Not Worth the 4K Price
on June 3, 2017
Posted by: Neil
Verified Purchase:Yes
The video quality isn't native 4K, and actual, it isn't even close. The picture isn't bad, I just don't think there's a noticeable improvement over regular Blue Ray.

Amazing Product
on May 26, 2017
Posted by: Neil
Verified Purchase:Yes
I never even knew a device like this existed until I stumbled upon a YouTube video. The ability to use multiple of these to stream music through is awesome and so much cheaper than Sonos and you can use your existing speakers. I plan on buying two more as a gift for Father's day. Highly recommended.

Premium Price, but Premium Sound
on May 26, 2017
Posted by: Neil
Verified Purchase:Yes
With so many Bluetooth speakers to choose from, this is an excellent choice. The sound this little speaker puts out is absolutely amazing, and the clarity of the audio is unlike any other Bluetooth/portable speaker I've heard. Most speakers you must raise the volume to hear just a little bass, this sounds just as good at lower levels, but has plenty of oomph when you want it.
I only wish the was a volume level and battery meter. Highly recommended.

Good but has Connections Problems
on May 13, 2017
Posted by: Neil
Verified Purchase:Yes
The convenience of these headphones is second to none, plus they sound fantastic. My only problem with these ear buds is I have frequent connection problems; with both my iPad Air 2 and my iPhone 7 Plus.
Whenever using them, I usually have to either wait for them to connect to my phone (usually 1 to 2 minutes), or I have to go to the Bluetooth settings and select them in order to connect. Once connected, they remain connected and the signal seems strong, but getting them to that state, has proven quite frustrating. Other than this issue, I absolutely love these headphones.

Good Tripod
on April 9, 2016
Posted by: Neil
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is a good tripod, it certainly does the job. I like that it's adjustable, I only wish the feet were made of rubber or something to help make it easier to situate and help it be more stable.

Awful on Surface Pro4-Returned It
on April 9, 2016
Posted by: Neil
Verified Purchase:Yes
I used this camera on my Surface Pro 4 and it was absolutely terrible. I have the i7 model with 16GB of RAM and the video was choppy, and the interface for the software was unusually small. The buttons were difficult to read and click on. I returned this after about a week, it was worse than the front facing camera that's already on the front of the Surface.

Worth the Price for Certain Users
on April 3, 2016
Posted by: Neil
Verified Purchase:Yes
I really like this dock and this is an excellent improvement over the previous model, because now you can leave your Surface in a protective cover and still have it "docked".
It is expensive (minus one star), but I needed a second power supply to keep at work anyway (sadly, the Surface Pro 4 has terrible battery life, as you probably already know), so I keep the regular power supply at work, and the dock at home. I use a second monitor and external speakers frequently at home, so this fits very well into my every day work flow.

Great Microphone for Beginners and Advanced Users
on April 3, 2016
Posted by: Neil
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is an excellent microphone. It simply connects to your PC via USB, it has adjustable gain and directional pick-up. Great for narrations, interviews, reviews, etc.
My only complaint, is I wish there was an off button, instead of having to disconnect it from the USB port. If I could, I would give this 4.5 stars instead of 4.
I would highly recommend getting the shock mount by the same company because this microphone is so sensitive (which is a good thing), that it picks up even the slightest noises.

Worked Fine Until Firmware Update
on December 28, 2015
Posted by: Neil
Verified Purchase:Yes
I'm using the Surface Pro 4 running Windows 10. This worked fine until I downloaded the app from the store (Wireless Display Adapter) and ran the firmware update. I suppose it's possible that the issue is with the SP4 (there have been several). Sometimes this works alright, but most of the time it's very "laggy", and loses connection.
Hopefully, this will improve with an update or something, but as of right now, it's certainly not worth $50.

Can the GCA plug into a receiver (Yamaha) so I can play music through multiple speakers? If so, how? Diagram shows device plugging into back of speaker only.
You sure can, I have it plugged into my Sony receiver. You'll need a 3.5mm (plugs into the Chromecast) to RCA cable (plugs into one of your receivers audio inputs), download the Google home app to configure it, and use a streaming service to play through it (I use Spotify). Then if you have another able speaker /receiver, you can hook up another Chromecast to it and stream in perfect harmony.

Can you print directly to a network printer?
Is it possible to print directly to a networked printer (such as a HP laser printer), as one would with a "conventional" laptop, or do you need to print via a laptop/desktop, that is "sharing" access to a printer?
Yes, this has the full version of Windows 10 installed on it, so you can do all of those tasks easily.

Does the tablet have a "sleep capability" when closing a cover like other tablets?
Most tablets(except very low priced ones) have a capability to to go to sleep when you close the cover on a case. I don't know if that is standard with Windows Tablets however. I would obviously have to find a case with the functionality(magnet I think), but does this tablet handle that?
If not, do you put it to sleep with a software function?
If not, do you put it to sleep with a software function?
No, either it will sleep because it sits unused for a determined amount, or you push the power button. When you press the power button to awaken it from sleep, it turns on very quickly though.
