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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

Challenge your gaming ability with the VR Worlds game included with this Sony PlayStation VR bundle.
 

Is the camera of this bundle the latest one? The ps4 camera? Or the ps3 camera?

Yes, the bundle comes with the newest model camera. The packaging and promotions for the PSVR actually show the older model (which as I understand, will still work). This camera is completely different than the PS3 version.

Bring the power of Google directly to your fingertips with the Google Pixel. A large 32GB of storage keep data secure, while unlimited cloud storage transfers data as needed, and it's completely automatic. The large 5-inch screen is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 4 to ensure the Google Pixel remains scratch-free.
 

It is an unlocked phone, so I assume it is compatible with SIM card from other countries - is that correct?

I can't confirrm that it will work sims from other countries (depends on bandwidths) but I can absolutely confirm that putting a T-Mobile sim into this phone will work. Sorry couldn't give you a better answer!

Charge 2 GoPro lithium-ion batteries simultaneously with this GoPro AHBBP-301 charger that reliably draws power from select USB chargers, USB-enabled computers or GoPro wall or vehicle chargers (not included), so you can keep your camera ready for use.
 

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

As long as your monitor has an HDMI port you can.*

NOTE: that is the simplest answer, you can, theoretically, buy a couple different adapters to make it work.

Double check your specific Android device. Most newer devices accept it, I believe this card was intended for Android devices, but again, I know some devices only accept up to 64 GB card
