Really nice

JBL J88a Premium Over-Ear Headphones with Mic - White
JBL J88a Premium Over-Ear Headphones with Mic - White

Pros: I was just looking for a decent set of headphones to listen to music with while at work as the cord was falling out of my old ones at the button. I have to say though so far these are amazing. I did read some reviews on other sites where people have broken the connection where you can twist the headphones around. They only go one way so be careful and don't force it if you aren't sure which way they go. That said, I have had no issues. They have a removable cable that is flat and tangle free. The button works fine for playing pausing answering or hanging up phone calls from my phone. The ear cups are super soft and very comfortable even for long periods of time. Lastly, they sound really good. From my phone they sound pretty good but on my work computer that has more power to the port they really kick. They also do a great job of blocking out my coworkers yammering back and forth with each other. My wife likes them too but she really likes bass and prefers her Skull Candy Crushers. I'm more of a rock person and think these sound better overall and are 1/4th of the price on sale.

Cons: Twist part of headphones can break if twisted the wrong way and aren't really labeled well to show you which way to twist.

Overall Review: I really like these headphones and while they were on sale were definitely worth buying. I actually came back on here to order a 2nd set but they were already sold out and rightfully so.

Sound great but terrible lag

Jbl Everest 700 Wireless Bluetooth Headphones Gray
Jbl Everest 700 Wireless Bluetooth Headphones Gray

Pros: Great sound Comfortable Long battery life

Cons: Terrible lag when watching video Randomly stops playing sound for about 5 seconds every 10 mins or so

Overall Review: If you just want them for music they aren't bad. The sound is great and they are comfortable to wear with long battery life. For video, I do have other bluetooth headphones that work great with video. They seem to be using A2DP which is known to have high latency instead of newer AptX. It also will randomly just stop playing sound for about 5 seconds every 10 mins or so. All of this is tested on multiple devices so it's not the source. This is pretty terrible for a newer headset that's supposed to run around $200 new. JBL support has also been pretty much worthless. When I called them, they told me they took down the JBL app in January and wouldn't be bringing it back anytime soon (which is untrue). When I emailed them, they repeated questions back to me that I had already answered then asked more questions. When I answered them they never responded with any additional info. Final thoughts, the refurbs are good for music for the money but if you want to watch video, find something else. Avantree makes a good headset for watching video for about the same price or cheaper than these refurbs but the sound isn't as full range. https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA7XD4JT4968&cm_re=avantree_bluetooth_headphones-_-9SIA7XD4JT4968-_-Product

Makes filing easy

Pros: The best part of using this software is you can import the previous year's info and most of your personal info as well greatly reducing the time needed to fill out the forms. This is more of staying with their software year after year. Includes free federal filing online

Cons: Even if made easier, it's still taxes... bleh

Overall Review: I do recommend this. It usually has a decent price on sale and easy to use in successive years because of the importing from previous years.

It's a cloth mask

Pros: It's a mask

Cons: It's not what it looks like. The filters are fake and it's basically just a cloth mask.

Overall Review: Overall, i'm not too upset with this. I didn't expect much but just be aware that the filter isn't real. It's essentially just a cloth mask made to look like a real one.

Used

Rosewill - FBM-01 Micro ATX Mini Tower Computer Case with Dual Fans
Rosewill - FBM-01 Micro ATX Mini Tower Computer Case with Dual Fans

Pros: I have bought 3 of these in the last year or so. The first 2 were great and other than some sharp metal edges I had 0 complaints and wouldn't have deducted an egg anyway due to the low price.

Cons: On my most recent order it had to be a used case. The shipping box was not damaged but the case had scratches and one of the front bay covers was broken. Additionally there were only 2 motherboard mounting screws included.

Overall Review: I really liked the case the first 2 times I bought it. It was a good little case for the money. But going by my most recent experience you should probably find something else.

Died after 5 months

Pros: Able to update BIOS over the internet from the BIOS.

Cons: Died after 5 months. Received RMA and sent it back and it's been weeks. Emailed their customer service to check status and 0 response.

Overall Review: I was fine with having to replace the board and do a RMA even though I've never had to do it with any of my MSI boards but then it's been weeks with no contact from the company even after emailing them to check the status.

Nice dual screen monitor arms

These are nice dual screen monitor arms. They hold both of my 27" Samsung monitors on them no problem. They also twist so I have one vertically mounted. The package came pretty beat up so I was a little concerned but it held up just fine.

Pretty nice chair but a little narrow

This is a nice chair and overall I'm happy with the purchase but for something that's supposed to be big and tall, it's really narrow on the thigh cushions and I sit on top of them as much as between them. Other than that, it's comfortable and very adjustable and seems to be plenty sturdy supporting my 315 lbs just fine.

They responded to the first couple emails but then stopped

I purchased some JBL Everest 700 headphones and the lag was absolutely terrible for video. I saw there were firmware updates for it but couldn't get the headphones to connect to update. I emailed over all of my trouble shooting steps and got a response that asked if I did multiple things that were already in my first email that I had done. They sent more questions which I answered and they never responded back.
