Good upgraded system
on November 20, 2017
Posted by: Jimmy
from San Antonio
I’ve been watching this product since it’s debut. The new upgraded system(2.0) adds a rechargeable battery pack and/or a wired solution to the battery woes of the previous model. Set up was easy enough and the smartphone app is intuitive. The cameras have motion or sound activation that initiate cloud recording of 7 days without any additional subscription charges. This is a nice wireless(WiFi)security system that beats the heck out of running wires through my attic. If I had one knock it would be that it doesn’t seem* to integrate into an existing security system; I currently have Vivent. That aside I’m very happy with it and will be shopping for additional cameras soon.

Multifunctional groomer
on November 20, 2017
Posted by: Jimmy
from San Antonio
I wasn’t too sure how much I would need this groomer but over the course of a few weeks I found myself using several of the included attachments. It comes with a large clipper and all of the guards; good for trimming your hair or beard, a smaller clipper and guards for tighter spots like around the ears, and a nose/ear tip. The attachments pop on and off easily as do the guards. An organizer for the pieces would be nice(it does come with a storage bag). The rechargeable battery life hasn’t been an issue and is a nice alternative to always looking for batteries. This groomer replaces two of my other trimmers even though I’m not ready to start cutting my own hair. This is a must if you like to keep a clean trimmed look.

Impressive
on October 29, 2017
Posted by: Jimmy
from San Antonio
I own quite a few pairs of bluetooth headphone/earbuds. These impressed me right out of the box. The moment I opened the packaging I could tell these were going to be nice. They seemed to have put a very high attention to detail into this product. The earbuds come inside a small charging case about the size of a large egg. When I opened the case I immediately heard a voice telling me the charge status and directions on how to pair. A few clicks on the iPhone and I was in business. For the size, the sound is impressively clear and rich. Remember these aren't meant to be studio headsets they're designed for exercise. They claim to be sweat and dust proof and have a decent IP rating. I've ruined more than one set of sweat proof headsets before so I'll have to wait and see how these hold up over the long haul. Also because they're in-the-ear I don't get as hot as I do with my over-the-ear headsets. The earbuds come with different size silicone attachments to custom fit to your unique fit and comfort. So far I haven't had one fall out yet but after wearing them for a few hours my ear did start to get a little irritated, but what do you expect? Controls on the actual earbuds are a bit difficult but I found that I can get around that by using my apple watch. As far as phone calls I find that only the right ear sends audio, a shortcoming, but not necessarily a deal breaker. Other reviews I read spoke of poor connections and dropped signals. I can happily report that with my phone in the center of my house I was able to go into the far reaches without signal loss. All in all the sound is quite good, there are no wires to get hung up or flop around on the back of my head, and the battery life is excellent. I would give these 4.5 stars with small knocks for the controls and phone call issues I already mentioned. If you exercise regularly you should really consider investing in these as a wireless option.

Solid stand alone wifi camera
on October 22, 2017
Posted by: Jimmy
from San Antonio
Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this camera based on the price point and the name brand. It was a bit difficult to set up as is the case with most wifi products that require a second device such as your phone. The iOS phone app is relatively straight forward and easy to navigate. It does require a separate micro SD card to record, otherwise you can only live stream. Picture quality is sufficient at 720p, inside. If you will be using this for outside security I highly recommend at least 1080p with a strong night vision array and the highest fps you can afford. Overall I'd buy this product again for a single location camera. If you are looking for a home security system, it does not appear that this will tie into additional cameras or DVRs.

nice 23" monitor
on October 22, 2017
Posted by: Jimmy
from San Antonio
I've been using this monitor for about a week now with no issues. Its light and thin and was easy to assemble. So far I haven't watched any movies or really put it's advertised contrast ratio to the test but it gets the job done with the apps I use daily. In researching other monitors of the same size I noticed it to be priced lower than most. Overall I'd recommend this monitor for anyone looking to bump up to a larger screen but not looking to break the bank.

Truly a surprise

Verified Purchase:Yes
Am I supposed to review the movie or the movie disc? Bought this movie months ago for my little girl. Yesterday she asks me to watch it with her. Reluctantly I agreed. To my surprise it was really really good. Its animated, its set in Mexico, and it might make you cry. Thats what I heard!

The new Multi-Touch subsystem in the new iPad 9.7" and iPad Pro gives Apple Pencil striking capabilities alongside pixel perfect precision. Using incredibly sensitive pressure and tilt sensors, Apple Pencil instantly recognizes when you are pressing harder or shifting its angle. So you can vary line weight, create subtle shading, and produce a wide range of artistic effects — just like with a conventional pencil.

Good, could be great
on August 20, 2017
Posted by: Jimmy
from San Antonio
Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this $100 stylus to compliment my new iPad pro. The wife had a bit to say about the price point, but its for work! I wasn't real sure about it at first, in fact I had tried using a stylus before but it never took. Now I don't even want to use my iPad without it. But... I always look for what could have been done better so Tim if you're listening.... Make me an Apple pencil 2.0.
Cons:
First the removable charging tip, while magnetic, should screw open. And function as an eraser.
Second it could really use a clip like every other pen in the world(I know its a "pencil" hence the eraser suggestion).
Pros: Awesome response, accuracy, and control.

Big headphones, big sound
on August 20, 2017
Posted by: Jimmy
from San Antonio
Verified Purchase:Yes
I won't likely ever spend $200 -$300 on a set of headphones so when I saw these on sale for $40 I jumped on them. Overall I was impressed with the big sound, the deep base, and the comfort. They can function as bluetooth or wired headphones which gives you options if battery life is an issue. Because they're an over-the-ear design they make me a little too hot to workout with them, but sitting and watching videos or music is no problem. If you need the name brand, buy the name brand, if you need the extra, $260 buy these.

Listen to music during the morning commute with these wireless JVC headphones. They have a three-button remote that lets you control the volume and cycle through music tracks, and the memory phone earpieces create a seal in your ears to reduce background noise. These Bluetooth-enabled JVC headphones have a 14-hour battery life for extended use.

Not bad for the money

Posted by: Jimmy

Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought these as a replacement to my LG Elites and I didn't want to spend another $200. Overall the sound is good, the earbuds stay in my ear, and the battery life has not been an issue. On the negative, the neck band tends to wander and I don't like the earbuds dangling. For $40 I'm on the fence. Torn between the price and the function. Buy them if thats all you're willing to spend or opt for another pair if you want what you want.
