Strong Bass for Sports Headphones
on June 3, 2018
Posted by: CriticalEye
from Pensacola, FL, USA
I’m used to exercising with sports headphones that securely clip over the ear, so I was skeptical that these would stay in place. Thanks to the unique design of the earpieces, they stayed secure about 90% of the time. Definitely better than others I’ve tried. I have long hair which causes a bit of drag & pull on the cord. When my hair is up & not a factor, they still didn’t feel completely secure. I also don’t care for the feel of the cord on the back of my neck, especially when sweaty. It becomes irritating after a while.
I was very impressed with the sound. These are the first in-ear sports phones I’ve tried that have good bass. Sound is full & crisp. Also, the Sony App has an equalizer and many other options to tweak to your liking. Bluetooth connectivity is flawless & easy to pair.
The noise canceling feature is only slightly noticeable & about the same as others I’ve tried in this category. The only true NC I’ve experienced comes from a full over-the-ear style headphone.
Overall, I’d say sound quality is five stars & comfort/security is three stars.

Get professional-quality color documents with sharp black text-at a lower price than laser. Original HP inks deliver up to 50% lower color cost. Print impressive plain paper documents that resist water and fading, using pigment inks designed for the office. Archived documents retain black text and color quality for decades. Affordable, individual inks and a high-capacity black cartridge option offer a great value.

Best Fit but Too Pricey
on May 11, 2018
Posted by: CriticalEye
from Pensacola, FL, USA
Verified Purchase:Yes
I’ve tried several non-HP brand alternative cartridges and they rarely work out. Quality-wise, this is the absolute best fit for an HP printer. Price-wise, they are too costly. Also, HP’s technology knows immediately when a non-HP cartridge is inserted into your printer, and promptly voids the warranty. Unfortunately, this is the way the printer industry is rigged. You can buy a decent printer at a reasonable price or even as a loss leader, but you’ll pay exorbitant rates for ink for the lifetime of the machine.
Bottom line: 5 stars for the quality of these ink cartridges + 1 star for the price = 2 stars as a final verdict

Faster Than the Fast Charging Stand
on May 11, 2018
Posted by: CriticalEye
from Pensacola, FL, USA
Verified Purchase:Yes
Perfect if your vehicle does not have a USB charging port. Just plug into the cigarette lighter/DC 12V socket to charge. Note: it will not charge unless the car is running or auxiliary power is activated. This unit comes with both a USB-C for new phones & a Micro USB for older phones or tablets. It also has 2 USB ports to charge multiple devices simultaneously. I tested this against my Samsung Fast Charge Wireless Stand and found the vehicle charger to be about 30 minutes faster than the stand on average.

Sleek But Tough
on May 9, 2018
Posted by: CriticalEye
from Pensacola, FL, USA
Verified Purchase:Yes
I purchased a Defender case for my Samsung Note 3 several years ago with excellent results. I’m sure I dropped the Note 3 a half dozen times with absolutely no negative repercussions. I decided to buy the Pursuit this time, but also purchased a new Defender case for another phone in the family. The greatest difference between the two is the rubber on the Defender case is a bit stickier and gives a much better grip than the Pursuit case. While the Pursuit has a slicker finish, it has 2 features I prefer over the Defender. The port covers are very flush and much easier to close on the Pursuit. Also, the case redirects the downward facing speaker in an upward direction. No more cupping your hand over the speaker to enhance audio output.
PROS:
- Tight, solid fitting
- Tough, resilient & sleek
- Upward speaker redirection
CONS:
- Does not come with glass protector
- Pricey

I purchased a Defender case for my Samsung Note 3 several years ago with excellent results, so I was expecting the same or better outcome with this iteration. I wasn’t disappointed! This Defender case is rugged & sturdy, yet not too bulky. I also purchased a Pursuit case for another phone in the family. The greatest difference between the two is the rubber on the Defender case is a bit stickier and gives a much better grip than the Pursuit case.
PROS:
- Tight, solid fitting
- Tough & resilient
- Belt clip included
CONS:
- Does not come with glass protector
- Belt clip/holster is very bulky
- Port covers are difficult to close properly

Not So Fast for a Fast Charger
on May 9, 2018
Posted by: CriticalEye
from Pensacola, FL, USA
Verified Purchase:Yes
Really wanted to love this charger. It looks good, but unfortunately doesn’t perform as well as I’d hoped. I tested with my new Samsung S9+ against the standard USB cable/power adapter that comes with the phone (plugged into wall outlet, not computer). In a side-by-side comparison at 66% charge, the USB cable displayed 45 minutes to fully charge & the Fast Charge Wireless Stand displayed 1 hour to fully charge. I’ve tried this comparison several times and the USB cable to wall outlet always charges faster. Bottom line: If you’re not in a rush, the stand is most convenient. If you need the fastest charge, the USB to wall outlet is the winner.
PROS:
- Modern design
- Ease of use – just place on stand to charge. Eliminates need to open port cover on protector case (i.e. OtterBox)
- Built-in quiet fan for cooling
- Easily view incoming messages while charging
CONS:
- Slower than USB cable wall outlet charging
- Takes up desk space

Cool-Running Gaming Laptop
on April 28, 2018
Posted by: CriticalEye
from Pensacola, FL, USA
Out-of-the-box – very easy, audibly-guided setup only took a few minutes.
Design – Very sleek, subtle angular design with red accents and red LED keyboard – 5 stars!
Display/Graphics – So far, I’m able to play every game at 1080p without any tweaking of the graphics and no noticeable sluggishness. Color is very good and brightness is strong.
Trackpad – Responsive and average, but a mouse or controller is a necessity for gaming anyway
Speakers – Very tinny, but typical for a laptop. Absolutely no base, but fine for gaming
Heat – This is always one of my greatest concerns with laptops. I’ve always found it difficult to enjoy gaming on a laptop due to the quick over-heating problem. During gaming, there is only a slight fan noise, but it never gets hot. This is very impressive and has never happened with all the laptops I’ve owned.
Battery Life – Good. Acer lists 5½ hours, and, so far, I’ve gotten just over 5 hours, but I’m sure this will vary depending on usage.
PROS
- Beautiful design
- Full-sized backlit keyboard
- Consistently cool temperature
- Runs quiet
- Fast graphics
- Ports – headphone jack, HDMI, Ethernet, 3 USB 3.0, 1 USB Type-C, SD card reader
- Full HD 1080p display
CONS
- Weight – a bit heavy at 5.95 lbs.
- Unimpressive speakers
- Shows fingerprints easily
- No touch-screen

Semi-Helpful for Cord Cutters
on April 15, 2018
Posted by: CriticalEye
from Pensacola, FL, USA
I was so hoping to like & enjoy this antenna, especially after reading about other Mohu products. We cut the cord & the outrageous monthly expense of cable TV several months ago and searched online for economic hacks. We tried a couple options with decent results. By attaching an unplugged extension cord plug to the end of the coaxial cable, we were able to receive several over-the-air (OTA) digital stations. We also tried attaching opened paperclips to the coaxial copper core & taping it in a window sill, which also allowed us to view some OTA channels. I was expecting the Mohu to give better results.
Setup & installation is a snap. All the items needed are included in the box: Antenna, 10 ft. & 6 ft. Coaxial Cables, Coax Coupler, Mounting Hardware, Instruction Manual. The antenna is multi-directional; so, according to the directions, there is no need to point it in any particular direction. However, I found profound differences in the number of channels detected with each configuration I tested. So, direction AND orientation are both critical to the process.
My TV sits in front of a large picture window at the front of the house with no immediate obstructions outside (trees/shrubs). When I placed the antenna in front & below the TV like a soundbar, as suggested on the box, the Mohu was unable to scan even a single channel, whereas my paperclip configuration received 11 channels. After that complete fail, I began the tedious process of moving the antenna & aiming it in every imaginable direction (behind the TV, turned backwards on the window sill, facing left & right on the sill, elevated on a cardboard box on the window sill-left to right, etc.). After each new placement I re-scanned for channels. Although it showed 14-20 channels on avg., most of those channels weren't viewable, or they appeared clear, only to digitize after a few seconds.
I finally dragged the antenna, cable & “power injector” to a side window & plugged it in. Technically, this resulted in more scanned channels. However, most of the new channels found, digitized & weren't viewable after a few seconds. It also didn’t detect even the basic local Fox network affiliate.
In the end, the Mohu did detect a few more channels, albeit obscure ones, than my paperclip hack, but I’m not impressed enough to recommend the product. I prefer a minimalist look to the clutter of the Mohu setup, which only would’ve been worthwhile if it had detected a fair number of channels. I’ll probably return to my hacked version as I’ve no interest in the few extra channels found, like: Grit, Bounce, Ion, Me, Charge! & Comet, etc

Best Electric Toothbrush
on March 25, 2018
Posted by: CriticalEye
from Pensacola, FL, USA
I’ve owned 2 older versions of this toothbrush for over 10 years, so I’m already a fan. When I originally sought to purchase an electric toothbrush, research showed Sonicare appeared to be the top of the line, and from my experience, it still is. Once I started using Sonicare on a regular basis years ago, my dental hygienist confirmed that my teeth & gums were in far better shape than when I used a manual brush alone. The good news is: this new model keeps what works & incorporates some nice improvements.
If you’re new to Sonicare, operation is very simple & easy. The unit arrives pre-charged; so it can be used instantly out of the box. It comes with one brush head which easily slides onto the handle. The handle has just 2 buttons—1 for turning the unit on/off & the other for selecting 1 of 3 brush modes (clean, white, or gum care). LEDs immediately illuminate when you pick up the handle, indicating the intensity level selected, the brush mode selected, the battery status, & whether or not you need to replace the brush head. A full instruction book is enclosed, but operation is intuitive if you’re not one for reading instructions.
The new look is very sleek & hi-tech. The feel of the handle casing is much smoother than the older versions. One of the most notable improvements is to the brush head. With the previous models, I was often concerned that I might be applying too much or too little pressure with the brush head. I also wondered whether I might be overusing the brush head before replacing it, or underusing it & thus replacing a brush head too early. The new smart brush head takes away all the guesswork by incorporating a microchip in each brush head which syncs with the handle to track brush head wear for you. An advanced pressure sensor measures the pressure you apply while brushing. If you apply too much pressure, the toothbrush gives immediate feedback—changing the vibration & therefore the brushing sensation—alerting you of the need to reduce the pressure you’re applying. By measuring the pressure you apply & the # of hours of use, the system reminds you when it’s time to replace the brush head.
The only downside is the need to keep a manual toothbrush handy just for brushing your tongue after you’ve finished brushing with the Sonicare. Overall, this is my top pick for an electric toothbrush.

Best Video Doorbell
on March 24, 2018
Posted by: CriticalEye
from Pensacola, FL, USA
Nest does a very good job pre-qualifying the buyer as to whether this product will work in your home. They also recommend a professional installer. I have zero experience dealing with home wiring, but decided to give it a go anyway.
Setup: The instructions on Nest’s website as well as on the phone App are excellent! As they recommend, you should view the short install video for an overview of the process. Once you download the Nest App & create an account, it will guide you step-by-step through the entire process with precision. I was delighted by this, especially after being disappointed so many times by other firms’ lame & inaccurate instructions for new product installs. Nest hit it out of the park in this area. I was able to install the doorbell with no issues or assistance in about 30 minutes.
The product is packaged compactly & includes everything you need for installation except basics that the average homeowner would already have on hand (screwdriver, level, drill). My door frame is wood, so I didn’t need to break out the drill. Its width is very slim (1.7”), especially compared to the wider Ring we considered. It fit perfectly on the door frame covering the space of the old doorbell & looks very minimal & hi-tech!
Highlights:
- Easy installation
- Thin design & sleek look
- Video is HD UXGA which shows a person from head-to-toe
- Audio has very clear microphone & speaker
- App has facial recognition
- 24/7 streaming (with WiFi) vs. just motion detection
- Night Vision
- Will store prerecorded messages
- Additional Nest cameras & accessories are easily added

Can it print wireless from a Samsung Galaxy Book S

As long as your device can download the HP Smart App, you should be fine. The App will let you know if the device is incompatible. I tried it on an old Samsung Note 3 and it let me know the device was too old.
Hope that helps.

I live in an apartment with the loudest bunch of people above me,Do you think it might mask a dog's bark?Or loud thuds? Thanks!

I have loud screaming children & mowers nearby on a regular basis. These definitely help mask those sounds enough to sleep & study through.
Not sure what you can do about the loud thuds though as that's something you usually feel as well as hear.

Sleep better. Cover unwanted noise with soothing sounds. Bose noise-masking sleepbuds™ are uniquely designed for sleep. They don’t stream music or have acoustic noise cancellation. Instead, these tiny, wireless earbuds use pre-loaded, soothing sounds to cover up unwanted noises, so you can get to sleep — and stay asleep. Plus, unlike traditional earplugs, they’re super comfortable and made to stay in place all night long, even if you sleep on your side. 1. Choose your sound, 2. Set an alarm, 3. Fall asleep without unwanted noise.
 

How will these work against Smoke Detectors etc in case of emergencies?

The sound volume is customizable, so you could test them against any noise you want to be aware of. However, even with the volume up, I've had no trouble hearing loud sounds. Hope that helps.
