Got this to assist in turning front lights off and on in case I forgot or did not want to walk to the other side of house to turn the lights off. Although it is rather frustrating when want to turn on the light and have to go get my phone to do it (via app). Works very well for when I am coming home and want to turn on the lights from the outside before entering. Also you can run a setting to tell it when to turn on and off when you are not home or out late (make it look like you are home). Down side for me is, I have to make sure my phone has wifi turned on to get the lights to work. Although if you do not have wifi in your area the unit will still work as it creates its own hotspot. On a home wifi you can control this anyway in you place. Also works with Google Assistant with just a simple request. So I do enjoy the remote access this gives me, but would be nice to have a mic on it, in case I just want to shut it off without using my phone (clapping, snapping, or even a button to push)
I would recommend this to a friend!

Did some research on this item before purchase and I was so excited to have one available at my local store. Kind of a odd size, but still plenty of room for my needs. After looking at the stats I was looking forward to get this on my computer. Well it is faster than any external drive I have ever owned. It is still not faster than my extreme flash drive. The diags for this, rated the speed around 180-200 mbs ( was supposed to be up to 5gbs via USB 3.0). I am happy with it as is, but wish it was closer to the advertised speed. I can play all my online games on it with no issues. Run heavy programs like Photoshop and Premiere with little to no lag. So all in all I was glad I got it and wished I could have afforded the larger version.

First off, make sure you read the little instructions they give you. Second, forget those instructions and download the manual online. make sure you download the correct app from your phone store and you are 90% done.
Setting up was easy after initial charging time (1 hour charge for 45 mins of play). Connected this little hellion and the fun ensued. Love it can change colors and it is easy to control. Not so good on high carpet, but that is to be expected.
I was able to align the steering fast and then took off around the house. this sucker is fast so be warned. Played the included games (flight, maze, and block) all use the gyro inside the sphero. All I can say is 45 mins went fast as I was having so much fun teasing the dog and bugging the wife.
Contents:
Sphero
charging cable (no wall adaptor)
bag of cones and "bowling pins"
instructions (in too many languages)
display case.
When you get it all charged and ready to sync, The instructions tell you to find unit. It come up as SM (sphero mini) and the unique unit number (like sm1234) so be on the look out for that. Unit can be turned off through app (but you will have to plug in to turn on) or you can let it "sleep" and to wake it up you tap the outer shell.
In order to charge it you must open the casing. To do this, place slight pressure on seam and crack like a plastic egg.
Highly recommend to all and everyone. Getting some for gifts right away.

First off, I have been looking for something like this for awhile. Well here it is and I must say I am impressed. After using this for about a week I have a good idea what they were going for and what was needed in improvement.
Pros:
Good connection and signal distance.
Quick and easy sync to phone.
Long battery life compared to other headsets (depending on usage).
Comfortable to wear.
Easy to answer calls and buttons are in excellent location.
Fits any 3.5mm wired headphone cable (both in ear and over ear).
Cons:
Included headphones are junk. too tinny and cabling is thin.
Retaining clips are small as they barely fit normal headphone cabling to the point I was afraid to break my Bose headphones.
Back cable management is not the best as the soft silicone flap is not strong enough to keep cables from falling out ( I had to use twist ties to keeps them under control).
That is the run down for these little marvels of audio. I enjoyed the sound that was produced with my Bose in this unit. Almost sounded wired and full spectrum. Once the cabling was tackled they really have the design and functionality to use as "everyday" bluetooth headsets with plenty of hours to get through the longest work out and still have life left for the rest of the day. I do wish they had a app to control sound structure (bass, treble, etc) but that can be accomplished on the phone or audio device as solution.
All in all I would and will recommend these to family and friends that have existing headphones but would like to go wireless.

I have stuck with another brand for a long time and thought they could do no wrong. Well they got full of themselves and let the world pass them by. Along comes Asus to the rescue. Not only was it the size I needed to fit my busy laptop lifestyle, but it was also the fastest one I ever owned. Hooking up at a work site with a A broadcast I am getting 200mbs from this item. Even my other one (twice the price) is only getting 130mbs on it's best day. Highly recommend for the laptop crowd that needs space saving with the speed compromise. I never take it out of the usb slot and use it to shotgun my laptops built in wifi. so grand total is 200mbs on usb and 300mbs on the onboard. Who needs cable at this rate..

First off this is not a light item. wife had a hard time getting the box in the house (her idea, not mine). So with that being said it is a very well built vacuum/cleaner. I don't have much of a problem using it as I am use to the slight pull most higher end cleaners have. But if you are not ready it will kinda get away from you. Filling the chem bottle can be tricky and if not careful you might spill some, but once it is in, you are good to go. I attempted to clean the hallway carpet with this and I will say it did a great job. Some stains and such will require a few treatments, but it did get alot of dirt that I did not think what there in the first place. I have owned other cleaners before but never a pet version. I will admit I was not sure how well it would work on my dogs little messes, however it did not require much effort to work its magic on the affected areas. Vacuum, saturate, set, and extract moisture, this was easy and very clean in the end. I would get this for anyone in my family that needs a good deep cleaning and has pet allergies since it will remove the "odor" that might linger after the surface cleaning is done with more pet accidents. Truly a wonder and godsend of cleaning and freshening up my whole house.

First I have to say, this little speaker has fantastic sound. I charged it up and set it free. This was used with Pixel XL phone using Slacker. I can not believe the sound this was producing. Clear highs and great lows for such a small speaker. I tried different genres of music and each one was just as crisp and clear as the last.
With many hours of battery life I will be enjoying this portable speaker on many outings for a long time to come.
Standard micro USB charging makes it easy to find somewhere to juice it up (car, home, office or even battery pack). I would and will get this for friends and family who enjoy a great sounding speaker without having to struggle with size.
Options include: play/pause, volume up and down, power button for on/off as well as sync. All encased in a black on slight grey pattern

Got the headphones in a green color (my favorite color) and liked that it came with both a single line (audio and mic) connection for any device that will use this. It also came with a split cable to separate the audio and mic for my computer use. Nice fit and not heavy at all, which is good because they are a little larger than I am use to. It came with rounded ear cups (oval available for $15 on website) and they were very comfortable and easy to adjust to my preferred wearing style.
Now the nitty gritty.
sound is average with it being somewhat on bass heavy. This means that the mids are not always present in the mix. highs are good without being hurtful and bass is useful of you game with war like sounds (call of duty, etc). however on a talking standpoint it will not be 100% useful for gaming instructions.
Normal stereo plug type of interface. This means that unless you run the app from Razer on your laptop or computer you will not get the simulated surround sound that most other headsets have, due to them having usb soundcard interfaces included in the box. So out of the box you will get whatever sound is produced by your system sound card in strictly stereo sound.
Cable length is great. the first single connection seems to be quite long, but when added to split connector you will have room to move without being hindered. I had to wrap mine up to keep from rolling over it with my chair.
Basic fit is good and very comfortable, however with long playing times it will give a warm sealed fit on your ears. So if you get hot easy just make sure to vent yourself randomly to keep the fun going. I used to slide one earcuff off and use one for those times but these do not rotate back and forth so I am not able to do this with these headphones. Also since the last statement is a issue the headphones feel a little less sealed on the backside with this restriction.
Build is great and they do not look or feel like they will have issues anytime soon. very solid and robust. I do not see having to replace these with normal use (maybe drop or two, taking off and on, or adjusting height).
Microphone is good but not great. it does not come through with "stereo" and will be flat sounding when used. very clear and extremely sensitive so you will need to adjust accordingly. Also the mic is able to be pushed back into the headset to hide out of the way when not in use. I have to mute the mic since with it on I can hear myself breathing. but at least I don't have to yell to be hear right?
All in all I would prefer a 7.1 surround integrated in the system like my other brand, but I did always like the Razer headphones (I have quite a few for other uses) and never had issues with fit, build, comfort or audio clarity. So I would buy these for family and friends if they are in need of gaming headphones that will last for may years.

I am happy to say these have great sound, if you can find a pair of ear sleeves that fit you. The default attached were too big so I put smaller ones on. This worked to get them in my ear but were too loose to close the area around my ear for proper sound. You must get a good seal on the headphone to get any decent sound quality to come out. The bendable ear stems do not hold shape for smaller ears and if you tilt to one side or move your head to quickly they will come off easy. With that said I did enjoy them for non movement times (sitting, walking, standing) and with 5 hours of battery life it was decent to use them. However even with the app not installed (health tracking) I would still hear the prompt "Adjust headphones" many times as I was putting them on and just getting ready to use them ( since it was trying to read my heart rate). So that was annoying to say the least.
In conclusion, I would use these if they were given to me, but I would not buy them with the battery life they have since most of my audio listening is done in longer times then these can manage.
In the package you would get:
headphones
manual
charging cable (usb)
installed ear gels with 4 additional sizes to customize your fit
carry case ( zippered circular type)
and warranty cards in different languages
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

First off this is a powerhouse of blending, and mixing. I attempted to make a smoothy but the amount of ingredients used was not enough to mix it fully. I had to add more to get the unit to reach its potential. That said it was a quick and utter delight to use. The speeds that are available are plenty more then I think I can use. Also the IQ system is almost a "set it and forget it" type of thing. It will mix, pulse, pause and resume during its rotation to make sure all the goodies are mixed correctly. I look forward to using this for cooking more often as it will help with the final prep work I need to get the job done.

Can you connect these to two devices at the same time like work phone and personal phone (multipoint bluetooth)

I have not been able to do this function on these buds. Most smaller units I have used don't have any (or good) multi-point connections as it wears the battery down faster.

chances are, they do that to make them backwards compatible with older systems that can not handle that throughput on the motherboard. But you bring up a good point.

if you mean taping, stacking, arranging or making boxes, then yes they will work great.
But I would not wear any headphones while boxing. what happens if you get in the ear? sounds painful to me. However to mellow this answer out. if you can find the fit that keeps them from falling out. then sure shadow box all you want. The heart rate is not spot on, but it is a good general idea of what it is and can be used for fitness tracking.

Can you change the name instead of "Ok Google"?

I asked that and the answer was a round about " Uh No". I would like to change it as well but then again if you named it something else and then a person with that name was in the room it would keep getting triggered. So Alexa sounds nice, but I doubt I would find someone with Google as a name.

Can this be used if the phone the main account is tied to is not at home? IE: Could my wife ask it to play music from Google Play if I'm not there? I'm not asking about family accounts but if this will remember my account if my phone isn't around?

this unit uses your home wifi to connect to the services needed. The app is only needed to set it up the first time. Anyone can talk to it at anytime .However if asked what is my name it will respond with the account holders name as a answer. My wife asks for music all the time while I am not in range and it works great

IS Philips - hue White LED Starter Kit required in order for the speaker to work?

not sure why a led controller would be needed for speakers to work. Once it is set up the speakers are on already and waiting for you to command it to play something audiowise or music through your default music account (spotify, pandora, etc)
