Great sound in a small package
on October 2, 2016
Posted by: jsisko76
I have been using these for the past couple of days and am very impressed. Pairing, as with most bluetooth devices, was quick and easy. The default silicone tips fit well in my ear but Bose provides two other sizes to ensure a fit for everyone. I was able to complete a grocery shopping trip and mow my lawn without them falling out so they are well designed for stability.
While they are not noise-cancelling, I was able to listen to a podcast at reasonable volume while using an electric lawnmower. I wouldn't expect to be able to hear over a gas mower, however. Sound quality was excellent, as you would expect from Bose.
Battery life seems great, considering how small they are. I went from 80% to 60% after using them for about 2 hours. When you turn them on you are audibly told what the battery life is at which is a Bose feature that I love. They come with a nice carrying case that takes up very little space (pictured next to an iPhone 5 for scale) when you are packing them up for travel.
Bose provides a free app that you can use these headphones with that will allow for heartbeat tracking, which is just one more bonus feature.
Overall, I am very happy with these earphones and look forward to using them for years to come.

Excellent all-purpose laptop
on September 30, 2016
Posted by: jsisko76
This is the 3rd Acer laptop I have used over the past decade and they keep getting better.
I'll start with the 2 in 1 abilities. You can use it as a regular laptop or fold the screen all the way back to put it in tablet mode. It auto-detects when you fold the screen back to change modes which is very convenient. If you don't want to go full tablet mode you can fold the screen back part way and set it up as a tent (see photo). This provides a stable and convenient set-up for watching videos with the family,
8 gigs of RAM allow for all the multitasking you may need, the 1 TB hard drive provides more than enough space for file storage, and the i5 processor is snappy. Battery life is advertised at 8 hours. After 1 hour of heavy use and playing video I was at 80%, so 5 hours may be more realistic. The back-lit keyboard is another great feature and this is my first device that comes with a USB type C port which I am excited about.
My only dislike for this 2 in 1 laptop is the glossy screen. I prefer a matte screen to limit reflections but I am not going to take a star away for personal preference.
Overall, this is an extremely functional and affordable laptop that will meet any needs that I have.

These headphones were a purchase for my 5 year old. They fit her head well and don't get too loud so that I don't have to worry about hearing damage. The Avengers tie-in is nice, as all kids love super heroes!

Works Well

Verified Purchase:Yes
I already own one of these and am buying a second as a gift. These things make it easy to enjoy quesadillas at home. I like to buy fajita meat, saute some red pepper and onion in olive oil, then build my own quesadillas with some shredded cheese. This device provides the perfect amount of crispiness, and it only takes 5 minutes after you have the lid closed.
Well worth an impulse buy!

Easy Set-Up and Great Wi-Fi Coverage
on September 19, 2016
Posted by: jsisko76
This is a great Wi-Fi solution for those that need improved coverage in their home or a network capable of handling faster speeds. My ISP (Internet Service Provider) originally installed their router in one corner on the first story of my 2 story home. That has prevented me from getting strong Wi-Fi signals throughout my home and especially on the 2nd floor. Netgear's Orbi to the rescue!
I installed the primary Orbi router in a more central location on my first floor, running an ethernet cable behind my couch to my ISP router. I then installed the Orbi satellite on the 2nd story of my home in a convenient location. Pairing the Orbi router and satellite was simple and painless.
Once I had the devices paired I connected my laptop and checked browsing speeds. Web pages loaded as fast as they ever have. I then ran speed tests in every corner of each story of my home and found that I was getting maximum speed everywhere. This set-up really accomplishes what it sets out to do.
One bonus for the Orbi is that both the router and the satellite have 3 ethernet ports that you can hardwire devices to if you prefer that over wireless. That has provided me with 3 ethernet ports in my upstairs loft that I never had before in case I wanted to connect a non-wireless printer to the network or some other useful device.
The speeds this unit is capable of are advertised at 3Gbps. I don't have a need for that fast of a speed yet, but if I needed to stream 4k content over Wi-Fi in the future, I am all set!
I highly recommend the Netgear Orbi for taking your home network to the next level.

Multi-Functional to Suit Any Need
on September 14, 2016
Posted by: jsisko76
This is a handy device that is perfect for those that don't have a "smart" car with built in GPS and hands free features. It can do it all, from providing you turn by turn directions, to acting as a dash cam for filming your daily travels, to making hands free calls and text messages. I found it easy to import the contacts from my phone after pairing it over bluetooth.
There are two options to mount the device in your vehicle. It comes with a windshield mount or you can use an optional accessory that secures the tablet to your dash. I had some trouble aligning the glass mount perfectly due to the slope of my car's windshield, but eventually found an angle that worked. The mount is magnetic so it it is super easy to attach and detach the tablet for when you want to take it inside. Despite it being easy to attach and remove, it is still extremely stable and there is no worry of it falling off, which I was initially concerned with.
The unit comes with plenty of onboard storage (32GB) but you can add your own MicroSD card if you want to expand.
In summary, this device is well worth the price considering what is capable of. You can buy additional accessories if you would like to have a back-up cam connected or tire pressure monitors. Instead of buying a $15,000+ new car, this is a solid option to get the most of your current vehicle.

Decent 3rd Party Controller
on June 3, 2016
Posted by: jsisko76
from Cibolo, TX
Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this for my kids, hoping that it would be a sufficient controller for their purposes. They are young and would just be goofing off with some basic Xbox games so they didn't need one of the $60-70 high end controllers. This one suited those needs well. If it had the same comfort and precision as an official Xbox controller it would get 5 stars, but getting it on sale for less that half the cost as a regular controller is a great deal.

Great High-end Headphones

Posted by: jsisko76
This was the first set of Bose headphones I have ever used. I typically have not bought high-end electronics in the past but was thoroughly impressed with the quality difference and feel that these are well worth the extra cost.
What I liked:
- Great sound quality
- Noise canceling was fantastic
- A digital voice tells you the battery life when you turn them on
- Long battery life
- Can connect with Bluetooth or aux cable
- Comes with a nice, firm case to protect them when not in use
- They are lightweight and very comfortable

These headphones are well worth the extra cost from lesser known brands. You can't go wrong with Bose.

Solid Budget Tablet
on May 19, 2016
Posted by: jsisko76
I have been using this tablet for the past 48 hours. I have previously owned a Nexus 7 (1st gen) and an 8" Asus Zenpad. I measured this device against my experiences with those tablets.
Pros:
Easy set-up. Was up and running and had the tablet updated with latest software within 10 minutes.
Affordable. If you are on a budget, this is a great choice if you are just looking for basic functionality.
Functional for most applications. I streamed content (Netflix, HBO Go) without a problem. Worked flawlessly.
I also used this tablet to stream content to my Chromecast. Worked great!

Cons:
Resolution is not great, but sufficient. If this is your first tablet you might not even notice.
I had trouble running my favorite tablet game, Plants vs Zombies 2. It couldn't seem to handle the processing power needed and the game slowed down.

Will Enhance Your WiFi Range
on May 13, 2016
Posted by: jsisko76
I connected this extender to my Linksys EA9500 Max-Stream AC5400. The router itself was plenty powerful to cover all 2300 square feet in my house, but with this extender I have added range throughout my back yard.
Set-up was extremely simple, using the WPS button on my router.If you have spotty WiFi in your home or are just looking to extend your range for any reason, this is a solid option.

The A6G series. Proving that good things come in big packages too. Take your pick from 75”, 70”, 65”, 60”, 55”, 50” and 43” screens. For 4K UHD picture quality, in the perfect size for your space. With Android TV, you can discover 700,000+ movies and shows in one place. Ask Google to control your TV with your voice. And cast your photos, videos, and music from devices to your TV easily with Chromecast built-in™. Add to that Dolby Vision HDR and Auto Low Latency Game Mode. Or as we call it, a great looking TV.
Is this TV good for gaming?
Yes, I would say so! I have been using it with my Xbox One X for about a week now and it has been great for the games I play. What I've liked most is I can now read better for some games that have tiny text that was tough to see on smaller TVs.

Battery depletion depends on many things including your weight, what performance-mode you are in (sport uses the most juice), the terrain you are riding on, etc. But a max of 28 miles as advertised is possible, depending on those variables.

Asking the people that bought this mouse, have they fixed the wireless connection issues ??? Any software updates to address the problem ??? Thank you in advance.....
I didn't have any of these issues with mine, so it seems that the issue has been resolved. It may have just been a bad batch during their first production run.
