Simple Answer: Yes I like the sound and comfort that these in-ear headphones offer. Simple!
Big Answer: Starting off with the unboxing experience it's what you expect. Smallest box you've seen filled with little plastic bags that contain everything you need. One gripe here is the charging cable is sssoooo tiny! Comes with 3 wings of different sizes and 3 ear cup sizes. I was fortunate that the first wing and ear cup size attached was perfect for me. Hope it is for you.
Sound is great with a good amount of bass and volume level. Another gripe I have which I hope they fix is that you can't use the JBL Headphones app to customize the sound. Hopefully they add it in the future since it supports the older version of these headphones but I thought that was a miss on the JBL team. Last thing is battery life. I tend to fall asleep listening to music, which these headphones make easy to do since they are so light, but I can usually get almost 15 hours on one charge.
Do I think these headphones are worth it. Yes
If you get these I think you will be surprised what a low cost Bluetooth headphones can do. Especially on volume and bass which usually sucks on the cheaper/value stuff.

Good, Bad and it's a really nice looking laptop

Simple Answer: Yes I like this laptop and is it worth it's price....it depends.
When I first got this laptop the unboxing experience was pretty much the same you see in all laptops. First thing that surprised me was the fact that it uses USB-C for charging. One thing you should know is that it is a special laptop USB-C charger so don't think that getting any USB-C charger will give you the same charge as the one presented in the box.
Once you get the unit out of the box it is gorgeous. Simplistic design for sure but that isn't always a bad thing a premium aluminum build. The next thing you'll notice is that screen which even though it's only 1080p it is almost bezel less. Which in this case is a good and a bad thing because since it is bezel that means the camera has to be next to the keyboard which is not a place I would have preferred. The last thing when it comes to design is it has no real ports. The price you play for something that is small and lightweight sadly.
Now it's time for performance and this does perform well playing a few online games that are very demanding I felt this breezed through it which I was surprised since it doesn't have any real high end graphics card. The keyboard is buttery smooth and I've purchased laptops for winning ergonomic keyboard awards in the past and I definitely love typing on this keyboard more. Yup using it now to write this review. If you are like me and you weren't sure about having the 2-1 computer scenario I will say this it's a nice addition which has now become my daily driver when it comes to Netflix or basic internet surfing.
Final thoughts on this laptop are if you are looking for a small compact laptop as your daily driver for work and for play. Yes I would recommend this unit. The unit is blazing fast and build with premium materials. If your looking for gaming laptop, I will say I'm surprised but yeah it performed really well in my testing with a okay graphics card. The only thing I wish is the price was a little more reasonable but with fun features like the fingerprint scanner it's not too unreasonable when you compare to other on the market.
I enjoy this laptop and I think you will too. Thanks for reading my review and I hope it helped.

Simple Review: It's compact enough and works on everything. How could you go wrong here.
Extended Review: Starting off the with the unboxing experience pretty straight forward cardboard, plastic and the smaller charging cables you tend not to use.
Once you get past that you look at the unit itself and first thing I noticed was the dongle itself. The reason I focused on this first is I tend to not use a dongle mouse on the go because I have a fear of breaking it off for some reason or another. This one though is so small it feel like it's part of the computer, which for someone like me it's a perfect fit. The big test I gave this mouse was a little computer game I play that makes me click on anything + everything like crazy! This mouse kept up, never felt it lagging behind and just like it advertises it works on every surface I tried. especially glass....Felt like I had to test it with how many times it said INCLUDING GLASS lol.
The only thing that I didn't get working, keep in mind I didn't try too hard, was the Logitech Options flow thing. I give points to Logitech for being creative and pushing the boundaries on what I consider a normal mouse to do. The process itself didn't work on the first or second try so maybe a little better to do guide with that would have been warranted.
Otherwise this unit is amazing and is now my daily driver as I have to travel a lot. Easy recommendation for the man/woman on the go.
Thanks for reading my review.

For the simple side of my review do I enjoy this unit.... yes!
For the more complex review lets start with the unboxing. I got this package in the mail and I was almost certain I got the wrong item. Reason why it is so small I mean like maybe slightly bigger than my phone small. slip it in my pocket small and box easily reflects that. Now as much as was excited about having a small router, which to me means more room on my computer desk, I was also very worried. I was worried because in my mind bigger was better and everytime you go to the store to look at routers the bigger they are the better they perform, right?
Which moves us onto performance. I did my first few speed tests, which keep in mind I pay for 120mpbs, and this got me at 220+ mpbs no matter where I was in my home. My house is small at 1500sq feet which is the recommended size for this router so if you need more buy two of them. Simply though speeds are great and can't complain there.
My problem with this unit is that it's not polished in a couple regards. To start I am also someone who uses a smart doorbell product and I noticed that once I switched routers and reconnected this unit to it.... I got no feed and no more recordings. After being on the phone with the company of my video doorbell product and Samsung itself we found the issue but were unable to resolve it. The doorbell system needs port forwarding around the firewall that this Samsung Connect Home Pro has. Okay not a problem right just fix it... well no It has the ability to port forward but not able to set a series of ports. The example here would be if I needed to port forward between 16000-32000 TCP/UDP Which means if I need to port forward that many ports I'd have to do them....one at a time..... I'm not going to by the way. I did talk to Samsung and they did say they consider that a huge flaw and said expect an update soon to fix it but another person told me it would be months before they fix it. Guess I have no video doorbell service for a month.
Now you know the good and the bad. There is no ugly because this this is beautiful in my setup. My recommendation is buy this it's about time routers got small and keep their quality. Samsung and companies like it are changing the game and I'm glad I get to enjoy it.
P.S. Samsung if you could put a feature in the Samsung Connect App that allows your to turn off the one tiny little green light in the front than your unit would be perfect. After you fix the Port forwarding thing of course.
Thank you for reading my review.

For those looking for a simple answer to the question "Do I think this is worth $X amount of dollars?"
No or not at this time.
In depth answer is no and yes. Starting off the open box experience starts off good. The box is heavier than you expect, think similar weight as a full fledge stand up vacuum. Once you pop it out of the box you can see Samsung put a lot of care into the packaging and wanted to make sure everything arrived safely.
Once you get the unit out and set it up for me is when the pro's and Con's become clear. First, the setup process is easy enough, hook up the charger into a wall and give it plenty of space. Then start the app to sync it up. I was a little heart broken when I noticed my Samsung Connect App on my new S8+ said this wasn't compatible yet..... which they are both so new so I won't hold a grudge on Samsung for this.
After you sync it up with Samsung Smart Home it's ready to go and simple enough. Which actually leads to one problem I didn't like the app seemed weirdly to simple. What I mean by this is I was hoping the unit would show me what it maps out. It doesn't which is unfortunate because the maybe 30 minutes of run time leaves you wanting more since it takes 30 minutes to get out of my kitchen and that's if it actually gets out of my kitchen. Do keep in mind my house is 1500 sq ft so not terribly big but if your home is bigger you might need a flock of these things everywhere to make them worth it.
Now the points I will give it is that when it does get to the dirt or my carpet it does very very good. Getting up stuff I can't even see until I'm tossing it away. I have no problem with suction on this unit but finding the dirt is hard for it. Last thing that drove me to a 3 star rating was the fact that when it finished and I would reach down to get the container to clean it out..... It had someone shot quite a bit of the container all over itself so I would have to clean the bot every single time.
Simply robot vacuums could be the future but we might need to wait a bit longer for the better ones to come around or fork over double or triple the cost to get one that meets your normal vacuuming needs.
Hope this helps

This router as all routers has it's pro's and con's but I will tell you my opinion on them and let you decide.
Starting at the unboxing experience you feel like your opening up a high end router. No strings are pulled here and no cardboard wasted. The first thing you will notice though and this lines up with the con side is that the router is HUGE! The router it came from was much smaller but it did not perform like this one does.
In my home I pay for internet speeds of 100mbs and with my old router I would get upwards of 130 maybe 150 if it was a good day. Which made me love that router but this router destroyed that! From the moment I plugged it in and set it up which was the standard go to this website kind of deal. It pushed out 260mbs which for lack of a better word blew my mind. I also tested the coverage and I do have a smaller home of 1800 sq ft but even when I drive away from my house I can usually get 4 - 5 houses over before my internet connection disconnects.
Simply put if you want the best, THIS IS THE BEST!
I also like that it has a simple white Linksys logo that doesn't illuminate crazy bright unlike most routers I've used where it looks like the circus is in town.

It's a big router so you will need to make room for it but you will get the best internet connection you've ever had. Buy this!

This Oral-B Pro 6000 electric toothbrush with Bluetooth allows the brush to connect with your smartphone to give you real-time feedback on your brushing habits. The advanced design of the CrossAction toothbrush head surrounds each tooth with bristles angled at 16 degrees, and 3D cleaning action oscillates, rotates, and pulsates to break up and remove more plaque. The pressure sensor lights up, if you brush too hard to prevent harmful over-brushing and there are 5 modes and a timer to help you brush for a dentist-recommended time.
Posted by: AverageConsumer
I want to start off saying I was disappointed with the unboxing experience and the contents of that box. Not saying that it's important but when you get a expense tooth brush you expect a little more in my opinion. When you open the box you see it's designed as a throw away like a prepaid phone box and comes with the bare essentials. One tooth brush head which means I will need to buy more heads to share this with my girl a charger with a plastic clip on to house up to four tooth brush heads and than finally a very cheap hard plastic case to hold it the brush when you go on trips.
At this moment I'm left thinking of other high end tooth brushes that gave a wireless charging cup or simply put extras for the same price or close. Though this is where the review begins to change and earns that five stars. The brush cleans better than ANY OTHER BRUSH I'VE EVER USED! It's also somehow more satisfying to use with the way the brush spins in comparison to a brush it replaced that I use to love. It's simple easy to use and gives you recommendations on how to brush better and how long you should brush. Simply setting guard rails for anyone who may be doing it wrong. Me in particular it was letting me know that I sometimes brush to hard and it makes it easy to curve me away from that by glowing red where I can see it easily on the handle of the brush.
Simply put ladies and gentleman this is hands down the best toothbrush I've ever had and I have spent on the higher end of the spectrum to make sure that I get that great smile we all want. This is something that I not only recommend to adults but for children since it has that learning aspect and it's much easier to brush with one of these than the standard hand cranked tooth brush.
BUY THIS! You can't go wrong!

Keep your SoundLink Revolve or Revolve+ Bluetooth speaker charged and ready to go, with the SoundLink Revolve charging dock. It’s a convenient home base for your speaker, and you can play your music while it charges. Just plug the wall charger included with your speaker into the cradle. Available in Black.
Posted by: AverageConsumer
Simply.... It's a great wireless charger with a very satisfying click when you turn the speaker on it's surface with only one small gripe that seems to happen a lot. No extra cable provided by Bose.
Extended... When you open this box up what you see on the outside is definitely what you get on the inside. Meaning you get the flat wireless charger, no cables, no wall bricks just the unit. TADA!
The nice aspect is it's very well built with a metal feeling build and some weight to it. The speaker ,of course designed for it, fits beautifully on it and makes it very simple to place on top and never go fumbling for cables again which is also aesthetically pleasing.
Do I think this is a nice charger and everyone should get it yes!
Do I wish that for the money an extra charger is the least they could have done.... Also yes!

Deep. Loud. And immersive, too. The SoundLink Revolve Portable Bluetooth speaker delivers true 360° sound for consistent, uniform coverage. Place it in the center of the room to give everyone the same experience. Or set it near a wall so sound radiates and reflects. This wireless speaker is durable, water-resistant and easy to grab and go - with a rechargeable battery that plays up to 12 hours.

Extended Review:
When you get this product first thing you notice, besides the quality Bose name, is how small the speaker itself is. Which normally when I see a small speaker in the Bluetooth world I get nervous! Once you pop it out of the box you see it's pretty straight forward packaging the unit, it's cable and wall plug. I did appreciate that they went with a micro usb charger for this speaker so I could literally use any of my many phone chargers to juice it up especially since they give you less than 5 ft of cable in the box.

Once you turn it on it's a breeze to setup. You hit the power button and it goes step by step talking you through the process and lets you know when it connects successfully. One thing that I always loved/hated about Bose is you get amazing sound quality but you usually get a cap on how loud you can make it so for people like myself you can't crank it up. This is not the case with this Bluetooth speaker I never got to full volume when I played with it and the sound quality was clear and crisp with plenty of bass to satisfy most.
This speaker is nice and for it's very small form factor and the 360 design which has become popular this last few years. It's simply amazing if you are debating about this speaker I do hope my review put your mind at ease because you will not be disappointed.

Head from hardwood to carpet for quick-and-easy full-house cleanups with this Dyson V7 Motorhead vacuum in hand. The direct-drive cleaner head dives deep into your rugs, getting up dirt from even hard-to-reach spaces. Disconnect the handle of this Dyson V7 Motorhead vacuum, and you've got a cordless handheld vac for simple sweep-ups of spills.
Posted by: AverageConsumer
Simple answer: I like it, you don't realize how much of a pain it is to have the big clunky vacuum versus a unit that doesn't even have a cord while your vacuuming.
In-depth Answer: Starting off with the presentation, the box was nice enough and I was happy to see that the cheap handles of Dyson of old were gone. When opening it actually opens from the side and presents the unit very well with a lot of cardboard to make it very secure which I appreciate because you never know how well it gets treated at the store or on the truck.
When you pull the unit out it's pretty self explanatory. You got the unit a charger and a wall adapter that just takes two screws to set up. Plus a few attachments depending on your vacuuming needs. It has clear indicators on it to show what to press and how to do everything which is great for people who may be nervous of trying this out.
Once you get the unit on it's POWERFUL. It does not feel or act like any old cheap vacuum that has promised powerful suction and wireless. This unit cleans my floors better than my older vacuum with the old cable. Now the only thing that I'd say to keep in mind is if your home is pretty big above 1500 square feet I'd either recommend two of these or say get a classic version. Reason being is that the battery life when your at full suction can leave you wanting more as I was able to get around 20-30 minutes before it powered down. This was fine for me as I literally just finished vacuuming as it turned itself off.
This is a great unit and definitely worth the cost to buy it and I hope going forward they get better batteries and make it last longer. Thank you for reading my review.

For that amount u wud be better off getting a whole surround system with a larger more powerful sub!! Skip this one! Sorry Bose!

I have four count them four of these Bose 1 SR's and I would say its best feature is the fact you can crank it and it still is amazing and clarity is unmatched. For anyone who buys this sound bar you will not be disappointed it is hands down the best sound bar you can buy.

2 out of 5sounds just like LG soundbar, wall mount extra $50
By gadgetnerd1

Before buying this soundbar, I visited the BestBuy store and tried out about 10 different brands/models. I needed a soundbar with wireless subwoofer. I read reviews on different websites. Most wireless subwoofers interrupted the WiFi, or were really big. I picked Bose because it sounded excellent in store (other soundbars were connected using stereo cables or were non functional).
Setting it up was very easy. I did the audio calibration, which in my opinion did not make any difference to the audio quality. I watched some action scenes from the Bourne movies and Matrix but it didn't sound as great as it did in the store.
Then as I proceeded to do a wall mount, I realized that I had to buy a mount separately. Seriously Bose? You couldn't make keyholes in the base like every other soundbar has? I have ordered it online and waiting to get it delivered. It's like buying a $500 printer, taking it home and realizing that they did not include the $2 USB cable.

Listen to it yourself because this review is wrong
October 2, 2012
I agree with you that the fact you have to buy a 50 dollar mount is ridiculous but how dare you say that it's the same quality as that poorly constructed Lg sound-bar. It cracks at even mid range volume and it only has bass if you can get that subwoofer to pair which it tends to disconnect on its own. Everyone reading this go buy the Bose 1 SR I guarantee that you will not want to give it up and if you need more convincing think of this have you ever seen a open or used Bose for sale at a Best Buy? Never returned!

I returned my entire Samsung Radiant set and replaced them with one of every sonos speaker. The sonos sound MUCH better, dont distort like the samsungs did, the software works better. These samsung radiant speakers sound good at low volume, but once they go over about 60% they start to distort, the bass drops off and they sound hallow. With the sonos bridge, it creates its own network for the speakers that wont choke up my WiFi. I had problems with these speakers staying connected if i had more than two on at a time. There is no competing product like the sonos bridge/boost. These are samsungs second attempt at around the house speakers, and they are better than gen 1, but still need quite a bit of work all around. Overall, Sonos still owns the home speaker market.
One thing thats great about the R5 (that the rest of the Radiant series doesnt have) is that it can connect wirelessly to any newer Samsung tv. Use the TV Connect option in the samsung app on your phone to connect the two, and thats it. So if you ARENT interested in a whole home set up, but maybe just looking for a bass boost on your tv setup without breaking the bank, this is a good place to look.

I agree with the other commenter, I own 2 of the Samsung Radiant R7's in my living room and they are nothing short of breath taking. The audio is flawless at any volume but I came on the reviews for this one to see if was just as good or if I should just spend the money on more R7's. After reading this review I found it to be Sonos Advertisement-y to be a real person so I'm just going to pick one up tomorrow from Best Buy and I'll post my review. So I guess thanks for your review I'm sold!

So far I find it ok, having had its predecessor. I'll Pro/Con it below:
Pro:
-more comfortable than the Gear Fit 1
-much quicker responsiveness than its predecessor when pressing options
-the motion trigger to turn the watch face on seems accurate
-compatible and working with Nexus 6p (good sign that it works with other Android phones with Android 4.4 and after as they claim)
-quick setup but the navigation is harder to grasp than the Gear Fit 1 (at least to me)
-improved heart rate monitor allows intermittent testing (something tantamount to every hour)

-no obvious way to turn the screen off after it triggers on (you have to wait until it fades to off at one of the preset intervals)
-the watch faces look ugly and there aren't that many to choose from
-the stair counter isn't very accurate
-why have and claim mp3 player for this when all it is is really a small flash drive seeing as how it has no speaker unto itself or headphone jack to issue any music
-The initial declines in the battery make me doubt the battery life claims (it loses %s to fast)
-Notifications are not displayed well (very easy to accidentally block the app which sent the message when you in fact only wanted to close the notification or reply)

I'll conclude by saying the like the idea of this Gear Fit product as I did its predecessor but I'd pay more for better. I tried Moto 360 and others and didn't like them. I wish Samsung would stop restricting the better Gear products and allow them to work with non-Samsung phones. I guess I could just buy into Samsung's phone lines but I don't want to.

I agree with most if your review as I was an owner of the original Gear Fit myself but a couple of things come to mind. First, you can have the display go off by simply covering the screen. Lastly, the music player function might not be for you but is a welcomed feature in my book. If you go for a run and don't want to take your phone you can just take a pair of Bluetooth headphones and your gear. Other than that good review.

Keep your iPhone 8 Plus/7 Plus looking new with this OtterBox Symmetry case. The one-piece design makes installation quick and easy, and the molded, dual-layer construction protects the phone during accidental drops and shocks. The thin, sleek silhouette of this OtterBox Symmetry case maintains a slim profile that's pocket friendly.
How do I clean this case if I got a stain on it .
The way I clean mine is remove it from the phone and than just run it under a sink while rubbing everything off. As long as you dont use chemicals you should be fine.

Enjoy your favorite music through these Sony Sports wireless noise-cancelling headphones. The in-ear design ensures a snug fit, so you can jog or walk without missing a beat, and the wireless format eliminates the need for cumbersome cords. The Ambient Sound Mode on these Sony Sports wireless noise-cancelling headphones keeps you alert to your environment.
Two questions: First, 6 hours battery life for listening time? Second, Can you turn off the noise canceling to increase battery life in-between charges?
Yes and with the ambient noise turned off which is just a little button on the headset you can get about 4 more hours of battery life in my experience.

Enjoy up to 10 hours of wireless audio with these Sony noise-canceling headphones. They produce rich sound by playing at audio frequencies of 3-40,000Hz and have a closed-back design that blocks outside noise for a better listening experience. These Sony noise-canceling headphones sit comfortably behind the neck and work with or without the 1m wire.
Can I use to headphone while charging it?
No, pressing/holding the button doesn't do anything while it's charging.

How difference between this product and Samsung - Galaxy S7 edge 32GB (Unlocked) - Gold Platinum?? Both of all can work with At&t prepaid and internationally? I will leave US around 4 months. So i worry about it if i would pay almost $800
Gold one works only for GSM while the new silver one works with every carrier including Verizon and Sprint that use CDMA towers. For your needs both would work fine.

Does the phone come in other colors beside silver?
It does but this is a test run of fully unlocked so it only comes in silver if you want it to work with all carriers.
