Good stuff:
Excellent 4K video quality, even in relatively low light. Good raw (.dng format) image quality, there are some distortions especially towards the edge of the image.
Gimbals works really well, the video is rock steady even in very windy conditions.
The obstacle avoidance sensors are pretty cool, but it's usability is to be debated (can't see smaller objects or wires).
Fly well over 25 min on one battery (best to get a backup battery for any serious work)
Sports mode is freakishly fast!
App is well designed and easy to use.
Cool functions such as follow me or points of interest, as well as click to go.
Cons:
Famously horrendous customer support (had a small ordering issue, tried to call, no answer, tried online chat, the rep just connected and closed my chat window right in front of my eye.)
When doing 4K Video recording, the drone splits file evey 4GB, but it does it so horribly, that when a clip is split, there is a 0.5-1 second delay (thus a good amount of frames lost) If doing 4K, your best bet is use start/stop record button more frequently so the file does not get split during important takes.
Hard to grip the drone if you have smaller hands. (I put some sandpaper tape on the side of the drone to help with gripping)
Hard to take the battery out of the drone for charging. The buttons are not designed well to be able to grip the battery and pull it out. (also put some sandpaper tape on the battery grips and now they are fine)
Almost never reaches advertised flying distance, the signal would lose pretty quickly if not in an open field, despite frantic attempts at adjusting the antenna according to DJI user manual.
In conclusion, it's probably still the best drone money can buy at this price range. So I would still recommend it to anyone who's interested. However for better value with less useless bells and whisles, the DJI Phantom 3 Professional is a real steal at current price ($799)

Awesome headphone for gym/running

They sound great with clear high/mids and even some bass.. I returned the Bose SoundSport (which sounded horrible and doesn't even fit) and got Reflect Mini, and couldn't be happier. They are a perfect fit in my ear right out of the box. They also come with non-tipped ear buds of medium and small size, as well as an extra small ear tip to fit smaller ears.
The only complaint I have is that the non-tipped ear cup that came installed on the right side got deformed inside packaging, and when inserted to the ear it doesn't fit snuggle like the left ear should. But I don't use the non-tipped ear cups so no big deal to me, but it may to you.

Stay energized as you work out with these Bose® SoundSport™ in-ear headphones, which feature TriPort® technology to provide full, balanced sound with deep, true-to-life lows. Proprietary StayHear® tips and a sweat-resistant design ensure they survive and stay comfortably in place during vigorous exercises.

My old headphone quit working and I needed a new one to use in the gym. I purchased the Bose SoundSport based on glowing reviews, but returned it after 15 min of use.
While the ear tip is soft and sticky, none of the 3 sizes fit in my ear property, they all fall out very easily. The sound quality is pretty much average joe, maybe even worse than the headphone that came with my iPhone. Lacks bass and sounded muted/muffed.
I returned it and exchanged it in store for the JBL Reflect Mini for half the price, JBL sound much better with clarity, the fit of the JBL ear tip is also perfect and locks secure and comfortable on my ear.
I own a Bose around-ear noise canceling headphone and the SoundSport is a joke compared to it, quite disappointed.
If you have a chance try before you buy.

Enjoy crisp audio with this Sony SRSX3/BLK portable speaker, which features a rechargeable lithium-ion battery for up to 7 hours of battery life. The NFC (near-field communication) technology enables quick, one-touch pairing of your compatible devices.

Excellent sounding speaker. When compared at local retailer side by side, the X3 definitely sounded better than the Bose soundlink. Bought the X3 and super happy with it.
Sounds great up to about 70% volume, and anything louder will sound distorted, but it is plenty loud at 100%, enough to fill a small-medium sized bedroom.
Contrary to popular belief, the X3 will charge through USB when music is playing, just the charging light won't turn on. This is confirmed in Sony's online help guide.
Also love the fact that it's bigger than the new X33, and the X33 didn't really add anything useful to the table.

Add music to your workout routine with these Monster iSport SuperSlim 128652-00 wireless in-ear headphones, which feature Bluetooth technology to connect with your compatible device. The sweat-resistant earbuds stay in place with SportClip technology.
can these be used for watching tv on the treadmill?
I'm looking for some earbuds than I can get a wireless connection to a TV for volume while on the treadmill. The treadmill is about 12-15 feet away from the TV. Will these work?
You'll need to buy a bluetooth transmitter to plug into the TV and pair this with your transmitter to be able to hear the sound from treadmill TV.
