Great watch overall-Expensive, but feature rich

Verified Purchase:Yes
I have had a number of GPS watches over the past 14 years-Timex with separate GPS pod, Suunto X9i, Motoactiv, and Fenix 2 (bought just before the 3 was announced). Each watch has been better than the previous (though the Motoactiv had maps which the Fenix 2 did not). I have had the 5X a month now and have hiked, run, and biked with it. I am getting about 8/9 days on a charge so far representing about 8 hours of GPS use in each charge span. Hiking is nice because trails (in National and State parks so far) show up on the map. I haven't used the function to generate predetermined courses based on desired distance yet, but will do so soon. I like the customizable face that allows me to show sunrise/sunset, steps, charge, date and moon-though I wish it showed the phase of the moon like my Fenix 2 does. It is nice having the built in HR though I still use the strap for running and biking. GPS capture is nice and fast-faster than my Fenix 2. Even though I have an older Garmin HR strap, the watch did a software update and captures more dynamics than were captured on my 2. If you have a Fenix 3 (especially the HR) this watch probably isn't worth upgrading for due to the cost. It is definitely a huge leap from my Fenix 2. I have yet to use the find restaurants, etc feature but will try it out the next time I travel. Overall a very solid product-expensive, but it is intuitive and a good every day watch.

Excellent Receiver for the price

This replaces an older Pioneer receiver that didn't have bluetooth or wifi and the inclusion of ATMOS was great. The bluetooth and wifi work great. I had to order some new ATMOS capable speakers to complete the system, but so far there isn't much out there-the demos I ran on VUDU make me look forward to watching movies in that format. I hope that DTS X will be available in a firmware update, though even if it won't the system is still solid. I like being able to adjust things on my iPad or phone. Overall a solid performer-especially getting it $200 off.

Listen to tunes on the go with these Able Planet True Fidelity BT400B Bluetooth wireless headphones that utilize LINX AUDIO technology for optimal sound quality and speech clarity. The on-ear volume control lets you easily adjust the audio level.

overall a good pair of over hear headphones

I got this pair after going through 3 pairs of Motorola S305s (pure garbage) in a month. I like over the ear headphones for cold winter jogs. These are comfortable and sound good overall. My only complaint is that at low volume there is a hiss/hum that is more noticeable than on previous bluetooth headphones.

These Motorola MOTOROKR S305 89335N headphones feature Bluetooth technology, so you can wirelessly stream audio from a Bluetooth-enabled music player or mobile phone for easy connectivity. The control buttons make it easy to adjust volume and more.

Sounds good, but questionable durability

I used to have some Rocketfish headphones like these, but could not find them again. I like full ear coverage because I run in the winter and they serve as earmuffs. After losing my Rocketfish headphones I found these and the price was right, though there were some complaints about quality already on this site. I didn't have many options and bought them with an extended warranty. Sure enough 2 weeks into my first pair the buttons stopped working and I couldn't turn them off. I am now on my second pair and we will see how long they last. Overall the sound quality is good and they fit ok. Battery life is fine so far. If these headphones are failing due to sweat that is a major flaw in their design as I would guess most users bought them for use during exercise.
