Decent, but has drawbacks
930420
Really like the 2 usb charging ports in addition to the adapter. Works with fast charging for mobile devices.

Drawbacks: it's wide and if the plugs are side by side you may not be able to go plug this in with another item plugged in.

With the Australian plugs it falls out of the socket really easy. You have to turn them so they are not all the way sifeways, then lock it. Just kind of a pita to set up so it will stay plugged in.

I grabbed this item on 'deals' sale at Amazon.  For the price, the sound is pretty decent, though I find actually sounds better when heard from in a different room than where the speakers are located, go figure!

Two complaints that keep me from rating it higher:
1) My nano fits over the plug of course, but none of the adaptors fit it to hold it steady in place, so it sort of floats in the dock, and pressing any of the nano buttons rocks the iPod backwards.  When I checked the specs before purchasing, I thought it indicated the nano was a fit ...
2) trouble with the remote:
a:  The 'skip to next' button instead creates a stutter through the current song, and the only way to skip to the next song is to do so from the player itself.
b: Also, power vs. play seem to get confused.
I will contact Logitech and see if a replacement remote can be sent.

This is a fairly good keyboard, but there are a lot of issues I have with it. For starters, the keys are a little difficult to press (you have to push harder than I'm used to). Another problem I have with it is that it runs out of battery with the backlight on full quickly. So the wireless feature is fairly worthless. A related problem to this is the plug to charge the keyboard. I believe it is a mini usb connection. It doesn't use batteries like most wireless keyboards. The backlight isn't very bright, and for some reason it defaults to turning the backlight off after something absurdly short like 5 seconds without use. I can't remember the hotkey, but you can set it to stay on longer, but imo it should default to the always on setting.

This is a very nice product, but it does have some drawbacks.  It was relatively easy to install, but I had a few difficulties in getting it working completely properly.  First problem was that I had difficulty getting the software to recognize the bolt position (it's all motorized, obviously).  Once that was done (it's in the settings) it worked properly.  The biometric part of this is amazing and frustrating at the same time.  You have to be very consistent or it does not recognize you.  My children had a very difficult time getting three consistent scans.  Sometimes it takes three or four swipes for it to recognize me.  I would consider the biometrics to be a backup for a lost key, not vice-versa.  The software for programming is a little cumbersome, but not impossible.  I like this lock, but would suggest that if you don't absolutely need the 'no key' function that you wait for the biometrics to get better.

Hopefully I got a bad unit, as the cons outweigh the pros.

Cons:
* There's a terrible hiss when on, even at a low volume.  If you have it on a desktop in front of you, it's VERY noticeable.  However, when you play  music you can't really hear it (until the music/movie/whatever goes quiet). When you're a few feet away, the noise dissipates.
* There is a jarring, invasive, horrible clicking noise when a track pauses, or when you restart a track.  Basically, anytime there's a silence of more then one second.
* All the controls are on the bottom.  This is NOT noticeable in any of the images, nor the product description.
* The device will not pair if charging.  When the instructions say "fully charge before pairing", they mean it.
* The buttons take a lot of pressure to put down, and must be held for longer then expected
* The AUX in is on the bottom of the unit - the BOTTOM!  Thus, you can't use this as a stand an aux-player at the same time; you need to flip the unit upside down.

Pros:
* The thing is LOUD, like apartment filling loud when at max volume
* BASS is surprisingly good (Not amazing, but for the price point, very good)
* MIDS / HIGHS are also very good
* Seems durable
* Rubber has a good grip

Good product, but has its limitations and drawbacks due to the weight of ipads. Serves its purpose, and would be better with camera considerations.

This is a pretty decent product. It does a great job for most of what I want it to do, which is amplify whatever I'm listening to. It's also very durable, so I don't worry about bringing it anywhere.

The problem that I've started to have is that any music with different sounds on different channels (left/right) becomes almost intolerable. There is only one channel and so anything on the other channel just doesn't get played at all. This is very disappointing.

The other complaint I have about it is that the sounds that are played when turning the device on and off and when the Bluetooth connection is made are always VERY loud. They do not correspond to the volume setting of the device. I tried using this while my daughter was sleeping to control music in her room, but the initial "power-up" sound and the "connection" sound are SO loud.

Ultimately, this product is good, but it could be so much better!

Pros
The keyboard is lightweight so not surprisingly it feels pretty plasticky.
The keys are reasonably taut considering the overall construction.
It is loaded with alt function short cut keys that allow you to do the following: control your media, volume, bring up the keyboard, cut, paste, undo, and more.
The built in stand is genius, BUT it will only hold your iphone 5 horizontally (remember the newer phones are longer than the others)
It runs on two AA batteries, which beats internal rechargeable ones for people wanting to minimize stuff to lose.

Cons:
When pairing the keyboard for the first time or after periods of going unused, the keys will sometimes not configure correctly. (it's not a permanent thing. Type on for a bit or turn it off and on or hit the pair button again.)
The latch that holds the keyboard open is pretty flimsy. It will still give in a centimeter, so it is not ideal for use on your lap.
When the keyboard is open it's not entirely level on the table, but the wobble is negligible if you aren't ocd.

The Big Con:
The shift on the right side of the keyboard is way too far. You will have to consciously make an effort to reach it which is horrible for those of us who type using the home keys and intend to write more than just emails and social networking comments. It's also a bad feature if you switch between keyboards for other comps because you'll have to remind yourself each time you use the verbatim about this leap for the right shift.

The shame is that this inconvenience is allowed to exist simply because Verbatim wanted to keep the cross design pattern of the directional keys. Considering the keyboard is used for devices with touch screens, I hardly think the "PGUP" button is as important as the right shift key.
I say this is a Big Con, because it is all that stops me from using this as my default keyboard. Well a hardier construction over all would be nice too.

But i've had the Perioxx periboard and the Iwerkz and those didn't offer half the features the verbatim offeres and they had the exact same right shift button issue.

This is a fine canister for the price, but it has a few drawbacks.
The good news:
- it has a deep suction, which is adjustable
- it's lightweight and easy to assemble
- the machine, without the hose, has a very small footprint
The not-so-good news:
- there is a fixed, slim brush rather than rotating beaters (the deep suction partially compensates for that lack)
- the hose is so long and unwieldy that it takes more room to store than other vacuums
- the bagless cup must be emptied frequently (this is true of all bagless cups) and fine particulates spray EVERYWHERE. I strongly advise placing the cup deeply inside a trash bag before emptying it; otherwise, dirt goes into your face and onto the floor and just plain floats in the air

However, the price is good. If you're looking for an affordable, hard-working, easy to use canister vacuum, this should suit you.

A lot of people seem to pull this along by the hose. I don't recommend that, as most of the parts are plastic and this will wear them out faster. I shove it along with my foot instead. As for storage, it fits my space better when I disengage the hose, but I dislike having a hose (presumably with loose dirt lining it) in my closet, so I keep it assembled and just cram it into my closet.

This receiver is small, lightweight and very basic. It gets the job done. I did the installation myself in a few minutes and it worked fine with my generic car setup. The provided harness is well labelled and easy to connect providing stress free installation.

On the bad side, it has many issues with seeking songs and folders contained on a SD card. I love music and I'm using a Sony 8G card that's 90% full, the deck showed no problem accepting the card or reading it. Then the problems began, the first 4 folders are seek-able and can be found by the deck seeking function (10^) however the remaining folders are not, the music contained in them are found in the first 4......the SD card is normal when i check it on my laptop. This makes it really frustrating when I'm trying to get my favorite tunes. Also seeking radio stations is pretty difficult as there is no manual tune. When I'm trying to tune in to one particular frequency it automatically jumps to the stronger band and ignores the one I'm trying to get.

When B&N designed this one, they were putting together a reading device that also happened to have some tablet features. As a result, what you get is pretty limited.

It's a fairly sturdy device by feel, and not difficult to hold for a while and use. The quality of the screen is pretty good and it's not difficult to read for extended periods of time (so long as you're not out in the sun anyway, almost all LCD screens perform poorly there).

Very little of the space on the device is available for sideloaded content by default, so you need to use microsd cards to add more if you want to do too much with that.

You can sideload content from any source that uses Adobe DRM for epubs, and also epubs that don't have DRM at all. This means that getting ebooks from the library is pretty simple. You can install an Overdrive app and do it directly without going through a computer if your library uses overdrive.

You can root it to get access to more apps. If you want to run a more pure version of Android, you can go for either putting together a Cyanogenmod card yourself or purchase one already made from Nook2Android.

B&N gives away a book and an app every Friday on their blog, so that's worth checking in on regularly.

On the whole, this is an okay device for reading and can be a kind of nice semi-tablet to give to someone who normally tends to load their computers/tablets up with viruses by being carelessness. It's locked-down state works in your favor from that perspective.

For more general tablet use, this is a pretty poor choice. Also, as of mid-2013 the later devices (Nook HD/HD+) have been radically marked down, so if you're going to buy one of these you should look to get it pretty cheap. Otherwise, it'd almost certainly make more sense to hold out for something more full-featured.

The sound is good, but there are a few things about the unit that bother me.  First of all, mine came from the factory with a headphone output jack that is intermittent.  If you bump the headphone connector, the signal cuts out momentarily.  This is true with multiple headphones/cables.  This problem is compounded by the fact that the volume control is right next to the jack, and it's pretty small, so it's almost impossible to manipulate the control without bumping into the headphone connector.

Seeing as how this thing is primarily used as a personal amplifier in a monitoring setup, and mainly to control just volume, it would be nice if there was a larger and more distinctive volume control knob.  If you are wearing it on your belt while playing a gig, chances are you're not going to want, or even be able to look at it to make a volume adjustment.  A larger, more accessible volume knob that is easily distinguished from the balance knob would be good.  I can't tell you haw many times I reached down and turned the wrong knob.

Why the proprietary Y-cable with the XLR connectors?  Behringer, at half the price, managed to incorporate on-board XLR connectors, much more rugged, in my opinion.  With this unit, if you step on and rip out the Y cable, you are screwed.  Do that with a plain old XLR mic cable and chances are there is a spare readily available.

Finally, if you have your earbuds in and you power this thing up, you get a huge "pop".  This is 2017, a problem like that is inexcusable, especially at this price point.  Engineers had that figured out a long time ago.

Nice form factor. The tradeoffs in the product design limit its usefulness:

* It's nearly useless on devices with USB 2.0 interfaces
* Its driver can't co-exist with the DisplayLink drivers used by Pluggable and others

Given the price and the design limitations, I'd spend the extra bucks for another device if I had it to do over again :)

First the good:  the construction quality is decent and the arm band is stretchy enough to stay tight and not fall off during arm movements.

The bad:  firstly, you can't say this is remotely iPhone 6S Plus compatible, as you have to cut a hole for the headphone jack.  The existing holes are for some other phone.  That's minor, compared to the huge issue that the plastic screen cover keeps registering touches on the phone screen.  For the first several runs my tracking app kept pausing, the music kept skipping, because any time the plastic screen protector went taught against the phone it registered as a screen touch.  I've remedied this by cutting out the majority of the plastic.

So, if you don't mind making some modifications it is possible to successfully use this band with an iPhone 6S Plus.  If you want something to work right out of the box, this isn't it.

Pros:
-Decent battery life
-Screen isn't bad (easily damaged by pressure, though, it's been a month and there's already a permanent light spot because of my backpack)
-Speakers are at least par
-SIM slot is handy for doing work outside
Cons:
-Egregiously underpowered (even after reloading windows and disabling just about everything I could, it would still lag on basic tasks)
-Spotty palm rejection
-connectivity: Only one micro USB and a headphone jack. I have to juggle between charging and using a USB device. I like having USB charging, but a separate USB connector would be nice
-Only 32 gigs of storage: Windows takes up about 25 gigs, so that's fun
-Linux OS won't boot (important for me because I tinker and would really like to replace windows)

The Poly Lock is an intriguing idea, and for the most part it works well enough. When attached, it IS very secure, while still being sufficiently flexible for the musician to move without any issues.

The drawbacks need to be considered, however. The clips are plastic, and they're definitely breakable- though this hasn't happened to me, it's happened to other reviewers, and in using, I can definitely see the potential for part of the plastic to snap if it's accidentally moved improperly.

It's also a bit cumbersome at the ends, compared to a typical strap with leather ends, which made it hard for me to load a strapped guitar into its case. For that reason, I can't recommend it as a 'strap-and-forget' solution.

It definitely has a valid application as a more secure solution than regular straps, without the hassle of locking hardware. But the potential for it to break, as well as the rigidity of the ends, need to be taken into account.

I tried the strap with a Gibson SG, a Fender Strat, and a Yamaha NTX-700, and it worked with all three.

cool looking deck, and its ability to decompress the file while it's streaming gives an amazing quality boost. However there were a few small things that i was disappointed about. The scrolling through artists (i have over 500) the held down scrolling takes waaaay too long, making most things other than playlists impractical on time.

also, you cant go back one step in the selection process, ie: if you're on a song you cant press back to go back to the artist filter, you have to go allll the way back to music>>artists>>song, making the slow scrolling an even worse issue.

So it's great quality, price, and aesthetically pleasing. But impractical on some things.
