Decent upgrade from the gear s
on March 27, 2016
Posted by: Crasher
Verified Purchase:Yes
First off when buying this watch understand that its going to be a trade off. Determine if the trade off is worth it. I owned the gear s so this comparison is based off the two.
Pros- the screen and picture quality is crisp. The round bezel makes the watch faces look more like a real watch and less like a mini computer straped to your wrist. The processor is faster and allows updates and messages to run smoother. The heart rate monitor is also more effective and doesnt require you to stand completely still without movement. This is due to the watch having two HR sensors instead of one. I also like how it randomly takes my HR and lets me know where my levels are. The s health works better when linking up with your samsung mobile device. It keeps track of your daily activities and graphs them in a pie chart showing what percentage was spent walking, running, etc. You can now use a keyboard to reply to text messages instead of using preset messages. The mobile updates on the watch are also alot more descriptive. For example the old gear s would show who was texting you but would not show you the message unless you opened it up. Messages now show the persons picture, name and full message. The screen also has facial recognition so the screen doesnt come on everytime you move your wrist. It detects movement in combination with your eyes to determine when to turn the screen on. This is a big upgrade from the gear s which came on with every little movement you made. The battery life is about 3 days if used normally and docking the watch to recharge is a big step up from the piggyback setup on the gear s. Simply set it on the dock and walk away. There are no wires to connect to the watch its self.
Cons-
You can no longer make calls from your watch. The gear s allowed this and the call quality was not bad considering you were talking into a watch. There is also no camera lense on the watch which wasnt that big of a deal because the quality wasnt all that great to begin with on the gear s. One of the biggest disappointing features with the s2 is the watch lacks a sleep tracker. The gear s had a sleep tracker that detected movement and would tell you how long you were asleep and out of those hours how many of them you actually slept. This watch offers no sleep tracker at all and while there are apps you can download to help i have yet to find one that runs smoothly enough to be worth payment. The watch also seems to drop Bluetooth connection and go into stand alone mode quite a bit. Most of the time the s2 just needs to be reset. Hopefully future updates will fix this problem. The leather band that comes with the watch is cheap and wears out fast. Thankfully the band is easily interchangeable with many aftermarket bands and I've found that a stainless steel band looks the best with this watch. I was kinda on the fence about getting this watch and giving up my sleep tracker but at the end of the day im glad i did and have no regrets. No watch will be perfect but this watch is definitely a step in the right direction. At the end of the day outweigh the pros and the cons to determine if this watch is right for you.

perfect gaming headset

I bought the sony wireless headset and while the sound quality was good it was cheaply made and broke within months. This headset has better sound quality in my opinion and the battery life is outstanding. I went 4 days or about 16 hours before i needed a charge. Voice quality with the mic was very clear with no feedback. Its a turtle beach so you cant go wrong. Also this headset is definitely built with way better quality then most headsets.

great watch for first time smart watch buyers
on March 20, 2015

I read a bunch of reviews with both positive and negative feedbacks regarding the gear 2 and here's my review. First the good, battery life is decent. I always get a minimum of 3days of life before i have to recharge it. Of course this is all depending on how much you use it I.E. playing games and such. Charging is usually complete within an hour on a dead battery. Having the feature to ping your phone if you misplaced is also nice. There are countless customizations for the clock including design and background color or you can chose to put a photo as a background. Theres a sleep mode on the watch that works really well. When in sleep mode the screen is turned off and will monitor how long it was in sleep mode and how many of those hours you were actually asleep (motionless). The real time updates are a nice feature. Every morning i woke up it would tell me my travel time to work. And surprisingly enough it was fairly accurate. It went as far as to tell me if there were accidents on my route. Of course you have to be linked up to Google+ to use this feature. The watch has a built in speaker so you can make calls from your watch. At first i thought call quality would be garbage and that i would have to hold the watch to my mouth when talking and look like a weirdo but that was not the case. Call quality was actually very decent. I would be driving and have my hands on the steering wheel and i was understood clearly when talking. The price tag of $300 has alot of people on the fence. This is my take on the price. I love wearing watches and watches are not cheap in general. I own fossil and citizen watches and they generally cost $400 so buying a watch that did a whole lot more then tell time was a no brainer for me. The features are almost endless and would take to long to go through them all. Some of the downfalls of the watch that i noticed were for one poor picture quality from the camera. The only nice feature of the camera is any video or picture taken is automatically saved on your phone. Also the watch uses uses tizen for app management. What this means is you cant use Google app store to add apps to your phone. The apps samsung provides arent horrible but there not great either. I dont really find this a big issue seeing as how the phone does alot already. Everyone once and awhile it would crash and shut off but it would happen maybe once every 2 months or so. Not really that big of an issue. Over all this is a great buy no matter what your plans are. If your into working out this is perfect cause it tracks your heart rate,steps,and calories burned and stores it on your phone. It also allows you to scroll through your music without touching your phone. If your just an everyday go to work and come home kind of person then this is great for you too. With traffic updates to and from work. Sleep pattern analysis so this way you can adjust your sleeping for big meetings or projects you may have. And news and financial updates. This watch will adjust to whatever lifestyle you have. Its alot to take in so dont get discouraged or overwhelmed if you buy one. It takes a little bit to get used to. Also very important make sure you buy the warranty. I have owned my watch for 3months with no problems but remember its an electronic and with electronics there are never any guarantees.

I can’t use the Bose -noise-masking-sleepbuds-white to Make phone call.
No you can't . They were designed to deliver white noise only and that's it. You can not make phone calls or listen to music and this is all due to the very small design that Bose went with in order to provide comfort. They wanted to sacrifice multiple function capability in order to gain comfort which i think was a good move since these are designed as a sleep aid that you can sleep with and not a headphone set up.

Can you use these at work to drown out a loud talkative coworker?
ya i suppose you could especially since the noise cancellation is more geared towards cancelling out vocal sounds. Higher frequency will still enter but vocal sounds such as a co worker talking non stop should not be a problem at all.

Experience immersive Dolby Atmos sound through a single device with this Sony sound bar. It connects to your TV wirelessly or with an HDMI cable, and it pairs with Bluetooth devices for audio streaming. This Sony sound bar includes the Vertical Sound Engine, which eliminates the need for ceiling-mounted speakers.
If the product does support Dolby Atmos, why don't you list that in the description or specifications? Also, why doesnt it show up when I filter for Dolby Atmos sound bars? You should fix your site.
I think the reason being and may i be wrong but is due to the fact that it does support the Atmos surround sound but while it supports it in order to get a true Atmos sound you need a 7.1 set up and not a 2.1. The reason its not a key feature is because i think it would lead to a kind of false advertising. Its still listed under having Dolby Atmos because this set up allows for the add on of additional speakers allowing you to turn it in to a 7.1 set up therefore utilizing true Dolby Atmos. Hope this helps!

How much battery life is in one fool battery circle.
it is 24 hours however if you have all the lights on then its going to be less. I got about 18 hours of battery life with all my light bars and strobe lights turned on

Listen to your music wherever you're most comfortable with these Sennheiser RS 185 RF over-the-ear headphones, which offer a wireless range up to 328' that lets you move about freely. The ergonomic design ensures a comfortable fit.
I want to buy 2 sets of these and use them on separate televisions. Can they both be used at the same time or will they interfere with each other?
it will depend on how close the docks are to eachother. In all reality as long as there is some distance you should be ok. But keep in mind these are running on radio frequency that the tower produces so the possibility for interference will always be there.

Only at Best BuySet this Insignia portable ice maker on your counter, and ensure you have enough ice for your next party. With a 6-to-12-minute cycle time depending on the cube size you select, this ample ice maker makes up to 26 pounds of ice per day. The stainless steel exterior of this Insignia portable ice maker blends easily in your modern kitchen.
Purchased in June. Just recently cubes have been tasting plasticy. Looked online as to why. Some said to clean it with vinegar and water a couple cycles. It worked for maybe 2 batches then started tasting funny again. Anyone experiencing same thing?
So usually vinger/water mix does the trick. If your ice maker still taste likes plastic after then you may need to contact the manufacturer. The water lines are plastic and most likely what is going on is you have a defective water line. The bonding that seals it may be giving away.

how do you clean it?
You can clean it a couple different ways. One way is to pull the ice tray which can then be cleaned in the dishwasher. The actual ice maker itself cannot be submerged, it would have to be wiped down with a sponge and soap and water. Another way to clean that i find works best for me is filling the water tank with water mixed with vinger and lime and running the ice maker. This way it runs through all the water pipes and also cleans the ice tubes. Only down fall to this is you would have to run a couple cycles of clean water after to flush out the vinger/lime water mix or else your cubes may have a sour taste.

Track your heart rate, listen to music or talk hands-free on these JBL in-ear headphones. The ergonomic ear tips twist into your ear and stay in place with TwistLock technology without causing discomfort. These durable, sweat-proof JBL in-ear headphones have a battery life of up to 5 hours and come with a one-year MapMyFitness premium membership.
How would these headphones work for boxing ?
well if your just working out or sparing this will be perfect. The twist lock feature makes it so that you should be able to push yourself very hard without the worry of them falling out. Just keep in mind however that your cellphone or bluetooth device that you have it linked up to needs to either be on you or very close to you.

Listen to music on the go with these Sony wireless headphones. Their Bluetooth connectivity lets you stream music and take calls from compatible devices, and the built-in battery provides up to 9 hours of playback time on a single charge. Jam to your favorite tunes in comfort with the foldable, around-the-neck design of these Sony wireless headphones.
Are they retractable?
No they are not however the neckband is very flexible and not rigid so therefore it is not set at a fixed position.
