Stream your favorite TV shows and movies straight to your TV with the Roku Ultra. It has voice search to make finding your next binge easier, and it's compatible with 4K Ultra HD displays for crystal-clear picture quality. The Roku Ultra includes a lost remote finder so you never have to search the couch cushions again.

Good product

Verified Purchase:Yes
This was easy to set up, and works well. I like the on-screen format and the appearance of the apps.
The only drawback is that it does not allow daisy-chaining with other devices. I have three input devices (Roku, Blu-ray player, and DVR) but only two inputs in my Receiver, so I had to buy a separate HDMI switch. With my old Visio device I did not have to do that. I would have given this 5 stars but for that drawback.

Very comfy and secure

Verified Purchase:Yes
This is the third pair of earbuds I bought in a search for suitable replacements for the buds that came with my phone. The first sounded very good, but the "cable thump" was horrible. The second did not sound as good and had cable thump issues. The Bose sound good, are comfortable and secure when outdoors hiking, and have no cable thump. I can also hear things (people, birds, etc) when using them. These are keepers!

Most compact
on July 5, 2016

Verified Purchase:Yes
There are many USB power adapters, and most are less expensive than the Apple device. The Apple is the smallest one I could find, and since this is for my briefcase size is important. The compact size was worth a few extra dollars to me.

Works Well
on June 10, 2016

Verified Purchase:Yes
I use this primarily as a heart rate monitor while exercising, linking it to a smartphone to see and record the results. The device is comfortable and seems accurate.
It would be better if it would link to a wrist device other than the Polar brand, so I would not have to hold my phone to see my current heart rate. That is simply an issue of every manufacturer using a different standard for communication.

Good, with one serious flaw
on May 20, 2016
Posted by: Guido
Verified Purchase:Yes
The Fitbit is attractive and comfortable, and I like the functions it provides. The associated Fitbit app is the best in the market - clear, clean, informative, and efficient.
The serious flaw is that the heart rate display is almost completely unreadable outdoors. I walk vigorously, and would have to stop, remove my sunglasses, and hold the device just so to read it. I eventually replaced the Fitbit with a different brand.
I did not check the reliability of the heart rate readings.

The USB 3.0 4-Port Mini Hub allows for up to four USB 3.0 devices to be connected simultaneously at a transmission speed of 5Gbps, while still providing connectivity and support for the older USB 2.0 (480Mb/s) and 1.1 (12Mb/s) devices. It works with high-bandwidth Super Speed USB 3.0 devices, such as webcams, flash drives, video surveillance cameras, digital video cameras, multi-channel audio and more. In addition, it supports fast charging for smart phone, tablets, and iPad.

When I first began using this device, my computer seemed to have trouble recognizing it. After a few days, though, it began working as expected. I plug it in, boot my laptop, and all of the peripherals connected through it are recognized and operate.

How does the Fitbit - Charge HR Activity Tracker rate against other brands of Fitbits?

I compared the Fitbit Charge HR against the comparable Garmin (Vivosmart HR)and Polar (A360) devices. The Fitbit app is head and shoulders better that the others. The Garmin is much easier to use outdoors. The Fitbit is more compact and more comfortable. Neither will connect to a chest strap heart rate sensor, which would provide more reliable data. The Polar will connect to a chest strap sensor but is bigger and bulkier that the others. If outdoors use is not an issue, I would choose the Fitbit. If outdoors use is important the Garmin is a better choice. If really accurate heart rate info is important, probably a different type of device is best for you.
