Everyone else is second.

I own multiple generations of Arlo video cameras as well as several from the other big names out there. Arlo is simply the best of best. The ease of set up, the picture quality and app performance are all top notch. The 6th generation Arlo Pro is no different.
Set up –
The first difference from prior generations is there is no base. In terms of ease of set up, that is great. I am not sure if that is better or worse than the old Arlo Pro’s I have since they used a base and I think they use a proprietary network that is hard wired to my router. Regardless, I was able to set up, update and start using 3 cameras in less than 10 minutes. I did have the advantage of having the app already, but I did scan the QR code in the box to start set up. It really was a pleasure and there were zero issues.
Performance and features–
There is a definite improvement over the 2nd generation Arlo Pro’s I have. Arlo has always been good at picture quality but there is noticeable difference in color, brightness and low light performance. Another noticeable difference is there is a lot less latency between movement and picture (probably related to not having a base.) One of my complaints about some of the competition is the high latency of camera images was the event. and there are far more camera controls. You can set what viewing angle you want ( I found the 160 degree to be a bit too fishbowl for me, ) low light sensitivity, HDR and more. My older Arlo’s had little to none of that. All cams include a light that you turn on/off and adjust the brightness. The light will not light up a huge area but it is enough. If I had to guess, it is about twice as bright as a cell phone light.
Value –
A great price was never Arlo’s strong suit. They were always the most expensive but did back it up with great quality. When I saw what you get for the price now, I was shocked. 3 cams, 4 swappable batteries, a charger and mounts for half the price I would have paid for 6 years ago. It is fantastic deal and if you catch on a sale, you cannot go wrong.
What I did not like –
They removed the magnetic mount I love with other Arlo’s. It appears magnetic mounts are on the higher end models but not the Pro 2k. It is not a deal breaker by any means, but it will be missed. The mounts Arlo provided are very cheap and plastic. They will function but I will be looking for something a bit more robust in the aftermarket. Lastly, I had a slight issue with the charger. It would not recognize the battery and inconsistently charge . I unplugged the charger and took out the batteries and was able to get it working. It was not a one off, the same thing happened a few times. Odd but in the end I was able to charge the batteries.
As with nearly all major video cam makers, there is a subscription option. However, Arlo’s cost is very high and is about 3 times the price it should be . There are some advantages to having the plan but core functionality will be fine for most people.
The Arlo Pro 6th generation is a great product with a lot of value. There are noticeable differences between the 6th generation and older units. Arlo has, yet again, made a great product that I recommend completely. I cannot think of single competitor that offers this level of quality for the price. This would have been 5 stars if they left the magnetic mounts.

Okay product, but strong ecosystem & integrations
on November 4, 2025
Posted by: TechnicallyCorrect
Aqara is new name for me when it comes to doorbells. In researching their company, they appear to be a big player in the smart devises industry with robust ecosystem of multiple types of devices and compatibility. Out of the box, the Aqara Video Door Bell looks great but does a have few quirks that could use some refinement. In review :
Set up –
The instructions, or lack thereof, is an oversight. There is a QR code that you are supposed to scan but there is more than one code on the items. Once you figure it out, the app immediately pairs the hub and doorbell. It was done in less than a minute and I found it to be seamless.
Camera –
Clear, but a bit underwhelming. Like many of these doorbell cameras, there will always be a fishbowl effect. However, I felt to be more pronounced than I expected. Colors were okay but a bit washed out. In the end, it is perfectly useable.
Design -
The doorbell itself is a bit clunky with it being bigger and heavier than other models I have tested. Some reviewers have said it feels cheap, but I did not feel that to be the case at all. It is rock solid and the fit and finish are excellent. To access the inside for a wired connection or to put the batteries, there is small screw on the right side. Once I unscrewed it, I was unable to reseat it properly. It did not affect any functionality, but it was an annoyance. One thing I did not like is the use and inclusion of alkaline batteries. The device requires six double A batteries to work. Why Aqara took this approach when nearly all the competition uses a rechargeable battery I cannot fathom. Sure you can add your own, but I think they could rework design to incorporate a higher density smaller battery. The inside hub is excellent – small and discreet yet does the job. A nice feature is a slot for an SD card (up to 512 gb) , something you would be hard pressed to find offered by the competition. It also NAS support - very nice.
App –
The app is what you would expect from smart device company – a refined UI with a lot of thought into the functionality across their ecosystem. The navigation is not intuitive for the doorbell ( I could not find a way to turn off the doorbell in the app.) Latency between the app and a live camera event is high, far more than I have experienced from the competition ( using the same exact network.)
Performance –
I ran the gamut of tests without it mounted on my door. I feel I can get a better feel of all functions. The doorbell function works fantastic and the inside hub is surprising loud for such a small speaker. There is face detection option that worked relatively well but would occasionally miss my face. I think Aqara AI model could use some work in this regard. For overall sensing movement, it was incredible sensitive, and I think it is on par with some of the higher priced big names in the doorbell video cam business .
In conclusion, the big question is would I buy Aqara - Video Doorbell Camera? Yes, but not for the reasons you may think. I think where Aqara really shines is the integration and ecosystem. Aqara works with Google Home, Apple Homekit, Alexa, Smartthings, Matter and other third party systems. In reference to Aqara’s ecosystem; I had no idea they had some many different products – all types of sensors, cameras, locks , lighting and even a curtain controller. The fact is today there are many similar smart products on the market today and it comes down to integration and software. Aqara seems to recognize that and is putting a heavy emphasis across their product lines. If you are someone that buys an ecosystem rather than a just product, this doorbell is for you.

Budget friendly but too entry level for my taste.
on October 19, 2025
Posted by: TechnicallyCorrect
I have owned and tested several Glorious Keyboards. The other models I have are the higher end models including the top line GMMK 3 PRO full size. The Glorious GMMK 3 Pro was the best keyboard I ever tested. The GMBK75 is not that keyboard, nor should it be considering it is nearly 1/6th the price of the Pro . The GMBK75 is a budget friendly entry level keyboard that will satisfy beginners, but will fall short if the user is used to using a better ( and bigger) keyboard.
The keys –
Passable, but not nearly as good as a true mechanical keyboard. The keys are responsive but are missing the satisfying click of a better keyboard. They also feel cheap to me. Of course, that is totally subjective, but it definitely has an inexpensive feel. The typing performance for me was awkward, the keys seemed to be smaller than most of my other keyboards. I measured the keys on my basic Logitech keyboard and the keyboard on my LG laptop. The Logitech keys are 5/8 “wide and LG keys are 9/16 “ wide . The GMBK75 are ½ “wide. Even though these are small differences, it makes a big difference in the typing experience. For beginners, it should be fine. The keyboard has a two-level height adjustment that is a clever design that works well.
Construction –
The first thing I noticed is how light the keyboard is. Never a good sign and makes me wonder about long-term durability. There is a large amount of flex if you twist it. It does stay in place with the rubber feet. One great feature is the IP67 Waterproof & Dust-Resistance. There are not many of the competition that does that in this price range.
Software –
I have always felt their software was very minimalistic and spotty performance. You do not need the software to do a lot of things but it needs to be rock solid. At first, I made mistake and assumed that the GMBK75 would work with the Core 2.0 software I already have loaded. It did not. You will need to download the 2.1 version. After I installed the new software, I could not get it to work until I restarted my computer. I have no idea whether that is my computer or if it is software. Not a major issue but it is worth mentioning. Once the software was up and running, you can adjust some of the performance and lighting. I do not care about the lighting and turned it off. However, I found it randomly running back on even though the software indicated the lighting was shut off.
Customization –
This is Glorious’s claim to fame. You can change the keys, frame, and add graphics. What a waste of time and money on an entry level keyboard. Do not buy the GMBK75 for customization.
Warranty -
The warranty of 2 years is comparable to the competition in this price range.
I am trying to keep in mind that this is a budget keyboard, but I just cannot recommend the GMBK75 for most people. The keys are too small and feel cramped, the construction feels cheap and customization is a gimmick at this price point. It is not without it merits for basic use and I think the price point works for an adolescent starting out that will eventually outgrow it. I think there are just better choices in this price point from the competition.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Too many flaws to be useful.
on July 21, 2025
Posted by: TechnicallyCorrect
When I first received the iRobot Roomba 105 Combo Robot Vacuum & Mop, I did not have high hopes. I’ve experienced entry tier robot vacuums before, and they were always terrible. Well, sadly the Roomba 105 is just barely above that. It does have a few good points but they are just not enough to make this entry level robot vacuum worth.
Initial impressions and set up –
When I took it out of the box, I immediately noticed that the vacuum roller was small – very small. It is roughly half the size of what I have on my two higher end competing robot vacuums. While the overall smaller size of the unit can have advantages when navigating, the light weight gave me concerns (more on that later.) On a positive note, the fit and finish was excellent and better than I expected. For the initial set up, I plugged the base in and set the unit to charge. While it was charging, I downloaded the app – or so I thought. For some reason, there are two IRobot apps. The IRobot and the Roomba Home app, the latter is the one you will need. You can avoid my mistake by using the QR code on the packaging. I did not run into any issues once I chose the correct app and had the unit ready in a few minutes. For some reason, IRobot chose not to include an owner’s manual but included a 36 page safety manual. Weird. Regardless, once the app is set up, the Roomba 105 has to run an initial map of the areas. The mapping only took a 15 minutes. After that it was ready to clean.
Performance –
This is where things took a turn for the worst. In the app, you have a choice of light clean, normal clean or deep clean. I selected deep clean to get a good idea of its performance. The unit turned on at 7:46 PM. After several recharges, the unit was still running at 1:05 AM and not finished; I had to stop it. It covered all the areas at least once but 6 hours to clean 600 feet of floor space is ridiculous. I had hoped that it did a super thorough job but when I opened the dustbin, I found a small amount of dust. It had picked up some debris I placed in various spots but none from any of the corners. I had not vacuumed in nearly 3 weeks for this test, and I found the results to be disappointing. I ran the Roomba 105 again in regular cleaning mode and it ran for 2 hours and 25 minutes. The duct bin now had almost nothing in it. I thought that maybe my carpet was not as dirty as I thought so I ran my 10-year competing brand robot vacuum and the result was night and day. My old unit pulled in way more dirt than this new Roomba 105. Very disappointing. My old unit was 3 times the price of the Roomba 105, but I did expect better from the Roomba.
Putting that aside, I found the lidar mapping to do an excellent job and the vacuum had no trouble navigating my apartment. I put down a shoe and small box to test the Roomba 105’s obstacle avoidance and the result was mixed. The vacuum navigated around the shoe and just pushed the small box. That was comparable to the other two robot vacuums I have, and I felt the Roomba passed the test.
Battery life and charging –
The Roomba 105’s battery life is not good. I mentioned earlier that this unit was light weight, and the smaller battery contributes to that. A robot vacuum should not need to recharge 3 or more times to vacuum an 800 sq foot apartment. The charge time is a crawl, and I think that is in part to the docking station being powered by a USB connection. Not good.
In conclusion, the Roomba 105 is just too entry level for my tastes. It does offer mopping in addition to vacuuming, but I did not trust the unit enough to test it in my small kitchen (there is a carpet in the adjoining room and I could see that it would have run into the carpet.) The Roomba 105 battery is just too small and so is the cleaning roller. It left far too much debris on my carpet and the corners were mostly misses. There is no other way to put this, the carpet cleaning is just very poor. My old unit clearly did a far superior job, and I could see that result by all the dirt in the bin of my old unit -even after the Roomba had 3 passes in my apartment. This would be a unit for someone that has only hard surfaces and under 800 sq foot of area to clean. For the small areas I have that were tile, it did a decent job and performed a little better in the corners. The unit is relatively quiet, and the app is straightforward. The mapping was on point and way better than I expected. One of the inherent flaws of many round robot vacuums like the IRobot Roomba 105 is the cleaning roller are between the wheels. That limits the size of the roller and impacts performance. Better Roomba’s have a double roller that helps but I have personally found wedge or square like vacuums do a better job in corners. The final plus for the IRobot Roomba 105 is the price. This is one of the lowest price named brand robot vacuums I have ever seen. It does pack a lot technology at this price point and would be okay for a perfect scenario of all hard floors.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Too underpowered to be worth it.
on July 13, 2025
Posted by: TechnicallyCorrect
I tried; I really tried to give this laptop a chance considering the price point. After more than a week with the ASUS Vivobook Go 14, the simple fact is this is a barely usable laptop. I know it is a budget laptop, but the specs are just not up to par with even the minimum of today’s standards. There are some positives, but they are outweighed by the lowest performance that I have experienced in a modern laptop. Let’s look at the basics and see where it went wrong.
Setup –
This is where the first signs that performance was going to be an issue. When you first turn on the laptop, it will take about 2 minutes for the “Just a moment” message. Not terrible but could be a lot faster. Next was installing updates, that is when the pain started. After 1 hour and 22 minutes, it was at 39% so I went to bed. I got up two hours later and it was still going. There are a lot of variables that can cause this but one that was not a factor is my network speed. I believe this long update time was driven by poor storage, limited ram and a weak processor. Regardless of the reason, a 3 GB +/- simple update should not take this long. Sadly, this does not include the cumulative updates – which take forever to update.
Build quality –
Overall, surprisingly decent considering the price point. The Vivobook Go 14 had minimal flex when closed and some flex to the body. The screen was solid with very little flex. The hinge had the right amount of tightness and stayed firm in place. I would not say it is great but a bit better than I thought it would be at this price point.
Screen –
1920 x 1080 at 60 HZ and 200 nits. Nothing great, but perfectly usable indoors. Forgot about using it in bright environments. Colors are washed out, contrast is not great, and the viewing angle is limited. However, the screen still performs enough to watch media. It does not have touch screen, but it is not needed on a laptop like this.
Speakers –
Tiny and not powerful. Passable in quiet environments, useless in loud environments Located on the backside and downward facing – they get blocked is you have it on your lap or something soft like a bed. There is an audio out jack.
Web cam –
It is 720p but it is truly awful. It reminds me of webcam from 15 years ago. Poor colors, poor low light and terrible stuttering. Barely usable.
Storage and ram –
128 eMMC and 4 GB on a Windows machine. That is a recipe for disaster. I know Asus is trying to keep the cost down, but these specs are too anemic for a Windows device. You have about 64 GB of storage space left after updates. A few programs will wipe that out. There is no SD slot to expand the storage. The 4 GB of ram is another matter; no Windows device should ever have less than 8 GB of ram.
Keyboard and touch pad –
The keyboard performs well and has a good tactile feel. Key travel is spot on. The touch pad is a mixed bag, and I am not sure how much of it is the touch pad or the performance of the system interfering with the touch pad sensitivity. I kept waiting for clicks to register, not a great user experience.
Battery life –
Thankfully, the battery life is good. I was able to get 8 hours +/- of light usage.
Performance –
This is where Asus lost me on this laptop. Any basic usage slows things down. Page renderings are painfully slow. Multiple tabs open in a browser make it much worse. If you look at the task manager, the CPU is almost always at 100% if you have anything open. Using the system during an update slows things down to a crawl. I did not even bother to install the Chrome browser, I knew it would only make things worse.
In conclusion, the ASUS Vivobook Go 14 is a worthwhile attempt to make a budget laptop that ultimately fails. The user experience is not good, even for the most basic tasks (which is all I tried.) The only audience I would even consider it for is a young child to learn the basics of using a PC. I think if this was Chromebook with an SD slot, this would be much better at this price point. For a Windows PC, it just fails. Most users would be better off getting a tablet with a Bluetooth keyboard at this price point. Asus knows what they are doing, they usually make great products. I think they concentrated too much on trying to hit a price point rather than the user experience. Asus should never make another Windows laptop with less than 8 GB of ram and less than 256 GB storage.

Lives up to the name "Epic."
on June 29, 2025
Posted by: TechnicallyCorrect
I have owned many Jlab products over the years with mixed results. Sometimes they were good and sometimes they were truly awful (quality and battery life.) With that in mind, my expectations were not high for the JLab Epic Open Sport; especially considering the price point and open ear design. However, those expectations were way off. The Epic Open Sport are amazing good. Let’s look at the reasons why:
Construction –
When you first open the case, it does feel on the cheap side. That impression goes away when you start inspecting the actual earpieces. While I cannot say they feel “premium,” they are close and comparable to earpieces that are more expensive. The case itself does feel a bit flimsy so time will tell how well it holds up. The Epic Open Sports are IP55 so they will not survive being dunked in water but enough to protect them from light moisture and dust.
Fit –
The open ear design was odd for me. I felt myself adjusting frequently trying to get the best fit. I realized this was more due to my usual use of in-ear headphones and my adjustments were not necessary. They never fell off my ears, but I always felt they were about to. Some users may find the same with an open ear design. Keep in mind, this is more of a perception rather than a reality. I think most users will adjust to the Epic Open Sport design rather quickly.
Sound –
Shockingly good. The sound was clear, balanced and vibrant. There is an equalizer in the app that can adjust to the media that you are listening to. There are two presets – Jlab Signature and Balanced. I found the Signature to be perfect for most media. The sound was surprisingly loud and had zero distortion. I did basic tests with phone calls and there were no major issues. There were some minor pick up of background sounds but not too bad. You should not buy these for the phone call quality, you should buy them for the sound quality when playing media.
Features –
Each earphone has button and touch controls that can be assigned to a function in the app. The customization is a nice feature that can help some of the pitfalls of touch controls on the small surface of an earpiece. I did find myself miss hitting or getting a result I did not intend. It is not a deal breaker, but it will take some time to get used to. As mentioned earlier, the app has an excellent equalizer function that works well in setting the sound that best suits the environment and the media. Additionally, there is a quick selector of switching between music mode and movie mode. There is a noticeable difference between the two and I found the music mode to be best for most things. The case has a built-in charger that can be charged via USB or wireless charging. The wireless charging was a surprise on a device at this price point – very nice. Jlab claims a battery life of 30 hours with the case. I’ve been using the Epic Open Sport for a week and there is still plenty of battery life left. The reality is that nearly all the manufacturers have nailed the battery life in these types of devices
In conclusion, the JLab Epic Open Sport offers stellar sound with very little compromises. I only tried an open ear design few times before these and had some preconceived notions that were unfounded. It makes sense to have an open ear design if you are exercising outside. The Epic Open Sport strikes a balance of loud and clear sound and still letting in enough outside sound in to be safe when jogging. Are there better headphones on the market? Absolutely. Are there better headphones at the same price point? No, and some at even higher prices do not match the sound quality. Jlab backs up the Epic Open Sport with a 2 year warranty – twice as good as competition that is mor than twice the price. Good job Jlabs, I completely recommend the JLab Epic Open Sport earbuds.

If a tank was a keyboard, this is it.

I have tested and owned a lot of keyboards, so it is hard to impress me. It has reached the point that all the top line keyboards are relatively the same. However, the Glorious GMMK Pro 3 changed my opinion. It is simply the best built keyboard I have ever used. The entire body is built out of heavy aluminum. It is a tank, I literally thought there were suction cups that I missed on the bottom when I tried to move it. Whether gaming or aggressive typing, this 4 lb. keyboard is not moving anywhere. With that in the mind, lets look at the rest of the features and functions:
The keys –
Top notch, mechanical keys. Super responsive with a desirable positive click when pressing. I am used to shorter keys, so it did feel a bit odd with how much the key travel on this keyboard. However, the keys responded only about halfway through. This is not a complaint, just something to get used to. The backlight works well since Glorious made some changes to the keys. The entire letter light up, not just the surrounding area. There were some complaints that prior versions had keys that you could not see what was written on them. I am not sure who needs to read keys at this point, but it is worth noting. One odd thing is Glorious chose to call the “Enter” key as the “Ascend” key. Another odd thing , I could not figure out a way to turn off the backlighting . Whether through the software or keyboard macros, I just could not get it to shut off. I turned the brightness down to zero in the software and it did nothing.
The software –
Meh, below average at best. There are basic functions but some I just could not get several functions to work. I could change the lighting profiles but nothing else really worked. Perhaps it is a preliminary version for testing.
Customization –
This is Glorious’s claim to fame. It is “mod” friendly with multiple options for different types of keys that are hot swappable. For me, I could not care less. The keys and build out of the box is so top notch that I do not see the need to change anything unless it broke. However, I can see the allure for some to be able to change keys and keyboard flex.
With all the positives listed above, there are a few cons. The keyboard is not spill resistant. Knowing a lot of gamer fan boys, this could be a problem with the younger generation of gamers. As I mentioned earlier, the software appears to not be ready for prime time ( that should be an easy fix.) The warranty of 2 years is comparable to the competition but Glorious should separate themselves from the pack with a 3- or 5-year warranty (there are competitors that do it.) The keyboard is tall, so you definitely need a wrist pad of some type.
In conclusion, this is a very nice keyboard. It is not perfect, but you cannot go wrong with it - especially now that the price point is so much lower than the standard Pro version. Tenkeyless/75% keyboards are not my favorite to use but the Glorious GMMK Pro 3 almost made me forget about the full-size experience. I think you have put all the marketing fluff aside to truly appreciate this keyboard. Ignore the customization, the flashy lights and all that extraneous stuff that does not mean much. Where the Glorious GMMK Pro 3 shines to down and dirty quality and performance. It is second to none in that department

One of the best productivity keyboards
on July 14, 2024

I have reviewed dozens and dozens of keyboards and nearly all of them were decent, but most were nothing really special. Logitech keyboards were no different - good but nothing special. That changes with the Logitech - MX Keys S for Mac. For me, it comes down to the typing experience. I do not use keyboards for much gaming, I use them for productivity. That means it all comes down to the typing experience. The spacing, the overall size, the key travel , the responsiveness are all paramount to me. The Logitech - MX Keys S keyboard nails all of them. It truly is a pleasure to type on - quiet, responsive and the spacing is just perfect. In comparison to the significantly more expensive Apple keyboards, the Logitech Mx Keys S beats it hands down. The attention to detail is everywhere -right down to the concave keys that minimize mistypes. The keyboard in total is very solid and at just the right angle to make typing comfortable. Of course, it is backlit, but it has the unique feature of adjusting to the light conditions. For me, I could not care less about that, but I could see some people liking it. Since the keyboard is designed for Apple, you can customize macros ( called Smart Actions) that can combine multiple actions into one short.
In conclusion, I cannot find any flaws. It is priced right, built well and the typing is a dream. I have to confess that I am probably not going to use it on my Apple but use it for my Windows work computer - I just love the typing experience. The Logitech MX Keys S is that good.

Not this time Philips.

Philips Hue has always been the master of smart lighting products. The products have always been of the best quality, work seamlessly, easy to set up and obnoxiously expensive. The Philips Hue Security Camera checks many of those boxes but does fall short – and that is coming from someone who has embraced their entire lighting ecosystem.
The Good:
The Philips Hue Secure camera comes with a magnetic mount and a 10-foot power cable. When you pick it up, it is heavy, feels durable and high quality. The fit and finish definitely puts the camera in the upper echelon of smart cams; making some others feel like towns. Philips states it has an IP65 rating so it can go outside.
Set up was super easy. Since I already use the Hue app, I just had to scan the provided QR code, and it connects in a minute or so. It will go through some updates but nothing obnoxious. In my opinion, Philips Hue is at the top of easy setups, right there with the two big tech companies. Everyone else is second.
The Philips Hue Security Camera includes two-way audio that is clear and passible loudness. There seems to be little or no lag in the video or sound. It also has siren that you can use in conjunction with the Hue lights. I really liked that this feature, I had all the lights flashing red when I triggered it.
The big plus is the Philips Hue ecosystem. Everything works perfect and even integrates into Google Home and Smartthings. I liked having one app for all the their lighting and the cam.
Detection and the night vision work well, and the camera has a large field of vision. The 1080P is adequate but does not look as good as some of the other high-end competitors.
Clips are downloadable.
The Bad:
The camera comes with a strong magnetic mount, but it really should include the desktop base as part of the price. At the time of writing this review, you can buy the desktop stand with the camera for a 15% bump as a kit or 25% the cost of the camera by itself as a standalone purchase. Ridiculously overpriced.
The video is decent, but I have seen better from some of the competitors in this price range. I did see a bit more of a fisheye effect than expected and it was far too annoying for my liking.
There is no local store option nor is any cloud storage included without a subscription. Yes, yet another subscription plan.
In conclusion, I cannot recommend the Philips Security Cam for most people. This is the first Philips product that I feel let me down a bit and I really did want to like it, but there are smart video cams that already do a better job at a much lower cost. And that is the real rub, there is already so much competition in the smart video cam market – where does Philip think they are going to fit in this late in the game? I know they are trying to build a security system into their ecosystem but there is nothing special here and Philip has to offer a more compelling product than just another 1080P video cam with a burdensome and expensive subscription plan.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Punches way above its weight class.
on June 30, 2024

The SteelSeries Arctis Nova 5P is one of the latest “entry premium level” headsets from the company that has brought so many great award-winning headsets. I put quotations around entry premium level because this has lost meaning with SteelSeries headsets – they are simply that good. Let's take a look at the most important details -
Comfort and fit
The first thing I noticed was the fabric covered ear cups. Many of SteelSeries competitors use a faux leather or plastic covering that I always find hot or do not hold up. The Arctis Nova 5P goes in the other direction with a high-quality fabric on perfectly sized earcups that rotate for easy storage and a better fit. The grip on your head is not too tight and may slip on people with smaller heads. Overall, it fit me quite well, but I can see it being a bit off for people with giant heads because of where the head band is between the two sides of the headset. For me, I thought the Arctis Nova 5P is lightweight, very comfortable and just right.
Fit and finish
While the Arctis Nova 5P has an above average look and feel, it is all plastic. That is not a surprise at this price point, but you can see potential points of failure and I wonder how well it will hold up with younger, more aggressive users.
Battery –
In a word – ridiculous. I could not kill it. It is rated for 60 hours, and it still has a charge after two weeks of using it. It does not have swappable batteries, but I do not think you need it considering how long the internal batteries last.
Sound and voice –
Game sound was clear and rich across most frequencies. Not a lot of bass but acceptable. I noticed some brassiness on the higher pitched sounds and gun fire but not too bad. For my gaming, I need clarity more than anything else and the Arti The mic is super clear and there were zero issues with voice. By design, there is no foam on the mic so it can retract into the headset. The one complaint I have is the mic boom moves too easily, I would prefer the boom to be a bit more rigid.
I am not going to go into the nitty gritty proprietary features and marketing points. You can see that on BestBuy’s detail page. The bottom line is this is a great headset that loses star because I am not sure how well it will hold up for young users. Putting that aside, there are really no major downsides. It sounds great, the controls are easy to access and super comfortable. The price point is low for what you are getting and I can see some Black Friday deals making the Arctis Nova 5P hard to beat.

Access multiple streaming apps with this Hisense 4K smart TV. The FALD display supports HDR imaging for vivid colors and excellent brightness. Connect multiple devices simultaneously using the four HDMI ports, and access the USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 ports to support storage device access. This Hisense 4K smart TV features Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and Ethernet connectivity for increased versatility.
 

The specs say the tv with stand is 11.1 in. deep. I would like to put the tv on a fireplace mantle that is only 10 in. deep. Any chance the TV would still be stable if the stand overhung the end of the mantle by 1 in.?

No, I think the stand will be unstable. I measured between the two grommets on the stand legs and they are 10 1/4 inches. I think 10 in mantle would cause the TV to have a very good chance of tipping over.

My Sony clock radio is randomly going off in the middle of the night. I have it set at 5:30am. Why is it doing this?

You probably have the second alarm set by accident .

Just had a power failure - the screen went dark. But when the power came back - the time was accurate and alarm times were still set. Is that normal for the display to go away even with with battery backup?

Yes. Displays take a lot of energy so the battery is not intended to power the display.
