Best Headset I've Ever Experienced
on October 18, 2016

Verified Purchase:Yes
This headset is...how do I put it...AMAZING! With surround sound (with very high quality sound), wireless capabilities, fold-able mic, comfortable ear muffs (I don't know if that's what its actually called), noise cancelling abilities, programmable buttons, and the ability to receive audio from THREE different source simultaneously, I can't think of much more to ask for.
It is also comes with the Logitech Gaming Software which allows for complete customization of this headset, from macro buttons, to lighting options, to power options, and even a rather advanced equalizer for the built-in surround sound.
The thing that sold me the most about this headset is it's ability to be used with THREE sources at the same time. I always use my PC to communicate while gaming on my PS4 and this finally gave me a way to have all my communication and gaming sounds come from my headset...all without having a jumble of wires wrapped around me trying to connect all these devices together.
Battery life is very good on this device (in my opinion). It has about a max 7 hour battery life WHEN USED WIRELESSLY. It also has programmable power options to increase the battery life. Charging time is relatively quick (I don't have any numbers but I think about 1 hour for a full charge).

The sound quality and multitude of capabilities of this headset far exceeded anything I thought possible, especially from a wireless headset.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Exceeded my very high expectations!!

Long review for a great product (mostly because this is a very new product)...
So I was shopping around for a new router to replace my fully functional and satisfactory current router (Linksys E2500 N600 Dual-band Router). The main reason I was looking for a new router was mainly due to the increasing number of devices that are being connected simultaneously in my household. My price range was $200 and I was not really looking to exceed that. While in Best Buy, I was looking on Linksys' website to see what products they had available (and to price-match obviously) and saw some new products that really caught my eye. There were a few terms that caught my eye since I had never heard of or seen them before...MU-MIMO and tri-band. I am fairly tech savvy and also do my own home networking so these terms definitely piqued my interest. Doing some quick mobile research, I was convinced that these new advances in technology (dual-band to tri-band capacity, increased speed, and MU-MIMO [technology that greatly enhances the routers ability to handle multiple devices very efficiently at once]) were worth some money! It just so happened Linksys had this product at a small markdown to $250. Best part was, it wasn't even available on Amazon yet which was shocking to me.

Now on to performance. All those terms I mentioned above showed their performance, more so than I could have ever imagined! As mentioned before, my household has a lot of devices connected at the same time, and many of these devices are streaming devices. Some causes for my urge to buy a new router were noticeable increased latency when too many (2-3+) streaming devices were running at the same time. Another problem I had that always bugged me was my Chromecast and the lag time I experienced when casting my device (PC related only, mobile to Cast was always fine).
After installing the Linksys WRT3200ACM, I quickly had it put to the test. My parents were downstairs streaming a show on Roku, which alone used to slow down the network. I noticed no slow-down at all. Then while they were streaming, I decided to start streaming Netflix through my PS4. Still no decrease in WiFi performance. Then I loaded up Youtube on my PC and cast my SCREEN (which is significantly more heavy in network usage than just a tab) to my TV. WIth all this running at the same time, I noticed an almost unnoticeable lag from real-time to cast-time!
Taking into account that I had 16 devices connected to the router at the time (knowledge I gained after installing the Linksys Smart Wi-Fi App <--awesome), I would definitely say this router goes above and beyond and I don't know if I could put it through any reasonably realistic amount of stress that would cause this router to falter.

P.S. I also stream video games live via online services (Twitch, Youtube, etc.) which always uses a large amount of bandwidth. I was able to increase my streaming bitrate and also noticed a large decrease in broadcast lag time (about 2 seconds compared to a previous 12 seconds), while having 2 other streaming devices running at once.
THIS ROUTER HAS 10 THUMBS UP FROM ME! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED AND WORTH EVERY PENNY!

Awesome Product with Untapped Potential
on November 10, 2015
Posted by: byctrainer
Verified Purchase:Yes
As a personal trainer and fitness enthusiast, I've been waiting for a smart watch that has more functionality and capabilities than what is already out on the market and the Microsoft Band 2 definitely comes very close to meeting my needs. The simplistic design and functionality makes it very easy to use and I barely realize I'm wearing it half the time. As a workout tool, it is simply an awesome companion to have, keeping track of all the essentials. I find it hard to take off to let it charge sometimes!
The only thing that really gives this product a 4 instead of a 5 is its lack of (but up and coming) FULL functionality with non Windows phones as well as the lack of Apps currently available. This thing definitely gets the job done as a smartwatch fitness tracker but I feel with the hardware it has inside and the resources Microsoft has, it could be SO much more.
