I have been trying to buy a good, but not terribly expensive webcam for a few months. Bought 5 different ones, but none worked well. Finally, I found a perfect camera! Really! This NexiGo camera easily beats all the cheap, generic Chinese ones (there are hundreds of them on Amazon, and they are all essentially the same) in every way. Here's why:1. Both video and picture quality are amazing. The only camera, which provides absolutely realistic colors, great resolution and perfect clarity.2. No distortion! This camera has a normal viewing angle, which is absolutely great! It does not distort the picture at al, and it does not include the entire room in the picture (with al your stuff that you don't want others to see)3. Low light adjustment works great. No overexposure!4. It has automatic focus and brightness adjustments, which work well, but you can also switch to manual controls, if you wish, and those work well too.5. The microphone works well, and the sound quality is excellent.6. The clip is actually tight and sturdy: Unlike al other cams, it seats firmly on top of the monitor.Overall, absolutely worth the price!UPDATE:After using this camera for a few days, I have found that there is a problem. I still give this camera 5 stars, though, because the problem is a relatively minor one. Sometimes, when using auto focus, the video appears to bounce slightly, as if it cannot find the best setting. It seems that the problem is caused by usb ports on some computers, which do not provide enough power. Switching to the manual focus resolves the problem immediately. Unless you move a lot while taking a video or streaming, you do not need the auto focus feature at all. The manual focus on this camera works well, and it keeps the picture/video crisp even if you move a little.

I purchased this headset years ago because at the time I needed a decent headset with comfortable ear cups and good sound. I still use it and considering how long it's lasted me I decided to let you know the pros and cons.Pros:- Good sound- Comfortable- Muting mechanism- Very durable (try slamming it on the ground hard and it still won't break)- Good noise cancellationCons:- Microphone staticFinal Thoughts: If you need a good gaming headset but have a tight budget, this would be a good buy. The mic static happens when you have your mic volume up very high. However, when recording, your mic volume would be too low. Also if something is too loud like a video or song, the mic will pick it up. This is because of the static from the mic. The only way to counter it is to get a very good sound card and connect it through the back of your pc instead of the front panel. Aside from that, noise cancellation is decent because breathing heavily doesn't pick up on the mic but having a clicky keyboard will pick up 100%. How the headset mutes itself is by simply moving the mic upwards until you hear a click. I really dislike the fact that the mic would be able to pick up sound from a video or game if it was too loud but there is a way to counteract it.Better Headset Specs:7.1 Surround Sound > StereoUSB > 3.5mm Dual JackGetting a headset with 7.1 surround sound will sound way better and connecting the headset with a usb instead of 3.5mm dual jack will eliminate all mic static. Saves you the trouble of getting a good sound card. However, these specs make a headset cost more.Overall Score: 3.8/5

What can I say, it's awesome and it allows use of a pair of Beyer Dynamic DT770's and a mod mic, for instance, instead of a set of run of the mill gaming headsets. For a PS4 they are way better than any gaming headset, however, the only drawback to this device is that you can only access the full EQ and all the pre-settings for all the different games, music and movies and such with a PC. So if you have a PC, this is even better yet. Not too compatible with the Xbox, however, if you don't need chat and only need the audio output you can connect the USB to a computer and the optical cables to the console and access the app and EQ via the computer while listening through the console, Xbox or PS4. But again, this raises issues with microphones.I actually prefer to watch movies now with these headphones and this DAC. It's that good. And for games it's just peerless. My buddy really wants one but the microphone deal is the only issue for him.Only reason it didn't get five stars is because there isn't an app available for the PS4. That'd be really nice.Pair this up with a high quality set of ~250ohm headphones and a modmic or some such and you're good to go. I'd say go with ~200-250-ish vs. 600ohm because despite it being rated for those it seems to work better if you aren't maxing out the capabilities. Some say 600's aren't loud enough on high output but 250's most certainly are. And sound good.The DT770 and modmic 4 package deal I got on here paired up great with this, cost less and performs way better than the best gaming headset. I love this damn thing.

Like so many others I needed to find a webcam for meetings from home and found that all the "traditional" brands have been sold out for months or offered at outrageous prices. The Amcrest seemed to fit the bill, have decent reviews, and most importantly - it's available.First the pros. The camera has a good picture with pretty accurate skin tones. It also deals with back-lighting pretty well due to the 90deg camera angle which gives a good head shot without tons of background. The microphone works well without any issues of people not being able to hear me clearly. The privacy cover is a simple plastic cover that completely covers the lens. I also like that it flips up, so at a glance you can confirm if it's open versus the side sliding style. The mount also has tripod threads built in if you want to mount it to a small tripod on your desk instead of your monitor.On to the cons, and it's really only one - the mount. This is what made me knock it down a star. The mount has no issues when sitting in place, the camera doesn't drift or droop. However, opening and closing the privacy cover or adjusting the up/down angle of the camera can be a bit frustrating due to it being so loose. It doesn't have any friction in the hinges so as soon as you tilt the cover up, the camera is going to rotate up unless you hold it steady. This is then going to open up the part that pushes against the back of the monitor. I also wish it had some left/right rotation capability.TL;DR: Overall this webcam gets the job done for a good price.

 Overall review - It's a great mic quality that you can use with your phone/computer/iPad or device.A part of my day job is mixing bands and voice overs. I am not the best sound engineer in the world, but my ear is trained well enough to be able to give useful comments on this topic.If I could post more than one video, you would see a comparison. But, amazon only let's me upload one vid. What I compared in two vids was the quality of the pop voice lav mic with my iPhone's microphone. The outcome was that the pop voice mic is definitely warmer and fuller. In other words, the quality of sound that this lav mic gives is better sound quality than what my iPhone picks up on it's own.To mix my voice using the iPhone mic, I would need to add some low/mids or it will just sound thin. But, with the pop voice mic I was able to record my voice as it really sounds without needing to mix anything in or take anything out.Given, on my iPhone, there is no gain control as I recorded through the pop voice lav mic, so I picked up a lot of the A/C that was on in the room. But, that can be mixed out, or I can just turn the A/C off next time.DISCLAIMER - I have not yet tested higher volumes on this mic. So I don't know how it handles the full breadth of sound.LEAST FAVORITE THING ABOUT THE MIC - I wish it had a longer chord length. I understand that 6 feet should be plenty for headshot vids or podcasts... but, sometimes videos call for a longer length mic chord. Other than that, I love the mic.

The Razer Kaira is a comfortable headset that delivers an intense audio experience and has all the features that I could ask for. Being able to play my games as well as be connected via Bluetooth has been great and has been a great way to play , especially in cross-play titles that don’t have direct VoIP connectivity.Audio Quality is fairly decent, with a heavy bass. The headphones have an application on the Xbox that allows you to adjust the EQ. I highly recommend taking a minute and investing some effort into customizing the sound to your liking. You will get a lot more enjoyment from the headsets.The microphone has one of the better qualities in comparison to some older Razer headsets. I had no complaints from my party members and even had some commend me on how crisp it is. It is perfectly suitable to be able to stream if you are into it.During my time with the headset, I didn’t experience any latency or sound drops. I am actually able to play my XSX in a different room with no trouble from dropping audio wish is great!Arguably, one of the most important aspect to a headset is how comfortable they are. This is where I think the Kaira really shines. I don’t find it very heavy but overall does not feel cheap. It sits nicely on my head and cups around my ear perfectly, isolating sound. Personally, it is one of the more comfortable headsets that I have used for gaming.Overall, I am quite happy with how the Kaira feels and sounds. I can easily recommend these to all my friends.Just to note: If you want to update the firmware you need to attach it to a PC. You are not able to do it straight from the XSX.

Based on its price, it's pretty easy to tell these aren't meant to be top-notch earbuds. And they're not. They aren't as rich sounding or richly featured as my AirPods/Airpod Pros. And my Powerbeat 3s also sound more full (though not as good as the AirPods).If you know that going in (and you should, since you're paying sub-100) and your expectations are set, then you should be fully satisfied. They do sound good, just not great. I'd say they're rough akin to my several-years old Jabra Elites, though these are more bass-heavy, so I actually slightly prefer the Jabra.they're comfortable given that have a neck wire (obviously if that bugs you don't get these) and there lighter than my Powerbeats.all the basic controls are here in-line and work smoothly. Pairing was, as always between Apple products, fast and effortless. Immediately paired with all our phones/iPads fine.call quality was good, microphone worked great.they click together magnetically, but the wiring isn't super flexible, so I don't feel comfortable storing them in a small space. They come with 4 eartips for sizing.As always with Apple, packaging was nicely minimalI got these either for myself to have a pair of cheap earbuds to take places I don't want to have to worry about losing or to send to my son at college so he doesn't have to worry about losing them. They're budget earbuds but still fine sound, just not as good as the high-end ones, as should be expected. That don't come with a charger (just a cable), which I'm fine with as by now I've chargers up the wazoo, but something to be aware of.excellent product for its niche

The Logitech HD Webcam C270 is a great bargain for those seeking to record, share and chat without breaking the bank.The camera is slim and attractive, and I loved the fact that I could adjust its positioning on my monitor very easily, and that the camera is extremely stable once it's set up.The software installation process is fairly easy, although you have to be careful at a few steps in the installation process not to inadvertently include unwanted add-ons. The software itself is fairly easy to operate, and can actually enable the camera to accomplish some sophisticated functions like tracking your face when recording/video chatting, or operating for a set period via motion capture. I found the software slightly intrusive to keep running all the time, just because it seems like it's constantly reminding you about backups or updates, so I just run it when I want to use the webcam.As far as the hardware goes -- the Webcam C270 itself operates pretty well, and I didn't experience the dreaded vertical lines some here did (and that plagued my last web camera). The camera's images were sharp and clear for me, and I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the microphone recorder, as well -- especially since it's some distance from me (as I've got the camera positioned on my monitor).As with many digital video cameras or webcams, the imagery you take may run a little 'warm' -- with lots of reds, golds and bright colors unless you balance the colors slightly (which the software makes it easy to do), but it's a great webcam for the price, and a model that's a perfect choice for those seeking to use it to web chat with loved ones far away. They'll feel like they're right there with you.
