Good tunes, lots of options

SiriusXM is a great for long roadtrips or the daily commute. Subscribing also gives you access to their streaming app, for when you're away from the car. Lots of variety and options. Only down side is that the price SKYROCKETS when your initial introductory period ends. (Even the basic service tier is more expensive than most VIDEO streaming services!) Be sure to call/livechat with their customer service dept to get the best prices after your intro pricing ends!

Apple tv is pretty good.

Verified Purchase:Yes
This streaming service is a good price and has some great shows and movies, but their library is pretty small compared to other streaming services. Depending on if you binge-watch series, you'll probably see everything you want in a month. If you aren't already part of the Apple ecosystem and have an android phone, AppleID/logins will likely be your biggest headache. Apple really should make their streaming service easier to set-up.

Nice try, but...

This charger has 2 ports, a usb-c and usb-a, so you can charge 2 phones at once, IF the 12V power port in your car is shallow enough. My port was too deep for the center contact on the charger to reach. Returned this and got the Best Buy Essentials version, which is bigger and works perfectly.

The Apple 20W USB-C Power Adapter offers fast, efficient charging at home, in the office, or on the go. While the power adapter is compatible with any USB-C-enabled device, Apple recommends pairing it with the iPad Pro and iPad Air for optimal charging performance.

Got this to use with a MagSafe charger. Works well, will charge other usb-c phones too. Despite being an official Apple product, this charger is about the same price as competing brands.

The MagSafe Charger makes wireless charging a snap. The perfectly aligned magnets attach to your iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Pro, iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 13 or iPhone 13 Pro, iPhone 12 or iPhone 12 Pro and provide faster wireless charging.

Great way to charge an iPhone.

Works great. Got this for my niece, who keeps killing Lightning cables by falling asleep in the recliner while holding her phone when it's plugged-in. (Put too much force on the magsafe charger and it just pops off of the phone, undamaged.) As with most official Apple products, it is more expensive than the off-brand options. But if you catch it on sale, it's a decent deal.

When your smartphone battery dies, you lose the ability to stay connected. Whether it's social media, your calendar or just the internet, nothing's worse than a device with a low battery and no way to charge it. The Insignia NS-MCC621C 6' USB-C to USB-C Charge-and-Sync Cable lets you power and transfer files between USB-C smartphones, tablets and more. Slim connectors with a textured grip fit into cases, keeping your device protected. With a charcoal-gray braided design, you can count on its durable exterior for everyday use. This 6 ft. (1.8 m) cable keeps you connected to everything that's important.

Great router!
on February 7, 2023
Posted by: JinMcD
Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this WiFi6e router to replace an older Netgear AC1750 dual-band WiFi5 router. This unit is a bit pricey, but it has 2.4GHz, 5.0GHz AND 6.0 GHz frequency bands, WPA3, a 2.5 Gbps and 1 Gbps ethernet ports, as well as the ability to connect up to 40 devices. This AXe router is SIGNIFICANTLY faster, with a much stronger signal and better range than my pervious router. Gaming and 4K streaming are smooth, with no discernible lag or disconnects. I like the clean, modern look with 2 "wings" rather than the 2 to 8 antennas sticking up that most routers have. (It looks almost like a B2 Steath Bomber!) If you're looking for a really good router, but also trying to future-proof your network for a few years, this is an excellent choice!

Great modem!
on February 7, 2023
Posted by: JinMcD
Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this to replace an SB6190. My old modem would vary in download speeds between 200Mbps to 300Mbps (on a 500Mbps plan from my ISP.) This SB8200 has given me consistent speeds of 540Mbps to 560Mbps, even peaking as high as 791Mbps once! The connection also seems more stable, with fewer service interruptions...possibly the difference between DOCSIS 3.0 AND 3.1? I don't have the multigig service tier, so I can't test this modem's ability to handle those speeds, but it does have two 1Gbps ethernet ports and supports port aggregation, so if your modem also supports that, you should be able to use this modem with plans up to 2Gbps. ***Helpful hint, when connecting this modem to your router, be CERTAIN that you use a CAT6 ethernet cable! I accidently connected my devices with an old CAT5e cable initially and only had speeds of 130Mbps. Realized my mistake, connected the modem and router with an Insignia CAT6 cable (which is rated to support speeds of up to 10bps) and was up to 550+Mbps!

Good USB extension cable
on February 7, 2023
Posted by: JinMcD
Verified Purchase:Yes
Despite it's cheap price, this is a good USB 3.0 extension cable. I got this mainly for adding extra length to my charging cable, and it works well. My devices charge much faster than using a USB 2.0 extension cable. The connector ends of this cable are also made of hard, solid plastic and seem more durable than the rubberized connector ends of the Insignia brand USB extension cables! (Several of the Insignia cables at my Best Buy had connector ends that were misshapen, with open gaps between the outer rubber layer and the inner metal components.) This cable is also cheaper than the Insignia version.
