There isn't a lot to a router, but this little gem does a good job. The highlight for me is the amount of detailed data available on the router interface. There's a lot of granularity compared to an Apple router. In addition, there customer was extremely helpful in an issue I was experiencing. Not only did they help me walk through the metadata on the interface, but explained industry standards so I could talk more intelligently to my Internet Service Provider.

Ninja makes some great products and this blender/mixer combo is at the top of the list! I use this daily for tall container for smoothies and milkshakes, and the shorter bowl in the place of a mixer and food processor. It's powerful, effective, quick, and easy to use. I highly recommend it.

I love this keyboard. No charging, feels similar to an apple keyboard, and includes a number bad. My only gripe is that there is no way to check the battery level. Yes, it's solar powered, but it does include an internal battery for times that light is not available. There is a button at the top right to see if charge is good, but it doesn't indicate a percentage, just a happy face or sad face...which isn't terribly helpful.

Convenient but not a must
Customer Rating

I have an echo in my living room and one in my bedroom. I use them consistently throughout the day. Turning lights on and off, setting alarms, checking the weather, getting a new brief, and most recently with my Plex media server.
The voice training on the voice, so it recognizes how YOU specifically say words, is helpful. My 5 year old can even talk to it and it understands him. The new skills are constantly being updated. I foresee the Echo and similar products become standard accessories in the home.
The echo doesn't provide any functionality that doesn't exist in another device in your home, but it does add convenience and save time. It's definitely helpful, but isn't a must-have.

Sony - Extra Bass Wireless Over-the-Ear Headphones - Black
Enjoy your music with these Sony Extra Bass MDRXB950BT/B headphones, which feature Electronic Bass Boost circuitry for deep low-end sound. Bluetooth technology with AAC and aptX support allows easy wireless pairing with compatible devices.
Large but good sound
Customer Rating
4.0
These headphones are large, but they are extremely comfortable and provide good sound. I like strong bass in my music and I get that sound from the standard output of the speakers in these headphones. They do offer a Bass Boost feature if the listener is a bass head, but that would be overkill for me.
Original price is around $200-$250. I got these on Black Friday for $99 and couldn't be happier with the sound for the price. The bluetooth connection is strong and I haven't had an issue with it at all.

4K and upscaling is impressive
Customer Rating
5.0
After testing an Xbox One S, I'm extremely happy with this 4K player. The Xbox user interface was overkill for me, likely because I'm a Mac guy as opposed to Windows guy. It was just too much.
The user interface of the Samsung 4K player is simple and clean. The thing just works and run high quality output, as expected from 4K. I've also played DVDs and Blu-Rays and the upscaling is pretty impressive.
I wouldn't pay the normal price of $400, but if you can get it on sale for $200 or $250, it's well worth the expense.

I tried to daisy-chain two iMacs together using this cable. I'm not sure why it's measured in meters, but it didn't work for what I wanted to do.
The cable is effective and has high data-transfer rates, so it does what it says. It simply didn't help with the task I wanted.

The battery power and number of outlets met my needs. This device supports my computing equipment and accessories. The digital display makes it very convenient to know if you're reaching the peak levels of the device, and when there's a power outage, it is very simple to know how much battery you have left to ensure that items are powered down in time.

Bose - 161™ Speaker System - Black
Stereo or surround, these speakers offer high performance in a slim, elegant design. High-excursion Twiddler drivers in an Articulated Array® provide efficient Stereo Everywhere® performance.
If I was to hook up the speakers to my iMac, how would I?
I plan on just using the speakers for music. If they are not recommend for music what product should I use?
It isn't that they aren't designed for music, the deal breaker here is that they do not have a 3.5mm connector. You'll need to run speaker wire from these to your output source. As far as I know, no one makes 3.5mm connectors that adapt well to standard speaker wire.

Speaker position.
Is there a proper mounting for the 161 speaker? Can I use it as my front mains? Is it necessary to mount or place them in the horizontal position or can I mount or position them vertically
There isn't really a right or wrong mounting for these. They can be vertical or horizontal. Mine are mounted vertically as surround speakers. You CAN use them as front mains, but they aren't really designed for serious sound or to produce lower frequencies. They'll do fine for normal TV viewing, but I still wouldn't consider them as fronts for a fully designed system (5.1 or 7.1). If paired with a subwoofer you may be content, but I wouldn't think you'd be happy.

I have a kentwood KR4400 receiver don't want to blow speakers will these work
You won't blow this speakers by connecting them to a receiver. It all depends how loud you play your music. I wouldn't advise these as primary speakers for anyone who is seriously into music or plays things loud. They aren't made to produce the bass most any music requires. However, as surround speakers, they do a fantastic job.
If you're able to do an output assessment and adjust the number of ohms sent to these, and provide a quality balance, you shouldn't need to worry about blowing them out.

Fitbit Charge HR Wireless Heart Rate + Activity Wristband: This heart rate and activity tracking wristband is built to capture your movements and health patterns all day long. Easily monitor your heart rate so you can maximize your workouts, learn about your sleep quality and monitor progress on your goals.
Does the Fitbit HR count the steps when using an elliptical?
That's a great question. If it does it likely wouldn't be very accurate as the motion you use on an elliptical isn't anywhere close to the motion when walking.
