The first thing I noticed when I unpacked this charger was the solid construction of the power block and the 8ft USB-C wire that accompanied the charger. It does not disappoint. The whole setup feels solid. I would definitely feel comfortable taking this with me while traveling knowing that it can take some abuse. The block itself is a little large, but not too large. I think I would be less likely to leave it considering it sticks out a little more.
For speed of charging a power capabilities, this thing is top notch. I am constantly on my electronics, be it a cell phone, Bluetooth headset, or chromebook. This thing can power all of them……at the same time! With a dedicated USB-C port and two standard USB ports, I don’t have to worry about multiple chargers.
The price of this device is comparable to others in the same class. Overall, I would recommend this product to someone.
I would recommend this to a friend!

You’ll read other reviews of this product that are from athletes, cycling enthusiasts, marathon runners, etc. Not me! I am you typical middle aged, slightly overweight, married guy with just enough time to work out to make every muscle in my body feel like it’s on fire. I’m the guy that goes to the gym thinking he can work out like all the 20 year olds after having not stepped foot in a gym for six months. Then of course, for the next week I can’t even get out of bed I’m so sore.
So with that context, I give you my honest review. I am amazed. Plain and simple. I go to the chiropractor/Physical Therapist and massage therapist on a routine basis. When those days happen to line up with a heavy workout session I get relief. But having the system immediately available makes all of the difference. Typically after running, the next two days are painful. Tight muscles. Sore joints. But after daily sessions with this product, all symptoms were immediately reduced and recovery was expedited at an amazing pace.
The product itself is well made. Sturdy construction and simple to assemble. The display and instructions are easy to understand and setup takes only minutes. I would suggest starting on a lower setting and working your way up. Also, if the session gets to intense, simply turn the system off and disconnect the air hose from the console. The pressure will immediately relieve.
The only negative I can give for this product is the phone app. I was able to utilize the app to get the system started and stopped, however the app is buggy. The time displayed on my phone did not match the time on the console. It also appeared to disconnect a couple times during the session which made the session freeze. I removed the app and downloaded it again with the same issues. Full disclosure, it could be my phone. I have yet to try it on another phone.
In closing, I would recommend this system, not only to the avid workout fanatic, but to “that” guy or girl who is trying to get back his/her health and pushes a little harder than he/she should (P.S.- I'm "that" guy!) This system does work!

Looking for a premium soundbar system with smart speaker capabilities? Then this might be the speaker for you. The packaging was unique, almost shaped like a large guitar, contoured over the sound bar and subwoofer. Each item was packaged in its own velvet-like bag. And while it seemed unique and well thought out, the company might want to consider adding a little more support near the subwoofer speaker itself. While mine was not damaged, it was misshapen like something had hit it. So just make sure you check for tears and damage when opening.
This system is about as simple of a system to set up all the while being versatile enough to connect it to the television in numerous ways. Although the instructions say you need the app for set up, if you don’t plan on using any smart commands, it’s not necessary.
As stated above, the only hiccup I had during installation was when trying to connect the speaker through my HDMI-Arc connection on my Samsung TVs. I’m not a big fan of the Anynet system since we already have a smart remote that turns everything on and off for us, so it was turned off. After some finagling with settings that was when I came up with the solution. Connecting through optical and aux were simple. Bluetooth was as well. If it weren’t for the initial problem with the Anynet, this would have been the easiest speaker setup I’ve ever done.
I currently have an older six speaker Samsung receiver system (Left, right, center, two rears and a sub). The sub is a standalone Pioneer sub with a built-in amp. I wasn’t expecting this system to keep up in any way. But the clarity of the sound bar and crispness of the bass in the sub were surprising. When I test a new system, my go to is the lobby scene in “The Matrix.” You have bass, rounds flying by, and distinct, detailed sounds that test any system’s limits. While the soundbars quality of sound is great, the ability to make you immersed in the sound like a true surround system is lost. In other words, you don’t hear the bullets wiz by your head. The subwoofer was also cutting out during the scene. I was streaming my movie through an app called Plex so I tested it on my original sound system, and the cut outs didn’t occur. They also didn’t occur while connected to the optical port. So my only assumption is that something wasn’t being transcoded right through the HDMI-ARC in the television. Other bass heavy testing was completed without an issue.

Overall, this system has the feel and capability of a premium sound system. But in my honest opinion, if I’m going to spend this much I want TOTAL immersion. I could look to a lower price bracket and get an adequate soundbar system and not notice much difference to this speaker system, all the while saving a couple benjamins. But if you’re in the niche for a premium soundbar system only, and price isn’t the deciding factor, this is a system to look at.

This is my first purchase of noise cancelling headphones so I might be bias. But wow! The first thing I noticed is the speed at which they charge and the amount of playing time the battery allows. The second thing was the first time I put them on. Immediate silence! The noise canceling features are great. Any ambient noise was immediately gone, but with some fine tuning with the app, I could still hear my wife talking to me.
The sound quality is great for me. I like clear treble and strong bass. Some have complained that the mids are muddled by the strong bass, but I don’t notice it. I’m very eclectic in my listening and I haven’t come across a style of music that hasn’t sounded great on these.
Comfort and simplicity is key when listening for extended periods. This headset is plush and relatively lightweight. So far, these have been very comfortable. I haven’t come to a point yet where they’ve been uncomfortable. The touch keypad is commonsense, but take a look at the manual to understand what each fingerswipe will do. They all make sense, but knowing will help.
Download the app. Do yourself a favor and download it. It does way too much not to. You will be missing out on a ton of features without it.
I can’t wait to use these on a plane trip! Highly recommended!

I have a few sets of “wireless” (Bluetooth) ear buds, but this is my set of truly wireless ear buds. To be honest, my first worry was losing one. Not having them physically tethered together was always weighing in the back of my mind at the beginning. But after a few uses, I got used to it and was able to enjoy the experience these reasonably priced ear buds provide.
Setup in and of itself was a breeze. I have a Galaxy Note and it was nothing to pair and get using. I would highly suggest reading the manual considering each ear bud has one button and depending on how many times you press that button determines what action it will take. This takes a little time to get used to, but once muscle memory kicks in, it’s simplistic.
Like I said at the beginning, I have had a few sets of Bluetooth ear buds (wired between the buds), and my concerns was twofold when acquiring this set. 1) What would the battery life be? 2) How would the sound quality measure up?
1) Battery life thus far is surprisingly long! I did not do a running tally on how many hours I used before the first charge, but it was LONG. Much longer than any other headset I’ve used. Charging in the ear bud’s case is quick and easy. Just drop them in and a short time later their charged. As with any other set of wireless ear buds, I always keep a wired pair with me in case of a recharge in the middle of an activity. **HINT: When you hear the low battery chime, you have about 15 to 20 minutes before they completely die.**
2) As for sound quality, I was shockingly surprised. With no equalizer functions, I didn’t expect much. Again, for the price range they’re in, this is a steal for the quality. As with any ear buds, you need to tamper your expectations. These are not going to sound like a wired seat of high end Bose, but they hold their own. The bass is passable. The treble is good. Quality is slightly muffled, but I’ve definitely experienced worse on more expensive sets.
Overall, I would recommend these ear buds. They provide a very portable option for listening to music in a variety of activities. They remain in place due to the availability of interchangeable sizes for the ear pieces which assists with comfort as well! Their quick charging and long lasting battery make them perfect for multiple long exercise sessions or even days at work where you want to drown out what is going on around you.

This headset replaced a set of headphones that I use with my PS4. My old set plugged into the controller. So getting used to being wired to the gaming system took a little getting used to. But other than that, I am highly impressed with the construction and sound quality of this headset.
When looking at the instructions, I was a little concerned. They are a little cumbersome at first glance, but that is just because there are a few options for installation. I decided to connect mine to the USB port and optical out.
The sound quality is phenomenal. There are enough settings on the built in mixer to accommodate anyone’s preference. I play hunting games, in which I need to be able to turn the sound up loud and have crisp feedback in order to track animals. This headset does the job! Every other headset I owned was just not loud enough to pick up the nuances I was looking for.

As for comfort, it’s like wearing clouds on my ears. I can play for hours with no discomfort. The padded material does not overheat my ears and cause them to sweat. The headset rests comfortably and does not cause discomfort even after longer playing sessions.
My only slight gripe is the length of the wire connecting the mixer to the headset. It’s a little on the short end, but since it’s a standard audio cable, a quick purchase on Amazon or the like will resolve this issue.
I would recommend this headset in a heartbeat. It’s a quality headset that, even at the extremes of its volume threshold, produces crisp sound. Whether you’re tracking animals like me, or just wearing them to keep your non-gaming house mates sane, this headset will do the job!

Our family has had Roombas in our house for nearly 10 years. From the very first one, we realized the necessity of this little contraption and its ability to keep up with the fur tumbleweeds left behind by our two German Shepherds. Our daughter even named the Roomba Rosy (think “The Jetsons”). But as with any new technology, there were difficulties and details that needed improving.
The second one improved upon the first, with brushless rollers and was more responsive and intelligent. But the need for battery powered virtual walls and the need to break down the machine to clean crevices that collect dirt, make it a little less than convenient. Still something was missing….
Bring in this new machine! And wow! The power, the technology, and the general design are above and beyond it predecessors. The design changes from small things, like a heavier base charger that doesn’t move as easily, top access of the dirt bin, and less openings in the machine for dirt to collect, make it easier to use and maintain.
The technology capabilities in regards to the iRobot app and ability to utilize Google Assistant make it even more user friendly. Scheduling, varied power settings, status updates, and training the Roomba are some of the features available. But this is where the machine stumbles a little bit. I’ve had multiple times where a scheduled cleaning didn’t happen because the dust bin was registering “full,” when in fact it was not full. After a while on tinkering with it, I wiped down the sensors inside the vacuum where the bin sits. This seems to have fixed the problem, but it’s a little inconvenient. I would suggest an ability to override this feature.
It is also nice that there are no towers/virtual walls to place around the house. The machine learns the house and the user divides up and names the different rooms. Again, a feature I would suggest is the ability to add hazards or blocks to keep the Roomba from entering dangerous areas (ie. stairs). We have a large separator between flooring from one room to the next which tends to get the Roombas held up, It would be nice to have the ability to have the Roomba avoid this.
The fact that it is software issues rather than physical issues bodes well for the potential of future updates to the app to correct some of these problems. But even with these minor shortfalls, I would highly recommend this machine. Especially if you have pets!

Our first attempt at using a cordless hybrid vacuum was a Shark a few years back. It was not impressive and turned me completely off to this type of product. Since I have a dust buster that has been fairly reliable to pick up the hair tumbleweeds left from our two german shepherds.
This product has changed my mind. We currently own a full size Dyson which we love. This is a good supplement for quick jobs. The versatility of the attachments, to include the extension tubes to go from handheld to sweeper. The power setting is a nice feature to conserve battery life, but I don't typically use the lower setting.
Battery life has been, so far, above and beyond. I like the charging cradle for the vacuum, but it feels a little flimsy. I'm worried about breaking it. Another small quirk that bothers me is that the cradle doesn't hold all of the attachments. So some of the attachments are sitting around loose. This doesn't affect the performance, but it is a pet peeve of mine when I'm trying to put everything back in its correct place.
I would recommend this product to anyone with an OCD wife like mine that can't have a dirty, hard surface floor. Because of this product my socks don't get near as dirty as quick :-) !!

I wanted these for one job and one job only. To be able to use my wireless headphones at the gym. And it worked perfectly! I like that you can charge and use them at the same time. Obviously other uses included any audio output that is normally wires (ex. Computers without Bluetooth, Roku remotes with headphone ports, etc.)
Airfly seems to last four to five gym sessions (around 4-5 hours). I’m a little surprised that the charger is a USB micro considering they are geared towards apple products. Either way, with it being as small and lightweight as it is, the charge capabilities are more than adequate.
Sound quality is as good when you’re not using the Airfly, but at times, I noticed a slight delay in sound, but nothing that would deter me from using the Airfly.

This speaker was purchased to leave at our rental at the beach. I wanted something that was relatively cheap but still high enough quality in build and sound. When I first opened the package, I was somewhat disappointed. How could this tiny thing hold up? Let alone blast some good sound. I was wrong.
Negatives first. There is some distortion in the higher ends of the volume spectrum, but not enough to be annoyed. Quick charging through a USB cable makes for an easy and quick charge. It small size make it a great option for needs where portability is primary. I have not had to charge it yet, so I cannot advise on battery life or recharging times.
Again it seems very well built. But time will tell. I think it will get put through the ringer this season at the beach. Once the season is over, I will follow up with another review.

Bring your television audio to life without compromising the beauty of the room. As an alternative to traditional sound bars or bookshelf speakers, this system allows you to enjoy premium television audio while hiding the electronics and wiring in the wall and behind the TV. This package includes two in-wall speakers with paintable grilles; when painted, the speakers almost disappear into the surrounding space. The included Sonos amp provides 125 watts of power per channel, which lets you enjoy high-resolution sound from the Sonance speakers. Also included is an in-wall power kit that brings power to the entire system without calling an electrician. A metal back box is provided to hold the in-wall power kit, Sonos AMP®, and system electronics with extra room for streaming video devices like Apple TV® or Roku®.
Can you attach a sub to this system as well for extra bass, or are you stuck with just the 2 included speakers? And is the amp powerful enough for a sub?
Yes. You can either hard wire a third-party sub via the output or purchase a Sonos sub for wireless connection. I personally recommend the Sonos sub. Have one on a different system and love it!

Yes and no. While there are no controls for mic volume (other than on and off), if you flex the mic away from you or move it up and down further away from your mouth, it should compensate.

Then just say "Hey Google" to dim, brighten, turn on and turn off the lights."
Is there a monthly fee added for usage?
No

WD - My Book 3TB External USB 3.0 Hard Drive - Black
Save plenty of media and other files on this WD My Book external hard drive, which features a 3TB capacity for ample storage space. WD SmartWare Pro software backs up your files automatically for simple use.
Will WD My Book 3TB work on Linux
The Specification page specifically says:
PC: Windows XP, Vista, 7 or 8; Mac: OS X; available USB 3.0 port
Will it also work with an up-to-date linux distribution? (e.g., Ubuntu 13.10, SteamOS, RHEL 7)? (It should -- I have yet to see one that will not work)
If it is not officially supported/doesn't work, I will have to look elsewhere.
Thank you.

Not sure if it officially authorized but I have utilized them with no problems.

Does this have a power (off/on) switch? I'd like to leave it plugged in all the time & just turn the switch on when needed - is that an option?
I'd like to have the drive plugged in (usb & power) and just turn the device on via a power switch to activate - does this come with a built in on/off switch?
It powers up only when being utilized. Otherwise, it is in a standby mode until something tries to access it. No "hard" power on/off switch.

Can this Drive be used for more than one computer, one with Windows 7 and another with Windows XP?
I have a Desktop with Windows XP Media Center Edition32 bit and a Laptop with Windows 7 Pro 64 bit. Can the same External Drive be used for backing up from both these computers?
The short answer is yes. If you use a router that has a USB port for a network drive, simply plug it in and follow your routers directions. If not, you would have to "share" the drive to the other computer. If all of this sounds to complicated I would spend the little extra a get a MyBook Live or MyBook World. They connect to your router through a ethernet cable and are ready to run immediately.
