Necessary for Outside Use

Verified Purchase:Yes
I use my Arlo Pro's outside and these are a must. They offer sturdiness unmatched by the magnet mount included in the box and they are 100% more flexible. I like the black because I was putting it in a dark corner around dark wood. It helps blend in my camera (with a black silicone cover as well). These are a must for any Arlo Pro user who has their camera's outside.

Great sound and Fantastic Quality
on May 26, 2017
Posted by: callmeageeth
from Louisville, KY
These headphones are hands down the highest quality headphones I've ever come into contact with. I've always worn Bose and while they sound great in their own right and are quality products, they don't touch the design and machining of Master and Dynamics. It sounds silly, but I couldn't help but gawk at them when I pulled them out of the box. The materials are first class, including premium cowskin leather and braided cables. The 3.5mm audio cable has a long (almost too long) cable and included with the package is a nice quality travel bag (more on that in a second) and a nice circular box to hold the cable itself (although this box doesn't have much utility to me, it is a nice addition). The ear cushions are extremely nice and comfortable.
The sound quality is crisp and punchy. Vocals are extremely clear. I'm absolutely no audio guru, I'll just say they sound great. The bass doesn't punch like Beats or other brands, but that's okay for me. That's probably a function of the fact that these are on ears versus over ears cups.
I found these headphones to be comfortable during short sessions, but I did notice a pain in my ears after taking them off following a long flight. I think the headband is a little tight and I'm hoping it will "loosen" up after wearing it some more. But it wasn't bad enough that I wouldn't recommend these headphones.
The biggest drawback is that it's 2017 and it seems that every headphone maker is going to Bluetooth which these do not. This isn't a big deal to me because I only want Bluetooth headphones when working out and when I'm listening with these headphones I generally have my phone in my pocket. I also have some concerns with traveling with them. The aforementioned carry bag offers no protection from crushes, only scratches. These headphones don't fold up, I woudl describe them as folding flat. So I would be careful when traveling with them. For my old pair of Bose QC35, they came with a hard shell case that allow me to stuff them in my bad without worry. Maybe I could throw these in my bag and they'd be okay (I'm generally careful with my things) but I'm too concerned about damaging them given their price. This is just something to keep in mind depending on how often you travel and how you travel.
If you are looking for a high quality reference headphones to truly appreciate your music (it makes streaming music sound great, versus high quality audio files) then these are a great choice. They are impeccably made. Hands off to the audio engineers at Master and Dynamics.

Replace the keyboard of your Microsoft Surface Pro 7, 6, 5 or 4 with this silver Brydge keyboard. It conveniently lets you open the screen at your preferred viewing angle without a kickstand, and its backlit keys increase visibility in low light working environments. This Brydge keyboard is lightweight, so it doesn't add extra bulk to your device.

High Quality, Easy to Use
on May 21, 2017
Posted by: callmeageeth
from Louisville, KY
I wasn't looking for a new keyboard for my Surface Pro, but after seeing this I thought I would give it a try. I've used a Surface Book before, and loved it, but I liked the svelte size of the Surface Pro more. So I stuck with the completely serviceable, but flimsy in your lap keyboard.
When I saw the Brydge, my first concern was battery life. It's rated for 3 months, and I haven't had it that long the battery life is going great. All you do is fully charge it, turn it on, and connect it via Bluetooth.
When I turn the Surface on, I do have to turn the keyboard on (minor inconvenience) but it immediately connects from there.
Design and Use
This is a great looking keyboard. It is impeccable. And while it does seem heavy when you hold it by itself, it really isn't that heavy when you take into account what a normal laptop weighs.
it's got a nice layout with ample space, somehow seemingly more so than the normal Surface keyboard. i like the depth of the keys and it makes a satisfying click. The track pad is 1000% better than the Surface keyboard and is more substantial to boot. It is extremely accurate, I've had no issues thus far.
Hinge
The hinge is the biggest thing about it. It is really sturdy and the rubber "clamps" (although they're not clamps per se) hold the computer in place. So much so that you can hold the computer or keyboard by itself open and neither will move.
If you like to take the keyboard off the monitor frequently, you may not like it as it is difficult to wiggle on and off. But if you never really use the Surface as a tablet then don't worry about it.
Thickness
The Brydge keyboard is thicker than the Surface keyboard and makes the device (when attached and closed) a littler thicker and heavier than the Surface. Not a big deal to me, but if those things matter it's something to consider I'm also not a fan of the hinge sticking even further out making it thicker where the hinge exists. But this is something you can't get away from, design wise.

But this is something you can't get away from, design wise.
And I did have to stretch my neoprene sleeve to get my Surface and Brydge keyboard inside of it. So keep in mind of tight fitting Surface accessories that were made with the Surface keyboard in mind.
All-in-all,if you like the versatility of the Surface but prefer a more traditional clam shell typing experience, this is the premier way to accomplish that goal.

High Quality, Basic Sound
on May 21, 2017
Posted by: callmeageeth
from Louisville, KY
This a nice looking speaker that is impeccably made. I was drawn to the design (I like it) and the quality in which it was put together. I think it's nice looking and well made. I like that there are large buttons that you can't miss, and love the song forward and reverse buttons, which isn't always present in BT speakers (or is some combination of button presses you have to memorize).
I had some difficulties setting it up, my phone could see it, but I kept getting an error message. But eventually, it connected. And since then, I've had no issues.
Sound Quality
Pretty normal, nothing special. It gets plenty loud for my use (indoor and outdoor) but there's a distinct lack of bass. Which depending on the person may or may not matter. I'll say that you aren't buying this for the sound quality (and that doesn't mean it's bad quality).

Features
It has several nice features which quite honestly, are the reason you buy this thing. It's water proof. I can attest to it testing this feature in my bath tub. The music is muffled because obviously the sound is trying to pass few water. But it does float. It's like an iceberg though, most of the device is underwater. So if you dropped it in a river it may be tough to see depending on the conditions but that's a minor point.

So if you dropped it in a river it may be tough to see depending on the conditions but that's a minor point.
It has a dry box attached to the bottom of the speaker, which was exciting to me. I liked the idea that you could put a credit card, key, and your phone in a waterproof area so you didn't have to worry about losing multiple items. But alas, the dry box wasn't very big. it could maybe fit an iphone 4, but my Google Pixel in no case stood no chance.
It does have two USB ports for charging phones which I like. I haven't had the need yet, but it will be nice to charge your phone when need be. Note that when using these ports, you lose waterproofing.
The biggest flaw, and it my opinion, is a big one but not deal breaker, is the proprietary charger. In 2017, I like using either micro USB or USB-C to charge my devices. I like having one cord to charge them all. When taking this speaker out, you need to carry a separate charger which is a pain and something else to remember.
I haven't had a chance to fully test the battery life, but its rated 13 hours and I've been using it off and on for many days now and the battery indicator is still at full power.
One last comment, I do like the glow in the dark buttons. You're not likely to listen to music in the dark all the time, but it is nice to easily find the buttons when you do. Any time you pick the device up the lights on the buttons turn on which is a nice touch.

If you can get this on sale, it's a steal. The speed is great, it's not so small that you'll lose it (I know some companies tout how small their USB drives are, but I don't like them so small I can never find them).

Easy breezy setup, blazing speeds
on May 13, 2017
Posted by: callmeageeth
from Louisville, KY
When it comes to routers, Linksys has it figured out. Long gone are the days where you would have to plug an ethernet cord into your computer and manually adjust the settings. You plug this in, you download the app, and the setup is just fantastically simple. The router had to download a firmware update (which during the setup, is set to do automatically, which is nice) which took the bulk of the setup time (about 5 minutes) but then once that's done, I name the network and password and then voila!
I have about 25 smart devices in my home, from tablets, computers, game consoles, TVs, Chromecasts, lights, smoke detectors, etc. so I need a router that can handle a lot of devices. Given the number of devices I also run into issues where older devices run off 2.4Ghz bands, while my newer devices can take advantage of the speeds that come with 5 Ghz bands. This can be a pain for a router with multiple bands, as it makes it confusing and requires several networks in your house. The nice thing about thsi router (and maybe yo can do this with others, I don't know) is that there's an option during setup to name the three bands the same. So that way, you have one network when looking at any of your devices. This made it so much easier when I had to go through the arduous process of resetting my network settings for all of my devices.
I'm no router guru, but I pay for 100MBs of internet speed and this router allows me to actually get over that (about 105 MBs) according to Speedtest. Not sure about the accuracy, but I can say that I have yet to run into ANY buffering or lag on any devices. And we are a household where we can be downloading movies on a computer, streaming shows to two different TVs and someone is playing Xbox Live. Honestly, the speeds are worth it.
I don't have a big house so I never really had any issues with coverage, but I did walk down my street and I was able to get my WiFi on my phone (I don't need it, I was just checking) a few houses down. (which also makes me realize how important network security is.
In conclusion, if you're looking for a great router, simple setup and the foot print of the router itself isn't too big, this is a great option.
Last side note, I want to give Linksys props for getting rid of the big power brick plug. There's still a power brick, but at least it has a small AC plug running from it. Anyone who's ever had to manage a surge protector with a lot of devices knows what kind of convenience that is.

Great idea and price, but short battery life
on April 25, 2017
Posted by: callmeageeth
from Louisville, KY
I like listening to music when out in the yard but don't like headphones because they isolate all noise. I also like listening to music when riding bicycles and I think everyone knows that can be dangerous. So this little speaker seemed like a great idea. It is compact and the spring clip is strong, I've attached it to shirts and backpack straps and I've never once been concerned about losing it. The sound is surprisingly loud for the user. I've not asked anyone around me how loud it is, but it doesn't seem to be too invasive (like a larger speaker) but it is plenty loud for personal use. I've listened to audio books and podcasts and music and they all sound great. I also love that I have one less cable to worry about because you can plug this directly into a USB slot to charge (the cap comes off). I use a multi USB charger and the speaker isn't so big as to block off the other USB ports (like when you have a surge protector and one of the big charger bricks blocks other ports).
The biggest complaint is battery life. It really only lasts me about 2 hours even though it's rated for 3. So you need to keep it charged at all times after use. For my workout BT headphones I just charge them and know that I can use them for several workouts throughout the week without problems but that's not the case with the speaker. I charge it after each use.
The other minor issue are the lack of buttons. It's nice that it's simple and there's less buttons, but with only a plus and minus for the volume you have to remember a new set of commands. It hasn't been a big deal because I normally change songs through my phone and I typically have it on full blast, but if you're riding your bike and your phone is in your bag you have to remember to press the plus button 3 times. It becomes muscle memory but it was a bit tricky at first. And that minor complaint is no reason not to get it.
For only $30 it's a worthwhile investment even if you only use it a few times. I found it more useful than I initially thought. Clipping a small speaker onto your shirt collar and having podcasts on while cleaning the house (when my son is taking a nap especially) is nice.

Nice protection but tough to get on
on April 25, 2017
Posted by: callmeageeth
from Louisville, KY
Verified Purchase:Yes
I wanted this black skin not primarily because of shock protection (in the event of a fall) but because it's black. The placement of my camera outside against a dark background makes my camera stick out like a sore thumb. The black skin helps it blend easier into the background making it more difficult for a passerby to notice it. My only complaint is that it doesn't do an adequate job of "blacking" out the bottom of the camera and I found it difficult to get on. It is skin tight.

Essential Outdoor Accessory

If you use your Arlo Pro outside, this is a must. I don't mind the standard half globe magnet that comes with the Arlo indoors, but for some reason I don't trust them (plus you are more limited in the angles of your camera; depends on wall placement). This mount can be screwed into brick, wood, etc. and it has a much higher range in terms of your ability to position the camera on the mount. And the camera screws into the mount which at least gives me a sense of security that the camera won't fall off.

Take aerial shots with this GoPro Karma drone. Its Karma Stabilizer lets the included HERO5 Black action camera capture shake-free videos, while the Karma Grip provides reliable stabilization for handheld and mounted filming. The game-style controller with an integrated touch display makes Karma easy and fun to fly.Fly Responsibly:Before takeoff, update all software and firmware, and read the instructions thoroughly.See the FAA website for registration requirements and information about flying a drone safely: https://www.faa.gov/uas/getting_started/. Additional state or local requirements may apply. Check your local jurisdiction. The following websites may help you make informed decisions about flying your drone: www.knowbeforeyoufly.org and www.modelaircraft.org.
Just curious what the flight time experience has been like. Says 20 minutes with no payload; however, is the camera considered "payload"? Is it 20 minutes WITH the camera? Also, how close to 20 minutes is the "actual" flight time?
Given that the camera is required to fly I wouldn't think that the camera is considered payload. I've never tried to fly with any payload mostly because I haven't needed to and it doesn't seem equipped to hold anything (you would have to use some ingenuity to attach something to it). I can speak as to how long it flies without any payload but obviously with the camera. And in my use, it's been between 18-19 minutes of flight time. The very first time I flew it, it landed itself due to low battery around the 18 minutes mark, even though on the handheld controller, the screen said there was 2 minutes of flight time left. I haven't flown it enough while taking video/stills to determine how much that drains the battery. Hope that helps.

Does this have the cable to connect charger to computer? Is there a cord that connects camera directly to computer or wall charger for charging? I think we lost ours.
It comes with a mini-USB cable which you can plug into your computer (I wouldn't recommend because of slow charging) and a wall charger. The same mini-USB cable plugs directly into the camera itself
