As long as your TV can handle it, this Player will upscale your content to perfection, complete with its own set of visual settings! Its hard to tell which is truly performing when playing hi-end DVDs, but when it comes to playing older, lower-format materials, this DVD player is clearly in control! Have not tested the 3-D features since my current TV does not have that feature (my new one probably will), but everything else seems to work great.
Would definitely recommend, even if just for the upscaling alone!

Best Mouse I've Ever Used
on July 12, 2017
Posted by: RedOmen
I honestly didn't think i would be impressed by a mouse, but this one is fun to use, and has more features than I've been able to use yet!
Battery power is great and the mouse appears to be able to track across almost ANY surface. I've used it on my knee, a bunched up blanket (don't ask), and various other surfaces with excellent tracking. The funnest part of the mouse is the roller wheel in the center. It can switch between a free-spin mode and a standard click-by-click tracking mode. As i am a PC gamer, this flexibility comes in particularly handy, as does its ability to connect to a PC via blue tooth or through a standard cordless USB dongle. The back-FWD buttons on the mouse come in handy as well, and can be assigned for other purposes as needed.
I have not had a chance to use some of the other features, like connecting to multiple PCs SIMULTANEOUSLY and transferring files directly from one PC to another through the mouse, but those I see as just added bonuses on top of what is already an absolutely FANTASTIC mouse. There is no need to hesitate. Buy one NOW! You will be glad you did!

Mixed feelings (compared to traditional razor)
on May 27, 2017
Posted by: RedOmen
I have typically used a razor & shaving cream to shave in spite of occasionally using an electronic shaver when I am extra hairy in the face (I frequently wear my facial hair in different styles at varied lengths, although I never go for the all-out lumberjack look; I also sometimes go totally clean shaven). This shaver states in the instructions that it may feel very different on your face and will take time to adjust tothe feeling; The instructions were very accurate, disturbingly so.
First, I would say that past electric shavers I've used have felt good against my skin, but have typically not been able to cut as close as a traditional razor. I believe this Panasonic is trying to emulate the feeling of having a razor against your skin (especially the touch-up trimmer built into it), but instead, it creates what i can only describe as a feeling that it is actually "gripping/holding/pulling up" your skin in the razor as yo move it across your face. I have NEVER felt that kind of feeling with ANY kind of shaver, and although it does not hurt, it definitely feels uncomfortable and worrisome. Since my facial hair does not grow at a rate that requires daily shaving, this feeling against my skin would definitely take an extended amount of time to adapt to.
Skin feelings aside, my biggest problem with this razor is that it does not get as close of a cut as you would think considering how it feels against the skin. I found it to be fine as an accompanying tool to a traditional razor, but much too uncomfortable against the skin and not a close enough cut/shave to replace using a traditional razor altogether.
For someone who is coming from traditional razor use, this might not be the product for you if you are looking for an electronic replacement for your razor, however, if you are just looking to supplement or prep your traditional razor use, or to have an electronic tool to cut your facial hair quicker when you have grown it out, this performs fine in spite of the skin gripping feeling.
I would NOT recommend this to anyone who is coming from traditional razor usage that also shaves daily or multiple times a day, due to the skin gripping feeling and the inability to get an absolutely clean close shave. Everyone else looking for a supplemental shaving tool should be fine with this. Would only recommend to friends who already use an electric shaver as their sole/primary shaving tool.

Solid Speaker/Crisp Sound, except for the Bass...
on March 26, 2017
Posted by: RedOmen
I am definitely a fan of Sony products in general, especially when it comes to sound reproduction, however, I think their effort with this bluetooth speaker fell short in its main attraction, the Bass.
The speaker has a solid sound overall, and it is very intuitive to operate, with device pairing and general device controls laid out in a user-friendly format. I've paired it with a few different devices, and it is the easiest/quickest to use of any of the bluetooth devices that I currently own (including some other Sony products).
When it comes to sound, it has a very clear crisp sound, with two exceptions. At higher volumes, the speaker sounds a bit muddy, although for its size, it still handles the higher volumes pretty well. The primary issue is that these speakers are billed as being "extra bass" bluetooth speakers, and although they do give better bass reproduction than average speakers in this size category, the bass does not capture the lower-frequency lows, leaving me as a bass-lover longing for more from a speaker that seems like it should be able to give me the full scale bass experience that I love.
For the more casual music listener that is either not concerned much with bass, or who plans to pair this with another speaker (a feature included on this unit), or someone who plans to use this for reasons other than music reproduction, this speaker will work fine. For die-hard bass lovers wanting a speaker that captures the lowest lows and produces them clearly at higher volumes, you will probably want to pass on this one, or grab 2 and pair them to get some extra umph with the bass (but if you are going to get two at full price, you may as well get a better-equipped speaker altogether).
I am giving this a 3, although it is more of a 3.5 (I'm rounding down since the main bass feature did not perform as well as expected). Not a bad speaker (especially for pure vocals), but there are better options out there (by Sony, JBL, and others) with a more balanced sound and stronger Bass. Would recommend to anyone not specifically looking for Bass.

Nice sound, in the right position...
on January 28, 2017
Posted by: RedOmen
I have had these for a few days now, and the sound is top notch for in-ear headphones. Blue tooth was easy to operate, and they come with a carrying pouch that can fit the charging cable and whichever set of ear covers you want to outfit these with (it comes with several different sizes of covers to fit these comfortably into your ear).
The one drawback stems from what it takes to hear the quality of the sound these phones produce. The covers for the ear buds are made of a rubber texture that does not do much in the way of comfort, and I actually found my ears hurting a bit as I tried the different sizes of covers to position these in my ear in a way that was comfortable and still allowed the full sound of these to come through.
Overall, If you are just planning to use these while working out (which is my plan, so that I can avoid any damage to my comfy, plush, over-ear headphones that I wear for pleasure) or for very short stints, these will work just fine and get the job done without sacrificing much in the way of sound quality. If you are looking for something for extended upcoming travel, or for activities that may require a longer duration, you may want to look elsewhere or at least try to identify more comfortable ear covers before you get these. I'd recommend these based on sound quality (JBL certainly knows sound!) but with caution for those looking for comfort. The ear covers may be durable, but certainly not as comfortable as the typical ear buds with foam covers, and quite a bit more taxing to find the "right" position to maximize the sound properly in both ears. Would rate a 3.8 if I could, but am rounding up to a 4 (not likely you will find earbuds with better sound).

The 20 hours of battery life provides plenty of listening pleasure, and this JBL Charge 3 Bluetooth speaker can also charge your cell phone.

Verified Purchase:Yes
If you are looking for bluetooth speakers with full, vibrant, heavy bass with depth, that are also capable and responsive enough to handle a virtual EQ, look no further than these, as all roads lead to this JBL speaker with impeccable sound quality.
I was browsing bluetooth speakers at bestbuy when I came across the sony cube, which impressed me enough to do some research on bluetooth speakers on the market in general. A few youtube outdoor sound-test videos later, I found myself enamored with the JBL Charge 3 and decided I had to have it. Crazy part is that as good and convincing as the sound test were online, they were NOTHING in comparison to the actual sound of these speakers once I got them home and used them in person! The absolute clarity and power of these speakers will blow you (and anyone else who hears them) away, as it did with my family and friends at our new years eve gathering. The sound could easily be mistaken for an actual full stereo system with woofer, and when you add in the fact that they are waterproof and provide about 20 hrs. of entertainment per charge, there is absolutely no reason to refrain from getting these. You can also pair it with another JBL if you want even more intense power from the system.
This was one of the best purchases I've made (next to a bluetooth Sony headphone set with Extra Bass) and I was able to get them for $82 . Do yourself a favor and get these ASAP! I Highly and Enthusiastically Recommend these speakers to all music lovers! JBL completely outdid themselves with this one!

Very fast flash drive, especially with an SSD equipped PC. The test of time is always my concern with these, as I have had drives randomly give out on me in the past. Hopefully this will last a reasonable amount of time, but so far, it appears to be a good buy for the price.

Unbelievable Bluetooth Performance!
on January 3, 2017
Posted by: RedOmen
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is one of the best purchasing decisions Ive ever made! Got these during Black Friday for $89 and I cannot believe the audio performance that they give! Very deep, rich bass and super responsive to an external equalizer to balance the sound as desired! No one believes how great these sound until I let them listen for themselves, and then they are struck with awe at the fact that this kind of sound is coming from a wireless device!
Battery life is exceptional at AT LEAST 20 hrs. per charge (I feel like I get more than that, but I've never let it completely die out). Traveled to San Antonio from Michigan via plane and this made my layovers to and fro a breeze, as I zoned out in complete musical immersion with these phones. Was fairly easy to learn how the bluetooth pairing works with these, and was able to pick up a case for these from Amazon.com. Phone usb charger works fine to charge these, and comes with audio cord for corded connection if desired (or needed if battery is low or dead). Tested the corded sound and it is still exceptional regardless of how you use them, bass and all.
Being budget-conscious, I would NEVER pay $200 for a pair of headphones, but i must admit that in this case, you would definitely get what you paid for if you did! They are definitely worth far more than the $89 I stole them for! ;)
These are EXCELLENT! HIGHLY RECOMMEND, especially if you can catch them on sale or are able to drop the $200!

Worked Great for First-Time Security Camera User!
on January 3, 2017
Posted by: RedOmen
This was my first venture into the world of wifi security cameras, and the Arlo Pro made that process very simple, user-friendly, and painless.
Set-up for these is very simple and consist of pretty much inserting batteries, synching cameras with the base (in a blue tooth type fashion), and downloading the phone app for ease of use. It took me all of 15-20 minutes to go from unboxing the equipment to viewing my live camera feeds right on my cell phone via the app (which is also extremely user-friendly, by the way!). The system comes with digital cloud service included, so I was able to literally start using the system right away.
I did not test the alarm, as there was a warning that it is so loud it could cause permanent damage if standing too close to it. All other features have worked as stated, with my favorite being that you can control everything from within the phone app, including on-demand digital recording & recording review. They could not have made this system simpler to install and use, especially for people like me who have not physically "mounted" the cameras but instead placed them in strategic locations as-is.
I cannot speak to how this stacks up to other systems on the market, but as a first-time user, this felt great to use and I would highly recommend it to anyone wanting the benefits of an easy-to-use security system that can literally be monitored anywhere with cell phone/internet access.
Im giving it 4 stars to account for my lack of experience with other systems of this type.

Solid Laptop, with a few quirks
on November 23, 2016
Posted by: RedOmen
Verified Purchase:Yes
Decided to purchase this after my previous laptop gave out on me. My experience has been good overall, but not problem-free.
It can run modern games on higher settings and has fluid power in both the CPU and GPU departments, however, there does seem to be some sort of conflict between the two PUs, as there are times when games have a massive stutter effect as the frame-rate drops very low. So far, I've been able to get the frame rate back to normal by unplugging and/or reinserting the power supply while gaming. This does not happen every time, but happens enough to note.
Seems to run CPU-intensive games better when the keyboard backlight is off. The backlight also seems to impact the computers ability to sleep or hibernate properly, and seems to make it run on the warmer side when playing demanding games (not hot, but quite warm to the touch). May be Windows 10 related, as my previous laptop (which was an HP with no keyboard backlight) also started to have some sleep/hibernation issues once i upgraded it to windows 10.
I've been using my Omen for a couple months now, for mixed use beyond just gaming, and it has performed well overall, even on most games (the above quirks usually occur temporarily, only on games with high CPU demands, and usually early on. It does not happen every time, but when it does happen, once you move past the initial glitch, CPU-heavy games run smoothly without issue for several hours of continuous gameplay). CPU and NVIDIA GPU drivers (and possibly windows 10) are the most likely culprit for any momentary gaming issues, so I hope that the glitch will be resolved completely without workarounds, however, the existence of the glitches along with the backlight issue prevent me from rating this more than four stars.
I'd recommend this for the price point and combination of features, hardware and overall performance, but a protection plan is an absolute MUST if you buy this.
