Fast, and comfortably lightweight
on June 27, 2022
Posted by: Ponskippa
Ive been gaming with this mouse for about 3 days now and the first thing I want to mention is that this mouse is kind of light ( in weight). I prefer a heavier mouse, especially because I game with a laptop and I use my mice on different types of surfaces. So I need my mouse to be a little heavier so that it can make a solid contact with whatever surface I am using as a pad for the mouse. This is a personal preference, so you might love the fact that it is lightweight. But weight aside.. it is a pretty good mouse. It is comfortable to hold for long periods. My pinky ( small finger) does become fatigued after a an hour or two though because I don't really have anywhere to rest it on the mouse. The mouse is symmetrical, so my pinky kinda just gets left hanging lol. I have fairly large hands though, so again.. your use may vary. the side button placement is perfect, my thumb easily reaches both buttons. Both the left and right clickers are very nice and responsive. They have a quiet and satisfyingly tactile click to them. The scrolling wheel is also comfortable to scroll with. It also has a tactile feel when scrolling and a nice rubber grip that you can kind of feel clicking as you scroll. The scroll wheel can also be programmed as a button when you push down on it. It has a dpi control button underneath the scroll wheel which is quite convenient. No need to dig into a menu to change the DPI of your mouse. You can click through about 5 different settings with it.Being able to change the DPI on the fly is really convenient. Especially when switching from game to game or back to casual use for productivity and general browsing. The RGB lighting, although unnecessary is kind of cool to look at on a desk. It creates a subtle and pleasing ambient light. I do game with my bedroom light off at night, and it is cool to have the extra mood enhancing light coming from the mouse. I just let the lights cycle through its different colors. Its my favorite light setting for it. As far as gaming with it, It isn't perfect but it gets the job done. I love that it is wireless, and very responsive. I was able to game on Google Stadia, and my Steam and Epic games library with no issues. I play mostly third person and first person shooters and hack and slash games. And this mouse is nice and smooth when gaming. Make sure you use the included dongle for the best wireless connection. You can connect it via bluetooth, but I think you'll have a slight lag with the bluetooth connection. It isn't bad, but if you plan on gaming competitively, then you'll want that 2.4ghz connection! Would I recommend this mouse? Yeah, especially if you want a comfortable and responsive wireless gaming mouse with that cool RGB lighting to complete your desktop or laptop setup. I think all in all, it is a very good value and you'll be pleased with it.

Fantastic sound and premium comfort
on June 15, 2022
Posted by: Ponskippa
I’ve been using the Corsair HS65 gaming headset for the last 5 days and they’ve been very comfortable and sound great. They get pretty loud and voices come through very loud and clear. I find myself having to adjust the voice chat volume sometimes because one of my friends is very loud. I use them connected straight to a headphone Jack about 90% of the time because they sound fine in stereo mode. It comes with a usb dongle that (in my experience) only works on windows PC’s for surround sound. I tried adapting it to my MacBook and MacOS didn’t recognize it. With a windows PC it is plug and play and will work with Corsair software so you can have and tweak surround sound settings. But honestly, they sound great even in the old fashioned stereo mode when connected with the headphone input. Directional sound still works pretty good. Especially if you have your games set up for stereo and directional audio. Bass on this headset isn’t overwhelming but explosions and gunfire still sound exciting. NPC voices also come through nice and clear. This headset is so well tuned that it sounds like you have a whole speaker setup in the cans. Bass, mids, trebles, vocals all sound very loud and clear. When I game, I usually sit for about 3 to 4 hours at a time. This headset is so comfortable that even after my long gaming sessions, my ears never fatigued or hurt. They are one of the most comfortable gaming headsets I have ever used. Microphone quality is also excellent, my friends all said I sounded loud and clear. I love the flip up to mute function. Makes muting your microphone quick and convenient. The included usb dongle makes plugging into a PC usb quick and easy. I personally don’t like to run an additional audio software in the background because I just want to jump right into a game and go but the feature is a nice bonus and will improve your sound experience. Would I recommend this headset? Yes, most definitely. It is compatible with every game console you may own, as well as PC. They sound fantastic and are comfortable for long gaming sessions. The audio and microphone quality is so good on these that I would even recommend these for those who want to podcast or livestream on a budget.

Fantastic sound out of this compact bar!
on June 3, 2022
Posted by: Ponskippa
Alright, I am going to start by mentioning that I literally said WHOA when sound started coming out of this little sound bar. I started with a song by the rock band Tool. They're my favorite. Im very picky about sound quality of speakers and headphones. Right off the bat, I will say that I am very pleased with the sound quality of this soundbar for my music listening. The bass is perfect even though it doesn't come with a subwoofer. I wasn't expecting much bass because I can't see any holes for air to come out of for bass. I believe its called a bass reflex system. Anyway.. it still packs a punch. It thumps just enough to make music sound great. And for movies? The bass is there for all the explosions and sounds that require it without drowning out the actors voices. I only have two minor complaints about this soundbar. 1. I don't feel like it provides a proper surround sound effect. You'll need to add another speaker or subwoofer to the bar to get true surround sound. 2. The only way to "hard wire" this sound bar is with the included optical audio cable. It does not have a 3.5mm audio input. So be sure that your tv, projector or game console has an optical audio output because you will have no other way to connect it with a wire. Also, its worth noting that it does not come with a remote, and the touch controls on the top only have volume control and mute / pause function. They work, but I probably will never use them. You'll be using your smartphone to control the volume and everything else. You can tune the bass and treble with the smartphone app also. It is honestly a breeze to use, and I have no complaints about it. The app guides you every step of the way and you don't have to be a techy to figure it out. I do like the features in the app. It has a voice enhancer option which works really well for movies, it makes voices come through nice and clear without sacrificing volume on your movies and shows. It also has a "night mode" which will lower the volume of loud scenes and music in while your watching TV. Perfect for those late night movies just before bed. I would say this soundbar is perfect for anyone living in a small space, or even an apartment. You won't have your neighbors complaining about loud bass or noise while you watch your movies. The sound out of this speaker is so good, you won't have to put it very loud to get an amazing sound experience while watching your movies and listening to music. It sounds excellent and pretty loud even at 25-40% of the volume. I plan on hooking mine up to my projector in my entertainment room and setting it behind the couch for movies and gaming. ^_^ It will fit perfectly underneath my projector on its shelf.
Would I recommend this soundbar? Most definitely! Especially if you are limited on space. It is small enough to place under even a gaming monitor on your desktop and packs a serious punch! The price is right for all the features and the sound quality is very impressive. I especially recommend this to gamers for their bedroom or game room. People who live in an apartment, and anyone who wants a great sounding compact soundbar without having to spend an arm and a leg.

Stylish / Rugged Build quality, very good sound
on May 22, 2022
Posted by: Ponskippa
I’ve been using these earbuds for the past 4 days and I can honestly say that I am pleasantly surprised with these Adidas noise cancelling ear buds. They come wrapped in a nice soft tissue paper inside the box. The charging pod has an excellent grippy matte black texturized feel. It looks and feels like it will resist scratches and pocket lint for a while. It is rugged and I don’t see the need to put them into a carry case. It is charged by an included usb C cable. Battery life is excellent. I’ve only had to charge them once since I took them out of the box. The pod will charge the earbuds when you stow them. Sound quality is very good, better than I was expecting. Bass is punchy without drowning out highs and mids. I listen to a very wide variety of music and everything sounds good. I did have to use the largest rubber tips that came in the box to completely seal my ear canals and provide better sound isolation and punchier bass. Your use may vary but if you find the bass lacking and some outside noise coming in, I would suggest swapping the tips to the ones that seal your ear canals snuggly. Overall build quality is excellent. They are sweat / water resistant. I wouldn’t jump into a swimming pool with them on, but you don’t have to worry about sweating on them or using them in the rain. The active noise cancelling is great. Not the best I’ve tried but it is good enough to block out most ambient noise. I have a loud window A/C unit and I can’t hear it while I’m listening to music even at lower volumes. I can hear it when the music stops but it isn’t too loud. I do appreciate that the noise cancelling doesn’t make my ears feel full, like they need to pop. I don’t like to talk on the phone with earbuds that have noise cancelling because I feel like I am shouting, so I won’t comment much on microphone / call quality. Would I recommend these to a friend? If you’re willing to try a brand other than the usual big names in headphones, I think you’ll be just as pleased and surprised as I have been with these. These are great for the gym, they sound great, stylish and are comfortable for long sessions and feel like they will survive a beating.

Very good sound quality
Decent Active noise cancellation

Easy to use, powerful water flosser
on May 7, 2022
Posted by: Ponskippa
from San Antonio , Tx
This water flosser has been pretty easy to use, it is very powerful. Almost too powerful, at least for my gums. You can choose three different speed and power settings. There is full power / steady stream. A softer steady stream, and a burst. I found the burst mode to be the most ideal speed and power setting for me. Maybe I have bad gums, but it made mine bleed a little bit the first two nights that I used it. Not sure if it is a bad thing, but I'm going to keep using it at the softer burst setting for a week or so and see if the bleeding continues.I use traditional floss and I typically don't make my gums bleed with it. This thing is so powerful, the water literally sprays everywhere if you use it with your mouth open lol. You'll have to keep your mouth closed and feel around your gum lines with the pik. Anywho, this water flosser only has 1 button. You press and hold it to change the settings, the icons will light up to let you know what setting it is on. The water tank is easily accessible. Fill it with warm water as you use it. It comes with a charging cable. I haven't had to charge it since the first full charge yet. Would I recommend it? If you are experienced and enjoy using water flossers. Then yes, I think you would like this.

Good sound, excellent build quality but small
on May 5, 2022
Posted by: Ponskippa
from San Antonio, Texas
I’ve been gaming with this headset for the past week or so and I’m pretty pleased with them. My main complaint about them is that they are small. I have a big head though, so your usage may vary. To me, these are more suited for teens and kids. Don’t get me wrong, they fit my size 7 and 3/4 skull, but the cups are small, the band is small, and the mic boom is made of rugged and flexible plastic. I would gladly purchase these for young kids looking to game online with their friends. Sound quality is pretty decent. They are pretty loud but sound flat-ish. Bass, mids, highs, are all pretty flat. None scream over the other. I find myself having to turn down the game music and sound because voice chat easily gets drowned out with these. This headset is pretty comfortable though. I’ll give them that. Even though they are smaller than other headsets I’ve used. The cups sit comfortably on my ears and the headband rests on my skull nicely. Microphone quality is good, my friend says my voice comes in loud and clear. Would I recommend these? For sure, especially if you don’t want to spend a whole lot or cash for a great headset. I’d say they are a great bang for your buck, and if you want them for your kids, I’m am certain that they will take a beating and last a while. They are very well built. Your kids will enjoy them.

Decent hearing protection, voice amplifying mic
on February 3, 2022
Posted by: Ponskippa
from Texas
I’ll start by saying that I work in an area where noise easily can reach 100db. I found that the included foam earplugs provide just enough noise reduction to make them dependable for hearing protection around loud engines. I opted for the standard fit that are already on. It comes with a smaller and bigger foam plugs for you to try. They were surprisingly comfortable and I did not have to fiddle with them too much to get them into my ears. However I did feel like the control modules are a little too big. Your usage may vary but the cable isn’t the longest and I could feel the controls rubbing against my next neck when I turned my head in either direction. The cable itself is braided and did not irritate my skin when wearing for long periods. One on side you have the on / off button and volume control. On the other side you have the on off switch for the built in mic and volume control. I thought it was a neat feature. I’m not allowed to listen to music while I’m working but having a separate on off switch for the mic is cool. When someone came to talk to me, I flip on the switch and it will amplify the persons voice so you can hear them clearly without needing to remove the earplugs. I was able to hear my coworker asking for something clearly from about 30 feet away even though there was some loud noise going on. I didn’t like the way the ambient voice / sound microphone sounds while music is playing so I pause the music or just completely turn it off when I plan on using them for the voice / mic feature. Sound quality is better than I expected out of these.they won’t blow your mind away but I would say that they are good enough for casual music listening. I tend to listen to podcasts on my downtime and these are good enough. They sound a little on the flat side of the EQ spectrum. Not much bass, and just enough treble to balance the mids. But if you’re more concerned with hearing protection, then this is a good thing. After all, you don’t want to drown out everything completely if you plan on using these for safety purposes. All in all, I think they are a decent value, if you are looking for decent hearing protection and the ability to listen to audio and ambient voices / sounds. If you plan on using these at work, check with your employer before hand. I know some places won’t allow them because of the Bluetooth feature.

Comfortable, great sound & active noise cancelling
on January 29, 2022
Posted by: Ponskippa
from San Antonio, TX
How Often Used:3-5 times a week
I've been using the Jabra Elite 4 earbuds for the last 4 days and I have really been enjoying them. They were pretty easy to set up and connect to my iPhone. I highly recommend that you download the Jabra app for it. It will allow you to update the firmware (The earbuds have updated twice in the last week). You can also adjust how strong the active noise cancelling is with the app, and adjust the EQ to your liking. So far the Neutral and Energize presets are my favorite. "Neutral" sounds pretty balanced and "Energize" has deeper bass while raising highs also so that the bass doesn't drown out trebles and highs. I really like that setting for Electronic, Metal and Rock music. These earbuds have become my gym buddies. I usually workout for about 2 hours when I go to the gym and battery life lasts the whole workout, and the noise cancelling is a great feature to have for the gym. It helps keep out the loud sounds you always hear in a gym. And if you want to lower or turn off the noise cancelling so that you can hear your surroundings, you can! Jabra says that these earbuds are dust and water / sweat resistant. I have not tried using them out in the rain, or dunking them in water ( I would not advise you try that) But they surely have not been damaged by my sweat. I have medium length hair currently and my sweat does drip down to my ears currently. The earbuds are very comfortable for extended periods and the standard rubber tips fit my ears perfect. They come with 2 extra sets of rubber tips. A size smaller and a size larger. I don't know if I would call myself an audiophile but I am definitely a bit of an earbud / headphone junky. I love buying and trying out new earbuds and headphones often. That being said.. I would say that the sound quality of the Jabra Elite 4 exceeded my expectations. They have a nice warm and punchy tone. Bass sounds good and thumps just enough to get your adrenaline going. Mids and Highs are well tuned out of the box. And if you don't like the out of the box sound, you can easily adjust the EQ to your preference with the mobile App. I listen to everything from Spanish rock, to classical and metal, and these earbuds can handle it all nicely. Battery life on the earbuds and charging case is excellent, they will definitely get you through at least 2 maybe even 3 days of heavy use before needing to charge the case. If you're just a casual user, you'll probably be able to go a week without charging the case. Would I recommend these? For sure. The case is very nice and compact, the earbuds are very comfortable in my ears and sound quality and active noise cancelling are quite good.

simple and lightweight protection
on December 4, 2021
Posted by: Ponskippa
from San Antonio, TX
I normally don't like to have virus protection installed on my computers because in the past they were very resource heavy and would slow down my browsing experience. Virus protection has come a long way and Webroot Security for Chromebook is an excellent example of it. It was very easy to download and install from the google play store. You install the app and just put in your email and key. It starts up along with chrome OS when you boot up and has not slowed down my chromebook boot up or browsing experience. It is so lightweight and un-intrusive that i sometimes forget that it is even running in the background at all times. I have a macbook and a chrome book, and I let my family and kiddos use my chromebook when they want to browse the web or watch some online videos. I trust Webroot Security to keep my chromebook free of virus or malware. One thing that I really like about it is that it has a built in web browser, if you want to take an extra measure to keep your chromebook secure. That is pretty awesome. Sometimes the kiddos or grandparents will click a sketchy advertisement or web link , So its nice to have the built in web browser for added security! All in All, I would recommend Webroot to you if you share your chromebook with younger family members, or even the elders! We all know they are prone to accidentally stumble onto sketchy untrustworthy webpages.
Pros : Easy to install
Lightweight- doesn't slow down Chrome OS
Always runs in the background
Built in Web browser
One simple pre paid price!

great backup battery
on November 27, 2021
Posted by: Ponskippa
from San Antonio, TX
this is the second 20K MAH portable battery I own from anker, and this new one is just as good, if not a little better. It has two full size USB ports and a usb c with PD ( Power Delivery) capability. I mainly use it to charge my iPhone and Mirrorless cameras while I'm at work or on the road, but it puts out enough power to charge my iPad Pro, Nintendo Switch also. It would have been really cool if it could juice my MacBook Pro also, but it can't. My MacBook recognizes that it is plugged into a power source, but it says not charging. Anywho! This power bank is nice and slim, Its a little longer than my iPhone 13 Pro, and I would say about 2x as thick as my phone. it doesn't weigh a whole lot, so it is quite portable. I throw it in my book bag and go. I can usually charge my phone fully about 4 times before I need to plug the battery back in to recharge. Even then, it isn't fully depleted but I don't let it drain completely dry. I like to charge it up, just in case I need to charge something else or lend it to a friend or family so they can charge their phone. It comes with a small carry bag and USB C cable, which you can use to charge your devices and charge the battery. One thing to note is that it does not have a magnet like the page claims, don't know if it is a listing error or my unit just doesn't have it. Either way, I don't think its a deal breaker, since I prefer to charge my devices with a wire. It's still the best way to charge a device. The battery does have a "trickle charging" feature, for low power consumption devices. I honestly haven't used the feature much, since I would like to charge my devices up as quick as possible so that I can go back to using it. Would I recommend it to a friend? Yes. Especially if you are like me and own many rechargeable devices and take them with you. It is a great back up charge for just about anything, and it packs a lot of power. Even if you don't use it often to charge your phone, It will hold its charge for weeks or even months at a time for you. Last winter , as you all may know... we had a big power outage here in Texas and this type of Anker battery pack saved the day for me. I was able to charge my phone everyday for 4 days while the power was out with it. I definitely think every home should have at least 2 of these charged and ready.

What speakers go well with this??
If you want to keep things "portable" I would recommend using any portable speaker with an AUX input. most bluetooth speakers come with an AUX input. Get a 3.5mm aux cable and plug it into your speaker of choice!

Can you record on cassette tapes when playing from Bluetooth.
yes, But i believe it records with the built in microphone. So don't expect the best sound quality and it might pick up ambient sounds in the room during the recording.

Experience immersive Dolby Atmos sound through a single device with this Sony sound bar. It connects to your TV wirelessly or with an HDMI cable, and it pairs with Bluetooth devices for audio streaming. This Sony sound bar includes the Vertical Sound Engine, which eliminates the need for ceiling-mounted speakers.
I have this soundbar connected to the Sony 75 X850E TV using the HDMI ARC connection. There is a slight audio lag using the soundbar (occurs with HDMI or optical). The delay is small but definitely there, so this causes lip sync issues. Any suggestions?
you can try to adjust it by pressing the option button, then TV or HDMI (according to whichever you are experiencing lag) then press the up or down button press the center button to adjust. It can be difficult to get it perfect. I've tried myself and I just got it as close as I could

I recently purchased the HT-X9000F along with a 2018 TCL Series 6 TV. While it sounds great, is there any way to have its menu appear on my TCL 6 series? It's hard to know which mode I'm in or cycle through the settings without having them show up.
You have to connect the soundbar with an HDMI cable for the menu to appear on screen on your input of choice. If you have it connected with an optical cable it won't work. Also, you need to have it connected with HDMI as it is the only way to enable dolby atoms on supported titles.

I've got my Soundbar hooked up to my TCL 6 Series via HDMI to HDMI ARC, however, when I press the "Home" button on my Sony remote. It just mutes the sound and no menu comes up. Please help! Thanks.
maybe try resetting the sound bar? the manual shows you how to reset the system.
