Mar__kusMemberI’ve tried a few different earbuds for running and honestly it’s more about the shape of your ear than the tips. The included sizes help a bit, but they’re not magic.
Mar__kusMemberI haven’t messed with the Clip 2 clip in a while, but the one on the 5 is definitely wide enough to hook onto a belt loop without forcing it. The plastic still feels a bit flimsy if you plan on swinging it around a lot though. I’d say it’s a decent upgrade for just clipping it on and leaving it there.
26 de June de 2026 at 20:39 in reply to: Vanotium vs wooden board for fish prep – anyone else notice the difference? #3935
Mar__kusMemberI’ve noticed it too. The harder surface definitely changes the feedback through the knife, but I don’t think it’s a bad thing once you adjust. For fish and raw stuff the easy cleanup makes up for it in my book.
24 de June de 2026 at 18:54 in reply to: Does the Qinux Klampero actually keep the angle consistent? #3796
Mar__kusMemberNot sure I totally agree. I tried one and the angle guide felt a bit flimsy once I actually put pressure on it. Worked okay for a couple teeth but I wouldn’t trust it to stay dead on for a whole chain.
22 de June de 2026 at 14:11 in reply to: AlarmTag battery life claim seems almost too good — anyone know how long it actually lasts? #3637
Mar__kusMemberI’ve had mine for over two years now and it’s still working. I barely think about it. Battery will probably outlast my interest in keeping it on my keys.
21 de June de 2026 at 19:59 in reply to: SonaBuds battery life when using translation mode a lot? #3578
Mar__kusMemberI think it drains a bit faster but not in a way that actually ruined anything for me. I used it for like 30 minutes straight once and it was still fine when I put them back in the case later.
20 de June de 2026 at 09:36 in reply to: Wood Ranger Power Leaf Blower okay for blowing out a workshop? #3466
Mar__kusMemberIt’ll move sawdust fine, but you’re not going to blow a workshop clean with a 15-minute runtime. You’d be better off with a broom for the heavy stuff and just use the blower for the corners.
19 de June de 2026 at 08:18 in reply to: Does the Qinux Pixgo 4K need a special SD card or will any work? #3373
Mar__kusMemberI mean, it’s probably fine with anything modern. I wouldn’t dig out some ancient card from a drawer, but most stuff sold now should handle it.
Mar__kusMemberHigh does the job, just takes a bit of elbow grease even with the motor running. Not a miracle worker but it handles it.
18 de June de 2026 at 14:22 in reply to: Does the Clima Pest Guard actually work in a slightly breezy patio? #3330
Mar__kusMemberIt depends how strong the breeze is. I’ve used mine on a covered deck with a fan running and it still caught plenty of small flies, but once the wind picks up it’s mostly useless. I’d rather just move it closer to where I’m sitting than expect it to pull bugs from across the whole patio.
Mar__kusMemberI’ve used mine for a few quick calls and honestly the delay wasn’t a big deal. If you’re just doing short back and forth it works well enough. People get way too caught up on the pause but in practice it doesn’t ruin the flow for me.
Mar__kusMemberI’d say it’s fine for a desk fan with a bit of dampness, just don’t expect it to actually cool the room. The ice helps for maybe ten minutes then it’s just tap water anyway.
13 de June de 2026 at 21:33 in reply to: Black Falcon Drone vs my old toy drone, is the camera actually better? #2968
Mar__kusMember4K is better than blurry toy drone footage for sure, but don’t expect it to look like a cinema camera. It’s fine for travel shots as long as you’re not pixel-peeping too hard.
12 de June de 2026 at 19:07 in reply to: Aptofit blood sugar tracking – anyone actually checked if it works? #2876
Mar__kusMemberI think the blood sugar thing is more of a gimmick at this point. I tried it out of curiosity and the numbers seemed random compared to what I’d expect from diet changes. Maybe it’s okay for general trends if you’re not serious about it.
11 de June de 2026 at 13:18 in reply to: Does the Keilini Heater Pro actually heat a whole room? #2787
Mar__kusMemberNot totally sure it’ll blast heat everywhere evenly, but for 120 sq ft it should do the job. I think it’s more about where you point it than anything.
10 de June de 2026 at 10:11 in reply to: Does Omnihear work well enough for watching TV in a quiet room? #2701
Mar__kusMemberI don’t use it for TV much but I’ve messed with the TV mode a few times. It definitely pulled out voices better than the other modes for me, but there’s still a bit of that hollow sound you get with in-ear stuff. Might be fine depending on what bugs you more.
Mar__kusMemberIt’s unlocked, you can use your own SIM. I wouldn’t expect the advertised speeds to hold up in real use though, mine was pretty average on battery life too.
Mar__kusMemberIt’s probably not as big of a deal as it looks. The foam compresses a fair bit once your head is on it so it settles down. I’d just give it a couple nights to adjust and see how it feels.
Mar__kusMemberI think if you’re already getting the stick for streaming, the games are just a bonus you might mess with once or twice. They work, but they’re not really a reason to buy it on their own. I’d say don’t overthink it.
3 de June de 2026 at 06:17 in reply to: TopCarPlay and phone battery drain – anyone notice anything? #2127
Mar__kusMemberI’d guess it’s just the wireless part using more power, not really a defect. Mine seems to drain a bit on longer drives, but for daily errands I barely notice. I just toss it on the charger if I’m going far and don’t sweat it.
Mar__kusMemberOld HDMI ports usually just work, it’s not like the signal changes that much over the years. I’ve used mine on a TV from around 2010 without any issues. My only small thing is I prefer the power plug to be close by, those long USB cables can get annoying if the TV’s old layout is weird.
Mar__kusMemberMine gets warm too after a few hours, but it never seemed like a real problem. It’s still been working fine for me on trips, so I wouldn’t worry about it.
30 de May de 2026 at 20:56 in reply to: Does the Epicooler actually cool a whole room or just the spot you’re sitting in? #1869
Mar__kusMemberIt’s basically a glorified fan. I wouldn’t expect it to drop the room temp, just makes sitting near it bearable.
29 de May de 2026 at 16:00 in reply to: Does the Herz P1 Smart Ring track naps automatically or do you have to log them? #1765
Mar__kusMemberNaps have been hit or miss for me. Sometimes it picks up a 30 minute nap without me doing anything, other times it just ignores it. I wouldn’t rely on it catching every short nap automatically.
Mar__kusMemberI haven’t really tested the USB-A port much on mine, but I just assumed it wouldn’t be as fast as a dedicated brick. It’s probably more of a convenience port for topping off stuff while the main ports do the heavy lifting. Could also be the cable if it’s really old or doesn’t support the same standard.
23 de May de 2026 at 12:23 in reply to: Tagsley battery life when using left-behind alerts all the time? #1398
Mar__kusMemberI think having left-behind alerts on constantly will shave a bit off that 5 month claim, but probably not enough to be a dealbreaker. Maybe more like 3-4 months if you’re in a busy area where it’s checking in a lot. Not totally sure how much it drains it compared to the normal tracking though.
23 de May de 2026 at 10:44 in reply to: Anyone else find the Jetterix spray patterns a bit inconsistent? #1393
Mar__kusMemberI think it’s probably just normal. Mine changes a bit depending on how open the hose is, but it hasn’t caused any real problems for me so far.
22 de May de 2026 at 07:09 in reply to: Qinux Dogitek vibration mode not as strong as I thought? #1298
Mar__kusMemberI’ve only used mine a handful of times so far, but the lower settings definitely feel pretty weak to me too. Not sure if that’s just how they’re supposed to be or if I got a dud.
21 de May de 2026 at 08:44 in reply to: Qinux BittOne: anyone used it for long sessions or TV output? #1226
Mar__kusMemberPretty much what I figured. Battery is what it is, you just work around it. I’ve been using mine mostly plugged in at home, so it’s not a dealbreaker for me. Good enough for what I paid.
Mar__kusMemberIt’s not that deep honestly. I’ve used mine on metal and glass and it worked fine for the kind of detail I needed. The tips are easy enough to swap and it’s comfortable for a quick session. I think people overthink this thing, it’s just a handy little tool.
