nice classic look with intense modern sounds
on March 11, 2019

I love the classic look of this speaker, it's very elegant and functional.
The leather look with the textured vinyl, and brass accents give this a very classy look.
The controls could not be simpler or easier to use. The classic dials add a very easy and precise way to customize your sound experience for the bass and treble. Further equalizer functions can be done with your phone or primary audio device.
The sound is very impressive for the size of the box. It puts out as much sound and quality as an old school home stereo set with the large floor stand speakers. I was able to hear this speaker 3 rooms away at almost max volume, and it still sounded loud enough to enjoy, as if it was in the room with me( at a normal level).
The model I have does not have the Alexa feature (which is primarily just a button and mic), but should be able to connect to any Bluetooth device as just a speaker. There is, however, a "play/pause" button next to the power switch lever for added convenience.
It also has a 3.5mm aux input , and RCA audio jack input for real old school devices.
The sound quality is very high, and doesn't get garbled or distorted at any volume. With the bass on high, and the volume cranked, you can really feel the air pounding out of the back of the box.

Overall, I could not be happier with the fact that this could easily be placed on any shelf and make any room sound like it has a huge sound system in it. With the ability to connect to any audio device, the convenience, simplicity and sound quality make this speaker a winner!

So far great performance
on February 18, 2019
Posted by: Aaronxx7
from central new york
It's been slightly less than a week and
so far this router has provided solid performance with noticeable differences.
I just paid a couple hundred dollars for the newest and best router through Verizon
for their gigabit fios services. The Quantum router from Verizon is a decent router
but the ASUS AX6000 has delivered more than twice the speeds of the quantum router, at much greater distances. I get a solid signal in every part of my house with the ASUS. Even at the farthest end of my house, where I would typically receive low signals and intermittent performance.
We play a lot of video games, but mainly on consoles. There are 2 features specifically tailored for online game play. The WTFast GPN feature, and the adaptive QoS. The adaptive Qos lets you pick what type of internet services are most important to you, and then tries to prioritize that type of traffic over all others. The WTFast GPN is an external service that the router can log into, if you have an account. (or need to create one). This service has proven to benefit some games based on the user's location. Basically this VPN is strictly for games, hence GPN, it reroutes all of your game traffic through their dedicated game servers for the lowest lag time possible. In some instances the difference in latency is only a few hundredths of a ms, very negligible. However in others it has been able to reduce large pings (200+ms) down to a quarter or less of their original numbers. So in most tests WTFast provides some of the lowest pings available, but can't always improve on already fastest pings. With the free version you are limited to one connection for one device. There are paid subscriptions that offer more devices and connections, if needed. While WTFast is a benefit for most online games, it is really tailored more for PC's, with only a handful of supported games for the PS4, and XBOX One. Here is a link to their supported games( https://wtfast.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/210169943-List-of-wtfast-ASUS-Router-Supported-Games )
The router also offers a slew of customizable features that use to be only available to IT professional. So be careful on what features you change as a home user, but hey, that's what the reset button is for :)
So far I have not experienced the intermittent wifi reception problems that have plagued this router in the past, I'm assuming the newer firmware has resolved these issues.
The hardware itself, is very impressive, with some of the newest technology available.
So if this router's software can continue to evolve, it will be a great choice for many more years.

Great sound for compact wireless design
on February 8, 2019
Posted by: Aaronxx7
from central new york
For the size and added features, these ear buds put out a very intense sound with
a high exterior noise canceling effect.
While the music was playing at a reasonable level, virtually all outside sounds
were canceled out. Even with no audio playing, it is difficult to hear surrounding noises.
Which is a plus in most cases, however I found myself constantly removing one bud to talk to people.
These ear buds can be used in tandem, or just the right bud. Each has it's own power button.
If you download the app, you can monitor each pieces battery level, and select from
preset EQ settings, or customize your own. The app can even be linked to Spotify
where you can listen to other workout playlists, or your own.
The buds fit perfectly into my ear, out of the box, however they come with additional
size adapters to accommodate virtually any ears size.
The big plus is that these are completely waterproof (IPX7) and sweatproof , so no more
worries about how to handle them during a long workout. Which also makes
it easier to clean them. They still don't recommend swimming in them, as they
are only rated for about 1 meter of water for 30mins or less.
The battery life is about 4hours on a full charge, but the awesome part is that
with just a 5minute charge you can get an hour worth of play. The included carry
case is the best accessory for these buds, not only do the buds fit easily into them
but they also charge right from the case. The case has it's own battery system for the
buds to charge from. The case when fully charged can handle 2 full recharges to the buds.
So that means when everything is fully charged you can get 12hours of playback, until
needing a plug in from the wall.
The buds can also be used to answer phone calls, or initiate the google assistant
with a single tap to the right ear bud.
With the addition of an ambient noise feature these buds would be perfect,
but very pleased and impressed with them as is.
-- also, just as a side not, at this time I have not experienced any connectivity issues,
which use to be a problem on earlier models.

Works well, great for 2
on January 12, 2019
Posted by: Aaronxx7
from central new york
This soup maker works pretty good, and cooks all the ingredients quickly in 18mins.
Most other devices usually take about 30mins.
One of the unique features of this soup maker, is that the mixer blade is attached to the lid, and has a slightly unconventional shape to it. The odd shape of the blade circulates the ingredients better, by forcing everything from the center to the outside. As opposed to a typical blender blade the forces everything into a whirlpool.
The Philips blade rotates at ifferent speeds based on your program selection. So far the results have been very consistent between pureed and chunky soups.
For pureed soups I don't waste much time chopping up ingredients, as long as I can get it into the machine, it turns out good. A little more care needs to be taken for chunky soups, if you want uniformly sized chunks. It's better to chop these to their desired sizes, before putting them in the machine.
This also comes with a recipe book, with 28 different soups and drinks to make.
The machine has 6 preset programs, all are easy to use, and require no supervision. Hot soups, cold soups, milk based soups, and smoothies, can all be made with little effort. You can even be creative, as this can be used as a regular blender too.

Overall, this works great for a quick meal for 2, with a 1.2L capacity. Easy to use with delicious easy recipes.
My only complaint, is that this is a little on the small size. As I was experimenting with different recipes and ideas, I found myself adding too many ingredients, forcing me to cook everything in 2 different sessions.

smooth as a razor, w/ no burn
on January 3, 2019
Posted by: Aaronxx7
from central new york
This razor is surprisingly quiet in the normal mode, and even quieter in the skin guard mode.
The 8 directional pivoting heads are very comfortable gliding across your skin, and very effective in almost all areas. I have kinda thick facial hair so I have never actually had an electric shaver cut every single hair on my face and neck. Usually there are a few stragglers left over for a razor blade to finish up. Surprisingly I had no stragglers on my face, just some on my neck. So this shaver actually did a pretty good job.
The shave is not only quiet, but feels pretty smooth.
My skin is not very sensitive, so I didn't need the skin guard feature, but did try it, and It did feel even smoother. For additional comfort, this can be used on a wet face, in the shower, and even with shaving cream.
The heads are very easy to clean, just pop off the blade cover, and rinse everything with running water.
It is just as easy to change the shaving head to the trimmer, just pull up firmly, and it pops right off. Then push the other trimmer head in, until you hear the click, and your ready to go.
This razor quick charges for 1 shave in 3 minutes, or fully charges in about an hour. A full charge can provide around 17 shaves.
The electronic display is pretty bright, and very easy to read.
Overall this cordless shaver works very good, and provides a very smooth, clean look.

sleek yet effective phone stand
on January 2, 2019
Posted by: Aaronxx7
from central new york
this phone stand is actually pretty nice offering a sturdy stand that is extremely low profile, and feels pretty durable.
the stand is easily formed by placing your fingernail in the groove , and pulling towards the center of the device. A click can be felt, once the groove reaches the lock in point. You can either use the resulting arch on the back of the phone as a finger grip, or place the phone on it's side to use it as a kickstand. The glue used creates a very reliable bond on either the back of a phone, or phone case. I love just how slim this is, it barely adds any thickness to the phone at all.
So far, it's been great!

Impressive directional sound quality!
on January 2, 2019
Posted by: Aaronxx7
from central new york
This system is definitely one that you can hear and feel!
The sound quality is most impressive, with extremely deep bass and overwhelming object based sound. This sound bar comes with 3 straight firing speakers, 1 wireless subwoofer, and 2 upward firing speakers. Dolby Atmos in the theaters can provide up to 128 different sound objects, creating an incredible level of depth and sound direction. While home systems are a little more limited, they can mimic virtually the same amount of depth and direction, based on the quality and amount of speakers included in your system, up to 24.1.10. This system is 3.1.2, yet it delivers the impact of a system at least twice as large. The bass literally vibrates through my floor and can be felt at least 2 rooms away. The sound at just 30% is enough to start to hurt sensitive ears, yet everything comes
through very clear, and full of impact. Videos that actually utilize the directional sound are amazingly very accurate with the sound direction. It's crazy how easy this system throws sound around the room.

For true Dolby Atmos output, it is recommended to connect your sound bar directly via HDMI. If you are connecting from your HDTV, you can use the optical or coaxial outputs, however the best and full potential of the system will only be heard through the HDMI(ARC) input. To enable the audio return through the HDMI, you must have the (HDMI Anynet+ /CEC)feature enabled on your tv. If you were using this port as an actual input, you will need to plug that cable into the HDMI input slot on the sound bar, and plug the other HDMI cable from your HDTV with ARC to the other HDMI slot in the sound bar. Make sure to select the HDMI source in your sound bar settings. The system also comes with a Blu-Ray sampler disc, that will help you to sample some true Dolby Atmos, or Dolby Digital plus. If you have everything configured correctly, you should be able to hear the Atmos tracks on the disc, otherwise you will only hear the Digital Plus audio.
The system also has a Bluetooth receiver to stream music from phones or other sources, it also works with Chromcast, and your Google Assistant. The sound bar also has an ir learning feature, that lets it learn your TVs volume controls, so that you can easily change the volume of the sound bar with your regular TV remote. Vizio really did a great job with this sound system, it's full of high quality audio and features!

Coolest headset ever! seriously

This was part of a Gaming package with 3 of HP's hardware devices designed for PC gaming:
HP- Pavilion Gaming Desktop, model 690-0024
HP - 25x LED FHD monitor, model HP 25x and
HP- OMEN - Mindframe 7.1 gaming headset , model 3XT27AA#ABL
When combined together these three devices really take advantage of each others strengths.
It's always better and easier to use devices that compliment each other, as opposed to fighting with incompatibilities.
Plus all three of these devices come with green LED accent lighting that completes the overall look of this bundle.

The best feature is it's COOLING technology, to make wearing headphones
for prolonged time, way more tolerable.

The feature is called "Frostcap" :
Thermoelectric coolers inside the earcups cool the aluminum speaker
grille plates near the ears, which then transfers heat from inside the
acoustic chambers to the outside

The design of this pair of headphones is really top notch. The headband is a self adjusting
strap that is both comfortable, and looks very durable. Actually everything about this pair
looks like it was built to last. The ear cups are made from a soft fabric, instead of that
shiny vinyl like material most ear cups are covered in. I actually don't like the vinyl
material because, it ends up flaking off, and getting stuck in your hair or ears, after
about a year. So, I am very excited to see how much longer these cloth cups will last.

The volume dial is conveniently located under the right ear cup, for quick access to volume adjustments,
and the mic can be simply turned on or off, just be lifting or lowering the mic lever. ( an audible tone can be heard
to confirm the switch in the mic position )

There is an app, that can be downloaded to your PC (The Omen Command Center) to incorporate more control over the
headset. Including changing the lighting accents on the outside of the ear cups with animated effects and 16.8 million
color options. You can even adjust the Frostcap cooling intensity through the app.

Probably the only thing I could see missing on this headset is a chat vs game, mixing capability.
To adjust the sound levels of the chat over the sounds of the game, or vice versa.
I actually find this feature helpful, as sometimes people in chat lobbies are very loud, while others
are slightly lower in volume. Although this is a nice feature, I do not consider it that important, that
it be included on the headset, as most games have this as an option in the game settings.

The USB cable is of moderate length, and a nice braided material that is usually more flexible
and durable than the plastic alternative. The cord itself is about 6.5ft long, but if you need a longer
connection, USB extension cables are pretty easy to acquire in various lengths.

The 7.1 virtual surround sound, is way more important, especially if you are playing online
competitive games. The directional sound is key in staying alive, it helps so much in locating
players trying to attack you. Plus sometimes, it's just crazy how much audio game developers
pack into a game. A lot of things you can't hear just by using tv/external speakers. I was in
awe the first time I put on a pair of headphones like these, and heard flies buzzing around
my character, or the faint music playing from an abandoned car on the side of a road.
The ambient sounds are so realistic with this pair of headphones, that you might find yourself
actually looking for a fly swatter.

and even that is sometimes too intense for me.This set can really pound out the sounds, and
yet everything still sounds clear and realistic! Awesome sound quality!

This was part of a Gaming package with 3 of HP's hardware devices designed for PC gaming:
HP- Pavilion Gaming Desktop, model 690-0024
HP - 25x LED FHD monitor, model HP 25x and
HP- OMEN - Mindframe 7.1 gaming headset , model 3XT27AA#ABL
When combined together these three devices really take advantage of each others strengths.
It's always better and easier to use devices that compliment each other, as opposed to fighting with
incompatibilities. The 3 devices also come with matching accented green LED lights, for a modern look.

This is a PC that was actually made for gaming, with just enough of all the goodies to
get the job done right, but not break the bank, like some of the other options out there.

The 128GB solid state drive, provides lightning fast boot times, and system operations.
While the 1 Terabyte hard drive does all the grunt work of actually housing all your extra data
and game installs. The hard drive is actually pretty fast too with a 7200rpm rotational speed.
With 1000GB of hard drive space, that's the potential for a ton of games housed all in the same box.

combine all that with the AMD Radeon RX580 graphics card( 4GB of GDDR5 memory with clock speeds of 8gbs / 7.8gbs )
and it spells out a PC that is configured to run virtually any current game out there
I ran the"Witcher 3: the Hunt", at it's highest video capabilities (except 4k)
and the game ran great, it maintained a frame rate just over 50fps, for the duration
of the game with no stutter. (which is very good, as this is one of the more labor intensive games out there)
"Call Of Duty: Black Ops 3" ran super smooth, with no lag and 60fps

"Fortnite" also ran lag free with 60fps
The PC also comes with a CD/DVD burner, to back up data, install games or watch movies on
While the graphics card supports 4k resolution, I tested this with the HP 25x monitor for zero lag
performance.

While the keyboard feels pretty solid, some more serious gamers might want to get a specialized
keyboard and mouse, depending on their gaming preferences.
I used an Xbox One controller, as they are simply plug and play on virtually any windows machine.

Overall I was very impressed with the level of performance this machine was able to put out,
for this price, I was expecting a lot of games to run slowed down, or at lower frame rates, but
this held it's own, and held it high. (Very Impressive!)

The monitor is lightning fast with a 1ms response rate. That means that it refreshes the screen
144 times per second. Just as a side note,most people can not see the difference in refresh
above 90hz. So this monitor will definitely provide the smooth lag free game play, any gamer
would want.

The screen is FHD, which means that it offers Full High Defintion at 1080p. 4k displays are nice,
but for anything less than 32" 4k isn't really necessary, this is also a minute difference that probably
only a handful of people might be able to detect. So, with that said , everything else
about this display is top notch. The sharpness of the images is very high, and looks very smooth
with the 144hz refresh rate. Colors are very deep, and vibrant depending on the "Viewing mode"
selected. This offers 7 pre-programmed viewing modes, and 1 custom mode, so that you can set your
own preferences. The viewing modes are easily selected by one of the buttons on the bottom right
of the monitor. I personally like that the buttons protrude just slightly out enough to be easily felt,
but not enough where they are noticeable. I also like the fact that when you press any of the buttons,
a small slim pop up window floats above the buttons to indicate which button does what, so you
don't have to waste time guessing and pressing the wrong options. This monitor also has a low
blue light viewing mode, Flicker free technology, as well as a "Gaming- FreeSync" mode.

This monitor also has a very adaptable stand, to easily adjust the height and tilt angle of the
screen, to fit most likely everyone's preference. It also supports a 170 degree horizontal
and 160 degree vertical viewing angle, with an anti-glare screen for great clarity at almost any angle.

The only drawback might be for some, about this monitor is that it doesn't have any speakers, hence the
gaming headset. To be fair, there is no way any speaker in a monitor would ever be able to reproduce
the level of depth that a high quality pair of headphones can give you, for sound direction, bass, or clarity.

Overall this monitor was made for gaming with the speed and quality of the display, it even puts out
400 cd/m2 brightness, with a dynamic contrast ratio of 10000000:1 , so that every detail in any game can easily be seen.

Upgrade your home entertainment system with this 24-inch Insignia LED TV. It provides 720p resolution to support crisp, vivid images, and a 60Hz refresh rate for consistent response. This Insignia LED TV's DTS sound technology ensures crystal clear audio and impressive bass resonance, and it's energy-efficient to save you money.
If I use the Free TV key antenna with this TV, will it pick up the signal on its own or do I need additional products
All you need is the antenna, for additional hardware.
However, you will most likely have to go into the tv settings, find the channel options, and do a "scan" for all the channels within your range.
- other antennas offer different amplifications and reception ranges
Also keep in mind, that most antennas are directional, so you may have to point it around to find the best signal strength at different times of the day, based on your area
