Great Product - Easy to set up and use

IOGEAR GCS1794 4-Port HDMI Multimedia KVMP Switch with Audio
IOGEAR GCS1794 4-Port HDMI Multimedia KVMP Switch with Audio

Pros: Has all the needed cables and equipment. Works well.

Cons: None that I can find.

Overall Review: I'm the only 5-egg review at the time of writing. This works well with an Intel I9 Linux box, a Lenovo ThinkPad running Windows 10, a Macbook Pro 13" with Catalina, and an Xfinity DVR box. I have a standard keyboard and cordless Logitech mouse attached and have not lost a keystroke since it has been up and running. It switches between the systems seamlessly and just works as expected. I would recommend this product to anyone.

Most Critical Review

Stopped working after 2 months.

Pros: None - now!

Cons: The SSD is past the return date for a refund so I have to deal with Intel to see about a replacement. I don't want another one with this track record!

Overall Review: I wouldn't recommend this product after my dismal experience. Two months is not very long for an SSD to burn out.

Great MOBO !

Pros: Installation was a doddle. I used the Intel Extreme Tower Heatsink Gaming Cooler for i9-9900K, to keep the i9-9900K CPU cool and added 32Gb of 4400MHz DDR4 RAM. The BIOS is fantastic and allows you to set everything. I've over-clocked the memory and it still hasn't gone above 30C. (I'm not over-clocking the CPU - I'm not a gamer) This is the best mobo I've owned in a long time and I'm really glad I made the investment.

Cons: None that I can see.

Overall Review: I would recommend this to anybody who is a DIY computer builder.

Perfect Product

PLANTRONICS Backbeat 903+ Bluetooth Headset
PLANTRONICS Backbeat 903+ Bluetooth Headset

Pros: Music plays better than any other Bluetooth I've heard to date. The earpiece sits comfortably around the ear so I can wear it for long periods of time. The microphone works well on calls and I'm told I can be heard perfectly. I use these while commuting on the subway and these are better than earbuds because I still hear other sounds around me, but the music is still extremely high quality. Also, I can take calls in my office in a normal voice and then return to the music easily.

Cons: So far, None. One suggestion would be a slightly longer cord so it could hang in front, but this is a trivial point.

Overall Review: My Android phone didn't deliver very good sound or much bass on a wired headset until I got the "PowerAmp" app and cranked up the bass and the volume. Then it suddenly started to play like studio sound. This headset played as well or better than the wired earbuds, but didn't cause the same damage to my ears. For the price, I haven't found a better deal on anything in years!
