I want to love this little tool, but i have a couple of small issues with it. It is about the size of a credit card and if you have a fancy expensive case with any sort of graphic design on it. it is going to cover most of the back of the phone. especially if you have a smaller phone. secondly the position it folds up into makes it kind of odd to hold with your finger. your finger just does not naturally fall into that position on the back of the phone. well at least my finger. Those two things aside, it can be quite handy when you want a more secure and somewhat comfortable grip when using your phone. its hard to type on an iPhone with one hand, but i assume you swipers will not have the issues i have with it. i like using it as a kickstand more than using it to hold in one hand. having a kickstand on the back of your phone is sweet for viewing videos on the go. build quality feels sufficient, it should last you a while. the adhesive on the back is pretty strong and i would not recommend trying to remove it from your case after you install it. take care in choosing the placement before applying the adhesive to the back of your case. i would recommend this to a person who wants a kickstand and likes the thought of having a secure hold on your phone without having to resort to one of those other odd looking ones. i enjoy the sleek and modern design of it.

Great value

Right out of the box, these wireless earbuds are light weight and easy to sync up with the press of a button. They have a great sound with a decent bass pick up. Sometimes over the ear devices can become a bit bothersome, but these earbuds have a memory wire that goes behind the ear which makes for some easy adjustments that are comfortable. The box contains a few different pairs of ear tips which as well. The packaging claims to have an IP55 rating, which states that water projected by a nozzle against the enclosure from any direction shall have no harmful effect. while i did not run this product under a faucet, i did used a damp towel to rise them off after a workout and they still functioned great afterwards. The mic function when using the earbuds as a phone were great as well, the call sounded clear on both ends. Music sounds pleasant.
All in all, for the price point, these headphones are a great buy.

I've had the pleasure of using these headphones over the weekend, I put these headphones through its paces. Charged them straight out of the box, presentation is nice. Audio Technica provides you with a premium carry case. Im not sure if it is leather but it feels nice and soft. The inside of the bag is lined with a micro fiber type material to protect your headphones. You are also provided a micro usb charging cable and an aux cable that is about 3 feet long which also has a microphone and controls. Audio Technica claims 40 hours of battery life, I would say I've gotten at least 8 hours in over the weekend and the app claims battery level is at about 60%. It is safe to say that you could probably go a week or longer before needing to charge these headphones with frequent use. A word on the app by the way.. The app which is available to download in the iOS and Google Play store does not do much other than show you the battery % and what is playing on your device. I honestly intend on deleting the app as soon as possible. The app could use some refinement but it is not necessary to download for use.
Build quality of the headphones is excellent, it has a very strong band which flexes and does not creak lol. I dont see this headband breaking anytime soon. Earcup joints also look and feel strong and sturdy. I have a rather large head (7 3/4) hat size lol and these headphones fit perfectly without having to extend the band much. Earcups fit perfectly and comfortably over my ears. The pads on the cups feel very comfortable. Sitting through a movie with these on or an hour long music session is no problem. A small issue is that your ears will get a little warm with these on for extended periods. These headphones are closed back and have 45mm drivers they do a fairly decent job at blocking outside noise without the need for noise cancellation. It also (in my opinion) lets you feel the bass better. This is my first pair of Audio Technica headphones, I've always heard they these headphones are very "balanced" or "flat" I did not know what kind of sound to expect but now I understand why these are fan favorites. Music really does sound very balanced. Nothing seems to drown each other out, I can hear mids and highs very clearly even though the bass is thumping against my ears. Everything sounds nice and crisp even with bass. The box claims a frequency response of 15-28k HZ. That pretty much covers every sound frequency the human ear can hear. Fantastic honestly.
Volume controls on the ear cup are a little hard to press and find, and the google or siri activation button has to pressed and held for 2 seconds to work. This is actually a good thing because if you're the type that stretches and rests your arms near or behind your head you will not activate the controls easily. I like the sliding power on / off control. That is easy to find and quick to toggle.
All in All these headphones are very good for the money, they perform solidly and the comfort and build quality is a step above for this price point. I would recommend these to audiophiles, musicians, movie lovers or anyone that just wants a great pair of cans to use at home, in the studio or on the commute. One more thing.. I hooked up these headphones to my PS4 controller with the provided cable and I was able to use them to play my shooter games! They work great for gaming, They have stereo capabilities and you'll hear your enemies footsteps from the direction their coming at you. My buddies said my voice sounded clear and crisp with the inline mic. Perfect!

A small list of cons - Micro USB charge port and cable. ( old standard) They take a few hours to fully charge. I would suggest doing it overnight. and lastly the app isn't very useful, don't even bother downloading it.

Pulverizer!
on December 1, 2018
Posted by: Ponskippa
from San Antonio, TX
the Calphalon Power Sense blender is a beast. It has pulverized everything I have thrown at it with ease. I make protein based smoothies post workout and I've struggled with "thick" smoothies in other blenders. Ya know when the blender just stops spinning the mix because it is to slushy and thick? Well this beast blasts through peanut butter and protein powder without a hitch. I am on the keto diet and this blender has been great for making my cream cheese "fat bombs" I love the reverse function, no need to pop the lid off and loosen your slosh with a spoon! The reverse function will do the work for you. i think The auto sensing mode works best because honestly the high power spins way too fast. If you're going to be chopping thick veggies, fruits, ice cubes it'll be just fine. I have two minor issues with this blender. 1. If you use the highest power setting, you can literally smell the motor getting hot / burning a little lol. its crazy. 2. The blade is hard to unscrew from the bottom of the jar if you have large hands. My hands don't fit between the base and screw on bottom. I have to just use my fingers to grip it and turn it. Which makes it hard / a bit painful if you screw it on too tight. On the positive side, this blender feels very tough. The jar feels super sturdy, and the lid has a nice airtight seal. The blender also has a very classy sophisticated modern looking design and looks great on any kitchen counter. I love the blade / chopper design, it is quite simple to clean with a small brush. The controls and buttons on the blender are very intuitive and easy to use. I'd recommend this if you are looking for a powerful and easy to use / clean blender.

hey Google, you’re the coolest!
on November 3, 2018

from San Antonio, TX
Out of every tech gadget that google has released this year, the google home hub is honestly the coolest of the bunch. Possibly the coolest piece of tech in 2018. If you love and use every google service available, it is a must buy, I will definitely be buying another for the house. It makes the google assistant experience so much better. Being able to control your home is even easier with this. It integrates and works with all your existing google home products. There is so many things it can do, too many to list. As a matter of fact there isn’t one thing I haven’t been able to do with it. It plays YouTube videos, YouTube and google music, it streams movies from my play library , it will push media to your chromecast connected tv. It does it all, for such a great price. My favorite feature is using it as a digital photo frame. I have thousands of photos on my google photos library. Being able to see photos that I’d forgotten about and have them cycle through all day is so cool. I can’t say enough about the google home hub, it is jam packed with features and the possibilities are literally endless. I am sure google will continue to add more support and features. As far as build quality, it is very good. The speaker in it is loud and sounds good for its size. It has a propiatery power cable and needs to stay plugged in at all times, it would be even cooler if it had a battery so that it could be more portable, But it boots up quick enough that disconnecting it and moving it to the kitchen or living room or wherever you need it is not a big deal. The display seems low res, 720p at best but it looks great. Videos, movies, information all looks great. This will make a great Christmas gift for anyone of any age. It is so cool!

A Music Lovers Perspective
on October 25, 2018
Posted by: Ponskippa
from San Antonio, TX
So I want to begin by saying that I consider myself a musician. I play guitar, I've owned a marshall amp in the past. I love music, and listen to music for at least two hours a day. The Marshall Stanmore II looks and feels like a Marshall Guitar Amp, So this will be great for Marshall Amp lovers who want to accent their living room or bedroom with the Marshall brand and design for their music and AI assistant purposes. The materials used in the build for this speaker feel every bit like the materials used in Marshall amps, even down to the buttons and control knobs. I love that part of it. It would be so awesome if I could plug my guitar into this thing and use it as a practice amp. No can do.
The amp has a good number of connection options, you can plug in RCA cables, an aux cable, or stream wirelessly with Bluetooth or Wifi. You do need to download the Marshall Voice app on your phone to connect the speaker to your wireless network. Having the speaker always connected to Wifi allows it to use Alexa with your amazon account. If your a fan and user of amazon and alexa this is a great option for you. It has all the same functionality of Alexa found in Amazons echo and fire products. I do not like that there is no On/Off button or switch on this speaker. I assume it is because it is meant to be left on and connected to Wifi at all times so that you can use the Alexa voice assistant. Its not a huge deal, but for times when you aren't going to be home for an extended time, it would be great to be able to turn it off without having to unplug it. I only give this amp 4 stars and it is hard to recommend it to a friend because the sound quality is only just "good enough" but not great, especially for the asking price. That being said.. it's not bad, the sound and eq is fairly balanced. At low volumes, the speaker sounds fine. Overall tones are clean and balanced, bass is present without being too punchy or distorted. The issue is when you get to 7 and above on the volume knob. To my ears, the sound becomes a little harsh on the high end, Treble is harsh and the bass doesn't become any deeper. Everything just gets louder. The EQ knobs on the panel honestly do not do much to control the EQ. Bass sounds the same at 5 and 10. Same thing for the treble knob. Highs and Treble sound the same at 5 and 10. You're honestly better off using a software EQ within your music streaming app of choice. Maybe they can fix this with a firmware update through the Marshall Amp. Out of the box, the bass and treble controls are useless. The look, design, and Marshall name call for this speaker to be played at high volumes to entertain your guests at a party. I just can't recommend this speaker for that purpose. It doesn't sound great at its highest volumes. This is a niche speaker for loyal Marshall Amp lovers and owners. Alexa is great on here, but Alexa is great on every other speaker that has it. If you are expecting amazing sound quality or a party speaker, look elsewhere.

This TV is Smart!
on October 4, 2018
Posted by: Ponskippa
from San Antonio, TX
Nowadays many TV's in this price range are called "Smart" when in reality all they do is provide Wifi and a handful of apps so that you can stream online content. I'd call them connected Tv's. This Insignia Smart TV with HDR and Fire TV is the definition of Smart TV. It comes preinstalled with a lot of useful apps and there is a plethora of apps you can download and add to your TV. I say that this TV is Smart because of Alexa and Fire TV. You can control your TV by speaking into the microphone on the control. You can use it to search for content online, to switch between your HDMI ports, or to an installed application. There was only a couple of things Alexa couldn't do on the tv when prompted. I imagine that this TV will get updates with Fire TV to add even more possibilities. It really is pretty awesome to be able to control your TV using only your voice. No need to type out phrases using only a directional pad. Alexa and Fire TV are also quite snappy. The UI loads quickly between apps and inputs. Also the voice commands are heard accurately and only studder when you give it a command that it isnt programmed to do. I am very impressed with the function. Honestly, it is the quickest, smartest TV interface I have ever used.
Picture quality on the TV is great. 4k content streams smoothly and looks great at this price point. It also has pretty good viewing angles and I did not notice any light bleed on my unit. Blacks are nice and contrasty and colors are crisp and punchy. It does have a game mode which i tested with a Playstation 4. I can't find the specs for it anywhere, but I did not notice much input lag, if it is present it is minimal. I was able to play shooters and fighting games just fine. I'd recommend this TV to anyone looking for a smart TV that is 4k and HDR capable. I'd especially recommend this television if you are an Amazon customer and a Fan of Alexa and Fire TV.

I honestly only found two things that I did not like about this TV.
One being that the provided power cord is very short. My TV is only about 3 feet off the ground and the cord did not reach the power strip I have on the floor. I had to set my power strip ontop of my entertainment center so that the cable can reach it.
The other problem I have with the tv is that you have to go to the home screen, then select which input you want to adjust when adjusting picture profiles. Thankfully its not a setting you have to constantly adjust but it could be implemented better. That's it. There isn't much to complain about on this television. Go out and Get it, you'll be pleasantly surprised.

Awesome Rugged Outdoor Speaker
on September 18, 2018
Posted by: Ponskippa
from San Antonio, TX
This is the first rugged water resistant speaker i've ever actually had the guts to fully submerge in water. The box doesn't state how deep you can take it, but it does say that it can be submerged for up to 30 minutes. I let it take a plunge in about 3 feet of water and it floats! The sound is affected by the water obviously, it becomes muddy and the volume lowers when in water but most importantly it survived the dive and works fine after getting soaked. I wouldn't recommend charging it until it completely dries out just to be safe. The audio quality of the speaker is about as good as it gets for something small and portable. I really am amazed at how loud it gets and is water proof. It is kind of cool to watch the water literally shoot out of the speaker grill lol. Out of the box, I find that it doesn't have deep bass but if you connect it to the UE app on your phone or tablet, you can use different presets to get more bass and tweak the mids and treble. The app also helps you pair the speaker with other UE speakers and even lets your friends control the music with it. The app does have some pretty cool features. With some tweaking the speaker sounds pretty good even at high volumes. My only complaint with the speaker is that there seems to be a "dead zone" on the speaker. The whole can isn't one large speaker, It does seem to have a "360" sound but id say that only about 75-80% of the whole can projects audio. the bottom portion of the speaker does not produce sound. I assume its because the speaker is meant to be stood upright so in most situations you will not notice it. I only noticed it because i picked it up to put it on a stand that was above shoulder height. All in All, this is one of my favorite speakers I've used and I can recommend this to someone who likes to have a speaker while doing anything outdoors. Whether it be on your bike, while camping, swimming, or chilling at the beach. It is super rugged and I think will be able to tag along with you at just about any outdoor activity

Too many issues
on September 16, 2018
Posted by: Ponskippa
from San Antonio, TX
Ahh.. with a name like Epic Air True Wireless, I was expecting an Epic experience with these. Five minutes out of the box i had issues with them. First and foremost, the touch controls are way too sensitive. Simply adjusting the earbuds in my ears will trigger the touch controls and change the volume. I don't see a need for a touch sensitive volume control when you can adjust the volume with your device which leads me to the second issue I had with these earbuds. Adjusting the volume with my phone has a significant delay, when adjusting the volume with physical buttons on my phone it literally took a good 10 - 15 seconds for the change to take effect on the earbuds. Maybe it can be fixed with a firmware update, but it is awful and unacceptable. The 3rd issue I had with these earbuds, and it could just be my ears, but out of the 7 pairs of tips they provide for them, only 1 set fit my ears snugly enough to seal and isolate sound. All the rest fit way too loose. Sound is mediocre at best, there is almost no Bass, treble and mids are balanced and sound ok, but the lack of bass is disturbing and makes most music sound lifeless. The best things these earbuds have going are that they are wireless and the battery life is pretty good. The hooks are comfortable enough to wear for extended periods / while working out. I did like that the charging cable can be stowed with the charging case. Honestly though, I would take a pair of good sound wired earbuds over these. The finicky and sensitive touch controls are inconvenient and they frankly don't sound all that great. I wouldn't recommend these to anyone who expects great sounding earbuds at this price point.
Pros - Wireless
Battery life , easy convenient charging

Quite Possibly, The Best Headphones Available
on September 13, 2018
Posted by: Ponskippa
from San Antonio, TX
I'm going to start this review by outright calling these headphones, THE BEST. I honestly can't help but smile when listening to music with these headphones. I am hearing sounds in songs that I have NEVER heard before lol. Even in songs that i've listened to and sang along to countless times. They really are amazing. Every instrument, every sound effect, every whisper, every lyric, every beat just sounds so clear, and vibrant, and the BASS , it BUMPS just the right amount. I've listened to almost every genre with these on, country, hip hop, metal, mexican folk songs, classical, podcast interviews. you name it. These headphones are tuned so well and honestly sound great no matter what you listen to on them. I initially downloaded and loaded up the Sony Connect app on my devices thinking I would need to tweak the EQ to my liking. I played around with the different presets and the EQ manually and frankly these headphones sound great out of the box and don't really need much tweaking. Sony makes a hand full of presets available, mostly "effects" that give a surround / you're at a concert hall or club effect. I honestly don't care much for them, they're alright but you probably won't use them much. The app does have a function that will determine what activity you are doing based on location and adjust noise cancelling accordingly. I find the active noise cancelling to be perfect out of the box also. I have a window A/C unit in my bedroom that is always humming and interfering with my listening experience. These headphones completely block it out. It's awesome. I have not had the opportunity to test these on a flight yet, But I will definitely bring them along with me. The app also has a feature that adjusts your headphones settings according to atmospheric pressure. I can't wait to test the feature. If you're still reading, let me tell you a little about the the physical aspects of these headphones. Build quality is top notch, the band feels strong and is very comfortable. There are no plastic creaks when you stretch or fold them. The earcups are very soft and comfortable. I've worn them for hours on end without any sort of fatigue. My ears never started hurting or became uncomfortable. They are a little on the warm side, I would imagine they might make you sweat a little if you use them in a warm room / climate. Battery life is fantastic, I haven't had to charge them in 3 days. My phone says they are at 55% battery life, I would guess I've used them for at least 8 hours in the last 3 days. Sony provides a very nice carry case for them, also an aux cable, a very short usb c cable to charge them and an airplane headphone adapter. The swipe gesture controls on the right ear cup are a little too sensitive, i've triggered them by stretching my arms upward or leaning my head against my arm while laying in bed listening. They are welcomed though, it is very intuitive and easier than finding a button to press. On the left cup you have your power on / off button and anc button which also doubles as the google assistant button. Also a very convenient function, I use the google assistant daily and having this feature is a bonus for these already awesome headphones. Another great feature is If you cover the right ear cup with your palm, it lowers the volume and allows sound to come in so that you can hear whats going on around you or if someone is talking to you.You don't have to pause what you're doing or take off your headphones. If you are looking for a great set of noise cancelling headphones, look no further, Buy These , You won't regret it. They are amazing!

Cons - The Sony Connect App could use a little polishing. But honestly, the headphones are great without the app.

I would recommend this to a friend!

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.

Do you have to install an app to activate Noise Cancelling?
No you don’t. The noise cancelling feature turns on automatically when you pop them into year ears
