One of the best sounding bluetooth speakers

Bass, volume, and fullness of sounds at higher volumes.
Most bluetooth speakers automatically equalize the audio to have less and less bass as audio volume is tuned up in order to provide louder audio, less distortion, and generally a more pleasant experience. These speakers keep the bass and fullness going till almost at the top volume. Additionally, the bass extension is much deeper. This thing probably is clean and loud down to about 60hz or so, making most kick drums and bass really audible and not locking. Most bluetooth speakers roll off at moderate volumes well before 100hz-150hz or so.
Audio isn't perfect, and there are a couple of holes in the frequency response in what sounds like the 100hz region, but a very pleasant audio experience.
Note that this unit is somewhat large, and not easy to transport due to it's shape. Weighs quite a bit as well. When it is plugged into a power source to charge/play, audio output is MUCH better, as power to the 4 drivers inside is 15watts x 4 driver instead 7.5 watts x 4 drivers (as listed by HK).
Negatives: The stereo pairing of two units for true stereo audio requires the HK Connect App, and requires a lot of fidgeting to work each time. It is not consistent and can be frustrating to use the app as it sometimes requires several power off/on cycles of the speaker to get it to recognize properly with the app (have found you'll know it's properly recognized when the power level of each speaker is displayed in the app). The Sony XB series is definitely much more intuitive here and can do it all with the buttons, making it more future-proof.
When paired as a stereo pairs, where one unit is the left a speaker and one unit is the right, the audio and stereo separation are quite good.
Couple other notes, there is a power adapter that charges and/or provides power while playing. It is a separate power brick and power cord that plugs into a standard 110v household outlet, and then plugs into the speaker via a barrel plug at 19v DC. There is also a 3.5mm line input jack and another jack and that I haven't used. The speaker grill/cloth material doesn't seem like it'd be the most durable.
Audio occasionally stutters when changing or skipping tracks/songs manually, though if you pay a whole playlist it's hardly noticeable.

Enjoy a warm and crispy breakfast at home with this Bella Belgian waffle maker. The Healthy-Eco ceramic coating on the plates prevents food from sticking and burning, and the reinforced titanium design resists scratching and ensures lasting use. This 1000W Bella Belgian waffle maker rotates on its stand for even cooking.

Excellent value and results

Excellent value for the price paid. Results are good, with good waffles. Waffles come off cooking surfaces easy without the use of sprays, oils, etc. Can make the waffles crispy or soft depending on preference. Break them into fours easily with the deep quadrant grid lines. Unit heats up quickly, though waiting an additional minute or two before starting wouldn't hurt to ensure nice hot surface/plates.
Negatives: Difficult to wash. Cannot submerge in water. The cooking surface place do not detach from the unit as some more costly units, which is understandable at this price point. Cord is a bit short, probably around 2 feet, but makes for less 'clutter' when put away.
Do not know if it's a defect on this particular unit, but the "ready' light sometimes stays lit and will not turn off even when a new batch is started. Just look at the time and peak in there though to check on cooking status of batter.
Overall would recommend to someone who wants to try making waffles or doesn't make them more than once a week or two.

Good value and features for the money.

Nice compact footprint. Value adds include ability to stream Amazon Prime videos, Netflix, etc directly to the unit. Supports miracast without adapters. Digital audio out is coaxial and not optical. Power adapter is an external power brick that converts 110v AC household plug to 12v barrel plug which is good for anyone who wants to use this in a car, RV or any other items that supports 12v directly without using the power brick and inverter. Note this is not a standard barrel plug but one that has a center pin.
Negatives: The Bluray disc player is a bit slow on loading a disc to actually playing, and the UI when using for 'smart' functions or as a streaming box is laggy and not as responsive as one would hope. At price point, acceptable. Occasionally audio jumps or there is a slight dropout while playing certain discs. Not constantly but at several points in the movie. As long as Sony keeps updating the player and Bluray encryption keys so that it will work for future discs, will be happy. Had some Bluray players in the past from various manufacturers that didn't get updated and became useless for newer discs.

Even with its 12.9-inch Retina display, the largest and most capable iPad ever is only 6.9mm thin and weighs just 1.57 pounds. It has a powerful A9X chip with 64-bit desktop-class architecture, four speaker audio, advanced iSight and FaceTime HD cameras, Wi-Fi and LTE connectivity¹, iCloud, the breakthrough Touch ID fingerprint sensor, and up to 10 hours of battery life.² It also includes great apps for productivity and creativity, as well as many more incredible apps available in the App Store. And with powerful new features in iOS 9 like multitasking, iPad Pro can do things no iPad has done before.

Meh. Can do without. It's an in-betweener

Too big as a tablet to hold and transport comfortably in the hand. Works better with the Logitech keyboard case which has backlit keys than the Apple keyboard does not have backlit keys. Logitech keyboard also provides 360 protection. which the Apple keyboard case does not.
Big and large as a laptop when used with Logitech keyboard case. Macbook Air, MacBook, Lenovo X1 Carbon, all are smaller, lighter, with a better typing experience. The Lenovo Yoga is similar in weight when this is combined with the Logitech keyboard case, and maybe even smaller in size/footprint!'
Charges slow. Many apps are scaled. Most keyboard shortcuts from desktop versions of apps do not work and require you to take your hand off the keyboard and tap the screen.
Now the good. Excellent screen. Excellent audio with one of the best audio experiences of any tablet/laptop. Great for consuming media, and all day battery life.
For the right person, for the right task, this can be exxcellent. For all others, having a small tablet such as Pixel C or iPad Air/Mini and then a less costly laptop such as a Lenovo Yoga or similar convertible would be more productive at similar or less cost.
