Getting Through The Day With Bluetooth Speakers! #Insignia @BestBuy

The reviewer has been compensated in the form of a Best Buy Gift Card and/or received the product/service at a reduced price or for free.

Great music has always been a part of my life, but sometimes it was hard to be able to listen to what I wanted from my library on my phone when I was at home. In the car it was perfect because we have the Bluetooth compatible radio. Now Insignia has outdone themselves with the Bluetooth Speaker that we have now hung in our shower. It is waterproof so that makes it perfect for listening to great music instead of singing to yourself in your own little world.

It is also great for in the car as well if you want to have more sound than your stereo will produce or if you don’t happen to have a Bluetooth stereo in there.

The silicone strap and ultra lightweight, compact design can clip virtually anywhere including a backpack, tote, bike, purse, golf bag or belt loop. This little speaker is also powerful enough for the beach, laying by the pool or at an outdoor party and its splash-proof design means you don’t have to worry about water, rain or spilled drinks ruining your fun.

Product Features:

•             Compatible with most Bluetooth-enabled devices for wireless audio streaming.

•             Splash-proof design

•             1.5W total system power (2W peak power), produces quality sonic output

•             USB charging port keeps electronic devices powered, so you can continue enjoying your favorite songs.

•             Rechargeable lithium battery provides up to 6 hours of playback time on a full charge.

The Insignia Plug In Bluetooth Speaker can wirelessly stream your favorite audio in any room of your home with this Insignia plug-in Bluetooth speaker. The speaker features a built-in power adapter and rechargeable battery, allowing over 2 hours of playback.

Designed as a wireless audio solution for your home, it plugs directly into your wall outlets – no wires, shelf space or expensive receiver needed. Although we do have a sound system, this is nice when you don’t want to turn the television on to listen to your music.

Unlike some other higher priced plug-in Bluetooth speakers, this Insignia speaker does not need to be plugged in at all times to work.  It’s sleek, white design blends in to your home and its portability makes it perfect for taking it with you while you’re on the go.

Product Features:

•             Compatible with most Bluetooth-enabled devices for wireless audio streaming.

•             Auxiliary audio input jack connects your non-Bluetooth devices for more listening options.

•             Built-in power adapter allows the speaker to stay plugged into a wall outlet to maintain a full charge.

•             USB charging port keeps electronic devices powered, so you can continue enjoying your favorite songs.

•             Built-in rechargeable battery enables over 2 hours of playback when taking your speaker on the go.

I absolutely love our new additions to the Bluetooth family and hope that you check them out at your local Best Buy!

Another Father’s Day Idea from @BestBuy and @3DRobotics #SoloatBestBuy #ad

The reviewer has been compensated in the form of a Best Buy Gift Card and/or received the product/service at a reduced price or for free, all opinions and thoughts are my own and honest. 

If you love gadgets as much as my family and I do, then you will absolutely love this one that I have to share with you from Best Buy. Even with Father’s Day drawing to a close, the tech savvy voice inside your head will thank you for adding this to your collection. It’s hard to take a break from technology in our everyday lives these days and it is always forever changing. I have to admit that some of the changes are scary and I feel like I can’t keep up, but I am excited to share this newest gadget: the 3D Robotics Solo Drone available at Best Buy.

Solo, the Smart Drone has arrived at over 400 Best Buy stores in early June You still have your chance to get your hands on one. The 3D Robotics Solo Drone is the first-ever drone powered by two integrated Linux computers, making capturing the perfect shot easy for anyone.

Solo is a smart drone that’s designed for easy flying, and built to capture stunning video and photography with your GoPro camera. With features like push-button flight, Solo makes it simple for anyone to get off the ground quickly. And with computer-assisted Smart Shots and the GoPro frame, you’ll be able to capture professional-style aerial photos and video in Full HD quality.

The possibilities are so endless for what you can do with this 3D Robotics Solo Drone and your GoPro! Imagine the types of shots that you could get from the air that you would not be able to get otherwise.

In Smart Shot modes,  Solo™ can fly itself so you can shift your focus from flying the drove to the camera.

Cablecam:  Lock solo onto a virtual cable between any two points in space. Then, using just one stick on the controller, you can move Solo up and down the cable. This lets you freely pan and tilt the camera while the drone stays in steady flight. Solo can even memorize your first and last frames and pan the camera between them.

Orbit: Solo can automatically circle the subject of your choosing, keeping the camera pointed inward to capture an iconic wraparound short. Adjust the circle’s radius to get the exact frame you want, even mid-flight.

Selfie: With just one touch, Solo will fly up and away, keeping the camera centered on you so the scenery around you expands in a dramatic aerial pullout shot.

Follow Me: Go completely hands free. Solo can follow where you go, automatically keeping the camera on you to capture your every move.

Solo is able to define its own flight, freeing users to focus on getting the shot. This intelligent drone is also the first to support full control of GoPro® cameras and deliver live HD video either wirelessly to your mobile device or through the controller’s HDMI port for live broadcasts.

The Solo retails for $999.

Check out this great offer:

o Get a FREE Solo Smart Battery (Reg. Price: $149.99) when you purchase the 3DR Solo Drone (Sku: 5354101). Valid 6/7-7/11 at Best Buy.

Best Buy has everyone that is looking for the newest gadget covered for gifting season. Here are just a few hints towards what everyone from the gamer to the traveler in your life will want this season. And of course with Expert Service and Unbeatable Price these top gifts are on my list this Holiday and here’s why they should be on yours:

Xbox One is the place for games. My hubby loves gaming and has always had the newest and upcoming system out. He is a huge XBOX fan and so this is one gift that will definitely be on my gifting list for him this season.

What is Xbox One?

Xbox One was built by gamers, for gamers. With the best exclusive titles (Halo, Sunset Overdrive), the biggest blockbusters (Assassin’s Creed and Call of Duty) the hottest sports franchises (Madden 15, FIFA 15, NBA 2K15) and top family titles (Fantasia: Music Evolved, Just Dance 15, Skylanders) Xbox One takes gaming to a whole new level.

In addition to being a great gaming console, Xbox one connects consumers unlike any other device.  Xbox One enables access to the latest TV shows and movies through your favorite apps.  With Xbox One all of your media is at your fingertips when you want it.

Next up are the JBL speakers and there are three different types that you can choose from. We are big into music in our family and want to be able to take it with us wherever we go. If you have someone like this on your gifting list, these speakers would be perfect.

JBL Charge 2– Between the twin passive radiators for deep bass, the massive 6000 mAh battery and the hands-free conference speakerphone the key benefit is the Bluetooth Social Mode which allows up to three different users to take their turns to play their own playlists on a single speaker.

JBL Flip 2– Aside from the dual performance-tuned JBL drivers and a built-in bass port, the key benefit of the JBL Flip 2 is the SoundClear echo and noise cancellation combined with the state-of the art microphone system to pick up calls on the speaker.

JBL Reflect Earbud headphones–  Sweat proof ergonomic design.  With a 5 hour rechargeable battery and a reach of about 40 feet, the JBL Reflect BT’s key benefit is the design of the ergonomic eartips along with the built-in magnets which keep your buds on standby without loose cables.
