I usually buy the lenses that do not have ear supports and come with a small hard case but decided those are for work/travel I would try these for at home use.
I am glad I did.
They work great and while the other ones I mentioned don't usually slip off, these have yet to do so.
They are comfortable and as I said, they work great. Highly recommended!

I bought this because the microwave we got from Best Buy over ten years ago(!) finally gave up the ghost. That unit worked great and while it was an above range model and larger, this new microwave is even better!
When it comes time to upgrade all of our kitchen's major appliances, this G.E. will still be used upstairs to heat up soup or leftovers and pop some popcorn while watching a movie.
This microwave just plain works GREAT! Highly recommended? Indeed!

Upon setting up this AVR for the first time the main thing that struck me was how WIMPY the phono stage output was. I say "was" because I discovered how to fix that annoying problem.
BEHOLD!
1) Select your input. In this case "Phono".
2) Now select "Setup".
3) Now select "Inputs".
4) Now select "Source Level".
5) Adjust level via remote for up to 12db of gain.
Exit. Repeat if you wish another input selection to have its level increased or decreased. Each input MUST be selected on the remote and shown on the receiver display prior to making the other selections I have outlined above. It is individual for each input. I raised my Phono all the way and now it works a whole LOT better!
I bought this because SiriusXM in their ignorant "wisdom" have chosen not to support the Pioneer Elite SX-N30 I have owned for several years now and I was looking at the Denon DRA-800H but it was a bit overpriced for what you get and so for $200 less...I bought the Denon AVR-S660H.
Outside of less power, it does have 5 channels of said power vs the 800H having 2. Otherwise, they seem equally matched feature-wise. I own a Denon AVR-X4300H and that is an excellent 9.2 system that I primarily use for movies and music. This 660 is currently running at 2.1 channels and I will be installing a very nice Klipsch center channel speaker soon.
But...Back to what I think of the 660. I think, not feeeeeeeeel that it is an excellent value and a fine performer. Once I found out how to fix the terrible phono output (with no help from "AHEM!" anyone else, I can now heartily recommend this device to any and all that want primarily stereo for music and are fine with up to 5.2 channels for film.
It doesn't disappoint believe me. It DELIVERS. I have been running it for several days now, 24 hours a day, non-stop with vinyl, with CD and with the wonder that is HEOS providing me with Pandora, Amazon UHD and SiriusXM along with my favorite internet station out of the Netherlands, "The Great American Songbook" station and this receiver works superbly!
My JBL 4-Way towers have a sensitivity rating of 91db and the work just fine with this new Denon! In truth, my only disappontment was with the phono section and now that that has been rectified, I have zero complaints and can 100% recommend the AVR-S660H.
I forwarded my findings on the phono stage to Denon and they are looking at (hopefully) updating the manual that comes with the unit to include my solution to the problem.
Now then. The BEST part of this Denon is HEOS. I have 10 HEOS speakers throughout our home and via the 660H or my 4300H, I can send internet radio, Amazon UHD, Pandora, SiriusXM my CD collection and even my VINYL throughout my entire home via WiFi!
It just flat works and I have tried Bose, Sonos and Bluesound but for my hard earned money, HEOS is the best there is bar none! The app for Android and iOS work on superbly on our phones. They also work on our iPads. And our Amazon Fire Tablet 10.
They just flat out WORK. They are transparent and neither add to nor take away from your music. They are there to provide access and control of your music and the do so with ease.
Highly recommended? Yup! HEOS is ex cellent. Home Entertainment Operating System...HEOS. I can play my over 500 CDs via one of my 300 and 200 disc Sony CD changers via HEOS to any room in our home that has a HEOS wireless speaker in it. And I do.
I can play my records in any room over WiFi via HEOS. Any station on Pandora, Amazon UHD, SiriusXM whatever station I choose from the literally thousands available on the internet. HEOS does that and does it easily.
I recommend Denon, Marantz and HEOS without hesitation or reservation. When it comes time to send my brother and his wonderful wife a Christmas present, you can bet it will have HEOS in it and be from Denon or Marantz. I trust those two brands completely. And speaking of "trust"...
...Trust me. I know what I'm doin' when I'm reviewin'.

This was bought for my daughter and her husband. I gave them a Samsung TV a year or so ago (from Best Buy) and now it was time to upgrade from the tinny tiny speakers.
Stock audio was insufficient enough that my wife, who watch her grandchildre there) complained about it.
No more complaints! None! They are all very pleased and that is exactly what a gift should do. Make someone happy! It was soooo easy to install that they really didn't need me but I am happy to help out!
Highly recommended? Without hesitation!

I lost my iPhone SE when my OtterBox belt clip snapped and the iPhone went tumbling down the road. I had the insurance but alas, Apple and Best Buy said if I could not produce busted pieces then I was out of luck.
So then, what to do. I returned to Android. I had a Motorola Z3 Play that worked fine with the exception of the only feature outside of it being a phone that mattered to me. It stunk on Android Auto.
I asked about Motorola cell phones and Android Auto and no one could or perhaps would, answer me openly. So I bought this phone. I am thrilled it has a headphone jack! I am happy it also has 256 gig of built in memory and a MicroSD slot! But more than anything else, once I discovered a particular setting for Android Auto, it seems to actually work with Android Auto!
I simply went into AA settings and once I had joined my two vehicles and turned off the setting to seek out and join more new vehicles. And...It works nearly without flaws!
Not quite as good as fApple Carplay but it also does things Carplay does not. If the AC is on and a call comes in and I answer, the fan speed is turned down automatically. It plays Amazon Music Ultra HD, Pandora Premium (Family Plan!) and SiriusXM superbly!
It can still become "confused" but that has only happed twice since I discovered the magical setting in AA. The phone works just fine as a phone and the batter will last at least two days, so I've got that goin' for me...Which is nice.
I do have a bit of difficulty with the whole "swipe right/left" thing but that is likely my fault and not that of the phone. I have yet to use the included stylus but it's there if I want or need to. There is not a ton of (UGH!) bloatware and I have begun to delete stuff I find annoyingly useless/vapid. I have downloaded an Onkyo Music Player app and put a 128 gig MicroSD in the phone to put a few thousand songs on that I reeeeeeeeeeeeeeally like!
Calls are excellent. I speak with my mother and sister every day on my way home from work and the phone is a pleasure to use in that capacity. And when I am done speaking with my family I turn the music back on to ease my sluggish drive through SoCal traffic! This is an excellent phone and not just for the money. As I said, it has a headphone jack and a stylus and a MicroSD slot! How many "high"/"rear" end phones on either side of the Android/fApple fence can boast that?!
I am so very please with this purchase and if that were to change I would change my review but so far, I am as I said, very PLEASED!
And I think, not feeeeeeeeeeeeel, you will be too. The phone is superb and does all that I want a phone to do. Work as a phone and as a music playback device in my car or truck. Highly recommended?
Yuppers!

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!

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!

I am the person that asked this question and now that i have bought the iPhone SE and have used CarPlay in my Dodge Ram I shall answer it as no one else appears to ha e been able to do so.
Yes. CarPlay and this new 2nd Gen iPhone SE works a whole lot BETTER than does Android Auto and my Motorola Z3 Play. Yippeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!

Is this a fan also? Or just a air purifier.
It's a fan. It's a filter! It's a...a...Fanilter!
Yes, it is both in one. It's two! Two! TWO devices in ONE! It works fantastico and I have no regrets in buying or recommending it to anyone. If you want a more powerful fan, look elsewhere but if you NEED a :"FANILTER", look no further. All the best to you!

Denon - HEOS 5 HS2 Wireless Speaker - Black
Listen to your favorite music with the Denon HEOS 5 speaker. Inside are two custom-designed tweeters, a passive radiator and two mid-woofers, delivering a hi-fi-audio experience. The singular form and handle let you transport it anywhere with ease, and the Denon HEOS 5 speaker wirelessly streams music from your phone, tablet, cloud, USB and NAS.
Why are these so cheap all of the sudden? Are they going to be discontinued/end of life now that the Denon Home is out?
Per Denon they will be discontinued but still supported and will work with the new "Home" series and all Heos related products. I asked Denon and that is what they told me.

Marshall - Stanmore II Voice Wireless Speaker with Amazon Alexa Voice Assistant - Black
Experience a new dimension of music with this Zound Industries smart speaker. The built-in Amazon Alexa feature lets you change songs without lifting a finger. This Zound Industries smart speaker has two 15W amplifiers for powerful, clear sound and a far-field microphone array to recognize commands from across the room.
Is the Alexa in the device or do you need an Alexa device to go with it?
I just asked "Alexa" via this Marshall speaker to play Harry Belafonte's "Dance Senora" and it did so! So I think all you need do is ask and so long as it is available, it shall be played. At least that's my experience so far. ;-)

Do I need any other hardware to use with SiriusXM? Does it have the satellite tuner built in?
Not it doesn't have a built-in SiriusXM tuner. You can buy one and have it installed at the same time. I just use my portable with a dock and it's hooked to an input on the unit. That or use the SiriusXM Android App on your phone if you have it.

Maybe. Maybe not. Mine sometimes works (rare) but usually doesn't. Very fristrating but now I am told it may be because I have a Motorola Android Phone.

I just bought one today and it goes back tomorrow and all because it DEMANDS that I enter a credit card number and PII, Personally Identifiable Information. Why is this necessary to register and use a Roku or any device for that matter?
Apparently Roku ain't talkin'. I gave the device a single star and would give it zero if I could. It goes back today because I can't find out anything about how to get around Roku's insistence I provide them with PII and credit card info that they have no need for. I got it yesterday for $30 off but I don't care. It is not going in my home. Hey Roku....You can keep it. Pfffffffffftttt!
