The APEKX Bluetooth Headphones are truly awesome. At this price point, these are perfect for workouts, taking calls / zooms or just listening to music. I bought these for my wife for her workouts, but I always test drive all the new gadgets regardless of who they are for in our household. For years I have used many Bluetooth headphones in varying designs. Some that wrap around your head, wear around your neck or are tethered by a chord. I very much appreciate the individual / independent design of these. I have also tried similar Bluetooth earbuds, but have had issue with fit / design or they get dislodged after vigorous movement, not to mention cost. These are snug and come with 3 different size ear caps and 2 different sized silicone ear hooks, so they’ve got you covered if they don’t fit right out of the box.The comfort level aside, the sound is enormous – deep bass, clear mids and crisp highs. I listen to a variety of different music – rock, folk, R&B, soul, pop and hip hop and everything sounds huge. For listening to podcasts and using for zoom meetings, they continue to impress. I often use a single earbud for calls, and I like this versatility as opposed to the designs that I currently use. The controls take a bit to get used to, but I know after a few weeks of wearing, this will not be an issue. They come with a convenient charging case that has a 4 LED battery level display that shows charging levels – 25% to 100%.I definitely recommend if you are looking to move from the “wireless” but attached / paired design and don’t want to pay boutique prices. I’m thinking about getting a second pair for myself.

I have never had a Go-Pro TYPE camera before so didn't want to spend the money they charge. I chose this one because of the good reviews. I like the fact it comes with a remote. I will be wearing on my helmet while horseback riding. Did a test run and the video quality is very good. The still picture quality is good but not great. I will save those for taking with my iPhone. A few notes; If your helmet is curved, you will need to buy a curved helmet attachment. Only the flat ones come with the camera. The user manual has to be downloaded. I did so to my tablet and phone so I could take it with me on vacation in case I didn't remember how to do something. If you are not familiar with this type of camera, read the step by step in the user manual to get it set up. It does not do a good job at explaining how to use the attachments. I had to watch a few YouTube videos for that. The remote is great. If you are videoing, you can press the picture button and it turns the video off and takes a picture, and visa a versa. If you plan on using with a helmet, get the model with the remote so you don't have to reach up and figure out what button you are touching. The App they recommend downloading is just ok. They do not explain how to use that either. Had to read some reviews for the app to figure out some things. And it is very slow. All and all I am happy with this camera and would recommend. I will not be buying a GoPro, can't imagine it is any better than this one!

Update: I talked with customer service and I guess it needs a 30 second button hold to reset. So if your screen ever goes blank, try plugging it in and holding down the button for 30 seconds.I need a simple to use "smart" watch for work. I can't have my volume or vibrate on on my phone but need to be able to know when someone is calling/texting at all times because being available constantly is part of my job. I really don't want to splurge on an expensive Samsung watch so decided to give this a try first.I loved it for the first week or so. I was finally able to keep up with all of the texts and calls without my phone making noise constantly.However, the screen went blank completely and I figured the battery was dead but I can't seem to revive it. The screen shows that it's charging and I've let it charge for a while now. I can't get it to turn back on. I've tried holding the button down for 10+ seconds and have tried a combo of button taps. I've rotated it a bunch and tried to reconnect through the app but nothing seems to be working.I think it is dead. After just over a week. No water has ever touched it. I'm not doing any hard labor while wearing it (so no banging it against things). It just seems to have stopped suddenly.Sometimes when I disconnect the charger, the charging icon keeps moving on the screen. So I think there is something wrong with the battery sensor.

After trying a few in-the-ear earphones I decided to try these over the ear design. I am very happy with them and my only negative is the volume is not super loud. That's to say they are loud enough to enjoy and since my main reason to get this design was so I can hear what's going on around me while still enjoying my music, so they are perfect for this intention.They are super lightweight - so much so that I've forgotten I was wearing them even when I had paused my music. Battery life is excellent. Last me all day and quickly recharge for next time. It was nice that they came with a small charge cable. They also came with earplugs, but I haven't had a need for them but will save them should I ever need.The price is very reasonable for a really good product. I'd buy them again and would recommend them as well.**UPDATE **. After having these a while and using them many times for casual listening and now for working out on my new elliptical, I am very happy with them. I'm able to control the music (pause, skip fwd or back, and volume) very easily. The button controls are very intuitive and easy to press. They are spaced far enough apart that my fingers only press what I was expecting. The IP rating means I can wash them safely after each workout and not worry about any water damage to the controls or speakers.I have to reiterate - I'm very happy with these and highly recommend them if you're planning to use them like me.

The value for money with this camera is amazing. The images and videos are great, the screen is crisp and bright, battery life is fine. The remote just works without any complex pairing. Compared to my old GoPro Hero 3 HD this is a huge upgrade.Why not 5 stars? For me it's a few small issues that add up.I used this snowboarding attached to my helmet and I can't see the viewfinder, obviously. This is where my GoPro was a better option than the Akasa1) The wifi viewfinder option for the Akasa can only be enabled by touchscreen and is on/off. So to determine the right mount angle on the helmet I need to take off the helmet, open the case, enable the touchscreen, put on the helmet, check the wifi viewfinder, adjust the mount angle, take off the helmet, open the case, disable the touchscreen. Phew! And i need to repeat that if i fall and knock the mount.2) The remote is just toggle buttons for photo and video. There's no feedback on the current state so it's not possible to determine if pressing the button will start or stop.3) The beep sounds that signal starting and stopping recording are too quiet on full volume while in the case and wearing a helmet on an exposed mountain. GoPro was a lot louder.Another issue I had was I knocked the mount with my arm and it snapped very easily, I nearly lost the camera in the snow. The plastic used in the mounts seems poorer quality than the GoPro mounts but I can't expect much given the overall value of the package and I will just use my official GoPro mounts which are interchangeable.I would buy this again. I can't justify $250+ more spend to get a GoPro and resolve these issues.

No wireless charging, folks. I didn't realize this until after I made the purchase. I had the Bose QuietComfort first gen (which had wireless charging) and really loved how they fit and sounded; fit is critical here. I also have a pair of Apple AirPods Pro 2nd Gen and these just don't fit my ears, even after trying non-OEM ear tips.Back to these new QuietComfort II: still no wireless charging, but at least it charges with USB-C. I did have to deduct a star from my rating here for this reason, which pains me slightly because I do love everything else about them.The sound is outstanding, as is the noise canceling. When in 'Aware' mode the noise canceling will adjust to load noises in the environment. It works very well. These new in-ears come with tips and bands in three sizes each to fine-tune the fit. After trying the various options, I found that the large ear tips and the #2 bands are the best combination for me. They are very comfortable, even after wearing for long periods.The last thing to mention is the physical size of the ear buds and the case; both are significantly smaller than first gen! Also, the case on the first gen had the lid snap down to close. The small plastic part on the lid of the case that clicks in was a weak spot that actually broke on me. Bose replaced the entire set under warranty for this reason. Standing behind their products is another reason to go with Bose! The redesign of the 2nd gen removes that weak spot. I would still recommend these buds over the many other options even without wireless.

I'm loyal to very few brands, but Bose is one of them. The noise cancellation is top-notch, as is the sound quality. I wasn't sure how I would like the tapping on the headphones to pause and use volume control, but it's turned out to be quite a convenient feature. I love the wireless feature, and the range is very decent. Without having my phone in my pocket, I can listen to music or a book and walk around most of my house without losing sound quality at all.My only first-world-problem gripes are:1- you have to download the app just to use the noise cancellation aspect. Not a huge deal, but if someone is buying these headphones just to cancel out the world for a while and never use them for audio, I can see where that would be irritating because not everyone has a smartphone or tablet. (Hard to believe, I know, but it's true)2- these headphones are not nearly as comfortable as my Quiet Comfort headphones. The padding on the top band irritates my head after a while and I feel like these headphones are a bit tighter and start to squish my head after wearing them for a while. And I have a fairly small dome. If you have a larger head (and you know who you are, just be honest with yourself), these probably will be even less comfortable for you.3- they're definitely heavier than I was expecting. If you plan on using these while doing any kind of work where you have to look down a bunch, like say, gardening or mechanical work, they will likely slide on you. Even though they also squish your head, they're heavy enough to slide too.

These headphones were recommended to me by my best friend who owns a pair and said he absolutely loves them. I bought them skeptically, not knowing how good they would be for their price and having read some of the negative reviews.However, after using them for about a month, they are pretty amazing considering they're pretty cheap. I'll address a couple of the common complaints about them.-"Ear pads are insulated too well and make my ears hot and sweaty."Yes, this can happen, but only in certain situations. I've found that it only happens for me when I'm working out, outside in the heat, or just put them on after being in the shower. And even then, the heat and sweatiness isn't that bad.-"Heard strange crackling sound when ANC was on."I havne't had this problem at all. I've noticed that when I turn my head away from a source of noise while ANC is engaged, you are able to hear more of the source than when you're facing directly towards it. Other than that, the ANC isn't perfect, but given the pricetag, it's pretty dang good.Overall the headphones fit snuggly and I'm able to wear them for hours at a time without them hurting my ears or running out of battery. Preferrably don't wear glasses while wearing these for too long though because they'll press the glasses into the sides of your head and that gets uncomfortable after a while.Worth every penny.. would recommend.
