Good Basic Bluetooth Headset

Verified Purchase:Yes
I wanted a relatively inexpensive Bluetooth headset for a new smartphone. I don't talk on my phone that much, so didn't need a lot of bells and whistles. This works as advertised, and I have had no connectivity issues or complaints about the quality of sound. The battery lasts for days.

Excellent Speaker for me
on January 16, 2016
Posted by: Robominder
from Dayton, OH
Verified Purchase:Yes
I needed a portable speaker which could withstand the factory environment where I work (minding the robot). The speaker needed to be durable and rugged, somewhat impervious to all the particles (liquid and solid) floating around in the air, small enough to pack in my lunchbox, and LOUD enough to be heard over all the machinery. I was attracted at first by a super low price for the UE Boom that BestBuy was running on a One Day Sale, but after doing extensive online research, I decided that this speaker would be a better fit (this was also on sale at the same time, and even cheaper than the UE Boom). There are lots of great website reviews of Bluetooth speakers, but I particularly liked this one- www.oluvsgadgets.net/2015/09/review-jbl-flip-3-ue-boom-killer.html. He gives a nice balance of practical advice and geeky stuff, and also includes audio comparisons between the JBL Flip 3 and several competitors, so you can actually hear the difference in sound quality.
This speaker meets all of my needs. I also own a Bose Soundlink Mini, which- at more than twice the price- has a slightly richer bass sound, but I don't think that one could survive in my factory, so it stays home. The JBL Flip 3 puts out enough sound, and sounds good doing it, for me to give it 5 stars. I play it at full volume at work (it is charging all the time to keep from draining the battery), but I also listened to it at home one weekend at a reasonable volume level for several hours. It never ran out of power, and sounded really great when I could actually enjoy the nuances of the music.
Overall, I am very satisfied with this speaker and would recommend it to anyone looking for a small, rugged, attractive Bluetooth speaker that provides a balance of great sound, great battery life, and great price.

Great Features, Great Price, Repeat Customer
on March 2, 2015

from Dayton, OH
Verified Purchase:Yes
I have had a 24 inch Vizio E-series in another room for a couple of years and have been very happy with it, so I when I wanted to get a smart TV for my bedroom, I chose to get another. I would have liked to go with an even larger screen, but this is the biggest one that would fit my space.
The smart TV allows me access to the extra programming that I wanted, without needing to buy and install a separate streaming device. While Vizio is not the only manufacturer of smart TV's under 30 inches, they have more models to offer and seem to have figured out the right formula. The combination of size, features, price, and a brand I could trust made my choice very easy.
The E-series models were very highly rated by CNET, who said they offer "Unbeatable picture for the money", and " Vizio's E-Series likely represents the best value of 2014".
So if you are like me and want a small, good quality smart TV, I would certainly recommend you check out the Vizio E-series 28 inch TV (or any other size in this line). You can spend a great deal more and possibly get a slightly better TV, but I think that it would be hard to find another TV that gives you better value for your money than this one.

Good, basic computer speakers

Verified Purchase:Yes
These speakers were purchased to support mostly voice for video conferencing on a desktop. Space was at a premium, and I didn't need great sound quality as this computer is not used for gaming or listening to critically to music. The speakers are small and provide plenty of volume for their purpose. They will not win any awards for having a cool design, and I would not use them for regularly listening to music, but they perform well for a budget price.

This was bought to support my teenager who is enrolled in an online school. It was easy to set up and use. I like the fact that this camera pivots so it is adjustable up/down/left/right. This gave me flexibility to adjust it perfectly for its location.

Great printer for small home office
on September 19, 2014

I use it for:Document printing
Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this for a small home office to support school projects for my teenager, and wanted wireless so we could easily print from several different sources. I settled on this printer after researching quite a bit to find a balance of reliability, print quality, features, and low print cost per page. It was easy to hook up to all my devices, is fast enough for my needs, and puts out good quality prints. I bought it on sale for a good price, and the next week it was on sale even lower. Best Buy honored their pledge and refunded the difference with no hassle. The only thing I would have liked more is if the price adjustment could have been done over the phone or online, instead of requiring me to go back to the store.

Good, solid, everyday earbuds

How Often Used:3-5 times a week
Verified Purchase:Yes
I purchased these manly because they were on sale, and I plan to use them as a back-up pair of earbuds until my current ones fail. I have used these a handful of times around the house and while doing yard work just to break them in, and they have done very well. I wear my earbuds daily during 10 hour shifts on a factory floor, so most times I only get 2-3 months use out of them before they break. Some other brands I have tried gave me somewhat better sound and overall clarity, but they are often much more fragile. Previous Sony earbuds that I have used have lasted longer than average for me, and I am looking forward to the same level of performance from this pair. If you don't need to hear every nuance of your music, these will make a perfectly good, reliable set of inexpensive earbuds for you..

Short review- This phone case is well designed and rugged. It will protect your phone from just about anything you will encounter under normal conditions. If you need something waterproof, get an Otterbox Preserver, a Lifeproof, or just go for the S5.
Longer review- I recently purchased a Samsung Galaxy S4 at my cellphone company's store, and allowed the salesperson to talk me into buying another brand of protective case from them. I knew about Otterbox (my son swears by his) but they didn't have the one I needed and I didn't want to take the time right then to go to BestBuy to get one. Worst mistake I have made in a long time. The competitor's case did not have an opening over the microphone, so I had to hold open the cover for the charging port while talking in order to be heard. The case wrapped around the phone so far that some areas at the edge of the screen were not accessible, and the "screen protector" was so thick that I had to pound on the screen to get a response. The case also developed a tendency to hold down some of the buttons on the edges of my phone, which regularly drained my battery even when I wasn't using the phone at all. I finally had enough and came to BestBuy to get the Otterbox. Bottom Line- This case fits my phone perfectly, does not interfere with its functionality (it doesn't suffer from any of the "design flaws" of the competitor), and protects the phone even during my busiest and most active days.

Sturdy Monitor Stands
on June 24, 2014
Posted by: Robominder
from Dayton, OH
Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought these to hold a pair of KRK Rokit 6's. They are more than strong enough to hold my monitors which weigh 18 lbs each, and I do not have to worry about them tipping over. Very easy to assemble. The only complaint I have is about the "cable management" system, which consists of a single flimsy plastic clip at the top and bottom of each stand. The clip will only hold 1 cable (most users will have a power cable and an audio cable running to each monitor), and one of them broke off when I tried to insert a cable into the clip. I fixed it by using Velcro ties to secure the cables top and bottom, but feel that this poor design and use of cheap materials does not match the otherwise high quality and durability of the stand.

wifi not connecting to tv
I have tried everything to get my wifi to connect to the tv and it won't. The wifi literally works for everything else in my house except my tv. It use to work fine on my tv (my tv would actually let me connect) then one day it said it was connected but it will not do anything. I even bought a fire stick from amazon so I could use my netflix again and it still will not work. I tried my stick on the tv downstairs and it worked fine. My tv will not connect to the internet or let anything else connect to the internet. Any suggestions? This is highly frustrating and it's been way over a month since it last worked.
I had the same connectivity issues with this TV. My router is less than 20 feet away from this TV, and at first it would connect, but then it just stopped communicating with the router. We gave up trying to stream TV and used it for watching local broadcasts only. It also had some very frustrating power issues (when turning off the power, it wouldn't turn off completely, but then wouldn't turn back on either. I was constantly unplugging it to reset the power.) BTW, I also have a 24" version of this TV and have had no problems with it.
I had owned it more than 30 days so couldn't take it back to Best Buy, but it was still under the one year warranty from Vizio. I contacted them- very helpful and courteous- and they asked me to ship it back to them for repair. Within about a week, I got my TV back, and have had no more issues with it. Hopefully yours is still under warranty, otherwise you are probably just stuck with a bad TV.
