I have had SiriusXM for nearly 20 years now and this is the nicest tuner yet! I had the XmP3 for several years and it was the only portable with a battery that allowed me to take it on walks but I needed a larger display and easy station acces so I went for the Onkyx!
It has been superb and plays 24 hours a day for years now without any problems. I have it installed in the SiriuxXM "boombox" (it can be plugged in or run on batteries!) and cant take the music outdoors with ease. I also have a car kit with the antenna lead securely connected to the OEM satellite antenna on the room of my Mustang and it works great allowing me to have uninterrupted access to music in the middle of nowhere!
Highly recommend!

What started out as a tiny imperfection after installation has grown up. It is a big bubble now and I am hoping it can be "squeegeed" away!
Otherwise the protection is excellent. I have a physical handicap and so this shield has to live up to its rep. So far, so good!

I needed a new phone as I have a physical handicap and when I fell this time, I fell hard down some stairs and broke my Motorola Stylus which had been a great phone and my favorite Android so far. But...
I decided to return to fApple for this iPhone 14 and the excellent nigh on faultless way CarPlay works. Additionally, this iPhone 14 is much faster than any phone I have owned to date. I don't play games on my phone but I do send photos to family and friends and this iPhone 14 is, as I said, the fastest yet at this task.
I may have to go back in as the screen protector now has a large bubble under it whereas when they first installed it at BB it had a very tiny one. Frustrating and not the fault of the iPhone 14. Highly recommended/
Yup.

I now own and use ten of Denon's HEOS/Home series of wireless speakers. The newest versions are these Home 150 models and they are by far the easiest to set up and use.
They also have "buttons" on the top panel that makes it easy to have up to three presets assigned. So far I haven't the need but when I do it looks to be quite easy to do so.
These 150s can be used individually or as a stereo pair. It is also now possible to assign different models in the Home series (i.e., 150, 250 and 350) as stereo pairs. And it is EASY!
Denon's Application is very easy to use. I have it on iPhones, Android phones, iPads and an Amazon Tablet and it works superbly across those devices. My HEOS system allows me to play music from my Pandora, SiriusXM and Amazon Music UHD accounts with ease and I can send that music to my speakers or different services to different speakers. I can even wireless send my CD players music (a new Onkyo 6 disc player I bought here at BB!) or even my records!
Yup! I can send the output of my turntable to any speaker or speakers in our home, wirelessly. Denon's Home 150 speakers and their HEOS system is without a doubt the best I have experienced. I have given Denon and HEOS/Home 150s to my older brother and his wonderful wife. It really is easy and the sound is superb! And unlike some companies, to date all of Denon's HEOS speakers are backward COMPATIBLE for use with the newer Home series of speakers. Denon is my choice in home entertainment!
The new Home 150s are now a part of our home system and my brother and his wife's too! Trust me on this. I know what I'm doin' when I'm reviewin'.

I have owned one of these excellent CD players for a few years now and decided rather than buy a new singled disc player I would get this one.
Just like the one I have owned for years, this new Onkyo works superbly. It fits well in the new TV/Entertainment stand I also just bought from BB. It was easy to hook up and fill with discs and hit "RANDOM" and settle back with an icy cold "non-adult beverage"!
It also looks great! I cannot hear any difference unless a piece of equipment is so poorly made or defective and this Onkyo is not that. It is well made and relatively "heafty". I have a Sony 300 Disc player for about 10 years now and it too works great but when I get new CDs or just want to hear a favorite right away, this changer is my go to workhorse. Highly recommended?
Yup! How can anything built with such quality be anything but highly recommended? No complaints here!

This excellent stand took my son about 4.5 hours to assemble. I am a handicapable seasoned citizen and so it was too difficult for me and he was kind enough to do this.
The stand is great and my only reason for not giving it 5 stars is my stand had scrapes and discoloration/mottling on it and some of the hardware just would NOT easily fit.
It fits now but the box was undamaged but the stand was, as I said, scraped and just oddly/weirdly almost unacceptably scraped up.
It holds my Denon AVR-X4300 (bought at BB!) and my 400 disc BluRay changer and a new Klipsch center channel speaker (a gift from one of my brothers!) and a 55" Samsung CURVED(!) TV (also bought at BB!). And more to come.
I was considering up-sizing to a 70" curved TV but the largest sold at Best Buy is "only" a 65". I may give in but we shall see.
This unit is nice looking, very sturdy, somewhat difficult to assemble due to size but possible. Nothing was damaged buy us, we opened the box and my son began assembling it and as he went we noticed the scratches and markings and discoloration. It isn't the end of the world but I had my last stand for over 30 years and if this really bugs me I hope that I can exchange it within the 60 days I have.
If not, oh well. It would likely be a bigger pain in the buttocks to do that than to just turn a blind eyes as the saying goes.
Highly recomended? Yuppers! Especially at the wonderful sale price! Trust me. I know what I'm doin' when I'm reviewin'.

I had bought and tested out ANC 'phones from Sennheiser, Sony and Bose. The only ones I kept were the Bose QC 45s. I own a pair of Bose QC45s and I bought them new.
I had bought a pair of "refurbished" Momentum 3s and found them to be lacking. So several months later I am still happy with the QC45s but wanted to try an new pair of Momentum 3s as I had found their reproduction of music (a purely subjective preference) to be slightly better than the other 3 headphones including the QC45s.
So I ordered and picked up these Momentum 3s from BB. And I am glad I gave them another chance. The refurbies could not hold onto a Bluetooth signal at all. The newbies did much, much better but were still no match for the signal holding tenacity of the QC45s.
And again, their reproduction was subjectively as teensie-weensie bit better. The battery lasts fairly well but a bit less than the Bose but still more than adequate!
And they look a whole lot cooler than the new Momentum 4s.
So I am happily keeping them and highly recommend them to all! I do NOT buy junque either for myself or my family and friends. These are excellente'!

I have owned and used an earlier pair of Klipsch for over ten yearss now. And then I bought these...These are grrrrrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaT!
Their incredibly high efficiency rating means that they can play LOUD with a flea-watt amp but I m using 90 watts to play them and even that average amount of power is enough to make music and movies LOUD enough to wake and bake your listening area to LIFE!
Highs are NOT disturbingly pingy like some folk would claim all Klipsch do. And the bass? It is satisfying and percussive. Buy a pair for yourself and prepare to get HAPPY!
I listen to traditoinal Jazz and there is often a LOT of bass because they use real instruments among which more than a few produce superb, deeeep notes. Not that stooopid THUD of modern day poop music but acoustic BASS. No...Not the fish the notes.
And the also take an action flick and nick it up more than a notch or three. Buy a pair of these and as I said, be HAPPY!
Highly recommend-o-mundo indeed! Trust me. I know what I'm doin' when I'm reviewin'!

This is a fine watch with useful features. In that respect it is much like my Withings, which I also bought at Best Buy. I have worn both at the same time on either arm and compared their readings and initially found that the FitBit seems to count more steps than does my Withings. The same is true with calories burned. Hmmmm...
After a couple of weeks the FitBit seemed to "learn" my movements and began to come closer to the Withings, which I have owned and used a bit longer and even the sleep measurements are closer in their measurements now.
Pulse rate varies wildly with both watches and seems dependent upon the placement of the watch on your forearm/wrist. The FitBit has a Weather feature that is nice. Via the GPS on my Motorola phone (also purchased at Best Buy,,,A trend is beginning to show, LOL!) and will keep track of at least two geographical areas. Home and work or wherever I happen to go throughout my day. It was reading Celsius until I changed it in the Application on my phone.
I am very pleased with all aspects of the FitBit except the battery life which is roughly a week. Compared to the Withings 30 days, that is a bit weak but overall both watches have their + and - factors and are more than adequate for my needs and I think my needs are honest and reasonable: Accurate time and date, BPM pulse rate, calories burned and given my age (I am a seasoned citizen!), the ECG found on both watches.
You can also enter into the Application on your phone how much water you have drank throughout your day and there is an entry for food consumed. I have used the water feature but not the one for food. Perhaps one day but I tend to eat the same items every day and as such find it unnecessary.
The Exercise mode on the FitBit is quite useful and I primarily use the weight training feature as I have been a physical culturist (a healthy bodybuilder!) for decades now and it keeps track of my pulse, time training and steps. The goal for my pusle is 100 BPM and I rarely make that but it could be my heart is more efficient that some folks my age?
The charging cable is rather short so I will be looking for a longer one soon. Also, the FitBit and the Withings both seen to collect sweat and dirt on the underside of their bands and the watch body, so be certain to keep them clean as the backside of the watch is where the charging contacts are and they must have a clean surface to make a good connection. Both of these watches need that so this is not a negative, just a real world observation that should be noted!
All in all, I recommend the FitBit without reservation, As I said, I also have and to be honest, also recommend the Withings. Both are great at what they do and I expect that with time and technology advances, features will become more accurate and when they do so I will upgrade one or both watches to fit my wants and more importantly, my needs.
Trust me. I know what I'm doin' 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.

Dyson - TP02 Pure Cool Link Tower 800 Sq. Ft. Air Purifier - Iron, blue
Take a breath of fresh air with this Dyson Pure Cool air purifier. A dimming LED display and quiet operation make this purifier ideal for use in your bedroom, and the integrated fan delivers a burst of cool air on hot evenings. Created to remove 99.97 percent of allergens, this Dyson Pure Cool air purifier lets you breathe easy year-round.
 

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
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
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.

can i answer my phone on 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!
