The MA310 is a good unit but not great. It lacks a lot of basic features compared to another budget friendly receiver such as wifi, airplay and chromecast.
It is somewhat easy to setup. You do have to navigate through the receiver's display to do any setting changes. Manual states there is a basic OSD but I was never able to get this display on my TV.
Soundwise, it's great. I have it pair to a couple Klipsch outdoor speakers and it can get loud.
For an elaborate setup, it's doable but if you're looking for ease of use to connect to any connected service, look at different receiver or step up to the MA510/710.
I would say this is great alternative if you don't want a soundbar or setting up an outdoor patio.

A Stylish watch that still performs
on December 31, 2025
Posted by: emptystreets130
Verified Purchase:Yes
Upgrading from a Galaxy Watch 5 Pro, this Ultra 2024 blows it out of the water in terms of performance. The GW5Pro constantly lags where this Ultra is just smooth sailing.
I was looking at the Ultra 2024 and the Ultra 2025 but could not justify the cost of the 2025. If you can find the Ultra 2024 for a great price, jump on it.
It's a big watch so beware smaller wrist users. Bands are hard to find. You mainly have to get the official band or some questionable 3rd party band.

Great phone for traveling and for general use
on December 31, 2025
Posted by: emptystreets130
Verified Purchase:Yes
A great budget phone for traveling abroad minus a few issues.
Pros: Great build quality, not much bloated software, responsive. Love the vegan leather back. Excellent battery life.
Cons: You can only use 1 ESIM at a time unlike other phones that allows you to use 2 ESIM. Horrible low light camera performance.
Looking for a burner phone to use when traveling and looked at a few budget phones. Motorola has always caught my attention for being a great value. Come from an iPhone 17 pro phone and Pixel 7 Pro, I know what I was getting into. One downside that I mention is that you cannot use 2 esim concurrently. iPhones and at the the Pixel 7 Pro will let you. I usually do this to still receive voice calls on my current carrier and leave the data plan with the country's carrier.
Battery life is amazing. I could get through the day and still have over 50% at the end of the night.
Camera is good. Not great. Low light performance suffer. Video recording it great, normal lighting photography is good. It's not up there with iphone or pixel level photography but it's decent enough to use on social media. But I do carry a DSLR if I want to do any photography abroad.
Overall, a great budget phone for traveling or for general use.

Con:
Coil whine when powered off. It's very annoying if this is going in a bedroom
HDR is glitchy. About half way into my movie, the panel went dim.
Built in Google TV suffers in the image quality department. It's not sharp hence the pro when using external streamer like Roku, fire TV or Google's own streaming device.
Laggy response
Remote needs a direct view of the IR. Otherwise, you'll be moving your arm around trying to navigate the screen.

Finally something for the Android. Is the Pebblebee perfect? No. Does it work? Yes.
Pros: rechargeable, works with the find my device on android. Tracks my item near real time.
Cons: Build quality is not that great. Very flimsy. Feels like it's going to snap in my pocket.
QR code to pair the tracker does not work and keeps trying to open a non-existence page. Just type in the URL from the provided card to connect to your tracker.

Not for Emby, Plex users or formats not supported
on August 10, 2022
Posted by: emptystreets130
Verified Purchase:Yes
So so streaming device. This does not support all file format, so if you are trying to direct play a 4k file format or any non supported format, this ATV won't play it without a 3rd party app. Media servers, like Plex or Emby will try to transcoding those files but will cause a huge buffering issue.
Great if you're just streaming online contents like most people will do. Not great for power users who probably has a DVR or media streaming server with 4k contents without the help of a 3rd party media player app.

Spigen has never failed me yet
on June 24, 2022
Posted by: emptystreets130
Verified Purchase:Yes
Diehard spigen user here and I have always used their cases because they are affordable, not too flashy, and offers great protection. I have their clear case as well and hasn't yellowed at all. Upgraded my existing clear case to have one that is magsafe ready. The fit and finish is great as usual. The cutouts are nice and big and the overlay for the button is not stiff like come competitors. The grip on the case is good, not grippy. I can see it slip after after a few months of oil build up. I'm not going to test the dropping distance. I'll wait until I accidently drop it.
Overall a nice case.

Complements well with HT-A5000 and sub
on June 20, 2022
Posted by: emptystreets130
Verified Purchase:Yes
Wow. I never though the rear speakers would elevate my sound stage because of my past experience with another brand's setup.
But I will tell you this. This has blown my expectation away. The previous brand I had is LG and all you do is pair the system up and go. The Sony system, you could do that but it won't sound great until you do the calibration. After that is done, boom, it sounds like a proper home theater system.
Setup was a bit difficult. The auto link function didn't work properly out of the box. I had to go the soundbar setting and pair everything manually and I had to re-pair my sub as well. Maybe a firmware update can fix that.
I've seen reviews saying that they can barely hear any audio from the rear speakers. What most people don't know about surround sound is that it's suppose to be more of an "effect" sound, like a airplane flying by or explosion. It's not suppose to replicate what's playing from the main channels at full volume.
Overall, I'm very impress with Sony's implementation and calibration. I think moving forward, Sony will be my go to soundbar.

Great for small homes/apartments
on May 16, 2022
Posted by: emptystreets130
Verified Purchase:Yes
One thing before I start the review. These Sony add-on subs are expensive! I originally wanted the SA-SW5 but for and arm and an leg, it wasn't worth it when I could built a system that sounds better than a soundbar and sub. Even at a lower price point for the SA-SW3, it was really hitting my budget. Luckily I found an open box to justify my spending the dough.
Sub is paired to the A5000, not using the Sony TV as the center channel.
On to the review. Nice bass output for a smaller apt/home.
When enabling the external subwoofer, I believe this will disabled the soundbar's built in sub. I also noticed that the vocals on the soundbar is a lot more clearer.
The sub produces clean bass, not so muddy and it adds the right amount of bass after using the AI tuning. I haven't really turn it up in a movie because during my testing, it got plenty loud.
Setup is easy. Power on, hit the link button, go to the sound bar and have it search for any linkable devices. I was up and running in 5 mins.
If you like your sound, I would highly recommend picking up a sub. The SW3 won't make the room shake and the glass rumble but it's a great filler sub to give you that extra ump.

By GoonSquad
Great phone, but zoomed photos are very over-digitized. Plus the fact that best buy wrongly advertised that it has 2 SIM card capability when it does NOT. ONLY to discover this after i paid for a sim card from AT&T and the phone is out of returnable period. That option is only with the A42

Did you get the AT&T\verizon version of the phone. My Unlocked A52 5G has 2 sim slots. Sim2 is a combo sim or microsd, not both at the same time.

None of the cameras work anymore. All three were good for the first week. I hope I can still get my money back. Didn't even shoot in 4k, kept telling me I had to format the SD card; I would have to cycle through the settings three times before the camera would start recording. It never saved any of the settings I would change in the settings options since day one either. I figured all the bad reviews were just people being dramatic but they were actually spot on for this camera.

Remote is defective out of the box - half of the power button is permanently depressed, so when you press the power button, it stays stuck and doesn't release until you smack the remote against your hand. Furthermore there's no HDMI cable included in the box - a bit of a shocker when every other competitor includes one. On the other hand, as an Apple user, I'm already conditioned to being treated like garbage.

Why is the wired speed 1000 mbps and the Wi-Fi speed 5300 mbps? I thought the wired speed would be faster.
Wire is not always faster. Advancements in wifi technology can make wifi a lot faster than hardwire.
Wired speed its limited up to 1000 Mbps since this is has Gb ports.
Wifi speed is actually split among the 3 bands. 2.4GHZ, 5GHz and "5.2GHz".
On the 2.4GHz, it is up to 1147 Mbps, 5GHz up to 2402 Mbps and "5.2GHz" up to 1733 Mbps.
