I wanted an external mic for my camera so I could get better sound at concerts & other events, unfortunately I will never know that sound because my camera doesn’t have a mic jack. That being said we tried this on an iPhone & also used with garage band on an iPad. This comes in a very nice case with all the cables you need for iPhone, Android, headphone jack. It is lightweight, set up was easy. It comes with adapters for tripod & camera but you have to take it apart a bit to convert to those. The reason for the three stars is because I recorded live music & even with the volume turned to max, it wasn’t very loud at all. When played back through an external Bose speaker it still wasn’t loud. I expected more & was disappointed. The lavalier mic was good because it doesn’t pick up other noise around the room but that’s about all the good I could find. While using the iPad the sound was ok but I was talking right into the mic not wearing it. For the price I think I’d shop around a bit .

I always think the quality of the box indicates the quality of the item. Once again Bose doesn’t disappoint. This arrived in a very sturdy box, with the speaker wrapped in a cloth bag. Set up was very easy just attach power cord & it was ready to go. I didn’t know it was on & it was so loud when it came on that I jumped! The volume was only at half way. You need the Bose Music app & Amazon Alexa app to connect your devices & sync your accounts. This was the hardest part for me since I forgot most of my passwords. I was able to login into iheart radio & play my music from there. I also connected my iPod through Bluetooth. I wasn’t able to sync Sirius radio with it & I don’t have an Amazon music account. You can also link Spotify, Pandora & there is a Tunein service which you don’t need an account for. Any kindle books purchased also appear on the app. I am new to Alexa so it was fun to ask her to play a song & also the current weather. The speaker itself was amazing, color screen for iheart radio & simple operation with controls on top for speaking, volume, play/ pause, aux & Bluetooth. It sounds incredible & like I said before I very loud even at half volume. Very pleased with this & it looks nice too!

I needed virus protection for my laptop since the trial was expiring. Bitdefender offered 3 device protection for my Windows 10 PC at what I think is a reasonable price. I have only installed it on a laptop since all my other devices are Apple. You can use this on Android devices. Based on what I’ve seen so far, I’m pretty pleased with this, installation was super easy, it offers quick scan, easy access through desktop icon where you can update, manage protection features& privacy features including webcam protection & parental controls. It also suggests critical updates needed for Windows. I’ve also had virus protection in the past where there was a lot of annoying pop ups or the firewall blocked certain things. I haven’t noticed any of those things yet. Overall a good deal.

The packaging was impressive right out of the box, sturdy & individual boxes for everything. We received a very nice travel bag with it which looks like a camera bag. As far as the drone, it is very sturdy, having crashed it a few times, it held up well. Set up was easy and its easy to use. I flew it in the daylight & was impressed at how quickly it takes off & also how high it goes, it was a fairly windy day & it didn't affect the flight at all. I took video & a few pictures which you can take right on the controller, I also downloaded the app & took video & pictures with that too. I recommend the app because you can watch where you are flying & it also warns you when objects are close by. You do have to have a USB connected to your phone & the controller so I suggest a short cable. I used an iPhone 8 & it fit in the holder with the case on, iPhone 8+ only fit without the case. You can also connect an iPad. It was a cloudy day so the pictures were ok, I also flew it at dusk & the pictures were as expected, just ok. I love quality camera pics so I'm not big on cell phone pics, so I'd have to say the quality of these pics just didn't do it for me. I will try on a sunny day to see if they're any better, this would be great for sunsets. You can use a mini sd card but I wasn't able to save the video or photos to my phone which I would've liked to do. The gimbel is adjustable. The battery charges pretty quickly & the box says flying time is 30 minutes, I'd say more like 20. The controller has a very bright OLED screen.This is very enjoyable to play with, I can't wait to use it more & find out all it can do.

We wanted to separate our signal so decided to get this for our detached garage with rec room. The antenna was a lot larger than expected & comes with a stand for indoor use, nicer looking than most antennas . We tried it outside but on the ground since we didn’t get a chance to mount it up higher, I believe the signal will improve if we do. We were unable to get ABC or any low vhf channels at all so amplifier would be needed. Our current antenna pulls in a lot more channels than this one did. The picture was very clear & didn’t freeze at all. I’m giving it 3 stars because it’s not a bad antenna , It just didn’t work well for us.

This is a nice concept, you don’t need a charging cable to charge your phone, you just place the phone on the pad & it charges. The pad is small, it looks like a lid to a dish & comes with an adapter. There is a small led light that indicates charging & goes out when finished. It comes in 4 colors & is for iPhone 8, 8 plus, 10 & also Galaxy S8, S8+ * Galaxy Note 8. You can charge right through a case up to 3 mm thick. This was very easy to set up but I have an iPhone 8 with a very thin case & it charged so slowly, I took the case off & it wasn’t any better, I also had to move the phone around a bit because sometimes it lost connection if it wasn’t sitting exactly right on the pad. We then tried iPhone 8 Plus with an otter box case, charging was still slow but was better with the larger phone since it covered the pad. I would recommend it if you have the extra time to charge it because it’s portable, compact & no need for cables.

Better than expected

Posted by: 30stmrox

I had not heard of this brand so I was a little unsure of how they’d sound but I must say I am impressed . They are quite loud with just the right amount of treble & bass. They also have a very sturdy case that you can charge with a usb cable & then connect your headphones & charge them in the case & take them with you. Each earbud has its own cable in the case for charging. They have individual controls for volume on each earbud & they’re easy to reach. Different sizes of inserts are included for fit, I used the ones that were in it & they fit fine, didn’t fall out & I have small ears. They are sweat & water resistant & you can quick charge for 10 min.. for one hour of music or for full power charge for one hour. I didn’t try Siri or Google assist or talk on the phone features yet. They are truly wireless & seem sturdy but that adds to them also being a bit bulky. What I didn’t like is there weren’t any instructions, none at all on how to connect, I didn’t find an app so I just pushed & held power button & then could pair it with my iPod , pairing was a bit tough because as one connected the other one disconnected, after several try’s I finally got both paired. You also have to be near your device because the range isn’t that great, you start to break up & lose connection if you’re not close by. The pros outweigh the cons though, so I’d recommend them.

Not impressed for the price
on May 26, 2018
Posted by: 30stmrox
from Philadelphia, PA
I thought I would like to have a pair of wireless headphones for use with my iPod when walking but I’m not impressed by the sound of these at all, no matter what setting I had them on they still had a very tin sound, I don’t know where the extra bass was that’s advertised. Also they are not completely wireless, they are connected together with a wire which hangs either around your chin or the back of your neck, there is volume, play, fast forward, rewind control on the wire but you have to take them off or memorize where the controls are because you can’t see them. You need the headphones app to change settings & would be best to control the headphones with. Noise cancelling wasn’t really good either because I could still hear everything going on around me. They are waterproof & charge with a usb cable, sound is pretty loud and you get about 6 hrs playback time. Can be used with iPhone, iPod or android & hands free calling, google assist. USB cable is included as well as a few different sizes of silicone ear buds to fit all sizes. Set up & connection was easy but as far as sound goes, I’ll stick to my wired headphones.

Amazing sound in a small package
on May 1, 2018
Posted by: 30stmrox
from Philadelphia, PA
What an amazing sound comes out of this small speaker , very compact in size, weighs about 15 lbs. has a handle for easy carrying & sits in multi positions so you can use it many ways, as a monitor, tilted back, on a stand, practice amp, there is a rubber pad around most of it so it doesn’t get scratched & stays where you put it. We tried using it many ways & the sound was incredible & really projects. We played acoustic & electric guitars through it & also sang through a microphone with clear sound and minimal feedback, only feedback was when the mic was directly in front of it. It also has Bluetooth so you can play a song on your device & also sing or play along with it. Connection to Bluetooth was easy. There are 2 inputs for mics, with separate controls for each for volume, bass, treble & reverb. A tonematch switch so you can go from mic to guitar for better sound. An auxiliary jack with volume control, a line out jack & a small service USB port. The lithium ion battery was included with my system but I see it’s not always included and costs about $100 if bought separately. Battery life is about 6 hours. Also comes with A/C power cord. The owners manual is about 4 pages long with one line in 20 languages on each page, you have to go online to view the manual which wasn’t available. As all Bose products are quite easy to set up & connect you really don’t need a manual but sometimes they’re just nice to have around just in case. This is a great, compact PA system which can go anywhere & sounds awesome, highly recommended!

Basic everyday printer
on March 26, 2018
Posted by: 30stmrox
from Philadelphia, PA
I got this as backup in case my older Envy 5530 printer would start having issues. I absolutely love the 5530. This printer was nothing like my old Envy. The display was not in color, the screen was so small & light in color that I could hardly see it. No extra features to print forms or other printables and no memory card slot. There are settings for different paper sizes & types but printing must be done through the HP smart app, which I find only works sometimes. The ink cartridges were a bit hard to put it. Instant ink is available for this printer too & I already subscribe to it, I recommend it as the ink is mailed to your door at a low monthly cost depending how much you print. The paper tray kept jamming when I closed it. .Everday paper prints were good & printed pretty quick. Photos were ok. If you’re looking for just a basic printer then this should be fine but I’d recommend paying a little more & getting a better model with more features.

This router is huge, almost too big , it looks impressive with all the antennas & lights but so far I'm not impressed at all. It was very hard to setup, I had to call support & there is no DSL port on the back so I had to keep my old modem/router connected to it which defeats its purpose. There are 2 separate wifi bands to connect to which is nice but I haven't seen any improvement in the speed or connectivity than my small router. Plus it runs very hot! I'll give it a few more days before I disconnect it & go back to my small router.

Still not imoressed
June 28, 2016
I am commenting under my regular Best Buy name since I'm unable to get in under the original comment name . This is in reply to the 2 comments I received. I only had a day to try the router out when I had to post a review since then I can still say I'm not impressed , we run a lot of devices on wifi & I still notice no difference. I realize it's not a modem & as stated in my earlier review I said I had a modem & was hoping that I would no longer need it with a device of this size. I still cannot connect to the app, my router password will not work on the app but works on everything else . This was hard to set up I spent 25 min. on the phone with a tech , I can set pretty much every device up but this was impossible. This is a very expensive router with not much to offer so I still stand by my one star rating.
