This is my third guitar headphone amp. And I would say it's the worst of the 3.
It is very convenient to use, a big plus. But I just don't find the sound quality to be very good. It seems deficient in the highs.
So its pluses are low cost, small size, and convenience. It's OK to practice with, but frankly I found the poor sound quality to be annoying. I would advise to try a different option.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Bright, fast, and responsive. Vibrant 10.1” 1080p Full HD display and powerful performance thanks to 3 GB of RAM and an octa-core processor. Great for on-the-go. Enjoy up to 12 hours of reading, browsing the web over wifi, watching videos, and listening to music from anywhere. Power back up via the USB-C (2.0) port. Amazon engineers Fire tablets to hold up against everyday life. As measured in tumble tests, Fire HD 10 is 1.7x more durable than the latest iPad 10.2-inch. Screen made with strengthened aluminosilicate glass.

I bought this to use on Passover, instead of cleaning my very big 1200 watt microwave oven I use the rest of the year.
This one is quite nice. Really takes up less space than my big one, but cooks everything I need very quickly.
Has lots of options, and is fairly quiet. The only thing I miss is the moisture sensor that my other one has.

OK, it's not an OLED. But it costs a fraction of an OLED. I am very pleased with the TV. Picture quality is very good, although I have not run a detailed set up with my calibrating Blu ray yet. Sound is good. Fire TV option is good. And I also really like that the Alexi phone app can set a timer to turn the TV on and off.
I played some 4K content from Disney+, and the sharpness was absolutely incredible.
One drawback would be that it has a very narrow viewing angle.
But other than that, I am very happy with the set.
Also please note I took off 1 star because it is not the best TV available. But for most use, it is excellent.

Content is superb, of course. Picture quality less so. Source material is 16mm, and it is enlarged to be wide screen, and enlarged even more for close ups.
But in any case, a must have for Beatles fans.

Takes a bit of practice, but the device works fine. The instructions are pretty useless. Be sure to select which ear you're going into on the settings, otherwise you will be working in reverse.
The picture quality is quite good. However, putting on one of the ear scoop thingies drastically cuts down the ability to see. Remove it, and there is a very clear view.
You can also use it in your nose, and it comes with a tongue depressor to use in your mouth. So you can finally see what your mother saw for all those years checking you for a sore throat.

No, it does not. I can clearly see my ear drum with this device, and I believe that if I pushed it in further its probe would touch the ear drum. I can't tell for sure, but I'm not going to test that out!

 Geeni - Wi-Fi Light Switch - White
Geeni - Wi-Fi Light Switch - White
Automate your traditional light fixtures with this Geeni TAP smart light switch. It requires only a Wi-Fi connection for convenient hub-free setup, and it provides flexible control via its built-in button, with your smartphone or by voice through Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant or Microsoft Cortana. Set operating schedules for this Geeni TAP smart light switch via the companion app.
 

Does it need a neutral wire?

Yes it does. If this helps: My house was built in 1959. All the light switches have only two wires attached. But when I looked in the box the switch is in, sure enough, it had a common wire that is unused. So I was able to hook up this switch, and it works great. Good luck.

Connect up to 4 devices to the coaxial connection from your cable or indoor/outdoor VHF/UHF/FM antenna with this mini drop amplifier. It works with the DC power provided by components, or with the AC power provided by the included adapter.
 

Instructions for hook up

im a little confused how to hook this up. I'm not seeing a difference therefore I'm thinking it's not hooked up correctly.
You ALWAYS put a signal amplifier at the source, in this case the antenna. Signal is lost from the antenna to the end connected to the TV, and thus there is more "noise." You want to amplifier the strongest signal you can, not the weaker, "noisier" signal. Therefore, the amplifier goes at the antenna, not the TV.

Can I still turn the light on and off like a conventional switch by just pressing it, or must I use the app every time?

You can press the switch to turn it on or off. If you have Alexa, you can tell her to turn it on or off, and never touch the switch.

 Insignia™ - 15,000 mAh Portable Charger for Most USB-Enabled Devices - Black
Insignia™ - 15,000 mAh Portable Charger for Most USB-Enabled Devices - Black
Provide ample backup power for portable devices with this two-port15,000 mAh Built-in Cell Capacity Insignia USB power bank. This 2.1-amp Insignia USB power bank charges two devices simultaneously and with optimal speed. Performance will vary based on settings and environmental conditions, and will decrease over time and use.
 

Does this contain a Lithium battery? Can it be carried onto a plane? Can it be carried in luggage?

Oddly, the box and the instruction sheet do not mention what type of battery it is. However, on the battery itself it does say in very small print "Li." So therefore, it is a Lithium battery. You must not put this in a checked bag! It must be carried on board with you. This is a safety measure in case it catches fire.
