Good SCREEN protection option
on July 21, 2017
Posted by: CoolDad
Verified Purchase:Yes
FIRST: you need to accept that this is a SCREEN protector. The curved edges of the watch will remain exposed. If this is not what you're expecting, move to another product. Period.
If you're willing to accept, then this is a recommended brand. The application is EASY with the install case design and application configuration. Watch the video.
Warning: the #2 external film did not come off so easily during my install and, long-story-short, I needed to "manually" peel off the external film via finger nails (i.e. old-school label maker tape).
It's been weeks and the screen protector has never peeled off or shifted. Can't comment too much from others' experience, other than the fact that it shouldn't require that much force or pressure to do any swipe function so it has never been a problem.

Good low-profile edge protection
on July 21, 2017
Posted by: CoolDad
Verified Purchase:Yes
As the title states, this protective case serves it's intended purpose well: low-profile light-weight edge protection.
It fits well, though may need some adjustment IF the crown turning function is restricted from the contact with the interior case rubber lining. All that was needed was a firmer press on the crown side of the case and the fit adjusts all around.
It adds minimal bulk and the single-piece design prevents any loss of parts from "snapping off." The easy install/removal also makes interval cleaning convenient.

True contender among mid-range headphones
on July 16, 2017
Posted by: CoolDad
Verified Purchase:Yes
Notes: not an audiophile, so I'll defer sound quality and ANC to the rest of the positive reviews. The only recent headphones I can compare to are the Beats Solo 3s.
I can comment on the comfortability of these. The holes aren't too large so the fit might be an issue for larger ears. But the soft pads and tension band are right on to wear for long listening periods. However, the size of the pads adds to the weight and profile, so you'll never forget these are on.
The features are also an added bonus (for those with iOS and Android phones). The supplement app allows for the added base boost, switching equalizer profiles, and de/activating the ANC. These also have a convenient backward/skip switch.
Not surprisingly, the most notable attribute of these is the bass. Adjustable via the app, but honestly, not needed (they can also be leveled down). A definite plus for bass heads!

Listen to music uninterrupted with these Sony stereo headphones. Adaptive noise cancellation features ensure you only hear the music and not ambient sounds, while a powerful battery delivers up to 20 hours of listening pleasure. These Sony stereo headphones are wireless so that you can listen in comfort to the high-resolution audio that delivers incredible bass and trebles.

Exceptional higher-end headphones
on July 16, 2017
Posted by: CoolDad
Verified Purchase:Yes
Notes: Not an audiophile so I'll just say I agree with the positive reviews regarding sound quality and the ANC. Also, the only recent headphones I can compare these to are the Beats Solo 3 (which I exchanged for these).
But I can comment on the comfortable fitting. Large ear cups, soft pads, and a firm-but-not-pinching tension of the head band allows me to wear these for long periods of time without needing to remove them.
Lastly, the features are welcomed additions not found on other headphones: swipe/tap, forward/skip, ambient sound options, and--the clincher--instant "muting" by cupping the right ear phone. Winner.

Fair upgrade
on July 8, 2017
Posted by: CoolDad
Verified Purchase:Yes
An iPad with faster processing and brighter display at a lower price. It's not a total upgrade with ups and downs compared to its predecessor, but the lowered price point is good compensation.
A definite buy for those entering the ipad game or for those using it as an extra iPad (i.e. for kids).

Good features for bass heads
on July 7, 2017
Posted by: CoolDad
Verified Purchase:Yes
Build quality is decent and sound is pretty good with emphasized bass. Upgraded W1 chip with Fast Fuel feature adds the cherry on top.
Unfortunately, my product return was based on: Discomfort with the on-the-ear fit type, lack of forward/backward control features on the headphone, and lastly... being unsatisfied with just a "pretty good" sound quality. Because these are more subjective preferences, I'll still recommend---though not for me.

Mandatory inclusion to collection
on July 1, 2017
Posted by: CoolDad
Verified Purchase:Yes
Up is one of those movies that are a must for any collection. In an era of on-demand streaming capabilities, the need for hard copy discs are becoming more uncommon. But for those who continue to appreciate tangible media, this one is worthy of becoming that piece for your collection.

Secure your iPad with this OtterBox Defender case. It has an outer cover and interior shell to protect your device against impact, and its built-in touch-screen protector keeps your display free from scuffs. This OtterBox Defender case has port covers to prevent dirt or debris from interfering with jacks and connections.
 

Will this fit the "Apple IPad Latest Model with WiFi 32 GB" Model MP2F2LL/A I bought the Otterbox Defender for IPad Air & the volume keys do not line up correctly

Yes, this will fit the "latest model" model. Per Otterbox site, this "latest model" is identified as "5th generation" and corresponds to this same product. Enjoy!

Can someone tell me what the main difference is between these and the sony mdr100x? Ive been trying to do research but nowhere has a comparison of the two.

I have both. The difference is sound quality. Neither is bad, just different--and they excel in their respective differences among other comparable models. The MDRs would be considered the most balanced-sounding, no adjustments needed and thus good for all music genres. The XBs are bass-heavy (though adjustable via app), so more ideal for hip-hop/r&b/pop genres.

Their feature differences are self-explanatory. I got both for difference purposes. The MDRs for general use, the XBs for active/gym use.
