You can't go wrong with these...

I had the wired version of the Bose Quiet Comfort headphones, and I loved them. I primarily use them for air travel and they were awesome. So, when the wireless BT ones finally came out, I had to get them. Let me say that they exceeded my expectations. The incredibly soft leather, with the pliable but not overly so foam make them comfortable and easy to wear for extended periods.
As for the noise reduction, nothing compared to my old Bose, and now nothing compared to these. Active noise cancellation is amazing. It cancels out just enough to be quiet, but not so much that you can't tell that something is going on (like a flight announcement).
Oh, and if you can't find the L/R indicators to know which way to put them on, look inside the ear cups... Took me a while to find that... :-)
Bottom line, they are better thany Sony's, the are better than the JBL's (which I returned), and are the best wireless, noise-cancelling headphones out there! Stop reading and go try them!

Nice watch, great fitness tracker

Very impressed with the Fitbit Surge fitness tracker. Comfortable to wear, battery life of at least 3 days.
It's a little uncomfortable to sleep in due to it's size, and being rubber, it 'drags' on the sheets easily. But other than that, it's a good compromise between a fitness tracker and a watch.

The Nexus TV is a great home entertainment device. Easy access to all sorts of media options... Everything from Google (YouTube, Google Music, Play Movies). Also with other apps, like Plex or Kodi, you can access media on your computer!
Online providers are coming around.. Netflix, Hulu, ABC, and more are available too...
Lastly, it doubles as a Chromecast device as well, so you can use your phone too...

This is one of the nicest tablets I've ever used..

Verified Purchase:Yes
And trust me... I've used a lot. Motorola Xoom, Asus 201, Asus 301, Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 editiion, Nexus 7, and now Nexus 9.
The speed, fluidity, beautiful screen resolution are amazing. The back has a slightly rubberized feel to it, which may be a little finger-printy, but you feel confident when you hold it. It even has a bit of a bezel on the (horizontal) left and right sides, so you have a place to pinch it with your thumb while holding it.
It is also amazingly light weight. and super easy to hold.
In a lot of ways, it reminds me of a really big Nexus 5, which was one of the sexiest smart phones I've ever owned.
The one and only wish I had is that it came in a 64GB (or even a 128G B) version. With no SD slot, and my primary use is traveling, you end up storing/caching a lot of stuff locally (movies, music, etc.). I addressed it with a micro-usb thumb drive that can be installed for extra space. (good thing the port is on the side when it's horizontal, unlike my Samsung that had it on the bottom!)
Again, great tablet. Highly recommend it. It may be "the one". The tablet I've long been looking for!

Nice little drive

Definitely worth the sale price!. Very compact flash drive. Good performance.
Only downside I can come up with is that even with the connector retracted, it's still exposed on the end, so I'm not sure there is a lot of added safety with it retracted.
Still, it's a great little drive!

What's great about it: compact size, good storage capacity.
What's not so great: even when retracted, connector is still exposed

How do I connect my iPad after my iPhone is connected?
It seems that these will pair to a couple of devices, but, worst cast, you can press and hold the power switch past the on position to re-pair them to another device.

If this headset were to have no battery or power. Would it still be useable when connected with a cord?
Yep. It's one of the features that you can use it wired. There won't be any noise cancellation, but over the ear headphones isolate sound pretty well...

How comfortable are these for sleeping? Is there a better model?
They were pretty comfortable for long durations. But as an over the ear headphone, you would have to sleep on your back for it to work...

Hello can tell me if they sound good with a ipod or do they only sound good with a expensive home stereo system? Thanks!
It really depends on how the music is encoded for the portable device. At a high bit rate (320kbps) they should be very comparable to a home stereo with, say, a CD playing.

Why does music that's streamed,not as loud as music down loaded to my phone.
If you are talking about local MP3s vs something like Spotify, often the streaming service streams at a lower quality to save bandwidth. The players themselves often have different ranges for volume.
Sometimes in settings there is an equalizer or volume boost setting. See of you can use that to boost the volume.
