The item is a bright beautiful color with good range but the sound clarity is good but not loud enough to fill a room, entirely.

Foldable and well padded

First, excellent, excellent sound range. Extremely comfortable to wear for extended periods. The included bag and foldable headphones make these headphones a pleasure to carry and use.
A convenience control panel is integrated on the left earcup, consisting of controls to manage headset’s internal volume, microphone, and send play/stop, next, and previous commands to the smartphone. In case the battery is low or you are a cords person, an aux jack is available to use the headphones as normal non-wireless headphones, without using a Bluetooth connection.
The high-resolution headset wireless capabilities are powered by both Bluetooth and NFC wireless technology. The Bluetooth features the aptX technology which to me seems to improve the quality of the transmitted signal over Bluetooth by a huge extent.
The headphones yield a truly stunning music experience when used with my smartphone. The NFC technology makes it easy for the headphone's Bluetooth to connect automatically once it has recognized your smartphone as a friendly device. Tapping any device to the imprinted “N” on the left ear cup is enough to have your devices paired and ready.
The Rechargeable battery packed inside the headset has a theoretical standby life of 1000 hours. I can not attest to that but in my usage I have yet to run down the charge, I have used it for 3 days on and off without a need to recharge yet.
Some of the best features are the light weight, padding, comfort, foldable design, and finally the unparalleled sound quality is off the chart.

This is more than just a speaker - it's a journey. Starting from the very basic elements of sound and speakers, your children will build a deeper understanding as they move toward assembling their Speaker Cube. At every step, exploration is encouraged and curiosity is rewarded.

Fun, educational and stimulating.

So I grew up in a time when Radio Shack was a king, when kit computers like the Altair 8800 and PET Commodore were being drooled over, so I have a great fondness for electronic kits.
I gave this to my 11 year son and my 9 year old daughter to have at it. The kit includes all the parts, cut outs, decals, and cables less scissors, tape, and an IOS device, sorry no Android app available.
I gave this to my 11 year son and my 9 year old daughter to have at it. The kit includes all the parts, cut outs, decals, and cables less scissors, tape, and an IOS device, sorry no Android app available.
A word, make copies of the cut outs in case you have multiple children that might want to work independently, for mistakes and to just use again.
It was fun to see my kids use their iPhones/iPads and the chuckles I got as they did the various build projects and to see how upset they got when they looked back to their IOS device having gone to sleep.
But in any regard, other than the tiny clips and aligning the actual final speaker enclosure walls, the build projects with the IOS apps and videos were all easy to follow and learn many concepts that stimulated further learning.
I myself found the ideas interesting. My daughter did wish that the videos had a choice between female narrators and not just male narrators.
My children loved the speaker build, they loved going around taping the magnet and coil all over the house to get different sounds from different surfaces. They liked the final speaker but took it apart to have more "fun" experimenting with the magnet and coil assembly.
This is a very nice all inclusive kit but a bit pricey but in the end you do get a Bose quality final speaker.

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.

Adds weight but worth it.
on May 15, 2017
Posted by: redderr
from Queens, NY
To preface, I currently own a Surface Pro 3 with the MICROSOFT keyboard. I will say using the Microsoft keyboard leaves a lot to be desired in tactile feedback but on the plus is the minimal weight added to the overall Surface Pro.
But onto the review, while it is much thicker and heavier, I can live with both given the backlight keyboard (3 manual setting levels), the strength of the hinge setup and the ease of angle adjustment.
But the real kicker is now you have a full fledge laptop with a very high quality keyboard with great tactile feedback. The brydge is made of excellent materials and in my estimation is built for long term use and durability.
The only drawback other than the weight which is not that big of an issue is the Bluetooth interface which during initial power up has a little lag.
But the build quality, the tactile feedback, backlit keyboard, the powerful docking hinge, improved angle adjustment and ease of use makeup for the weight and minor Bluetooth lag

Wall mountable, easy setup, strong & stable wifi
on May 10, 2017
Posted by: redderr
from Queens, NY
I have had the router for two days. Setup was completed in under one hour and was facilitated by the lack of no additional firmware update was needed and by re-using my old router's wifi name and password. All my old devices and switches had no problem reconnecting to this new router.
The software for IOS and Android is very easy to use and allows for many adjustments. The wifi is very stable, the coverage is impressive covering all 3 floors of my house and my entire exterior and unattached garage.
The speed improvement is very good but I was coming from an EA9500...what is great is the router's speed of handling all my devices and making sure each device is connected to the most appropriate signal to achieve the best speed for the attached devices.
The smaller footprint from the EA9500 is greatly appreciated, the more powerful processor and the fact that I was able to mount it on a wall to reduce loss of desk space.
The unit is a keeper and handles all of our devices streaming needs with no issues, no drops, nothing.

Light, fast and easy to use.
on May 5, 2017
Posted by: redderr
from Queens, NY
I have been using this item for a week now and love the speed and time it has saved me. The weight is fairly light even with a full container of solution. I have mostly tiles and wood floors and cleaning with a mop and bucket was tedious and time consuming to say the least.
With a full container of the included solution, or your own like Murphy oil, or just plain hot water, I was able to do approximately 240 square feet of wood floors and tiles.
The kit comes with two sets of pads, a soft set that I used and a more rougher type pad that I doubt I will need to use. The pads do leave circle and streak marks but they disappear after the solutions your using dries.
I have used the pads several times in a row without washing when using just plain water or their included solution. When I used Murphy oil, I hand washed the pads before next use. The pads are thick and seem durable but another two pairs can be had for as little $20
The cleaner saves me time and pain of wringing out a mop and less back effort.

Compact, light and good volume
on April 20, 2017
Posted by: redderr
from Queens, NY
First I rate it Five stars using the purpose it was designed for, allowing one the ability to have "personal" sounds heard while still allowing you to hear sounds from your external environment.
The unit is very compact and light and stays put to wherever you attached it to on your clothing or even on purses, backpacks and so on. The sound is remarkable given its size and the controls are simple too The control buttons allow you like most music playing headphones to rewind, fast forward, replay or jump to next tracks.
The ability to hear your music or phone as you hike, jog or just walking is excellent without compromising your security by reducing your hearing to external sounds.
The only real drawback is battery life, at under three hours (I got a little over three hours from a combination of music playing and phone conversations) if you go on long hikes, walks, etc., that it is not easy to recharge quickly for prolonged use.
But I like the device for the ability as I said to listen to your tunes and phone while not having your ears' hearing ability reduced.

Does the job but very pricey
on March 23, 2017
Posted by: redderr
from Queens, NY
The install is simple and straight forward for the interior portion of the install. The exterior antenna takes a bit more time to set up and mount and had to wait for a relatively warm day as is still chilly in NYC. Make sure to try and set up the interior booster antenna where you gave the weakest point of reception if possible.
All said and done I currently have Verizon as my carrier and reception is so bad that I can terminate my contract at any point without any ETF due to the poor coverage. Another household member has T-Mobile and that coverage is better but not by much.
Verizon without the booster is -122dbm and for the T-Mobile without the booster is -100dbm.
With the booster and all antennas in place, Verizon went to -100dbm to as low as -82dbm
and T-Mobile went to -88dbm to as low as -68dbm.
and T-Mobile went to -88dbm to as low as -68dbm.
These are significant improvements, I get coverage all over the house and exterior of my house up to about 20-30 feet from my front or rear doors. I am impressed by the basement coverage. My house is a 1950's built house with lots of plaster and WIRE lath walls.
The improvement again is significant but the cost is very expensive but if you need it due to a lack of a home house wi-fi network then it is a good option.
I am sure the price will come down but for me all I can say is this product does the job.

Meet Spotlight. A game-changing presentation remote. Spotlight allows you to simply navigate slides and interact with on-screen content from up to 100 feet away. The customizable timer sends vibration alerts directly to hand – and the advanced pointer system allows you to highlight and magnify areas of focus in pixel-perfect detail.

Simple packaging and very easy and quick setup once you download the software. The pointer is extremely slim and lightweight...just what you need from a presentation pointer.
Being able to charge up in a little over a minute to get 3 hours of use with the included USB C cable is wonderful.
Being able to charge up in a little over a minute to get 3 hours of use with the included USB C cable is wonderful.
The pointer itself has very simplified interface, you have only three buttons at your disposal: a large "forward" in the middle; a smaller "back" arrow below it; and a third bullseye button that sits at the top of the slender wand.
Customization is what make this pointer so powerful in my opinion. The functionality of these buttons isn't fixed; you customize the actions they execute using the companion app. So, for example, where a quick press on the main button might move you on to the next slide, a longer hold can be set to launch the magnification feature; a raised hand gesture can trigger changes in volume.
A final neat touch is the haptic feedback, you can configure the Spotlight to vibrate at set times, which could be beneficial to pacing your presentation and your overall timing.
It's compatible with most of the presentation software you're likely to encounter including PowerPoint, Google Slides, Prezi and Apple Keynote.
I give it a solid 5 stars but the price needs to come down a bit for most users like myself to justify the premium price.

This has been the absolute worst electronic purchase ever! I am on my 3rd unit having 2 replacements sent to me from linksys as well as my 2nd range extender (the RE7000) that they have replaced as well. Invested 15-20 hours on the phone with foreign, yet pleasant enough, tech workers. I live in a square, 3,300 sf 2-story and cannot get consistent or far enough coverage. When paired with their extender to take advantage of the mumino technology, the internet fails to open at all on multiple devices, causing us to set up the extender under a different name and losing the purpose of why we bought in 1st place. After being refused to exchange into their new Velop product for all the problems, I ordered the Netgear Orbi yesterday and leaving the linksys brand forever ( I have purchased 9 routers from linksys in my lifetime for personal and rental homes ).
Beyond frustrated and out $500...

4 out of 5Great Robo Cleaner at a Good Price
By JBCTECH
I've been using robot vacuums for a few years and am a fan. The Samsung - POWERbot R7040 is my first experience with a next-generation model. There are great improvements in this one over my previous, 'bumper-car' versions: 1) Much better normal cleaning 2) option of a powerful turbo-cleaning mode 3) camera-aware movements which reduce the 'bumper-car' approach radically 4) options for manually controlling direction, spot cleaning, and repeat cleaning 5) an app that can control it from anywhere (and gives a diagram of where it went after a cycle) 6) a remote controller that can control it from anywhere in the home and manually direct it's path 7) a much more accessible, top-loading dirt collector that is easy to empty and clean.
It was very easy to set up and start in auto mode. For me, dialing in the added features took some time and trial and error. Better instructions on these features would be a big help. For instance, in manual mode, I would click the directional arrow and it would stop but not move in the desired direction. It took awhile to discover that it wasn't just a matter of clicking, but you have to click and hold the arrows in the direction you want it to go (duh). Once I discovered this, it worked very well (though the sensitivities of manually controlling it are best left for directing it into an adjoining room when you're in a hurry for it to find it's way there - and not in the mood to carry it). I'm also not yet clear on how well the Spot function works. This is too early of a review to address that.
All-in-all I'm very pleased with the way the POWERBot 7040 works. It is powerful, smart, simple and affordable!

Where is the map? The remote from anywhere?
June 17, 2017
In my use, the remote has about about a four foot range, even the manual verifies this.
I have used the app, where is the map of where it cleaned? I used the Android app.
The bumper car still lives in this unit, 4 foot by 30 foot hall, and my unit bounces off the side walls.
Manually controlling direction again limited by a four foot range of the remote.
