Budget Ballers

I’m going to be blunt and honest when I say that I wasn’t expecting a great experience with these wireless earbuds. They are aggressively priced. Build quality is good for their price. The charging case is made of strong plastic, they come with three sizes of ear tips and a micro usb charging cable. They state 24 hours of battery life. Sounds about right, Ive been using them for about 4 hours a day the last three days and I have yet to plug in the case for charging. They claim to have some water resistance - I’m not going to test it, but I imagine they should be able to handle some sweat and rain splash. Sound quality on these wireless earbuds is honestly very good. They are on the “low end” of the audio spectrum. Bass is heavy, mids are prominent but not muddy, Highs come through but on the lower end. They sound good to my ear drums. I listen to a lot of electronic and Rock / bass heavy music and it all sounds good through these. Skull Candy brought their A game for these, and I can say with 99.9% certainty that you will probably not find any truly wireless earbuds better sounding than these for a lower price. Would I recommend these? Most definitely. Especially if you are on a budget and want some earbuds that sound good.
Pros: Very Affordable
Very Good Sound Quality
Long Battery Life
Comfortable Fit
Buttons on both buds for track skipping and assistant activation

The Blue Pure 411 Auto air purifier takes a simple approach to smart air quality management with an integrated particle sensor, Auto mode setting, and LED air quality display. The ENERGY STAR certified air purifier delivers high performance with one-button control and customizable pre-filter colors in a lightweight, compact package. Independently evaluated and third-party tested for performance as part of the AHAM Verifide® Program for room air cleaners, this air purifier has a Clean Air Delivery Rate (CADR) of 132 for fine smoke particles, 96 for pollen particles, and 107 for dust particles. Recommended for small rooms like nurseries, guest bedrooms, and home offices with a 360° air intake to completely filters room air about every 12.5 minutes (approx. 4.8x an hour at 190 ft²) on the highest speed. The 3-step combination particle + carbon filter works with Blueair's HEPASilent™ filtration technology to remove 99.97% of airborne particles down to 0.1 microns, like pollen, pet dander, mold, bacteria, viruses⁰ and more, while an additional layer of activated coconut carbon traps light household odors. The one-touch enabled Auto mode is designed to help you maintain a comfortable and safe home environment. When enabled, the setting automatically adjusts to real-time conditions reported by the integrated particle sensor. Stay up to date on your air quality with the LED display; it changes color to indicate good, moderate, or poor.

Ive had the pleasure of using this air purifier in my bedroom for the last two weeks, and it's been pretty awesome. Here in central Texas we have mountain cedar season, and every year it messes me up bad. I haven't had my usual severe allergy reactions this year and I'm convinced that this air purifier might be the reason. I also noticed that my bedroom doesn't get as dusty as before. It was very easy to set up, I just screwed the top fan into the filter and voila. good to go. The purifier has several different settings, but I leave it on auto mode. It will kick on at higher speeds if it senses that your air quality is poorer. Even at its highest setting, it isn't very loud or bothersome. I haven't had to change the filter yet, but I know it will be easy to change. Its a quick easy twist, and remove the washable pre filter cloth cover. Filters are very affordable as is this purifier. I highly recommend it, especially if you suffer from allergies. This has helped me a lot. I breathe easier and my bedroom is noticeably less dusty.
Pros: Easy filter changes
Very quiet
Auto Mode that detects air quality

Phenomenal

Epson has created quite an amazing little projector with the Epson EF-12. It’s about the size of a lunchbox, and very light and portable. Overall Build Quality is very good, but I wish it had a lens cover. Be sure not to get your greasy fingers on it when you are carrying it. It’s easy enough to clean with a lens wipe though so no big deal. I have previously purchased and used Epson projectors in the past and this new laser technology is admittedly very very cool. You probably will never have to replace the bulb in this projector, just maintain the filter by brushing it or vacuuming it with a keyboard vacuum. The image this projector puts out is very beautiful. Colors are vibrant, and bright. Contrast ratio is excellent, blacks are nice and dark and whites are bright. It is certainly bright enough to use in a dim room, but works best in a dark theater setting. Get some black out curtains, you’ll thank yourself for it. I set mine up on a plain white wall and the picture is beautiful enough for me. Can it replace a TV? Definitely. It is great for a bedroom or small living room / theater room. The projector is very easy to set up, you can set it at almost any angle and it will automatically adjust vertical and horizontal keystone. I recommend you try to center it as much as possible though because there will be some white light “overspray” around the adjusted image. As most projectors, it works best when centered properly. But it is a very nice feature to have and certainly acceptable in usage. I played my Nintendo switch and google stadia with this projector and I did not really notice any input lag. It made for a pretty awesome gaming experience and I will definitely be using it for Mario kart and super smash brothers tournaments! :D
The built in Yamaha speakers sound excellent and are loud enough for watching movies or gaming with a small group of friends and family. Even at 75-90% volume, the speakers sounded nice and clear with a good amount of bass. I’m very happy with the sound quality of the built in speakers and plan on just using the built in speakers all the time.

My only complaints are that it is running and older version of android and there is currently no Netflix support for it. Can’t install the app or push it to the projector with the built in chromecast feature. You’ll have to side load the app or connect a separate smart device through hdmi for Netflix. But Epson can fix this with an update, and I hope they do. The other thing to mention Is that there isn’t any real picture adjustment settings. I think the default presets look good, but I have to mention it for those of you who like to calibrate your own picture profiles.
Would I recommend this projector? YES. I love it, I love it, I love it.
And the fact that it is so compact and portable, makes me appreciate it even more. Move it from your bedroom , to the living room or take it to your friends house. It is so easy to use and set up, and having built in Android and Chromecast is the best. I honestly look forward to coming home from work and watching shows or gaming with it.

The best camera is the one that's with you!
on November 12, 2020
Posted by: Ponskippa
from San Antonio, TX
This tiny, pocketable camera is pretty mind blowing. I started shooting photos with a 110 film camera when I was 6 years old. I have always loved trying and purchasing new photo and video cameras throughout the years. Taking photos, capturing video and just documenting life is probably my favorite hobby and one that is very important to me. Anywhoooo.. The DJI Pocket 2 blows my mind. I can't help but marvel at all the technology packed into something so small. Photo and video quality is very very good for its size.. I would say that it is totally usable and acceptable. The onboard microphones record audio very well and I am happy with the sound captured by them. Voices are recorded loud and clear, and the microphones did a good job of recording my voice even when driving down a downtown road with the windows down. You can choose between different video resolutions, I opted for 4k 60fps when outdoors and in great lighting. For dusk / indoor and less than ideal lighting, I would recommend dropping down to 30 frames per second. The camera is able to gather light better at lower frame rights. When shooting in good lighting, video quality is pretty sharp and colors are punchy yet pleasing. The camera doesn't over process your photos and videos. The best part about this camera is that the lens is stabilized by a 3 axis gimbal! You have to try really hard to make the video wobble! It handle every outdoor activity easily. Walking / vlogging, riding along on a cruise with my hand out the window lol. I let my little nephew run around with it in the back yard with it while he chased his younger brother playing tag and the video was super steady! I'm not an athlete or try any wild sports so I can't comment on how good it would be for extreme action videos, But everything I tried to do to make the video shake was handled nicely by the gimbal. It does have some smart features like FPV which i assume means first person view, Follow and Tilt lock. I never really mess with the tilt lock function. I assume that would be to keep the camera locked in one position. FPV follows your hand movements and makes for a pretty good first person point of view. Follow will lock onto a person, thing, or face and follow it around frame. It isn't very fast, so you have to help it along a bit with your hand by keeping the subject in frame. It works pretty good, But the lens is so wide, I don't think you really need it. Unless you want to place the camera on a tripod or leave it in a stationary position. Like I said, It isn't very fast, so it will lose the subject if they are running or moving fast but I think DJI could probably update the firmware and make it better later.
DJI includes a remote stick that you can use to control the gimbal, or use it to zoom in digitally toggle different settings. The part is interchangeable and DJI also includes a lightning (iPhone / iPad) adapter and a USB C adapter. I thought that was really cool. You can use the adapter to connect the camera to your phone or tablet and use the bigger screen as a viewfinder. The DJI app will also be able to transfer saved videos and photos to your mobile device when connected with it. Very Cool! I was able to transfer the videos I took to my iPhone and share instantly to social media and Youtube! You'll also get a carry case that the camera slides / locks into place into and a tripod mount. The only thing that doesn't come in the box is a micro SD card. I would recommend a 4k capable Micro SD card that records at 100mb or greater. The only negative thing I have to say about this camera is the battery. But considering its tiny size.. It is good. I started at 100% and after about 15 minutes of recording at 4k 60fps I was down to 80% If my math is right, I would assume you should be able to get about 75 minutes of video footage before the battery dies. The good thing though is that it charges via USB C and doesn't need a high voltage charger. You can plug it into an external battery pack while your on the go and give it a little boost along the way. Would I recommend this to a friend? well...that all depends on what your needs are. This is a niche product. I think vloggers would really appreciate this camera. The wide angle , great video and audio quality along with the ability to rotate the lens to face you then back to your point of view with the press of a button is awesome. I plan on carrying it with me everyday to document life and memories. I still prefer and love to capture memories with a camera over a phone and this little guy is packed with many helpful features to help capture them. I'm betting DJI might even be able to add do more cool things via the app and firmware updates.

Frustrating Pairing Process
on November 6, 2020
Posted by: Ponskippa
from San Antonio, TX
I've been using these earbuds for the past three days, and I really wanted to love them. The carry case is small and very pocketable.The buds are just the right size and sit comfortable in my ears. They have an elegant subtle matte black design and finish but oh man, I have had a lot of trouble keeping these paired to my iPhone. I read through the manual about 5 times, googled and searched through a couple of online manuals but I can't figure out the easiest way to pair these and keep them connected. I've owned many sets of wireless headphones so I would like to assume that it isn't user error on my behalf. I have to turn them off and on, put them back into the case and take them out multiple times before my phone finally connects to them. It's been frustrating trying to use these. They show up as a R and a L bud in your bluetooth settings which is strange. I guess you can pair one at a time if you only want to use one? When I finally manage to get them to connect to my phone, they sound just alright. The silicon tips create a nice seal and keep outside noises from leaking in well, Bass, Mids and Highs are all very balanced, they almost sound flat to my ears. It's not a bad thing, they allow for a pleasant listening experience. After I put them away back into their case for the evening and try to use them the next day... for some wild reason I have to go through the same frustrating process of reconnecting them to my iPhone again. I don't know if I ended up with a defective set, or if its a software issue / pairing bug with iPhones specifically. But I have never had this much trouble keeping a set of headphones connected to any smartphone. Yamaha usually makes excellent products, so I'm a bit disappointed with these earbuds. Would I recommend these to a friend? No, not at all.Three stars for the decent sound quality but it isn't good enough to make me recommend these to anyone. If others are having the same connection issues I have experienced then I recommend you save your money and stay away from these.
Pros: Elegant yet subtle matte design
Flat / Balanced EQ
Comfortable in the ears
Great battery life

I never leave home without it
on November 2, 2020
Posted by: Ponskippa
from San Antonio, TX
Let me start my review by saying I'm a guy who typically didn't wear a watch. After wearing this Fossil Smart watch for the last 5 days or so, I never leave home without it. My first impressions were that it is a beautiful watch and feels like a premium high quality watch. The face is large and beautiful. The included silicon band feels nice and comfortable. It is thick and feels like it will last me a long time. My only complain about the silicon band is that after a few days of use, I'm noticing some white grimy buildup on it, I'm guessing its my sweat? lol. Or maybe soap.. from washing my hands. But , it cleans fairly easily and quickly and since it is silicon, you don't have to worry about getting it wet. The watch is also water resistant. The watch charges magnetically with any adapter or usb port. I paired the watch with my iPhone 11 Pro Max. You'll have to download the Android Wear app for it and leave it running in the background. The watch mostly runs smoothly when paired to my iPhone although it seems to drop connection sometimes. I usually restart the watch, or have to go back into the bluetooth settings to reconnect it. I figure it disconnects when I leave my phone behind somewhere and walk away out of range. The watch display is very nice, colors are vibrant and it is just bright enough to be able to see outdoors when out in the sun. I thought it was really cool that you can customize the face with an app and switch them out as you please. There is many faces to choose from in the watch and you can download many others. It has a lot of cool features built in the software.. it will track and monitor your heart rate throughout the day, it pushes just about every notification from my phone. You can email make a phone call with the watch. It has a built in speaker but it isn't very loud. I don't plan on using it for phone calls but its a nice feature to have just in case. I haven't figured out how to push iMessage notifications to the watch, but it could just be a limitation on Apple's part. I didn't think I needed a smart watch, but I have to admit that it is nice to be able to take a quick glance at the watch for any notification, time or weather without having to pull my phone out of my pocket. I rely on email notifications to get work done and for important stuff, so its nice to be able to check who emailed me from the watch and choose to respond then or later. Battery life is excellent, I have it set to "daily mode" which i like to call the full on mode. It pushes notifications to you, checks your heart rate throughout the day, always on display etc etc and the battery makes it through the whole day. I'd say my watch is at about 15-20% when the day is over and it's time for me to start unwinding. It charges fairly quickly, I can usually take it off the charger before I go to bed and leave it off to have it ready for the next day. Would I recommend this watch? Yes! It is a premium watch with excellent software and high quality materials. I think its very cool and has been very helpful to me throughout the day. I have no complaints about using an Android based watch with my iPhone. It works seamlessly and doesn't drain my phones battery either.
Pros: Helpful notifications / fitness and heart rate tracker
Beautifully designed, premium build quality, easily interchangeable bands.
Android Wear- so it will work with any android phone or iPhone.

Compact travel size, impressive sound
on October 26, 2020
Posted by: Ponskippa
from San Antonio, TX
My first impressions of these headphones out of the box is that the ear cups are small. They are definitely smaller than most headphones on the market these days. They fit and rest comfortably on my ears though. Build quality is excellent. The headband is flexible yet strong and is wrapped in faux leather that looks and feels like soft leather.. The ear cups themselves are small and to me look like tiny marshal cabinets. :D
The padding is soft and squishy, very comfortable and do a great job of isolating sound and keeping music from leaking out ( except at max volumes ). They charge with a USB C cable which is included. They can also be charged wirelessly with the right ear cup. I've uploaded a picture of the ear cup sitting on my wireless charger. it works well, but you do have to balance them properly over the charger. I'm curious to see if they will magnetically attach to the new apple MagSafe charger later. They have a small nub joystick on the right cup that also acts as a power on / off and pairing button. It can activate Siri or Google Assistant and also control volume and skip, rewind and pause tracks. I personally really enjoy the joystick for controls because it prevents any accidental touches or swipes that are inevitable with touch controls.

Sound Quality : Impressive! Considering their small size and on ear fit.. they sound very good. I'd say they are well balanced although to my ears highs seem to come in at a slightly higher volume. Bass sounds good and doesn't drown out everything else. The Highs seem to come in louder than Mids , but I usually prefer music tuned that way. Music remains clear with a nice hint of bass. Mids are still noticeable without sounding muddy. I tested them with a variety of music genres and everything sounded great to me. For some reason the Marshall Bluetooth app on my iPhone could not recognize these headphones yet so I wasn't able to play with the EQ settings. Hopefully they will update the app later on. When using these headphones to watch videos , Movies and TV shows there was no noticeable audio lag to me. I enjoyed watching a couple shows and a movie with them. Voices are loud and clear while keeping the action and music well balanced. Battery life is excellent, after fully charging them out of the box.. I have used them for a few hours each day for the last three days and have not had to plug them back in yet. If you prefer on ear headphones over buds or over the ear headphones, then I think you will be happy with this headset. They have a beautiful classic design, sound quality is very good and battery life is excellent. The wireless charging feature is a nice touch although I still prefer to plug my devices in.

Very comfortable, acceptable sound quality
on October 17, 2020
Posted by: Ponskippa
from San Antonio, TX
First opinion out of the box, the headset is big, but lightweight and feels very sturdy. All the materials feel pretty premium for its price point. The plastics used feel strong, the headband flexes without making any cracking noises. The headband has a soft comfortable rubber/silicon feeling material that rests on your head. The ear pads are very soft and comfortable as well. I have a large head and these for me very good. They are adjustable and even fit my 7 year old nephew nicely. The mic boom is also made of flexible yet sturdy plastic and mutes when you move it back into the “up” position. My friends said my voice came through loud and crisp in party chat. The handband has a notch in it so that you can place them over your tv/monitor or any headphone stand when you’re not using it. I thought that was a pretty neat design. The build quality and design of this headset is its strong point. Where I feel this headset is lacking is its sound quality. Don’t get me wrong, they sound good, especially in its bass / low end. Most headsets at this price point have very artificial sounding bass. Gunshots and explosions sound good with this headset. Where I feel the sound quality is lacking is in the rest of the audio spectrum. Some frequencies get drowned out in game. When playing Resident Evil, zombies and them scary demon dogs kept sneaking up on me because I couldn’t hear them coming lol. I wouldn’t recommend this headset for very competitive gamers who want an advantage in shooters. Battery life is excellent and I love that it charges with a USB C cable. It’s today’s standard and every device made in 2020 and beyond should have it. Thank you Astro for including it. They are very comfortable for long gaming sessions and I think most people will find them pleasant and comfortable as well. Pairing is very simple, turn on the headset and then plug in the transmitter into the USB port. It worked seamlessly with both my Xbox One X and my gaming laptop. At the end of the day, I think this headset is a great value and worth the money. It’s excellent build quality and comfortable design and wireless compatibility make it worth your money. I think most people will be pleased with its comfort and sound quality. Perhaps with some tweaking in sound settings you’ll be able to find a good balance. I just wouldn’t recommend it to audiophiles or very competitive gamers.

This GE classic drip coffee maker has a classic design, made of stainless steel and comes with a glass carafe. It also includes a metal reusable coffee filter. You can always use paper cone filters with this machine but the included reusable filter is very easy to use and clean and the coffee tastes fantastic when filtered with it. The coffee machine is so easy to set up, I literally had it out of the box and brewing coffee within 5 minutes. The water tank is under the same lid as the coffee and is measured from Min to 12 cups. Fill it to your desired amount, pour your ground coffee into the filter, close the lid and press the brew button. Easy Peazy. No confusing settings or buttons to press. There is an Auto Brew button it is also very easy to setup and is great for when you need your coffee machine to start brewing coffee for you while you are getting ready for your day. When you press the Auto Brew button, you simply select the time you want it to start brewing. Leave water and coffee in the machine and it will automatically start brewing at the selected time. This coffee machine might seem a little pricey for its "simplicity" but it is designed and crafted with durable materials and seems like it will last me a very long time and be worth every penny. If all you need is a coffee maker to make classic drip coffee with no hassle then I think you will be very pleased with this coffee maker. No confusing settings or buttons to fiddle with, get great tasting coffee brewed within minutes.

Quick and Easy to cook with

this is the first Air Fryer I have ever owned and so far I am really enjoying it. The first thing I did with it was reheat some fried fish I had from earlier in the afternoon. I used the reheat preset and it warmed it back up nicely without leaving it soggy. It stayed nice and crispy without drying it up. The air fryer is a little small, so its best suited for cooking small meals or sides. I usually only cook for two people so its a perfect size for me. I was able to fit about 7 pieces of chicken tender strips in it and bake them in about 15 minutes. I was honestly surprised at how quickly it was able to bake the frozen chicken tenders. It definitely took less time than I would have spent with my oven. The presets on the touchscreen menu make it very easy to start up and use. This is going to be a game changer for me, and I can't wait to try cooking different foods and recipes with it. Clean up is very quick and easy also. You just pull out the tray and give it a scrub and since it is pretty compact, you can easily store it under a shelf in your kitchen when not in use. I think this air fryer is perfect for someone who needs to or wants to cook quick meals often. I'm usually pretty busy so it makes cooking at home pretty quick and convenient for me. I'll definitely be using it often

Blink video door bell does it detect you even if you don't press the door bell button? Or how it works to notify you? Would you receive alert notification if some one is at door just standing?
Yes, you can choose to have motion detection on and or just doorbell. They both work great. Motion detection is so good on it that it captured a video of my neighbors cat running by chasing a squirrel lol

i have a hard time with my airpods pro my ears are just so small and they always fall out. Will these work better? i just want something that won't fall out so much and use all-day
That’s hard to say, since Ive never had issues with AirPods or AirPods Pro falling out of my ear, but I can say that these are very comfortable. They come with three different sizes of rubber tips so you can find a fit that works for you. But I think the design of these are great and they shouldn’t fall out.
