These are hand made by tiny dwarves in Creplockia. Unbelievable quality, they make my water taste like mountain spring water after it's been filtered through the lace of angel wings. Words can't describe my joy at finding these.

Good but not great

Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought these for use at work and liked them so much that I now use them for gaming instead. The sound is good but not great. The controls are located on the right ear piece, easy to use and intuitive. A bright red led built into the cable tells you when the mic is muted. I plugged these into my Windows 10 machine and they simply worked. No need to load drivers or do anything more. Windows 10 automatically routed 'communications' to the headset but I have to manually change over the system sound to the headset to switch from speakers for gaming.
The only negative I have is that these sit on your ears with a decent amount of pressure. Over time it becomes tiring. I would prefer larger cups that go around my ears but for the price and quality, this is a minor issue.

Find out who's at your door, even when you're away from home. Just connect the doorbell via Wi-Fi and use the Ring app on your iOS or Android device to interact with visitors, receive alerts and review footage.

Greatness always seems to have some flaws

Verified Purchase:Yes
I'm very happy with the ease of installation and operation - far easier than I imagined it could be. The app will walk you through every step. There are a couple of issues that caused me to drop the rating to average. You're out of luck if you want to store your video unless you buy into the monthly storage subscription. I'd much rather have the ability to store my video somewhere on my home network. Accessing the Ring through the Internet is spotty maybe 1/3 of the time. Sometimes the connection attempt will just hang without any time out or warning messages.
This is obviously a well thought out system and the convenience is fantastic. I'm ready to buy another for the back door.

Enjoy pleasant room-filling sound with this white Sonos One (Gen 1) speaker. It lets you control music hands-free when it's used in conjunction with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant built-in, and the midrange woofer and tweeter deliver deep bass and clear high-frequency vocals. This Sonos One speaker connects to your home Wi-Fi network for uninterrupted wireless streaming.

I wasn't sure what to expect when I picked this up at Best Buy's Black Friday sale. The built-in Alexa is short on features, missing Drop In and a few other minor items - expect basic functionality and you'll be happy. The sound is great for the size and the connectivity options are outstanding. I've linked this with all of my home automation systems with almost no issues. Setup happens through the app, which is just like having a helping hand at every step. Unfortunately, there's a ton of more advanced options available that you'll have to explore and learn about on your own. Now I'm waiting for the prices to drop again to pick up another one or two.

Surprising value

I searched for a solid performer to use in my office and this Samsung TV fit the bill perfectly. This smart TV brings all the features I needed to set this up as a cord-cutter; no cable TV or TV antenna attached. Everything comes in via downloadable app or DLNA and there's a ton of choices either way. The image quality is fantastic and the contrast shines with deep blacks and brilliant whites. The only downside are the 2 HDMI ports. I'd like to see 3 or 4 to give me more connectivity choices.

Much Better Than Expected

This is one of three antennas I purchased, the other 2 are the same brand but advertised as 50 and 60 mile antennas. The only difference I can see between this and the other two is the lack of an in-line amplifier. Otherwise, the physical antenna appears to be exactly the same.
That said, I had tried several other, much cheaper antennas with poor results. I figured I'd give this lower cost Mohu a try and then step up to the more expensive antennas if it worked. Amazingly, it worked very well. I went from 15 OTA channels to 30+ with the antenna placed in the same position. It think this antenna uses black magic to get such great reception. As I mentioned, it worked so well that I bought two more with greater advertised range.

My upstairs tv has the window that is nearby is the old wavey or leaded glass. The antenna I bought for that TV works better on the dowstairs tv. Upstairs there was a lot of static. The antenna was Mohu leaf mini, will the 30 go thru the glass better?
Only @ Best BuyEasily adapt an HDMI output to a DVI input with this adapter, so you have the right connections for your home theater system.
Can I run my Xbox 360 to my LG computer monitor with a DVI input with this?
Easy answer is to give it a try. If it doesn't work out, there'll be no harm done and you can return the adapter to Best Buy to get your money back.

I am attempting to use this adapter for converting HDMI from my PC tower to the DVI input on a monitor but it isn't working on either of my monitors.
You need to take a look at the connections on your devices and how DVI is implemented on the monitor. There are two major flavors of DVI: -I and -D. One carries RGB info while the other doesn't. Your monitor may use a DVI adapter but not really implement it other than grab the RGB signal. The user's manual will give you the best answer there.

DVI to HDMI ( without audio )
Can I use this adapter in the back of my Sat unit then run an HDMI cable to the receiver. I am hoping this will provide the video feed.
Hugh, this is a bit late but yes, it should do the trick without any problems.
