I have a PS4, a Switch, a WiiU, and a Wii. I have tried it on each, and I can tell you if you have something like a PS4, Xbox One, or newer, don't bother. I couldn't tell any discernible difference on my PS4. It does smooth things out somewhat on the WiiU and the Switch. It's not a miracle worker, it won't make your Switch look like a next-gen console or anything, but it does smooth out some of the rough edges and make text look crisper and such. Now the problem may be with my HDMI switch, I'm not sure, but when using this with a Nintendo console I've noticed that my video signal keeps cutting out unless I connect the mClassic to the console itself. The PS4 works just fine when I connect the mClassic to the HDMI switch however.But where this thing really shines is when I connect it to my Wii in conjunction with a HDMI converter. The Wii doesn't look all that great on a 50" 4K TV, especially if you are playing old GameCube games on it. The mClassic makes these older games look MUCH better. Again, it's not going to make them look like they were made for HD, but it definitely smooths out the rough edges and makes the games feel more like they did in their prime playing them on an old tube TV like they were originally designed. And for old games designed in the 4:3 aspect ratio, the retro mode is awesome. Flipping the switch is much easier than navigating TV settings to change the aspect ratio to 4:3 then back to 16:9 when you are done. I've pretty much just settled on leaving this connected to my Wii and switching between regular and retro mode depending on whether I am playing a GameCube game or not.In summary, is it worth it? If you only have a newer console, then no. But if you want to breathe some new life into your old retro games and play them on a modern TV and have HDMI converters, then yes!

I bought this V860III to replace my trusty V860II which has been my key light for weddings for several years. It's mostly the same as the V860II but has a few key improvements that are particularly useful to me:1. The weakest part of the V860II was the battery door. I always felt like I would accidentally snap it off, especially when left open. Great news: the V860III has no battery door. Instead, the battery is a full-length design that sits flush with the edges of the flash unit when installed. When removed, there is a hole in the flash. It sounds weird, but it works great and there is no more battery door.2. It uses a different battery with more capacity. This is not a huge deal to me (the V860II easily lasted me 2-3 weddings before losing 1 bar on the battery indicator), but may be for some folks.3. The head has slightly wider tilt/rotate freedom. Not a lot, but enough to make a real difference to me because I usually bounce it.4. The V860III hotshoe locking mechanism is a half-turn clip rather than the knob thingy on the V860II. It's quicker to secure and release than the V860II.5. There are a bunch of other improvements you can read about, e.g. modeling light, that are covered extensively elsewhere, but I won't go into those because they are not that useful for me personally.If I were to name one complaint about this, it's that the new charger (which is much smaller/more convenient than the old one btw) is USB-C, which should be a plus, but it actually seems to only work with USB-C power sources that do NOT support PD. I tried several USB-C PD sources (several charging bricks and also my computer) and the battery charger would not activate, but when using USB-C non PD, it does charge. For me it doesn't really matter because I never charge on the go and one charge will probably last me 1-2 months worth of weddings, but I did find this an interesting oddity.

 My overactive cat loves lights, whether it’s a laser pointer or glints of light from a passing car. I got this to hopefully give her something to get her energy out cause I play with her, but her energy is endless.Cat’s review: she’s obsessed, the “stars” don’t look that star like to me because they’re green, but she loves them. She jumps at them and is much happier when they’re on. The lights shimmer similarly to the northern lights (or at least how it appears in videos cause I’ve never seen it in person), and the movement of the lights keeps her engaged. However, it doesn’t wind her up so much that she’s crazy. She will play and jump at the walls, but eventually she wears herself out and will go to sleep like normal, though I catch her just laying there with her eyes open watching it sometimesMy review: I am equally obsessed but in a different way. Again, not a huge fan of the stars, but I love the lights. There is a red, blue, green, and white setting for the lights. You can mix them and I’m in love with that part. I can just set it as one color or whatever mix I want so it feels like the options are endless. The shimmering of the lights almost makes me feel like I’m underwater, especially with just the blue or the blue/white combo. I love that you can adjust the brightness so I can have a bit dimmer when I want a nap with it or I can turn it up when using it for lighting. Also the Bluetooth speaker is pretty solid. I didn’t buy it for that function, but I love that I have it. It has a solid sound quality, and it isn’t loud enough to throw a house party with, but it definitely gets loud enough to jam out with. I’m so happy with this and it was worth the money

TLDR;- Great product that does what it says it will.- Well built, feels heavy and premium.- Causes some glare on glossy objects on my desk.- Buy it now before the price increases if you're shopping for one of these lamps.This light bar does the job; one of those things you didn't know you needed until you got it. It cost $40 instead of $200. The build quality is excellent. The lamp is aluminum with touch controls and a light sensor. The mount is a sturdy plastic. The unit feels solid and well-built, heavy even.The controls and light sensor mean I don't need a hockey puck or awkward cable controls on my desk. I'm grateful for that because I dislike the clutter of those options. My webcam mounts on top of the lamp in the center. So, there was no problem there.The only downsides I have encountered are slight flickering and a few glares. The lamp will sometimes flicker while I'm at my desk. It's slight but annoying. The flicker is subtle. I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me at first. Not a deal breaker at all, of course.As for the glare, well, there's not much of a glare on the screen (Asus ProArt 32). It's very slight but noticeable. Again, not a deal breaker. If anything, it showed me I needed to dust my screen off. The glare on my iPad screen while I draw or on books with glossy pages is real and causes me to reposition them.There are no shadows from my head or hand as there would be with my overhead light or a desk lamp. But the light source is so close and bright, even on lower settings, to glare on glossy things. This is alright, of course. It doesn't get in the way of reading, and the iPad screen gets brighter, but it's something to know. You'll be fine if you use regular paper, a moleskin, or something. If you don't use paper or books in your day-to-day work, this lamp will cause no problems.In conclusion, I'd rebuy it. It's a solid lamp and does what it says. It's worth the $40. Get it now before the price goes up.

I actually watched b/c my curiosity was piqued by all the polarity in the reviews. To address some popular points in them - I don't actually think this was that violent. Not like Tarantino level or Kingsmen or something. More like a typical action film with lots of car smashing and slow mo roundhouse kicks, only a couple scenes get very bloody and most are quite silly and funny. Someone compared it to Jason Statham films, which I think is apt. It's a lot of fun and pretty silly. No, the plot doesn't always make perfect sense, but it doesn't pretend to. I love that after the Underworld movies Kate Beckinsale basically became one of our only female action stars. She's delightful in this, and less in the bruce willis get all bloody tradition and more in the magically still look perfect while fighting 4 people at once tradition. It's also really fun to hear her star in a film with her British accent for once. Every frame is pretty, stylized, and fun, as are all the performances, especially Laverne Cox, and as someone mentioned there's no downtime, so you don't have the impulse to start playing with your phone. Susan Sarandon's performance isn't a weird cameo as another reviewer said! Her voiceover very clearly starts and frames the entire film. Finally, this isn't a feminist film unless you consider it overtly feminist to have a female action star full stop. Besides a few really delightful revenge fantasies (spreading legs guy on the subway, a street harasser), which honestly I'd have enjoyed more of, it's a pretty typical studio flick with a pretty typical romance B plot. Last word: BEST SCENE involves our action heroine in a room full of newborns and you're like *groan* are they going to have her weakness be babies? yuck. but nope, they turn that on its head and it's amazing and hilarious. worth a watch just for that to be honest.

So, its been almost a year now since I got these and can share a bit of feedback.1. Absolutely no signs of wear despite they have few days worth of gaming already logged2. Sound is crisp and good, no deterioration over time. 7.1 helps in FPS games like COD3. Party and general volume control from the headset itself - massive pros4. Good battery life. I can probably get away with 3-4 evening of play (3-4hrs each) without charging then5. Fast charge via usb-cNow not so pretty things:1. Got ps5 , ps5 controller and allegedly PS5 premium headset (being the one you reading review for). This headset needs usb dongle plugged to you console to have BT connection . This is just nuts that ps5 dedicated headset need BT adapter in order to link with your brand new ps5 console2. Mute button on controller - want to mute yourself during party ? You are absolutely ok to do it, but from the headset (left ear pad). Why? Because controller does not support it via BT. If you want to have mute button enabled on your controller than you more than welcome to use 3.5mm jack cable to link your controller with headset. This is also unreal. I thought this would have been patched with first major PlayStation5 update. You guessed it - it didn’t happen.It is still an awesome piece of kit for the money if you had more expensive gaming headsets before however I am unable to rate it 5 stars due to 2 significant issues I have mentioned above. If it could do everything wirelessly same as via jack cable it would have been strong recommendation. If you are bothered about dongle and muting yourself from the headset itself then it’s not really for you. If you don’t or don’t mind using jack connection then you will be more than happy with it. I rate it for it’s durability and overall sound experience.

These are the perfect microphones for traveling and interviews on the go. For my job, I interview a lot of people and they are often outdoors on a noisy set in LA. I needed microphones that were going to cut the outside noise and pick up on only the focal sound and these are the ones to do the job. Of course, with clip-on mics, there is always a level of background noise that you’re going to pick up on, but the overall sound is crisp and contrasting. I used these recently for a personal vlog as well while I was climbing and hiking with a friend. We were breathing hard, but I was surprised to hear that the mic had essentially quieted the heavy breathing and went into focus only when we were talking—fantastic! Not only that, but these mics also have a super useful display for on-the-go recording. The LED display in the front tells you everything you need to know when you’re recording as well as when the battery is going to die. This is great for travel because I know how much of a charge to give them before day-long usage. Charging these is as easy as plugging in the included USB cable to any power dock. They charge pretty quickly and can be easily used for a whole day.The data is also easy to transfer to a PC with another cord that is included. Everything you need to know about transferring the sound bites is outlined in the directions for first-timers, but if you’ve done it before, then the process is pretty intuitive. As far as comfortability goes, the clip is pretty small and won’t bother you if clipped onto a collar or shirt. The mic itself is a bit heavy so it might bring down your shirt a bit, so it is worth being conscious of when you are choosing what to wear. Because these are a nice neutral black color they won’t interrupt your outfit or draw attention to it.Overall, these mics are great for picking up focal noise and eliminating background noise. They have great charging capability and can be used all day long without any problems. I highly recommend them!

I got this keyboard/mouse during the lightning deal for close to 20$ so I consider it a steal compared to more expensive ones. What I like most about the keyboard is the tip toe soft feeling pressing of keys it's very quite which is a plus if your typing late at night with people trying to sleep. It's got a low profile making the wrist plates at the bottom work well as their's no step up like some keyboards I've used.The backlight color is very bright which Is what I wanted to match my pc build I wasn't interested in having them flash or doing anything crazy as that just gets annoying overtime. The mouse is "okay" it's just more of an added on thing as I see, I use a roadmice camaro mouse and that beats it in terms of comfort the havit to me angles my fingers too high.Here's the only thing that made me knock off a star... the enter key on the keyboard is chopped off which takes a lot of getting use to. It's the first keyboard I've seen with that arrangement to me it doesn't make sense as the enter key is the most often used key it should take up more room for ease of use. Whoever made that decision needs to find other employment.... just an uneeded design flaw as the keyboard is large as is their was plenty of room to make the enter key remain normal sized versus hacking it to make space for a key I will rarely ever use. I've included pics of hand placement when trying to keep index finger on j but to reach the enter key with my pinky I have to pull my hand off the other keys tad bit annoying.Overall it's worth the price for the good backlighting,ergonomics and super quite keys that feel well made. I'm starting to get use to the enter key but really puzzled why they chose that design choice on this board.
