Budget-friendly, surprisingly cool, more than adequate
So we were actually going to save up and budget for a large screen tv, but decide to try this projector in place of that plan. We have had good recommendations from friends who have screens/projectors instead of huge TVs, and decided to buy this one as it was on sale and had high reviews. I had somewhat low expectations (I mean, the TV’s are several hundred dollars, this was bought for much less than $100), but when it was finally set up and we watched a movie (Lord of the Rings), I was utterly delighted. The first picture I added to this review is with my cameras flash on; it clearly shows the screens outline, plus the projectors movie outline. This view is what you would see with the lights on. The second picture is without the cameras flash; this is what we saw with the lights turned off as we watched the movie. As one can see, the lines are crisp, the color is wonderful (you have the ability to change this setting), and it is actually huge. This purchase came with the white screen, the projector, and the connecting wires, along with some other accessories. It was relatively easy to set up. I will add that we did end up purchasing an additional piece of audio equipment to augment the sound. The whole thing was still under budget and just incredibly cool to have. I would definitely recommend this item if one is looking for a great way to watch movies, shows, but doesn’t want to spend hundreds on a larger tv.

Not Far Off Holding It’s Own!
I took this up to rehearsal with a six piece gigging covers band.Initial impressions were that although it was well packaged, when the box was opened it did feel relatively lightweight and toylike.This is in comparison to our usual gigging microphones of Shure sm58s, which are industry standard, and relatively bulletproof.. and over twice as expensive without the cordless capabilities.Despite feeling relatively lightweight, this test should be more about the sound.I am pleased to say that the sound is… Quite good, actually. It’s a slightly more rounded, bass heavy response to vocals, but it certainly wasn’t laughed out of the room and we all tried it with varying degrees of success for the various voices within the band.Overall, we won’t be switching to these microphones any time soon, however that it really isn’t the point of this microphone and I can see that it would have a lot of uses in possibly karaoke venues, public speakers.. or even pub quizzes or bands who are looking for entry-level equipment with a cordless capacity .All in all, really not too bad at all. For the price you are paying, and the fact that this isn’t a million miles off the performance of our usual microphones, I was impressed what the not so little mic can do.The charge for the remote lasted for the three hour rehearsal and the AA batteries in the mic (not supplied) were still showing good charge.We're definitely going to keep this as a back up/guest mic.. or for offering out when we do functions and speeches require a mic. It's definitely perfect for that!

Bose Sport Wireless Headphones
They're good for sport, being waterproof enough to withstand the rain, and fantastic sound quality. The audible range from bass, treble and higher frequencies is perfect for sport music. I was really impressed with that side.They're not the best for making calls with, but then I don't think they're made for that. They work, but unlike wired headphones that have the microphone placed around your chest, these don't - so your callers can find it hard to hear you.The case charges them, and then you charge the case - it's all very easy, and very similar to others of it's kind. I find the pods and the case too easy to lose, but that's not specific to these, that's just wireless headphones in general. The battery life on these Bose Sport is pretty low, though. Lower than other wireless bud headphones of a similar kind. My current Jabra ones last 12 hours, even a year in of daily use.I would strongly recommend doing a full charge from the very start, as Lithium rechargeable batteries tend to have a 'memory' which affects the battery life later on. It's also best to let them drain fully before recharging, as this also prolongs battery life. With the already quite sparse battery on them, it's definitely worth looking after.I like them, the sound quality is brilliant, they fit well, and are fit for purpose. The battery life is a slight issue though, and so it depends if this will affect your usage or not. If you're likely to be using them a lot, as in more than an hour a day, the battery life might become somewhat of an issue. But for the 3-times-a-week gym workout, they're more than fit for purpose.

Small and compact!
The picture makes these look much bigger than they actually are; they are about the size of a Bluetooth earpiece and function very similarly. What I love most about this microphone is its ability to clip and stay on to almost any fabric, even silk. I wear a lot of silk shirts for work and the slips don’t stay on or even damage the shirts (we’ve gone through a lot of testing with different mics at my work in the film industry) and these clips are gentle enough on fabric for gripping enough to not slip down while you’re moving. Additionally, the sound that is produced, even in windy or loud areas, is superb. It almost completely cuts out exterior noise even when the subject is not speaking which makes recording on the go really easy.Additionally, these come with a super convenient case that doubles as a charger, so anytime you are on the move, you are charging as you go. This is perfect if you travel for work and do a lot of interviews with people like I do because no matter how remote you are, you’ll have peace of mind knowing that these will be fully charged and ready to use anytime. The case is durable and has a hard outer shell so you can pack these away and ensure they won’t get damaged. They also have a sleek design that isn’t too flashy. If you are video recording and voice recording with these mics, they don’t stand out too much.Overall, these are great mics to get both for work and for pleasure. If you want something that is perfect for traveling with or clipping onto fragile pieces of clothing, you’ve found the perfect set of mics. I highly recommend these!

It must be good because it's Bose
I never understood what quality means until I’ve got this Bose earbuds. I always preferred to use In-ear Earbuds with microphone instead of the wired earphones, it's much convenient for me even if I have to recharge it every day or even multiple times a day , but I always had to compromise with the sound quality, they just never sound the same like an over ear headphone.The earbud came with a small black plastic box which is the charger and the holder of the earbuds. Probably the smallest earbuds I have ever seen. I remember the big chunky ones and even the Bluetooth ones used to be quite big and visible in the ear on the early days but this is almost invisible. I've paired it with my phone which was so simple and now I can listen music while I'm driving, running, working etc. and I can even talk with my partner and my family, sorting out daily duties and don't need to hold the phone in my hand which is great. The battery lasting about 4-5 hours with one single charge, then the charging case can provide another 10 hours’ worth of power for the earbuds. I only have to charge the case once every 2 days. Comes with fast charging USB type C cable. My earbuds are black coloured but also available in 2 more colours (Baltic blue and white. To get out the most of this Bose earbuds, I would suggest to download and instal the Bose Music appto unlock the full potential of the earbuds like naming your earbuds, set the controls, check your battery life and more.

Best Headset ive used
I was given these headphones as a gift from a friend 3-4 years ago. These are the best headphones ive ever owned.They are super comfortable on the ear, and i can wear them for 12 hours straight with no issues. They aren't hot and they sit nicely on my head.The audio quality is top tier. Crisp audio quality out of the headphones, and i can get good quality on low volume (i keep it super low to avoid damaging my hearing, as they are on the loud side). The volume slider is a little stiff, but easily manageable on and off my head. The noise cancellation is top quality, as friends and family have complained about my lack of hearing while wearing these headphones. They are great at keeping out a lot of ambient sound without actively noise cancelling.I can't speak to the quality of the microphone, as i use an external mic, but the swivel to mute function is great, and keeps the mic out of your line of sight when out of use (i hate headsets that can't move the mic) and it isn't even that bad when un-muted.The standard wired cable is nice and long, letting me move around my room without worrying about running out of cable.I am only looking for a small replacement for these because i tripped on the cable and bent the jack. It still works (this happened early on and it's very durable) but im looking at hyperx wireless headsets to keep the same sound quality, but more freedom of movement.Overall, the best headphones i've ever owned. I will still use these along with any new headphones in the future.

Powerful Little Mic and you Can't beat the price
First off this thing is SMALL. I mean absolutely tiny. Not even the size of a playing card. Maybe a 2"x1" is a low estimate but it's not much bigger than that. The clamp it comes with is meant to attach it to laptop monitors or the edge of desks, and for me it works fine for the latter but my desktop monitor is too fat in the lip so it doesn't clamp on. Also the ball joint feels a bit flimsy but I haven't had any problems. Also you can't really beat the price, and I like the little plastic zip case it comes with. It's a nice touch.Well, how does it record? Of course that's the most important question. The answer is: not bad. My friend and I used it for a few hours of amateur podcasting before switching to his Blue Yeti mic after a week or so, and well, the prices speak for themselves: the Yeti is a far superior microphone, in construction and quality, but the Go Mic isn't far behind. I'd definitely recommend this over the Blue Snowball or Snowball ICE because I think it's a little less money, it's far smaller, and the audio quality is about the same. To be fair the recording quality isn't too bad, and since we weren't recording in a booth, it recorded actually very well.It, however, requires some sort of adapter for a standard mic stand, as we had to clip it on (the threading on the stand was too wide).So if you're in the market for a travel mic, or even want a recording mic and are just on a budget, or hey, if you like neat little tech toys, I heartily recommend the Go Mic.

Original item didn't last long, but customer servi
I ordered this microphone back in August because the built in mic for my laptop isn't very good and I was tired of wearing headphones all the time during all the video calls I have. It was easy to use; just plugged it in and used it with Zoom, Discord, etc. After about 3 months, it just stopped working for no apparent reason. I contacted Amazon tech support and we worked through some basic troubleshooting (she was very patient and helpful!). Then after those didn't work, she connected me directly to Samson tech support. He walked me through some more detailed troubleshooting, but that didn't help either. He told me that they would send me a replacement (even though I was technically just past the 90 days). He gave me a return number that I wrote on the outside of the box and and address to send it to. I packaged the mic and my original invoice from Amazon and shipped it off. I did have to pay my own shipping, but that was only a few bucks so I'm not complaining. A week later, a new mic showed up and it works great. Hopefully I won't be telling the same story in 3 months, but for now I'm pleased with the customer service provided by both Amazon and Samson. I certainly was not expecting a nearly free replacement and the whole process of troubleshooting was fairly quick. I gave 4 stars simply because I would have preferred to not need a replacement, but I am hopeful I had a random defective unit and this one will be better.

Very impressive little tripod/handle
First impressions of this little tripod/handle is how sturdy it feels, taking it out of the box it's immediately apparent that it's been very well made and everything on it feels well designed and built, the legs fit together seamlessly making a comfortable handle to use on phones, action cams and small digital cameras, and when you want to deploy the tripod it opens up at 2 different leg heights depending on how tall you need it and then the 4 section centre pole smoothly slides out to give almost 3 times the height of it fully stowed.It comfortably holds most smartphones in the included spring loaded cradle and the action cam mount and standard 1/4" mount screw holds the attachments and cameras firmly on the adjustable ball jointed swivel allowing for a lot of flexibility in positioning for a shot. To top it all off it even has a small cold shoe mount on the side of the swivel housing so you could attach a seperate microphone or light to enhance the setup.I'll be mainly using it for static photoshooting as a stable platform and for spotting scopes and mounting laser markers or anemometers but it's good to know it can handle so much more if needed.For the price asked this is a very versatile and useful little tool for whatever use you need it for, it's just as at home being used as a selfie stick or firmly mounting a camera for stable photoshoots without adding any extra bulk, you can happily throw it in a bag and you'd barely know it was there, genuinely impressed by this and how well it's made, in fact I have one that cost almost double this and I prefer this one, definitely worth a buy whatever your photography interests are.
