2 Pack Wired Apple Earbuds/iPhone Headphones Wired/Earphones with Lightning Connector [Apple MFi Certified] with Microphone and Volume Control Compatible with iPhone 14/13/12/11/X/8/7-Support All iOS

Set up instructions were quite clear and I have no complaints except that the print in the booklet was TINY. Yes, you do need the separate app. No, it doesn't seem to harvest crazy amounts of information from you. It doesn't gather any worse information than any other app you choose to download on your phone and is probably less invasive to your privacy than Facebook.I wanted to give this 5 stars but I can't. Here's my only complain so far (I'm 3-4 months in; I have two of them now). Every once in a while, when you tell Alexa to turn off a single outlet it crashes the whole strip. SO annoying. I don't know if this is a glitch with the strip itself that would be resolved by only using the app; that is not why I bought it. I specifically wanted it to work with my Echo Dots. So, it's irritating to turn off a lamp and lose the whole strip. You can tell Alexa to turn the whole strip back on... and it does... and then you can turn just that one outlet off. But it defeats the purpose of it saving you time etc. if you're in a hurry and have to stop only to command Alexa to turn everything back on again just so you can turn off ONE outlet. I have never had the reverse problem, though (as in, I've never gone to turn something on and had the whole strip turn on).Otherwise, I'm happy. The price was very good, the quality seems better than competitors' (based only on reviews; I never tried them). I would buy this brand again IF there was no substantially better alternative that didn't cost 2-3 times as much. However, it would be awesome if the company would fix that glitch. It happens often enough that it's a true annoyance. It would estimate it happens every 20-25 shutoffs. I have only noticed it with one outlet but it's the one I turn on and off most often. Also, it has happened with BOTH strips, but one seems worse than the other for whatever reason. I'm not sure if there's a pattern with which outlet it is (as in, placement in the strip). FWIW, I'm on iOS.

This is a great deal, because you can control six different devices with this one device all independently. There are four regular power outlets that you can name whatever and have Alexa, Google Home or Siri control individually (depending on which system you already have) or you can have the whole strip turn on or off all outlets at once. When you install this, you're installing six different independent devices at once;Smart Strip (all outlets on or all outlets off)The USB plugs (on or off)Plug 1 (on or off individually)Plug 2 (on or off individually)Plug 3 (on or off individually)Plug 4 (on or off individually)And to clarify YES, you can turn the USB power outlets on or off.How much would it cost to buy this many individual power plugs and USB chargers? Exactly. Great for a Christmas Tree, a kitchen counter, a bedroom (I use mine for my wife's bed stand lamp, my bed stand lamp, my fan and a set of string lights in the bedroom) or a lab (I use another one in my lab to control my soldering iron, oscilloscope, computer and bench power supply)Buy this!!

I love being able to ask Alexa to turn on and off lights. The two lights on this powerstrip were originally plugged into a plug in the floor under the sofa...talk about inconvenient. Now, if the robotic vacuum gets a bit too close I don't have to move the sofa to make sure the lamp is still secure in the plug. I love this thing and can add seasonal decorations to it easily...and control them with my voice. I highly recommend this item and can think of two more rooms where this would be a big help and convenience. It just doesn't get any better.

I like the item and was going to reorder but the price has trippled .. not that good of a product so shopping elsewhere

Really poor ear fit and the sound quality is very subpar. Would not recommend

This seems to be a good solid well made cable. I am pleased with this purchase. I intend to purchase again from this dealer.

This has made my life so much better. I have my cell, a fan and my watch plugged into the USB slots and my light and laptop into the plugs. I don't have to climb over the couch to reach an outlet anymore

I love that it's smaller, I don't travel much, but I just needed a little more outlets so this was perfect. I also save even more space since it has usb slots. The on/off button is also very handy, since i turn it off whenever I'm not using any of the plugs or usbs.

An absolute great extension lead for money. I prefer the black colour extension lead and I upgraded from a 4 gang to a 6 gang and it's an absolute life saver.Would highly recommend

Very pleased.

Nice

Works fine arrived quickly not much more to say

Just what was needed behind the computer desk, standard quality not problems with it, bought black as does not show up as much as white with the decor,
