Outstanding wireless headphones.

I bought a pair for my kid last Christmas when they went on sale.
He liked them so much that when my aged Bluetooth earphones died I decided to replace them with these.
They are very comfortable and even though they are not noise-reduction headphones, they create a good seal around your ears that blocks quite a bit of outside noise.
The sound reproduction is equal or better than some sets 3 times their price. They have great bass if you're into that.
The battery life is ridiculously long, I charge them once a week.
Definitely worth the money.

Purchased as a gift for my son.
He had it running within minutes. The part that took longest was figuring out how to download and activate the software bundled.
He loves the pressure sensitive stylus, which also takes some getting used to and you might need to fiddle with the settings so that you're comfortable with your strokes.

My old Dyson died after 5 years of faithful service. I replaced it with a Hoover product. Big mistake. Long story short: bought a new Dyson on Black Friday. Order has been restored. I won't cheap out again!

Great choice if all you need to do is play music. It connects to Bluetooth, which is a big plus.
It's small, rugged and easy to use. Drag and drop files makes it very convenient.

Amazing (college) gaming laptop.

As most of you know, the search for a new gaming laptop can be agonizing, taking months to research and by the time you make up your mind, a whole new batch of better, faster laptops is released, so the process starts anew...
I am the kind of person that can't buy based on specs alone, I also have to know how it feels.
So I traveled to several stores to try out the different brands and models. Some felt huge, heavy and ungainly (Alienware), some felt "plasticky" (HP Omen), some were blah ( ASUS Rog)...
But when I got to the MSI, I had to stop and stare.
Then I picked it up and looked at it from every angle, trying to find fault.
The keyboard felt great, the weight was just right.
The screen, sharp.
I was pretty sure I had picked a winner.
I almost bought the predecessor that didn't come with the SSD and I'm glad I waited, this version is extremely fast to boot and start games, no more 100% disc issues.
Then I got a coupon for $150 student discount.
I couldn't get to the store quick enough!
It plays all the new, hot games at ultra setting with high FPS.
All I can say is go to the store and try it, you'll buy it!
It feels like a precision crafted instrument, metallic, not plastic.
Seriously, try one of these before you buy anything else.
I'm not going to bore you with the specs because they are already available online. These are strictly my impressions and I am in no way affiliated with either Best Buy or MSI.
Thanks for reading my review.

Great value for bluetooth headset.

I got tired of replacing the cord in my wired headphones, so I decided to shop around for inexpensive Bluetooth earphones.
I checked all available under $50 and was surprised to find these were only $25.
With some hesitation, I took them home to try.
They were easy to pair and came with several different sized earpieces that will most (if not all) people.
I tried them without the fins first and they worked fine, but if you are going to do much moving around, I recommend you use them as they stay in your ears more securely.
The headset sounds great and works perfectly with my iPhone and Android tablet.
They seem to be well made and should last a long time.

Great protection for your iPhone 7

Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this case to replace a generic case I had purchased the day I bought the new iPhone.
Definitely better built and fit.
It adds a bit of bulk to the slim iPhone 7, but it gives great peace of mind knowing that you have good protection against drops and such.
Please note this case does NOT have a screen protector like other Otterbox cases, so if you need the screen protected, you should look into the Defender series.

This iPhone replaces my old iPhone 6.
There are a few things that I had to consider before switching.
The home button has a different feel, but it is customizable, so it didn't take long to get used to it.
There is NO headphone jack, but if you need to hook it up to your wired headphones, a dongle (lightning to 1/8" female audio) is included.
Although by now everyone must have Bluetooth headsets.
The 256gb of storage is great as you don't have to manage your storage like I had to do with my last 16gb phone.
The camera takes excellent photos and has a "Live" photo option, which looks like a short video.
I've had iPhones since the 2 came out and Apple continues to build durable, beautiful phones, each one better than the last.

The only serious smartwatch option for iPhone
on June 2, 2017
Posted by: Bill
Verified Purchase:Yes
Sure, there are many smart watches that claim to be compatible with Android and iPhones. But in reality, the rest are Android watches with limited iPhone compatibility.
Namely, you will get notifications of text, email, etc. which is nice, but that's where the functionality ends.
You can't reply to a text or email even if you have the Android Wear app installed and running. This can be very frustrating, because if you are like me, you expect to be able to perform actions from your watch when you can't get to your iPhone.
Enter the Apple Watch.
It integrates fully into the iOS world and allows to reply to texts, email, etc.
It is a bit more expensive, but not by too much.
But if you own an iPhone, you won't be disappointed with its features.
So it looks good, it is water and dust proofed and it plays nicely with iPhones. What more can you ask for?

Bought this because it was on sale. It's quite generous in size and stays put, so that's a plus.
I would like it to have wrist support, but I guess you can buy it separately.

I see that this laptop has heating up problems, is there any recommendations in helping to keep the temperature down?
Make sure you don't block the laptop's vents.
That's the main thing.
Some people use this on their lap.
Not a good idea, despite their name, laptops function better when placed on a smooth, solid surface.
Avoid blankets, towels or any fabrics, as they tend to block the air intake vents and cause it run hot.
I haven't had to use a laptop cooling surface, but if it bother you that much, there are some available for about ~$20 that might provide extra cooling.
