Best Apple branded workout headphones
on June 1, 2025
Posted by: Seth
Verified Purchase:Yes
This review is written with the following things in mind:
1) I need ear hooks for running and listening to music
2) I subscribe to Apple Music
3) I don't particularly like the earbuds as much as over the head, but with the right size they only bother after an extended period of time
All said, these are a significant upgrade from older versions of the Powerbeats. The transparency mode works great, the ANC is not as good as other headphones but is not expected to be, and the spatial audio is awesome. I was just waiting for them to have USBC charging and it was worth the several year wait for that. Do yourself a favor and when they go on sale grab em!

Prepare for Trouble
on June 1, 2025
Posted by: Seth
Verified Purchase:Yes
While this set was still released during one of the Poke-crazes, there seems to be better printing supply. However, the Best Buy drops needs serious work, the queue system is atrocious and having to do it on a mobile phone makes sense, but the app crashes like crazy. I have no idea how I managed to get one but even just the box looks good and the cards inside are great!

The USB-C to 3.5mm headphone jack adapter lets you connect devices that use a standard 3.5mm audio plug - like headphones or speakers - to your USB-C devices.

Small but mighty

Hopefully the last adapter for headphones any of us will have to buy for the foreseeable future. Would be nice if they offered a braided option, but then again this is rarely used and is just for very particular circumstances.

Ultimate Price for the Ultimate Steelbook
on January 21, 2024
Posted by: Seth
Verified Purchase:Yes
Was not expecting this steel book on my bingo card any time soon, so had to swoop it up. Clever design but is not jaw dropping. The disc quality is crispy and the audio is action packed. Would highly recommend for any steel book collector. Sad to think this might be one of the last Best Buy steel books considering they are moving away from physical media.

Great slip for a movie with options
on June 14, 2023
Posted by: Seth
Verified Purchase:Yes
This movie has had a lot of different editions over the years, but this edition is arguably the sleekest. Huge fan of these steelbooks that have a slipcover incorporated, as just opening the movie becomes extremelt visually appealing. Great stuff.

Cool collectible but par design
on June 14, 2023
Posted by: Seth
Verified Purchase:Yes
While the image on the front is bigger than expected, that does not take away from the overall look feelikg kind of bland. I suppose I am more used to the Best Buy exclusives that really go all out for movies, while Toy Story had colorful ones a few years back. Of all the Disney anniversary collection this felt like the right one to get and I stand by it, but if you already have another special edition of this movie it probably is not worth replacing.

A different way to do headphones
on May 11, 2023
Posted by: Seth
Verified Purchase:Yes
The perfect running headphones— can perfectly hear my surroundings (like a bike coming up behind me wanting to pass on the trail), while also providing a very decent quality of sound. I’ve also started using them at work when I want a slight distraction from the office, but still have the ability to hear if someone is calling. Very cool technology.

Go-to tilting secondary HDMI monitor
on May 31, 2022
Posted by: Seth
Verified Purchase:Yes
Great second monitor for working. I got this on sale and open box excellent condition. The only reason I am giving it four and not five stars is because I quickly realized the input card is not the most secure. I had to look up the manual to take it apart and secure it myself, allowing the HDMI cable to thread correctly and deter any flickering (improper connection issues). I love the stand, as it is tall enough to put things on the base such as miscellaneous office supplies. The number of ports is welcome, but I only use the one HDMI for now and do not plan to hook up speakers to it. The default color settings match the Windows computer and the refresh rate is welcome and is easy on the eyes. I think what it comes down to is whether you want a basic monitor that can tilt, and yes this has a good range (as I said I like the stand very much). Wait for this to go on sale and get this if you need a go-to secondary monitor.

West Side Steelbook
on May 31, 2022
Posted by: Seth
Verified Purchase:Yes
As expected, an extremely well done retelling of a classic tale. Upon the end credits you read "For Dad" -- so it is safe to say Spielberg held himself to a high standard when making this movie. I will admit that Ansel as the lead plays the course par compared to the rest of the cast, but I do not think that takes away from the movie itself. With a cast so rich, it is hard to go wrong. I have no strong opinion on which movie version is better, but I do know this newer one pays lovely tribute to it while trying to be its own retelling. Highly recommend. The steelbook is quite unique and getting this for my mom was a choice I standby!

Apple~s thinnest and lightest notebook gets supercharged with the Apple M1 chip. Tackle your projects with the blazing-fast 8-core CPU. Take graphics-intensive apps and games to the next level with the 7-core GPU. And accelerate machine learning tasks with the 16-core Neural Engine. All with a silent, fanless design and the longest battery life ever ~ up to 18 hours.~ MacBook Air. Still perfectly portable. Just a lot more powerful.

Cost effective entry to Apple environment
on May 31, 2022
Posted by: Seth
Verified Purchase:Yes
Get this on sale and it's arguably the best deal to break into the Apple environment. Yes, the hard drive is small so if you can swing it get the next up (you cannot upgrade it yourself since everything is soldered to the board now, I mean go ahead and try there's just a high chance of failure). I bought this not for the processing power (it works great for what I need, no crazy graphical work) but because of the efficiency. The M1 chip is uncanny, I can do so much internet browsing / miscellaneous work and the battery just lasts forever. Charging it really does not take that long either, with charging it briefly still amounting to at least an hour of work. Yes, 8GB of RAM is not the best standard in this day and age but 8GB soldered to the board seems to be on par with 16GB of RAM in your basic Windows Machines! Price matched with MicroCenter (despite them telling me they do not do that at first) and got this for $850 -- an Apple laptop for that price I know will last.

Improve your video quality with this Manfrotto aluminum tripod. Its Befree Live fluid video head provides accurate camera balancing to prevent blurred footage, and its tube legs can be placed at either of two angles. This Manfrotto aluminum tripod has a fluid drag system for smooth movement while panning or tilting.

Almost perfect
By Seth from Columbus, OH
Absolutely love the Manfrotto plate. I have never used a tripod that had a better camera locking mechanism for such a fair price. However, this tripod does not have a leveler which is a bit disappointing. Expect to pay about $50 more if that is important to you. My camera has a built in level view, so it is not that big of a deal to me, but to others I must warn you.

Correction!
September 20, 2018
I lied, this tripod does had a leveler and of course I just didn’t notice it until now because the one I was using before was much less subtle. This, however, does not have a light up on the leveler but I would still update my review to 5/5 stars.

Upgrade or replace your current switches with TP-Link Tapo Matter-Certified Smart Switches. Works in most homes with a neutral (white colored) wire for simple installation. TS15 offers a seamless way to control your home ambience across all major smart home platforms. With easy installation, voice control capabilities, and remote monitoring, it provides convenience and flexibility in managing your lighting preferences.
 

Is the switch compatible with Kasa iPhone app?

Unfortunately, this switch uses the TP-Link Tapo application instead of the Kasa Smart app. The apps are essentially the same user interface, but these newer products that support matter required a separate app, as they have some slightly different capabilities that would not be compatible in the same app ecosystem as the previous generation. However, if you use Alexa or Google Home, you would still be able to consolidate all your smart devices into the respective smart home app. With Matter support, you could also use Apple Home now, whereas you could not before.
