So Light Weight and Sound Great
on October 7, 2021
Posted by: RalphHenry
from New Smyrna Beach, FL
These earbuds are very light weight which I like. I was able to wear them for 3 hours with no discomfort. I did feel if I jogged with them I needed to use a slightly larger eartip to be sure they stayed put. Several eartip sizes are included so you can find the right ones for sitting in front of a computer for 3 hours or a 30 minute jog. The buds did pair in a flash with TV, laptop and cell phone.
I did try using the Windows ‘Your Phone’ app with these heaphones so that I could see if I could combine usage using the phone, my laptop and the earbuds and everything worked fine. Of course the earbuds worked exactly as designed when using my Android phone alone with the earbuds; the call clarity was perfect. I did notice that the touch sensitivity of the buds was excellent.
The sound using cell phone calls was great, but the sound with music was outstanding. I was very impressed with the bass and treble coming through. Noise cancelling worked nicely and also the charge time was as specified about 6-7 hours. You can get up to 35 hours with the built up charge in the case but I didn’t test that specification.
The small charging case pulls the earbuds in smoothly to charge them. When you first open the case the buds go to pairing mode. I sometimes have trouble with earbud pairing but these buds were recognized by various devices very quickly – so I give them the highest mark for pairing ease.
I’m wearing them now, and I barely feel them on my head even with my glasses on. I highly recommend these buds as I rated them highest for charging, pairing, controls, sound and comfort.

Soft and Super Sound
on September 28, 2021
Posted by: RalphHenry
from New Smyrna Beach, FL
Like heaven. Very soft earcups which I need. Covers the entire ear and are adjustable so no pinching on ears with too much pressure. These headphones are excellent quality as well they should be at this price point. The sound is amazing and does include noise cancellation i.e. ‘quiet mode’. The box includes a USB-c charging cable. Also included is a 3mm earphone connector, however they are Bluetooth wireless which I would recommend you use. Pairing with a TV, computer or cell phone is simple; the headphones were found instantly on each source and pairing was successful. You should download the Bose Music App (be sure to get the correct Bose app). This app has controls for audio, phone calls, quiet/aware modes and voice assistant. The app will also tell you the percentage of charge.
I wore the headphones 4 hours without removing them and didn’t know they were on my head, which is fantastic. The bass comes through perfectly. If you are looking for more precise sound reproduction, then these headphones are worth every penny. I highly recommend them.

Cordless & Convenient for Beach Made Smoothies
on September 23, 2021
Posted by: RalphHenry
from New Smyrna Beach, FL
This cordless Nutribullet mini-blender clicked all the boxes for me. I love it. It is ideal to take to the beach because it is cordless and I can pop a couple ice cubes into the carafe, a banana, some juice and boom, I have a fresh made smoothie. If I want another one, just pull the fruit from my cooler and make another one, fresh and cold; cordless makes it easy. If you want to make a smoothie at home, you can blend it and use the included cap and just take the capped-carafe with you.
I noticed some nice safety features. First when you screw the carafe onto the base, a blue light will blink 5 times to tell you the cap is on properly. Secondly, it will not start the blades unless the carafe is in place. Third you must push the start button twice to start the unit – a good feature to avoid an accidental start. Fourth it comes with a cover to screw on the base while charging to keep little (and big) fingers away from the metal blades.
It is not super powerful so you still need a ‘main’ blender. But for a quick cordless process to make a nice smoothie it is a great option to have. I do highly recommend this solid little cordless blender.

Excellent Crock Pot, Easy to Use
on September 23, 2021
Posted by: RalphHenry
from New Smyrna Beach, FL
This crockpot worked perfectly. It has a very simple interface but it is all that is needed to operate the device with 4 options for cooking times. You can go for a higher heat and less time or lower heat but cook longer. I made a nice pot roast and chose the higher heat and for the longer time of 6 hours. The pot heated up and perked away and then automatically went to warm mode after the 6 hour programmed time. I had filled the entire 7 quarts with a chuck roast, onions, potatoes, carrots, celery and 3 cups of beef broth. I did follow the recipe to coat the roast with flour, pepper and salt. I’m not good at cooking but it was delicious. The meat was tender and tasty. I could not ask for more from a slow cooker. This unit does have a lid that clamps on so that you could move the entire filled crockpot to another location – this is a useful feature. Also the ceramic crock pot bowl removes from the heater base for easy cleaning.
A bonus item was a small ‘Little Dipper’ pot for making sauces like cheese or salsa etc. This item was terrible. Its feet were not level so it did not sit properly on the table. It has 3 feet and I had to add a washer under one foot to make it level. This was minor compared to the bad design point such that the inner crock pot was not removeable. So now you have a part with an electrical cord that you have to very carefully remove the cooked on grit without getting the bottom part wet. Very poor and I don’t recommend this item at all.
I won’t take a star off for the bonus item as I do highly recommend the main 7 quart crock pot that is well designed and very easy to use and clean.

Powerful, Compact & Glass Carafe
on September 20, 2021
Posted by: RalphHenry
from New Smyrna Beach, FL
This Oster 2 in 1 blender is a very nice product. It is designed with a glass carafe and metal blade - two very important features. It has the standard low, medium, high and pulse buttons that you need. Plus it has two programmed auto mix settings. One is for smoothies and the other is for salsa. I first tried the smoothie button. I used a mixture of ice cubes, some mango-cranberry juice, a banana and some frozen mango pieces. The smoothie came out perfectly ‘smooth’ and icy cold – very tasty.
You also get a smaller 20 cup carafe that can be used on the blender and then capped and taken on the road. This was handy and this cup did fit well in my car’s cup holders. I also crushed ice easily using this blender and the glass carafe with the metal blades which crush the ice without a problem.
I do highly recommend this well designed blender.

Capable Printer with Ink Tanks
on September 11, 2021
Posted by: RalphHenry
from New Smyrna Beach, FL
It is very easy to install this printer using the Epson Smart Panel cell phone app. The ability to print from your cell phone is very handy. Next, you go to your PC and install the utilities from the provided DVD disk. You will have the abilities to print and scan from your PC or initiate a scan/copy from the printer control panel. After you have connected the WiFi setup, it is a good idea to check and install the newest firmware, and there is a simple interface to do this.
The installation, though simple, does take about 15 minutes from start to finish. You will install the ink, initialize the ink supply, align the print heads and set up your wireless connection. Don’t rush if it is your first try with the Eco Tank cartridges and don’t touch the exposed top of the supply bottles. Epson very smartly made it so that each color has a different ‘plug’ end such that you cannot put the wrong color ink into the reservoirs. Also the printer senses when the ink reservoir is filled and stops the input of ink – that was kind of magical – well done by Epson.
I tested the printing, copying and scanning for black/white and color printing and was very pleased with the clarity and colors. Of course a big plus is the EcoTank system. The printer includes a larger bottle of ink for each color. I can’t test the claim of 2 years of ink yet, but I certainly observed the ink supplied was at least 5 times what you see in ‘normal’ ink cartridges. Note after the ink is initialized, the reservoirs have lowered because the ink is put into the connecting pipes etc., so don’t be concerned. If you had some ink left in each bottle (which I did have), you can add it at this point. Note to add ink you should use the add ink menu since it will ask you to ‘proceed’ when done so that the ink levels will be recalibrated by the printer.
I’m very pleased with this printer from all functional angles and I am very happy about the EcoTank system which will reduce the time spent for buying/replacing cartridges and will reduce cost of printing for me. I do highly recommend this nice printer.

Powerful Mesh Router, Simple to Install
on August 22, 2021
Posted by: RalphHenry
from New Smyrna Beach, FL
The Linksys Atlas mesh router was absolutely simple to install. Once upon a time it was much more difficult to install a router and ensure it was working. Basically, with this Linksys router you install an app on your phone and then you flow seamlessly through the install. There are steps that take a few minutes and a message does pop up to essentially say ‘be patient’. I realized that the software is gathering a lot of information and does establish all your settings – so just be patient. You do receive a little setup card that indicates the color and blink status of the setup progress, so it is smart to use this card so you can see the progress. Once the light turns solid blue you are done. This system has three nodes so you will repeat the process for each node. It was the easiest process I have ever used. I actually put one node only 15 feet from the base node and the software popped up with a message saying ‘…are you sure you don’t want to place this note further away…’ – now that is amazing.
I connected this mesh system off a cable modem/router and established a second in-house network in order to balance resources. SpeedTest showed very little differential in speed from the cable modem/router WiFi versus the Linksys WiFi, so I am very happy with this Linksys system. The app also has an abundance of information on the devices attached and makes it easy to control your network.
You will want to put nodes on different floors if you like, or at least in different corners of the house. I do highly recommend this powerful and simple to use Linksys Mesh system.

Reduces Eye Strain and 1 ms Response Time
on August 19, 2021
Posted by: RalphHenry
from New Smyrna Beach, FL
This HD Monitor worked smoothly for all games I tried, it does have FreeSync technology. Key design point is the 1 ms response time - colors were very sharp and changed fast. I used a few monitor test programs like EIZO. I thought this monitor worked great under test and for games. One game where I saw ghosting on other monitors did not appear on this monitor. You should note that IPS monitors will be a little more vibrant color-wise, but the IPS monitors don’t achieve the 1 ms response time that enables the super fast pixel color changes you need in some games.
The unit is compact, solid and fits my desktop nicely to allow other monitors and my security camera display unit, phone etc. I did appreciate the Acer EyeProtect’s Flicker-less, Blue Light Filter – I did feel less eye strain; so that is another major design point I felt.
The 24 inch size was what I wanted so everything about this monitor including the price worked well for me. Excellent technology at this price point. I do highly recommend this monitor.

Well Made and Very Useful
on August 6, 2021
Posted by: RalphHenry
from New Smyrna Beach, FL
Very nice light source for multiple purposes. Indeed it does work nicely to make your appearance at online meetings much nicer. Most people have overhead lighting but with this device you get a clearer video both of facial and presentation boards (which are still used sometimes).
The construction is solid and the design points are excellent. You have 3 color temperatures, 5 brightness levels, flashing mode and the ability to utilize one, two or three light panels. It comes with a small remote which is essential for changing the controls of the light which you put behind your laptop while you sit in front of your laptop for example and observe the changes. You can also control the light from on board switches. It has a C-USB connector for recharging the long-lasting lithium batteries.
It comes with a small foldout which is all you need for directions. The documentation says you can use it without a tripod but it is not stable enough in my opinion. The base has the tripod camera standard mount and I used a medium sized tripod and that worked great.
I also used it above my pottery wheel and with my wood lathe and it greatly enhanced my visibility while working – so it has a lot of uses with its 162 LEDs. I do recommend this unit for online meetings and other lighting needs. Great product.

Sophisticated System, Easy Setup
on July 21, 2021
Posted by: RalphHenry
from New Smyrna Beach, FL
This system is simple to set up and my initial use has shown it to be rock solid. It came with 2 wireless 1080p cameras, however you can add more. The package comes with the base unit already having a 64 GB micro SD card. I like the SD card method so that you can remove the card and insert a different card each month or whenever you like. This preserves the data so it is not overwritten inadvertantly. Of course this means no monthly fees to store data and no potential exposure from storing data in the cloud.
The base unit contains a very clear 7” touch screen that is wonderful – sharp and has vibrant colors. The setup uses the base unit and your cell phone. You download the ‘Lorex Home’ app and this gives you another display which is also mobile. You can play prior videos or display the live views of either camera on the base unit or your cell phone. You can decide on notifications and other parameters, it's easy to do.
This system also includes a WiFi extender. I have found with prior wireless cameras, the farthest units will have trouble connecting sometimes. Lorex removes this exposure by providing a nice WiFi extender with this system. Again it is simple to add the extender to your system with a few steps after everything is already set up. I should note that the cameras did reach the base unit from my garage without the extender, however with the extender it appeared the live feed came up a little quicker. Also you can check that the cameras are using the extender or are using the base. The cameras did switch ‘automagically’ to the WiFi extender after I configured it – nice.
The quality of the devices, software and videos is excellent. The instructions are clear and guide you to get everything installed with no troubles. I noticed on the Lorex website that Lorex is very sharp in terms of clarity and I did make a call on a minor question and got an answer in minutes, very little wait time and excellent knowledge from the technician – tip of my cap to Lorex.
You will need to charge the batteries in the cameras. They are lithium, your amount of usage will dictate when you need to re-charge the batteries. The amount of charge is shown on your Lorex Home Center base screen for each camera; so it is easy to know when to charge them. You can remove the battery to charge or charge with the batteries installed in the cameras.
There are always tradeoffs between wired, fully wireless and wireless with power connections to the cameras. This type of unit requires no wiring – no power to run and no signal wiring to run. I find that this is a very easy way to get your security system setup. The sophistication of the Lorex system takes the installation complexity and virtually removes it. I do recommend this great system for its quality, ease of install, crystal clear videos and functionality.

Took it back
By kenn
After setup was complete, the computer suffered many glitches, both in hardware and software. E.g. the computer kept disconnecting from my Wi-Fi and I had to go in and retype the password. Computer locked up several times and I had to unplug it to shut it down so I could reboot it. Much of my software apps displays were incredibly small and I could find no way to change them. These were just a few of the most glaring examples.
You Can Change Size of Objects & Text
December 27, 2015
The ultra HD display can be adjusted. Go to Settings, System (Display is in there), Advanced Display Settings and change the resolution to 1920x1080. Then continue on to Advanced Sizing of Text and Other Items; now click on 'Set a custom scaling level' (blue text) and select 110%. Now everything will be correct. Most apps don't work well with the Ultra HD yet. But your machine will be powerful as new Apps come out. Once the machine updates to latest Windows 10, you will find it great.

Great Product at First
By Merv
Worked great in the beginning but had trouble keeping battery power and is dead now and will not recharge. Also not easy to clip on. The band included to wear on your wrist is 4" thick at least and not practical. It would have been better to purchase on of the wrist versions versus the one. I hope Best Buy will allow me to exchange due to the default.
FitBit One Wide Band
January 22, 2016
You do realize the wide band is ideal for sleep monitoring as it is very comfortable on the wrist all night. It is not a watch band. Also various suppliers make a band that the Fitbit One can snap into and then it can be worn as a watch. SO if you like the Fitbit otherwise, just get the watch band for it.

CONSTANT PROBLEMS WITH SYNCING
By loyalcustomer from Davenport, FL
little support from Fitbit regarding syncing problems as module appears to be not always functioning during sync. No real solutions received that are workable. Long time getting responses from Fitbit.
Syncing Fitbit One
January 22, 2016
I noticed trouble syncing and it seemed if you have the application open and the Fitbit is connected to your PC, then it won't sync with your phone and vice versa. Not sure if that is an error or the design. Once application closed on PC now the phone sync'd in a couple seconds. So maybe this is what some people are seeing?

Highest Quality and Top Features
By RalphHenry from Raleigh, NC
This AIO has superior resolution to others. Some reviews spoke about a text problem, however you can improve the text via going to settings, display, advanced and 'cleartype text' and follow the steps. Also has 3D display capability which is good for future needs for me. Sound is nice with Jensen speakers. Touch screen is great. WIFI is super and has both 2.4 and 5 GHz ranges with Wireless AC. Very quiet fan. Lenovo support has regressed but is do-able I asked a simple question and the tech had no idea, also the website seems broken in the support area; glad I got Geek Squad. But this AIO is one great machine. price is very reasonable for what you get. Love it.
Intel Has Fix for Display Errors
March 7, 2016
Here's good news after I called and got an update from Lenovo support. The problem of getting errors such as "Display driver has stopped responding and has recovered..." seems to be fixed. But the Lenovo support site does not have the driver version to install since it is still in 'maintenance' or Beta test. However you can get the driver from Intel for their 530 graphics hardware at https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/25620/Intel-Graphics-Driver-for-Windows-7-8-1-10-15-40-6th-Gen-?v=t
The driver version is 20.19.15.4352 (you're probably using 4300). Now if you download the driver and run the driver install as you normally do under Windows it will say either you are already at the most current driver level or that your manufacturer has not ok'd the use of this level. But the Lenovo tech helped me install it. Basically you need to go to Device manager, select the Intel HiDef Graphics 530, and click to update the driver. Select to install from your computer and say you have a disk and then select the folder where you unzipped the new 4352 driver stuff. Now it will install this driver. I have not seen the display driver error message any more so it appears that this driver fixes things. I had tried all kinds of combinations of settings for the NVDIA driver (there are two display drivers) in conjunction with the Intel driver thinking that the interaction caused the problems. But hopefully this driver level will work. Call Lenovo if you don't want to try to install it yourself.

Good but some issues
By Mike944
The 4K screen is what sold me. However, it has a lot of glare and not as stunning as you would think for it being 4k display. Also, the video card seems to crash and recover randomly. The system stays on and it recovers well on its own, but it seems to do this regularly nonetheless. Also the keyboard is a very flat, chiclet laptop style keyboard with next to no key travel, resulting in a lot of typing errors. I do not care for this type of keyboard. Otherwise, the performance is pretty snappy with no lag and Windows 10 is a huge improvement over 8.
Graphics Card Problem Fixed
March 19, 2016
I had the same problem with video card crash and recover. Finally a fix is available I have it installed for 2 weeks and not a single error. You have to download a driver from Intel for 530, it is level 20.19.15.4352 You cannot get it from the Lenovo support site because it is a Beta driver. I stumbled into it because I called IBM support and happened to get a tech who knew about it. Go here to find the driver https://downloadcenter.intel.com/product/88345/Intel-HD-Graphics-530-for-6th-Generation-Intel-Core-Processors Now you need to update the driver but the normal procedure ( go to driver tab in Device Manager...) will result in a message saying you can't install this driver... But if you go to the Device Manager and then right click the device then click on 'update driver software', then flow through browsing on your computer and say 'have disk'... and point where you unzipped the file; it will install it. If you can't weave through the steps just call Lenovo and the tech will show you or Best Buy Geek will show you. I've tested it and it works fine, great not to see those video crash and recovered errors.

No service after purchase
By Mako50
Bought this watch in november 2015, button has already fallen off without any damage or abuse and best buy wont do anything unless you buy their replacement plan, which goes for every item in their store, no replace plan=your on your own to deal with manufacturers, and this huawei watch is unrepairable at the factory- they told me since the button fell off my warranty is voided WTF and cant even be repaired if i pay, basically 3 months use now its a $400 paperweight
Seems Like Phony Customer Support
March 25, 2016
I had to laugh, the comment from their Customer Support, says sorry for frustration and then cleverly says they'll go ahead and solve your problem by contacting their Customer Support? Yikes, what the @$#&^@.

Good Computer BUT
By BBPurchaser071
After purchasing, the specs on the graphics card is GTX 950A, NOT A 950.Looking up the specs of the 950A, here is what is on NVIDA site: We recommend the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 950A for gaming with highest details at resolutions up to, and including, 1280x720. Why would they put in a graphics card in a 4K monitor that can only support great quality up to 1280X720. Taking it back to store.
This PC has Two Graphics Cards
June 5, 2016
You make a good point. This PC has two graphics cards and the other is the Intel HD 530 but I see it recommends only up to 1366x768. I know the display is supposed to handle 3840x2160 and you can select this setting and it works fine. I'm wondering if the limits on each card are overcome because you have both graphics cards? Maybe the manufacturers just undershoot the real capability? Anyway my Lenovo AIO 700 works great and I love it. For the money it is the best deal. I do know that you have to install a new driver for the HD 530, make sure you have 20.19.15.4352 (this is a Beta driver you can get from Intel) If you don't get it, you will get frequent from the HD 530.

Worst Computer Ever
By Disappointed
This computer is very aesthetically pleasing and has great specs. The 4k screen is very nice and the accessories work great.
However...
1.
This computer constantly is crashing citing a graphics card error. Simply browsing the internet or typing a Word document and the screen will constantly be crashing.
2.
The computer will not let me install updates and programs are constantly freezing and crashing. The only programs I have installed are Kaspersky protection suite and Microsoft Office suite.
**One day I turned on my computer and attempted to create a Word document only to find that the computer had deleted the entire office suite! There is no trace it ever existed.
3.
Simple tasks such as opening a program take a ridiculous amount of time. For a solid state hard drive, opening Windows Explorer takes on average 5 MINUTES!!! I have nothing saved on this computer!
I took my computer into Best Buy and paid $150 and they said that they could not find any problem. I will be returning this computer.
DO NOT BUY
Display Error Problem Fixed
August 12, 2016
I once worked at Lenovo & IBM and know a little about display drivers. The problem here is Lenovo's support site recommends the wrong driver level for the Intel 530 Display Driver. All you need to do to automatically fix this is use the Intel Driver Update Utility. Download it and it will show a list of recommend driver updates. For starters just choose the display driver update. At this time it will install level 20.19.15.4463 -> all your problems will go away. You can also let it install any other drivers it may find are down level. It is great. Here is the link to download the utility: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/24345/Intel-Driver-Update-Utility By the way, for this computer to allow stuff I use like Windows Live to look better, I change the screen resolution to 1920x1080 and set the text scaling level to 110%. At the price, this is a super wonderful computer but need to make the changes I suggest.

Terrific 2 in 1 Just Make 1 Change
By RalphHenry from Raleigh, NC
This is a steal especially at the sale price. Beautiful touchscreen display, quad core processor albeit not the fastest but 4 cores and made by Intel so not power hungry. Dual Band AC WiFi which is important. Also very solid build, great keyboard. Only thing that slowed it down was 5400 rpm 500GB HDD. Some reviews said slow and it was a bit, but pop in an SSD and it flies super fast. You can use a free program like EASEUS to clone the HDD exactly to the SSD, including the recovery partition etc. Now you keep the old HDD as your instant backup image if needed. 4GB memory appears to be enough. Great function as tablet or tent or normal PC. Very portable which was one of my needs. If you want to step up, get HP's 13.3 inch same as this just bigger, 6GB memory but same tired old 5400 rpm drive problem but you can fix that with an SSD; and this more expensive one has a 6th gen core i3. I couldn't afford the bigger one, but I also liked the smaller 11.6 display anyway. Both have IPS display technology - great.
SSD Can be Swapped in Here's How
August 13, 2016
I did see the instructions you refer to and they are for an x360 Notebook. It is confusing, as this PC is an x360 2in1. HP does take you to the wrong place. But I looked further and HP does provide a Hardware Maintenance Manual for the x360 2/1. It shows you exactly how to get inside and replace anything from the battery to memory to the HDD. I will paste in the link to the manual and it shows you each step. But I'll give you an overview. You do have to be careful but it is not too difficult. First before removing anything I used a free program called EASEUS Backup which cloned the 500 GB HDD to a 500 GB SSD (it makes it identical including the recovery partition). You do need a USB cable to attach the SSD to a USB port on this PC to make the clone. Then basically you remove 12 screws on the bottom and flip it face up and gently pry the keyboard up first at the hinge end. Don't pull the keyboard off all the way as you have to remove two flat cables from their ZIF connectors. ZIF connectors are easy to release but you do have to notice which side of the connector that you flip up. It is easier if someone holds the keyboard up slightly while you release the ZIF's. I was able to do it myself. Once the keyboard is off, you remove 2 screws from the HDD (it says 4 but I only saw 2 screws) and also another ZIF cable to release the HDD from the board. You will have to take the bracket and the cable plug off the hard drive and put them on the SSD. Then reverse the process. I did read that things like memory are not accessible but the HMM also shows you how to remove a shield a small board and boom there is the single 4GB memory card. You can put in an 8GB memory card but I didn't since the SSD gives you tremendous speed improvement that the memory upgrade will only give you slight improvement. Now the link to the 90 page Maintenance & Service Guide (I also saved it to my desktop): http://support.hp.com/us-en/search?q=HP%20Pavilion%20x360%20m1-u001dx%20maintenance%20and%20service%20guide&filter=&product=11084072&pname=HP%20Pavilion%20x360%20m1-u001dx%20(ENERGY%20STAR) If you are concerned, BBuy should be able to do it for you with your cloned SSD for a small fee. There are lots of videos of people doing this level of stuff on the smaller 2/1 laptops, tablets and cell phones that seemingly are not accessible.. I did watch one on ZIF connectors.

I need a portable CD player with a USB adapter that can fit into my USB port in my 2019 Odyssy Honda car. As you might know , the new cars do not have a CD player. Please suggest a CD player and how much it will cost? Thank you.

You could use this one. You would have to get a cable from the 3.5 mm jack on this device to USB. It would work fine. However this unit skips a lot so the motion from the car may be too much for it.

My speaker won’t pair to my phone, my phone states that the device is out of Range or not turned on but my device is turned on And within Range how can i fix this issue

Make sure you have pressed the Bluetooth button only once - if you press it again it will turn off Bluetooth on the speaker. It should announce that it is in pairing mode via a voice prompt from the speaker. On your phone, you may sometimes need to go to Settings and Bluetooth and turn Bluetooth off then on while the speaker is looking for your phone. I needed to do this and then also hit the refresh symbol on the phone screen. Suddenly the Sport appeared as in the pairing list on the phone.

Store data on this 128GB SanDisk Ultra Fit USB flash drive. The low-profile casing prevents damage by keeping it snug to the port, making it a great fit for use with tablets, laptops and game consoles. This SanDisk Ultra Fit USB flash drive uses USB 3.1 technology to deliver up to 10 times the transfer speed of older drives.
 

The main purpose of me purchasing this drive is to fast transfer videos from one computer to another. Can I trust this drive to transfer heavy videos (from premier pro) from one computer to another decently fast?

More than decently fast. It is very quick based on what I experienced moving large files.

It is FAT32 out of the box, but I suppose you could change it to whatever you like.
