Audiophiles: Only Fire Stick that gives you Atmos
on August 26, 2022
Posted by: Rusty
Verified Purchase:Yes
This Fire Stick is great...it is exactly the same as the one it replaced but unfortunately I did not know that you have to buy the 4K Max in order to get your sound with Dolby Atmos. I bought the 4K stick and did not know Atmos was the difference. A little smarter, a little poorer.

Great function, lots of power, cheap casing.

This blender is wonderful for making frozen drinks...the reversing feature makes the perfect frozen margarita!!! The only reason I'm holding back from the 5-star rating is because the description says that it is "Oster - Pro 500 3-Speed Blender - Brushed Nickel" and in fact it really is "Oster - Pro 500 3-Speed Blender - Cheap Plastic that looks like Brushed Nickel in the picture". We'll see how it fares over time...but you know BB doesn't let you revise your reviews over time.

I finally updated my MacBook Pro for the new sleek speedy one, but in doing so I lost my cd/dvd player. This is a perfect solution - I don't know yet if it works in all situations, but so far, it works like a charm!

At Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, there~s a story behind every perfect cup of coffee. But every story begins the same ~ with farmers. The true magic of coffee begins in the soil. That~s why we work alongside farmers like Rafael Costa, whose family has cultivated coffee for centuries, passing down knowledge as rich as the soil itself. Together, we support practices that advance soil conservation. Healthier soil can foster stronger, more resilient coffee plants, leading to better harvests. All while bringing you the bold, complex flavors of Dark Magic. As deep as the night itself, the intense taste of this extra bold blend is enlivened by notes of dried fruit and bittersweet dark chocolate. Dark Magic is Certified Orthodox Union Kosher and grown and sold in adherence to credible sourcing programs that align with our company~s Responsible Sourcing Guidelines. These single serve K-Cup pods are compatible with all Keurig single serve coffee makers. Each K-Cup pod is filled with the freshest dark roast ground coffee and brews a flavorful cup of coffee every time. Enjoy the same great-tasting coffee you know and love, and when you~re done, please empty and recycle. *Check locally, not recycled in many communities.

NIce job cleaning the air...only reason for not 5 star is it produces an annoying pulsating 'woo woo woo woo' sound even on the lowest fan speed. The smaller unit owned by my friend is completely silent at this speed.

Has locked up during use 2 times in 2 days
By witt
I expected a lot better quality from this player. It has locked up twice in the two evenings I have used it. Can't even cycle off the power without unplugging the unit. Very disappointed. Having to move a 75" TV to reset this unit is a pain. Video quality is great, along with the audio. Maybe its a defective unit. I'll give it a couple of more tries before returning the unit. We have two other SONY unit from WALMART that have worked flawlessly for over three years.

Yes, it will support atmos, you have to make sure that you have the settings right...BD Secondary Output OFF, and Downmix Surround. I had to change these settings in the AUDIO menu, and now my Denon Amp says DOLBY ATMOS when appropriate.

Great for the $$
By Rusty
I bought this for a friend with hearing issues. It is really helpful to boost audio levels and improve clarity. I gave it 4 stars, because it is impossible for a 2 piece unit to deliver the sound imaging of the 5 or 6 piece units, but the sound is very clean and excellent quality.

Josh, here's why...
December 30, 2021
Josh, I understand your comment "So... give it the number of stars for what it is, a 2.1 system, not a surround system. If it's a great 2.1 system, give it five stars. If you want a surround system, pony up the bucks!" I agree with your comment, HOWEVER, the 2.1 product description states "provides an increased level of immersion, no matter the content, room size or shape, creating floor-to-ceiling virtualized 3D sound that transforms a sci-fi film into an intergalactic adventure, or music into a live concert". It does not. Hence four stars for falling short of the promised virtualized 3D sound. It does do a great job of boosting audio levels and improve clarity with excellent quality (for the price). Folks need to know if there is a reason to consider the 5.1 when, from the printed description the 2.1 sounds just as enticing. I agree, it is not the same, and that is what I pointed out. My home system is the Denon Denon AVR-8500H 13.2-channel, 11 B&W speakers and 2 JL Audio 750w subs. The system is outstanding in every respect, and delivers more than promised...serious bucks were ponied. I rely on these ratings when I'm trying to decide between models, and my review might help someone with less experience looking for help.

From movie night to gaming all-night to music anytime, make everything you do sound even better with a sound system that delivers big with premium features like the immersive audio of DolbyAtmos and Meridian Audio Technology, plus a surround-worthy rear speaker kit.*
 

As far as the Right & Left rear speaker placement, is it Right & Left as you face them, or Right & Left as you sit on the couch and they are behind you? I have looked at all the instructions and diagrams available, and cannot find clarification.

Control access to your garage with this Chamberlain MyQ Garage smart hub. It connects to your Wi-Fi router and lets you remotely control guest access for your existing garage door opener via the MyQ app. This Chamberlain MyQ Garage smart hub pairs with devices for seamless integration with lighting and security cameras.
 

Does the MyQ smart garage hub continue to work with just blue tooth if the wifi goes offline? Or does it require wifi all the time?

It is my opinion that Wifi is required to link the phone app to the MyQ...I was never asked to pair the system to my bluetooth, so I don't think there is a bluetooth connection. There is a nice help page on the Chamberlain website to ask questions, or give them a call to verify. This hasn't happened to me, but I know that in a similar scenario I am unable to see my thermostat settings or adjust home temp on my phone through my Honeywell app if the internet is down.

How compatible is this item with my Sony 85” 4K ultra HDR 800H TV and Denon AVR 2600h? Is it overkill or unnecessary considering my other devices? I need to buy it tonight!!! Thanks

To me it depends on how many DVDs you will watch...it processes the sound and the picture (marvelously) that gets sent to your TV and the Denon.

I have a Craftsman from 2012. I can't get this to pair with it. It has a grey learn button and this color is not listed in the setup. I tried ALL the colors, but no luck. Anybody get this to successfully pair with a (Craftsman) grey learn button?

I also had trouble getting mine to pair! Give them a call, she walked me through the entire process and it did not work. We had to do it 3 times. Our problem was that the app kept deleting the actual device and there was nothing in the app to pair WITH. Make sure it is added with the serial number in the app and that it STAYS entered during the process. But again, a call to customer support will answer all your questions.
