I currently own 11 pair of headphones and while I often use one of my BlueTooth models I wanted a pair of 'phones with studio quality isolation and music quality. And (!) a cable long enough to reach my recliner with ease!
The Beyerdynamic DT770 Pro X are just what I wanted! Excellent build quality, fit and finish and the sound isolation you would expect from a closed-back headphone.
Right out of the box, these Beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO X closed-back studio monitor headphones include a detachable 3-meter straight cable with a lockable 3-pin mini-XLR connector on the headphone side of the cable and while I no longer have a headphone amp with XLR outputs, I can appreciate the effort in making this cable connector to the 'phones standard and I really like that the included cable is 3 meters in length! On the input side of the cable is a standard 3.5mm stereo jack and there is also an included 1/4 inch jack (6.35 mm) screw-on adapter in the box along with a carrying bag.
Sound quality is what you would expect from a brand like Beyerdynamic, in a word outstanding! They are comfortable enough that I can use them for several hours at a time and todate my longest listening session has been just over 4 hours and while comfort is a highly subjective factor I will say in my case, well done Beyerdynamic!
I cannot recommend these enough. I bought them with my own money and I never buy anything that I think is of poor quality. My buying and delivery experience were both outstanding.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I am using a beautiful pair of JBL Stage2 280F tower speakers in what is called a "Latte" finish that I chose for it being so well matched with the Silver/Gold Marantz Model 60n I recently bought at the same time. Their dual 8" sub/mid-range drivers ensure that I have no need of a separate subwoofer and the high sensitivity rating of 91db and 6 ohm rating are well suited to the 60 watts per channel output of the Model 60n. The 60n is Class A/B which is important to a great many people in the Audio world and in the case of Marantz and their build quality, is indicative of Marantz's superb componentry and attention to detail. The JBLs are a very high quality pair of affordable and beautifully styled speakers rated at 91db Sensitivity and therefor highly efficient and play both with great detail and if you so wish, extremely loud.
I think highly of JBL's offerings and have been an audio and video enthusiast for well over 50 years now and am a retired Electronics Technician with 39 years of experience so I know what I want and why. Build quality, performance and value. The JBL Stage2 280F speakers have all 3, otherwise I would not have spent my own money on them. The highest recommendation is often putting your money where your mind knows it is best spent. I did just that when I bought these beautiful tower speakers!

I am a retired Electronics Technician with 39 years on the job experience. I am also an avid Audio & Video Enthusiast with well over 50 years in the hobby. I have always thought highly of Marantz equipment and recently put my money where my heart and soul have been pointing me for decades and purchased from Best Buy a new Marantz Model 60n integrated amp with HEOS. I bought it in the Silver/Gold finish to match the Marantz CD60 which was given to me by my two children and also bought at Best Buy.
The Model 60n was bought by me as a bit of an "upgrade" if you will. I also own 2 Denon Home Amps with HEOS (also bought at Best Buy with my own money!) and they are both superb in operation and purposely minimalist in their looks. I say that because my wife required both of the Denon Home Amps for use with one in our guest bedroom and the other down in the family room and appreciated their understated looks. But...It's time to talk about the big but in this purchase. I wanted something for my Media Room that looked and performed without compromise and the Marantz Model 60n does just that. It looks and works in total harmony with not only the matching Marantz CD60 but also with all of the HEOS Home 150 speakers in our home, including our garage gym! The HEOS Application is easy to download and even easier to use and allows you to play the same thing everywhere you have HEOS equipment or to choose a different mood for each piece of your audio pie!
The Model 60n with HEOS plays wonderfully regardless of your chosen method, be it vinyl, CD or Streaming Services via HEOS such as the ones I use - Pandora, Amazon Ultra HD Music or SiriusXM and thousands of Internet available stations!! I am using a beautiful pair of JBL Stage2 280F tower speakers in a white wood finish that again, I bought with my own money at Best BUY and they match perfectly with the Silver/Gold Marantz Model 60n and CD60. Their dual 8" sub/mid-range drivers ensure that I have no need of a separate subwoofer and the high sensitivity rating of 91db and 6 ohm rating are well suited to the 60 watts per channel output of the Model 60n. The 60n is Class A/B which is important to a great many people in the Audio world and in the case of Marantz and their build quality, is indicative of Marantz's superb build quality and attention to detail. The JBLs are rated at 91db Sensitivity and therefor highly efficient and play both with great detail and if you so wish, extremely loud via the 60 watts output of the Model 61n.
I am currently using a dual turntable setup with a Pro-Ject Beatles Singles 'table via the MM (moving magnet) phono input and a Sony PS-LX3BT BlueTooth 'table via one of the 3 line-inputs. The Sony turntable has a switch for line-out use to make it easy for you to use if you are lacking a phono input or a separate phono pre-amp. The Marantz has both a phono input and 3 line level inputs! i am suing the optical/Toslink input on the Marantz Model 60n fro the CD60 and there is also a coaxial digital input. Both turntables play well with the Marantz Model 60n. To be honest, this Marantz is just what an audio enthusiast with a desire for a stereo component with superb build quality, a rich heritage and equally outstanding looks could hope for! I cannot recommend it enough other than to say I did not hesitate to order this from my local Best Buy once I had my mind made up on the Marantz I truly wanted and needed for home stereo! You can also use the E-ARC HDMI in/output for stereo and monophonic films and TV shows via your TV! Additionally, there is a standard size headphone jack on the right side of the front panel! Well done Marantz! This is another example of the Marantz Model 60n being just what a great many people actually need. Well done and again, highly recommended!

The TCL Z100 wireless surround sound speakers are built specifically for TCL TVs that feature Dolby Atmos FlexConnect in my case that would be the TCL QM9K 75" which is currently the finest TV I own. There is also a subwoofer but I have not yet bought that. I bought these with my own money from my local Best Buy and in short, with the right content and surround Codec (Dolby ATMOS) they are quite impressive.
I am a now retired Electronics Technician with a passion for audio and video and those two worlds happily collide in the realm of modern movies. I have long had a Denon AVR-X4300H bought in 2016 at my local Best Buy for our home theater. The 9.2 channel setup of consists of 9 speakers and 2 powered 8" subwoofers all wired into the Denon AVR. It is fantastic! I also own a Denon Home Soundbar paired with 2 Home 150s as wireless rear channels and a Denon Home powered subwoofer. When I got the TCL QM9K I knew my wife would want me to buy and try the companion Z100 speakers so I went to my local Best Buy and ordered up a pair!
Setup, which often takes about a half hour for best results with my Denon AVR took only a few minutes and is easily done via the controls and easy to follow instructions in the menu of the QMK series of TVs!
Did I just say setup takes minutes. That's it! Super fast and ridiculously easy.
I put on the 4K version of "Aquaman" and adjusted the TVs Volume to suit my taste. Per a quite web check, the TCL Z100 has the following in each speaker enclosure:
1 x Front-facing Dome Tweeter (silk membrane, 0.8 inches) for clear highs.
1 x Front-facing Midrange Driver (2 inches) for vocals and dialogue.
1 x Front/Down-firing Woofer (4 inches) dedicated to bass and low frequencies.
1 x Upward-firing Driver (angled at 15 degrees) specifically for overhead height
1 x Front-facing Midrange Driver (2 inches) for vocals and dialogue.
1 x Front/Down-firing Woofer (4 inches) dedicated to bass and low frequencies.
1 x Upward-firing Driver (angled at 15 degrees) specifically for overhead height
The results with the right film and volume settings are quite impressive! There was a LOT of rear channel sound coming from both the front firing and top/bottom firing Z100s in high action sequences of "Aquaman". "Predator" was equally fantastic as was "Troy" and many more. Is it as impressive as my 9.2 channel set up? In a word, no. But it is without a doubt far more impressive in that it takes up pretty much 95% of the room space as the more involving and bulky 9.2 channel system. My wife is also much happier because of the downsizing in our media room!
I have had a Dolby Surround setup since they first became available in the mid-80s and Dolby Atmos has been with me since 2016. The TCL Z100s are both a great gateway to a fully multi-channel system and if you are lacking the space they provide much of the affect you are looking for and in truth you can add the TCL 100 Subwoofer and 2 more TCL Z100 speakers to the QM9K TV or you can have 3 TCL Z100 speakers and skip the subwoofer for a total of 5 (!) wireless Z100 speakers!! I may give that a go at a later time by adding the Z100 powered Subwoofer!
Highly recommended? Indeed!

I have long been a Roomba owner having bought 7 of them for myself, family and friends over the years and all of them bought at Best Buy. I have tested and tried others and for me iRobot seems to be one of, if not the best robotic vacuums and auto mopping units available today. So when it came time to upgrade the upstairs vacuum and having recently tested and now own a Roomba iRobot 405 Combo taking good care of out downstairs area I decided on the Roomba iRobot 505 Combo 505 and I can say without hesitation that it is yet another homerun by the folks at Roomba!
The vacuuming power is...well...even more POWERFUL. The LiDAR (Light Detection And Radar) and front mounted camera both work just as outstanding as the ones on our Roomba 405 Combo and while I have yet to have the Roomba iRobot 505 Combo wash the bathroom tile and the wood floors of the hallway sections of our upstairs my experience to date with the 405 Combo we have downstairs is that it will do so superbly! My Roomba j7(7550) is still running superbly keeping my daughter's home clean and it is several years old and I regularly clean and replace brushes and have only done the battery once so I know Roomba makes a quality product! I am a retired Electronics Technician so I know the importance of preventative maintenance and every Roomba I have bought has been very easy to maintain, including replacement of air filters and the vacuum bags in the home station of self-emptying models. The new application is easy to use and I simply followed the instructions to add it to my system and it has been working without any problems so far and in my estimation I won't have any problems with it getting stuck anywhere due to the LiDAR and camera. There are also front sensors mounted on the bottom to detect stairs so it won't accidentally take a tumble and I have NEVER had a Roomba fall down the stairs in all the years I have owned them. They have been outstanding in every way for us!
Years ago my j7 model took well over an hour and half or so to map out our home's downstairs and about the same for the upstairs when I moved it there but with LiDAR the same mapping took only 10 or so minutes and the unit was back at home base waiting for me to send it on its maiden cleaning voyage! That is fantastic and while the 505 Combo has front bumpers for collision and mapping it rarely needs them, again thanks to the advanced LiDAR and the camera is there to monitor for cables or pet waste (poop!) and you can turn the camera off or on in the application or let it send you a photo of what it encounters during cleaning.
I do not take lightly writing a review and I can honestly recommend this iRobot Roomba 505 Combo for anyone wanting a quality, easy to use and reliable vacuum/mop.

I purchased this for my daughter to use in home schooling her children. She grew up using Apple computers and is very comfortable with them, as am I. She has owned and used a MacBook Pro that I bought for her several years ago but I thought it was time to get her something newer.
She is so very pleased with every aspect of this new MacBook Neo. She tells me that it is much, much faster than her old MacBook Pro (which she is keeping for her children to familiarize them with the Apple OS!). It takes very little time to boot up or shut down and the speed of the new processor is amazingly fast. The screen is also bright and displays artwork, lessons and pictures perfectly with her peripherals including their older printer that she uses for printing out lessons for her children!
All in all she says it is a fantastic computer and she is thrilled to have it!

I bought this because the original I had purchased a few years ago NEVER worked right. It kept losing the feature set for the selection buttons on my '11 Mustang and I would wind up having no climate controls, steering wheels controls and more things either non-operative or completely wrong for my vehicle.
The Install Team at Best Buy San Diego did great job installing setting up this and so far I have not had any problems.
They are excellent technicians and I can't recommend the enough and would gladly give them Five Stars for their professional work. Dylan deserves a special mention as he has been a great help to me with my car stereo over the last few years.

Samsung - Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G 512GB (Unlocked) - Phantom Black
Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G is crafted so you don~t need to choose between video and photo. With a single tap, you can pull super-clear stills straight from high-resolution 8K video. Or if you~re looking to capture stunning photos, the 108MP camera feels like you~ve brought your own professional studio with you. Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G, designed to be epic in every way.
Does Samsung in general and this model in particular work well with Android Auto? My Motorola Z3 Play is awful in this regard and I am thinking of returning to Apple because of that. Thanks!

Motorola - Edge 256GB (Unlocked) 2021 - Nebula Blue
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!

ASUS - Q507IQ 15.6" Touch-Screen Laptop - AMD Ryzen 7 - 8GB Memory - NVIDIA GeForce MX350 - 256GB SSD - Light Gray
Q507IQ-202.BL ASUS Laptop
My first version of this laptop was great with the exception of the touchscreen becoming non-op at random moments. Frustrating. So I returned it and got another one. Well...This one does the exact same thing. Is this an ASUS thing? Help please!

Does this reciver have a center speaker hook up??
Nope! It is 2.2 Stereo (meaning 2 channels and up to 2 powered subwoofers). For that (i.e., the center speaker) you would need to move up the Denon line to one of their excellent AVR models!

I just got this model but when I plug my DVD player to phono input the sound is distorted. Is there something wrong on it? The cd and the other input is fine but I have to turn up the volume every time.
The phono input is designed for the low output of a record player (not using a built-in phono-preamp!) so you should be using one of the HDMI inputs for your DVD player (it will be marked on the HDMI Inputs as "2 DVD").
Doing so will pass video and audio from your DVD to your DRA-800H and from there via the output to your TV. marked as ".Monitor"

Apple Watch Series 7 (GPS + Cellular) 45mm Midnight Aluminum Case with Midnight Sport Band - Midnight (Verizon) - (2021)
The largest, most advanced Always-on Retina display yet makes everything you do with your Apple Watch Series 7 bigger and better. Series 7 is the most durable Apple Watch ever built, with an even more crack-resistant front crystal. Advanced features let you measure your blood oxygen level,~ take an ECG anytime,~ and access mindfulness and sleep tracking apps. You can also track dozens of workouts, including new tai chi and pilates.
Does it connect to your current phone? or does it need its own line?
As it is marked as GPS + Cellular, it has the necessary hardware to have its own cellphone line. It just means you don't need to carry your iPhone with you to make a call via this watch. I have a GPS only Apple Watch and when the iPhone is nearby and connected via Wifi?Bluetooth I can answer the call via my watch. Kinda sorta like Dick Tracy's 2-Way wrist TV. Well...kinda. Not sorta. LOL!
Either version of this watch will serve you well. So far, I don't really miss not having a watch that is also a standalone cell phone as I have my iPhone with me most of the day. And yes. The extra phone line for the watch will cost your whatever you carrier charges for another line.

33-Lb. Portable Ice Maker
Only at Best BuyChill drinks at your next party with this Insignia portable ice maker. The compact design fits easily on the counter, while an included scoop and basket make it easy to fill drinks and empty leftover ice. With a freezing time of seven to 13 minutes, depending on cube size, this Insignia portable ice maker ensures you're never out of ice.
Is this portable Ice Maker easy to clean? We've had issues with a similar product in the past that made it not worth the hassle.
I have no clue if there is an official procedure but...When I am done for the day making my ice, I simply turn it off, unplug it and face the drain plug toward the sink, remove the cap and let it drain. I then dry out the easily reached areas and let it sit with the lid open for a couple of hours. That's it. It seems to work for me and I use mine a LOT.

iRobot - Roomba i7+ (7550) Wi-Fi Connected Self-Emptying Robot Vacuum - Charcoal
Vacuuming that fits seamlessly into your life. The i7+ learns your home and navigates to where the messes are, right when they happen~so you can effortlessly keep your floors clean. Just say to Google Assistant or Alexa voice assistant, ~Tell Roomba to clean under the kitchen table~ and consider it done. After each cleaning, the i7+ empties itself into Dirt Disposal bags that hold up to 60 days of debris so you can forget about vacuuming for months. Personalized cleaning recommendations and seasonal suggestions help keep floors clean year-round, and 10x the Power-Lifting suction* paired with self-emptying convenience help make life a whole lot easier.
Do you have to use Google Assistant or Alexa to operate this? Or is the Roomba app sufficient? Thanks
The Roomba App is more than sufficient. I really don't want or need (though others might!) Alexa or Hey Google to do this for me so...The Roomba Application is all you need to get this Roomba working! I can even tell both my Roombas (different models, one of which is about two or three years old now) to start cleaning remotely from my office. I simply select the Roomba app on my iPhone and tell the Roomba to start cleaning. It does so every time without fail and it does it via my cell (there is NO WiFi at my work) to my home. Roombas are my favorite robot vacuums!

Can you move the Roomba to another level in your home? Will it map out a second floor and keep multiple maps?
It should map out the new area and you can then name it 2nd Floor or whatever you choose. You would have to take the unit and physically place it there. It keeps multiple maps or at least for me it has. I suppose when charging time comes you will have to take it back downstairs or have moved the base to the second floor. I cannot recommend this Roomba enough. It has made life a little bit nicer for us! All the best!
