As a seasoned citizen getting closer and closer to being able to retire, I admit to wanting to downsize a bit. But, not in the case of quality.
Along with a pair of the HEOS5S2 speakers I bought a pair of these beauties. Setup was once again, easy and I replaced a massive pair of JBL towers and Martin Logan powered sub in a bedroom turned listening area with just ONE of these speakers.
Pandora? Check!
SiriusXM? Check!
Amazon Music Unlimited Ultra HD? Check!
The Great American Songbook
station out of the Netherlands? Check!
station out of the Netherlands? Check!
Music on my phone via either WiFI (preferred)
or Blootoof? Check!
or Blootoof? Check!
Music off any of my computers? Check!
A bazillion internet radio stations from around the world? Check!
And more! Don't have a Denon HEOS equipped AV Reciever (mine is the 4300 model!) ? Not a problem because each of the speakers in the HEOS family can be used as a standalone unit or grouped however you desire them to be via the easy to use HEOS application!
I am thoroughly pleased with both of my HEOS 7HS2 speakers and like all my Denon products, I highly recommend them.

...Are EXCELLENT!
Look. I am a big fan of internet radio and streaming music and I was all set buy some of the wonderful Bose Soundtouch series for my home, but...
..But I already own a Denon HEOS equipped AV Receiver and two HEOS 1 HS2 speakers. These 5 HS2 models are just as capable but with a superior compliment of powered drivers. The sound is most excellent and even more important, they don't upset my wife with their looks in the living room.
They play my Pandora, SiriusXM and a bunch of internet radios stations that cost nothing and add enjoyment to my life. I recently started a subscription to Amazon Music HD and Ultra HD and all the HEOS HS2 series are capable of playing these lossless files and I can attest that said files are reproduced via these HEOS speakers superbly!
So then...What more can you ask? Well for starters each speaker can be used alone or in a group. Each speaker doesn't need anything other than electricity and the app on your phone. I have a Denon HEOS equpped speaker but it is NOT required to use these speakers! That means you get the benefits of these excellent speakers as standalone units.
Yup. You can even play different stations on different speakers in different rooms at the same time. If you choose to play the same music to all speakers throughout your home they are all (in my case at least!) perfectly synchronized. No lag as it uses your WiFI not blootoof. But you can use blootoof if you want and it works just fine with the exception of possible lag when it's to more than one speaker at a time.
Setup was a bit time consuming but that was due to a problem connecting via bluetooth as the manual asks you to do, so I went the other route and connected directly to a wireless extender via Cat 6 cable and BAZINGA! Superb-A-Mundo! It really is that easy-peasy-macn-n-cheesy. I highly recommend these and all HEOS products.

I bought this for my brother and his wife as it is one of their favorite movies. I already have a copy and like me, they think the world of this film.
Two words - Cary Grant.
Skip the ridiculous remake, "The Preacher's Wife", that film can't hold a candle to the original and that in spite of what I heard is an excellent performance by Mr. Washington.
This film has great performances all around and the film exudes the Christmas spirit back when Hollyweird was still Hollywood. Highly recommended?

...I keep having to plug and unplug the USB to get the phone to work!
That may be a problem with the Maestro interface (and I have spoken with other Mustang owners that have not suffered this insufferable problem!) but I know it is not the phone as it works just fine with my Dodge Ram. I cannot call and it refuses to read text messages which does not happen with my Android Auto capable OEM radio in my Ram. It is very frustrating.
But otherwise, the unit is excellent! If anyone else has this problem and knows what the heck is going on, I hope to read it here. I am getting ready to return the unit and upgrade to a more expensive model just to get this problem to go away!
This phone problem is the ONLY reason I cannot recommend an otherwise great product. Maybe if I upgrade to a more expensive unit I will be able to use it as it is intended?! I like Kenwood but this radio is driving me nutso, LOL!

Because I have well over a thousand titles from the 1930s on to the present in a variety of formats from Laser Disc to VHS to S-VHS to DVD, Blu Ray and now UHD Blu Ray.
I have the 50th Anniversary Edition of this same film (from the universally regard year as the BEST for movies, 1939) on Laser Disc and this version is even better!
It used to be that the Wizard of Oz came on TV once a year and that night was so special that no matter where we were or what we were doing, our family would stop to watch this gorgeous classic. From the sepia toned opening to the gorgeous color appear when the door to her home opens onto Munchkin Land, this film does not nothing short of warm the heart and soul.
Buy it.

Look, there's not a lot to this review other than this little device takes the frustration out of my particular cell phone by allowing me to PLUG IN A PAIR OF WIRED headphones! :-)
One of the dumbest and more aggravating things to happen in the world of 'phones is the disappearance of the min-jack for wired headphones. Stupid but I get why they did it.
To annoy us.

This is just a fun film. It's escapist fantasy and if you go in realizing this, then it will be fun, fun, FUN! The picture and sound are quite good and the story and dialog or capable enough of keep you engaged. I liked it better than the two previous Hellboy films, both of which I own.

Samsung - Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G 512GB (Unlocked)
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!

This Sony BDP-S6700 Blu-ray player with 4K upscaling has built-in super Wi-Fi through MIMO. This lets you stream live from online services. Built-in Bluetooth and SongPal Link stream movies and music or connect your devices through HDMI, coaxial output, USB or Ethernet. This Sony Blu-ray player with 4K upscaling also offers child lock and parental controls.
I’m getting an error message stating that the BluRay and 3D BluRay discs I’m using are not compatible. I confirmed that they are Region A so could the issue be they I’m using a regular HDMI cable?
This is not a 3D capable player so it will not work on 3D discs. While there are bandwidth concerns for some 4K cables, I don't think this is a problem with Blu Ray discs. Of course I could be wrong and I have experienced problems with some Blu Ray and standard DVD where the player identifies the disc as unreadable and classifies it as a "CD-ROM". This upsets me no end as these discs worked fine in the past. If you wish to try a cable that is rated higher then you could purchase one meant for 4K data transfer rates (and NO! A fancy cable with really pretty connectors and the like is not needed, just the bandwidth transfer specs are) and see if it works but as this is a Blu Ray player that upscales to a faux 4K, that may not do a thing for you. I hope this helps.

I don't see why not, so yes! I have heard and bought cables with different ratings but this is a Blu Ray player that can "upscale" (think "Faroudja line doubling") to 4K. My brother reports no problems so far with his and he doesn't have any special cables that I am aware of. And yes, he would tell me. So then. This is a great player and should have no problems working with a standard HDMI cable. I hope this helps!

You may have to have BB hook up your XM Tuner (if possible) to the unit. If that cannot be done and you want to use that feature you can purchase an XM Tuner from BB and have it connected to the device and then have SiriusXM switch your account over to the new tuner's I.D.

Is this radio compatible with an IPhone XR? Also meaning, that I don't want to have to use an USB port to connect my phone. Thanks, any info will be GREATLY appreciated.
This particular unit does not have Bluetooth Android Auto/Apple CarPlay capabilities. you will have to upgrade to a different model, otherwise it works absolutely flawlessly for me with the Blootoof hooked up and the Apple cable pllugged into the USB-A port. Flawlessly.

Will it work with an apple phone
Yes! It works GREAT with my new iPhone SE and I had Android prior to that and Android Auto stunk with the two different phones I tried but CarPlay works flawlessly for me with this Kenwood and I would tell you otherwise. Like Superman said, I never lie.
At last... I am soooooooooooooooooo happy with my stereo now that I have the Applie iPhone SE and CarPlay!
