Power your Apple devices with this Belkin charge dock. It comes with a Lightning connector that charges iPhones and an integrated magnetic charger that provides Apple watches with more juice when needed. The single built-in cable of this Belkin charge dock lets you charge both devices simultaneously, saving you the inconvenience of using multiple cords.

Overall great, but a bit overkill
on August 29, 2016
Posted by: psyclopps
In short, I do like this device. Is it useful and compact getting rid of the need for multiple charges for the two devices. I'll start with all the positives.
This product looks good on my office desk. It is professional looking and matches the style of Apple devices. It charges iPhones and Apple watches as advertised, not quicker or faster but just as well. I like that I no longer have to have cords lying around my desk and each time I sit down I plop my phone or watch in to get it good to go for my next outing. I now go home with 100% charge each day. The device feels like it is built like a tank and is very heavy, it is not going anywhere on your desk, a huge plus.
On the down side (or up depending on how you look at it), the back has a dial. The dial controls the height of the power connector to your phone. This is for the purpose of adjusting the depth that the connector will be on the charger so that it can properly fit into various cases or no case at all on your phone. Thought it is useful, it feels a bit like an afterthought and is kid of a pain to properly adjust. It might just be me but it feels like it is not always effective or looses tension. The power adapter is also large which might be an issue, it will not fit into my power strip and requires its own plug on the wall to hang from.
Things I would change in the device, include making a more flush Apple watch charger. If you are not charging the watch, it sticks out very far. I would have added a better mechanism to the plug instead of the dial that is used. It is also very larger if you have an iPhone 6 or 6S. This is to make it more universal but clearly the size is designed for the 6 Plus or 6S Plus. Maybe if they made a separate model for each type (thought this might be overkill).
Overall, I like the device but I do not feel like it is truly needed. If you have some money to spend on cluttering your desk, please go ahead. If you do not seriously need it, you might want to skip over it.

Amazing speakers

I bought this on a whim after walking past them at the store. I was blown away by their bluetooth sound quality compared to the larger speakers next to them. Their appearance fits in in a professional setting and we have then on our serving table in the dining room. Pairing is extra easy through NFC. Hook up is only three cords, power and each channel.

WOW
on June 5, 2016
Posted by: psyclopps
Hopefully my summary provides enough emphasis of how I feel about these. These are easily the best headphones I have ever had. Lets start with the pros. I like the style, they are a bit large but the complement the shape of someones head. Most headphones fit me in a way that looks like the pop off the side of my head, the QC35 conforms. The most important part, sound, is absolutely amazing. I listen mostly to alternative, EDM, and occasional country. The bass is very strong and clean but not overly so like Beats tend to do. Treble is also very clear.
I have been using Power Beats 2 lately along with Creative Outlier on ear headphones to compare these two. They are in a different class of course but the Bose QC35 much more comfortable. They provide a good range on all sounds compared to the power beats. The Bose feel extremely high quality while my Outliers feel like they were made from cheap materials.
Battery life is the best I have ever seen on a pair of headphones. I get close to the advertised 20 hours on these things. My power beats give me about 4-5 while my Outliers give me closer to 8. I could not believe that I can listen to these for almost an entire day.
I have not had too much chance to test the noise isolation as there is nothing very noisy nearby and it will be a few weeks until I take any plane trip. Just to try out the feature though, it seems to work pretty well drowning out all static noises around me in the park and still allowing me to hear important sounds such as someone talking to me.
On the downside, these are quite large headphones compared to what I am used to. Not necessarily a bad thing but just not my norm. With a battery as large as it is, they are surprisingly heavy. I did not mind but when I let others try it on, some said they were too heavy to wear for a long period of time. They are definitely designed to be worn while sitting or lying down. They are not meant to be something you would wear while running or any activity. I will stick to my Power Beats or Creative Outlier for that as those are designed for workouts and are very light.
Last, these things are $350 which is very pricy. If you want some superb audio quality, battery life that lasts all day and you travel or commute a lot in noisy environments, these are for you and you can't go wrong. If you want a pair of headphones for working out or walking around town, maybe look elsewhere.

Much better than expected
on May 26, 2016
Posted by: psyclopps
from San Diego, CA
I was not sure if I should purchase this when it first came out. I was mostly leaning towards a Microsoft band as I love its design and power features. My main concern from the Fitbit blaze was it's larger appearance and limited smart watch abilities. They also did not have any on display so it was hard to decide. Luckily, an employee had one on hand and showed it to me. His wrists were similar size as mine (small) and the watch looked great on it. The smart watch features were enough for me (I do not need watch apps) and the notifications and music control worked well. I bought a blue one with a black band as well for business outfits. The watch looks professional enough to wear with any outfit and has a good style.
My only annoyances are... -people ask wayyyy too much if it is an Apple Watch, I have to explain it is a Fitbit over and over to many confused faces -Charging is weird. You have to pop the device out of the watch and put it in a cradle, it does charge fast though.
Great device and worth the money

Perfect product
on May 12, 2016
Posted by: psyclopps
This this is pretty much invisible once set up. I highly recommend this product, especially if paired with a similarly advanced router (MU-MIMO).
Set up is a breeze, you can use WPS or you can connect to its built in Wi-Fi to connect it to a network. There are many options on set up but if you have a similarly matched router, the extended pretty much acts like it doesn't exist. By that I mean there will be no extra SSID listing, it is just completely transparent to the user.
It is somewhat bulky so make sure you have some free space around the outlet as it protrudes a few inches from the wall.
This product will extend your Wi-Fi on both 2.4ghz and 5ghz bands and supports features of some of the most advanced routers. A must buy if you are looking for a high end extender.

Worth it
on May 12, 2016
Posted by: psyclopps
from San Diego, CA
I was torn if I should buy this product or the newer version of the Microsoft Band (I had the previous version and loved it). I somehow decided to go with the blaze after seeing it was not as huge as I thought. The product looks much better to me than the Apple Watch in my opinion as its angles are more natural on a wrist.
The interface is somewhat simple and it does very basic smart watch functions, but if you are purchasing a Fitbit product it is likely you are purchasing it for fitness features. For this it is great. You can load it with your most common workouts for tracking purposes. For GPS you need to have your phone with you as it connects to track your stats, but I have my phone with my anyway for music so it is not a huge deal.
The interchangeable bands are nice but they are too pricey if you want anything beyond the basic one. The best feature over other smart watches and more advanced fitness trackers is the five day battery life! This has seemed very accurate to me even with blue-tooth enabled and notifications on.

Amazing (but pricey) router
on May 11, 2016
Posted by: psyclopps
I love this thing. It cost's a pretty penny but there is no better router out there. I have zero problems streaming 4K video while others in the house play games and watch Netflix all at the same time. I decided to finally keep my storage attached to the router as well, as the network speeds are fast enough to transmit files with pretty good ease. My main limitation is my internet connection.
I was surprised how large it is though, it takes up a good amount of space on my desk to be warned. My unit I received had a fault which caused random reboots. I called the tech support people and they offered to replace it very quickly on warranty with little to no hassle. Kudos to them.
Setup is extremely easy and this product it SMART. It can automatically update itself (if enabled). The 2.4ghz and 5ghz networks (x2) can all run simultaneously with the same SSID and the router will prioritize various devices, games or services if enabled. It seems you can only prioritize three through so that is a minor gripe as I would love to prioritize all my devices in order of most important to least.
Parental controls are included and you can set this up by individual device connected through the network once you log into the router. There are also very powerful storage management if you have a device connected to one of the USB ports. There are two USB ports, one USB 3.0 and one USB 2.0. I found this surprising that such a powerful router had a USB 2.0 port, I do not know why they did not put two 3.0 ports on it instead.
Documentation is included on the disk and provides basic information on the router. The indicators on the unit itself are fairly basic and consist of white, blue status bars showing the state of the antennas. There is also a glowing Linksys logo which shows when the device is ready to be used.
Aside from the size of the unit, I really have no gripes about the product other than the fact that it is expensive as earlier stated. But if you have the need for an extremely fast router, make heavy use of your network, want the best connection for gaming, or want to get rid of wires for high speed transfers once and for all, this is the router for you.

7 bucks gets you two cd's full of audio. If there is one big downside, it is that it helped me discover new bands which I felt the need to purchase in their own CD's,
What's great about it: Good cd to discover new bands
What's not so great: Not all songs will appeal to everyone

Game was not tested properly
By skullboy88 from Los Angeles, CA
First of all the reason for such a low rating is that the game is not playable. Right out the box. Now, I have been building pc's for over 10 years and have sunk hundreds of dollars into my rig to play the most demanding games. And I do. The problem is that ID software sent out a game to the public that is not finished. Google, rage graphics problems and you will find a magnitude of arcticles about poor graphics bad drivers and other issues. AMD and Nvidia have been working for a driver patch but reports from many say they do not work to fix the tearing and poor rendering . People are paying $60.00 for a pc game. Dont you think it should work right away without having to wait for a patch?

Horrid Sound
By DELienz from Delaware
I had pair of Sony Headphones that I bought a few years ago for approx. $50 dollars... Sounded Amazing, but I recently ran then over with my car... Anyway bought these assuming the sound would be similar and also compensate for my only complaint with my other heardphones which was falling constantly out of my ear during workouts. Turns out these are more expensive but that sound terrible. Tried changing the setting on my IPOD and there is no overcoming the lack of bass. I am a auidiophile and I do listen to music a lot of double bass and drums so bass is something I must have in a headphone. If that's what you looking for don't buy these. I'm confident cheaper headphones with the same quality sound can be obtained so I would not recommend these to anyone...

Balanced Armature
June 28, 2012
Balanced Armature headphones are designed to sound like the original recording. Most headphones these days are "dynamic armature" which are designed kind of like a hardware equilizer where bass is usually most important. Any of these balanced armature headphones are aimed specifically at audiophiles as they repoduce very true to original sound with detailed mid ranges and highs.

Why is this computer so cheap with all these features?

Good question. The only areas I can see where they skimped out a bit are a bit in the trackpad and battery life. Everything else seems as advertised and it performs very well to match the specs. There is little to no bloatware installed. Lenovo is making some great stuff these days!

Can it read audible audiobook from amazon ?

Unless you have an app that can "cast" audio then the answer is no. Amazon is much more integrated with it's own Echo. I own both and Echo is much better for this task than the Google Home. From what I can tell, Audible apps do no throw audio to other Chromecast devices such as Google Home.

It does let you know if you are paired via bluetooth. As you are using bluetooth, you get the usual limitation of 30 feet or so from your phone.
