These Sony headphones are a great and less pricey alternative to Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones. They represent a good value in my opinion.

Comfortable, quiet keys and a large (3.5-inch) touchpad make navigating entertainment effortless. Even setup is a snap thanks to the tiny, plug-and-play Unifying receiver.

Surprisingly useful keyboard

Verified Purchase:Yes
I recently purchased an Android flat screen TV and was not looking forward to using the TV's remote to enter my wireless network password, etc. So I bought the Logitech K400 Plus Wireless Keyboard to make that task easier. The keyboard also made using the smart TV's search function and accessing programs from my Netflix account quick and easy. But then I realized thatI could connect my laptop to the TV through one of the TV's HDMI inputs. In this way the Logitech K400 Plus Wireless Keyboard gave me complete accessibility to the laptop's functions with no physical connections. I just plugged the Logitech K400 Plus Wireless Keyboard's dongle into a USB connection on the Android TV and I was up and running. The built in trackpad made navigation a snap. The cursor appears on the TV's screen as toon as I touch the trackpad and disappears after a few minutes of no use. Overall, this was a great purchase and a great value, in my opinion.

Smart Keyboard available at Best BuyThe new Smart Keyboard for iPad Pro has all the utility of an ordinary full-size keyboard, but its technology is far from conventional. The entire keyboard is draped with a custom-woven fabric that has been laser ablated to precisely define each key and ensure a satisfyingly fast and natural key feel. Below the surface of Smart Keyboard is a new conductive material. At just 0.1mm, it is nearly as thin as a piece of paper, yet strong enough to withstand a lifetime of folding. And it's why you won't find any batteries, cord or on/off switches with Smart Keyboard.

A great accessory...... with some limitations

Verified Purchase:Yes
The Apple Smart Keyboard for the iPad Pro 12.9 inch fits well and works flawlessly. The Smart Keyboard attaches magnetically to the edge of the iPad Pro and it is powered by a set of contacts directly from the iPad. So there is no need to charge or replace any batteries. On the other hand, when the you detach the keyboard it loses power as well as its ability to communicate with the iPad. Also, unlike some of the Logitech keyboard cases I tried out, the Apple Smart Keyboard does not feature back-lit keys. In the "store" position, it protects the glass face of the iPad Pro very well. However it does not protect the edges of the iPad's case as well as some of the Logitech products I saw. This is both a plus and a minus. The plus side is that the dimensions of the Apple Smart Keyboard, when installed on the iPad Pro, allows it to fit into one of the standard sized iPad sleeves.

The new Multi-Touch subsystem in the new iPad 9.7" and iPad Pro gives Apple Pencil striking capabilities alongside pixel perfect precision. Using incredibly sensitive pressure and tilt sensors, Apple Pencil instantly recognizes when you are pressing harder or shifting its angle. So you can vary line weight, create subtle shading, and produce a wide range of artistic effects — just like with a conventional pencil.

A "must-have" accessory
on August 19, 2017
Posted by: Tony
from Media, PA
Verified Purchase:Yes
If you plan to purchase a new iPad Pro I highly recommend you purchase the Apple Pencil. It provides a precise stylus tip for any "drag and drop" commands and tremendous unity and versatility when used as a drawing tool. The Apple Pencil behaves like a pen or lead pencil in that the stroke you can produce becomes heavier when you use more downward pressure and it becomes lighter and finer when you apply less pressure. The Apple Pencil pairs easily with the iPad by simply plugging it into the iPad's lightning port.
The only downside is that the Apple Pencil is a bit thicker around than a standard pencil, and perhaps a bit heavier too. This could make it more difficult for a child to hold the device and I mention that because one of the main reasons I purchased the Apple Pencil was to use it with Apps that teach children to draw / write letters and numerals. This is accomplished by having the child trace, using the Apple Pencil, over an outline of the desired alphanumeric character as displayed by one of these learning Apps. I think a lighter, thinner design would make it easier for a child to do this.
Otherwise, I highly recommend the Apple Pencil.

Didn't quite fit

Verified Purchase:Yes
I purchased this sleeve for my new iPad Pro 12.9 inch tablet. The sleeve fit the tablet just fine, but when I inserted the iPad into the Logitech Keyboard case I bought to protect the iPad, the sleeve's zipper would not close. Sizing appears to be a challenge with sleeves made for specific iPad models and dimensions. I recommend actually trying the available sleeves out with the display iPads in the store before choosing one to purchase. I also found the variety of sleeves available for the 12.9 inch iPad Pro to be quite limited and that made finding the right fit even more challenging.
So, my recommendation is that this sleeve works well with a 12.9 inch iPad Pro unless you plan to install a keyboard case and, in that circumstance, you may need to purchase a sleeve of slightly larger interior dimensions and / or with a little stretch in the construction to get the iPad with keyboard case to fit into it.

Awesome tablet!
on August 19, 2017
Posted by: Tony

Verified Purchase:Yes
I just bought the new 12.9 inch iPad Pro with 512 GB of memory. I had been using a second generation iPad with a 9 inch screen and only 32 GB of memory, so this purchase represented quite an upgrade. I also bought the Apple Pencil as an accessory, which I highly recommend. Together the iPad Pro and the Apple Pencil provide a lot of functionality that i could not get with my older iPad.
There are also a bunch of new apps that have been written specifically for the iPad Pro. One thing i am excited to try are the apps aimed at teaching kids how to write upper and lower case block letters and numbers. The app presents the outline of a character with directional arrows and the child uses the Apple Pencil to trace over the character's shape. My grand daughter is going to love this! I have not yet began to explore the iPad Pro's other capabilities. There is so much to learn. I am also happy with the fact that Apple is now including word processing software "Pages" as a standard app on the iPad Pro. This will really come in useful as one reason I purchased the larger format iPad was to replace my older MacBook laptop.
On the down side - I don't think it makes sense for Apple to deny users the convenience of a USB port and a memory card slot at this price point (the WiFi-only version of the 12.9 inch iPad Pro with AppleCare, the Apple Pencil and the Logitech Keyboard Case cost me over 1,400 USD). I think it would also make sense to enable mouse functionality like the Microsoft Surface Pro has. The other negative is that the enhanced size of the 12.9 inch iPad Pro comes at the cost of increased weight. With or without the case, this iPad is heavy to hold comfortably for long periods of time. And for this reason, I highly recommend purchasing a case with a kick-board stand. The new generation of keyboards (Apple / Logitech) are all powered directly from contact points on the iPad. This is nice as it eliminates the need for separately charging or replacing the keyboard's batteries. The Logitech keyboard is also backlit, which is a great feature. But these keyboards do not communicate with the iPad once they are detached.
Overall, this is a great product and the bundle of accessories I purchased represented a good use of resources. Not a "bargain" product by any stretch of the imagination, but like all the Apple products I have owned, a good value.

This is my 'go-to' camera card
on July 14, 2017
Posted by: Tony
from Media, PA
Verified Purchase:Yes
The SanDiak UltraPlus 32 GB SD card is my 'go-to' camera card. The 80 MB/second write speed is very fast, making thIis Class 10 card an excellent choice for both still photography and video. And the affordable price makes it practical purchase a new card when i need one. This enables me to keep the photos and videos recorded on a full card archived there in their original format and quality rather than erasing the card for re-use.
The only negative I have experienced with this product is that the "protect / record" slide switch on the side of the card sometimes gets loose with repeated actuations causing the switch to change its setting unexpectedly and unintentionally when the card is handled or inserted into my camera. I have worked around this shortcoming by covering the switch with a small piece of tape. It's not the most elegant solution, but it works.

I recently bought the Insignia™ - Apple MFi Certified 6" Lightning Charge-and-Sync Cable as part of a bundle with my iPhone 7 Plus. Initially, I purchased this item just so my total purchase price would meet the minimum to qualify for a discount. But I have since found this little 6 inch cord very useful for charging and syncing my iPhone without a lot of wire cluttering up the counter top. It's a great little product and I'm glad I purchased it.

It protects your phone, but it muffles your voice

Verified Purchase:Yes
I recently purchased an Otter Box Defender phone case along with my new iPhone 7 Plus at Best Buy. The case protects the phone but makes the iPhone very difficult to handle, so you have to get used to holding it. The issue I encountered with the Otter Box was that my voice was muffled whenever I used the iPhone with the hard plastic belt clip sleeve still attached. When I placed a call people would say my voice sounded distant or muffled. Taking the iPhone out of the plastic sleeve appears to solve this problem. It's a bit of a hassle to have to remove the belt clip sleeve from the phone every time I want to make a call. But, if I don't remove the iPhone from the sleeve, I have to cup my other hand under the bottom of the phone to reflect my voice back up toward the bottom of the iPhone when I use it to make or take phone calls. Otherwise the case works well.

Great Phone, with a few caveats

Verified Purchase:Yes
I recently purchased an iPhone 7 Plus at Best Buy. The sales experience was great and my associate explained a way that I could save money by bundling some accessories with the phone, which I did. It takes some time and attention to get used to the larger format of the iPhone 7 Plus. The phone itself worked great except for a problem I experienced with the sound quality of my phone calls. People I called complained that they could not hear me and that the sound of my voice was muffled. Although I had purchased AppleCare with the phone, and I had owned the phone only 15 days, Best Buy was unable to help me. That part of my purchase experience was a bit disappointing especially since I had spent almost $1000 on the phone and accessories. But it was explained to me that Best Buy Mobile is a separate entity and even though I am a Best Buy Elite Plus member, my return / exchange privileges on the iPhone purchase was only 14 days. And so I took the iPhone to the Apple Store. After a long wait a Genius Bar technician diagnosed my phone and determined that one of the microphones was malfunctioning. So my phone was replaced with a new iPhone 7 Plus. I have subsequently learned that part of my speech volume problem was caused by the Otter Box Defender Case I had bought as part of my accessory bundle with the iPhone purchase. But that is the topic of a separate review.

Will the Logitech qwerty board work with an LG smart tv
Hi Kent:
If your TV is an Android TV and it has a USB2 (or later) port, it should work. I purchased the Logitech K400 Plus Wireless Keyboard to use with my new Sony (Android) TV. All I needed to do was plug the keyboard's dongle into a USB port on the TV and I was up and running. Good luck with this!

Is it compatible with an ipad pro ?
No - I tried this and the Logitech K400 Plus Wireless Keyboard does not appear as a choice on the iPad pro because it is not a bluetooth keyboard. I think it connects to an Android flat screen TV via a radio frequency (RF) interface. I have not tried using an adapter to connect the Logitech K400 Plus Wireless Keyboard's dongle directly to the iPad Pro via the Lightning Port , but I doubt that it would work.....although it would be VERY COOL if it did, especially because of the built-in trackpad!!!

Is there cheaper key board to purchase for IPad Pro? And if so, is there any difference in functionality?
Hi Trenn:
The Apple Smart Keyboard for the iPad Pro 12.9 inch, unlike some of the Logitech keyboard cases I tried out, does not feature back-lit keys. In the "store" position, it protects the glass face of the iPad Pro very well. However it does not protect the edges of the iPad's case as well as some of the Logitech products I saw. This is both a plus and a minus. The plus side is that the smaller overall dimensions of the Apple Smart Keyboard, when installed on the iPad Pro, allows it to fit into one of the standard sized iPad sleeves. The Logitech "Slim Combo" Keyboard Case is cheaper ($149.00) and has better features, in my opinion, including the backlit keys and better protection for both the glass face and the edges of the iPad Pro's case mentioned above. However, it does increase the dimensions of the device when the Slim Combo Case is installed and this my make it more difficult to find a protective sleeve that the iPad + Slim Combo Case will fit into. I hope this answer is helpful to you.

I own a corporation, LLC, can I use this product to complete my corporate return? Also, do I then need 'deluxe' for the personal return? Thank you
TurboTax Home & Business can be used to prepare a small business tax return using a Schedule C. If that is the approach you normally use to file your LLC tax return then this software will work for you. Regarding your personal return, TurboTax Home & Business allows you to prepare several different returns (I think, up to 5 individual returns) and it incorporates all the features of TurboTax Deluxe, so you should not need to purchase TurboTax Deluxe for your personal tax return.
