Activity Tracker Bluetooth Fitness Band

Although the most expensive of the fitness tracker watches, it worth it for serious trackers. Highly recommend.

I have an ASUS x553m laptop that was not Bluetooth ready. This has solved my need for bluetooth capability so that I can see my misfit activity tracker information.

I bought Waves NX Head Tracker to use it with Logic Pro X in a Mac Pro Mid 2010 OS El Capitan and Bluetooth 2.1 I needed Bluetooth 4.0, so I bought this StarTech adapter. Plugged into my computer, but it was not recognized as BT 4.0. Then I downloaded Hardware_IO_Tools_for_Xcode_7.3.dmg, and installed Bluetooth Explorer in the Applications folder. Opened it, Tools menu and choose HCI Controller Selector, I clicked at the arrows and selected Broadcom Corp and clicked Activate. Done My computer recognized the StarTech adapter as Bluetooth 4, and I was able to use my excellent Waves NX Head Tracker.

You can use this every activity. I use it for outdoors. It's exactly what I needed.

From a small band perspective, these are loud and clear. I wish there was a bluetooth off switch though. The only way to mute bluetooth seems to be with the app. Once it is connected to a device using the app at least it doesn't seem to be able to connect to another device usuing the app. ie. someone hijacking your speakers. The bluetooth and speaker linking does work well. The audio is very clear, and they are pretty loud. For a sub $500 40lb cabinet made out of plastic it sounds good. Certainly good enough for small gigs. As far as the voicing options, live or monitor sounds best to me using an analog mixer with no other outboard gear. Overall I think this a great buy at this price point. You will want some kind of cover or bag though, they did away this the screen and went with control knobs which is fine, but I feel like they could be a little more vulnerable to me.

I use this Bluetooth adapter with a Zoom H8 recorder when recording band practices. It drains the battery faster but is completely worth having a full-screen view of all channel inputs on my phone, as well as the indicator that shows when you are recording. I only wish that this functionality were built into the device.

I decided to try an upgrade from an 8BG RAM to a 16GB RAM because of two issues. One, my activity monitor, at times, indicated a small degree of Memory Pressure, and two, I thought one of my main programs probably needed more RAM. Very happy so far. My Activity Monitor now seems to indicate 10 to 12GB of memory used, so I assume my additional 8GB of RAM is helping. Not sure I can actually tell the difference going from 8 to 16GB of RAM but the additional RAM appears at least to be useful according to the Activity Monitor.

Takes a load of activity simultaneously without incident.

Great notebook. I use this as my gardening tracker so it holds up well.

I use this mostly for full lenght shots with fitness models
