Day one convert

Recieved it a day early which never happens with my address. The app pairs on first try every single time which is weirdly satisfying. Nico helped me pick between two models and the cheaper one won easily.

Love this thing

After a firmware push the one quirk i had just vanished completely. tbh the $149 version is all most people actually need.

Day one wobble

Return window games

definately not buying from them again, the refurb died in a week. Not worth it, got burned on this one.

Mid. Just mid, no more no less. Sofie at the repair desk swapped mine without any fuss, took like 20 minutes total.

tbh impressed

Imi grabbed one for her mum and now her whole family has one. Legit the best impulse buy of my year by a mile. The $89 refurb is honestly the best money i've spent on tech this year.

Punches above its price

I definately didn't expect it to still feel new after a month of hard use.

Wow.

The $2,100 kit is a lot of money but the build quality shows every penny. I definately didn't expect it to still feel new after a month of hard use. Fits perfect.

Alot of hype online but this one actually lives up to it which is rare. havent used my old one since i got this and that says enough.

Big regret

The app force-logs me out alot and the device needs re-pairing every single time. Mid at best. Two weeks in and the screen already has dead pixels, support just reads from a script.

Firmware killed it

They said the warranty covers it, their support said no, make it make sense. A rep at support kept promising a fix after a firmware push, still nothing weeks later.

Could be worse

I like it. I think. Jury's still out until I've had it longer. 10/10 build, 4/10 on the software side. Make of that what you will. Picked up the kit expecting magic, got competence, which is fine I suppose.
