Bought this for $16 on sale, it shipped quickly.
This little device is easy to use, and when tuned properly, sounds great too. The key thing is choosing a radio frequency that has no static or crossfeed, far enough from other radio stations - this may take time to tune properly. Also, be aware that if you travel long distance, you will probably need to do more tuning.
The sound is actually good. Great bass, mid-range, and treble, like a CD playing. I haven't used the microSD or USB feature yet, just the Bluetooth function. Connecting and reconnecting my phone is easy and quick.
As with owning an older vehicle with no AUX or Bluetooth ability, this is a great choice for those that don't want to replace their stereo, especially those with audio controls on the steering wheel where most aftermarket stereos don't take advantage of.

Bought these for my Mother In Law because she's a huge fan of the series. This a good collection for the price, however there's room for improvements.
The picture quality for the movies is good enough - the DVD format limits it though. I realize these are old movies, but an HD Blu Ray version would be welcomed.
Also, for some reason the last movie "Song of the Thin Man" is missing from this collection, a puzzling decision, which makes this an incomplete collection in my opinion.
However, for someone who wants to own the first four movies, this a good choice - for some reason, the Thin Man movies sold separately are ridiculously expensive, and I have no idea why. So go ahead and get this if you want to save money and don't mind the DVD format.

Bought these for work to upgrade my Sony earphones that just weren't cutting it - I'm not familiar with the JAM brand, but they have made an excellent product here.
These headphones are well built - very much so. Buttons are well built and water/sweat proof, and have positive tactile feel. The neckband portion is flexible and sturdy, comfortable to wear for a full day of work. The cords that connect the earbuds to the main chassis are sturdy and well made.
The battery life is loooong. 12 hours is more than what I need!
The sound on these sub 50 dollar headphones is phenomenal! The bass simply BOOMS and the response is so precise. Sound isn't washed out by the bass however, treble and midrange show up very well.
If you're still reading this novel of a review, look no further for Bluetooth headphones - these are all you need!

Bought these because I needed Bluetooth headphones and I'm an admitted Sony fan. These headphones are adequate and sound pretty good, however they are not the best build quality for the intended price these are sold at. They seem somewhat durable and water and resistant, but the cords are lower quality than I expected.
On the plus side, these headphones serve the function well and sound great. Good bass response, long enough battery life to get through an 8 day of work. They connect easily too, I love the NFC function on it.
In conclusion, these are good headphones for the discounted price I got them for, but I would not recommend someone buying them at full price - there are better options out there.

Bought this for the wife because the standard Switch Joy Cons are notorious for getting stick drift - and her Joy Cons on both sides had stick drift. This is an excellent, well made controller that every Switch owner should have!
Pros:
Long battery life, quick charging time
Controller feels solid, not flimsy at all
Buttons feel great, have good response
Connects to Switch easily
Cons:
Wish these came in other colors.

Bought these on a whim because I needed extra flash drives around the house for backup. These are simple 32GB flash drives, nothing fancy, but they work well. Have only been using them since 2/2020 but I don't expect anything to go wrong.
My only complaint is these drives don't light up when connected or transferring data. But I can live with that.

Overlooked Comedy from Steve McQueen

Soldier in the Rain is a B&W comedy starring Jackie Gleason and Steve McQueen that came out in 1963. The story revolves around two buddies in the Army, McQueen as a supply Sergeant and Gleason as his superior officer. Tuesday Weld costars as a ditzy teenager and Tony Bill also appears as McQueen's screwball sidekick.
Plot synopsis aside, I just wanted to own this movie as a collector of Steve McQueen films. This film is one of his least popular as it was overshadowed by the assassination of JFK and also because McQueen wasn't that popular in comedy driven movies.
This film isn't offered on Blu Ray Disc, and probably never will, so this your best bet for seeing this film, as I have not seen this movie available on any streaming platform.
This a very basic DVD by the way. in fact it's actually a DVD-R that just has the disc art printed on it. Only the main feature is included - there isn't even a scene selection menu.
Still, for anyone that is a fan of this film and wants to own it, this is the only way.

Pros:
- Pretty decent sound
- Decent Bass response, Treble isn't bad either
- Mic pickup is acceptable
- Audio cord seems sturdy enough
- Comfortable enough to wear for long gaming sessions
Cons:
- It looks cheap. The headset does light up and color change when plugged into USB, but it is very basic.
- I highly doubt this headset is 2.1 Audio. It has stereo sound and that's about it.
- The microphone boom doesn't pivot or fold away, it's just there, always sticking out. There isn't a lot of flex in it either.
- This is a nitpick, but the mic cover is translucent blue, making me think it would light up, but it doesn't. It's just for show.

Anyone who's a fan of disaster movies or Steve McQueen should have this in their collection!
The Towering Inferno follows an all star ensemble cast as they deal with a massive fire at the debut of the most advanced skyscraper yet.
There's lots of thrills, daring escapes and unexpected deaths in this film. You get get the feeling that nobody really is safe from the fire or the building.
Also and excellent film score by a John Williams young in his career.
For $5, getting this film in Blu Ray with all the bonus feature goodies is hard to beat!

Hisense - 55" Class U7G Series Quantum 4K ULED Android TV
Sure, it’s great for Netflix, the big game and the real housewives of wherever. But the U7G is made for the gamers. It’s got our exclusive ULED technologies, 4K resolution, Quantum Dot Color, Dolby Vision HDR, Full Array Local Dimming zones and Android TV operating system. On top of all that, we added a 120Hz Native panel for smoother, more fluid motion and HDMI 2.1, Variable Refresh Rate and Auto Low Latency Mode for gaming. The U7G also has up to 1,000 nits peak brightness, which makes HDR ‘pop’ and means the picture is lit no matter how bright the room. All this looks great on paper. Now think how much better it would look on this TV.
 

Is this good for there series s for the full 120hz 4k experience? And with Dolby?

Yes, I use a Series S with this TV, and it works excellent! Fast playing games like Halo and Forza Horizon 4 are smooth with no lag.

This TV can support Dolby Digital and Dolby Digital Plus, or you can send it bitstream out to your receiver for decoding too.
