Buying as a replacement for a left joycon that stopped working. i would have bought just the left but it did not make sense financially to do so. These work well and do the job. better than the drab gray as well.

Sound great, stay on very well, are super comfortable, and the microphone is very clear. Love the fact that I can have these connected to 2 devices at once and it will go to my work phone if I get a call; the microphone is great and people can’t even tell I’m on a headset. Highly recommend.

Capture more of your surroundingswith the GoPro Hero session. The Superview modes capture more above and below the focal point, providing wider and taller images. Auto Image Rotation captures right-side-up footage, even when mounted upside down. The one-button control and smaller, lighter design make the GoPro Hero session a versatile camera for your adventures.

It is a really good camera and fairly easy to use, but the 2 button combination makes it tough to update settings (e.g. video quality, FPS, etc.) unless you're using the app through the phone. Also, while i know it was designed this way but having a way to review what you captured on the camera itself would be great (again, you can do this via the app); with that said, other models do have this functionality...would just assume in this day and age, it would make sense to have something where people could easily review what they just did.
Also, Best Buy needs to update the "What's Included" section on this product. According to their page, this comes with the "ball joint mounting buckle" (a versatile piece that can help you reposition the camera rotating 360 deg)....it DOES NOT come with this piece.

Got this as a mother's day present for my wife who uses her hands a great deal when doing her work. Before she would be using the speakers on her phone b/c the wires would get in the way. She wasn't a believer before but is now...bluetooth headphones are great and she won't go back! Nice options with the tips, good battery life and good sound.

Sony - DualShock 4 Wireless Controller for PlayStation 4 - Glacier White
When the success of your next quest hangs in the balance, or only one more hairpin turn stands between you and first place. When the clock is running out and your team must defend that flag at all costs, or the next combo attack could either be your greatest or your last. When the on-screen action is intense, nothing matters more to the success of your game than the relationship you have with the controller in your hands. The DualShock family of controllers has always brought you innovative features and precise control. The DualShock 4 is no different and brings an exciting array of additional features that are designed to usher your gaming experience into the next generation. With these additions, the DualShock 4 Controller becomes an extension of your brain, turning every move of your fingers into an accurate performance in the game — and in your hands, accurate performance can only mean victory.How gamers use a controller is being redefined right before our very eyes as the next generation of consoles also redefines many other aspects of gaming. The DualShock 4 controller is equipped with a multitouch touch pad on the face of the controller, opening up a new world of gameplay. The integrated light bar generates a rainbow of colors and works with your favorite games to enable innovative gaming experiences. The DualShock 4's share button lets you upload screenshots and video of epic gaming moments or live-stream sessions with your pals — with the press of a button. Besides all of the new innovations, the DualShock 4 controller improves features from past controllers, such as the feel, shape and sensitivity of the dual analog sticks and trigger buttons for enhanced control and a built-in speaker and stereo headset jack for flexible audio options. The future of gaming is now, and the features of this controller live up to the hype.

I've had the PS4 since it came out and had 2 controllers for the whole time. Recently my L3 button started to give out. I tried all the different fixes online but no luck.

From a nostalgic standpoint, this game is great. What fan, whether casual or serious, of Star Wars hasn't wondered what it would be like being part of these battles, being Han, Luke, Vader, etc, and flying an X-Wing or AT-AT. This game is great for that and it is fun. However, there is no campaign, and the "missions" leave a great deal to be desired.

I really like this product and enjoy what it has to offer from giving access to music, to Netflix, HBO, etc and some of the games thus far. I think this has a lot of potential for gaming in the future too.
The biggest complaint is the password entry mechanism...you definitely would want to put your password restrictions on for in app purchases, itunes and rentals....the problem is that it is extremely cumbersome to do so. You are basically manually scrolling to each character for your PW and there is no easier way to do it as the Apple TV does not interface with any bluetooth keyboards. Hopefully this will be something that they fix moving forward.

As with most, I've had a Fitbit Flex for the past year or so and was really looking forward to this watch. I'm going to to break this down into different sections. I've been using this for about a week and it has really been a mixed bag. Of note, I've really only used this and planned to use this for running so I can't really comment on the other functions.
GPS: Takes a good minute to get a signal when starting a workout. Interestingly, from a distance perspective, it seems that this is pretty accurate...what is interesting is that when you look at the actual route, you wonder how it even got close to the actual distance. While the route lines seem to mimic what I've done with regard to turns and such, they can be so far off when overlaying the route on top of the map. At first I was wondering if it was a discrepancy between the maps being used but what happens is that it tends to get better about 10-15 minutes into my run. Again, I'm not saying that this is now inaccurate, especially given the results (usually within 0.1 miles or so) but I'm curious as to how it is happening.
HR Monitor: Contrary to what I've read in several other forums, I've actually had 0 problems with the HR function at either rest or during activity. It is a bit choppy, but that's what you'd expect on something that is only measuring ever few seconds. I think the key is that you really need to ensure that the monitor will be in contact with your wrist the whole time even if it means making it a bit tighter when working out or by pushing it further up your wrist.
Smart Watch Functions: Notifications are good. Nice to get text and phone alerts on my wrist without having to look at my phone but there is a character limit to texts. I also wish was more. Basically all it can do now is phone/text notifications, and controlling music. As I use Bluetooth headphones, that eliminates music control for me. I feel like it should be able to do more (e.g. weather, calendar alerts, etc.)....and maybe it can/will do more but it doesn't as of now.
Other (Floors, Sleep, etc.) - The watch does seem to keep a good estimate of how many floors you have. Water resistance is an area of concern. It says it is resistant up to 5 ATM but then you get specific recommendations that you should not take it in the shower...and why is there not a swimming option?
Screen: Touch interface seems pretty good. Screen display is blah....black and white.
Alas, when it comes down to it, I think I was expecting more out of this watch, especially for $250. When you compare it with what is out there now, it is indeed the most complete IMO, but I feel like the minute some of the other competitors come out, this will be outdated. I'm going to try and give it a little more time, but I think this will be going back.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Does this headset have a microphone so I can use it with my iPhone?

Yes, but t hey are built into the headset. The wire that comes with it does not have a microphone. But if you’re connected via Bluetooth you should have no problem. I’ve been very impressed with the sound quality that comes through my microphone.

How do you charge the battery?

Do you need a separate charger or will it charge through the usb port?
It comes with a micro USB. You can plug this into the computer or once of the outlet adapters. I have these cords from various other devices so it is not proprietary technology that is used.
