Really nice aside from one annoyance
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: swemoney
from Schaumburg, IL
Before I got this charging dock, I just had a wireless Qi charging disc on my nightstand and another stand where I could dock my watch. This has nicely replaced everything and I'm liking it a lot.
Setup was quick and easy, as you'd expect. The power plug connects to the back of the dock and then to your outlet and that's all there is to it. Set your phone vertically on the stand to charge and your watch sits nicely on the base against the watch charger.
The dock looks pretty nice, overall. The white is clean and has a nice gloss to it. Even when nothing is charging, it doesn't look like an eye sore or anything. There was only one, somewhat large, annoyance for me that may not affect you at all. My iPhone XS Max uses an official Apple leather case of a dark color. After only a couple of days using this dock, I started to notice the dock becoming scuffed with the leather. I haven't taken drastic measures to try and clean it but it doesn't just wipe off with a finger or anything. So my nice white dock has some black scuff marks on it already at the points where the phone rests.
Aside from that one visual glitch, everything else works pretty well and I'll probably continue to use it as my main bedside charger. I didn't test how quickly things charge because this is for when I go to bed so I don't need anything super fast. As long as things are charged up by time I wake up. Placing the watch and phone just feel like they "click" into place. The watch especially since it has that snap into the charger. Since the phone just lays vertically on the dock, there's no need to find the sweet spot to line them up. This just works everything time I place my XS Max onto the dock. I can't vouch for smaller phones but I would assume they'd all work just as well.
If you're looking for a pretty nice dock for both your watch and your phone that looks good (and maybe you don't have one of the official apple leather cases in a dark color) this is a pretty good buy. I'd recommend it even with the leather scuffs.

Does what it says on the tin

There isn't a whole lot to say about this charger as it's just that. A Qi wireless charger. It does what it's supposed to and, from my usage, does it pretty well. I've used it to charge my iPhone XS Max and, while I haven't done any scientific number timing, it does appear to charge my phone at a pretty decent speed.
Setup is what you'd expect from this kind of device. Remove the disc and the cable from the package and plug them into the USB to wall outlet included. Done! The disc looks very decent. Maybe a little bit thicker than I would like (this could just be required by the 10W faster chargers, though) but not too bad. There aren't any super obvious and obnoxiously bright lights either. Well designed.
While it's not confirmed that the XS Max actually supports the full 10W that this puts out, it does feel a bit faster than some of the normal wireless Qi chargers I've used with it. I didn't find it difficult to find the sweet spot on my phone with this charger so I've usually been able to put this in the right spot pretty quickly to get charging.
All and all, if you're looking for a good, fast, 10W wireless Qi charger for your phone, this one won't really disappoint you. Check your budget and see if this falls inside that.

Work pretty well for a cord cutter
on May 15, 2019

from Schaumburg, IL
I've lived off of only internet for a few years now. It's mostly easy to do with all of the streaming services you can subscribe to ala carte now instead of paying for a bunch of cable channels you'll never watch. The only issue you run into is watching live TV sometimes. Local sports and other time sensitive programming is often challenging. This antenna works pretty well for me. I'm in the suburbs. About 30 miles outside of the city so I understand that getting perfect OTA TV isn't always possible without a nice expensive antenna on the roof. But this one works probably better than I was expecting.
Setup was pretty easy as it just plugs into your normal coax inout on your TV. The actual largest hassle was getting behind entertainment center to add another USB plug to plug in the amplifier. After that, I just stuck the antenna pointing out of the window and scanned for channels on my TV.
Surprisingly, I got most of the channels I should get. The only channel I was missing was CBS (but it's one of the few network channels that I actually pay money for so I wasn't too concerned about that). I'm sure there are extra digital channels somewhere out there that I might be missing but nothing I was expecting to see (aside from CBS) was missing. I don't have a lot of options as far as where to put the antenna so I didn't move all around looking for the best location or anything. I'm actually convinced, if it was important to get CBS, I'd be able to use the lights on the front of the antenna to find a little better signal and pick that up too with some different positioning.
Picture quality shouldn't really be discussed here since all OTA signals are digital now but the channels I was able to scan into my TV seem very stable and I didn't notice any fluctuations in signal or dropping of the signal in my testing.
All in all, this antenna was better than I was expecting. I'm a firm believer in getting what you pay for. This one isn't the cheapest antenna around but it's certainly not the most expensive either. If it fits in your budget and you're in the 20-40 mile range from the city, you can probably use this one. From the box, I do see there are other options for people who live IN the city and people who need more range by mounting it on the roof. So pick the one that's right for you!

Great sound. Extra features kind of meh
on April 30, 2019
Posted by: swemoney
from Schaumburg, IL
I'll start by saying this speaker does sound great on it's own. It has a nice sound with some nice bass and it's great for playing music or listening to baseball (the 2 things I've used it for). If you want a small, portable speaker for playing music, this one is good.
That said, the extra features they advertise aren't really that great, so I wouldn't recommend buying this if you're only looking at the extra features. I'm talking specifically about the ability to link more than one in 2 different modes. It's not made clear what exactly each mode does, but I think the "party" mode just plays the same thing out of each speaker while the other mode turns 2 of them into stereo speakers. I have the previous model of this same speaker and I tried to get both of these modes to work (it was the main reason I wanted this speaker) and I got party mode to work once but one of the speakers sounded incredibly soft while the other one was really loud which made the effect almost non-existent. I was never able to get the stereo speaker mode to work.
The apps for these speakers are pretty terrible. There's 2 separate apps. One for controlling the lights which is a joke. It's really bad. Just use the stock lighting modes and don't worry about creating custom effects. It's painful and I don't think it's worth it. The lights on the device are cool and all, but this app is just really really bad. There's also another app for adjusting the sound and connecting to other speakers and such. This app isn't quite as terrible but I also had a terrible time trying to get the 2 speakers to talk to one another so I can't say it's great either. The other feature that's really bad and I can't ever see anyone using is turning it into a drum machine. You tap different sides of the speaker and it makes sounds. I can see people playing with it for about 2 minutes like I did and never using it again. Pretty sure if you want a sound machine and want to make music, there are much better ways to invest your money than this thing.
I like the overall look of this update to the speaker. The previous model has a hard speaker mesh coving the entire speaker. I wasn't a huge fan. This one goes with a matte rubber black for the non-speaker parts which I feel is a lot more appealing. That's going to be entirely subjective, though.
My overall impression is, it's still a great speaker if that's all you're looking for. The upgrade from the XB31 to XB32 feels non-existent aside from the better looks of the new speaker so I wouldn't recommend this if you're just upgrading from the previous model. Also, don't get this if you're looking forward to all the extra bells and whistles that are advertised. They really don't add anything. If you're looking for just a good sounding speaker and this one is in your budget, go for it.

Probably more printer than I need but I like it
on March 8, 2019
Posted by: swemoney
from Schaumburg, IL
This printer is a beast. My wife and I both have our own businesses. We aren't printing 100 pages a day or anything but we do get some use out of it. This OfficeJet replaced a pretty old DeskJet and I really like the upgrade. Could we have survived on the DeskJet for a while longer? Sure. Is it nice to have a fancy new toy? Definitely.
Setup was a breeze but it does require a smart phone. This usually isn't an issue, especially in a business setting but know it's a requirement. After signing in to your HP account (I think this is a requirement as well, but they may let you skip it. I don't remember) it allows you to email the configuration to other devices to set them up as well. It also warns you that if you don't install software on these other devices, you won't be able to print on them. But I was able to just detect the printer on my wifi and print without any real setup required. Maybe the software that was automatically installed by MacOS and Windows when I setup my deskjet was good enough to also use the OfficeJet. But the setup was pretty painless all in all.
Speed is pretty good. It's not blazing fast or anything. This isn't a laser printer or anything like that but for an inkjet, I think it prints plenty fast. Black only documents take no time at all. Color adds a little bit of extra time but it's really not bad.
I'm not sure how long this ink will last me yet. There's a new service where they send you ink when your printer is running low and they just charge you a monthly fee based on how many pages you print per month. Considering how much ink costs, we are very tempted to just go this route because the cheapest plan is $5/mo and some bar napkin math says it's probably cheaper annually than we would spend on new ink whenever we run dry.
The photocopier/scanner is pretty good. Really fast.
The multiple paper trays are also nice for storing extra paper or, I think you can put a different size paper in each tray and pick which one you want when you print (don't quote me on this as I haven't tried it yet).
All said, this is more printer than we really need but the extra bells and whistles are really nice and I know there are more software things that I haven't even discovered yet. I could see this being a much better investment in anyone who runs their own home/small business and just wants an upgrade in the printer department because they actually print a lot of things. So if you have the budget for this printer, I can definitely recommend it.

Seems to work well even if it's a slow process
on February 8, 2019
Posted by: swemoney
from Schaumburg, IL
I got this device so my wife and I could take the pain out of shaving/maintaining areas of our body. The largest downside we found right away was the lack of support for lighter hair colors which my wife falls into so she hasn't even given it a shot.
I've tried it for a couple of months now and it seems to work pretty well. I'm seeing decent results with continued use over time. It's a slow process so don't expect anything overnight or anything.
The instructions were pretty clear and easy to follow. It talks you through doing a test "zap" to see if your skin is going to react negatively to the treatment. Then, after a couple of days if everything looks good you're all set to continue treatments. I like the cautious approach here.
Using the device is pretty simple and automatic. Theres a sensor that gauges your skin tone so it knows how strong of a pulse to use. Then it's just a matter of making sure it's seated well on your skin (which the device also let's you know about) and flash away! Getting the gun seated just right on your skin can be a little finicky at times but I think it gets better over time and as you get used to it.
Overall, for the price of this device, I think it does a good enough job if you're looking for a long term solution to some problem hair areas you're experiencing... as long as you don't have light hair. If you're looking for quicker results, you might be stuck paying a lot more money to get your hair professionally removed.

Good charger, extra feature you might use
on January 3, 2019
Posted by: swemoney
from Schaumburg, IL
I'll just say this is a pretty nice charger. I used it on a long distance trip two ways and it did a great job of keeping the things we needed charged through the 10 hour trip each way.
I'll start with the design. For some reason, from the pictures of it, I thought it was going to be quite large. I'm not sure why this is. But it's not. It's probably perfectly sized for what it is. I sticks out a little bit but, unless your lighter jack is in a really weird spot, I don't think you'll have problems using this. The exception would be if your lighter jack is recessed quite a bit in some sort of notch where you wouldn't have a lot of room on any side since the USBs plug in 90 degrees from your jack. But I don't think most people will have an issue. It looks pretty sleek and fancy, actually. I was surprised for whatever reason but pleasantly so.
Setup was actually so much of a breeze, I did it in the car while the wife ran into McDonalds to get breakfast before our trip. It's as simple as downloading the app (you need to register for an account which is kind of annoying) and then just go through the few setup steps it presents to you. I recommend following along with the really short quick start guide that's included. The app found the charger right away and then it just asked me how I play audio to my car. I selected BlueTooth and that was it. I asked Alexa what time it was and her voice was heard over my speakers. There are options for other connection methods like audio cable which I assume would work just as well.
Using it is pretty easy too. I think background audio is just piped through the speakers via the app so you can use your phone as normally as you do. I was able to listen to podcasts the entire drive while also being able to ask Alexa questions at the same time. Audio gets ducked anytime Alexa is triggered and for her response. I actually didn't link this Alexa to my normal Amazon account yet so I didn't test it but I know you can also ask her to play music for your and it should use your preferred music service as well. Everything seemed to "just work" out of the box which I was pretty surprised about.
All in all, do I NEED Alexa in their car? Not really. Was it kind of neat when it was Sunday and I remembered the Bears had played earlier and I was able to ask Alexa what the score was on a couple of games without taking my eyes off the road? yes. I'm sure if you're the type of person that uses Alexa for playing music a lot, you'll get even more use out of this device. If you don't need Alexa, though, you can probably go for the much cheaper variant of this same charger that just doesn't have Alexa included. All depends on your budget and what you need.

Amazing audio quality, Pretty comfortable
on December 13, 2018
Posted by: swemoney
from Schaumburg, IL
I've always heard great things about Audio-Technica's ATH-M50 line of headphones. I own a lot of headphones even though I would never consider myself a real "audiophile". My music comes from Apple Music and Spotify and I listen to a lot of podcasts. I don't do lossless, so if this is an important quality in a reviewer, you might be better served to find a different review. That said, these are the best sounding headphones I've ever used.
Setup was a breeze. As soon as I turned them on the first time, they popped up on my phone's list of Bluetooth devices ready to connect. One more tap and I was connected. I downloaded the app to see if there were any settings I could tweak but the app is extremely limited. These headphones were designed to work the way they come, I guess and that's fine. The only thing I would have enjoyed out of the app would be the ability to turn on some sort of side-tone so I could hear myself and my surroundings if I needed to. If this feature exists somewhere else, I haven't found it yet.
Sound quality was excellent! I was really surprised. Like I said earlier. I've tested more headphones that I've ever really needed to. Most of them are bluetooth so I'm comparing apples to apples here. Some of them are fully wireless earbuds that sound OK. Some of them are full ear cups that some pretty good. This set blows everything else out of the water. Not being an audiophile, I can't really explain the reasons I think they sound so good. It's just something that happened as soon as I turned on my first song and I kept feeling amazed as I kept playing more and different music. They just sound really good and well rounded. Nice bass. "Crisp" everything else. Especially for bluetooth headphones, I can't imagine noticing a huge difference on a wired pair of these.
Comfort is pretty good. I don't feel like I have large ears but the cups did "touch" the sides of my ear lobes so if you're looking for a set that completely covers your ears without touching them, this might not be for you. If that's not that important to you, it wasn't that uncomfortable, regardless. The weight felt good on my head. They were tight enough to not slide around but not too tight to hurt. My only complaint about the fit is after a little while, my ears felt a little warm when I took them off.
TLDR; This is a great pair of headphones. I can't comment on pricing but just off the top of my head, I can't imagine there being much competition with this set at this price point. They sound amazing. They feel pretty comfortable. Setup was a breeze. It's a no brainer if you're looking for a great headset at this price range.

Pretty good for what it does
on December 13, 2018
Posted by: swemoney
from Schaumburg, IL
Since I got a year of free service along with this device, I don't know what kind of upkeep this is going to take after that year. But for now, it's actually kind of a neat device if your specific use case collides with it's features.
I'll start to talk about setup. I already had the SmartThings app on my phone for other Samsung devices I own so that was pretty easy. It requires an account so you'll need to create one if you're new. Adding the tracker was relatively easy through the app but there were a couple of hiccups. I'm not sure if it was a battery issue (I don't think my device came very charged up) but for a while, when I held the button like it told me, the light would just turn blue instead of the cycled blue green red that it said would happen. After letting it charge for a while, it finally managed to pair. I don't know what exactly was wrong here but it eventually worked. After that, it takes a couple of minutes to activate your cellular service and then it'll show up in the app.
Using the tracker works pretty well. Accuracy was on par with my phone probably. I didn't notice any glaring issues with it. Sometimes it would pinpoint a lot closer than other times but usually the range was pretty small. If you are just attaching this to a device that you take with you everywhere or maybe throwing it in a bag you travel with a lot, you'll be able to pull the location of the tracker on demand whenever you want (as long as the battery lasts). If you're looking for an always on tracker, move on. This isn't the tracker you're looking for. This is an on demand, "I lost it" kind of tracker that you'd attach to a dog collar or give to a child when he goes to the park so you can keep tabs on them manually when you need to. There is a "auto tracking" mode you can turn on but it only lasts 10 minutes and it'll continuously track something for that time. So if you're looking to spy on your wife or boyfriend by slipping this in their car or something, you'll need to stay glued to the phone and keep manually turning on tracking mode. The last method of tracking is to double press the physical button on the device to "check in" to the app. This will record it's location and send you a notification. Probably good for sending with your teen and letting them double tap the button to let you know they're at the place they said they were going and are ok or something.
Battery life seemed good enough for what it was for. From a full charge to dead, the tracker lasted about 4 days with minimal use. It was kind of what I figure the general use case is for the tracker. I threw it in my wife's purse and had her check in on occasion and I'd just update the location manually once or twice a day. With more use, you'll maybe need to charge it every other day or something. The app does alert you when the battery is almost dead and then again when the tracker turns off because it's dead (or if you just turn it off).
All in all, it's a pretty nice device. It's small and does what it's supposed to. If you're looking for a tracker that maps out everywhere the tracker has been over the last 24 hours or something, this isn't what you want. If you're just looking to manually keep tabs on a pet, loved one or device and this fits your budget, I'd say go for it.

Definitely not worth it
on December 5, 2018
Posted by: swemoney
from Schaumburg, IL
I got this mostly as a joke as I thought it would be a goofy thing I could have fun with a couple of times with friends and take a couple of pictures while feeling more cool than I looked. I will say that I laughed a lot while trying to function this thing but it wasn't necessarily me having fun with it. It was more laughing at how terrible the whole thing worked at every step.
Maybe the only thing I can commend it for is the looks. It's small and looks pretty sleek. For the most part, it feels pretty solid in it's construction but this is probably mostly for necessity than anything as I'll mention in a little bit. So ascetically, decent marks. It also comes with a nice carry bag too. That's where all the niceties end for this review. Everything else is either annoying or just plain doesn't work well.
Let's start with setup. I won't say setup is very hard because it's not. If you follow the instruction pamphlet, it's a pretty easy thing to setup. The most annoying thing with the setup for me was that the device doesn't connect to wifi via your home wifi and then communicate with your phone from there. You need to disconnect your phone from your home wifi any time you wish to use this thing and connect your phone directly to the drone. Now, I'm sure this is probably the best way to get as little latency as possible in the greatest number of situations, but my wifi and network is quite nice and I have little to no problems with latency when connecting through my router so it would be super nice to have the OPTION at least to connect the drone to a router and then have the app find the drone via your local network. You know, how almost everything that connects via wifi works. Aside from that annoyance, setup is easy enough to accomplish. My only other gripe might be calibration but I'll talk about that next.
Flying this thing is insanely difficult. There are 3 different controls that they label and "simple", "moderate" and "expert" (those might not be the exact works but it's something very similar to that). I tried them all and could not get comfortable with any of them. The "simple" controls would definitely seem to be the easiest to use. No motion/tilt controls. Just press button and the drone does the thing you pressed. But the layout of the buttons is the least intuitive thing I've ever seen. I was never able to correlate my desired action with which button to press quickly enough before the drone ran itself into a wall. Which brings me to calibrating. The app tells you to calibrate the device by laying it on the level surface (makes a lot of sense) and preferably having the sensor on the bottom free floating. That last bit is important because the sensor sticks out of the bottom so it's impossible to lay the device flat otherwise. My best calibration happened when I finally found a piece of foam with the middle cut out to set it on during calibration. All in all, though, the drone never flies perfectly still. It always drifts. Usually forward. So combining the lack of intuitive controls with the fact that the drone is always drifting forward, you're going to crash this thing into many walls. I'm sure this has something to do with calibration but I've tried many times to calibrate it exactly how it tells me to and the best I've got still drifts forward at least a little bit.
So now the drones namesake! You'd probably expect an expensive gadget with Selfie in the name to take amazing pictures. That was not my experience. I would not consider my living room to be exceptionally bright but I don't feel like it's dark either. Regardless, the pictures thing thing took felt like they came from my old Sony-Erricson flip phone. Image stabilization seems pretty good considering how much the drone is moving but they are probably digitally zooming the image quite a bit which results in some pretty poor pictures in my eyes. You might have some better results outdoors in the sunlight but I am definitely not comfortable enough flying this to try it outdoors (it even recommends you use it indoors because of wind). The claim is full 1080p HD video with a 12 MP still camera is probably true but I can't imagine the sensor in the camera is very large at all. Expect to take novelty photos you can say "I took this with a drone" and move on from. Don't expect to frame these masterpieces or film your next studio production with it.
Battery life. Oh boy. I guess I can't really knock the device for it's battery life because I'm pretty sure it's printed on the box. But if you don't know yet, it's 5 minutes. You can fly your drone for roughly 5 minutes before it starts yelling at you about a low battery. Then it's back on the charger and maybe you'll be able to take another terrible picture later so long as you can figure out how to fly it in 5 minutes the next time.
All in all, I did have some fun with this drone. It's my first experience with any sort of drone so there's that novelty. Most of my fun was spent laughing after the drone ran itself into a wall because I couldn't find the button to make it go backwards fast enough. I wouldn't recommend this unless you have some money you also don't mind setting fire to.

With no wires in the way, Bose SoundSport Wireless Sports Earbuds keep you moving with powerful audio. Perfect for exercise and running with a sweat and weather resistant design and StayHear+ tips designed for comfort and stability. The Tile app makes your headphones easy to find if they ever go missing.
Is it possible to remove that clip on the wire?
Clip is formed plastic around the wire, so not unless you break the clip. You can move it up and down the wire. I barely noticed it, myself.

Is this earphone compatible with Andriod phone?
I didn't test them out on an Android device, but they're bluetooth headphones. So if your Android device supports Bluetooth audio, they should work fine.
