Clips Brings AI to Casual Photography
on June 11, 2018
Posted by: gadgetguy11
from Lexington, KY
Clips is a groundbreaking camera, offering Artificial Intelligence to guide video & photo capturing.
I brought Clips to a restaurant with 6 friends & balanced it on top of a ketchup bottle, to get it at face level. Rotate the ring around the lens 1/4 turn to the right to activate the camera. Enjoy the venue & let the camera learn the situation & decide when to take videos & photos.
Results: Clips captured a lot of smiles! Simply put, if you broke into a big smile or laugh, Clips captured your photo!
Most images were sharp and clear, at 1080P resolution. A few of the 17 images were blurred. These appear to have blurred the individuals who were sitting next to the camera - they were too close to produce clear motion.
Clips does not capture sound.
I pressed the white button below the lens to manually capture several still photos at the table. These still images came out tack sharp, with clarity near Smart Phone quality.
Bottom line: AI is the future in cameras, available today from Google in Clips. It is based on a forward thinking AI concept. There is plenty of room to improve Clips. Initial decisions of which images to capture appear to be made based simply upon movement & smiles. As Clips learns familiar faces, better decisions on which scenes to capture are likely.
I recommend Clips as a fun camera to add capability to your camera arsenal.

"Relic" Wireless In-Ear Headphones
on June 3, 2018
Posted by: gadgetguy11
from Lexington, KY
PREFACE:
Rowkin Surge Charge Wireless In-Ear Headphones feature a budget "Relic" design; they produce good sound.
LIKES:
1- Sound quality is good.
2- Rowkin Surge Charge are lightweight, despite their large size.
3- Micro USB cable is included to charge the case.
4- Comfortable, secure fit with ear stabilizers.
5- Press a button on the outside of the charging case to activate a battery level digital bar graph. See this detail in attached photo.
CONCERNS:
1- Largest In-Ear Headphones I have tested.
2- Large charging case is too thick to fit in your pocket: 4.75" X 2.75" X 2". See side profile of massive charging case in attached photo.
3- Each earbud must be plugged in using wires separately within the charging case. This is unheard of today. All of the separate earbuds I have tested have gold contacts that connect with the charging case when dropped in. These earbuds have individual micro USB jacks, making the headphones extra large. You have to remove the tiny rubber covers off of each Micro USB jack and connect each with wires within the charging case every time you charge them. After charging, you have to cover up both charging jacks with the rubber caps to prevent moisture intrusion. This is time consuming & difficult to do with large fingers.
4- Bluetooth disconnects right, left or both ear pieces and reconnects 5 or 6 times / hour. No other In-Ear Headphones that I have tested have this poor Bluetooth connection issue.
5- Unlike other Wireless In-Ear Headphones, there is no app, so equalization & configurable sound is not adjustable. If you care to enhance the bass, or tweak the treble, you will have to make that adjustment manually on your phone or tablet.
6- Rowkin Surge Charge do not offer Noise Cancellation.
7- Telephone calls sound tinny, like you are using a "cheap phone", to both parties.
CONCLUSION:
There are many Wireless In-Ear Headphones available today & pricing has become very competitive. Preferred models include free apps with sound tweaking, selectable ambient sound blending, Noise Cancellation, Equalization & Bluetooth priority for sound vs. connectivity. Those features are missing on Surge.
The Bluetooth disconnection / reconnection interrupting the music is the primary reason for not recommending Surge Charge. Two individual cable connections with covers just to recharge R + L send this model back to the drawing board.
Rowkin - Surge Charge Wireless In-Ear Headphones are not recommended.

Ultimate Sports Noise Cancellation Ear Buds
on June 2, 2018
Posted by: gadgetguy11
from Lexington, KY
PREFACE:
SONY continues to advance ear bud technology, combining incredible sound, great looks, user setting flexibility & splash-proof design.
OBSERVATIONS:
1- Beautiful multi-color, shapely design.
2- Exclusive SONY EXTRA BASS sounds AMAZING in these earbuds! Ultra low, deep bass frequencies are available in spades.
3- SONY Headphone App (free) offers equalization / ambient sound settings / extra bass.
4- IP-4 Sweat & Splash Resistant - perfect for working out.
5- Feather weight design provide all-day comfort.
6- Ear stabilizers keep these earbuds from moving around in your ears, so the sound quality remains the same as you are active.
7- Choose to isolate outside sounds with Noise Reduction, or elect to blend in Ambient Sound so you hear what is going on around you. These are adjustable by simple SONY Headphone App settings.
8- One-touch telephone calls sound clear to both parties.
9- 3-Hour battery life + 2) 3-Hour charges from the battery in the case = 9-Hour total battery power.
10- Charging case features a cool shape with 2-color design to match the ear buds. Gold contacts assure solid electric connections between the earbuds & the charging case.
FUTURE UPDATE:
SONY promises an update very soon which will provide one-touch Google Assistant. This will enable voice commands for home automation, music control, etc.
CONCLUSION:
SONY set the GOLD STANDARD for Sports Earbuds with the WF-SP700N. These are the most comfortable, best sounding, best looking & most practical ear buds I have ever tested. They earn my HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION!!

Killer Sound + Featherweight Design
on May 28, 2018
Posted by: gadgetguy11
from Lexington, KY
Sony SP600N Sports Wireless Noise Canceling In-Ear Headphones deliver incredible bass and are the most comfortable earbuds I own. Here are highlights:
1- Comfortable because of the ear stabilizer (they do not fall out of your ears) and excellent weight balance (they are not heavy where the wire connects, so they do not try to pull out of your ears).
2- Light weight makes all day listening a pleasure.
3- Modern Bluetooth 4.1 provides 30-40 feet of easy connectivity & draws very little power.
4- Long battery life (up to 6 hours with noise reduction activated).
5- Sony Extra Bass features amazing on these earbuds! Simply install the free Sony Headphone App.
6- Highly configurable features let you choose the level of noise reduction (isolation); or do you prefer to blend in ambient sound? Equalization? Extra Bass? Just turn on this free app and the variations to the sound / noise reduction effects you control are stunning.
7- Microphone does double duty. The microphone built into the "pod" on the left side serves as the mic for telephone calls & picks up the sound that you can cancel via the app.
8- Attractive design.
9- Splash & sweat resistant (IPX4).
10- Three different sized ear pieces are included to ensure the perfect fit. Take time to try them all. The seal with your ear canal is critical to the sound quality (especially the bass) & the noise reduction.
CONCLUSION:
You will be hard pressed to find a pair of in-ear headphones (earbuds) that outperform the Sony SP600N in this attractive price range. Especially considering their superlative sound quality & comfort. They earn my Highest Recommendation!

Bass Forward, Gym Friendly Design
on April 24, 2018
Posted by: gadgetguy11
from Lexington, KY
The Under Armour Sport Wireless Flex Bluetooth Earphones are designed to stay put during the most active workout.
POSITIVE IMPRESSIONS:
1- Featuring a "Bass Forward" design that I prefer during a workout, they provide a gentle bass "thump" without wrecking the balance between high, mid & low frequencies. Bass is featured, but does not dominate the audio; this is a good thing.
2- The grey color / black wires blend & are unobtrusive. This color will not stand out in a crowd, but will not offend, either.
2- Ultra light weight design.
3- Flex feature theoretically provides an adjustable fit. In practice, I did not find the adjustability sufficient to change the already comfortable fit; perhaps you may.
4- 12 Hour rated battery life actually proved to be accurate. This is excellent!
5- Bright LED strip adds visibility at night.
6- Water resistant design with IPX5 rating (not submersible but water resistant).
7- Good wireless phone call capability; the microphone works well.
8- Micro USB charging cable is included; this is a standard connection, a smart move; you probably already have such a cable in your arsenal, so if you lose it, it is very economical & easy to find & replace.
9- I like the "enhancers" (silicone fins), but enhancers without fins are included, as well.
CONCERNS:
1- The ear pieces arrive compressed so tightly in their custom foam packaging, a forceful tug on the ultra thin wire is necessary to eject them from the suffocating factory sheathe. This cannot be good for the slim wires for each earpiece. The overzealous packaging could easily cause a broken wire failure before you wear them the first time.
2- Buttons are the smallest of any headphones or earphones I have seen to date. I have size XXL hands, so I have to press the tiny controls with my fingernails. To make matters worse, they require a forceful push on their hard surfaces.
3- Spend time to try each size ear tip (Small / Medium / Large) while carefully listening to your favorite song that you know the best!! Focus on the bass. Press the earphones in toward your head. If the bass increases, try a size smaller ear tip. I tried a larger size ear tip & 10 minutes later, my ears hurt & the bass was even less. Fit is more critical to sound than any earphones I have ever worn. They are labor intensive to set up. They ship with Medium ear tips (which makes sense). I spent 30 minutes trying all ear tips listening to the same song, but when you get the right ear tips for your ears, they sound consistent; bass does not change as you press them in toward your head. No movement affects the sound. I was very disappointed with bass response when I put them in my ears for the first time. Spend (a lot of) time & you will be rewarded by balanced audio. -1 Point.
4- No Carrying Case - this is disappointing because for $129, I expect these earphones to last awhile. I am willing to go the extra effort to protect them & not throw them in a backpack or gym bag, where the emaciated wires would not stand a chance of not breaking. So how am I supposed to carry them to & from workouts? Who sells a carry pouch designed to safely protect these? After spending $129, why should I have to search for a unique carry case?
5- The wires are non retractible, unlike some Bluetooth earphones that I own. They form an unattractive large loop, connecting to the main unit that is around your neck.
6- Limited Bluetooth range. Sound dropped out 25 feet away at most & much closer if any walls or barriers are between the earphones & the phone or tablet source. What bothers me the most is when sound cuts out for a second with no barriers & the iPhone 6S Plus is sitting on my desk, 2 feet away. This happens on average, once during every other song. I consider this the biggest concern I have with these headphones. -1 Point.
CONCLUSION:
These Bluetooth Earphones require more set-up time and effort than any other I have owned. They offer very good sound if you are willing to put in the time. The Bluetooth signal dropping out as mentioned in Concern #6 is my biggest concern; they earn a 3-Star Rating.

Instant DJ
on April 12, 2018
Posted by: gadgetguy11
from Lexington, KY
The Turtle Beach Stream Mic is a fun & exciting way to enhance your voice over any streaming platform. I connected it to the latest Mac Pro & tested it on X-Box.
To begin, download the Turtle Beach Audio Hub free app (see photo). This enables "Announcer Voice" (configurable reverb), eq, mic monitor, auto noise gate eliminator and many more parameters.
It is hard to believe the amazing effects achieved through this app. You can sound very deep, mid range, extra deep & crisp, for starters. The level of reverb is awesome! This is my favorite effect. Noise gate completely eliminates the floor noise. Unbelievable! No more hiss.
Microphone construction is superb. Metal grille, heavy weighted base, metal yoke supporting the mic, infinitely adjustable angle & tension holding the mic position. It looks expensive & is built to survive real world gamer, blogger & DJ use.
Sound quality is very good. Sound effects and the ability to differentiate your voice & to elevate you above the crowd of streamers is it's strong suit.
Become an Instant DJ with this microphone & app! The Turtle Beach Stream Mic has become my favorite go-to microphone for blogs & earns my highest recommendation!

Sony SRS-XB41 The. Reference. Standard.
on March 25, 2018
Posted by: gadgetguy11
from Lexington, KY
INTRODUCTION:
Sony SRS-XB41 reigns supreme as the Best of the Best portable wireless Bluetooth speaker. This amazing performer is in a class by itself, literally inventing a new category of an interactive party speaker, while surpassing all competitors with Extra Bass & performance enhancements.
LIKES:
1- “Extra Bass”, a Sony exclusive feature, is selectable by the free Sony Music Center App. It is activated by default, and the sound enhancement is stunning!
2- “Live Sound Mode” is also selectable by free Sony Music Center App. It produces an ultra wide spread sound that puts you in the middle of the band. The musical instruments sound like they are across the room with you in the center! Extra Bass is integrated into this mode, so you not only get a room full of sound, you get strong bass, too. I recommend the “Live Sound Mode”, which includes “Extra Bass".
3- A Graphic Equalizer is built in the aforementioned free Sony Music Center App. Tweak the bass punch & high frequency clarity precisely to your satisfaction. This works in addition to “Extra Bass” & “Live Sound Mode”.
4- “Wireless Party Chain” is another amazing feature: 100 Sony speakers with Party Chain can be wirelessly connected together. You can mix & match any of the Sony models with Part Chain: SRS-XB41, SRS- XB31 & SRS- XB21.
5- “Party Booster" interactive feature turns this speaker into a portable drum kit, percussion kit or customized sound. Tap on 5 sides of this speaker & it rocks out with drums, percussion, cowbell, etc. The sounds are amazing; imagine a party full of revelers, each beating their own drum kit on one of these speakers & joining together with interactive fun!
6- Dynamic LED & strobe party lights flash to the beat (if you select them to) - they even flash to the beat of Party Booster! These interactive lights wrap around both sides of the speaker for maximum dramatic impact.
7- Features Sony LDAC (also called High-resolution audio). LDAC is a Sony audio coding technology that enables clear, High-Resolution Audio, even over Bluetooth. It supports SBC / AAC / LDAC codecs, so you enjoy premium sound from a variety of devices from virtually any source.
8- Bluetooth Version 4.2 Wireless Range is a whopping 98 feet.
9- Dual charging option provides a choice: Charges using any standard 5 Volt / USB adaptor with included USB to Micro USB cable. No special adaptor to carry. For faster charging, a high power 5 Volt / 3.0 Amp power adaptor is also included to juice up the SRS-XB41 quickly.
10- The mammoth internal Rechargeable Battery provides up to 24-Hour Battery Life - Party all Day & Night!
11- Standard USB 5.0 Volt Output Jack is built in to power or charge devices, such as your phone, from this powerhouse speaker.
12- Full onboard controls on top of the speaker control everything without fiddling with the sound source. No interruptions to the party!
13- External 3.5mm input jack for connecting to any so equipped source (i.e. Echo Dot & just about any imaginable music source).
14- Microphone built-in; this speaker serves as a speakerphone.
15- Fully Waterproof with IP67 rating to 3.3 feet.
16- NFC technology for one-touch pairing with equipped devices.
17- Sony packed a lot of sound in these dimensions: 11 1/2” W X 4 1/8”H X 4 1/4”D.
18- Lightweight: 3 pounds 5 ounces.
19- I selected the Red speaker; it is available in Red, Blue & Black. The color is actually Maroon; it is not a bright red; it is an elegant color (see photos).
20- Very attractive curved shape; the lights disappear as stylish bands when turned off.
DISLIKES:
NONE!
CONCLUSION:
Sony SRS-XB41 earns my highest recommendation & reigns supreme as The. Reference. Standard.

Ultra Light = Ear Delight
on March 21, 2018
Posted by: gadgetguy11
from Lexington, KY
INTRODUCTION:
The Sony WH-CH700N/L are amazingly light weight & comfortable noise canceling headphones. I chose the blue model because I prefer bold colors & they look fantastic (see attached photos). I trusted Sony would deliver very good sound for the money.
As a point of reference, I own a variety of premium wireless headphones & primarily listen to Master & Dynamic - MH40 Over-the-Ear Headphones, which weigh 0.7937 pounds, but feel much heavier. They cost 2X the cost of these Sony headphones. These Sony WH-CH700N/L weigh only 0.53 pounds but feel much lighter.
COMFORT:
Comfort reigns supreme, due to the pillowy soft ear cushions, the gentle, deeply padded head support & the light weight build.
BASS:
Sony has mastered the art of boosting bass with minimum distortion & these headphones are a perfect example: "Clear Bass +10" produces dynamic deep bass at a 10dB gain without distortion, even at a high volume SPL's. Great bass punch with no audible distortion!
THE APPS:
The Sony Connect App is very useful for selecting "Clear Bass +10" bass boost, choosing DSP for one of several venues & offers a graphic equalizer for customizing your sound. I prefer "Clear Bass +10" "ON" + tweak the high frequencies with EQ & leave the DSP venues "OFF". The Sony Connect App works in conjunction with the Sony Music Center App. Both Apps add critical features to optimize & custom tailor the sound, and each App has a 1-click transfer to lead you directly to the other App. Without the Sony Connect App & the Sony Music Center App the headphones earned 4 Stars; after a little listening & tweaking both Apps to optimize the audio, these headphones earned a resounding 5 Stars!
NOISE CANCELATION:
Noise Cancelation is the only feature that works well, but I would prefer user adjustable levels, rather than the headphones analyzing the noise source & canceling it at levels it determines are appropriate. This is strictly personal preference - I am not taking away a star because the system cancels noise & is very effective; I simply prefer to be in control.
BATTERY LIFE:
Impressive! Up to 35 hours of playback & 200 Hrs of standby time.
Every 10-minutes of charging yields 1 hour of music playback.
FOLD AWAY DESIGN:
The headphones swivel for easy & fast storage. Great when you are deboarding a plane & you are in a rush to reach your connecting flight.
DSEE:
The Sony exclusive Digital Sound Enhancement Engine (DSEE) restores the high frequencies to the rich detail before compression. Toggle via the aforementioned App. The improvement is stunning!
BLUETOOTH OR HARD WIRE:
The Bluetooth connection with Sony DSEE sounds awesome; you also have the option of directly connecting to a music source via the included 3.5mm cable.
MICRO USB:
These headphones include a USB to Micro USB cable for charging. Micro USB is great because it is used by most every manufacturer. It means if you forget the cable on a trip, you can pick up a cable anywhere.
CONTROLS:
The controls on the WH-CH700N/L are super intuitive, so you do not need to remove them from your head to skip a song or pick up a phone call.
VOICE COMMANDS:
One touch & you are speaking to your phone's assistant & can make calls clearly & easily.
RECOMMENDATION FOR IMPROVEMENTS:
1- These are such great travel headphones, a travel case should be included. They swivel to a small package; they need a small but tough zipper case. I am in the market to buy one now, but it should have been included.
2- Add Noise Reduction Option Settings to the Sony Connect App for greater flexibility.
CONCLUSION:
ULTRA LIGHT = EAR DELIGHT!!
I listen to the Sony WH-CH700N/L for more hours than any other headphones I own & forget I am wearing them. They earn 5 Stars & my Highest Recommendation!!

Make healthy smoothies and drinks with this SharkNinja Ninja Foodi blender. A 1400W motor base ensures exceptional ice-crushing results, while the 800W heating element cuts down boiling time for faster preparation of soups and sauces. This SharkNinja Ninja Foodi blender features preset Auto-iQ smart programs that take the guesswork out of operation and dishwasher-safe parts for effortless cleaning.
 

What's the H.P. of the motor?

The motor draws 1,000 Watts. Convert this to HP as follows: 1 Metric HP is about 740 Watts, so divide 1,000 by 740.

This motor produces approximately 1.3514 Hp! This is one serious machine that does not slow down when full of ice cubes.

Shark AI Robot VACMOP combines powerful vacuum suction and hard floor wet mopping for a complete clean, all in one robot. Features include: Shark suction power, Sonic Mopping that delivers 100 scrubs per minute for stuck-on stains, and AI Laser Navigation for precision cleaning.
 

What is the maximum recommended square footage this bot will clean?

There is no recommended maximum, as when the Robot runs low on battery power, it returns to the base, recharges, then returns to continue its task. It is a very effective machine.
