tight on the ears, good range of sound
on December 12, 2021
Posted by: kristoffe
Verified Purchase:Yes
The sound is very clear, but it's not full range clear at all. The weight is very nice, but the "noise cancellation" is really the incredible crushing, clamping of these things, it's a bit much if it's warm out, and can make your ears feel a bit irritated after 30 minutes or more. Over time either I adjusted to it or the headphones slowly relaxed a little through use. The bluetooth works well in modern android systems. It does not, however, have aptx in windows 10 or 11. You can download an intel aptx bluetooth driver you can manually uninstall your driver, then add that one and it works if you're using intel chips on your desktop or laptop motherboard and aptx shows up after also running each .inf file you get from the installed package (in the installed folder). I like them, I just don't know if they're worth $99, and certainly not $199. The battery life is good, as is the charge time.

excellent with 60hz or higher monitors
on December 12, 2021
Posted by: kristoffe
I have used tablets for 20 years or more, since they were serial port systems. There's really not too much information that gets polled by these things. Now we have had angle, pressure and velocity for years, but it's the ability for these tablets to actually respond as fast as we draw which is important, without jumping etc. I find my 50" 4k tv works great with a 2080ti 10gb gpu, but this also works on a really old laptop with only 1600x900 res and 2 core 4 thread about 3.1ghz. Photoshop works well, Lazy Nuemi Pro aids a lot in the artistic flow of the pen (it's a plugin) and in most other paint, watercolor, 2d vector stuff like illustrator it is fine. 3d sculpting works well too.
There's something about hand eye coordination that keeps your view clear as the hand is on the tablet not on a screen you're looking at. It's great, for some they prefer the visual cueing.

very good 4k 60hz but colors are not very accurate
on November 28, 2021
Posted by: kristoffe
great tv, it's lasted 4 years now, and is starting to fade a bit into the blue spectrum, dimmer lights, but this thing is on all of the time, for pc and gaming/editing etc, even music at night (black bg). It has a strange pattern in 4k 60hz when looking at details on bright white areas, a striped super thin barely noticeable hum or maybe how the rgb (or bgr on this i forget). still, a fast response, good monitor over the years, not color correct though at all, and can't photoshop on it but still, for the price at the time, totally worth it. The new hisense monitors / tvs in 2021 blow this one away.

Overpriced SMR drive, should be 150 max
on November 6, 2021
Posted by: kristoffe
Verified Purchase:Yes
highly overpriced, $199 at the time 08-28-2021, best buy taking advantage of 'supply chain' pricing bloat, and it wasn't worth it really. The drive uses SMR tech, which means it has to overwrite areas to add more data like shingles on a roof laying on each layer line. That's not good. CMR is what you want. Always check in advance, I had no choice at the time, so I got this in a rush and Best Buy charged what should be the price for CMR. I am not buying or advising HD purchases from Best Buy for a while.

good but awkward to charge, carry, and program
on November 6, 2021
Posted by: kristoffe
Verified Purchase:Yes
Overly loud, even with the adjustments, then it is quite muffled at times, not the clearest from the unit itself with the built in mic. No controls but the basics and only on the receiver, which is ok. Finally they made an app for it on android / iOS, but still it's very awkward to use a computer to modify this. No charger, just 3 usb-c cables make it a chore, the carry case itself is a sewn slip cover that looks like it was made for reading glasses.
You can get lav mics, but they're overpriced at $79+ each on top of $300 for this 11-06-2021, and then you have to think about the transmission quality. Even if you're too far away, you can program these to work on their own as they have their own dram to record 7 hours uncompressed and 18+ hours as mp3 I believe, so that's nice to match up if there's noise in the air so to say.
It's a mixed bag. It's almost a 5/5 over the top awesome, but not with those things to worry about and fiddle with.

not worth the money at all at 5000 mAh
on November 6, 2021
Posted by: kristoffe
Verified Purchase:Yes
5000mAh is really, really small, and I thought 10000mAh was overkill until I looked at my older charger / battery that had 8000mAh. I would return this if I could but it was $13 after some best buy rewards. The larger one is $50 which is also way overpriced (some places charge $70 which is even worse). 11-06-2021

detailed and new to the marvel universe, it works
on October 3, 2020
Posted by: kristoffe
Verified Purchase:Yes
I loved this from the get go, and then working on Creed 2 and then 21 Bridges, I got to be friends with the leads. It's a sad thing to know Chad won't be around, but all the energy he put into this showed wonderfully. Michael too, there was a whole team of people trying their best to make this a mega success, and by the art in itself and box office success, that alone brought it up. The story is a sad one and it comes to a boiling point with one of those "oh...man" moments. You will love it if you love marvel.

I absolutely love this game. I have Part I and thought, ok maybe I will go for part II. I was happy I did, it's like an episode of supernatural and tomb raider mixed into one. You will be happy you played this even if you're new to the franchise.

these m325 mice are cheap and work great
on August 15, 2020
Posted by: kristoffe
Verified Purchase:Yes
So the great part is the speed they are recognized, see that orange flower or asterisk on the usb chuck / module? it can work with many devices at once if they also use that format. The mouse feet eventually rub off, the glue from moisture, heat, friction, so you might in a year or so change those. They stay clean, the left and right mouse buttons might die after insane use over 1-2 years, but a normal user with medium use is looking at 5-10 years. The battery lasts a really long time. I use it all of the time and pop in a rechargeable battery, never looking back for 4-8 months at least.

Wouldn't Turn on and had wrong Graphics Card
By CharlesB
This is pretty much my first review ever, but the experience has been such a nightmare that I thought I'd comment. First off, when I received my pc it would not power on, I enjoy gaming, but when it comes to the hardware I'm fairly clueless. But even with my minimal experience and expertise I was able to notice that the Graphics Card clearly says "GTX" when the specs say it comes with an RTX 4070ti. So at that point I contacted customer service where I was advised that I can take it to the store for an exchange. I will give this a try, and if I can get a working copy with the proper components, I'll update my review. For now, I can't say anything good about the PC itself though. It's a shame, as I usually like MSI products.

someone in the chain stole the 4070ti
December 29, 2023
The 4070 ti was without a doubt taken by someone in the factory (unless the plastic wrap was perfect) or at best buy, a customer who bought it and then put an old gtx in it claiming it didn't work. that could be the op here as well. If I were BB I would cross reference the GTX and see who the serial number is registered to for the card in this new gaming pc.

Work out to the beat with these Skullcandy Method headphones. The sweat-resistant design prevents them from slipping off when things heat up, and the flexible collar has built-in controls that are easy to locate and use. These Skullcandy Method headphones come with round earpiece covers that fit into the ear to block out external sound.
 

I received these as a gift for Christmas and they all of a sudden stopped working. I took them home and charged them and they still will not turn on. I am not sure about the warranty or the limit bit saw in another's answer that Skull Candy insures them??

go directly to their site, they have an amazing return policy if you're in the warranty time period (see your box or their site per headphone warranty length)

My inked wireless became useless after a minor tug to pull them out the cables started tearing from the base I’m just wondering if the method are better built and is the ear piece as big as the inked ? I sleep in mine that’s why i ask.

I bought the method instead after looking at that bad connection on the inked. I thought, that is going to tear. The methods are longer and stronger, you can see it at a best buy irl if you want to as well. Look on youtube for a comparison.

What version of Bluetooth are these ?

Bluetooth® 4.1 right from the skullcandy site, all the way down down down after lots of graphic art mesmerizing the visitor, tech specs. Now, it works with my ZTE MAX, an asus usb2 bt dongle, and my dad's older s5 with some connectivity issues at times depending on the angle of the phone.

What does steady pink indicator mean along with not able to connect all of a sudden.... My phone keep saying cannot pair or communicate ... And also when it is stuck pink like this none of the buttons work .. holding power doesn't achieve anything?

I found i very hard to understand at first, then I turned it off, and then powered it on with the VOL DOWN + POWER held down, and it will start to pair. Make sure it has 5-6 hours charge time and is high up ~100% charge just in case. Then it will say pairing or ready to pair and find it on your device as METHOD WIRELESS and connect. It should work.

With 308 LEDs, this Platinum PT-DVL308C2 video light allows you to achieve rich, bright lighting with balanced color while shooting with your camera. An adjustable mount lets you attach to your camera's standard hot-shoe mount.
 

My question is that I have the battery on the battery charge and its plug on the wall & the light is on and even when I take the battery off the charge light is still on. But when I put it back on the light the light won't turn on. Why is that?

it some sort of memory problem in the battery to charger. I had to buy a neewer charger and decided to get 2 giant batteries with it for $65. I have another different brand led panel that has a crappy small light and charger that did the same thing. Got a 3rd party charger and it charged. Weird, sucks, but then the batteries will charge again in the smaller given charger as well (useless but... best buy)

I've only used this light several times, and the battery ran out of charge. Okay, that's cool. Then I completely charged it, and used it once again for about 5 minutes. I go to use it a few days later and it's completely dead. Does it run out that quick?

it is absolute trash. I wasted my money on this, the battery it comes with is garbage and if you go to 0% sometimes it will not charge. had to buy a charger box and 2 giant batteries to make this thing work past 5-10 minutes. it overheats. it has a delicate lcd for the settings, and overall is just not good.

Is this the final price or it doesn't include the tax?, if so, how much is the actual price at store with tax?

each state charges different tax. only states such as del. don't charge tax and would be the price listed in the store, picked up in person. things mailed to a tax charging state are charged the state tax of the delivery location.
