This is more than just a speaker - it's a journey. Starting from the very basic elements of sound and speakers, your children will build a deeper understanding as they move toward assembling their Speaker Cube. At every step, exploration is encouraged and curiosity is rewarded.

My daughter loved building this
on June 20, 2017
Posted by: pMurphy
My daughter is 8 and she loved putting this together. The instructions and directions were great to follow. She loved learning how the speaker worked and being able to adjust the sound and color along the way. My only complaint is that it has to be plugged in to the wall to work. I wish she could charge it and move it around the house and not have to be tied to the power outlet in the wall. Otherwise this was a great speaker with lots of STEM studies built in.

My kids love them
on June 3, 2017

So the are great for kids. Love how they fold and the kids love having the volume adjustment on the dial of the earpiece. So they can just turn it up or down very easily. Great fit for kids 8 and under.

Awesome sound

Love it. The bass is great even outdoors. Super easy to connect to my iPhone. Sound is amazing. I like the ring they have on it so you can hook it on something.

Great speed as advertised
on February 19, 2017
Posted by: pMurphy
Easy set up. Fast speeds. I actually like having the set up through the app. It was very comparable to the Netgear Orbi for speeds. I was very impressed with the network and how easily my devices connected. It worked in all corners of my house which had been a problem before I installed this device.

Wow- great image and great battery life
on January 19, 2017

Setup: 4/5
Set up was SUPER easy.... just followed the steps in the mobile app and I was up and running very quickly. Once the main unit was connected to my home network, it was super easy adding the cameras. My only complaint is right after everything was connected the cameras and base station needed firmware updates. Which is fine, but I kept clicking update, and I could never tell if it updated. It took me a while to get the cameras to finally get up and running. Not sure how to correct that but it was a little annoying at set up. Not much feedback on the app telling me if it was working or not. So this was the only hiccup in the set up.

Features: 5/5
The day and night views are very crisp and clear. The sounds is great. I can speak through the app and it is transmitted to the camera, comes through very nicely to the end user. In the app you can set up different modes, like having only one camera on for motion for instance. Very cool to be able to customize which one is set for motion instead of it being both or none.

Performance: 4/5
This is really more related to the app itself than the cameras. When you open the app, you see a small still photo of each camera (the last time you viewed live data is the still photo you see). When you click "live" to make it current, it can take almost 10-15 seconds to sync and actually show you the live feed. That is slow connection compared to other cameras I have tried. It would be great if the still image would update on it's own and grab a more live photo. The recording feature is great, you can manually choose to record, or grab a still photo at any time. And if you have it set to alert on motion, it captures video at that time automatically too. You can control how much time the video will record for a motion event.

Love the canister style

Love being able to remove the canister from the base while using it. Great for getting under small places like couches and tables. Lighter and easier to use than my other vacuums.

Great phones, wish it came with carrying case
on December 7, 2016
Posted by: pMurphy
Pros:
- Great fit
- Great sound
- Love the extra ear pieces to make it fit just about anyone (I tried with my kids, and their ears are just small enough it was hard for them to wear) but any other user should have no problem customizing the fit.

Cons...
- wish it came with a carrying case to store them and the charging cable when not in use.

Love the size. I feel like I can get more teeth cleaned in less time. I can totally feel a difference using these compared to the smaller single round type of my previous oral B ones.

Powerful with options
on November 15, 2016
Posted by: pMurphy
So I have had several Oral B toothbrushes over the years, and this one compares very nicely to them. It has several settings so you can get it right where you like it. Even on the lowest setting it is still very strong. I totally feel that my mouth and teeth are clean after using this brush. It has a nice weight when holding it. One area I was a little concerned with when I opened it up out of the box, was it seemed hard to put the brush head on. ON the Oral B, they just slip right on. On this one you have to push it all the way down with some force to get it to snap in place. This is probably a good thing, so it doesn't come off, but I was afraid I was pushing too hard at first. So be prepared to push fairly hard to get the head to go on. The travel case is really nice, and the added brush head covers are nice too, so you feel like the heads are staying clean when not being used. Overall very happy with the toothbrush.

Love how it connects my google accounts
on October 24, 2016
Posted by: pMurphy
So the obvious positive is it connects all my google accounts super easily. Love that. I have used iphones and apple products my entire life so I am more familiar with Apple iOS then Android. So there is a bit of a learning curve with regards to Android. I have enjoyed being able to customize my screens and icon placements better.
The device is lighter than my iphone 6s plus and just slightly smaller in overall size. Screen looks great. Pictures and videos are amazing.
one drawback I have so far (and this could just be still learning how to use it correctly) is I am not able to send photos and videos as easily on this device as I was on my iphone. It seems if I I try to send a photo or video in a message it just sends a link and the end user as to view in my photos folder. Not all videos and photos are going through to my recipients via email or messages. So I am still learning the best way to share with others. That is a bit frustrating.
Overall I really like the phone. Batter life seems great. Spend the weekend at Disney and had great battery life. Easily connected to wifi signals.
Another thing to know, I got the 32GB version but the system software takes up 5.39 GB. So that already limits how many other apps and photos and videos I can have on the phone.
I like the fingerprint sensor on the back. It is comfortable and easy to use in that position.

Is this keyboard backlit at all?
No there is not any backlight. So working in low light levels would not be ideal for this keyboard.
