The second my package arrived I immediately paired them to my iPhone 6s Plus and started testing them out. The Stay Hear+ ear tips are surprisingly comfortable and feel secure. The neck band, something I really expected to bug me after a few minutes was also surprisingly comfortable. You almost forget that you're wearing a neck band thanks to its lightweight. The sound is what I expect from Bose (I have an older pair of wired earbuds and an older non-noise canceling banded headphone) with the added benefit of some noise canceling. You can adjust just how much noise canceling occurs either by using the switch on the headphones directly or by controlling it by using the Bose Connect App. At the highest setting it doesn't completely block out all sound but it does muffle it to the point that you can't make out what is being said...and virtually can't hear someone speaking to you or discern the background noise around you (I tested with the television turned up relatively loudly). This is very impressive considering these are earbuds.
When testing with phone calls I was able to hear the caller clearly and each caller was able to hear me without knowing that I was using headphones to conduct the call. I was able to continue my phone call (and listen to music) while walking a decent distance away from my handset (I left it sitting on the living room table and was able to hear clearly and be heard without interruption 2 rooms away. Sorry I don't know what the measurement of the distance was but I was no able to see the phone and it still worked even with the bedroom door closed). I was impressed by this because it can come in handy when doing tasks like cooking dinner or cleaning up...or working out in my home gym area. My final test will be tonight at a high school football game just to really test the degree of noise canceling it van handle in that type of crowd....especially with phone calls since I often get calls throughout the game from parents that couldn't make it on time but want to know how things are going. I usually avoid answering and just text an update back since it's nearly impossible to hear a caller in that crowd and shouting a response just seems rude.
Overall, I would definitely recommend trying these out. The sound quality you expect from Bose is present along with the convenience of a wireless connection and noise-canceling technology. The only thing I can't really comment on so far is the battery life. It was at 70 percent when I received it and after about 4 hours of testing it was still at 62 percent.

With a house full of teenagers and all of their gadgets that love to use our internet connection (video games, smartphones, tablets, laptops) it's easy to imagine how taxed our service often is. I was pleasantly surprised by how well this handled multiple gadgets going at the same time while also streaming Netflix from our family room tv.

I spent the weekend testing this out and was surprised by how well it worked. The GPS was accurate with only one incorrect guidance (due to construction occurring in that area within the last few weeks). Set up of the actual device in the car was easy, but I found that using the Crescent Beanbag Dash Pad (a separate accessory) was a more secure option on my dash than just relying on the included arm. The fact that this also doubles as a tablet is an added bonus. Bluetooth works well.

Started using this as soon as it arrived. First thing I noticed was that it allowed me to charge my iPhone 6s Plus without removing its case thanks to the adjustable connector (a dial behind the dock allows you to lift the connector high enough to dock your iPhone in case, and then you use the dial to lower everything so the iPhone and rest on the dock easily without issue). This has always been an issue for docking stations for me unless you use the Apple case that leaves the majority of the bottom of the phone open or unless you want to remove your case every time you use one.
Being able to charge both your iPhone and Apple Watch at the same time is a convenient plus to this but I think those without an Apple Watch could still benefit...especially if they might get one in the future.
Only negative I see in this is that it's a little bulky and heavy...but it's not something you would travel with most likely so it's not a big deal. It seems sturdy and that's more important.

I had never tried any Acer products so I wasn't sure what to expect. I was pleasantly surprised by how well it worked considering the retail price is much cheaper than other well known brands. It handles Internet use and gaming well with a decent battery life. The camera is adequate (although my cellphone takes better pictures). The housing feels a little cheap but I haven't had any trouble with it. The screen is responsive as expected. If you're looking for something with a more high end feel this won't be for you but it's definitely not a product to ignore.

I didn't know what to expect when I received this. I assumed it would be like every other router I used...something that works well enough handle my needs but nothing extraordinary. I was so surprised to see that this router worked better than I could anticipate. It handled multiple devices running at the same time with easy...without sacrificing speed to any device. At one point we were streaming video from our TV, had 4 smartphones being actively used, and 2 laptops running...all at the same time. Absolutely worth having if you run several devices at the same time.

This is the first time I've ever purchased AppleCare but I felt inclined to do so when I got my new iPhone 6s Plus after having issues with my 6 Plus a little over a month ago. Luckily I was still under my 1 year warranty (it was expiring in January) so it was replaced for free but if the issue had occurred just a month later I would have had to pay $325 to Apple for an out of warranty replacement! While at Apple I saw several people with issues that were out of warranty and had no coverage so seeing the prices they were going to have to pay was a wake up call. At the time I wasn't sure if I was going to upgrade any time soon but I told myself when I did I would definitely get coverage just in case. I had been lucky all of these years but it's a false sense of security when an unexpected incident occurs and you're not prepared to pay a lump sum. I really like that this not only extends the regular warranty for 2 years but it also covers accidental damage. I'm generally careful with my devices and have only had one damaged due to a car accident so I never felt the need for insurance. After much research I felt like AppleCare+ was a great option to choose just in case versus carrier plans with a lower deductible and the confidence in being able to deal with Apple directly.

I was pleasantly surprised and impressed by how well this vacuum worked on both my hard wood floors and my carpet. This little gadget did quality cleaning on just the standard suction setting and was even more outstanding when using the turbo suction. I really didn't expect such great results from a robot vacuum but I am now completely sold on how great it really is.
The only negative I can see so far is the amount of space needed for the docking station set up (you need so much space on both sides of the station for proper use). For those with smaller homes or not a lot of free floor space this will be a problem. You could of course opt not to use the docking station and just have the vacuum set to clean for a certain amount of time, but that takes away from the features that the docking station gives you.
I think the risk existed more in the past (especially on LCD monitors), but I think that it's pretty rare. Plasma's were more prone to it, but I think they are better now. They still run a risk but it's not as easy as it once was.
