Nice sound, in the right position...
on January 28, 2017
Posted by: RedOmen
I have had these for a few days now, and the sound is top notch for in-ear headphones. Blue tooth was easy to operate, and they come with a carrying pouch that can fit the charging cable and whichever set of ear covers you want to outfit these with (it comes with several different sizes of covers to fit these comfortably into your ear).
The one drawback stems from what it takes to hear the quality of the sound these phones produce. The covers for the ear buds are made of a rubber texture that does not do much in the way of comfort, and I actually found my ears hurting a bit as I tried the different sizes of covers to position these in my ear in a way that was comfortable and still allowed the full sound of these to come through.
Overall, If you are just planning to use these while working out (which is my plan, so that I can avoid any damage to my comfy, plush, over-ear headphones that I wear for pleasure) or for very short stints, these will work just fine and get the job done without sacrificing much in the way of sound quality. If you are looking for something for extended upcoming travel, or for activities that may require a longer duration, you may want to look elsewhere or at least try to identify more comfortable ear covers before you get these. I'd recommend these based on sound quality (JBL certainly knows sound!) but with caution for those looking for comfort. The ear covers may be durable, but certainly not as comfortable as the typical ear buds with foam covers, and quite a bit more taxing to find the "right" position to maximize the sound properly in both ears. Would rate a 3.8 if I could, but am rounding up to a 4 (not likely you will find earbuds with better sound).

Stunning Sound!
on January 3, 2017
Posted by: RedOmen
Verified Purchase:Yes
If you are looking for bluetooth speakers with full, vibrant, heavy bass with depth, that are also capable and responsive enough to handle a virtual EQ, look no further than these, as all roads lead to this JBL speaker with impeccable sound quality.
I was browsing bluetooth speakers at bestbuy when I came across the sony cube, which impressed me enough to do some research on bluetooth speakers on the market in general. A few youtube outdoor sound-test videos later, I found myself enamored with the JBL Charge 3 and decided I had to have it. Crazy part is that as good and convincing as the sound test were online, they were NOTHING in comparison to the actual sound of these speakers once I got them home and used them in person! The absolute clarity and power of these speakers will blow you (and anyone else who hears them) away, as it did with my family and friends at our new years eve gathering. The sound could easily be mistaken for an actual full stereo system with woofer, and when you add in the fact that they are waterproof and provide about 20 hrs. of entertainment per charge, there is absolutely no reason to refrain from getting these. You can also pair it with another JBL if you want even more intense power from the system.
This was one of the best purchases I've made (next to a bluetooth Sony headphone set with Extra Bass) and I was able to get them for $82 . Do yourself a favor and get these ASAP! I Highly and Enthusiastically Recommend these speakers to all music lovers! JBL completely outdid themselves with this one!

Performs as expected

Very fast flash drive, especially with an SSD equipped PC. The test of time is always my concern with these, as I have had drives randomly give out on me in the past. Hopefully this will last a reasonable amount of time, but so far, it appears to be a good buy for the price.

Unbelievable Bluetooth Performance!
on January 3, 2017
Posted by: RedOmen
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is one of the best purchasing decisions Ive ever made! Got these during Black Friday for $89 and I cannot believe the audio performance that they give! Very deep, rich bass and super responsive to an external equalizer to balance the sound as desired! No one believes how great these sound until I let them listen for themselves, and then they are struck with awe at the fact that this kind of sound is coming from a wireless device!
Battery life is exceptional at AT LEAST 20 hrs. per charge (I feel like I get more than that, but I've never let it completely die out). Traveled to San Antonio from Michigan via plane and this made my layovers to and fro a breeze, as I zoned out in complete musical immersion with these phones. Was fairly easy to learn how the bluetooth pairing works with these, and was able to pick up a case for these from Amazon.com. Phone usb charger works fine to charge these, and comes with audio cord for corded connection if desired (or needed if battery is low or dead). Tested the corded sound and it is still exceptional regardless of how you use them, bass and all.
Being budget-conscious, I would NEVER pay $200 for a pair of headphones, but i must admit that in this case, you would definitely get what you paid for if you did! They are definitely worth far more than the $89 I stole them for! ;)
These are EXCELLENT! HIGHLY RECOMMEND, especially if you can catch them on sale or are able to drop the $200!

Worked Great for First-Time Security Camera User!
on January 3, 2017
Posted by: RedOmen
This was my first venture into the world of wifi security cameras, and the Arlo Pro made that process very simple, user-friendly, and painless.
Set-up for these is very simple and consist of pretty much inserting batteries, synching cameras with the base (in a blue tooth type fashion), and downloading the phone app for ease of use. It took me all of 15-20 minutes to go from unboxing the equipment to viewing my live camera feeds right on my cell phone via the app (which is also extremely user-friendly, by the way!). The system comes with digital cloud service included, so I was able to literally start using the system right away.
I did not test the alarm, as there was a warning that it is so loud it could cause permanent damage if standing too close to it. All other features have worked as stated, with my favorite being that you can control everything from within the phone app, including on-demand digital recording & recording review. They could not have made this system simpler to install and use, especially for people like me who have not physically "mounted" the cameras but instead placed them in strategic locations as-is.
I cannot speak to how this stacks up to other systems on the market, but as a first-time user, this felt great to use and I would highly recommend it to anyone wanting the benefits of an easy-to-use security system that can literally be monitored anywhere with cell phone/internet access.
Im giving it 4 stars to account for my lack of experience with other systems of this type.

Solid Laptop, with a few quirks
on November 23, 2016
Posted by: RedOmen
Verified Purchase:Yes
Decided to purchase this after my previous laptop gave out on me. My experience has been good overall, but not problem-free.
It can run modern games on higher settings and has fluid power in both the CPU and GPU departments, however, there does seem to be some sort of conflict between the two PUs, as there are times when games have a massive stutter effect as the frame-rate drops very low. So far, I've been able to get the frame rate back to normal by unplugging and/or reinserting the power supply while gaming. This does not happen every time, but happens enough to note.
Seems to run CPU-intensive games better when the keyboard backlight is off. The backlight also seems to impact the computers ability to sleep or hibernate properly, and seems to make it run on the warmer side when playing demanding games (not hot, but quite warm to the touch). May be Windows 10 related, as my previous laptop (which was an HP with no keyboard backlight) also started to have some sleep/hibernation issues once i upgraded it to windows 10.
I've been using my Omen for a couple months now, for mixed use beyond just gaming, and it has performed well overall, even on most games (the above quirks usually occur temporarily, only on games with high CPU demands, and usually early on. It does not happen every time, but when it does happen, once you move past the initial glitch, CPU-heavy games run smoothly without issue for several hours of continuous gameplay). CPU and NVIDIA GPU drivers (and possibly windows 10) are the most likely culprit for any momentary gaming issues, so I hope that the glitch will be resolved completely without workarounds, however, the existence of the glitches along with the backlight issue prevent me from rating this more than four stars.
I'd recommend this for the price point and combination of features, hardware and overall performance, but a protection plan is an absolute MUST if you buy this.

Good Overall, but could be better...
on November 22, 2016
Posted by: RedOmen
I've been using this product for a couple weeks, and for the most part it works well.
On the positive side, you get 4 networks (two 5g networks with one for guests and one for personal use, and two standard networks with one for guests and one for personal use), and it performs the same whether one device or multiple devices are connected to it (for better or for worse, as described later). I have not tested this with hardcore online multiplayer gaming, but I suspect that some of my concerns below would play into that. Distance from the router also did not appear to be an issue with receiving the signal (which was not the case with a previous Linksys router I used).
The problem with the router is that it is a bit glitchy and inconsistent. When I've done wifi speed tests, the performance has mostly shown the full wifi speed available, but every now and then, the speed tests show that there is only a little over half of the speed available that should be available (I have 75mbps wifi, but sometimes this router randomly only allows about 40 to 45mbps). This seems to happen whether there is one device or several devices hooked to the router, although the router is supposed to be able to extend simultaneous wifi connections to several devices at consistent speeds without prioritizing or throttling wifi speeds per device the way most standard routers do. I must stress that this is not a constant issue (it goes days with no issues at all), but it is a very noticeable issue when it happens, so heavy gamers may want to be careful with this one.
The initial set-up also seemed a bit overdone as compared to other Linksys and NetGear routers I have used, and I was a bit thrown off by the way the guest networks display as being "open" by default (it took me a while to realize they were still secured in spite of what the router is broadcasting).
Overall, a solid router, but perhaps in need of a firmware update of some kind (none available for this as of the writing of this review), and in need of a simpler UI for installation and wifi network management (the UI here is a far cry from the simpler NetGear router UIs). I'd recommend this product, especially if heavy gaming is not an issue, but I'd recommend it somewhat hesitantly...

Working Perfectly So Far!

Verified Purchase:Yes
I just purchased this kit yesterday, and I immediately saw a difference after installing them on my gaming PC. Everything runs MUCH quicker than I expected and new life has been breathed into my games. Feels like a new PC! Anyone who may be debating the jump to 16gb of memory should definitely take the dive. You will not regret it!
Just bought this yesterday, so of course I cannot comment on longevity of this product, but it is definitely off to an impressive start!
This purchase was made as an upgrade from 8gb of memory to 16 gb.

Works great (Comcast User)
on April 17, 2016
Posted by: RedOmen
Verified Purchase:Yes
Purchased this modem so I could stop renting the Comcast modem that came with my cable subscription. Very easy to use/set-up, but still needed to call Comcast to have them officially register the modem. Cable worked before calling them, but after the call, my internet speeds were at maximum over Ethernet and wireless (with the appropriate wifi router, of course). I have already recommended this modem to others in the market for one. Great piece of equipment here.

Great Purchase! Solid/Fast Wifi & No Hassle Set-up
on April 17, 2016
Posted by: RedOmen
Verified Purchase:Yes
I purchased this Netgear router as an alternative to a Linksys Smart wifi router in the same category & price range as this one. Unlike the Linksys (which under-performed in all of its supposed key feature areas), it was immediately clear that this Netgear router provides excellent wireless signal coverage over both 2G and 5G channels, and I am able to get maximum mbps over 2G with multiple devices connected (and well over what my maximum speeds are supposed to be when using the 5G channels!). The beam forming tech seems to be working great on this device (unlike the Linksys), as I have no concerns about signal strength regardless of what part of my home I am working from. Could not have asked for more, and BestBuy allowed me to price-match for a better deal at time of purchase too! A win-win all the way around! :)

Enjoy additional talk and play time on your mobile device with this Insignia~ NS-MB15600 portable charger, which is compatible with most USB- and micro USB-enabled devices. Overload protection guards against damage.
how can you see how much battery it has left ?
does it display how much it has left ?
There is a small button on the right side of the device that will illuminate the power display on the front of the device. The device only displays the power in quarters; There are four lights arranged in a square formation, and the lights will reduce after each quarter of power has been drained from the device.
