I bought this watch to replace a Withings that burned a watch shaped "tattoo" into my wrist. I am also handicapable and sometimes prone to falling and this watch will call for help if I happen to knock myself out or otherwise cannot get up.
The battery life is awful but I knew that going in. The watch itself is great as are the features.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I have had SiriusXM for nearly 20 years now and this is the nicest tuner yet! I had the XmP3 for several years and it was the only portable with a battery that allowed me to take it on walks but I needed a larger display and easy station acces so I went for the Onkyx!
It has been superb and plays 24 hours a day for years now without any problems. I have it installed in the SiriuxXM "boombox" (it can be plugged in or run on batteries!) and cant take the music outdoors with ease. I also have a car kit with the antenna lead securely connected to the OEM satellite antenna on the room of my Mustang and it works great allowing me to have uninterrupted access to music in the middle of nowhere!
Highly recommend!

What started out as a tiny imperfection after installation has grown up. It is a big bubble now and I am hoping it can be "squeegeed" away!
Otherwise the protection is excellent. I have a physical handicap and so this shield has to live up to its rep. So far, so good!

I needed a new phone as I have a physical handicap and when I fell this time, I fell hard down some stairs and broke my Motorola Stylus which had been a great phone and my favorite Android so far. But...
I decided to return to fApple for this iPhone 14 and the excellent nigh on faultless way CarPlay works. Additionally, this iPhone 14 is much faster than any phone I have owned to date. I don't play games on my phone but I do send photos to family and friends and this iPhone 14 is, as I said, the fastest yet at this task.
I may have to go back in as the screen protector now has a large bubble under it whereas when they first installed it at BB it had a very tiny one. Frustrating and not the fault of the iPhone 14. Highly recommended/

I now own and use ten of Denon's HEOS/Home series of wireless speakers. The newest versions are these Home 150 models and they are by far the easiest to set up and use.
They also have "buttons" on the top panel that makes it easy to have up to three presets assigned. So far I haven't the need but when I do it looks to be quite easy to do so.
These 150s can be used individually or as a stereo pair. It is also now possible to assign different models in the Home series (i.e., 150, 250 and 350) as stereo pairs. And it is EASY!
Denon's Application is very easy to use. I have it on iPhones, Android phones, iPads and an Amazon Tablet and it works superbly across those devices. My HEOS system allows me to play music from my Pandora, SiriusXM and Amazon Music UHD accounts with ease and I can send that music to my speakers or different services to different speakers. I can even wireless send my CD players music (a new Onkyo 6 disc player I bought here at BB!) or even my records!
Yup! I can send the output of my turntable to any speaker or speakers in our home, wirelessly. Denon's Home 150 speakers and their HEOS system is without a doubt the best I have experienced. I have given Denon and HEOS/Home 150s to my older brother and his wonderful wife. It really is easy and the sound is superb! And unlike some companies, to date all of Denon's HEOS speakers are backward COMPATIBLE for use with the newer Home series of speakers. Denon is my choice in home entertainment!
The new Home 150s are now a part of our home system and my brother and his wife's too! Trust me on this. I know what I'm doin' when I'm reviewin'.

I have owned one of these excellent CD players for a few years now and decided rather than buy a new singled disc player I would get this one.
Just like the one I have owned for years, this new Onkyo works superbly. It fits well in the new TV/Entertainment stand I also just bought from BB. It was easy to hook up and fill with discs and hit "RANDOM" and settle back with an icy cold "non-adult beverage"!
It also looks great! I cannot hear any difference unless a piece of equipment is so poorly made or defective and this Onkyo is not that. It is well made and relatively "heafty". I have a Sony 300 Disc player for about 10 years now and it too works great but when I get new CDs or just want to hear a favorite right away, this changer is my go to workhorse. Highly recommended?
Yup! How can anything built with such quality be anything but highly recommended? No complaints here!

This excellent stand took my son about 4.5 hours to assemble. I am a handicapable seasoned citizen and so it was too difficult for me and he was kind enough to do this.
The stand is great and my only reason for not giving it 5 stars is my stand had scrapes and discoloration/mottling on it and some of the hardware just would NOT easily fit.
It fits now but the box was undamaged but the stand was, as I said, scraped and just oddly/weirdly almost unacceptably scraped up.
It holds my Denon AVR-X4300 (bought at BB!) and my 400 disc BluRay changer and a new Klipsch center channel speaker (a gift from one of my brothers!) and a 55" Samsung CURVED(!) TV (also bought at BB!). And more to come.
I was considering up-sizing to a 70" curved TV but the largest sold at Best Buy is "only" a 65". I may give in but we shall see.
This unit is nice looking, very sturdy, somewhat difficult to assemble due to size but possible. Nothing was damaged buy us, we opened the box and my son began assembling it and as he went we noticed the scratches and markings and discoloration. It isn't the end of the world but I had my last stand for over 30 years and if this really bugs me I hope that I can exchange it within the 60 days I have.
If not, oh well. It would likely be a bigger pain in the buttocks to do that than to just turn a blind eyes as the saying goes.
Highly recomended? Yuppers! Especially at the wonderful sale price! Trust me. I know what I'm doin' when I'm reviewin'.

I had bought and tested out ANC 'phones from Sennheiser, Sony and Bose. The only ones I kept were the Bose QC 45s. I own a pair of Bose QC45s and I bought them new.
I had bought a pair of "refurbished" Momentum 3s and found them to be lacking. So several months later I am still happy with the QC45s but wanted to try an new pair of Momentum 3s as I had found their reproduction of music (a purely subjective preference) to be slightly better than the other 3 headphones including the QC45s.
So I ordered and picked up these Momentum 3s from BB. And I am glad I gave them another chance. The refurbies could not hold onto a Bluetooth signal at all. The newbies did much, much better but were still no match for the signal holding tenacity of the QC45s.
And again, their reproduction was subjectively as teensie-weensie bit better. The battery lasts fairly well but a bit less than the Bose but still more than adequate!
And they look a whole lot cooler than the new Momentum 4s.
So I am happily keeping them and highly recommend them to all! I do NOT buy junque either for myself or my family and friends. These are excellente'!

I have owned and used an earlier pair of Klipsch for over ten yearss now. And then I bought these...These are grrrrrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaT!
Their incredibly high efficiency rating means that they can play LOUD with a flea-watt amp but I m using 90 watts to play them and even that average amount of power is enough to make music and movies LOUD enough to wake and bake your listening area to LIFE!
Highs are NOT disturbingly pingy like some folk would claim all Klipsch do. And the bass? It is satisfying and percussive. Buy a pair for yourself and prepare to get HAPPY!
I listen to traditoinal Jazz and there is often a LOT of bass because they use real instruments among which more than a few produce superb, deeeep notes. Not that stooopid THUD of modern day poop music but acoustic BASS. No...Not the fish the notes.
And the also take an action flick and nick it up more than a notch or three. Buy a pair of these and as I said, be HAPPY!
Highly recommend-o-mundo indeed! Trust me. I know what I'm doin' when I'm reviewin'!

The Pioneer GM-DX874 four-channel amplifier delivers 100 watts RMS at 4 ohms to each of your front and rear speakers for powerful music. CTA-2006 compliant, this highly efficient Class D technology provides impressive, high-quality power in a compact chassis. The frequency response extends up to 50,000 Hz, supporting crystal-clear Hi-Res Audio Certified playback. The GM-DX874 uses high-grade electronic components and gold-plated RCA connections to ensure maximum performance. You can configure your amplifier into 3-channel mode (4 ohm loads) to create a strong front soundstage (2x 75 watts RMS) with tight bass from the bridged subwoofer (1x 300 watts RMS). The speaker-level inputs allow you to install this amp in a factory system without RCA connections. Built-in high-pass and low-pass filters let you optimize the sound for your vehicle's interior. A wired bass control remote also lets you easily control the amount of bass from the subwoofer output (SW).
Does this amplifier make a loud "POP!" when turning the audio system off or on, or does it have relays to prevent this annoying problem. I ask because the last time I put an amp in my truck (albeit years ago), the speakers did just that.

Apple - iPhone 11 Pro Max 256GB - Midnight Green (Verizon)
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!

Is Apple CarPlay any more reliable that Android Auto? Primary use is as a phone but when in my vehicles I use Android Auto for music and that app seems VERY "buggy", including connection problems out the wazoo! I have just about had it! Thx!

My TV has a horrid "mosaic" affect on deep blacks that cannot be adjusted away. Also, this new TV "communicates" with my Denon AVR and turns on the AVR and starts turning on media players like Blu Ray and UHD Disc players. I hate this!!! HELP!!!!!
Thank you Roseb. The TV is hooked up properly and other than you kind reply I've found nothing to alleviate my problems with an otherwise fine TV.
I am giving it back under warranty. I have long since grown weary of they way this thing turns every freaking device on unless and worse. I have asked Hisense here for help but NOooooOOoooooooo!!!!!

I am thinking of moving my computer and hooking it up to a tv. I play high tech fast action games and looking for a tv that will handle the speed. I'm told the refresh rate is a major importance. I'm looking hopefully for a tv about 65 inch.
In gaming mode the refresh rate is 144Hz.

Does this have a fiber optic output
The TV has a Toslink/Optical Output. The TV is the audio source and as such it does not have an Optical input.

Two questions: I heard the U8K drops the HDMI signal, especially when using an HDMI splitter. Has this been a problem for anyone? I use an HDMI splitter to hook up multiple gane consoles. Also, have people run into dirty screen effect with the U8K?
8K is not widely (if at all) available via streaming. I spoke with my son who is an avid gamer and he said it isn't much of a deal in that environment.
If you split your source you are likely to suffer signal degradation unless you insert a device too boost said signal.

Can you use an Amazon Fire Stick with this TV, even though it’s Google? Apparently the cable company I am joining says they give you an amazon fire stick. Want to be sure it works with this TV. Thanks
Yes you can. I have done so via direct input of my Fire Stick 4K to the TV or via inputting the Firestick 4K into my Denon AVR-X4300H and it works superbly!

Do TV's with Tuner Type ATSC 3.0 (NextGen TV) also work with atsc 1.0 signal?
The standards are backward compatible. I hope this proves helpful to you!

What is the Ethernet port's maximum BPS achievable.
I have found it to be fast enough for 4K films via Disney +, Amazon and MAX. My wireless hardwired speeds regularly exceeed 700+ MPS and wired is up to 1 Gig +.
There is no buffering of film or music as I sometimes use the TV for Atmos Encoded music.

Does the tv have clear picture when viewed at an angle or is it better viewed straight on
No complaints so far with this aspect of ownership! This TV is overall the best I have owned!
