2 | C501 Network Error of Death | A C501 error ("There was an unexpected problem. C501") has been the bain of my existence for the 80 hours I have owned this high potential, but not ready for prime time device. The error seems to be the connection between tivo homebase and my device. The device only partially works in this state (multiple other reviewers have mentioned this issue).<br /><br />My program guide works fine, I can record individual shows BUT I can't:<br /><br />-Start a season pass, that is, record a program regularly (flashes and goes back to guide)<br /><br />-Access the "What to Watch Now"<br /><br />-Stream anything (icons are missing from "Find TV, Movies & Video")<br /><br />-Search for anything<br /><br />I tried trouble shooting with Tivo support on 3 calls, tried to use a wired ethernet connection, called my DSL and reviewed my router to make sure the right ports are open (passes all the network test from Tivo) and still no solution. Everything else on my network is working perfectly.<br /><br />It appears that many others have had a similar issue from the Tivo Help Forums.<br /><br />I am getting very frustrated, will return this if they can't help soon. I thought a company like Tivo would have it together, loosing confidence. Some have reported success with having Tivo cancel the account and re-register the device on a new account. I am going to try that before returning this. Having said all that, it looks like a nice device, if it would work!<br /><br />Stars Info:<br />4 stars for functional device<br />1 star for setup issues/tech support who does not understand the problem<br />=2 overall | [{'small_image_url': 'https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51o+1eaStrL._SL256_.jpg', 'medium_image_url': 'https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51o+1eaStrL._SL800_.jpg', 'large_image_url': 'https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51o+1eaStrL._SL1600_.jpg', 'attachment_type': 'IMAGE'}] | B00EEOSZK0 | B00EEOSZK0 | AG7SZNI6RX2GCC5ASL525DL3RVKQ | 1,399,610,000,000 | 9 | true | Positive |
4 | An excellent choice of a snartwatch is you are willing to get the refurbished | In the market for a smart watch I was bombarded with choices from the Apple watch to a plethora of Android watches. In the past I had actually bought one of the $20 smart watches and although I was actually glad with the quality for the price I needed an upgrade. Since I am an avid samsung supporter I definitely wanted on of the gear series. The sport version was nice but I just really liked the look of the classic but I wasn't crazy about the price so I chose to get the refurbished.<br /><br />Starting with the downsides one stands out, the charger it comes with. If you have even glanced at the reviews you can see this trend. I ordered two, the reason I will get to later, and both chargers broke after a few charges. So if you are buying this also be prepared to but a new charger. Another downside that I personally experienced was a faulty wristband but I exchanged the watch and got a not broken wristband which is the reason I got two. The watch ring is also less tactile than a non-refurbished one but this isn't a big deal. After that though it is all good.<br /><br />The watch interface is very acclaimed with the wheel navigation and it's ease. I can easily vouch for this. The wheel is very easy to use and I actually find myself just spinning it for fun while I'm bored. It is, in my opinion, much better than the Apple watch crown on the side. The OS is an enjoyable experience. You can add widgets and apps which can make for lighting fast navigation and use of the watch. I would also suggest the 3g version because it has a speaker which makes you look like Inspector Gadget and is useful if you don't have your phone because you can use it without it. The watch is also essentially a fit bit with health features like heart rate monitor and step counter just to name a few. All of this is in a form factor that makes it feel like a normal comfortable watch. Finally is the battery. It easily charges overnight and can last me up to two daya is need be whixh is surprising for such a small watch. Now for a visual list of pros and cons.<br /><br />Pros<br /><br />Easy OS with plenty of features that can keep you busy for hours<br />The size isn't overpowering and sits on the wrist comfortable<br />It acts as a functional phone with or without a phone<br />It functions as a great watch with a huge selection of faces<br />Ease.of use with the wheel<br />A battery life that can last for two days<br /><br />Cons<br /><br />A charger that will most likely be faulty<br />A wheel that is less tactile than a new one<br />A wristband that's quality is less than a new one<br /><br />So in conclusion the watch is a very useful and versatile piece of tech that is on my wrist almost every day. I love the watch and the refurbished version can save you $100. | [{'small_image_url': 'https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/71KJloukHeL._SL256_.jpg', 'medium_image_url': 'https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/71KJloukHeL._SL800_.jpg', 'large_image_url': 'https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/71KJloukHeL.jpg', 'attachment_type': 'IMAGE'}, {'small_image_url': 'https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/71LmYfPhq1L._SL256_.jpg', 'medium_image_url': 'https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/71LmYfPhq1L._SL800_.jpg', 'large_image_url': 'https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/71LmYfPhq1L.jpg', 'attachment_type': 'IMAGE'}] | B01M8QGKX4 | B01M8QGKX4 | AGPGUNWUM6L2TRO35NFZGZA22W6Q | 1,496,290,000,000 | 11 | true | Positive |
4 | Great Backup Camera - Limited Rear View for Driving | Being a first time RVer I wanted to make sure I was operating safely so I picked this unit up for my Rockwood 2504S (about a 26' travel trailer). First its a backup camera and it functions wonderfully in that capacity. You get a fairly wide top down view of your trailer rear. The only blind spot you really have is any elevated objects (like tree branches or the gutter system on your home) above the camera mount point are difficult to see. In terms of the width of view if you can imagine traveling in the center of the 3 lane road at even with your trailer bumper you can see the out side edges of lane 1 and 3. There is a fisheye look at the extreme edges like that but it's useful for knowing if your bumper is clear and can make a lane change. The bad part about this unit is the viewing angle makes this useless as a rear view mirror. You can only see maybe 10 feet at most away from your bumper. The view is mostly the back of your trailer and the immediate surrounding ground space. Overall I am happy with the purchase and would likely purchase again. | [] | B017P8H7BO | B017P8H7BO | AHDILCFGG2MLJFUTX3SAE76UYRCQ | 1,466,520,000,000 | 17 | true | Positive |
5 | get's the job done! | Excellent product. Just a simple plug and play. Quickly found our POE devices (cameras) and instantly provided the correct power. We were very concerned that there would be enough power for each camera and there was. The power requirement was Class 3 which means it had to provide 15 watts of available power per each POE port. (We were advised that this is very important.) It was hard to find a POE switch that provided the correct amount of wattage budget we required. Most manufactures are a little bit secretive about revealing the total watt output for the POE ports. The Netgear switch was placed in a position after a DHCP router. And it handles our IP cameras great using just a Cat5. Also, manages the non-POE devices easily and interfaces with our larger ethernet switch. Some reviews said it was a bit noisy, but this is not obvious in our home run room. We have not used the gigabit ports.<br />We think the unit is worth the extra expense. | [] | B0009WRU8O | B0009WRU8O | AGZKCK644ZPVR7P2ROO4EHGFJJSA | 1,253,320,000,000 | 10 | true | Positive |
4 | This is the Droid You're Looking For | This is the droid you're looking for. If you're like me, your old trusty Sony Discman bit the dust after serving faithfully for, like, over 10 years. And, unlike all of your friends, you STILL listen to CDs. AND, your head is spinning with all the choices of the different cheap portable CD players on here. This one just plain works. I've bought a few on here this past summer, and there was something wrong with each one -- there was even one that cut off the first two seconds of each song. Imagine that: a device whose only function is to play music, and it can't even do that right. After a few weeks with this one, I haven't encountered any problems. The sound is fine, nothing gets cut off, headphones work smoothly with it. I doubt this will last as long as my dear departed Sony Discman (2002-2017 R.I.P.), but it's the best choice we have, IMHO. | [] | B07231FB9F | B07231FB9F | AH2FCIDZWCDMCH4TAUKPGM72AGTQ | 1,504,110,000,000 | 155 | true | Positive |
4 | Functional Cover | I just purchased a Chromebook a couple of weeks ago and thought that some sort of protective cover might be in order. I don't drop my electronics routinely, but it gets bumped when put away in a drawer or cabinet, or when being carried and I just wanted something to keep it relatively safe. In the past, I have owned a MacBook Air and I purchased a similar cover for it. What I liked better about the MBA cover was that it was more matte and not as slippery to the touch. I don't understand why companies make things to protect the exterior of electronics and then make them of a slippery plastic substance. This one isn't as bad as others, but if (like me) you lose your grip easily, I'd prefer something more matte. Slippery quality aside, I do like the cover. It snapped on easily (and I am about as inept as they come with such things) and gave a bit of color to an otherwise boring white machine. The price wasn't bad either, so I'm happy with the purchase. | [] | B00HD18NGW | B00HD18NGW | AGNMCIKXN7QX4E3XSDYXXIF2QHUA | 1,392,430,000,000 | 7 | true | Positive |

5 | Very happy with the new Extreme line, great value for the money | I purchased this card for use with a Canon 5D Mark II DSLR and compared to the Extreme 3 cards that I owned prior to this, the increase in speed is noticeable. I wasn't really able to notice any difference in-camera (I don't usually shoot at high frame rates) and recording 1080p video at 30fps works fine on both cards, but I did notice an increase in transfer speeds with my UDMA enabled USB2 card reader. I can realistically transfer 1.5GB of files in about 40 seconds (transferring to a 7200RMP firewire 800 hard drive on my Mac) To transfer those same files from the Extreme III card, it takes about 53 seconds. Definitely not 2x as fast, but technically this card costs less than the Extreme III! So, for the money, I am satisfied. Highly recommended. | [{'small_image_url': 'https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/612d0v6Yx1L._SL256_.jpg', 'medium_image_url': 'https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/612d0v6Yx1L._SL800_.jpg', 'large_image_url': 'https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/612d0v6Yx1L._SL1600_.jpg', 'attachment_type': 'IMAGE'}] | B002PLK1UQ | B002PLK1UQ | AF2GIXTZHOQCK4MJMKRE55PI3VTA | 1,268,340,000,000 | 24 | true | Positive |
1 | Don't do it! | Purchased September 17,2016. Tablo support could not get this Tablo to connect and told me I needed a new hard drive.Got a new hard drive and it still wouldn't connect. They sent me Tablo #2. Now it's October. This one worked OK for 3 months, then is started powering it's self down at least 4 times a week. After several reboots of the Tablo and the Router, it worked for about a month. 2 1/2 weeks ago, It would kick itself out and go to the guide. We could watch live TV for about 1 minute and then it would go back to the guide. After a week of going back and forth with support, they told me that the problem is with Roku. I have a Roku Stick, Roku 2, Roku 4 and an Amazon Fire Stick. All with the same problem. We have Sling TV, Amazon Prime and Netflix, all with no problem. Tablo support still said it is not their problem. After another phone call, I received Tablo #3 yesterday March 14 /2017. Tablo #3 I can access through my desk top (Tablo wouldn't let me anymore) and it synced right up. I watched live TV for just over 10 minutes when the front 'blue' power light dimmed and flickered. Right back to the guide and the same problem we had before. As and electrical contractor, I know there is no problem with the power in my home. We'll see what their excuse is now.<br /><br />Update--After spending the afternoon trying to talk to Tablo and finally talking to Tablo, They have now determined that our new ( purchased 9/2016) router is the problem. Our new Router get automatic updates and is up to date. Very frustrated!<br /><br />Update--I spent some time on Google, "Packet loss and Connection problems with Linksys Router." I changed the Firmware back to 'previous setting. The thinking is that the recent update wasn't a good thing. I also changed the MTU size to 1400, the channel width to 20 MHZ and the wireless channel to 161. These are way too many things that a customer should have to do. Especially a 62. Currently we can watch live TV for about 20 minutes before it goes back to the guide. We have learned that we can live without that TV.<br /><br />Update 3/21/2017<br />Got up this morning to find the Tablo powered down. No blue light. Unplugged the unit and plugged it back in only to have it power down again and again. Now Tablo is telling me that my hard drive is bad. It looks like we now have a $300.00 coaster.<br /><br />Update 3/31/2017<br />After another frustrating week with Tablo,I put all of my Linksys Router setting back to factory settings and updated my firmware. Now we are streaming Sling, Amazon and Netflix with no delays and a clearer picture. I can't believe that I was willing to sacrifice a clear picture just so my Tablo would work part time. I was supposed to be able to watch TV without the external hard drive, but can't. Tablo quit responding to my e-mails last week. DON"T DO IT!!!!<br /><br />Update 4/13/2017<br />Took the WD Elements hard drive to my son, who lives out of state. This hard drive is supposed to be bad. He plugged it in to his equipment, took out the partitions and reformatted it. Now it is back to new condition. When we got back home, I plugged it back in to the Tablo and switched ports on our Linksys Router. We are now back to 30 seconds of Live TV and then it goes back to the guide. My Computer Science Engineer son says that Tablo has some "Bugs" to work out.<br /><br />Update 4/13/2017<br />Live TV Tablo now works on our desk top computer, so after talking to my son, I tried Tablo in every port of my Linksys Router. Still no change on the TV's and can not access Tablo on my smart phone. I ran an Ethernet cable to our main TV Roku and now Tablo works on that TV. Now we know that Tablo has made some changes that have effected Linksys in a negative way. I guess we will have to live with it this way for now. I will tell you again that our Linksys Router does work perfectly with everything else. | [] | B00MWLZR0I | B00MWLZR0I | AE3CKWM4JSZ4UW5V2YB6AX4E3EHQ | 1,489,590,000,000 | 7 | true | Positive |
4 | Great 4K Video Camera with 3 Weaknesses! | I got this to give me 4K video quality with a see-thru viewfinder, over my older Canon 1080p camcorder. I LOVE this camera, but there are 4 challenges that I want to discuss:<br />1) I had a hard time opening the side door that covers the battery & micro SD card. Had to go to YouTube to find a video to explain how to open the door.<br />2) Although the instructions claim 5K resolution, the highest that I could find was 4K. Still - that was a major improvement over the 1080p that I've been limited to up until now!<br />3) As other reviewers have said - it REQUIRES a micro (not standard) SD card, but does NOT come with one! For a $400 video camera - I believe that they could've easily included a $5 16gb card to get you started.<br />4) There's a default screen-saver time-out for the rear screen (viewfinder) that you need to change in order for it to stay on. Otherwise, your viewfinder will go blank in the middle of recording video! Again - there's a YT video that explains this.<br />Last - I got the bundle with extra battery & dual-battery charger, & I'm glad I did. Those of you who're photo or video buffs know how frustrating it can be to have a dead battery right before recording an important video. This way, I always have a backup.<br /><br />HIGHLY RECOMMENDED, as long as you're aware of the challenges that I had. | [] | B08DK5ZH44 | B08DK5ZH44 | AGP4YDQH5T3TVFFZ5TUYVAMURSMA | 1,623,280,000,000 | 12 | true | Positive |
4 | Fantastic Computer, some price point trade-offs. | I will use this laptop for home, work, and travel.<br /><br />Pros:<br />Slim, lightweight, and durable. I'm yet to air travel with this, but I hardly notice the weight in my backpack.<br /><br />Screen clarity is amazing. You see in great detail all the grotesqueness on the Witcher.<br /><br />Monster processing power. I use the latest version of AutoCAD with several windows on multiple screens and its performance is excellent. No noticeable lag.<br /><br />Price point. Black Friday special under $1500. Not sure how long that price will hold, but a value for high end performance.<br /><br />Cons:<br />The built-in sound isn't great. Better than a tin can, but not by much.<br /><br />The fan occasionally revs up like a 747 taxiing the runway.<br /><br />I'm not super computer guy, so I can't get into details about clocking a mili-second faster than this and that. I purchased this to be a tool that I will use hours a day. I need a computer that will be dependable and not cost me time, it will definitely do that with some kick-butt graphics to go with. | [] | B07TN4C5VZ | B0821892JY | AHROIGYCBWHM6ACCUF4CAAARSGDA | 1,576,950,000,000 | 5 | true | Positive |
4 | Worked as expected | Like most people my daughter dropped her iPod 4th gen just 2 days after Christmas. I did not want to pay $99 for a refurbished one from Apple so I looked around. I saw several sites and settled on YAGadget from Amazon. Looked like a complete package with good tools.<br /><br />It arrived fast and had everything the kit advertised including the button - but I did not need it as I used the original. There are NO Directions, however, if you use YouTube you can find several videos. I used a detail one from iCracked that was really good. I also used another from Gadget Menders as another reference. The tools worked well. The adhesive they send actually goes around the whole bezel which was very nice. It was not easy to install or get off the paper as you are working with a very thin outline. I did cut the top piece in half so I could easily go around the digitizer cable. Used the tools to press into place. Hardest part was attaching the digitizer cable. When I ran the test before adding the adhesive the screen was all WHITE and I was concerned. However, I did a soft reset with the HOME button and held POWER button down and it rebooted and came up fine.<br /><br />Only used for a few hours so not sure about quality of screen fully yet. Could tell it was not Apple but was pretty good. If you press down hard or when you are clamping I saw a hue in the screen like what you see on a geothermal camera. I put a screen protector on and my daughter is using it now. As long as you take your time and follow the videos it was worth it for 29.99.<br /><br />Would recommend based on what I have seen so far. | [] | B009UXECPW | B009UXECPW | AENIXXS4UNMXMORHHB5YDOCOEY3Q | 1,358,100,000,000 | 8 | true | Positive |
1 | Don’t buy if you hope to casually use the camera these are covering | Absolutely not what I was expecting, maybe it’s my fault but I don’t understand the high ratings on this product. I bought these for my iPhone and expected to be able to pop them off when I want to take a picture. These are stickers. Just plain stickers, contrary to the description these stickers are definitely not made to come off casually. I mean really thin stickers that you would have to use your nails to take off. I bought camera blockers before and they were thicker and much easier to just pop off when needed. Don’t buy if you’re planning to actually use the camera these are covering. Otherwise it will be like - hey wait for a picture while I peel these off with my fingernails. Oh wait. I missed the moment I wanted to take a picture of. Fail. | [] | B00V2NYZT6 | B00V2NYZT6 | AGMI5SFSJUZ32US5W5QYY4UVGZGA | 1,538,100,000,000 | 23 | true | Positive |
2 | Gen 2, what happened? | Had the original Echo been this desigb I doubt it would have become as popular as it is today. I currently have 3 echo devices, 4 with this gen 2 model. All except this model work flawlessly.<br />First the good.<br />It's the same Software. Alexa integration is what make the platform great. It's far more functional than Google and I have 2 of those devices.<br />It's prettier. Let's face it, unless you're into that monolithic straight out of an 80s movie home decor, the original was not pretty.<br />And now the bad. Starting with not so bad.<br />Sound. Yes it's bad out of box and the update only helps a little. The original is still better and that's saying a lot. However it's still usable and not a big deal for the casual listener. The change in Alexa's voice will drive you nuts somewhat of you've become accustomed to it on your old devices.<br />The really bad part is this Echo device is fairly sure to respond. Even the echo Dot responds faster. Wake word pickup seems spotty. I've actually asked Alexa a simple "what time is it' question, waited a while, then asked again only to have Alexa respond to my original question in mid query.<br />It's almost as if this is the beta product prior to the original Echo. I'm going to keep it since it's used in a second home that still needs 2 more echo devices but my next purchase will either be a gen 1 refurb unit, Dot, or the Shows (haven't tried those yet).<br />Would I recommend this for a first Echo devices? No.<br />Would I recommend this for those willing to wait or hope a software update may fix the shortcomings? Maybe. As is we don't know if the problem is hardware or software.<br /><br />For now the Dot is the way to go. Especially if you have a Bluetooth speaker you like. Then the gen 1 echo. I don't know if the plus is the same as the gen 1 with zigbee hub. So no comment on it. | [] | B06XCM9LJ4 | B07456BG8N | AGCAJSKD267BYCQ7ADVYNG5TA3IQ | 1,510,420,000,000 | 9 | true | Positive |
5 | Puts my mind at ease. | I tried another maker's wireless camera and returned it. Searching Amazon, I found the Amcrest. My purpose was to have a camera situated such that I could see an area where my dogs may be lounging, or to know if something was wrong so I could summon the appropriate agency.<br />First, setup is not overly complicated. The box included a quick set up card that is actually helpful. I followed the first set of directions and bingo, I had a picture on my iPhone.<br />Second, the picture I was looking at is clear. I can see the room clearly including the fan oscillating in the background. Refresh rate is internet dependent but quick enough that I can follow what is going on in the room. I can also see the room at night because of the red LED system. Though the room was dark, objects within it were clear.<br />I purchased a micro SD card so I can record images. I am playing around with the company's "cloud" and with my own browser's ability to upload images to my cloud service.<br />Overall, this is a great way to view appropriate areas of the home, office, whatever, for your own peace of mind. While on a trip several thousand miles away I could visually confirm that my home was safe, secure, and no unwanted activity was occurring. Sure makes this worth while. | [] | B0145OQTPG | B07GXDLJP9 | AHGXM57J5XGHBBUYWNTYYLJQGB7Q | 1,446,080,000,000 | 6 | true | Positive |
3 | Not compliant with EnergyStar 4.0 (new) computers | We bought two of these for use with two new computers (DELL Studio XPS 435) and when we tested them, we found that the UPS would not power the PC. Upon researching the issue, we found that the new PCs have power supply units, like those in many new PCs, which have circuits to implement power factor correction (PFC) as part of compliance with Energy Star 4.0.<br /><br />Unfortunately, PSUs with PFC are not as forgiving of the step-approximated sine wave of this type of UPS. We will now order a different model. According to the APC website, APC UPS models which do output a Pure Sine Wave include: Smart-UPS, Matrix-UPS, and the Symmetra Power Array.<br /><br />If you are shopping for a UPS to accompany a new PC, double check that the PC can support a "Stepped wave." If not, get a different model UPS. If you cannot find that information, my suggestion is to check the PC product info for the Energy Star 4.0 rating, and if the PC has that rating, go with the Pure Sine Wave product lines mentioned above. | [] | B000XFXEDW | B000XFXEDW | AFJH7CGDZWTMFGFGOOJTF3QNZGRQ | 1,251,810,000,000 | 37 | true | Positive |
1 | DO NOT USE THIS COMPOUND | I got this compound after reading all the reviews on Amazon stating how good it was... it's not good.<br />I replaced a thermal pad with this crap. My idle temps using the pad were locked at 26.5 degrees (Celsius). Idle temps now sore over 55 degrees on my i9-9900K... Sure it will keep it under 100 degrees... but not by much.<br /><br />I applied this compound 3 times with the same results each time. Temps sore when playing games and the processor throttles.<br />I used a different branded Thermal compound which yielded better results than Artic by about 10 degrees. I switch back to a thermal pad and my temps were back to normal 26.6 idle and about 50-60 degrees when gaming/rendering.<br /><br />I'm using "Innovation Cooling IC Graphite Thermal Pad (30x30mm 2-Pack)"<br />https://www.amazon.com/Innovation-Cooling-Graphite-Thermal-30x30mm/dp/B08BL41J3W/ref=sr_1_4?dchild=1&keywords=Thermal+pad&qid=1601492257&s=electronics&sr=1-4<br /><br />Seems to be better than thermal paste. Sketchy AF to apply tho. | [] | B07L9BDY3T | B07L9BDY3T | AGXJBT6X73OZX5CZBOMRMCDZVZFQ | 1,601,490,000,000 | 12 | true | Positive |
5 | So good I ordered another | We have a roomba that has an appetite for wires. With this said, I also hate seeing a jumble of wires. I have about 10 electronic devices plugging into the wall and into a surge protector. What I loved about the box is that it was roomy enough to put in the surge protector AND all the fat wires. I loved this so much I bought another one for the other room with electronics! 10/10 and there’s holes for ventilation as well just in case. Highly recommend! I have the white box with the gray lid. | [] | B08MTZBF6W | B07ZS4LTK2 | AF6KWIUWXYGEQDMOKMHXH6NMW7WA | 1,619,410,000,000 | 149 | true | Positive |
5 | Many other uses than just a headrest! | I just received this in the mail and after playing around with it I feel this is going to work perfect. I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5 and was looking for something I could use to hang it from the bar of a bottom bunk bed. I'm preparing to deploy overseas and I was wanting something that would make watching movies a little easier. Also if we end up not having bunk beds I figured with some velcro strips I can velcro it to a wall or wall locker and it will work beautifully! | [] | B00M40BAJO | B00M40BAJO | AFN7BM2SDDK4M4NHXNZSNF6LPR2A | 1,423,090,000,000 | 5 | true | Positive |
2 | Not worth it | They produce sound but it comes with a lot of background static that is audible even with volume turned up. It would be nice if it also came with the clip to hold it to your shirt, but they discontinued those head phones. I wouldn't buy these again and I am thinking of returning them. | [] | B07HH1QSLB | B07HH6X34D | AEOWEUGLJVKKOBNZLUBVGH7ETK7A | 1,549,950,000,000 | 31 | true | Positive |
3 | Overall-good scope | I gave it 3 stars for a couple of reasons. 1st, the camera is not working with USB 3.0, so I can't use it on my newer Mac. Basically, the camera that I was so excited about just went into a drawer. Second, the 25x oculars are quite dark and sort of meshed, which makes them very hard to look through. I only use 10x oculars and they do the job. Third (and this is the smallest thing that didn't influence my rating), the plastic cover for the microscope was torn. I have to cover my scope with a King Soopers bag for now.<br />Overall, the scope was perfectly packaged and it's very easy to assemble even without a manual. The lenses are clear and everything works great. I used my bf as a donor for everything I inspected and everything looked exactly like you would find in a biology/microbiology manual, including the color.<br />So... If you're getting this scope for the camera, make sure you have a USB 2.0 and lower. Also, don't expect the 25x oculars to do magic. It's best to use the 10x ones with the oil immersion. Otherwise, you should be happy with it. | [] | B009VUPIKM | B0C3T8F9MG | AH64DAACK4CIHU3KZROYZDXV4O5A | 1,403,480,000,000 | 29 | true | Positive |
1 | Worthless | I live in a pretty place, so bought as a helmet camera for my bike rides. Able to attach to my helmet no problem. However, as other users have noted, it won't record continuously: it records in 3 minute segments with the last 30 seconds of each segment with frozen video. And how many three minutes segments will it record? It appears to be random. Certainly not as many as the length of my rides, and nowhere near the size of the replacement/bigger SD card I added. One one ride, I got 16 three minute segments (about half the ride). Today on a longer ride I got only 3 three minute segments. Worthless.<br />Would be better if it actually worked, and if it had a low resolution option (right now it has only two setting for video, two different flavors of high-def: 1080P at 30FPS and 720P at 60FPS). | [] | B07YN8W8KD | B07YN8W8KD | AG7ZPOFUCEU4MMCCPYF6ALZXDP2Q | 1,614,380,000,000 | 5 | true | Positive |
5 | Two thumbs up👍👍 | I love this little gadget. It is exactly what I needed for my tv box and smart tv. I haven't tried it on anything else yet, but I'm sure it will do fine on our other devices. The keys light up with perfection. I do wish the directions were a little more descriptive. I pretty much had to push random buttons to find out what each one does, and a few of them I am still unsure about. I would definitely buy this product again though. ☆☆☆☆☆ | [] | B01HH8UDIG | B01HH8UDIG | AGEEQWSZKZCFLA2Z6BXYIRQGH2SA | 1,469,390,000,000 | 12 | true | Positive |
4 | Good to have... | Just arrived, I was able to pair it with my both Canon speed-lite(s) easily, it worked well but have encountered several miss-fire issues (around 4 out of 70 photos) during indoor session 3 to 4 meters away from the speed-lite(s). will give it another chance and see if this will be a norm.<br />I noticed that the LCD is not clear in terms of font and color as the Canon Speed-lite. | [] | B00V62FTB6 | B00V62FTB6 | AGF4COMW2GIGPM3MIFR6MVJLS2SQ | 1,437,060,000,000 | 4 | true | Positive |
4 | Good product with a few flaws | I’ll start this review by saying that I’ve been buying and using security cameras at two of my homes for about 15 years now. I’m also a software and hardware engineer and I’ve been creating photo capture and video products for various commercial industries for 20 years. The products I create sell for over $15,000 dollars, so they are not viable for home security, hence why I buy other products. All of this to say that I am truly an expert on video capture and software for managing photos.<br /><br />In my constant quest to find a decent 8-camera home video solution, I tend to buy new systems every two years as the typical Chinese vendors come out with better options. I purchased this latest product a few months ago and I’ve been testing it extensively. Here are the pros and cons.<br /><br />PROS<br /><br />- The price is very fair given the capabilities of the product<br />- The App works better than any other product I’ve tried in this price point<br />- The clarity of the images through my existing 5 year old analog cameras is excellent<br />- The amount of storage on the hard drive is substantial<br />- The software uses the new H.265 compression to save disk space<br />- When motion is sensed, it will send 3 snapshot pics in the email. Very nice.<br />- The DVR can use 8 analog cameras and 2 IP cameras<br />- Technical support was responsive within 24 hours, which is quite good<br />- The DVR is very quiet when running<br /><br />CONS<br /><br />- The manual is typical of these low-cost products. It could be better.<br />- The motion detection is better than other products, but false positives are common<br />- The menus are better than most, but could still use some minor improvements<br />- The manual won’t match the software on the unit, but it’s close enough<br />- It will not save to the cloud, and I confirmed this with their tech support. They say they are aware of this problem and are working to fix it. Time will tell.<br />- It creates alarms for loss of camera far too often. This is definitely a bug.<br />- When you start up the system the first time, don't set the password to more than 11 characters. The reason is that when you use their App to connect to the system, it doesn't accept more than 12 characters. This is really crazy and they should fix this issue.<br />- I just installed the second system I purchased and I ran into some major problems. After setting the system up it would re-boot itself every 2 to 3 minutes. Very frustrating since the first one was setup identically and it was just fine. So, I did a factory reset in their menu and tried setting it up again. Nope...it wouldn't run for more than 3 minutes without re-booting. Since I am a software and hardware engineer, I decided that it had to be a hardware problem, so I assumed it was the hard drive. I used their menu option to re-format the drive. After that it started working properly! Yea! So if anyone at the company reads tis review...here is what I would say. You need to use more Try/Catch statements to capture these types of errors and to display a message. Otherwise, you are basically allowing the system to crash hard and do a re-boot. Not good, but it's something you can fix.<br /><br />FINAL RECAP<br /><br />It’s important to understand that you are not paying $5,000 for these types of products. This DVR sells for around $150, so you have to keep things in perspective. The hardware alone inside of this unit will cost $100 if you try and built it yourself, and to get to that price, you would need to build 500 units. These guys had to design it, build it, ship it to Amazon, pay Amazon their profit margin and then support the product. I could design a better solution, but it would cost me a lot more money than what I paid for this product, and I’m realistic in my expectations. This DVR is by far the best I have ever found in this price range. Even with a few flaws, it’s better than anything else you will find. If you don’t know anything about cameras, IP addresses, disk drives, routers and basic software functions, you will struggle with any product. Find a friend who understand these things and you'll be just fine. These guys have delivered a good product for a low price. Today I would give them 8 stars out of 10. If they fix the cloud storage, I will raise their score to a 9 out of 10. Fix the false alarms and error handline and they get a 9.9 out of 10. If they want a perfect 10, they need to improve the manual slightly and tighten up their code for the motion detect. The best score I have ever given to any of the other 8 systems I have owned was a 6 out of 10. | [] | B07WZWCF77 | B07WZWCF77 | AFYLERWTAHZOGNEWTGE623UUXQ3A | 1,641,080,000,000 | 9 | true | Positive |
4 | A definite improvement! | Installation was only slightly buggy. Each time a different signal is used you will need to double click on the desktop icon and select the signal desired. My home wifi is password protected so I need to dig out my acess code each time I return home after using a hotel or municipal wifi. Not a big deal.<br /><br />The signal is definitely better at most hotels and with a particular municipal system I access. | [] | B003E8J998 | B003E8J998 | AHWERGTVLFLEN2RWOC3XJ3VGSRNQ | 1,302,620,000,000 | 4 | true | Positive |
5 | 2nd review | I wrote this huge long detailed review only to receive an email that it was not submitted because it violated the guidelines (which it did not). So here's my 2nd review.. if you want a good camera but you're not ready for a dslr, you can't go wrong with this one. I included a shot of the moon I took yesterday (10-2-17) at 100x zoom and no tripod or anything to steady my hand. This is a great camera. | [{'small_image_url': 'https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/615GgNsfpNL._SL256_.jpg', 'medium_image_url': 'https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/615GgNsfpNL._SL800_.jpg', 'large_image_url': 'https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/615GgNsfpNL.jpg', 'attachment_type': 'IMAGE'}] | B00BEHRQB4 | B00BEHRQB4 | AEEFEBGE2TC36QAMQQR5RPCDYD2A | 1,507,050,000,000 | 4 | true | Positive |

5 | Great Bang for the Buck! Bowers & Wilkins scores again! | These babies are my third set of headphones in my quest to find the perfect headphones. Let me just start by saying that I absolutely love them!<br /><br />First I tried Harman Kardon NC Premium Over-Ear Noise Cancelling Headphones. The sound didn't bowl me over. I'm not looking for booming bass or anything like that. I just wanted something that provided a clean, accurate sound. I found the Harman Kardon's sound to be a bit too thin for my taste. Additionally, even with the noise canceling feature on, I couldn't hear my music clearly while on the plane. I sent them back.<br /><br />Next, I tried the Bose QuietComfort 15 Acoustic Noise Cancelling Headphones. The first thing I didn't like about these is that, without the battery, they're useless. Secondly, the left headphone stopped working before I'd even had them for two weeks. Back they went.<br /><br />My next headphone was Beyerdynamic DT-880 Pro Headphones (250 Ohm). They're certainly not as sleek looking as the Bose or the Harman Kardons, but if they could deliver, I'd overlook their bulk and their cheap nylon bag carrying case. As I did with the other headphones, I took them on my next airplane trip. Unfortunately, they didn't make the grade. So much so that I ordered the Bowers & Wilkins before I even returned from my trip, and had them delivered to the hotel where I was staying so that I could use them for my return trip home.<br /><br />I already own a set of Bowers & Wilkins speakers for my home studio, so I was already a fan when the headphones arrived. When I pulled them out of the box, I was even more of a fan! They are the best looking headphones I've ever seen and fold in for easy transporting. As for the sound, in addition to being able to hear everything clearly during my 5 hour return flight home, I've also been using them to talk on my iPhone and to listen to music on my phone as well. Although they don't have to battery-draining "noise-canceling" feature of the other headphones, their "noise isolation" capabilities, in my opinion, work even better and I don't have to turn them on or off or constantly recharge or change the battery.<br /><br />I also love the smooth leather ear pads and the metal connectors. No plastic in these babies! They're the most expensive of the four I've tried, but definitely worth the extra bucks! | [{'small_image_url': 'https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/713FNOntQ+L._SL256_.jpg', 'medium_image_url': 'https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/713FNOntQ+L._SL800_.jpg', 'large_image_url': 'https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/713FNOntQ+L._SL1600_.jpg', 'attachment_type': 'IMAGE'}] | B00NOOWVCE | B00NOOWVCE | AEQMAK2S5SP32VWHG4CN6GGB5ODA | 1,435,610,000,000 | 24 | true | Positive |

5 | Great look and fit, and even better customer service from seller! | When I first placed this cover on my new iPad I couldn't get the sleep/wake feature to work. I assumed the problem was with the cover itself & assumed I would need to return it. I decided to contact Fintie about the problem. I doubted I would receive a reply but wanted to make my concern known anyway. I really liked the look and fit of this cover and wanted to re-order, assuming this issue was an anomaly with this particular cover. In the meantime I googled this issue with sleep/wake feature and came to find it was a simple matter of re setting something on the iPad itself (should have Googled first!). I changed settings and it was working great. But what really impressed me and leads me to give this rating is that I received VERY prompt reply from Fintie. They were very polite and apologetic and suggested I try the exact same fix I had just discovered.

1 | Its OK. Most Amazon comments address my issues with ... | Its OK. Most Amazon comments address my issues with this Pyle device, but mine were elevated to tech support.

5 | Great at copying tapes to MP3 | Many thanks to the C. Severn for his tips on getting Windows to work with this product. I wish I had this years ago. I threw out so many tapes because I didn't have a player for them anymore. The quality of the final product is just as good as the original. I have used this to convert old training tapes. Other than clipping the beginning and end I did not do any editing. I used the mp3 id tags to label each track so iTunes will recognize them (Under "Project"). Audacity did both of these simply enough. I exported them to MP3 and it worked! It's tedious if you have a lot of tracks to id but that has nothing to do with this product. | [] | B00ADXLBS4 | B00ADXLBS4 | AHJ2T5F2EFSGLAFYIKPGTF2TK4EQ | 1,367,860,000,000 | 39 | true | Positive |
5 | brilliant and clever design! | Function without fluff. Excellent idea for holding what you need, without gobs of fat padding. Very efficient and simple, I love it!<br /><br />Only thing I see as an omission, is a way to padlock the bag (to keep kids or whoever out), when you're visiting friends or relatives. Being "tech savvy," I used my Dremel tool to drill and round-off clean looking holes in the zipper pulls, for a small travel lock. Not as easy as it would seem, as the pulls are fat rubber-coated, and unique. I hated having to mod them, they are cool, but now, more functional. Now if some cable or charger is missing when I need it, it's my fault for sure!<br /><br />Besides room for small mouse and the power supply, I've got room for a powered USB hub, iPhone & BlueTooth cables & charger/s, and even a FireWire drive with cables & case! Amazing design!<br /><br />While I can see where some would like feet, document pockets, sink, toilet, whatever...that's not the point of this case design. This puppy is pure function, and it rules all others in that respect. This is the best case I own for being truly practical and small-as-possible. I think I'll thin out the pile of other cases I have stacked in the closet. After using this Cocoon, I'm spoiled, and have no need for fat antique design cases any more!<br /><br />Perfect compliment to the simplicity and functionality of Mac laptops! It would even add value to PC laptops, though, the case would be more functional. ;-) | [] | B0030BERWS | B006D33ID4 | AFEKLZCTX7XPWY36H4MEONQMZMSA | 1,272,530,000,000 | 4 | true | Positive |
1 | Renewed version is not worth the savings | The underlying product is great, I returned my 2 renewed routers and just bought 2 new ones for and extra $50.<br /><br />As other reviews noted, the units I bought were dirty and scuffed. The scuffs came out with a cleaning wipe, so likely the were not in really "renewed" before being mailed out. The first router I set up had no issues. The 2nd unit was non-responsive. It could not be detected on the network and it was not able to do a factory reset via the physical button, so it seems like the units were also not really tested before being sent. | [] | B0842VS9MM | B0842VS9MM | AFEHPIJFEC5N4KMUGF4VIISQL5EQ | 1,611,450,000,000 | 6 | true | Positive |
4 | Double check the switches after receiving the keyboard | Love the keyboard it has some really great features and works really well. One word of caution is to make sure you pull off one of the key caps and check the color of the switches.

3 | Works Well But... | I got this device so I could listen to podcasts over my Incredible 2 in my vehicle. I was using a patch cord, but the headphone jack on my phone was wearing out (down to one channel of the stereo). This type of device is a great solution.<br /><br />The only issue I have with the device is that I have to pair and connect EVERY TIME I want to use it. I wish it would "remember" my phone. Even when my phone shows the device in its listing of available bluetooth devices, when I do go to pair the I-Stream, it drops off the remembered device list of my phone. I then have to put the I-stream in discovery mode, and scan with my phone. Even then, it's not always a sure pair. I can get it to work with effort and then it's smooth sailing once connected. Good for one drive at a time essentially. Also did get it to work with some speakers in the house. | [] | B006OT2WFM | B006OT2WFM | AG6Q3NZ2UKYSCUZAX3QUR43PX5WQ | 1,353,790,000,000 | 32 | true | Positive |

5 | Call quality, esp. mic., in a noisy industrial setting is best tried so far. | This is a followup review<br />TL/DR: In a noisy industrial environment I am able to attend Teams meetings and make phone calls using these earbuds. Nothing else so far has worked.<br />Details follow<br /><br />Mostly I use these to exercise and they're great. I hate the "dangly" style earbuds; they always feel like they're going to fall out. These are solid and the ear hook is very comfortable.<br /><br />Out of the box they were 90% charged, then after removing the tape and putting them in the case they got to 100% in a few minutes.<br />I added one of those magnetic charging buttons to the case; it doesn't come with that. If you don't use those, you should try them; they are very convenient!<br /><br />They're pretty loud for when I'm exercising and the mic is good in a car.<br />I work in a very noisy distribution center, and have never found *any* earbuds with a mic that works in all that racket. It's my week off now, but when I get back to work I'll try them and follow up this review.<br /><br />If they don't work in the DC they're no worse than any other high-quality earbuds. If they *do* work in the DC, these are definitely better than any I've ever used.<br />More to follow next week...<br /><br />OK, I'm back in the DC: Just got off a Microsoft Teams meeting using these earbuds and they are functional. Also making phone calls using these earbuds while walking among the running conveyors, the quality is sufficient.<br /><br />I know "sufficient" and "functional" does not sound like gushing praise, BUT "even works at all" is LIGHT YEARS (several mpc at least, but still within the Virgo supercluster ;)) beyond any other earbuds. This is a very noisy industrial environment. I have not tried any of the name brand earbuds costing 5 to 8 times as much as these, so maybe those are different. But within this price range, these are the best I've tried. | [{'small_image_url': 'https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51mPjJcgHWL._SL256_.jpg', 'medium_image_url': 'https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51mPjJcgHWL._SL800_.jpg', 'large_image_url': 'https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51mPjJcgHWL._SL1600_.jpg', 'attachment_type': 'IMAGE'}, {'small_image_url': 'https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61wxeXiqLGL._SL256_.jpg', 'medium_image_url': 'https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61wxeXiqLGL._SL800_.jpg', 'large_image_url': 'https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61wxeXiqLGL._SL1600_.jpg', 'attachment_type': 'IMAGE'}, {'small_image_url': 'https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71NHDd-vK1L._SL256_.jpg', 'medium_image_url': 'https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71NHDd-vK1L._SL800_.jpg', 'large_image_url': 'https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71NHDd-vK1L._SL1600_.jpg', 'attachment_type': 'IMAGE'}, {'small_image_url': 'https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Ov22r8pBL._SL256_.jpg', 'medium_image_url': 'https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Ov22r8pBL._SL800_.jpg', 'large_image_url': 'https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Ov22r8pBL._SL1600_.jpg', 'attachment_type': 'IMAGE'}, {'small_image_url': 'https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71ZX6+1ruAL._SL256_.jpg', 'medium_image_url': 'https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71ZX6+1ruAL._SL800_.jpg', 'large_image_url': 'https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71ZX6+1ruAL._SL1600_.jpg', 'attachment_type': 'IMAGE'}, {'small_image_url': 'https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71mv-V6oicL._SL256_.jpg', 'medium_image_url': 'https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71mv-V6oicL._SL800_.jpg', 'large_image_url': 'https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71mv-V6oicL._SL1600_.jpg', 'attachment_type': 'IMAGE'}] | B09L4NSDYL | B09L4NSDYL | AG2AXDTPVCGMEOCQ75NSAGMIWUNQ | 1,639,510,000,000 | 100 | true | Positive |

2 | Temperature is off by 2-3 degrees and Aux heat kicking on/off too often | [[VIDEOID:e3cf14b17cb191f29b719d1a57b96336]] This is the second Amazon thermostat I tried and I found out that they all seem to be off by a couple of degrees. I have two other thermometers in the house and they match the same temperature. Even the old thermostat was matching the thermometers. One thing I tried was disconnecting it from the wall for a couple of hours, and what I found was that the internal thermostat sensor was picking up the right temperature. I know this because right when you plug it back to the wall, the temperature will be accurate, but will rapidly increase by a couple of degrees in a few minutes. My guess is that the internal heat dissipation from the thermostat is affecting the reading and since the “ventilation” holes are facing the wall, once you connect the device these holes will be covered so it won’t dissipate heat. (Pointing at the vent holes in the video).<br /><br />The problem with this is that you won’t be able to maintain the house in the “eco” efficient region (68deg) because you need to set it to 70 to actually have a comfortable temperature of 68.<br /><br />Another issue that I'm experiencing: Aux heat kicking on/off too often. Even when the outside temperature is above 45deg. This setting is not configurable. | [{'small_image_url': 'https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51ajMd643wL._SL256_.jpg', 'medium_image_url': 'https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51ajMd643wL._SL800_.jpg', 'large_image_url': 'https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51ajMd643wL._SL1600_.jpg', 'attachment_type': 'IMAGE'}] | B08J4C8871 | B09DFNGW8N | AHJNLBYVNIWOC5SHH6PAI6C72ZLA | 1,641,180,000,000 | 13 | true | Positive |
5 | So Good I Went Back and Reordered Another! | Very lightweight, great range. I did a run wearing these and they were so comfortable and didn't jostle at all that I ended up wearing them for another 2 hours after my run, just enjoying the music streaming from my phone. No aches in the ears, over the ears, or behind the head.<br />Buttons/controls are easy to use and press. It'd be great if the buttons weren't all on the same earpiece because I frequently accidentally press the upper AND lower buttons at the same time when I only mean to press one of them, since your thumb and fingers have to push back against the other side of the earpiece to get the button to click, and that's where the opposite button is, but no biggie.<br />Sound is awesome. There are 3 equalizer settings (regular, bass boost, treble boost) which I easily change mid-music to enhance whatever I'm listening to.<br />I was so in love with these that I raved about them for the past few weeks I've had them, bought another pair so I could keep one at home (for neighborhood jogs) and one in my gym bag, and all my raving got a bunch of friends to buy these headphones as well, and they all love them, too.<br />Battery charges in 1.5 - 2 hrs with the included USB charger cord (which you can plug into a standard USB to wall outlet conversion plug that comes with every cell phone these days, this conversion plug is not included with the headset), and I've been using them daily and have yet to need to recharge since my initial charge (but note I'm using 2 alternatingly).<br />I love that when I put them in my ears and turn them on, the headset announces, "Power on. Battery high," or "medium," whatever battery power you have left, so you always know if you have to recharge before use. I hate it when I'm in the middle of a run or a workout at the gym and my headset battery dies, causing the rest of my workout to be in silence with a useless headset around my neck. With these battery announcements, if your battery dies on you mid-workout, then you were just a procrastinator. :)<br />Both sets paired with my phone really easily on the first try. No techie drama. | [] | B01C22IJV0 | B01MR1X6ZU | AEFLTQTRS4WB7NVEB63TOZWKAFMA | 1,504,740,000,000 | 8 | true | Positive |
4 | Good sound, great design, and wireless charging | I've had the Beoplay E8 2.0 for over a month now and am content with my purchase. I looked at the Sennheiser, Sony, and Master Dynamic competitors before purchasing the B&O. At the time of purchase, they were discounted by $100 at all major online stores, which was a major motivation in pulling the trigger.<br /><br />When researching these earphones, I was not aware of the upcoming Apple AirPods Pro, and most likely would have purchased those instead.<br /><br />SOUND<br /><br />I think the sound quality is good, not great. They are an improvement over the $30 Sony MDRXB50AP earbuds I had been using for the last 3+ years; but they also cost 10x as much.<br /><br />I find that the quality of your source makes a big difference. New music designed to be downloaded or streamed sounds great; 80s music as well as older jazz and classical recordings sound flat.<br /><br />The B&O app has 4 presets plus the ability to manually create your own. It does not use a graphic equalizer; it's more of a "drag your finger around a circle until it sounds good" thing. I personally use the "Workout" preset which adds more "warmth" and it's fine for me.<br /><br />All that being said, if these were $300 over-ear closed-back headphones with 50mm drivers, I'd expect a lot more.<br /><br />BATTERY LIFE<br /><br />I'm disappointed with the battery life as I have never been able to get more than 2.5 hours of use from a full charge. This is significantly lower than the 4 hours advertised. What's even more frustrating is that the app will say they are fully charged all the way up until they run out of juice.<br /><br />CONNECTION<br /><br />I generally experience no connectivity issues on a day-to-day basis. I do recall one morning on the train where they disconnected for a few seconds and my music started blasting out of my phone (I was using the Sirius XM app, so perhaps that had something to do with it). That's been an isolated incident so far though.<br /><br />NOISE CANCELATION<br /><br />Using the Comply foam tips, the passive noise cancelation is decent. If you are listening to more relaxing music or talk radio, you'll get some background noise. More intense music like EDM or Hip Hop at a moderate volume will block out a lot of noise. It's definitely enough to miss your stop on a train if you aren't paying attention. Also worth mentioning that it's enough to prevent you from hearing people say "excuse me" when on a crowded train, so get in the habit of looking around to see if others are trying to get off the train when approaching a stop.<br /><br />Keep in mind, if you really need noise cancelation, get a nice pair of active noise canceling headphones - don't abuse your eardrums with excessively loud music.<br /><br />AMBIENT SOUND<br /><br />Pressing the left earphone will pipe the outside world into your earphones using the microphone. It's definitely useful, but the sound quality isn't great. There is some noticeable static and voices sound robotic. However, if you do need to talk to somebody, it will get the job done.<br /><br />I do use it frequently since the "pause" gesture on the right earphone doesn't work for me. Using the ambient sound feature will pause whatever your playing, so this works for me.<br /><br />Mike Wat on YouTube compared the Sennheiser directly to the B&O, and concluded that the Sennheiser's ambient sound pass-through is much clearer, if this interests you.<br /><br />MICROPHONE<br /><br />I've had to use these on conference calls a few times. My coworkers were able to hear me just fine, but there was a lot of background noise. I would NOT recommend these if you need to make a lot of calls while walking around the city.<br /><br />To be fair, based on all the video reviews I've watched, all of the truly wireless earphones struggle in this area. AirPods seem to be the best option if you need a decent mic.<br /><br />COMFORT / FIT<br /><br />The headphones stay put and feel very secure. I do not run or do Crossfit, so there's no way these will ever fall out of my ears. If you are doing those kinds of workouts, you should just buy Powerbeats.<br /><br />AESTHETICS<br /><br />I think these are great looking, but you will stand out especially if you live in a city where everybody has AirPods. People just aren't used to seeing large pieces of black plastic in your ears.<br /><br />APP<br /><br />B&O have always been about aesthetics. Their web design is exceptional, so I went into the app with high expectations. The app is also well designed and easy to use. After downloading the app, it walked me through the initial pairing. It also prompted me to update the firmware on the headphones, which took 10 minutes to complete.<br /><br />Like I mentioned above, the battery indicator in the app is useless. This seems like a software issue and will hopefully be resolved. Essentially, it says my headphones are at 100% all the way until they die (and subsequently disconnect).<br /><br />CASE<br /><br />This was one of the killer features for me, as I really wanted Qi wireless charging like the AirPods. I also absolutely had to have USB-C on the case, which these have. A USB-A to USB-C cable is included and it is reasonably long.<br /><br />There are 3 lights on the back of the case to indicate how much reserve power the case has. There is one (very elegant) amber light on the front of the case that turns to green when the headphones are charged.<br /><br />Note that if the case itself is not plugged in or on a charging mat, the light doesn't stay on. Given that the app doesn't tell me how much battery life they have, I just have to assume that after a couple hours in the case, the headphones are fully charged. There's also no way for me to see the reserve power of the case, unless it is charging itself. I suppose I would have liked for the case to light up when it's touched, since I understand leaving the lights on permanently would drain the battery.<br /><br />Aesthetically, the case is better looking and appears to be higher quality than the Sennheiser and Master Dynamic cases. The Sony case is the best though, in my opinion.<br /><br />SUMMARY<br /><br />You have a few options in this price range. Based on reviews, Sennheiser has the best sound quality, Sony has the best noise cancelation, and Master Dynamic have the best YouTube commercials.<br /><br />If you're planning on buying over-ear headphones in addition to wireless earphones, you may want to consider sticking with one brand so you don't need multiple apps on your phone.<br /><br />At the time, I felt B&O provided a really nice overall package for what I wanted; however, if the Apple AirPods Pro were available, I may have made a different decision. | [] | B07MHJ28YM | B081SDPJ47 | AHK3O7DGZSZKWXSECSX4FC5KHWQA | 1,569,820,000,000 | 8 | true | Positive |
4 | NRF24L01+ Breakout Adapter | Convenient breakout board for using the 3.3v NRF24L01+ with a 5vdc controller such as Arduino. One thing to note is that the input power header pin is labeled "VCC" (4.8v - 12v) AND the power pin of the SPI connector is also labeled "VCC" which is the output of the 3.3v vreg. Not a good practice to label two pins the same when in fact they're completely different traces. Also would be very nice if the 6-pin header was provided not soldered to make it easier to solder the breakout to a breadboard if desired. Other than these nitpicks the adapter does the job. | [{'small_image_url': 'https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/71wW6xILIRL._SL256_.jpg', 'medium_image_url': 'https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/71wW6xILIRL._SL800_.jpg', 'large_image_url': 'https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/71wW6xILIRL._SL1600_.jpg', 'attachment_type': 'IMAGE'}] | B01IK9GCPE | B01IK9GCPE | AGKZ7H7G4YKRI6IXPLAIBYFNV6ZQ | 1,554,160,000,000 | 5 | true | Positive |

5 | These are the clear winners. | I have 2 of the Gary Fong LSUCloud universal Clouds and I prefer this one. I also have 2 knockoffs which rank at the bottom of my favorites list. These new collapsable domes stay on tight and simply look better than the reverse dome models. Both diffuse well and the bonus of collapsing them to make more for more room in the camera/light stand bag. I expect these to be more durable as well. My Fong Universal Clouds have cracked under frequent abuse, I don't think these will.<br />Great diffuser and I'd highly recommend it.

4 | Fantastically priced 80 Plus Gold, but limited use, for now | This is a great priced 80 Plus Gold PSU, for around 70 bucks at the time of this review. I can't find too many comparable Gold rated PSUs at this price point, from a solidly reputable manufacturer. The only other PSU that comes close is the [[ASIN:B0081XXIHK Rosewill CAPSTONE Series 450W 80 Plus Gold Certified Modular ATX12V/EPS12V Power Supply CAPSTONE-450-M]], which has 50 more Watts, is modular, and provides 37 Amps on a single 12v rail...the only possible negative is that Rosewill has a very mixed track record when it comes to PSU reliability and warranty (including my own personal experiences with them in the past), with Rosewill Capstones being rebranded units from OEM Super Flower, a relatively newcomer to the PSU industry.<br /><br />FSU is a longtime higher end OEM manufacturer of PSUs, rebranded and sold under many names, including OCZ, Silverstone, and many more. They have a great track record for being efficient and reliable.<br /><br />I would recommend this PSU for users who do not have high end video cards, and are running machines 24/7 on PSU's that aren't 80 Plus certified. For the layman, anything labelled 80 Plus certified means it is 80% efficient at 20,50 and 100% loads. Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum are even more efficient, respectively.<br /><br />I used this on my file/media server/video encoder, which I thought was pretty energy efficient. It consisted of an i5 2500k, 16GB DDR3, no video card, 5 WD Green drives, 3 WD Black drives, one SSD, two internal PCIE SATA 3 extenders, and a BD-R drive, running Win 7 Professional 64. It consumed about 62 Watts at idle, and 73-80 Watts under moderate load, when streaming or transcoding high bitrate 1080p video. Not bad, and about the same as leaving a single incandescent lightbulb on. All of this was powered by a several year old sturdy Thermaltake Purepower 500 (W0100RU). The old power supply was not 80 Plus certified.<br /><br />According to my UPS wattage reading, this power supply helps my computer to now idle around 32W and operates at 60W under moderate load. Very nice savings that will help my electricity bill. My old power supply was very energy inefficient.<br /><br />By and far, the largest downsides to this PSU is that it is not modular, and it provides a scant 18 Amps on each 12v rail. It has two rails for a combined total of 36 Amps, but because not all higher end video cards have two power inputs, this limits its use. On top of that, 400 Watts is on the very lower end, where many higher end CPU+GPUs require larger Wattage requirements. This PSU leaves very limited headroom for use on a gaming machine. While technology advances and power requirements continue to drop, we're probably still a good year or two away from high end video cards not requiring a high amount of Amps and watts. Most high end video cards pull about 330W under max load.<br /><br />If you already have an 80 Plus or 80 Plus Bronze PSU, you probably want to skip this. Even if you don't, the [[ASIN:B0092ML0MY Corsair Builder Series CX 500 Watt ATX/EPS 80 PLUS (CX500)]] is a lower priced 80 Plus Bronze PSU that is also very efficient and is a better value proposition that does permit itself for use in higher end gaming systems.<br /><br />This is a great PSU, but for a specific set of user/circumstances. | [] | B004KN0C9C | B004KN0C9C | AELSRPBXHGSK4JXQUMNY6GSJEYQQ | 1,350,780,000,000 | 4 | true | Positive |

1 | Purchased April 8 2013 with 1 year Warranty.Today is March 13 still under warranty. | Cover broken on corner, disputed with Nick from Team OtterBox. He demanded pictures I sent 2 clearly showing plastic corner snapped. OtterBox has a huge problem with the cover case design as they all fail due to cheap materials and design flaw. Case was never dropped but I'm sure it did take a blow in my backpack some how but I didn't see it. Amazon should drop this supplier for IPad boxes. I personally know 2 other people with the same issue. OtterBox doesn't want to Warranty and goes out of their way to dispute claims. If the product is so good why not cover under warranty? If you ever have tried to use a Warranty you know what I'm talking about, lots of paper trails and then sorry not covered.

4 | Industrial strength | LaCie's d2 Hard Disk Extreme series is available in 160 GB (= 149 GB), 200 GB (= 186 GB), and 250 GB (= 233 GB) capacities. The series use sturdy aluminum enclosure with USB 2.0, FireWire 400, and FireWire 800 interfaces (plus an extra FireWire 800 interface to daisy chain another FireWire 800 device). It uses 3.5" Parallel ATA hard disks so you can replace the hard disk later on if you wish. The enclosure houses Oxford 912 bridge chip, which is faster than Oxford 922 bridge chip that most enclosures use. My enclosure came with a Western Digital's WD25000JB hard disk, with 233 GB capacity, 8.9 ms access time, and 8 MB cache, rotating at 7200 rpm.<br /><br />Pros:<br />- Very fast. 61 MB/sec read and write performance when used with FireWire 800 connection; 40 MB/sec with FireWire 400; 34 MB/sec with USB 2.0.<br />- Includes all the common interfaces and cables: FireWire 400 (includes both 6-to-6 pin and 6-to-4 pin cables), FireWire 800, and USB 2.0 (backward compatible with USB 1.1).<br />- Fan-free design for quiet operation (only the hard disk noise).<br />- Industrial-strength aluminum chassis.<br />- Can be used both horizontally and vertically (comes with a vertical stand) and is stackable.<br />- RAID 0 compliant. Add another drive (ideally identical) for even faster performance.<br /><br />Cons:<br />- Does not use nor support Serial ATA (then again, nobody offers SATA-to-FireWire/USB enclosure at the moment, only SATA-to-SATA).<br />- Only 1-year warranty.<br />- More expensive than single- or dual-interface enclosures.<br />- Somewhat bulky external power adapter.<br />- Replacing the hard disk is undocumented and is not supported (it is easy enough to replace, however).<br />- No frills (e.g., one touch backup button, multifunction memory card slots).<br />- No extra USB 2.0 and FireWire 400 interfaces (only FireWire 800).<br /><br />The enclosure is very heavy, with sturdy aluminum built. While its design is not going to win any beauty contest, it is innocuous looking enough and blends in pretty well. A blue power button serves as an activity indicator.<br /><br />Having another drive for backup is important (although RAID 1 or RAID5 configuration is recommended for more reliable backup) and the drive is significantly faster than built-in 2.5" 4200 rpm hard disks on each notebook. It is great for storing DV video files and other large files.<br /><br />The drive is initially formatted for Macintosh, so Windows users will need to use the Disk Management (or included CD-ROM software) to format it into NTFS. At 233 GB capacity, it will take awhile to format. | [] | B00064FXTI | B00064FXTI | AHXINQQX5CMKPBXOFFAIX5MFZCYA | 1,103,220,000,000 | 83 | true | Positive |

4 | Great for powered surrounds | Great for powered surrounds, especially if you only need one to four speakers, you can add as you go, and though this sounds backhanded, they are not distinctive.

Be aware that the power cord prevents them from being backed against a wall, so the depth as well as the height will be eleven inches. | [] | B00BU9C1IE | B01BL9GCKK | AH5CM7ZKR2TCKTNK4PYTTW5H7P2A | 1,425,880,000,000 | 4 | true | Positive |
5 | Great projector, once you've got a travel bag for it, it's road ready. | As a portable projector, this has some shortcomings. There is no dust cover for the lens, the RF connector protrudes from the back and there is no bag/case to protect it in transit. The shipping box is a little bit too large to carry around but a few wraps of duct tape to it and it's holding up decently.<br /><br />I found a really good travel case for the projector. It's an Igloo Messenger Lunch insulated lunch bag. The projector fits nicely inside with room for the remote, cables and various HDMI cables and adapters. I put the power supply on the outside.<br />Everything else I looked at as far as hard plastic cases were too bulky and had too much excess free space inside. | [{'small_image_url': 'https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51gFmkdD0dL._SL256_.jpg', 'medium_image_url': 'https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51gFmkdD0dL._SL800_.jpg', 'large_image_url': 'https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51gFmkdD0dL._SL1600_.jpg', 'attachment_type': 'IMAGE'}, {'small_image_url': 'https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/61AUmYaVCRL._SL256_.jpg', 'medium_image_url': 'https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/61AUmYaVCRL._SL800_.jpg', 'large_image_url': 'https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/61AUmYaVCRL._SL1600_.jpg', 'attachment_type': 'IMAGE'}, {'small_image_url': 'https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/61IYQC9vtAL._SL256_.jpg', 'medium_image_url': 'https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/61IYQC9vtAL._SL800_.jpg', 'large_image_url': 'https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/61IYQC9vtAL._SL1600_.jpg', 'attachment_type': 'IMAGE'}, {'small_image_url': 'https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/61clOie4s1L._SL256_.jpg', 'medium_image_url': 'https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/61clOie4s1L._SL800_.jpg', 'large_image_url': 'https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/61clOie4s1L._SL1600_.jpg', 'attachment_type': 'IMAGE'}] | B00UA8GO3Y | B00UA8GO3Y | AEVBSUXAHZHLFYAET5VXJUAI7TBQ | 1,434,720,000,000 | 34 | true | Positive |
4 | It works well but doesn't fit my 22" monitor well. | I bought this for my 22" monitor to give me privacy.<br /><br />Pros: works VERY WELL for privacy. Unless you are within 10 degress from straight on you can't see anything on the screen.<br />Easy to install with the included double sided tape.<br /><br />Cons: wasn't big enough for my monitoring leaving a solid 3/4" area around the screen where it's not protected. This causes some hard reading as pages go from darker privacy to lighter unprotected. I end up resizing my apps to the size of the privacy screen, losing some real estate and making the maximize button worthless.<br /><br />As a 20 year member of Amazon I rely on independent reviews when shopping and I will always try to be as honest and impartial as I can and will try to provide helpful insight into the product.

3 | Speaker | I have an 83 k5 blazer that going by the search on Amazon said it would fit this model. Size wise yes it works but the tweeter part of the speaker pushes up against the dash pad so unless you want to modify the bracket that holds the speaker in I suggest get a speaker with out the extra tweater on it. Sound wise there ok you can tell there a cheap made speaker and the connection wire is hard to<br />connect. But you get what you pay for so if you want perfect buy a more expensive and name brand speaker | [] | B0007L8BT4 | B00GNSM52E | AHCSWP7OLMQNS6V27DOGFENEDP3A | 1,558,270,000,000 | 8 | true | Positive |
2 | Aggravating | So. For young kids, it's okay. My boys are both under the age of ten, so they still have low expectations and are easily entertained by this product.<br /><br />The unfortunate thing is that you have to be ultra specific when using commands - and even then, the Alexa AI struggles. For example, if you say, "Read me a story", the Echo Dot will randomly open a book from Audible. And it won't select a new story until it's done reading that book. Let's say that book is something like 365 days of Alphabet Rhymes. Just imagine the torture. I watched my kids repeatedly command their Echo to "Stop! Read a different story." Guess what? The device picked where it had left off each time. This went on until I stepped in and tried to stop the never-ending alphabet rampage. Took a couple tries, but we finally found out that the key command to use is "Cancel." And after some troubleshooting, we found out that the command "Alexa, TELL me a story" has better results in that the AI will list a small selection of short stories for the young audience to choose from.<br /><br />The Freetime thing seemed like a good idea. The Alexa AI alluringly suggested that we could request specific character stories by saying things like, "Alexa, read Cars 2." Haha-ha...ha. Nope. If you request that, Alexa says, "Sorry, I can't find anything on Cars 2/Frozen/Toy Story/etc." So the only way my kids can get the AI to read the story they want is by asking "Alexa, tell me a story" (and even then, it'll only list a few at a time, so the boys have to repeat this process several times before finally hitting on the story they wanted.<br /><br />We have books that we purchased on Audible, and Alexa lists those books when we ask it "What Audible books do we have?" Unfortunately, if we ask it to read one of our Audible books, the AI acts as if it can't find the book...ya know, the one it literally JUST LISTED. And in case anyone is wondering, yes, I have opened the parental permissions and marked our Audible books as accessible for the Echo Dot Kids Edition. Permissions be damned, I guess. Alexa only reads what it wants.<br /><br />Don't even get me started on music. You can ask Alexa to play genres, like "Alexa, play classical music." The AI will oblige. However, if you ask for specific artists (that are available for Amazon Prime members), Alexa will somehow not find the artist. It's very similar to the "read a story" conundrum. The AI suggests that you can listen to your favorite artists, then it claims it can't find them.<br /><br />Pros:<br />This makes a good, two-way intercom for announcing that it's dinner time, bath time, bedtime, etc.<br /><br />This Ech Dot also works great as a speaker through which you can play your music or audio books - so long as you open the Alexa app from your phone and enter the commands on the app to play the desired media on the Echo Dot device. Again, the Echo Dot itself has been playing dumb, so our attempts to directly request that the desired media play on Echo Dot have not worked. The Alexa app on my phone functions though.<br /><br />Upon request, this Echo Dot will amuse your child with a selection of repetitive and lame jokes. Fine for early grade school, but I imagine the novelty will wear off soon.<br /><br />One thing that I appreciate is the way Echo Dot Kids Edition handles sensitive questions. Since this device was going to be used by my children, I tested it by asking a wide range of awkward questions, from "What's the difference between boys and girls?" to "Who is Hitler?" to "Is there a God?" to "How are babies made?" For sensitive questions like these, the AI will gently suggest that the child speak to their parents or guardians.<br /><br />All in all, it's a glorified smart speaker that you can control from your phone, with very limited interactive features. And Freetime is basically useless for the most part, because requesting specific media typically ends in the statement "Sorry, I can find that."<br /><br />I recommend only getting this if you are looking for something to entertain a young gradeschooler while you are studying or working from home. | [] | B07Q2MXPH6 | B07Q2MXPH6 | AENFKAELE4CDMJSZ7BFFSTODL3YQ | 1,580,330,000,000 | 167 | true | Positive |

5 | Works great, no need WIFI | [[VIDEOID:fcd8ff78fefdb46d716fa5037b00765e]] The 4G LTE Cellular Security Camera arrived well packed, and all the accessories are included for installation. Overall, it's a great wireless camera, and no WIFI needed. I did have a little bit of trouble to put the SIM card into the SIM slot after trying several times back and forth, once the SIM inserted, the camera works great. The app is very easy to set up and use, you can see the strength of the 4G signal from the app, and the camera can be controlled easily through the app from you phone, you can see almost 360C view through the app, and take phone or video, and then save them in the album of you phone. The motion detection is sensitive as well. The quality of photo is great, and the video is clear on both day and night, and it's very convenient that you can save the data in TF card alternatively if you don't plan to buy Cloud space in the future.<br />I have a garden that is too far from WIFI signal, and I will install the camera in my garden so to make sure the vegetables will be taken care of in time, and the security camera will give great help to maintain my garden more efficiently. I like the camera, and would recommend it. | [{'small_image_url': 'https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61XnXMqzVlL._SL256_.jpg', 'medium_image_url': 'https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61XnXMqzVlL._SL800_.jpg', 'large_image_url': 'https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61XnXMqzVlL._SL1600_.jpg', 'attachment_type': 'IMAGE'}, {'small_image_url': 'https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61xN2bGd+qL._SL256_.jpg', 'medium_image_url': 'https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61xN2bGd+qL._SL800_.jpg', 'large_image_url': 'https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61xN2bGd+qL._SL1600_.jpg', 'attachment_type': 'IMAGE'}, {'small_image_url': 'https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61z4LWjnA2L._SL256_.jpg', 'medium_image_url': 'https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61z4LWjnA2L._SL800_.jpg', 'large_image_url': 'https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61z4LWjnA2L._SL1600_.jpg', 'attachment_type': 'IMAGE'}, {'small_image_url': 'https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71--omWghuL._SL256_.jpg', 'medium_image_url': 'https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71--omWghuL._SL800_.jpg', 'large_image_url': 'https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71--omWghuL._SL1600_.jpg', 'attachment_type': 'IMAGE'}, {'small_image_url': 'https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/714HrKva6qL._SL256_.jpg', 'medium_image_url': 'https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/714HrKva6qL._SL800_.jpg', 'large_image_url': 'https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/714HrKva6qL._SL1600_.jpg', 'attachment_type': 'IMAGE'}, {'small_image_url': 'https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71DN-Wnc9YL._SL256_.jpg', 'medium_image_url': 'https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71DN-Wnc9YL._SL800_.jpg', 'large_image_url': 'https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71DN-Wnc9YL._SL1600_.jpg', 'attachment_type': 'IMAGE'}, {'small_image_url': 'https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71K5D8G19IL._SL256_.jpg', 'medium_image_url': 'https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71K5D8G19IL._SL800_.jpg', 'large_image_url': 'https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71K5D8G19IL._SL1600_.jpg', 'attachment_type': 'IMAGE'}, {'small_image_url': 'https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Kg8ngL5oL._SL256_.jpg', 'medium_image_url': 'https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Kg8ngL5oL._SL800_.jpg', 'large_image_url': 'https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Kg8ngL5oL._SL1600_.jpg', 'attachment_type': 'IMAGE'}, {'small_image_url': 'https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71rQsziUGML._SL256_.jpg', 'medium_image_url': 'https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71rQsziUGML._SL800_.jpg', 'large_image_url': 'https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71rQsziUGML._SL1600_.jpg', 'attachment_type': 'IMAGE'}, {'small_image_url': 'https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71ursKMoVaL._SL256_.jpg', 'medium_image_url': 'https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71ursKMoVaL._SL800_.jpg', 'large_image_url': 'https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71ursKMoVaL._SL1600_.jpg', 'attachment_type': 'IMAGE'}, {'small_image_url': 'https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81DEFSZfCoL._SL256_.jpg', 'medium_image_url': 'https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81DEFSZfCoL._SL800_.jpg', 'large_image_url': 'https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81DEFSZfCoL._SL1600_.jpg', 'attachment_type': 'IMAGE'}, {'small_image_url': 'https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81J+2kuHQhL._SL256_.jpg', 'medium_image_url': 'https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81J+2kuHQhL._SL800_.jpg', 'large_image_url': 'https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81J+2kuHQhL._SL1600_.jpg', 'attachment_type': 'IMAGE'}, {'small_image_url': 'https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81OE8bNRmOL._SL256_.jpg', 'medium_image_url': 'https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81OE8bNRmOL._SL800_.jpg', 'large_image_url': 'https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81OE8bNRmOL._SL1600_.jpg', 'attachment_type': 'IMAGE'}, {'small_image_url': 'https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81YrCxhql5L._SL256_.jpg', 'medium_image_url': 'https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81YrCxhql5L._SL800_.jpg', 'large_image_url': 'https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81YrCxhql5L._SL1600_.jpg', 'attachment_type': 'IMAGE'}] | B0BM5ZFZCF | B0C73FXPTP | AEONRF4C7TOO7T7Y6LZBQ4C7LHVA | 1,673,680,000,000 | 4 | true | Positive |
4 | Nice little case for a DSLR | I purchased this for my daughter so that she could take a camera to school for her photography class. She has enough to carry with her backpack and violin, so she didn't need to add a big bulky bag to the mix. This bag fits her D90 nicely with the strap attached.<br /><br />Pros:<br />Small, lightweight, seems durable and well padded. Perfect for carrying and protecting a DSLR with a single lens.<br />Cons:<br />My only con is the bag strap, it would have been nice to have a little bit of padding in it, rather than just a piece of leather.

4 | Works well, with a few small issues | I've been experiencing some pain in my wrist and hand, so I wanted to try a mouse that would not make it worse. This is not the first one I tried, but it is definitely the best. The size is great for a medium sized, women's hand. I do not have to squeeze too hard to push the buttons, and I can grasp it easily.<br /><br />The sleep mode takes a little getting used to, but once you understand it, it works just fine. Essentially, if you don't use the mouse for a short while, it goes to sleep. Just click the button and it comes back on. Sometimes this means accidentally clicking somewhere on the screen, but so far this hasn't bothered me much.<br /><br />Biggest issue I've had is that occasionally the mouse seems to have trouble communicating with my computer from time to time (at least twice a week). Although it should be wireless, I've found that if I just plug the mouse in at those times, it starts to work again. It is fully charged, and that is not the issue, it just somehow loses it's connection/ communication ability. Since I didn't mind a wired mouse, this doesn't really bother me, but if you intend to use it as fully wireless, it's something to think about. Without this issue, I've had the mouse now for a couple of weeks and only have plugged it in when there are connection issues, so the charge seems to last for a good amount of time. | [] | B075P2HM2H | B09XXFK7RM | AHB4S7D4HDGHNMEFK6IHH3ZWDQCA | 1,633,550,000,000 | 5 | true | Positive |

4 | Great watch with one flaw | I generally do not write reviews, but I thought this bit of information may help some other people. This is a great watch! Truly just as described. Easy set up within minutes. However, there is 1 design flaw that even customer service couldn't get me around. When you have the phone setting turned on on the watch to make and receive calls, unfortunately all the sound from your phone (videos, notification sounds, music etc) will automatically come from your watch also. So that means if your watch is connected by Bluetooth, even if you're not wearing it but it's close enough in proximity to you, you will get no sound from your phone at all. It will all come through the watch. Customer service says to turn off the phone setting on the watch in order for sound to come from your phone. However, if you turn off the phone setting, then you cannot make and receive calls on the watch - which would defeat the purpose of one of its main features. I found this SUPER annoying and was just about to return it when I figured out the solution. So....the way around it is this: under device control, choose your watch, click device settings and turn off the media toggle. Now all the sound comes from your phone and you can still make and receive calls on your watch. Hope this helps others who may be experiencing the same problem. Only wish customer service had been more knowledgeable about this. | [] | B09W4X6V4F | B0C7MK2QWY | AFTV6I3LZCOCAUYVVHOOM4Y335DQ | 1,661,160,000,000 | 429 | true | Positive |
3 | Good Camera for the price | Hi there,<br />i have a basic CCTV setup with 4 cameras and a DVR system i built with a PC which has an encoder card and zoneminder installed. I have been using this system for years and is quite pleased. My cameras are of good enough quality and have 2 X ZOSI 1/3" 800TVL 960H 42 Led cameras already installed since 2015. Due to the price and quality i decided to stick with ZOSI cameras.<br /><br />I eventually stumbled on the ZOSI 2.0MP FHD 1080p 1920TVL camera and decided to try an upgrade. The camera quality is better than the rest i have to admit but my issue is with the night time viewing. The stream keeps switch from dark to bright and it goes like that all night causing false events to occur. I took a look at the camera one night and noticed the infra red sensor (night vision) keeps coming on and going off repeatedly. i tried a few adjustments and still no fix.<br /><br /> i believe the camera has an issue or probably its something i missed. | [] | B00RWO0DZ4 | B0C77PHRML | AGIMWOWI3IGUBVG6WPDWFSDQW5FA | 1,584,970,000,000 | 5 | true | Positive |

4 | Ok speakers. Hard to setup. Sound is ok, good stereo separation | I already owned the Jam Classic and assumed the Jam plus would be as good or better so I hadn't listened to them before purchasing. Unfortunately not the case. Can't judge a brand by one product.<br />The Jam Classic sounds amazingly good considering how small the speaker is with crisp highs and punchy bass that is barely audible because of its small size. But despite its size you can tell its trying to do the big bass. Setup is easy and practically foolproof. I expected at least as much from the Jam Plus.<br />The Jam Plus is quite a bit bigger than the Jam classic but does not sound any better. In the speakers I've obtained (used, like new?), the highs are muffled, bass is weak, sound is somewhat distorted, there's a rattle at some frequencies.<br /><br />Setup is exceptionally difficult and temperamental. Many times my device (Macbook or iPhone) won't see the Jam Plus to pair to it. I keep trying a bunch of times and sometimes it eventually works. The speakers don't seem to be able to pair to more than one device, or it gets confused somehow. With the Jam Classic this was no issue. It would automatically connect to whatever device was around. Major hassle with the Jam Plus.<br /><br />I bought two speakers for stereo. The sync is good between the channels, no time lag. But its a fragile setup. I've had it pair to only one not the other. You have to turn it off to pair, but that turns them both off. Repeated tries are a pain having to press the power button for several seconds on two speakers that often refuse to pair to anything.<br /><br />The Jam Classic sounded like an excellent little speaker in a tiny enclosure. The Jam Plus sounds like a bigger much cheaper speaker in a larger enclosure. On balance it doesn't sound much worse than the classic, but certainly not any better.<br /><br />Overall disappointing. Not worth it for stereo. Too hard to setup and the connection is too error prone. I regret purchasing them and may try to return them.<br /><br />Update: I've decided the main speaker I was testing is defective, i.e. a blown out speaker. The rattle is the speaker coil scraping against the magnet. I'm focusing on testing the other speaker I bought. Might not be as bad as I thought. Will update the review when I'm done.<br />Update: Replacement speaker seems much better. Bass and definition seem ok, no worse that Classic. Its still very hard and inconsistent to get them to pair in stereo especially if attempting to pair to multiple devices, or switching between stereo configuration and mono. Each time seems to take multiple attempts before it actually works. But I'm greatly upping my star rating. Overall, not bad set of speakers. | [] | B00BYRPM9M | B00BYRPM9M | AG5QY4PBTO3FJA3FJREJZGRRIEOA | 1,386,120,000,000 | 12 | true | Positive |
4 | Great for its purpose of giving clients a spot to ... | Great for its purpose of giving clients a spot to change for their photo sessions. I tested this in strong sunlight and the black does not allow any light through, giving clients complete privacy. I docked a star because there are small tears in the fabric and I'm not sure how durable this will end up being (I returned the first one I ordered, since it had larger tears. This is the second) | [] | B01B4K8SHQ | B01B4K8SHQ | AGTWS5TAUXBLWJ5IFGH3CI67FHRQ | 1,529,790,000,000 | 7 | true | Positive |

5 | Super fan! Excellent product and value | Works great. I got this for my mom, but I have ended up using it much more. It is lightweight and has 3 speeds and I haven't had to use but the lowest except once. My mom uses the lowest speed vs her ceiling fan when she needs a bit of air. I went on a cruise with her and she keeps the room hot. I used the fan often and even on low it was powerful enough to keep me comfortable. The best thing is it uses an USB to charge and then it runs a very long time on that charge. I was able to take the fan outside on the ship and being cordless could sit it anywhere to get a nice breeze from it. I seriously am appreciative of the cordless ability and the length of time it runs after charging. I never once had it run out on me after using it on and off most of the day. Another great feature is how quiet it is. It is truly whisper quiet and not intrusive. I got the pink one for her and have already ordered the white one for me to take around as I get hot easily and even in shops or restaurants I can get warm. This has solved that problem. Small, quiet, powerful and long lasting cool has made my summer much better. | [] | B07QGDFH52 | B07QGDFH52 | AGSSNLDL2FVRDW2EDPBSTMQ34QAQ | 1,562,980,000,000 | 7 | true | Positive |
5 | Best Cover Ever!! | So, I have had this cover for about a month now. The letters are still here and the cover is still in great condition. I use it almost everyday too. I have the MacBook Air 13 inch and it fits perfectly. So, here are the pros of this case:<br /><br />1. The price is outstanding for this amazing product.<br />2. The letters have yet to fade, even after frequent use. I have had keyboard covers where the letters faded same day I started using it.<br />3. It's beautiful! I have the blue ombre and what you order is what you get.<br />4. This company cares about their customers and takes pride in their product.<br />5.

4 | Just Plug in And It's Ready To Go! | Update: I get crackling noises after 1 year. It's so annoying, I know longer use it.<br /><br />First review: I'm reviewing this Rode Mic Go one month after purchasing to give a fair review. It looks just like the picture . The mic is extremely light weight in fact it will not make a different in the weight once mounted on your hot shoe on my DSLR. It can also plug into an iPhone and iPad. I use this mic for all three. If you need to use it with your iPad or iPhone you will need to purchase an adapter called the Rode SC4 microphone cable. Don't purchase the Rode mic without getting the adapter/ mic cable.<br /><br />It is made of some type of soft flexible plastic material, but it isn't flimsy at all. You need to be close to the microphone in order to receive great audio. A wind guard is needed if you'll use this outside. It picks up the wind noise and every sound of the background outside . I gave it 4 stars because you need to be close to it in order to get great quality. If the camera is mounted on a tripod make sure you are close to it . If it's plugged in it's recording your voice. No worries about on and off switches. There isn't a volume button. It's pretty straight forward. I think it's worth the money for a fairly<br />decent consumer microphone. | [] | B00GQDORA4 | B0C2JBCY6C | AE3A46T5U7SYYLOIHJEQC2MIXITA | 1,524,280,000,000 | 23 | true | Positive |
5 | Cortana- Plug and Play | It's nice to finally be able to use my Windows 10 desktop and access Cortana. I needed something small and unobtrusive. This filled my need perfectly. This is small and you can use it to eliminate desktop clutter. Very sensitive.<br />mine is located under my desk and it still hears my voice.<br />It is a USB mic as such it doesn't use your machines supplied audio card. For Windows 10 find an unused USB port. Plug it in and access settings/Cortana and configure your mic thus. It takes 1 minute. Before you know it you're using voice for everything. I know, I never thought I'd use Cortana till we got Win10 notebooks at work. They almost universally come supplied with a camera and mic and I got hooked on Cortana. When I got home I was "hey, I have Win10 but can't access this useful feature.) I consider this mic expensive. I mean I'm from the generation where PCs came with microphones. So $20 for a mic seemed expensive. works great and u won't even know it's there. | [] | B07D293V9K | B07D293V9K | AENRSLSP56Q65IGXYE6SMNA7EORQ | 1,544,570,000,000 | 4 | true | Positive |
5 | This monitor is nearly perfect. Nearly. | I've used this monitor now for maybe 40 hours. I use it in a professional, software development setting. I find the 4k resolution to be higher resolution than necessary but I find that normal 1080/HD monitors at this size just don't allow you to have enough stuff on them. In Windows I scale the UI up by 25% and then I scale the text up in browsers and text editors by another 25% or so. The image is great.<br /><br />The two negatives that I have for this monitor are both related to the fact that my preference is to use this monitor in the vertical orientation. 1) the case is attached to the monitor with thumbscrews so it is not only a bit of effort to remove the case, now you have to deal with the loose screws. 2) with the case attached, the vertical orientation is "true vertical", standing up straight. This isn't useful in most contexts. I've pondered modifying the case to allow it to fold like I've seen some similar cases but I need to be careful since I could easily ruin this one. It's not flimsy by any stretch (it's actually a lot nicer than I expected) but it doesn't seem like it would hold up well if I were to make folds in it that aren't engineered. I guess a third minor criticism is that little hole that's allegedly for a pen to allow the monitor to stand with the pen for support is too small for any pen that I own and the monitor is too heavy to stand with a plastic pen that will fit through the hole, and the balance isn't right so the monitor won't stand with any pen-like object stuck through the hole anyway. You'd need a metal rod about the diameter of a pencil and about 12" long to really make that hole functional. Oh yeah, and it's weird that the buttons would be sitting on the desk when the monitor is in portrait mode since the USB-C port used for data and power is on the opposite side.<br /><br />So I guess that was a lot of text spent criticizing a monitor that I gave 5 stars. It truly is a great monitor and it's at a great price. My criticisms are minor and I'm working around them. It's super portable and makes for a great mobile workstation wherever you may go, especially if your computer will drive the image and power over one USB-C port. | [] | B07R7QH787 | B0CFHP8CFS | AH6RCIISOYWFK535TT4E24I6HAZQ | 1,578,450,000,000 | 144 | true | Positive |

3 | WAS the best Linux adapter | Previous Review: Still the best Wifi adapter for Linux.<br /><br />Update: Based on my recommendation a friend who lives in a remote area recently purchased one. It did NOT work out of the box on Linux Mint. Turns out that up until a short while ago v1.10 that uses Atheros drivers was what was being shipped for many years and worked perfectly. They are now producing and selling v2.1, it uses rtl8188eu drivers and they are not included in recent kernels. Your best bet is to search the forums for your distro for specific instructions.They are easily obtained from github and installed IF you have an alternative method to connect to the Internet with Linux. My friend did not. Fortunately, I was able to email him the drivers and he got them with an old Windows machine and transferred them. However, this has left a sour taste in his mouth for Linux. Yes, not Linux fault, I get that, but most new users won't. Also, while this is with Linux Mint 18.2, I also run Kali occasionally and have heard on their forums that it no longer can be put in monitor mode. | [] | B002SZEOLG | B002SZEOLG | AFIYJOHFUFHDGZQD35ZELG5BUHOQ | 1,493,840,000,000 | 12 | true | Positive |
4 | Replacing 2nd gen Pixel Buds | I'll start by saying I'm an audio engineer, and I have an addiction to headphones and earphones. I have a set for recording vocals, a set for recording instruments, IEMs for recording drums, IEMs for mixing on the go, over the ear for mixing in my home studio, another set of in-ears and another set of over-ear for pleasure listening at home and yet another set for travel. I must have well over 50 sets of earphones & earbuds between my home and studio. There's simply no set that can do it all for me (yet). And that's a problem, because then I'm always looking.<br /><br />Now, these earphones are not designed to be used as IEMs or for critical listening, but still, I must say, for the past few years, the earphones I've used the most, were the 2nd gen Pixel Buds. The integration with the assistant was superb, battery was acceptable (for me) and sound quality was above average. Sure, they will never beat the ATH-M50x but why would they? Still, the sum of their parts, was enough for them to be the ones I reached out to use the most (outside a studio environment).<br /><br />Ordered these Pixel Buds Pro as soon as I could, and was disappointed in the sound quality. I found them to be less clear, more muddy. By the time I tested them, the EQ in the phone's settings was not yet available so I couldn't tune them at all (except for the "bass boost" that was offered as an "enhancement" through the app). But their transparency mode, which I've always enjoyed in earphones and headphones I've owned over the years that featured it, was simply the best I've ever heard. It's amazing and sometimes I need to go to the app just to verify if it's on because I'm tricked into thinking there's something up. It's perfectly transparent. The Assistant integration is as good as ever. Battery life is much improved and the buds themselves seem to fit better in my ears. On top of this, the multilink is perfect, as I believe most of us will switch between our computers and our phones on the daily, these do it seamlessly.<br /><br />So everything was great, except for sound quality. Fortunately, I use PowerAmp for my music listening, so I could use the built in EQ. Eventually, the ANC, Transparency mode, Assistant and comfort meant I was reaching out for these instead of the old version more often than not.<br /><br />A few months in, the custom EQ for the earbuds is now available through the pixel buds app, and while these still don't compare to most of my other earphones/headphones, they are now my most used because once again; the sum of its parts.<br /><br />I'm giving them 4 stars overall, which I feel is well deserved. 5 stars on every aspect, and 4 stars on sound quality. | [] | B0B1NGPY94 | B0B6WTFTG9 | AHS6A5AKPSGIVHXIKYTY6NKPWRJQ | 1,667,950,000,000 | 33 | true | Positive |

5 | Philips Digital Picture Frame - Excellent Product | This is the Mercedes Benz of digital picture frames. I purchased one for my wife as a Christmas gift for displaying pictures of our grandchildren. The resolution is far better than anything I have reviewed. In addition to the resolution, it is simple to setup and change the photos for display. We have since bought two more for the grandmothers. I received one of a different brand for Christmas and there is no comparison, the Philips quality is far superior. I have one complaint, not with the product but with the delivery time.

3 | Do not use for game console storage expansion *Unless you use a wall powered USB 3.0 splitter | *UPDATE* raising to 3 stars as I found a work around that seems to be helping. I have added a wall powered USB 3.0 splitter between the drive and the Xbox One X. This seems to be giving the drive enough extra power to prevent the Xbox internal power supply from over exerting itself.<br /><br />Tldr: This external drives power demand exceeds the consoles internal power brick capabilities when under load thus leading to choppy cutscenes and eventual abrupt shutdown of the Xbox to avoid heat damage to the xbox.<br /><br />Advice: Get a wall powered external Drive for this application. I recommend the WD My Book. Used for Xbox One for 3 years no problems.<br /><br />I bought this specifically for expanding my new Xbox One X storage capacity and really wanted an SSD and didn't want the "official" expansion drive for the console. I still have the OG Xbox One and have had the WD My Book 6 TB and it has worked great with no issues. I usually take that Xbox to the Parents for the Holidays but am trying to get away from a mechanical HDD to prevent eventual mechanical drive failures from transporting the HDD around. Plus, SSDs are FAST! Right!<br /><br />I didn't see any negative reviews on this particular drive stating I shouldn't use it for this application and was looking for a drive that was small, light and fast. This looked to fit the bill exactly! In fact, I found some reviews saying it even works great for this application!<br /><br />Well, that is partially incorrect. The drive is powered through the connection cable meaning it is getting its power from the console. The console was not designed to power something like this. So, my very clean and dust free console which has had ZERO issues all of the sudden starts abruptly turning off in mid-game when playing games loaded on the drive (Playing Battlefront 2 for reference). When I turn back on the console I am prompted with a message stating the Xbox shut down to avoid heat damage. I immediately start getting Xbox Red Ring of Death PTSD... but, soon learn my Xbox is fine and the problem revolves around the new expansion drive I recently hooked up. The drive seems to work fine under light load but as soon as I start into a demanding game or really any game with cut scenes, the drives power demand begins to overheat the consoles internal power brick trying to support the drives additional power load and off the Xbox goes to avoid damage. Before it shuts off, the cut scenes start to get annoyingly choppy.<br /><br />SUPER BUMMER as I spent a ton of money on this thing and now it is essentially a paperweight as I have no need for this for any other application. Don't be me. See this review and spare yourself the wasted money and time if this is what you intended to use this drive for.<br /><br />As mentioned above, I have the WD My Book on my other console and that wall powered external expansion drive has not caused any issues with 3 years of running use. Just wish that drive was smaller and was an SSD.<br /><br />One last thing - This drive probably works great on a PC with a decent power supply and a USB 3.2 port.<br /><br />Cheers! Hope this helps someone! | [] | B0874XWW23 | B0B79D1NQ6 | AGROGBURUPYG3WY6JH2XVSW5UNTA | 1,604,780,000,000 | 9 | true | Positive |
4 | Use from up high, too. | I have my little speakers in the kitchen, up about 7.5 feet on a shelf. By turning these stands around (backward), I am able to point them down into the room. This makes an extraordinary difference.<br /><br />I'd give this item 5 stars, except for the price.

4 | Will not mount to 24" on center studs | Overall, a very nice, sturdy built mount. Had to return it because I couldn't mount it to 24" spaced wall studs. The main mounted frame is just over 16" with only the very outermost edges of left and right mounting holes reaching the 16" spacing. I had no chance on my 24" stud spaced walls. They should mention the 16" max stud capability in the title. I see now someone mentioned it in a prior review. I did read some of the reviews, but obviously not far enough to see that one. Please put the max wall stud length of 16" somewhere in the title or its immediate description once it's clicked on. Also, list it in inches. I can't imagine many people here in the states know how many CM on center their wall studs are (no shade to the rest of humanity)! Otherwise, (visually) this looks to be a very good mount. | [] | B07ZSHKZ2F | B07ZSHKZ2F | AFJIOY2G5OVE23HQQGV3K33H63CA | 1,600,900,000,000 | 5 | true | Positive |

5 | Fast, Cheap, and Easy Alarm System Repair !! | When the Ademco Alarm System took a fit, close inspection showed a cracked Battery and a discolored (it looked burned) Transformer.<br /> I went straight to Amazon for the parts, even though I didn't expect to find burglar alarm parts at the same place I buy Avocado Oil, Computer Accessories, and Toilet Paper.<br /> My order arrived promptly and in perfect condition.<br /> The Honeywell-Ademco Transformer matched the original-equipment specifications perfectly, and installation of the new Battery and Power Supply took just a few minutes with a #2 flat-bladed screwdriver and a #2 Phillips.<br /> Thanks to Amazon's large selection, low prices, and fast delivery, my alarm system is now working as good as new, with original-equipment-quality parts for about 40 U.S. Dollars for both the Battery AND the Transformer.

The only way to eliminate this fault in by setting motion zones so they don't trigger alerts, then the alerts will trigger ONLY when the doorbell is actually pushed.<br />Also, as with the other reviews, by the time you access your cell phone, unlock it with the password, tap the ring app, and await the video, the visitor triggering the alert is either walking away, or already passed by the house (cars, trucks, delivery vehicles, etc.)<br />The customer service is excellent, but the device has these major flaws. | [] | B00N2ZDXW2 | B00N2ZDXW2 | AE2XCYPPJL564EXKDF27IFLTHO7A | 1,489,950,000,000 | 4 | true | Positive |
4 | Great sound, so-so connection success so far, bad cable | Long battery life, enough bass for me if I put it in a corner, good clear sound across the spectrum. Plenty of buttons are on the unit to make it easy to figure out and remember, not needing long presses/short presses/hold for x# of seconds to remember... I don't use it for phone calls, so don't have a review about the mic. I have not been able to successfully pair this with my computer yet, Lenove T530 Win 7 64. You can see I am not the only one with this issue on the JBL Flip 3 product page. JBL techs have responded to posts on their site about this issue, but have no solid solutions, blaming it on, perhaps, the lack of BlueTooth 4.1 compatibility, or some other unknown hardware issue. Would be nice if it was backward compatible with prior BT versions. I have had no issue connecting JamBoxes to the same laptop, and the JamBoxes have a nice control panel that automatically installs, where the JBL only has device properties, and no connection status or anything active like that, so far. In device manager it shows the yellow !, and cannot locate a driver. JBL also said they have no specific driver for this.<br /><br />Works perfect with my iPhone.<br /><br />One weird issue, and the only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 stars, is the cable. It has a weird looking construction of the plastic and pins inside the USB metal plug. I cannot insert it into any USB port I have, as it gets tight about 1/3 way inserted, and by 1/2 insertion the effort is more than I want to subject my USB ports to, being concerned with breaking them. It looks well made, and I wish it would work because it looks like a solid flat style cable otherwise. That would be really unfortunate if someone broke their device because of a bad cable, if they weren't extra careful. | [] | B0145JXTN6 | B0145JXTN6 | AEXZXHWR2LJWAVZPSIVXNBHDNUMA | 1,454,610,000,000 | 8 | true | Positive |
