PowerSpa 5-Setting Deluxe Showerhead



This review is of the PowerSpa 5-Setting Deluxe Showerhead in chrome. This is a great quality, low priced shower head that provides a nice shower experience. It has a curved bell design, 4" face, 5 different settings such as Rain, Massage, Mist, and in-betweens of these 3 (rain/massage, and rain/mist). It also features water saving economy raise and pause modes (Yay!). Installation is tool free and it has a limited lifetime warranty. It can be found and bought, here.



  • My Experience:
This shower head is great quality in all aspects. I have never installed a shower head and was a little worried about it, but it was very easy to install. The hardest part was unscrewing my old shower head since it was old and tight. The directions are straight to the point, simple, and quick. I also ran the shower to make sure there was no leakage and to see if it ran smoothly; it passed the tests.

The shower head looks great; It has a very modern, sleek design. It is not bulky or too small and the lever to adjust the setting is easy to reach and adjust. In addition to the looks, the shower head also feels great. The flow is very smooth, not too strong and not too gentle. I love the many different settings and the adjustability of this shower head. 


  • Settings:
-Mist: This setting is very refreshing, gentle, and perfectly misty. It is great for a hot summer day when you want to cool off, relax, and clean up.

-Massage: The massage setting is expectedly hard and is focused through the center of the shower head. It is also great for relaxation as it really does have a light massaging effect.

-Rain: The rain setting is my favorite. It is not too gentle, not too hard and the flow is perfect. It provides great coverage and reaches a good distance.

-In-betweens: The rain/mist setting is also very soothing as it provides coverage and a slight mist. The rain/massage setting provides another 2 in 1 as it includes a slight massage.

My fave setting, rain.

In conclusion, this shower head helps to provide a great shower experience and I am very satisfied with its performance. I received this item at a discount in exchange for my own, honest opinion.

AYL Wireless Headphones


 
These wireless headphones connect to your smartphone via Bluetooth to provide a great movable music listening experience. They are built lightweight and include a magnetic design, noise cancellation technology, and a built in microphone. They are also ideal for workouts as they are sweat proof and cordless. This item can be purchased, here.


  • My Experience:
I have been looking forward to a great new pair of wireless headphones, but these did not live up to my expectations. The design of these headphones is nice and very useful as the Bluetooth pairing is very easy and the headphones are somewhat lightweight. The buttons are easy to access and the overall design/look is nice.
 
-Fit:The fit is one of the main problems I have with these. At first, I had a hard time getting either of the earbuds to stay in my ear even after messing around with the different sizes. They wouldn’t stay in period. Soon I was able to some stability on the right ear while the left earbud tends to slip out after a couple of minutes or when I start to move around, and these issues still persist. Maybe I have a oddly shaped left ear? The “fall of proof silicon hook” feels completely useless to me, even on the right ear that does stay in. I wanted to use these for the gym but I feel that would not be a good idea as they fall out when I fold laundry. The overall fit, for me, is bad.

 
-Stability:The weight of these are light but not light enough as these feel a little unstable in regards to the weight. The earbuds have a slight weight to them due to the inner magnets and the right side has a slightly heavy control block that throws off the balance which may be the reason why I cannot keep them stable.

-Sound quality/Noise cancellation/Range: The sound quality is another issue that I have as it doesn’t reach my expectations. Sound quality is very important to me as it changes the entire music experience. I like clarity and great bass, which are aspects that these headphones lack. The volume is great but the quality is muffled. As for noise cancellation, these do a great job. They cancel out most noise that I usually get interrupted by when using other headphones. The range is also pretty good although I usually don’t need go too far from my phone, but when I do it helps. They also last a long time before the need to charge and they charge quickly.
 
-Overall: I’d rather use headphones that aren’t wireless with better quality. Samsung's earbuds are much better and cheaper and the Apple Earpods are about $10 more (or cheaper on some sites) and they are also much better. I am spoiled by great quality headphones as I own, Beats, Apple Earbuds & Samsung earbuds, but since these are describes are "premium" I expected them to be more comparable to the truly premium quality headphones that I mentioned above; these are borderline premium quality. These are decent wireless headphones, but I'll stick to my better quality, not wireless headphones on most occasions.
 
Despite the downsides, I am glad that I got to experience this item and I will definitely put them to some use. I received this item at a discount in exchange for my own, honest opinion.
