These wireless headphones are good but definitely not great. Sometimes the sound quality on one song will be good but then suddenly the volume goes way down when I haven't touched anything. The bluetooth range does not go very far at all. My phone was on the ground in my backyard and I was standing on the back deck and I lost the connection. However, the sound does normally sound good, the headphones are very comfortable, they don't slip at all, and they connected very easily to my iPhone. If the headphones are just hanging around my neck the two headphones are magnetically connected and when that happens it disconnects from my iPhone. This is meant to happen and I like it since it makes the battery last longer. However, even with that I have never managed to get a full eight hours of battery out of these headphones. It really depends on what you are looking for in headphones as to whether these would work well for you.

Much Better Than Expected
on April 13, 2018

I really do like this phone, although I would definitely not say it is perfect. It is a lot rounder on the backside of the phone than I am used to. When I compare it to my iPhone 7 it feels much larger, but on the positive side it also feels a lot more sturdy. With my iPhone 7, I use a case normally because I feel that it will slip out of my hands easily. That is not the case with this phone. There also is not that much in the way of bloatware and it runs really fast. One of the best things about this phone is that it can convert video up to HDR, and when I watch YouTube I can really tell the difference.
This is the first Xperia I have owned and so I wasn't used to the camera button on the side. I don't love it but it doesn't really bug me either. But when I allowed my 4 year old niece to watch a video on the phone she kept hitting the physical buttons accidentally. So it is not ideal for really small hands. However, I have noticed that the camera is not as good as the iPhone 7 or even the Pixel I used before my iPhone 7. The volume is really good without headphones. The headphones that come with the phone I really do NOT like but at least when they removed the headphone jack they gave you a pair of headphones and an adapter to try to make up for it. The fingerprint reader is in an odd spot but I got used to it within the first day of using it. However, I have small hands so that might explain part of it. The battery is really good, too, which is great. The battery and how fast the phone is would make it worth buying even without anything else to recommend about it.
As I mentioned before the fingerprint reader is in a weird place but the bigger problem for me is that it cannot always read my fingerprint the first time. It is very annoying, especially since I often use my fingerprint reader to unlock apps. Most apps work great on the phone but sometimes YouTube does not work right. If I were to open the YouTube app 5 times in a day, YouTube wouldn't work correct at least twice that day.
So overall I think it is worth buying but there are a few issues. It just depends on what you are looking and what issues you can deal with.

Meet the secure, tamper-proof smart lock from Nest and Yale. It’s keyless, so you can lock and unlock the door from anywhere with the Nest app.[1] Give people you trust a passcode instead of a key, and get alerts when they come and go. And lock the door with a tap. If you forget, the Nest x Yale Lock even reminds you.

Overall, the item is a good buy but it had a lot more hardware than I had expected. This isn't a bad thing; just a surprise. Additionally, the app for it is pretty easy to use and set up, which is nice. In the box you receive Nest Connect as well, which is nice. It would have been annoying if I had to buy that separately. Nest Connect was exceptionally easy to set up. So overall a good product. Just be aware there is a lot of hardware involved.

I was a little unsure on what to expect of this product. It is the first of its kind that I have owned. In my household of 7, we use our internet connection for tv's, tablets, phones, and computers so we have a lot of devices. This product was easy to set up and I have had only a few issues since I received it a week or so ago. Getting each device connected to the Bitdefender Box was not easy but only once or twice after setup did a device become unconnected from the Box. The app is easy to use and whenever it stops a malicious url or a threat is blocked to a specific connected device I get an alert on my phone, which is nice. Overall, I wouldn't term it an absolute necessity but it makes my home network seem more secure, which is lovely.

Good With A Few Issues
on February 1, 2018
Posted by: Cas25
from Des Moines, IA, USA
The headphones connect easily and stay connected well. Wearing glasses with these headphones is not difficult. With some on-ear headphones they push the arm(s) so that they do not sit right on my nose but that is not a problem with these. The two major issues I have is that after awhile the ears are no longer comfortable and there is not enough padding for the part that sits on top of the head. But the battery is great, the sound is good, and if you do not wear them for long periods of time they are not uncomfortable.

Okay Item But Not Great
on November 24, 2017
Posted by: Cas25
from Des Moines, IA, USA
This is an okay item but not something I consider a great item for a few different reasons. First, the app isn't very good. Second, there is the subscription fee, which I think should not be necessary. And third, my garage ceiling is so high that getting up to the ceiling to attach it is kind of a nightmare. Not impossible but a bit of a nightmare when it comes to attaching it to the ceiling. The instructions also are not very detailed, which I found slightly annoying. But overall, it seems to work like it should. However, I probably won't use it a lot just because the app doesn't really do enough to make it worth it for me.

Good But With A Few Problems
on October 26, 2017
Posted by: Cas25
from Des Moines, IA, USA
I do like these headphones but they definitely aren't perfect. They have noise cancelling and that feature works well. The app is nice but it doesn't have a lot of features. Essentially, you can have adaptive sound control on or off and can have ambient sound control on or off. It does also show my battery status for the headphones but it doesn't show the precise percentage of the battery left. The sound is good and it comes with different sizes so the headphones fit your ears appropriately. My major issue with the headphones is how difficult they were to charge the first time. Part of this is because there is no way to tell if the charging case is charged. And you cannot charge the charging case and the headphones at the same time. They also take longer to charge than most headphones like them. There also doesn't seem to be a light or anything on the outside of the charging case to let you know when the headphones are charged. You also have to make sure you click the headphones in place very tightly in the charging case or they won't charge. As soon as you open the charging case the headphones connect to your phone. Connecting isn't a problem but I can have the phone right next to me and the bluetooth will stop working because my hair is touching the headphones. They are still good headphones but they can just be a little picky. I do recommend them but be aware that there are some issues. And for this type of headphones these are the best that I have found so far.

First, I want to say that I am used to using a MacBook Pro. I have been using Mac's since 2012 so my expectations may be different than a PC user. When I received the laptop it had no charge whatsoever and took about 1.5 hours to fully charge. The setup process was not difficult and it is nice that it has facial recognition as an additional way to sign into the computer. However, it doesn't always work. Mainly I noticed it may not work if my hand is under my chin or something like that. In those cases I instead sign in with a pin number. The screen is nice and when carrying the computer it feels heavy enough to be good quality without being too heavy. The screen is touch screen but I don't really use it. However, I did make sure to try that aspect of it off and on when going through my email, and it seems to work well. My favorite internet browser is Chrome and so I downloaded that right away, and I downloaded iTunes not long after that. They downloaded pretty quick and I had minimal problems getting things set up on both of those. I connected a bluetooth mouse as well, and that connected easily and stays connected. The volume is EXCEPTIONALLY loud. When playing something on YouTube it was plenty loud at 30%. Battery life is not really impressing. Even with the screen brightness really low I got less than 5 hours out of it. It takes about 1-1.5 hours to fully charge. I was also able to connect some bluetooth headphones to the computer very easily. The major problem I found is that the computer is slower than I would have expected. I assumed that because my MacBook Pro has 8 GB of RAM and this has 12 GB of RAM that this would be faster. However, my MacBook Pro is still faster than this is and my MacBook Pro is five years old. It came with McAfee for 30 days, which is nice. Overall, it is not a bad computer but it is not great either. I would still recommend it but not to a person that will do heavy duty computing on a regular basis. It is more for the person who uses their computer for surfing and email purposes.

I consider this a pretty good vacuum cleaner. I love that it comes apart for easier cleaning of specific areas. Most vacuum cleaners that can be used anywhere don't seem to have this ability. Setup was a little confusing at first but it wasn't really that hard to put together. I liked that it came with a Febreze filter and when I vacuumed my carpet I could smell it, which was nice. It is easy to empty and does well everywhere. It fits easily in my living room closet and moves pretty easily. It also has a brush that you can choose to have spinning or not, which I find helpful when doing different floor types. I used a cordless vacuum on my kitchen and living room. The things that the cordless did not pick up this vacuum did pick up. I am happy with it overall.

This Shark ION Rocket vacuum cleaner is equipped with a LiIon battery pack for cord-free cleaning.

I consider this a pretty good vacuum based on the size and power of it. It stays charged for quite awhile. I vacuumed almost the entirety of the main floor of my home and it only lost one bar. For quick jobs or for hardwood floors this is a great option. It will pick up most everything on hardwood floors and pick up some stuff on carpeted floors. However, for serious pet dander I will use a more heavy duty vacuum. I have a cat that sheds A LOT and this vacuum only picked up part of it. In my kitchen, there was one crumb that it did not pick up as well. Overall, a good option. It worked great on my bathroom floor. Setup was very easy as well.
