I wanted to replace my famous smartphone-brand earbuds with a pair that had move premium sound. After reading reviews, this seemed to be the model for me. They are nice looking. But the tinny sound they produce was almost free of bass, so this was not the model for me and I returned them right away. If you like tinny sound, this might be the model for you.

I purchased this refrigerator to be used for several days by my parents until their broken kitchen refrigerator could be repaired. While a bit small for that purpose, my wife and I had considered purchasing a small refrigerator for use to keep canned and bottled beverages cold. So, after the "emergency" ended, I transported it to my basement where it serves well to keep beer and soda chilled. While a budget model, the fridge looks nice and works well. It holds about two cases of 12 ounce cans and a smaller number of 12 ounce bottles.
My wife, son, and I are happy with this purchase. It has allowed us to free up space in the kitchen fridge and to always have a "cold one" handy. If you need a basic small fridge, you won't go wrong with this model.

The Nikon SB-500 works so well with my Nikon D750 DSLR that I bought a second one for two-flash photo shoots. It is compact, well-made, and works flawlessly on the Nikon DSLR's hot shoe or off of the camera using Nikon's Commander mode. Battery life is much better than it was with a flash I had used in the past. The flash is full of features at a good price. I use it primarily as a fill flash with Nikon's 200-500mm lens for bird photography, and it seems to provide plenty of power for this use.
Included are a well-made soft case and a tiny flash stand. The stand holds the flash upright while off the camera and I have successfully used it for product photography and for macro photography of mushrooms.
Unless you need a more powerful flash, I highly recommend the SB-500. It is a high-quality flash that is easy to use and meets my flash photography needs well.

I love this speaker! It produces clear, deep, and rich sound for such a small speaker. It is easy to pair using Bluetooth with my iPhone and iPad. It charges quickly and can be used for a long time.
I use the speaker primarily in my bedroom. But recently I carried it on a wilderness canoe camping trip and successfully watched a movie that I had downloaded to my iPhone. The speaker filled our island campsite with high quality sound that made watching and listening to the movie delightful.

I had avoided Bose products in the past because they always seemed overpriced. But when I needed in-ear headphones because my famous smartphone-brand model's headphone's broke (again and again) I found these gems at a good price. They are well-made, come with a variety of ear size inserts, and sound great. The clarity and depth of sound is much higher than the smartphone-brand headphones. The zipper carrying case is nice and handy, too.
The cord is lightweight and flexible, but because it's a little thicker than the smartphone brand, it rarely tangles. This is a huge feature for someone like me who installs them in my ears many times each day.
This is a great product. While I purchased them on sale at a great price, I now understand why Bose products demand a premium price. It's because they are premium products that are well-designed and produce high quality sound.

Never Run Out of Printer Ink Again!

When shopping for a replacement inkjet printer, I almost purchased another brand before I learned about HP's automated inkjet cartridge subscription service. For a reasonable monthly fee, HP mails new cartridges to my home before the printer runs out of ink. This has saved me from "emergency" trips to the store to purchase cartridges when the printer runs out of ink.. It's a great idea, works well, and is reasonably priced. HP has executed a great idea very well.

I was looking at models of another printer band that I have been happy with, but was sold on HP's automated ink jet cartridge subscription service. The printer looks good, it works well, the quality of the output is nice, and its price was reasonable. Plus, I never run out of ink, since for a small monthly fee HP sends me a new one before the installed cartridge is out of ink.
Other than needing to be reset occasionally (turn off and on) to access the printer over Wi-Fi, I am happy with this HP printer. The ink jet cartridge subscription service is a great idea, is easy to use, and saves from printer down time when the installed cartridges run out of ink.

The Samsung microwave looks great in my kitchen. It is a huge improvement over my 32 year old model. It is easy to use and powerful. But I am disappointed that the plastic on its cheap plastic door handle cracked and broke after several months of use. Samsung needs to do better than this to keep my business. If it wasn't an above-range model, I would have replaced it right away.

I have had so so luck with camera batteries made by a company other than the camera manufacturer, so now I purchase original equipment. The Nikon EN-EL15 is well made and on a full charge allows me to shoot over 1,000 photos with my Nikon D750 camera. I sometimes shoot several thousand photos over several days while camping with no opportunity to charge batteries. So, I bought two spare EN-EL15 batteries. They are not inexpensive, but I believe that they are worth their price.

Adjustable bass levels and preset functions, such as outdoor stage and arena style, let you customize how your music sounds. The 22-hour battery life of these Sony Extra Bass noise-canceling headphones lets you play your favorite tunes all day.
 

What is the maximum range from my phone they can be? Also... if I walked out of range and then back in, do I have to completely re-pair the headphones and phone bluetooth connection? Or do they automatically do it for me?

I don't know what the maximum range is, but I have used the speaker successfully when my phone or tablet PC was 20 feet or more from the speaker. Also, when it is out of range, the Bluetooth connection automatically reconnects when in range.
