Please note I previously had the amazfit band 5 so I am used to the app along with its pros and cons, so just focusing on the watch. The battery on this is fantastic compared to the band. I only have to charge this every several days (at most/depending on usage). I have the following allowed for reference: calls, texts, Messenger, sleep tracking, email and Nest security camera notifications. I use it for all my workouts indoor and outdoor and it's fairly accurate on miles when compared to my Nike Run app, so more accurate I would say, in my opinion, than the amazfit band I had. I also use for bike rides.I mostly use this band to control music, log workouts, and receive notifications. I don't use the Alexa feature a whole lot, but tried it and it does work well and is responsive. I really love the find my phone feature, which the band also had, because I am always misplacing my phone. I use the side button feature to easily access the workout feature, find my phone, and music control and you can set up the order (in which they appear on the watch) of these features in the app. Good for small wrists like mine, which was an issue with the band that was too big on me. Looks way more stylish than I expected (even kept it on when going to a wedding, I have the white/ivory watch so it matched with my jewelry). Some negatives: it does irritate me a little on occasion but not sure if that's because I'm wearing it tighter than I should be. Sleep is not accurate as it tracks that I'm asleep even if I'm not fully asleep yet and just laying down waiting to start dozing off. However, I am very active and have a low resting heart rate so I wonder if that's why it thinks I'm asleep when I haven't dozed off yet. Please note this was also the case with the amazfit band. Not sure how accurate calories are when doing workouts as my Nike Run app tells me something significantly different (and don't know if the watch is the one that's wrong or if the Nike Run app is wrong), but I guess at the end of the day I don't rely on calorie count too much. Despite the negatives, overall very content with the watch after using it for almost a month.

This comes with two 3 button remotes and a keypad, which is an excellent value. I have an older red button for programming, but this works as advertised. My old keypad (square sided) buttons have been wearing out so I'm happy to have a replacement that will be more reliable. This works great!Programming is fairly easy, but follow the directions exactly. The part that kept tripping me up was when I had to select the type (ie Red/Orange Learn Button). I didn't realize I had to hit the enter button three times to get it to program because my model was #3 on the list. Once I did that, it all worked. And yes its in the directions and says that, it was just a step my brain didn't realize.One minor thing is the second screw hole aligns in a different position, but I have the previous generation design so this might be the way it is on this generation.Two extra tidbits of info to help you with the keypad:1. If you live in a cold climate, get a lithium 9v battery. They work in the super cold temps and will last years. The heavy duty included 9v battery will work fine in summer, but who knows when its zero degress out.2. I got these so my kids could get of the school bus and make it into the house. Since I have two garage bays, I installed one keypad on each bay. Same code, just different openers and doors. That way if one doesn't work for some reason your kids can still get in.Finally I don't need the remotes right now, but its really nice to have extras. These look way slicker than what I currently have, so I might change out to the new ones.Update: I forgot to check for power drain on standby (all the time its just sitting there doing nothing). I stuck it on my meter and was happy to see only 0.9 microamps (not miliamps). So it should not be significant in terms of battery life. That was a surprisingly good value. The 9V Ultimate Lithium is rated for 750ma hours (give or take). So one 9v lithium, although expensive should last years of normal use. Power draw during use seems to be less than 15ma. Overall no concerns.

I'm trying not to be so long winded in my reviews these days so I hope folks will find them more useful. Lets talk about the positives up front. When I first saw there was no mic arm I was worried that it would pick up way too much ambient sound. I'm happy to say that wasn't really the case. My voice sounded nice and clear and while there was some ambient sound pickup, it was far far less than I expected. The headphones are also incredibly light weight. Even after wearing for multiple hours, they were so light I really didn't feel any pain or discomfort. The audio was right on par for a set of gaming headphones at the $80ish price point. The whole Lightspeed wireless connectivity is pretty fantastic. Painless setup and have yet to occur a drop out. If I were a betting man, I'd say Lightspeed is the standout feature in this headset.Now on to the negatives. The build quality is pretty darn cheap. Lots of fairly flimsy plastic here. There is no interior lining inside the ear cups so all kind of gunk/dirt/dust is going to get inside them. The top strap has very little cushion. Basically a cloth band and you can feel some of the hard plastic up top. There is no 3.5mm headphone jack which I just hate. If your battery runs out it renders these headphones useless.Lastly I want to note these are pretty small headphones. Perfect for kids. Some adults with slightly bigger heads may not find these too comfortable. There isn't a ton of noise cancelling going on here. Of course there aren't any internal electronics for noise cancelling and the ear pads don't provide a ton of isolation.You might think after my review I wouldn't recommend them. Actually I do. The Lightspeed connectivity is pretty much the best on the market. If you have a smaller head I think you are going to love how light weight and comfortable they are. I would only not recommend if you have a larger head, are rough on your headphones or have demanding tastes in audio quality. In the end, these are a perfectly priced set of gaming headphones.

TL;DR: very good overall for listening and computer gaming. Minus one star for some fit problems and fatiguing treble. Albeit I don't have a point of reference so this rating lacks context.First time buying a pair of "good" headphones so I don't have another set to compare it to. Strongly considered the Sony 7506 and Audio Technica's ATH-m50x as well. The review site I found to be most helpful was Rtings and The Wire Cutter. The RTing's comments regarding the Sony 7506 build quality and several sites comments regarding the not as flat curve - boomier base in particular - of the ATH-m50x decided me on these. That and the ATH-m50x are ~$50 more.When I listen to music through these I hear additional nuance that I did not pick up with cheaper on ear head phones or ear buds. Harmonies in Simon and Garfunkel's The Boxer. Subtle keyboard in Tame Impala's The Less I Know the Better. Breaths and string picking in REM's Drive.Gaming with these works well for me. I am playing Enderal, the Skyrim mod, and I find that voices in particular are easier to understand. While the soundstage is not good, I have never owned a set of headphones where it was, so aside from the left / right working well I am not finding these to be better or worse for localizing sound either in games or listening in general.Fit is tight and I have a large head. Albeit I've only used these for roughly a dozen hours. In particular the top of my head gets a little sore after wearing for an hour or more and the over ear can sometimes become on ear. That stated, padding material feels good on my head. Observations from others that treble can sometimes be fatiguing holds true for me with things like cymbals and hi-hats, but I can solve that with the VLC equalizer for instance, so am not finding that to be a significant issue.As far as cords are concerned, I've only used the coiled cord with a computer, that I'm running through a USB KVM. I tried hooking up directly to a computer audio out as well and did not notice a difference. The coiled cord is large, but in practice has not been an issue for me. Have not used the carrying bag or amplifier adapter that also come with these.

When I got this watch I liked the way it looked. I was happy to try it. The setup was easy. I liked the graphics as well. It did not take me long to try it. I wore my other Fossil watch on my right and my GTR 3 on my left. I wanted to see if the accuracy was good. I was disappointed right away with the heart rate readings on my GTR 3 and that is the reason I gave it a 4 star rating. The heart rate reads high unless I do a quick reading. Then it reads normal. If it is loose on my wrist it always does a bad reading. Mostly on the high side. Other than that I really like this watch. I am still learning some of the features but I really enjoy wearing the watch.Pros:1. Great battery life. I wear it constantly and get 3 full weeks of life with all my apps working. My Fossil which I like, I had to charge everyday with most of the apps off. So the GTR 3 blew it out of the water.2. Great bright graphics. This watch can be seen anytime during the day. I have tried having it on all day and it just amazes me how good the graphics are. Having it on all day reduces the life but it is good.3. Very light on the wrist. Sometimes I forget I have the watch on.4. Great apps. The blood oxygen the PAI and the one tap measuring are great. Not the mention the stress feature. I really enjoy seeing how I am doing stress wise.5. The price. I got this watch on sale which is a lot better. I wanted to buy the square version but I am happy with this one.6. It comes with Alexa. Unfortunately my Alexa feature is a bit sketchy. Sometimes it work and sometimes it does not.Cons:1. Heart Rate monitoring. It works great when doing a quick reading but throughout the day it always reads higher. Sometimes in the 100's even when you are sitting down doing nothing. Crazy reading out of nowhere.2. The watch faces are limited. I wish there were more interesting faces but it is not bad at all. There are a few that I like and stick to them. But I like options.I really recommend this watch if you are tired of charging your more expensive watches everyday. I have gone away from my Galaxy and Fossil watches. They cost me a lot and now they collect dust. This watch replaced them all.

I always liked listening to audiobooks while falling to sleep, and I only these headphones make it comfortable to wear while lying sideways on a pillow. Since I purchased them I use them everyday and I find them comfortable, useful, and practical.I'm impressed with the sound quality and the comfort of the fabric.The sound comes from small circular speakers about 2 cm in diameter which are hidden underneath the fabric, and every time you put these headphones on you have to adjust these circles until they lie over your ears. When you sleep on your side your ears do feel some pressure from the lying on top of the small speakers and it is slightly uncomfortable, but I am still able to fall asleep wearing these headphones.Because the sound comes from small speakers, the person lying next to you can hear a tiny bit of noise, more than they would hear from other styles of headphones like "Over the ear" or "Ear buds", but it has not bothered my sleep partner yet.The estimated battery life of 9 hours is accurate. I find they can last me at most two nights, even though I'm not listening for 4.5 hours a night, but I commonly leave the audiobook running after I fall asleep which drains the battery.There are 3 buttons. The ON-OFF button functions as expected, but the two volume control buttons are annoying to use as it is very difficult to adjust the volume by exactly one level. To adjust the volume, you must LONG PRESS the button for about a second, but if you continue to hold it the volume will continue to go lower/higher. So you have to hold the button for exactly right amount of time to adjust the volume by one position, and if you hold it too short, it will FAST FORWARD instead, and if you hold it too long, it will adjust multiple levels.The designers could have solved this problem by making the VOLUME button adjust with a single press... and have the TRACK FORWARD with a long press.I would absolutely recommend buying these to anyone who wants to sleep with headphones on. I only pointed out several drawbacks because they are small imperfections that could be improved in the next version, and I hope the manufacturers read this review.

The noise cancellation is amazing on these. I can barely hear anything outside of the headphones even with no sound. The mic is good, picks up well, the little foam cover is good for the outside noise cancellation for your chat. The fact the mute button is under that; not a fan because the foam thing falls off, I'd glue it on, but then, no easy mute. If you look at pictures you already know where the mic sits & that it does not store; just a reminder, you can't complain about something you know when you buy (pet peeve of mine.) Ok, Sound: chat sounds great once you get the volumes between you, game system and friend set up, lol, then when you change games, start over, same as most. It's not much different in that sense. Sounds in game: I hear things I hadn't heard before, however, the volume on the headset itself, not enough! It really does not do enough. You have to go into system settings and game settings to really get sounds loud. I was a bit bummed about that. Because of my last point Comfort: the most comfortable headset I've put on my head less than 40$ just wow. I get headaches easy from headsets especially from wearing glasses & even the tops of my ears will hurt after a very short time with other headsets because they're just crushing my head and ears. The way these are designed to more hang on your head, so much less pressure, so comfortable; I can wear them for hours, which is the point. ...... I have a theory actually that the sound issue is because they don't crush your ears and head & some sound gets lost out of the sides, but, I have no scientific evidence to support this or instruments to study it, lol. In all, I'm happy with them. The headache/earache alone is awesome. Even with sound being a bit less than I'd hoped, I could hear things I hadn't before, I had only used tv speakers before, then sound bar. And the outside is so soft, I know it's not that important, but I like touching them, cuz they're soft. Lol.

Overall, this is a great system for most anyone needing 1 or 2 wireless mics for event videography, vlogging, or other applications where wired mics aren't practical. The build quality is very good, with the enclosures having a durable rubberized coating and belt-clips. The receiver's belt clip also doubles as a hot-shoe mount for your camera. Audio quality is quite respectable, and gain is adjustable in several increments. A low-cut filter can be selected if needed. Zero latency monitoring via the receiver's headphone jack is also a plus. The system also includes 2 lapel/lav mics with tie/lapel clips, and 2 foam windscreens, plus 2 furry wind filters. Range is stated to be up to 168 feet although I've not yet tested that. I can say that 90 feet (or more) is realistic in most any situation. The various control buttons are laid out nicely and are easy to learn. The units will pair automatically when powered up, and if not, there's manual pairing as well. The internal batteries are good for 5 hours or more and fast-charging both transmitters and the receiver simultaneously is a simple process thanks to the included USB charge cable with 3 output plugs. So at this price point, the SYNCO system seems to be a worthy competitor to the higher priced Rode system.All of that being said, what's not to like? Well, there are a few cons which for many users probably wouldn't be a deal breaker. 1) Keep in mind that because the system uses internal Li-ion batteries, it's not possible to get a depleted unit immediately up and running with a physical battery swap. However, you can fast-charge the system to 50% power in about 40 minutes. 2) Also, there's no audio level display/meter, so you'll need to check the meter on your camera (or mixer) to make sure you're receiving audio, and that the levels are right. Of course that should be standard procedure regardless. 3) Lastly, the included furry windscreens are effective in reducing wind noise if you're using the integrated mic, but they use a snap-in mount that can be accidentally dislodged by your subject (the person wearing the transmitter) if they're not mindful of that.I've never contacted the manufacturer, but I've heard they offer email support as needed. So overall, the SYNCO system seems like a great value!
