Good bluetooth speaker, for not a lot of money
on July 26, 2015
Posted by: Kira
Verified Purchase:Yes
Not much can say about this speaker that is negative. I mean I really like it, and I don't particularly care for playing music loudly as I have sensitive hearing as it is. This speaker though is great, it gives a nice deep tone when it needs, and a nice mid-tone, but if you are treble heavy it can sound cheap, but I prefer to not play anything with a lot of treble. The charging feature may be practical for some, since this pretty much blocks the wall socket, but I've yet to use it. The only issue I have is turning it on and off. You have to press and hold on the power button for it to turn on, press and hold too long it goes into Bluetooth setup mode. Same applies to turning it off :(

The Essential Gaming HeadsetGames sound better and your commands and calls are clearly heard with the signature Plantronics audio in the Plantronics® GameCom 308 headset. Long playing sessions are more comfortable wearing these soft earpads, but don't stop with gaming-this headset does it all-listen to music, movies and podcasts, and make online calls in comfort and great sound.

Great headphones for 2 or 3 hours of use at a time
on July 26, 2015
Posted by: Kira
Verified Purchase:Yes
While this review is a quickie, I'll make note of a few things here. The head set is good for moderate gaming use. It'll hurt your ears after about 2 or 3 hours though. The voice chatting on Skype, TeamSpeak 3, mumble, Ventrilo, and other programs has a slight issue. There is a little static on the line to others, but I didn't get most commenting on it. I'd recommend this to casual and moderate gamers, but if you're a hard core MMO player that plays for 8 or more hours a day. Then these aren't for you, unless you are okay with going for long periods of time with the headphones off. If you fall into the category of a gamer that needs the headset on for more than 2 or 3 hours, then I'd recommend looking into around the ear headphones and not these on the ear headphones.

Great for a gamer that uses Steam
on July 14, 2015

Verified Purchase:Yes
I prefer using Steam cards, not only for the double points that you get if you're a Best Buy club gamer... but also because its an easier way of ensuring you don't go spending crazy when the Steam sales happen. Bank up the Steam wallet funds and when the Steam sale happens, you'll have more than enough to buy most games without having to hit the credit cards...

Great tablet for 3 to 9 year olds.

Brought this for a friend of the family's daughter. We wanted something different from the green that we had gotten for the boys. And though it took a while to find it going from one Best Buy store to another looking for it. We eventually found this at a local Best Buy store. It makes the perfect gift.
Easy to set up too... and she enjoys it taking it everywhere with her.

Good to have in case of issues showing up
on July 5, 2015

Verified Purchase:Yes
I got this after reading about a monitor that I was purchasing as having a 20 to 30% chance of issues occurring within the first two years of owning it. It was cheap to purchase and they will either fix or replace the monitor for a monitor of roughly the same cost of this one at the time of purchase what the Best Buy Representative said to me when helping me choose the monitor I was looking for. I hope I don't ever need to use this though, but at least its there :)

Prefect to create a backup drive from an old HDD
on July 5, 2015
Posted by: Kira
Verified Purchase:Yes
This dock I had heard of before but never thought I was going to get it. Then I saw how many HDD drives I've laying around "so to speak" and decided to get this and put those old hard drives to use. It basically allows you to reuse your old or new or even to copy files over from a computer's HDD to an SSD or to another HDD easily. My only regret is not getting the dual slot version, but then I didn't really need it. So this was the most cost effective version and way cheaper than buying a new external hard drive to do the exact same thing when you have additional drives laying around your home.

Great monitor for Graphics designers & programmers
on July 5, 2015
Posted by: Kira
Verified Purchase:Yes
The monitor is pretty good... NOTE: The monitor has variable response rate, not to be confused with frame rate. The response rate at faster or fastest can run almost anything you're doing nicely. And unlike other displays, I've found that I can achieve true black "a dark black" color from this monitor. I've had gaming monitors that weren't able to achieve a true black color. Because of this I recommend this for anyone that is doing video editing, graphics design and programming work. If you are wanting a monitor that is more useful to those professions and are willing to do with 60Hz framerate, this is the perfect monitor for that. However, if all you do is gaming and want the fastest framerate possible this isn't the best monitor for that. I chose this monitor over a gaming monitor specifically because of the color accuracy and the size of the monitor in 1080p that makes text large enough to prevent you from straining your eyes to see whatever you are typing on the screen.

Extremely reliable PSU
on July 5, 2015
Posted by: Kira
Verified Purchase:Yes
I've had Thermaltake power supplies in the past. If it wasn't for keeping that power supply in another tower I wouldn't have brought this one. Thermaltake makes good reliable power supplies that at least my 850W one in my old system has not had any issues with it. I've been using this 650W power supply now for about a month. It hasn't had any issues and doesn't get that hot. Only drawback I have is that I didn't think about what graphics cards I wanted to run in my system, but I use GTX 980 single card in my system and this is more than enough power for it.

When it comes to how you spend your free time, you choose to travel through the universe, fight in epic battles, save planet Earth, protect your comrades and immerse yourself in whatever distant worlds that gaming brings to your fingertips. On-screen visuals have become so lifelike, it's easy to forget that you're not there, taking down a hostile alien race or engaging in an intense gunfight. But the final touch to take you deep into the game, to really become immersed and engrossed, is sound. When you experience powerful audio, it gives you a sense of depth that you can't get from a TV screen or monitor. You can hear the footsteps of enemy soldiers creeping up behind you. You can pinpoint from which direction that explosion came. You can use another one of your senses to help you stay alive, save the planet and achieve victory. The Carcharias Gaming Headset for Xbox 360 and Windows brings the power of sound to your game for an experience you won't soon forget.When you sit down for a gaming session, it's easy to get lost in other worlds and hours can pass in a minute. Ear fatigue can become a problem, especially when you've come to rely on your hearing to keep you alive. The circumaural design of the Carcharias Headset was created with comfort in mind for extended use. During strategy discussions with teammates before a round or when you're shouting out orders during intense battles, it can be important for you to be able to clearly communicate. The adjustable voice and game volume balance allows you to place the emphasis where it matters. Whether you're gaming on your Xbox 360 or your PC, the Carcharias Headset brings you the features that provide depth to your gaming soundscape and allow you to command in comfort. So go ahead — dive into the action.

Good headphones, but needs a USB port to power it
on July 2, 2015
Posted by: Kira
Verified Purchase:Yes
This headset has a great mic, and great sound, but its 2.1 so don't expect true surround sound. But the issues with this are a bit great...
The headphones are comfortable, and if you have like a big wild hairstyle, it might get a bit uncomfortable because it seems to want to slide off your head or cause you to sweat a bit around your ears at times.
However, the major issue I have is that my system is only 5 feet from me. The cable for these headphones is about 15 feet. I mean literally there is an excess length of cable. And oh...
Big issue... you have to use 1 USB port to even use the headphones. I was expecting them to run even without the USB port, but that's not working. You have to have one free USB port to plug this into to power the headphones... Otherwise it don't work at all...
I'd recommend this to anyone that wants to have a microphone that doesn't breakup after like 2 hours of use on TeamSpeak. But I can't recommend this to anyone that doesn't have a free USB port near their system's headphone and microphone port. I dislike that feature of these headphones and its the only reason I'm not giving this a 5 out of 5 stars.

Greatest Mechanical Keyboard I've used yet. :)
on July 2, 2015
Posted by: Kira
Verified Purchase:Yes
First, a background of me. I almost always used a membrane keyboard before. I also said I wouldn't get this keyboard after trying out the 710+ mechanical keyboard. I did however get it to try it out and was scared that it only had one wrist rest. Well... It has two wrist rests so I use the bigger wrist rest because I have to use this keyboard for course work and my programming development work. It's perfectly designed for typing when you use the bigger wrist rest.
However, unlike other mechanical keyboards like the G710+ and the Razer keyboards, this keyboard is almost as quiet as my old membrane keyboards are. In fact, its easy to mistake this for a membrane keyboard and fully depress the keys because you don't fully feel the actuation of the switch in the keys. However, when you're in an MMO or PVP situation and need to be thinking rapidly with quick flinches for reflects. This keyboard SHINES! It actually seems like it can keep up with anyone that is trying to play a game at like "superman" level of reaction time.
However, the RGB LED lights are the best I've seen yet on any keyboard because they don't have much light that hits the bottom of the keyboard, but almost all the light shines through the key lettering. It is even able to be colored all sorts of colors and replicate almost any flag out there if that's what you want to do. I don't like the rainbow effect because it is just a bit annoying but a static color or star effect is nice.
Well, nothing is ever perfect... ARX Dock is not included but is FREE from iTunes App Store for iPhone or iPad... if you use iPad, don't even try to use the Dock that is on here. The dock isn't actually powered. Its just a stand to hold your phone.
ARX is actually a program that monitors your system's CPU, memory, and GPU. However, it can if games support it, run things like health and so forth from that. I haven't found any games that I play that support it yet.
The other issue with ARX is that its hard to set it up. I had to go into my Firewall and allow the computer's firewall to let Logitech Gaming Software be accessible to the public on my network. Your network will still be secure if its behind a router, but your ARX data will be visible to anyone on your particular network and that links to your ARX control center within the Logitech Gaming Software. That's good, but I had to learn how to use ARX on my own, it wasn't discussed in the documents that came with the keyboard nor on Logitech's website... But its not hard to use and shouldn't be a deciding factor on buying nor not buying this product.
If you can, I'd recommend going to the store to hear how quiet the keys are, because this keyboard isn't as loud as other mechanical keyboards and the RGB LED lighting effects make it well worth the money. And oh, because it uses switches instead of the membrane, its a keyboard that will last you a long time thankfully.

It it possible to get the WASD indents and ridges for an ESDF configuration?
Not that I know of, I've only seen this on the WASD and up, down, left right, scroll arrows. I've not even seen a version of that you speak of on Logitech's website either :(

With Dynamic Super Resolution (DSR) technology, this EVGA GeForce GTX 970 04G-P4-3979-KB graphics card allows you to experience the smooth images and vivid detail of a 4K monitor on a 1080p resolution display.
Can I get the price difference and free game?
I purchased this GPU in store on 3/12/15. Am I able to go to my local Best Buy and get the price difference and the free game code? I no longer have my receipt.
Are you a Best Buy Reward card member?
If so log into the website and you should have the receipts in your purchase history. At least I had mine emailed to me and there on the purchase history too.
