No Connection. Lacks depth and sensitivity
591547
I'm honestly a little suprised this book is so highly rated. There is hardly any connection between the 2 main characters besides a bit of lust and a couple traumatic events that ties them together. Jacqueline comes across as immature, yet everyone just seems to fall head over heels for her. I guess she must have one hell of a hot body? The people in the book show no sensitivity towards each other, they all act like 14 year olds boys. Any sensitivity is only directed towards the main character which is really strange, because there's nothing she does to really deserve it.

To me, the saddest part of the book is that she tries so hard to fix the guilt of Lucas, yet all along she is the one that should feel some guilt and doesnt. When she see's Buck after what happened at the beginning and sees that he doesn't show the slightest bit of remorse, she should have ran and reported it right there and then. There is nothing to indicate that she was too traumatized to do it. It's truly disgusting because it ultimately leads to someone else being raped which should be glaringly obvious. She is in part very responsible for that rape by not reporting it. Yes mistakes do happen, but the main problem is everyone seems to just gloss over that fact including Jacqueline's own thoughts - even the person that got raped doesn't hold her in anyway accountable. Irresponsible without regret.

There's no real decent explanation about why lucas lied for so long. Also Jacqueline knows the truth and doesn't confront him and passively allows him to seduce her. Who the hell are these immature people? Tell me again why I should care about them? Because they are hot?

Probably I had too high expectations. I wanted to use this device for checking acoustic and semi-acoustic guitars inside to discover the problems.
First of all, the camera has a rather long solid tube on the end of the wire and the whole wire is really rigid, not flexible enough. I need to maneuver it in tight spaces and it was sometimes impossible to get a good view because I was unable to bend the wire to the required shape.
Moreover the image was too noise for me to see the details clearly and the focus range is rather shallow.
But the worst issue is that it lost the data transfer from the camera in every 5 minutes It was really annoying.
I used it with a Oneplus One Android smartphone. The phone works perfectly with any other Wi-Fi so far. It keeps connected to the Wi-Fi of the endoscope, but there's no more transmission from the device. You need to disconnect the Wi-Fi, than delete the Wi-Fi and connect it again with the password, restart the application and go again for 5 minutes.
It's just too much hassle.
I'm going to return it.

It's not the range, it's that it won't connect when you get close again. I bought this to put on the collar of our warehouse kitty. When we get truck shipments we need to locate her and secure her in the office while the doors are open. But she is very good at hide and seek. I was hoping this would make it easier.

Pros:
Setup is initially easy and it paired well with my phone. Notification sound coming from the Cube was loud enough for us to hear if we're fairly close, but didn't scare kitty. Just made her look around like "WTF?" It's light enough for her wear, even though it's kind of large for her (tiny kitty).

Cons:
Range was not that good. Walked about 35-40 feet away and it disconnected. But that would be fine if it would reconnect when you get back in range. It doesn't!! It takes forever, over 10 to 15 minutes for it to reconnect if you keep your phone very close.

So to test it, I attached it to kitty's collar. It stayed connected to my phone until she wandered away from me, out of the office. As she got further away it disconnected. When she returned to the office, came and sat next to my desk, glaring at me to be fed, I checked my phone. Still disconnected. I held it closer to her for several minutes. Nothing. Went to my bluetooth settings, refreshed it, scanned. It found the cube so I clicked on it to connect. An error message appeared: "Unable to connect to Cube."

Closed the Cube app. Restarted it. Refreshed bluetooth again. Checked app again. NOTHING. Took the collar off her and removed the cube. About 15 minutes after she returned to the office and sat next to me, the app connected again. This is not useful at all.

The functionality is there, but the web user interface is clunky... I can deal with that, and it's somewhat expected.

The real problem is throughput. It seems to struggle once 2 or 3 wifi devices are connected to it. I did speed tests and found connecting directly (bypassing this device) gave about a 10-100x speed increase. Avoid and try a higher quality, known brandthat's what I did.

Not sure if this was due to receiving a defective unit, but the Orochi didn't impress me. Problems started when I was having trouble pairing it with my laptop. Windows 10 could find the mouse, but could not follow through with the pairing until I turned off my wifi. Turns out that this is a somewhat common problem since I got the idea to do that from a few forum threads complaining about the same.

Even after pairing, the signal was unreliable, and was definitely unusable for gaming. It got noticeably worse when I turned the wifi back on. The only way to get it reliable enough for gaming is to tether it with the cable. The cable has its own issues - once plugged in, it's hard to pull back out. I had to remove the top cover to get any purchase on the connector, and almost tore my thumbnail trying to yank it out.

There's also the size. Unless you have small hands, or have a grip that's adaptable to any kind of mouse, this is going to feel a bit awkward. It's not that much smaller than a regular mouse, so there's really not much portability gained for the discomfort.

TLDR - Pass on this. Find a good, full-sized, dongled (avoid bluetooth if you have to have wireless), gaming mouse.

I returned it, the interface is slow, confusing, has barely any options, and way outdated. Go with a UniFI switch

As cool as it is that thing can control all my devices, including my 4x2 HDMI matrix (which I'm pleasantly surprised by), I still primarily want the feel of a physical remote control in my hand. While this does include a physical remote of sorts, it's very much limited in what it can do. I decided it would never be something I would get used to, and returned it. If I could have added a Harmony 650 to the Hub, I probably would have kept it to have the best of both worlds, but most of the reasonably priced Harmony remotes are incompatible with the Hub. It's a shame.

This device has a lot of promise, but using a phone, or any touchscreen for that matter, as a remote control is just plain bonkers and not a very good experience. I'm going back to my eight remotes rather than keep this.

Unfortunately I had to return this device.  The installation was automatic and it paired without issue, but unfortunately there was latency when typing and it dropped characters.  I was having to continually re-type messages because the bluetooth transmission was not reliable.  I tested both on my laptop and my phone with the same latency issues.  I returned it for a full refund.  The backlight was bright and I was okay with the build quality, but it simply did not deliver the most important function for the device - Typing.

Buyer Beware.

Requires an internet connection.
Games are quite slow.

Something doesn't add up, given the insane number of positive reviews. So far, this device has been all but useless for me. Plugging it in with an SD or MicroSD card gets me about 10 seconds of connection time before it disconnects.  That's not enough to transfer a file, let alone find or open a folder.  Guess this one might be faulty.

Stay away. Connector to the device is *very* low quality. Not even a month since I got it and it already requires to be connected under a certain angle to work

I had high hopes for this device - what ultimately killed it for me is the short range and lack of power to the unit through the headphone jack.

First off - power for the unit is provided over the headphone input jack.  This is a neat deal, since you can continue using your dock to charge and store your iDevice, but if you have an older iPhone 3G as I do, and if you ever had problems with your jack not working properly, as I did, then expect trouble.  The RedEye Mini would routinely shut off, even with headphone volume all the way up (which apparently controls power to the unit.)  You'll need to spend a fair amount of time fitting the stalk into the jack 'just so' before you'll get a stable connection to the unit.

Setup is not for the faint-hearted - the six-page quick start guide basically tells you how to plug the unit in, and where the setup menu is.  The actual user manual, downloaded from the website, is huge; if you're a geek like me, you'll rub your hands together and get going.  Adding devices is pretty trivial, programming them using codes is not - my Yamaha receiver had nearly three pages of codes to try out.  RedEye claims that the most popular codes are on the top, and maybe they are, but I didn't find my receiver in the first five or six.  There's no online database that matches models to codes that I could find, and rather than spend a lot of time brute-forcing codes, I just used the remote learning feature for my receiver, which worked fine.  Plan on doing likewise.  Simpler devices, like Apple devices, have fewer codes, and programming with the code works fine.

After setting the device up, you *can* control the device right away, but you're using a painful scrolling-through-pages method to do so.  The preferred action is to read the manual and set up an Action for each device, in which you can set up buttons.  This has a bit of a kludgey feel, but once you get the hang of it, it works fine.  Buttons are defined from different devices, and you can have buttons for multiple devices in one action, i.e. you can have your receiver volume buttons with your DVD player buttons, etc.  Buttons can be dragged into any order on the desktop, and have menu options to select things like toggling, repeating, or single press.  There is also a gesture feature, which doesn't work as well as advertised, and I often had problems with buttons set to repeat not doing anything - problematic for volume buttons and scrolling buttons for long lists.

The effort required to set it up is non-trivial, but not really a dealbreaker - what killed it for me was the lack of power from the IR unit.  My devices are all about six feet from my couch, right up front with IR ports clear, no glass in front of them, and can routinely be turned on and off with other remotes from across the room.  With the RedEye Mini, I had to lean way forward off the couch (or sit on the floor in front of the TV) to get reliable function.  From my couch, I could get single-press buttons to work about 80% of the time by holding my arm at a convoluted angle above my head.  After a few minutes of controlling my devices thusly, I decided that I didn't pay $20 to look like a jackass, and boxed the unit up and returned it.  I suspect the issues had to do with more with the power coupling between my specific iPhone and the unit, and people with other iDevices may have better luck.  If your iPhone used to randomly switch tracks with headphone plugged in, etc., though, watch out for this unit.

Overall, the device had promise, but minor wonkiness in the button programming combined with a seriously weak signal means an RMA for me.  You may have better luck than me - I'll be getting a different universal remote combo to replace this one.

It connects fine, but doesn't seem to have the most fluid of movement. I don't know if it's the Bluetooth protocol vs my expectations (with standard wireless).

It's still better than the touch pad but I'm not thrilled overall.

I purchased this on one of the recent lightning deals and after using for about 3 days, I decided to return it.  There are several issues with the device that cause me to feel like it is not worth the cost.

First, the device does not have optical inputs, just coax and analog stereo RCA.  Though I don't need optical with my television at the moment, it is likely I will acquire additional equipment in the future that may need this input, and may products in this price range include this input.

Second, it is very picky on the format of the digital audio.  I found that I constantly have to change inputs from digital to analog on the device as I change inputs to my TV.  When my TV is displaying input from AT&T U-verse, everything sounds great.  However as soon as I switch to digital broadcast TV or Xbox 360, the device emits a VERY LOUD buzzing sound because it does not know how to decode the audio.  This is unacceptable.

Third, the audio is not very good.  I had the choice of putting the device in "News" mode which sounded identical to the speakers already in my TV, negating the purpose of the sound bar, or I could put it in one of the "Music, Games, or Movie" modes, which had way too much echo or reverb and sounded very artificial and tinny.

Fourth, no subwoofer.  The audio has no depth, no bass.  The TV speakers had more depth than the sound bar did.

Add about $20/30 to your budget, pass on this one, and get a little more expensive device with some of these other features I have described.  You will be glad you did.

Please feel free to comment on this review with any questions about the device and I will be happy to edit the review to answer them.

Extreemely slow. Very poor range. Connection often drops.

I was excited to get this - I know the brand and equate Onkyo with high quality. But, in the end, my expectations were not matched by the reality.

First, I had a problem noted by a few other reviewers.  I could not get the speaker to connect to my wireless network. I tried dozens and dozens of times with the clunky menu and data input interface that is present for setting up the network. I am confident that the problem is not my router - I have close to 10 devices in my house that all recognize and connect to my Netgear router without a problem. After two days of trying to connect so I could use Airplay and listen to internet radio, I gave up.

After giving up on the network connection, I connected my iTouch to the dock, selected Pandora, and waited. And waited. And waited. Turns out the system would not recognize the Pandora audio stream. I quickly swapped out the Onkyo and plugged my Sony dock back in, connected my iTouch, and verified that Pandora was indeed working.  Once again, I was stumped.

The Onkyo did recognize and play the music in my iTouch library without a problem. Once I could get sound quality, I was left with a firm "meh" regarding the sound quality. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't what I was expecting for the asking price, nor the brand. There are superior (and cheaper) docking stations available elsewhere on Amazon.

In the pure looks department, the Onkyo is a stunner. It has a modern design, a sleek brushed metal overlay that slides away to reveal the docking station and menu, and solid construction. It is true that the pictures does not do it justice. But this beauty compared to the quality of its intended function brings a saying to mind: "Big Hat, no cattle." In other words, looks can be deceiving.

I bought a second based on how well it worked on my desktop. Unfortunately it doesn't move much on the desktop unlike my laptop. Like others, the connection drops seemingly at random with a laptop connection, which is doubly unfortunate since I am connecting thumb drives which ups the risk of corruption when disconnected like that.

I'm disappointed, but mostly in the sense that I spent so little on a critical piece of equipment that it's not even worth getting an RMA on this.
