PERFECT for sending music from iPhone to McIntosh
on October 10, 2020
Posted by: JoeS3
Verified Purchase:Yes
I was super nervous buying this product for taking music off my iPhone and sending it to my McIntosh receiver via USB cable, as EVERYTHING says this is for taking photos off a camera to an iPad. I wasn't sure this would work, but there wasn't another option besides buying a streamer to send music bluetooth.
IT WORKS PERFECTLY for sending the music to the McIntosh! Sound amazing, easy setup, and would HIGHLY recommend this product for a similar setup.

Works Perfectly

Verified Purchase:Yes
I wanted to add a second external monitor to my home office, and I only had 1 HDMI input on my computer, so bought this to go into the USB-C port on the side. I was a little nervous about using the HDMI and the USB-C and whether it would work, but after hooking the monitor up, it worked perfectly!
Great product, no issues with the connection and the picture quality - would recommend for sure.

Looks like good quality

I purchased this cable to connect a second monitor to my work laptop. Turns out that the "mini display" port is different from a USB-C, so had to return it, but looked to be of nice quality and the price is tough to beat.
Would recommend.

Very, but HUGE!
on August 16, 2020
Posted by: JoeS3
Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought these to complete me Def Tech surround system for my home theater. I was going to use these for the rear surrounds, but upon receipt and taking out of the box, these things are HUGE!
I know others have mentioned it, but they really are huge speakers for using as rear surrounds. They'd be better used in a 5.1 system rather than a 7.1 system, as they visually and physically took up too much space in the room to justify keeping. I had to return due to my room not being able to support rear speakers so large.
Great build quality, great looking, just too big for my setup.

Great Movie - AMAZING GRAPHICS
on June 5, 2020
Posted by: JoeS3
Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this movie to showcase my surround sound and my new 4K TV, and this movie doesn't disappoint! I love the original Transformers movie, and this has Shia and Megan in it again, so feels very similar to the first. Great movie and would recommend. #1 and #2 are great - all others are a bit "out there" and seem like cash grabs.

Great Movie - Similar to all other F&F movies

This movie looks great and has some great audio. Similar to prior Fast and Furious movies beyond the original, it's a little far fetched, but still entertaining.

Great Product
on May 3, 2020
Posted by: JoeS3
Verified Purchase:Yes
For the money, I think this is a fantastic product that is a "no brainer" when buying a new iPhone.
Are the screen protectors that cost $50-$80 better than this one? I don't know if they are or not, but I don't know what the difference would be as this product works great and I don't feel there is a single shortfall.
Image looks clear and colorful, scratch resistant, no bubbles forming under the glass, and has lasted for over half a year now without issue.
Great product!

Apple TV 4K lets you watch movies and shows in amazing 4K HDR - and now it completes the picture with immersive sound from Dolby Atmos~. It streams your favorite sports, news, and TV channels live. Has great content from apps like Apple TV+, Disney+, Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, and ESPN~. And thanks to Siri, you can control it all with just your voice.

DIdn't work for me but appears to be great quality
on May 3, 2020
Posted by: JoeS3
Verified Purchase:Yes
I purchased a new Sony 4K TV and unfortunately the Android operating system didn't work in the TV. I worked with Best Buy for about a month trying to get the TV to work with no success.
Best Buy was gracious and gave me this Apple TV for free, trying to bypass the operating system of the TV, but after hooking up, there was noticeable "stutter/jutter" in the video when watching Netflix, so had to take back. The stutter didn't appear when steaming Netflix via the TV's OS, and it didn't occur using a Roku, so unsure why the Apple TV (which I know is 10X better than a Roku) didn't work perfectly.
I will get it again soon and try again, as it seems like a great product from a great company with a great reputation - it just didn't work for me the first go round.

The 803 D3 is a completely advanced speaker. This compact headed model boasts many of the qualities of its larger siblings, but in a room-friendly size.
Overall5 out of 5
5 out of 5When you must have the Best
By WisEd
The entire 800 d3 series are the best speakers in the market by any measure. A larger size simply provides better bass extension. The headed models are sonically equal again, larger models simply offering additional bass extension and the possibility of even higher volume levels. The 803 is the smallest headed model, at almost 150lbs each small is relative. What is amazing is that with their rather modest woofers it can still provide frequencies of less than 20hz at less than 1% harmonic distortion. In effect it pretty much blows the previous 802 model out of the water in every dimension, spectacular indeed. These speakers will do justice to any genre, from Def Punkt to Stravinsky to everything in between. Beware, these speakers are supernaturally revealing, you will plainly differentiate an extraordinary recording from an awful one.

Agree 100% with Review
October 31, 2020
I have owned the 803 D3s for about 3 weeks now, paired with a McIntosh 7200, and I agree 100% that the bass these produce is amazing. In the listening room at Magnolia, the bass felt lacking, but at home in a 10’X24’ room, the bass is stunning. Should you pair with a pair of subwoofers - yes, but if you need time to rebuild your funds after buying these speakers, you’ll be very happy with their bass output.
Wanted to comment on this, as I didn’t believe it, but these speakers can hold their own in the bass department.

Given these speakers are rated to go down to 40hz, what is the correct crossover point? Should they be set at the traditional 80hz, or would it be better to put the crossover at 70hz?
