Keep your SoundLink Revolve or Revolve+ Bluetooth speaker charged and ready to go, with the SoundLink Revolve charging dock. It’s a convenient home base for your speaker, and you can play your music while it charges. Just plug the wall charger included with your speaker into the cradle. Available in Black.

Great Accessory
on April 3, 2017
Posted by: Robs
This charging cradle works with Revolve and Revolve+ speakers, but I used it with the Bose Soundlink Revolve speaker. The speaker simply sits on the cradle to charge, and the cradle makes for a stable, low-profile base. It charged my speaker within a couple hours, and that charge would last about 10 hours. It is important to note that a speaker remains fully functional for playback or phone features while it is charging on this cradle. This is an excellent feature, and it isn't always the case with lesser portable speakers. I find this accessory to be a must-have if you are purchasing a Bose Soundlink Revolve speaker.

Deep. Loud. And immersive, too. The SoundLink Revolve Portable Bluetooth speaker delivers true 360° sound for consistent, uniform coverage. Place it in the center of the room to give everyone the same experience. Or set it near a wall so sound radiates and reflects. This wireless speaker is durable, water-resistant and easy to grab and go - with a rechargeable battery that plays up to 12 hours.

Excellent speaker
on April 3, 2017
Posted by: Robs
The Bose Soundlink Revolve is an amazing speaker. It is cylindrical, wider at the base than at the top, and stands about 6 inches high. It produces very high quality sound, as you would expect from the brand. I listened to music at low, middle, and high volumes, and the sound is very deep and rich. This may be obvious but the sound is projected in all directions. This makes the speaker very versatile when it comes to placement in a room or space. It connects via Bluetooth, and I had no problems connecting my phone to it for music. I was also able to use my phone via the speaker and callers sounded great, but I didn't use it extensively for this purpose. There is a Bose app for the true audio fanatic, but it isn't necessary to enjoy this speaker. It does appear to be tough, as it took a tumble off of a table onto wood floors with no apparent damage or blemishes. The manual mentions that the speaker can go for 12 hours on one charge, but in my experience it went about 10 hours. This is a fine Bose product, and is on a different level than any mid-range portable speaker. I highly recommend it,

Alternative to Traditional Router
on December 14, 2016
Posted by: Robs
The Google Home WiFi System performs very well in the place of a traditional router by supplying fast, seamless WiFi coverage to all corners of my home. It comes with the 3 WiFi points, 3 cords, an ethernet cable, and a quick start guide. Each WiFi point is intended to cover up to 1500 sq ft of a home. My home is not nearly that large, so I cannot speak to the intended full coverage range of 4500 sq ft. If you have a smaller home, you might just want to get a single Google Home WiFi point, or two. Needless to say, three WiFi points in a smaller home does really well! The WiFi points have a low profile and blend in pretty well around the house. You simply connect the base WiFi point to your modem via the ethernet cable. Each point has two LAN ports, so on the base point one port is for the ethernet cable from the modem and the other can be used as LAN for a computer, etc. Each point will display different colors depending on if it is connected to the network or not. There is an App that you can use to control pretty much everything about the Google Home Wifi system, including the installation. It will ask you to scan the QR code on the base, and will walk you through the steps of setting up the remaining points. The app doesn't have great parental controls. It does have the option to setup Guest Networking, and it appears there is functionality to control smart home devices, like Hue light products. Overall, this system is very simple, streamlined, and blends into the home. I don't think it has all of the bells and whistles of a top-end router, but you probably wouldn't be buying this if you have the need for a top-end router.

Great router for multiple devices
on October 26, 2016
Posted by: Robs
This router is perfect for a user that has multiple devices on their network, and shines if the user desires to customize their network. It was quick and easy to assemble the router out of the box by screwing on the 4 small antennae. I connected it to my cable modem with the ethernet cable that was included, and was quickly able to login into the wireless network and setup the router through my browser. Once that was completed, I started moving my devices over to the new wireless network. The router seems to have a very strong signal, as my devices had strong wi-fi signal at various parts of my house and even yard. The new multi-user MIMO technology in the router worked very well as I was able to stream movies to multiple devices at the same time with no hiccups. There is a Linksys Smart Wi-Fi app that you can use to view your network, which is handy because you can setup guest access as needed, and basically manage the wireless network. I have not needed to customize my network because I don't find it to be necessary in my situation, but I would be remiss if I didn't mention that the router can be customized and optimized with several open source programs from the onset. The casual user may never want to dig that much into their network, but that is fine because it isn't required to appreciate this device. This technology should provide some future-proofing, but you will want a nice modem and strong internet signal from your provider to really take advantage of all that this device can offer.

Maintain a comfortable home environment with this Kyvol HD3 humidifier, which humidifies your home and soothes dry skin and reduces coughing, congestion and other symptoms by keeping proper air humidity at around 45% to 60%. The ultra-quiet ultrasonic feature ensures better sleep quality and 75 hours super long-lasting runtime to help indoor plants grow healthier, especially during dry winter season.
 

Where is the opening to fill the tank? Top, back, bottom? Wondering the ease of filling it. Thanks

To fill the tank, you remove the tank from the base and turn the tank upside-down as the opening is on the bottom underneath a screw cap. I have had humidifiers where that is a pain because of the weight when the tank is filled and because fitting it back on the base was clumsy. With this tank only holding about 1.1 gallons, the weight was fine. No problems flipping it when full and then situating it on the base.

This mouse can be used wired via the cord or wirelessly via a USB A dongle once the mouse is charged. There is no bluetooth mode. This isn't the sort of wireless mouse that needs AA or AAA batteries. It has a rechargeable lithium battery inside.

Does this not have a chat mixer on it?

In the iCue software that controls the ARGB and includes an equalizer with presets, there is a mode that prioritizes chat. However, there is no chat mix button or toggle on the headset itself.

Can sleep buds 2 connect blue tooth to different apps on my phone?

No. Bose made the decision that the Sleepbuds will only connect via bluetooth to the Bose Sleep app which will only play from a selection of sounds. These are not for listening to music, answering calls, or for audiobooks. The sole intent is to help people fall asleep.

I have the original Bose - Sleepbuds....are these the same thing or improved in some way?

I think they are improved. The shape fit better in my ear and there was less noise from the sleepbuds sliding on the pillowcase or turning my head. I also think the sound technology has improved with the sounds available on the Bose Sleep app. I saw improved sleep results in both the time it took me to fall asleep and the quality of my sleep.

If I use these and they truly block out all sounds, does it come with an alarm built in the app? I don't wanna have my alarm clock set and not hear it due to me wearing these through the night

Yes, there is an alarm feature as part of the Bose Sleep app that connects with the sleepbuds. The interesting part is that because the sleepbuds have their own memory, and the alarm you would set would be uploaded to the sleepbuds, the alarm will actually work even if your mobile device runs out of battery.

Are these noise canceling on the "Microphone" side as well? I'm often in Coffee shops, with a lot of ambient noise, and I'd like to find something that reduces background noise for the listeners on the other side.

Yes, it blocks out all noise but your voice. I felt like they did a very good job with that.

Are you able to run with the QuietComfort Earbuds? Do they stay in your ear while you go on runs?

Yes, they'll stay in your ear. I think this version will stay in a runner's ear better than previous version thanks to their new design. They aren't as small as workout-specific earbuds, but they felt nice. And they are meant for all day wear.
