8gb ram for Dell Inspiron PC
Customer Rating
5.0
This was a great purchase. The ram card snapped right in, requiring just removal of 2 screws, and upon turning on my Dell Inspiron 3647 PC computer instantly recognized the new ram, giving me 12gb total now. Seriously increasing computer speed as the factory 4gb was maxed out causing freezes. I would buy again in a heartbeat! So simple to upgrade.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Sony - MDRXB50 Wired Earbud Headphones - Black
Enjoy crisp, powerful low-end audio with these Sony MDRXB50AP/B earbud headphones, which feature a bass duct design that provides optimal sound isolation. An integrated elecret condenser/omnidirectional microphone lets you chat hands-free.
Great sounding earbuds
Customer Rating
5.0
These Xtra bass in ear earbuds sound really good.
Cost vs value....buy when on sale for under $40 if possible.
Pros.
Great sound reproduction. Crisp highs and excellent bass. Not overwhelmed with bass. An EQ on your listening device will help tremendously to get sound setup to your liking. Has an answer button for incoming and ending calls. This single button also skips to next sound track. Pretty comfortable when in ear for long periods of time. They don't hurt at all after hours of use.
Cons...
There is no volume control on earbuds anywhere...just the single, multi function button for answering/ending calls and skipping songs. The in ear earbuds are not universal fit....meaning one is labeled left and one is labeled right. They will hurt your ears and eventually pop out if in the incorrect ear.
The cable picks up any type of rubbing or movement on say a jacket collar and will emit a loud almost static noise when cable brushes up against something.

After about 4 months of use the built in mic, on same area as the mulifunction button, has stopped working so I can't use to talk on my cell phone. So when I am listening to Pandora on my cell phone with these earbuds and I get a phone call I have to remove an earbud, unplug cord from phone and finally answer the call. Sucks really. But these have lasted quite sometime. We all know in ear earbuds always break. That's why $100 earbuds make no sense.
I WILL BUY THESE AGAIN as soon as I can no longer listen to music and they finally give out fully. Normally, with other brands of earbuds I've tried, one side quits working or I get an annoying static sound through speakers as one side cuts out. Not with these. These Sony earbuds are quite durable actually.
I recommend to buy 100%.

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.
Great 3 way speakers
Customer Rating
5.0
These are a good sounding speakers at a great price. The added super tweeter adds great ultra highs needed compared to 2 way speakers. Only downside to these is the air baffle is in back side of speakers. If you wall mount you will want then a couple inches off the wall or will rattle. A front air port is much better IMO. Otherwise, a great speaker at great price.

Sony - 49" Class (48.5" Diag.) - LED - 2160p - Smart - 4K Ultra HD TV with High Dynamic Range
Choose this Sony television with Android TV for an immersive audio and video experience. Its 4K Processor X1 brings stunning Ultra HD to your home so you can enjoy crystal-clear images in spectacular color. Every frame is automatically upgraded to 4K quality by this Sony television with Android TV, complete with automatic contrast adjustment for lifelike detail.
Don't follow Rtings calibration settings for 49"
Customer Rating
4.0
TV arrived double boxed in 3 days from placing order. No damage and UPS to thank. FedEx would have broke TV no doubt.
The TV is very, very nice looking with a thin bezel, metal stand and a really thin metal center section inside bezel border that adds some needed value to appearance.
No problems setting up, make sure to scan the Qr reader code on orange small label in box with a smartphone or tablet and get all setup info from the links provided by QR code.
Now, the Bluetooth setup that is the first thing it asks you to connect to, makes you actually, is not good. I had to power off TV 3 times during this to eventually skip and get TV actually working. I used manual WiFi setup as auto BT was not going well so I wasn't going to mess with another Auto configuration. My TV required no android or Sony update as last update was back in Nov 2016 and I received in February 2017 so latest firmware already installed.
Now, do not go by Rtings picture calibration settings for the 49X800D. Their settings are for the smaller 43" which has a different picture screen type. Your colors and brightness will be all out of whack.
I used color 44, brightness 10, contrast 85, everything else on auto, and in advanced color options I turned down the R,G,B gains until "I was happy" or you will have BLUE whites. I also turned down the black setting just 2 clicks for personal preference. Even motion enhancer(for upscaling) I put on auto, and I put rest on AUTO.
I'm still adjusting the R,G,B gains as this will net best skin tones and white WHITE backgrounds. (B= -5-8, R=-2-4, G=-2-3) after getting color turned down where reds are blurry. Use COLOR setting to get rid or reds that appear washed out so intense. Then use R,G,B to get skin tones where needed and white WHITES. Trust me.
Remember, Rtings setting are only for the 43" Sony 800D which is a VA screen. I have the 49" 800D and mine are for the 49" IPS screen sony tv. Completely different configurations needed. Play with settings until you are happy. This TV is not the brightest as mentioned. But, I have a 55" LED that is crazy bright and I like having a darker picture in the room I put this TV in which is similar to a basement. If you have a seriously BRIGHT room like a Living room then I would look at maybe a different TV so the brightness can match an open and bright room. But 49'''s is a weird size I think as I can't use a 55" or bigger in room I put my Sony anyways so I am happy. I am just now making very small minimal adjustments now every night I get home from work before I watch another TV to get the skin tones and whites where I want them. Maybe a few more days of tweaking. Glad this Sony gives you many adjustments to make in the advanced settings menu. Some TV's now lock them out and you need special menu codes to access. Not these Sony 800D tvs.
I'm happy with purchase.

Customer Rating
2.0
I nearly returned this stereo from Sony. The tiny 2 way speakers have absolutely no bass and I am using it hooked to my 55" tv in a small to medium sized living room.
The stereo only has treble and bass adjustment, no EQ settings whatsoever. My tv has a 7 band adjustment eq I was able to tweak drastically to help eliminate the speakers from cutting out.
I get clipping which is the speakers cutting out. I even have the stereos bass all the way down to lowest setting with bass boost OFF. STEREO TREBLE is +3( of possible +4). I turned tv bass way down nearly all the way just to eliminate clipping/sound cutouts.
I decided to purchase a Polk 10" powered subwoofer that had speaker wire level inputs since the Sony stereo has zero outputs. Only input is a single 3.5mm aux input too.Only way to hook up to equipment is cheap as can be 3.5mm single aux cord. Boo!
The Polk powered subwoofer, $100 on clearance on Amazon psw10, adds enough bass to have me not return the Sony stereo.
I could have just spent another $170 and bought the excellent Denon or Onkyo hi-fi stereo bookshelf stereos for $499 and gotten MUCH better sound with a need for a bigger subwoofer sitting on my floor which is what I DID NOT WANT, A BIG stereo.
I don't know how people are giving this Sony stereo good reviews. It has no sound output aside from treble. Midrange is even seriously lacking too and ZERO bass...None.
Spend more and get the Denon or Onkyo if you want a great sounding stereo for music and even tv use.
This Sony stereo sucks horrendously! Even on sale this stereo is lacking in sound quality drastically.

ALL SYSTEMS SOUND GOOD WHEN YOU PLAY EASY LISTENING , BUT TO REALLY KNOW HOW GOOD A SYSTEM SOUNDS IS HOW HARD ROCK & METAL SOUND ON THIS SYSTEM . SO MY QUESTION IS HOW DOES THIS SYSTEM SOUND WHEN PLAYING HARD ROCK & METAL ?
Look elsewhere. This stereo sucks. Has no bass at all. Double bass drums will be non existent and stereo can't play loud at all. Spend little more and get Onkyo or the Denon mini stereos. I had to buy a powered sub just to be able to enjoy listening to this junk stereo. I should have returned it honestly.
