Best Cheap Headset

I don't like the fact that Xbox doesn't sell a wireless headset. But in terms of quality, this works when you need one in a pinch. Can go more expensive to get a better deal, but if you just need a spare or second headset, this is the best one for your buck (don't go cheaper).

Great Sound, Easy Install

Verified Purchase:Yes
I'm not a big fan of sound bars, I'm a stickler for true 5.1 surround sound with satelite speakers. However, with a small room, I gave this sound bar a try. It was on sale, so I didn't look at any reviews, but I took a chance and I'm pleased. It was super easy to install (hangs on my wall above my TV) and the wireless subwoofer was convenient as well. The sound really fills the room and is plenty loud with great detail. I can't say it's better than satelite speakers, but it sounds great nonetheless and you can't beat the convenience factor. And it looks good to boot. I personally like no speaker grills so you can see the cones/tweeters. My personal opinion, no matter what sound bar you go with, get a subwoofer. With the subwoofer unplugged, the sound isn't nearly as rich.

Great looking, easy to use

Verified Purchase:Yes
I have to be honest, I bought this because of the looks. And I liked the ability to change the temperature via Wi-Fi on the go. It has exceeded my expectations. Installation was a breeze (just make sure it's compatible with your HVAC) and took no more than 5 minutes. Using it is simple and intuitive, you turn it to make your selection and push it to choose.

Great Memory Card

There isn't much to say about memory cards, but I've had zero issues with this card; it sits in my Surface Pro 3 and acts like another hard drive, effectively doubling my storage. It is fast, as if it were another internal drive.

great game but complicated
on August 29, 2014

Verified Purchase:Yes
I long for the days of Madden 2004 when the controls were simple and the menus easy to navigate. I haven't kept up with the Madden franchise in recent years, but I decided to give it a try this year. I was satisfied with the quality of the gameplay in the graphics, but I find it way more difficult and confusing then it needs to be. I realize they are going for more realism but for the common player like me who doesn't have the time to devote countless hours learning and perfecting the craft it is difficult to pick up and just play. To me the game requires a lot of time and practice just to become proficient. I do however like the skills camp that allow you to learn how to play. All in all, if you want a football game this is your only option so this review feels pointless, but none the less it's always nice to know what you're getting yourself into

Essential Accessory

Verified Purchase:Yes
Not much to say, does what it purports to do. I use this for business when I need to transfer large files over our network (much faster than Wi-Fi). It works great. Only gripe, and it's an obvious one, (and again a limitation of the Surface itself) is that this item takes up the one precious USB port. But for me, I only use it to transfer files so I'm not necessarily USING the Surface when this is plugged in. Once file transfer is over, I take the network adapter out and have my USB port back.

Great little mouse
on August 7, 2014
Posted by: callmeageeth
from Louisville, KY
Verified Purchase:Yes
I thought the instructions were a bit lacking. Once you figure out how to use this mouse, it's dead simple, but I didn't think it was intuitive. There is no "on/off" switch, you just "snap" it flat or arched to turn it off and on. Had a few problems getting my first one to work (it was dead on arrival) and my Surface 3 had a problem connecting to it initially. But I've used it extensively since then, and it works great. It connects to the Surface immediately after turning the mouse on. Since the initial connect, haven't had one problem. I do worry about long term "snapping" and whether or not the device will hold up. But it works great and is pretty comfortable (better than the Surface Wedge Mouse in my opinion, which I use on my personal Surface 1 Pro)

Essential Accessory

Verified Purchase:Yes
This is an essential accessory for a Surface device. It is easy to type on, and it is backlit. The trackpad is much improved over previous iterations. I don't like the fact that the pen holder is essentially a sticker (the "loop" attaches as a sticker to the back of the keyboard) which worries me long term.
While I enjoy the typing experience, it doesn't beat a traditional keyboard because of its size, but that's expected. For its size, and what it is, it's phenomenal. Just wish it was included with the Surface

Great travel laptop
on June 23, 2014
Posted by: callmeageeth
from Louisville, KY
Verified Purchase:Yes
I feel like the Surface devices get a lot of flack. They're not iPads and they're not ultrabooks. They are in a category of their own. I use mine for traveling. I would not want to use it everyday, because my work requires two monitors and more screen real estate.
Having said that, I love this Surface 3. I also have a Surface Pro 1, and the Surface 3 is leaps and bounds better. The screen is bigger, the device is lighter and it is lightning quick. I love the stylus, I enjoy writing notes on it. The Windows App store is lacking, but improving. But you can install any Windows legacy program.
Is it difficult to type on your lap (this is assuming you have a type cover) yes. But it is doable in a pinch. To be honest, if I had an ultrabook, I don't like typing on my lap. I'm always looking for a sturdy table to work on, so I don't have gripes re lap use.
The battery life is much improved over Surface Pro 1 which was THE BIGGEST drawback. I can go all day while traveling.
All in all, I recommend this device if you want a light travel work device. It's too expensive to be just a media consumption device, but if you need a windows laptop, this is the best way to go.
Try it out before you buy and recognize this device for what it is. It's not a traditional laptop nor tablet. And stop comparing it to an iPad. Once you get past that, you'll realize it's truly an amazing device.

Meet the unrivaled, everyday noise canceling headphone for people who want to keep it simple. Hesh ANC is engineered with just the right amount of added features to make your life a little easier without a lot of additional technology that you might not need.
Do these headphones have a mute button and how long is the battery life if using for office calls?
I don't think there's a dedicated "mute" button on the headphones, I didn't find one, so it will need to be controlled from your phone. I never measured battery life for calls, but I've used them for calls (they sound good) and listened to hours of music over the course of a couple of weeks (of and on, not every single day) before having to recharge them. I feel pretty confident you could go a full day of calls without the battery dying.

Yes it prints immediately. I believe, but am not 100% certain, that if you have a microSD card inserted, it will save a digital copy of the picture you take (and print)

The 1000-peak-watt motor and preset programs chop veggies, shred cheese, and make smooth sauces and cookie dough from scratch—all at the touch of a button.
is there a storage container for the blades with this one or separate?
Unfortunately, there's no storage for the attachments which is a bummer. Obviously there's space in the container for one (where I keep the sharp chopping attachment) and I keep the shredding/slicing disc in a cardboard container that it came with for the packaging.

Use the Google Smart Light Starter Kit to control the lights using just your voice. Set up in a snap: just plug in Google Home Mini, screw in the GE C-Life smart light bulb, and download the Google Home app to get started. Then just say "Hey Google" to dim, brighten, turn on and turn off the lights."
Can I use this to turn off my lights while I am away from home? Also, do I get the starter kit and then multiple bulbs or do I need to get a box thing for each room? Thanks so much
Yes, you can turn off your lights from your phone (via Google Home app) when you are away from home. You don't need this starter kit per room unless you want multiple Google Home minis throughout your home (I have several) but obviously the number of smart bulbs (should you want them) will outweigh the number of Google Home minis you need. In other words, one Google Home mini could control all of the smart bulbs you have in your house. You would just need to be within earshot of that one mini when asking Google to turn lights on and off. For me, I keep one Google Home on each floor of my house

Does this ssd works on MacBook Pro
Yes, I installed it in my 2012 Macbook Pro. I would find a SATA cable, plug it in to your Macbook and clone your existing HDD, use a small Phllips Head screw driver to remove the bottom plate, unscrew the mounting bracket, insert the pegs from your old HDD to the new SSD using a torx screw (very small) and put the plate back on and that's it. Very simple and painless process

Does this remote work with Xbox one?
Yes, sort of, depending on what your asking. The remote itself doesn't control anything but commands to the Logitech Home. But yes, the Logitech Home does turn on my Xbox One S. I've controlled a Blu-Ray before but must admit I haven't tried to navigate the console menu.
