Use your own headphones! Nice design.

First off this is more of a wireless neckband adapter that allows you to plug in whatever headphones you desire. It comes with a pair of headphones that sound okay but lack bass. The neckband has a integrated cable management system so you can wrap around your excess headphone wires and also has clips to hold down the left and right earbud wires more securely. The neckband material (medical silicone grade rubber) feels comfortable to wear and is IPX4 rated for
water, shock and dirt resistance.
water, shock and dirt resistance.
It has a reported 10 hours of playback time and charges in 1.5 hours from zero percentage. Syncing the neckband with my iPhone was a cinch and accessing the playback controls on the Gravity is easy enough. Controls allow for volume +/-, track skip/previous, Siri access and phone call answer/hangup. Recharging the neckband is easy with the included micro USB cable.
The included earphones are lacking in sound fidelity. Bass is very lacking and mid range audio is not strong. The focus is more on the neckband with the earphones feeling more like a throw in. Earphones are very comfortable to wear at least and stay on securely during more extreme movement. The Jlab also has an integrated microphone for phone calls which is a plus.
Overall I love the concept of this neckband allowing for your own headphones to be used. 10 hours playback is better than any other wireless headset I have used in the past. I usually average 3-5 hours with other brands. Time will tell how long this Jlab Gravity will last but I am really enjoying it so far. Worth the money.

Solid Boom Box Quality Sound. Nice 4.1 Design.

First off this thing is big weighing in at 12 lbs and 21 inches wide. It does have a hidden built in handle to make it easier to transport around. The sound quality is excellent. Even at louder volumes the sound does not get noticeably distorted and still sounds real clear. Terrific bass. IPX-3 rated for dust, water and shock resistance which is great for outdoor usage like by the pool or beach. Rechargeable battery which is rated for 10-12 hours playtime. Built in phone charging is a major plus and the integrated microphone is nice for hands free chatting. Bluetooth connectivity is seamless and is good for 100 ft. range. Overall it sounds great, feels durable and is easy to use. Should last for years to come and is worth the money at this price point.

Weak Bass. Overall OK sound. Lightweight/Comfy
on June 7, 2017
Posted by: NYY0420A
from Brooklyn, NY
Upon opening the box I was greeted with a pair of headphones that has a sleek, lightweight design with a very nice metallic finish. The excitement ended once I tested the ATH-SR6BT.
Audio Quality:
The headphones look and feel great to wear but the audio quality does not seem to be on par. The bass is very lacking and all the songs I played sound the same to me. It doesn't come to life with the good midrange and solid bass that I am used to with other headphones. There is no way to adjust any EQ settings so the sound quality will be as is.

Design:
Headphones are lightweight and very comfortable to wear hours on end. I love the metallic finish around the earpieces. The leather on the headband and earpads feels very good. It was easy to charge and sync also. The slider button could be improved. I found myself accidentally sliding the button when I just wanted to press it in to pause or play a song. It feels cheaply made. The ability to fold in the earpieces is a plus for portability. It reportedly has a 30 hours continuous playback time which is outstanding for any rechargeable headset.

Overall it is a generally well designed headset that looks good and feels comfortable to wear. The downfall is the audio quality is not very good. Bass and mid range is lacking. For the price point it is a letdown for sure.

Fast Speeds. Stable Connections.
on May 9, 2017
Posted by: NYY0420A
from Brooklyn, NY
I have tested and reviewed many routers in my time always looking for something that will eliminate wireless dead spots in my house while providing fast stable connections. The Linksys EA9300 is worthy of my review.
The EA9300 design is very similar to most of Linksys' wireless router lineup. This latest iteration contains a 1.8 GHZ Quad Core processor which should maintain fast speeds and provide quick router administration.
This router comes with 6 external antennas which provide terrific wireless range in my 2200 sq. ft. home. I am getting the maximim link rate of 866 mbps no matter where I am located in the house.
Tri-band and MU-MIMO routers seem to be the norm moving forward and it allows for better load balancing if your household has many devices and some legacy machines as well. Has a USB 3.0 port for NAS.

The administration interface is on par with previous Linksys routers I have used and is simple enough to navigate for beginners. Sifting through the settings and applying them is fast and easy.
I recommend the EA9300 for its speed and wireless connection stability. This is a AC4000 router so it makes more sense to purchase this if you have multiple devices at home that are streaming HD or Ultra HD content and playing online games at the same time.
PROS:

Highly Durable. Good Sound.

Posted by: NYY0420A
from Brooklyn, NY
The Aquaphonics AQ9 is my first waterproof portable speaker and it does not disappoint.
I was able to hook it up in my bathroom without any issue and it withstood the shower spray like a champ.
Sound quality is quite good for a speaker of this size and price range. Bass is above average as well. The speakerphone quality is nice and I was able to take a phone call smoothly.
I have used the speaker for more than 10 hours and it is still going strong without needing to recharge. Recharging the speaker battery is a cinch too.
The design works for me with the cassette player appearance. Power and lock buttons are located on the top. The AQ9 allows for 8 bluetooth device connections which could be very useful.
Overall I did not expect much from this speaker's performance but I am glad I tested it since it's well built and sounds good. Very nice buy for anyone looking for a lightweight portable speaker that is water and dirt resistant!

+Very durable

A little challenging to maneuver. Good value.
on May 4, 2017
Posted by: NYY0420A
from Brooklyn, NY
My wife and I have been using manual swiffer mops for the past few years and they usually do a nice job. We were excited to use this Bissell electric hard floor mop as it would save on the manual swiffering effort.
The Bissell mop is more on the heavier side but I don't mind that as much since it feels solidly built. It does a good job of cleaning the floors with dual spinning mop heads. The spinning mop heads does make the mop challenging to navigate. The mop tended to pull to one side or the other depending on how the mop is oriented at that moment. I got used to this more but it may be difficult for other users to adjust to this.
Mop contains a water container you have to fill so that you push a button to spray the floor in front of the mop then run the spinning mop heads over that wet area. Overall the Bissell did a good job of cleaning and saves us from exerting all that energy from manually mopping.
Overall I recommend this Bissell and think it is a good value for the price. It takes getting used to handling and steering the mop and may not be for everyone. Mop heads are easy to change out.
PROS:
+Good Value for the money
+Feels solidly built
+Cleans pretty well
+Easy to change mop heads.

Very Good Audio Quality. Solid Bass.
on April 19, 2017
Posted by: NYY0420A
The UE Wonderboom bluetooth speaker delivers solid room filling sound. It has good bass and music had low distortion. Connecting to the device via my iPhone was a cinch.
I like the speaker design and it doesn't feel too lightweight which makes it feel like it contains quality components. Comes with a 2 year limited hardware warranty.
The Wonderboom is rated to have 10 hours playback time and I had it on for 7+ hours with decent charge to go. I did not test the speaker's IPX7 waterproof ability but that is definitely a plus for people who use it in a shower, pool side or it rains.
Overall I am pleased with the UE Wonderboom bluetooth speaker. You get what you pay for here and what you get is a portable speaker that delivers excellent 360 sound, daylong battery life and is solidly constructed.

Good Sound. Decent Mic. Solid Value.
on March 22, 2017
Posted by: NYY0420A
I used this on my PC for games like Oblivion and it did not disappoint. Build quality feels okay but could be a lot better for the headband and wiring. Ear cups feel comfortable enough but could also be better.
I like the retractable mic feature but muting is a little more challenging. The mic quality is decent and I have to speak more loudly for people to hear me clearly. Mic does a good job of noise cancellation and isolating only my voice.
Audio quality is good and bass is strong enough. The SNR is 55 db and is very noticeable on higher volumes. Headsets that I have owned usually have 90 db and higher.
Overall I would recommend these headsets. They are a solid value for the money you pay.
PROS: Nice design.
Retractable boom microphone.
Active noise cancellation (PC).
Comfy earcups.
Not expensive.

Improved My Cell Signal. Pricey.
on March 13, 2017
Posted by: NYY0420A
After installing the 2 antennas on the outside and inside of my living room window, I turned on the booster. Our cell phone signals usually get 3 bars from Cricket at home and this booster improved it to about 5 bars if you are close to the antenna and fluctuating between 4-5 bars further away on the first floor. On the second floor we would see fluctuations of 3-4 bars. You have to adjust the antennas initially for a little bit to get optimal signal boost.
Overall it improved our cell signal reception in the house but this will vary with other people depending on where you live and your home's size and layout.
PROS: Cell signal reception improved.
CONS: Pricey.
Antennas are sensitive to adjustment.

Best Wi-Fi System! Easy Setup. Expensive.
on January 10, 2017
Posted by: NYY0420A
DESIGN
I love that you plug the ethernet and power cables in the BOTTOM of each unit giving it a cleaner look with all the cables being threaded through a small rubber corner cutout. The unit itself is tall but at least the outside looks nice enough to blend in with different room decors. There is a small led light on top that shows whether the unit is connected(Blue), being setup(Purple), disconnected(Red) or the connection is weak(Yellow).

SETUP
Upon opening the Linksys box I feel a great sense of simplicity and easy installation coming ahead as all the nodes, power adapters and quick start guides are neatly placed inside. Like previous Wi-Fi systems I have tested, setup requires you to download an app either on your phone/tablet. I love the illustrated installation steps the Linksys app provides. I had to restart the setup process because it was taking too long to finish the last configuration process but the 2nd time around had no issues.

MANAGING SETTINGS/ADMIN
The interface and options the app provides is great for beginners. It was very easy for me to locate the Wi-Fi Mode type, Port Forwarding and Parental Controls for example. The Velop also features Device Prioritization, Guest Access and VPN setup. I really like the option to change Parental Control and Device Prioritization via the Devices list, which simply displays the computers, phones, tablets, etc that are currently connected to my network.

PERFORMANCE
I live in a 2200 Sq. Ft. house and I have a 200Mbps download and 40 Mbps upload package with Optimum. With just 1 node setup, I am able to get 150+mbps download/10 mbps upload in the rear 2nd story bedroom. I have tested other Wi-Fi mesh systems and did not get close to that speed with just 1 unit. My current connection to the Velop is also extremely stable. To get close to 100% throughput in all rooms the other 2 nodes seem to be required perhaps due to my house's walls and flooring material. As I moved around the house my iPhone's connection remained excellent so the hand-off process between nodes is seamless. There is an option to find optimal wireless channels by utilizing an auto search feature.

Connect your external wireless devices to the internet with this Linksys dual-band router.

This Linksys dual-band router has a sleek design that integrates easily into most workspaces.

3 out of 5Excellent Range. Simple to Manage. OK speed.
By NYY0420A
My first thought upon opening the router's box and removing the contents was one of simplicity and ease. The good feelings continued on as I plugged in all my network connections and powered on the WRT AC3200. It was a breeze to set up and all I needed was the included printed quick start guide.
Build quality feels nice and it does not feel heavy when I hold the router in my hands but I do find the overall shape to be bulky.
The Linksys settings screen has a simple to navigate and clean user interface. I had no trouble tweaking wireless options, checking for firmware updates or changing the router password.
This router has the best range of all the routers I have ever used in my house. We have a 2200 Sq. Ft. house so it was important that signal coverage and wall penetration all around are excellent. I am getting 4 bars in the wireless indicator as opposed to 3 bars before. Link speeds are higher.
Wireless connection speed is not as fast as my previous router. I have a 109 MBPS Internet connection and I am getting anywhere from 70-90 MBPS on average on the second floor with the Linksys via 802.11AC while my previous router's output was about 109 using 802.11AC as well. Every speed test seems to show slower or faster speeds while my network is under zero load other than the speed test. Establishing a wireless connection to the router is not as fast as I would like and sometimes it has trouble connecting. Wired connections like my Xbox One or OOMA seem more on par and first floor wireless speeds seemed fine.
It comes down to wireless performance here as I am not getting speeds close to what I am supposed to and sometimes when I lose my wireless connection it isn't always quick to re-establish a connection. My hope is since this router came out this year (2016) there is still ample time to improve performance via Linksys firmware updates, WRT or DD-WRT patches.
PROS: Easy Setup and Installation.
Good Build Quality.
Simple to navigate UI.
OpenWRT and DD-WRT support.

REVIEW UPDATE: 100% throughput now!
October 24, 2016
In my previous review I had issues with wireless performance on my 2nd floor. Those issues have been resolved by moving my desktop's wireless adapter to a better location and changing the 2.4 GHZ and 5 GHZ frequencies to fixed channels. I have a 200 MBPS connection from Optimum and I am not getting that speed throughout my house. I have had great performance with past Linksys products and have not used them in a few years and I am glad to be back with them again. The router is still a little pricey for my tastes but with some tweaking after installation I can now recommend this router to everyone who is looking for top wired and wireless performance!
Change from 3 STARS TO 5 STARS!

Does it come with a remote control.
No remote. I have three of these clock radios in my house and absolutely love them. Great price and design. Very good sound. It will be hard to find a remote for something this good at less than $100.

Can you charge a laptop
The clock radio only allows charging via its rear USB port. It is meant to charge phones mainly or even tablets. Any device that can charge via USB would work fine but a laptop requires charging via a wall adapter.
