I bought a second unit, the first was so good.
on December 27, 2024
Posted by: averageguy
Verified Purchase:Yes
I had the ability to test one of these from a program with best buy, and I liked it so much I bought a second unit. This headset is considered the entry level, but it seems to run pretty good to me, and does everything I would expect from a Vr headset. Going it's fairly easy setup, and goong through the tutorials help understand the controls, then it's off to the races. I figured out how to share apps for the family and have my wife on one machine, and myself on the other and now we can play the same game at the same time. I miss the days of if you buy a game and load it on whatever computer you are on, you can play it. With the onlone and account system, several companies make it so difficult that you end up buying 2 copies of the game so each person can play. I'm glad that this sysemt worked as it should. The graphics are immersive and i hoghly reccomend this.

Excellent tv
on November 10, 2024
Posted by: averageguy
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is my second sony x90l unit i purchased. The first was a 65 inch for myself and this 55" for my mother in law (she has a smaller tv stand) and i must say, price, value, features. This has it all. Sure it's not the next up mini led version, but it's the top of the line full array local dimming. It may not be the brightest on the market at this price, nor the most dimming panels, but the software and processing on this is fantastic. The contrast is really good, a tiny bit of bloom on some screens, but better than a previous tv I had from another brand that on paper should have beat this. The colors are great. The android based os is much smother than 2 other brands i've worked with, but i do find myself sometimes using a streaming stick with this, but that's just sometimes my preference for i like the layout on the stick. This has all the same apps. My 65 inch also came with 5 free digital movies from sony bravia. I have look. I have not registered this tv yet, ran out of time, but i think this will also. Overall, great tv. Choice, and nearing e d of model year, look for the price to drop a d snag it.

I have bought several of these to upgrade my other roku remotes because the backlight is easy to see in the dark. The 3 remotes I upgraded were in bedrooms where generally lights are off in the evenings. This works great, easy set up, and easy to see. Worked right away with all my units (2 roku os tv's and one 4k stick.). I'm happy with my purchase.

Good addition to the amazon speakers.
on June 26, 2024
Posted by: averageguy
Verified Purchase:Yes
I have purchased 10 recently in all of the colors ( 2 green 2 purple, 4 white, 2 grey of these units for use around my house. I got most of them when they were on an incredible sale around the holidays, and 2 later after deciding the guest bathroom and basment bathrooms needed one. I already had one device for about a year and liked it a lot, and have 2 other echo product in my house (one in every room). They work really well together and the app is easy to use to create listening groups. The sound on these is very respectable with good crisp sound and music sounds good. I have several streaming services linked and all works well with my amazon account. I also have a eero mesh system and these work to blend in and expand the 5ghz side of the network. That is what tilted my decision to get more of these. I have an excellent wifi network, but this gets the 5ghz band better coverage outside of my house now also since I have more of these on the edges of my house. I can get better coverage in my garage and on the back porch and in my shed also. Compared to other speakers of this size with the same features (smart or not smart, amazon or not amazon) value and function wise, these are on par with competators. I reccomend these.

Nice covers
on June 26, 2024
Posted by: averageguy
Verified Purchase:Yes
My wife has a kindle for many years, and her last paperwhite is starting to have issues with battery life and responseivness. I purchased a new one and got this cover because the old unit had a cover similar to this, and the same brand. So far this fits well just like the last cover and works as expected. Stays clasped magnetically and the screen comes on and turns off as it should. I felt compelled to review this one because it's the first one I bought that had artwork on it rather than just a solid color or a non descript pattern (like flowers or checkers). It's colorful and a piece of art that my wife an I both like, and now it's with us all the time and can travel with us. Makes it easy to see on a counter top, an eye catcher. The feel and build is good, and again a cover brand that I'm familiar with, so it should hold up with time. The last kindle is at least 4 years old. I do reccomend thus product.

Good alarm clock radio
on May 8, 2024
Posted by: averageguy
Verified Purchase:Yes
I Purchased this to replace a 15 year old clock that gained time by a minute or two a month. It had larger green numbers like this and had a dim feature that my wife liked at night. This clock is keeping time well now for the time i've had it now, and the screen dims at night, but us still fairly bright. I do not mind, but my wife is more sensative and so i did add a small piece of tint ot the screen for her. That being said, it's no fault of the clock, so I deducted no stars. Radio works fine, the buzzer gently gets louder to wake you up. Setting it was easy and has battery back up, so if the power goes out, no issues when it restarts. 2 alarms are useful, i have a work day and non work day set up. The price and utility if this are spot on, good value and functions like it should. I reccomend this.

The best soundbar I have used.
By averagetechguy from concerned one
I received this item at no cost to test through the best buy tech insider network and to give my unbiased opinion. I currently have a 7.1 surround sound system on my main entertainment center, but I got this as a sound system for my rec room area so that I do not want to have to have a bunch of speakers around, but I also don't want to compromise sound. This delivers.
I have had experience with vizio, auvio, nakamichi, samsung, bose, and lg soundbars in the past, only one with a sub, but it was wired. This soundbar blows anything away that I've had. The size is very reasonable and could sit on the mantle in my front room if it were there. it is a bit deeper than most "soundbars", but still can mount to the wall below the tv. It came with a stencil and spacers to mark the wall and hang. The sub I can tuck under an end table to the side of the room. This has no fade in clarity even at louder volumes.
This setup was easy, pull it out of the box and go. The quick start guide was much appreciated. I connected this a few ways via hdmi arc and optical. I utilized my 4k disc player and also 4k vudu and netflix to test dolby atmos and dts x, and and wow, this system is crisp and defined, good bass that is adjustable. I utilized Apocalypse Now 4k to see how the surround effects would go with Dolby Atmos, and just hearing that chopper go across the screen in the opening scene made me want to duck to not get hit. It had excellent directional flow from left to right as the chopper flew across the screen. I did stream some music via Bluetooth as well as Heos app, and all sounded good.
The Heos app could be useful, it tries to combine your library and streaming into one spot but I just don't have problems going to each of my services or files to play stuff. I have the app on my phone but likely won't use it much. I do know now that this is on my rec room tv, I may be watching more stuff there than on my main system. I don't mind letting my family do what they want with the main system, I will not lose any quality of what I'm doing with this. I highly recommend this item if you want assured quality sound with minimal effort. You do get what you pay for here

Update
August 29, 2023
It's been a while since I reviewed this and I forgot to update this sooner. This soundbar sounds great initially, did fine for about a few months or so, then it developed a tic, low grade constant tic. With movies and actions it can get buried, but when quite or light noise...constant tic. Something isn't grounded correctly. I relegated it to my second TV, and got busy with life and I did not pursue warranty on it, but I'm sure they would possibly honor it.

Good combo single serve/drip machine
By averagetechguy
I got this to try and free up counter space from having both my drip coffee maker and single serve out on the counter all the time. Single serve on business days, but on weekends I can brew a pot to have all morning. This takes up a little less footprint than my old single serve machine (just over 10 years old). I have it on a lift that has k cups storage in it and it fits easily inder my cabinet. The set up of this is easy, follow the assembly order. They put the k cup adapter in the coffee pot, that was a bit of a trick to get out, but it did. It comes with a reusable single sever pod and the kcup adapter, and then reusable standard filter. Thus thing works good. It is a bit slower than my old single sever machine, but brew time for 12 cups is same as old standard drip machine. It brews coffee, tastes like coffee. I have no complaints. Five stars so far. My old machine is still going after 10 years, I hope this lasts as long. My old one won't be decommissioned just moved to my office. This one will be my daily use for now.

I found a flaw after posting
October 24, 2023
I have many types of coffee, and had used this for several days before cycling though my coffee rotation and I have a brand of coffee that uses compostable pods (a subscription style coffee club) , no k-cup style. No issues in my old machine and the other machines my friends and family have (I my own coffee when I travel) and this pod does not fit, no matter how I try it, just doesn't slide in far enough. I would have totally deducted a star for this had I made it through my full rotation of coffee. So far it's just this one pod, but it's my favorite coffee, other compostsble pods were a but different than I have with this,but again would have been enough to easily deduct a star for me.

Cool feeder
By averagetechguy
I saw this item and i had to get it. It's more than just a simple field camera for birds. This is a small feeder, I wish it held a bit nore food, and the style is nice, but to fill it is a bit awkward. I like the metal hanging triangle on the top, it habgs well from my crook. This unit takes pictures sorts out bird vs no bird then send you a photo (called a postcard) with the bird identified if it got a good enough view. This does have a limitation of needing to be within wifi range, so it is somewhat close to my house, but hopefully i stashed it far enough the commotion going on in the house doesn't scare away the birds. It did take me a minute on initial set up because it did not have the led lights displaying while I charged it, but the website does have a troubleshooting for this. None of that initially worked. The day I sent a message to support I got a very prompt response, but it started working before I had to do further troubleshooting with them. A bit finicky, but no issues since then. A+ customer service (it was a weekend and they responded). The picture is clear when live streaming and so far, I've had a few sparrows, but nothing else exciting yet. It's only been 5 days, and it got warm, so birds are in the fields getting the remnants of harvest. I joined bird buddy pro, which can be monthly fee or save with very low cost yearly fee. This unlocks the full HD potential, bird frenzy that allows quicker photos (but lowers battery life) and allows you to mute/ignore species from postcards. You can also be part of the community and have up to 10 people you can host. It also unlocks all access to the network of fedders around the world they have. I was following ones in Hawaii and one in Canada recently. So far. My initial battery charge has held up for 5 days and still at 98%, but it has been sunny. We'll see when we hit overcast winter. In summary, it is fairly easy to set up, once running it's doing what it needs to. The application is neat, yiu have bird tv, live feeds all over the world, the community with tons of photos of birds. And a favorites list of feeders you can fallow. I will give this 4 out of 5 stars, with partial deduction for the low capacity of seed, awkward filling, and slight hiccup in the set up. Definitely I would reccomend this item though.

One negative I've found now that I've had this in use for several months is i can't keep it stocked fast enough. It is suck a small capacity and with the sub zero weather right now, it's empty in as little as 12 hours. I wish this was quite a bit bigger. It holds if I had to guess 40 to 50oz's (bout 1.5 32oz drink cup full) of food. I wish this would hold about triple that. With 2 foot of snow on the ground where I live, I'm getting exercise filling this.

It does not connect via USB that I can see, but can connect if you have 3.5mm to 3.5mm cord and have a connection like that in your car, or blutooth. only earbuds and batteries are included
