Experience better accessibility with this RCA four-device streaming remote. Extra-large buttons make selecting channels and setting functions a breeze. This remote allows you to control up to four devices at once.

Mostly Functional / Weak Backlight

One of the good things for me was it allowed basic functions for my Charter-Spectrum/Cisco cable box. I've never had a universal remote that would. But...detailed actions, like confirming actions (the 4 color buttons on Charter remotes) were not available.
Setting up the LG TV and a pretty dated Sony surround sound system went smoothly, but again, controls only basic functions, not detailed actions. Saw no way to control my Playstation, which I didn't expect and is no real biggie, but would have been cool.
Finally...the backlight is pretty terrible. It doesn't light the top row (TV, Cable, DVD, Audio) at all. Neither does it light the next row down (Options, Menu, Clear). It does light up pretty well the block of 6 standard control keys (FFWD, Pause, Play, etc.) as well as the 9 number and function keys at bottom of remote. The "up" volume and channel key is lit, but the "down" is not.
It may all sound kinda nit-picky, but combine the awkward lighting set-up with a very dim backlight, it seems like a pretty dumb design. It will work and as I got this with a $20 reward certificate, it was worth what I paid.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Sounds Great, Looks Cool, Clips Anywhere

Love the sound and portability of this speaker. I have (2) of the iHome Pop-Up extra bass speakers and this thing blows them away. As I am frequently on the move at work, being able to clip it onto my backpack and listen to my music and podcasts is awesome. Well designed and sturdy, it even has a standard plug so you can use without Bluetooth (rolled up and clipped on back of unit). Not too heavy and has a nice rubbery feel and button response.
As a speaker phone, the mic seems sensitive enough, party on the other side said it sounded very clear. That's a nice extra for me, but it's main function is speaker for my iPhone and it delivers. It has a pretty standard five hour battery life with an hour-ish charge time.
What's great about it: Sound Quality, Portability
What's not so great: No Carry Pouch Provided
I would recommend this to a friend!
