Doesn't work well with non-Apple
on December 22, 2025
Posted by: Ijohnson
Verified Purchase:Yes
These work well with Apple devices, but with non-Apple connections, I consistently have garbled sound. I have had Beats wired and wireless headphones for years. I have bought them for my kids and wife. I was very happy with the previous version of these and had no issues. After the last generation eventually died on me I bought these to replace them, but these don't like to work with a Samsung smart monitor, a Steamdeck, a Nordic Track treadmill and intermittent issues with other non-Apple products.

Expensive but great future proofed router
on February 7, 2021
Posted by: Ijohnson
Verified Purchase:Yes
Was running into device cross talk lag (intra network) and inability to access full internet speeds through our last-generation Apple AirPort Extreme and Airport Express.
Got these to future proof to gigabit capability. Happy with the ease of setup, coverage, speed and app.
Had one issue with the speed test through the app that stopped working after initial setup. Router and satellite still worked. When trying to fix with a re-setup the router would not initiate properly again. I did a factory reset and ended up changing the network name and password from what it had been previously and it finally initiated properly. Once it was up and running I changed the network name and PW back to what we had before. Using the same network name and PW seemed to be causing the setup process to fail somehow.
Our dozens of connected devices all have a solid connection to one another and the outside world now.

Xfinity upgrade
on February 7, 2021

Verified Purchase:Yes
Great modem for Comcast Xfinity. Xfinity app reads status and can instigate a reboot if there are issues. Upgrading to gigabit capability for future proofing. Surprisingly bigger form factor than my previous CM700.

Not good for TV
on January 29, 2021
Posted by: Ijohnson
Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this to use with a smaller smart TV. It transmitted, but with extreme buzzing. This could have been because I left it attached to the usb charger since I didn’t need to be using it remotely.
I ended up returning and getting the more expensive big brother from Aluratek that has worked perfectly.
Maybe a misapplication, but I would have hoped to be able to leave attached to power without making the unit unusable.

Great project companion
on November 21, 2020
Posted by: Ijohnson
Verified Purchase:Yes
I was torn when getting this speaker, debating between it and some of the competition, but have been very happy with my decision.
I decided based on my experience with some other Sony audio products. The sound is adjustable through the app, so if it isn’t quite to your liking, get in there and tweak it. I turn the bass boost on for music and off for audio books.
This is mainly used for the garage and around-the-house while doing projects speaker.
I’m delighted compared to my experiences with last generations Bluetooth speakers. This Sony connects quickly and easily, the sound is terrific and the battery life is astounding.
I’m usually a black color picker, but this dusty blue is classy.

Great extension for computer speakers

Verified Purchase:Yes
I moved my computer speaker setup and did not want to use the octopus of connectors on the end, so this cable allows me to hide that mess and cleanly extend to reach to where my laptop sits. Does the job perfectly!

Strong enough to capture years-old dirt
on November 21, 2020
Posted by: Ijohnson
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is the best vacuum cleaner I have ever used, much less owned. We went with an “animal” since the brush on our older Dyson routinely got wrapped up with the hair from the three women plus a long haired cat in our home. It has been great in that regard and what small amount of hair does get wrapped is easily removed. The greatest thing though is the suction! We have older carpets and over the past month of using the Dyson it fills the collection bin with dirt and fluff. We are a clean family clean despite having 4 kids, so this isn’t all new. This is dirt from YEARS ago that has never been extracted because the vacuums weren’t strong enough. Our carpets are visibly fluffier and feel cleaner. The ball rolling and turning makes navigation a breeze.
The vacuum isn’t perfect. I liked our previous Dyson expandable hose system better and the head flops down too easily when trying to tilt it back to move when not actively cleaning, but definitely livable.
Overall, I completely recommend.

Engaging gameplay with a dash of history

Lara Croft has come a long way as a character. Super fun game with good play time (I don’t like incredibly long or short games). Lots to accomplish. Really fun playing this while reading the book 1491. The visuals brought some subject matter to life!

Best wireless I’ve used
on August 23, 2020
Posted by: Ijohnson
Verified Purchase:Yes
I had the previous generation with the looped wire that you had to put in front of or behind your neck. These are a true wireless experience. The whole experience is flawless and switching control between different (Apple) devices is seamless. The charging case might be a little bulky, but protects and it is a joy to put them away for a bit and come back out with a full charge. I’m usually a black and white color guy, but the dark blue that I got is really nice.

Stream audio from your TV wirelessly with this Bluetooth audio transmitter and receiver. You can stream to one Bluetooth headset or two headsets and/or Airpods simultaneously. Enjoy the freedom to walk around while listening to theTV up to 100 feet away. Receiver function allows you to bluetooth enable an audio device and stream to that device from a bluetooth phone, tablet, PC. Features include digital and analog audio inputs for compatibility with a variety of TVs and other devices, dual headphone / speaker connectivity, and Qualcomm aptX Low Latency technology for high-fidelity audio with no lip-sync delay.
Will this make my TV Bluetooth capable and able to transmit to wireless Bluetooth Speakers? Thank you.
I have this on a non-Bluetooth tv and it indeed makes it Bluetooth capable. I have mine hooked up through the optical port, so I just mute the tv and use Bluetooth headphones. You can’t adjust the volume from the tv remote, but this would be able to transmit the audio signal out to Bluetooth headphones or speakers.
