to do is mute the camera's microphone (it the camera settings in OBS, you'll have that option) and plug the microphone you want to use and make sure it isn't muted.
