This has a great sound, whether listening to music, podcasts, or gaming. The microphone is clear according to others I have asked. Comfortable to wear all day long.

This stand holds my Xbox One S steady, giving it plenty of room for good air flow. Great buy for the price.

Easily replaced other remotes
on September 22, 2017
Posted by: Newt
Verified Purchase:Yes
I wanted a way to easily get rid of several other remotes, and to reduce clutter. This is a great solution. The main unit can sit hidden, along with many of the secondary boxes being controlled. Then a smaller unit can be almost invisible in front of the TV and soundbar to control those two items.
One drawback is that some of the built-in delays can be fairly large (which is necessary for slower items). It also does not control the PS4 very well -- it works OK for DVDs and Blu-Rays, but functions poorly for other apps like PS Vue.

Works better than outdoor antenna
on May 6, 2017

Verified Purchase:Yes
We had an outdoor antenna that we spent far more on than this antenna. But, this antenna picks up more stations and brings them in much more consistently.

View digital content on your analog television with this Insignia digital-to-analog converter box. The electronic program guide helps you find favorite shows, and the converter box pairs with almost every type of antenna. Use this Insignia digital-to-analog converter box to show HDMI content on digital displays that don't have a TV tuner or coax input.

Works better than tuner in TV
on May 6, 2017
Posted by: Newt
Verified Purchase:Yes
This tuner works great. It can get the programming guide over the air waves. It works wonderfully when hooked up to an omni-directional antenna like the Mohu Leaf. The remote if full featured and easy to use.

Decent for small spaces
on December 9, 2016
Posted by: Newt
Verified Purchase:Yes
The humidifier worked fine when we first got it. After placing it in the included carrying case, some of the plastic bits that held the top on broke off. Since there is a safety feature to have the top on for operation, had to tape it together.
It does keep a small area moist. Especially nice for a car.

Great Android Wear Watch
on December 9, 2016
Posted by: Newt
Verified Purchase:Yes
The display is easy to read and always on. The battery can last 2 days of light use, I generally charge it about an hour each evening and wear it while I sleep. The band is quick-change, so very easy to swap with other bands from Fossil.

Solid performance
on October 1, 2016
Posted by: Newt
Verified Purchase:Yes
Overall this charger worked as advertised. I use it on a daily basis. The only downside is that with a Galaxy Note 5 and a Galaxy S6 it is very positional -- I usually have to move it around for 30 second or more before it starts charging. But, at least it has a blue light to indicate when it is working.

One minute, you're Emmett, just an unassuming guy trying to get through his day-to-day life as a person with his head down and his feet on the ground. The next, you're being hailed as the savior of a world under the total rule of an evil dictator, and everyone is looking to you to save the day. Using all the resources and know-how at your disposal, it's up to you to overthrow the cruel ruler and save all of LEGO-kind.Choose your character from more than 90 unique LEGO people as you traverse through the dense LEGO universe with a fellowship of strangers, all while collecting one-of-a-kind items to build the world of your dreams. Construct massive structures as you wind through worlds ~ your only limitation is your own imagination. It's like getting to play with LEGOs without having to clean them up.

Really fun Lego Game
on July 30, 2016
Posted by: Newt
Verified Purchase:Yes
I especially recommend this to anyone who liked the Lego Movie itself. If it does not have the original voice actors, the ones who do the in game sound pretty spot on. The story follows the movie closely, but the things that are added are fun and make sense.
I give it a 4 because I don't feel it is quite as deep as some of the other recent Lego games (Lego Marvel Superheros, Lego Batman 3). But, since it is targeted at a younger demographic, this might be just the thing for younger gamers.

Metal band Functional while Jogging?

Has anyone with the leather or metal band worn this for jogging? I use my HTC One for jogging right now on my arm, but would love to utilize the GPS/heart rate/etc... on the watch. Also, how is the leather and or metal band on your wrist for jogging? Sweat/weight...
I have the metal band and it works fine for jogging. I like the fact it can keep track of my heart rate and steps while running. If you want to use GPS you will still have to bring along your phone -- the Sony Smartwatch 3 is the only Android Wear watch I am aware of with a built-in GPS.
