Poor connectivity issues (even after firmware updates) and ridiculously useless "touch controls" made these without much merit in my eyes and ears.
They could not hold a connection while my older Sony MDR XB950N1s worked as always, i.e., flawlessly. This was also evident in my test of the Sennheiser PXC 550iis and their Momentum 3 ANC headphones.
I was not willing to keep hoping these would work. Their noise cancelling was not up to the XB950s abilities either. I may have gotten a bad seed but I was not willing to keep returning and trying another pair, so...Back they went. Others have a different experience.
This is mine. Not theirs. ;-) No recommended by me at this moment in time.
I settled on the Bose QC45s as the keepers of my recent ANC headphone comparison and alternate between those and my excellent Sony XB950s! The Bose are better than the XM4s but so too are my Sony XB950s.

I recently tested several pair of ANC Headphones. The Sony WH-1000XM4s and the Sennheiser Momentum 3s and PXC 550iis,
I was thoroughly disappointed in all three of those models. They all displayed broken connectivity via BlooToof 5, continually dropping the signal entirely or stuttering connectivity that made it sound like it was 1955. Their noise cancelling was nothing to write home about and I was none too happy with that (or the poor connectivity for that matter!). Additionally, the touch controls of these headphones are nothing but fluff and nonsense. In the real world tactile buttons are much better. Familiarity does not breed contempt, it ensures COMFORT. There is SPACE aplenty on each of these 'phones to have had real buttons that you can use but apparently these manufacturers wanted to be "cutting edge". No thanks.
I have a pair of Sony XB950N1 that are vastly superior in connectivity and noise cancelling to all three of the models I just mentioned. They have easy to locate and use buttons too. And yes, I did any firmware updates that each 'phone recommended. The Sony WH-1000XM4 update was useless. And then...
...I bought the Bose QC45s. They work. They work as advertised. No problems before or after firmware updates. Their app works just fine too and works with my Bose Soundware Companions and my Bose Tempo Frames too!
The QC45s have the best ANC available bar none. They have zero BlooToof connectivity issues (YES!) and they have real buttons! I have seen reviews where the person claims that the WM4s will block out a lawnmower. Pfffffft! That is a canard if ever there were one. None of these headphones will do that. I tested them with our Dyson V7 Animal vacuum and the remove the sound of the power head quite well but the motor itself can still be heard. The QC45 is better but you can still hear the vacuum motor. I can still easily hear my music when vacuuming but am more than aware a vacuum is running. LOL!
Not a big deal and if it is to you, then you don't want headphones you want stickem-in-your-ear-plugs, LOL! Listen to music when you are done vacuuming.
The QC45 is excellent when compared to anything else currently on the market. They have real buttons (easy to find and use!), are beautiful to look at, feel and look like what they are, i.e., a QUALITY product made to last and reproduce music superbly with or without the ANC on. I do NOT require 57 levels of noise reduction. On or offf is just fine. The aware mode on the QC45s does just that. It allows you to be more aware of what is going on around you. I did not use the voice assistant as I can touch the screen on my cell phone, DAP (Digital Audio Player) or Grace Digital Link (the finest internet "streamer" available and the most affordable too!) to make my selection(s).
I cannot think of a viable or reasonable reason any sane (read: NOT a frAudiophile or audiofool, LOL!) would not think (as opposed to "feeeeeel") the Bose QC45s are not an excellent, quality product worthy of one's own hard earned money. Highly recommended? You betcha!

Yes, you read correct-o-mundo! These knives are excellent! I bought two sets, one for my brother and his wife and one for myself. Decades ago my brother used to work for Cutco and he told me that these knives are at least the equal of those he sold back then.
Highly recommended? Yup!

I had this for awhile and one day they all just died. I bought a more expensive an powerful version and to be honest, it ain't all that great compared to this version.
It finally gave up the ghost and of course I had the BB Extended Warranty and upgraded to a new level of Linksys Frustration!!!! LOL!
So...I kind don't but do recommend this. Maybe. Maybe not.

For those that feeeeeeeeeeeeel I am too much of a schmoozer in my reviews, here's this.
This device is not all that great. It needs constant babysitting and rebooting. Even the previous version I had was slightly better. It goes down frequently and HARD.
And this is why I ALWAYS purchase a BB protection/replacement plan. If the Linksys Folks would care to proffer their thoughts on my "when it works, it works only fair but when it doesn't work that is pretty much half the time so I am grateful even for when it does work wireless router".
I am BB Elite Plus and I gave this device past my 45 day return window to give it a chance. Never again because now I would have to use my Extended Warranty to replace it and I would NOT replace it with the same model.
Unless Linksys Folks can explain what they think might be going on with it. It just drops out. Computers, wireless speakers, you name it. My Heos speaker system constantly loses communication and when the router comes back online I have to manually set them ALL UP AGAIN via Cat5 cable. This upsets me no end.
Trust me. I know what I'm doin' when I'm reviewin'.

And as is always the case with me, I do NOT purchase junque for either family or friends. This was purchased to replace an ancient HP laptop that would take several minutes to boot up and even more to logon and check email.
It is a Chromebook.
It is quite speedy not only compared to her old laptop but to other tablets I have purchased over the last few years.
My friend is soooooooooooooooo happy with her Chromebook! She likes the speed, the ability to add storage via a MicroSD (I have alreadyinstalled a 64 gig card for her!) and the picture and sound are worlds ahead of her old HP.

She can watch a film on it with ease. She can listen to her Pandora station on it too. With ease!
So then...Do I recommend this little device? As Ralph Malph and Pottsie Weber might say, "Yowsah! Yowsah! Yowsah!"

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!

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!

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!
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!!!!

Does the iPhone SE (2020 - 2nd generation) have the infamous notch?
No.
I have NOT seen a "notch" infamous or otherwise. The phone works and looks just fine.

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.
