These #glise swim goggles are mirrored so they do a very good job of blocking out a lot of the sunlight and surface glare. They have a slight blue tint, but you get used to it. The swim cap is super comfortable and it doesn't pull hair with it. It is reinforced aroudn the edge so I don't have to worry about it tearing easily. The nose clip is rather comfortable and is your standard your nose clip. I was expecting the earplugs to be those cheap ones that all the other goggles come with, but these ones are actually the right size and very comfortable.

The swim goggles were very easy to adjust to the right size, and they stayed there. They are really comfortable and they don't obstruct any of your view as a swimmer. I used these goggles extensively over the course of 4 days since I got them, and they have yet to fog up. I am really happy with these swim goggles and would definitely recommend it for all of my swimming buddies.

Meterteck Digital Multimeter

I have used several brands and types of multimeters over my years as an engineer. It feels very cheap and pretty light. The leads are a bit shorter than what I am used to. And yes, it does include 2 sets of leads but I have yet to just need a replacement pair for any multimeter I have previously used. I wouldn't say it is accurate as some of the other ones I have used. I think the best you could use this for is determining the ends of a wire in a harness. After reading that this multimeter had no UL approval on it, I decided to check and can confirm that it has no "approval" rating from a trusted organization. I wouldn't recommend buying it on that fact alone because electricity is some pretty dangerous stuff. This works good enough for some of my lighter duty applications but nothing more than that.

Fishtown Diving Snorkels

I got this snorkel because I have a snorkel mask that came without a snorkel. I was really excited because this is supposed to be a dry snorkel. It proved very well that it is a dry top and functioned as such. I dove down to the bottom of several deep pools and it didn't leak a drop, It fits in the mouth really comfortable and doesn't require a strong biting force to keep it in place. It is much taller or longer than any previous snorkel I have used, and I like this because it allowed me to further submerge my head beneath the water. Overall, I am very satisfied with it, especially the colors and look.

ViewTV 65 Mile Indoor Digital TV Antenna

I was given a ViewTV 65 Mile Indoor Digital TV Antenna to review and criticize. The package was small, and I was blown away with how thin it was. It was paper thin, and actually kind of flimsy. The "stand" was a joke. I could not figure out for the life of me how to use it and I even asked my roommate. What made this antenna much worse was that were no instructions, not even in chinese! The powere adapter was a USB power adapter! Awkward and definitely a first for me! ... (guess I can use it in the car with the USB car charge I recently reviewed).


So when I plugged it in, I wasn't really expecting much. Low and behold, it gave me some of the channels I expected and the video/audio quality were actually very good. As far as the claimed range of 65 miles, that is debateable. I would have a hard time confirming that, but maybe if you were in Kansas or somewhere else almost perfectly flat, you could get that kind of range.

GMETAL-5 Dual Function Lantern Flashlight 500 lms

I have had many flashlights over the years.  Up until this #gmetal5 flashlight, I haven't really cared for LED lights because they just haven't had an advantage.  This flashlight was far from a disappoint.  It is by far the brightest, most compact flashlight that I have ever used!  Not only that, but the battery is rechargeable which saves the hassle of always having to replace the battery.  The flashlight has a metal finish on the outside, which makes it feel really nice.

My only thing that bothered me is the fact that there was no sticker or tab to remind you to pull out the tab on the battery.  There was something on the review page that saved me from filing for a return.

I strongly recommend this flashlight, especially if you want something super bright with a decent battery life!

You can purchase the flashlight here on Amazon:

Meago QC2.0 Rapid USB Car Charger Adapter

I ordered a USB car charger with the new quick charge Qualcomm Technology. It was kind of small and compact but that's the beauty of it. I used it on my Samsung galaxy S4 and used my roommate's Galaxy S7 as we were on a short road trip. It charged our phones very quickly compare to the other charger I have been using for several years.

My biggest complain about this car charger is the fact it glows green when there is power. Since I do a ton of night driving, especially in the winter, I like it when it is dark on the inside of the car so I can see ahead of me better. I even turn down the dashboard light to the lowest setting. This car charger has a very bright green light that is a bit distracting for the front 12V plug. Don't get me wrong, it looks sick, but it is very distracting. The picture on Amazon also doesn't look exactly like the actual received product.

Overall, I love this charger for it's quick charging time, but am disappointed with the bright light.

USTEK In-ear Wired Earphones S900 Black

I received a pair of USTEK S900 ear buds.  I absolutely loved the packaging.  It looked extremely high end with a foam interior to better display the headphones.  This sort of high-end packaging made me set my expectations for these headphones really high.

They were nice right out of the box with their brush metal finish on the ear buds.  The microphone is where the wires for the left and right ear meet and merge to one wire.  It looks nice, but it is rather far from the mouth area which makes it harder to hear, especially if this part of the headphones is worn under a shirt or sweater.  The wire is also a flat wire, which makes it harder to get tangled up.

The audio quality is actually pretty good, especially since the box was all in chinese and advertised "perfect ear," whatever that means.  It has a modern-standardized 3.5mm jack so it connects to almost all audio devices.

I received these earbuds for free in exchange for my honest review.
