The Steelcase Series 1 chair has a LiveBack flexor system in the backrest which conforms to your body and moves with you to support the spine as you change postures. The tilt mechanism is synchronized; the seat and back work in harmony with each other, keeping the body securely supported in the chair and feet firmly planted on the floor so you can recline without leaving your optimal zone for seeing and reaching your work. Feature set includes an adjustable seat depth, fully adjustable arms, adjustable lumbar, pneumatic seat height adjustment, recline tension adjustment (weight activated with adjustment and lock), flexing back with mesh upholstery, upholstered seat and wheels for hard flooring. The seat features strong yet pliable foam which conforms to the body and creates pressure-free comfort. Flexible seat edge offers a bit of bend, right where you need it – relieving pressure points under your thighs. This chair will arrive unassembled and require some assembly and is covered by a 12-year warranty.

So comfortable!
on May 31, 2022
Posted by: CrysisComplex
Steelcase Series 1 Chair is a darn good chair. And when I mean that. I really mean it. This was one of the fastest setups I’ve played with and I was back to my PC in no time.
Set up with one of the easiest things I’ve ever encountered when putting a chair together it was literally three pieces to put together and I put it together within 5 to 10 minutes. I swear I never had it is easy putting together a chair at all that alone to me is worth five out of five stars. But it’s not that Steelcase made it easy to assemble they also made it oh so comfortable!
I want to get it out the way that this chair has some of the best back support I’ve used in a chair in a while. It just arches to your back perfectly when you’re sitting at a desk. The comfy back allows you to lean on at three different levels; the last level allows you to lean the chair further back. There is no headrest which will probably be my only gripe but it’s unnecessary as the chair just support you in setting up without pain. This is not a gaming chair by any means but it’s definitely a chair I can set in for hours enjoying. A feature-rich chair without all the gaming aesthetic to it can be useful to people. It doesn’t take up much footprint in the office giving me a bit more room to move the chair in.
You can adjust the armrest on both sides up-and-down and the armrest can also swivel from side to side. SteelSeries chair glides around the room with ease moving it around isn’t a burden either. I get the feeling that this chair also automatically adjusts your weight somehow as you can feel the springs Adjust back up when you sit down on it. The design is very nice and definitely not ugly but it doesn’t leave an impression either. I’ve gotten the white color though I will probably go with black next time to fit the overall office. The chair looks good in any office setup you got going.
Most of the buttons and knobs on the chair are self-explanatory so I don’t need to go into detail there. I just like the chair, something I’m very worried about when buying. But SteelSeries made a good chair! Honestly, I just want to see more chairs from them in different categories. Definitely recommend it to the family as they would enjoy the support this chair has.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Gradient of beautiful colors
on May 31, 2022
Posted by: CrysisComplex
Govee Hexa Wall Light Panels were easy to install and place up on the wall for an intricate design pattern. The hexagons look beautiful placed on the wall and when the lights turn on it gives it a nice RGB pop for whatever room in the house. Long story short; the wall panels are gorgeous and wish I had more to place on the wall. These are bold modular color panels that can showcase whatever room it’s in with RGB. The colors are bright enough once they are all seven combined.
Setting up the wall light depends on you as it could take a long time if you don’t know what pattern or design you would like. They give you fake paper panels to place on the wall so you can get down the design before you stick them up. Connecting hexa lights was easy and as easy as the other competition; you pretty much connect the panels. I do have other Govee products that can connect to these lights via the “home” app and they work flawlessly in tandem. Once connected with Wifi I was able to use all of the features provided. The lights have voice assistance with Hey Google and Amazon’s Alexa.
There are millions upon millions of colors that your disposal to customize and get right for your setup. For example, if I wanted to Play Cyberpunk 2077 and wanted the theme of the room to fit, I can switch to the app profile for the color change I created. Instantly changing colors on the fly on the app. Everything is in the app to control the Govee hexa lights. From color-shifting, fading, speed of lights, dim lights, and Music Sync, to tons of customization. There is also colors and images based on shared by Govee. Getting the right mood is all on you. The lights also can do the “Rainbow Chase” effect so many other RGB lights struggle to produce. The App is the powerhouse of these lights and it works smoothly.
I have no issues with this product, the problem comes with you essentially taking the time and placing them on the wall. The lights for a gaming setup would be beautiful to look at every time you walk into a room but definitely need more Hexa lights to pop the room. 7 panels are good but not enough IMO to get the whole room going. It’s a sight to behold and Govee makes fantastic light products. One of the better brands that can put your RGB dreams together. I love this product and would recommend it to anyone who enjoys these lights.

Great battery life
on May 25, 2022
Posted by: CrysisComplex
Adidas - Z.N.E. 01 ANC headphones are good for what they are, The ANC is great at this price point and they also allow you to listen to your surroundings. The sound is clear once they are correctly in the ear but my gripe again is the lack of bass that some of these earbuds have. long story short they are good for your long day out.
They come in a nice-looking Adidas case that has a texture to them; The logo is the Bluetooth pairing button so if you just want to pair without an app that is the way quickly. at the bottom of the case is a USB-C charging port. There is an indicator light on the front of the case to let you know its charging level of it. The headphones char extremely fast and about 30 mins to full charge out of the box. Opening up the pod case they automatically connect to my iPhone once set up with BT.
The earbuds' design while cool looking I'm not a fan of as they don't hold in my ear too well out of the box. Black and stripped lines go hand and hand with Adidas' logo but they just don't feel well with the default ear tips. 4 come in the box for resizing which I did to fit my ear better. I'm also not too much of a fan of the "Touch" controls of the tips but the app allows you to turn them off if you find it annoying. Sometimes my figures would interfere with the music on the buds so I just turned them off. Speaking of the "Adidas" headphone app; There are a good amount of features that allow you to turn ANC on or off and awareness mode. You can also set some equalizers.
The sound is good I would say given the brand, there is a thing much I can be disappointed here with. as I stated before once properly in the ear they sound fantastic giving a full and rich sound. Watching media was nice with these headphones as well. Bass is ok for what it is but doesn't expect too much from these. They are sports earbuds as they don't fall out while walking as long as I'm not going too extreme with head movements. Battery life held up for days as I went a full week without a charge.
Overall; I like these earbuds and Z.N.E. 01 is great for a day out. Around the city or the park, they are handy to have around. Especially when it came to battery life. The sound is fine, the setup is easy, they charge pretty fast, and the app is really good.

When it comes to gaming performance, the slightest disadvantage can be the difference between winning and losing a match. With a 165Hz refresh rate, lightning fast 1ms (GTG) response time and full adaptive G-Sync compatability and FreeSync Premium support, you can be sure that the Odyssey G50A won’t let you down on the battlefield.

Gaming on the G5 Odyssey is a fun time.
on May 16, 2022
Posted by: CrysisComplex
Samsung Odyssey G5 is a monitor that I like owning and using especially for gaming sessions. There are tons of things here to love but HDR is overall lacking. Peak brightness got up to about 400 nits. That may put some people off but the display is extremely beautiful to look at. This is an excellent mix offering of the display, price, and features.
The monitor itself is your typical 27-inch affair monitor; 2560 X 1440p @165hz with Samsung's new design choice for most of these G-branded monitors. Which to keep seems to be pretty durable all around and nicely crafted. Plastic but sturdy and the stand is V-shaped but does give plenty of space for the keyboard and doesn’t take up too much space on the desk. There is a ring on the back akin to the G9 but without RGB. The design is sleek, especially from a gamer aesthetic. Just nice a nice black color all around. The G50A is a flat-screen (not curved) like some models and is perfect for viewing content with no issues. G50A can also rotate into portrait mode clockwise only.
Paired up with an RTX 3060 was playing games in no time. As usual, the G-Sync / Freesync was wonderful on here with gaming and a must-have for PC monitors. Frames sync with the monitor refresh rate and it’s something your eyes have to see if you are used to 60hz. I used HDMI at first and wasn’t getting the full feature set of the G5 (Max Refresh Rate Over HDMI is 144 Hz) but once I used the DisplayPort everything was smooth as butter. A DisplayPort is definitely recommended for this monitor and Samsung includes one in the box.
The colors on the display itself look gorgeous and as usual, Samsung makes pretty displays. The viewing angle isn’t too bad, when standing above the display it tends to get a tad bit darker but nothing detrimental to the eyes. Out of the box, the display and colors may not do it for you but once you calibrate them to your liking it holds up respect with content. One thing I am slightly disappointed with and that’s HDR brightness. It’s low and some games (like Doom Eternal) don’t support HDR from this monitor. If you’re looking to get into HDR and looking for a cheaper way this G5 isn’t it. Outside of that everything else is beautiful on the display and I do like the colors. Gaming is its strong point with the content being 2nd.
There are a ton of settings for Samsung‘s G odyssey monitors. Controls/buttons underneath the screen to navigate where you want and even save “Profiles” to switch color profiles on the fly. One of the highlights is a model in the options monitor that supports UltraWide view. This will put the G5 in a 21:9 but it will cut off a lot of real estate to reach that widescreen view; Cool but not a mode I would use. Fame counter which lets you keep tabs on how many frames in gameplay. Visual crosshair is a nice touch always having a center the screen for shooters.
As for ports, there is an HDMI, DisplayPort, and 3.5mm audio out. No extra USB’s on this display. No sound or speakers.
Overall: I really think it’s a good monitor for gaming, especially at this price point. You get so many features from Samsung that it’s worth it. Gaming and content are beautiful on the display. Some things are lacking like HDR and completely disappointed they miss the mark on that. I guess if anything I would like the 32-inch version of this and looking into that one as well. Also good if you just want to play your console on the screen as well (Especially the Xbox Series X support of 1440p.) so yes I would just recommend to any gamers/friends looking for a good monitor.

Summer’s great, but not if you’re stuck indoors without an air conditioner. Beat the heat this season with the Insignia NS-AC8WU3 350 Sq. Ft. 8,000 BTU U-Shaped Window Air Conditioner. A powerful BTU rating of 8,000 provides cool air for a room up to 350 sq. ft. Designed for vertical sliding windows, this air conditioner features an oscillating fan with 3 different speeds and both up/down and left/right adjustment options. A U-shaped construction reduces the amount of cool air that can escape while letting you keep your window closed or open. This air conditioner runs as low as 42 dBA – up to 9x quieter than most traditional units, while simultaneously using an inverter system and Energy Star certification to save you both money and energy. A handy air filter indicator and an auto restart mode both grant you the peace of mind in knowing this air conditioner has you covered no matter what. Finally, an included remote control lets you operate the unit from up to 26.2 ft. away. All this and more make this Insignia air conditioner an ideal way to stay cool and comfortable indoors.

Such a great unit from Insignia. Home stay cool.
on May 12, 2022
Posted by: CrysisComplex
The A/C unit was easy to set up and use once out of the box. The window was already designed for A/C units so it didn’t take me that long. It is designed well with all the face buttons you need on the front of the unit. If you looking for the short version: it’s a great A/C from this brand.
I didn’t have any issues setting it up with a second person to help me out. Fit perfectly to my liking in the window. It’s 80+ degrees when I say in the summertime and gets consistently hotter. This A/C was placed in the living room where it took about 30 mins to get cold on the highest settings. No smart features, no voice activation, no app for your phone, and no logins. Just a remote to control the temp/fan and buttons; Which is just fine with me. You can also lift and close the lid. The display is embedded within which is nice and bright displaying the temperature.
The air conditioner isn’t that loud in my house but on low, it is silent enough to be enjoyable. Buttons on the front: LED (turn off the display.), Timer, Eco Mode, and Different Modes such as turning on the fan. Buttons to turn up or down the temperature, Fan button to set the fan to High or Low, Sleep mode, Swing, and Power button. If you are looking for a cheap powerful A/C this one is it. Most of these buttons are on the remote. The remote doesn’t feel great but that’s a small gripe.
Overall I happen to like this unit. It’s just really a great Air conditioner to have. Gets the house cool and it’s pretty quiet when at reasonable temperatures.

Pure elegance in a smartwatch.
on May 10, 2022
Posted by: CrysisComplex
The first thing must be said; Withings Scanwatch Horizon is just pure elegance on the wrist. it's simply downright beautiful but also is clinically validated which attaches itself to the host of smart health features! Horizon Scanwatch construction around it doesn't feel like a cheap watch at all; This thing is well built and most likely will keep up with your lifestyle. The brushed silver aluminum just looks phenomenally gorgeous. Silver trim wrapped around the dial with a sapphire glass covering. There is a rotatable bezel that you can only turn left. A smartwatch that looks this good, you don’t see to often and I wanted to highlight that in the most positive way possible.
They give you two bands inside 1) a metal brushed band and 2) a Sports band that matches the color of your watch. Both of comfortable and well appreciated as you can switch accordingly to your atmosphere. There are also tools that you can use inside the box that can adjust the metal band. Setting up the watch was extremely easy once you download the app because it walks you through the process.
Once on the small screen is nice and bright allowing you to see time and get through menus. You navigate the menu by using the crown on the watch. Here you can do things like track your BPM, steps, miles you walked, floors you traveled, SPO2, ECG, workout tracking, settings, and breathing. There are many here and to test ECG you place your other hand over the watch face to measure.
ECG can measure your heart rate and keeps track of it daily, weekly, and monthly. So this to me alone is a useful smart feature. Even lets me know if things are normal with the sinus rhythm. Battery life is perfect as I haven’t even charged up the device since I owned it and it’s been about a week. So I have no problems at all with battery life on the watch. I also like that the scanwatch horizon can show you notifications on certain apps if you use an iPhone.
The notification isn’t jarring on the wrist giving “buzz buzz” so you’ll know if a notification comes in instantly. Get mail and messages regularly and didn’t find it annoying; feeling comparable to an Apple Watch notification feel. The watch is water-resistant to the point where I have no concerns if I’m washing my hands or anything like that. I wouldn’t go deep diving with the watch it’s good up to 100m.
The app is the meat of the watch because here is where you can gather information on your Health with the watch. Many of its smart features Reside here. Like for example the workout and keep track of the routes that you do around the neighborhood. You can really keep track of your heart rate day and night. If you don’t have your phone with you and you use the watch it holds all the data until you get near your smartphone again. Withings Health Mate is really a good app as well with no hiccups or problems on my end.
I love this smartwatch honestly; definitely, a head-turner but also stays classic to the look of watches. if you’re out and enjoying a day with friends they will love it. They enjoyed the look of this watch and the features it’s designed to use. Right out the box, it’s a great experience many products don’t do right. I do have to hand it to Withings for making an incredible smartwatch.

Great coice for gaming headphones. Really solid.
on May 6, 2022
Posted by: CrysisComplex
Astro Gaming A10 headphones are a pair of solid for PC/XSX/PS5/XB/PS4. Every feature is useful to gaming letting you get right into it without a problem; Plugging them into the control of a PS4 was as simple as that. If you are not a fan of wireless headphones these A10's are perfect for corded. The aux cord that comes with the device is extremely long giving much lengthy space only headphones work well and the design is good. The box gives clear instructions on how to use the A10's on the desired platform.
The headphones are lightweight and feel durable meaning they really creak or crack within the molding. They have adjustable earcups to fit on bigger heads so that is not an issue. Astro A10's are light on the head and even tossing them from side to side is effortless but the point is they shouldn't feel too heavy hours into gaming sessions. The design is nice and doesn't get in the way with its black and neon yellow cording it looks really good. on the Aux cord that comes with it is a volume rocker so you can instantly turn down the vol. They do sit kinda big on top of the head so they stand out in that regard. The mic grabs voice from myself to my teammates clear so that works out well.
A10's sound was great from the receiving end as I can hear people chatting within matches very clearly. I could also hear the surrounding gunshots in gaming matches. Music came through loud on the headphones so it does leak some sound. None of the sounds was distorted but I will say the sound was "sharp" with lack of bass; I have yet to setup sound profiles on my PC for a better experience. I think if you just need some headphones for gaming on PC and Xbox these are great pick up and play headphones without all the hassle. No software to deal with and no logins to update headphones...They just work as intended.
Overall, I like them and they do gaming justice. can't really go wrong with the Astro A10 at all.

With all the key features previously found in Zeppelin Wireless including AirPlay 2, aptX Adaptive, and Spotify Connect, along with new upgraded features, the Bowers & Wilkins Zeppelin (130W) has been reimagined for the streaming age. It features 2x 1" Double Dome Tweeters, 2x 3.5” Midranges with Fixed Suspension Transducers (FST), and 1x 6" Subwoofer along with 5 channels of power amplification, and delivers sonic, room-filling audio performance. It provides direct access to your favorite music from a wide range of streaming services, podcasts, and radio stations via the Bowers & Wilkins Music App that brings together a wide range of music services under one platform. It’s based on a scalable platform that can be developed and upgraded with new features, such as multiroom capability (to be added in March 2022). Introducing for the first time ever, the multiroom functionality will allow you to create an ecosystem with other Bowers & Wilkins digitally-enabled products. Also features built-in Amazon Alexa voice control that allows you to play your favorite song, radio channel, or playlist with just a voice command. The new Zeppelin retains the unique, beautiful Zeppelin design along with solid acoustic principles for unmatchable sound no matter where you place it.

This is what award-winning sound, sounds like.
on February 15, 2022
Posted by: CrysisComplex
Bowers & Wilkins new wireless Zeppelin speaker is one of the cleanest hearing sounds I have ever heard in my life from a speaker. This device has a richness to the dimensions of sound it covers around the room. I am blown away and shocked they can hit a level of quality from a wireless device. The Zeppelin is elegant and you can just feel that this device was constructed in a way to give you optimal sound.
Zeppelin is somewhat heavy meaning you will not be moving this unit from room to room. Taking out the box and placing it where you want is best as this speaker needs to be plugged up and have A/C power to the unit. There isn't much in the box but just enough to get you going as fast as possible. Thankfully B&W gives a quick start guide that gets you going without wasting your time. Design is also modern yet strange; like a big football shape speaker facing you. Nothing wrong with that as it doesn't really take up that much space on my entertainment center. It isn't cumbersome or feels out of place in my home.
On the top of the speaker, the buttons include; Vol up, Play/Pause, Multifunction, Alexa / Smart speaker button, and Vol down. There is a light bar indicator to let you know if the speaker is on. The speaker can connect to Spotify Connect, AptX, Bluetooth, Airplay 2, and B&W's own Connect app. This gives you multiple ways to connect your music wirelessly with tons of compatibility.

Setup was easy with three simple instructions and you must download the app to set the speaker up. This includes an update to the speaker which I highly recommend doing before you enjoy the speaker.
The sound of the Zeppelin was simply the best. It was clean, clear, and powerful. Everything was fleshed out and you can hear every single detail in sound. The football shape speaker just gives you a sound I would call award-winning. The bass is strong but not overpowering. It was an instant smile across my face This was just using Airplay 2 alone how moving the sound was on this speaker. I couldn't believe this much sound was coming out of a speaker of this size.
Whatever drivers Bowers & Wilkins are using it's something that you will be extremely satisfied with. The five speakers inside are beyond exceptional and 24-bit/96kHz high-resolution sound is heavenly to listen to. The sound to my ears was magnificent! I was only able to test Tidal/MQA as that's the only platform I use this kinda music on but it delivered. Every tone and note was giving me a surround in my environment. with 24 bit music; there is also Deezer, Qobuz, TuneIn, and more to use to try. The integration with the app/speaker is great.
This is a true wireless speaker meaning there are really no ports for you to use an aux cord and if you are looking for that this is not the speaker for you. This is one for those who truly want a wireless speaker to connect to most of the wireless devices quickly. One feature I love inside of the Zeppelin is the ability to connect multiple speakers together with the B&W app or with Airplay 2. Combining this speaker with four other speakers was fun as they sync with each other flawlessly. Alexa worked as intended with no issues with the device hearing my voice.
Music. Music is what this device does and does it well beyond my expectations. The sound feels award-winning how clear and clean the music comes out at you. I'm truly blown away by the sound of this B&W Zeppelin model. I will say if you decide to pick one of these up there won't be disappointed at all. and oh boy once you connect this to multiple wireless speaker setups your home will be booming with sound. Clearly, it's one of the best speakers to date I've used. Definitely the most powerful I own.

Mirrorcasting without spending a ton on hardware.
on January 29, 2022
Posted by: CrysisComplex
j5create ScreenCast 4K was a very mixed bag for me. While there are many things I would praise about it, there are some faults as well. I appreciate the price point as this is a better option than say using a Roku as a PC/Android/iOS mirror cast. I also like that it has dual-band Wifi with 2.4/5.0 bands and that the wireless dongle can be placed where you want it.
So let’s start off by talking about the setup is for this device. Once out of the box they give you nearly everything you need to hook it up. You will need a TV with a USB port or a USB wall outlet as j5create does not provide. Once plugged into the TV they give you a set of instructions to follow to connect your Wifi. Finding the password was difficult on the screen but it is there is a super small font. Using 5.0ghz I started just using it as a real-world test. Using a friend Dell Inspiron laptop I wirelessly connected with no issues and it supports the 4K@30fps. Great enough and fast enough for videos to say the least but nothing more.
Once I used my own laptop the Asus ROG M16 it just wouldn’t connect at all. Even with me changing the resolutions of the laptop. I will say that the iOS screen mirroring works fine as well but it seems to just keep default 4K@30 at all times. You can’t play music through AirPlay as they as you to just Screen mirroring instead. You can also control the volume through an Android/iOS device volume keys. No issues with Android devices that I had around, just simply mirrored everything.
If you ask me; This device is good especially if you don’t want to be in the ecosystem of Roku/Google/Apple’s Airplay. It’s just a streaming video device that’s wireless with no strange logins or account making. Latency was also to me was pretty average but it’s a wireless device in HDMI so I’m pretty impressed. Also great if you don’t want to connect an HDMI each and everything time to your PC. But saying that means your mileage may vary especially with the PC side of things I can’t get my own laptop to connect. It is better than using a Roku as a wireless streaming video device. If updates can be applied I’m sure it can be a better device.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Logitech have created a mouse that's perfect for all forms of work. M650 is a mouse that I'm actually using when I'm on the go or at work. For a mouse of this price point I'm generally impressed but all of the features they can fit in here while still beating other each products out there.
The M650 is a mouse that's egomaniacally designed for larger hands while not being too flashy or bombarding you with useless things. This has accommodate me on all types of workflow throughout the day. There are tons of mini mouse out there for travel but this one fits my large hands just right so issues there. long hours and the M650 still provided a level of comfortability not many out there can do.
The mouse also make very silent clicks with each use so you won't truly disturb those around you. For vertical monitors this thing is a dream as you have a "smart" scroll wheel on the mouse that helps freely control the scroll of webpages or other productivity. There are two buttons on the side of the M650 that you can customize for other uses. want them to Play/Pause music or Copy/Paste it can be done here. The Logitech.com/OptionsPlus is where you would go to download the app for windows or mac. Logitech's Signature M650 also can use Bluetooth or use a USB dongle so compatibility shouldn't be a problem.
The best feature and the most defining thing for me here is that this mouse can last 2 years on two AA batteries which is AMAZING. 24 months of not charging is a god send. if the device actually last that long this will surely be a good product. I've been using it for DAYS and it doesn't have no signs of slowing down.
I guess you can already tell I highly recommend this mouse to everyone. It it works, does the job its suppose to do, fast, silent and at a cheap price? this is the all around mouse I would gravitate to for all things outside of gaming. truly a consumer friendly product.

This only has 1 hdmi input? So I can’t hook up my Apple TV n my PlayStation thru the sound bar? Or does it just pay to go with HTZ9F

Only one HDMI input on the soundbar. You can't hook up two HDMI IN sources for the soundbar.

If you want sound from all of your devices connected to the TV to play through the soundbar, You will need to use your TV's HDMI ARC INPUT. If your HDTV has ARC/eARC.
