Beautiful Product & Outstanding Value
on August 16, 2020
Posted by: gadgetguy11
from Lexington, KY
The LG TONE Free HBS-FN6, available in choice of black or white, are beautifully sculpted in a rich, high gloss finish. You will not find better looking true wireless earbuds at any price.
Featuring the latest Bluetooth 5.0, they can operate at an incredible long distance from your music source, as well as feature a very generous battery life. Plus, they simply do not drop the signal. You have solid music for 6 hrs & 2) recharges by using the included charging carry case.
The carrying case can be charged by the included USB-C cable, or simply charged wirelessly. This case is made from hypoallergenic silicon, which is a welcome feature during this Pandemic. I charged them initially using the USB-C cable, then topped them off wirelessly on my Belkin charger that is designed to charge the iPhone, Apple Watch & Wireless Ear Buds simultaneously.
The built-in equalizer by Meridian has several useful presets. I created a custom curve (see photo) in order to boost the subdued bass & to accentuate high frequencies. The bass is weak if you do not boost it with the equalizer. Ambient sound can be added in any desired quantity using a slider on the app & can be switched off / on directly by touching the earbud. I love how the app allows user adjustment to both the right & left earbuds independently. Touching either Right or Left earbud 1, 2 or 3 times can be user set to a wide variety of options with each touch.
Telephone calls are easy to connect & are clear & easy to understand for both parties.
CONCLUSION: The LG TONE Free HBS-FN6 packs everything you would want in state-of-the-art wireless earbuds. Use the equalizer to boost the bass to achieve performance that matches the stellar looks.
Highly Recommended.

Versatile, Comfortable Mouse w/ Mac OS Gestures
on July 12, 2020
Posted by: gadgetguy11
from Lexington, KY
The Logitech - MX Master 3 Wireless Laser Mouse for Mac is a comfortable, versatile mouse, with even more MacOS specific gestures available online at the Logitech Options Website.
Featuring a 4000 DPI laser sensor, it will outperform virtually every mouse designed for desktop applications. Easy Switch, located on the bottom of the mouse, enables instant switching between 3) computers or iPads.
The Gesture button is a great feature. Press your thumb down to open Mission Control & display Launchpad on MacOS.
My default mouse is the Logitech G903 Lightspeed Gaming Mouse with PowerPlay. It features an insane 12,000 DPI output & charges continuously when placed or used on the PowerPlay mouse pad. While the versatility & comfort of the MX Master 3 is superior to the G903, the difference in precision moves is noticeable. The G903 dominates, as it was designed to do.
The MX master features a built-in rechargeable battery. Charge it by simply connecting a USB-C cable (USB-C to USB-C cable is included; however a USB-C to USB cable that I needed to connect to my Mac Pro is not included). The battery life is phenomenal & it sends an alert well in advance when recharging is needed.
CONCLUSION: The Logitech - MX Master 3 Wireless Laser Mouse for Mac will satisfy all but the most demanding (primarily gaming) applications. It's extreme versatility makes it a mouse that will remain on my desktop, along with the Logitech G903. Recommended.

Belkin Multi-Function Wireless Charger for iPhone
on July 1, 2020
Posted by: gadgetguy11
from Lexington, KY
The Belkin - Boost Up Wireless Charging Dock is a powerful 3-in-one charging station. It charges 3 Apple devices simultaneously:
- Qi-Enabled iPhone
- Apple Watch
- AirPods
- Apple Watch
- AirPods
The Qi enabled iPhone is held vertically, so you can easily use it while charging. Most charging stations hold the iPhone horizontally, making it virtually impossible to read the phone, much less use it, while charging flat on it's back.
It will charge the iPhone in virtually any holder up to 3mm thick. The LED charging indicator illuminates when the iPhone is positively on charge. This assures the phone is placed properly on the stand & confirms that the iPhone is actually charging. Most of the other charging bases require sliding the iPhone incrementally until the phone beeps, indicating it is charging. This charging base is shaped ergonomically & activates the charge every time the phone is placed.
The design is minimalist; it looks good in just about any environment. The base is fitted with non-slip feet; this keeps the phone stable so you can actually use it safely without sliding or falling off the charger. See attached photos that show all 3) devices being charged simultaneously.
iPhones are fast charged at 7.5 watts; Apple Watch & AirPods are charged at 5 watts.
CONCLUSION:
This Belkin Boost Charge 3-in-1 wireless charger is the BEST of 4 wireless chargers at my house. It charges faster, holds the iPhone at a perfect angle to use securely while charging & is attractively designed in a white, curved body. I highly recommend it!

WOW!! Design Collection Mouse *POPS* With Color!!
on June 26, 2020
Posted by: gadgetguy11
from Lexington, KY
The Logitech - Design Collection Wireless Optical Mouse with Nano Receiver - Teal Maze is a gorgeous accessory for your desk that brings cheer & joy to a traditional boring, solid color mouse.
This mouse has a soft, comfortable feel, as well as precision 1000dpi control. It works beautifully on MacOS & PC (and works on other OS that I did not test). Simply plug in the included tiny (Nano) Receiver & you are set!
The range of this mouse is incredible! I found the claimed over 30 foot range to be accurate.The curser movement is smooth as silk.
Logitech claims 12 months on one (included) AA battery! That is amazing!
Tha lightweight design with rubber grips feels great in your hand. This is a small mouse & is a breath of fresh air if you are trying to avoid the mega sized mice that have become so prevalent.
CONCLUSION:
The Logitech Design Collection Wireless Optical Mouse is a winner & hits all of the "Must Have" options for an ideal mouse. It easily earns 5 Stars & my Highest Recommendation!

Clear Voices, Must-Directional Sound
on May 13, 2020
Posted by: gadgetguy11
from Lexington, KY
Sony’s HT-G700 3.1ch Dolby Atmos Soundbar sets a new standard for performance in the $599 Soundbar price range. Featuring the latest advances in surround sound, including Dolby Atmos & DTS:X & paired with capable 400 Watts of power, it enhances the sound from virtually any TV with style & class. It even upscales basic flat TV sound to the latest 7.1.2 channel audio with a one touch AE (Audio Enhancer) button on the remote! This is a very effective tool for spreading the sound all around the room without the clutter of separate speakers & messy wires all around.
This Soundbar has a dedicated center channel that produces crisp, clear vocals. This feature alone transforms the muddled vocals from the rear mounted TV speakers that bounce the entire sound frequency against the surface directly behind the TV (usually drywall). Think your hearing is deteriorating or that your TV disappoints because you cannot understand the voices anymore? Listen to this sounder with it's dedicated center channel & you will be pleasantly surprised!
Connection is as easy as you can imagine. Simply plug in the Soundbar & the Wireless Subwoofer & connect the included HDMI cable to the TV & the Soundbar.
Night Mode is a one-button selection from the included Remote that balances the sound to a quieter level for evening viewing, without disturbing others.
CONCLUSION:
Sony’s HT-G700 3.1ch Dolby Atmos Soundbar stakes out Head of the Class in the $599 Soundbar price point. Recommended.

Precision Build, Sweet Sound
on February 28, 2020
Posted by: gadgetguy11
from Lexington, KY
The Beoplay H9 make a definite premium quality statement at first glance. Using the finest quality materials, impeccably assembled, the H9 are the Louis Vuitton of premium headphones.
Sound quality is very good, but lack the precise definition that the visual cues imply. Bass is very strong - so strong, it muddies the tonal balance.
The H9 are beautiful to behold, but lack the ultimate sonic reproduction of lower priced headphones. I rate them a 4 for perfect build quality and looks, and for sound that is a tad less than optimal.

Introducing the BISSELL® air220 Air Purifier. This machine packs powerful indoor air purifying power into a simplistic and sleek machine, bringing form and function together in your home. The unique design is apparent in the air220's clean lines and smooth edges. Underneath the sleek design you'll find three layers of filtration, including an activated carbon filter and a HEPA + pre-filter that captures hair, dust, pollen, dander, home and pet odors, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). This air purifier is a powerful machine you'd expect from BISSELL, a trusted homecare brand. The air220 has a soft-touch dial that lets you control both fan speed and power. It has a discrete cord wrap on the back panel and filters that can be accessed from the front panel, so you can keep it against a wall in your home. The air220 is tested to the AHAM standard to have a Smoke CADR of 172 for rooms up to 266 sq. ft., making it great for bedrooms, living areas, basements, and dining rooms..

Stylish & Sophisticated Air Purifier
on December 18, 2019
Posted by: gadgetguy11
from Lexington, KY
The Bissell air220 is a stylish Air Purifier with sophisticated automatic control. The color is a modern 2-tone gray. It blends perfectly with the most popular home interior colors and is designed in an attractive rectangular shape with curved lines.
A single button control is blended in the top of this machine. A gentle push activates the Air Purifier. There are 5) fan speeds, which increase or decrease automatically upon air condition, as needed. The electronic display located just below the single button displays "A" for Automatic, or the fan speed during manual operation. It even displays when the filters should be changed. The color coded display provides an immediate air condition indicator. Night Mode even dims the LED at night.
Two easy to change replaceable filters snap in / out from the front without tools. They are estimated to need to be changed every 6 months.
Unlike many air purifiers, this unit can be placed directly against a wall, since the exit air is at the top, not in the back. This greatly enhances the flexibility of placement within the room. A bracket is built into the back, to allow the power cord to easily coil up any excess power cord, to keep the room looking neat.
I have another electronic Air Purifier, which sits directly on the floor. The air220 sits above the floor on legs. This is a much better design, as it keeps the filters and the air flow unrestricted, and makes vacuuming around the Air Filter a breeze.
This Air Purifier is Energy Star certified, an assurance that it operates at the highest efficiency with the lowest energy cost.
It operates very quietly & measures 34-51dB(A) according to Bissell.
It is light enough to move around easily, weighing only 18.25 lb., yet is sturdy & is fabricated from strong, light weight material. It measures 8.3 X 14.8 X 25 Inches.
CONCLUSION: The Bissell air220 offers stylish looks with amazing sophistication for unattended automatic clean air. It earns 5 Stars & is highly recommended.

Create An Exciting New Entertainment Dimension
on December 6, 2019
Posted by: gadgetguy11
from Lexington, KY
Philips - Hue Play HDMI Sync Box is a unique, one-of-a-kind product that pushes the boundaries of in-home entertainment. I was a bit apprehensive, reading some negative reviews prior to ordering the Sync Box. I am very glad I did not hesitate to pull the trigger. It is far more enjoyable & easy to set up than I ever anticipated!
Set-up is simple: plug in up to 4 devices, such as a Fire Stick, Apple TV, other streaming devices, a Video Game, a DVR, a Receiver, etc. No switching is required; it automatically switches whichever device you turn on. The Sync Box is seamless & responds. It passes 4K through to your TV or monitor. You turn on the TV & your streaming or game devices exactly the same way after adding the Sync Box. It adds NO complication!
You choose what type of Hue lights to connect to your TV. I chose 2 Hue Light Bars, one behind the TV, pointing right & the other behind the TV, pointing left. I added a Hue Light Strip behind the TV, across the top. You can add or remove any Hue bulbs you may already own to the Sync Box at any time.
The colors are configurable; I found they were ideal right out of the box, with no color tweaking needed. Brightness is fully adjustable & intensity is selectable in 4 levels. You can even set a minimum light level separately for various input devices. This is very useful for gaming, vs. watching a movie.
You position each light by simply dragging it across your cellphone screen on the set-up app. The more lights you add, the more fine the detail & the benefit you achieve for positioning the lights to match the TV screen. The colors are absolutely amazing! It literally spreads the TV screen's effective size by opening your senses to a view that is no longer constrained by the confines of a rectangular TV screen.
CONCLUSION:
The Hue Play HDMI Sync Box is a WOW! product that greatly enhances your viewing experience, whether Movies, Gaming, or even the News! This 5-Star jewel is ready for Prime Time; I highly recommend it.

In a Class By Itself
on November 11, 2019
Posted by: gadgetguy11
from Lexington, KY
Adobe Photoshop Elements consistently raises the bar for photo editing software. The new release every year brings exciting new innovative capabilities. 2020 is certainly no exception.
By contrast, the mega-powerful Adobe Photoshop is the standard bearer for the professional editing software user, but is challenging for the rest of us who do not use the software daily & who want to quickly edit photos without learning a complex system. The great thing is: Photoshop Elements contains most of the Photoshop features, yet is easy to use.
The 2020 version adds automatic skin smoothing, object removal, pattern brush, automatic photo colorization, one-click subject selection & other features.
I often open the subject photo in each of the 3 modes: Quick Edit, Guided Edit, and Expert Edit. Quick Edit lets you see how a basic edit will look; Guided Edit introduces enhanced capabilities in a step-by-step approach & Expert Edit, offers a manual workflow, similar to Photoshop. I love that you can toggle back-and-forth between all three tabs! It is a smooth transition & offers 3) separate approaches to achieve the best edit.
This software is presented by digital download & was effortless to install on my Mac Pro; it would be a similar easy install on a Windows computer. The faster your internet speed, the less time to download. The only concern: if you have a slow internet speed, prepare for an extended download.
CONCLUSION:
Photoshop Elements 2020 offers an abundance of new capabilities - I found the case for upgrading to be overwhelming. This cutting edge software earns my Highest recommendation!

Get early signals of fire and carbon monoxide poisoning with this three-pack of Google Nest Protect 2nd Generation smoke alarm. The Split-Spectrum Sensor detects fast and slow burning fires and lasts up to 10 years for reliable use. This Google Nest Protect 2nd Generation smoke alarm tells you where the danger is in a human voice and sends alerts to your phone via the Nest app to keep you apprised and aware.
If this device has no battery backup, why are batteries included in the shipping? I don't want to be awakened disputing the night because the battery needs changing. I have a 24 foot ceiling and can't climb up every three to six months to change them.
Both the electric plug-in and the battery model have Lithium Battery back-up. These batteries typically last 5 years. This is completely unlike the Smoke Alarms from years past, which often lasted only 3 to 6 months, as you pointed out.

What happens if internet connection is lost or wifi signal lost? Will you know if house is on fire if you are away? I specification 3G connectivity is mentioned, do I have to pay subscription?
There is no subscription - it uses your Wi-Fi. If you lose internet connection or lose Wi-Fi, you maintain full protection in your home, but will not know if your house is on fire if you are away.
