Just horrible

I was so excited to get this updated version of an old favorite, and really wanted to like it. Sadly, this headset is unreliable and suffers from more connection issues than I've experienced with any other headset. Frequent disconnects, sensor issues, etc... make this totally unusable (I went through 3 of these before giving up and returning it). Tried these on different phones, with no improvement, and an now back to my old Plantronics Edge with broken sensors that still works better than this.

A great overall daily use and gaming mouse
on October 17, 2016

Verified Purchase:Yes
As an owner of numerous Logitech mice over the years, this mouse is a nice incremental improvement in pretty much every dimension. Tracking is clean and precise on a variety of surfaces (glass-topped wood still seems to be an issue, though). The combo bluetooth/unity connection option is really nice as well -- the unity connection tends to be a little quicker on the mac (bluetooth often seems to need a second or two to reconnect after sleep, while the unity connection is immediate), but since the mouse can now have up to 3 connections, this means you can use both -- have the unity dongle connected to a desktop machine (or to your USB hub while the laptop is docked) and then push a button to switch over to BT when traveling w/o the dongle! Battery life is quite good, and when low the mouse can be charged via USB while still being useable, making the lack of replaceable battery a non-issue.
Finally, the return of the dynamic ratchet/free-spinning scroll wheel is fantastic. This feature was replaced in some previous mice with a button to toggle between them, which was irritating. The MX Master brings back the option to have the wheel disable the ratcheting at user-definable spin speeds!
Overall, I highly recommend this mouse.

What you get, sort of...

Yes, it's a gift card. Yes, you can add it to your account. Unfortunately Sony has a strict upper limit on your wallet of $150. This is an incredibly frustrating number: games cost about $60-$100 these days, meaning if you have, say, $55 in your wallet and a $100 gift card, it is impossible to use the card to fully purchase the game! (You cannot add the card, since you will exceed the wallet limit, but you also do not have the funds to buy the game unless you simply pay the balance on your credit card).
I would avoid this card and go for two $50 cards instead until Sony increases the wallet limits on their end.

A great smart thermostat

I've had Nest thermostats since the first revision, and each edition includes incremental but quality improvements. The only remaining negative is their insistence on *not* supporting Apple Homekit, thus the 4-star rating.

Best external USB drive so far

Love this drive -- easy setup, no issues. Speed has so far been fairly good for an external, single, large-capacity drive.

Constant Problems
on August 28, 2016
Posted by: Sourdoughjosh
Verified Purchase:Yes
Over the past few years, WD has produced fairly reliable, consistent products. Unfortunately this one is not on that list. Frequent disconnects, slow speeds, and data errors plagued this device. Replacing the USB cable that came with the device with a cheap Amazon-branded USB3 cable doubled the throughput. However, the disconnect issue remained. I contacted WD regarding this, and they promised to send out a new cable, but never did.
Eventually I returned this device and replaced it with a Seagate 5TB model, and I couldn't be happier -- more storage, more speed, more reliability.
Skip this product.

This Insignia~ NS-PD94592 adapter allows you to connect a computer with a mini DisplayPort output to devices with an HDMI input, such as a monitor, projector or TV, and supports up to 4K resolution at 30hz for clear playback.
 

is this adapter HDCP compatible?

Yes. Have specifically tested this, having connected both an HDCP-compatible and non-compatible display. When the HDCP-compatible display is connected, things like Netflix play fine, and when I switch displays they stop working.

It is not clear if this device is compatible with a PC for Skype, Avaya or other VOIPs...and if so, do you need to purchase any additional accessory? Can anyone confirm?

Yes, it works. You can download the Plantronics app to integrate it more fully as well, and it will connect via Bluetooth to the computer.
