Nice feel, compact and solid feel

Verified Purchase:Yes
This replaces a mouse that was a little bigger but had a plastic feel and the buttons would not hold well with a drag select (bad for working with Excel documents)
This mouse has a nice solid feel, accurate movement, and hold a grad select very well.
I don't use a lot of the features or buttons because I just need a mouse that works. This mouse works well.
One star off because it wasn't seen by my work laptop (Windows 7 Professional), but the low profile dongle works very well.

Mouse works very well, keyboard is not too bad

Verified Purchase:Yes
There are very few ergonomic wireless keyboards out there, so I decided to try this one. The price is pretty good, and I needed a wireless keyboard/mouse combination.
The mouse is very comfortable to use. It has a solid feel to it, very accurate during use in Windows 7, and is just a nice mouse.
The keyboard works well, but I am not fond of the feel of the keys. I am used to having a little more firmness in the keys. With that said, the keyboard does have a nice layout, and I just need to get used to how the keys feel.

Great Sound, ANC not the best, Comfortable headset

Verified Purchase:Yes
I have big ears, so trying to find a good over the ear bluetooth headphones is hard.
I decided to try these headphones, They were on sale. I spent 1/2 hour in the store with a pair of these on to gauge how they would feel.
The first pair I purchased, had some weird vibration in the left ear. I brought them back and got a replacement pair. The second pair worked as good as I expected.
The sound of them are great. I listen to talk radio, and also Classic Rock on Apple Music, and the headphones range for everything is very nice. The volume is the easiest that I have had. I previously had 3 different bluetooth headsets at work and they all had hard to use volume controls, but these are very easy to use.
Everything I have read, these are suppose to have Noise Cancelation, but there are times where I can hear people talking 10 feet away. This doesn't seem to happen all the time, but when it happens it seems to be in the background, but it is noticeable. I need to do more research to see if I need to do something. This is why I give it only 4 stars. I would give it 4,5 stars if I could.

Better than I thought
on June 2, 2017
Posted by: Curtterp

Verified Purchase:Yes
I already own an Apple Watch that I base my physical activity with, however, the wellness rewards program does not use the active minutes from the Apple Watch but they do use the active minutes from any fitbit device. The active minutes are easier to max out the activity points than just steps.
So after talking with a few of my coworkers and having some reward points to sue, I purchased this Charge 2.
Downloading and setting up the fitbit app on my iPhone was a snap. It took me a couple of tries to get the charger to fit on the device correctly, but once I got the hang of it, it is easy.
I wear both of them at work and when I exercise. I have to do a lot of walking at work to get to meetings, so I get a lot of steps in just in the normal activity of my job. The heart rate monitor between devices are almost never more than a couple of beats per minute either way. The activity minutes are pretty close, once I get past the 10 minute minimum requirement of the fitbit. The steps are close during normal walking, but the fitbit is a little more sensitive when I am mowing the lawn or shopping for groceries. However, when I mow the lawn, the fitbit auto activity thinks that I am doing an outdoor bike ride, not mowing the lawn. it is easy to change the activity, so I just have to remember to change it.
The fitbit will not replace my Apple Watch, but until the wellness rewards program uses the Apple Watch activity minutes, I will continue to use the fitbit in conjunction with my Apple Watch. It works for what I need it to do.
If you are only looking for an activity tracker, I recommend this device vs the Apple Watch because of the price.

Apple hit home run with their watch series 2

1- Longer battery life - The original watch would sometimes run out of power at the end of the day. I have not seen my series 2 watch go under 20% charge, even on my 20 hour days
2 - Brighter screen - The screen is easier to use even in bright sunlight
3 faster - The series 2 watch is much faster with the original load and updates for the watchOS
I have been impressed with the watch all around.

Solidly Built, easy to assemble

This mount works well with my 42" Samsung smart tv. I was able to assemble the bracket for the back of the tv, put the mount to the wall and it was pretty easy to mate the bracket to the mount.
You have to MAKE SURE that you have the lag bolts in the stud in the wall. That will save you the headache of having the TV falling off the wall.

After trying a third party adapter, that did NOT work, I took it back and bought this one.
It works very well.
Moral of the story is do not try to save 2 dollars on a third party adapter, just buy the Apple adapter and have it work out of the box.

Verified Purchase:Yes
This product works with my Windows Desktop, but I purchased it for my Mac Mini which is did not work at all.
If I would have been paying more attention, I would have gotten the Apple USB C to VGA adapter with works with the thunderbolt port. It was my own fault for trying to use this product.
The 2 star rating was only because it didn't work the way I wanted it to work.

How much disk space and is it SSD?

iPads do not have disk drives, they have NAND flash, which is the same technology as an SSD, but it is on the motherboard, not in an encapsulated drive enclosure.

There are 3 different storage sizes, 64gb, 256gb, and 512gb.

Each one has a different price point.

will fitbit pair up with mac OS X

Fitbit does not provide a program to sync a device for macOS. There are a couple of programs in the Mac app store, but they are not free.

the value of the fitbit app is to sync to fitbit dashboard. There is no other reason to sync to any computer otherwise

how do i update my "track exercise" - the first week i had my charger 2 it filled in 5 lines until my 5 day week was complete. I do not know how to reset this feature. I would also like to adjust the icon to a seven day week. Thanks

The 5 day tracker resets on Sunday. I work out every day of the week, so by Saturday Night, it shows 7 of 5 days. On Sunday Morning, it shows 0 of 5 days.

Enjoy crystal-clear conversations via your Bluetooth-enabled device using this Plantronics Voyager Legend SE 87300-13 headset, which allows you to use voice commands to take calls. Silicone eartips in multiple sizes help ensure comfortable wear.
 

any improvements since it came out in 2012 ?

I realize this has been an award winning bluetooth for 4 years, but has there been any technological advances for this particular headset since it came out ? I bought this model 3 years ago. Am I buying the same bluetooth again? It looks like it has the same specs as 4 years ago.
I replaced my older Voyager headset with this one recently. Although the specs are about the same, the battery is a lot better than the older one, since battery capacity goes down after a while.

Does it stream audio from your phone?

The basic Legend 87300-01 specifically says you can stream audio in the main product details. This statement and questions about the audio streaming are conspicuously missing from the info on the Legend SE 87300-13. Everything I read says they are the same, except the 87300-13 has a few more features. I have an 'antique' Voyager that has never streamed music.
Yes it does stream music from my iPhone. I listen to ESPN radio every morning when I go to work.

It comes with a SIM for Verizon. If you want to change carriers, you would need a SIM for that carrier.
