Unfortunately too small for road bike

Too small for my road bike 31.8 handle bars. I guess I need the larger size.

Enjoy up to 8 hours of listening with these Jaybird X3 wireless earphones. Their Bluetooth connectivity syncs with the MySound app to create custom sound profiles, and they're sweat-proof for use during intense workouts. These Jaybird X3 wireless earphones are 34 percent smaller than the previous X2 model for comfort even under a helmet.

Slipped out no matter what ear bud used. And forget about the wings. Trying to figure out which one and in what position they had to go on was a struggle, more then what I'd like to deal with on something that should be pretty simple. Engineering needs to go back to the drawing board on this. Can't comment about the sound because didn't get that far to give an honest opinion. Returned the Freedom a couple of weeks ago for the same fit issues. Today I decided to give these a try and they're going back. Really wanted to like the Jaybirds enough to gave them a try twice.

I'm compelled to write this review because these headset truly deserve it. The sound is crisp, clear and loud unlike any headset I've listened to before. Turn on Dolby and you'll be amazed by the sound quality. Bose, Beats, Sony etc don't even come close in my opinion. If you're looking for a headset, give these a try. If you don't like them, you have 15 days to return them. I'm willing to bet you won't though.

The SoundTouch® 300 soundbar looks slim. But the sound? Anything but. That’s because every cubic inch of it is packed with technologies that make everything you listen to or watch sound clear and spacious. It starts inside with custom-shaped speakers that keep the profile low and pump out big sound. QuietPort™ technology virtually eliminates distortion so you hear surprisingly deep bass. And Bose® PhaseGuide® technology makes you believe you’re hearing sounds where there are no speakers. On the outside, the glass top and perforated wrap-around metal grille make the soundbar look as good in your room as it sounds. And with both Bluetooth® and Wi-Fi® technology built in, you can wirelessly stream music any way you prefer. ADAPTiQ® audio room calibration from Bose ensures the soundbar sounds the best it can in the space you put it. HDMI™ connectivity with 4K pass-through keeps your system compatible with the most current technology. NFC provides quick and easy pairing. The SoundTouch® app gives you simple control over your favorite music. Works together with other SoundTouch® speakers so as you go from room to room, your music goes along with you. Includes a universal remote so you can control your other devices, too. Available in Black

Returned the Vizio Camcast 5.1 soundbar twice because kept getting disconnected. So got the Bose Soundtouch 300 with the rear speakers and minus the subwoofer. What a difference in quality and sound. The rear speakers are must. I thought the Vizio speakers were faint and quiet. The Bose speakers are nice and loud and clear. Only into my third day. So far so good. A little on the pricey side.

Makes all kinds of sounds and noises. Vibrates excessively and can easy go off balance and bounce all over the place. And wrinkles the heck out of your clothes. I've done about five washes already. Clothes do not get submerged under water, reading the manual, looks like this is normal. I didn't like that I had to rearrange the blankets two times so that it would stop going off balance and bouncing. And no I did not over stuff it. Your clothes will come out all twisted and very wrinkled. Expect to spend more time on the ironing board. With my previous machine I could wear my shirts and jeans without ironing them. Not with this one that's for sure. I'm going to see about possibly exchanging it for something else.

4 out of 5CAN'T LIFT LID, NO SOFTENER SPOT
By 4Home
This was a great deal for under $500, but there isn't a place for fabric softener. I don't like that the lid locks. This weekend was washing pillows and it got unbalanced and starting jumping around, but because it was during the spin cycle when the lid was locked it just banged against the dryer. Don't like that once you open the lid it stops filling. I want to see the water level and add soap when water is coming out so it will mix.
On a positive, I like being able to wash comforters.

Yeah, it jumps!
March 11, 2017
First day with this washer. I loaded it up with blankets and sheets but not stuffed. During the spin cycle this thing jumped and banged. Being on the second floor, and not to disturbed my neighbors downstairs I jumped to pause it. Opened the lid and rearranged the clothes. Closed the lid and it just didn't start to spin, instead it added some more water and went through another rinse cycle. It was another 10 minutes or so before it went to spinning. Again jumped and banged and agin Had to pause it and rearranged the clothes. And again it added more water and went through another rinse cycle before spinning and again it jumped and banged. Paused it again. Took three tries, something I will keep an eye on. If it's something that it's going to keep on happening, it's going back.

I just purchased the Bose SoundTouch 300 and Acoustimass 300 this weekend to upgrade my home theater system. Up front, I will tell you that I am very happy with the sound quality of both items when they are paired. I am a Bose fan and have been for years owning numerous Bose products. Set up was fairly straightforward. I have an older Samsung LED TV and was upgrading from one of those all in one Samsung home theater units with a built-in Blu-Ray player. I don’t use DVD anymore. I have Apple TV for my movies and streaming from my Apple products as needed. My original concern was the lack of inputs on the back of the sound bar itself. Basically, you have one HDMI connection and one optical digital connection and that is it. I ran my Direct TV connection to the back of my TV with HDMI and the same for the Apple TV and then used the optical digital connection output from the TV to the sound bar. My older (six-year-old) TV acts like a switch for the audio with me plugging in up to four devices via HDMI. I could probably plug older things like RCA jacks too if I wanted. My TV has the optical digital output which goes into the SoundTouch. One cable provides sound for all of my devices so I do not see the lack of inputs on the back of the sound bar as an issue like others have complained about.
Calibrating the system was pretty simple. You plug in the headphone looking thing (ADAPTiQ headset) and follow the commands once you press the right buttons on the included universal remote. Speaking of the remote, it is said to be universal but I could not get my TV to work or my Direct TV box to work so I went back to my trusty Logitech Harmony One which works like a champ. Zero issues there.
Pairing the Acoustimass 300 was pretty easy, again, you do what the simple instructions tell you to do and that is it. What the instructions do not tell you is how to turn up the volume on the subwoofer. I had to call Bose to get that information.
My current set-up is the sound bar and subwoofer and to me, it sounds amazing. I did increase the subwoofer volume two settings just because I wanted to see what it would do and I am impressed. We watched the TV show The Voice last night and the musical performances sounded great to me. Especially with that thumping base.
Bose has an application for the iPhone and Android devices but (to me) is not that great. First of all, the sound bar has the ability to play music (once set up) straight from the application using services like Spotify. Pretty cool if you use them but I have playlists on my iPhone that I would prefer to play. You can do this but you have to go through the app on your phone to do this. That isn’t a big deal but what is a big deal when I want to go back and watch TV, I have to get the SoundTouch remote and physically press the TV button to change the output on the sound bar. That is a bit of a pain to do. My solution for that is to just use my Apple TV since that is using the TV output anyway. One less reason to use the remote. If Bose would include the ability to change the output or do the output automatically, that would be a huge gain for people like myself that are not using the remote. It seems like an extra step anyway. The sound bar has NFC in it but I didn’t see any instructions on how to make this work so I will have to take Bose’s word that it works.
One more mention about the application is that if you have the Virtually Invisible 300 rear speakers, a new update to the sound bar and application allow you to change the volume of these rear speakers. That is pretty cool since the initial reports I have read said that the volume was low on these units. Since this upgrade has come out, I am now planning to add these rear channel speakers to my system. What the application will not allow you to do is change the volume/output of the subwoofer which is odd to me. The only way to change the output of the subwoofer is using the universal remote which again, I am not using. In a perfect world, the iPhone app would take care of everything for me where I could control output of the sound bar and adjust the subwoofer.
I mentioned above that I called Bose for information on the Acoustimass 300. I had read on another site that the pair light on the far right of the lights was supposed to be lit when the unit was paired. Bose informed me that these lights would turn on when the unit was turned on to pair the units and then go away. It would be nice if there was documentation on what the lights mean because they turn different colors, flash, and stay on depending on what you are doing. When the pair light goes off, the Acoustimass 300 is paired if the light on the bottom of the subwoofer is white and not flashing. Who knew?
The bottom line here is this. Would I recommend this sound bar? Absolutely. I love everything about it. My system sounds great and looks great too. I plan to add the rear channel speakers soon since I can adjust the volume for these units now using the iPhone app. I wish the iPhone application would allow me to change the output of the sound or the unit would automatically change depending on what it was receiving. I also wish that I could change the volume of the subwoofer through the application like you can the rear channel speakers. These are minor things and I have work arounds for them both.
I hope that this review helps you with your decision to either purchase or not purchase the Bose SoundTouch 300 and its components.

Yes to the rear speakers!
April 3, 2017
If you haven't gotten the rear speakers yet, do so. They make a whirl of a difference. I elected not to go with the subwoofer because I have neighbors below. But went with the speakers and don't regret it one bit. Last night I was watching the Country Music Awards and could hear the audience and back ground sounds very clear.

nut comes undone off of the drum?
my machine is still under warranty ,but the nut keeps coming undone on the bottom of the drum. had repairman fix once, I fixed again as I did not want to lose a days pay waiting for the repairman to do a 2 min fix. Is this a continued problem, as I can tell when I falls off as the drum scraps against the plastic guard and makes one heck of a racket. Any solutions.
Maybe put some loc tight on it.

if i miss putting the fabric softener in before the rinse cycle is there any way to go back?
Probably not. The softner is added during the final rinse.
