I struggle with Body-Focused Repetitive Behavior and need to be doing something with my hands all of the time. I have only had this for a few days and I can’t go a day without it ever again. It is already helping my OCD, my need to do something with my hands, and my anxiety. I find myself playing with the quiet ones just because, but as my stress continues to rise, I use the louder ones and it's very soothing. Thank you for creating this! (Review by Rachel Carlyle)

There are obvious seams you can see, and it looks like the surface is made from 3 separate pieces, but it's only aesthetic; it's very solid. There are 6 faces:

- Breathe: a simple, worn area for rubbing your thumb. The only face that is identical

- Click: a 5-button side, looking similar to a die face. All 5 are audible buttons

- Spin: like a flattened hand-crank. It takes a while to get used to spinning it; it's a very unnatural motion at first, but after a while, this became the thing I played with most. Very low profile.

- Glide: a joystick. It's a little crooked in its resting state and has a click to it like a joystick button. This is a pro and a con because it limits the range of motion when sliding the joystick around. You can slide it, but ultimately it ends up making it as much a big button to press as a joystick to slide around.

- Roll: 3 gears that audibly click and a ball that rolls around. The gears are very satisfying, but now and again will catch and must be rolled the other way to un-catch them. The ball slides more easily perpendicular to the gears direction; I don't know if that's a design flaw or feature, but I like it as I can roll two different ways and the resistance one way compensates for one's thumb's more limited lateral motion (compared to the easier thrusting motion).

- Flip: like a low-profile light switch. It has 3 different positions: "on", "off", and one in-between. I like the 3-way switch as it provides more variability, but it also means there's not a clean SNAP each way, but rather a ka-SNAP. I was expecting this one to not have a silent way to click it, but surprisingly, if you press down it flips silently. I find myself using this one a lot as well. It's a great bargain, well-built, and even has some aspects that differ from others.  (Review by Kindle Customer)

It's pretty small but better than I anticipated. Some of the reviews were stating that it was cheap. Yes, it's cheap but good quality. I purchased several different colors, but this brand was the sturdiest. This is the also the quietest one. The switch makes a little noise, but nowhere near as loud as another brand. A few of the buttons make a little noise, the other brand all 5 buttons are loud. The gears make almost no noise, the other brand they are very loud. Great quiet fidget cube. If you're wanting a noise to make, find something cheaper, but the cheaper ones feel fragile. (Review by Becca)

I've been recording podcasts on and off for the last six or seven years and have set up a home studio for amateur music recording. I started out using a laptop with a BLUE Snowball and a headset: both worked, but I'd frequently get dropouts and glitches as audio buffers were lost. I did learn a lot about how to apply EQ and compression, but it became clear that if I wanted a quality sound, I'd need to look elsewhere. Since then I've used several other kinds of mics for singing and voiceover, including some Russian-made Oktava condensers (the MK-219 and 319) and a ribbon microphone, a Neumann broadcast mic (the BCM-705), and some miscellaneous dynamic microphones. I run them into an Apogee Ensemble with its prosumer-level preamps. All of them have aggravated me slightly. Anyway, I bought a used PR-40 to try out. This mic sounds great. I haven't tried it for singing or recording any instruments, but if you're looking for a real broadcast-ready voice sound, the Heil PR-40 with a good preamp and about 58 dB of gain ought to do it for you. I'm using it with the Izotope Alloy channel strip plugin and the combination sounds great. Keep in mind that you will need a high-quality preamp capable of putting out maybe 55-60 dB of clean gain. Without a good preamp, no mic is going to sound good. The Heil PR-40 does not need phantom power -- this is a true dynamic mic. Oh, and unlike condensers that are often side-address, you talk into the end of this one, like the broadcast-standard Electro-Voice RE-20. To use the Heil PR-40 as a proper broadcast mic and get the best use out of it, you will probably want the Heil broadcast boom and mounting piece, and the suspended shock mount, and definitely a pop filter or windscreen.

If you are looking for a microphone for voice-overs or broadcast use, THE SHURE SM7B IS WHAT YOU NEED TO BUY. The Shure SM-5 and SM-7 microphones are the best voice mics ever made. The large SM-5 is no longer made, so you can only find it used, but the SM-7 is just as good. Either one, you have the best. Don't let the price fool you. I have brought this into studios that have $3000 Neuman condenser mics and they laughed when I said I wanted to use my $300 Shure mic instead. I told them to put up both mics and do an A/B test while I spoke into each of them. The three other audio engineers in the studio had to agree, the Shure was better and it was a night and day difference, not hard at all to decide it was best. This mic has a warmth and rich sound no other mic can give you. Even industry publications like MIX MAGAZINE and RadioWorld have done reviews where they did the same tests and said the same things about this mic in comparison to the expensive condenser mics. Another thing I have noticed in the studio is that some of my other mics require gating and downward expanders on the mics to get rid of room noise, but the SM-7 doesn't need it. It is quiet all by itself. And to save many hours trying to edit out mouth noises, clicks and smacks from voice-over talent that use expensive CONDENSER microphones, just have them use the SM-7 next time, and no more wasted time editing out mouth noises anymore. Throughout the years on the Howard Stern Show, they have replaced and tried all sorts of microphones, from the Electrovoice RE-20 to Neuman mics. But if you notice, the Co-host, Robin Quivers, STILL uses the Shure SM-7 and refuses to change to any of the other mics. You can see throughout the years on the TV show that although the mics are always changing for everyone else, Robin ALWAYS has the SM-7 to this day. Since the Howard Stern Show has moved to Sirius Sattelite, the show had to buy new microphones, (couldn't take them with from CBS) and everyone seems to be using the same mics they did before. Robin has another SM-7 so she really likes this mic! It looks different now because she has the larger windscreen that now comes with the SM-7. (Review by FOX)

The RE-20 is the venerated holy grail of broadcasting. Creamy radio audio, retro 60s charm. This mic gives a lot of freedom of movement. With my old Shure Beta 57a mic, I had to be right up on it to sound great. The sweet spot was the size of a plumb. That ended up making my back and neck tense doing a long live show. With the RE-20, the sweet spot is the size of a basketball. I can move all over and sound great. Will extend my life span! (Good for us cranky, creaky old guys. I turn 49 this week.) You can also talk more naturally with an RE-20, it doesn't require conscious or subconscious "mic technique" that other mics require for you to sound really good. This mic is built like a tank. The RE-20 comes with a 3-year factory warranty. What else in the WORLD comes with a 3-year factory warranty these days?? Available in any color you like, as long as it's green. To be more specific: somewhere between Vietnam-era US military camouflage green and old-school hospital room green. I skipped the fancy accessories, like the expensive RE-20 specific shock-mount and the RE-20 specific pop filter. A standard condenser mic shock mount and boom arm work fine. And while this mic, more than most, will work fine without a windscreen, a foam windscreen stretched over the end makes it sound even better. Used correctly and with a good pre-amp, the RE-20 is a sword of truth cutting through the murky swamp of media lies. (Review by Master of Cats)

Amazon.com: Amazon Echo - Black: Kindle Store

WE LOVE OUR NEW ECHO! I have been watching the reviews online and checking with friends that have purchased the Echo to see how much they liked or disliked its features. The last person I talked to went on and on about all the things there were using it for and that persuaded me... it was time and Amazon Prime Day was the perfect opportunity to go for it.  Amazon did a fantastic job of creating this tubular info-taining command center! There are so many cool and awesome things its able to do that I'll hit the highlights that work for our household. First, we love that it follows your voice in the room (the circle lighting will show which direction it is 'listening'), the speaker is wonderfully balanced, so whether listening to music, the news or to Alexa speaking, I have nothing but high marks for its sound quality, given its size.  Next, set up (after downloading the app to our iPhones) was quick, easy, and very intuitive. The more you look over the app, the more you will realize a world of 'skills' (as Amazon refers to them - we've nicked named them "echolettes" LOL) that the unit is able to perform once they are turned on and you master the right sequence of keywords to initialize them. We've added things to shopping lists, while asking about the weather and our calendar of events and then asked Alexa to change the temp of our Nest thermostats in various parts of the house, simply by saying her name and then our commands, sometimes sitting in the living room or simply pass through - she is always there listening and ready. We've ordered some LED programmable lights and I can hardly wait for Alexa to help set the mood in the house, room to room, all from a simple voice request. Even though we are fairly tech savvy and have phone, tablets, and watches that can control devices, it's HUGE to just ask for something and a pleasant voice setting it in motion. (Review by Michael S.)

Amazon Tap is a portable Bluetooth and Wi-Fi speaker. Just tap the microphone button and ask for music, hear news, search for information, order a pizza, and more with the Alexa Voice Service.

The biggest reason I was so excited when Amazon announced the new Tap was because of its portability. With a rechargeable battery that offers up to 9 hours of playback, along with its compact size, the Tap is made to be taken places. I can now carry all of the fabulous features that I have on my Echo into other rooms of my house, the backyard, the patio, the garage, or even places away from home. I mentioned before that I listen to a lot of music, and I happily pay a small annual fee to store all of my music in Amazon’s Cloud. As a result, I can take my entire music collection anywhere I go, and it’s available to play at the touch of a button. (Yes, you have to push a button on the Tap before you can tell it your instructions, but that’s a very small price to pay for total portability.) I was hopeful that the Tap’s sound would be as good or better than the Echo’s, and I was not disappointed. With its dual stereo speakers and 360-degree Omni-directional audio—with Dolby—the Tap sounds AMAZING! Trust me: I’m pretty fussy when it comes to how my music sounds and I am blown away by what I hear coming from the Tap. I own a Bose wireless Bluetooth speaker that I’ve used for streaming music and I can honestly say that prefer the sound of the Tap. Some people may think the Tap doesn't have enough bass response, but I think the overall tone is just right. What makes the Tap even more impressive is its compact size. This thing is a cylinder that’s only 6” tall and 2-1/2” in diameter. And it’s loaded with dynamic sound and a boatload of voice-controlled features. With Tap, I can play music from my library, Amazon Prime Music, Pandora, IHeartRadio, Spotify, and other sources. I can ask it to tell me the news, the weather, or the score of my favorite sports team’s game. I can ask what the status of its battery is. I can even use it to order a pizza or control my WiFi thermostat (I have the Sensi Wi-Fi Programmable Thermostat 1F86U-42WF for Smart Home, Works with Alexa). It really is an amazing device. It even functions as a Bluetooth speaker for streaming music from any Bluetooth-enabled device. As expected, the build of the Tap is top-notch. Amazon has certainly become a quality device maker, and the Tap shows off that fact beautifully. Its design is simple and intuitive. The Talk button is easily accessible on the front of the unit and the playback controls—Play/Pause, Previous/Next, and Volume Up/Down—are right on top. In addition to the microphone, there are also five LED indicator lights on top, and they pleasingly light up as necessary to show that the Tap is responding. The Power button, a 3.5mm audio input, Micro-USB port, and WiFi/Bluetooth button reside on the back of the unit. (Note: There is no headphone jack, which is a bit surprising for a portable device.) The bottom of the Tap is non-slip rubber, and the top is smoother rubber. The sides are covered with a fabric mesh. Setup of the Tap is virtually effortless. The device went from its impressive packaging to being up and running in about 3 or 4 minutes. The Alexa iOS app really is fantastic and makes setup a breeze. (I wish more makers of WiFi-enabled devices would learn a thing or two from Amazon in this regard.) My only concern about the Tap is a relatively small one: I’m just not sure how well it will hold up over time. If I’m going to be carrying this little baby around everywhere I go, I’m hoping that it will withstand minor bumps or drops. I did order an Amazon Tap Sling Cover - Black for it, and I think that will help keep it safe. But the one big drawback of the sling cover is that the Tap won’t fit into the charging cradle while it’s in the sling. You can still charge the Tap by using the Micro-USB connection in the back, but the convenience of the charging cradle is lost. And that’s a shame because the charging cradle is a nice, simple way to charge the device. I wish Amazon could’ve thought of a way to protect the Tap while allowing you to use the charging cradle, too. (Also, maybe supplying an optional lanyard would've been nice.) One more thought: I wonder a bit about the lifespan of the battery. After all, I don't think it's replaceable. All in all, I couldn’t be much happier with the Amazon Tap. It really is the Echo’s little sister, and it gives me all the functionality of the Echo with one big bonus: total portability. Some people might be put off by having to push the Talk button in order to communicate with the Tap, but like I said before: That’s a very small price to pay in exchange for being 100 percent cord-free. At the introductory price of $129.99, the Amazon Tap is an incredible bargain. It’s one of the coolest technological devices I’ve ever owned. As great as the Echo is, in my mind the Tap is even better. Alexa, I’m in love all over again. (Review by Deanokat)

Echo Dot (new generation) is a voice-controlled device that uses Alexa to play music, control smart home products, provide information, and more.

This re-release of a critically acclaimed device is quite honestly a grand slam. Although slightly smaller than last year’s release, this device now picks up your voice even better! I'm talking leaps and bounds better. I can now say "Alexa" and she hears me even when I'm downstairs or when I'm blaring music thru my Harmon Kardon Onyx speaker. I found myself yelling at last year's Echo Dot and approaching the device wielding a kitchen knife, attempting to get her to listen.

We will be ordering a second device so we can try out its "multi-room voice recognition" technology. Amazon claims to have installed an awesome feature where only one Echo Dot responds to your command if you have multiple devices. So basically, the Dot closest to you activates with the awake word "Alexa." The main selling point of this device is you can use any of your existing Bluetooth speakers to play your Amazon playlist at a mild roar, or you can use the 3.5mm jack on the back to connect to your home theater and really give your ear drums a beating. (At your own risk of course). I have both the Amazon Tap and the Echo Dot. Unfortunately, these devices have their flaws when it comes to audio reproduction, but the Bluetooth and the 3.5mm jack connectivity on this device will allow for the pickiest of listeners to appreciate their music thru already existing devices. I will mention that the Echo Dot does have a very strong Bluetooth signal, so devices placed within a foot of this device had issues connecting. Once those Bluetooth speakers were moved a few feet away they worked perfectly. The Echo Dot does have a built-in speaker, but it sounds tinny. It definitely works for some light bedroom or kitchen use. At its low price point, I was not expecting a whole lot. However, Amazon seriously went above and beyond to offer this incredible device at half the cost of last year’s model. And as stated above, in-home it actually works better! I can also confirm that it connects easily with our in-home smart devices. It works well with our TP-Link smart plug, so if I come home to a dark house, all I have to say is, "Alexa, turn on the lights" and our downstairs lights spring into action. My only negatives were with the actual Alexa app, as it really gave me fits during setup on my Samsung S2 tablet. I spent a good 5-6 minutes and never got it to setup correctly. However, the Alexa app on my Samsung Galaxy S6 phone found and paired the echo with ease. Just a weird quirk. Also, Alexa still has her quirks. unless you phrase some questions correctly, she still responds with "sorry, I didn't get that." Alexa is still a developing search engine, so my hope is that she will continue to grow as even more users jump onto these incredible Amazon devices. Prime music is our main application and hence this device meets our expectations. Another thing to mention is that the Echo Dot will not play your iTunes or Google Play Music (as of now). Amazon Prime music is a great added benefit for those of you that are existing Prime users, so this device works well in giving you access to all of your "free" music. (Review by RaVen)

Buy Etekcity RoverBeats Bravo Professional Over Ear Stereo Headset with Microphone, Headset Splitter, Black/Gray: Computer Headsets - Amazon.com ✓ FREE DELIVERY possible on eligible purchases

I kept breaking headphones and was tired of paying a lot of money. So I decided to try these since they were so cheap. I think I paid about $8 for them so I figured if they weren't any good, I would just return them. When I opened the package I was really surprised. They were large, much larger than the cheap over the ear headphones you buy. In fact, these ear pads cover the ear completely. So I figured they would be uncomfortable having used cheap pads. I bought them back in February of 2014 and after using them for a year, I am still amazed that they were only $8. They are still comfortable. As a programmer, I listen to a lot of music with them and do conference calls over Skype and Hangouts. No complaints from anyone about quality and the music sounds great. I'm sure there are better headphones out there, but I haven't felt like the sound quality was lacking enough to worry about it. There are a couple additional features that I'm very surprised to find on such an inexpensive set of headphones. * Cushioned head strap across the top. Makes them comfortable to wear for a long time. * Long cord. They say 2.5 m but it is definitely over 6 feet. Plenty long enough for your setup. * Volume control on the cord. Nice touch for when you need to mute for a minute * Pivoting microphone mouth piece that stays out of the way when just listing to music. * Cord has a nice cloth-like feel to it, not a cheap smooth plastic Lots of value for the money, and definitely a welcome surprise compared to the many other headphones I have owned (Review by RobertsReviews)

Amazon.com: Logitech ClearChat Comfort/USB Headset H390 (Black) in Bulk Packaging Plus Bonus USB Extenders: Computers & Accessories

The one recommended by JLD (John Lee Dumas) from Entrepreneur on Fire!

I left my old headset on the boat we sold by accident and I could not do without, so as soon as I recognized it was missing, I ordered this replacement. The only negative is the USB dongle is a bit fragile so I ordered a 1' USB extender so the dongle connection was flexible and not sitting out where your leg can bump it. For the price, it is an excellent headset, and I use it for music, Netflix, and Skype. The mic sounds really good. (Review by C. Moore)

Buy Microsoft LifeChat LX-3000 Headset (JUG-00013): Computer Headsets - Amazon.com ✓ FREE DELIVERY possible on eligible purchases

I don't do a lot of Skype chatting and I don't make a lot of business presentations via webcam or anything, so I don't need super high-end headset equipment. Give me the bare bones, make it cost-effective, and I'm a happy camper. That's precisely what you get here with the LX-3000. The earphones adjust to fit firmly but very, very comfortably over your ears, even with a big, giant head like mine. The microphone moves up and back, so you can use it as a mic headset or as just regular earphones. All in all, it fit well and was very easy and enjoyable to adjust and use. The cord is nice and thick and long, ending in a USB connector. This means you no longer have to fiddle with the microphone jack that's often located in the very VERY back of some PCs! That was a HUGE plus for me. What's more, right smack in the middle of the cord itself is the volume control pad, with big buttons for increasing and decreasing the volume, as well as a microphone mute button. In case you need to swear at someone under your breath. Uh, not that I've tested that. (It works great for that.) My only gripe is that the sound you get from the mic itself is a wee bit tinny, though it's not so terrible that I'd return it or anything. Be advised, though, that you're not getting -crystal- clear sound here. For that matter, not anywhere for under $50. Still, it's not terrible, and tinny as it may be, the mic picks up everything, even quiet background noises. So it's definitely a strong mic, just not a super precise one. Other than that little issue, you're getting a pretty nice, pretty low-price, pretty high-results little unit here. Fits well, works nicely enough, and has convenient USB connectivity with that cool little button pad for volume control. (Review by Etude)

Amazon.com: Apple iPhone 7 Unlocked Phone 32 GB - US Version (Silver): Cell Phones & Accessories

If anyone is interested to know how the 7 performs compared to the 6 and 6s The camera is a little better and you notice it for sure. It is a lot better in low lights conditions. SPEED, I was using a 6s and I notice a much snappier Safari and iMessage screens. Part of it may be IOS 10 but pages pop really fast. It is way faster than the original 6. Black looks awesome!!! But is is so slick. There are no lines and it looks like a solid 1 piece product. I saw the Glossy Jet Black and it is a work of art but it shows fine scratches. So most people will use a case which hides the back anyway so maybe color is not that important. Mainly if you want a white front or black. I love the new home button, took about 5 minutes to get used to and I don't miss the old home button at all. Any case with a large camera cutout like the CM4 wallet case works with the 7. But most likely all other will not. Some of mine I can cut out around the old camera hole and use it until new cases come out. But I promise you this phone is slippery when dry!! Overall I love it! The fastest device that I have ever used. I can out type the 6s sometimes on reviews but thiamine keeps up no problem. 128g is perfect in size for most everyone. Hardcore photo and video people may want the 256g. No headphone jack, doesn't bother me at all. The adapter sounds fine with my expensive headphones. It's not really that large either. The lightning headphones sound really good to me. I tested the same song with the same headphone using a 6s and the 7 with the adapter and I cannot tell the difference. In some ways, the 7 with the adapter sounded cleaner and had a little less aliasing hiss from the analog to digital conversion process. So besides have a little while cable sticking out I think the 7 audio is fine. iPhone 4,5, 5s, SE and 6 users will feel a huge speed increase. The 6s is not far off speed wise but it is noticeable to me. (Review by Jamie Robertson)

Buy HTC 10 unlocked smartphone 32 GB, Glacier Silver (U.S. Version): Unlocked Cell Phones - Amazon.com ✓ FREE DELIVERY possible on eligible purchases

My HTC 10 arrived in a familiar HTC packaging with the same exhilarating unboxing experience. After sliding off the sleeve and opening top cover, I found myself a gorgeous looking 10 in glacier silver color along with wall adapter, USB type C to USB A cable, instruction, and warranty booklets. With the US version of HTC, you do not get a pair of earbuds found in the international version, but you get the added benefit of 1 year Uh-Oh protection from HTC. The HTC 10 is packed with blazing fast Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 820, Quad Core, 64bit, up to 2.2GHz. My model comes with 4GB of RAM and 32GB of storage. Fresh out of the box, I went straight for AnTuTu benchmark. Wow! My HTC 10 surprised me with a high score of 137432, which put it in 2nd place just little under the LeEco Max 2 with a score of 138026. The score surpassed both competitors Galaxy S7 Edge (134599) and iPhone 6s (133781). Again, to be fair, this is a score out of the box vs average score listed, so it does not directly reflect daily performance. HTC 10 traded the 20-megapixel camera from M9 for a 12 UltraPixel™ 2 with 1.55'm pixels, and it is awesome! The 12 MP UltraPixel camera made a huge improvement with more accurate color and much better low light performance. It may not be the best camera when comparing to other popular competitors, but it is by far the best HTC camera up to date. Having fingerprint reader on touch sensitive home button is a welcoming addition. However, I often find myself accidentally touch it when handling phone and especially when playing a game or holding the phone in landscape mode, which will exit out of the app I was currently in. Same goes for the other 2 touch-sensitive buttons. Good news though, the fingerprint reader is fast and responsive. My HTC 10 from Verizon powered on to a very clean Sense UI with a more familiar stock Android feel. Sense UI looks and feels clean without any duplicate apps (as seen in M9) and minimal bloatware, except for all the apps from Verizon. You can easily customize and personalize your phone with theme store, where you will find a wide range of themes, icons, wallpapers, fonts, and more from HTC and other user-submitted contents. HTC has captured an astonishing first impression from me with their new release of 10, but before I can give it an in-depth review of every little phone details, I need more hands-on time with the device. I will update this review once I have full experience with the phone. (Review by V&H)

Amazon.com: Samsung Galaxy S7 G930F 32GB Factory Unlocked GSM Smartphone International Version (Black) - NO WARRANTY: Cell Phones & Accessories

I was waiting for this new wonder by Samsung and at last, I got it in my hand. Out of Black, white, Gold and Silver, I chose the gold one. No doubt Samsung has again shown its creativity in its new launch Galaxy S7. I will start with not so impressive points of this new tech wonder- 1) Similar look to S6- It looks so similar to older version S6 in design. At least a new version should have differences from its predecessors not only in features but also by the look. Both of them are same by size, look, height, width. Only slight differences are there by look. S6 is flatter at the back whereas S7 has a curved panel. The rear camera in s6 sticks out a bit whereas in S7 the camera is flatter.

2) No Type c USB - I will miss my nexus Type c USB connector in S7 which I really enjoy in my google nexus 5X. again I will be missing my fast charging here which is most needed when you are in a hurry and want to get your phone at least half charged within a couple of minutes.

3) No 3D touch- I love 3D touch of my iPhone 6S plus which I will be missing in this S7. Now the best and most impressive sides of S7 are - 1) Better camera than S6- In spite of the significant megapixel difference in camera between S6 and S7 ( S6 has 16 MP rear camera whereas S7 has 12 mp rear camera ) I would say the camera is much better than S6. Pictures come solid in S7 and you will not have a chance to think about the megapixel difference.

2) Waterproof phone- Yeah, Samsung has created the wonderfully waterproof which is a savior to those worries if your phone accidentally gets dropped in water.

3) Better battery performance - Combo of 3000 mah battery and android marshmallow featuring long lasting battery will make the S7 horse of a long race.

4) Micro SD card support- It supports Micro SD card which is a win win over S6. I am using this phone and have no complaints still now and pretty happy with my golden S7. (Review by SMAZ)
