Great earbuds. Not the latest and greatest but have good sound, stay in your ears and work well with other Apple products.

I replaced my previous Ipad Pro with this model. It has a lot more storage and works just like the last one. Changes--the main way to get into the machine is through face recognition which is very good unless it is dark and you have to use the pin. There are other times like entering some ID's where fingerprint was easier. I miss the fingerprint pad. The connector is the new USB c which means all your cables and connectors have to be changed again.

I have a number of these devices around the house and use them to get information and control devices. I find all of them work well and there is no significant different in what they will do. The one problem is that if your Internet goes down, the device won't do anything until it goes back up.
This is a basic model where you have the company logo on the side and a plastic exterior. If you don't mind the look, it is a fine model. If you want an upgraded look, get the next model up. In either case, try to wait for one of the frequent sales if you want a better price. We like them a lot.

This was purchased to go with a new 4K tv. It is a compact unit that is like most players being easy to use and supports all the different formats from ultra HD down to a standard DVD. The picture output is good and the picture it produced on the TV was outstanding. We think it is a great unit.

This product was purchased to replace an earlier model. It has a better overall look and a slightly better sound than before. The performance is about the same as the earlier model. If you are getting a new echo device or want to upgrade the looks, this is a fine model. I would recommend waiting for a sale before purchasing which happens frequently.

We found this to be a pretty standard mid-size unit. This controls were easy to use with several ways to enter cook times. There is a sensor built-in to cook different types of food which we found to be better in some cases (beverages) and less so on others (potato). The size is fine for heating frozen dinners and most things but would be small for cooking full dinner items. We find it to be a great mid-size oven.

Love these headphones. Sound quality is very good. Noise cancellation is great. I find them to be light weight enough to wear for extended periods of time. They are charged by plugging into a USB port and one charge will last for a day if you use them a lot and several days if used intermittently. I'd buy them again.

This unit has worked well since I purchased it. There is enough storage space for video files and all the other things on multiple drives on my computer. I found transfer speed very good. This drive comes with backup software that is easy to use and is configurable to back up some directories and not others. The same software will also control multiple WD drives.

Enjoy a clear view from afar with these Nikon ACULON A30 binoculars, which feature Eco-Glass multicoated lenses with roof prisms for enhanced brightness and picture clarity. The dual-hinged, foldable design fits in your pocket or bag.
 

Is there a diopter adjustment for one of the eyepieces? If so, what is its range of adjustment?

Yes but I don't know the range. It seems to be pretty much what I see on other binoculars though. By the way, great little compact binoculars that I've taken into concerts and use in the yard with wildlife.

Extender and Router aren't making connection. WPS being pressed on both but no luck.

We had some problems at first because we were impatient. Follow the directions carefully and give each step some time to connect itself.

I’m having trouble with smartphone connection where I live. Will this help my connection with Wi-Fi on my phone?

Maybe. Take your Smartphone so you are close to your router and look at signal strength. In this area it should be strong and you should have no connection problems. Then go to where you have problems and look at signal strength. If there is a difference and you only have the connection problems in the distant area, this may work and would be worth a try. If you have connection problems all over, it is likely you have some other problem.

It works on mine.
