Outstanding "Smart" Speakers!...
on September 3, 2018
Posted by: Ship
from FL
Verified Purchase:Yes
Good afternoon, I hope that this product review will have the capability to be an extremely helpful asset to all future consumers who are interested in not only this specific product, but will also take into consideration the plethora of other products that will be referred to during & also sporadically throughout the entirety of this product review.
I'm going to strive to give you the best, most honest, extremely detailed and as outstandingly thorough with regards to the products being reviewed.
I hope by creating an completely unbiased as well as a professionally thought out & conveyed product reviewing process that at the end of my review future customers will sincerely have complete confidence through knowledge & understanding of these products that will be throughly explained during this product review.

A quick background story as to assist me with why I had decided to purchase these Klipsch R-15PM speakers. I had originally been patiently waiting for an outstanding deal/sale on Home Theatre items, and it was truly sheer luck that a few months ago BestBuy had the best sale for that specific line of products. BestBuy had numerous different Klipsch items for 1/2-OFF. So, therefore I had decided to go all in on this rare sales event. This provided myself a very fortunate opportunity that allowed me to purchase exactly what I had originally been waiting for to create my own personal "9.2.4-ATMOS" Home Theatre, and not only that but I was now going to have a home theater that was all different individual products manufactured by Klipsch! Klipsch whose buisness is 98% positive universally as well as being critically acclaimed for producing outstanding quality & extremely reliable audio that ensures Klipsch's components are not just outstanding audio products, but they're also extremely hard to beat when it comes to their confidence & pride in these products which are built to preform day in and day out with extremely proficient high end quality.
Therefore, because of this high end quality & just for good measure the phenomenal customer service and warranties that accompanies these tremendous products manufactured by the Klipsch brand of products is what creates such a demand for their products, and also it's the main reason that Klipsch is one of top tier Audio businesses in not just the U.S. but also in the world.
Due to the success via by doing my own personal extensive research, as well as reading an exponential amount of outstanding positive reviews I was able to deduce that this was those quality products that I was searching for. And then this phenomenal sale occurred & honestly on a whim which was sparked by my extensive research
I pulled the trigger on purchasing in its entirety the home theater that I was waiting & wanting!...
At those sale prices at that time I just could not pass up that extraordinary situation! Therefore, I ended up getting the exact items that I had intended to purchase, which included: {(2) R-26's; (2) RP-160M's; (2) R-12SW's; (2) RP-140SA's;
(2) RP-250S's; (2) "SVS" Prime Elevation 4-1/2" 2-Way Speakers.}
Okay, I hope all of that previous information proves itself to be useful with regards to all future customers!
Now as it pertains to the Klipsch R-15PM which is the product in question that is to be reviewed. Well I will get to that item shortly, however I ended up purchasing that specific set of Klipsch speakers.
I arrived at that conclusion because of several reasons: These specific Klipsch speakers were on sale at a very reasonable price. (And still currently are as of September 3rd.), the outstanding quality of Klipsch products, the fact that these speakers require no amp or a/v unit to drive them, the numerous options of methods to play different forms of media, because you can also hook up a subwoofer to these two speakers without any amps, etc..., and lastly because they also have the capability to become a part of a home theater surround sound media.
They are well made from quality materials, and they sound outstanding simply pure quality & honestly these Klipsch R-15PM Bluetooth speakers just look sleek & feel smooth! Also, they're not just a pair of bookshelf Bluetooth speakers. (Ie if you do choose you can use them as a much more viably responsive, accompanied by crystal clear resolution and the capability to connect a 10"-15" subwoofer to create that dynamic trifecta of Highs, Mids & punchy Lows!...)
I've have several different quality Bluetooth speakers from a pair of Harmon/Kardon Onyx 4's; a pair of Sony ZR-7's; the FlagShip Sony: "GTKXB90" do everything portable sound system; Etc.... But in all honesty these Klipsch Bluetooth speakers are phenomenal!!!! (You are however supposed to break them in for around 140-150hrs. before you really crank up the volume on these on sale & newly released via BestBuy Klipsch Bluetooth speakers.)
I sincerely cannot honestly think of anything negative to divulge with regards to these specific speakers.
(They come with everything you would basically need to have the capability to be able to use them for any specific A/V compatible mode/source.)

OUTSTANDING SURROUND SOUND FOR SONY SOUNDBARS
on June 5, 2018
Posted by: Ship
from FL
Verified Purchase:Yes
Currently these outstanding compact versatile speakers are on sale for $99 a piece. Which is a phenomenal deal considering their capabilities along with their original price point of $199 a piece.
I had purchased these speakers specifically for use with my Sony HTNT5 Soundbar, and these versatile compact speakers exceeded my expectations exponentially!!!! The soundbar pairing/setup was easy, so long as your soundbar has the ARC feature. If so, then all there is to it is for you to run a solid high-end HDMI cable (AudioQuest Carbon in my case.) from the soundbars ARC output to the televisions ARC input. Thus making everything run through the soundbar. There are numerous other ways to accomplish this, but if your television doesn't have an ARC HDMI input than it's going to be a bit more complex to setup.
Anyways.... I have these Sony speakers working hard as my back left & right speakers. And they excel at this role without a doubt.
As for the Speakers themselves; they have multiple capabilities from Bluetooth to multi-room play capabilities. These Sony speakers also have great range & depth in sound output. (These speakers are not expensive high-end speakers, however they do preform as a close second to these high-end speakers.)
I would highly recommend these to anyone with Sony products and especially a Sony HDTV & accompanying soundbar. These Sony products when properly combined creates an outstanding minimalist look along with the capabilities to complete the encapsulation illusion of surround sound without breaking the bank. (Like you would on an expensive high-end stereo equipment setup.) I would recommend this product to anyone! It is well built as well as being an outstanding compact speaker. And at its current sale price you honestly cannot beat this deal!...

iPhone Essential for AudioQuest Dragonfly
on May 9, 2018
Posted by: Ship
from FL
Verified Purchase:Yes
I had recently purchased the AudioQuest Dragonfly (Red) for my high-end headphones for use with iPhone, iPad & iPods. (If you are using a MacBook, or PC then this item is not pertinent for the use of the AudioQuest Dragonfly.) So the reason your required to purchase this iPhone camera adapter is because in the instruction manual for the AudioQuest Dragonfly it states that the normal iPhone usb connection chord is useable, however it states that after extensive testing by AudioQuest that if you want the best results when using the Dragonfly with an iPhone then it's pertinent to use the iPhone lightning usb camera cable. This cable is simple & easy to use regarding the AudioQuest Dragonfly and if you so choose it also has the ability to be used with digital cameras. It's a well made piece of equipment. My only issue would be the price-point, but it's made by Apple so its high end & just comes with the territory.

OUTSTANDING!!!!

Verified Purchase:Yes
I was completely unaware of this U.S. military special operation that transpired almost immediately after the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
This movie in my opinion was an outstanding portrayal of the U.S. military paired up along with some of Afghanistan's local national militias. The events in this movie we're supposedly classified for several years which is why this movie had just recently been released. As for the film 12-Strong itself I thought it was well done, full of action and in general an all around fascinating story brought to life on the big screen. My only complaint is that there for some odd reason no 4K-HDR BluRay version. But that is all I have regarding any cons for this movie. It's in my opinion worth owning....

I Only Trust & Use Panamax Products

Verified Purchase:Yes
It doesn’t matter if you’re purchasing the top of the line Entertainment Center, or if you can only afford a basic HDTV.
The point is your paying your own money for those electronics. So why would you not want to protect those electronics with the best surge-protectors & power-conditioning equipment? Even one of Panamax’s most basic surge-protectors is not only reasonably priced but an outstanding effective precautionary product. (Especially for customers residing in Florida.)
As for the Panamax 5300-PM surge-protector/power conditioner; I only trust & use this model for my own personal peice of mind. Because they definitely excel in all aspects of power issues that can damage your electronics. I have three (3) separate Panamax 5300-PM diligently working in three separate rooms that have a plethora of high-end electronics plugged into them.
I also use the newer Panamax wall outlet replacement protectors as well. All Panamax products have a guarantee if they’re products fail and your electronics are damaged they replace everything & then some!

Incredibly Accurate & Realistic!!!!
on October 5, 2016
Posted by: Ship

Verified Purchase:Yes
To anyone that is looking for "TRUE STORY", that is over the top drama with inspiring raw human emotion than this film is for you!
This film is based on the eye witness accounts of the "Lone Survivor" himself (Marcus Luttrell). Director "Peter Berg" specifically used "Luttrell" on the set during the making of this film for actual & factual evidence of what truly took place during the military operation in Afghanistan.
This film provides extremely graphic & detailed proof of the unfortunate events that took place during the military operation "Red-Wings". But the film also provides an excellent view on the resiliency that the soldiers of America's Armed Forces have, and the jobs that they voluntary signed up to do.
I thought that this movie was outstanding!

Questionable
on December 16, 2015
Posted by: Ship
from FL
Verified Purchase:Yes
I had purchased this item before I decided to purchase a LifeProof iPhone6S Plus directly from LifeProof itself. (LifeProof only has one model that just became available for sale to the public. That model is the "Black FRE". If you don't know, LifeProof phone cases come standard with its own high quality screen protector. Therefore it isn't pertinent that you purchase the ZAGG screen protector as well.)
So I'm an Apple nerd & I've had every "S" version of the phone, and I've always combined the ZAGG invisishields with the LifeProof or OtterBox phone cases.
When you combine the two it creates a wet looking screen. (This is due to the fact that you have two similar screen protectors designed to primarily do the same things.)
It's definitely not the best looking screen option, but due to my military induced OCD I now have an extreme over protective complex!
Therefore, this has always made me seek the most protection that I could possibly purchase for my electronics.
Apologies for the lengthy review, but I'm just trying to give you all the facts about this product!
Moving on....
The actual ZAGG HD Invisi-Shield is a wonderful product!
I would suggest however having a knowledgeable person in the installation processes of these particular type of products.
(I had to take my 1st one back, due to instructional error by ZAGG. I also highly recommend watching the YouTube video for personal installation purposes!)
This product has a metallic clear yellowish hue to it, but is not as noticeable on the actual phone screen itself. (I would imagine that the coloring is due to their new "blue-light" blocking technology.)
I decided to remove this product from my iPhone6S Plus due to not wanting to have the wetness look on this phone, and also after speaking with a LifeProof representative I was instructed to remove the screen protector for warranty purposes.
The ZAGG Invisi-Shield is a well made product & in my humble opinion it would be best served for use on a phone case that does not come with its own screen protector.
You won't be dissapointed with this product!
****(Just be weary of installation issues.)

Powering Your Entertainment Center Must!
on August 7, 2015
Posted by: Ship
Verified Purchase:Yes
This specific Panamax is outstanding. (I highly recommend it!) It is perfect for powering your entire entertainment center & then some.
This particular model has a very functional lighting system that can add a little extra panash.
This power conditioner works outstanding! I live in FL, so lightning storms are frequent & this unit will power everything down if there is any fluctuation (to high/low) with the power source. (This could save you when your not even at home & there's a power surge.)
I will never use any of my electronics in my home without a Panamax power conditioner.
(Yes, it does make a difference in your televisions picture & sound! Especially if you are still running Plasmas....)
I have several Panamax units in my home and they are an essential part of my home in more ways than you can think of. They can be used for multiple applications & allows me to put my mind at ease....
All around great product! (Yes it is a little pricy, but look at it this way: "Why would you not want to protect & inhance your investments?" Especially when a piece of equipment like this Panamax not only inhances & protects your equipment, but they provide a worry free warranty as well!" You can't really ask for more....)

I have the HT-ZF9 soundbar with 2 x SRS-ZR5 rear speakers. Speech was not in sync with the TV. I adjusted as instructed which worked fine in relation to the soundbar but the speakers stayed as they were so I get the worst echo ever! Can you help please?

If your using Bluetooth to connect these speakers than you will always have that issue. Ensure your television has an ARC HDMI port. (It will be labeled on the television itself. You run a high-end HDMI cable from the output of the soundbar to the ARC hdmi input, and then you'll probably have to update your software on your soundbar. (You actually see your soundbar just like you would a Blu-ray player on any HDMI input. With Sony soundbars they have a surround sound option that you choose on the screen because it is one of the options. Then when you are setting up the surround sound it will have you do a couple tasks to hookup & properly channel your 2-rear speakers. Left & Right)
Once that is completed you should be all set!...)
Just remember because your soundbar is connected to the ARC HDMI port that your soundbar will no basically control everything & you will need to via hdmi cables from other electronics feed them into the soundbar. Ie I have a Sony HTNT5 soundbar and it has 3-hdmi input ports so I have my 4K-player, PS4 Pro, Apple 4K all inputting into those three hdmi inputs on my soundbar because it is connected to the 4K televisions ARC HDMI input.
I hope this in depth explanation is of some assistance to you.

Only @ Best BuyEnsure your home theater system is powered and running smoothly with this Rocketfish~ RF-HTS1415 surge protector, which features 4 outlets with 1800 joules of protection to guard your equipment. USB ports allow you to connect a variety of devices.
 

What does the 100,00 guarantee mean

We bought a rocket fish surge protector and are wondering what the 100,000 guarantee means?
It means that if the product malfunctions under their specified terms of "Proper" use that you will be reimbursed up to $100,000 dollars. (That does not guarantee that if something goes wrong that they are going to pay you the full $100,000 dollars, but it means that whatever your electronic items that were plugged into their surge protector they should reimburse you for the cost of all those items. And worse case scenario: If the surge protectors malfunction causes an electrical fire than obviously that's the main reason for such a large lump sum of cash.)
I hope that answers your question....
(FYI: I use Panamax power conditioners & they offer $1,000,000.00)
