Impressive sound
on June 21, 2020
Posted by: Tinkerer
Verified Purchase:Yes
I am very impressed on how well the DHT S216 fills a large room (30x40) with sound. The bass is impressive for the 'sub-woofers' on the bottom; can be a bit 'boomy' with some TV content, but carries action movie sound tracks well. Overall it' has well balanced sound producing clear dialogue, good movie sound track performance as well as competent musical reproduction. The ARC lets you use the TV remote for sound and the Bluetooth works well to stream. The design will fit your set up looking very natural. Set up is very simple too. You'll be very happy with this unit and ecstatic over the TV speakers.

Very impressive performance and features. Most impressed with the noise cancelling, feature integration and ease of use. Sound quality, while good not impressive for price point.

Ended up buying three to replace my older non-supported units. I didn't need the Ultra but wanted the Ethernet port . Finding I like the extra features. Headphone remote is very nice with good sound as are the TV functions.

We have 4 and I prefer it to the other smart plugs for ease of set up and Alexa integration. Only issue, typical of all plugs, is the extra inch protruding from the wall. Can be tight behind furniture. Convenient to turn on/off from anywhere in house or with you hands full.

Very Good, not perfect

Verified Purchase:Yes
Set up was a bit contentious. It doesn't work on a guest network. We installed/un-installed app and set up 15 times with the help of Tech support over a week and a half. They were not so helpful countering what was on the website & FAQs. It will work on its own without the setup connecting it to your phone/Alexa by pressing the button on top. You can start, pause, return home or stop w/ Alexa too. Overall does a very good job for light vacuuming. It doesn't replace your regular vacuum or vacuuming. Impressed with the amount of dust and pet hair it picks up and hair not wrapping up on brushes. The suction packs a lot in the dust bin which is at capacity by the time the battery is low and returned home. Electrical cords and small rugs can be an issue; pick them up or block that area. It's wondering path does a good job of vacuuming while not appearing efficient. Covered the entire first floor in/out of every room in two cleaning cycles. Impressively returns home most of the time without issue. The APP notifications tell you whether job complete or stuck as well as return home option in the middle of cleaning.

If your home theater system could use a boost, look no further than the Insignia NS-HTSB22 2.0-Channel Soundbar. This dual-channel system amplifies your TV~s existing audio and boosts your TV or music-listening experience. The soundbar provides multiple hookup options, including HDMI, Digital Optical, 3.5 mm AUX and USB. Or use Bluetooth to wirelessly sync your soundbar to another Bluetooth-enabled device. Three audio modes give you the flexibility to experience the best audio regardless of what you~re listening to. IR remote learning functionality lets you teach your soundbar functions from another remote, such as that from your TV. It~s wall mountable and includes all the hardware necessary, plus both an optical cable and 3.5 mm cable, meaning you can set up this soundbar right out of the box. Don~t put off improving your new home theater system!
 

Why doesn't the soundbar turn off with Pioneer Xumo connected to eARC HDMI? Set up per instruction settings 3 times; doesn't go into standby when TV is turned off (white light stays on. The same sound bar turns off w/ Insignia TV connected in same manor.

Toshiba~s V35 series sets up a stunning, heart-shaking, smart world for your relaxing viewing experience, thanks to the consistent innovation of advanced technologies. True-to-life images jump off the screen with amazing HD resolution, ultimately beauty of details, and original natural color. For a more immersive audio experience, a premium audio post-processing solution brings height to the entertainment experience that elevates surround sound formatting from DTS Virtual:X.
 

Is the power to the USB ports always on? Is there a way to switch the power on/off when the TV is turned on/off? I can't find anything in the settings or set up. I want to turn a LED light strip, used for bias lighting, on/off with TV power.

Why won't my doorbell camera work with a wired connection. It's connected to the original doorbell wires, But it wouldn't work without batteries in it

The Blink doorbell uses the battery to power the device. The house wiring is only for the house chime, not power.

Ultra portable Bluetooth speaker with a surprisingly bigger 360-degree stereo sound that~s crisp, bassy, and ready to go with 14 hours of boom ~ anywhere you go. WONDERBOOM 3 is your ultimate companion whether you're at the tailgate, a pool party, at home, or even in the shower.
 

Will the wonderboom 2 pair with the first gen?

No, it only pairs with the same generation.
I tried to pair it with my first gen and it won't. The documentation is confusing with some saying yes and others no, but it doesn't pair with first gen.

How long will the charge last

I don't have a definitive answer, but never ran out of charge while grilling, baking or smoking. I start with it charged up.

Does the probe have to be inserted all the way? I already have a MEATER probe, but it is too long for smaller cuts of meat, or even too long to insert in hamburger patty.

The instructions note insertion up to the black end portion. I use an instant read for burgers and small cuts of meat.

Does using a grill lid affect bluetooth range?

It can, depending on the type of lid. I don't have quite the range on my double walled stainless gas grill as on my Weber kettle. I only noticed it when nearing the end of the Bluetooth range and it was only about 10-15 ft. difference.

Vinyl audio has authenticity that digital can~t compete with, but you can~t argue with the convenience of modern wireless speakers either. With the Insignia Bluetooth Stereo Turntable, you can enjoy old school music using the latest technology. The turntable~s manual belt-drive design plays your 33-1/3 and 45 rpm 12-inch records. Its adjustable counterweight and magnet cartridge provide reliable tracking and a rich sound that help you lose yourself in the music. Connect a Bluetooth speaker wirelessly to make your music portable, or plug in your tried-and-true wired speakers with one simple connection. After your record is done playing, the turntable will turn off automatically and the detachable cover shields your turntable when it~s not in use. Music holds a lot of memories, and it can also create new ones. Make them count with this Insignia Bluetooth turntable.
 

I have it all set up however when I play my record its very low barely audible. Does the sound only work with a speaker?

My turntable has quit turning. I tried unpluggoing it and replugging into power like the manual suggested, but it's still not turning.

Check to make sure the belt didn’t come off or break. The platter should not spin too ‘freely’ if the belt is attached. Lift the felt mat and rotate the platter so a viewing window is in the 10-11 o’clock position to see the motor spindle.
