Comfortable, Good Sound and Battery

I was looking for a set of wireless headphones to use on the go that would have good sound, battery that lasts more than 2 hours, and can stay on while being active.
Sound: They sound good, definitely more so for modern music, good bass but not overwhelming, nice mids and high. They don't have the depth that some higher end headphones would have, but you're also not paying $100+ for them so would say they are good for the money.
Battery: Lasts a lot longer than I thought it would. My first set, almost a year in, would still hold at least 6-8 hours of actual playtime with a good amount of standby time in that as well. Recharge is pretty quick too.
Connectivity: They are really easy to pair, but they do have a tendency to sometimes skip a little bit. It's neither here nor there, but it gets annoying at times. Definitely not enough to be a deal-breaker though.
Comfort: They have a couple different size buds that come with, and they actually manage to stay in the ear much better than I thought, even when moving around a lot and quickly. The only complaint is the part that hangs around the neck doesn't like to stay put and so you have to keep correcting/adjusting it if you're doing a lot of quick actions.
Overall, fantastic headphones for the money. You can definitely find some better, and there are a few issues, but nothing that would stop me from getting another set.

Fantastic PC out of the box.

I initially bought the Asus ROG and after switching to this one, I don't see a single reason to go back.
Cons:
- The keyboard and mouse are fairly cheap, but they don't advertise them as anything special so I don't ding it for that.
-A little more pricey than similar PC's that are available via online from BestBuy.
Pros:
-The SSD is quick and HDD gives plenty of storage for whatever else you need.
-The 1070 is astounding at running anything I throw at it.
-Gives you a lot of control and information about everything the PC is doing. From customizing the colors on the box, to telling you all the temps and when you want the fans to kick up to keep it running cooler.
-It's surprisingly quiet.
It's great out of the box, I would absolutely buy it again.

ASUS ROG G20CB Desktop: Stay productive with this Asus desktop PC. With 16GB of RAM and an Intel Core i7 processor housed in a deceptively small 9.5L case, this machine is built for performance. The NVIDIA GeForce GTX graphics let you feel like you just stepped into the game with this Asus desktop PC.

Decent, but not much more than that.

I was debating between buying or building a PC, and knew the limitations that would come with a pre-built PC. One of which is that you get what you buy and if you want to add anything, be prepared to lose your warranty.
In the box, it's packed nicely and initial impression is pretty good. Looks nice and sleek, compact, and sturdy. The dual power cable and transformers are a bit annoying, but I knew that before buying it so not taking away any stars for that. The mouse and keyboard are quite average, but they aren't advertised as anything special, though the volume control knob is actually pretty nice and feels solid.
The issues began when I started it up. I knew it had a HDD but thought that with a 7200 RPM one, it should still be okay, It wasn't. I was baffled why it was performing so slowly. It crashed twice during initial updates. Programs would take quite a long time to open. I knew it didn't have an SSD when I bought it but it constantly felt overwhelmed with even minor tasks.
Otherwise the 1070 is a great card, and I have another PC with the 6700 so I know it's capable of running everyday tasks with great efficiency, I may have had one of the duds that other people mention or perhaps too high of expectations but I ended up returning because for a slightly higher price, you can get a PC with a SSD as well as a HDD and save a lot of headache, as well as the newer I7.

Good, but not Great.

Bose, a brand name that most people can recognize when it comes to audio. I was looking for a more comfortable set of headphones for traveling that still had quality sound and figured that for the price and name, these would fit the bill. My comparisons come from a variety of previously owned headphones, but most recently the B&W C5 S2.
First off, the active noise cancellation. It really does work amazingly well. I can't say that there are really any faults with that. Had a couple of 8-11 hour flights and they almost took you out of the noise completely, probably a 90% reduction of your general engine and chatter noise. The box is a little cumbersome but nothing you can't manage and the battery life is phenomenal, I would say I got my 12+ hours per charge out of it.
Now the part that left me a little disappointed and wanting more. The sound quality itself. Don't get me wrong, it sounds better than I would say your average set of headphones that come with your phone. But the richness and clarity that you experience with some of their home products, well that wasn't there. It's a very unoffensive sound, if that makes sense. It's good at all ranges, but doesn't shine anywhere. Now I don't mean heavy bass like Beats, don't care for that. The lows are mild and unobtrusive, but meddled. The mid's are fine enough, but if you listen to anything with a variety of instruments and sounds, they all blend together, not in a sweet harmony, but as if it were just a single entity. The high's are in the same category.
They are definitely comfortable though, wore them for 8+ hours straight and only felt a little soreness that quickly dissipated by taking them out for 10 minutes. The seal is about 95%, I couldn't really get one side without twisting it a bit which kind of led to the discomfort after a few hours. Overall, much more comfortable for long trips than the B&W C5.
All that said, if you want good sound, phenomenal noise cancellation and surprisingly good comfort, these might be worth the cost. But if you care more about the quality of sound than perhaps the ANC, I would look elsewhere.

Amazing sound, decent fit.

So this has been my third set of headphones in the span of half a year and I am blown away with the quality.
Pro:
-The sound quality is very rich, sometimes it is heavier on the bass and becomes over-powering, but it's only been more noticeable with the metal genre. Otherwise, the high's are perfect and the mid's leave nothing to be desired.
-The build quality feels fantastic. No cheap plastic feel or low quality rubber inserts.
-They stay in quite well, I have used them in normal daily walking, as well as at the gym and they have yet to fall out.
Cons:
-They would be much better with tangle-free wires. It's slightly a nuisance to have to keep unraveling them when you set them down for a little while.
-The loops to secure in the ears don't stay the set size as well as you would hope. They stay in well enough but sometimes feel loose. May have been better with ones that you can swap, though being able to adjust on the go has some perks.
Overall, after using various Sony, Klipsch, Beats and other odd brands, these are my favorite thus far. The overall sound quality for a huge variety of music is crisp and clean and does not sound distorted. While the fit isn't perfect with the loops getting loose, they stay in quite well and I am very pleased with the C5 S2 headphones.
4.5/5 would be a more accurate option.
