This product is really amazing and it does everything you can think of. The quality is great (played old 1940 era vinyl and it sounded great) and the workmanship is even better. Highly recommended.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Sound quality is good for Bluetooth
What's not so great: Battery life is a little short.
Good overall when using in Bluetooth mode. The only draw back is shorter than 30 feet range when on phone calls, but other than that it's a good product.

 Grand Theft Auto V Standard Edition - Xbox 360
Grand Theft Auto V Standard Edition - Xbox 360
Los Santos: a sprawling sun-soaked metropolis full of self-help gurus, starlets and fading celebrities, once the envy of the Western world, now struggling to stay afloat in an era of economic uncertainty and cheap reality TV. Amidst the turmoil, three very different criminals plot their own chances of survival and success: Franklin, a former street gangster, now looking for real opportunities and serious money; Michael, a professional ex-con whose retirement is a lot less rosy than he hoped it would be; and Trevor, a violent maniac driven by the chance of a cheap high and the next big score. Running out of options, the crew risks everything in a series of daring and dangerous heists that could set them up for life.Grand Theft Auto V is the largest and most ambitious game Rockstar Games has yet created and takes full advantage of every ounce of processing power available in the current generation of consoles. In order to provide the best possible experience for such a massive and detailed world, the game will have installation requirements on the Xbox 360. Grand Theft Auto V will ship on two discs; Disc 1 will be used for a one-time mandatory install and Disc 2 will be used to play the game. After the install, players will be able to enjoy both Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online without any need to switch discs. This initial install will require an Xbox 360 hard drive or an external 16GB USB flash drive (sold separately) with at least 8GB of free space. If using a USB flash drive, it must be at least USB 2.0 with a minimum 15mb/s read speed and formatted for Xbox 360 use. A new USB flash drive is recommended to ensure optimal performance.

 Turtle Beach - Call of Duty: Ghosts Shadow Ear Force Limited Edition Amplified Gaming Headset
Turtle Beach - Call of Duty: Ghosts Shadow Ear Force Limited Edition Amplified Gaming Headset
The fight to keep your k/d ratio up is an intense one, and it's become personal in the past few hours with one particular adversary. He's followed you into each new match, and not only is this a combat zone with bone-jarring explosions and the constant tapping of gunshots, but a personal vendetta, where every soft footfall that you hear behind you could mean absolute defeat on the leaderboards. Your adrenaline is pumping in a way that it hasn't since you first began playing the game. Every ounce of focus you have is honed in on what you can see on the screen and what you can hear through your Call of Duty: Ghosts Shadow Ear Force Limited Edition Amplified Gaming Headset. And it gives you enough leverage to achieve victory. Without the power of incredibly immersive, amazingly rich audio on your side, this vendetta may have had a much different and much more devastating end.Assault the leaderboards and experience the sounds of the game in an entirely new way with the power of the Call of Duty: Ghosts Ear Force Shadow Headset by your side. Full-range 50mm speakers deliver rich, thumping lows and clear, crisp highs, so that you can hear every enemy footfall and respawn in your vicinity. Adjust the bass and treble levels until you've achieved the ideal depth and realism in your game with the in-line controls, which also make it easy to access microphone mute and game and chat volume. Even when the action is at its most explosive, dynamic chat boost ensures you can still communicate with your teammates by raising the chat volume during intense game moments. The variable microphone monitor allows you to adjust the volume of your voice in the headset while speaking. Take calls while you're in a game or add some music to the mix by connecting your headset to your mobile phone or MP3 player, then take the gaming audio on the go by disconnecting the headset from the in-line amp to use it with your mobile phone, tablet or portable gaming system. Equip yourself for all of the gaming action you can handle with this Limited Edition Amplified Gaming Headset.

What's great about it: Nothing outstanding, it does it's job
What's not so great: The price is high
Good for a wired headset but probably not worth the price. I've read too many negative things about the wireless so I went with the next best thing: really good wired. I am generally happy just not with the price.

What's great about it: Works for about two days before turning itself off, guess it could have been just one day
What's not so great: Turns off on it's own for no reason, runs hot, spotty service (full bars but loses connection)
This product simply is not good, which is surprising from Netgear. It seemed too good to be true, and it was. A simple device you plug into a wall socket and "set it and forget it". Worked great for a day or two then I realized the signal was gone, checked the device and it was OFF. Reset it and tried a few more times but continually powers down. I noticed once it was off that the device was hot, so maybe it was a bad unit but I wasn't chancing it and went with an amped wireless AP instead.
This product has... Unreliable connection

 Amped Wireless - High Power Wireless-N 600mW Smart Repeater and Range Extender
Amped Wireless - High Power Wireless-N 600mW Smart Repeater and Range Extender
Extend the range of any Wi-Fi network by repeating the wireless signal and redistributing it in a new location. Includes 5 wired ports. Uses dual, high power 600mW amplifiers and high gain antennas to provide up to 10,000 sq ft of extended coverage.
 

Wil it work?

Will the ranger extender work with Verizon Fios Actiontec MI424WR router?
Yes it should work with no problem. However repeaters are not as reliable as AP's that can connect hard wired. If you can somehow bring a hard wire over to the area you want to place the repeater then I would go with the AP20000G.

Distance

I'm want to extend coverage 250 feet. I don't know how to convert from 10,000 square feet. Will it reach that far?
10,000 Sq feet would cover a 100ft by 100ft square. So sounds like it won't reach. You might have to look into the amped product that allows the extension up to 1.5 MILES. "line of sight connection required with Amped AP600EX AP or UA600EX USB Adapter for 1.5mi "
