Best Deal out there imho (when on sale)
on December 26, 2020
Posted by: Todd
Verified Purchase:Yes
4.5 Stars. I've been looking to build or buy a Gaming PC that will last a long time (so also wanted brand name HP, Dell, etc) and this gem went on sale (Paid $1k out the door with taxes) and it's a BEAST. Great CPU, Video CCA, and the cool color changing effects are a real nice touch. The reason I docked 0.5 on stars is with 16 G ram (which is plenty) I still was hoping to at some point up'n to 32G ram, just by adding two more 8G sticks. Not the case, only 2 slots for ram, so I will have to take out the two 8 Sticks and put in a drawer forever and install two 16G sticks. But not a huge deal as 16 is more then efficient.

Connect multiple generations of devices with this Dynex midnight blue USB-C to USB adapter cable. Simultaneous charge and sync capabilities let you power up while backing up your data to a separate storage device. The 3-foot length of this Dynex midnight blue USB-C to USB adapter cable is long enough for convenient charging but short enough to transport easily.

Works Great, great price.

Verified Purchase:Yes
I purchase a "lot" from online, but needed one now, so found these at BB and got them due to price. They perform great, I didn't give 5 stars as the material seems like it may not last really long, but it may, I won't know for sure. That is the only negative thing I can say about it. Recommend for bang/buck.

Great Bang for buck Printer
on July 15, 2019
Posted by: Todd
Verified Purchase:Yes
Overall very good printer, satisfied, maybe a little slow on initial printing, but fair after that, but considering price, well worth the 4 star rating. I would give a 5 for workability/price/ease of install ....except, I never could get the Google Cloud Print to work. The point where you allow on printer, it goes back to previous screen when you accept, then eventually times out, and try again..........

NO! Step Away from this Product now!

Verified Purchase:Yes
Horrible, thought I'd give an OTA DVR a chance, been wanting to experiment with them, and the cost of this one on sale, I thought, you can't beat it. It took FOREVER for the auto channel find, then when you would switch a channel, in 1 second you would hear sound, then 3-5 seconds later the video would come in. I never could figure out the DVR part of it. The GUI (Graphical User Interface) is terrible. Switching channels is terrible, and overall performance is terrible, this thing must have a single core ARM cpu in it, ugh!!! I cannot say anything good about it. DO NOT BUY!

Have your new car stereo installed neatly, reliably and professionally by a Geek Squad Autotech. Standard installation doesn~t include vehicle-specific parts or accessories. The cost of parts will vary for stereo installation. Such parts and any additional parts or extensive labor are extra. Your Geek Squad Autotech will provide an estimate prior to performing work that requires an additional charge (including nonstandard installation) and any additional parts. Any additional charges will be assessed after the installation is complete. For additional installation information for your vehicle, find a store with an installation center and speak with a Geek Squad Autotech.

Very good price for very decent sound
on March 12, 2019
Posted by: Todd
from Virginia, USA
Verified Purchase:Yes
Just on sound quality alone, I would give this a 3; however, I purchased these at a CHEAP price so I assumed the sound quality would be sacrificed. I was please that it was not sacrificed much though; hence, the extra star "4" Very decent sound, not real rich bass, but overall pretty good for office wear, car, trips, etc, where you don't want to take your high end $300 headsets. If that is what you are looking for then these are it. Also for the kiddos that are hard on headsets, I'd rather buy them multiples of these than the pricey ones, as you know they are going to chew on the cords or spin them etc......

Blink Wired Floodlight Camera ~ smart security camera, 2600 lumens, HD live view, enhanced motion detection, built-in siren, works with Alexa ~ 1 camera (White)
 

How many phones can be linked to the cameras simultaneously?

For the record, YES they (all blink cams, etc) can be link to multiple phones, devices, etc. "Simultaneous" is the trick phrase here though. Only one device at a time can view then entire system at a time. Example, I was trying to arm our system when leaving garage on motorcycle, but couldn't access it, got error, I noticed LED on camera was on, so I asked wife to stop viewing me long enough to arm, or to arm it after I left, LED went off (she heard me and complied lol) so I was then able to access and arm. Long story short, if someone is accessing, any cam, nobody else can do anything with the system until that person is done. But it is very rare this happens.

Connect a portable device your computer with this Dynex USB-C to USB-A cable. The USB Type-C 2.0 interface is compatible with most smartphones, tablets and storage drives with USB-C ports, providing a reliable charge-and-sync setup. This black Dynex USB-C to USB-A cable measures 3 feet to support a short-distance connection.
 

Does it work with a galaxy note9

I am using it to connect to my Note 10 to PC and the Car Stereo. So if you have USB C on the 9, then it should work.

Will this work with new Roku's to adapt the HDMI to my current stereo inputs? I need to send audio from the Roku through RCA plugs to my current setup.

It should. That is it's intent. Pass thru Video and extract audio to out. I use it on a PS4. Plug HDMI out of PS4, pass thru other HDMI cable to TV, then take optical out to the optical in of my A50 Headset box In you case, you will need a 3.5mm to RCA adapter like this: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/insignia-6-3-5mm-mini-to-rca-stereo-audio-cable-black/4408001.p?skuId=4408001

Can I use this headphones while I take a shower? (This is the kind of questions that you will find here)

Yes you can, but only if you get an 3.5mm extension cable from your pc/mp3 player/ipod/etc that will reach to your shower, then you must put headsets on then wrap an entire roll of saran wrap around your head and headphones to make sure headphones do not get wet, some people say it helps to cover your mouth and nose as well, I don't know as I've never attempted this. Good luck. LOL (I know you were being sarcastic, but I had to respond anyway, so hopefully nobody is dumb enough to wrap saran wrap around their face, but who knows :O )

Will these work on external computer speaker?

If you are referring to the green 3.5mm external speaker out, on your PC, then yes, that is where I have mine attached at work.

Power multiple gadgets with this five-port Anker PowerPort USB hub. Its two Quick Charge 3.0 ports charge devices up to four times faster than previous-generation USB ports, and its MultiProtect system shields you from power surges and helps prevent short circuits. The PowerIQ and VoltageBoost technologies of this Anker PowerPort USB hub optimize charging speed for non-Quick Charge devices.
 

Is it compatible or safe to use with an iPhone 8 and newer? Also, can I plug it into a power strip that has a surge protector?

It will charge the iPhone 8 fine but you must use a USB to Lightning cable, and not a USB-C to Lightning cable (iow, the old style usb connector, not the more rounded new one) and I have mine plugged into a surge protector just fine 115VAC from wall outlet or Surge protector is still 115VAC (normally ac voltage for residential outlets used by product) You're good to go on both questions.
