Cool device and helps kids to learn to code
on October 9, 2020
Posted by: recruiter89
from Boston, MA
My kids love tinkering around with the latest gadgets and they like to build things with bricks and legos and if you throw in something you can build that turns into a robot, thats even better. I love iRobot products and I own the Roomba s9 and its an awesome product. This device allows the kids to build this device in different ways and then pair it with an app to combine all sorts of features to make it fun and interactive. I dont want my kids playing on iPads all day or video games and this takes them in a different direction plus it throws code learning in which is intuitive and a cool way to get your kids to embrace technology. Really cool device and I would highly recommend!

Jury is still out on these, almost there but bulky
on October 9, 2020
Posted by: recruiter89
from Boston, MA
Similar to other Bose products, I always give them a try because of their reputation and design. Having a partner that snores can do damage to any relationship and trying to find the happy medium between moving to another room and finding some solution to cover that noise is a welcome change. Bring on this device which claims to not only block out noise but provide other noise to fill in. The app syncs nicely to these and you put them in and drift off to sleep. The problem I see is, I couldnt get used to the design of these sitting in my ears similar to an ear bud all night. I mean they seem to curve to fit the ear, but I sleep on my sides at times and they didnt seem to conform to that way of sleeping. I did like the various noises you could choose from in the app like rain and white noise, however, I still am not used to having these in the ears for that long period of time. I am still trying them and getting used to how they fit but not sure. I guess since they are the only type of tool out there to block out noise at night, I would sort of recommend, but still unsure.

Still not bright enough but nice not having bridge
on September 29, 2020
Posted by: recruiter89
from Boston, MA
I use Phillips throughout my home for smart lights and wanted to try something without a bridge. These look like simple 60 watt bulbs but when you download the accompanying app, they turn into smart lights that can change color or turn off and on with voice recognition. The problem with smart lights, they are just never bright enough for my liking and these get bright to about 55-60 watt maybe. They are cool gadgets seeing you do not have to pair them up with a bridge and Hampton is a pretty reliable name. I am sure I will get good use out of them.

Better sound begins with better silence. That’s why Bose QuietComfort Earbuds are engineered with the world-class noise cancelling and high-fidelity audio. Microphones inside and outside the earphones sense noise and react instantaneously to cancel the signal. Get rid of disruptions so you can turn up the music on your wireless earbuds and amplify whatever you’re most passionate about — from hiking or circuit training to coding or baking. And when you need to be more aware of your surroundings, minimize noise cancelling with a quick double tap, so you can walk down a busy street or listen for your boarding announcement. StayHear Max tips provide extra comfort and stability for an even better experience. Rule the Quiet with Bose QuietComfort Earbuds and get an exhilarating experience that’s tough to find in any other Bluetooth earbuds. The Bose QuietComfort Noise Cancelling Earbuds are available in Triple Black, Soapstone and limited-edition Sandstone or Stone Blue.

So-so ear buds, weird design and fit
on September 24, 2020
Posted by: recruiter89
from Boston, MA
I have owned several Bose products from speakers to headphones and even their first generation ear buds. The one issue I keep coming back to is not only user friendly but bulky and uncomfortable. These ear buds are no different. Sound is ok quality, good base and treble but they stick quite far out of your ear and even with ear piece supposedly comforming to the shape of your ear, it still looks odd to have this big black plastic piece covering up your entire ear canal. They maintain well in the ear and they sync well with bluetooth over an iPhone, but even working out with them, I couldnt help noticing the uncomfortable feeling of how large they sat against my ear. I feel like Bose made some big improvements from the last pair of similar ear buds I owned, but to not change the design of these was a crime and making them less real estate for the ear.

Without sound, they’re just sunglasses. Thoughtfully refined and strikingly elegant, Bose Frames Soprano style feature large lenses, delicately sloped browline and an elegant update to the cat eye, providing a dash of retro glamor with modern sheen. Bose Open Ear Audio technology produces clear, lifelike sound, leaving you free to engage with the world around you while discreetly listening to music. Bose Frames also feature an advanced mic system that lets you make crystal clear calls, scratch-and-shatter-resistant polarized lenses and a rechargeable battery that plays for up to 5.5 hours. All this housed in a lightweight frame crafted from ultramodern materials for a luxurious look and feel.

Mediocre sound quality and sub par sunglasses
on September 8, 2020
Posted by: recruiter89
from Boston, MA
Im still scratching my head at what the point of this device is for Bose. The concept seems ok, integrate speakers into the arms of sunglasses so you can try and knock out two devices with one shot, however it basically fails on both fronts and I wonder what the point of these are? The sunglasses frames themselves look like a large metal knockoff of Risky Business Tom Cruise Ray Bans, black, thick and oversized, except wait, the arms bulge out and there is a tiny speaker lodged inside the arms on each side you sync with the Bose app on your phone to play your favorite music. The problem is, the big question, why? I have ear phones, headphone that are wireless, I can stick those in when I am wearing my sunglasses. Having speakers built into not very stylish shades is defeating the purpose. Plus the fact, Bose products have declined over the years and the sound is just not there anymore which is sad from a previous leader in this space. I would have a hard time recommending this device to anyone.

Simply one of the best Air Fryer/Oven options!
on September 3, 2020
Posted by: recruiter89
from Boston, MA
I have used several Ninja products and they are well made and quality type products. This product is no exception and what is unique about the product, it is a dual drawer air fryer and over. What this means is that you can on one side be frying up french fries and the other side oven roasting meat. It even has fryer plates that sit inside each drawer to assist with grease and juice drippings. The nice part about this it is one touch set up and allows for simple and easy settings. I used it when it arrived for fries and oven roasting broccoli and what is nice, both side drawers finish at the same time and allow for your meal to be ready simultaneously. Unlike other air fryers that only allow for one item, this allows for two and its easy to set up and use. I would highly recommend this product. Keep in mind, the product is quite large and I do not store this on the counter top due to its size.

Really cool vac/floor mop combination
on July 22, 2020
Posted by: recruiter89
from Boston, MA
I am a Dyson guy through and through, however I am always looking at the competition and how they are trying to keep up with Dyson and I am noticing more and more, Dyson is being left in the dust due to the ingenuity of Hoover and Bissell products. This device is no exception and is in a line of products called OnePwr meaning they are all running off the same power source battery and this can be switched out between the whole line of products. This vac not only cleans up serious messes, it has the power to vacuum and wash the floor from pet messes primarily while deodorizing the mess. The suction power on this machine is awesome and I really like the usability and ease of using this vac. I would look to buy all of this line of products.

Dell continues to build quality machines
on July 12, 2020
Posted by: recruiter89
from Boston, MA
I usually buy MAC computers however when I look to buy a PC, Dell is the brand I always choose primarily because they are always ahead of the game when it comes to quality and the durability of their machines. This PC is no exception and not only is it sleek to look at with a taupe/tan coloring, it is thin, lightweight and is portable and quick. The video and graphics output on this machine is up to date with the latest I have witnessed and the keyboard and fast interface allow for just an all around great computer for any type of user. I would always recommend Dell to anyone shopping around for a PC and would look to purchase this type of machine again.

Awesome device, adds USB and more ports to my Mac
on June 18, 2020
Posted by: recruiter89
from Boston, MA
I was surprised how small this device was when it came, but it is pretty cool. this device plugs into the C Port on the right side of the Macbook and adds two USB ports and also an additional card reader slot and is handy to have around especially since the Macs do not come equipped with USB old style and only come with USB C which prevents a lot of regular USB technology from accessing the ports on newer Macbooks. I like having this capability and was wondering when they would come out with a product like this one. Awesome little device I bring with me everywhere.

Nifty little device that packs a punch of power!
on June 15, 2020
Posted by: recruiter89
from Boston, MA
Usually devices like this dont work or do half of what they say they will. The best thing about this device, it has a cool app to back it up n the iPhone and you can monitor your meats and cook to perfection knowing the meat will turn out great. Its easy to set up and use and its small enough you can put it inside an apron pocket. I am not a fan of cooking chicken since I never know when it will be done but with this device, I can choose chicken and know that its cooked perfectly without cutting inside and destroying it. Highly recommended!

5 out of 5Unbelievable picture, crisp and clear! Awesome!
By recruiter89

I just received this TV today and first off delivery was somewhat smooth with one or two bumps but nothing big. This TV is everything you hear about minus the silly speakers along the side bar edges. The 4K is something to see and with this set buying the Media Player along with it is essential since you won't have to bring a technician to upgrade your TV like the XBR65X900A. This set is already up to date and has the latest upgrades. Within 10 minutes I was up and running and turning this on it literally blew me away. The 4K and even the HD are beautiful with no sign of pixels and the 65" shows this off even more than I would imagine the 55". What I noticed is that Sony did a very good job of streamlining their applications and internet content and now has tons more similar to a Roku box. Also the menus and preferences are picture icons and are larger. They also did away with the flat stand and went to a chrome heavy duty ring which is heavier but they did do away with a feature I enjoyed which was the tilt screen and now it is totally vertical which I can live with.
The 4K content on the media player is quite impressive with all sorts of demos of how cool this set looks and they also loaded up 10 movies in 4K of all new titles and TV shows to show off how glamorous 4K looks. For this price, the picture needs to look pristine and it does and was worth every penny. I am very satisfied with this purchase. One thing, be careful ordering from Amazon when it comes to Ceva shipping, They came through in the end but the tracking was sub par and never clued me in to where this item was the entire time to delivery window. For those other reviews saying this is not worth it and not ready for prime time, just wait, Sony is not a dumb company,...remember they were the first to jump on board with Blu Ray loading it into the new PS3s. 4K is here to stay and you won't be sorry. I have owned 4 Sony TVs and not one has done me wrong. They also throw in 1 year of Hulu Plus and Netflix streaming so you can't go wrong there.

Did not buy this at Best Buy since it was unavail
October 6, 2013
Since I posted this review, wanted to comment that the reason I added Amazon shipping, since I did not purchase this at Best Buy. I was told Best Buy could not get this out to me until October 10-11 so I wanted quick shipping and plus Amazon is tax free.

5 out of 5Big Differences between 2nd gen Nests! Great!
By recruiter89
from Boston, MA
I had just installed 2 2nd generation Nests and 3 weeks later this was released so I boxed them up and returned both to Best Buy and swapped them out for this generation version. Those of you who think there are no big differences in generations, you are dead wrong. This generation of Nest is thinner, larger more bold screen and has a Farsight setting which enhances the entire dial, noticing you from about 20 feet away looking at the thermostat. Plus it seems more intuitive and is just sleeker looking. What happened was Google bought these guys and said, lets update this product to make it look like a modern product put out by a Google company. Plus this syncs nicely with all 9 of my 2nd gen Nest Protects and is just a beautiful product. So go ahead and trade in your 2nd gen Nest Thermostat because you won't be sorry!
