The soft, plush cushions of these Bose over ear wireless headphones seal you in. Then you flip the switch and whoosh ~ the world fades. The music starts. It~s love at first listen. The original Bluetooth headphones are back, now with signature active noise cancelling technology and premium comfort. Plus proprietary technology for deep, clear sound, and adjustable EQ so you can tune your music to your liking. Bose QuietComfort 45 over-ear headphones. An icon reborn.

Incredible Comfort, Good Sound
on March 8, 2024
Posted by: TommyBoy
Verified Purchase:Yes
Coming from a wired headphone setup on my desk with world-class components, no battery powered bluetooth set is ever going to compete on sound quality. But given the limitations of bluetooth, the Bose QC45 produce a totally usable level of audio quality. It goes up dramatically using the provided cable directly into your computer but thats not why I bought these. They are easily the most comfortable pair of headphones I own and the active noise cancellation works extremely well. I got them on sale and in no way regret the purchase. At full price, your options grow and you might compare them in store to the Sony competition (less comfortable, marginally better sound.)

While it worked, its read/write was exceedingly slow. And it didn’t last long. I’ll stick to Sandisk in the future.

The Quick-Release Battery Pack allows you to have backup power for select battery powered Ring Doorbells and Cameras. To charge your battery pack, simply connect it to a micro-USB cord and plug it into a power outlet. If the battery pack in compatible Ring Video Doorbell or Securtiy Cam runs out of power, you can remove your batteries by pressing the quick-release tab on the battery pack. Then, simply slide your second battery pack into your device, and you~re good to go.

Ummm. It’s a replacement battery. What do you expect. It works like it’s supposed to. I took the old one out. I put the new one in. And life is back to normal. Not sure that earns any less than five stars.

It’s a solid microwave. Good features. Beautiful design. Pain in the butt to install. If I had to do it again, I’d pay Best Buy to install. But overall, im pleased with the microwave. Hoping it lasts longer than my last two contractor grade units.

Works Better Than Any Other Cleaner for Pet Odors
on December 22, 2023
Posted by: TommyBoy

This stuff is magic. Nothing removes pet odors like this product and it has a pleasant scent to it. I keep a spray bottle of diluted cleaner under my sink for small touch ups between carpet cleanings. Works flawlessly in my Bissel upright carpet cleaner.

Don~t let the sleek and lightweight design of the BISSELL TurboClean PowerBrush Pet fool you ~ this machine is tough on pet messes that happen on carpet and area rugs. The less than 13-pound machine packs a powerful cleaning punch. The four-row DeepReach PowerBrush Roll works with BISSELL formula to remove pet messes like dog and cat urine, vomit and mud. It's easy to quickly grab if Fido has an accident on the area rug or tracks mud in from the backyard. This machine has a two-tank system, meaning clean water and formula are kept in one tank, while dirty water is pulled into a separate tank, so you never put dirty water back on your carpet or area rugs. The TurboClean PowerBrush Pet is lightweight and powerful, so it's great for smaller living spaces that may have limited storage. When you're done using it, features like the easy-to-remove water tanks and a removable nozzle make maintenance simple. And this product doesn't just easily clean up after pets, it helps save them, too! BISSELL proudly supports BISSELL Pet Foundation and its mission to help save homeless pets. When you buy a BISSELL product, you help save pets, too. We~re proud to design products that help make pet messes, odors and pet homelessness disappear.

A Must for Every Pet Owner
on December 22, 2023
Posted by: TommyBoy
Verified Purchase:Yes
If you use it once, it’s paid for itself. It literally cost me more to hire a service to clean one room of carpets. The tank isn’t particularly large, but given no built in heater, refilling more frequently means keeping hot water in the cleaning process. A little bit of a pain to empty and refill but not as much as having to rent a machine and haul it home. Overall, This Bissel is an insane value. Combined with the “Urine Eliminator” carpet cleaner, it’s a pet-owner’s must own.

The MagSafe Charger makes wireless charging a snap. The perfectly aligned magnets attach to your iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Pro, iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 13 or iPhone 13 Pro, iPhone 12 or iPhone 12 Pro and provide faster wireless charging.

Really good if you have a USB-C power supply.
on May 26, 2023
Posted by: TommyBoy
Verified Purchase:Yes
The whole using magnets thing to find the right exact charging spot on your phone is nothing less than a game changer. No more not getting it just right on the old style charger and waking up to a 9% charge. It’s just works. My reason for docking a star is the fact that it’s USB-C. Look I know everything Apple is moving that direction but almost none of us have spare USB-C chargers sitting around. Either package it with the power supply or make one in each USB connector style. Annoying.

Its compact form can fit the smallest of spaces, and its simple plug-in installation means you'll have peace of mind in no time.

Good but not Magic.

Verified Purchase:Yes
As far as sound quality is concerned, this thing blows away the competition from Amazon. It produces a far better frequency range and nice spatial dynamics. Also, having my entire music library already in the Apple ecosystem, it was a no brainer that I needed one of these. That said, it’s kind of boring. I guess because it just does what it’s supposed to without making a fuss. Setup is ridiculously simple. I tell it to play something and it plays it.
I suppose my one criticism is that the overall volume level isn’t high enough to overpower my treadmill motor. But I can’t expect a miracle from a softball sized speaker I suppose. Otherwise, it’s great. Priced right for an Apple product. And I’d buy it again.

LOVE this little drive!
By TommyBoy
Good grief! I've been using WD My Passport hard drives for a decade. This is my first external SSD. I moved my Apple Photos library onto it and had the immediate reaction of "where have you been all my life?" The speed difference the added bandwidth provides is kind of unreal. And this drive doesn't even take full advantage of the Thunderbolt speeds my new Mac Mini is capable of. These little drives are great! It looks like WD may be discontinuing them in lieu of their SanDisk SSD drives. I got this one for less than $100 and at that price, it was a steal!

UPDATE: Dead drive within 2 months of ownership.
January 20, 2025
I can't figure out how to change my rating, but I'd move this from a 5 star to a 0 star if I could. I've had incredibly good luck with WD external hard drives. They just run forever. Not the case with this SSD. After about 6 weeks of use, it began unmounting itself regularly. And now it won't mount at all. Drive Utility can see it, but Drive First Aid fails with a whole host of bad sectors and cannot mount. THANK GOD FOR TIME MACHINE BACKUPS! I'm currently restoring my Photos Library from my backup drive. I loved the speed of this little drive. SSD is most definitely the future, but I'm quite certain I won't be buying another one from WD or SanDisk.

Protect large outdoor areas like the driveway, garage or backyard with motion-activated LED floodlights, 1080p HD video, and a built-in security siren. Customize the motion zones to monitor specific areas and get real-time notifications when motion is detected. Use the Ring app to see what~s happening, turn on the lights, speak to visitors, and even sound the siren when you need to.
 

I am looking into ring so much confusion about what I will need. So first question, can this camera be wired to a long extension cord and then be plugged in? What would I need to purchased to make it work?

I doubt it. This light is really made for hardwiring into a fixture box. Like remove an old flood light from house and replace with this. If you haven’t ever done this kind of electrical before, you may want to get some help. Messing with 120 can really shock you. I’m not entirely sure but I think there are other products that may be able to be used with a wall plug. This isn’t one.
