An essential buy for any bluray collector
on January 5, 2024
Posted by: Derek33
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is a really cool collection, definitely recommend for any fan of the series or any bluray collector. it comes in a really nice and cool designed case with equally nice individual cases for each movie as well as tons of extended and bonus content for each film on a separate disk. There is also some cool artwork as well. these are also not just regular bluray copies either, but 4K UHD blurays, so if you have a compatible 4K player and TV, this is a must buy! and for the price you absolutely cannot beat it.

It’s a good quality hdmi and an absolute must have for anyone wanting to play their PS5 on a 4K/4K OLED tv, esp if you’re gonna be watching any 4K blu rays also. It’s decently priced as well.

Best WiFi speaker/home hub available
on December 19, 2023
Posted by: Derek33
Verified Purchase:Yes
I really love this thing! I had a HomePod mini for about a year before this new second generation HomePod was released and I really loved the mini as well, but I just wish it had a better, more powerful sound (though it’s great for its price and size) and I missed out on the full size version before it was discontinued so I was excited when the second generation was announced and immediately got it upon release. I was definitely not disappointed. It, of course, can be used as a home hub and bridge for your home which allows you to control and automate all of your smart home devices and has built in Siri and all of the capabilities that come with it, but it’s also a really good wireless speaker. It has tons of neat technology ti ensure a proper, great sound with deep, rich bass response. It’s great for listening to music or podcasts. You can also pair two together to use for stereo sound, and it can also be used for your tv to replace the speakers in it if paired with another HomePod in stereo mode (an excellent alternative to soundbar or similar setup, especially for those with limited space or those who have their tv wall mounted and don’t have a stand underneath their tv and want to maintain a clean look) compared to other WiFi speakers of the size or price, this is far better-and you also get all the features of Siri as well as the ability to control your smartphone with this, which makes this an absolute bargain tbh.

Part opposable thumb for your phone, part stylish phone accessory. PopSockets PopGrip offers a secure grip so you can text with one hand and snap better photos. Functions as a convenient stand so you can place your phone up on a table to watch videos. When you~re done, it collapses flat. Did we mention each PopSockets PopGrip includes a swappable PopTop? Switch out your PopTop for another or remove it completely for wireless charging capabilities. Just close the grip flat, press down, and twist 90 degrees to swap out the top. Allows for hands-free use with the PopMounts.

Not bad

Not a bad popsocket. It looks cool and has a sorta fidgety feature allowing you to spin and twist it, which makes sense given it’s a record, but it feels especially thin/flimsy compared to other popsockets. Still best though.

Perfect for PS5
on December 19, 2023
Posted by: Derek33
Verified Purchase:Yes
I’ve had this tv for about a month now and i really love it. It’s absolutely packed with tons of great features and, of course, has an amazing picture. This is one of the few TVs Sony recommends for PS5, as it has several features specifically for gaming on a PlayStation. The brilliant 4K OLED display allows you to play your games in the best resolution and with the best frame rate possible, with tons of neat options for customization of the picture to suit anyone’s viewing preferences, and OLED technology means having the deepest, blackest blacks possible with rich, vibrant color and contrast. There’s a special hdmi port with eARC/ARC specifically for PS5 to ensure a perfect gaming experience. It’s also a smart tv with built in WiFi connectivity and runs the most advanced and powerful processor available for TVs on android tv OS, which allows you to download and run apps directly from the tv, such as Netflix and Hulu and dozens of others, as well as over 800 free live tv channels. There is also an advanced speaker setup built in to the tv to provide you with sound quality never seen on tv speakers, advanced and powerful enough to make the use of a soundbar unnecessary. The tv itself is also very thin, making it beautiful for wall mounting or a table top setup with the included stand. However, at 65” screen size, this is a large and heavy unit, so a proper wall mount installation with multiple people to lift the tv itself is required. It is also on the pricey side compared to the majority of other 65” 4K tvs, but it is priced competitively with other OLED TVs, and for the wonderful quality and all the features you get with this model, I feel like it’s a bargain (especially at the current price Best Buy is selling it for)
if you’re in the market for a new tv and are a PS5 gamer or want an excellent home theater experience or are just looking for an OLED tv, I cannot recommend this model enough. I promise you won’t be disappointed!

AirPods Max reimagine over-ear headphones. An Apple-designed dynamic driver provides immersive high-fidelity audio. Every detail, from canopy to cushions, has been designed for an exceptional fit. Active Noise Cancellation blocks outside noise, while Transparency mode lets it in. And spatial audio with dynamic head tracking provides theater-like sound that surrounds you.~

Best wireless over ear headphones available
on May 15, 2023
Posted by: Derek33
Verified Purchase:Yes
I absolutely LOVE these headphones, they’re by far the best overear headphones you can buy-especially if you own/use them with an Apple device. They’re absolutely top quality headphones that any audiophile would love and appreciate, and they’re also absolutely gorgeous and beautifully designed, as all Apple products are. I love the range of colors available as well. One of the biggest, most stand out features of these aside from the excellent sound quality is their exceptional noise cancellation. These have THE best noise cancellation of any headphone on the market, regardless of price. No matter how loud and busy the world around you is, once you turn on noise canceling, it completely shuts the world out and lets you enjoy perfect silence or allows you to listen to your music or watch videos/movies without any background noise affecting and disturbing you. I also like the controls on the headphones themselves, as it’s very simple and intuitive. There’s a dedicated button just for the noise canceling and transparency modes as well as a small dial similar to what’s on Apple Watches that controls volume as well as play/pause, skip/next track and previous track, and also allows you to summon Siri as well as answer or decline and end calls (you also can do all call and text functions by voice, as well as Siri reading out incoming texts to you) these headphones also work with Apples spatial audio and head tracking, which can be turned on/off any time, but it unfortunately is a feature only available when used with an Apple device, and one other cool feature only available with Apple devices is the Find My feature, which allows you to be able to always see where your headphones are on a map in the event you lose them, so it helps make sure you’re never going to lose these and always be able to find them, which is an awesome feature. The final Apple exclusive feature is the way that it connects to your device; you just place your device near the headphones and it automatically pops up on there and connects, making it extremely simple, easy, and fast. It also never ever loses its connection ever, regardless of how long you use them. But it’s just as simple and easy to connect to non Apple devices as any other Bluetooth headphone; you just turn on Bluetooth and hold down a button on the headphones to put it in pairing mode and then connect it to your device and its paired. The battery life on these are excellent as well, lasting for up to ~25 hours on a full charge when using full noise cancellation and near full volume. They’re also very comfortable to wear, with nice soft earcups made from comfy memory foam material and an extra soft headband with thin mesh material inside it to allow full airflow and prevents any sort of sweating like a leather headband would. Best Buy also offers 3 month trials of Apple Music/TV/News whenever you buy these, which is an awesome added bonus. They also have the cheapest price on these and often times will have them on sale for even cheaper-so if you see them and they’re on sale I highly suggest buying them before that sale ends! But in the unlikely event you find these for cheaper at another store or website, Best Buy will price match them-even if you’ve already bought them and then later notice they’re cheaper somewhere else, which is what I did when I bought these. I noticed a week later they were $40 cheaper on Amazon and I provided the proof to a team member on an online chat and they immediately adjusted my price for these to match that sale price. It was really cool how they did that for me and made my overall experience with buying these even better than it already was.

HomePod mini delivers unexpectedly big sound for a speaker of its size. Place multiple speakers around the house for a connected sound system.~ With Siri, your do-it-all intelligent assistant helps with everyday tasks and controls your smart home privately and securely.~ And HomePod mini works seamlessly with your iPhone.

The best smart speaker on the market!
on May 15, 2023
Posted by: Derek33
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is an absolutely wonderful and surprisingly powerful little speaker! It’s also absolutely packed with awesome features and it works so effortlessly and seamlessly with any Apple device. Setup literally takes less than 2 minutes; just hold your device near it and it’ll automatically register it. It also has the ability to control your entire smart home with Siri, as well as the ability to do all other features Siri can do. I absolutely love the cool colors they come in, and I also love that you can pair two of these together in one room to make a set of stereo speakers. It’s roughly the size of a softball, but it has the power and sound of a speaker triple it’s size. It also has 360° audio as well as the ability to play music in spatial audio from Apple Music. And the price of it makes it an absolute bargain, making it very easy to have one for the entire family in each of their bedrooms, which also allows you to fully utilize the intercom function of HomePods, which is a super cool feature that works exactly like it sounds, acting as intercoms throughout the whole house to each speaker or to only certain speakers you choose, and you’re able to use this feature from your phone to communicate with someone at home on their HomePod. These are the absolute coolest smart speakers that also offer excellent sound quality and beautiful aesthetics and work flawlessly with Apple products, so it’s especially great for those who already have and own Apple products, but it’s also great for those without any Apple products as well.

The best kitchen appliance ever!!
on May 15, 2023
Posted by: Derek33
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is by far the absolute best kitchen appliance I have ever owned (or used) in my life! I know many will feel as though it’s a bit of a splurge, given the price, but once you begin to look into it closer, you’ll realize it’s actually very fairly priced against its competitors-especially given all the wonderful features this ice machine has. This specific model has the additional extra large water tank already added onto it, so it can make more ice quicker and with less refills. It also has a very cool Wi-Fi feature that connects to your home Wi-Fi and has additional features via a free downloadable app available on iOS and android devices that allows you to fully control and customize settings for your ice machine right from your device. This can be helpful if you’re in a situation where you’re going to need extra ice, as you can use the app to make it produce full capacity ice from anywhere so that once you return home, your machine will be full and ready to go. It also makes the widely loved ‘Sonic ice’ that are the tiny, less dense ball shaped pieces of ice that are loved for their excellent chewability by those who enjoy eating ice, but it’s also more effective at cooling down your drinks, due to its size and shape, so that your entire cup is the same cold temperature rather than only the very top being cold like traditional ice cubes. You also have the added convenience of an excellent water filtration system on the machine, so it fully filters out and removes any impurities and imperfections from the water before going to the freezing compartment of the machine, giving you perfectly tasting, filtered ice every time. The water filter is also very easy to replace, with replacement filters being very inexpensive as well as lasting for several months, depending on your use (the app will let you know when the filter needs replacing) This machine also pumps out ice at an exceptional rate; with the ability to make ~50lbs of ice per day. It’s also an extremely quiet machine, making virtually zero noise. It’s also quite well made, with the ice bucket being a clear bin that you can pull out and use the provided ice scoop to collect ice from, which allows you to always visually see how much ice is currently in the bin, but despite this design, it doesn’t have any trouble keeping the ice perfectly frozen at all times, so you don’t have to worry about it thawing out or leaking ever. The machine itself is also just a beautiful, elegant design that’s both modern and classic at the same time. It has a wonderful night time illuminated mode to where the bin itself is illuminated in blue LED lights just like the large round mode button and the ‘hidden’ touch buttons on the machine are. Compared to other similar ice makers, this one is not only 2-3 times larger and able to make 5 times more ice, but it has several additional features and is very well made and produced by a quality, reputable manufacturer that’s been making kitchen appliances for decades rather than some random company you’ve never heard of-and it only costs about $100 more than those cheap ones you’ll see on Amazon. So I definitely recommend this item if you’re interested; it’s a great investment that you’ll love and use for years and years without any issues (and in the unlikely case you do have an issue, GE stands by their product with a great warranty)

One of the best Bluetooth speakers ever
on June 22, 2022
Posted by: Derek33
Verified Purchase:Yes
Absolutely amazing portable Bluetooth speaker with amazing sound quality and extremely loud-especially for its size. Battery life is amazing as well. There’s also 3 adjustable dials on top for bass/treble/volume so you can tailor the sound to whatever you’re listening to. It’s also great for a party or gathering due to the fact it has 360° sound with speakers on both sides. Also has powerful bass. You can even use it as a portable battery to charge devices from. It’s made of high quality materials as well, very well built and sturdy. I also like the fact that Marshall is playing into their legacy with the design of this speaker looking like a guitar amp. It’s also got a nice detachable carrying strap as well. This is an absolute steal at its price as well. I cannot say enough good things about it.

Perfect durable charger made of super high quality
on March 15, 2022
Posted by: Derek33
Verified Purchase:Yes
Excellent quality cable that won’t break at the ends like the once’s apple includes, as it’s wrapped with braided steel. It’s also 10ft long, so it gives you plenty of room to use your device while it’s charging, or if you happen to have an outlet in an odd spot far away. It also looks nice and has a small leather button to wrap it up and hold together for travel. The box it comes in is a case as well, which he also nicely made. You pull a small ribbon on the side to pull it out and there’s a clear plastic top that folds up to place the charger in when it’s rolled back up and buttoned up. All the chargers and accessories this brand makes are top notch and best brand for accessories. Oh and this chargers also apple certified so it properly charges ur device rather than giving the pop up saying “incompatible device” or whatever the cheap chargers say when you try to plug them in, because they’re not certified.

Enjoy thumping sound wherever life takes you with this indigo Marshall Stockwell II portable Bluetooth speaker. The rechargeable LiIon battery supports up to 20 hours of playback on a single charge, while the multi-host functionality allows connection to two wireless sources. This pint-sized Marshall Stockwell II portable Bluetooth speaker features a 10W Class D woofer amplifier for thundering bass.
 

Is the strap on the Indigo color speaker made of fake or real leather?

It’s real leather on the outside with a suede-like material on the inside

Keep your iPad or iPhone charged with this Native Union USB charging cable. This reliable cable connects any Lightning-supported device to a USB port for syncing and stores in a tidy coil when not in use. Bind this 4-foot Native Union USB charging cable with the included leather strap for easy transportation and storage.
 

Will this work with old iPhone SE 1st gen?

It’ll work with any apple device that charges via lighting port, which was first introduced on the iPhone 5 in 2013. Every iPhone and iPad since has used the new lightning cable/port to charge, and when the iPhone X was introduced, it also came with the ability to charge wirelessly in addition to the lightning cable. So to answer your question, yes, it works for your phone.

What is the correct plug for this cable

This is a charging cable made for Apple iPhones/iPads/iPods/AirPods/any apple device that charges via lightning port; the other end is a typical usb-a, so it’s just like the chargers that come with apple devices and can plug into an apple power brick or laptop or your vehicles USB port or anywhere else with a regular USB port (not to be confused with the new (late 2021) apple chargers that switched from usb-a to the newer and faster usb-c. But as of March 2022, very few apple devices include a lightning to usb-c, and either way, lightning to regular usb still works just fine on those devices. Apple just wanted to update the other end that plugs into the power source to usb-c, which is much quicker charging

Where will I be able to redeem the digital copy? I have had some Lionsgate movies in the past that were only redeemable through iTunes and need to know if that is the case with this movie. Thanks for your help!
