Really Nice Headphones
on October 3, 2017
Posted by: grimmace
from MD
These are really nice headphones. They look nice, and the fit was good, not too tight. The earphones and headband are soft and light, you can wear them for long periods. My current set of noise cancelling headphones is an old Bose 3 set. The B&O really blow the older headphones away. The noise cancelling was superb, didn't feel any pressure or hear any hissing when it's turned on.
Using them isn't hard to get used too. Once connected by Bluetooth, the right ear piece has the controls on it. Just laying a finger on the metal and making the appropriate motion can play/pause, select the next/previous song, adjust volume, turn noise cancelling on/off and pick up phone calls. The motions are intuitive, I was using the motions quickly and the headphones always correctly received the inputs. Without Bluetooth (plugged in), you can still use noise cancelling.
The app lets you see the current status of the headphones in a nice layout. The battery charge, noise cancelling setting, volume, and play/pause/next/previous are all available here. Also, if firmware updates come out later, the app will update the headphones.
The headphones come with a soft plush case/bag, a 3.5mm male to male jack, a plane adapter, and USB cord for charging. The USB cord is really short, only one foot, but it uses a standard USB micro port, so any micro cable will do. The box it comes in is nice and makes a good opening presentation.
The sound is not muffled and clear. Highs and lows were good. Excellent sound quality with a variety of different music styles. You can set the type of sound characteristics in the app by 4 presets (warm, excited, relaxed, and bright), or set your own. The adjustments are slight, but can set the tone to your personal preference for listening.
I had one issue which was easy to remedy. When I got the headphones, the Bluetooth and noise cancelling didn’t work, and I couldn’t get them to charge. I popped open the battery case and figured out the battery was a little lose. The metal “springs” on the battery door that put pressure on the battery were to flat. I pried them up a bit and this added enough pressure to keep the battery on place. Once that was done, they worked perfectly, so if you have a power issue, check the battery compartment.
Overall the headphones look and sound great. The noise cancelling and headphones are not fatiguing. The touch controls are nice and easy to learn. They are expensive, but you get some nice features in addition to the sound for the money.

Another good Logitech Mouse
on August 2, 2017
Posted by: grimmace
from MD
I have mostly used Logitech mice and keyboards, and have had good results with them over the years. I have a wired G500s and a wireless G700s at present. The G703 has some advantages over the older mice. First is DPI, the G703 goes up to 12000, which is quite quick for moving around in game on a screen. Plugged in or wirelessly, the mouse worked flawlessly and acted the same. It worked fine over mouse pads and a wooden desk with a rough wood colored top. The mouse itself is comfortable, and with thumb buttons on the left, designed for right handed use. The mouse only has 6 buttons (all programmable) and the scroll wheel. So, think about the type of games you’ll use it for. All are easy to reach, and feel and respond well.
The Logitech gaming software picked up the unit no problem. The standard options became available, LED color, battery life, memory settings. Battery life is listed at up to 22 hours, but I'm sure lots of heavy, high DPI, high polling, session will bring that down. But, it should be enough to last a while. Worst case scenario, plug it in and it'll charge while in use. It also comes with a 10g weight to customize the mouse to your liking. You can also customize for the surface the mouse is on. The wireless adapter can be used with USB2, or micro USB with the included adapter.
The main benefit of this mouse it seems is to use it in conjunction with the powerplay pad. This adds wireless charging while playing or not using the mouse. Overall, it’s a solid mouse whether used wired or wirelessly.

Okay wireless headphones. BT and NFC for pairing worked with no problems. Voice commands for helping with setup. I got these and compared them to a set of wireless Sony XB50BS I have.
Pros
- Mic worked well for phone calls.
- Charging at the volume dongle instead of the earpiece is easier.
- Adjustable ear hooks and tips for better fits.
- Small earpiece size

Cons
- Ear hooks were really hard, all sizes were not that flexible, wasn't comfortable no matter which size I tried. The ear pieces were fine.
Main issues (using same devices and songs on both headphones)
- Bass wasn't great
- Sounded tinny

Good BT Portable Speaker
on June 25, 2017
Posted by: grimmace
from MD
Overall this is a good larger sized portable BT speaker. Setup was easy through BT or NFC. It comes with adapters for multiple countries, and a male to male 3.5mm cable. It can charge your USB devices from its internal battery, and it comes with aux in and line out 3.5mm receptors, so you can daisy chain the speaker with other speakers. It has a built-in handle, and it’s not too heavy making it easy to carry around. The main buttons all light up to see in the dark, and it controls volume, next/last song, pause/play, and has a mic for a phone call. It’s water resistant, so you can take it about anywhere. All of the external connectors are on the back behind a closable door. Inside the door around the various plug in holes is a piece of rubber to seal out anything foreign.
But, the main thing is the sound. It’s good. I played various songs from several sources and it sounds good. The bass isn’t booming, but it’s there. In order to get the bass, you have to turn it up to the higher volumes, then it seems to kick in. I also had it play music for a while and it seemed to loosen up. The bass seems better now after a few hours of playing, but even using an equalizer, the speakers can’t get low. For get togethers, this should be great. The sound is good, it can play loud, and you have a variety of ways to connect devices. For a BT connected somewhat ruggedized speaker it’s a good deal for taking music places and you want/need a bigger speaker.

Fun Family Project
on June 17, 2017
Posted by: grimmace
from MD
This was a fun project. I did it with my 9 year old child. We talked about electricity, magnets, current, paper/cones/enclosures. Everything you need is included, just have some tape and scissors on hand. It is easy to build and comes together nicely. There are inserts that can be colored too. The sound for the main speaker was surprisingly nice. The LED's strobe with the music and you can change the colors. BT hookup is easy to do. Nothing bad to say about the physical product itself.
The only bad thing is the BOSE app to control all the functions, and the directions is only available on iOS. If you go to the products site, there isn't even a pdf download of the instructions, later gen iOS or nothing. But, it's easy to figure out without directions, and know some of the experiments can't be done directly without the app. Hopefully they add the Android app version soon.

Good Robo Vacuum
on June 17, 2017
Posted by: grimmace
from MD
Overall this was a good robo-vacuum, better than a two year old Bissell I have. They keep getting better. It's not just new features, but the vacuuming is better. I have yet to see a robo-vaccuum as good as an upright, but on the highest setting, this one cleans pretty well.
Pluses-
- The remote allows you operate the device directly in the direction you want.
- Good cleaning options and you can set by time
- Went out and cleaned rooms fine and found its way back with no problems.
- The remote lets you control everything, so you don’t have to bend down to work it.
- Vacuum power is great on highest setting on carpeted floors.
- Battery life was fine, cleaned two large rooms with plenty to spare.
- Easy to swap out the dirt bin, comes with an extra filter.

The app, didn’t use it. Why?
- Wants to access my contacts? Why?
- Wants to make and manage phones calls? No.
- Access to files and photos. Okay, standard I guess
- Wants my location? It’s in my house, GPS is not needed.
If you want to use the app, you have to agree to all four. No thanks.

Good Kids Headphones
on May 26, 2017
Posted by: grimmace
from MD
These are a pair of headphones just for kids. They limit the maximum volume to protect there hearing. The max volume is not that high, if there is a lot of noise around, these what is being listened to will be hard to hear. On a just 9-year-old, they were more on the ear than over the ear, so maybe just older kids will have to deal with outside sound more. She said they were comfortable, and liked the stickers that came with them.
For the price, they have a good build quality. The ear cushions can be replaced if torn up. They adjust easily for a variety of head sizes. With only one adjustable input, sound, they are easy for little ones to control. They do what they say, more options would cost more, and you don't want to spend a lot on a kid’s device. For a few tablets and a computer, we tried them on, the sound was good. Great for kids.
There is a JLab burn tool for headphones, they recommend for 40 hours, but for some kids headphones, I don't think it's necessary.

Best Linksys EA router yet
on May 8, 2017
Posted by: grimmace
from MD
I have reviewed the EA9500 and EA7500 before and this router is the best so far. Connection with an AC device produced the speed shown in the picture. The range was better for me than the EA9500 or EA7500. I had better connections and speeds throughout my house with the EA9300. You can read the specs on the product page.
The router is smaller than the EA9500 and has six antennas. Setup was easy, and the manual setup option was easy to find. I went to the manual setup right away. The interface is presented well. It was easy to get around and intuitive to find settings. All of the radios and a guest network are just simple clicks to change. The router already had a firmware update ready, it downloaded, installed, and rebooted with no problems. You can set the lights on or off, but they aren't too bright. It's still a nice option to have. Two USB 3 ports make it easy to use for music or file distribution. The unit connected to my network with no problems and picked up my wired and wireless devices. It has everything you would expect for this class of router with more power. QoS, Network diagrams etc are all there. The only issue the router had was the speed test still wants to use Adobe Flash. Luckily, you can speed test from any browser without Flash.
The highest wireless connection speed for me was 866 on the 5GHz channels. File transfers worked with no drops. I transferred some 4GB+ files and they came through fine. Pretty good for a wireless connection. I never got below 3 bars around my house, better than the EA9500 for me. Instructions are in the router help menus and provide any additional information you might need. It’s a straight forward setup tough.
The EA9500 provides 4 more ethernet ports, and only one of its USB ports is 3.0, but you can always get a switch if you need more ports. Maybe it’s the fact the EA9300 has quad core processor instead of a dual core, but bang for the buck, I’d take the EA9300 over the EA9500 and other routers in its price range. This is a really good router that should meet your home network needs.

Okay so far

Posted by: grimmace

I have been using a blade and decide to give this a try. For now it's a 4, but it says to give it 30 days and I will. After 30 days I will see if it worth more or less stars and update. I have used it 4 days so far.
So far the shaver is better used dry than wet. Dry or wet, it takes multi passes to get the best the results. Even after 4 days, the results are better. It's easy to clean. The charge goes in the plug and stays on the wall, so it can charge out of the way. One charge should last a week according to the manual. So far it's worked great. Right now, it's not as good as a blade, but hopefully it will continue to get better. But, for quick and easy decent results it's been doing fine.

Good Extender
on May 2, 2017
Posted by: grimmace
from MD
A really good extender. Powerful and setup was easy. Plug it in and then connect to it by a laptop, tablet, or phone. Once connected, log into the extenders website and follow the instructions, or setup manually. I did both and they worked fine from a laptop. You can even turn off the LED lights by a switch on the back.
Once setup, my devices connected to it and got to the internet. The range was good, as described. The manual does say to be in the 70% signal range of your wireless router for the best extender performance. I went all over my house and had no problems with connections, and had a powerful signal. It has 5 built in Gigabit ports, but it is switch only. You cannot connect to the device by a wired connection. As the product says, it's an extender only. So, an extender with a 5-port switch built in.
The only thing to think about is do you want a dedicated extender, extender/wap or a router for the price. A full router, or plug in extender will probably not give you the range of this device. The device works well, and if you need help, their website has additional information and videos on setup.

All of the comments are from the original firmware shipped with the router. The issue is, for a top end router with the matching price, it needs to have features others in the range do. Firmware upgrades should be able to fix many of these issues I think, but they should be there from the start. So, average overall since it has room to improve and should.

I connected jbl 9.1 soundbar with my tv through hdmi arc and playing atoms content through Netflix but on soundbar it’s showing Dolby surround not atoms. How to get atoms ??
Your TV has to have an eARC HDMI port for Atmos or DTS:X formats to be passed. So, an HDMI 2.1 port. Without that you won't get Atmos from a TV. If you have a steaming device you can connect to the HDMI port on the soundbar, you'll get Atmos through it.

Does the Sony 1000XM3 InEar have it's own volume control? I need to amplify my listening, while my wife listens to the normal TV volume. I have a pair of the Sony 1000XM# over the Ear Head Phones and of course they DO have volume control. Thanks.
No. Volume is controlled by the device outputting sound. There is no volume control on the earbuds.
