the different colors are very nice but mostly i like the ability to automatically turn the lights on and off based upon my coming and going / time of day, etc. Works exactly as advertised. I plan to add bulbs soon to expand the coolness.

Cool Keyboard

I bought this for my son who plays overwatch for his birthday and he absolutely loves it. The different lighting is very cool but I think he likes the feel of the keyboard even more. It is like typing on an old electric typewriter and makes it very easy to type. A little expensive for a keyboard but the boy absolutely loved it!

This item is used to hold a smart phone onto a tripod. Works exactly as described but best if you remove your phone case before mounting.

You've searched castle after castle for the princess, slid through too-many-to-count number of pipes, ridden Yoshi on thrilling adventures and tossed fireballs, flown, stood still like a statue and swam underwater. You've completed every level, found every warp world, battled with Bowser every time. You know the iconic levels so well, you can complete them with your eyes closed. Well, not any more.Get ready for the most creative, exciting and challenging Super Mario game to date with Super Mario Maker. Design, create and play your own levels on your Wii U GamePad, and then explore those levels created by Nintendo and players from around the world. Use your GamePad's touch screen to add enemies, blocks, pipes and more. Combine enemies, traps and items into unexpected twists to break conventions and add unique challenges. Choose from four distinct themes, such as Super Mario Bros., Super Mario Bros. 3, Super Mario World and New Super Mario Bros. U, each with unique art styles and features. Drop in the Mystery Mushroom item to transform into different characters at random, and unlock additional characters by completing 100 Mario Challenge mode or tapping in compatible amiibo figures. Are you ready to speed through courses in record fashion, battle Piranha Plant-shooting cannons, boost your abilities with powerup-tossing Lakitus and take on the Hammer Bros. riding on Bowser while bouncing on trampolines? Better yet, do all that, and then show off your own ideas.

I purchased this for my 15 year old but found that it was probably better suited for my 8 year old. Seems like a very creative game but make sure you consider the age.

Bought this for my son and i don't think he has put it down. He had the earlier version but not the XL. Loves this device, especially for Super Smash. Got it out of the box and found a pixel on the screen was already out. Returned it same day and they replaced the unit no problem.

It was difficult to find one of these in the store but once I did, I bought it. The blade cover came off on the first use and I returned it and was able to find another unit at a different store. since then, I have been very careful with it and it seems to be working fine. time will tell on that though. As far as the closeness of the shave, it works well and doesn't cut my skin. I would recommend but caution that you handle it carefully.

With the Wii U console, the possibilities are endless.Get messy with Splatoon, a fun-filled third-person action shooter that challenges you to cover levels, and enemies, with a brilliant spray of colorful ink.

Earn high-powered super weapons by soaking your turf in ink, so you can cover your enemies in color or spray more territory.

Our old Wii finally stopped working so we purchased this unit that is bundled with the new Splatoon game. The kids like the game but we haven't figured out how to have multi-player yet. Still working on that part.

Players, start your engines. It's time to once again get on the racing circuit and compete against characters from the Mushroom Kingdom that you know and love. For the first time on the Nintendo Wii U console, you get to experience the racing action that has been a fan favorite for years, with a few added features to keep things interesting. So buckle up, push the pedal to the floor and get ready to turn this classic racing experience upside down.With new racing circuits, new gameplay features and a stunning new look, Mario Kart 8 certainly lives up to the legacy. The new anti-gravity feature will have you suddenly finding yourself racing on walls in a haunted mansion or upside-down over Princess Peach's castle — not to worry, the wheels on your kart will automatically rotate and shift into antigravity gear for an awesome racing element that allows mind-blowing new circuit designs. The previous games in the Mario Kart franchise introduced some amazing features, so they're back for more in Mario Kart 8. You can still see who's got what it takes in 12-player online competitive play. Hang gliders and motorbikes are back, as well as underwater racing and mid-air tricks, while Waluigi and Toadette rejoin the cast of characters. As the icing on the cake, the crisp, high-definition graphics and 60-frames-per-second frame rate of your Nintendo Wii U ensure a visually stunning and vibrant gameplay experience that you won't soon forget.

What is the difference between the Qc 15's model and the Qc 25's model ? I currently own the Qc 15 model
This is the upgraded model. Not sure it would be worth the investment to upgrade.

Can these headphones be used wirelessly?

The specs say that it doesn't have a built-in bluetooth. Does that mean it can't be connected wirelessly or is that something else. And does this work with samsung products like the galaxy s5.
No, they do not have a wireless function. The cord can be removed and you can use the voice canceling feature but you would not be able to hear the audio.

I like to have noise cancelling headphones when I am on a plane, but find them to be too much if I used them at work. I am wondering if it is possible to turn off the noise cancelling to only use it when I want.
Yes, it has a switch on the right head phone that allows you to turn it on and off.
