Another Great Remote in the Harmony Line
on May 1, 2019

The Harmony Express is designed to control a single entertainment system.
Hardware – Remote, large infrared blaster that you sit in front of your entertainment center, and an IR mini blaster that enables you to control audio and video components that might be hidden.
Hardware – Remote, large infrared blaster that you sit in front of your entertainment center, and an IR mini blaster that enables you to control audio and video components that might be hidden.
So back to set up. Just have your device name and model numbers handy and know your input settings.
Everything is set up through the Express App you download to your smartphone. All my devices were recognized and fully functional. You simply add your devices then tell the app which devices are connected to each input. You will then set up Alexa account and your off to the races.
The setup was fairly easy once I got past my security system that feeds into HDMI 1 on the TV. (More unique situation) Unfortunately, that system is not supported or recognized in the Express. Totally understandable. I emailed support and they promptly provide me a work around. All good now. Fantastic customer service!

So for most people out there, set up should be a breeze.
Once set up, you simply press the center button and tell the remote what you want done…’turn on TV’…’go to Netflix’…’go to channel 4’ among a host of other commands. No Need to say Alexa since you are activating that service by pressing the button
If you have an Alexa enabled speaker or Echo, you can use that to do all the same commands. ‘Alexa, turn on the TV’ etc..
This remote is not quite as customizable as my Harmony Ultimate One with hub, but should be great for most entertainment systems. Of course it will come down to how you want to interact with your system, Touch screen and buttons, or basically one button and your voice.
You can also control most of your devices using the remote as well, such as Guide, Menu, Volume, FWD, RWD, basic navigation etc. My understanding is Logitech is adding verbal commands for actions where buttons are unavailable for.

Watch sports and movies on this 55-inch Hisense H8F Android smart TV. The Dolby Vision High Dynamic Range adds vivid color, brightness and contrast to every image, and the built-in Google Assistant provides control of this TV with voice commands. This Hisense H8F Android smart TV has Motion Rate 240, decreasing eye-strain and creating smooth motion.

So I put this up in place of another Hisense TV (55H7C).
Fairly lightweight and easy to hook up . It has 4 HDMI reports an optical port and a couple of USB ports. Nice to have enough

You have a couple choice on where to mount the feet if you use the stand. You can mount outer spots or inner placement. Nice option.
I hung it on the wall by myself.

This was my first Google TV experience, and it went fairly smoothly, however I did encounter a problem when trying to set up through my smart phone. It would not see my Wi-Fi network. So I abandoned that and just set it up via the TV itself.
The setup screen shows a microphone on the remote however there was no such button. Instead of a microphone you have a blue green red and yellow dot on a button , that is your microphone button .
I will say the colors are better. Flesh tones etc. Nice improvement.

Picture Quality:
Not superb when I play through my Dish Network. My 1080P Samsung is still much sharper and smoother. However, if you play a Blue Ray or 4K content the picture is fantastic. I think these 4K TV’s are just a little ahead of there time still since most broadcast is only 1040 still.

Menus operation:
You do get a lot of nice menus that allow you the ability to dig in to picture settings, sounds settings etc.
The android interface works nicely. All apps seem to work smoothly. The remote has nice shortcuts to Netflix, YouTube, Google Play, and Vudu.
Sound is pretty good for this style TV not that I used it much, I simply plugged into home theater system as I suppose most people do.

Back to Google TV and Google Play. I downloaded a couple games. Pretty fun. I was able to download an accompanying remote app to use my smart phone as the remote.. Worked smoothly, no delay that I experienced.
Bottom Line, Nice 4K Smart TV for the money. HiSense is picking up it’s game. I give it a 4 star only due to standard HD picture could be a tad bit better for me…..But I would recommend you go view it for yourself at a local Best Buy…. Other than that, Nice TV.

The Party Booster feature makes a variety of sounds depending on where the speaker is touched, and the volume increases or decreases depending on the strength of force used when tapping. This Sony EXTRA BASS portable Bluetooth speaker has multicolor flashing lights that sync to the beat of the music for added style.

Still a great portable speaker
on April 14, 2019
Posted by: Mukman
from MUKWONAGO,WI
So glad I could review this years XB series speaker. I also have last years model XB31 and am still very happy with it.
The differences appearance wise is the new XB32 has the same fabric front, but a soft touch rubber / plastic shell whereas as the XB31 was completely wrapped in the fabric. Personal choice here, I prefer the total wrap of the fabric. The outside of the XB32 shows fingerprints.
The lighting design is slightly different on the sides of the speaker as well. The XM32 is a smidge wider.
Nice added touch is the added ‘Live’ button to the top panel. This allows you to change the sound setting without having to go into the Sony app.

Sound is as good as ever with rich bass and full sound.
I still don’t get the party booster feature. This is where you can tap the speaker for different instrument sounds. Pretty corny if you ask me, however, it must appeal to some audience if they have brought it back.
You again have the same type of light illumination feature that you can control via the Sony Music Center app or the new Fiestable App. This new app also allows you to change volume, track, play and pause by the movement of your phone.

Battery life still great and With an IP67 rating, your speaker can be dropped in water, which I have done with the XB31 many times at the lake. (Okay, sometimes dip it in the water just to freak someone out :-))
Well, now since I have 2 similar speakers I can now take advantage of the ‘Party Chain’ mode.
This allows you to connect the two speakers to play from the same device. The audio is sometimes a hair off in timing, but if you spread the speakers enough, you may not notice this.

The other feature I was hoping I could use was ‘ADD’ feature. This allow you to add one speaker as a Left channel and the other as a Right channel. However, I could not use this since my models are a year apart which I thought was pretty lame. Apparently, you must have identical model numbers to use this feature.
Overall still a great buy. Very portable, great sound, great battery, waterproof and you can even charge your smartphone from this thing. I highly recommend again this year.

Loud, Great Bass, Nice looking
on April 14, 2019

from MUKWONAGO,WI
From the initial box opening you can tell you have a quality made product.
This is my first opportunity to review a Marshall speaker so I have no reference of the other speakers in there line up to compare too.
This is my first opportunity to review a Marshall speaker so I have no reference of the other speakers in there line up to compare too.
This Speaker is approx. 9" x 6.5" x 14" and weighs in at almost 11 lb.’s, so not backpack portable.
The classic amp look of this speaker is great. The front is made of a steel mesh grill and the rest is wrapped in a nice black leather like material with durable flush mounted end caps on all corners.. Nice strong flexible handle rounds it off.
This unit is IPX2 Water resistant which means it can handle dripping water at an angle of 15%. So I wouldn’t leave this on in the rain.
Connectivity:
Easy to connect to Bluetooth 5.0. (W/Multi-host Functionality) Simply press and hold the dedicated button on the top and pair with phone. No problems here at all.
You also have aux. jack you could use.
You also have aux. jack you could use.
Battery Life:
Box states you get 20 + hours. I have used for 2 days straight before recharging, so that sounds accurate.
Sound:
Tufton is engineered as a 3-Way System, produced sound from three separate devices - a tweeter, mid-range driver, and sub-woofer. Specs: 1 x 40w + 2 x 15W + 1 x 10W
I have to be honest, I have no idea how they get Stereo sound out of this set up. The box states they use the Blumlein stereo technique.
The top of the speaker has the classic Volume, Bass and Treble Controls which I really like.

I had trouble getting good vocals out of the music using the manual controls. I had to crank up the mid-tones in my smartphones EQ to get the sound I liked. This is the only reason for the 4-star rating. I did look for an App on Google Play store for this speaker to perhaps tweak the sound, but no luck at the time of this review.
It appears (As I cannot see inside) they have one mid-range speaker facing the front and one facing the rear of the speaker. I believe this must be how they separate into stereo.
I found that it simply sounds better in a larger room and you’re not sitting right next to the speaker.
That being said. this speaker delivers the boom. Massive bass and can get very loud.

Pros - High end solid unit, Great Bass, Portable, Great looking with impressive battery life.

This BOOST UP 5W Qi Certified Wireless Charging Pad works as advertised. It is the size of a drink coaster. Very simply but effective.
I have a Samsung Note 8 that I charge with this. In my test yesterday I got approx 20% charge in 1 hour. In 75 min. i went from 73% to 100%.
I am glad that Belkin has come out with a simple charging pad at a good price.

Very Impressive Logitech. This G635 headset is incredible. The sound quality is amazing.
I first tested the microphone and audio quality on a Skype phone call. The fit and sound quality were great. Then on to a movie on the PC to experience the surround sound. Very impressive.
My daughter uses them for PC gaming and loves them. She likes the light settings, but really liked the fact that the book mic activates the mic when pulled down and turns off when flipped up. She is also impressed with the sound quality.
With the mic closed and tucked away you don’t even know it is there. My daughter set it so when you flip it down it activates the lights to change from blue to red and back to blue. You can then pull the mic out about an inch.
These do look a little big, but once on are very comfortable. They appear to be built well.
The left side has a switch to choose between PS and 3.5mm mode. (both cords included)
You then have 3 programmable buttons, a mute button and a nice rotary volume dial.

The G Hub software allow you to create customer profiles for every game you play. Change lights, shortcut keys etc., But most importantly you can change all the surround sound setting.
Okay, would I like to be wireless?..sure, but these are really a great buy and my daughter doesn’t have to remember to charge them ;-). If you must be wireless, try the G935.
I can confidently recommend these headphones

I must say I was happy to have the opportunity to review the Expedia 10 phone by Sony.
In general, I would say this is a very nice mid-range phone. My daily phone is a note 8 so of course it is a step down. But with that said I was impressed with the operation of the phone overall. I do like the size of the phone, it is tall but slender, so it fits well in the hand. This does make for a slightly smaller keyboard than I am used too, but I simply loaded my familiar keyboard, and all was good.
I wont dive too detailed into what is under the hood as you can read those specs in the description. I will say that even though it does not have the most RAM or highest end processor I found that most of the time this phone worked pretty smooth. Once in a while I notices a slight delay compared to my Note 8, but that is to be expected.
The Camera was not as impressive as the rest of the phone. I found a slight delay when attempting to capture some photos. The quality of the rear camera is average, but not great. The front camera again is just okay in good lighting, but low light it really has trouble with. Colors get blow out and pixelated.
Google assistant works well. Just hold the center home button down and tell the assistant what you want to do.
I must say that I am impressed with the side thumbprint reader. I like this better then the placement on my Note 8. Nice job here Sony.
Bluetooth worked fine on every device I connected except my Honda Accord. It took 2 attempts to connect but did work on the second attempt.
Wi-Fi was strong and fast (full 234Mbps down and 12 Mbps up) (I have Spectrum 200 Mbps service)
Data speed on the Verizon network was 33Mbps down and 21 Mbps up.
So, my bottom line on this phone…This is a very nice mid-range phone that would work great for the average user. If you are a power user or demand the best of the best, then not the phone for you.
If the camera was better and it was waterproof, I think this would have been my wife’s next phone, but since we are around water quite a bit in the summer, this just would not work for her.

Fast and Stable
This router is fast (716Mhz Quad-core) and I have had no connection issues.
Set up was pretty straight forward. Follow the quick startup guide. This router uses a smartphone app for set-up and management. Hint - you can still get to it using a browser. Simply enter the 192.168.1.1 into your browser and left click on the wireless icon to get you set up the first time.
During the setup I had the app telling me to wait for a Purple light if I remember correctly and I had a flashing blue (Sorry I am trying to remember back a couple weeks) Anyway, I finally just went to the next step without the color change and it worked - Just wanted to provide a heads up.
I did connect my Velop (Mesh) nodes at the same time, it does take a little while, but all worked well.
I recently turned off all the Mesh nodes to provide a fair review of just the unit. I have over 200 Mbps service and when tested upstairs (Ranch style home – 2200 sq. ft) and got pretty good signal throughout. When I went downstairs, same strength. (Not to mention, my router is in a closet in the living area.) When I did a speed test through the Linksys App I got 200 Mbps, but when I tested through the Wi-Fi on my laptop I got about 60 Mbps. I then turned on a Velop node and it went up to 160 Mbps.
Either way, streaming was perfect either way.
So, I would say if you have a 2 story and want to reach the basement, or you are in a heavier congested area, perhaps the mesh system would be great. I will put my node in the garage to get better connection outside.
I really love having the 4 Gigabit LAN ports for extra ethernet connections. I was able to remove 5 port switch from my system as I no longer need it.
I would like to see a little better parental control at the router level. All you can do is really turn on and off a connection.
I have on average 14 devices connected at one time with no issues to date.
Overall, I am happy with this router.

Fast, Lightweight and tough!

Premium laptop here. I moved to this LG Gram from a 15 in 2 in 1 Dell. Grant it, this is about 2x the price I paid for the Dell a couple years ago, but it is simply a fabulous machine.
This unit is durable, very light and looks very clean.
Speed:
With the Intel Core i7 processor, 16GB Memory & 512GB Solid State Drive this 2 in 1 really screams.
This is my first run at a laptop with an i7 and I am loving it. It has been very snappy at every task I have thrown at it. Watching Hulu and other videos look great.
Speakers:
Speakers are alright for a thin laptop, located on the bottom toward the front, not real loud, but I usually use Bluetooth headphones or speaker anyway.
Screen:
The high def screen (1920 x 1080) resolution has a great picture and color quality. Text is nice and sharp as well. The screen is made of scratch-proof Corning Gorilla Glass as well, so it is also tough.
Keyboard:
The keyboard has a nice feel with backlit keys. There are 2 brightness settings. I do wish there was a slightly brighter setting though. There is a power button to the right of the ‘Delete’ key and has a great fingerprint reader. This is one of my favorite features.
Connections / Ports:
You get one USB Type C 3.1 port, two USB Type A 3.1 ports and headphone jack. You also have an HDMI Standby button and mini SD card slot. Thank you LG for at least 2 standard USB slots!
Power plug feels slightly wimpy. I worry about long term durability. LG could take a page out of Dells book here and use a larger connection with light up cord.

Battery Life:
Battery life is fantastic. I have not used it consistently for a whole day, but I believe it will go 7-8 hours.
Pen:
LG bundles its Stylus Pen to help you handle all your writing and drawing needs. This pen functions very well and it a nice add on for tablet mode. The only drawback is there is no place to store it. Not sure why companies overlook this feature.
Wi-Fi:
The Wi-Fi is fantastic. Did a test on my home Wi-Fi and got a full 200+ Mbps download.

Power plug feels slightly wimpy. I worry about long term durability.
No Pen attachment

Conclusion:
I hope I didn’t miss anything in the review above. I will say this is a great, lightweight and tough 2-in-1 laptop. Great for personal or business use. Normally you get either power and all the extra’s but have to settle for terrible battery life, with this LG gram you get it all with excellent battery life.
I would highly recommend.

These Jaybirds are riding up there in the top tier of ear buds in my opinion.
FIT - These buds come with nice soft gel/silicone tips. You have a few size choices to choose from. Personally I wish they came with an over shape tip as well as I personally have more success with that shape. However, to my surprise, they fit well and are quite comfortable.

SOUND - Back to my comment above, the oval shape usually fit my ear the best offering the best fit and therefore sound quality.
To my surprise these do a great job. At first I was not getting them fit properly. Once I pushed in just enough with a slight twist forward I get a nice seal to the ear and then the Bass pops in nicely.
Overall sound is very natural and well balanced.
If you need to tweak to fit your style, the Jaybird App has a nice EQ to help you with that.

CALL quality is very good. No complaints from the people on the other end as well.
CONTROLS are very common three button style; Power, Volume up and Volume down which also provide the Skip function. The only thing I miss is a status light. Just looking at these, you have no idea if they are on or off.
USER EXPERIENCE has been very nice. What I like the best about these over others ear buds I own is how darn light they are. You almost forget they are there. I was a little hesitant when I saw these because they have the control unit only on one side. I typically like this more balanced (Maybe battery pack on other side) so the weight is even and they don't continually want to slide one way. Well good news, they are so light that this is really minimized, and once I put the collar clip on…problem solved.
BATTERY consumption is great. I use all day between pod casts and calls and they have yet to come close to running out of juice. They charge fast as well.
Side note – At first I was bummed about another proprietary charging cable, but completely understand they need to do this to keep them waterproof.

IMPROVEMENTS IN MY HUMBLE OPINION:
Add indicator light so we know the status (On/Off)
Optional Oval silicone tips

Bottom line, I like the ear fit of my Jabra Elite slightly better, but like the weight and balance of these better. I will say these have been my go-to pair as of late.

What is the IP rating for water resistance?
The iPad is a great device, especially if you pair it with an Apple Pencil. A full-fledged computer, the power of a digital work environment literally at your fingertips. But one thing is still not great: the Apple Pencil slipping around on the iPad's glass surface feels unnatural and the pencil tip gets stuck on fingerprints and smudges. It simply doesn't feel right. If you're like us, you miss the accuracy of writing on paper. Paperlike, a screen protector that emulates the natural feel of paper when writing and drawing on the iPad. The most significant challenges in developing the Paperlike were finding the right friction while keeping light refractions at a minimum. And keeping the material smooth enough, so it doesn't eat up the pencil tip like sandpaper (a lot of regular matte screen protectors do that). That's why we developed a unique surface technology called Nanodots. These microbeads are evenly distributed across the foil and allow for a natural paper-feel while keeping as much of your iPad's brilliant display quality as possible. Join tens of thousands of artists, students, and notetakers around the world who love Paperlike. And finally, make your iPad the truly magnificent device it can be.
There are two versions available but no way to specify which version you need. Want to order but want the version that is cut specifically for the 2020 version which has different cutouts from the 2018.
It just has cut outs for the camera area. This is for 2018-2020 version of the 12.9"
