Night Owl is excited to offer our U.S. designed and engineered 4K HD Wi-Fi Bluetooth Network Video Recorder with Wi-Fi IP 2K Spotlight Cameras and Pre-Installed Hard Drive. This system comes with 2K cameras but is 4K ready and can accommodate our 2K and 4K Wi-Fi devices. With Secure App-Based Bluetooth Setup, there is no need to connect a TV or monitor for setup or viewing (optional). Our patent pending recorder has built-in Bluetooth technology, making it easy for you to configure your system right from the app on your smartphone or tablet. While a TV or monitor is not required, with Google Assistant you can use simple voice commands to stream camera footage directly to your TV or monitor, all while remaining hands free. Each camera has 2-Way Audio (talk & listen) as well as a built-in siren and preset voice alerts. From within the app, you can easily activate the built-in siren, startling intruders and sending them packing. Have a guest but can’t get to them? Use a preset voice alert to let them know! Smart Detection Technology including Human Detection and Vehicle Alerts reduce the risk of false alarms, keeping you safe and well protected. Motion-activated spotlights flood your yard with bright lights when human motion is detected, instantly warding off trespassers. Need more coverage?

Easy to install & good picture quality

After you connect the base to the internet, it's very easy to start connecting your cameras.
You can mount your cameras in virtually any area that you can get an AC connection to.
All the cameras connect to the base wirelessly, but each camera needs a wired connection to an AC outlet.
All the cameras connect to the base wirelessly, but each camera needs a wired connection to an AC outlet.
Before mounting your camera its a good idea to power it on first, to make sure it is still within the wireless range of your base. Even though the base connects to your home/work internet the cameras will only use the proprietary WIFI from the base itself, so you can not choose a mounting location based on your home/business WIFI coverage.
If your new camera is within range of the base, all you need to do is plug it in. There are audio cues from the camera to let you know what it's doing and when it's ready to pair.
From your phone or the user interface on the base, all you need to do is view connected devices and then in the cameras area click on the "+" or add a camera.
the app will then start searching for the camera in pairing mode. Once found it only takes a few seconds to finish the setup. After the setup completes you can view the feed, or change that particular cameras settings.

the app will then start searching for the camera in pairing mode. Once found it only takes a few seconds to finish the setup. After the setup completes you can view the feed, or change that particular cameras settings.
Each camera can have independent settings or you can copy the settings from one camera to all the other cameras. In the settings you can choose activity zones to monitor, types of triggers to look for, and even what hours you want to schedule recordings for.
AND YES all the cameras can be set to record 24/7 if you want. Just set that up in the recording settings, and hit the "advanced" button and set a schedule for all days of the week from 12AM to 12AM. You will be able to still view any triggers that are set, but also everything along the 24hr timeline for each day.
All triggers and recordings can be viewed through the phone app or the base.
CURRENTLY the PC CMS app (an app you can download on any remote desktops or laptops) is not functioning correctly and has no viewing access to your devices. Night Owl is aware of the problem and their tech team is trying to work on a fix for the issue, but they currently do not have an ETA for the fix yet, but they have indicated they will put out an email to customers when the pc app is ready again.
Viewing everything on the phone looks good but is not as nice as checking everything out on a decent size monitor. I have a 32" monitor connected to my base and it's a lot easier to see more details during playback and live feeds. While viewing playbacks from the base the feed can be watched in hyper speeds up to 8x.
PLEASE be aware that when you enter the playback mode on the base you are only allowed to view 2 streams at a time. On the left hand side you should be able to see all your cameras that are connected to your base. Click on up to 2 cameras at a time to view the desired feeds.
In the phone app you can only view one camera at a time for playbacks.
However, the phone app is capable of showing multiple live feeds on the same page.
However, the phone app is capable of showing multiple live feeds on the same page.
With all my cameras set to 24/7 recordings I am able to go back up to 2 weeks on the currently installed 1TB HDD. Night Owl support says that the HDD can be upgraded with either a 2.5" or 3.5" HDD. The max size accepted is 8TB. Only 7200RPM or higher drives are recommended/accepted.
This pack comes with six 2K wireless cameras, but the base is capable of handling up to 10 devices. You can buy more 2K cameras or almost any of the other wireless camera options offered by Night Owl, including their 4K cameras and WIFI IP doorbell cameras.
Notifications can be set through the phone app as far as what you want to be notified of.
Overall the system is very versatile and easy to customize. The video quality is very good. Recordings can be exported or saved to your phone. Shared access can also be granted.
The cameras are IP-65 rated and can be used indoors or outdoors. They have night vision and 2 way audio to communicate with visitors or scare away intruders. A spotlight can also be set to activate on triggers to further scare intruders away.
Plus the biggest bonus of all - no fees for anything.
Aside from the PC app, the system has been very reliable with live viewing and timeline playbacks.
I have noticed that some of the triggered recordings don't always record for long enough or sometimes can miss very fast objects. However with the 24/7 recording it's easy enough to check out the triggered time on the timeline to see more.

Night Owl has really done a good job with the quality of the cameras and the whole system, and has earned a lot of respect for not charging customers to view their own recordings.

Works well with most devices

Posted by: Aaronxx7
The Terk 4 Device universal Remote is set up to work out of the box with most Samsung devices for the TV, DVD, and Blu Ray players. The remote is also pre programmed to work with most Comcast devices for the Satellite/Cable button and most Roku IR devices for the Stream button.
Please note that this universal remote has no Bluetooth or WIFI functionality so it will not work directly with all streaming devices.
Most streaming devices that offer voice control through the remote use WIFI or Bluetooth. Another way to tell if your streaming
device uses Bluetooth or WIFI is if you can still control your device even if the remote is obstructed or out of the room.

will work out of the box directly with those.
Depending on your TV there is a work around to get this remote to control non-IR devices. Most newer HDTVs have a
feature called CEC. This feature allows TVs to auto select inputs when a new device is turned on,
and it can even turn on or off connected CEC enabled devices. However, most people are not aware that the CEC feature
can actually transmit other control codes between the two devices. Even though this feature may be enabled on your
devices, to fully utilize it for full control you need to go into the TV's settings and select the CEC device you want to
control through your TV remote. Once this is done, all you need to do is select the TVs input for the CEC device and
then the remote your using for your TV now becomes your CEC device's remote. This trick should let you control
the non-IR streaming devices. Be aware not all OEM controller features might work through this connection.

The remote is nice and light with a low profile. Most of the buttons are nicely placed and easy to access. My
biggest complaint about the design is the placement of the navigation buttons. They sit inside the buttons
for volume and channel up and down. Both of these two button pads are the same height and too closely
combined. I find it kinda difficult to use these buttons quickly. The volume and channel up and down
work fine and are easy to use, but the navigation pad is not so nice. I have to angle my thumb oddly
to use these buttons without hitting something else.

RELIABLE PS5 ADDITIONAL STORAGE
on June 24, 2023
Posted by: Aaronxx7
Western Digital was the first officially licensed SSD by Sony.
WD offers 3 options for the PS5 (1TB, 2TB and 4TB)
All promising speeds up to 7,300MB/s2 read and 6,600MB/s2
All promising speeds up to 7,300MB/s2 read and 6,600MB/s2
With the heat put out by the PS5 a heatsink is imperative to ensure top performance and prevent memory failure.
All the WD licensed PS5 drives come with an exclusive heatsink.
Using an internal SSD with the minimum Sony requirements unlocks the ability to store and play PS5 and PS4 games directly to and from the SSD.
Even if you have an external SSD that surpasses Sony's requirements you will not be able to play PS5 games from it. only PS4 games are allowed to run from external storage units.
Adding an internal SSD is very easy. I would recommend checking out the directions on Sony's website or looking up a qualified video that shows the process. The toughest part of the whole procedure is removing the PS5 cover. You have to unplug all cables, and turn the PS5 over.
Pull up gently on the corner opposite the disk drive and pull down, the cover slides right off. After that, you just have to remove the metal cover plate, and then the mounting screw.
Make sure that you are very cautious about static electricity. You should take as many precautions as possible to prevent electrical damage. There are easy methods to ground yourself and prevent an unwanted charge.
Make sure that the SSD is inserted into the slot at a 45 degree angle.
You can not lay it flat and insert it into the slot, that could cause damage as it is not the correct method.
Once everything is installed properly, all you need to do is plug the PS5 back into it's original place and turn it on. The PS5 will direct you on everything else that needs to be done. Once formatted the PS5 will show a read test on the new SSD.
Mine was 6513MB/s which is less than the advertised speed, but still 1000MB/s faster than what Sony requires.
Sony's minimum SSD speed accepted is 5500MB/s.
Once the new SSD is finalized the PS5 will set up to install new games directly to the SSD. It informs you on how you can get back into the system settings to change the install location if desired.
After that you are all set. The whole process takes less than a minute if you have done this before, and less than 5 minutes for a newby.
So far the SSD has worked great, I have not noticed any difference in gameplay or performance from the games I had on the system storage vs the games installed on the new internal SSD. Everything has been working perfectly!
And now I have the storage capacity to install a lot more games!!

Impressive Power, Visuals and Sound

Posted by: Aaronxx7
This version of the M16 might not be the very top of the line but it definitely holds it's own.
An Overclocked 5Ghz i7 processor, and a RTX-4070 GPU combined with a 16" QHD (2560x1600) 3ms display. What more could you ask for?-- oh right Dolby Atmos Sound and Dolby Vision.
The M16 R1 was able to play every game I threw at it, and it even played those games at their highest graphic settings. None of the game play was laggy or even glitchy. Everything ran smooth and worked fine. While not everything ran at the highest frame rate possible it still looked good. Most of the games ran around 100fps while some of the others were up to 160 and a one was down to 65fps, but nothing got it down to a sluggish or compromising frame rate.
Keep in mind those numbers were from trying to max out the visuals, much higher frame rates were possible by adjusting the performance over the visuals.

Here are some of the frame rates I got for these particular games(at MAX graphics settings):
1. Forza Horizon 4 = 112fps
2. Red Dead Redemption 2 = 160fps
3. Halo Infinite = 108fps
4. Forza Horizon 5 = 82fps
5. Assassin's Creed Valhala = 77fps
6. The Witcher 3 = 65fps
7. Destiny 2 = 90fps
8. Fortnite = 100fps

The M16 works great out of the box, but for the best performance you might need to adjust some of the settings. It is also a good idea to play any of your more labor intensive games while connected to the power supply and plugged into an ethernet cable.

The M16 also has individual key RGB. This can be an excellent resource for certain types of games that utilize different keys for specific tasks. You can highlight all the keys and shortcut combinations you use with specific colors. Movement keys can be all blue, while shoot keys can be red, and inventory keys can be yellow, you can set the colors to pretty much anything you want in any type of combination. Through the Alienware app you can automatically set these types of profiles for each game, the way you want it.
The Dolby Atmos is actually pretty impressive for just being a laptop. While running the sound demo, and being close enough to the laptop, you can actually hear all the spacial audio in the directions intended. The audio is impressively loud as well. If you are sitting a ways back from the laptop a lot of the directional audio will be lost.
Overall this is a pretty impressive laptop with all the major upgrades needed to get the job done at a cost that's still way under the top of the line systems.

Odor Free Convience

Posted by: Aaronxx7
At First glance the Litter robot appears to be a lot bigger than a traditional litter box, however it's footprint is actually around the same size as any traditional box. The only difference is the height. Other than that the Litter Robot will fit in any area you currently have for your old litter box.
There is very little setup once everything is removed from the box. There is an optional clip on "fence" that snaps into the lower opening of the litter box. The "fence" is just a small barrier that forces the cats to more so climb out of the box, instead of just walking straight out possibly dragging litter along the way. The fence helps to keep the litter in the robot, by adding that extra barrier.
Inside the packaging is a small pamphlet that instructs you on how to download their app.
All instruction on setting up the box are step-by-step thru the app. It doesn't come with an actual instruction booklet, but there is a downloadable manual available thru the website.

The first thing it's going to want to do is connect to your phone and then the internet. There is no need to go into your phone's settings to connect directly to the robot, just download the app and it does it all for you.
There are four status bar lights that glow different colors to help with setup and identify problems.
Refer to your app or the included pamphlet to reference what the different colors mean.

Whiskers is concerned with your cat's safety which is why it continuously analyzes 4 different zones
to identify when a cat or anything else is inside the litter box. The sensors are located in upper rim of the litter box. If the sensors are tripped or blocked in anyway the litterbox will not start any of the cycles.

Shortly after your pet has exited the litter robot it will start the cleaning cycle. You can set the delay between the exit and the start of the cycle to any of the available times (3,7,15,25 or 30 minutes).
When the cycles run it is very quiet. A cleaning cycle last under 2minutes (1:40 to be exact)

Our cats took to it right away. Both cats sat & watched while setting the litter robot up.
Once it was connected and we added the litter, they hopped in for a test run. Cats instinctively look
for areas in which they can bury their waste to help mask their presence to other predators. So sand, loose
gravel and litter are perfect for their needs, and will always be their first choice for going potty.

The interior of the litter robot seems a little small, but we have two cats, one is almost 12lbs and the other is around 20lbs and neither one of them had any issues using the litter robot.
The unit also tracks litter supply and waste levels in real time, and lets you know when each area needs attention.
Whisker's does sell their own brand of litter, however this can be used with any CLUMPING litter.

You can track all activities thru the app. It will show you usage times and your cat's weight. It lets you know when the box is in use and when a cleaning cycle is starting/ending.
It will even send a notification to your phone once a cycle has been completed. Whiskers is planning an update later in the year which will give the litter box Individual cat recognition, so it will be easier to identify each of your cat's routines.
The litter robot came with a roll of refill bags for the waste bin & a canister of cleaning wipes. It also came with a package of Odor Trap packs. These packs can go in the waste bin or if your robot came with a filter, it would go in the filter pod. (My unit did not come with a filter.)
Our unit came with a Litter Trap mat. It’s good for containing and trapping any littler that makes it way out with your cat, so less litter makes it into other areas of the house.
After a few days of use it I noticed that I was not getting any notifications to my phone. I checked the app & saw there was a firmware update. I was able to run the update, even though I was not home near the robot. After the update ran, the app said my robot was no longer connected. I was a little annoyed cuz that I thought I would have to wait another few hours to get home & reconnect, but it reconnected on it's own.
I love the convenience of it. I no longer have to scoop out the litter box by hand & have not had to deal with any odors since using the robot. I used it the first few days without using the odor traps, to see how well it blocks odors on its own. While the odor traps do have a nice, citrusy smell to it, I would not deem them necessary for usage.
Everything drops down into the waste bin & when it comes time to empty it, you just remove & tie off the bag. It’s like a diaper genie for kitties.

The Greenworks electric pressure washer works great to clean virtually anything. The high pressure washer cuts through dirt, grease, mildew, and stains with ridiculous ease.
I used the washer on several different types of items and it cut through everything in seconds. If I had to use a regular hose nozzle, scrub brush and cleanser it would have taken me
hours or days to get the same results as this pressure washer did in less than a minute. It works great to clean your car and wheels, yard furniture, stairs, wooden decks, plastic or
metal sheds. It even works great to help strip paint from the exterior of a house and some other structures.

The design of the washer is very helpful. It has a spot on it for everything included. The nozzles are conveniently stored in easy to reach spots right by the handle. The extra long
power cord wraps nicely around the brackets on the back of the unit. There are even spots on the handle to hold the gun and hose for the gun. although these two holders don't
really work that great. I found that the gun and hose would pop out of place sometimes when moving the washer around. Some additional bungee cables can fix that though.

The unit can be flipped upright for a smaller footprint when storing it. The oversized wheels work great for traversing any type of terrain.
I used to own a gas pressure washer, and this electric washer is so much more convenient, no more trips to the gas station, no more exhaust to smell, and this electric washer is
so much quieter than the gas models. Once hooked up and plugged in it takes a few seconds for the motor to build pressure and then it's ready to use.

The one gallon soap reservoir works great. Most other devices have half the capacity or less. It's nice not to have to stop and refill the jug as often. The only thing needed to do
to use the soap, is to change the nozzle on the end of the wand.

Even though this pressure washer is rated at 3000-PSI keep in mind that if the water supply you are using is restricted, you will not get the full pressure capacity of the unit.
Water pressure to your house or business can effect this, as well as the type of garden hose used to supply the washer. A solid, heavy duty water hose is recommended. Narrow
hoses and the stretchy collapsible hoses can sometimes cause flow issues as well.

Another thing to keep in mind is that cold weather can ruin pressure washers in one night. Even though the washer motor has a ten-year warranty, and the overall unit has a 3 year warranty
damage caused by frozen lines is most likely not covered. Ice inside the unit can easily destroy parts inside the motor, and handle. All it takes is a pin hole in the unit to render it worthless.
If you live in cold weather areas, make sure this is stored properly in a place where it will not freeze.

I was able to play several hardware demanding games with very favorable results.
Most everything ran at 60 to 100+ FPS with in game visuals set to max. The only game
that I played that had lower than 60 was Forza Horizon 5, which ran at 41FPS.
All the games even Forza still looked great and played smoothly without glitching,
freezing or crashing. Of course I did have the Fan and GPU set to their highest
possible setting and the laptop was plugged into an AC outlet.

I would like to say that the new fan architecture and design has a much quieter
level of operation than previous models. I have an ASUS gaming laptop from
2 years ago that sounds like a plane trying to take off when the fans are on high.
The A16 fans are more efficient and create about 50% less noise.

everything run a little smoother. Most games alone were easily consuming
over 50% of the available RAM. Make sure you get compatible RAM, look for
at least DDR5 4800MHz. As newer stuff comes out, it is usually backwards
compatible, but older stuff typically will not work at all.

Some issues but still fun
on April 10, 2023
Posted by: Aaronxx7
The Snaptain P30 GPS drone is set up for beginner users, however the overall functionality of it still seems a little complicated.Not complicated in the sense of the word as hard to understand. More so complicated in all the steps and controls to use. I have had to recalibrate the compass several times, before the drone will find a GPS signal and let you fly it ( It seems this happensmore in my backyard than out in a field). They weren't kidding when they said that any structure could cause interference with its signals.Typically it's a gamble as to whether or not the video is synced and showing. I usually have to go through a small ritual of on and off buttons to get the three devices to work well with each other ( 1.Phone, 2.Drone, and 3.Remote - works best)If the phone is not showing any video, then the remote seems to be constantly searching for the device to connect to.These problems are not consistent, but they do happen just enough times to note.
The first time you turn on your drone indoors you will notice that it will not find a GPS signal and therefore will not fly. It will be impossible to launch unless you turn off the GPS mode. This can be achieved by holding the "Speed Switch" button on the remote for 3 seconds while the drone is not in the air. This ATTI mode can also be used outdoors when the GPS signal is too weak for connection. Keep in mind that without the GPS your drone will not be able to Return To Home on its own if the battery is weak or gone out of range. It is also advised to keep a good line of sight when using this mode to better track the drone. The camera will still work just the same in this mode.
The physical controls don't seem very natural compared to most video games, making the movement feel awkward and a little difficult to get used to. I realize this might be natural for a lot of other drones, but it still seems like the up and down should be tied to the yaw left and yaw right stick. So that the right stick can be used to fly forwards and backwards as well as look right and left. Instead these four items are paired in the opposite way.
If you prefer the stick controls swapped, it is possible by holding the camera button for at least 3 seconds then powering on the remote while still holding the camera button. By default it will always be in Left hand mode unless you switch it to Right Hand mode while starting it every time. Left Hand mode is the way it comes out of the box.
The best beginner feature that the drone offers is its hover in place feature. I have used cheaper drones that need a constant user inputto hover in place. As long as the propellers are in good shape the drone will hover in place with no issues. This is even true in mildly windy conditions. I was surprised that at 400 feet in the air on a windy day the drone stayed pretty much where I put it. Another great feature is the RTH ( Return To Home ) feature. When activated the drone will find its way back to where it originally took off from, within GPS limitations. This feature is only available when the GPS is active. There were several times where the drone seemed unresponsive to my directional inputs, because I went just outside its limit ( because of other obstacles ), and it was still able to return safely to my location.
Keep in mind though, that this drone does NOT have any type of obstacle avoidance features. So do not expect it to fly around buildings or poles to get back to its location. If for some reason you do end up losing your drone because it got stuck behind something or in a tree, you can use the locate feature in the app, as long as the GPS was active at the time you lost it.
The drone does not have any IP ratings so I would not recommend flying it in wet weather or above any bodies of water. Especially while trying to push its limits. I have noticed that very low flight paths tend to cause the drone to crash, it appears to get sucked down to the ground from the backdraft of the propellers or something.
In beginner mode the height and distance increments are limited to around 98ft in both height and distance. Through the app you
change these parameters once you activate the Advanced mode.
change these parameters once you activate the Advanced mode.
I have been able to reach a max height of 438ft, but only a few hundred feet on the distance measurements. Video cuts out at about 350 feet, which is actually very impressive as most wifi signals bottom out around 300ft outdoors. Once you come back in range the video signal resumes on your phone. I have yet to find a location open enough to reach a distance of 2650ft. I called tech support to verify the distances, and they said they are possible under the right conditions.
The drone does come with a Micro SD slot in its belly. I would recommend using this for your video captures as it will be more reliable than just using your phone. Plus the video signal to the phone will cut out due to distance and other interferences.
The Photos and Videos are of excellent quality in brightly lit areas, low light image captures do not turn out very well, as there are no infrared , external lights, or low lux options available. The 4k image sensor creates great pictures with lots of detail. The color and contrast seem to be very good as well.
Most of the Smart Functions for capturing video and snapshots work pretty well. Except I have not been able to get the GPS follow me feature to work correctly. The past few times I tried it (on different days) the drone went in opposite directions from me. I'm not sure if it has something to do with the area I am in or not, but it definitely didn't follow me. I was in a park with plenty of space so I am not sure about this feature.
Audio can be recorded , but it has to be manually activated every time you turn on the drone and app.
The Image Follow works well, but the drone keeps its place, and only turns to keep the subject in camera view, it doesn't actually leave its spot.
The Gesture Photo and Video work as indicated in close proximity of approx 10ft or less.
The rest of the Smart features work very well as long as the flight path is clear. Keep in mind there is no automatic obstacle avoidance software or sensors installed, so make sure the potential flight path is clear before sending it on its way.
Aside from using the drone to take scenic pictures, it might work well to make some home movies, but they are going to look like home movies. Even though the picture quality is very good, the camera bounces around a lot. If there is any type of Image Stabilization the bounces from moving forward or backwards are very noticeable. If the drone is hovering and you are just turning the camera from right to left, it actually looks pretty smooth. However wind can quickly ruin these types of shots. I am sure a good video editor can trim out all the bad shots and make something usable out of what is left.

The drone is perfect for assessing needed repairs on high or roof top structures. It is a lot easier to fly a drone around a roof or apartment building to look for damages, than grabbing a ladder and risking a fall. I'm sure there are other areas a drone could get to that a person might have trouble reaching as well. So this might be a great option for a business as well as recreational use.
I might add that I have crashed into two dozen or more objects so far, and the drone still works like new, and I haven't needed to replace the propellers, so I give it big kudos for durability so far. It does come with spare propellers for die hard crash fans.
When everything is working the drone is actually pretty fun to use, however the battery only lasts about 20 minutes under good conditions. It then takes 3 hours to charge the drone battery. The remote control seems to charge much faster. So if you are looking to get a lot of pictures or just enjoy flying it around, you might want to grab some extra batteries.
Overall this is fun to use, I have not been able to take it anywhere really nice since I got it because of work and a rash of bad weather in my area.It does seem a little too limited on the distance feature, but the height is really good. At 400ft in the air I can barely see the drone, it looks like a dot in the sky. It is a little buggy in some of the operations, but it is nice for a tiny portable drone you can take anywhere. Plus it doesn't need to be registered in order to be used ( at least not in my area, make sure you check your local drone usage laws ).

Best Sound and Features / Comfortable / Compact
on February 23, 2023
Posted by: Aaronxx7
The LG Tone Free TF8s are definitely my favorite pair of earbuds.
They have more features than some of the other competitive brands, and
have great sound.
The charging case is nice and compact, and can even comfortably fit in your pocket.
The case comes with a a couple awesome and unique abilities. It can connect your
wireless earbuds to any audio source with a 3.5mm audio jack. This feature works
great. I was even able to connect the earbuds to my PS5 through the audio jack
on my controller. The audio sounded great, and I was even able to use the earbuds
for voice chat with the mic on the earbuds. The other impressive feature offered here
is the UVnano. The UVnano works automatically during the charging of your earbuds.
It only takes ten minutes for the UVnano to sanitize your earbuds. When the case
is closed and the earbuds are in place, a combination of a nanometer and UV LEDs
kill up to 99.9% of bacteria in and around the actual earbuds.
The battery life is typically 10 hours, but you can use the fully charged case to get a max
of 30hours of use before having to find an outlet somewhere.
The earbuds also come with a dimensional sound system from Meridian. It's a system
similar to Dolby surround with 3D directional and spatial audio. Meridian sound systems
can be found in Range Rover and Jaguar vehicles as well as other high end applications.
The directional audio is very precise and and very robust. The TF8s use Meridian's HSP
to improve the acoustics in the earbuds. Headphone Spatial Processing improves the unnatural
soundstage that typically occurs with traditional headphones. The system uses cross talk
between the right and left channels in combination with special filters to replicate the
acoustic shadowing caused by the user's own head. It tries to create a more natural
and stable out of the head soundstage without effecting overall tone or balance.
The HSP is actually pretty effective as it does sound like the audio is coming from outside
the head, as if you weren't really wearing the buds.
In addition to the HSP, the TF8s have a Hybrid ANC (Active Noise Cancellation) Technology
that helps to filter out unwanted background audio while in use. Traditional ANC uses
one set of microphones, either on the outside or on the inside to try to filter unwanted noises out.
Hybrid ANC uses a mic on both the outside and the inside to better measure and filter the
background noises.
The design itself is pretty comfortable, especially with the Swivel Grip and soft Eargel adapters.
There are additional size adapters included with the buds for slightly larger or smaller ears.
Cleaning is easy, especially since the case sanitizes the buds every time they are charged.
However you can even give them a quick light rinse down as these are IP67 rated. These
are dust and water resistant for up to 30minutes in one meter of water.
The buds will give you their best performance when using both at the same time, but they
can also work individually with either bud being left in the case. You can refer to the included
manual for tap functionality and available features.
Calls are very clear on both ends of the line. I have even started using these instead of my vehicle's
built in hands free kit, as the tone and clarity is so much higher than the speakerphone in the car.
I used to have a difficult time trying to understand people with accents through the car's speakerphone
as some of the bass and treble are washed away with other noises through the speakers.
It is so much easier to actually hear the syllables being pronounced through these buds.
If you download the LG Tone Free app, you can have a lot more control over the earbuds, by swapping
between the ambient and noise cancelling modes as well as adjusting the EQ features. Through the app
you can even have the buds read your incoming texts. You can change the tap/touch functionality for
each bud, and even use it to locate your lost buds.
Overall these are very comfortable, and have incredible sound and bass. The features are just as impressive
as the sound quality. I just can't believe how much they packed into such a small lightweight device.
These will now be the new standard that I will judge other buds by.
