Full Power in a Small Factor/Easy to take Anywhere
on April 15, 2024
Posted by: Aaronxx7
The Dell XPS 13 is a great lightweight laptop, built for portability. It weighs in at 2.6lbs and is only .60inches thick, and at 11.62" x 7.84"
it's almost the same size as a standard spiral paper notebook. The XPS 13 could easily fit inside a medium to large purse and virtually
any backpack or briefcase.

Depending on the intensity of the usage, the battery could last for up to 18 hours, outlasting most trips. Charging from zero to 100% takes less than 1.5hrs with
the correct wattage charger. Chargers with less than 60W will still work but effect the rate of charge.

The design is pretty stream lined with the function buttons and touchpad seamlessly hidden under the Gorilla Glass 3. The touchpad does use haptics and can be
tapped or pressed to activate a mouse button click. While there is no outline for the touchpad, one can define the edges of it with the spacebar, as it lines up
perfectly with the edges of that.

The rest of the body is made from aluminum, which gives everything a lightweight but solid and durable feel.
Depending on what is going on with the laptop(starting or logged in), the top row of keys under the glass will light up as the "F" keys or they will actually
display the media shortcut functions, ie. volume, brightness,prt sc and etc. This feature can also be toggled by holding the "fn" key.

The Display has a locking hinge that opens to approximately 135 degrees. The LED FHD+ display looks pretty good. The colors look pretty vibrant although I
typically like to enable the blue light reduction features on all of my screens which generally offsets the colors slightly. The screen does offer HDR and different
color profiles to fit anyone's preference. The refresh rate is 120Hz with a 35ms response time. The brightness is 500nits with a contrast ratio of 2000:1
The display itself is not a touchscreen, although I must admit that I think all screens this small should have touch capabilities and open a full 360 degrees
for ease of use.

The performance is pretty solid with the i7 processor and 16GB LPDDR5X RAM, (upgradeable to 64GB LPDDR5X). I have had no issues with using this
for work or entertainment. The integrated GPU would probably be okay for a lot of web based games and downloaded games set at the lower performance
and display options. Just out of curiosity, I downloaded a Quake 2 demo and it played, but it was pretty glitchy as expected. Fortnite ran okay. Call of Duty Warzone was very
laggy, again as expected because this is not a gaming pc.

Benchmarking tests showed favorable results for performance with most production apps, photo editing and digital content creation.
All the Microsoft Office apps ran very well. I was able to edit my 234sheet Excel spreadsheet without issues and I was even able to extract all my pages as individual .pdfs in less than 3.5minutes. It used to take my old desktop 15minutes or more to do the same thing. I also had no issues with Word or any of the other office apps.

The 13" screen might seem limiting at times, but don't worry, this laptop does support additional screens. Even though the device only has 2 ports on it, they are both Thunderbolt 4
ports. So you can plug in a multitude of various devices using a hub or USB C adapters. Through this option you can plug into your big screen TVs, monitors, or even portable display screens. While on the go they do make attachable screens that run off your own device's USB for power. I use a lot of apps running at the same time, so larger screens or additional screens are preferred for me. If you don't have access to additional screens, then the Windows Snap feature can help you to manage all your additional windows.

The XPS 13 does come with a dedicated Copilot key to easily access AI features. From here either you can type, or hit the mic button to voice your requests and Copilot will do it's best to help you out with opening apps, checking the weather or assisting you in writing projects.
Additional features include a fingerprint sensor, backlit keys and 2 web cameras with infrared sensors for low to no light settings.
When under a heavy workload the bottom does get pretty hot, but the temp is usually negligible during general usage. The cooling fans are noticeable when they kick on but are relatively quiet.
Overall, this laptop is a great option for someone looking for a portable pc, it's so light and small it can be carried virtually anywhere. The AI based optimization software automatically fine-tunes your PC for the best performance, audio, video, and battery life possible. The keyboard uses full size keys for a better typing experience than most smaller devices. It's nice being able to keep everything on one device going from office to home or in between. I have a hub set up at home and work with additional displays, mice and printers for a seamless transition from work, travel and back home.

Wireless Charging Phone Protection
on March 29, 2024
Posted by: Aaronxx7
Insignia has a wide variety of high quality products available through Best Buy.
I have bought and used dozens of their products, and have been pleased with their quality and price throughout the years. Insignia products usually offer similar features to the top name brand items, but at more affordable prices. This phone case is no exception to their high quality offerings. It offers great protection from accidental drops of up to 6 feet. It uses Polycarbonate, TPU which is softer than traditional Polycarbonate but not overly flexible like Silicone. This clear case also has a UV coating to protect the phone from harmful rays as well as keeping the case from discoloring too soon.
The case has a 2H rating to help keep it from getting scratched up from everyday use. The case is thick enough to protect the camera lenses from resting on flat surfaces when placed on its back. The front screen is also protected on flat surfaces because of the slightly raised edges. Keep in mind these edges only protect the glass on flat surfaces. If you drop your phone on gravel, or place it on other bumpy surfaces you could risk getting a scratch.
The best thing about this case is that it doesn't add a lot of unnecessary bulk or weight to the phone. Plus, wireless charging and NFC/Digital Wallet payments still work great.
The case goes on easily, and can be removed just as easily to clean it. The inside back of the case is textured to help prevent marks from the case on the back of your phone. The case has a smooth comfortable feel and doesn't feel too slippery like other smooth cases. The buttons are easy to press, and the charging port cut out is wide enough to accommodate even thicker coated charging cables.

Great for Small Businesses
on March 9, 2024
Posted by: Aaronxx7
This multi-function printer has everything a small business needs to get work done including fax, print, scan and copy.
If you subscribe to HP's Instant Ink program, you can also add remote printing and mobile faxing to the list, 2 features that are essential for anyone on the go.
With that stuff said, I'm going to get the cons out of the way right now. This printer does come with a notice that states that this printer only works with New or Reused(remanufactured) HP chipped ink cartridges. So, most likely 3rd party inks will be rejected by the printer. This is not a deterrent for me as I subscribe to the Instant Ink so that I can use those added features, which are more than worth it to me. A lot of other companies charge high prices to use their software and servers to print remotely, and subscribing to a VPN to get the same thing accomplished is sometimes just as pricey.
With the HP Smart app (available on PC, Android, and Apple) I can literally print from any device at any time to the specific printer I need, no matter my physical location. The HP Smart app can work with as many HP "print anywhere" capable printers that you own. Just make note that not all HP printers offer this feature. A list of the compatible printers can be found on their website. The list is important as for some reason it is not clear when buying some HP printers if this feature is available. Even HP's own support gets this wrong. I was directed to a few models by HP support that were not compatible
that I needed to point out to them that the "print anywhere" feature does not work with.
that I needed to point out to them that the "print anywhere" feature does not work with.
The second issue that I have come across is with the scanner. This issue, like the other is kind of moot. I have noticed that some print when scanned in the landscaped position at any resolution over 300dpi results in distorted words and symbols. (I will include a picture of the distortion.) I even tried turning off the enhanced scan features and got the same result.
This again is not a breaker for me as I hardly ever have a need to scan something like
that at a high resolution. The scanner and ADF scanner work great for everything else in portrait mode at any resolution with both text and images.
that at a high resolution. The scanner and ADF scanner work great for everything else in portrait mode at any resolution with both text and images.
The third issue is that the printer is capable of holding 500 papers, but the output tray only holds 100 standard papers. A lot of the jobs I send to the printer are over 100 pages. While this could be inconvenient, I did figure a work around. (I will include a picture.) If the printer is on a stand, you can let the output papers fall into a box. The box has to be butted up to the printer and the output tray can be extended out of the printer about an inch or two. The printed papers will slide off the tray into the box,
which can be retrieved at any point. Instead of standing by the printer waiting to grab the first 100 papers so the rest can print correctly without jamming. So far the box trick has worked great with no problems.
which can be retrieved at any point. Instead of standing by the printer waiting to grab the first 100 papers so the rest can print correctly without jamming. So far the box trick has worked great with no problems.
The next thing is more of a pet peeve. If you accidentally send the wrong print job to the printer, and it starts printing. The cancel feature is a bit hidden. You have to scroll on the LCD all the way to the right, which is past about 8 different icons to find the "Print Jobs" icon. Select that icon and then select the print job, and then press on the three lines for additional options and press cancel job. Unfortunately this takes a bit of time, and a few additional pages might print while you are navigating the menu icons.
With all the cons out of the way, this is still a great printer.
The 9135e has 2 separate paper trays capable of holding 250 pages each. The trays can be set to hold the same type of media or different.
The print quality is great at any level of dpi. I have printed and scanned a few examples of the three different quality options - 300dpi, 600dpi, and 1200dpi. Obviously the 1200dpi print gives the darkest print and finest lines, and is the closest to a laser print as this gets. However, the draft quality is a faster print and still looks great for all intensive purposes. Plus you will save a bit on ink at the lower dpi.
The 1.2ghz processor seems to work great, I have yet to see the printer lag down from lack of processing power. It has been very snappy to respond to all print jobs.
I printed two full page borderless photos on photo paper, both were printed at the finest quality and took approximately 1minute and 30seconds to print. The color is accurate and rich, with excellent clarity and definition. (scans of these at 1200dpi are attached)
Pretty much all other printing and scanning specs are as claimed by HP, and listed in the specs description for the printer.
Printing my larger print jobs on the draft setting yields print speeds closer to higher end and more expensive business printers.
Overall this printer has worked great. While it's not perfect, the pros definitely outweigh the cons.

No More Wet Floors
on February 23, 2024
Posted by: Aaronxx7
The Levoit Superior 6000S Smart Evaporative Humidifier is by far the best humidifier I have ever owned.
It has a 6 gallon water tank. The water tank which is the base of the unit sits on top of 4 wheels, making it
easy to push anywhere around the floor. Filling the unit could not get any easier. All you have to do is push
the base over to any sink and attached the included funnel and hose. The funnel is a soft rubber that is easy to wrap
around any faucet. While the funnel will fit around a tub faucet, the funnel does not make an airtight enclosure and still
needs gravity to feed the water through the tube, so a tub faucet is not recommended as the height is not ideal.

The best feature of this humidifier is the way that it introduces the water into the air. It uses 4 separate wick filters
that sit above the water tank. Water is pulled from the bottom and trickled down over the filters. A lot of other humidifiers
place their filters in the water. This causes the filters to stay wet all the time, which not only breaks the filter down quicker
but can also lead to the growth of bacteria and mold. Filters that sit in the water also do not get the same coverage of
water across the filter area either, making this process less efficient. Levoit does not recommend using their humidifier
on slanted surfaces because of the way the water is distributed over the filters, plus the unit is on wheels.

Levoit's filters last longer and stay cleaner because the humidifier has a dry feature specifically for the filters. You can
set the dry feature on or off, and even change it's setting on the unit, or through the app. Drying the filters helps to
prolong the filter's use and prevent mold and bacteria from growing.

Because of the capacity and ease to fill this humidifier, I do use tap water. However, we have very hard water in
my area, so I also use a water treatment drop in. The manufacturer doesn't say that it is necessary, and doesn't
claim that you have to use distilled water either, but it just makes maintenance a bit easier.

Unlike other cool water and warm mist humidifiers this evaporative humidifier doesn't leave surfaces around the
unit wet. I was constantly having to place towels around my other humidifiers to help collect the run off of the
falling mist. Neither my furniture nor my floor has gotten wet from using this humidifier, and I leave it running
all day and every night. I have dry eye syndrome so having this in my room definitely lessens the morning
symptoms. The winter months are typically worse for dry eye and my sinuses because of the natural lack of
moisture in the air. It is amazing how well this unit increases the humidity in the entire room, and not just in front
of it. Technically this could be used to maintain a whole floor of a house, but I use it just for my bedroom. I will
probably get a second one for the other parts of the house.

There are presets for "Auto Home" and "Auto Away" in which the unit has a specific humidity level and fan setting
that it uses for the current temperature in your home.

Great Concept, but needs some tweaking
on January 31, 2024
Posted by: Aaronxx7
I really had high hopes for this controller, because feature wise it sounds great and hardware wise it has addressed the biggest problem with the OEM PS5 controllers - stick drift.
I'm not saying it's a bad controller, just not what I was expecting.
Out of the box it's approximately 1 ounce heavier than the OEM PS5 controller and it's shaped more like an Xbox controller than a Playstation one. One ounce might not seem like a lot, because most of the time it's not. However the displacement of the weight is different. The PS5 controller holds most of the weight at the front, where the charging port is. The Nacon controller is heavier in the center and the handles. For some reason this weight distribution makes the controller feel heavier than it actually is or that there is more of an effort to hold it (if that makes any sense to you)This comparison is without the optional handle weights that come with the Nacon. For people that actually like the heavier controller feel, there are additional weights in the case that can easily be popped in and out of the handles in less than a minute. I usually game for a long time, so I opted for the lighter feel of no added weights. For people that absolutely love the design and feel of the OEM controller, this might take some adjusting to get used to. For people that love their PS5 but have been dying to use an Xbox controller, this is probably as close as you are going to get. There are some differences, the Nacon controller is a little broader around the trigger area and handles, and generally feels a little bulkier than the OEM Xbox controller and PS5 controller.
In comparison to the OEM PS5 controller this is a bit of a jump in the general feel of the two controllers. Even though it's not much bigger than the PS5 controller it feels awkward the first time you try to use it. especially with any game that uses the triggers. After just an hour of playing a FPS game the rigid triggers started to make my fingers hurt. The curve and design of the triggers is not as fluid as the PS5 ones. You can switch the buttons on the triggers for shorter quicker responses. That feature works good, ,just as described and is better for FPSs. The D-Pad like the thumb sticks can be swapped out for the 4 directional pad or the full round D-Pad. Both feel a bit odd, because the D-Pad itself sinks into the controller like an L3 click. The full round pad feels too clumsy to get accurate movements. The 4 directional D-Pad is slightly better but still hits that clumsy feel as it sinks when trying to run your finger across it from one direction to the next.
I play a variety of games, but currently I have been playing a lot of Call of Duty Mw3.In its "classic" setting the controller handles well for most things and is at its closest to the OEM controller, except for the thumbsticks. The thumbsticks use a different type of technology vs the traditional potentiometer thumbstick. The Nacon uses Hall Effect thumbsticks. They use magnets and electrical conductors as opposed to the traditional electrical resistance. The magnets have the advantage of no actual friction across the sensors. This idea may lead most people to believe this will last forever, but that is not the case as the bails and gimbal mechanisms do move and can wear over time. A good Hall Effect controller could easily last 2 to 3 times longer than a traditional controller in regards to stick drift.
The idea behind what they were trying to do with the thumbsticks was great ! However, it doesn't work that great for all games. The controller has a "Classic" mode and an "Advanced" mode. The classic mode is as close to the standard controller as possible. Even though the thumbsticks are more precise and fluid feeling, they lack that quick snap back feeling of an OEM controller. You can getused to it, but after playing MW3 all week, I still couldn't get my aiming and moving as quick and accurate as I could with the OEM controller. The Thumbsticks just feel spongy when trying to run and quickly aim at different targets. The Nacon controller also has 4 built-in thumbstick profiles designed for specific types of games (Driving, FPS, Arcade, and Infiltration). I tried the FPS mode on MW3 and it was okay for sniper rifles, and worked okay for single shot weapons but for quicker weapons like the SMGs and Assault Rifles, it was okay. for one or two close targets, but for more targets or targets of greater distances it would fail to reach them in time.
I tried the other 3 modes and there is a real noticeable difference in how the thumbsticks
react. I tried the Arcade mode and for some reason, my character kept turning indifferent directions than what I was pressing, so I was not sure what was going on there.The thumbsticks are very precise in their direction and responsiveness based on the profile. The having different levels of precision and responsiveness really help out in certain situations and games. The classic profile worked great on "For Honor".The Driving one worked good on Need For Speed, the 4th profile seemed way too slow for anything I would play. In addition to the 4 preset modes, you can create your own profile, but you would have to plug the controller into a PC and download the Nacon app. The App gives you a lot more options the way the controller can be used. I still wasn't happy with the results, so I thought I would try to add the metal rings to the thumbstick bases. The rings basically shorten the distance the thumbsticks travel, cancelling out dramatic moves in any direction. This did not help me as I was trying to get a closer feel to the OEM controller. I guess I could have used the rings and gone into the app and changed the dead zone areas. Maybe that would have been more effective. So , I will add that to my try list. I so much wanted this controller to have the feel of thePS5 controller without the stick issues.

The controller does not have a built-in mic. But does have a clip on mic that fits into the audio port, so you can use it just like a PS5 controller during chats. It also has built in bluetooth, so you can use virtually any headset you want with it. You can also use a combination of audio devices as long as they don't overlap features, ie,. a non mic bluetooth headset and the included mic adapter. But not a wired headset and a bluetooth headset. There are also built-in audio EQ presets that can easily be swapped to from the touchpad. You can even adjust the volume from the touchpad as well.
The charging port and cable seem to be of high quality, but again there is a give and take here. The charging port sits so deep into the controller that only the included cable will fit in thereto charge the controller, so make sure to carry this cable with the controller always. The deeper well for the charging port actually holds the cable into place so there is less sideways pull from the cable on the port, so this is a benefit to the longevity of the charging port and cable.( After some searching I was able to find another cable that would work to charge the controller)
Nacon was established by BigBen in 2019 and wants to be the leader in gaming
accessories and AA games. They have acquired several other gaming companies
to help them in their venture. With all their combined efforts they are coming up
with some good ideas, it's just the execution that needs some more work.
The controller is definitely usable, and offers a ton of different ways to alter the look,
feel and control of most everything and possibly with some more tinkering, or updates
I might be able to find that sweet spot in the settings that works the best for me.

Excellent for all weather Outdoor Flavor

The idea of an indoor BBQ has been around for a while,
and GE seems to have gotten it right. The smoker uses two heat
sources to cook with. a coil at the bottom of the unit heats the food
while the Active Smoke Filtration turns the pellet smoke into warm air
that enters the unit through the vents, spreading the smoke flavor.
There are no smoke clouds inside or outside the unit. However, you can
smell the smoked food after a while of cooking similar to how you
can smell something cooking in the oven.

The smoker is small enough to fit under the counter but large enough to cook 8 lbs of
beef and more. It has a sleek design with easy to use buttons. The display is large enough
for anyone to read, and has a nice friendly interface with touch sensitive buttons and a dial.

Assembly is very quick, as the rack supports just pop in. The drip pan slides into the lower
rack slot, and the three cooking racks can go in at different heights as needed. The included
meat thermometer pops into the top right side of the interior. The thermometer slot is covered by
a spring hinged flap to help keep food debris from entering the hole.

change the desired smoke level. There is a pamphlet included with the manual that has

to make sure the water reservoir is full to the correct line. The smoker should not be used

For my second attempt I tried the chicken wing recipe. I had a few pounds of
chicken wings I froze a few months ago. I thawed the wings and put them
in the smoker with the recommended settings. This time, things didn't turn
out very well. The chicken had a nice smoked flavor on the outside, but the
inside seemed overcooked and rubbery. I don't think it was the smoker,
but most likely an effect of trying to use the frozen wings.

I later tried to cook some chicken breasts that I soaked in a marinated.
I put 4 pieces of chicken in (about 4.5lbs) and set the smoker at the chicken
setting and inserted the thermometer into the largest breast. It took over 5 hours
for the probe to reach the correct temperature. I took the chicken out, and it
looked well with a nice smoked color to it, but the chicken was way too dried out.
The flavor was very good with just enough smoke, however, I ended up throwing it out
because it was just too tough.

Great Idea and Very Useful
on December 16, 2023
Posted by: Aaronxx7
I had been hoping for something like this for years. Like a lot of families we used to use a whiteboard calendar on our refrigerator and constantly wipe away the old month and write in the new month, and then get everyone to add their appointments and events to the appropriate days.
The bad thing about this is that not everyone would update the days. Future events would sometimes get missed because we would later forget to add them to the next month's calendar when that month pops up. It was also impossible to go back a month and check for a past event.
The Skylight Calendar has finally brought us the answer to better family organization. The whole family can sync their phones and personal calendars with the Skylight Calendar. Once synced everything updates on its own, you never need to push/send appointments from one device to another. Events that are entered on anyone's phone are automatically transferred to the calendar and vice versa.
It's very easy to add appointments and events directly on the calendar through the touch screen. The great thing here is that the kids don't need accounts to add things to the calendar, like their sporting events, school activities, days off or anything else needing to be scheduled.
The kids can also add anything wanted or needed to the shopping lists. We keep the frame in our kitchen near the main door, so we all see it every time we go out. It's also very convenient being in the kitchen because then anyone can add directly to the shopping list when we are out of milk, cereal, or anything else. I also like that I can add things quickly from my phone whenever I see that we are low on toothpaste or other supplies throughout the house. Everything updates on all devices so that I do not need to send a text or call my wife to ask her to pick stuff up at the store after work, because she would already have the list.
The convenience in sharing all this information with the right people eliminates the issues of bad communication between families concerning appointments and needed groceries. You can also set up "dinner plans" for specific days or everyday if needed. So that everyone knows what's for dinner and at what time.
Aside from keeping your calendars in sync, the Skylight Frame can help to set up chores. Here you can create a chore chart and add participants and specific chores. You can set the chores up to repeat daily or by specific days. So you could have one chore setup to repeat every other day or every other week or even month. This way you can swap the chores around with each kid on a regular basis. Once this is setup you don't need to mess with it, unless you want to edit it or add something else, otherwise it will be good to go every month automatically. No more needing to write it in every month on a white board.
You can also create as many lists as needed for any purpose. I have a general one for stuff to do, house repairs, maintenance on the cars, work projects and things needed for our next vacation trip. They are easy to use and pretty helpful.
If you pay for the premium plan you can also turn your calendar into a digital photo frame! this part is great, because it could also save your fridge from being the world's messiest photo collage. You can set up albums to sync with the frame showing off all your favorites with no limits.
With the premium plan you can also send doodles (created in the app), pics or videos to anyone else connected to your calendar.
With the premium plan you can also send doodles (created in the app), pics or videos to anyone else connected to your calendar.
This calendar is great and like I said, just what I was waiting for. The convenience and ease of use can work for anyone. I could even see this being set up at an older person's house to update the rest of the family on needed supplies and upcoming doctors appointments, as well as the rest of the family being able to send new photos to the frame for the grandparents to see.
The frame itself is a good size at 15", I wouldn't pick anything smaller unless it was to sit at someone's desk. The frame comes in all white, but you can buy actual frame borders in different colors to accommodate different decors. It comes with the necessary hardware to mount it to the wall, or prop on a table. The metal base is nice and heavy to make the calendar very sturdy no matter where you place it. The added weight keeps it from getting knocked around when pressing the touch screen. The touchscreen is very responsive and it's easy to type with the onscreen keyboard. They really did a good job making this a durable and useful item.

Lightweight, Versatile , Clear Audio !!
on November 10, 2023
Posted by: Aaronxx7
The Logitech Zone 950 is built for comfort and clarity.
Weighing in at only 0.51 lbs it's hardly noticeable when wearing it. The ear cuffs are made from a breathable material to keep the air circulating around your ears so that your ears don't sweat as easily Your ears also don't get sore listening for long durations like what happens with other headsets that block air and noise from crossing back and forth through the headset ear cuffs.
The boom mic can rotate about a full 180 degrees, allowing you to use the mic on either side of your head. There are actually 4 noise-cancelling mics in the unit. Logitech took it another couple steps further with Ai noise suppression and 2 levels of ANC features to make sure you get the cleanest sound possible not only for you, but also for the person on the other side of the call or chat.
These features work great at reducing background noises at different volumes and distances. However, loud close noises are difficult to isolate out, as I'm sure the Ai would think these noises were supposed to be there. As long as you can do something to put a little distance between yourself and the other noises either physically or audibly the headset will do it's best to try to phase these sounds out. You can control how aggressive this is with the ANC button.
You can set it for off, low and high Active Noise Cancellation.
You can set it for off, low and high Active Noise Cancellation.
The 40mm speakers sound amazingly clear during calls and very immersive when listening to music. The default EQ auto adjusts to the type of audio being used, whether it's for chat or music.
Through the app, you can manually change the EQ and the profiles to suit your specific preferences.
Through the app, you can manually change the EQ and the profiles to suit your specific preferences.
The headset covers almost all the ways to connect to virtually any source. The headset itself has Bluetooth - so it can connect directly to any other Bluetooth device. It also has a dongle that supports both regular USB and USB C devices. I hooked it up directly to my phone, and then used the dongle to swap over to my PS5 and then back to my PC.
The mic worked great on all the devices.
It's so convenient to be able to use the same quality headset virtually everywhere you go.

It's so convenient to be able to use the same quality headset virtually everywhere you go.
This headset is marketed for business calls but it easily fits so many more applications.
On the PC it worked great with any calling or meeting software. People in the meetings could hear me much better over the default PC mic, and I could hear everyone else great, even with my kids and our pets doing their usual routines.
I no longer have to stress as much thinking how unprofessional it sounds to work from home, now that those background noises are much more limited.
I no longer have to stress as much thinking how unprofessional it sounds to work from home, now that those background noises are much more limited.
The volume controls are super easy to use by just sliding your finger up or down on the outside ear cuff without the mic.
The mic mutes with either a quick raise of the boom, or by removing the headset and putting it down ( activate this feature in the app settings ). No need to fumble around looking for a button.
I didn't officially test the 170ft wireless distance promised by Logitech, but I was able to roam my house with ease and keep a solid connection upstairs and in the basement.
Amazingly this lightweight headset can last all day before needing to be charged.
It boasts 12 to 18hours of talk time, depending on the ANC and clarity settings. Which seems to be pretty accurate so far. If you are only interested in listening to audio you can squeeze out an impressive 40hrs out of these with the right settings and reduced features.
Either way you should be able to go all day doing what you need to before plugging these in.

Overall these sound amazing, and are great for work and play (no need to carry 2 separate headsets ). They are very comfortable around the ears, and last all day. Plus it even has replaceable parts, so if anything breaks it can easily be fixed. My only concern is the headband, it is adjustable but seems to lack a solid grip around my head. If I try to pickup something or turn my head quick, I feel the headset slide. It's easy to just hold in place, but I'd prefer a tighter grip possibly ??? Although that might make my hair look flattened out. So I guess the plusses with the strap being lightweight and not as flattening on my hair outweigh the tighter grip. 😁

The magnetic mounts only take a minute or two to install. There are extra
sticky pads included if needed, as well as a template. The template just gets
centered on the back of your laptop screen. If you have a 15" screen or smaller
this method of installing works pretty well. However, if you have a larger screen
laptop, you might want to line up about where and what side you are going to
be using the 2nd screen on. The reason I say this is because the magnetic mounts
actually let the screen slide to the left or right before or after you actually open it.
On larger displays, centering the magnets will actually make it difficult to see the
closest edge of the 2nd screen, because it will end up being blocked by the bezel
on your laptop. To avoid this mistake, try taping the template onto the back of your
laptop first, and then hold the 2nd screen up against it to try to figure out how it
will look once the screen is displayed. I use my 2nd screen on the left, so I had to
place the template closer to the left border of my laptop screen.

Extra Sturdy Fit

The Quest 3 Elite Strap might not seem like a necessity if you are using your Quest 3 for minimal activity apps and games, but if you are using the Quest 3 for exercise or like very active games than you are going to want to get this additional strap.
It offers so much more stability over the stretchy included straps. The included strap just slips over your head and only has the top velcroed strap to use for adjusting the fit. It is light and does accommodate a lot of different hair styles but it lakes the stability and confidence one needs for the more active apps and games out there.
The Elite strap uses a thick plastic band that goes around the sides and back of the Quest 3.
The Straps pop on and off the sides of the unit, and it only takes a couple minute to change out the straps. No special tools are needed for any purpose during the swap out.
The Straps pop on and off the sides of the unit, and it only takes a couple minute to change out the straps. No special tools are needed for any purpose during the swap out.
The top band is a quality fabric strap with a rubber coated velcro hook end. The end slides right into the top slot above the nose bridge on the Quest 3 and is quickly returned by the contour of the slot.
At the back of the strap is a rubber cradle that helps to further secure the Quest 3 around your head. It is a somewhat thick but soft rubber and seems very sturdy.
At the outside back of the strap is a dial. This dial expands the strap when turned counter clockwise and contracts the strap when turned clockwise. When you turn it clockwise, it clicks as it ratchets into place, providing the most secure fit you are going to get with one of these VR headsets.
Overall the quality is great and the tighter more secure feeling works out great for the higher intensity games and apps.
