JLab Epic Air Anc True Wireless Earbuds are an overall decent set of earbuds.
We got them for our 12 year old son to use while listening to music or watching YouTube videos on his iPhone. The sound quality is outstanding with no delay in sound. They have a great battery life and charging is quick. The auto connect feature works perfectly as well as auto disconnect. The sensors work, however my son did have to disable that feature while outside riding his bike due to the wind constantly setting of the sensors. Auto pause also works too. He was able to change the settings to personal use with no problems. The app is very user friendly and easy to navigate.

My son especially likes the noise cancellation feature. He said it works perfectly when we ask him to do his chores.
He doesn’t really do much talking on his phone, but he did test the sound quality in a call and it sounds very crisp and he was able to talk without any issues. The earbuds are comfortable and they have a few different size tips to ensure the best fit and sound quality. Overall, he is very happy with the earbuds and the magnetic charging case. It has its own attached USB plug so you do not need an additional cord, just a cube to charge them. The case is also leather which looks nice and is comfortable if they are in your pocket. Hopefully, they hold up long term, but so far so good!

Overall, happy with the Bose Sports Sunglasses with Polarized Lenses. They are a good choice for bikers or runners who do not want to deal with earbuds or headphones while exercising. Maybe not the best choice for phone use or if around others.

The Ninja Foodi 6-in-1 8-qt. 2-Basket Air Fryer with DualZone Technology. The first air fryer with 2 independent baskets that let you cook 2 foods at once, not back-to-back like a traditional single-basket air fryer. With 6-in-1 versatility, you can Air Fry, Air Broil, Roast, Bake, Reheat or Dehydrate in each 4-qt zone for quick family meals. XL 8-qt capacity lets you cook mains and sides at the time, and now with Smart Finish Technology you can sync the settings from each zone so both foods cook accurately and finish together.

The Ninja Foodi 2 Basket Air Fryer is easy to use and incredibly easy to clean. This is my first experience using an air fryer and so far, I love it. Within a week, I made garlic shrimp with rosemary tomatoes which I tossed in angel hair pasta, chicken tenders with French fries and avocado fries. The air fryer is very easy to use and I love the dual baskets so you can make two different things at the same time. Cuts down on prep time and ensures everything is ready at the same time. It’s a very nice feature. I also really like how easy it is to clean. The non-stick surface washes off so easy even after cooking shrimp. The entire unit is also pretty light weight which means I can store it in my cupboard while not in use. I just place it on the counter to use and then put away when done. I can’t wait to try more recipes. They all sound so yummy and easy. Overall, I am very happy with the air fryer!

The Logitech G PRO X Wireless DTS Gaming Headset overall is a good headset.
Pros: Very comfortable, lightweight, great audio quality with crisp sound. Connects easily to PC and doesn't have latency. The long battery life also allows wireless mode to be used for hours on end without a charge.
Cons: Mic is a much lower quality than others. It is muffled and not as crisp as other headset mics and microphones in general. It doesn't connect to Xbox because Xbox requires a specific chip in the USB to connect to an Xbox. It works with Ps4 and docked Nintendo Switch, but doesn't work with undocked Switch or mobile devices. As a consumer, it would be incredibly helpful if the packaging clearly stated what this headset is and is not compatible with.
Overall, the sound quality is very good and my son has been using them for distance learning for school with his Chromebook. The headset is very comfortable for extended use during class and the mic is good enough for the teacher and other students to hear him. He said they are so comfy that he forgets he has them on. They easy connected wirelessly to the Chromebook. Now, if they also worked with his Xbox, they would be perfect.

G915 TKL is a new class of wireless mechanical gaming keyboard with three selections of low-profile GL switches and pro-grade 1 ms LIGHTSPEED wireless. Capable of delivering up to 40 hours of non-stop gaming on a full charge. Fully customizable per-key and advanced LIGHTSYNC RGB technology to synchronize lighting with any content.
Posted by: JulieC

Day 1, First Impressions:
The G915 TKL is a huge step up from my older keyboard. This keyboard is the TKL variant, which means it is smaller and gives me more space for my mouse and anything else on my desk. It also has a volume wheel which makes adjusting the volume really simple. It has Pause/Play, Volume Mute, Skip forward, and skip backward keys for music and other forms of media. The brightness adjust is useful if you start to feel eyestrain from the keyboard's brightness, as well as helps keep the battery alive longer. The setup was extremely simple. Turn the keyboard on, plug in the USB connector, and press the LIGHTSPEED button at the top. The switches included (GL Clicky) feel amazing when typing and gaming, and are satisfying to listen to. They are also not too loud. The key caps are much smaller than a normal keyboard, which takes some getting used to at first, but after 30 minutes to an hour they feel perfect. The RGB lighting is vibrant and can be dimmed (Mentioned Earlier) and it can be changed using the G Hub Software. It was instantly recognized by the G Hub Software and easy to customize. Can be run either wired or wireless. Both the lighting and the overall delay is almost exactly the same no matter which way you are using the keyboard. The Bluetooth function works as intended, and connected to my phone with ease. Also works for anything else that uses Bluetooth devices. Feels durable and is lightweight compared to other keyboards, making it easy to take with you. Reactiveness of the keys is very quick and will be tested later to get a better estimate, but to the eye it looks to be near instant. Has a compartment on the back of the keyboard for the USB piece to be safely stored while charging/use in wired mode to help prevent loss of the USB. Zero complaints and overall an amazing first experience!

Day 2, Tests and Other Thoughts (Wired/Wireless):
The keyboard in both wired mode and wireless mode has around a 1ms response time, and you can't notice the delay at all by eye alone.

First con: the buttons (F1-F12) are in groups of 4 rather than in a row, making it harder to do certain things in games like Minecraft (Change The Perspective and Whatnot).
Battery Life:
So far the battery hasn't gone down past 80% and is working perfectly. The auto dim feature works great! It keeps the batteries at a low usage, and extends the life they have.

Media Keys and Other Additional Keys:
Media keys work great and do what is expected of them, and I didn't realize how useful media keys are until I got this keyboard. The mute all audio button is a great way to quickly stop all audio rather than taking headset off or using the volume wheel to cut audio. The dim button helps save on battery life when not needed.
Gaming mode is a great way to disable unneeded keys, but I don't use it too often. It is still useful. Bluetooth button works as expected, and it turns on the Bluetooth function.

Day 3, Daily Use So Far:
No issues with connections have happened yet, and the keyboard works as intended every time it turns on. Battery life is still great and hasn't gone lower than 60%, which is very impressive given the 40 hour lifespan at full brightness. Daily use with the added media keys and volume wheel has been amazing and allows me to keep to what I am doing without doing a ton of extra steps.

Day 4, Percentage Checking:
I started the day with 65% battery life at 8:50am. At 1:50pm, the battery is at 51% without taking a break. Within 5 hours, only 14% was lost. I will be fully charging this keyboard tonight to test the full extent of the battery life the next day. Basically leaving it on with lights at full brightness for the whole day.

Starting today once the keyboard reaches 100%, I will leave on the keyboard, in use or not, to test battery life.

The Skullcandy Sesh Evo True Wireless In-Ear Headphones are great. They are comfortable to wear for long periods of time and do not feel as if they will fall out. My 11 year old son easily charged them and learned how to operate them quickly. He used them on an 8 hour car ride and the charging case never needed to be recharged. He simply put the earbuds back in the case to recharge them periodically. They have great sound quality for listening to music through an iPhone or watching YouTube videos. They also do a good job blocking out outside noise even in the car. They are easy to operate as well. The only negative thing he noticed is sometimes the sound lags when watching YouTube videos so the voice doesn’t exactly match the video. Overall, they are great portable earbuds that can easily be charged in the case with adequate sound and comfort.

Theragun Elite Handheld Percussive Massage Device is wonderful to use on sore muscles after a workout. We found it easy to set up and use. Highlights are as follows:
- It is a great device with a very sturdy carrying/travel case.
- Extremely quiet motor that is not annoying or off putting.
- 5 interchangeable attachments that are easy to remove and
reattach.
- The new app has great features and it's simple to use the
Bluetooth presets that walk you through the massaging routines.
- The battery life seems great without needing to constantly
recharge the unit.
- Extremely quiet motor that is not annoying or off putting.
- 5 interchangeable attachments that are easy to remove and
reattach.
- The new app has great features and it's simple to use the
Bluetooth presets that walk you through the massaging routines.
- The battery life seems great without needing to constantly
recharge the unit.
The only negative thing, we initially received a defective unit that had a dark display screen. It was very dim and difficult to see in any light. The customer support (Helen C.) at Theragun was incredibly responsive! She didn’t hesitate to provide a replacement, and ask for our feedback. The new device showed up in less than a week. Now the display is bright and easy to read!
Overall, the Theragun Elite is a great product and provides soothing massage through various speed and types of vibration. The app is interactive and helpful in guiding the user to which body part to focus on and for the duration. The 5 interchangeable attachments offer varying degrees of pressure and allow you to concentrate on different parts of the body.

Momentum True Wireless 2 Noise Cancelling Earbud Headphones are great for those working out or working from home. They are very easy to set up and have incredible sound along with comfort.
They fit snug and stay firmly in the ear while actively working out, even during a 1 hour run.
They fit snug and stay firmly in the ear while actively working out, even during a 1 hour run.
The Transparent Hearing and Active Noise Cancellation features work great in a home office environment while taking calls. In fact, a co-worker was surprised the call was on wireless earbuds and not a cell phone, due to the clear sound quality. The touch control features are very sensitive and easy to use while typing, talking on the phone or running.
The magnetic feature within the charging case guarantees the earbuds won’t accidentally fall out when opening the case. And, it makes storing them easier too. The battery life so far has been great, no issues there.
Overall, I would recommend the Momentum True Wireless 2 Noise Cancelling Earbuds for those utilizing them for work or recreation. The sound quality, easy of operation and comfort are exactly what you would expect from a high end pair of wireless earbuds.

Build your muscles anywhere at any time with this lightweight Gorilla Bow travel resistance trainer. The compact, lightweight design ensures easy portability, and compatibility with a huge range of exercises helps tone muscle groups across your body. This Gorilla Bow travel trainer includes free video tutorials to get you started.
Posted by: JulieC

The Gorilla Bow Travel Resistance Training Kit is an okay piece of workout equipment. My husband works out everyday and was looking for a compact system that can be used at home and while traveling. He said the bands could be a little stronger to offer more resistance, but for everyday they are fine. He did mention multiple repetitions are needed to feel the desired effect. The kit itself is easy to use and pretty straightforward. Even our 11 year old tried it and was able to use it with supervision. The only negative is that the bands come with a travel bag, but the bar doesn’t. It is available as an additional purchase, but since it is a travel kit, it would be nice if it came with the rest of the kit. Otherwise, it is an okay system for the money.

The Alienware Gaming Desktop is exactly what my avid 13 year old gaming teenager wanted for his gaming needs. He is very happy with the amount of storage this computer has which allows for more games and apps without taking up all the storage space. He plays Fortnite, Minecraft, Portal 1-2 and Titanfall 2 mostly and has no storage or lag issues with the Alienware Desktop. It has enough RAM to play higher quality games with no lag or the need to restart after freezing like with his old computer. The graphics are amazing and can go up to 112 FPS and there is no screen tearing. It has fast start up after you shut it down which is nice. The apps and games also open very quickly. The unit itself is a compact PC case with great air intake and output. The RGB on the case is vibrant and matches perfectly with his light up headset. There are a lot of USB ports so you can use anything that has a USB with ease. Overall, he is very happy with the Alienware Gaming Desktop and highly recommends it for gamers!
