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
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 for my big sister and she is THRILLED with it! She likes the incredibly bright, colorful and sharp picture and the sound is equally impressive.
This is the 4th 65" Hisense I have bought from Best Buy in the last year or so and I just bought a 5th one for my little sister!
Highly recommended?! YES! I bought the first one for myself and the other 4 for my family and friends! That should tell you how much I recommend Hisense!

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.

This newest HEOS acquisition is simply outstanding! I have bought over 25 HEOS equipped products for myself and family and friends and am thoroughly familiar with the quality of Denon and Marantz audio equipment and this Amp is another reminder of why I buy Denon and Marantz from Best Buy.
I have it hooked up to a pair of Klipsch towers that I bought a couple of years ago at Best Buy and a 10" powered sub. Outstanding performance and it does all that I need in the room I installed it in.
If you have wanted to experience the ease of use that is HEOS and the quality that is Denon but want to use your own passive speaker? Buy this little beauty and be prepared to be happily satisfied.
It doesn't take up any real room and neither ads nor detracts from its surroundings. It is unobtrusive but nicely styled and I have a Marantz CD60 hooked to it and that along with HEOS streaming Amazon Music HD, SiriusXM and Pandora along with a ton of Internet Stations (currently 70 presets in my HEOS system) like the Great American Songbook out of the Netherlands, you cannot go wrong.
The recent update to HEOS has made it all even easier to use and group rooms and speakers as your system grows and it will grow because of the ease and convenience of HEOS.
I am ready to buy another HEOS Home Amp but it appears they are out so I may well buy the Marantz version. Either way I know for fact (I have used HEOS since 2016) every product from Denon/Marantz that is a part of the HEOS line will work together!
Highly recommended. YES! Like I said, I not only own HEOS but have given HEOS speakers to a great many people, including a friend in her 80s and she just loves it. She listens to music from Italy as she speaks fluent Italian!

This was purchased as a present for my daughter as her iPad Mini was getting a bit long in the tooth.
I also gave one to her husband and of course I already bought one for me. That should tell you the level of confidence I have in Apple's iPad.
Like my own iPad, this one is (per my daughter) F A S T!! I also gave her the Apple Pen (Gen. 1) and she is using to teach her daughter to write!
My daughter is more than pleased with the performance, the applications that immediately transferred over from her old iPad Mini and the quality of the screen. And it is fast! Much faster than her iPad Mini was!
The battery lasts a very long time and she said it will go for several days and still have plenty of charge left. Because it is used by her daughter, I bought a cover for it. iPads are durable but a year old can test their limits so it is best to be safe!
As I said, I have bought 3 of these in the last six months and all from Best Buy! Trust me. I know what I'm doin' when I'm reviewin'!
Highly recommended? Yup!

I have long been a Dyson enthusiast. We have or have given as presents, multiple Dyson Air purifiers, upright vacuums and Cordless vacuums to family and friends. They are all quality built machines that work year in and out to help you keep your home clean!

This Dyson V8 is the newest edition to our family cleaning arsenal and per my wife it is wonderful!
I use a Dyson V11 upstairs but my wife wanted a lighter version so I go her the Dyson V8 for use downstairs and on the stairs! It is used primarily for quick pickups and for keeping the staircase clean and it does all of that with ease.
Powerful? Yup!
Light and easy to manage? Yup!
Did I mention how powerful it is? It really is! And the attachments make clean so much easier, believe me.
I cannot sing the praises of Dyson's V8 enough. My wife is happy and that is important to me!
Thank you!

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!

Is Apple CarPlay any more reliable that Android Auto? Primary use is as a phone but when in my vehicles I use Android Auto for music and that app seems VERY "buggy", including connection problems out the wazoo! I have just about had it! Thx!

Roku - Ultra 4K Streaming Media Player with JBL Headphones and Enhanced Voice Remote - Black
Watch free or paid content over the Internet in 4K resolution with this Roku Ultra TV streaming player. The dual-band channel supports wireless streaming, while the enhanced voice remote enables hands-free operation and lets you create personal shortcut buttons. This Roku Ultra HD TV streaming player includes JBL headphones to enjoy your content privately and an Ethernet port for a wired connection.
 

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?

Is amazon music icon available or can I only use Amazon music through Bluetooth?

I have Pandora Plus, SiriusXM and Amazon Music Unlimited Ultra HD on my iPhone (and previously on my Android phone) and the icons show up fpr me and I have no problem playing any of those services on my Kenwood unit via CarPlay. It works great!

I hook the phone up to Blootoof and attach the Apple cable to my phone (it is plugged into the Kenwood via a USB-A cable) and BAZINGA! I have access to the aforementioned services via CarPlay.

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.

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!

I put the SIM from my unlocked Motorola Z3 Play into the iPhone SE (2nd Gen) and it works great. It was so easy even I could do it.

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.
