Good for the price

You get what you pay for with these, they are a good price for what they are... Good quality sound, great range, good battery life, etc... but nothing over the top, no frills. Lightweight and have a cheaper feel to them, but I didn't have any durability issues, and they feel may be do the the lightweight nature of these. Overall good, not great.

Works like it should, but is pricey.

Setup was easy. My existing router is a Linksys Velop, but it works with any router. The LED light tells you if you are in a good position or too far away, I found that helpful during setup.
The performance of the WiFi has been great so far. No issues connecting, and I haven't noticed my phone/tablets "switching" to the extender, it just recognizes it as the same WiFi signal as my router. It also works with both 2.4GHz and 5GHz, that is a plus.
Overall i would recommend this, although it is an expensive option, it does what it is supposed to do.

Cool looking functional watch
on February 20, 2018

This is my first Suunto, but I've followed the brand for awhile now.
Watch face is clear and easy to read, brightness isn't an issue at all. GPS features worked well for me, no issues syncing satellites or losing signal along a route.The watch synced up with my iPhone easily, and the app worked well. I wish this was a touch screen though for easier use.

Good value, works like it should
on December 21, 2017
Posted by: Samson
from Ohio, USA
Setup wasn't bad, but watch didn't come charged out of the box, so that was different than what I was used to. Battery life on this is good compared to others, but remember this is not a color screen, which i am fine with, but others may not like it. Overall I think this is a great value. GPS works great on my jog around the park, seemed accurate and the vibration after a mile was completed was a nice touch. Bottom line, if you're on a budget and want a nice GPS watch, i think you'll be happy with this.

Installation was straightforward and quick, offered to download from the CD, or download from web.
I was able to edit photos and videos pretty easily by adjusting the white balance, color, saturation, etc... also able to fix smiles, closed eyes, skin blemishes, adding embossing, motion blur, photo painting, adding custom frames, etc.
I also like that I can tag the photos, using the "Smart tags" feature. this makes searching and finding specific images a breeze.
Very easy to share pics straight from the software to social media.

GOOD, but missing things that could make it GREAT
on November 20, 2017
Posted by: Samson
from Ohio, USA
Packaging: great and easy to open and assemble (put batteries into cameras).
Powered up, and thought it was a big plus that the batteries came with a 100% charge... that was great and an unexpected bonus. Syncing was easy and relatively fast. everything paired nicely and is range of the base.
Installation: using the provided screws and magnetic mounts, I found it easy to setup and put in my desired place. No issues.
Battery life: The one on the front of my house that gets A LOT of traffic from 4 cats, people, kids feeding cats in the morning, etc.… and is at 81% battery after almost 2 weeks. I'm impressed with this because I probably get 60-70 alerts per day (more on that later), so it is on and recording for a significant portion of the day. The camera on the back of my house gets significantly less traffic (maybe 1 alert every other day) and is at 96% after almost 2 weeks. Again, battery life has been impressive. The weather has been colder recently (20’s at night, 30s-40s during the day), but batteries seem unaffected.
Pros:
Super easy to mount, NO WIRES. Literally anyone could setup this system and not feel overwhelmed with it.
Batteries: Very impressed so far. I even have the camera optimized for higher video quality and less battery life.
FREE PLAN-no brainer, easily the best feature of this system.
Cons:
Charging cable length-this is a HUGE negative for this system… this cable alone severely limits this systems capability. If it was JUST a charging cable, it wouldn’t be a big deal… but because certain features of the camera are “unlocked” only when plugged in, it’s a huge negative… ex. You can only assign zones while the camera is on AC power… so If I want to stop getting 60+ alerts per day on my phone (and email), then I must plug it in…. except I can’t , because the included cord ISN’T LONG ENOUGH to reach my power outlet… and if I lower the camera, it’s not at the correct angle… great, I’ll just deal with the 60+ alerts per day and delete the 60+ emails… Every. Single. Day.
Another issue, I can’t figure out how to stop email alerts…I get the alerts on my cell phone, so I don’t also need email alerts. Especially when they’re all videos of cats walking around.
I would “disarm” the system, but another drawback… if I disarm it, I get NO alerts or recordings… so its either I deal with the alerts, or get none… that’s a tough one… I don’t want to miss something significant or important (someone trying to get into my house), so I leave it armed.
HD doesn’t look HD. I have the camera set for the highest video quality, but they’re still not great. Zoom is pretty bad too.

Pros:
Can’t state it enough, 1 week FREE of recordings.... man that is great, I would give this 2 stars, but the option for 1 week free recordings really helps this product! Especially the price of competitor cloud storage systems, which I feel should all at least offer 1 free week since you bought their super expensive cameras.

Price is significantly cheaper that competitor models, but you may get what you pay for.
Ability to put anywhere it’s in range of Base system… I love that I could move these camera around… put one facing my pool for a day or so, then move it back facing my door, etc. the fact that its wireless offers a lot of freedom with this system.

Enjoy up to 10 hours of wireless audio with these Sony noise-canceling headphones. They produce rich sound by playing at audio frequencies of 3-40,000Hz and have a closed-back design that blocks outside noise for a better listening experience. These Sony noise-canceling headphones sit comfortably behind the neck and work with or without the 1m wire.

Very nice... but the price...eh
on October 27, 2017
Posted by: Samson
from Ohio, USA
The box and packaging are super premium, looks like these would be worth the hefty price tag. Super easy and intuitive to turn on, connect to my phone and iPad with no issues. Sound quality is great, great high's and bass. Pure sound, very clear.
However, i don't like that there is no hard storage case with these, for the price tag, they should have included one, no question. Also, the control buttons don't work when using them as wired headphones. i thought this was some kid of mistake? Why wouldn't they work? strange... the buttons are hard to push/find anyway.
Last con: the battery life... only 10 hours wireless, that's a little too short for my liking.
Overall, Id still recommend, especially if you can get them for a few dollars off the $300 price.

Super easy setup... set it and forget it!
on October 27, 2017
Posted by: Samson
from Ohio, USA
Unboxing and setup was a breeze. App integration was easy, and setup was straightforward. Once i had a full charge, i setup the cleaning schedule on the app so i can have my house cleaned every other day. I really like that feature, and the "status" on the app is handy as well.
The Shark seems to transition easily from hardwood/tile to our carpet with no issues. It navigates pretty well around the house, but in full disclosure, this is my first robot vacuum, so i have nothing to compare it to. But it avoids obstacles and furniture easily and hasn't gotten "stuck" on anything yet.
I can see this vacuum proving its value in the long haul, especially in places where dust and crumbs tend to accumulate, so that "we" (the humans) don't have to sweep nearly as much.
I would definitely recommend this.

Really nice and efficient
on October 20, 2017
Posted by: Samson
from Ohio, USA
Works exactly as you’d want it to. Once the pieces are chopped to the right size, they drop down so they don’t get dropped any smaller. I really like that feature, especially for salsas, guacamole, and dips. I made 2 recipes from the recipe book it came with (salsa and guacamole) and they’ve turned out really well! Everyone loved the recipe and actually asked if they could get the recipe from me. A little bigger than I thought it be, but still fits in one of my cabinets, so size isn’t an issue.

Great size and sound
on September 27, 2017
Posted by: Samson
from Ohio, USA
Super small and durable, GREAT sound, ruggedly made. I honestly expected the sound to be sub-par because of the size of this speaker.... I was wrong. It only seems to charge up to 90%, not 100% for some reason (it tells you the charge level when you turn it on)... unless I'm not letting it charge all the way, but I had it plugged in for several hours, so I'm not sure... either way, 90% is just as close to 100% for me. Plus its waterproof, BONUS. I love having this speaker, super small and lightweight which makes it the most portable speaker I've used, GREAT sound, seriously, pretty comparable to my bigger Bose Soundlink III. I've been listening to it for 4+ days in a row (a few hours each night) on the same charge, no complaints, great for the price.

Improve your audio experience with this Samsung three-channel soundbar. This unit, which has a built-in subwoofer, channels high-resolution full-spectrum sound and eliminates the need for an extra bass speaker. Use 4K pass-through to connect your Blu-ray player or other UHD device to the Samsung three-channel soundbar for stunning multi-channel audio and a clear picture.
The soundbar comes with the wires to connect it right?
It comes with an optical cable to connect it to a TV, but supports connectivity via Bluetooth, Wi-FI (Samsung only, certain models), and HDMI cable (not included). I used Optical cable and it works perfect.
