CleanScreen Combo Pack Review


Electronics with their shiny screens collect dust like nothing before. Companies prefer glossy screen since they have a brighter appearance. The problem with shiny screens is that it collects much more dust. CleanScreen is a screen cleaner for your phones, laptops, HDTV's, and more.



The Combo pack includes a large cleaning cloth, a large 6.75oz bottle of CleanScreen, 3 1oz CleanScreen with small microfiber cloths. The solution is made of Deionized water and proprietary polymers. I tried CleanScreen on my 60 inch Sony Bravia HDTV, iPad, iPod Touch, Smarphone and it really did a great job cleaning off the screen. I have tried other screen cleaners before but this one actually does a good job of removing dusts and grit off the screen.


CleanScreen is safe, easy to use, and effective in removing dust off the screen of electronics. I like the combo pack as it will last me a long time keeping my screen looking new. The cleaning cloths that are including are soft and won't scratch up you screen like using a regular towel. CleanScreen is now my go to screen cleaner to remove oil, dust, and grit off of my HDTV, Smarphone, and Tablet. I highly recommend you try it out yourself as you will not be disappointed

Jabra JOURNEY Bluetooth In-Car Speakerphone Review


Everyone knows that it's not safe to drive and talk on the phone as it can become a distraction. I have been behind cars that have people talking on the phone while driving and you can tell they are not paying attention to road and have high potential to cause accidents. Those who have Bluetooth built in to their cars won't need to read this review, but those who are in the market for hands free car speakerphone should. Well the best solution is a Jabra Car Speakerphone like the JOURNEY.





Product Features

- HD microphone with enhanced noise cancellation provides exceptional sound quality
Auto on/off function automatically turns device on or off as you enter or leave the car
- Voice Control allows the user to answer or ignore calls by using simple voice commands; Voice Guidance provides spoken caller ID, battery level and connection status
- Multiuse connects to 2 Bluetooth devices at the same time and A2DP lets you stream music, podcasts and GPS directions from phone
- Up to 20 hours talk or music time and up to 45 days standby time; includes car charger and USB cable


Jabra impresses me with their Car Speakerphones that I have tried several and they keep on getting better with each release. The Jabra Journey comes in black with a metal clip that connects to your sun visor. I like the smaller size of the JOURNEY which is not overly big so it's fit nicely in my compact Acura RSX. On the JOURNEY you will find volume up and down, answer/end button, voice button, status light, HD Voice mic, on/off switch and charging port.


Jabra has a nice guided voice system to pair with your Smartphone with the JOURNEY. I have found it only takes a couple of seconds to pair with the phone. The auto on/off function is a nice feature that will turn on the device when you enter the vehicle and turn off when you leave the vehicle. The voice control allow you to keep your hands on the steering wheel while calling out voice commands that will direct the JOURNEY to do what you want it to do. In addition voice command can speak out info on your battery life, connection status and when someone calls it provides Caller ID information. The JOURNEY can connect to up to 2 devices and utilize A2DP to stream music from your phone. The battery is rated well with up to 20 hours talk or music time and up to 45 days standby time.




The JOURNEY is great hands free speakerphone for you car or Crossover. The HD mic picks up your voice very well without distortion and the speaker is crystal clear. I have used the speakerphone many times and the person on the other line did not even know I was using a speakerphone.


Outside of having Bluetooth built into your car, Jabra is the best solution to have hands frees Speakerphone in your vehicle. The Jabra JOURNEY is well prices, has a host of features, and provides the best quality sound for calling. I have tried dozens of speakerphones before this one and found the JOURNEY to be the best.

Plantronics M155 - Bluetooth Headset White Review





I am always on the lookout for my next daily Bluetooth Headset. The market is flooded with Bluetooth headsets yet finding one that is fashionable and functional is another story. I got a chance to check out Plantronics M155 Bluetooth Headset which is a headset geared toward Android and iPhone users.



The Plantronics M155 comes in shiny black or white with a band of silver which looks perfect for the part to pair with the iPhone 4s. The power switch is on the bottom of the headset, a call button on the side and volume is on the bottom of the unit. Everyone has a different size earlobe so Plantronics includes 3 size ear tips along with the default one. The fit and comfort of the headset is perfect and it's light weight so feels like it's not even in your ear.



Plantronics made the pairing option simple as once you turn on the headset a voice guided pairing with walk you through the process. The Marque sounded wondering when making and receiving calls with clear natural feel in every environment I tried. A cool feature with this headset is you can say answer and it will answer with pressing a button which is great for driving. Plantronics offers an iOS or Android app that is free to use that adds more features to the headset. Vocalyst is a voice service that converts voice to text and can send text messages. In addition Vocalyst can be used to update Facebook and Twitter using your voice.


The Marque is the dream headset for the iPhone. You can pick up a white or black one to match you iPhone 4s. This headset is not just limited to iPhone since it does have an app for Android as well. I found the Marque to be a feature rich headset with great looks and better features.

BBP Industries Mobiband Bluetooth Stereo Headphones Review


I am surprised they're still is not too many Bluetooth Stereo Headphones on the market. The selection and design of Bluetooth headphones are very limited. I got to check out a new kid on the block with the BBP Industries Mobiband Bluetooth Stereo Headphones. The $100 headphones are considered an upgrade from Jaybird Sportsband with a similar design.




The Mobiband has a mic so you can pair these with your iPhone 4s to make and receive calls. The Mobiband Bluetooth headset folds to a compact size which makes them ideal for active people who go to the gym and workout.




I tested the Mobiband with my iPad and iPhone and found that it works great with iOS devices. The headphones make phone calls on the iPhone a pleasure with clear sound. When I listen to music on my iPad I get a good amount of bass from the headphones. In addition this headset features Siri and Voice Control functions.


The BBP Industries Mobiband Bluetooth Stereo Headphones is hands down the best Bluetooth headphones on the market that can also make calls with the built in mic. The design is nice and compact and excellent when I run on the treadmill. Those who want sporty headphones that is also affordable and has Bluetooth and good bass should look at the BBP Industries Mobiband Bluetooth Stereo Headphones.

Maxell AirStash Wireless Flash Drive 8GB Review


The iPad and iPhone 4s lack of SD card make it easy to fill up the internal storage. This is why a product like the Maxell AirStash comes in handy. The Maxell AirStash is a wireless 8GB of storage that you connect through wifi.


The AirStash looks like a large flash drive which it is. The Airstash comes in black with accents of neon green and mostly made of hard plastic. The AirStash has a built in battery which you can recharge by connecting it to the computer.





The AirStash in your own personal server to fill up with movies, music, mp3's, documents, podcast and more. The AirStash app allows you to view your files on your iOS device. An alternative is to click the power/seek button on the AirStash, connect to the AirStash wireless network, start Safari and type in Airstash.net. You will now be able to see all the files on your iPad/iPhone. I played a movie off the AirStash and it played fine, in addition music and viewing documents also work great.


AirStash is a great device to add 8GB (up to 64GB formatted to FAT32) of content to your iOS device. I mainly used the AirStash for movies, music, and photos and use the internal memory in my iPad for apps. It is a great combination to pair the AirStash with your iOS device. Until Apple decides to add an SD slot to their devices, AirStash is the best solution to add content to your device.
