I don't like the fact that Xbox doesn't sell a wireless headset. But in terms of quality, this works when you need one in a pinch. Can go more expensive to get a better deal, but if you just need a spare or second headset, this is the best one for your buck (don't go cheaper).

I'm not a big fan of sound bars, I'm a stickler for true 5.1 surround sound with satelite speakers. However, with a small room, I gave this sound bar a try. It was on sale, so I didn't look at any reviews, but I took a chance and I'm pleased. It was super easy to install (hangs on my wall above my TV) and the wireless subwoofer was convenient as well. The sound really fills the room and is plenty loud with great detail. I can't say it's better than satelite speakers, but it sounds great nonetheless and you can't beat the convenience factor. And it looks good to boot. I personally like no speaker grills so you can see the cones/tweeters. My personal opinion, no matter what sound bar you go with, get a subwoofer. With the subwoofer unplugged, the sound isn't nearly as rich.

I have to be honest, I bought this because of the looks. And I liked the ability to change the temperature via Wi-Fi on the go. It has exceeded my expectations. Installation was a breeze (just make sure it's compatible with your HVAC) and took no more than 5 minutes. Using it is simple and intuitive, you turn it to make your selection and push it to choose.

There isn't much to say about memory cards, but I've had zero issues with this card; it sits in my Surface Pro 3 and acts like another hard drive, effectively doubling my storage. It is fast, as if it were another internal drive.

I long for the days of Madden 2004 when the controls were simple and the menus easy to navigate. I haven't kept up with the Madden franchise in recent years, but I decided to give it a try this year. I was satisfied with the quality of the gameplay in the graphics, but I find it way more difficult and confusing then it needs to be. I realize they are going for more realism but for the common player like me who doesn't have the time to devote countless hours learning and perfecting the craft it is difficult to pick up and just play. To me the game requires a lot of time and practice just to become proficient. I do however like the skills camp that allow you to learn how to play. All in all, if you want a football game this is your only option so this review feels pointless, but none the less it's always nice to know what you're getting yourself into

What's great about it: Gives you wired internet
What's not so great: Have to carry it, takes up only USB port
Not much to say, does what it purports to do. I use this for business when I need to transfer large files over our network (much faster than Wi-Fi). It works great. Only gripe, and it's an obvious one, (and again a limitation of the Surface itself) is that this item takes up the one precious USB port. But for me, I only use it to transfer files so I'm not necessarily USING the Surface when this is plugged in. Once file transfer is over, I take the network adapter out and have my USB port back.

What's great about it: Easy to use, fast setup
What's not so great: Initial connectivity problems
I thought the instructions were a bit lacking. Once you figure out how to use this mouse, it's dead simple, but I didn't think it was intuitive. There is no "on/off" switch, you just "snap" it flat or arched to turn it off and on. Had a few problems getting my first one to work (it was dead on arrival) and my Surface 3 had a problem connecting to it initially. But I've used it extensively since then, and it works great. It connects to the Surface immediately after turning the mouse on. Since the initial connect, haven't had one problem. I do worry about long term "snapping" and whether or not the device will hold up. But it works great and is pretty comfortable (better than the Surface Wedge Mouse in my opinion, which I use on my personal Surface 1 Pro)

What's great about it: Back lit, large trackpad
What's not so great: Not included with Surface
This is an essential accessory for a Surface device. It is easy to type on, and it is backlit. The trackpad is much improved over previous iterations. I don't like the fact that the pen holder is essentially a sticker (the "loop" attaches as a sticker to the back of the keyboard) which worries me long term.
While I enjoy the typing experience, it doesn't beat a traditional keyboard because of its size, but that's expected. For its size, and what it is, it's phenomenal. Just wish it was included with the Surface

What's great about it: Size, weight, speed
What's not so great: Limited
I feel like the Surface devices get a lot of flack. They're not iPads and they're not ultrabooks. They are in a category of their own. I use mine for traveling. I would not want to use it everyday, because my work requires two monitors and more screen real estate.
Having said that, I love this Surface 3. I also have a Surface Pro 1, and the Surface 3 is leaps and bounds better. The screen is bigger, the device is lighter and it is lightning quick. I love the stylus, I enjoy writing notes on it. The Windows App store is lacking, but improving. But you can install any Windows legacy program.
Is it difficult to type on your lap (this is assuming you have a type cover) yes. But it is doable in a pinch. To be honest, if I had an ultrabook, I don't like typing on my lap. I'm always looking for a sturdy table to work on, so I don't have gripes re lap use.
The battery life is much improved over Surface Pro 1 which was THE BIGGEST drawback. I can go all day while traveling.
All in all, I recommend this device if you want a light travel work device. It's too expensive to be just a media consumption device, but if you need a windows laptop, this is the best way to go.
Try it out before you buy and recognize this device for what it is. It's not a traditional laptop nor tablet. And stop comparing it to an iPad. Once you get past that, you'll realize it's truly an amazing device.
This product is... responsive touch screen, Good sound quality, lightning fast, Perfect for Business, A nice compact size, Easy to navigate, Great screen size, Comfortable to hold
About me... Business Professional, Comfortable with technology

Lucyd - Lyte Titanium Bluetooth Audio Sunglasses - Starman
The Lucyd Starman titanium frames weigh just over an ounce, and with their enhanced flexibility will fit most users out of the box. These patent-pending Bluetooth frames offer a unique mix of durable titanium, designer styling, optional vision correction, and smart features. All Lucyd frames include a 7-day moneyback guarantee and 1-year warranty against any defects in frame or lenses.
What are the glasses capable of?
That's a seemingly broad question, but they connect to any Bluetooth source device and can play music through the speakers embedded in the arms of the glasses. The sound is good based on the open speaker design, so the sound will bleed a little bit. But overall, I like them.

Google - Pixel Buds A-Series True Wireless In-Ear Headphones - Olive
Pixel Buds A-Series bring you rich, high-quality sound for a lot less than you’d expect. Their beamforming mics help make calls crystal clear.*** The flush-to-ear design is stylish, and the stabilizer arc keeps them in place so you can wear them even during the sweatiest workout.**
Does it have Noise Cancellation feature ?
No they do not have active noise cancelling. One of the drawbacks of the Pixel Buds (IMHO) is that they let in a lot of ambient noise, even with a good seal/fit in your ears.

Will Air 2s work with note 20 ultra?
I don't own that phone, but I don't see why not. Biggest concern is size of the phone and whether it fits into the controller. I use a Google Pixel 4 XL and there's still a little more space for the "arms" of the controller to hold the phone. And in terms of the app itself, you'll need to download it straight from the DJI website (which is the same process for all Androids)
