The SoundTouch® 300 soundbar looks slim. But the sound? Anything but. That’s because every cubic inch of it is packed with technologies that make everything you listen to or watch sound clear and spacious. It starts inside with custom-shaped speakers that keep the profile low and pump out big sound. QuietPort™ technology virtually eliminates distortion so you hear surprisingly deep bass. And Bose® PhaseGuide® technology makes you believe you’re hearing sounds where there are no speakers. On the outside, the glass top and perforated wrap-around metal grille make the soundbar look as good in your room as it sounds. And with both Bluetooth® and Wi-Fi® technology built in, you can wirelessly stream music any way you prefer. ADAPTiQ® audio room calibration from Bose ensures the soundbar sounds the best it can in the space you put it. HDMI™ connectivity with 4K pass-through keeps your system compatible with the most current technology. NFC provides quick and easy pairing. The SoundTouch® app gives you simple control over your favorite music. Works together with other SoundTouch® speakers so as you go from room to room, your music goes along with you. Includes a universal remote so you can control your other devices, too. Available in Black

Great option considering new iPhone limitations...

Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this wireless Bluetooth receiver because Apple did away with the plug I used to connect my phone to my head unit in my truck... I had been using a cable between the phone and my trucks entertainment system and that was fine, but I have to say even though I was forced to find a new method by Apples change to their phone, the wireless Bluetooth works great... Just remember to shut it off when you leave the truck, else the battery will run down pretty quick...

Nice, Low Cost Alternative...

Verified Purchase:Yes
I was looking for an inexpensive HDMI cable to use with my Apple TV connected to our television in the RV... I didn't need one of those expensive cables that you might spend the extra dollars for in a Home Theater application... This cable seems very durable, and I personally can't tell the difference between the picture quality using this cable or one of the higher priced cables... That makes the lower price point on this cable very attractive...

A very reliable and capable range extender...

Posted by: Bear
from Caldwell, ks
Verified Purchase:Yes
I was looking to extend my home WiFi to my RV some distance from the house. Prior to installing this range extender the signal was weak, and affected the overall performance of my technology products (I.e. Computer, iPad, and iPhone.) I did considerable research, and spoke extensively with experts at Best Buy. Ultimately I purchased the Nighthawk and never looked back. Installation was pretty straightforward, and the feature where you can combine both frequencies into one signal resulted in a very strong connection I was able to run my Dish Television and Netflix Apps without any HD video degradation, or starts and stops commonly experienced with weak signals... Very satisfied with this product: It solved all my issues and provided my family with another location (our RV) where we can enjoy television and movies in comfort...

Very happy with this new phone, but I've yet to be dissatisfied with any Apple product I've ever purchased... It's not a major upgrade in functionality over the iPhone 6, but some of the new features are worth the upgrade if your ready for a new phone anyway...

This is your basic, inexpensive, hard plastic case that does its job, and holds up quite well with use... I selected this case to use with a magnetic mount in my truck.

A very nice case that provides great protection...

Verified Purchase:Yes
The case combines rugged good looks with great protection, versatility, and a place for your Apple Pencil, which is a very nice feature... The only con, and it's not that big of a deal, is where the sides of the case lap over the iPad glass. The sides are a little too soft, and tend to roll off slightly during handling...

Outperforms other mounts...

I've been looking for a good mount for my cell phone for quite sometime... Typically they start out good (most of them) but so enough they no longer adhere to my dash, and begin to fall off, with my phone, while driving... Big Problem... I waited to do this review until I had used this mount for awhile. It continues to stay put, and outperform all the others I've tried... Very Satisfied...

I found this product to meet my needs, and expectations. I was looking for a back up drive I could preload with movies and videos to take on vacation with us in the RV. Using our laptop, Apple TV, and Apple MiFi, we were able to stream these movies to our HDTV inside the RV each evening. The size of the drive made the number of movies we could convientently take with us more than enough... Drive worked great in this application...

I need something I can use in my rv at a campground to boost the wifi signal from the campground and then create a new secure wireless network for my devices to connect to in my rv. Is this what I need? If not, what should I use?

Hi RV Guy... I use this range extender for the very same purpose you articulated in you question... I installed this product in my RV at home to pull in my WiFi signal emigrating from my home. Prior to installing this product the signal was very weak, and I was unable to use my Dish Satillite and Netflix Apps. The weak signal caused the apps to hang up or degrade the signal to the point the broadcast continually started and stopped... This extender has a feature where you can combine both frequencies to achieve one very strong signal. I took the time to set it up that way and boy was that ever a good idea. The signal quality is first rate, and everything in the RV operates as it should (I.e. Computers, iPad, and iPhone...)

I have a verizon tablet with hotspot and i need to boost the signal inside my house which is made of concrete blocks would this work in my home

Hi Jeannie... It seems to me the issue you're facing is the concrete walls. Walls in general are barriers to any WiFi signal, and solid walls like concrete are the most difficult to navigate. This extended is a very good choice, but given your situation you might want to consider a new product that's hit the market. It's called Plume... They are looking to change the way we use WiFi, instead of having a router Plume uses mini WiFi hotspots that you plug in around your house. This setup gets around the issue of solid walls, and may well prove to be a better solution for your unique needs...

I have an Existing Fios Provided wireless router Located in my basement. There are 2 locations in my house where i have cat5e ports, is there a benefit to plugging nighthawk into the jack which then goes directly to fios wifi router?

I believe when you are plugged directly into the Cat5 the transmission speed and quality is enhanced significantly...
