Snug Baby Monitor



I received the Snug Baby Monitor through a promotion.

Product Info:
  • Wireless 
  • Audio & Motion Detection 
  • Works with SnugCam App 
  • Movable rotation by App or motion detection 
  • 2 way audio 
The Snug Baby Monitor has good instructions to help you set up the camera. The monitor is easy to set up with the router and powercord. It works with the SnugCam App, which can take more than 10 minutes to connect it. The ID and log in information is located on the bottom of the monitor.

Once the monitor is set up with the App, one can connect the monitor using wifi to make it wireless. Using the wireless setting makes the camera quality more pixelated and delayed. The better lighting in the room with the monitor, the better the video quality is. It's not HD quality video. This camera doesn't work for all types of wifi. It worked on mine, but it doesn't always load right away.

The App allows you to set up motion or audio detection with the monitor. This will cause the monitor to follow the motion or audio. The monitor will also save a video of what set off the detection. The video will be saved in the messages portion of the app. Any photos taken with the cam will also be saved on the app.

The app allows you to adjust lighting, contrast, audio, etc of the monitor. The app also allows you to talk through the monitor from your phone or device. The audio is slightly distorted or unclear.

The monitor is nice, but the app is a pain. The app is always running in the background on your phone, wasting data, ram, and battery life. Even when the monitor is turned off, the app is still running.

Pros:
- Motion/Audio detection
- Video rotation
- 2 way audio

Cons:
- App is always running
- App can be difficult to set up
- Doesn't work with all WIFI routers

FSL Xylem Headphones



I received the FSL Xylem Headphones through a promotion.

Product Info:
  • Made with natural wood housing
  • Silicone tips sizes: S, M, L
  • Comfortable
  • Integrated Microphone
When I received these headphones, I was impressed with the bag the headphones came with. The opening is a snap close. You pinch the edges towards each other to open the bag to get out the headphones. It keeps the headphones in very nicely, so you don't have to worry about the headphones getting lost or tangled. 

The wire of the headphones is made so it doesn't tangle. The wire is a thin, round wire. It's lightweight. On the downside, the jack to go into your device can be touchy. The first few times I tried putting the jack into my iTouch, the right earpiece wouldn't work. Nothing would play out of that ear. I had to try twice more to finally get it to work by taking the jack out and putting it back in. 

The wood chamber or housing of the headphones provide an excellent sound. The bass sounds amazing and deep. The sound quality for the price you pay is wonderful. 

The wood housing of the earphones does stick out a bit from the ear. These aren't the type of headphones I'd use while laying on my side, but for sitting up or laying on my back, they work great. The housing doesn't have marked if it's for the right or left ear though. 

Check out these headphones on Amazon.
