Great Lense!

This is a great lens and the quality is excellent! The only thing is that it took a few shots to get used to being a fixed zoom lens, with me having to move forward or backward as needed. But, once I got the hang of this, no issues at all.
Overall the lens feels very high quality, this one having a metal ring vs. the plastic on it's predecessor. Small and compact as well, which is nice. Plus, for the price, you really can not go wrong. This is a no-brainer to add to your lens inventory!

Love Alexa!

I have a couple of these as well as a couple of the larger full Echo's. Outside of the speaker quality, which is far superior in the Echo vs. the Dot, the functionality is the same. I put one of these in my bedroom and one in the basement gym so I can listen to music and control lights. I have a fire TV and two of my rooms and you can control that with the Dot. While the control aspects are not perfect, it does make it a little difficult to specify certain episodes (I'm still learning so this could very possibly be me doing something wrong).
In total, this is great. If you listen to a lot of music you should get the bigger version as the speakers are much better. If you are going to hook this up to a bluetooth speaker or sound bar (as I did in one room) then save your money and get this. The functionality is great and controls my devices and smart home items perfectly. I also love being able to set an alarm for the morning and and it wake me up with a specific song (that I specify when setting the alarm).

Interact with Alexa anywhere in your home with the Amazon Echo Dot voice-controlled device. The compact size is a perfect fit in any room, and the built-in speaker lets you set an alarm or stream music. The Amazon Echo Dot voice-controlled device plugs into your home stereo speakers or connects wirelessly through Bluetooth.

Love this item!

Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this for my daughter for her Birthday. Since I had this model for myself already, and I knew she loves to listen to music, paying extra for this over the Dot was a no-brainer. She loves it so far for playing music and controlling a few plugs (also bought her a few smart plugs).
On a side, and somewhat evil, note, since she set this up under the same account as mine, I did enjoy messing with her and her roommate by turning on and off the plugs (which controlled some lights in her apartment) from the app.
On a serious note, I do vastly enjoy on mine being able to control the lights or adjust the thermostat from the Alexa app while I am away. If I forget to turn off some light I can check from the app to see if they are on and turn them off. I look forward to purchasing more smart home products so I can do this with all my lights!

I bought this for my house while they were on sale in December. I debated on paying extra for this over the dot but I'm glad I did. The sound that comes out of this is great and on par with some other bluetooth speakers we purchased (one from bose and one from JBL). At first I wasn't sure what all I would do with it but I do occasionally ask it questions which, for the most part, Alexa answers with no issues. I also bought a Nest thermostat and some smart plugs. Now I am in love with just being able to tell Alexa to turn things on and off! I look forward to, someday, having a fully smart home!

Great Headphones

Verified Purchase:Yes
I will say that I love bose headphones and always buy this brand. I've tried others over the years and always come back to Bose. I like the sound better and also the amount of base is perfect.
It was time to go wireless this year and so, of course, I looked right to Bose. I was worried these might look bulky in my ears but, after having for awhile, they look fine. They are comfortable to wear and don't fall out easy, whether I am running, weight lifting or any other activity.
The sound is excellent, they are comfortable to wear, and I haven't had a single problem with the connection to my phone, watch or ipad. Great product!

Excellent Addition to non-smart TV
on October 2, 2017
Posted by: mrc73
from St. Louis, MO
Verified Purchase:Yes
I purchased this for my daughter who just went away for college. I had tried another device but had problems with it. Went to Best Buy and picked up one of these. Got back to her apartment and had it setup in no time. She was able to stream all the popular sites. Also, this thing is fast so no annoying delays between the time you push something on the remote and when the action takes place on the screen. This will display 4K but the TV it's hooked up to is only 1080p, so I can't speak to how that works. For regular HD content, though, this works great!

Great Charger, plus an extra battery!

Verified Purchase:Yes
Bought this before going on vacation. I didn't like having to charge the battery inside the GoPro. I needed an extra battery anyway and it was great this came with one. The charger works great and charges two batteries at the same time. Each side of the charger has a status light that lets you know if it's charging or finished. So far so good!

Great system!

I love this system. I waited outside for about an hour before Christmas and finally was able to get one. It was well worth it. Only down side is that is comes only with one controller and that controller has a VERY short cord. I initially just used a long HDMI cord but has since purchased wireless controller. My whole family enjoys playing this! I also love the fact that it looks really good on my Sony 4K TV.

Switzerland

I know that Swiss plugs are different than the rest of Europe. Will it work in Switzerland?
Yes, there are multiple plug options with this. I used it myself in Switzerland a few months back and it worked perfectly.

will the sound bar work with netflex and hulU?
Yes, at least the way I have it setup. I have the soundbar setup via optical to my Sony X850c TV and it allows sound to come through perfectly.
