The neckband of this LG wireless headset provides vibration alerts for incoming calls and texts, so you'll never miss a message.

Good pair of wireless earbuds
on May 24, 2017

Unboxing these are simple and you don't get much besides the earbuds, the neck band, USB to micro USB and a small set of ear tips. At first listen I found these to be quiet and flat. After listening to it for a bit and using the app you can download I found a way to increase volume and found the sound quality to be decent. These don't replace other Earbuds that I have but the convenience of no wires at all I found some ways to use these.

Love this vacuum

I had an old Bissells vacuum cleaner and it does its job fine. Can pretty much cleaner anywhere. This also cleans anywhere but it can become more compact and also can clean carpets which is great. It can be a traditional vacuum with its stick like structure or you can break it apart and have it be more portable.

Great portable speaker!
on March 28, 2017
Posted by: Closingracer
from Brooklyn, New York
I have used other bluetooth speakers from other companies and they sounded great but this is the best one I have used so far. It has two passive radiators for more bass. The battery life is amazing at around 20 hours as tested with sound around 40%-60% depending on the time and etc. The one thing I dislike about this speaker it doesn't charge with micro USB and needs the cable that came with the device. This does have a USB male connector to charge your device though. I also like that it is water resistant so I don't have to worry about splashing it accidentally or etc as well.
Overall I love the sound of this speaker and it is a fun sounding speaker so it isn't neutral so don't expect it to be.

Good pair of sport earphones
on February 17, 2017
Posted by: Closingracer
from Brooklyn, New York
These headphones are pretty good for workouts but the sound quality is ok though. I have other pair of wireless earphones and these do last 4 hours longer than the other pair I have. They stay in your ears with those special tips that they have. Sound quality though is only ok though. They don't sound bad but they don't sound the greatest though. If you just want wireless earbuds to last a long time and sound quality isn't that important than these will do the job fine.

Best Android phone to date
on October 23, 2016
Posted by: Closingracer
from Brooklyn, New York
I have used various Android phones over the years and currently using an iPhone 6 Plus. This phone is easily the best phone out in terms of specs and performance in terms of what I have seen so far. The phone is very quick since there is no skin overlay like Touchwiz over it and the camera is the best I have personally used so far on a phone though I wish it took 12.3 megapixel pictures in 16:9 instead of 4:3. The screen is gorgeous but I am biased toward AMOLED screens and this does have everything that makes AMOLED great ( or bad depending on who you are) like Deep blacks and those popping colors. The one thing I personally don't "love" about this phone and this I guess is just an issue with me and Android phones in general is the battery life is ok. I can manage to get a whole days worth but my iOS devices have lasted a lot longer.

Great Active Noise Cancellation headphones
on June 2, 2016
Posted by: Closingracer
This is my first time experiencing the Bose Quiet Comfort series headphones and from what I can tell these are the first in the series to be wireless. This pair of headphones comes with a micro USB to charge it, airplane adapter and a 2.5MM headphone jack to put into the headphone and a 3.5MM jack to be put in the phone which more will be said later about this. There is no triple AAA batteries this time and is rechargeable. The battery is quoted to be around 20 hours wireless and 40 hours wired. The Bluetooth setup was a breeze and can be renamed, updated and controlled by the Bose connect app which I know is on iPhone but not sure about Android since I have yet to try it on an Android device myself. From what I can tell with my use so far the battery life is basically spot on with its wireless claim of 20 hours. I got around 17-18 hours but factors like sound level will be a factor.
Pros:
Wireless
Included hard carrying case
Included cable to use it wired if I don't want to use it wireless.
Can be used with a dead battery so if the battery dies you aren't left with a paper weight but sound will suffer.
These are one of the lightest full size headphones I have ever used and is very comfortable to wear over long listening sessions.
Made of mostly premium materials. Cups is leather and metal with it seems to be less plastic then the older models.
Active Noise cancellation is fantastic and the only one that really works from my experience.
Sound quality: it sounds pleasing overall. Doesn't overextend on the bass or treble at all and the Mids are there.

Cons:
Why use a 2.5MM jack and not use a 3.5MM on both ends which means I can't use other cables?
The cable is also smaller than usual cables

As far as Bluetooth version it uses I am not sure since the box doesn't say but with it being 2016 I assume at least Bluetooth 4.0?
Overall I am giving this 4 out of 5 stars because of Bose's decision to use a 2.5MM jack instead of using the normal 3.5mm jack. Yeah it isn't as bas as the QC 15 but I would like to avoid paying a premium for Bose cables but it is only a small gripe. I would still buy this headphone for its great battery life, fantastic active noise cancellation and sound quality.

Great laptop that looks cool as well
on May 29, 2016
Posted by: Closingracer
I have used this laptop as my daily driver for a few days now and pretty much love this laptop. Though it has a few faults it comes with the territory of a small, thin light laptop. The screen while fantastic it is a glossy screen so some people might have issues using this outside. This laptop has an intel i77-6500U which is a dual core cpu with a base clock of 2.5GHZ and a boost to 3.1GHZ. 8GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD. This laptop for most people tasks will be well worth the $1,300 it costs to buy this device if you want a powerful laptop that is also very slim and stylish. The color scheme some men might hate ( and women as well) but I like the color scheme. The trackpad is easily one of the best I have used on a non windows device but I find a bit to small but only a minor gripe on an otherwise fantastic keyboard.
All in all the only issues I have with this laptop The somewhat poor battery life and that they have a slightly small trackpad. Depending on your needs this is a great laptop.

Good Tablet for the price
on May 19, 2016
Posted by: Closingracer
This tablet comes with a Quad core CPU, 2GB of RAM, a 1200x800 IPS display, 32GB of internal storage with a Micro SD Card slot and Android 5.1. The device for its price is very good. The UI is very minimal in terms of changes from the Stock ROM which is a good thing because this is basically Vanilla Android but with a few slight tweaks done by Acer. The device I find to be slightly sluggish but at the price it costs and what you get inside I am not complaining. Other than that and the sub HD screen are pretty much my only issues with this tablet. I would of liked a Full HD display but this is good enough. I can easily use this tablet to watch Netflix, read my emails and surf the web.

The sound quality is OK but for the cost, it should be magnificent. Also the buttons controls don't control very much. Again for the cost, I should be a able to a answer calls, play/pause music, skip tracks, fast forward and remind as well as change the volume... I expected more for the money.

Overall5 out of 5
5 out of 5A great gaming laptop at a reasonable price.
By JamesJr
The G751 is the newest gaming laptop from ASUS. It may not have the latest 970M or 980M graphics but the GTX 860M is no slouch and is an upper mid-range graphics chip. Also, this model is the only one that has a touch screen, the higher level models do not. The standard hard drive is plenty large at 1TB but I would have liked an SSD at this price. I have already installed one and I recommend that anyone who buys a laptop to install a SSD at least for the OS when they can.
The screen is very large and plenty bright and colorful, this laptop could easily replace your desktop. The keys have a cool red backlighting with a 10 key when you need to get some work done. Overall, I would highly recommend this laptop for anyone who wants a nice-looking and fast gaming laptop or desktop replacement.

This should have the Nvidia 970m or 980m
December 19, 2014
The G751 series in fact has the Nvidia 970 or 980m gpu inside and think either bestbuy is posting the wrong specs or the wrong model number . Also ASUS doesn't sell ROG laptops with a touchscreen to my knowledge unless this is s bestbuy exclusive model with s dumbed down gpu ?

But I you do love Heavy bass don't even think about buying these headphones...

Waiting for them to mail out the replacement is ridiculous and not at all customer friendly! Because your iPhone screen is totally unprotected while you wait for their replacement!!! This is why I would not recommend it to friends!!! Too costly and time consuming and a huge inconvenience and hassle! I hate the way it is set up!!!

3 out of 5Great attempt by HP, but battery is dismal!
By Doug
I waited months for the lightest and thinnest 13" laptop with a Intel core i7. It has many terrific features; size, weight, awesome display, keyboard, etc. But for my uses, the negatives are too much to overcome; TERRIBLE Battery life (I have turned off Bluetooth, turned down display brightness, using power management settings, etc.) yet I am lucky to get 2.5 hours of web surfing and streaming of Netflix! Charging cord is long and bulky for travel. Audio is crisp and clear, but volume is insufficient if there is any background noise in the room at all.
I guess it is back to MacAir; as much as I wanted to get onto Windows 10. Extremely disappointed in HP's claim of 9 hours of battery life. Do they not test their prototypes out first?

While battery life with my MacBook pro is better This isn't that bad... I got around 6-7 hours with it and I was streaming Netflix and web surfing pretty much. A lot more than turning off Bluetooth, lowering brightness can affect the battery life. Low wifi signal can be an issue, high cpu usage and etc. I would also use it for a few days and see if its the same issue.

By byubangal
Laptop is one of the best looking laptops you can buy but the battery life is horrible. If you are running bluetooth, wifi, and your screen is bright; you WILL drop battery life at the rate of 1% every 3 to 4 mins. I've never seen a laptop drop power so fast. Other than that, laptop is great but I will be going back to Spectre 360
