I got the Blaze in early March right when it came out. I've been wearing it daily since then and love it so far. The best thing is the battery life is phenomal, I only need to charge it about once a week. I have a very small wrist and was concerned about the size of the face. It actually feels better on my wrist than the charge HR did because of the joints where the charge HR is one piece. It does look large on my wrist but it doesn't bother me. I had an android phone when I first bought this and the notifications on the blaze didn't work. When I bought an iPhone 6 recently the notifications have worked without issues. The screen is really user friendly and I love the stopwatch and timer feature (works great for baking when I leave the kitchen). The heart rate monitor, and sleep monitor work just as well as in the charge HR. I bought the leather band at the same time as the Blaze and it was fairly easy to swap out, but I wouldn't want to do it daily. The face pops out easily to charge - I initially was concerned with removing it requently to charge, i was concerned it would effect its durability and wear it down to wear it might slip out on it own- this is the not case at all, it retains its structure.Great watch, easy to use, looks nicer than the past models, great battery life.

If you want a Wear OS watch, this is your ticket. I had a 2018 TicWatch Pro and was really happy with it, but it was really starting to slow down, and the battery life was suffering. Upgrading to this guy with the new Snapdragon 4100 was a HUGE improvement. I use it for daily steps tracking, pacing and exercise tracking, notifications throughout the day, weather, and timers. Everything is fast and responsive, and the dual-screen feature is amazing. Battery lasts all day no problem, and I'm able to accomplish so much without taking my phone out of my pocket. I love the overall look and lighter weight of the watch and feel comfortable wearing it on a run or going out on a date wearing it with a nice shirt. The easily changeable standard watchbands also help; I got a second brown leather band for my previous TicWatch and it fits nicely on this watch and looks great for special occasions.I have three less-than-stellar issues with the watch that knock the one star off my rating. The first is that it refuses to actually enable Do Not Disturb at night. Even though I have the setting on, and have turned off all notifications related to alarms on the watch, it still vibrates and rings while charging next to my head in the morning when my phone alarm goes off. I have a very pleasant rising volume alarm on my phone, and I don't need, nor want, my watch to chime in with its very shrill full-volume buzzing. My workaround has been to put it in airplane mode at night. A minor annoyance, but when I forget to do that, it is very disturbing in the morning. If there's a better workaround, I have yet to find it.My second complaint is that using TicExcercise during runs is super helpful and informative, it's one of the main reasons I have the watch, but I hate the notifications that pop up throughout the run to tell me my pace, or if I need to slow down or speed up. These seem good in theory, but then after that notification, the watch screen defaults back to the home screen. This means I have to take time during my run to press the bottom right button to bring back the exercise app. It seems minor, but every moment counts when you're focused on running, and when I look down at my watch I'm expecting quick glanceable high-value info; distracting myself away from that focus 5+ times during a run to reset my screen is pretty frustrating.Lastly, the third issue I experience is the fault of Google. They broke the Google Assistant's compatibility with the Messages app on Wear OS last year, and texting on this watch is more cumbersome than it should be, so I rarely do it. I'd love to just hold down the top button and tell Google to text someone, but I get a sad cloud when I do this. If Mobvoi could design a workaround, or work with Google to fix this, I'd be a very happy customer.

I've had a hard time finding BT devices that maintain a reliable connection to my phone (I know, I know...it could be the phone, which is a 9+). However, my search continues and brought me to these. They are easy to set up and use, and on a first use gave me coverage for a 45-min phone call while walking. Best level of reliability, comfort, and sound quality so far out of four different brands and designs.Initial pluses: tactile controls - I am so sick of touch-sensitive controls which create difficulties when your skin is dry or when wearing gloves; intuitive controls - everything is located where it makes sense to have them (for a right-handed person, at least); and comfort - the arrangement around the neck is surprisingly comfortable and the ear buds stay in place I think because of the lack of weight dangling on them.Initial minuses: rechargeable - Lord knows how long this will last - where is the genius who makes one of these w/ disposable batteries?; battery level indicator - you have to put the unit on and listen to know the battery level (low, med, or high - what that means in runtime remains to be seen); and sound quality adjustments - the tone function has three preset adjustments (lots of bass, some bass, and tinny).I'm satisfied so far but remain skeptical for now. Like I said up top, it could be the phone...

The media could not be loaded.


















 ABSOLUTELY IN LOVE WITH THIS WATCH!!!! If you're looking for a all-around amazing watch that comes with zero headaches, here's one I'd strongly recommend. The battery life does last 3 days as stated; which was surprising given that I put most of the features to track my vitals & activities for 24 hours & my busy business schedule comes with many notifications, messages, emails & calls (I love making calls on the watch). The processor is much faster than I expected, it flows through each screen with ease, responds to your voice quickly & seamlessly maintains connection with your phone. I find the features super helpful like TicSleep (which is helping me improve my sleep by keeping me aware of my quality of sleep), TicZen (my business schedule can get stressful so it's good to be aware of when you should relax), & TicHearing (I'm in many noisy environments throughout my day so checking this on the app later is interesting). Not to mention, the watch is incredibly comfortable! Even wearing it to bed didn't cause any issues. The strap is silicon with a sick design & the watch is so light you kind of forget you have it on. The display can be very bright if you need it to be (perfect for sunny California, especially with the dual display) & dim but elegant at night. This is definitely the perfect watch for me & I would strongly suggest you trying it out yourself!

Credentials: have used/owned the sennheiser hd558 (open back/wired), momentum 1 (closed back/wired), pcx550 (closed back/wireless) and now this very sensible/practical looking closed back/wireless momentum 4 (also have the fidelio and some other random philips in the past while had gotten the in-ear wired momentums for wife but never used them myself..also have used Sony, Bose, AKG, BnO but not ones which can be reasonably compared with these...I hear Sonys comparative model has better ANC but I can't comment)...so far so good..preliminary-have been using them since 11Oct2022 so a 2 day review, for what its worth:Pros: build is robust, very durable/flexible (so far) but in Fiji's temperate tropics things/textiles tear down quicker at times but with good care, I believe these cans will last well enough (the materials feel of quality in usual sennheiser fashion). Looks are welcome as mine is black and I like the no nonsense practical appearance (don't really miss the previous urban momentum look since it's irrelevant because merit, or performance is key). These cans have an awesome sound stage and music is crisp and bassy (on Windows PC, and android devices..not into apple yet), handles all sorts of music (pop, rock, alt, classical, instrumental, country, reggae, edm, techno/trance) very well. Calls are clear, has a decent mic and touch controls are snappy/responsive (much better than my older pcx). Bluetooth is the latest so not detailing that (overall, no connectivity issues on Windows or android). Can be used as wireless or wired and for me the battery has so far performed well (arrived at 40% charge, has usbC so fast charging and hasn't run out of juice since charging it 100%...is now at 60% with an uptime of about 21 hours playing music, PC gaming and youtubing. No issues with long wearing as pads on both ears are comfy as is the head padding and no uncomfortable ear heating for me so far (had slept for 06hrs after wearing them for 09hrs l, then on again when awake). ANC is decent and noticeable but am not experienced on this but can't complain.Cons: expensive for Fiji dollars given current exchange rates vis-a-vis USD pricing and shipping plus import duty but not a deal breaker as a worthwhile buy if using regularly where sound quality is more important than saving money.Bottom line: would recommend if for quality music and gaming sounds and also excellent mobile/handsfree experience but not if you're looking for a studio level audiophile experience obviously (Snape voice). Buy it if you want quality wireless, all rounder headphones and can part with a modest amount as there are cheaper as well as dearer cans, but for what they are and do, the momentum 4 wireless cans are simply the best (Le Tina Turner vibes).

Love this pack, especially for the simplicity of this attractive yet no-frills sling pack. It's all black, look good and I don't mind wearing this while traveling. I'm 6'2" 200 lbs and it feels like a perfect size for me. Not too big at all. And yet it will fit my new iPad Air which lays flat along the front of the bag without any need to adjust the inserts. There is no difficulty whatsoever of laying it in position above the inserts and closing the zipper. And the front flap has good padding to protect. But again, taking the iPad Air in this position is just for traveling, which I do a lot. And this is my only carry-on. I can fit a DSLR and 3 lenses if I so choose. But usually when travelling, I take a Sony RX10 and a Sony RX100M2 along with the iPad Air, a Smartphone, chargers and batteries, and various other gadgets such as a Verizon 4G hotspot. I usually place a lot of the loose stuff in the cases that are made for portable hard drives and place these cases within the pack when travelling.I generally don't mind spending a few bucks for good gear but I really believe this pack is worth every penny of its low price and seems to me to be easily worth more. It's very comfortable to wear and I'll be buying more as soon as they are available again (it looks like they are on back-order as of this writing) and leaving them in certain destinations that I travel to. For this price, that is easy to do.

TLDR it's a good deal for 53 bucks which was the price when I bought these headphones.Pros:-Soft ear cushions and soft cushion on top of headband = comfortable for wearing for long periods-The battery life is unbelievably long; I've never run out of charge. I can charge them for an hour or 2 and they're good to use for the rest of the day. Huge change from the airpods I was using for wireless listening.-Bluetooth pairing is simple, no issues yet.-Controlling volume up/down, pausing, skipping and previous track controls all work great.-There's noise cancelling. You can also use NC when using the aux cord! (The noise cancelling kinda sucks though)-It comes with an aux cable, 3.5 mm each side I think. Nice for when you don't want to do wireless. The cable is short but at least it comes with one-Wearing these headphones looks good, its a simple design but I'm a fanCons:-Aux cable is short, and it's connected to the right side of the headphones. A con for me due to how my computer's ports are set up but maybe it won't be an issue for you, and if it is luckily 3.5 mm aux cables are pretty cheap.-Sound quality is a bit muffled, but not to the point where it bothered me. If sound quality is your number 1 priority for mixing and audio production, look for a different pair of headphones. These get the job done for listening to tunes, podcasts, gaming, etc.-The noise cancelling is weak, worked well sometimes but other times it kinda makes the audio sound choppy, like imagine how it sounds when you speak through a fan with blades spinning, your voice can sound chopped up. That can happen to the audio when you turn on the NC sometimes, maybe 50% of the time when you turn on Noise Cancelling. It's harder to notice when you increase the volume of the music/ whatever you're listening to but this NC might be annoying to some who may need to use noise cancelling constantly. Luckily you can turn off the NC if you don't need to use it, and it improves the sound quality when you turn it off and improves battery life I believe.The cons aren't bothersome enough for me to take off a star. I never take the time to write reviews on Amazon since I dislike writing, unless I really enjoy the product. I've been using these headphones for over 6 months and they've been working fantastic, way above my expectations. Gradually, I started to get the feeling of "Hey... these headphones are pretty great... maybe I should let others know about a decent product from amazon cuz heck, I've been tricked into buying s****y products because of fake amazon reviews all the time". So there you go, hope this info can help someone out

I have had a Fitbit Blaze for about one week. I have not had any fitness watches before, so I can't make any comparisons. In fact, I wasn't wearing a watch before getting the Blaze, so I have spent a week switching from checking my phone for the time to checking this thing on my wrist. I was pretty concerned about getting the Blaze because of how massive it looks in photos and I am a thin bird-boned female. When I received it, it is indeed very massive, but somehow it works on my wrist. I am not even wearing the band at the tightest possible. So ladies, it can work, but I do recommend swapping out the band for the aesthetics (a cool feature).The Blaze has some nice features. I found myself obsessed with the heart rate function throughout the day and have actually gleaned some interesting insights on how alcohol or coffee affect my heart rate. I have also been enlightened by the pedometer feature (disappointingly so--darn it, desk job!). There are other features that are fun--it tracks exercise, sleep, stairs climbed, etc. I can't say I actively use all of the other functions (for example, I still prefer my Sleep as Android sleep tracking). That said, the Fitbit app is like a centralized place to monitor my daily habits.The cellphone pairing feature is pretty nifty also. It is so great when I am out and about with my phone in my purse and I can read texts and decide whether I want to answer calls without having to dig around for my phone. I have turned off the vibrate function on my phone because there is no need for my purse to be vibrating while my wrist is also vibrating. There is only like a one second delay between phone getting a notification and the Fitbit buzzing. Also, you can set the Fitbit to respond to Messages, Hangouts, or Whatsapp (I have an Android so don't know about Apple pairing), but you can only pick one of them.Couple things that have bothered me: Sometimes the HR cuts out for no reason (I sent in a note to Fitbit, so we'll see what they say). The watch doesn't seem to pick up airplane sleeping (I've only tested this twice so far). Right after the shower, if I put the Blaze on right away (I'm thinking before my wrist fully dries), I get a little bit of an allergic reaction; but this doesn't happen if I put the Blaze on pretty loosely, nor does it happen when I am exercising. I'll have to see if this is an issue with a different band. Little pieces of lint sometimes get caught in that space between the frame and the watch face. I wish it had reminders to move.All in all, I am liking my new life with a fitness watch.
