This was bought for my daughter and her husband. I gave them a Samsung TV a year or so ago (from Best Buy) and now it was time to upgrade from the tinny tiny speakers.
Stock audio was insufficient enough that my wife, who watch her grandchildre there) complained about it.
No more complaints! None! They are all very pleased and that is exactly what a gift should do. Make someone happy! It was soooo easy to install that they really didn't need me but I am happy to help out!
Highly recommended? Without hesitation!

I have a slight physical handicap that sometimes results in my falling and subsequently dropping my cell phone. Soooooo...I bought this case for my new Moto G Stylus!
It looks cool and other than no protective screen it does the job of protecting my new Moto G Stylus phone from damage.
Highly recommended? Indeed it is!

The new moto g stylus 5G gives you the ultra-fast speed and built-in stylus you want. How about a 48 MP quad camera system? It~s yours. Maybe you~re craving a blazing-fast processor. No problem. And 256 MB of storage? Done. All this plus two days of battery life and a gorgeous 6.8" display.

Take that, fApple!

Verified Purchase:Yes
I lost my iPhone SE when my OtterBox belt clip snapped and the iPhone went tumbling down the road. I had the insurance but alas, Apple and Best Buy said if I could not produce busted pieces then I was out of luck.
So then, what to do. I returned to Android. I had a Motorola Z3 Play that worked fine with the exception of the only feature outside of it being a phone that mattered to me. It stunk on Android Auto.
I asked about Motorola cell phones and Android Auto and no one could or perhaps would, answer me openly. So I bought this phone. I am thrilled it has a headphone jack! I am happy it also has 256 gig of built in memory and a MicroSD slot! But more than anything else, once I discovered a particular setting for Android Auto, it seems to actually work with Android Auto!
I simply went into AA settings and once I had joined my two vehicles and turned off the setting to seek out and join more new vehicles. And...It works nearly without flaws!
Not quite as good as fApple Carplay but it also does things Carplay does not. If the AC is on and a call comes in and I answer, the fan speed is turned down automatically. It plays Amazon Music Ultra HD, Pandora Premium (Family Plan!) and SiriusXM superbly!
It can still become "confused" but that has only happed twice since I discovered the magical setting in AA. The phone works just fine as a phone and the batter will last at least two days, so I've got that goin' for me...Which is nice.
I do have a bit of difficulty with the whole "swipe right/left" thing but that is likely my fault and not that of the phone. I have yet to use the included stylus but it's there if I want or need to. There is not a ton of (UGH!) bloatware and I have begun to delete stuff I find annoyingly useless/vapid. I have downloaded an Onkyo Music Player app and put a 128 gig MicroSD in the phone to put a few thousand songs on that I reeeeeeeeeeeeeeally like!
Calls are excellent. I speak with my mother and sister every day on my way home from work and the phone is a pleasure to use in that capacity. And when I am done speaking with my family I turn the music back on to ease my sluggish drive through SoCal traffic! This is an excellent phone and not just for the money. As I said, it has a headphone jack and a stylus and a MicroSD slot! How many "high"/"rear" end phones on either side of the Android/fApple fence can boast that?!
I am so very please with this purchase and if that were to change I would change my review but so far, I am as I said, very PLEASED!
And I think, not feeeeeeeeeeeeel, you will be too. The phone is superb and does all that I want a phone to do. Work as a phone and as a music playback device in my car or truck. Highly recommended?
Yuppers!

Blootoof cannot be defeated! Aaaaaaaaagh!!!1

Posted by: SSSS
Verified Purchase:Yes
So far, soooooo good! I rid myself of a fApple Watch because my iPhone went bouncing down the roadway and into a bazillion pieces none of which I could recover so that my warranty could be honored at Best Buy. My watch was pretty much made useless without the iPhone. Dumb. Really dumb. And I bought the warranty but could not safely get any of the parts as I was on a motorcycle and the road was BUSY!
So I bought this to go with an Android phone. UGH...Android is nothing special, but the watch is.
It has a tactile feeling of pure quality and seems to work well. My main complaint is that I cannot turn off the Blootoof so I CANNOT WEAR IT AT WORK! I filled out the survey by Withings and hopefully they will update it so I can turn it off when I am at work
If not, I have another month + to take this otherwise fine timepiece back and get something else that I can turn the Blootoof OFF on.
Recommended with the caveat that you CAN'T TURN OFF THE BLOOTOOF!!!!
I am not frustrated. I'm reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeal frustrated. Trust me. I know what I'm doin' when I'm reviewin'.

The Roomba 600 series robot vacuum is a great way to begin cleaning your home smarter. It learns your cleaning habits and then offers up custom cleaning schedules~taking on daily dirt, dust, and debris from carpets and hard floors. It even has an edge-sweeping brush to get into corners and along edges. Google Assistant and Alexa compatibility let you start a cleaning session with just your voice, or simply use the iRobot Home App. When your area~s pollen count is high or during pet shedding season, the Roomba 600 series robot vacuum can even suggest extra cleanings ~to help keep your floors clean every day of the year. *(Alexa and all related logos are trademarks of Amazon.com or its affiliates.

I bought this for my brother and his wonderful wife. I have both BobSweep and iRobot vacuums and they do too. But...Here comes the big but, iRobot has quickly become the family favorite.
They just plain work. I often say I do not buy anything that I would consider junque and iRobot is as far from that as one could get in the world of robotzied vacuums. Highly recommended by myself and my brother and his wife!
I have NEVER been disappointed by this brand and again, I don't buy garbage for those I love.

Not exactly sliced bread...

Verified Purchase:Yes
Poor connectivity issues (even after firmware updates) and ridiculously useless "touch controls" made these without much merit in my eyes and ears.
They could not hold a connection while my older Sony MDR XB950N1s worked as always, i.e., flawlessly. This was also evident in my test of the Sennheiser PXC 550iis and their Momentum 3 ANC headphones.
I was not willing to keep hoping these would work. Their noise cancelling was not up to the XB950s abilities either. I may have gotten a bad seed but I was not willing to keep returning and trying another pair, so...Back they went. Others have a different experience.
This is mine. Not theirs. ;-) No recommended by me at this moment in time.
I settled on the Bose QC45s as the keepers of my recent ANC headphone comparison and alternate between those and my excellent Sony XB950s! The Bose are better than the XM4s but so too are my Sony XB950s.
Trust me. I know what I'm doin' when I'm reviewin'.

Turn your smartphone into an entertainment controller with this Kenwood digital multimedia receiver. USB Rapid Charge devices charge faster than average and, because of Bluetooth phone pairing, you can play audio on two devices at once. The iDatalink Maestro RR on this Kenwood digital multimedia receiver lets you seamlessly interface with satellite radio.Geek Squad~ installation is strongly recommended for this product. Please visit your local Best Buy store for details.

...I keep having to plug and unplug the USB to get the phone to work!
That may be a problem with the Maestro interface (and I have spoken with other Mustang owners that have not suffered this insufferable problem!) but I know it is not the phone as it works just fine with my Dodge Ram. I cannot call and it refuses to read text messages which does not happen with my Android Auto capable OEM radio in my Ram. It is very frustrating.
But otherwise, the unit is excellent! If anyone else has this problem and knows what the heck is going on, I hope to read it here. I am getting ready to return the unit and upgrade to a more expensive model just to get this problem to go away!
This phone problem is the ONLY reason I cannot recommend an otherwise great product. Maybe if I upgrade to a more expensive unit I will be able to use it as it is intended?! I like Kenwood but this radio is driving me nutso, LOL!

It STILL sucks! Kenwood? Bueller? Bueller?
January 12, 2020
Look, I had a new unit installed today and I still have problems. So they hooked my ANDROID PHONE up to a couple more units in including a Pioneer and the problem was there so then...Is it my phone? Nope. My phone works just fine with Android Auto in my 2018 Dodge Ram. Not a freakin' problemo! I have literally worn out the USB-C input jack on my phone because the ONLY WAY TO MAYBE GET THIS TO WORK IS TO KEEP PLUGGING AND UNPLUGGING THE DEVICE!!!
So hey...Kenwood. I am now going to buy another NEW PHONE because of the worn out USB-C input from trying to get this unit to work in my Mustang. Again, no problems with the same freaking phone in my Dodge Ram. For almost an hour today (01/11/2020) the unit worked! I could ask it to play something and it would! I could ask it to text something to a specific person and it would! I could ask it to call as specific person and it would and I could actually hear and speak with them via the system!!! And then it stopped working.
i am about to put my fist through this unit and smash it to pieces but I am into this for a total of nigh on $1,200 dollars. I do NOT blame BB but really now, if Android Auto doesn't "always work with all Android phones" then Kenwood can have this back..

By taeewaee
I had one just like this that I had gotten in June 2018 for college and it quit on me and there was nothing that could have been about it. I received this one today and it is perfect! There are reviews that the keyboard doesn’t light up but it actually does! You just have to push a button to turn it on. It is very lightweight and the speed of it is unbelievable! Only con is, it overheats quickly if it is sitting down on a blanket or something. I had it on my chest and I had no heating problems and the fan worked perfectly so I am guessing it needs to be on a flat surface.

As Etta James would say...."At last"....
July 24, 2020
If I could change my review it would now be 5 STARS. Why? Because I gave up on Android Auto and went with a new Apple iPhone SE and CarPlay. At last! The stereo delivers all that it should have. I may NEVER go back to Android Auto and that's too bad but nothing I did worked and I grew tired of poor performance that I now know is entirely the fault of every Android phone I tried. I even bought a very nice top o' the line Android phone and took it back the next day because it was worse than my Motorola!
So...This Kenwood is now HIGHLY recommend for those with iPhones. I like it so much that I am likely to upgrade to new speakers, a powered sub and a 4 channel amp. Thank you.

Great price! Hisense H65 Series but theres a catch
By Meimei
I was please for what I paid for, as it replaces an old tv in my living room. However, it was disappointing finding out that there were no screws for mounting, which usually comes with all the TVs I had purchased in the past (Sony, Samsung & RCA). I tried to fit the screws from my old TVs, but none of them fits. I went to lowes, and got smaller size screws, but still, it did not fit. What more disappointing was, I called Hisence C/S and I was told that Hisense DO NOT provide mounting screws, only the tiny stand screws ☹. The Hisense C/S provided me the type of screws, which is M6, but no size. I found out the screws I got yesterday were M6 and those did not fit. I’m done with this. I have been doing a curve side and delivery purchases, coz I have an undelaying medical condition and high risk for the COVID. I can’t go back and forth to Lowes and finds a perfect screw match. This TV cannot be just standing, due to its size, and a small earthquake can for sure knock it down. Right now, this one I got is standing up, its feet are unstable that we have to fasten it on the wall to be secured. If I cannot have the TV mount, then it’s going back to the store. Unfortunately, I will have to take it back after I spent all my afternoon setting it up.

Re: Mounting screws...
July 31, 2020
Hi - I know of NO television set and I've installed plenty of Samsung, Sony, Panasonic, etc. models, that come with screws to mount against a wall. The brackets that we all must buy separately have inside their box, contain a variety of mounting screws for different size holes on different TVs. TV manufacturers pretty much stick to a Universal mounting size so that people can purchase a mounting bracket and install their TV with what the company making the brackets includes.
If you want to use your old mounts, simply got to a hardware store and purchase the correct size screws to attach the TV to the wall mounts. It's easy! Again, I have NEVER seen a TV set come with screws to attach the "arms" to a TV so that it can be hung on a wall mount. As I said, it's an easy fix and it's not the responsibility of the TV manufacturer to include said screws. As you said, they did put some in for mounting the legs of their TV to the TV.
You can do this!

This is a fine laptop. Fast. Quiet. Cool running too, even when charging on my lap as I work. But...Like another laptop I had it also loses the touchscreen feature several times an hour. I have to close the program and reopen it and hope it stops. It does not. This is getting old fast and I have a few days left to return it as I am in the ElitePlus category but I don't want to return it I want it to work.
The only other problem it has is when watching a movie or even a video and I enlarge the screen the top of the screen splits and wavers with the upper image. I don't know how else to explain this but I know it should not do this.
I would still recommend it to friends and family because I am hoping this stupid touchscreen problem can be rectified by firmware and the same with the weirdo screen problem I mentioned. And yes, I have done every update under the sun so far, LOL!

After going through a couple of these otherwise fine laptops I have given up on this model. The Blue Meanie Screenie of Death was too much to keep trying to recover from. The freezing of 80% of the lower part of the screen while a tiny bit up at the top kept working was driving me crazy. The random loss of the touch screen drove me nutso.
And so...Back it went to BB. I am trying a different brand that is equipped nearly the sameand have high hopes but who knows? If the PC i just purchased does ANYTHING wrong, anything at all... Back it goes and I will return to fApple via a new iPad Pro (I like having the touch screen, especially on airplane trips as it is so much easier to use.

I dont normally leave reviews, but on this one i decided i would
After choosing between this and the yamaha 8k receiver, i decided on this one. Honestly, visually it looks nicer to my eye. Also, its 8k ready where as the yamaha 8k is a future update.
Now dont get me wrong, i have a yamaha 4k receiver in my bedroom and i love it to death, but if im dropping $$ for a 8k receiver, i want it 8k out of the box
Setup was pretty basic and an easy step by step walkthru. I seen other reviews saying it was a nightmare. i dont know why, it was just very easy. asked you everything bit by bit.
Connecting the wires was also easy, everything was labled, didnt need instructions to figure it out.
I love that i can plug everything into the 8k ports, such as my cable box and 4k player and that i can change the program in settings so when i hit the cable button on remote, it goes to the alternate cable hdmi connection.
Sound is great, had to mess around with it a little to find the right settings for the surround sound and subwoofer.
My only real gripe is the phono. I have a vinyl player, i have it connected to the phono port, on my yamaha it was connected into a/v2. The issue i have is the volume when playing is low, like REALLLLLLL low. I had to turn up the volume to 50 to start to hear sound from it. i dont know why, i tried using a preamp, but then the sound was low and very staticy no matter how i changed hte settings. Seems odd to me that my tv will be blaring at vol 50 but i can barely hear my record player
Other then that, no issues with the system at all. for 500 its deff worth it. The sound is amazing, i dont need all the bells and whistles the $700 systems have, this seems to have everything i need. So if your looking for an easy system for a 8k beginner, go for this. you wont be disappointed
if u plan on listening to vinyls tho, well i dont know, maybe someone can figure that issue out
The phono input is AWFUL!
April 16, 2022
The phono input on this model is AWFUL. It is without merit and if Denon cannot help than back this goes and I will look further upscale from Denon and Marantz. Denon? Care to help us out, please? I hope so.

This rebuttal is for liteon163...
April 16, 2022
If the phono input on the back of the AVR-660H is not for a phonograph then why pray tell is marked as such and written as being just that in the literature accompanying the unit? Sorry, this phono input is stupid weak. If I have to buy a phono pre-amp and then use a different analog input just to get the vinyl signal up to snuff then this AVR-660H is going back long before my 60 days is up!
The Denon AVR-660H is purported to possess a working phono input, so do not make excuses for what surely must be the wimpiest phono input I have yet to use! The Pioneer Elite SX-N30 that this Denon was bought to replace SMOKES the power output of the Denon with ease and not only all around but in particular, the phono section. liteon163 your words may have been well meaning but per all Denon literature on this unit, they are incorrect. It does have a phono input, just a stupid weak one.
Again, Denon? What is going on with this model, please? I shopping online here for a replacement as I use my turntable. Currently I have hooked up my Pro-Ject Sgt Peppers 50th Anniversary Essential III and I have to turn it to at least "60" to get any sound from my speakers with a sensitivity value of 91. It was far worse with the 88db ones I tried last night!

I have solved the phono level problem!!!!
April 16, 2022
I will also include this in my own review to follow within a week or so of the Denon AVR-S660H.
1) Select your input. In this case "Phono".
2) Now select "Setup".
3) Now select "Inputs".
4) Now select "Source Level".
5) Adjust level via remote for up to 12db of gain.
Exit. Repeat if you wish another input selection to have its level increased or decreased. Each input MUST be selected on the remote and shown on the receiver display prior to making the other selections I have outlined above. It is individual for each input. I raised my Phono all the way and now it works a whole LOT better!
I can now recommend this unit without hesitation. If that changes I shall leave an update here. All the best and happy listening...At last!

The Pinnacle of Entry Level Hi-Fi.
By Brock
Alright folks, I've been on a 6-month bender listening to Marantz' stereo amps since January. I first started with the PM7000, then the Model 30, and now the Model 40N. Take my thoughts with a grain of salt -- audio is always subjective and I'm a relatively new traveller on the Hi-Fi journey. I'll just cut right to the chase.
The Model 40 is the absolute top end of what I would consider to be entry level Hi-Fi.
What you're getting in one chassis is a quality integrated amp at 70w per channel, a reasonably good DAC, and a decent streamer. Let's break it down. Overall sound signature is very "Marantz." Warm, jammy sound that's rich and detailed. At first glance, it's probably everything you might want from an integrated amp. I did some side-by-side comparisons using my KEF R7 loudspeakers.
First up was DAC capability. I used the integrated DAC with source from the built-in network streamer VS a Topping D90 with source from my TV via optical and Audioquest interconnects. Switching back and forth was mercifully easy thanks to Spotify Connect, and after a lot of listening, I can say confidently that the D90 does resolve more detail. HOWEVER... the fact that it took direct back and forth listening of the same few songs multiple times to really get a good impression of the 40N's shortcomings speaks volumes about what's in the Marantz. And there were actually things I preferred about the sound of the 40N, even though the D90 resolves more detail!
Sound meshes more pleasantly using the integrated DAC, which is especially more prevalent in bass-rich songs. Ironically, "Gooey" by Glass Animals was the song that really made it click for me and spelled out what kind of sound the 40N is going for. As I said, warm, jammy, rich... "gooey."
Moving on, the real question many people might have is how does it sound vs it's slightly beefier but less updated brother, the Model 30. That was the main question burning in my mind and with the 40N being so new, it's difficult to find comparisons online. I had the rare opportunity to do a side-by-side demo using my friend's KEF Reference 5 meta loudspeakers and, hoo boy, there's some differences.
Testing equipment is as follows: Amazon Echo Link for source with optical out, Topping D90 DAC (we opted not to bother with the integrated DAC for consistency's sake), Audioquest interconnects to the power amp inputs on both amps. Direct 1:1 comparison.
The first and foremost difference is straight up power delivery. The Model 30 just has more horses under the hood. Not a bad thing, they say it right in the brochure, but there it is. If you've got power-hungry speakers, the Model 30 is undoubtedly the better choice. I wonder at whether this difference is accentuated more dramatically by the Model 40N being an A/B amp whereas the 30 is a class D. Either way, the Model 30 delivers more volume.
Detail is up next. The Model 30 offers texture, precision and urgency in it's delivery of sound. This is a HI-FI amp, meant to be listened to with a furrowed brow and stroking of one's chin. Imagine a buffet of resolved, detailed sound, sliced up with intention and put out on separate platters to be enjoyed individually. I wouldn't call it a cool sounding amp, but it's got a bit of a sharper edge than it's younger brother. That's the Model 30.
The Model 40N is an amp made for the people. Sound jells together less intricately, but has a pleasant vibe to it. Songs are juicy, rhythmic, and musical. In a head to head against the Model 30, I prefer the more exotic pips and pops that the 30 can deliver. It sounds like something that even the layman would indentify as a high-end system.
The 40N, with it's modern considerations and "everything but the speakers" mentality is, in my opinion, more value for the dollar. Honestly, a fantastic amp. You should buy it.
And the HEOS?

The Motorola edge is the perfect combination of a high-quality 6.8~ Max Vision display that lets you watch shows on the largest display in its class. The insanely fast 144Hz refresh rate looks super smooth. Plus, true-to-life colors with improved brightness and contrast.
 

Does this work with Android Auto or not? The reason i ask is that I have a Motorla Z3 Play that doesn't play well with Android Auto at ALL. I had an iPhone and may go back but want to know about this model and Android Auto. Thanks!

The iDatalink Maestro RR on this Kenwood digital multimedia receiver lets you seamlessly interface with satellite radio.Geek Squad~ installation is strongly recommended for this product. Please visit your local Best Buy store for details.
 

I already have XM Radio, do I need to buy a new receiver?

You may have to have BB hook up your XM Tuner (if possible) to the unit. If that cannot be done and you want to use that feature you can purchase an XM Tuner from BB and have it connected to the device and then have SiriusXM switch your account over to the new tuner's I.D.

I have this Kenwood in my Mustang and I had them hook the XM roof antenna up with a pigtail to my portable SiriusXM player's cradle (connected to a spare input) and BAZINGA! It works great. I can also use my streaming account via my iPhone if I so choose but out n the middle of the Arizona desert I don't always have a 4G signal to stream music but I always have my SiriusXM satellite signal.

Is this radio compatible with an IPhone XR? Also meaning, that I don't want to have to use an USB port to connect my phone. Thanks, any info will be GREATLY appreciated.

This particular unit does not have Bluetooth Android Auto/Apple CarPlay capabilities. you will have to upgrade to a different model, otherwise it works absolutely flawlessly for me with the Blootoof hooked up and the Apple cable pllugged into the USB-A port. Flawlessly.

Yes! It works GREAT with my new iPhone SE and I had Android prior to that and Android Auto stunk with the two different phones I tried but CarPlay works flawlessly for me with this Kenwood and I would tell you otherwise. Like Superman said, I never lie.

Shoot amazing videos and photos with the Ultra Wide, Wide, and Telephoto cameras. Capture your best low-light photos with Night mode. Watch HDR movies and shows on the 6.5-inch Super Retina XDR display ~ the brightest iPhone display yet.~ Experience unprecedented performance with A13 Bionic for gaming, augmented reality (AR), and photography. And get all-day battery life~ and a new level of water resistance.~ All in the first iPhone powerful enough to be called Pro.
 

Would anyone care to remark on how Apple CarPlay is compared to Android Auto? I have the latter and it kinda SUCKS as it often doesn't recognize the phone is plugged in or when I speak to it it will turn the radio UP LOUD and not hear me, etc? Thx!

I am the person that asked this question and now that i have bought the iPhone SE and have used CarPlay in my Dodge Ram I shall answer it as no one else appears to ha e been able to do so.

Yes. CarPlay and this new 2nd Gen iPhone SE works a whole lot BETTER than does Android Auto and my Motorola Z3 Play. Yippeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!

Does the iPhone SE (2020 - 2nd generation) have the infamous notch?

No.

I have NOT seen a "notch" infamous or otherwise. The phone works and looks just fine.

Take a breath of fresh air with this Dyson Pure Cool air purifier. A dimming LED display and quiet operation make this purifier ideal for use in your bedroom, and the integrated fan delivers a burst of cool air on hot evenings. Created to remove 99.97 percent of allergens, this Dyson Pure Cool air purifier lets you breathe easy year-round.
 

Is this a fan also? Or just a air purifier.

It's a fan. It's a filter! It's a...a...Fanilter!

Yes, it is both in one. It's two! Two! TWO devices in ONE! It works fantastico and I have no regrets in buying or recommending it to anyone. If you want a more powerful fan, look elsewhere but if you NEED a :"FANILTER", look no further. All the best to you!

Listen to your favorite music with the Denon HEOS 5 speaker. Inside are two custom-designed tweeters, a passive radiator and two mid-woofers, delivering a hi-fi-audio experience. The singular form and handle let you transport it anywhere with ease, and the Denon HEOS 5 speaker wirelessly streams music from your phone, tablet, cloud, USB and NAS.
 

Why are these so cheap all of the sudden? Are they going to be discontinued/end of life now that the Denon Home is out?

Per Denon they will be discontinued but still supported and will work with the new "Home" series and all Heos related products. I asked Denon and that is what they told me.

Experience a new dimension of music with this Zound Industries smart speaker. The built-in Amazon Alexa feature lets you change songs without lifting a finger. This Zound Industries smart speaker has two 15W amplifiers for powerful, clear sound and a far-field microphone array to recognize commands from across the room.
 

Is the Alexa in the device or do you need an Alexa device to go with it?

I just asked "Alexa" via this Marshall speaker to play Harry Belafonte's "Dance Senora" and it did so! So I think all you need do is ask and so long as it is available, it shall be played. At least that's my experience so far. ;-)
