Good sleep aid, if a little pricey
I used to sleep with an air filter in my bedroom for years, even long after the filter had stopped working. When I moved and ditched the filter, I quickly found I had trouble sleeping without the fan noise. This seemed like a convenient solution to provide the noise without having to purchase another expensive HEPA filter.It works well, with options for either fan noise or forms of white noise, and you can set a 1 hour sleep timer if you don’t want it making noise the entire night. The volume controls also cover a solid range of volumes.So why four stars? Mainly because I can’t shake the feeling that this thing is slightly overpriced for what it is. If it were $5 to $10 cheaper, it’d be an easy five stars. But $50+ (at the time of this review) for a small speaker just feels a little steep. That said, quality sleep is worth some extra expense, so I’d still recommend it for anyone in a similar position.

Looks Stunning!
Honestly, I didn't even want this for 'gaming' purposes. I just wanted it because it simply looks awesome with all the color changing and what not! I just use it in place of my regular mouse when searching the web and things like that. The colors that show up on this are STUNNING! I have mine set so that itbrotates through colors in a rainbow effect but I'm pretty certain you can also set it to a single color.The only cons with it is that it has a cord (which isn't a huge deal if you don't move your laptop around) and quite often I accidentally click buttons without meaning to. They are just so easy to click that sometimes I'll be scrolling and boom....I'm on a new page! I thought it was maybe just going to take some getting used to, but I've had the mouse for months and still have the issue. Not a big deal, but still worth mentioning!

Best of the Type So Far
We have enough power outtages so that we have several of this sort of thing. This is the one I'd take if I went camping. It's shocking how much power storage it has for its weight. Usually, with power banks, heavier is better. This is not heavy, but it seems to hold a heck of a charge. I had it running on its brightest mode for a little over two hours, and the charge indicator claimed it still had a 75% charge.The light is very bright, but not glaring. This is an area illumination light, not a long-range spotlight. Placed up overhead, it'll provide decent reading light across probably an eight-foot circle. It has a large diffuser, though, and isn't painfully bright if you look directly at it. It has a magnet that gets the job done, plus a folding hook.The only downside is that it takes quite awhile to charge. It charges by USB, which is quite convenient, but naturally it's a slow charge. Not a problem so far, but worth knowing.

This is the more expensive of the different Google
This is the learning version of Google’s family of thermostats. It has learning features that the less expensive ones don’t have. I purchased it because it doesn’t need a “c” wire or to be plugged in and I could install it myself. If you don’t need the learning feature check into the other models’ compatibility with your system. The installation and software setup is easy and elegant. I replaced a Honeywell thermostats whose software was so poorly designed I could not connect it to the internet. Honeywell refers you to their business partner when you use their contact number for help. This device is brilliantly designed and infinitely more beautiful. (All of the Google models are.) Bottom line: check the other Google models first for compatibility. Buying this one is still worth it if you can install it yourself and avoid professional installation. The Nest app is also beautifully designed and can be easily used from anywhere you can connect to the internet. Buy it.

It fits my HyperX Cloud and picks up sound.
I've only had this for a few days- so I may check back in further down the line if things change.This replacement mic does about all you can ask of it- It picks up sound just fine and fits the slot on the headset.I cannot attest to the audio/pickup quality of the replacement vs. the original, and don't know if this actually has an impact on the end result, but the actual mic head looks simpler/cheaper on this product.A couple things that are aesthetically different from the original, but shouldn't have an impact on performance:The mic doesn't sit flush with the edge of the headset (On HyperX Cloud - see image).The finish is slightly different - the original has a rubberized plasti-dip type matte coating, where this is bare textured plastic.Neither of these things bother me, but everyone is different and I figured that it would be worth pointing out.It does its job, was decent enough value, and got here on time. It gets 5 stars from me.

Super-decent phones for $30 bucks...
Admittedly, I'm no high-end audiophile...just a dude chillin' at the crib on a budget. But, for $30 bucks and some change, the bass is just full enough and the clarity is just decent enough, that it's definitely worth considering if you just want to listen to some tunes or play some games. The range of sound is not extraordinary, but again, it's flexible enough to give you good sound across both music and voice broadcasts. Material and construction is suitable for light-duty listening, but maybe not so much for arduous stuff like dragging them around while traveling or heavy outdoor activities. If you're comparing these to $300 high-end noise-cancelling units, it's not in that league by any means, but, it is DEFINITELY a step up from other off-the-shelf brand-name phones selling at a similar price point. I wasn't 100% sold on the SharePort feature until I had the phones in hand and was pleasantly surprised at how handy the dual ports can be...pretty cool.

It does exactly what it promises...
After installing a new Toshiba flatscreen TV, we especially enjoyed watching British and similar foreign movies. The operative word was “watch”... I simply don’t believe people who watch such movies and TV productions and claim to understand what the actors SAY. This difficulty is indicative of new program production and director accommodation of colloquial accents, styles and tonal expression! You are not deaf; Mrs. Marple mumbles, Vera drops into near Geordie mode, Wallender is reflective under his breath, Midsummer characters express truly diverse British vernaculars... and Hercule? well, it’s not French but it is engaging. We want to HEAR what they have to say!!! BOSE provides access in a quality, well designed, overly simple sound bar with a button that immediately renders speech clear and more than understandable. The remote can be a patience tester, but this is one “worth its cost” device... we are quite pleased! Well packed, quick delivery and simple instructions... and it delivers!

Does what it's supposed to
Overall I'm happy with it, there are a couple of minor fit/finish issues and the plastics used feel kinda cheap like it might get brittle and crack later. I've been using it for a few months so far and nothing has gone wrong with it, the handle clamp that holds the phone easier to use than the few other flexible phone holders I've tried, easily holds even the larger phones in cases (Asus ROG phone 3 with heavy case here)Overall I'd say this was worth the moneyIt's easy to put just about any phone in it (even for those with strength/dexterity issues in their hands) it works just like an oversized hair clipThe neck pretty stiff compared to similar holders so it's more stable but it definitely takes some effort to get it to the right position, so if you're getting this for someone with strength/dexterity issues in their hands then you might want to help them clamp it and bent to where they want it
