I've been extremely impressed with these headphones. I was a little worried at first since the headphones wouldn't turn on automatically when removing them from the case, but that was my fault. Don't make the same I did. Remember to remove the little plastic covers on the headphones then everything will work great.The battery case is by far my favorite feature of these headphones. I take the headphones out and it syncs to my Note 9 within a couple of seconds. This is great when I am on the phone and want to quickly use one of the headphones as a headset. Putting it back in the case also immediately causes them to turn off and start charging. Now I don't have to worry about charging the headphones every single time I use them and only charge the case once in a while.The audio quality is pretty good as well. Music and voice have been very clear. I wouldn't say it has very heavy bass, but turning on dolby atmos sound definitely turned up the bass and the sound on my phone. The range is pretty great as well. I can probably get about 20+ feet away from my phone until it starts cutting in and out. Even when it cuts out it will immediately reconnect which is great. I have started using these as my primary headset when talking on the phone since the audio and microphone are so much clearer than my dedicated headset.The volume and fast forward/rewind buttons are a little harder to get used to. Fortunately I usually just use my phone's buttons for volume and skip forward/back so it doesn't really bother me. The other features definitely make up for it.

I bought the Arctis 9 when they first came out in Jan 2021, so I've been using it for close to two years now and it has been flawless. I had to resync it to the dongle one time but other than that I've had zero problems. Audio in games as well as music is excellent, and the microphone is one of the best I've used. After a full year of WFH and trying different mics, I was primarily interested in using this headset for work calls, although the gaming surround sound was a great bonus. I spend a lot of time on calls, and four features make this excellent for WFH use: 1) the ski-band comfort is a huge bonus, 2) the sidetone so I can hear my own voice in my ears, 3) the long range of the 2.4GHz dongle, and 4) the very long battery life. Recently I was on an outage call for 10 straight hours with the Arctis 9's and still had battery and didn't have an aching skull. The different headsets I tried throughout 2020 always left me with aching ears or a painful spot on top of my head.The only complaint I have with the Steelseries is the GG software has always been buggy and sometimes will completely fail to load. Thankfully you can mostly set it and forget it, but if you want to switch audio profiles (you'll want to have Game, Music, and Work profiles) you're out of luck if GG is being a pain.GG software aside, I highly recommend Steelseries, particularly the Arctis 9. I can also recommend the Arctis 7, having purchased 3 pairs for my 3 kids. They can stand up to somewhat rough handling, sound great, and the mic has good noise-cancellation.

I have a laptop, but the built-in speakers and microphone are really inadequate when I'm in my home office, especially when participating in a Zoom or Teams meeting. I had a couple of inexpensive stereo speakers and decided to replace them. I didn't know what I was missing. This self-contained sound bar has two tweeters and a central woofer. They sound quality was dramatically improved. I've tested it on conference calls, news reports, games, and classical music. In was especially impressed with the depth of sound, clarity, dynamic range, and stereo separation while listening to a classical music performance.The unit comes with a USB A cable for power. For audio, it can be connected either with the included traditional audio cable that plugs into the port on your PC (if you have one) or the sound can be sent over Bluetooth. You can't use both options at once, but the unit automatically switches to Bluetooth when you disconnect the audio cable (or vice versa) and provide a confirmatory tone so you know the operation has occurred. I've tested both modes. Pairing was fast and simple; sound quality is still great over Bluetooth.There is a large volume dial on the right side of the sound bar that also functions as an on/off switch. The speakers only only 5W, but the volume is loud enough to be heard clearly from an adjoining room, although in my case I will usually be sitting right in front of the sound bar.The sound bar is encased in wood and has a metal front grill in front of the enclosed speakers. It is certainly not fine wood, but it is nicely finished and a step above a plastic box.I'm quite pleased with this sound bar and believe it delivers substantial value for its price.

When this arrived and I first opened the case it comes in I thought, oh, ok that looks neat (small) but then I picked it up, two things stood out, 1 it was cold to the touch and 2, this is a really heavy solid mic which does not match the low price tag. The whole thing is made of metal and feels really substantial in the hand, a really pleasant surprise. Also in the case is a mic clamp for attaching to, in my case, a desk arm, The clamp seemed too small for the mic, but after a couple of minutes trying, I got it to go onto the mic and it holds very tightly, the mic is going nowhere once in place. Note, this mic has NO on-off switch and does NOT come with an XLR lead. I needed a new mic to replace the small cheap on camera one I was using for Skype and other video calls and this one popped up in my search. As I also have a Behringer 302USB Xenyx 5 Input Mixer (Which I have also reviewed) I thought that this mic would be a perfect match, and it is. I needed a mic that would pickup sound from a distance as well as close up but all the reviews and videos I saw seemed to suggest that it had to be held near the persons mouth to pick up anything but happily this was not the case, after doing a proximity test I found that it would pick up speech from anywhere in my room as long as you were in front of it, so more distance than I would need. Probably in an onstage performance situation then yes it would need to be close to the singer or performer. So, would I recommend this microphone, yes I would, it looks good and sounds good and is a great addition to my set up.

I just recently have become interested in recording my bass guitar for personal projects and for fun, but I was unable to plug the headphone output from my amp straight into my 2018 MacBook Pro because it would only recognize this as an output, not an input. I knew a microphone or external audio interface would come with plug that would hopefully be recognized correctly, so I began looking online for suitable setups. Since I am only recording for fun, I did not want to spend $100+ on a true audio interface when I only need the basic recording and can then edit in GarageBand/Audacity.I decided to try out this sound adapter because it uses a USB input, which I hoped meant the computer itself would recognize it as both an output and input device. It did! I was able to plug my amp headphone output into the sabrent device and then into my computer via an adapter (seen in photo), which then allowed me to select it as an input device.As for the sound quality of the input, it sounds fine. I had to play with both the settings on my amp and in Garageband and audacity for it to sound right, but it was pretty simple. There is a bit of static that can be lessened by slightly moving cords and plug ins, but I usually hear that out of my amp anyway. You could probably edit out most of the static or at least reduce it a lot using any audio program on a computer.Overall, I was very excited that the sabrent worked for this purpose, as I know it is more intended for other sound purposed. I can't vouch for its longevity because I have only had it for a day, but I think it is well worth it for the price and I'm glad I tried it out!

So I received a used product with scuffs and fingerprints - I realize I'm reviewing this product for free but still not a good look yo.So I would probably give this 3.5 stars but I'm rounding up because of the cables and versatility of the device. I've done a lot of professional video work so I'm acknowledging that this is just not professional equipment, I own a pair of Sennheiser EWs and after 10+ years this device still doesn't even compare to those. But as a quick shoot or interview solution this works well. The transmit range is decent, the magnetic clips are GREAT and allows the mics to be hidden under clothing. Not great for subjects doing heavy motion/running where they could get knocked off the magnet. The microphone sound is about that of an iPhone 5 series, not as good as my 13 Pro Max but fairly good for a close interview or web stream. Two mics are helpful though I wish they were labeled 1&2 or something. Instructions say it can transmit across 100m (a football field), I'm not confident about that but would wager 50m of clear space is safe but I have not tested this. They do have to be placed fairly close to the mouth, sensitivity range is limited.A big gripe I have with this device and others like this is the lack of battery indication. Instructions say 3 hours of use on full charge which isn't that much, wish there was like a 3 light indicator or something instead of just flashing or a numeric LED. So you have to intentionally charge and plan before using for something long. Overall this is a handy, functional device. Love the included cables, that I can use it with my SLR camera or external sound recorder device as well as my iPhone, and the holding pouch is very handy.

Wanted a baby monitoring set with a big screen hence got this to try. Good unboxing experience of this product. Well-arranged and everything feels branded including the box in which comes. Also, out of the box, I was impressed with the setup. Didn’t had to do even a single thing other than unwrapping the box and connecting to power.Pros:- Decent build quality- There is almost zero video lag from the camera to screen. Very smooth video playback.- Very light and highly portable screen with big size 5'' color display- Has 2X & 4X Zoom magnification- Clear picture quality- Temperature thermometer is a great addon to keep track of the baby’s room- Baby lullabies and white noise is inbuilt and can be controlled remotely- Camera and screen come paired out of the box and so you don’t have to spend any minute on setup. Connect to power and turn on the screen- Has both voice activation and night vision- Each camera has a speaker and microphone for a 2-way talk feature. Voice is clear during 2-way audio communication- Large rechargeable battery in the monitor and runs for long after full charge- Has split functionality for up to 4 cameras live view together if you add more than 1 camera- Eco mode is helpful too to save power when needed- Inbuilt night light is unique and have never seen in any other competitive baby monitor- It’s a great gift option. Highly recommended- Detailed instruction manual included for referenceCons:- To make the inbuilt night light feature, this camera body is made kind of translucent, and that gives a feeling of cheap material but for the features offered, I can live with it

I needed a good microphone for online work but didn't want to shell out a lot of money. Plus I had about $60 left in Amazon gift cards, so I did some research for good microphones undrer $50. I found an exact matching "Linus Tech Tips" video reviewing several differnt options inclujding the Blue Snowball ICE, Fifine USB Mic, Samson Meteorite, and the XM8500 with the UM2 interface. Although for my purposes probably any of the other mics would have been good enough, I went with the XLR setup because it provided some upgradability and I never used an XLR setup before so I was curious. Also, in LTT's review, he made a point to say how good it was at not picking up background noise and how good the range was on this particular mic.Setting up the mic and interface was pretty much plug and play. Windows 10 autoatically installed the drivers and it was ready to go. I have heard some people mention that for better performance you should download the Behringer drivers but I have to say that for me, the audio already sounds outstanding. Now I don't have a lot of experience with professional or streaming mics, but just comparing it to the audio from the built in mic on mywebcam, I have to say the difference is night and day: beautiful natural sound and picks up very little backgroud noise. I have to say, I never heard my own voice sound that good on a recording. If you have the space and want a set up which provides room to upgrade, or just want to dip your hands into xlr, I would highly recommend this setup.
