Ugh! Poor design and audio quality!

Verified Purchase:Yes
Note:I worked in broadcasting for many years and have some idea of what decent "cans" sound like.
These earphones are no better than $20-25 Sony or JVC. The fit is weird, the audio quality is kind of tinny and I can't understand why a company like Bose would offer such. I expect much better from them. Disappointed.

This is the modern day incarnation of a netbook, or so it seems. But it isn't. Many of the netbooks we knew may not have been rockets but they got the job done and sometimes were built like little tanks. Not with this Dell. Underpowered, a bit flimsy and even the touchpad cursor is tough to work with. Conversely my old Asus netbook was so good that despite its limitations I was able to use it as a substitute for more powerful laptops in many critical situations and it worked very well. Here this Dell coughs and struggles to accomplish basic tasks. You theoretically can use it to check E-mails and do light web surfing, etc., but bring something to drink while you wait. If it was at least equal to the old netbooks it replaced it would be a worthwhile buy. It may still be for some people but don't expect too much out of it.

Better than more expensive options

Verified Purchase:Yes
I had to buy a replacement for a suddenly deceased Samsung phone (which BTW had problems with the battery overheating) and had no time for deliberation. The Motorola was the best and most cost effective option. It took a bit of effort to get the unlocked phone working as it should (and T-Mobile where I got the SIM card was of more help than Best Buy) but it's been like the proverbial Timex watch ever since. Make sure to get the 16gb version, You could pay more and get a lot less.

Great in Minneapolis area but Best Buy isn't
on August 9, 2015

Verified Purchase:Yes
With this type of antenna it either works or doesn't -- not much in between. Set it up on kid's apartment window in Minneapolis and received ALL local stations perfectly. Tried to buy her another for bedroom TV but Best Buy does not stock it in many urban stores, notably Minneapolis, La Crosse, Eau Claire and Madison (all of which are "college towns"). Salesman at Best Buy Ridgedale tried to steer me to pricier products claiming they were "better" and had "more range" but in the case of Minneapolis area all the stations have their towers in the same Arden Hills location and the amplification for most would be unnecessary (and costly) overkill. (Note: I worked in broadcasting for many years with FCC license.) Strange how this is not stocked in places where it really could be used quite well.
