Excellent Speaker, With One Possible Deal Breaker
on August 2, 2020
Posted by: RedOmen
from Lansing, MI
The sound quality within such a small form factor is quite an accomplishment! I've had the opportunity to test this outdoors as well as indoors, and it produces a very full, vibrant sound right out the box in both conditions. Marshall has managed to capture a mostly ideal balance with very clear bass (even on the highest and lowest volume settings, without getting muddy) and extremely vivid treble. The volume & bluetooth functions are located on the device without the use of an app, and are very intuitive to use, along with the navigation controls.
I used it for a few days and only lost a bar or two, so it seems to be living up to its promise of extended battery life. It is water resistant, so the rain didn't slow it down at all, and it is very light weight and compact, so ideal for travel and/or social gatherings. The sound seems to project from all angles, so you can hear it clearly when at a distance, regardless of what side or angle you are positioned from the speaker.
The one thing that may pose a problem for some is that this speaker appears to have its own internal EQ balancing system. I tried to use a virtual EQ on it, and it was almost completely unresponsive, even when turning bass, treble or mid-ranges up to full blast.
If you do not typically use an EQ to adjust your music, or are not particular about emphasizing certain aspects of the music you listen to, then this speaker is for you, as it produces the best, clearest, most consistent sound that I've heard in a speaker this size. However, if you like to emphasize bass, treble, or any other aspect of the music you listen to, this is probably not the best speaker for you. I believe most folks will find this speaker's natural sound to be great as-is, since it has enough bass to satisfy a bass lover. I would recommend it for more casual gatherings or more ambience-oriented background music listening. I am giving it 4 stars since it would be perfect if it was more responsive to personalized EQ settings. Would work well in dorm room settings since bass cannot be over-emphasized, but is still present.

This plug & play adapter & charger worked exactly as expected. Was able to charge my phone while using the HDMI adapter. Reproduction was crisp/no issues, and had no connection issues. The plug & play is very smooth, and at one point I plugged the adapter into my phone's type c port and it registered quicker than the native cable that came with my phone. Would recommend to anyone needing a type-c adapter, with the phone charging capability being an added bonus.

The Quality Expected From A Basic Logitech Mouse
on June 26, 2020
Posted by: RedOmen
from Lansing, MI
I am a fan of logitech mice, primarily due to their superb tracking across their array of mice. This mouse is a very basic mouse in terms of features, so gamers should look elsewhere, however, as a mouse for basic productivity or as a spare mouse for more feature-heavy mice (or a travel mouse), this is a great mouse that tracks well and gets the job done. Those looking for a bit of flare or just something different will enjoy the look (especially in my case, since my college alma mater uses the same green & white colors as this mouse). The colors could make it the perfect gift accessory for anyone that would appreciate the color scheme.
I Highly recommend this for basic productivity needs. Tracking is impeccable, as usual with logitech mice.

Good for casual listening, but NOT for deep bass
on June 5, 2019
Posted by: RedOmen
from Lansing, MI
I've been a JVC fan for quite some time, and was expecting more from these headphones. The Deep Bass effect has a muddy sound at higher volumes and the leveling sounds imbalanced overall at higher listening levels. They sounded much better at low to moderate volume, although I actually prefer the sound of these without the Bass effect active for most songs.
As a bass lover, I think these would be disappointing to anyone expecting more than a tinny-sounding extremely conservative bass increase. These would actually be better if not advertised as having DEEP BASS. As a casual pair of headphones, these sound comparable to standard corded phones, but they are disparately out of place among a very crowded field of excellent-sounding Bluetooth headphones that deliver a much crisper (and stronger) bass effect. Not sure if it was just a bad set, but Id say only get these if bass is not a deal breaker for you. They will exceed your expectations if you are strictly looking for a basic pair of Bluetooth headphones.
Giving this 3 stars since they are decent sounding overall and easy to use, but due to the apparent misfire on the Deep Bass, I would not recommend this to most folks that would be attracted to that particular advertised feature.

Had not heard of Denon brand before getting this product, but they've apparently been around for 100 years according to the box of this product. Well, they are officially on my radar now, as the sound quality of this product exceeded my expectations.
Product was very easy to connect to tv, and profile of sound bar was perfect for placing this at base of flat screen without compromising view or remote signals. Wireless sub woofer has own power cable separate from sound bar, and comes already synched to sound bar. Excellent sound from woofer even though strictly Bluetooth connection to bar.
Bar has multiple buttons and lights, and aside from recognizable symbols for power and Bluetooth, no further instructions are given in set-up guide for how to actually operate this device. I thought product was lighting up but not actually working, until I accidentally pressed a button twice in a row and got a different set of lights to turn on, which led to "discovering" how to actually activate and deactivate the active sound through the bar. This was almost as frustrating as the packaging of the product (a whole other story). Once activated, it was very easy to pair my phone via Bluetooth (one of the quickest pairings ive ever had). Remote has three sound settings that are helpful, along with three separate settings for vocal clarity (remote is not backlit, but really should be, especially since the buttons use a darker color writing than white), and direct control of input source and bass & volume level.
Sound is very rich and full, and base is clear and thumping, all at lower volume levels. Huge sound if you want to crank it up. I'd give it a 4.5 due to the packaging and lack of critical instructions, but am rounding up to a 5 since it does perform excellently, has Bluetooth and wired connectivity, and comes with remote and all connecting cables (things that some soundbars neglect to do). I'd definitely recommend to everyone, although I'd warn them about the lack of detailed instructions in the box and the mounds of packaging tape you have to get through to get the box open. Overall, a quality product from Denon. Couldn't ask for more in a 2.1 system.

The camera I received had a picture of a shutter on the box and mentions it in the written materials inside, but there was no shutter included with what I received. Felt a bit like false advertising there, so be careful, as the box and description are a bit misleading.
Hooked this up to one of my laptops and had no issues setting up the video, which was pretty much plug & play. Spent lots of time trying to access the camera microphone settings but could not clearly tell whether my laptop's mic or the camera mic were operating with my computer settings or video call settings. Computer speakers worked fine and synched with the video anyways, but it was odd that the camera mic was not as easy to identify and select as the video settings. There were no complaints from the receivers on any of my calls, but there was no loaded option to adjust the camera sound or clearly identify which mic was in use (computer or camera mic) like there was for the camera video, which immediately loaded into every video drop down menu present.
Video calling is my primary use for the camera, and the video came out excellent (when leaving a video message or when video calling live). Folks I spoke with receiving the video complimented how clear the picture was and the fact that it adjusted to lighting regardless of what my actual lighting conditions were (they could never tell whether I had bright lighting or very low lighting or when there was a lighting change during the video call, and were usually shocked at how clear and consistent the video was once I informed them of my lighting conditions). Very quality, rich video produced from this camera.
Overall, the video features were all great and performed very well, but the lack of clear audio selection/control of the camera's microphones and the missing (but advertised) shutter clip were a let down. I'd give this product a 3.5. based on what I experienced. Had the issues I mentioned not been present, this would have easily been a 4.5 rated product. Would recommend to folks who do not care about having a privacy shutter and who already have a solid audio mic system in place on the device they plan to use this with. Would suggest those with privacy concerns avoid altogether since the box gives the impression the shutter is included although it isn't/wasn't.

Step up to high-speed USB 3.0 speeds and transfer your videos, photos and files up to ten times faster than standard USB 2.0 drives.

Password protection lets you keep your private files private, while still allowing you to share generously with family and friends. And with a sleek, sturdy SanDisk Ultra USB 3.0 Flash Drive in your pocket, you won~t need an internet connection to access those photos and videos anyplace and anytime you want. For more than 25 years, SanDisk has been known for quality and reliability all around the world.

Ive used SanDisk drives before, and have generally had great results, the one caveot being that I have experienced drive failure (as with any flash drive, eventually) and had the stressful experience of trying to recover lost data. Ive also had an instance or two of being concerned about sensitive data being accessed on a lost drive, but am pleased to say this drive resolves both issues, with password encryption software included on the drive (complete with setup tutorial) and "Flashback" cloud storage (for a nominal fee after the first year) that allows you to back up your data to the cloud and thus access it from virtually anywhere. Data transfer speeds are extremely solid, and the drive is a quick plug & play load. You cannot go wrong here. Especially having the only flash drive stressors (unsecured data and unexpected drive failure) neutralized by this drive's features. Definitely recommend to everyone.

Charger with bells and whistles that may appeal to some looking for more than a car quick charger.
Is capable of delivering about 30v at once, but since phones regulate the charge to whatever the phone can handle, it will still charge at whatever rate a more basic quick charger does. Uses QC3.0, so does not use the newer 4.0 standard. Since capable of handling 30v, two phones should both be able to receive maximum charge (haven't had a chance to test that theory yet, but I did receive same charge rate from either charging port).
Phone monitors car battery, can be set to auto locate your car (even to take a GPS snapshot automatically, so you never have to go hunting for your car again), and allows you to change your quick charge light to whatever color you desire (currently using a deep purple, and it looks great).
Overall impression is that if you are just looking for a great car charger, this more expensive version is much more than you need. If you perpetually forget where you parked your car, are having issues with your car battery, or are overly fixated with the limited amount of LED light colors than adorn most quick chargers on the market, then you may enjoy the extra bells & whistles this charger brings with it. I have a phone that requires a minimum of 15v to properly quick charge, so this would be a good option for anyone in a similar boat, especially if there are two or more people that could benefit from the higher voltage this item kicks out.
Although I don't think this is an essential buy for all quick charge users (maybe if it used the newer 4.0 standard, MAYBE), I think it does have features that some could find very handy. I'd recommend, but only to folks specifically needing the higher voltage output or who would specifically want to utilize one of the special features. Not for your average consumer.
One quick note: It auto maps where you park your car as soon as you turn off your engine, so you could safely unplug the charger and still use the app to find your vehicle later, wihout worrying about battery drain.

I've been using this product for a couple of weeks, and it is an all-around solid speaker, however, the physical design may not be to everyone's liking.
It connects very easily and quickly, and is very intuitive to use. As the owner of a few different brands of bluetooth speakers, I was very happy to see that this comes with more on board controls instead of being overwhelmingly dependent on phone apps like a number of other bluetooth speakers and devices are (although there still is an optional app for this device as well). Among its native options are two preset EQs, options for controlling the light show and voice command features, and all of the fairly standard volume/BT/Power/track control options too. Operating is a breeze, and once you've connected a device to it, you can pretty much control everything else from your device.
The one down side (and reason for the 4 of 5 stars) is the physical design of this. It has a very clunky appearance with four grip bars protruding from it. Some may find these helpful, but for the most part, unless you plan to hold it all day, the bars seem like a bit much. It also seems quite heavy for its size, as others in the same size category feel much lighter and more portable than this. Gym rats may find carrying this around to be a good way to keep the workout going, but I have a hard time believing the average Joe or Jane would put the excessive bars to use. In fact, I wonder how much the speaker would weight without the bars...hmmm.....
Well, I'd definitely recommend it for the sound quality, but as for the design, if aesthetics or overall weight is of any concern to you, there are other lighter options on the market.
All in all, a solid choice, with what seems to be great battery life, convenient on-board controls of all key functions, and high responsiveness to a virtual EQ to adjust the sound as desired.

Wireless Printing is a Snap!
on August 5, 2018
Posted by: RedOmen
from Lansing, MI
Verified Purchase:Yes
I used this primarily with my home wireless network, and set-up was a breeze! The printer itself and the online application were an excellent guide that got the job done swiftly. An app for my phone is great for printing work documents without logging into any of my laptops or desktops. I admittedly have not tried out the "print from anywhere" function (and some others) yet, but all of the basics work very well. The main concern was ease of use and set-up, and this printer fits that bill. Would recommend to anyone looking for a wireless printer. Only drawback is that the ink is expensive. I haven't had to replace the ink yet, and I am not looking forward to that. Very happy with this purchase otherwise.

Any more available?
Any idea when this will be available online or at the store?
You would probably have to check with your local bestbuy regarding if/when they plan to have more in stock at the store, but as an FYI, I went to purchase this item at my local BestBuy store after checking online and seeing that same-day pick-up was available. When I got to the store, a sales clerk tried to assist me with locating this item, and he could not find it (and proceeded to try to tell me it was not available anymore; This is the second time this has happened to me with a sales clerk at BestBuy). I simply went home and ordered it online for pick-up at the store, and they had it ready for me shortly thereafter (I could have done this at the store and just waited, if I'd had my smart phone with me). My point, check online to see if the item is in stock and able to be picked up from the store. If it is, order it online to make sure that you have no issues with undisplayed inventory at the store.

You may have submitted your question for the wrong product; This is for the AC1600 Dual Band Router, which is strictly a router and does NOT have a modem incorporated.
There is another Netgear product listed as an AC1600, but it is a gateway device (meaning that it has both a modem and router integrated into the device). The other device cost about $200, which is at least $70 more expensive than this item.
For your convenience, Ive included all three AC 1600 items currently sold on bestbuy, so that you can identify your intended item. Please note that one is just a router (this product), while the other two are modem-router combos (one of which, I believe, is what you are asking about).
