Solid Gaming Mouse
on January 29, 2016

Verified Purchase:Yes
I was looking for a gaming mouse that had 2 major qualities - size and weight. I have always liked heavier mice when using my home PC to play games. I used to have a Microsoft Sidewinder a long time ago and loved it. Sadly, it gave up the ghost one day, so I went in search for my next PC mouse. I landed at the Logitech G9x, and really enjoyed it. However, it stopped working a little over a year after 1 purchased it. So, I stayed in the Logitech family of products but went to different model, and mostly hated that mouse. In browsing through Best Buy one evening, I stumbled across this beast. I read some reviews and decided to take a chance. Plus, it was $50 off at the time, so I took advantage of that. My first impression was how solid this mouse was. There aren't any weights with this mouse, so I wondered how light it may feel. Out of the box, it felt too light. But once I put the rechargeable battery pack in, the weight was perfect! Additionally, it allows you to configure this mouse in multiple ways - for really small hands, larger hands, palm mice users, claw mice users, etc. Once I adjusted it to as big as I could/ I was satisfied with the whole setup. Then I realized it could be used wired or wireless. Bonus! I have never been a fan of wireless mice for gaming, so this just put the cherry on top! It has great feel, solid construction, great weight to it, and can be used wired or wireless. I am completely satisfied with this purchase. If you are looking for a highly adjustable top-end gaming mouse, this is the one to get!

It's getting better than previous generations...

I have owned every generation of Apple TV. This is by far the best one so far, and the roll out of TV-OS is a big step. Apple finally has an App store for the Apple TV. However, the selection of apps available for the 4th Gen Apple TV are small right now. That is why I have deducted 1 star. I was hoping Apple was going to "roll out the red carpet" with this product, and have a fairly sizable selection of apps available at release. There have been some new ones released since I purchased, so I am hopeful the list will continue to grow. Otherwise, this is a very solid device. If you live in the Apple world of iPhones, iPads, Macs, iTunes, etc., this is a must have addition to your living room. Everything works seamlessly, and the new CPU they have put in the box is incredibly quick. You won't be disappointed.

Works Very Well for what I needed

With my older truck, and the new hands-free law that passed, I decided it was time to outfit that vehicle with Bluetooth hands-free technology. Getting this device was much more economical and less complicated than swapping out the stereo in the vehicle for one that allows hands-free calling. This device is very functional, and simple to operate. Everyone states they can hear just fine when talking to me while I am using it, and I can hear them very clear. I love the auto-off feature. When you phone gets a certain distance from the device, and it senses the doors have been closed, it shuts down to preserve power until it senses your phone again. It announces to you that it has connected to your device when you re-enter the vehicle. The efficiency of the power management with this device, has allowed me to only have to recharge it once in the 1 month of use. This is highly recommended.

Best Blutooth buds I have tried!
on June 16, 2015
Posted by: Roux
Verified Purchase:Yes
I will start by saying that I have a mild addiction to headphones of all types, mostly ear-buds and over-the-ear. I impulse buy headphones under $150 way too often. However, that gives me the ability to see which ones perform better than others. From an over-the-ear perspective, My UE9000's are my favorite Bluetooth headphones for non-portable listening without cords (but they include cords if you want).
In the category of the Sol Republic Shadow wireless ear-buds, I have had the LG Tone, the LG Tone Infinim, JLab Epic, and Motorola S11's. Each had their pluses and minuses. LG was not big on durability or sound, but was great on phone calls. Motorola gave me fit issues with them staying in the ears, and JLab sounded better musically, but people couldn't hear me talk. Then I found these. They are comfortable, very comfortable. I don't even realize I have them around my neck. The sound is fantastic. I thought I might lose some fidelity being wireless versus the Sol Republic Amps I have, and I was mistaken. These sound superb. With the included tips, I found a perfect fit, and I have no problems with them falling out of my ears. The design is simplistic, yet practical. The cords are very durable. Heck, the whole unit is durable, and well made. I love that they are flexible and can be tossed in my bag. They are not rigid or stiff like the others I have tried. No matter what music I queue up to play (hard rock, electronic, classical, etc.), the sound is very solid. People have had no problems hearing me when I am calls, and the battery life is solid. I have had this running constant during an 8 hour work day and never had it run out of batteries. Overall, this is an excellent product for the price.
If I had to state 1 con, it would only be for certain users. I have to use a collared shirt with this so it stays in place. I am a big guy. Like 6' 3" 22" neck kind of guy. When I have this on with nothing but a regular t-shirt, it has a tendency to slip down off of my neck if it is not hooked in my ears. That is because when it goes around my big neck, the weighted ends are only 1/2 way around my neck. Movement causes them to slip backwards sometimes. For a user with a "normal" neck size, the ends should fall further down your neck towards your collar bone, and you won't have that problem. I can't blame the headphones for me being a large guy. They will fit superbly for most users.
Get these! You won't regret.

Will the Roadster 2 be compatible with my I phone 6?

I just bought a stripped GMC Canyon Truck. No Bluetooth. I would like to be able to answer and send telephone calls in the truck without having to hold my cell phone while driving. This will be the only need I have, I don't need music etc. but I want to get the right device thatt will enable me to drive safely and converse on my phone. Is this the right solution or does Motorola make some thing better suited for my needs?
Absolutely! I use one in my 2005 Ford Truck everyday with iPhone 6. This will basically work with any Bluetooth enabled phone, but I know for a fact it works with the iPhone 6!

How are these for long runs?

I can't answer for runs. But I can tell you that I have had these on for a several hours at a time tilling my property, getting jerked all over the place by the tiller when it hits roots. I have also cleared brush with these while jumping in and out of the bed of my truck loading branches. And I have worn them on my utility tractor clearing high grass and small trees. All of these activities ended with very sore muscles, lots of sweat, joints that have ached from the jolting. Not a single time did these come out of my ears.

bluetooth security

i'm using these at work, my question is "what's preventing someone else from connecting to my shadow?" There is no pin, and i can't find a way to make one for the device.
This should only be a concern if the headphones are put into pairing mode. When you initially pair your device to these, you will put them in pairing mode, and then you will pair to your device manually. This takes them out of pairing mode. If you want to add a device, you would need to re-engage pairing mode. That is the only time they are "vulnerable"
