Great addition to my Star Trek collection

Verified Purchase:Yes

This is probably my favorite Star Trek movie in the collection, and I enjoyed them all. Excellent plot, very action-packed, kept me engaged and enthralled at all times. The new cast has definitely grown on me. Haven't watched the Special Features yet, but there are many and they sound exciting. Blu-ray disc package also came bundled with a DVD of the Feature Film, as well as UltraViolet and iTunes digital copy. I haven't downloaded the DC yet, so I don't know if you only get one choice (typically they only allow one or the other, so choose the one you want most first). Package also included a BestBuy CinemaNow 30 minute exclusive that I have not yet seen. I would have preferred that this content be included as an additional bonus DVD (as BestBuy had done with past Star Trek series packages), especially since I'm not a CinemaNow customer (so I'm not sure what it all entails, but will soon find out) and it's only accessible till March 2014.

My Best Buy number: 0025180305

What's great about it: good price, action-packed, great plot, includes DVD and UV/iTunes digital copy

What's not so great: Must access exclusive content via BestBuy's CinemaNow

I would recommend this to a friend!

Excellent sounding headphones

How Often Used:Less than once a week

Verified Purchase:Yes

I bought these headphones for my daughter's use primarily during air/car travel. I've heard a lot of positive comments about Beats By Dr. Dre - Beats Studio Over-the-Ear Headphones by other owners and couldn't pass up this great deal at the $180 sale price. Based on first impressions and limited usage, my opinion is that my Bose QC15's (at $300) are constructed better, are more compact for travel, are more comfortable and work better at noise cancellation. However, the Beats Headphones are no slouch in these categories and seem to be every bit as good, if not better, when it comes to sound reproduction. The only concern I have is that bystanders can hear what I'm listening to, which is not the case with the Bose (Bose must insulate their QC15's better from the outside world). I don't think this will be a problem, though, since airline cabins are so loud and noisy to begin with. I should note that we have not yet tested these out during travel, but I'm confident that they will work flawlessly and as expected.
