Meet Nest Audio. Hear music the way it should sound, with crisp vocals and powerful bass that fill the room. Just say, ~Hey Google~ to play your favorite songs or get help from Google Assistant.~ Stream music or podcasts from services you use most. And create a home audio system with your other Nest smart speakers, just like that.

Well...."Sonos" feature is no more. I feel like google should compensate their customers in some way. But I purchase this for a 300sqft room, great for ambient sound. Def would need 2 to keep the room filled but one is enough to enjoy.

Had to knock it a star due to the re-release of this product. This should've been a "pro" unit. Oled screen is a improvement but I ended up just docking the device and playing it on the big screen. Im 30 yrs old and always spend timing playing Triple A titles, But receiving this as a Christmas gift and now re-living my childhood game playing Pokemon games. Im happy.

Terrible sound bar. I purchased this for my 130sqft room and it sounded awful. This came with center channel included, I would imagine the dialogue separation to be define. Not the case. To top it off, there's no display screen. There's no way to know exactly what the volume level is at. If you want define hi-def Dialogue in your late night viewing, I recommend you to check out the Roku stream bar. Miles ahead of this.

Replace or upgrade your current Roku remote with Roku Voice Remote Pro. Our best remote is conveniently rechargeable, so you can save money on batteries and help keep them out of landfills. Never misplace your remote again with the lost remote finder. Plus, enjoy private listening with connected headphones (sold separately) and set personal shortcuts for one-touch control. Say ~Hey Roku~ to give hands-free voice commands and play entertainment, control your streaming, turn your TV on, and more without having to reach for the remote. You even have the choice between hands-free and push-to-talk voice controls~it~s as easy as flipping a switch. Roku Voice Remote Pro is compatible with all Roku TV brands, Roku audio devices, and most recent Roku players~some older models may not be supported.

These are excellent remotes. Not a fan of Roku Set top box but these are the best remotes out of the competitions. The one that came with my stream bar went into the washer, a dud. So these are not washer friendly like your stock tv remote lol.

I bought 3 of these in the past and 2 out of the 3 has died exactly on the 4yr mark. Came time to replace them and I purchased replacements. Great unit to power but dvr system when power goes out. I have 8 cctv cameras and they run maybe about 30min on back up battery. The downside is these are made to be toss away once the battery go bad, wish this changed to reduce e-waste.

The old ways are giving rise to new truths: not everyone needs a waterproof phone case. N~XT for Apple iPhone 12 Pro Max dives into that reality headfirst, taking you into the action while defending your device from the immediate threats of spills, splashes, dirt, drops and snow. The result: a case that~s always up for what~s N~XT.

Very cool.
on November 11, 2021
Posted by: Strix09
The case feels very high quality but be wary per reviews of the Kevlar fraying. I will keep an eye on it. I purchased a Spigen case with the kick stand as a quick buy when the iPhone 13 pro max came out. There wasnt much cases to choose from. The Spigen is a solid case for anyone looking, but it wasnt Mag safe friendly. So with the sale UAG had, I figured I'll give it a try, does it feel like a 60$ case? Yes it does. Does it feel like it can survive a 16ft drop? Questionable. Cool factor? Extremely cool.

The jack of all Multi-Port adapter for the MacBook
By J0A0A7 from Dallas, TX
As much I enjoyed using my MacBook Air M1, the lack of ports can be a bummer sometimes. With just 2 ports it doesn’t take much to utilize both for charging and displaying to an external monitor. It’s an inconvenience having to unplug one of them to connect my external drive or USB receiver for my keyboard and mouse. The Satechi USB C on the go multiport adapter is the solution to my port problems.
A quick rundown of the specs:
1x HDMI port supports up to 4K 60hz
1x VGA port supports up to 1080P
1x USB C Port with PD charging up to 100W (15W is used to power the adapter)
1x Gigabit Ethernet Port
2x Full-size USB A 3 Ports for Data only
1x USB C for Data only
Micro/SD Card reader slots
One of the features I like is the ability to disconnect the USB C cable and store it away within the adapter. A longer cable is included in case it’s needed. Not only do I like this for portability but for longevity too. With multi-port adapters that have the cable attached you end up being at the mercy of the cable. When the cable goes out you end up with a paper-weight adapter. Having the flexibility of using the short or long cable is a big plus for me since depending on where I’m stationed, there are times a longer cable would have been handy.
I had no issues using the adapter with my MacBook Air M1 to connect my external 24inch monitor (1080p @ 165hz support too), USB receiver for my MX Keyboard and Mouse, external drive while it was charging my device at full speed. The same setup also worked on my Windows laptop. I was able to confirm that it worked with my iPad Mini 6 and Galaxy Note 20 Ultra and Tab S7+ with Dex Support. Now the adapter did get slightly warm but nothing to the point of concern when it was charging my devices like the MacBook and Windows laptop.
One of the features I wasn’t able to test was the VGA port. To be honest I’m still trying to find a reason that would be needed to be used now that most of the displays out there have transitioned over to HDMI and DVI out. Instead of a VGA port, I would of prefer to have seen another HDMI port to drive 2 monitors or a headphone jack.
Overall I was very satisfied with the Satechi adapter. It has a high-end look to it that looks like it was made from Apple itself. The color almost matches my Space Gray MacBook. It also comes in slightly cheaper compared to other multi-port adapters around this price range.

Just recently had BBY installed my Compustar 4905s unit and regret not adding the alarm system. Are these unit plug and play or do they need to be software activated at the module?
