Jaybird Vista Wireless Earbuds @ LanOC Reviews
|
 Okay, I’ve been a little late to the party on in-ear Bluetooth earbuds. I own a stack of higher-end wired earbuds and I have been sticking with them for a while now. I’m sure I’m not the only one being a little stubborn both because of the money invested, but also because wired performance has been a lot better. Well I recently took a look at a pair of wireless earbuds to use when out mowing and I liked them. But they haven’t really overtaken the wired performance yet, so I am still on the lookout for a set to wow me. Especially now that my own phone no longer has a wired headphone jack. Jaybird is a Logitech brand and as much as it pains me to even bring up, but with the holidays coming up they were showing off some of their products and the Jaybird Vista caught my eye. Today I’m going to check them out and see if they can finally replace my wired earbuds for good. They might even potentially make a good open for those of you shopping over the holidays, but lets reserve that for after I’ve tested them.

1st Player Steampunk PS-750SP 750 W
|
|
The Steampunk PS-750SP performs decently overall, despite the strange name. Efficiency is good, and the warranty is generous at seven years. Priced around $90 we take a closer look to see if it can challenge the offerings from EVGA, Seasonic and Corsair.

EwinRacing Flash XL Gaming Chair
|
|
About two years back we did a review on a product that wasn't quite the standard fare for Bigbruin.com; a PC gaming chair. The original review was on the Flash Series ergonomic office chair from EWinRacing.com. Recently they reached out to us and asked us to take a look at another one of their chairs; the Flash XL. The XL series is specifically made for, well, let's just say larger frames. It is designed to hold up to 550 pounds and people up to 7 feet tall.

Nano Torch Twist Magnetic Swivel LED Flashlight
|
|
KeySmart's Nano Torch Twist magnetic swivel LED flashlight is really a well made, reliable flashlight that does what you expect, plus a bit more. The various lighting modes are a nice touch, but the swivel head and magnetic base really make this a valuable tool to have. This will save me a good deal of frustration just in the amount of time I spend under my hood or completely under the car. Even away from the cars it is very handy.

OnLogic Karbon 700: Passively-Cooled, Up To 8 Core
|
|
"OnLogic (formerly known as Logic Supply until a recent
rebranding) announced the Karbon 700 back in August as a durable
Linux-friendly computer largely intended for industrial applications but
nothing prevents the user from using it as a passively, well-built
desktop PC either. OnLogic recently sent over the Karbon 700 and it's
been working out very well even with passively cooling an Intel Xeon
eight-core / sixteen-thread processor, 16GB of RAM, 512GB NVMe storage,
and more."

XFX RX 5700 XT THICC III Ultra.
|
|
"Let us talk about XFX THICC III Ultra as a whole. I think just from the benchmark data, the RX 5700 XT is indeed a worthy card to keep an eye on for that next build or upgrade. It will not win in every category, but it is a solid video card in a very good place to compete with NVIDIA's RTX 2060 and 2070 series."
