Great Large BT Party Speaker
on June 19, 2021
Posted by: Posted1
from Niwot CO
Great speaker. Very large, but well worth it.
The sound quality is fantastic and the volume is impressive. One of Sony's longest lasting and best selling and performing options is Sony's MEGA BASS. I have several Sony products that offer this option and it never disappoints. It really does offer a a deep and even punch that is certainly "bassy" but not at all overbearing. Great job Sony in tuning that sound. Sony uses what they call "X-Balanced" speaker tuning for delivering this rich, crisp, clean and balanced mid's, highs and lows. A great audio option.
As for volume levels, we have a 35'x15' indoor pool. With 8 teenagers swimming in there, 4 different conversations going on and the splashing and water play that accompanied it, when I had this at full volume, it was loud (and clear) enough that they asked me to turn it down. I turned it down to about 50% and it was perfect.
Another nice feature is the IPX4 water resistance rating. I had absolutely no problems placing this right by the pool knowing it would certainly catch some "water shrapnel" from the teenage shenanigans that are sure to go on. Indeed, it survived several days in the pool house, absolutely none-the-worse for wear.
One great feature is the battery. They claim it's 20 hours worth of life, but I am skeptical considering the many variables (what volume level, what part of the LED lights, operating temperature etcetera) can certainly play major rules in battery life.
That said, it does have USB port 1 that can both charge and play music, and USB 2 that won't play music, but will charge. So if your phone is low, you can plug it into either of these ports and charge your devices. Additionally, USB quick charging will offer up to 80 minutes of playback on 10 minutes charge time. I did not test this feature but found it worth mentioning from the manufacturers white sheet.
The back panel offer in addition to the previously mentioned USB ports also offers inputs for microphone and another for guitar. Each input has adjustable levels to offer your camp fire friends a great sing-along buy the fire. Very cool. There is also a standard 1.5 mm input jack. Well thought out.
Above the enclosed panel that offers these input options, there are 3 buttons that allow you even more options to use and enjoy this speaker. There are buttons for "Party Connect" that allows for chaining of multiple speakers, a "Battery Care" button that allows you to maintain and manage the battery as well as a "Light" button to manage the LED lighting system.
The speaker was cleverly designed... You can stand it up vertically or lay it down horizontally depending on your current environmental needs and the sound is equally as impressive in either orientation. Very well thought out.
Sony recommends 2 apps to assist in speaker use. The "Sony Music Center" app is intuitive and offers multiple control options for operating the music portion of the speaker.
The other app is named "Fiestable" and is designed to control the lighting. This one, I don't know... I loaded it, deleted it, cleared cache multiple times and it just never worked. Is this a deal breaker? Well, no, not for me. The lighting control (to me) seems kind of hokey and not really something I would use. But I thought it worth mentioning.
End of the day, this is a very good speaker if you have the need. For us, having teenagers and the indoor pool at home, this is a no brainer. We also use it while camping both for playing music, as well as plug-in a guitar and mic to entertain the troops,
I would energetically recommend to a friend, but I would note the "Fiestable" app not seeming to work.
Good choice if you need it.

The Good, The OK and The Seriously?!?!
on June 13, 2021
Posted by: Posted1
from Niwot CO
OK, I am not going to lie... I love these headphones.
I have had the opportunity to use and review multiple headphones over the years that range from the basic entry level clear up to the high-end audiophile grade headphones. These hold their own even against most competition.
First, the pairing was simple (as should be expected in 2021) and I had them up and running in seconds. The on-board controls are OK at best, average at worst. Where the "Seriously?!?!" comes into play in my review is due to the controls. Not the controls themselves, but the included documentation is some where between a sad joke and utterly useless. I had to get the useful information from the Internet. Is that a deal breaker? Well no, but you would think a legacy audio company like JVC would/could have done much better.
As for sound, these are very good. Not the best I have ever tested, but for the price-point, these are almost impossible to beat.
To test the sound, I used a rather eclectic collection of songs:
1) Billy Strings playing a 1935 Martin D-18. Pure music. No complicated production or clever hiding of mistakes, no delay, no chorus, no compression etcetera. The sound was excellent.
2) Topher-The Patriot. I am not a huge fan of most popular rap "music" as I find the overall message to be somewhere between disgusting and shameful. That said, Topher delivers a very positive message with clean production, classic driving bass and meaningful lyrics. Again, the sound was on these wireless headphones was excellent.
3) 5 Finger Death Punch-Seasons Change. Another highly produced but unique sound from 5FDP. As always, the guitar tone is rich and deep, the vocals are powerful and emotion-filled. Another great delivery from these headsets.
4) Tom Macdonald-Snowflakes. Another example of nicely produced but relatively simple musical drive with thought provoking lyrics. Not at all disappointed in the JVC's.
The list goes on to include The Dead South, George Jones, In Flames, Alan Jackson, Taylor Swift, A7X, Queensryche and on and on and on... Regardless of genre, these were a great platform for delivery.
End of the day, I give these a 5 star in spite of the very poor instructions. I would whole-heartedly recommend to a friend especially for the budget price-point.

Not a bad camera... Setup was simple and intuitive. A little playing around and you'll be able to fine-tune it to your liking/needs.
In the box is the camera, USB cable, mounting options, a strap and documentation. Please note, you will need 8 AA batteries and a memory card. It will support up to 128 G.
As mentioned, set-up was simple but you will probably need to play around to get what you need.
In the pictures, you will notice the amazingly rare and elusive Canis Lupus PieDogorus in it's natural environment in the back 1/3rd of 1850 Post Manor. In the other picture, you will also see the equally rare and elusive Canis Lups DoozerDogorus also at 1850 Post Manor as well.
The pictures will offer you a great opportunity to see what goes on when you are not around and to scout potential hunting sites or watch what kind of shenanigans happen around your campsite at night.
We are heading to Wellington Lake high up in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado tomorrow for a few nights starting tomorrow. I am looking forward to experimenting more and getting to know this camera and our campsite better.
End of the day, I would recommend to a friend.

Do you experience dropped calls, slow internet speeds, or the inability to send and receive texts while you’re on the road or enjoying some time off the beaten path? With the weBoost Drive Reach RV, you can improve your cell signal, wherever your adventures take you. Designed to enhance signal coverage for RVs, campers and trailers, especially in remote areas. The weBoost Drive Reach RV Cellular Signal Booster uses the latest technology to pick up an existing cell signal, route it the booster, then broadcast that amplified signal into your RV. To install the Drive Reach RV, first select where to mount the outside antenna using the provided ladder bracket. This is the most important step as it impacts the overall performance of the booster. Check that the antenna is at least 12 inches from all other antennas and openings to avoid interference. Use the modular mast extensions to ensure the antenna is above any obstructions. Once the outside antenna is installed, run the coax cable behind the weather stripping of an opening, like a door, window, or pop out slide, into your RV. Next, place the inside antenna on a table or countertop near where you plan to use your devices the most. Then run the coax cables to the booster. Plugin both the outside and inside cables. Now, plug in the power cord to the booster. Finally, plug the power cord into your vehicle’s power supply and turn on the booster. When the green light is on, it’s working. All coax cable needed for installation is provided. Stay connected, wherever you choose to explore, with the weBoost Drive Reach RV Cellular Signal Booster!

OK, in all this is a great system. Installation was a cinch. Mount outdoor antenna with any of several supplied mounting brackets, drill a hole, run external cable, plug power in, plug external antenna lead in... Then plug in internal lead, connect internal antenna and bam, system should be good and it is.
That said, it is VITALLY important that you place the internal antenna roughly table-top height AND in main part of RV where you are going to use it. The internal antenna has a relatively small RF throw area. If you are in visual range of that antenna, you are good to go but if not, you might have some challenges.
We tested this at a private camp-site in Menooka Park at Wilson Lake in Kansas. Outside of the RV, data was spotty at best all over the campground. Inside the RV (without the weBoost) data was virtually non-existent. As soon as you power on the weBoost, and are in range of the internal antenna, data was excellent. both 4G and 5G and we had seamless streaming on multiple devices.
End of the day, this is a very good unit BUT please install to recommended guidelines, specifically mounting internal antenna at table-top heights and mount it where it would be used most.
I would have given a 5 star if the internal antenna had slightly more range and coverage, but end of day, very good system.
I would certainly recommend to a friend.

Great Indoor Outdoor Camera
on May 16, 2021
Posted by: Posted1
from Niwot CO
I'd never heard of Eufy before but when this opportunity came up, I figured I'd give it a try. I am not disappointed.
In the box is the camera, 20 ft power chord, mounting hardware and 32g Micro SD card. Unboxed everything and discovered a pretty clever magnetic mounting device that came with several mounting options.
I downloaded the app, created an account, powered the unit on and within seconds of getting it on my WiFi, it was up and running. Easy as could be.
Started messing around with it and it has simple interface that allows for multiple settings including microphone, motion detection, camera orientation, recording options, storage and notifications. Simple.
A couple cool features are the 2-way audio that you can have a conversation with whoever is near the camera. It also allows for live viewing.
The spotlight is a hit or miss. I personally don't have it set to on, but some people may prefer that. Depends on user and environment.
At first glance, it has a blue light that is on constantly until you record and then it switches to flashing. I personally don't like this because it draws attention to the camera. Some may prefer this. Good news, they give you the option to turn that off.
You can add multiple other devices from Eufy so future expansion is quick and easy.
End of the day, this is a solid unit and I would easily recommend it to a friend.

Excellent Affordable, Portable Presentation Unit
on May 15, 2021
Posted by: Posted1
from Niwot CO
This is a great choice if you need a professional, portable (or permanent) presentation projector.
Inside the box you will find:
*Projector
*Soft-side carry case
*Power chord
*Remote control
*Battery
*Soft-side carry case
*Power chord
*Remote control
*Battery
Once unboxed, set up was a breeze. I don't have any pictures of the machine in use since we are have to check our phones at security. But suffice it to say, the picture is crisp, clean and handles very well in daylight even with lights on. Certainly bright enough for most environments.
On the back you have the usual suspects:
*Power
*USB A
*USB B
*Audio
*Video
*Computer
*HDMI
*USB A
*USB B
*Audio
*Video
*Computer
*HDMI
The audio was adequate. Not outstanding, but certainly functional.
The remote offers easy operation from your hand so most adjustments can be made from anywhere in the room.
I really like the portability as I often need to present across campus and it's just easier to carry this than to rely on in-house.
This is an excellent choice. End of the day I would wholeheartedly recommend it to a friend.

Good Video Surveillance System
on May 14, 2021
Posted by: Posted1
from Niwot CO
This was the second Lorex video system I was able to get. Based on my first experience, when I got the chance for this one I jumped on it.
The most difficult of the installation is pulling the cables if you do not already have them. If you have not had very much experience, I would suggest hiring a pro. If you have experience, it's 2 to a few hours work, depending on your environment.
The main control unit is small, sleek and should fit into most any environment. The only complaint, and it's probably only an issue for a few of us with fat sausage finger's, is the video/power connectors on the back of the unit are very close together. I had to have my 15 year old daughter connect them.
The internal DVR software is clean and simple. Set up took maybe 20 minutes for all 8 camera's. It's intuitive, clean and straight forward.
The camera's are decent looking and quality. The system delivers excellent daytime quality with crisp and sharp video. You can also zoom in which is nice. Night time quality is as expected, not bad but certainly less than daytime.
It has some pretty cool features like virtual fence that allows you to eliminate automatic recording of repetitive things, like cars or bikes on the roadway.
As for the "Active Deterrence" camera's, It's a light, but not a particularly intimidating one. While this might be a useful feature for some, I'm not yet convinced it's more of a gimmick than a useful tool. Bit it can be managed on a per camera basis so ultimately it can manages as preferred.
End of the day, this an excellent choice for home, business or retail needs. I would highly recommend it to a friend.

Very nice printer. I needed one for the "at work" office. Even though I don't spend as much time "In" the office as I used to, it's still nice to have.
Setup was simple, connectivity was effortless, print queuing and delivery is quick.
As for HP+, it's a great idea, just not sure it will be much use for me considering how little this unit will be used, but I really like the plan.
End of the day, a very good printer, especially for heavy users.
I would recommend it to a friend.

Very Nice Value Headphones

My wife is a firefighter and works out veraciously every day. She loves these because not only do the sound good, but they are also rugged and sweat resistant. We have used some headsets in the past that when you get sweaty, they more easily fall out. These do not...
They are comfortable, easy to operate controls and sound quite good.
In all, I would certainly recommend them to a friend.

Good Choice If You Like Iced Coffee
on March 30, 2021
Posted by: Posted1
from Niwot CO
We recently moved into a much larger house that has a small kitchenette area on the second story where 3 of the 5 bedrooms are. My 16 year old daughter chose that story to "live on" while my 19 year old son chose the basement... My daughter LOVES Iced Coffee so when I got the chance to get this, it was a no-brainer. Glad I did.
Packaging was great, set up was expectedly simple and operation was intuitive. We used freshly ground coffee to experiment. First 4 cups were great. We then used pre-ground. No fault of this unit but not unexpected, the fresh ground was much better. That being said, the pre-ground was not bad, but fresh ground is worth the effort, especially for cold brew.
End of the day, I would certainly recommend this to a friend.

I'm not sure I understand the question. You should be able to plug the USB into your PC, turn your mouse to the "on" position and have it operate no problems.
