If esports is your calling, answer it with the ultimate wireless headset for competitive play. Designed to meet the needs of Team Razer’s finest, get the complete package of crystal-clear audio, advanced noise isolation, and all-day comfort with the multi-award-winning Razer BlackShark V2 Pro.
Posted by: JulieC
The Razer BlackShark V2 Pro Gaming Headset is a major step-up for Razer's gaming headsets. It an improvement on many of the issues in both the previous versions of the BlackShark, and their entire lineup of gaming headphones as a whole.
Out of the box, the headset is visibly high quality and it is very comfortable, using a type of memory foam as opposed to traditional foam that molds to the wearer's head, feeling like there is nothing on top of the user at all. Wearing this headset for long periods of time is a pleasant experience, and I never felt the need to take off the headset because of soreness, unlike many other headsets.
The headset has multiple modes while in use, allowing for either Bluetooth connections to your computer or mobile device, while also supporting a wireless dongle that allows for long range and high quality connectivity. While the wireless dongle was in use, I was able to use both the microphone and hear my computer while being several rooms away, which is very useful if someone needs to get up for a snack or even listen to music while in another room for a while. Driver setup was also straightforward, and much of the downloads were directly accessible through the Razer Synapse application. This is also used to control the different audio profiles or microphone settings of the headset. Without tampering with the audio or mic settings, the sound quality is already very high, and there are no concerns of mine while listening to Spotify, YouTube, or while playing video games.
The microphone is easily the best feature of the headset, sounding like a studio microphone rather than a traditional headset microphone. The clarity and pure sounds from the microphone are comparable to expensive desk-mounted microphones, and it allows for high quality voice calls and recordings.
The battery life on the headset is very long lasting, allowing me to use the headset all day with many hours to spare before going to sleep. The headset is rated for 70+ hours of battery life, and the USB-C cable charges the headset to full power in a very short amount of time.
Overall the headset is very high quality for what one can expect from a Razer product, and I will be using this headset as my daily driver moving forward.

An award-winning teeth whitening kit that combines maximum strength teeth whitening serum with LED light technology to deliver professional-level whitening with virtual zero sensitivity. The at-home teeth whitening kit drastically whitens teeth up to 8 shades in just 9 minutes a day. As the first OTC whitener to focus on alleviating teeth sensitivity, it’s enhanced with potassium nitrate to help block teeth sensitivity and hydroxyapatite to help repair the enamel while whitening!

The Snow Diamond Teeth Whitening Kit is very easy and convenient to use. I am a coffee drinker and have found my teeth have yellowed over the years. I was excited to try this LED light technology to see if it would whiten my teeth. While I didn’t receive the results I was anticipating just yet, I feel with a little more time I might achieve the teeth whiteness I desire.
First of all, set up and use is super easy. The hardest thing I found was opening the plastic case that holds the mouthpiece. It was very hard to open. I finally got it open by squeezing the sides fairly firm. Once open, it was very easy to “paint” on the clear gel, apply chapstick, put the mouthpiece in place and plug it into my phone. I was able to surf the net, watch tv and even play games on my phone while using it. I elected to use the device for the full 30 minutes each time, but it says you can do it for as little as 9 mins. I did this for the suggested 21 days and here is what happened.
My teeth do not look to be that much brighter overall, but I do notice the color of my teeth are more uniform from top to bottom. My teeth now appear to have more consistent color. I hope with extended use my teeth will begin to look even more white. Prior to using the Snow whitening kit, the tops of my teeth appeared more yellow than the bottoms. Now, the tops appear to be closer to the color on the bottom. I take this as a positive. The kit comes with 75 days worth of gel, so I will continue to use the kit and hope it continues to work.
Overall, the mouthpiece is comfortable and the gel taste ok. Chapstick is a must as your lips will dry out quickly with out it. I used it with my iPhone, but there are several different adapters to use with different devices. It does look a little funny when I’m your mouth (my kids called it my tooth lightsaber), but it is not uncomfortable or painful to use. I will continue using it to enhance my smile.

The Dyson Corrale Straightener, now with a new Travel charging dock that folds to stow in your bag for an easier charging solution at home or on the go. The only straightener with flexing plates that shape around your hair, gathering it neatly together on each pass. This extra control means you can achieve the same style but with less heat, and therefore half the damage¹. It also means enhanced styling, for reduced frizz and fewer flyaways². The Dyson Corrale Straightener can be used corded, or cord-free to provide extra versatility and freedom while styling. Before using, charge your straightener to 100% to maximize performance.

The Dyson Corrale Hair Straightener is a really good hair straightener with a lot of great features. It is cordless with a rechargeable battery. I love how quickly it heats up and you can select one of three temperature settings. There is also an airplane setting, so that the it can be transported safely in an airplane.
I used the straightener on my medium long hair after it had air dried. The straightener quickly took my hair from wavy and slightly frizzy to sleek and straight. I also love how the ends of my hair can easily be curled with the rounded barrel of the straightener. Others tend to make the ends more of a box curl. The hair can be straightened very close to the scalp without burning the skin. In fact, I never felt my hair or head get too heated on the middle setting. I really enjoyed using it cordlessly, since you don’t have to work around the cord. I did try it while it was plugged in and the cord is a little cumbersome since it’s so heavy. I also like the stand it comes with to store it while not using or charging.
My only complaint really is the heaviness and circumference of the straightener. It’s a very heavy styling tool, so when straightening your whole head, it may cause fatigue for your arm/hand. If used for touch ups or to curl under ends of already straightened hair, it would be fine. The barrel is really big too and since I have small hands, it was slightly uncomfortable.
Overall, I do like how it works and the cordless feature is awesome. It also comes with a heat resistant pad that it also a case and the already mentioned stand. Not sure how much it would travel with it when flying, but I know I can if I needed to.

The T3 AireBrush Duo Interchangeable Hot Air Blow Dry Brush with Two Attachments, did a pretty good job drying and straightening my naturally wavy, medium long hair. Overall, I like the ease of using the blow dry brush. The only thing I didn’t really like was the size of the base of the handle. It’s very large and round, so with my smaller hands it was slightly cumbersome to use. The settings were easy to use and I liked that you can adjust the heat settling, air strength and ionization.
The flat brush made me hair very soft and straight. I had washed my hair and put it up in a bun for work. Then, I came home and took it down to then blow it dry. I think my hair was still slightly too wet since it took awhile to get my hair completely dry (especially at the roots). In the future, I will let my hair air dry just a little longer. I preferred the round brush to the flat brush because it like to turn my ends under. But, if I’m going for an untra-straight look, I will use the flat brush. The entire unit is quite big and bulky, so that makes storing it tough. I do like how it doesn’t get too hot to burn your hands while using. Overall, I think it is an ok option for straightening and drying simultaneously. If I need a quicker blow dry, I would probably use something else.

Life Note 3i noise canceling earbuds deliver the perfect balance of comfort, performance and value. At work, at home, and everywhere in between, Active Noise Canceling, 40hrs playtime & App Customization make the Life Note 3i the ultimate audio companion for an on-the-go life.
Posted by: JulieC
The Soundcore Life Note 3i earbuds have both pros and cons regarding their usability, sound, and connectivity through my phone. These earbuds are comfortable and stay in your ears through exercise and music sessions, allowing you to enjoy media anywhere you go.
The battery life of these earbuds is also great, lasting me on average about 8-10 hours of constant use, lasting longer if breaks were taken. The case also holds a good charge and fully replenishes the battery life of both earbuds in a short period of time relative to other earbuds I have used in the past. This ensures you won't need to constantly recharge the earbuds which is typically an annoyance I experience with other brands. Connections are also easy and the earbuds link to my phone the moment I take them out of the case. It is convenient and gets you started right when you put them in your ears.
My first complaint about this product is with the disconnections. Once you are finished listening to music, putting the earbuds in the case does not immediately cut off the connection, and they stay connected to your phone long after they are put away. This is a major flaw and I hope it can be improved upon in the future because it limits you from using your phone for media or phone calls without having to manually disconnect the earbuds several times until it turns off in the case.
Overall, these earbuds are a great budget pair and I definitely would recommend these to anyone, I just hope they resolve the connectivity issues they have had (both iPhone and Android).

More than just counting steps — Access key Halo health metrics like heart rate, Activity points, Sleep score, and on-demand blood oxygen levels on the Halo View color touch display.
Posted by: JulieC
The Amazon Halo View is a great budget fitness tracker and smartwatch that I recommend to anyone who is interested in getting in shape and tracking their daily activities. It comes out of the box with a comfortable rubber wrist band and a very responsive screen that has no delays or any visual errors. The device has a slim design, and can be adjusted to comfortably fit while running, exercising, or sleeping.
The smartphone app quickly connected to the device during the setup process, and is able to collect the real-time data without any delays. You are able to set up different activities, schedules for those activities, timers and stopwatches, and even track how well your sleep is through the sleep tracking function the Halo provides.
It comes with a year subscription to the membership plan Amazon offers, giving you recommendations for food and other dietary changes that will help you get in shape quicker and easier.
The battery lasts for several days and can be quickly recharged while you are showering or getting ready in the morning, allowing you to use it throughout the week without worrying about the Halo dying while you are utilizing it.
The Halo also comes with many other useful features, such as night mode to keep your eyes less shocked when glancing down at the device, has a heart rate monitor that keeps track of how fast your heart is pumping, and it can even connect to your phone's text messaging service to quickly check texts without taking your phone out of your pocket. If you are someone who is very active and need a device to exercise and do physical activities with, this is definitely the product for you!

The Jabra Connect 5t Earbuds are great compact earbuds for personal use. They can be worn for every day use while listening to music and also during strenuous workouts or leisurely strolls.
The pros of these earbuds definitely outweigh the cons. First of all, and most importantly, they have great sound. Crisp and rich in tone with no static or sound loss while moving. They also have great bass. The noise cancelling feature is amazing. While listening to music, you can eliminate ambient noise and only hear what you want to hear without cranking up the loudness. The controls are easy to use and to switch back and forth from noise cancelling to non-noise cancelling.
Next, the fit is good. They come with multiple, changeable ear tips to ensure they fight snug and comfortable. They are also small, so you don’t have anything wrapping around the ear or hanging down in the way. The earbuds feel secure even when running or dancing around.
As for charging, the pad that comes with it is very easy to use and charged quickly. Simply set the case on the charging base and when the light comes on, you know it’s charging. The battery life lasts long between charges as well.
App set up was easy and quick and works fine. No issue with syncing to Bluetooth or turning on/off the earbuds.
The only cons is the small size of the earbuds. Since they are so small, they might be easy to lose. Especially if you take one out and set it down.
Overall, great earbuds for personal use. Would highly recommend them!

This is definitely a beginner drone. If you have high expectations, you’ll be disappointed.
Battery life is weak at best. Only 10 minutes per battery.
The camera wouldn’t connect to my iPhone 12pro, but did connect to my kid’s phones, iPhone 12max and Samsung Galaxy S22.
Wasn’t able to perform much of a review since most of my flying was just free flight without the phones. It’s extremely frustrating that it does not connect to my phone.
The battery cover is flimsy and will likely snap off.
The drone constantly needs to be “trimmed” to hold its position, as it constantly wants to drift.
When trying this drone for the first few flights, make sure to be in a wide open area, as the drifting will likely make the drone fly off into trees, and neighbors backyards if enough room isn’t available!
The controller seems to be sturdy and connects easily to the drone.
The little foam pads on the base will fall off quickly. Not sure why they are there.
I give it 2 stars out of 5.
