Fantastic headset for the price
on August 9, 2017
Posted by: mcshaniac
from Gulfport, MS
For the price-point this pair of headphones can’t be beat!
It has great treble and the bass is as good as it could be. Packaging is very nice and intuitive to save on materials used.
These headphones will excel if you play FPS games whether it’s on the PS4, Xbox One, or PC, which is an added bonus that they are compatible with all the consoles and handhelds.
Music quality on these cans are fantastic regardless of the genre you fancy. The included 3.5mm audio cable with a built-in mic and volume adjuster knob is extremely convenient! One of the features I really like is that the 3.5mm audio cable can be unplugged directly from the headset itself Incase the cable goes bad or you want to use a different type of cable.
One aspect that I dislike is the headphones do start to hurt the side of my ears after 2-3+ hours even though they are around-ear headphones. It could be just the shape of my head I just don’t know.
Overall, for the price of these headphones you probably will not find a better deal so I highly recommend these to anyone looking for a new headset with the above mentioned qualities.

Toss this waterproof LifeProof AQUAPHONICS speaker in the pool and watch it float. The crisp audio doesn't stop for snow, dirt or ice, and this Bluetooth-enabled speaker can withstand a drop from 1.2m. The battery of this LifeProof AQUAPHONICS speaker keeps going for 15 hours, and it charges your phone while it's playing.

Excellent portable BT speaker!
on July 31, 2017
Posted by: mcshaniac
What a fabulous Bluetooth speaker. So far I have used this speaker extensively in my pool and I just let it float around while I float near it. The sound quality is very good (you can clearly hear lyrics from the music at least 50-75 feet away). Pairing up my mobile phone was extremely easy and it the speaker was around 85% charged upon unboxing.
Battery life is stellar, at a whopping 15+ hours. As mentioned earlier, it will float and it’s submersible for around 30 minutes if it does indeed go completely under water. Dust, dirt, and snow proof to an extent.
On the bottom of the speaker is a compartment that is big enough to fit credit cards and my iPhone 7+ (without a case on the phone) of which is waterproof, snowproof, dirt, and dust proof!
This speaker has been invaluable to me on my kayaking trips as well. I just bungee cord it to my kayak and my group of 15 people all float down the river with me and are able to hear this BT speaker playing all day long with no issues!!
Highly recommend this!!!

Perfect water-proof BT speaker!!
on July 5, 2017
Posted by: mcshaniac
First off, the packaging for this speaker is quite elegant. Everything is placed inside the box with purpose. The included charger gets it from zero to full in roughly 1-2 hours. Also, it'll most likely arrive out of the box nearly fully charged. There is a compartment underneath the unit with a water, dust, and snow proof latch that's big and deep enough to hold a few essentials (small phone, credit cards, licenses, etc).
Syncing my phone to Lifeproof's speaker was a breeze! Sound quality was absolutely superb. I am very surprised at how well the highs/lows/bass sound on this speaker considering it's only the size of a 20oz drink.
Another neat feature is the flap that covers the charging port also covers a USB port where you could charge another device using the speaker as the source.
This speaker floated and stayed waterproof in my salt pool for over a combined 24 hours now. Absolutely no damage or muffled sound has resulted. I love love this BT speaker! My favorite use so far was on a kayaking trip and I bungee corded it to the front and jammed out literally all day due to its excellent battery life.
I highly recommended this speaker 5/5.

Top-notch, high quality headphones
on June 17, 2017
Posted by: mcshaniac
Upon unboxing these headphones by Master & Dynamic you are welcomed with a very sophisticated-like experience. The two different types of audio cables are perfectly woven in their high-quality leather storage case. The headphones are nestled perfectly underneath an intuitive box design.
Once unboxed, you'll notice that you have two audio cables; one can be used to simply listen to audio and the other has an in-line mic with volume controls for cell-phones, etc. Both cables are very generous in their length as I have mine hooked into an amplifier so cable length was important (roughly 4 feet long).
Build quality, design & craftsmanship is by far the best I have ever seen in a pair of headphones and I've owned Astro's, Beats, Bose,Sonos gear, etc.. The exterior of the headband is made of ultra premium & durable cowhide while the headbands' interior is made of soft, memory foam-like lambskin (ear cups also of the latter quality). Stainless steel frame and foldable hinges with artistic focus on the design and engineering of the entire package.
Highly recommend these to anyone looking for ultra high-end premium audio fidelity!

Most optimal and natural way to present!
on April 14, 2017
Posted by: mcshaniac
As a Clinical Pharmacist I have to give several professional presentations every month. By switching to the Logitech Spotlight I was able to worry less about the technology I'm using & what could go wrong and focus more on being myself and giving a great presentation that peopleactually want to pay attention to.
Due to its form factor, weight distribution, & button placement the controller feels extremely natural and lightweight in the hands. Not to mention quite easy to use.
The three buttons usage and programming of was easy for me to do and very intuitive for what the button can do and how to do it. The combinations are endless it seems like!
One feature I loved was the programmable timer you can set so that the remote vibrates to let you know time is expiring.
Last but not least, make sure if you have to give presentations and use this pointer in a foreign environment that you have the software installed on their computer, etc if you want to use the more advanced/programmable features of the pointer.

Best vacuum on the market!
on April 10, 2017
Posted by: mcshaniac
For the past ~6 years I've owned the Dyson DC41 Animal + Allergy vacuum and couldn't be happier. That was until I received and started to use the new Dyson Animal 2. I vacuumed one bedroom carpet with my old vacuum and then went over it with the Animal 2 and ended up with 1/2 filled bin!
I can't stress enough how much more power this vacuum has compared to the DC41 Animal + Allergy. On barefloors, tile, chicago brick, & medium length carpet the new Animal 2 consistently picked up quite a bit more compared to the DC41.
The included mattress tool works extremely well on sheets due to a dog that loves to roll around outside. The animal hair tool has been redesigned since the DC41 and we absolutely love it! It's so convenient to use the animal hair tool when needing to quickly vacuum our couches, dining room chairs, & bedding.
I would highly recommend the Animal 2 to anyone! The Animal 2 has an increase in suction power compared to prior year models and I can vouch first-hand that the increased power directly results in an increase in performance!

Top choice for whole-home mesh networking!
on January 31, 2017
Posted by: mcshaniac
Set-up was fairly straightforward. Just unbox, plug your first "node" into the wall and cable modem, load up the Linksys app and follow the on-screen prompts.
The unboxing was quite pleasant as everything packaged reminded me of a certain company from California. One thing to be aware of is that currently you are not suppose to use this with an existing WiFi router. This is supposed to be used as a standalone product. Hopefully with future firmware and app updates that will change.
Another good thing is that if you have 3 or more nodes you can set the first node up as the "parent" node and be the workhorse for the latter 2 nodes to easily allow more bandwidth to your devices. Currently, these must be set-up and maintained with the available iOS/android app and can not be fine-tuned like most WiFi routers by going to 192.168.1.x
I've used the tri-pack node setup for 3 weeks so far and can report that I've not had any issues so far. I do hope they allow future refinement by the user for using these on-top of an already owned WiFi router + tinkering with even more Velos settings. I understand its marketed towards being easy to set up and just let it do its own thing and work (which it is!), but some people would prefer to add these on to prior routers to further extend their WiFi network and tinker with all the settings!

Excellent multi-purpose blender!
on January 31, 2017
Posted by: mcshaniac
Awesome blender with SUPER sharp blades that will pretty much blend anything! I love that it has two interchangeable parts that simply screw on to one base. That makes it extremely easy to do one part of my recipe, set it to the side and blend an entirely different item.
Also, the included screw-top cups that you can quickly blend up shakes with are SO convenient. Just put in your fresh fruit, ice, protein, etc and blend it and GO!
I made some fresh salsa the other day with this blender and jarred it up for future use. Some of the best salsa I've ever tasted! The AUTO-IQ technology in this blender is amazing as well. Just push a certain button and it'll blend up (with pre-programmed times, pulse force, pause frequency) everything for you without you needed to hit various buttons throughout the blend cycle.
I highly recommend this to anyone wanting a high-quality, easy-to-use, super fast blender!!

Great Wireless Router for Medium-sized Homes
on December 4, 2016
Posted by: mcshaniac
First, this router is very new and will continue to improve with (we hope) constant firmware updates. Upon testing this router in a 2600 sq. foot home with the router set-up in the far end of the house I was able to achieve strong 5Ghz WiFi signals on almost all of my devices. The 2.4Ghz signal was of course full strength throughout the house.
Menu options when configuring this router are the same as most other current Linksys-Belkin routers with the option of flashing openwrt or dd-wrt firmware if you so desire. These aforementioned firmware flashes will give the user MUCH more customization options (make sure you know what you're doing if you choose this route of firmwares).
LAN/WLAN throughput/signal strength was on-par with current 3200AC class routers. As with all WiFi routers, make sure you set up this router in a central location of your home for optimal WiFi coverage and strength. My only gripe with this router is not for the router itself, but for the slow firmware updates pushed out.
I would recommend this router to anyone wanting to upgrade to a device that can handle multiple devices on Mu-MiMo technology (hopefully more firmware updates to arrive in the future).

Excellent noise-cancellation/sound quality
on December 4, 2016
Posted by: mcshaniac
These headphones are superb at noise-cancellation. While listening to music, 99% background noises are not heard. The one pitfall of this product (which is why I docked it one star) is the wrap-around neck feature. These are not going to be good for running or any fitness-related activity due to the neck brace constantly spinning around & pulling on the earbuds.
Although, if using these for music listening and non-strenuous activity they will excel in all categories. The iPhone/Android app made by Bose is easy to use and facilitates bluetooth pairing and firmware updates on the earbuds. Also, the Bose app makes it especially easy to pair these earbuds with multiple bluetooth/NFC devices.
Charging the earbuds is effortless and takes minimal time to charge from 0-100% (~2 hours). Battery life is fantastic (~9.5 hours with regular use), and can be extended by turning off the noise-cancellation.
