Amazing sound quality at the right price!
on July 5, 2017
Posted by: AKK1
This review is for model JBUDSPROBT-BLK-BOX
The sound quality of this little headphone is AMAZING, bass, mid, and high ranges are all great, this is exactly what you need for every day calling and excersise. At this price point, nothing in the market under $100 compares to it.
I compared it to the sound quality of my JBL, and my Huawei mate9 headphones, and this one beats them easily.

Bluetooth connection took less than 10 seconds and it is paired and in working condition.
It also works with multiple connected devices to your phone, I got it connected to my phone while my Samsung Gear S3 frontier was connected to my phone as well with no issues at all.

The packaging is good, and you get many attachments to fit your specific ear size.
I have been using them for about an hour and a half now and the battery is still good to go.
The package has a clip also, and a micro usb cable to charge it.
There is an app to use with the headphone but I did not find any reason to download it.

I also tested the distance, and I can say it worked perfectly within 20 feet and 2 walls away from the phone.
I recommend these headphones to anyone, for work out or phone call to kids listening or watching stuff on their tablets in the car.. The sound with these is as clear as any high end wireless headphones.
I can’t attest for durability yet, but I sure won’t be sad if I lost them, and if I do, I am going to purchase a pair from the same model.

My great little Barista @ home!

This coffee/ Espresso/ Cappuccino maker is every coffee lover dream!
Pros:
- Tiny, yet powerful! Can fit in the smallest kitchens without killing huge space.
- Drip coffee is as good and fast as any good coffee make, you get hot plate to keep the carafe warm for 2 hours as a standard, and you also get to change this setting. You can also schedule programs to get your cup of Joe anytime you want! It comes with a permanent filter, but I would still use paper filers as they are less messy and I find them better for my taste.

- Making Espresso is very easy, not time consuming and the machine is actually easy to clean afterwards. It comes with 2 coffee filters: small, and large, for one or two espresso cups at a time. Espresso is delivered using dual nozzles for better surface cream experience. The filters can use ground or ESE pods. The machine’s top works as a cup warmer! Yes, you heard it right. It stays warm when Espresso button is on to keep your cups warm and ready for use.
- Milk frother/ Cappuccino maker is very easy to use, very easy to clean, and it works just fast and great! Push a button, when the light turns on, use the dial to froth, and that’s IT!
- I must point out that this machine is very easy to use, and the instructions manual is one of the easiest manuals to read and understand among the hundreds of manuals I have read in my life.
Every step has a diagram, and then explanation.

- The machine is very good looking, although parts of it are made of plastic, but hey that’s easier to clean.
- The price of this machine is just right! It is not expensive at all, yet the experience feels like you’re getting your coffee at your favorite coffee place. I couldn’t be happier with a home coffee maker.
- Filling the machine with water for both drip, and espresso is very easy and accessible. Whoever designed it did a great job.
Cons: I’ll be drinking way more coffee than I used to be.
I totally recommend this coffee maker to anyone who loves coffee or wants to discover the world of different flavors and types of coffee this machine has to offer.

Good sound quality but overpriced
on May 31, 2017
Posted by: AKK1
This review is for Sony sound bar model HTCT290
the sound quality is very good, and the finishing is what you would expect from Sony brand name, and thats exactly why it is overpriced as well.
The subwoofer bass quality is amazing and more than enough for a home theater sound quality in an apartment.
The pictures show the sound bar under my 65 inch screen and the subwoofer in the center of the media center table.
the sound bar hook up was easy and the sub woofer connects to the sound bar wirelessly. it also comes with a remote control that can change the sound mode between movies, and music. and you can also control the subwoofer volume by the remote.
the sound bar can be hooked up to multiple devices and has bluetooth capability to pair and play music using your phone.
You can also mount the sound bar to the wall and the package contains a drawing of the sound bar to help fix it on the wall and drill in the right place.
all in all, this is a great sound bar if it was priced between $150 to $175.

Elegant & smart dimmer
on May 7, 2017
Posted by: AKK1
the new wemo wifi smart dimmer is a well designed, sturdy and somewhat easy to install dimmer.
I had some trouble replacing an older light switch with this one only because I live in an old apartment where the hole in the wall was somewhat narrow and barely enough to jam a normal single light switch in. the wemo dimmer is almost twice as wide and deep compared to a normal light switch, which required some DIY digging to make the hole a bit bigger to have enough space for the dimmer and the wires (again, I live in a place that is old and this problem should not exist in newly built homes). other than that, this is a very easy to do project that should take no more than 10 minutes all in all. the dimmer has 4 wires that should be connected: ground, load, line & neutral. and the maker was nice enough to include stickers to mark your wires while you install the dimmer.
after installing I went to the wemo app which I already use to connect to my smart coffee make from Mr. Coffee, found the dimmer and VOILA! its working. the dimmer worked perfectly, the lights are easy to calibrate, and you can schedule an on off program to make it turn on and off as you please.
the dimmer also works with google assistant which I also use.
finally, this new gadget works very nicely, and it is as good as my Phillips Hue (which I use in my living room). and I would recommend it to anyone who is looking to smarten his/her home.

Gaming Beast!
on April 12, 2017
Posted by: AKK1
This gaming desktop from HP (Omen 870-224) is awesome all over. Lets talk aesthetics first:
-The case is elegant, with very nice ambient lights, and above all, its not your average bulky gaming case, but it gives you all the options of expansions you expect from a high end expandable gaming case.
-It is also super silent although it has giant fans.
Expansion and ports available:
-The mother board is the Odense 2-K with the H170 chipset which is UATX form factor.
-It has 2 DDR4 slots for Ram, this desktop comes with one slot used by an 8 GB DDR4 Ram, so you can add more.
-The CPU is the latest Core I5-7400, also expandable to the newest I7
-It has a 1 TB SATA HDD with 7200RPM installed (you can add more as you wish. (I will be swapping the hard drive with 2 SSD drives with 480 GB capacity each)
- The board is also packed with a very advanced BT/ Wireless/ Gigabit network card.
- The case has 7 USB ports, 4 of them are USB3
- 3 HDMI ports- 2 on the MB and 1 on the VGA card (this one comes with a true 4K resolution output)
- 7 in 1 memory card reader
- The display card is the mighty NVIDIA GeForce GTX1060 (3GB DDR5) that comes with a dual link DVI port and 3 display ports & 1 4K HDMI output port.
- Your everyday DVD writer (vertical position)
Performance:
This is where things gets AMAZING!
I hooked the case to my 65 inch 4K TV via HDMI cable plugged into the VGA card, using a wireless keyboard and touchpad from Logitech to turn this gaming pc into a Gaming/ Media center at home.
The most noticeable thing beside the amazing performance of this piece of beauty is how silent it is. The case is well built and ventilation is very well designed. The case has a huge 500 WATT power supply, and a fan mounted on the back of the case, in addition to the fan and heat sink installed on the VGA card itself. With all that, when playing really demanding games with all display features turned on to the max, this PC remained silent.
I have been using the PC for a couple of days now and It is easily offering a matching performance to my PS4 and beating my PS3 with ZERO lag or any other issues.
The 4K experience is also mind blowing when using the PC instead of my smart Tv’s own engine.
I have not yet tested the GTX 1060 3D video performance, but I am sure it will be great.

This PC is customizable, and can last at least another 3 years of gaming as is, and when needed you can upgrade the VGA, CPU, Ram, and HDD. This will give you another 3 years of high performance at least.
I am very happy with this PC and I totally recommend it to anyone who is into gaming and have a relatively small space for a case.
The Omen comes with a wired keyboard and mouse.

Not a perfect solution
on March 15, 2017
Posted by: AKK1
The Weboost installation was very easy, instructions were very clear and the items in the package had numbers on them to show what step to do first. u need to test the signal to find the best window to place the main station, then place the second unit inside while keeping them both facing the same direction. I got about 10% better results from what I used to get before installing. although the main station was placed in a very good spot (I measured the signal) but for 10% better reception, its not worth dropping that kind of money to buy this product.

This thing would blend anything!
on December 23, 2016
Posted by: AKK1
before the arrival of this little monster i was kind of sceptical of what will it be able to do, I expected it to be good for making smoothies, and maybe chop some greens. What i DID not expect is how multifunction this blender is and the amount of accessories it comes with!
it comes with 3 different size smoothie tumblers with 3 caps to make them a complete set of 3 tumblers!! there is no machine anywhere else that can be utilized this much!
you can make smothies, chop greens, make dough, and meat. the options are endless, and to add a cherry on top, they included a book (not a booklet) for recipes of foods you can prepare with the blender.
the only downside i can think of is the main bowl, it could be a bit bigger if you want to make any type of meal portion for more than 2 people.

the most user friendly router in the market
on December 8, 2016
Posted by: AKK1
First of all i would like to say that this router can be setup by a third grader!. Yes, this is how easy setting up this router set is.
Pros:
- The first router that can be visible at any place without being ugly. It is small, and elegant.
- again setup is very easy! can all be done using your cell phone.
- very stable and good performance.
- a lot of options and controls using just your cell phone.
- expandable (you can as many nodes as you need to cover more space, all added nods get the settings from the first nod that was setup) using mesh technology.

cons:
- price: it should be priced cheaper as a set (there are so many great options for that price or even less)
- no usb ports
- no Mu-Mimo support.
- if you want to cover a relatively big apartment you will need the set, one router will not be enough.

at the end I believe that google wifi is a great option for people who aren't confident enough to setup a normal router.
