It works as intended.

The device works fine, but if you have an ultrawide monitor and are using a M2 Macbook Air, you will need to use the display port rather than HDMI. Sometimes the screen flickers when you fist connect, but other than that it's a fine dock. I just wish there was more USB-C ports.

The Good: These have been great for running. Was orignally using Airpod Pro 2's but they werent stable. The sound is great. Pairs seamlessly with all of my apple products. (don't know what the experience is like with Android...(yet, hint hint) The battery life is phenomenal.
The Bad: Sometimes the right earbud doesn't seat properly and won't charge. Just make sure you verify the contact magnets are seated properly before you walk away.

Solid Sound. Both in delivery and in Cancellation

So picture this. You are playing Horizon Zero Dawn with these bad boys on. You are immersed in your objective and plugging away. Suddenly, your wife (who is 25 feet away from you) cuts her finger.... BADLY. She is in need of stitches. She is screaming for you. And you. hear. NOTHING. Not a sound makes it through the immersive audio tickling your auditory system.
don't worry, my kids got my attention and we stitched up my wife's finger. But yeah, these things work.

As Useful as you Make it

If you live in the Apple ecosystem, then I recommend at least one of these. Providing the "core functionality of a voice assistant (minus the gimmick you get from Alexa or Google) is helpful under the right cases. We use them for our smart home, as intercoms, as well as for timers/alarms/reminders. Great for playing music, but lack as tv speakers. You gotta really want them for more than one to make sense.

While I wouldn't use this for my living room, it is beyond perfect for my garage TV. I especially love the arm's ability to turn the tv as well as rotate it between portrait and landscape (not that I watch TV in portrait, but hey it's cool to have as an option). No matter where Im at in my garage, I can adjust the TV to have a the desired view and visibility. Great for watching a the game or a YouTube video as I'm working on a project. 10 outta 10 would recommend.

Bought this TV for my garage. Should have waited to buy a better one. Sometimes I need to unplug it and plug it back in to get the screen to turn on. Wifi will randomly disconnect. Once I upgrade my den tv and move the current one into the garage, this will become target practice.

This little guy lives in my EDC tech pouch. Seeing as I have to daily carry a laptop, iPad, and 2 phones, Having 1 charging brick that can keep me mobile is optimal.
The sticker shock hurts in the beginning, but the convenience and efficiency it brings me is worth every penny.
only thing to be mindful off, is it gets a tad warm after a while.

I work from home and have a personal computer (MacBook pro) and a work computer (HP notebook). Switching between them is a breeze by simply pressing 1 or 2 on the top of the keyboard. This is great for people with multiple devices (Max of 3). Will even pair with my iPad Pro
