Excellent quality and fully customizable!

Great quality, they feel premium on my hand, and I love the customization features!
I was able to swap the analog sticks, and set it up as an Xbox controller layout (offset), as I feel that is the best! (see my pics). I was worried on doing this I would have to remap the analog sticks and the D-pad, however the controller recognizes which is which and automatically mapped it all!
You must download Astro's software for the controller, as it allows you to update the firmware (plug the controller first, update the firmware, then unplug the controller, and plug only the wireless dongle, there is a firmware update for it too!)
Afterward you can configure each button, you can also choose the sensitivity of each, LED brightness, sound (yes, it also has a speaker as on the original Ps4 controller and has a jack to plug in headphones too).
Best controller hands on I have had. Only caveat on the PC is I can't seem to find a way to monitor my battery levels. The software doesn't tell you on the PC. Don't know if it does on the PS4, I will try that next.
I highly recommend it and it comes with a great and sturdy carrying case!!

Great quality and sound, PC USERS, FOLLOW MY TIPS!

Great headset, the build quality is superb and they produce great and clear sound. Voice over mic is clear too! Install was easy on my PC. Plug the mixamp via USB, then the headset to it. It was recognized. Then, download the Astro command center FROM THE WINDOWS APP STORE (not the one from Astro's website, or you will have problems). There was a firmware update, and the I was ready to go. It comes with 4 equalizer presets, which one can modify. The volume and chat balance dials feel sturdy and made with great quality, I'm loving this setup and its helping me improve my sound positioning in Rainbow six Siege, which is vital!
They were a little bit stiff out of the box, but after a 30 min gaming session, they became way comfier and no problems with my glasses.
The sound quality and the surround sound is superb, as long as you follow my tips bellow, for PC users.
@@@PC USERS TIPS@@@
1-Download the Astro command center from the WINDOWS APP STORE, not from Astro's web, only the Windows app store version works ok with this gen 4 device.
2- The included Dolby audio surround on the Mixamp is only for the PS 4 (or if you output dolby digital live from your PC's sound card, in short, its only for when the mixamp is receiving audio via optical port), don't use it if you have the MIXAMP via USB!, how to bellow.
3- In order to correctly get surround sound on a PC via a USB connection, you must set the MIXAMP TO PASSTHROUGH MODE, THAT IS THE STAR ON THE FIRST BUTTON TO THE TOP.
Then:
Then:
Head to the Windows Settings > System > Sound > Sound Control Panel on the right hand side.
Under the playback devices, right click on the ASTRO MixAmp Pro Game and select Properties.
Select Spatial Sound. Change the Spatial Sound Format to either Windows Sonic for Headphones or Dolby Atmos for Headphones and enable the turn on 7.1 virtual surround sound.
This is straight from the horses mouth, Astro. Unfortunately they failed to put this on their manual, but their reddit community is very active and I got this directly from an Astro rep. This is how they recommend it to be plugged in a PC via USB, otherwise if you enable the dolby audio on the mixamp all you will get is reverberation and echo but not truly positional surround sound.
Also, if they wanted the above, they should have included a code for the Dolby Atmos purchase on windows, but its not that expensive, $15, but for the price of the headset, I feel a free code should have been included.
I hope this helps PC users, if you follow the above, you will get great surround quality sound!
PS4 users, can use the included Dolby on the mixamp, as it works fine with dolby via optical.

Watch TV with theater-style sound or enjoy high-quality music with this 3.1-channel Definitive Technology soundbar. It's only 1.75 inches thick so it blends discreetly into your home environment, and the 8-inch wireless subwoofer adds tight bass to extend the system's audio frequency range. This Definitive Technology sound bar includes Chromecast for streaming music or video over Wi-Fi.

My biggest gripe with flat tv's is their puny sound and poor voice clarity. With this soundbar, all that is gone! I can finally hear all dialogues clearly and without the need of activating subtitles! Setup was easy, plugin the sound bar to power, connect HDMI cable, preferably to the ARC hdmi input on the tv (to be able to return audio) then connect the wireless subwoofer. The google home app is required to setup the system and its easy and upgrades the bar's software too. After that, via HDMI CEC, I can control the bar just with my TV's remote. The included remote has some extra controls, like music and movie preset. You can also tune the bass, from the box its not that much and the bar focuses more on the clarity of the dialogue, but you can tune the bass to your liking (by the way, the wireless subwoofer pairs itself to the system, so I didn't need to do anything).
I highly recommend this bar for anyone that likes great sound (the simulated surround is ok, as its a 3.1 system), but the dialogue clarity is superb!!

Upgrade compatible PC systems with the WD_Black SN750 internal SSD. Read speeds of up to 3,470MB/s offer improved load times, while the M.2 form factor means you can directly plug into the motherboard without extra cabling. Compared to typical 2.5-inch SSDs, this WD_Black SSD fits double the storage density on a single-sided drive, making it suitable for portable builds.

Great NVME drive, its actually as fast as advertised. I ran a Crystal disk benchmark and you can see the pics. I actually bought a heatsink for it since I have an SLI setup and the drive is under both video cards, it would have cooked there, and when NVME drives are hot, they throttle down. Western digital also sells a version with a heat sink if you need it.
Western digital has an app where you can upgrade firmware, monitor the drive's health and enable "gaming mode" which turns off any power savings for maximum performance (I found I didn't need to, as the drive is already super fast!.

Make copies of important data with this Seagate Backup Plus portable drive. The Type-C connector supports USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 for compatibility with old devices and prompt data transfer. This plug-and-play Seagate Backup Plus portable drive stores up to 1TB of data and has 256-AES hardware encryption to secure valuable files against unauthorized access.

Drive is sleek and small. Around a 2.5" laptop drive. Has a fabric texture. It comes with a free and easy backup solution from Seagate. You can select to make continuous backups, scheduled ones or a mirror drive if you wish. It also has a couple of free apps (Mylo and one from Adobe), to organize photos. The included cable was super short, so it seems this drive is more geared towards laptop users as the drive can be just plug next to the laptop. Oh, and its a mechanical drive (no ssd). Its very quit and I can barely hear it spinning. I highly recommend it as a you never know when one will need a backup!

Its a great and strong signal booster, worth the work to install it. I had to get help from a family member to get it installed on my small car. I mean, you can install it quick, but if you want everything neatly (like under weather stripping and hiding cables) you may need help and/or hire one of those stereo installing places to install it. It wasn't too bad between me and my cousin.
You place the main unit inside your car, hiding it from sight, I put mine under the passengers seat, and the small unobtrusive antennas outside (this one has a very strong magnet, however remember to tuck it in when going to a car wash!!) and inside. Then you root the cables accordingly, I hid them under the car's door and windows weather stripping. Then connect both and then the main unit to the cigarrette lighter plug for power (I guess one could rig a permanent wire to a fuse I guess to further hide it, my cousin suggested that but we didn't, just an idea). Once powered it should get a green light showing its working ok. Please, remember, you must register this booster with your cell phone carrier!!! Mine made me download a form and fill out and sent to them, I still have not heard back from them, but that's what they required, yours may vary, ask them!!
It works great, I mainly had a huge problem at my job (which is in the middle of a large golf course, and lakes) where I could not get any data. I mean, I had bars, and could call and text but anything data related like browsing web, emails, videos etc nada! With this booster now and I can use data at great speeds at my job! I highly recommend it for any one having spotty connections and signal!

Great speaker, specially for summer parties!

Great speaker, has good bass and I like that it has water resistance (even salt water, although I haven't tested that). So its a great speaker to have a round pool parties or to take to the beach (just make sure are ports flaps are closed!). I like that it can be daisy chained with more of these speakers, to increase the sound! It has some flashing lights, there is an app too, to control this; if that's your thing it can light up your party haha, not my thing though. The battery lasts long, it says may last up to 24 hours but I have not used it that long. I used it for a couple of days and it was still going strong, oh, and I topped off my phone too with it (can charge any usb phone) and still was going strong.

Polished, professional Full HD video calls. The C920S HD Webcam delivers remarkably crisp, clear and detailed images in vibrant colors. HD autofocus and light correction adjust to provide consistently high definition, and the dual mics on either side of the lens capture natural sound. The privacy shutter puts you in control of what you show.

Great camera, its small and unobtrusive. I have it on top of my Predator X34 monitor which doesn't have a thick bezel and this camera sits on top just fine. It comes with a privacy shutter, which is good (it will lit a blue light if its on anyways, letting you know if its working). No software is included, so you must go to Logitech's c920 website and you can get it there (there is a settings one and a capture one, pretty basic).
Video and audio quality is fine, but don't expect UHD quality, this is a 1080p cam. It's great for video calls (skype) and streaming too! One thing disappointing at is this camera doesn't support windows Hello (signing into windows 10 via facial recognition), for that you must get Logitech's 4K one. This one has auto focus and light correction, which did work great on my poorly lit room!

I really like this headset/amp combo. You can connect it to a PS4 or a PC. I currently have it with my PS4 Pro. It comes with decent length optical, usb and headset cables. I seat about 7 feet from my PS4 and I still have cable slack. Some people may prefer a wireless solution, but having cables you have a pure digital connection. No wireless hiss or interference. The sound is outstanding and the surround sound is effective, as it gets it from the optical digital output from the PS4, you have to select dolby digital bitstream.
The headset can be connected to your phone via their app. There you can tune the headset to your preference. Has many presets and you can customize them, oh, and it allows you to get calls and media from your phone directly to the headset via Bluetooth!! No more taking the headset off for calls! The app may alert you of a new firmware update, which I recommend keep up to date, oh and it can only be updated on a PC with their windows app. Just make sure you plug it in while holding the Bluetooth pairing button for it to update it.
The surround sound is great and doesn't sound fake (at least with their signature sound profile). I can pin point sounds spatially and doesn't sound like a reverberating theater. I tried their super human hearing, supposedly helps you pin point steps and gun shots better, but I found it was too fake. The regular surround just worked great.
They were very comfy and have a special grove for glasses wearing people, great!
One tip and one caveat:
Make sure you push hard all the way in the mic! I thought it was in but wasn't getting any voice picked up, I had to push it all the way in hard!
Only caveat is I wish the amp had more functions, rather than just volume. Like their tactical amp they have. Maybe add more controls on it like treble, bass, chat mix etc. All has to be done via their phone app. Apart from that, the only other control is mic mute via a switch on the headset cable. Also, you will get sound from the PS4 to your tv, at the same time to you headset. This is not the headsets fault, as the PS4 is designed to output sound from any cables available (the hdmi going to your tv). It can be solved by muting the tv (if there isn't a persistent mute icon, or as in my case, lowering the volume on the tv all the way down). Other than this, its a great headset!!

Great printer, cheap ink tons of it! Some tips.
on March 20, 2019
Posted by: JamexRZ
from Salt Lake City, UT
Great printer. It takes away the expensive out of printer ink. Instead of replacing cartridges all the time (which are more expensive) you just buy ink bottles and fill up the tanks in the printer, and the prices of the ink bottles are way cheaper!
The print quality and speed is great. I printed around 50 pages last night and I thought it may have gone down, but after looking at the tanks (are see through) it barely used any ink! I'm loving it!
Now some pros and cons:
Pros:
+ Tons of ink! It even comes with 3 huge black ink bottles, these may last me a year or more! Also one for each of the 3 colors needed for color printing.
+ Fast and great quality. A little noisy, but that can be attenuated, I'll explain later.
+ You can print, copy, scan (and has an auto feeder on the top, so no manually placing page by page, which you could do, but no reason to!), and Fax! Had no problems using my Voip line.
+ Setup to my PC was easy, just followed the instructions, then typed the given url for setup on my broswer and I was printing in a jiffy.

Cons:
- Doesn't have full duplex printing! I think this is a must nowadays, helps save paper, and trees! My older HP printer would do this, print both sides of a page automatically, this one can't.
- It comes with an installation CD?? Who uses optical media anymore? Come on, include an USB drive in the future, like many PC motherboards manufacturers do nowadays.
- No USB cable included for people that want a physical connection.
- Tiny screen and not back-lit!
- Paper feeder ins on the back and open (not a closed casset), so you will get dust in your paper...

Now, onto some issues some people have that can be solved easily with something that Canon haven't put in their manual, shame on them:
*** Noisy printer? Turns off automatically? Doesn't turn back on?***
Well, you can solve that easily. Either download (or check, your programs it may have been installed already) "Canon inkjet print utility" from the Windows app store and check the "printer settings". You can also access them via a web browser. Like entering the setup of a router, you can enter the printer's ip address in the url bar and it will pull the printer's web gui. There you can login (default login is admin and the password would be your printers serial number, you can find it in the back of the printer, and can be changed in here). From this web menu there are many settings, including the power saving ones. You can set the printer to QUIET MODE, will be slower, but quitter. Also, you can set it to AUTO SHUT OFF, AND AUTO TURN ON when a print job is sent. I hope this helps some people. Shame on canon for not providing instructions to this great web gui.

Is the tv full array led?
I highly doubt by the price point its a full array. More than likely is edge lit. But I must say, even so, the black levels are superb and it even has backlight dimming. Panel uniformity is great and there is no clouding nor light leaking on the sides (being a small panel, chances of having those are very, very low).

Below under Question Details is a copy of a customer review of the Sharp TV Model LC-32LB370U on the Best Buy Website. Is this correct?
"The description on the box is that the TV screen is 31.5" diag. This is true; however, the picture is only 23" diag. I purchased this Sharp to replace a 24" Sony, which had a fine picture; just small. Now, I have a Sharp, which has a great picture; just smaller."
You must be measuring it wrong or must have gotten the wrong model. Or maybe you are viewing content that doesn't fill the tv totally, that is not the tv's fault (i.e some movies, tv programs and filmed on different aspect ratios). I just measured it and its really 31.5" diagonally, full screen.
