Impressive - Heavy - Expensive -
on November 24, 2021
Posted by: Zioina
Verified Purchase:Yes
This center speaker sounded odd out of the box, after tuning and tweaking the receiver I was able to fold it into my home theater. It is heavy, expensive and needs to be tuned in. So why am I giving it 5 stars, in short I tested against my other JBL centers, the Stage, and the 530C and it stands above those fantastic speakers. That said the 530c gives it a good run but does not match the range, detail, and room filling power. The price is rough, but the sound is jaw dropping when fed high quality vocals. Sounds clean and smooth, great detail with a good sound stage.
My setup:
I have this center paired with JBL 590 fronts, 530 sides and rear, JBL 500 sealed sub and SVS 16 ultra in two port mode. Running Yamaha Rx-A3080
I'd love to try out the new towers and bookshelfs but the cost is just to much and honestly the 530c was the weak point of the 500 series speakers, it's not bad but does not keep up with the 590's in a larger room. I hope that helps as I did not find any online reviews that were simple and compared to other JBL centers with JBL speakers. Bottom line, this speaker is not for everyone, but for those willing to pay, tune, and tweak its impressive.

I want Bass! Skullcandy said Yes
on June 14, 2021
Posted by: Zioina
Verified Purchase:Yes
The crusher series is really only for Bass heads, if you like headphones flat or super accurate than these are not for you. Honestly though they do much better than expected with mids and highs, but yes these are pretty much bass heavy rattlers. I have a wall of headphones and amps and nothing else is like the crusher series of headphones. These are the only headphones I've ever owned that shock the listener, you either love the sensation or it's not really your cup of tea. I personally love them not because they really sound great, but because they are bass cannons that are just so much dam fun. It's so much bass it can easily distort and destroy most music. Kind of like being front row at a concert and feeling that rattle and rumble.
The build quality is by far improved over the standard crushers, and so is the sound quality, the evo is more balanced than the ANC or OG crushers and the app works great. Skullcandy has improved a lot in the past few years so don't the let the brand turn you away from so much fun!

Why go backwards
on May 8, 2021
Posted by: Zioina
Samsung is going backwards, their flagship is missing more and more each year. They just feel the need to follow Apple and don't care about their customers or android in general. Sure the cameras are better and the specs are newer, but in chasing Apple and price points they are getting worse.
Things that are gone now
No charger
No headphones
No headphone jack
No IR
No wallet or digital card support
No SD expansion slot
No more Note series
New old old problems
Battery life worse and charging still slow
Heat worse, phone overheats
CPU throttles badly under gaming or video loads
Screen refresh rate lies
Software just keep getting worse
Pay to play cloud system
Samsung software full of ads
Phone features behind paywalls and dlc
offer 8k video and no space to save it?
To those defending the removal of the sd card slot, you most likely never used it or had a need for it. But for those who do use it, really need it, and the cloud and network based solutions are not an option. Why? 1. They cost money 2. They are slow 3. Data is not free or unlimited 4. Does not work without data access 5. Is not secure or private 6. Your data is At the mercy of cloud providers.
I'm a power user, I store video, huge music local library, photos, and documents on my phone. I use it for work, gym, play, and creative endeavors. I don't have access to the cloud everywhere I go, and SD card storage is a must for me. I miss IR, I miss the headphone jack, I miss the charger, I miss nearfield for wallet. These are features found on other flagships and not on Samsung.
If you are a power user, and you need more features, more space and more options this is not the phone or phone brand for you anymore. If Samsung does not change course I won't be supporting them anymore, and I will not recommend them anymore.
Samsung please stop removing features, I want a Samsung phone not another Iphone clone.

Best PC controller
on March 27, 2021
Posted by: Zioina
Verified Purchase:Yes
Fantastic controller, very comfy, responsive and syncs with most pc's without issue. Love the color options and layout. Pc gamers know this by far and away the most support controller by windows, and the vast majority of games on pc are defaulted to this layout. You can't go wrong with this for Xbox or PC gaming as long as you like the shape and feel, controllers are a very personal thing to some people.

Nice knifes poorly shipped
By Zioina
The knifes are nice, just like the block set, but that is after I have corrected all the issues caused by shipping. First the box they are sent in had no packing, no air bubbles, no paper, no foam. So the wooden box the knifes are shipped in was cracked. Also the box was poorly built and painted. The knifes inside were just roaming around, damaging each other. The edges were damaged, the nice black finish was damaged, so an exchange via mail will likely result with the same damage. Solution throw out the wooden box, wrap the blades in foam and use a cheaper but more effective packing solution. So now I have to repair the blades, re-edge them, and clean them up as good as I can. I want to keep them, and I don't want to go through the hassle at my expense to return and retry again.
Knifes are not fine
April 1, 2020
As stated in my review, they are damaged, I have since re-edged them and repaired most of the damage caused by the poor packing. As stated this is a warning to those interested, it's a gamble, if the knifes arrive intact they should be very nice, like the block set, which I have purchased and left a 5 star review. Please use your eyes and read the first sentience of the review. See the block set review, these are quality knifes but the simple design issues with the packing destroys that and BB don't care and thus I don't recommend you buy these unless you like wasting time or fixing damaged goods.

Feel the beat with this MartinLogan Dynamo 800X subwoofer. The high-excursion driver deepens and focuses bass tones for a more defined sound, and the powerful amplifier drives the output with extremely high efficiency. This MartinLogan Dynamo 800X subwoofer uses Bluetooth for simple setup and integrates easily with sound systems thanks to its low-pass filtering and phase control.

not bad
By jeffsupersaiyan
great for a small room . Quality is great for volume comparison when set to auto. you turn the volume up on sub it starts to sound distorted. It is over priced is my only con for it.
Agreed
November 18, 2020
This sub sounds great until it get's pushed, it gets muddy and sounds confused when trying to keep up with my system. Great for a small space, but does not hang with real home theater subs.

Cheap parts used in 128 model buyer beware
By Zioina
This desktop is a good value if you just need an computer with basic use in mind. Apple put slower and cheaper parts into the base model. It is half the speed of the more expensive model. It cannot be upgraded and is a poor value for power users or heave multi taskers. This machine lags a lot and take forever to do simple tasks in finder. Avoid this and get the pro or the 512 if you must.
Update
January 27, 2023
Review was intended to imply you need to read 3rd party reviews and determine your needs. This machine came up very short for me, I'm still not happy with performance and problems with it.This review has some errors: There is no 128 model, meant 256 base model and a few spell check items.
I just want to warn people again, go watch or read reviews on this machine compared to the 512 and pro.

Is there anyway to dim the light on this model? I bought it for my bedroom and am very sensitive to light when trying to sleep. I noticed some of the other models seem to dim, but this appears to stay lit up bright while in use.

Light stays on, I suggest some dark tape or something to block the light or darken it.

Get lost in your favorite movies with this Epson Home Cinema 4010 projector. Advanced three-chip 3LCD technology optimizes color for bright, vivid results, while the 4K UHD resolution offers an exceptional viewing experience. The 2400-lumens light source delivers up to 5,000 hours of use before needing to be replaced. With 10 preset positions and effortless adjustments, this Epson Home Cinema 4010 projector offers easy operation.
 

Is this a good projector for watching movies out door? Any downfall like portability? Does a case come with it?

This Projector is huge, it weighs 26 pounds. Honestly a smaller DLP unit would be better for travel use. But again it depends on the screen size, light desired and how much is to much for you to carry around. I would not carry this hulk around, but it is bright and can throw a large screen so it's up to you.
