Great with one small flaw. it hurts !
Great idea and good for us who want the latest tech, best use I've found so far it for music, i connect my iPhone 6 to a bluetooth speaker and the Myo allows me to change track, change volume, pause and play without having to pickup my phone or even touch the speaker, great for when cooking and have food on your hands as it saves having to wash your hands, plus it feels great to be able to control your music while doing something else, Ive tried this on a Sphere Oliie and it works very well and also tires it on a Parrot Jumping Sumo and also works very well and also gives you full control of the turning unlike the app only giving a 90/180 degree turn, Not tried it on my Parrot AR drone 2.0 yet as i want to get used to it first incase i crash lol :).I do recommend this to anyone who wants the latest great tech but it also have a downside - its very uncomfortable which is why i knocked a star rating off, its very tight and after 5 mins you can feel your arm hurting, this is due to the design where the joins between the sensors are zigzag and they do dig into your skin, they provide small tabs to add on the zigzags to make the Myo smaller but i feel its too small for a average mans arm and could have been make larger to start with.Battery life is very good and has lasted me 2 days without charging with about 9 hrs use so far.Overall i like it and over time it may get a bit looser, but the tech side is a winner.

Interesting but waste of money
It was fun but not really useful product. You cannot really control anything with this. Perhaps this technology will mature in a couple of years, but this is barely a prototype in my opinion.I never used it after 20 mins trying and testing boundaries.I would buy it out of curiosity only if you have money to spend on prototypes for fun!

It's nearly brilliant..
It's nearly brilliant... ANd an amazing tech piece.... But it's not going to change anyone's life... I love to have it... Cos it's a brilliant gadget....the tech is amazing... But if you were to come to it cold... The functionality could be hard to justify

I've not spent enough time with this yet to be 100% with it, primarily because it needs a little more than just basic input. Looking forward to having a proper play

A must buy for gadget enthusiasts
The myo is not only technologically advanced, it is beautifully crafted and is incredibly easy to setup with smart phone and computer. The instructions clearly guide you through the functionality of the device. You really get a sense that the myo is other worldly.
