As the latest generation of Samsung's smartwatch lineup, this thing is a beast. Some of the best features include:- Heart rate monitor. The sensor is built into the back of the watch so it automatically detects your heartrate while you're wearing it. You can also do it manually.- Sleep monitor. You can use this watch to monitor your sleeping habits in order to work toward getting a better night's sleep.- Waterproof. Feel free to wear this swimming all you want. If it starts to get any water into the microphone or speaker holes, it will prompt you to push a button to eject any water that might be collected. Very cool feature.- Control your phone. You can do everything from make phone calls, to texting, to controlling your phone camera right from your watch (with screen displayed and all).- Battery life lasts around 3 days.There are so many other features such as GPS, running an ECG on your heart, and more. The one thing I do miss is the physical rotating bezel. My 3rd Gen had it. This 5th Gen ditches it in favor of a digital virtual rotating bezel. That's really just a preference thing. Overall, this smartwatch is everything you could want on your wrist.

 I needed an external speaker that could work for 2 different purposes: 1)line-connected sound for a desktop PC; and 2)Bluetooth-connected sound for the backyard. This one performs well in both cases, with some added bonuses like FM radio, small footprint, and equalizer functions. And overall sound is much better quality than I expected at this price point.There's a lot I like. Sound is full with more than decent bass, and this thing gets pretty loud. It paired easily with various Bluetooth devices. It's also great to have the simple Aux-cable option for connection since I have an older iPad without Bluetooth that I use to stream music, as well as the desktop setup. The little stand that snaps on top can hold a phone or tablet: this gives you a nice elevated “stand” if you're streaming video. You have options to quickly adjust the speaker for inside/outdoor use, or manually adjust bass/treble.The things I don’t like are mostly in the “slightly annoying” category. The functional buttons on the speaker itself aren’t ideal. The on/off power switch (see photo) is in the side and it's a tiny slide-button that feels like it's about to break every time I move it. The control-wheel (see photo) is divided into 6 tiny sections, aggravating to use with adult-size fingers! Volume adjusts with a simple turn knob, but the speaker makes a high-pitched beep during adjustment and the instructions don’t explain why (possibly because it's warning you about high volume?).The remote control might be a bonus for some people, I leave it at my desk since it's just one more thing to carry (and lose) in a portable situation. You need the remote to search and set FM radio stations (button on the speaker just scans presets, no manual tuning). Doesn’t come with batteries, you need a couple of AAAs. Aside from the FM radio, the other functions can all be done from the speaker itself..You can attach a microphone and record stuff, also play music from a USB flash drive. I never use these functions so I can’t comment specifically, but I can understand there are situations where they might be useful. Using a microphone allows you to “address the crowd” at your backyard event!Note: I commonly toss out instructions after setup on small devices like this; for this speaker there are some details that I know I would forget, so I folded the instructions up small and just stuck them on the back of the unit.

battery life is alright for wireless in ear headphones. For sound quality, it's relatively good, could be better, but i also have a personal preference towards open back over the ear headphones. audio pass through definitely sounds mechanical, in the sense of it's not letting audio in, so much as it has a microphone on one side and replays the audio on the other side; probably could work wonderfully as a discrete hearing aid. mostly just purchased these ones for lower latency for watching videos on my phone while cookin or listening to music causally while doing yard work. Would recommend, overall solid quality, i don have some gripes with them being a bit too laggy on latency where they don't always sync up with audio from videos well, but not nearly as bad as other headphones i have used in the past. sound quality, better than skull candy, but not anywhere near close to like a pair of dt990, definately adequate to use for like an airport trip or riding in the back seat of a car on a road trip or jogging around the neighborhood, or biking i suppose. I personally like wire connected wireless headphones, like the beats flex headphones, for exercising, but that's a personal preference there.

I got this for my wife to use on her zoom calls. I'm not an apple user and I was not even sure if it was working when I plugged it in. There's a green light (on top of unit, shown in photo) that apparently gives you confirmation that the base unit is plugged into the iPad. The microphone also has a similar green light when turned on. The mic pairs with the base unit almost instantaneously.I used the Voice Memo app to test the mic. At first, I thought it wasn't working because I could not see any blip in the waveform when I tapped on the mic foam. Apparently, the mic does a good job of rejecting this noise and ambient room noise. The photo shows the waveform from my recording. I have a rather soft voice and the recording was very clean and clear.The second mic also pairs instantly when turned on. I guess you can use both if you have two people sharing a screen on a conference call, or if you want to use your iPad/iPhone to record a 2 person interview.Also note: it is possible to flip the mic clip to the other position. You just slide the clip out, flip it and slide back in.

I bought this for use with discord and for the price, it's phenomenal. My friends have no complaints with my audio, but the camera does make me look a little yellow. Thankfully my room lights are off 90% of the time and I just have my colored LEDs lighting the room so I don't notice it as much then.My only issue is that there were no instructions on how to enable the camera for use on separate apps. If anyone who sees this must know though, just type settings in your search (for Windows), then in settings search "camera" and there should be an option to choose which apps access your camera. From here you'll be able to enable it. You will have to do the same for microphone, but if you're already in camera settings, it should be right below it on the left-hand side.I was also pleasantly surprised to see it actually came with the privacy cover, since in previous reviews it was said that it did not come with. I was fully prepared to just use a sticky note.For my pictures shown, the first one I did have to use a desk light to even see my face due to the lights in the background, but the second is just with my LEDs and another light in the other room on.

I've purchased and used two of these units. One was to add a microphone input to a desktop PC whose mic input was questionable at best. We have had no issues at all in the last 6 months with it, very happy.The other unit was purchased for my personal home use, initially to use with a KVM switch and it worked great. I then got an upgraded switch and no longer had to use it. However, more recently I noticed my headphone jack in my desktop wasn't producing very high quality audio so I switched to using my iPod classic again since the quality is generally regarded as pretty good. Well, just for fun I plugged this unit back in and connected my TripleFi 10 in-ear headphones and ... it was like night and day! Sound quality blows away the regular audio out from my motherboard and sounds comparable to my iPod.Hearing the improved audio quality made me come back and write a review because I had been thinking of adding a DAC headphone amp for my desktop but after trying this out I don't think I need to. For around $15 this has been a great product and I've been very pleased with the value and quality.

So, let me set your expectation. If you are looking for Bose or Amazon Echo quality, this product is not it. What this product is, is a very nice sounding travel speaker that fits in your pocket or backpack and can go anywhere with you. To my hearing, I like the sound better than an Echo Dot. You’re not going to pound out the sound, but you can fill a room with reasonable sound. I plan to use this mostly for travel. In a small office, hotel room or cruise cabin, this speaker is perfect. Frankly, I wasn’t expecting much in terms of sound quality, but I was very surprised. The sound, to me, was very nice. Not much base, but not tinny either. For the purchase price and its portability, this is an exceptionally nice product. On a full charge it will last about 6 hours, which given the size is amazing. The speaker comes with a clam shell case, a charging cable and instructions. Connecting via bluetooth to my iPhone was a snap. If you’re interested in stereo, get two speakers. For my purposes, and maybe yours, one is enough. Oh, just to give you some perspective on size, the orange glass in the pictures is 16 ounces. This speaker is tiny! The speaker also has a microphone, so you can use it for telephone calls, as well.

These headphones are perfect for me. The sound quality is great, and they serve my purposes perfectly. I've been using them for about a week. I rarely have a volume higher than 30-40% and they last at least 10 hours. Though, if I was in a louder environment and had the volume louder they probably wouldn't last as long on one charge. They charge very quickly. Nobody around me can hear anything I'm listening to, but I can carry on conversations while keeping the music going. When I am going on a bike ride, these headsets provide both good sound and the ability to hear cars, bikes, dogs, etc… that may be coming up from behind.The touch points are good, I can operate them using a pair of thin walking gloves, and the battery seems fine, but I’ve only been on 3-4 walks with them (averaging 1.75 hours a walk). I can’t say how well the microphone works yet. The headphones charge via USB-C, which is fantastic! I am trying to move all of my mobile tech to USB-C so I don't have to take more than one charging cable with me anywhere.Excellent pair of headphones and a great value!
