I primarily got these because I was getting tired of using my in-ear ones all day long for work calls. Unfortunately, I am very disappointed in them and expected better from Sennheiser. I will give these a few more days, but will probably end up returning.
The Pros:
+ Sound quality is good
+ Battery life is great
+ Aux cable can make it usable as a wired set as well
The Cons:
- Noise cancellation is non-existent. There is no visual indicator of whether the noise cancellation is on or off. And the audio pretty much sounds the same with on and off.
- These are not over-the-ear headphones, but on-ear. They press your ears to such an extent that it borderline hurts after an hour or so of wearing them.
- If you use them for working out, please note that they will not stay stable, will often slip, and need readjustment.
- If you have it connected to two devices, and you walk out of range from the primary device, it constantly gives an annoying "Connection Lost" message every 10 seconds or so for 5 minutes. There is no way of turning that off.
- The app is unable, at least on Android. It just shows the device status and gives firmware update notifications. Not much else you can do there. Not sure why it needs almost 100MB of space.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I wanted a cheap and compact microwave oven for my kitchen and this was a perfect choice. Since I use it only to heat up stuff, and not full fledged cooking, this works for me.
The compact form factor means it doesn't take up much counter space, so ideal for small spaces.

I had always been told to get prime lenses if I wanted to improve my photography. I put off buying one for years but ultimately decided to go for this one.
I had no idea what I was missing. The low light performance is great because of the wide f/1.8, as well as the shallow depth of field makes portraits look nice.
This is a full frame lens, so if like me, you're using it on a DX sensor, be aware that the composition will be a 75mm equivalent on a FX camera.

Compact, lightweight and great for your everyday mixing needs. This hand mixer features 5 speeds, 2 Turbo Beater Accessories and the power and control to mix up your favorite cookie dough, mashed potatoes and so much more. Slowly stir in chunky ingredients, like nuts or chocolate chips, at speed one or whip egg whites or heavy cream at speed five.
 
Great for small, light batches

We basically bought this mixer instead of a big kitchen aid stand mixer as we never need to prepare large batches and don't have the space in our kitchen. This mixer is perfect for the small batches we do for cake and pancake mixes.
If you are someone who bakes large batches regularly or does thick batters, maybe get a proper stand mixer.

Is this compatible with a D3200?

Yes, I bought this for my D3200 and it works perfectly fine. Just be aware that since this is a FX lens and the D3200 is a DX body, the resulting composition will be a 75mm equivalent on the D3200.
