Excellent BT Headset - Perfect upgrade from an M90
on May 9, 2016
Posted by: cyclik
from Madison, WI
Verified Purchase:Yes
I had a Plantonics M90 BT headset which I used daily for about a year. No complaints with it except occasionally the person I was speaking with would have trouble hearing me. This was usually due to wind or some other background noise.
I like my BT small and don't like to use an ear loop. The Edge and M90 both use the same rubber gel ear insert with the option to clip on a thin, clear ear loop for added stability so it won't fall off (when you're doing something like running). I never use the ear loop and the Edge has no problem staying put regardless of its larger size. Don't get me wrong, it's not large at all and sometimes I even forget I have it in all day! The Edge is a bit larger than my old M90, but the sound & voice quality of both the BT speaker and my voice on the other end is phenomenal! I never hear that I can't be heard and I never have trouble hearing them.
The battery life of the Edge is shorter than the 11 hour 'talk time' battery life of the M90 by 5 hours with a total 'talk time' battery life of 6 hours.
HOWEVER, (and now for the cool part) the Edge comes with an awesome little protecting dock that doubles as a mobile charger. With the charge you can carry in your pocket plus the charge of the BT itself, you'll be able to get 16 hours of 'talk time' before you have to plug it in! The dock and the BT headset can both be charged using a standard MicroUSB cable and charges to 100% in no time at all. When the headset is docked the dock's mobile battery will charge the Edge and display the current charge level of the dock & the headset with little pinpoint LEDs. If the dock is plugged in while the Edge is connected the LEDs will light up and show the current power levels and first finish charging the headset, then charge itself.
Basically, you get this cool little case you're Edge snaps into that keeps it safe and charges the battery when it's in your pocket or on your desk. You'll never run out of battery in a day. I use mine all day every day and have never run out of juice!
There are MANY other features, but for the sake of not writing a full novel I'll only touch on a few of the ones which have really impressed me.
First, it can connect to multiple sources simultaneously. I have to connected to my iPad, iPhone, and PC. It will notify you (it's a female voice that speaks to you) which device it's connected to and when you go out of range of a connected device. It makes it very easy to use multiple devices without hassling with pairing & impairing all the time.
Another really cool feature is the on ear/off ear detection. So for example, you have your headset on your desk and your phone rings - you pick up the BT and put it in your ear with the phone still ringing. The Edge will know you just put it in your ear and announce who is calling by and and ask you if you would like to 'answer' or 'ignore'. Cool right? It also knows not to ring the headset if it's not in your ear so you don't have to mess up the beginning of a call switching audio sources while your caller is waiting.
Go to the Plantronics or Best Buy website or just stop at a Best Buy and check it out. There are a ton of other little things it does, but I'll leave something to suprise! If you want an awesome Bluetooth Headset, this is the one you want! I know it's a little pricey, but if you need one, just get it. This is something you could have in your ear all the time and is worth every penny.
Don't buy anything made by Jabra. I stopped using BT headsets for a couple years because I had several Jabra headsets and hated them. I thought all BT headsets were all alike and was done with them! Not until I found an M90 laying in a hallway and tried it did I realize how convenient and fun they can be. There are great BT and really, really terrible BT - this is a great one! Try it! Otherwise Best Buy rocks and you could always return/exchange it anyway, but you won't if you buy the Edge. Thanks for reading!

Great & Easy to Use Remote for ALL your devices!
on December 29, 2015
Posted by: cyclik
Verified Purchase:Yes
I owned a Harmony One remote previous to this one so I had familiarity with the overall configuration of Harmony remotes. If you have never owned one, there is a slight learning curve, but the new remotes have made it much easier to pick up than older models. If you have 3-6 remotes for your home entertainment setup this device is integral for convenient control. It also allows connectivity to your home automation system if you have a need. With the Harmony Hub the remote doesn't connect directly to your devices, but rather through the hub and then to your devices (through Bluetooth & wired IR blasters if you have them hooked up). The benefit to this is you need not point your remote at the device(s) you are controlling, making the experience more convenient. You can also control your Hub (and your devices) with the Harmony app on your tablet or smartphone. This is a very cool feature if you want to control your devices from a distance. Your mobile device can connect to the hub through the internet via the cloud making it possible to check the status of and control everything from anywhere.
If you want a quality device that looks as good at is works, look no further. Don't spend more money on the Elite remote either - it don't do anything more than this model. They just had to charge more for the newest version of the remote. In my opinion it doesn't look as good either and the touchscreen placement isn't as hand friendly.
I have owned Harmony remotes for almost 10 years and wouldn't ever go without one. The Harmony cloud saves all of your remote/device/activity settings so if you ever need to replace or upgrade your hardware your settings are seamlessly transferred to the new gear. Very cool.

Perfectly functional mobile mouse for my MBP.
on June 8, 2015
Posted by: cyclik
Verified Purchase:Yes
The first time I saw this mouse in a Best Buy store it caught my eye and prompted me to look closer. I was impressed by its incredibly small size and muti-gesture support. I later went online and did a bit of research into ultra-mobile mice for my new MBP that wouldn't take up much vertical space in my laptop's bag. This mouse is by far the thinnest one you can buy with this feature set. The black and white versions are the exact same thing, even though they say one is for Win and the other for OSX. It's just a market branding thing. I thought the black (Win) mouse looked better with my black/silver MBP and it works perfectly. The only gripe I have is that is it SO thin, that holding/using it for extended periods of time can take a little getting used to. It's not hard to use and works flawlessly, so don't let anything anyone says stop you from buying it. If you use it and decide that is isn't for you after all, just return it for an alternative. I think if you are looking for an ultra-portable bluetooth mouse that has muti-gesture support, this is what you want. It's not an at home, browsing and gaming into the wee hours mouse either... Just something to use on the go as an alternative to your trackpad. Although the new force touch trackpad on the latest MBP rivals any mouse I have ever used for about everything but gaming!
Bottom line: Try it! You will most likely love it unless you are using it in an application where a larger, desktop mouse could be used conveniently. You can't compare this to a desktop/gaming mouse. The complaints people have about it are because they are doing just that. This mouse has a very specific place, and when used in that place, it's perfect!

Worked well but a little tricky to get just right.

Posted by: cyclik
Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this kit to use with an aftermarket double din head unit I installed in my 2004 Pontiac Grand AM GT w/Monsoon. It worked quite well although it took a little finagling to get it just right because these kits are designed for multiple applications in many different vehicles. It worked though and the finished result is totally professional.
If you need this part for your install, just buy it. It's the one you need for a professionally done job!

The ONLY way to mount your Xbox One Kinect!
on May 4, 2015

Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this kit after having my Kinect sitting on my TV stand for over a year. My girlfriend set it up like that and I never thought to change it until I saw this setup. Now my Kinect is mounted beautifully atop my flat screen getting a much better vantage point in the room. It also isn't cluttering up the surface of my entertainment center anymore. It also comes with a sensor/camera blackout attachment that is nice if you ever want to just make sure that it can't see you ;-)
This will work with any flatscreen TV no matter how thick or thin. The way it's designed it is compatible with pretty much any flat panel TV out there.

Works perfectly & easy to install

Verified Purchase:Yes
I own a 2004 Pontiac Grand AM GT with a Monsoon Sound System. I wanted to install a new aftermarket double din head unit, so I used the AXXESS interface. It works perfectly with my car's factory equipment and retained all of the features I had with the original stereo. The wiring harness connects directly to the car's factory harness. The wires coming from the AXXESS interface are color coded to match easily with the wires for most aftermarket units making the install a breeze. It took me less than an hour to get it all wired in.
If this unit is compatible with your car, buy it. It will work perfectly and prevent a lot of stress involved with using cheaper alternatives.

Only @ Best BuyEasily pass in-wall home theater component cables through a wall using this Insignia™ NS-HZ311 plate that fits standard electrical boxes or can be mounted directly to a wall, allowing flexible placement.
 

can this be installed on dry wall. Or does it have to mount to a junction box? Are their drywall anchors?

I’ve installed a half dozen of these between my house and last apartment. I’ve compared them to many more expensive (and complicated) alternatives, and these have always been my choice.

No junction box needed, no cutting a massive square in your wall required, and not hard to install. They come with drywall anchors and mounting hardware. but to install them easily you’ll need a few things.

- Power drill (preferably) or Power screwdriver
- 1/2” bore bit (for the hole your wires will run through)
- Small sized drill bit (to drill pilot holes for your anchors)
- Hammer (to tap the anchors into the pilot holes)
- Screwdriver

You could also use a little jigsaw to cut a hole in the wall, but I’ve found that a bore bit is more controlled. You can use a bit slighter larger or smaller to fit your needs, but 1/2” has been a good general size for mounting a TV in my experience.

Your end result will look like this (see image)

It’s actually really easy - Good luck!

what causes the screen to freeze on the remote?

Battery voltage issues and damage to the connection between the screen and the mainboard. In other words it's usually due to a faulty battery or physical damage.
