I was looking at this, the Klipsch Groove and the Sony XBS-SRS. No one had the Klipsch to listen to. Reviews for the Bose were all amazing. I listened to the Bose and Sony in the store. The Sony didn't have enough base without the Extra Bass turned on and when I did it was too much. At high levels it also sounded flat and constrained. I got the Bose. I am still amazed at the sound friim this speaker. The bass is great. Highs, lows and mids are so balanced. I'm not using this as a main speaker for the house but wanted something for the beach and other trips. I have already used it outside doing things in the yard. Just blown away by the sound it generates. It sounds so good I don't even care about the price which in all honesty seems middle of the road for Bluetooth speakers that have any bass at all. I haven't had it long enough to judge battery life.
The short review is this: Buy it. Trust me.

This thing is great. I can get Prime, Netflix, premium cable networks. It is as good as an AppleTV, but I got this for travel purposes and it is awesome. There is even an app that acts a remote if you lose yours. Important...when you use it in new places with new networks, the only way to get it onto that network is with the remote that comes with it. The app will work after that, but if you have the remote there isn't much reason for it. Cheap, small, light weight and works as advertised, that is a win.

I put these on every phone and iPod touch I've had, and they never cease to perform. They tried to push the glass on me for more money saying they protect better, but I drop my phone all the time and never had an issue. I do also use a Speck Candyshell case. My wife has the glass protector, it is cracked and you can see the adhesive is failing all along the left side so it affects how things look. The InvisibleShield HD also doesn't leave as many smudges as my old base model shield did.

I have never bought this brand before, and my son wanted them since I wouldn't get him the $300 beats. They were more than I wanted to pay, but the sound is actually very impressive. It has a volume control on the cord, and adjustable bass which I don't believe is common for this price range. These are a great set of headphones before jumping into the very expensive ones.

Got this for my son's iPad mini. Protects the iPad well, allows for various viewing angles, and has an elastic that you can barely see to keep it closed when not in use. I got the same one for my iPad.

Like similar products before it, it does strengthen the signal a bit, but doesn't really extend the signal much from where my modem/router reaches. Don't be tempted by saving money to buy this versus dropping $250-$200 on and AC-2400 or AC-3200. You will end up returning this and getting one of those and wish you had gotten the better router to begin with. I got the Asus AC-2400 and it reaches twice as far with faster signals.

My son has gone through many helicopters and they all end up breaking quickly, and don't handle well. Most of those were in the $30 range. Although this is twice as much, it is well worth it. Controls work well, it does tricks, has protective strips around the blades, seems sturdy. Only complaint is battery life. I haven't timed it but seems like we haven't gotten more than 5 minutes off any full charge.

These look very cheap, and feel very cheap. The casing around the opening where you put it into the computer is slightly flexible if you press it. But here's the deal, unless you are crushing it purposely and trying to break it, these work perfectly and cost next to nothing. No reason not to buy it. And they are perfect if you just need to give files to someone. If it was something I was going to use all the time, I might get something a little nicer looking.

 ASUS - Extreme Wireless-AC2400 Dual-Band Gigabit Router - Black
ASUS - Extreme Wireless-AC2400 Dual-Band Gigabit Router - Black
Enjoy wireless Internet access throughout your home with this Asus Extreme RT-AC87R router that features 802.11ac AiRadar universal beamforming technology and 4 detachable dual-band antennas to provide reliable coverage up to 5,000 sq. ft.
 

Does this Asus mu-mimo router solve the problem of many users at the same time?

I am having the problem of Internet dropping with netflix on an x-box 360, an iPad, and an android tablet running at the same time. Will this Asus router fix that problem?
I fixed these problems for me, also makes Sonos run smoother. House is 7,000 sq ft, three stories. This router covers it all.
