Half Satisfied...REVISED TO DELIGHTED

Remote wouldn't work. Will buy a new battery to hopefully fix the problem, but not crossing my fingers. Was disappointed.  REVISION:  Company contacted me and corrected the problem to my complete satisfaction.  Their dedication to customer service is exemplary.

I received this a day back and am overall satisfied. Could have been better but I accept the product with its limitations and still see inherent value in its price point in recommending it, albeit to a different audience.
First of all I had high hopes for this, I am tired of the Windows and Apple monopolies on OSes, I wanted something light, completely connected to the web as most of my needs are web based, hence the Chromebook.

Likes: Ease of use, the thing is a little tiger, just trying and trying to provide you with different Use Cases for it.
The keyboard though small, is ample to type on within 20 mins I was back to Windows level speed.
The new keys are actually an improvement over regular Fn keys, I use them way more.
Build quality is decent, I did notice that the screen can bend when pressure is applied, but the screen itself is nice and crisp.
Music and video play well, there are native apps for them, pretty neat out of the box.
Whole presentation is clear, and clean I like it.
The laptop worked with my keyboard/mouse combo through USB but I didn't like not using the new keys so reverted back to the laptop keyboard.
Free 100gb from Google, Im a cloud person, and have transferred all my documents to Google Drive and Skydrive, so this works seamlessly for me. Love it.

Cons
I was really hoping this would be a primary computer replacement, alas I doubt it:
1) I cant connect to my monitor, I purchased a HDMI to DVI adapter and there is no output. Major annoyance(I know Google is working on a fix though, along with extended desktop)
2) Citrix receiver doesnt work properly and the .ica files can't open, big annoyance.
3) If it doesnt work on my current monitor I doubt it would work on the Apple display I planned on purchasing.

Otherwise it's great, Im planning on buying 1 more for generic use around the house.
If I find answers to my Con list i'll update the review, or if someone has answers please reply.

Update1: I checked the HDMI output to a TV and another Monitor and it worked pretty well, so im guess it's a problem with my monitor. A friend told me that extended desktop support is coming really soon. Also using HDMI to Display Port you can view the output on an Apple Display i cant confirm this though.

Just what I wanted... Let my frustration out on paper!!

Update:
Looks like I did not burn them in enough when I wrote the original review. I don't know what I did, but these buds just opened up one fine day and started singing like a 'Songbird'. I have really enjoyed listening to them since then - very airy, decent base and pleasant overall character. However I have now started having a lot of issues with the cable - specifically the TRRS to TRS adapter - which just does not sit properly in my iPhone socket anymore and causes random distortions in the sound. I tried looking for a replacement, but can't find one.

Original Review:
Had high hopes given all the rave reviews, but quite disappointed. I have had this now for a couple of months and run it in extensively with all kinds of music. The sound feels like its coming through a tunnel. Even comparing with my trusty old Audio Technical CK7, these don't come close. Can't even think of comparing to my Grados. The packaging is impressive - but does not count. I would not recommend it - even at this lower price. It is possible I got a bad piece - given all the good review and comparisons I have seen - specially at the higher price earlier. Unfortunately I am on the other side of the planet from the US, so can't send it back or have it checked up.

UPDATE #2 (4 stars - Minus 1 because I had the original issue in the first place)
After some email exchanges about how upset I was that it failed so soon, Sharkk sent me a replacement speaker for free. The one I got is the newer verson and it's much sturdier and nicer than the one I purchased so I am very pleased. The cords are also a way more reasonable length so I am very happy. The newer version seems to have fixed all the issues of this one (but it doesn't do the pop in and out part). I'll take a working, sturdier speaker over a slightly adjustable cheaper made speaker anyday.

Thanks Sharkk!

---------------------------------
UPDATE (1 star) 4 months to the day after purchase this thing started to quit out on me. the cable that has the split usb charging and adapter stopped working so i kept it charging with that one because it seemed that it was just the audio side not working. now even the cable that comes out of it, the speaker won't work. Pissed because I was so happy until it just started dying out and now I can't get it to work or charge, even with a different cable. Works great for exactly 4 months. Hope that's all you need it for.  The time it did work was awesome, but I wouldnt buy it again.
-----------------------------------------
previous review 5 stars):
i waited months to make sure this would still be working before writing the review. it is! and amazingly well! i was super surprised at the sound and stereo and boom from this little thing and for the price it's perfect! the only nit picky thing i have an issue with (as i'm using mine as speaker for my desktop) the dual cable with the charging and stereo jack inputs is too short. I'd at least like to buy another one of those longer, but thats because of how i'm using it. i leave my plugged in all the time and it will work all day long!

Not exactly what I was looking for initially. I have since found it satisfactory.

Great product and surprisingly good after-sale follow-up customer service

I was really excited to get this plant, and it arrived yesterday. I'm partially happy with it, but a bit concerned about how it arrived.

It was all wrapped up in paper and tape, and appeared to be in good condition until I started unwrapping it. As I took the paper off dirt flew everywhere.  The plant was sitting so high in the pot that half of its roots were sticking out. There were also four or five stems that were either a detached or falling off and yellowed.

 It took a lot of work, and a lot of cleanup since there was dirt all over my dining room floor. I ended up having to remove the plant from the pot, remove most of the dirt that was left in the pot,  and replant it.

I really hope it's going to be OK. The remaining leaves look healthy, and overall the plant is the size that was described  unlike several other reviews that were concerning to me. I'm happy  with the size, just wish it had been planted better.

Time will tell, and I will update this after a while.  The photo I am posting shows it beside another plant that I purchased at the same time.

I am changing my review to 5 stars from 2.

They work fine - I got 3-prong to 3-prong cables as pictured.

I was missing a cable though (4 cables received for a 5 pack) so I originally reviewed as two stars.  However, the seller promptly refunded me just a bit over 20% so now I'm happy with my purchase.  Thank you for your service Amazon and Seller.

Updated Review as of 06/11/2015
This is a great bluetooth, but after using it for a while, it isn't quite as advertised.
I have had 2 problems with the bluetooth.
1. I used to be able to hear music, books, navigation fine, but now I can't. I returned the first unit and got a replacement. The replacement is not better. It took 10 days to replace the first one and I just can't go that long to try again.
2. The advertised range from the phone is absolutely wrong. I have an iPhone 5s and I can barely get in the next room. Maybe 15 - 20 feet away. This was the case with both units I've had. This was something I was really looking forward to, so I'm quite disappointed.

The clarity of conversation has caused me to keep this bluetooth headset, but I am disappointed.

Original Review to follow:

This is the best bluetooth I've tried yet, and I've tried quite a few. My husband is always complaining that he can't hear me--until now!
I was surprised how easy this was to pair and get started. I just charged it and turned it on. I didn't even have to enter a pairing mode or anything.
I have had no one complain that they can't hear me and I can hear them just fine too. I love that it gives me my gps and music too.
A call comes in and the music stops and I can just say answer to answer or ignore if I don't want the call.
I like the on/off switch and use it often to save the battery.
I like that it tells me how much time I have to talk when I turn it on.
It is comfortable, but I found the ear gels a little off in size for me. One was too big and the smaller one to small, so I bought the Jawbone ergonomic inserts and they work great.
Comes with the earloop which I've decided to use. Stays on great like this.
I always use it with the boom extended. I have found that it doesn't pick up my voice if it's not extended.
I can walk away from my phone pretty far, but I'm not sure about the claimed 300 feet. Maybe in an open room. I tried to run outside to my car, but I couldn't go far with the building wall in the way.

They got everything I wanted:
* full size closed over-the-ear
* Bluetooth (both music and call)
* Bluetooth multi-point
* over 10 hours on the batteries (see below for more details)
* control buttons (like volume up/down, play/pause/stop, next/previous and other)
* battery status notifications (you find here diode color and audio)
* no power needed to play (cable)
* ANC
* well-looking

Additionally positive:
* lots of information on producer's website (technical specification, description, manual, etc.)
* lots of possibilities and ease of use
* NFC pairing/connecting/disconnecting, however they don't shut down immediately
* good battery working time (almost 16 hours to the audio notification "battery low" on 30% volume and ANC set to "indoors")
* very good sound quality (both Bluetooth and cable, if source powerful enough - I use SGS4)
* good passive isolation
* work as charged
* easy to use ANC (no audio source needed; 3 levels)
* cables in the box

Neutral notes:
* wind noise quite disturbing on low volume. Turned on ANC adds additional noise. I live in quite windy area.
* ANC performance not the perfect, but gives very noticeable difference and is acceptable
* little bit tight. However I got used to it very fast. They can be worn for hours without discomfort.

Negative:
* market availability ;) (I had to by them online. Otherwise would have to travel at least 150km, which is a lot in Europe ;) )

I am little bit afraid of ANC switch that is moved physically to 0 or 1, which means that it would be possible to forget about it and entirely discharge the battery. I hope that hardware will deal with such situation and do not allow the battery to get damaged.

I would definitely suggest those for travelers, as I am.

Update 2015-04-14:
I left it twice already for couple of hours (or a day) with ANC turned on, what caused battery drain. However, they still charge and work fine.
Plastic on frame cracked (I have a big head). This causes the whole frame to bound little asymmetrically, but still is fine.

Update 2016-07-04:
Bridge broke in to. Now its very uncomfortable to wear them.

This is an updated review. While I still like the sound quality, I'm having trouble with other aspects of functionality and am more cautious about my recommendation.

First, the sound quality: I like it. This is my second pair of Alptronix EX-100 headphones, though my first pair with three buttons. They sound way better than the headphones that came with my phone and a lot better than the Skull Candy headphones I used to prefer. These have a sound I'd describe as balanced. There's bass and there's treble, but not too much of either. They're not audiophile, but considering the price, these are great.

The flat cables don't make a lot of noise in the wind or when you turn your head. And, of course, they don't tangle.

The silicone tips don't quite fit into my ear canal the way I'd like. Usually I use average size tips, and the small tips that came with these headphones are definitely too small for me. On the other hand, the medium tips don't go as far into my ear canal as I'd prefer and don't provide as much sound isolation as I'd like. I swapped in a pair of leftover tips from another brand of headphones to get a slightly better fit.

The three buttons can be made to work properly on my Nexus 5x phone using PowerAmp. Note: To make it work, I had to set the wired headphones as "High Priority" in the PowerAmp headset settings. And, I once had to unplug and re-insert the headset in order to make my phone notice it even on "High Priority." But the problems don't end there:

Yesterday I tried to use these earbuds in a phone call, not realizing that my phone hadn't recognized them. I couldn't hear a thing. Finally, I removed the earbuds and had my conversation the old way. Later I played around, connecting and disconnecting my earbuds. While they don't always work in my Nexus 5x, but once they're working they'll continue to work properly as long as they're plugged in.

They have three possible states:
1) Phone doesn't detect them at all.
2) Phone plays music through headphones, but doesn't respond to buttons.
3) Headphones work normally.

You cannot recover from State #2, but if you unplug and re-plug you may be able to achieve State #1 while PowerAmp is playing. From State #1, try the volume-up button. If it works, adjust the volume up and down before you fiddle with the pause button. Now you are in State #3. (If you can't get the volume-up button to work from State #1, unplug and re-plug them and try again.)

I can't recommend these headphones any longer, though I am satisfied with the one-button model, which works consistently though it doesn't have volume controls.

This is an update to my earlier review.  Until I find out whether the issue happens again, I will upgrade from one star to 3.  While I still think it is not the best Kindle of the bunch, I did like it enough to hang onto it, especially for watching movies (that IMO was its best feature...  better than the ipad or 8.9 (too big - for me) but enough bigger to make it better than smaller fires).  On a whim, before returning it, I tried once more to see if it would boot up and it did.  So I will hang onto it for a while and see if it happens again.

I have had every Kindle since the first one.  As we speak we have several working in the family and I myself switch between a Fire 6", HDX 7 and Voyage depending on my mood.  So I am an Amazon Kindle fan.  I thought this looked like a nice device and loved the colors.  I received it on Sept 30th and (as always) set up was easy.  The device is thin and the color (I ordered Tangerine) is great.

The Good:
The sound was phenomenal and the quality of videos was good.  I didn't like it for reading books (I hoped I would) but it was a bit too tall for comfortable book reading.  That said, it was good for reading magazines.  I liked the removable SD card...  especially as I could watch my Hero4 movies on the device.  Nice.

The Bad:
A couple of things I didn't like. Its a bit "narrow" and I found in landscape once the keyboard was up, there was almost no screen in view.  I also (like some other reviewers) found it VERY slow.

The REALLY Bad:
After only 5 days, it simply died.  I just finished watching a video and started to download another one.  It just died and is now dead as a doornail, after only 5 days of use.  ***New update.  I suspect that even though it had enough battery at the start of the download, the download ran it out... and FAST.  As I am not a total idiot, I did try and plug it in when it died but nothing happened.  I suspect that was because it had run so low it needed a minute to even start recharging.  The battery life is not good, even for normal use, so (assuming my guess is correct) its probably advisable to plug it in when downloading large amounts (like HD movies).

The Good (Again):
I am returning it to Amazon - no fuss, no muss - for a full refund.  Thank you Amazon!

I didn't like it well enough to replace it....  I will wait and see what the next new Kindle looks like. I would pass this one, if I were you.  If you are looking for a reasonable priced tablet, get the HDX 8.9 which is altogether a better device in all but looks.

Even though I was disappointed at the beginning because of shipping now I'm pretty happy with the product and the quality.

Not completely happy at first, but have come back to adjust this review. This item worked great at first, was gently used,then after about 4mo...just broke.  Im a stay at home adult and use this to walk around the home, it was never been dropped.
Update:  7/20/18  I have no idea why it just stopped working, however its working now !!  To be fair to this seller and honestly, for the price of this item its a good buy. Especially compared to the dual earbuds at 30$ a pair Ive tried and returned immediately.... this seems to run just as good if not better.
If you want stereo, this has only one ear bud, however i find that a convenience.

Revised to 1.5 stars from 4.5 stars, after using it for a few days.

At the beginning, it was good with the close (paperwhite goes to sleep) and open (paperwhite wakes up).
Starting yesterday (maybe it started earlier, but I only discovered it yesterday), after a close, the paperwhite
still does not sleep.  How do I know?  In the living room with complete darkness, the paperwhite still shows
some light through the leak from the edge of the case, when the case was close.  Then, I repeatedly tested it
a few times.  Similar result.  Afterward, restarting the Kindle helped at first, but then it still has random failure to
put the paperwhite to sleep again.

Of course, there is a remedy.  Just press the sleep button on the paperwhite manually going forward to make sure.

Can the problem be with kindle paperwhite?  I don't have the technical knowledge to tell.

=========================================================================================
Original review:

 I just received this case and I am very impressed.  It fits perfectly.  Before, I worried that the version of my paperwhite would not fit.
I assume I have the 2nd version of paperwhite as I bought it in 2014.  I was not sure.  Regardless, the case fits perfectly.

And I just found out the seller increased the price of this case after I bought it.  I am glad to pay that price earlier.

BTW, if people know how to get a sample of an item at a discount or for free, please let me know.  I always wonder how they
got it.  I have to pay for an item every single time.  And I did not see an option to get a sample.  How and where to get sample?
 Thank you!

Update May 2017:
I wrote that the clutch was failing, slipping, and generally unusable. After taking out the "failing" clutch, it turns out there was easily 80-85% of the material left on the clutch disk. The issue was my slave cylinder's default position held the clutch in a partially disengaged position, so the pressure plate would never fully clamp down on the clutch. I basically rode the clutch for 7,000 miles, and it did well enough for that entire time. After putting a new clutch in and fixing the REAL problem, the clutch feels great! The engagement point is nowhere near as high on the pedal, and the car feels much less sluggish overall. For the price, I'm very satisfied.

Pros:
Fits my 02 Audi A4 Quattro 1.8T
Easy to install - if you pull the engine. I've pulled out the transmission once and I'm never doing that again.
Feels good, sounds good, works well.
Has worked fairly well for the few months I've had it
Cons:
Takes a weekend to install
Not as smooth (in theory) as the original DMF
