I was skeptical when buying this product when I first viewed it online. When I received it however, I was absolutely blown away. It was easy to set up, considering all you have to do is charge it first and you're good to go, and second, it was even easier to set up the Bluetooth function. I flipped on Bluetooth on my iPhone, hit the Bluetooth button on the speakers, and "bloop," it made a noise right away telling me I was connected.
Once I began playing a song, I was even more impressed. I have a set of speakers four times the size of these and the volume is still just as loud as the larger ones. It's better quality sound too, with killer bass and no distortion at highest volume (on the phone and the speakers). The only thing I wish these speakers had was a light showing you how loud you have the volume or how loud the speakers are currently set. The only thing you have to tell you if the sound is increasing or decreasing when hitting the + and - buttons is to listen. But hey, if that's the only thing I would change about this product, then I'd say, Bose, you did it again. I would also like to quickly mention that when connected by Bluetooth, there's no lagging when you hit pause or play on your phone or other device. When a song is paused and you wish to start it up again, the song starts playing the exact second you hit play. This is something other speaker systems are lacking in that area. Some lag for up to three seconds before pausing or playing a song. Again, well done.
These speakers are amazing, especially for the price. In my opinion, this set of Bose competes with all other sets by the same brand. Absolutely fabulous product.
What's great about it: Sound quality, Size, Charging Life, Looks

The movie was great. The reason why this is so great is because everyone can relate to it because everyone nowadays has a cell phone, and at any time you can get a scary call that you don't expect at all. The ending did suck because it makes you want to say, "That's it?". I mean, the ending is so stupid, that you'd think there must be more, but there isn't. Overall, this is a great film, but if you are faint of heart or get freaked by death and stuff, don't see it.
What's great about it: Keeps you on the edge of your seat with scary surprises at times.

This was a great game. If you have this game in your options for games to buy in this category, definitely buy it. It is better than Rainbow Six 2, so don't think that because it is newer, that it is greater. The only bad thing about this game is that if you don't have any experience with these kinds of games, then it can be confusing, but overall, it is one of the greatest games in this category. This game also has wonderful graphics.
What's great about it: Great gaming, and great graphics.
What's not so great: Can be confusing to first timers.

This is definitely the best Guitar Hero game that has been made yet. I will admit that it gets a bit boring after you beat it a couple of times unless you begin to download more songs from online or just play songs for fun. It also includes some great bonus songs, and also cool guitars that you are able to buy at the store. Well, the one in the game itself. Overall, it is by far, a favorite of mine.
What's great about it: Great songs and battle characters (bosses)

The whole game is amazing. It is a great experience, and I love the option to turn on and off the view for when you are batting and for pitching. The only bad thing is the pixely graphics and the long loading time. I mean, it is like the longest loading time in a game that has been made for a long while, but on the brighter side, it is the second best baseball game, in my opinion, ever made!
What's great about it: The whole game
What's not so great: Pixely graphics and long loading time.

A great buy for someone into unsurprising, funny songs. Although, i did find that some of the songs wore out after a while. I guess my advice would be to not listen to them too much at a time. Great product!

This game was really great, but was really easy. There weren't enough challenging parts to it. I did really like this game, and was by far the best Halo game yet.
