Better than the rest of the competition for less $

This tv has the inkiest blacks, and the most vibrant colors I've seen in almost any TV set. If you're buying a TV that's not an OLED, and you didn't buy this TV you've probably made a mistake. Unless you just have to have HDMI 2.1 this TV looks better than a Sony X900h, and has lower input lag and better motion handling than a Vizio P or PX series. It games well, it's great for movies, it even looks pretty good in a lowlight room. There are only 2 reasons not to buy this TV if you're considering it. If your room has a number of far off axis viewing then you might want to consider another TV, if you truely for some reason need HDMI 2.1 even though no PS5 or Xbox Series games support 120hz at 4K right now.

Almost a perfect streaming device for 4K.

Would be better if it supported higher frame rate Dolby Vision, and HDR10+ as well. Otherwise the perfect streaming device especially if you watch older content that needs upscaling. AI upscaling makes 1080p content look very close to Native 4K.

Great for a 4K monitor and actual useable speakers
on January 1, 2021
Posted by: PopularZero
Verified Purchase:Yes
Works great, and looks great. I picked this up to use as a monitor for my laptop while I'm at my desk. It's about the same price as a budget 4K monitor, but much larger. It doesn't have any Freesync or Gsync tech but the only gaming I'd intend to do on this would be from a console where that matters much less. With 4k displays for PC for productivity at this price range you have to make a decision of do you want a smaller display that you're going to lose some desktop real estate due to scaling or are you going to get a 40+" display where you can turn off scaling, get all the space for your windows you're working with and have to turn your head a little to see the far edges of the screen. While great for working on this is also great for 4K media when you want to take a break. Even though the max brightness on this TV is in what some critics would say is the HD AREN'T zone HDR content does look pretty good on this set. The smart TV features are quite nice, but not quite as good as having a dedicated streamer if you have streaming preferences that lean outside of the most major of services or are an Anime fan since the only Anime centered streaming service supported at the time of writing this is Funimation. HBO Max is also not present on this so plan on using a computer or other streaming box if you want to watch Wonder Woman 84 or Game of Thrones. The Speakers actually surprised me the most since I'm used to TV speakers being hot garbage at best even at the high end. This will still benefit from better speakers from a sound bar or Surround sound system if you're making this your main TV for movies, but the speakers on this sound good enough that it's not an immediate necessity.

Great if you’re not stuck with Amazon devices
on October 31, 2020
Posted by: PopularZero
Verified Purchase:Yes
Wanted to love this product as a replacement for Echo show, but it is not compatible with Ring doorbells. The whole reason to get a smart speaker with a screen for me is to have a screen away from my tablet, phone, or computer that can show me my doorbell and security cameras. My elderly father needs one because he can’t use a computer, tablet, or smartphone, but he’s able to interact with a smart speaker. If you out who you’re getting this for isn’t already locked into ring products I suspect this is really good, but unfortunately Amazon has locked google assistant out of interacting with key features of devices from their company so do extra research before buying because just because the box says compatible with google assistant doesn’t always mean fully compatible.

Great way to go for wireless.
on October 31, 2020

Verified Purchase:Yes
Glad I got this keyboard. I wanted to go wireless, and ended up going with this and a G502. The low profile switches are the biggest game changer. Typing on this keyboard is truly effortless. The keys are super responsive, and while still clicky not excessively loud. The tactile bump is right at the point of actuation so there’s no doubt about when the key has been activated. If you want a quieter keyboard it also comes in tactile and linear options. I might still switch mine out for the tactile since that’s the part I’m the most picky about, but if you’re a fan of clicky keys specifically this won’t let you down there. Battery life is also excellent I’ve only had to charge it once a week. It is expensive, but I work in IT and game on PC while also competing in CTF competitions. If you want to spend a little less and don’t need/want the wireless the G815 is the same keyboard but wired.

Store your files safely on this 240GB PNY solid-state drive. It achieves write speeds of 500MB/sec. and read speeds of 535MB/sec., providing transfer rates faster than traditional hard drives. The lack of moving parts on this PNY solid-state drive reduces its chance of failure.

It’s not as blazing fast as an M2 NVME drive, but this is more than enough for most OS drives. Pair this with a multi terabyte hard drive for games and media and you’re good to go. I’ve got one in my laptop, and 3 in my desktop because I run Windows, And a couple flavors of Linux.

Great headphones
on July 10, 2020
Posted by: PopularZero
Verified Purchase:Yes
These headphones have great detail retrieval while maintaining good low end. I primarily use these with my PC with an external DAC, but also sometimes with my phone. They’re excellent with music, movies, and all media. Having previously used mainly gaming headsets with my PC these are way better. I now use a Blue Yeti Mic on a microphone stand and don’t think I’ll go back to a gaming headset. These are very well detailed And if you haven’t owned a high end pair of headphones or speakers you’ll be likely to hear things you never knew were there in your favorite music. The amount of detail retrieval can be a double edged sword if you watch a lot of YouTube Or Twitch as you will notice microphone peaking that you may not have heard before luckily I’ve only run into this with a hand full of creators/streamers. Definitely give these a recommendation especially if you find them on sale. These are also very comfortable and light I’ve worn them for 6-8 hours at a time with no hot spots or any other discomfort.

Fine if you need a lapdesk not so great as a stand
on May 29, 2020
Posted by: PopularZero
Verified Purchase:Yes
Works fine as a lapdesk, and maybe even for dorm room bed use. This however doesn't work well on a desk as a stand. The same padding that makes it work well on your lap is slippery and slides on hard surfaces. The small and smooth bottom ledge on the laptop holder also tends to let laptops slide off of this. Not such a big deal on your lap or bed possibly damaging on a desk or table.

Great speakers for both surround sound and music
on May 29, 2020
Posted by: PopularZero
Verified Purchase:Yes
Bought these a little while ago because I had already replaced my center channel with a larger speaker and I wanted to Balance out my front stereo channels. I've listened to these in movies and music, and they work great in both situations. I find myself actually listening to music more now because these work just as well in Stereo modeas they do in surround. If you're buying these for a surround sound system be sure to pick up the matching center channel as well.

Seriously oscar material. It was snubbed in 2016/2017, but it was better than any of the nominated films. This film is an emotional rollercoaster and a touching tale. After my first viewing of this movie it immediately gained a place in my top ten Anime movies of all time. The cinematography and sound editing are quite amazing as well, and they play so well off of each other. I would recommend this to anyone that likes anime with unique and emotional stories.

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.
