Oooookaaaaaaaay...These are water filters. How exciting can that be? Not very.
But they work and they work well and I have used them in the past and will continue to do so. It's too bad they're not capable of curing "stupid", otherwise I would be a genius! But again, they work and they work well.
One cannot ask for more than that from a water filter. Well...You could but you wouldn't get anything more.

Actually, not a thing. The phone is an excellent PHONE. Does it play stupid videos? Yup, but outside of testing that capability I would never play a stupid video on a PHONE. Why? Cuz it's a PHONE and I have a 55" UHD-HDR curved screen TV for movies. Why in the name of all that is normal would I choose to watch something on a PHONE over such a nice TV? Answer: I would not. Because I am an ADULT. ;-)
But...It can and will play a wide variety of music services including the 14,000+ songs I have a MicroSD card. But...Yeah, everyone has a big but so it's once again time for my big but...I have SiriusXM, Pandora and Amazon Music Unlimited and it handles those with ease. 32 gig of memory and a fast enough processor makes it, well...fast enough!
I have a lifetime subscription to SiriusXM on a Pioneer Mp3 SiriusXM portable player I bought from Best Buy years ago, so if I forget to bring it along or I also forgot my iPod or one of my other Digital Audio Players (DAP) I can use my PHONE. But I try not to.
Above all that it is a very good PHONE. If it were not, I would not have bought it. Why? Because I needed a new PHONE!

I am an avid film collector and have over 1,000 movies on VHS, SVHS, Laser Disc, DVD, BluRay and now UHD BluRay. This latest Ant-Man and the Wasp is well done with enough humor (Michael Pena!) and action to satisfy most anyone. I only buy films I am CERTAIN I will watch more than a couple of times and that's why I bought this one! Highly recommended!

As with many second effort films, this one is not as good as the first in the rebirth of this series. But it is still worthy my hard earned money.
I think the ending is rather lame. There. I said it. L A M E, lame. What is it Deadpool says in DP2? "That's just lazy writing". The special effects are up to the task and the actors and actresses (see...I know the women are really called ACTRESSES!) are too.
I so enjoyed the first film in this reboot that I bought this one too and I really don't have an regrets. It's good. Not great. Good. And nothing is wrong with good. I recommend it for a nice rainy day (or evening) filled with thunder and lighting and a good hard shower.

Excellent picture and wonderful sound! Throw in a good story line and very good to excellent acting based around an even better first film (Sicario) and you've got "Sicario - Day of the Soldado".
The ONLY reason I didn't give this 5 stars is it is not as good as the first film. I only purchase films I KNOW I will watch more than 50 times (LOL!) and this is one of 'em! Highly recommended!

I tried the excellent Insignia GoogliegIRL speakers. Nice but I hate talking to GooglieGirl. I tried Amazon's Alexa speakers. Not as nice as the Insignia GooglieGirl speakers and I don't like talking to Alexa.
I have a Denon AV Receiver I got at BB with Heos built in. Guess what?
These little speakerettes are fantastico! No need to be hoping some A.I. female voice will recognize my voice and play my music, I pick what I what and send it where I want it. No regrets! No if onlys? No buyer's remorse! No kidding. These are superdedoooper!
These are excellent speakers and I am going to be getting at least two more in the future. Highly recommend! Trust me. I know what I'm doing when I'm reviewin'!

The Pioneer GM-DX874 four-channel amplifier will deliver up to 150 watts RMS to each of your front and rear speakers for powerful music. Highly efficient Class D technology keeps this powerful amp running as cool as it looks, and allows for a compact chassis that fits in a lot of out of the way spaces. The frequency response of this amplifier stretches up to 50,000 Hz, for Hi-Res Audio Certified playback. Pioneer uses high-grade electronic parts and gold-plated RCA connections to ensure maximum performance. Speaker-level inputs allow you to install this amp in a factory system with no RCA connections. The amplifier switches its input mode automatically when it detects the high-level signal, eliminating the need to run a turn-on lead to your receiver or fuse box. Built-in high- and low-pass filters let you adjust the sound for your vehicle's interior, whether you're driving speakers or subs.
 

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.

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!

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.

Can I use a regular HDMI cable with this unit?

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!

I already have XM Radio, do I need to buy a new receiver?

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.

I have this Kenwood in my Mustang and I had them hook the XM roof antenna up with a pigtail to my portable SiriusXM player's cradle (connected to a spare input) and BAZINGA! It works great. I can also use my streaming account via my iPhone if I so choose but out n the middle of the Arizona desert I don't always have a 4G signal to stream music but I always have my SiriusXM satellite signal.

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.

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!
