Near Perfect for the Purpose Purchased
on September 27, 2016
Posted by: MathMan
Verified Purchase:Yes
I wanted a pair of bluetooth headphones for the gym. I did not want a pair that clipped on the ears however. My wife has those, I tried them and I did not like the feel. These fit snug in the ear (come with additional ear pieces) and deliver satisfactory sound. I would not suggest these if your exercise routine involves a lot of movement. The fit around the neck is not tight.

Verified Purchase:Yes
I purchased this AirPort to replace an old one (more than 10 years old). It was time to take advantage of the new wireless standards and the use of multiple antennas. It has performed to my satisfaction. I stream from Roku, Amazon and Netflix. I choose to purchase this Airport at Best Buy instead of Apple because of the rewards program. I was able to use a certificate and earn points at the same time. This made it a win-win for me. I was able to purchase my Apple product and be rewarded for doing so.

Good Buy Provider Cable Modem
on July 23, 2015
Posted by: MathMan
Verified Purchase:Yes
I have been using this Modem since December. At a rental fee of about $10 a month I have saved about $70 and just about paid for the modem. I purchased this Modem because of the reviews and because it was on the list of acceptable replacements provided by the cable company. I also purchased more modem than I needed. This will handle higher transfer speeds (up and down). I originally started with 20/2 and have been using it with 200/20 since June. It is working great and was easy to set up. It also fits in nicely to my surroundings. Looks more like a work of art, than a 50's set of rabbit ears.

Not for a Convertible
on July 23, 2015
Posted by: MathMan
Verified Purchase:Yes
I purchased and then returned this all in the same day. My return had nothing to do with the GARMIN. Over the years they have changed the screens. My old one has a matte screen that reduces glare. This is very important for me since I use the GARMIN in a convertible. The sunlight hitting the screen made it unusable. Had my second vehicle not had a navigation system, I would have kept it for that vehicle. It has everything you need in a navigation system and then some. A big screen, efficient routing, and the ability to set numerous parameters. Had this had a matte screen I would have it now.

This SanDisk Pixtor SDSDUSC-032G-AB6CN SDHC memory card resists water, shocks, extreme temperatures and x-rays to allow use in a variety of harsh environmental conditions. The Class 10 rating enables smooth, high-definition video capture.

Verified Purchase:Yes
My GPS is an old Nuvi. I had exceeded the limit of the on board storage and the small memory card I had installed when I first purchased the GPS (around 10 years ago). It would not take anymore updates. My choice was to replace the GPS or figure out how to get more memory. I contacted Garmin and they informed me that my Nuvi could handle a card up to 32GB. Problem solved and at a price that did not require the purchase of a new GPS. It is fast . . . maps render quickly and I get to keep a GPS that I like and have configured to meet my needs. I have SanDisk cards in all my cameras (3), my Rokus (2) and keep spares for the cameras just in case.

Perfect for Charging Phone
on July 23, 2015
Posted by: MathMan
Verified Purchase:Yes
I purchased this for the sole purpose of charging my iPhone in an emergency. I usually charge my phone overnight when necessary; so I did not want to spend a lot of money on a mobile battery pack. There are some very expensive choices available, which I considered. But I have had good luck with Insignia products (mostly cables) and decided I would give this a try. It has worked flawlessly and at a satisfactory price. I do not know if it is as fast as other mobile battery packs. My main use has been when I did not have access to my vehicle (USB port for charging) or not near (or in reach of) an electric outlet to use the phone charger. This has been perfect for when there is no alternative.

My wife asked me to pick her up a case for her new iPhone. Her only requirement was that it be colorful, light and durable. She has a tendency to drop her phone. Her case for her last iPhone looks like it survived a crash. Dented and scratched best describes her last case (Mophie charging case). She has had this case for sometime (and I did get the color/pattern thing right) and it has survived a few drops from various heights. The rubber bumpers on the corner seem to do a good job of protecting the inside of the phone.

Perfect for Storing Disk Utility
on July 23, 2015
Posted by: MathMan
Verified Purchase:Yes
The drive utility that I use requires that it be run from a disk to preform some functions. I needed a reliable drive with enough memory to handle the task. I have been using SanDisk in some form for a long time. They have never failed me. The added bonus was that I happened to need this disk when they were running a sale. It is 3.0, the latest USB standard and is backward compatiable. I can use it on my laptop which is 3.0 and my desktop which is 2.0. The speed will be slower on the 2.0 standard, but still fast enough to run the disk utility in a timely fashion.

I have a problem pairing these with my iPhone 6+. The first pairing no problem. Problem comes when I try to pair a second time. Connection unsuccessfulful it says. I have to "forget this device" before I can connect again. same with Jaybird X2's.
Had a similar problem. Hold down the pairing button on the buds until it flashes red and blue. Then pair. That worked for me on my iPhone 6.

Can this be used to create the recovery?
I have windows 8 and need to create the recovery disc. I want to put it on a flash drive. Is this drive compatible?
I use this type of drive (for my Mac) to run a disk utility program and also use one as a backup to the OS (only as a startup disk in an emergency). I do not use it as a backup for the main drive (which is possible with a large enough disk). To back up the computer I use an attached drive running a backup program.

USB 2.0 backup then plug into 3.0
I want to download movies off of my computer. It only has the 2.0, but then I want to view it on my TV which has a 3.0 interface. Will it play at the faster speed or will it be at the 2.0 rate that it was backed up on?
I think it works like this. You download the movies. Since it is 2.0 it will take a little longer. Once the movies reside on the drive, they are nothing but data (0's and 1's). Once you plug the 3.0 drive into a compatible 3.0 the transfer rate should be at the highest speed (provided they are both 3.0). The transfer rate is device specific not data specific?
