Great bulbs, but hopefully prices drop

These bulbs are great--they're plenty bright and offer a great range of color and lighting temperature. Though it's a little cumbersome to administer, they integrate well with Apple HomeKit, Amazon Echo/Alexa, and IFTTT. Unfortunately, the price point keeps me from outfitting more than just a room with these things!

Solid earbuds for music, not great for phone

Verified Purchase:Yes
If you're looking for a solid Bluetooth experience for running, hitting the gym, etc., these are solid. The fit is comfortable and the buds stay securely in ear--I've found Bose's silicone tips to be the best around. Audio quality and loudness is better than I expected, with solid, punchy bass. Battery life is right around 6 hours, as advertised. Build quality feels solid--unlike some other Bose earbuds, the cord and the control switch are ruggedly rubberized.
On the downside, having a cord between the buds is a bummer (I'd prefer that these were totally wireless), they do take some getting used to (I found them a little bit bulky the first couple times I ran with them, and they're susceptible to small amount of wind noise since they stick out of your ears further than wired earbuds), and the audio quality while on a call is mediocre at best.
All in all, they're solid, as long as you have the right expectations.

Questionable build quality, but serves its purpose

Verified Purchase:Yes
2 of the steel weld joints were faulty in the first product I bought (product could not be assembled at all). Replaced with another set--weld joints are sloppy on this one, but adequate. I'm not thrilled with the product, but it serves its purpose at a relatively reasonable price. Recommended--but only at a sale price ($50 or less!).

The new Apple TV delivers an all-new experience with Touch andSiri, powerful new hardware, and great content, games, and more on the App Store. The Touch surface on the new Siri Remote offers innovative ways to interact with your TV, creating a connected experience with a screen that's across the room. With Siri, finding something to watch is as easy as just asking. And with apps, Apple TV allows you to customize your TV for personal and shared experiences in the living room.

Overall, good. Disappointingly lacking 4k support.

Summary says it all. Apple TV is great for what it is--a streaming media player, that happens to double as an Airplay receiver (great for extending a Mac display) and also a lightweight game console. It's disappointing, however, that it doesn't offer 4k support.

Cheap and functional...but annoyingly noisy
on February 4, 2015
Posted by: JYfromBoston
Verified Purchase:Yes
What can I say? I picked this wine cooler up on sale for $75--and at that price, it's decent...though I definitely would not pay more for it...and probably wouldn't even purchase it again, knowing what I do now.
For starters, it looks to be about as cheap as you pay for it. Build quality seems reasonable, but don't expect to be wowed by the quality of its build or appearance. Thus far, this unit has been adequate at keeping wines at my desired 58 degrees inside my ~70 degree home. So what's the issue, you ask? One of the annoying quirks of its thermoelectric cooling is that once the desired temperature is reached, the fan responsible for that magical temperature regulation VERY frequently cycles from low to high and back again--like every 5-10 seconds... And while the fan is not terribly loud (even in its "high" state), the whirring transition as it spins up and spins down can really be very noticeable and disruptively annoying in a quiet room--which is the case in my house.
All-in-all, I don't think I'd buy this model again--I would instead invest my money on a higher end unit that looks nicer and doesn't subtly drive me nuts.

ZAGG InvisibleShield Glass Screen for Apple iPhone 6 or 6s: Protect your device's display from scratches and skin oils with this durable tempered glass screen. Designed for ease of use, the screen is extra thin and smooth for optimal touch sensitivity.
Posted by: JYfromBoston
Verified Purchase:Yes
First things first, when I initially purchased the InvisibleShield Glass, I was excited. ...Until I got home and realized that BB sold me an empty box. To their credit, they made this right by swapping my empty box for actual product with no hassles (besides the hassle of returning to the store). Advice: if you purchase in store with the intent of applying it home--make sure it's actually in the box before you leave the store!
After installing the Glass (super easy), it looks nice. It feels nice. It is not, however, nearly as durable as I had anticipated. You should know that it's not nearly as scratch resistant as the device on your device. After 3 weeks of careful/casual use, my Glass already has a few light scratches--and it even has a small chip on one edge. While I'm just some internet guy whose word probably means nothing to you--I can assure you that I'm very careful with my device and haven't dropped it or mistreated it...so I'm not really sure why my Glass is already weathered, but it's reason for concern. The good thing is that Zagg will replace the Glass, as it comes with a lifetime warranty.
All in all, I don't think I'd purchase the item again, given its price point and durability.
