A breathtaking adventure

The Legend of Zelda is the one video game series I've followed since it began with the NES. In fact, it's often what leads me to buy a new Nintendo console and thanks to Breath of the Wild I now have a Switch ;)
Breath of the Wild takes some of the best parts of Zelda (the story, characters, weapons, temples, side quests) and adds in some amazing new features (using stealth, enormous open world without restrictions, shrines, 'ancient' technology and enemies, runes [i.e. special powers], and new puzzles). The graphics are amazing and exploring the world of Hyrule never gets boring. There's always something new to find! The main story line is very compelling as well, leading you to many interesting places and challenges around Hyrule. Plus this game is seriously difficult. There are enemies that actually scare me when I see them, and fighting them is no small task. If you're unprepared you will not make it! Many of the shrines offer unique challenges as well, thanks to the features of the Switch and Link's new abilities like moving any metal object, or stopping time.
About three weeks in now, and I still have much to do in this game. I'll reach 100 hours of gameplay fairly soon and I don't think I'll be finished by then.
This is an amazing title and surely a new classic Zelda. It's addictive, it's gorgeous, and most of all it's really, really fun. It's well worth buying a Switch to enjoy this game.

Hardware is nice, but not fully developed

Google Home seems to be well designed: the microphone works well, and the touch sensitive volume control/lights on the top are quite unique. It usually hears your query and processes it quickly.
But it's missing features, and I was constantly hitting the 'Sorry, I can't do this yet' message. And that was with what I'd consider fairly basic queries like 'What movies are showing?' or 'What are the ratings for <movie>?' I mean, Google itself (and Siri) can answer these so I don't understand why Google Home choked.
I was also a little disappointed with some of the commands - I was unable to cast a video to my tv until I conformed exactly with the syntax Google Home required. It wasn't as intuitive as I wished it had been. You have to say 'Play <video> from <app name> to <Chrome Cast name>' and the order was critical.
Then there were also times it just flat out didn't work. The pause command (after casting a video to the tv) just stopped working after the first or second time and I couldn't figure out why. It heard the request and seemed to be carrying it out, but nothing happened. I double-checked the syntax several times and I was definitely saying it correctly. Casted music also seemed to just stop playing after a few tracks for no reason, even though I asked to play a genre from Google Music. Then there were times that Google Home would stop playing what I told it to cast, and continue playing something from an earlier request on its internal speaker. Weird.
I also had several times I'd ask to turn off/on the lights (with Phillips Hue), Google Home would say 'OK', but then nothing would happen. I haven't had this much trouble doing the same command through Siri (and also Siri supports way more Hue commands than Google Home).
So, despite the nice hardware and some features I did like (casting to Chrome Cast for one) I ended up returning it. It still seems half-baked to me.

Enjoy quality audio and cord-free comfort with the Plantronics BackBeat Go 3 wireless earbuds. The custom speakers deliver high-resolution sound, and the audio codec lets you experience every detail of the music. Compatible with most Bluetooth-enabled devices, the Plantronics BackBeat Go 3 wireless earbuds give you 6.5 hours of listening time, and the charging case provides an additional 13 hours.

Great upgrade to the BBGo2!

I've now owned all three BB Go in this series, and recently had to replace my BBGo2 since they went through the wash accidentally (surprisingly they still worked but the buttons were toast). These are a definite upgrade! The voice prompts are better, and the companion app may prove helpful for updates. The new charging case is great, and the charging indicator is greatly improved. Battery life has also improved.
As for sound of these, it's about the same as the BBGo2, which I find to be very good. It's very important that these fit snugly into your ears or you'll never get any bass response. Try out all the ear tips; if you can't get a good fit these might not be for you.
Definitely recommend these for the gym or for running. They're super light and sound great.

Upgraded from 1st gen, couldn't be happier
on January 6, 2014
Posted by: Recklys

How Often Used:3-5 times a week
Verified Purchase:Yes
So first off, for anyone who critiques the sound quality or the bass level, they haven't gotten the proper fit. With the wrong size earpiece, you won't hear any bass. It needs a good seal.
Once you get the right fit, you'll be impressed. I love the sound quality, they're absolutely perfect for the gym. Bluetooth headphones are the way to go, and these are especially lightweight and comfortable. Plus I love the voice features (telling you battery level, connection status) that were added in the 2nd generation.
The charging case is probably the coolest thing I've ever seen with a pair of headphones. It's a really nice case, for one, but it has a huge battery inside that lets you recharge your headphones multiple times without ever removing them from your gym bag. Such a great innovation.
Very happy with these, and they're a great value for the price. Definitely get the model with the charging case; it's only $20 more and is really handy (especially since my last pair stopped holding a charge -- the case could have saved me!).
Side note: get the protection plan with these! It's cheap and allowed me to return my original Backbeat Go headphones when they stopped holding a charge after a year. I upgraded to these AND got a $20 gift card for the difference (these were on sale)! Sweet deal.
