I purchased this for my daughter. She is a massive Pokémon fan. She played the last game X/Y and couldn't wait to get your hands on this one. My daughter gives this game three thumbs up.

Iron Man 2 picks up where the first movie ended. The movie is a lot of fun and has plenty of action. What I didn't like about the movie was the laser focus on Tony Stark. Mickey Rourke was under utilized in this film and I found that to be a shame. The scenes he was in were fantastic and much more interesting than Tony struggling with his daddy issues. I wish Marvel would learn that developing a bad guy can be a good thing.
The introduction of Scarlett Johansson was great. She was sexy, smart, and tough. Everything you want to see in a female version of James Bond.

This is my very first home theater subwoofer. So I really don't have anything to compare this too other than what I heard in the store. Comparing both sound and price this was the best for both. The sub was on sale for $300 and sounded great with the B&W speakers I purchased with them. How could I go wrong? My movies sound amazing. Movies rock my house and music sounds amazing. I did listen to the B&W 10" sub but didn't like the punchiness. Not to say it wasn't a great sub. It simply didn't align with what I wanted in a base. Either way I am happy with my purchase.

My first center channel was a sound plate from LG. LG has nothing on this center channel. The voices are clear, crisp, full bodied, and are audible at all volume levels. I matched these up with a pair of B&W 685 bookshelf speakers. Amazing sound.

Where I live my choices for quality audio are limited. So I took a trip to my closest Magnolia store in the neighboring state. I brought with me a small selection of music and a few movies so that I could audition the speakers. I understand that how it sounds in the showroom is not exactly what I should expect in my home but it would give me some idea of what the speaker's themselves can handle. I told the Best Buy rep what my goals were. He brought me into the higher end sound room and let me audition the whole room. After trying out a few systems he steered me towards the B&W line. I had never heard of these guys but after the first demo it became my baseline for comparing everything else to. The sound was clear, full, and essentially my ears loved them. After about an hour of playing around with music, movies, and matching center and subs I finally settled on the 685s. They fit the balance of size and price I was looking for. I have not regretted the decision. They sound just as wonderful in my living room. I chose to match this up with the HTM62 S2 and the Energy ESW-C10 which was on sale for half the price of the B&W Sub. Music sound wonderful compared to my old Bose 321 system. And I find myself leaving the radio running all day now that music doesn't have that cruddy Bose sound. Movies are full and rich at all volume levels. When I finish building out my home theatre they will be with additional B&W speakers.

This is a fantastic slow cooker. The probe is easy to program and the LCD display is a god send. I really enjoy cooking with this slow cooker because I no longer have to guess if my food is done. The system sets itself warm when the desired time or temp have been reached. And the clamps on the lid take the worry out of transporting the food to a party or local event.

The tunes are catchy and fun. However the topics are the same relationship themes that permeate all of her work. It would be nice to hear an album with some fresher themes other than dating and relationship issues.

Bowers & Wilkins - B&W PI5 True Wireless Headphones with Adaptive Noise Cancellation, Bluetooth 5.0 with Qualcomm aptX, Charcoal - Charcoal
B&W PI5 true wire-free headphones are attractive, well-built, and they deliver a refined sound quality. Featuring Bluetooth 5.0 with Qualcomm aptX technology these earphones ensure reliable connectivity whether you are streaming from your smartphone, tablet or PC. Allows connection of up to two devices at the same time, however, only one device can be used to play or make a call at a time. Download the Bowers & Wilkins free headphone app, available for Apple and Android for further control of the sound and noise cancellation, right on your phone. The PI5 headphones feature the latest innovations in adaptive noise cancellation along with 4 built-in microphones that pick up ambient noise and cancel it with an equal, but opposite, audio signal and enhance the call quality. There are three levels of Adaptive Noise Cancellation – High, Low and Auto, that can be controlled either by the multi-functional button on the left earbud or via the app. Similarly, the touch-sensitive button on the right earbud allows you to enable voice assistance. The buttons also allows you to control playback and phone call functions with single (play/pause, answer call), double (skip forward, end call), or triple presses (skip backward). Another stand-out feature of these headphones is the intuitive detection sensors that put the earphones on standby or reconnect them depending upon whether they are removed or put back on. The PI5s come with a sturdy and attractive charging case for charging the earbuds when not in use. The case is equipped with two 350mAh rechargeable batteries. Each earbud has a rechargeable battery which provides up to 4 hours of wireless playback. Including the charging case, the PI5 can provide up to 12 hours of continuous playback.

You can connect the laptop to a Gsync monitor and take advantage of all the features of Gsync with that monitor.
