It's a Cable

Verified Purchase:Yes
After moving I couldn't find my 25ft cable the I already had so I had no choice but to buy this. I think it's too expensive for what it is but I needed it. It works just fine.

Not A Winner With This One
on December 16, 2016

Verified Purchase:Yes
I have used Zagg keyboards for all of my tablets and love them. Unfortunately, this one just doesn't quite work. It's way too heavy and makes the surprisingly lite iPad Pro 12.9 just too heavy. You may as well be lugging a full laptop at this point. The other more concerning point for me is that the slightest movement of the iPad makes the hinges creak and grind and I feared they would break. After spending that much money I just didn't feel it was going to stay the course so I returned it.

Enjoy outstanding color and rich visuals with this Sony 40-inch LED TV. A pair of HDMI inputs allow you to connect up consoles and DVD players so that you can enjoy full HD resolutions from your media, and the Motionflow XR 120 technology in this Sony 40-inch LED TV reduces blur for clear pictures.

Beautiful Picture But Lacking Enough Ports
on November 24, 2016

Verified Purchase:Yes
I love this tv and it's a huge step up from what I had. I don't need or desire 4k for what I watch so this is perfect for me. I bought 2 of them and they both look great. The only issue is that there are only 2 HDMI ports which in this day and age just isn't enough. The guy at the store said there were 4 when I asked about it so I was disappointed when I got them to my new home and only found 2. I can live with it but it was still a bummer.

Works Great, but . . .
on September 18, 2016

Verified Purchase:Yes
In function, these are great. Paired up easily, sound good, comfortable, etc. The one flaw would be how you keep them around your neck without losing them. The little piece of plastic that is supposed to connect both sides just doesn't cut it. It makes them too short to keep in your ears or to get over your head. Plus, it's a pain to try to get the remaining side into the piece. I can barely see the piece to try to even get the wire into it and I have thinner fingers. Someone with big stubby fingers would likely never get the wire into the piece. But, other than that small nuisance, I'd recommend these for sure.

The RS 160 is a two-part headphone system, powered by a couple of NiMH batteries and a transmitter that connects to your output device. It's very simple to set up as the whole system is plug and play. This compact and portable transmitter utilizes Kleer's uncompressed digital wireless audio transmission. It offers an effective range of 20m (line of sight), and can serve up to four pairs of headphone.

Great sound but a little awkward!

How Often Used:Daily
Verified Purchase:Yes
My wife bought me wireless headphones and 6 years ago and I've used them every single day since then. Unfortunately, the ear pieces have disintegrated making them unusable. I finally decided on these as a replacement and didn't mind spending the extra money since Sennheiser makes good stuff. They sound great, set up was easy and I love them except for a few things. They really eat up batteries so get yourself a set of rechargeables so you always have a fresh pair on hand. Having to push a button on the receiver every time I want to use them is annoying. My old pair had an on/off switch so I just kept it on all the time. Now I have to remember to turn it on before I walk across the room and get into bed and get comfortable. And lastly, I only use these to watch tv when I'm in bed so the shape of the ear pieces has the bulk of the ear pieces in the rear of the phone which of course goes into the pillow which then jams forward and digs into my ears. Not the most comfortable for me. But, I can live with all of this.
What's great about it: Great sound and easy set up!
What's not so great: Chews through batteries and fairly uncomfortable when laying down on a pillow.

Good but not great!

This was a perfect solution for me. If I wanted satellite in my Mercedes (the unit that came with the car didn't have satellite functionality) I would have to have a new head unit installed and have the entire car reprogrammed to the tune of about $4500. Of course this is ridiculous when I just wanted to listen to satellite tunes. I found this in Best Buy and thought it would be perfect for me. Other than the app turning off and needing to be restarted it works just fine. Of course it sorta gets in the way of certain things in the car but again, it beats spending $4500!
What's great about it: Easy set up, good price and beats spending 4 grand on a new head unit!
What's not so great: Sometimes takes a long time to turn on and connect and even then sometimes it disconnect and needs to be restarted.

Only at Best BuyKeep data safe on this Western Digital hard drive. Its automatic backup software ensures your files are saved in case you forget. This Western Digital hard drive has an 8TB capacity to store your entire library.
 

my computer has usb2.0 only. what would I have to do if I wanted to use one of the faster usb3.0 or usb3.1 external WD easy-store 8tb hard drives ?

You'd have to buy a newer computer that has USB 3.0 ports. You can still use the drive since it's backwards compatible but you won't get USB 3.0 speeds.
