BEST!!
Honest review after trying multiple things to help my son sleep.First of all the sound machine my son has now has a deep, almost inside of an air plane cabin noise that we use for him. It only works off electricity so when the power goes out, it’s off. The power goes out here a lot so I needed something that would work off batteries or a charge.This sound machine charges using a usb cord so you can leave it plugged in but if the power goes out it will still run off the charge. Huge plus! Also makes it great for travel. It can go really loud but it is never needed to be used near the highest level. The sound also matches the one my son already has in his room now. Maybe a little bit higher pitched.Con: and there is only one! There are only 3 sounds to choose from... white noise, waves, low pitch white noise.I still love it and it was worth the money. I wish I had found it before wasting money on other ones!!

Great for Students!
I have been using this lamp for the past two days and I can confidently say it's amazing. I'm a graduate student and need to stay up long hours in the night getting work done - after a several hours of staring at my laptop the pressure on my eyes can get pretty bad, making it difficult to not only stay awake but also focus. This lamp has different light settings that differ in warmth and brightness so I can easily select the type of light I want depending on my needs - if I want to ease the pressure on my eyes I can just switch to the "relax" setting for a warmer tone that's not too bright for me. The study mode is more blue and helps to keep me awake and alert. You can also put a timer on the lamp and charge your phone via USB port on the side of the lamp. Overall the size, settings, and flexibility of the lamp is what makes this product worth your money (and it's a reasonable price too!) I already recommended this lamp to my friends.

Great mic, if you want a CONDENSER mic
Ok, here’s the thing: Overall, this is a very good mic. Blue is a great company and have never let me down with their mics. I recently upgraded from the Snowball to the Yeti and I wasn’t disappointed in the quality. Except some of the buttons feel a bit cheap like the mute button. Problem is, I’m a podcaster. But I don’t have a professional recording studio where I can filter out all background noise. And I did realize this was a condenser mic, which means what the mic picks up, audio-wise, is a lot. The fan in my room gets picked up as does the TV downstairs if it’s on too loud and my neighbors dog. Makes post production very difficult. You can change the gain which is helpful, but just not what I needed. Let this be a warning, if you are a podcaster or audio recorder who doesn’t record instruments or have large groups of people and just want YOUR audio and nothing else, get a DYNAMIC mic. Otherwise this is a great mic choice that’s worth the $130 price tag

Great Speaker for the Price
I'm actually blown away by the value offered by this speaker. My expectations are pretty low on a speaker at this price point but right out of the box I was impressed with the quality. This think is quality built and the reassuring heft let's me know that there is a a significant battery capacity inside.Sound is very impressive particularly for the size. That said, I do no okay it at full volume as there is very slight distortion. Anything short of max sounds great.This is very portable but it's worth mentioning that it looks like they no longer include the screw mount on the bottom. I don't have any purpose for that but did notice it on the box.Only thing I can see to improve this device would be to upgrade to USB c chargimg but that's not much of an issue.I'm using this on my bike and around the house. Connectivity has been great. I have not experienced drops while walking around with my phone in my pocket. That has been an issue on more affordable offerings in the past so I was very happy to see this. Overall this is a great Speaker particularly for the price.

Apart from the Applet ads - I love this product
I'll start and get my negative out of the way. The phone app displays product ads and this can be a bit annoying. As I usually don't interact too much with the interface, it is tolerable...barely.On to what I like. The product is well made, and the independent control of each plug is fantastic.The unit allows you to input a cost/KW hour for electricity, and then provides a bar graph of power consumed. In my case, I am using the plug to turn on and off several Heatracks outdoor mats. Thanks to the application, I now know that my mats consume 700W of power when they are on, and would cost me about $2/day if I left them on 24x7. Thus I have scheduled on/off times to minimize power use. I wish the application provided environmental sensors - as ideally, I would like to turn them on only for rain/snow.But there is one feature that I didn't know was provided. The plug offers the ability to notify of wildfires in proximity. I live in a heavily wooded area, and the threat of wildfires is a real concern. It is worth the price of the unit for this notification if nothing else!

Great deal despite damaged USB A
This is my third refurbished Astro headset, A50 Gen 1>A50 Gen 2>A40 2019. The A50s were great aside from occasional desync-ing and low battery life. These are otherwise my goto headset for years. I could never justify the $250-300 price new but Astro's refurbished headsets are nearly brand new for around half the original price. The A40 provides a superior soundstage to the A50 and doesn't need to be charged, the cables are long enough that having a wired headset isn't too much of an issue . The Mixamp TR steals the show and gives granular control over the 5 EQ presets. It would imo be worth it just for the Mixamp itself through which you can download or tweak up to 5 custom EQs from Astro Command Center.Only catch was that the item appeared to be an open box return and the supplied micro USB that powers the mixamp had a damaged connector and wouldn't even slide into the USB port- easily remedied with a replacement USB cable.Would be 5 stars if the item arrived fully functional but replacing the USB cable was not a deal breaker. This was otherwise a new unit in original box and with original documentation.

Holy bass, Batman
This speaker is no joke. I could not believe it the first time i played it. The bass on it is amazeballs and the sound quality in general is excellent. It is astounding that a small boombox type speaker can put out this much sound, clarity, and bass. It gets LOUD without distorting. Waterproof means it is perfect for the beach and pool parties. It has some weight to it. Feels solid. Sounds solid. I think you could easily use this as your main speaker in your house, especially since you can connect up to 100 of them with the app. I cannot even imagine what that would sound like. You would make the whole country deaf.There isnt much to the app. Mainly just offers the option to connect multiple speakers. Really nothing else to do on there.You will control the music on your phone or through whatever you have it playing from. Volume, play and pause can be done via the speaker.It can run while charging. You can charge other devices with it too.This thing is worth the pricetag. Itll punch you in the face as soon as you turn it on and you will say damn thats amazing.

Serves it's purpose, but it's not perfect by any m
I purchased this because of the battery life compared to that of smaller earbuds - 12 hours versus 4-6 hours. That part is good. They also come with four sets of ear pieces. I've had some devices that aren't comfortable or always feel like they're going to fall out when exercising. These fit well and are secure. I also purchased these to wear on a motorcycle to allow me to talk to my phone (instead of looking or touching it). I can, but what I wasn't expecting was the noise that comes through the cable that connects the two. When you're exercising and anything touches the cable, the sound comes through. If it's windy, that comes through a bit as well. I still think they are a great purchase and they work well in the gym. Outside in the wind, you'll have a bit of noise, but this can be covered by a shirt. I would still recommend the Beats Flex particularly when they're on sale. The battery life alone makes it worth it. The sound is satisfactory for my old ears. I just warn you about the rubbing noise on the cable. It's manageable, but it's there.
