Sound quality is good, earpads weren't comfortable

The packaging, accessories, and carrying case are quite nice and the sound was good - very clear if light on bass. They look nice, and the color scheme (I have blue camo) was a nice change from the too common black or fluorescent colors.
They worked well with my cell phone (Google pixel) and sounded nice for movies and gaming - again, good sound but seemed to be missing the bottom register. All in all, these are good set, and if you are looking for the 'surround' feeling that you'd expect from 7.1, and don't mind the lack of bass, then this might be the set for you.
The four stars are because the headphones themselves were a bit small for me and the foam mesh ear pads were sort of 'rough' feeling - also didn't care for the detachable microphone - it worked fine, but is an important thing to potentially misplace.
I will probably spend more time with my current (Razer Kraken Pro) head phones - which are pretty awesome - and use this set as a loner or for trips. I'd recommend these to someone who had a smaller head than I.

Works well, easy to clean, odd size to store

We really enjoy grilling outdoors, but sometimes weather doesn't permit. This indoor grill works well; heats up quickly and cooks evenly. It cleans up nicely, however, it doesn't fit well in our cupboards. I'd recommend measuring your storage cupboard space carefully before purchasing.

They fit comfortably, stay put, and sound great!

The packaging was easy to open and sturdy enough to use for storage in a gym bag.
The sound quality is what you would expect from JBL - excellent. Straight out of the box and without adjusting outputs on my phone or tablet, these were neither too bassy, nor too trebley. I was very pleased.
I have used a ton of headsets/phones through the years and numerous earbuds. I use earbuds exclusively when working out and these, after experimenting with the different sized rubber attachments, fit well without being too snug or tight. I have used these for a week without them slipping, loosening, or falling out.
The cord is a good length and falls just at or below my shirt collar. I can wear the cord behind or in front of the neck without any inconvenience or issues with the cord catching and pulling the buds loose.
Reception from my phone or tablet is good up to about 20 feet, which is more than adequate for use in the gym or on the run.
I really like these alot.

Customizable and comfortable fit, and clear sound.

After charging fully using the included USB cable (about 2 hours out of the box), I was able to connect easily to my smartphone using the audio prompts in the set (yes, the headphones speak to you).
The buttons were a little hard to work with, but once I got the feel for where they were at, it was a snap. The sound quality is good for in-the-ear buds, but lacking the bass I had hoped for.

They stayed firmly in place during a half hour on the treadmill, which is a plus, and didn't get annoying as earbuds sometimes do.
All in all, I'd recommend these for anyone looking for a light, comfortable set of earbuds to use with their phone on a jog or doing chores around the house.

Easy setup, good coverage, small profile.

The packaging was easy to open, the setup was clear and took about 10-15 minutes. These provide coverage throughout our house and into the driveway, yard, and the garage. We had used a similar system from Linksys, and this works as well if not better. I'd say if you have dead spots in your house or want to extend a strong signal to your patio, deck, or other external area, this is a very nice option.

Very easy to set up and use - awesome picture
on June 20, 2017
Posted by: RacineTechie
from Racine, WI
The un-packaging was easy to manage and the rest was literally plug and play. The menus and controls were super intuitive and we were enjoying the projector within minutes of opening. remote, power cord, manual, batteries, etc. were included - no HDMI cable, but that was no problem as we already had one.
The menus and picture adjustment controls were simple and we found the defaults to work almost perfectly. The unit runs quiet and although larger in form factor than our old projector, was neither too big nor too heavy. Sound was quite nice using our existing 5.1 receiver system.
Cycling through the inputs and picture qualities as well as trying it using a BR player, direct cable input, and a computer, I could find no issues - it just simply worked great.
We set it up in our living room and were operating at 104" screen size at about 8 feet from our couch using defaults (projector was roughly 10 feet from the far wall and only minor adjustment to keystone and focus was needed from default.
The unit was only moderately warm after an hour or so of testing it out and seemed to cool quickly. One side was a bit warmer than the other, but nothing to concern me. I have to say again, it runs really quietly.
We are looking forward to re-watching some of our old favorites on this unit soon. I am very happy with this projector.

Wow. Very impressed with the quality and sound.

Great sound, easy to operate controls, synced to all of my devices without a hitch. The phone call feature tested out fine and the ear phones cancel out background noise very well.
The headphones are very comfortable, light to wear, and very well made in general.
I'm looking at getting another couple pairs as gifts for family; I'd highly recommend these to others.

By far the Best Bluetooth speaker I've used

Nice size for travel, great sound, battery was good (out of box) for 10 hours and recharge was quick. Sound wasn't tinny, it was full with good bass.
A little too big to hook on to clothing but OK for a belt or loop of carpenter pants.
I'll probably pick up another one in a few weeks so that we have one at the house and one in the car.

Add stability to your home network with the Amped Wireless HELIOS-EX Wi-Fi Extender. With DirectLink technology, it avoids signal loss by adding another 5GHz Wi-Fi channel to the standard setup, which it then uses strictly for receiving signal from the source. This Amped Wireless HELIOS-EX Wi-Fi Extender covers an area of up to 12,000 sq. ft. and includes four Gigabit network ports.

The extender is a nice size and blends in nicely if you have dark wood or black furniture.
The setup was quick and the instructions were easy to follow.
We have had intermittent low signal in a couple areas of the house, namely the deck and the garage. After placing the extender in a corner of the house that abuts the wall of the garage and the outer wall by the deck, our signal was a solid 5 bars.

The Polk Bit charged quickly and I had no trouble at all connecting with my phone. The sound is a bit tinny when playing music, but is fine for spoken word, podcasts, etc.

Do the sides of the toaster get hot to the touch when in use??
Not that we noticed, but we only make 4 slices at breakfast and don't go for dark/burnt toast.
I expect if you like your toast dark and are making a lot of it, it may get a bit warm, fortunately, stainless tends to shed heat fairly quickly anyway.
