Perfect for a bedroom TV
on October 22, 2024
Posted by: PopularZero
Verified Purchase:Yes
This little projector is perfect for a bedroom TV. It's plenty bright for a dark room. The auto keystone doesn't really generally work even from straight on, but the manual keystone only takes about a minute at most to get things straightened out. I project directly onto a white wall, and once the lights are out it's the perfect brightness. The speakers won't blow you away, but they're not going to send you running back out to buy a soundbar or other external sound solution. The built in smart app system isn't great, but with a Chromecast with Google TV or Amazon Firestick you'll be set to go. I wouldn't use it as a main projector for a theater room or critical watching, but for a bedroom or occasional party projector it's more than enough.

Excellent fans especially for the Money. Needed some good fans when I swapped from an AIO to an air cooler to fill the spot the radiator came from. The fans are pretty quiet too. The RGB is also a nice touch.

Very good option for the price

Verified Purchase:Yes
Bought this for my parents living room and it works quite well. While this may lack certain adjustments and fine tuning you might see on higher end sound bars it doesn’t need them. Determine how much bass you want, set the subwoofer accordingly and it’s good to go. Clears up dialogue nicely and it adds the oomph you can’t quite get in built in TV speakers for action movies and bass heavy music.

Great keyboard for work and productivity.
on July 8, 2022
Posted by: PopularZero
Verified Purchase:Yes
Got this and a MX Master 3S to be my dedicated mouse and keyboard for my new work from home job, and I'm quite impressed. I like the Tactile switches on the keyboard even though I'm much more used to clicky switches like Cherry MX Blues or the clicky Switches on the G915. I charged the keyboard and mouse when I first bought these a few weeks ago, and they're still at around 70% after two and a half weeks of training, and a little bit of use in off hours as the system switching features also work nicely. You can mix and match connecting through Bluetooth, and the Logi Bolt dongles, and you can use up to 6 devices on a single logi bolt dongle. One of the neat features you can use if you opt for using a Dongle on two systems with the Logi Bolt dongles is you can drag your mouse from the monitor of one to the next and it will auto switch so if you have a workflow that uses two computers (Laptop and a desktop) you can easily move between the two systems as you work including sharing a clipboard between systems for both text and files. This used to be something that required an additional piece of software to do, but now it's just built into your mouse and keyboard software. Definite kudos for the first mechanical MX Keyboard especially when paired with an MX Master mouse. I've only tried using the Flow option between two windows systems, but I've heard it should work even if going from Windows to Mac which would make sense given that the keyboard has icons for both mac and Windows shortcut keys. Also bonus kudos to Logitech for getting over their fear of USB C connectors. I hope they do the same on their gaming keyboards soon.

Better than the “smart” thermostat it replaced.
on April 29, 2022
Posted by: PopularZero
Verified Purchase:Yes
Definitely the best smart thermostat for anyone that wants one that just works once it’s installed. The contractors that Billy my house didn’t properly hook up the neural wire and that caused issues on initial setup but once that was figured out it’s worked without issue since. Much more reliable than the Honeywell smart thermostat the contractor installed. Could have been partly the wiring, but there smart service seemed to often have issues for the Honeywell that the nest hasn’t had. Smart functions won’t work when the internet goes down, but you can still control at the unit which was not an option with the Honeywell thermostat.

Can't ceiling mount, but want ATMOS? Buy these.

Does a great job at providing the Atmos/DTS-X Experience without having to ceiling mount them. The angle of the drivers is perfect to reflect the sound off of the ceiling, and while I'm sure that they sound even better if you can ceiling mount them they are still really good if you can't.

Looks amazing. If you have a 4K TV, and a 4K Blu-ray player definitely worth buying if you enjoyed the movie. It is actually even better looking than the Blu-ray release. Still worth a buy for future-proofing your collection since it still has the Blu-Ray and a digital copy available.

A must for large TVs
on May 1, 2021
Posted by: PopularZero
Verified Purchase:Yes
Much better than trying to haul a TV into the house, and get it to the room you want it in on your own. I had a vehicle available that was large enough to pick the TV up, but honestly, that still requires getting friends to show up to help get the TV back out of the car and into the house. They brought the TV in and got it into the room I wanted it in. I was able to get the rest done myself since I have a fairly complicated AV setup I prefer to be the one that handles things after I have the equipment.

Enjoy an authentic sound with these Sony 1AM2 headphones. Their 40mm HD drivers provide clear, precise sound across all frequencies, and their separate left and right channels reduce crosstalk for balanced audio. These Sony 1AM2 headphones are lightweight, with pressure-relieving cushioned earpads for comfortable all-day wear.
 

Can I use these with my desktop computer speakers?? Thanks.

Yes as long as your desktop computer speakers have a headphone jack.

Are these headphones more comfortable than the sony wh-1000xm3? The wh-1000xm3 feel very tight on my head.

I don’t have the wh-1000xm3’s and comfort is a fairly subjective thing. However the clamping force on these is pretty linear and fairly light. I’ve worn them 4-6 hours at a time without any discomfort. The headphones themselves are fairly light as well which also tends to make them more comfortable. They don’t have active noise canceling, but they are extremely good at isolation overall you won’t hear much from the outside world that isn’t extremely loud.

Does this headphone come with a 6.35mm jack? And if not, if I use an adaptor, will the sounds quality, HZ, imedence etc be diminished? I will be using these headphones for a connection to my digital piano and quality digital pipe organ.

No they do not. Included cables are 3.5mm 4 pole to 3.5mm 4 pole angled with an inline mic and 3.5mm 4 pole to 4.4 pentacon. If you get an adapter or cable that’s made properly there will be no decrease in fidelity. There is no inline volume adjustment in any of the cables so you will have to adjust through your instruments or plan on getting a DAC to put inline if you need volume adjustments not provided by your instruments.

What is the frequency range? Impedance? Sensitivity? Can cable be swapped out for a 16 foot cable?

Frequency Range: 3-100,000 Hz
Impedance: 16 ohms
Sound Pressure Level (SPL): 98 dB (This was all in the specifications on the product page by the way)

They come with two cables both are on the shorter end. 3.5mm 4 pole to 3.5mm 4 pole angled with an in-line mic, and 3.5mm 4 pole to 4.4 pentacon. There is a small surround where the cables plug into the headphones, but the cables are standard so yes you can just make sure the cable you buy doesn’t have a large surround for the connector.

Immerse yourself in room-filling sound with these Sony Core Series SSCS5 bookshelf speakers, which feature 5" woofers and 3/4" and 1" tweeters for precise instrument and vocal reproduction and dynamic acoustic depth.
 

Will they work with a Sony CMT-SBT100 bookshelf 50 Watts

Short answer no long answer yes with a but. because the speaker wires on the CMT-SBT100 speakers that come with the unit are terminated in a proprietary connection they will not work since these use standard speaker wire. That being said if you are handy at splicing, and don't mind sacrificing the speakers that came with your bookshelf receiver you can splice standard wire into the wire coming out of the proprietary connector and it should work since these are fairly efficient speakers.

will these speakers work with a samsung 27" TV

As long as you have speaker terminal outputs or have a receiver for the TV. I would suggest running an external receiver since these are passive speakers, and most TV's that size do not have amplified speaker outputs. If you think you want to eventually build a surround sound system I would suggest getting a Onkyo or Dennon receiver, and adding speakers as you go along. If you only want Stereo audio I would suggest getting a FiiO d3(also listed as the FiiO Taishan) and a Yamaha 200w Stereo receiver. If you go the Yamaha route you will probably have to buy the FiiO from another source, but it will convert optical audio to RCA which you will need to send signal to the Stereo receiver.

Will these speakers work with a Panasonic SA-HM32 Compact Audio System?

Yes because the Panasonic SA-HM32 uses standard speaker wire terminals on the receiver/amplifier side these should work quite well since they are passive speakers designed to be hooked up with standard speaker wire to an amplifier/receiver.

My listening area is split by walls so I want to put speakers on the ither side of the wall for better sound in that area. I have a bose radio/CD player. I would also like to amplify the sound from my TV so would love to be able to combine these needs.

I'm not quite sure what you're asking, but I'll take a shot with what you've typed. I think your best bet is to get a multi-zone surround sound receiver. and have wire run through the wall as your second zone. A surround sound receiver should be able to accommodate the signal from your TV, CD-Player, and anything else you want to play through it while providing ample amplification for as many speakers as you want. You don't have to use all of the channels on the amplifier. With the vagueness of your question I'd suggest having a professional come help set everything up. I think you might be better off getting an independent home audio/home theater technician for your job unless your Best Buy in your area has a specific home theater/audio technician that they work with since it sounds a bit more involved than the average job I've seen geek squad sent out for. To make the wiring job easier I've suggested a Denon Heos reciever and Heos link box which can expand into your other listening area on the other side of the wall if you want to try this without a professional installer and are comfortable with setting everything up yourself. The Heos link box should be able to receive the signal from the main receiver and amplify the signal on the other side of the wall without having to wire between the walls.

Will a Kenwood ka 1400g receiver work on this trying to hook my turntable up to receiver then these speakers but getting horrible noise most likely the receiver it’s from the 70s the speaker wire is hard to wrap on it

Any receiver should work with these as long as it uses standard speaker cable. Check your speaker wire termination to make sure everything is in the terminal correctly. If you are wrapping wire at the speaker terminals I'd advise against it. They're made to have the wire twisted, and poked into the post hole that opens when you loosen the collar then you just tighten the collar again once the wire is in place if you're going with bare wire. Otherwise you can use banana plugs, and remove the dust covers from the ends to utilize those.
