Solid smartphone option
on October 20, 2016
Posted by: KaeL

I'm an iPhone user and have been for years so I was a little skeptical about trying this phone out but of course I wasn't going to let the opportunity pass. Activation was easy (just popped my SIM card from my iPhone 6s Plus in). I had to sign in to my google account (as with the iPhone you sign in with your Apple ID). It was a little slow with downloading 11 things (not sure what those things were as google did that on its own) but it happened in the background and didn't interfere with me using the phone while it happened. It did cause it to run got pretty fast but it wasn't anything that made it impossible to hold the phone or anything. Setting up the fingerprint scanner was simple but I was surprised that it didn't want to do more detailed scans like the iPhone does. It's not a bad thing but that may be why they give a disclaimer on the screen that the fingerprint option may not be as secure as a strong password. Getting used to the Android operating system can be a little difficult if you haven't had any experience with it but that can be true with anything. The Google assistant works well and has a feature similar to "Hey Siri" so you can activate it without picking up the phone. It's a feature I use on the iPhone often so it's definitely something I appreciate on this device. The camera works well but I feel like the iPhone 6s Plus camera works a little better overall (although the pixel seems to win a tad bit more in lower light with the main camera). Overall it's a solid performing phone from what I can tell with the short time I've had it. How well it performs in the long run is hard to say since it's new but for now I would recommend it to those that prefer Android to iOS. I would have probably enjoyed this more if it were the XL version because the size would be more comparable to my 6s Plus but that's the only real negative I have.

I was completely shocked by how much I instantly loved these headphones. I am by no means an audiophile so I won't pretend to know if these meet some level of quality that true audiophiles will require. But I am someone that listens to music daily and know what a great sounding headphone should be. These continue to meet my expectation for headphones that come from Bose. There was no shock there. What did shock me was how comfortable they were to wear even with the band resting on my neck (I barely noticed it there and I'm not a fan of having something on my neck like that). The earbuds themselves were surprisingly comfortable despite the size...and the design made them securely stay in place without feeling like I was wearing something that had to be shoved deep into my ear. I was able to walk a decent distance from my connected device (my iPhone and my MacBook Pro) without losing connection or sound quality. I did not experience any breaking up as mentioned by another reviewer. Battery life if exceptional. And the noise canceling is great. Although these don't 100% block out the background noise they do mute it to an almost indistinguishable noise level when the feature is turned to it's highest level. It's also excellent at using for phone calls. I was able to have a conversation while at a very loud and crowded high school football game where the caller was able to hear me clearly in spite of the noise level around me.
Ultimately I would definitely recommend these to anyone that wants a quality wireless earbud style headphone that offers the perk of acoustic noise canceling. Definitely a comfortable high quality headphone.

Great wireless option!

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.

Great option!

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.

Great charging option
on August 23, 2016
Posted by: KaeL
from Georgia
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.

Great for the money

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.

Used this in a multi level home that sometimes had dead spots when it came to wifi. This helped eliminate that problem easily. Definitely recommend this to those that don't want to buy a new router but need a little more coverage.

If you have a tech heavy house like I do (2 teenage boys with a ton of gadgets plus my own) then this is definitely the router for you. It was able to handle at least 8 gadgets at once with no slow down or delays. Works great in a multi level home.

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.

Customize your 11-inch iPad Pro with this graphite Logitech Folio Pro keyboard case. The backlit keyboard ensures easy typing in dimly lit environments, while the magnetic latch provides a secure closure to help prevent damage from daily impact. This Logitech Folio Pro keyboard case has a slim, lightweight profile for portability, and Bluetooth connectivity provides a truly wireless experience.
Your answer to a previous question said the camera opening is only for one lens. Since this is the new model for the 2020 iPad Pro, why wouldn't it have an opening for all of them? How is this new keyboard model different than last years that on clearance
This version does have the bigger square cutout for the camera on the newer iPad versus the one that was on clearance.

It comes pre-installed with a SIM card but can be used on other carriers. Even the one I received stated it would only accept Verizon SIM cards but I tested it with both my Verizon sim and a friend tried her AT&T SIM card in it. Worked with both fine.

there are little blue dots all over my screen on my sony lcd tv and a corner of the screen is solid blue
Perhaps it's bad pixels...if you are under warranty or have Best Buy's extended warranty then you may want to file a claim.

why cant i order a tv online
whenever i checkout it wont said delevery is not available. but that happens with every tv
It's possible that the tv's you are chosing are not in stock. Did you make sure that it was not somehow on the pick-up option and the store chosen was out of stock?
