First of all, a bit about me that's relevant. Idk if I'd call myself an audiophile per say, but, my range of hearing is fine to the level of better than most musicians.Nothing messes with me more than when I have a cheap pair of headphones which interfere with what I'm listening to.... If their cheap and they distort the sound, or, are insane with treble so as to be piercing, I'll notice and it'll probably be painful to my ears. Most of the audio ranges I hear are at the - 10 range, meaning, almost perfect hearing.That means, even on a $20 set of headphones, I'll probably use them because of necessity, but hate the experience because of how much they interfere with my experience since I can tell if there's a quality issue even at a very fine degree, I'll find it and it'll bug me, and, given that I have headphones on most of they day and listen to things frequently, it's important that I buy quality headphones.So, I'm no stranger to Skull Candy. Their audio quality is the best of all the headphones I've had over the decades. The issue which always has me hesitant to buy them is a matter of durability.Most of my less expensive Skullcandy headphones have broken very easily, which sucked when I was on the go... It was to the point which I was hesitant to buy these headphones because of similar fears and the price...That said, these headphones were an investment, and and investment that panned out.I've been using the Crusher Evo headphones for more than a year now, constantly, daily, most of the day and even when sleeping, so, this review is based on almost 24/7 usage for more than a year... And...They're still working amazing, the battery life is still phenomenal, the advertising that states they're able to play for hours on a charge of only a few minutes is absolutely true too. I've accidentally stepped on them, I've slept with them on most nights, and nothing has happened except that, after such heavy usage, today one of the earpads got a tear around the edge that tucks under the plastic of the headphones which... Thankfully, they sell replacements for the foam.The product is sturdy, has a very nice feel, solid, durable weight and plastic, the foam wraps around the ears nicely, and I can easily get a proper, snug fit every time which, I have a big-ish head and long-ish ears, so, that's not something that's easy for me usually.Not only are they extremely comfortable and scream quality from their physical aspects, but it came with a rugged carrying bag and nice aux chord, and extremely high quality long charging cable. It didn't come with a charging brick, but has worked with all the charging bricks I've used on them, including my Nintendo Switch charger.Now, all that's fine... Being the most durable and comfortable feeling headphones is important... But, headphones can feel amazing, but have Crap sound quality so, that's the aspect I love the most about these... That sound quality.... One word... Amazing...So, everything sounds accurate, there's no distortion and, even having been playing things at max volume for a year straight, there's still no distortion and everything sounds just as amazing as they used to. One of the aspects I love is the bass...That's another thing I need to be spot on with headphones, bass. They could be clear, have accurate sound and everything, but of there is no bass, or the bass is very weak, I physically can't use the headphones... That's how important bass is to me... Furthermore, accurate bass is a necessity. Idk how many pairs of headphones I ended up chucking into the bin because, yeah, they had powerful bass, but that bass wasn't accurate, and that bass lead to the rest of the sounds being obscured/distorted/sounding like someone is talking normally right next to a sub-woofer.These headphones play the bass loud, accurate, and do so without compromising the quality of the rest of the audio... And... Holy gods.... I was startled to the point the headphones flew off my ears by how powerful the bass is when you adjust the slider on them to max bass boost... Why? They vibrated intensely. Not in a bad way, as in, when you have them on and the bass hits and vibrates the speakers, you won't be bothered by it/it won't cause an unpleasant feeling, but it is there and.... Idk... I find I like it because it's a part of the engineering of the headphones and not an unintended result.That said, these are, by far, the best audi investment I've ever made. I have used them constantly for a full year extremely heavily, and they're still here and working just the same. By contrast, previously, I'd have gone through 5/6 pairs of other headphones by Now, so.... If you can afford these, get them.They are technically a headset unit, and actually prefer to take calls with them, but, I can't tell you if the microphone quality is the best, just that I haven't had any complaints from anyone, so, given that even with the best microphone on prior headsets, I got complaints, I'd imagine that is also good with these headphones because, I have never gotten a complaint or someone saying "You're breaking up. What did you say?".These will be used when I get back to mixing tracks and making music when I fix my computer, that's how good they are.Tl;Dr - Worth it.

Before this I had a very expensive, name brand camera. It did us well for 4 1/2 years until the antenna snapped off. My son is getting older, so a camera isn't REALLY necessary anymore, but I found myself still wanting to watch when he first goes down, and early in the morning if I wake up before he does. So I started searching for a replacement when I came across this one. It had (almost) everything I was looking for but was skeptical.. there weren't a lot of reviews, all 5 stars. Though they are "verified" I have come to not always trust that as I have seen identical "verified" reviews on different products in the past. (Not on this one but like I said, skeptical). I also tried searching for other reviews elsewhere on the internet and didn't really come up with anything.. but for $70 (on sale) for 2 cameras and large monitor though I figured I would take the chance anyway. Worst case scenario I return it. Best case scenario I got a steal. Well, it has only been a few days now but I thought I would leave an honest review to help others finding themselves in a similar position. If anything changes, I will edit my review. It works, the cameras connected with no problem. The picture quality is a bit fuzzy, especially compared to the name brand one we had for so long, but I can see well enough. The quality kind of reminds me of the pictures you would take on your cell phone in 2006. Clear, but not crisp. Night vision works with similar quality. It works for me, I can see if he's awake and I can tell if he is ok or not. There is no zoom function, and the picture is the equivalent of the name brand monitor zoomed in. But again, I can see him just fine where I have it set up so thats all that matters to me. But just be warned it will be tricky to set up and have a clear view of the whole room. But as of now those are really the only down sides to this monitor, which don't really make a difference to me since it does not hinder me in any way from what my intentions are with it. What I am pleasantly surprised about is that there are actually a couple things I like better with this set than the name brand one. The monitor is twice the size, so even though its a little fuzzy I can still clearly see the picture even from a distance (for example, I have it sitting on a counter and I'm on the other side if the kitchen making coffee or something. I can look over and still see hes sleeping, which I couldn't with the other.) The other day I set up the second one in the living room while I went out to shovel the driveway. Doing the first half I was able to have the monitor sitting on something and I could hear and still see him. As I started the second half, closer to the road I put the monitor in my pocket so I could atleast still hear him. This brings me to the second thing I am impressed about with this monitor. With the name brand one I could barely get out the door outside without losing signal. In fact, the old one was so finicky with signal I would randomly lose it constantly no matter how close or far I was, even before the antenna started to get loose and eventually snapped off, never mind going outside with it (another plus btw, it doesn't have an external antenna so no worries of this one snapping off! Lol). Not once, even with it in my pocket, not even when I went across the street to clear my mailbox, I did not lose signal. The last thing that surprised me with this monitor is the microphone feature. With my name brand one, if I wanted to talk to him and hit the button it would mute the sound from his room while I was holding it. But I discovered that that is not the case with this one. I can still hear him talking even if I'm holding the microphone button which makes it a little easier to actually have a conversation with him that way if I need to. The range of how far the camera can turn is also impressive and actually exceeds the name brands abilities. This setup works perfect for us and our needs and was exactly what I was looking for. The picture isn't the best, and how zoomed in it is makes it difficult and sometime impossible to get a full view of a room, but not a deal breaker in the least. The areas that this actually exceeds the more expensive one more than makes up for where it lacks, including it coming with TWO cameras that I can view in a split screen if I choose where as the other only came with one. If you are in a similar position as me, or new parents on a budget, or anywhere in between I would certainly suggest this set up. For the price it can't be beat. I felt compelled to write this review to try to help others who are as skeptical as I was, and hopefully I have done just that.

I am not a heavy webcam user so you can judge my review by that if you like. This camera is a really nice webcam however. I use it relatively often in an office setting for video chat and conferencing. Sometimes, I set it up for playing around with time-lapse out my window, too.In Windows 7 (64 or 32 bit) it's a breeze to install. Essentially just plug it in and you're done. There are other pieces of software you can get from Logitech, but I don't like them, and just go with the stock software settings available from the drivers and the specific software I use with this camera.Image quality is very good if your software will take advantage of the high resolution (some will restrict you). In general the clarity and sharpness are quite good. The colors and other controls are good for a webcam, but otherwise not very impressive. This is essentially the same as a good quality webcam, or cameraphone. Great for video chat/conferencing, but you're not going to get awesome results if you're really hoping for some amazing video production. That comes off as worse than it is, you're looking at this for specifically the reasons I listed I would imagine, and that this product is suited for them is exactly what it should be suited for.Audio quality is also good. As long as your connection moves the data along, and you're not trying to get a large conference room full of people all at the same level of clarity (an unrealistic expectation) this camera does quite well with clear, audible microphone quality when you're seated comfortably within about 3-5 feet (or less) of it.The folding stand and tripod mount make this guy really versatile. It's easy to balance on most monitors, it swivels to just about any position you could possibly want, and makes adjustment really, really simple. The tripod mount is an added bonus that does come in handy. When you're travelling, the way that this camera collapses is really excellent too. It gets very small, protects the lens, and comes out just fine on the other side.You could probably find something better, but this camera is right there at the sweet spot of good features, functional design, and a good price. I would only hesitate to give the 5th star in my review because I think that changing priorities in image quality would help this device stand out a bit more. Better image quality is not just a pixel race, and I would love to see some improvement there. But I would certainly give an emphatic 4 stars to this camera. Really good product.

The media could not be loaded.


















 First of all, this is the real McCoy. This camera rivals the main brand action cameras made by more famous electronics makers. It has a very solid feel to it, the battery and connector covers are hinged and they securely lock in place with a button. Parts of the camera have a ruggedized rubber finish to them, and the camera itself has a threaded tripod screw-hole on the bottom. The touchscreen is perfectly responsive, the menus are designed in easy-to-navigate icon/grid format, and it is loaded with shooting modes and options to make even the most demanding scenarios easy to capture. I think everything about this camera says quality.You get the wristband remote, a ton of mounts and GoPro-style adapters, an external microphone, a charging cable, a lens cover, the water-tight casing, etc., etc. The point is that you have more than enough to get you started even if you’ve never had an action camera before.Specs wise, there isn’t anything lacking on the camera. The front-facing screen (second one) is great if you use this as a webcam or for selfies: To toggle between the main screen and that screen you just hold down the “M” button for a second.You can record video in resolutions from 720P/30 frames to 4K/30 frames, and everything in between with my favorite thus far being 1080P/90 frames per second. I like the 90 frames when we’re shooting outdoor stuff because it’s great to go back and find things we missed in real time. On the photo side I like using the full 20 megapixels, but I imagine there may be times when you might go down to 3MP for size and speed if resolution isn’t a big factor.The remote control wristband has its own rechargeable battery inside so it must be recharged periodically with a microUSB cable. From the wristband you can start and stop video recording or activate the shutter to capture a still photo.It’s a really nice-quality camera and as I mentioned it includes just about everything you can imagine… Almost. I have two suggestions to the manufacturer: 1) Include a Mini-HDMI to HDMI cable (sometimes called Type-D), so that we can connect it to a large TV, and 2) Include a second battery. The battery life is fine, but when you’re on the go, who has time to recharge the camera? I saw that they’ve made a dual-pack of batteries for this camera available and that it comes with a charger. I’ve already ordered mine, and if you’re getting this camera, I highly recommend you get one as well because you’re not going to want to stop using it while it charges… It’s that much fun.

Purchased this GoPro HERO5 after seeing that it came with a sixty dollar Amazon gift card promo (shipped separately from the camera). I had previously purchased and returned the HD model, being very disappointed in its audio quality and the inability to swap out batteries. This model immediately peaked my interest as it has improved audio with (3) onboard microphones, a touchscreen, the battery can be swapped out and it has 4k video capabilities.I will primarily be using this cam to vlog, but I also plan on putting the cam on my dogs and will take it rafting and fishing this summer. I like that the housing is waterproof and appreciate that I don't have to purchase a skeleton for it which might muffle the audio performance. There is also a port which is not covered by the included frame (skeleton) which can be used by a GoPro microphone adapter to add an external microphone to the camera. I think it's crazy expensive... but then again what GoPro accessory isn't if it's been branded as such? If interested... GoPro Pro 3.5mm Mic Adapter (HERO5 Black/HERO5 Session) (GoPro Official Accessory).What I like about this camera:☆ Takes great looking 720p, 1080p and 4K video, even in low light conditions.☆ 1080P at 120fps is a sweet spot for video reviews.☆ Audio without an external microphone is quite good.☆ Raw Audio: "This setting applies only to the Video capture mode and creates aseparate .wav file for your video, in addition to the standard .mp4 audiotrack. You can select the level of processing to apply to the RAW audiotrack. This setting is useful if you want a separate .wav file to share or usein post-processing."☆ It's easy to get started using it after viewing a brief onscreen tutorial.☆ The recommended Micro SD cards are listed on the GoPro website. I purchased the Sandisk Extreme PLUS - Flash Memory Card - 64 GB - MicroSDXC UHS-I, Gold/Red (SDSQXSG-064G-ANCMA) for forty dollars and it immediately was recognized by the HERO5 and I was able to record both video at 1080P and 4K without a hitch.From the GoPro HERO5 Black manual:" Use brand name memory cards that meet these requirements:• microSD, microSDHC, or microSDXC• Class 10 or UHS-I rating• Capacity up to 128GB** For a list of the recommended microSD cards visit the GoPro website or do a Google search to get it."☆ The touchscreen has clear directions, is responsive to touch and bright enough to be easy to see in bright conditions.☆ Being able to easily change settings by touch (video quality, field of view...) works really well and examples on screen very helpful.☆ Turning the camera on and off is easily accomplished, as well as switching from photos to video.☆ Photos taken with the HERO5 are very good at 12MP.☆ WDR and RAW photo capabilities.☆ Advanced image stabilization seems to work really well.☆ Battery life of approximately 2 hours - shooting 1080P - works great with a 64GB SanDsk Extreme Plus card.☆ GoPro Capture software for iOS allows for remote control of the camera.☆ Voice Control is possible with this GoPro camera!☆ One-button recording is quick and easy to use.☆ Enabling GPS allows for geo-marking photos and video.☆ GoPro Quik software allows users to view, edit and produce quality videos from their PC, Mac or iOS device.-------------------------------------------What I wish was better:♦︎ The HERO5 comes with virtually no directions. I had to go online to look-up where the charging port was located, and while it comes with voice command capabilities - there's nothing that ships with it to tell you how to do it. You can however, go to the GoPro website and click Support. From there you enter your product and what language if preferred.♦︎ The HERO5 I received had a few visual flaws on the camera and skeleton. Quality control from GoPro may be lacking.♦︎ There is NO MEMORY with the camera. It seems GoPro could have thrown in a compatible Micro SD card for the price paid.♦︎ Charging of the camera from 7% battery took 1 hour - a little longer than I'd like.♦︎ Ships with a charging cable USB-C; the new standard which not everyone has as of yet, but no mini HDMI to HDMI cable is included. If you want an extra here's one: Cable Matters USB 2.0 Type C (USB-C) to Type A (USB-A) Cable in Black 6.6 Feet that's about seven bucks.♦︎ No Mini HDMI to HDMI cable included. Needed if you want to hook it up to a HDTV to view content vs hooking up to a PC or taking out the microSD card. Yet another thing to buy!♦︎ At present off-branded batteries do not work with this GoPro cam after a firmware update - you've got to buy GoPro batteries.♦︎ If you will be working with 4K video, you will probably need a fast PC to use GoPro Quik Desktop software. While Windows 64-bit systems: Win 7, 8.1, and 10 are supported and Mac OS 10.10X or later, Intel Quad Core i7 processors are recommended and an Intel HD Graphics 4000 or better. NO 32-bit support. Alternatively you can load to the cloud and edit with iOS.♦︎ You can buy space on the GoPro Plus cloud storage is available to store all your photos and video, and share them on social media while you're on the go, but once again... more to buy. Consider other options like Dropbox Pro or Amazon.♦︎ No screen protectors or lens cap comes with the HERO5, and must be purchased separately.♦︎ While the camera is waterproof, the doors to the charging port and battery compartments don't seem particularly strong. Care should be taken when gaining access to each compartment to maintain this feature. NOTE: In the manual found on the GoPro website (Support) you can learn how to take the charging port door off.♦︎ GoPro warranty... "Every GoPro comes with a 30 day money back guarantee and a one year GoPro warranty that covers manufacturer defects. This doesn’t cover accidental damage...". I think that's pathetic considering how much you pay for these cams, but you can buy GoPro Care within 60 days for an additional $39 from GoPro. "GoPro Care is like AppleCare for your GoPro. It extends the coverage from manufacturer defects to two years, and it adds accidental coverage to your GoPro for two years." You will pay $79 for accidental damage claims even with GoPro Care, but there are a few other perks that having this coverage provides."In addition to a better GoPro Care warranty, buying GoPro Care adds three more features that can help you get a replacement faster and better overall support. GoPro Care includes Rapid Camera Replacement which means that they will send a replacement camera wherever you are — even if you are on vacation or on a shoot. Premium Customer Support includes GoPro expert assistance that includes priority phone support, 24/7 chat and email support for camera and software problems. You also get access to GoPro consulting that can help you learn GoPro editing tips and tricks, access to special insider blogs and best practices." **Quotes taken from info on the Gotta Be Mobile website.Info inside the box on how to obtain GoPro Care is in the box if you want it.-----------------------------Overall, I like this GoPro HERO5 action cam a lot, and I'm sure I'll have fun with it. It's certainly a step up from the GoPro HERO+ LCD [Ecommerce Packaging] I returned in terms of ease of use, audio quality and features.While I wasn't sure the HERO5 was worth the money, my initial thoughts are it is and I'm glad I got it.Obviously there are some things I wish were better and/or included with the HERO5 Black, and yet I'd still recommend it to others in the market for a similar camera. If I planned on using it for recording lots of active pursuits I'd definitely add the GoPro Care warranty.In addition to an extra battery two other products I purchased for this camera include: Fetch Dog Harness Chest Mount for Gopro HERO 5/4/3 Black Silver Session(10-in-1) and GoPro Tripod Mounts (GoPro Official Mount).------------------------------------NOTE: I will update this review as I use this GoPro and adjust my star rating if needed.

So the first set of headphones I bought lasted about 3.3 years. During COVID, the headset that used to be for casual gaming time with friends became a daily meeting work tool.I abused these headphones by stuffing it into backpacks since they’re made pretty durable and over time the ear paddings was slowly showing wear. However, the headphone was still useable. What eventually broke was the wiring that caused sound to not go into one of the ears.The over-ear padding does put some pressure on the ears which takes time to get used to.The noise canceling is pretty good. I have a portable air conditioner that gets pretty loud and most people I asked if they could hear it going, didn’t even know I had one on.The sound quality is okay. I’m not an audiophile but I’m sure my friends who are (and has paid hundreds for a better sounding pair) would say the headphone is okay for a cheapo pair.The headphones work fine on my old iPhone/iPad that has a AUX jack. It works on both MacBooks and PCs. Works fine on a backbone controller for newer iPhones. I’ve even tried it on a Roku remote (needs an AUX jack) to stream shows.There are no blinking LED lights and you can mute yourself by flipping the mic up and down, no switch needed. One quirk to the mic is you might need to make sure the mic is on first when going into a meeting room but afterwards, just flip the mic up to mute yourself. It’s definitely convenient without having to manually mute yourself. I also work with a lot of different meeting apps so not all of them are have a proper mute hotkey.One visible difference from the first pair to the new one is the microphone. The older pair’s mic curves and is a bit more bendable that when you flip it up, it nicely slopes along the side and top of the headset. When you flip the new pair up, it just stands straight up like a weird antenna and is no longer as bendable. Not quite sure the reasoning for it. It does feel odd having it stick up like that when not in use though.Overall, there isn’t much to really complain about. I’m definitely much happier with the new pair than I would with other headphones out there, and I have tried a few others after the first pair broke.

So, I love that my son can now Skype with his grandparents anytime he wants. He can interact with them as he couldn't before and that is worth it's weight in gold to me. That being said, I am still having a few issues with getting the video to sharpen up and sometimes the lighting system gets it a little wrong. It's not superb at dealing with situations where the light in the room is at an odd angle for the camera (such as our computer room).The video does degrade a bit on the receiving end through Skype, but I expected this just due to compression and such. I had some difficulties getting any of the avatars to work, but wasn't that invested in them so I just pushed it aside for a day when I am bored and feel like blowing a few hours on something odd.My parents are not computer friendly for the most part and the ease of use and set up with this camera was a bit plus for me, as I purchase one for them as well. I love the high quality lense, for someone who knows about high end cameras I am happy to have a Car Zeiss in my Webcam.The microphone is top notch. There was no muffling or distortion of the voice and no need to talk loud or adjust the input/output in order to hear the incoming video clearly.I liked the idea of the mounting brackets design, but it turned out to be rather hard to adjust to my parents flat panel. The hinges are not quite long enough to pin it in place properly, so out comes the good old packing tape. A little strip over the base of the bracket and she's stuck to the top of that screen good. A third small hinge somewhere in the design would have made it a little more ideal for sitting on our flat panel. The swivel head is great and I like the light weight. I wish the hinges were a little tighter so that when you do get it in place you could tension set it really well, but details details.... I wish my car could automatically unload my groceries for me too, but we can't have everything. :)Overall, I think this is the best webcam for the price range and by far the best for the easy set up and use. It automatically syncs up to Skype if you tell it to and we didn't even have to install the CD content to set it all up. A A+ in that arena as I despise the excessive junk that seems to accompany some install software.Go out, buy it, and if you think maybe its too much when you can get one cheaper. Look at the video reviews, calculate how much money you will save Skyping instead of calling by phone, look at how much you plan to use it...and how much the person on the other end needs a high quality video or not.Good luck and good hunting!

I have had a couple of J-Lab products in the past; a pair of their Go Air Pop earbuds, and their Go Air Keyboard. Both products I think are some of the best I've used, and this J-Lab headset doesn't disappoint either.For starters, it is very light. I almost forget that it's on my head. There is ear fatigue if I wear it for more than 6 hours without taking it off, where my ears start to realize they haven't breathed in a bit, but I don't generally do anything that requires wearing them for that long. And even at that point, it's not unbearable to the point where I have to take them off to give me heador ears a rest. Part of that is probably because the earpads are incredibly soft. I don't know what the material is, but it's different than other headphones. I've never used the previous model of the Go Work headset but I can tell you just by comparing these to a picture of it, the earpads are tons better here.The headband could be better; it's a thin flimsy strip of metal like they have on their Retro headset, which is fine, but I think retaining the previous headband which was thicker and padded may have aided even more in the comfort. But again, I haven't used the previous model so I can't tell you how good or bad its headband was. This headband isn't bad, and most of the time you don't even notice it, but I would still rather it be a little more of what I'm used to with headsets. Not a deal-breaker by any means, just a small nitpick.The sound is on par with their Go Air Pop earbuds, but with slightly less bass. Because these sit on the ear instead of in or around the ear, the bass is a little distant. It's present, just not how I'd like it. But it makes the mids and highs sound fantastic; on YouTube videos with a lot of speaking, like unboxing and tech review type videos, voices are sharp, clear and pretty much how they're supposed to be and the highs don't screech or squeak. If only they could have boosted the low end slightly, these would have been borderline perfect.I used the microphone for a couple of phone calls and they said the quality was better than talking on my Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ and Google Pixel 7. Not tinny or distorted, not overly bassy, but almost like an in-person conversation. I haven't heard it myself, just going by what the people I've talked to have told me. But I would like to think it's accurate.Overall, if you want a good headset for music, maybe a little bit of gaming, phone calls, Zoom meetings and things like that, you can't go wrong with these, especially for the price.
