Only Hadi ITt Two Weeks, But So Far, So Good!

Verified Purchase:Yes
So far it's been great. Bought it to replace an old blu ray player that started skipping/hanging up. This one plays all the discs flawlessly -- even BD-Rs.
I use a Roku, so can't comment on streaming.
4K looks great.

Sounds Great, Additional Features -- No!
on October 4, 2019
Posted by: Duck
Verified Purchase:Yes
Yes, one buys a stereo for the sound. But one also pays the premium price for the additional features. This one fails miserably. You can buy a car stereo that sounds about this good for $200. You pay the other three for the features. That was a mistake.
First, you can't read the display in the daytime. So, if you are using Android Auto to look at a map, you might as well forget it.
While the Android Auto interface is actually pretty good, you have to use the only USB input to connect your phone, so you then can't listen to music on a USB stick. No problem, you say, I'll just connect my mp3 player to the 3.5mm mini jack. Good idea, except there isn't one. You can't connect a music player to the unit.
Speaking of USB sticks, I have no idea how it sequences the music. Even though it's separated into folders, the sequencing of playback is unpredictable. I've used an mp3 tag program to edit all the music metadata and it doesn't recognize track numbers at all. So, I actually renamed the WAV files, starting each with the track number -- Nope. Didn't work. I contacted Pioneer about which USB sticks to use and they actually replied, "Try a Kingston, we have had really good results with that brand. " Well, that's true. And I can tell you, you'll have bad luck with a lot of other name brands.
It does play CDs, but no there is no CD text. Pretty much inexcusable in a $500 unit.
To put this in perspective, I have a Chevy Impala with an LCD screen and CD/Bluetooth/USB stereo. I can see that screen in the brightest sunlight, it does have a 3.5mm AUX input jack, and I have a choice of three USB ports that will play from a USB stick. Not only does it show CD text, but also album art. So, this can be done! And relatively speaking, a Chevy Impala is not an expensive car.
Bottom line, I would not buy this again.

Not Cheap, But Works Well
on October 4, 2019

Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought some other smart bulbs at Costco and ended up returning them. But that was enough to get me hooked on using Google Assistant for the lights so I ended up buying the Philips Hue hub starter kit. The Hue system is extremely reliable and I'm very happy with it. I added these bulbs on sale at Best Buy and would recommend them without hesistation.

For $10, the do the job very well.

Verified Purchase:Yes
You can't expect much for $10, but these deliver for that price.
Needed some cheap speakers for my office computer and these fit the bill.
Given the $10 price, they get five stars. No they don't sound like $300 Bose Companions, but I just wanted something so I don't have to use my headphones in my office for routine listening.

I bought a new Dell XPS 13 with all USB-C connections and all my peripherals are USB A, so these are a necessity.
Charging and data transfer work without a problem.
My wife also has a USB-C computer, so I bought three more on sale.

Three Months and No Problems
on October 4, 2019

Verified Purchase:Yes
I use this for backing up my music collection and its working fine. I bring it to work to listen at my desk, so it's in use easily 3 or 4 times a week at least.
So far so good.
As an aside, in the last ten or more years, I've had about four hard drive failure (various computers, etc.) Three of the four have been Seagate drives and only one WD. For my money, they're the most reliable.

New Interpretation -- Excellent!
on October 4, 2019
Posted by: Duck
Verified Purchase:Yes
I'm a longtime Poirot fan from back in the Peter Ustinov days. Until now, I couldn't imagine anyone better than David Suchet, but Kenneth Branagh's interpretation is extremely well done.
I'm looking forward to the followup, "Death on the Nile".
The 4k transfer is also exceptional.

Overall Excellent Mouse
on March 22, 2019
Posted by: Duck
from Centreville, VA
Verified Purchase:Yes
I had to replace my keyboard and mouse combination and bought the K800 keyboard and this mouse to go along with it. I have an MX2 Anywhere Travel Mouse and was going to buy the full size one, but took a look at this one with pretty much the same capabilities as far as I am concerned (I'm not a gamer) for one third of the price of the full size MX, so I went with this one. Bluetooth was a plus, although my keyboard uses the unifying receiver, so putting them both on the same one wouldn't use an additional USB port, so it really didn't matter.
Anyway, the mouse functions extremely well, very precise with smooth action and response. Feels great in your hand.
I have one minor complaint. There are three buttons on the thumb side, "Forward", "Back", and "Connect" button. Invariably, I press the "Connect" button when I meant to press "Back". The mouse gets pretty confused when you do that and you won't be on the same webpage anymore. Since you only would press connect when connecting the mouse to your computer via Bluetooth or the Unifying receiver, they should have put the button somewhere else.
Also, be aware that it takes a few seconds to wake up and handshake with your computer before it's connected and running. Not too long, but no instantaneous either.
So, if I could give it 4.75 stars, I would, but nothing about this mouse would take it down to four stars, so, I'm rounding up.
It's only been a month, but so far I could not be happier.

Easily replace the factory radio in your GM vehicle with this all-in-one Radio Replacement and Steering Wheel Control Interface with OnStar Retention by PAC. The RadioPRO5 RP5-GM11 interface comes pre-loaded with amplifier and OnStar retention, steering wheel control software, navigation-based output signals and more to help simplify aftermarket radio installation while retaining your vehicle~s factory features. Antenna adapter not included.
Why would a radio that cost $109 with free installation and up costing $270 why do I need all the extra stuff
Well, you probably don't if you're putting in a $100 radio. This retains all factory controls on the steering wheel and other interfaces. I only bought it because I had to for the free installation. They will only use Best Buy stock for their installations. If you have to buy it, price match it. I did, at the time Crutchfield was $30+ less. But if you are planning to install yourself there are equally capable interface cables for less than half that amout.
