Excellent audio, POOR durability
on April 29, 2017

Verified Purchase:Yes
This are my favorite headphones, but they fail very quickly. The section where you connect them (3.5mm side) is very delicate and seems to lose proper connection inside. If you're in a rush, do not stick the earbud in your ear too fast as the air can burst the speaker. Overall they do not die from other issues except for the one I have mentioned. The longest I have had a pair last for me is a little over a year. All of the rest have failed, and since I always put the GeekSquad protection plan on them, I have to get them replaced.

Better than buying disposables

These will cost less over time than constantly purchasing disposable batteries. Although they have limited life, it will take a while for them to begin to lose performance.

Great for my Xbox One S

Although it gets slightly warmer than a Seagate HDD, it's performance is perfect for me. If your wondering how to use it on the Xbox One, simply make sure that the storage system is deleted and left completely UNALLOCATED (you can delete the filesystem with Windows) and connect to the Xbox One, which will now detect it.

I love this keyboard! I purchased it on 03/05 and didn't have to finally charge it until 04/02! It's range is phenomenal and the backlight is perfect. I was also amazed to see that the keyboard also had an button to set the backlight one more step brighter, which was a huge plus! For those​ concerned at fact that it mentions "TV", yes this keyboard can be used on your computer and many other devices as well.

Great controller, but it is quite heavy
on April 2, 2017
Posted by: Cross
from Bronx, N.Y.
Verified Purchase:Yes
The controller for the most part is great I love the smooth handling of the analog sticks thanks to the fact that the strut to the actual thumb pad is metal and does not scrape and wear with the circular space of the stick, but it gets tiring to hold this thing after extended periods of gameplay (depending on how you hold the controller). The paddles take a bit of getting used to, and at times I found myself accidentally pressing them while playing and pressing other buttons. While you can remove them or shut them down instead, there is not a quick way to switch them on or off except for double tapping the sync button.

You've received your assignment, hustled into a helicopter and skillfully maneuvered into the murky abyss of a mysterious land — with one deadly mission on your mind. You slip and sneak through dangerous territory. You spot an enemy in the distance and raise your rifle as you aim with precision. With a nearly silent pop he drops lifelessly from view, as you press on, planting explosives to carve your way through secured fortresses, removing classified information and leaving only a trail of smoke in your wake. Welcome to a new kind of war. Tomorrow, the government will deny that your operation ever occurred. Your location will be obscured. Your alibi will be written. The war will be erased from history. But today, you bask in the glory of a perfect kill.Venture into five diverse maps that span the globe, including four multiplayer maps and a new zombie experience with the exclusive First Strike Content Pack. From the close-quarters combat of the Berlin Wall map to a trap-filled, Cold War era cosmodrome full of perk-stealing zombie monkeys and Soviet zombies, this First Strike Content Pack adds exciting, all-new gameplay to Call of Duty: Black Ops. Descend into the explosive combat with force and all-new technologies to destroy the enemy, including new Killstreaks like Napalm Strikes, a remote-controlled explosive device and controllable helicopters. A deadlier mission than ever requires the most intensive Combat Training yet — hone your tactics offline against A.I. bots in both Free-For-All and Team Deathmatch modes and earn COD Points to purchase equipment, attachments, perks and new customization options. Further test your nerves and weapon skills in point-gambling Wager Matches, and celebrate each epic kill in Theater Mode. You are being summoned — do you have the courage to answer a grave new Call of Duty?

While there is a slight bit of input lag on the Xbox One, the game is fully playable without bugs which some backwards compatible games have. DLCs also work flawlessly. I didn't expect Best Buy to have it, but I found it while browsing around.

Absolute must have for Windows 10

from Bronx, N.Y.
Verified Purchase:Yes
While many on PC tell you to that you need a mouse and keyboard, there are many games that are better enjoyed with a controller (Assassin's Creed, Fallout, etc). This device is a must! It has a much further wireless distance than the Xbox One and was very simple to get it going. Just plug in, pair and play. For those wondering if the Xbox One controller will work with older games that used Xbox 360 controllers, the answer is a yes for many older titles I tested (GTA IV, Call Of Duty Black Ops 1, Fallout 3 and New Vegas, etc). Some will allow audio via the headphone jack with a headset, some will not. Best part is, I can now seamlessly talk to my Xbox friends via the Xbox app on Windows 10.

Did not meet my expectations
on October 8, 2016
Posted by: Cross
from Bronx, N.Y.
Verified Purchase:Yes
I thought that this would be an upgrade over the EX6200, but it is plagued with some of the same issues as it, such as very frequent drops in connection with all lights flashing. Some wireless computers will refuse to connect to it, and if they do, they are unable to access the web due to issues obtaining the IP Address. This is the same issue I had with the EX6200 after updating the firmware in hopes that it's connection drops would end, but thankfully it can be downgraded. Unfortunately, this EX7000 uses the latest firmware type. It does however drop about 10% less frequently than the EX6200 and the range is slightly better. If you want less problems, the EX6200 (Version 1) is a better choice.

Do these work not just for headphones but as a microphone for the Xbox one?

Yes, but due to their durability and the way it will have to withstand constant movement, it may be best to look elsewhere at a dedicated headset, such as the basic TurtleBeach headset for the Xbox One or PS4. The Skull Candy Ink'd 2 audio quality is excellent for the Xbox One controller, you can hear footsteps in Rainbow Six Siege very clearly, but for mic, you have to manually mute it from the Xbox One. It's a 50/50 situation. If you do go with these, buy the 2 year GeekSquad protection plan. If you would like the Turtle Beach headset:

can you take the antennas off and screw on rp sma cable for external antenna

For the most part, yes, but some antennas are compatible, some aren't and there is no way of being able to tell beforehand if they will work properly or not, or if there will be any actual gain.

Can use two of these in your house without any problems?

For the most part, yes, but Google has an extender solution for multiple extenders called "Google WiFi" (search the SKU number "5706130" on Best Buy's website). If you are going to connect MANY devices, I suggest you use a home router that supports MU-MIMO (not an extender, your actual router first).

I have a router furnished by AT&T Uverse on one end of my house, will this receive the signal from that, and then can I attach all of the components on my Home Theater system to this VIA hardwire, some of my components don't have Wi-Fi??

If that router provides a signal like a regular WiFi router, then yes. For sheer fun, I have tried the extender with my smartphone's tethering and it works perfectly.

Can this router be use for spectrum. We bought a time warner netgear and it has to be unplug all the time. I guess we need a new one. But we want to by one and not rent one from spectrum.

This is an extender, it will only extend your existing connection. If your current router gives you issues, then it may be your router itself (ISP's are known to provide faulty ones). If the issue with your disconnecting stops when you are close to the router, then it may be a signal issue and the extender may help. Use a RELIABLE device to test for this. Smartphones are unreliable. Laptops are more reliable at keeping a connection.

CAN YOU SET UP A SEPERATE PASSWORD FOR THE EXTENDER THAT IS DIFFERENT THEN THE PASSWORD USED FOR THE ORIGINAL CONNECTION?

Absolutely. You can even set a different password type. If your WiFi router has no password, can set one for the extender anyway.

Is this cable the same as a" hdmi micro connector TYPE D" ? That's what my camera a coolpix s9900 calls for! Thanks Gorilla

If I am not mistaking, yes. Type D is Micro, Type C Mini, Type A would be the standard big one (PS4, TV, etc) and Type B I have yet to see.

Will this fit my galaxy s7?

No, this is only for devices with a Micro HDMI port, not a Micro USB port. What you need is an MHL cable which can be found in the Samsung section within Best Buy. To be sure, ask a rep there if your device supports it (it should).
