Pros: -the audio quality is good -the buttons are easy to find/use -sexy robot voice telling you when it is on/off -i haven't used it enough to truly grade the battery but i haven't had a problem yet
Cons: -doesn't fit over my ears great. the ear cups are tight on the back of the head and loose on the front so it obviously fits a v shaped head. it isn't a huge deal but it is slightly annoying -i paired this with my galaxy S4 and every video i watch has ~1s delay in audio. not a problem with music but video it is really annoying. i can't identify if it is the phone or the headphones that are causing this issue but i am putting it as a con here.
Overall Review: it was on sale when i got it and for $25 this was a steal. i am quite pleased with them.
Pros: -comes with good attachments to charge most things you would want via USB -easy to use -carrying bag seems nice, i can fit everything in it even though drawstring doesn't stay closed
Cons: so here is why i am writing the review. the one that i got must have a defective battery. when i charge it the battery indicator only goes to 99%, even though i left it plugged in to the wall for over 12 hours. if that is expected since it only has 2 digits to display that would be fine but there is no mention of that's how it works in the manual so assume it's wrong. then when i charge my phone i can literally watch the power on this unit count down from 99 to ~82%, losing a percent point every 2 seconds or so. my phone is a samsung galaxy S4, my battery is supposed to be something like 2600mAh, so i would expect it to drop to 82-84% max for a full charge. for a charge from 14% battery to full charge the unit dropped to 39%. i have severe doubts that this thing could jump a car if it can't even handle my 4 year old cell phone. i plan to attempt to get a replacement. this is also an update: my replacement product has the same flaws. it seems like this is just how this product is. it's truely useless
Overall Review: if this is a true representation of the product i would never recommend this product to anyone. it's at best a waste of money and at worst a scam
does nothing
Pros: -comfortable -seems well built, durable
Cons: -does not do what i advertised. it does not reduce glare. it does not increase contrast. it only turns things yellow. that's it
Disappointed so far
Pros: -it is SUPER bright. i was rather impressed with the brightness and how easy it is to focus the light -the head strap is easy to adjust -with the light on front and the batteries on back it is well balanced on your head -seems tough
Cons: -when i got mine i noticed a rattle. there is a cheap plastic collar that sits inside the unit and it broke and is rattling around and blocking most of the light. i requested a replacement so we will see if i get a new one and how that will fair -the battery pack on the back is rather cheap. one side is a hard plastic but on the inside the only thing holding the batteries in is a somewhat thin flap of rubber that presses against your head. i was rather disappointed in A) how big the battery pack is an B) how flimsy the flap is that holds it in.
Overall Review: i don't think i would buy it again but i got it during black friday and got a heck of a deal. if anything it showed me how bright these things can be so maybe i will keep my eye out for another brand with a little higher build quality if my replacement doesn't pan out
doesn't read blu ray discs
Pros: reads dvds...
Cons: - it doesn't read blu ray discs, which is kind of what i bought it for. it is just a poor product. avoid if you can
Overall Review: requesting an RMA, hopefully the return process is better than the product itself
Fantastic
Pros: -Remote access from anywhere -Syncing -encryption -anything you need
Cons: playback of video doesn't scale based on connection speed like netflix
Overall Review: this thing is great and extremely powerful. i can;'t believe how fast it is to upload files. i have 2 3TB drives connected to the USB3.0 ports on the back and they are FAST. i have mobile access to this this at all times and can play my videos from ANYWHERE. i did not think i was getting something this powerful for such a low price.
poor
-i ordered a drone mid-november and i still haven't gotten it. i received an email with a tracking number on november 28th that does not (even still, i tried it today) translate into something that is valid. i ordered this thing for a present and i have serious doubts that it will get here by christmas
extremely helpful
-i had a problem with a product arriving to me broken and they worked very hard at getting me a replacement. easy to work with and very polite
