Know you are getting the closest shave possible with this Panasonic Arc5 shaver. The shaving sensor monitors the density of your beard and adjusts power to the five ultrasharp Nanotech blades. This waterproof Panasonic Arc5 shaver works wet or dry and has a sonic vibration cleaning mode for easy maintenance.

Superb - Best shaver ever
on January 12, 2017
Posted by: GeorgeAlcor

I have been hunting for the right electric shavers for years. I used Phillips Norcelo and then threw it out, when I started getting rashes, switched to Braun 7 series which is ok, but after few months of use, I had to use a razor to redo the neck area the braun series 7 would leave the hair and also my skin was getting rashes. I then switched to the latest Norcelo - 9700 which was touch sensitive but still was not feeling good, when someone at BestBuy suggested Panasonic. I bought this shaver and it is simply superb. This is the best shaver ever and easy to use and clean too.

Crackling sound, static (left) and connection loss
on July 3, 2016
Posted by: GeorgeAlcor

What a shame ... Bose finally managed to screw up its reputation of being the best in the world to releasing a product that is worthless. I loved Bose products - QC 20 and now QC35 which I treasure. But this Soundsport is a disaster. In the first jog on a treadmill, within 30 minutes, I heard static on the left ear and then crackling sound and finally it stopped. I could not connect to the phone or whatever. After 20 minutes, I was able to restart it and again the same problem within 10 minutes. I went to Best Buy and exchanged for another unit. While speaking on the phone for about 10 minutes, it started crackling and dropped the blue tooth connection. The battery at 20% went dead within 2 minutes of talk time. I am now going to return and try a third unit tomorrow since the sound is awesome. Hope Bose will listen, and make drastic improvements. Hope the new one will not have the same two faulty errors. Maybe it is heating up and hence the errors or some software error. Whatever-- Bose technical staff, work out a solution fast !!

Microsoft Surface Pro 3 Tablet: The new Surface Pro 3 is in a category of its own. With a stunning 12" display in a sleek magnesium frame, Surface Pro 3 has all the power and performance of a laptop in an incredibly lightweight, versatile form. It may just be the ultimate device.

This is the first Surface design that meets my expectations for a tablet and a laptop. It is also light weight, the screen is awesome, battery is great and finally the writing on the screen is almost like writing on a book. WOW>

What's great about it: Replaces a laptop and is a fully tablet...Awesome
What's not so great: sometimes fan sound..(about 15% of the time), else silent
I would recommend this to a friend!

Third pair from Best buy - black
July 10, 2016
Hi..This is my third pair in the last two weeks and it works fine when i use it for regular calls. However when i use it for running and about an hour into the run, (probably when I start sweating), I hear static on the left ear. When I stop and use it later within half an hour, it stops. I intend to return this to Best Buy too.
Is there a problem with the shipment of the black color headphones, since I know a friend with the Aqua (blue) color and he has faced no problem. This is my third pair. Will Bose update with a new release or ??

How long should it be charged initially?Is it still needed to charge it longer before initial use for better battery life?

It comes with a 70% charge and you may want to charge it for 1 hour before you get a 100% usage.

Does the warranty is an international warranty?

I guess so. I called Bose and they were willing to exchange a damaged left ear (static sounds)

Two questions: 1. About how far away can you be from the device to which you're connected and still have a good connection signal quality? 2. Some Bluetooth earphones cut out sporadically interrupting music- is the stream consistent?

This cuts out often, and hence the poor review. I have exchanged my second unit and now going to use my third unit.

Are there any other means to charge these earphones than the advertised charging case?

No. You charge through the USB

Is the call clarity good when there is background noise?

Yes. It is great for making phone calls though, the call dropped due to blue tooth connectivity loss after about 10 minutes into the call.

How do you talk on the iphone with these? Do you connect with the wire with mic like the Bose noise cancel ones I already have and does a telephone wire come with them?

This works fine with iPhone. I am using the QC35 with the iPhone and it is simply superb.
