Best Wireless Headphones I’ve Found

I own about a dozen wireless headphones. I’ve been burned on all of them. Multiple friends and co-workers recommended the AirPods. I hesitated because of the price. I finally got a pair and realized I would have saved a lot of money had I bought these first.
Pros:
- Excellent sound quality with iPhone 6S Plus
- Excellent voice (microphone) quality
- Good battery life; can handle constant use on a 2 - 3 hour airplane flight; extended when you drop them in the case which is a charger.
- Stay in place when jogging on a treadmill. Granted I’m not breaking any records, but haven’t had to adjust the fitting at 6.3 speed on the treadmill.

Neutral:
- Style. I’ve heard people say they look funny. I think they look better than the Bluetooth headphones attached with a cord.

Cons:
- Price. I really hesitated to spend $150+ on these. However, I wasted twice that amount on all the other failed brands.
- Availability. Very popular. Long wait with the Apple Store; Best Buy had much better availability. Recommend buying from Best Buy.

Selected this monitor based on generally good feedback and excellent picture. Bought as a second monitor; turns out this one is much brighter than my other Asus monitor. Highly recommend; may buy another.

Looking for a replacement all-in-one. I do very little printing, but heavy scanning (scanning old photos to electronic). Also do printing from Apple devices. Works great on all accounts. I recommend as long as you don't need a fax.

iPad® Air is 20 percent thinner1 and weighs just one pound, so it feels unbelievably light in your hand. It comes with a 9.7-inch Retina display, the A7 chip with M7 motion coprocessor, ultrafast wireless, powerful apps, and up to 10 hours of battery life.2 And over 475,000 apps in the App Store are just a tap away.3
Still the champion

What's great about it: Indispensable business and personal applications
What's not so great: Cost
I replaced my "New iPad" (a.k.a. 3rd generation iPad).
I use my iPad for both work and personal use. I've looked at other eco-systems; Amazon, Windows, Samsung, ... none come close to the Apple ecosystem.
If you have an iPhone, this should be a no-brainer.
If you have a Samsung or Galaxy phone, you have a tougher decision.
I went with the iPad Air for the following reasons:
- I'm embedded in the Apple ecosystem (have an iPhone)
- iPad Air was lighter and more powerful than the iPad 3
- Take handwritten notes for work -- use Microsoft OneNote to consolidate those notes (from Penultimate), emails, PowerPoint presentations, etc.
- Pinball... love the games for distraction

- Pinball... love the games for distraction
My biggest hesitation was not being able to show presentations from my iPad (I want a laptop replacement). My prayers were answered when Microsoft released the Office suite for iPad , for free (love it! for reading purposes; editing requires Office 360 account). Also, the speaker quality isn't great, but if I'm watching something, I usually have headphones.
The last hesitation is cost. Apple is expensive. If you can get past the sticker shock and you are embedded in the Apple ecosystem, there really isn't anything better.
This product is... responsive touch screen, easy to set up, lightning fast, Perfect for Business, Variety of apps available, A nice compact size, Sharp graphics, Easy to navigate, Great screen size, Comfortable to hold
About me... Parent with kids, Technology guru, Gamer, Business Professional, traveler

Will This Printer Conect wirelessly to my Verizon Hot spot or do I have to buy an Air Print Server?
You should be fine. You may have some challenges if you turn your hotspot on and off frequently (getting new ip addresses). Otherwise, go for it!

how hard is it to set up?
I'm not young and have trouble with figuring how to set things up. How long does it take to set up?
I'm above average technically. It was very easy to set up. Hardest part will probably connect to your WiFi. Make sure you know your password (SSID) and network name and you should be good.
