WANTED to love these, but...
on November 25, 2017
Posted by: GCAL

Verified Purchase:Yes
They cut out constantly and you'll be lucky to get more than an hour, maybe 90 minutes of playtime before they abruptly shut off. Too bad because these showed so much promise on the style (non obtrusive), fit (comfortable and secure feeling), and sound (quite good!... when it works)... Maybe Sony will fix the really sloppy bluetooth implementation with firmware (or next gen). And the battery life is simply unacceptable regardless of the "totally wireless" design. File under: disappointed (and yes, I returned them.)

Slip this clear Lunatik Air case on your iPhone, and keep it safe from scratches and drops. The gas-filled air rails provide impact resistance in the event of a drop, and the raised beveled edge keeps your screen from cracking. An integrated camera ring on this Lunatik Air case lets you take pictures without obstruction.

Well made case. The material is a bit slippery though. And the additional bulk makes it just a bit too wide for my tastes

Great update for my Norelco shaver

Posted by: GCAL

Verified Purchase:Yes
This refill seems to fit quite a few models and I applaud Norelco's engineers for doing sol. I really like this new set of blades. It seems much smoother (and of course sharper) than the original. Since the shaver cost nearly $200 new, the nominal cost of this new head/blades is worth it.

A bit pricey and they do not seem to stay sharp as long as Norelco claims. But the shaver is otherwise nicely balanced and easy to maneuver. I now get the two pak blades from BB on auto ship.

Flashing Red light, even though it is on the charging cradle?

Just after a few weeks of operation, my Bose Soundlink Mini Bluetooth's power led started flashing red, even though it was on the charging cradle. I didn't think much of it, since I thought it was not seated correctly on the charging cradle, so I lifted it off the charging cradle, and re-seated it back on the cradle again. The same thing happened after another week of usage. I repeated the steps I did during the first instance, and called Bose Technical Support yesterday. They claim there is nothing wrong with the unit, and that the power led would first turn yellow before flashing red. I admit, I have not been staring at the unit all the while I use it, but I have never seen it display yellow. Bose Tech Support claims there is nothing wrong with it, but in my opinion having the same thing occur twice in a span of one month indicates that all is not right. Any advice in this regard would be helpful!
Assuming it currently works, try this: connect it to your usual source and let it play until it completely runs out of power and shuts itself off. Then put on the charging cradle, making sure everything is connected cleanly (including the little power adapter plug that goes into the side of the charging cradle). Let it charge fully (overnight, ideally). Then see how it is working. I have battery operated power tools that sometimes go through this (frustrating) loop. Sometimes this is all that is needed. These lithium ion batteries occasionally need to go through 'full' recharge cycles to keep them fresh.

will my bluetooth connection work with the mini link bluetooth speaker when i am visiting france?

i am traveling to paris and will have my iphone which has lots of music via spotify on it.
will i be able to use the mini portable to play my music via the iphone?
Absolutely! Bluetooth is not like cellular. The connection is local and direct between the speaker and your smartphone/tablet/laptop.

Just remember to bring the proper converter so you can charge it.

Why are the Aux, Mute and Bluetooth Lights blinking white when connected to AC and not charging?

The device was working fine, then stopped. I've charged it 12 hours, still won't turn on. Tried the Mute reset option, get the 3 blinking indicators and then nothing. The only response I get is when I plug it into AC power, the 3 lights go on and then turn off, and I hear static. What is going on!? Firmware update also tried, device isn't detected (aux button does nothing when pressed)
Sounds like a bad unit. Call Bose--their customer support is usually excellent. You must still be under warranty too so a replacement unit shouldn't be a problem. Mine , so far, had worked flawlessly. (And for a little speaker it sounds GREAT)

Easily remain in your target zone with help from this Garmin 010-10997-07 heart rate monitor that wirelessly transmits data to compatible devices for efficient tracking. The soft fabric strap promotes comfort and adjusts to ensure a secure fit.
 

Is this compatible with the garmin forerunner 15?

i don't know what features your forerunner has but I am assuming as part of Garmin's runner's series it does couple via ANT/Bluetooth to their own HR monitors. I demoed several of Garmin's current models before settling on the Fenix3. All of the units connected quickly and without any problem. Each model does 'pair' slightly differently however so make sure you read the forerunner instruction guide (easily downloaded from Garmin's website).
