At first, my kids were kind of put off by the small chargers, but after a little while they realized how awesome it is to have some extra juice in the car, at the beach, hanging with friends, etc. They use the chargers constantly, and I find them all over the house where they were being used - even in the bathroom where they were used to keep a phone going to play music while "getting ready". This has been a big hit.

My kids love this! They use it constantly, and are almost in a panic if they forget it. It allows up to 2 devices to be charged, and can do one after the other as well. The readout is percent full, so you know when it gets low and when it is full. This has been a big hit.

I bought this for my wife who wanted a speaker in the kitchen to use with her iPhone and streaming music. The sound is great - even better than the Jam which we also have and love. The whole case is rubberized, and the jacks in the back are covered with a rubber flap. The controls are large, easy to use, and on top so easy to access. The Bluetooth pairing is easy. My kids end up taking it all over the house and outside on the deck. I'm not worried about it getting wet, and it is as solid as it looks. There is a single regular USB port in the back to charge other devices, but you cannot listen to the speaker and charge another device at the same time. If you want a great sounding portable Bluetooth speaker for less than any other comparable speaker, this is it.

The Penguins are awesome! Finding out a little about their back story and seeing them pull off their usual team antics is great fun. Only reason it doesn't get 5 stars is that it was just a little too predictable. A great ride for the family.

The overall premise was interesting, and the stunts and action scenes (while few) were wild. The big problem I had was that the movie still took place within Max's lifetime, maybe 20-30 years after the apocalypse, but the cultural aspects shown in the movie would take generations to develop. The giant water storage facility and hydroponics would likely have taken 100-200 years to develop in such a world. While some small cult religions can develop in a matter of years, the extent of the ones depicted are multi-generational. It would have been better if they scrapped the Max character altogether and just made it seem like it really was 100 or 200 years later.

This was easy to install and configure, and my kids were able to connect their devices on their own. We have a 60 foot-long ranch with the wifi router in one corner. The farthest bedroom got maybe 1-2 bars out of 5 on a laptop. With the extender in the middle, that bumped up to 4 bars. An iPhone in the same bedroom would constantly switch to data from wifi but the extender allowed it to stay on wifi. Using the NetGear wifi analytics app (which is awesome), the signal difference between the router and the extender can easily be gauged all around the house. I plugged the unit into a hallway outlet. It is very small with flexible antennae that won't break when a teenager bumps into it (!). Simple, easy, cost-effective.

A great underlying theme, with a few seen-it-before concepts thrown in to pump the action. Morgan Freeman and Scarlett Johansen are always great to watch.

The headphones are very comfortable and have great sound, but they require a cable to connect them to the PS4 controller for the mike to work. The cable is extremely annoying while playing. There are separate game and mike volume controls on the left ear piece, but then the cable has separate controls for the mike. I often find myself unable to hear the game chat because either the headset or the cable controls have the chat sound turned down from the last person in the house who used it. Overall, I found the Sony PS3 (truly) wireless headset to be far easier to use and adjust, but since it isn't compatible with the PS4 I had to get a new one. I would never pay the full list price for this headset, but as a Black Friday deal it is decent.

Got this as a present for my 16 year old son. The sound is incredible, and stays great (or even improves) as you turn it up. A great design as well - it is hard to knock over. Lots of features, easy to use.

Can i back up more than one windows pc? I would prefer to use just one external hard drive for the two pcs i use daily. Are there instructions on how to accomplish this? Thanks

If your network router has a USB 3.0 port (my ASUS wif-fi router has 2), you should be able to hook this up to the router and address it like a network drive.

How is this to watch sports like college basketball? Is there motion blur?

We were watching soccer as soon as the TV was set up. When the camera/broadcast signal was HD, it was clear as day even with fast action.

Can this tv be used with batteries, without electricity?

No. It is corded only, and therefore uses wall current which I believe is AC 120v.

PS4 question

How does this work with the ps4 do you have to use a cable to the controller ? Also could I use this setup just to watch tv when my family is asleep ?
You have to connect the headset to the controller to use the mike in-game. Not sure about separate TV use. It does have Bluetooth, so if your TV has Bluetooth that should work. Otherwise, you have to somehow run the TV signal through the PS4.

What's the battery life like on this thing?

So far, a multi-hour gaming session seems to have little impact on the charge level. Combined with a super-long charge cable that can be used while playing, there should never be a time when it runs out of charge.

Use while charging?

Can you use the headphones while they are plugged in and charging or do you have to turn it off and let it charge?
Yes, you can use it while charging. And one of the pluses for this headset is that the USB charging cable is ridiculously long. I can easily sit on the sofa 10 feet away and play with the cable plugged in.
