I've been a wired headset user for awhile and looking to get a decent wireless headset. I've had a couple wireless ones in the past but none really fit the bill quite right. Either the sound was off, wireless connection was spotty or the headset just didn't fit right for one reason or another. With this headset though, it checked off a lot of boxes for me and I'm thinking I've found my go-to wireless headset now.
For background, I've been using Astro A40s, seemingly, forever now. Good sound, mic is clear and static free, fits nicely and is comfortable to wear for long gaming sessions. Biggest two cons I had with it were that they weren't wireless and there's no noise cancelling on them. Having used this headset for a few days now, I'm really pleasantly surprised with these and it's coming time to, possibly, retire my A40s.
Sound is crisp and clear. Whether gunshots in the distance or footsteps nearby, I can hear everything really clearly. Background noises in game are distinct but not muddled. All of this is aided by the ANC on these headphones. Blocks out quite a bit of the ambient background noise in my place so everything in game comes through crystal clear. Mic is also clear as well and teammates complimented me on how better I sound.
Fit is also a plus for me. For those of you with big heads (I wear a 7 1/2 fitted cap) this one fits very comfortably with no head pinch. The earpads are a micro-suede type fabric. Not really my preferred ear pad material but they keep my ears cool during long gaming sessions. Button placement on the headset is quite intuitive so no fumbling around for this or that switch. Volume control is easily accessible and easy to manipulate as well.
Only "downside" I can think of is that I kinda wished there was some RGB on this but that's superficial. Main point is these wireless headphones are great and looking forward to more gaming sessions with these bad boys.

That said, really nice gaming keyboard for those in the market for a 60% one. I know some die hards need their wireless keyboards but this one performs very nicely and have had zero issues with it so far.
Normally, I use a full size (100%) keyboard; both for gaming and productivity. Wanting a little change in the gaming setup, I opted for this 60% one so that I can keep both keyboards on my desk without taking up too much space and so that I can easily swap as needed.
The keyboard itself is really tiny. Took a bit to get used to coming from a 100% size one but it's for gaming so I don't really need all the "extra" keys. There are a number of gaming profiles you can choose for this keyboard/layouts. Some of the more popular titles like COD, Fortnite, etc. Within the Steelseries app, you can select/customize these as needed. I think the RGB on this is a tad weak but that's a personal preference. Could be brighter is all I'm saying.
But the key stroke customization is where it's at. With more and more keyboards these days, you get snappier, more customizable keys that feel great. Whether it be the rapid tap or rapid trigger setup you want, you can tailor the keys to operate how you want them to based on which keys are pressed, last key pressed and how hard you press the keys. For FPS games, which is what I mostly play, these are great in getting the extra millisecond drop in enemies.

Lots of wireless options out there from big names to smaller ones. Biggest thing to consider is the coverage of the provider. Aside from the big boys, most of these smaller providers utilize the larger networks at a smaller fee.
This Lively service comes from Best Buy Health. It's aimed towards senior citizens due to the low(er) monthly cost and the basic/simpler services provided. Nothing really fancy, or too fancy, here in terms of services. However they do have a number of services (based on your monthly plan) that are geared towards seniors and their daily needs/activities. Things like Care Agents, prescriptions aid, as well as health and wellness benefits.
Biggest pro here is that they utilize the Verizon network. Easily the best of the big networks in my opinion. There are a couple dead spots in the area near me but it's similar with all the other networks I've used so no biggie. That said, great reception overall.
As with most other providers, you can bring your own phone or purchase one of the Jitterbug phones from their website.

I think these automated door locks are a must-have these days. They're just so convenient while still being secure. No more fumbling around with keys when loaded with grocery bags or fumbling around in the dark trying to unlock the door. With previous models, you had an app or keyfob to automatically unlock the door. Or, if your door lock was capable of it, you had geo-fencing that would unlock just from getting near your door. This lock takes it a step further with palm reading which is somewhat new but just as convenient.
I've had a couple of these door locks and all worked well. Although I did have a major issue with my previous one that cost me a locksmith to open my door. That being said, still enjoy having these locks for both security and convenience.
This one is unique in that it unlocks by scanning your palm. There is a keypad for manual unlocking but this utilizes your palm to unlock the lock. I've seen/heard this technology being used in China for payments so it works but still might be a bit too "new" for some folks. I had my concerns about this just because I hadn't heard that much of it being used state side, let along with unlocking doors.
So far, it's been pretty accurate. I would imagine it would have to be so if it's used for things like payments/commerce. Still though, I was a tad leery about it since I wasn't 100% sure on its stability and functionality. As mentioned before, it works pretty well and I haven't had any lock out issues with it.
Battery life was another thing of concern as well for me. With most door locks you power them by AA/AAA batteries which has to potential to die on you when least expected. This one solves that issue both with battery use as well as a rechargeable battery within the unit.
The camera on this is cool as well. I have a separate door bell cam already so this one may be replacing that as well since it'll be somewhat redundant to have two cameras on my front door.
Overall, I like it and it works well. I know some may have some reservations with this new technology but it works well for me so no complaints.

I've had a number of different home security devices in my place like sensors, camera, etc. Biggest issue I've encountered is just the confusion with using different apps in order to use them. Sure, some of these devices work with Google Home/Homekit but not all so that usually leaves me having a single app to control this one device while the others can be used with the other home services. This set from Simplisafe eliminates that while still enabling modularity in the future with upgrades or added devices.
The set included a few window/door sensors, as well as a motion sensor; camera, keypad and the main hub. Simply using these devices will pretty much ensure coverage for your place without needing to get any additional sensors or devices. I live in a condo so, sq ft wise, there's not a whole lot to cover so this set does the job perfectly.
I can the the camera covering both my living room/front door and the window sensors in my bedrooms. I'll probably put the motion sensor either in my kitchen or the main hallway. I am thinking I might need/want some more window/door sensors but we'll see. With the keypad, I can activate/deactivate while I'm coming or going or, I can use the app for that as well.
As far as upgrades, I know they have doorlocks and CO2 sensors so I might get those in the future. Overall, I'm liking the set AND the fact that I can add on to it down the road without needing to add another hub or utilize a different app to do that. For now, I'm in the process of removing my old setup and will have this one in place to continue monitoring my place.

Pretty decent sound from these earbuds. They're relatively inexpensive (compared to others out there) and provide good sound quality for not that much money.
I've used numerous earbuds in my time and price is always the big thing with these. New ones comes out all the time so putting in some money for decent buds can be a pain sometimes. While these aren't your high end brand, these are no slouch when it comes to sound quality vs $$$.
Like most other earbuds, you get some different sized tips (only two sizes with these) as well as the charging cable. The earbuds are comfortable and don't slip out too easily but fit snug enough.
With regards to the sound. Not quite as bass heavy as I like but that's a personal preference. Good mids and highs with these so sound quality is pretty clear. Bass could be a bit more but, again, that's a personal preference.
Charge time seems pretty good although I haven't been able to use them from fully charged to empty. With these buds + case, you should have no issues with battery life over the course of a day.

Keyboard cases are pretty much a "must-have" if you have the larger iPad. Yes it's great for content viewing but with the additional screen size, it'd be almost criminal not to utilize the iPad for work purposes as well.
The Apple Keyboard is nice however it's quite pricey and somewhat limiting in its uses. Several other manufacturers have come out with their own keyboard cases but Logitech seemed to pull ahead in this race with their Combo Touch case. I'm a huge fan of that case and think it's still the best keyboard case option out there, however, with their latest product, the Flip Folio, it adds a different twist to the "standard" key board case.
Firstly, the Flip Folio has a stand alone keyboard which is not directly attached to the case. You have the iPad in the stand case where you can put it into the best viewing position for you and then the keyboard (connects via Bluetooth) can be used anywhere. This enables you a little more freedom in terms of how/where you use your iPad now as you're no longer "required" to be physically connected to it. You can mount the iPad higher up on your workstation and have your keyboard lower or however you wish to setup your iPad.
The keyboard is super lightweight and connects (magnetically) to the case when not in use. You have to put the keys face down on the case to attach. The keyboard has several hot keys that enable you to use the iPad (almost) touch free.
However, with this keyboard style, there are some setbacks. The biggest pro for me with the Combo Touch case was there was a touchpad. You could use that keyboard setup without ever needing to touch the iPad screen. This Flip Folio doesn't have a touchpad. You still need to touch the screen to launch apps or what not. For some, this might be an issue as it was with me. Others, depending on your work, may not feel this is a con. You can bypass this by using a Bluetooth mouse but I feel that just adds extra weight/clutter to this setup.
I think this case depends on your use case for it. For me, the Combo Touch is still the king. It works both for leisure and productivity uses. The Flip Folio, I think, would be better suited to someone who's more data entry oriented or keyboard heavy user like a writer or coder. In that sense, this case makes a better use case for them since they're mostly heads down writing code or maybe editing a document.
That said, I think this is great new product that's sure to be a hit. Again, my preference is for the Combo Touch case but this one also is a solid choice for a keyboard case.

Decent, all-around laptop for light duty use/tasks
on May 27, 2025
Posted by: LouRevue
I've used a number of laptops in my day but the ones I've usually stayed away from were Chromebooks. Usually, these things came with Celeron chips making them really slow and laggy. Almost wasn't worth the effort in using them since they were so slow to do even basic tasks. But, with this one it's a bit different and in a better way.
For starters, this laptop is probably best suited for a student or light duty user. While this laptop has some nice hardware to it, it's not really designed for mid/heavy duty type tasks.
14" screen size is nice and compact/. It's FHD so it's clear enough for just about anyone's needs whether it be YouTube, Netflix or general word processing type tasks.
This one has a Intel i3 chip so it's much better than the usual Celeron chips I've previously used before. Again, light \ tasks are handled pretty well and there's no lag like with Celeron processors.
128GB drive and LPDDR5 RAM round out the specs on this which makes this laptop perform quite well in most day to day tasks.
A couple drawbacks (maybe) are that the "hard drive" on this is eMMC. While it's fast enough, or faster than your older disc drives, it's not replaceable or upgradeable. Also, the RAM is great for this laptop as it's geared for lower power usage but, again, not replaceable or upgradeable. If you're wanting to keep this as a long term laptop where you can upgrade some components then this one definitely isn't for you. But, right out of the box, it works well and it suitable for just about any user.

Probably one of the cooler tech devices out there. This is way above and beyond the normal mini hoop set you got from the toy store in years past. This is the updated version which gives you a better shooting experience with the addition of apps and streaming. No more using a cheap foam ball and plastic hoop. With this, those days are long gone. This update to the old classic has a metal rim, inflatable rubber ball and a TV screen to boot.
The biggest attraction with this is the hoop itself. It's a "smart" screen with built in WiFi and internet connectivity. On top of just shooting hoops, you can stream TV while you play. You get the standard NetFlix, YouTube, Disney type channels so you can thoroughly entertain yourself while shooting hoops in your living room. On top of that you have the ability to play with people anywhere with the additional apps within the UI. Think of it like the App Store but with a basketball hoop.
Yes, there is a pay-to-play aspect to this so it's up to you what you want to use. Using it as-is is great too from just shooting hoops or streaming YouTube or something.
The unit is pretty hefty so make sure all the mounts are tightened properly. While you can use it on any door, I find that using this in a larger room, like a living room, works best since it allows you to have room to move and shoot properly.
That said, great little piece to add to the man cave, or dorm room, to pass the time.

Like most people, the wifi in my place is somewhat spotty. There's always that one place or space where the wifi signal just doesn't reach or isn't quite as fast as other places in the house. Having recently upgraded to gigagbit internet, I wanted to make sure, this time, my wifi would be on point wherever I am in my place.
For me, it was the bedroom where my signal would die out for some reason. As soon as I turned the corner into my bedroom, the wifi signal would get super weak and almost unusable. I previously "resolved" this issue by getting another router and then laying out 100ft of ethernet cable to my bedroom from the main router and hooking it up in there. It worked but was super ugly and not really ideal.
This mesh wifi system is the perfect solution to my problem and it works beautifully. I placed the routers in my bedroom, living room and upstairs to get better coverage. Simple and easy enough to hook everything up. Once connected to the main router and configured, I'm getting speeds of 600-800Mbps everywhere in my place now. While it's just a wifi signal, it's such a nice feeling knowing that I have coverage in my place and speeds to boot.

Excellent laptop for everyday use
ByLouRevuefromWashington, DC
Having had the chance to use this laptop, I must say it’s quite an impressive model for almostn any use. With an abundance of features housed in a sleek, stylish body, it’s a solid laptop for anyone in the market for a new/replacement laptop.
Using a 7th gen i5 dual core processor, the laptop functions on par with just about any laptop in its price range. With 8GB of RAM (12GB max) and a 1TB hard drive, it offers plenty of speed and room for all your files and enough power/speed to perform almost any task.
As far as the aesthetics go, this is an impressive looking laptop with clean lines, brushed aluminum cover and beveled edges. It’s a very nice looking laptop no doubt and the design, overall, is quite appealing. It comes with a full size keyboard as well as backlit keys which is a nice touch. Only gripe with the keyboard are the arrow buttons as the Up/Down buttons are smaller due to keyboard layout. The power button is on the right side of the laptop which is a bit unique as well as a dedicated volume button. There are 2 USB 3.0 ports as well as 1 USB 2.0 port, HDMI, SD Card and USB-C port. There is no CD drive for anyone wondering. The laptop (closed) is only about ¾ inch tall however it’s a bit wider than most due to the full size keyboard.
Power/performance. Using a dual-core processor I was under the impression this would be relatively slow and have choppy performance when opening multiple programs. Being this is the latest gen processor from Intel, this is not the case. Opening 2-3 programs at once was done with relative ease and switching between them was pretty flawless. The 8GB RAM comes in quite handy here and even with a 5400 RPM HDD, this laptop was able to perform tasks with very good speed. Battery life is pretty good. Using it “normally” and leaving it on for about 5-6 hours, there was about 50% battery left. Also, one very noteworthy benefit to this laptop, it doesn’t get that hot when left on for long periods of time which is VERY nice.
The display is probably the most impressive feature on here. A full 1080p display is quite vibrant and displays bright and dark colors extremely well. Those wanting to watch Netflix/Hulu will have no issues with the display. In addition to visuals, the sound from this laptop is equally impressive. For watching movies or just playing music, the speakers on this laptop deliver quite nicely without too much reverberation or distorted sound.
One of my initial thoughts of this being a 2-in-1 was that the tablet was an afterthought/gimmick. Having used previous 2-in-1 laptops, I was expecting the tablet functionality to be quite lackluster. Again, this was not the case. In this unit, you have, both, a well built laptop as well as tablet on-the-go device. Once in tablet mode, the screen orients itself to that of a normal tablet using Windows Tiles. Touch sensitivity is surprisingly smooth and using paint programs worked well without any lag or drops in sensitivity. Using the tablet form works really well when you want to sit back and watch videos or movies. Very nice.
A couple concerns with this laptop were;
The hard drive. While it’s a large 1TB drive, I would’ve expected something, at least, in the 7200 RPM range. Being fast enough for normal business related tasks, anyone wanting to use this laptop for video editing or other processor intensive jobs might find it to be a bit slow. This can easily be remedied by replacing the HD for a faster spindle drive or a SSD. However it would’ve been nice to have a tad faster hard drive here. The keyboard, for me, took a bit getting used to since I have previously used standard laptop keyboards without the number pad. This is a personal preference so nothing against the design. Just noting that those of you used to that type of laptop keyboard, there will be a bit of learning curve involved however I think the addition of the number pad is great thing and should be standard on all laptops. While the brushed aluminum case is aesthetically appealing, I’m a little concerned about it getting scratched/dinged from normal use or if when you’re changing it to be used as a tablet. This is the case with some laptops that use this metal casing so just something to be aware of.
Overall, this is an impressive laptop, reasonably priced with enough up-to-date technology that will last you for several years to come. Being that it’s a 2-in-1, it’s an added bonus which allows you to use this device in ways you should be able to do and with relative ease.There is some bloatware included (this should be no surprise) so make sure to uninstall/delete the stuff you don’t need. Aside from a somewhat slow hard drive, the other features on this laptop more than make up for it. Very nice buy for a new work laptop or student.
It took a bit of time to setup my laptop as well. Have you tried uninstalling the bloatware on this laptop? I did and I don't have any issues with boot speed or anything else on my laptop.

Can an owner of the original non active 65t comment on the fit and stability difference with the active version? Curious if that and the extra IP rating is worth a look, or negligible.
I own both the active and regular 65T's and I don't see any noticeable difference between them. Aside from the IP rating, there's really not much difference. Both fit exactly the same and fit pretty snugly in the ear.
Brighten your day and night with this Philips Being Hue ceiling light. The dimming function lets you set an ambience for different moods, and it works with the Philips Hue dimmer switch and mobile app for versatile control. The ZigBee technology of this 32W Philips Being Hue ceiling lamp provides smooth, efficient interoperability with multiple Hue lighting units.
Can this light be controlled by a existing wired wall switch? I plan to replace the light that is already there with this one, but I would prefer to use the wired switch.
Yes you can...that's what I did. One thing to note is that the light won't come on immediately like your current light fixture does. There's a second or two delay after you flip the switch. I'm planning on replacing the switch with a dimmer switch so maybe that will correct the delay.
