Most Critical Review

Good and bad

Sennheiser HD 2.30i On-Ear Headphones (iOS Devices) - Black
Sennheiser HD 2.30i On-Ear Headphones (iOS Devices) - Black

Pros: - Sound is fairly good. Bass is adequate the highs are a little muffled. - The 2.30i is designed for an iphone (with controls) but also works in a standard computer audio jack as a simple headphone.

Cons: The clamp force for me is close to being painful. I consider my head average adult size. I like on the ear style because typically it lets some outside noise in. These do not. I currently have the installed over a box in the hope it will relax the plastic. If it doesn't they will not be usable for me.

Overall Review: The price is good since the HD 2.30 has been succeeded by the HD 100. Probably good for jogging or working in the yard because they sure as heck not going to fall off. Due to the lack of adjustment for clamping force I would only recommend these for children with small heads.

StarTech USBBT1EDR4 Mini USB Bluetooth 4.0 Adapter - 50m / 165 ft. Class 1 EDR Wireless Dongle - Mini Bluetooth Dongle Bluetooth Smart Ready LE+EDR

Pros: Good range

Cons: Silver metal portion slipped of the black plastic portion that held the electronics. Was removed three times then came apart.

Overall Review: Apparently designed for a one time installation. I do not recommend.

XMP doesn't work

G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series 32GB (4 x 8GB) DDR4 3000 (PC4 24000) Desktop Memory Model F4-3000C14Q-32GVK
G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series 32GB (4 x 8GB) DDR4 3000 (PC4 24000) Desktop Memory Model F4-3000C14Q-32GVK

Pros: Works at the motherboard default frequency 2133 Ghz

Cons: XMP does not work Lot of money wasted when you can't acquire the promised speed.

Overall Review: I purchased this memory based on G.Skill web site compatibility statement. Motherboard - Asrock Z270 Taichi updated to latest BIOS Processor - Intel Core i7-7700K No issues booting with the motherboard non-XMP defaults 2133 Ghz. When enabling XMP with motherboard switch and in BIOS I can no longer boot. Motherboard errors A2 which correlates to a SATA issue. I think it make be related to my OS drive a Samsung NVMe SSD 960 EVO. Prior to updating the BIOS when I tried XMP the computer would not even allow access to the BIOS. Removing the NVMe SSD did allow BIOS access.
