As a seasoned citizen getting closer and closer to being able to retire, I admit to wanting to downsize a bit. But, not in the case of quality.
Along with a pair of the HEOS5S2 speakers I bought a pair of these beauties. Setup was once again, easy and I replaced a massive pair of JBL towers and Martin Logan powered sub in a bedroom turned listening area with just ONE of these speakers.
Pandora? Check!
SiriusXM? Check!
Amazon Music Unlimited Ultra HD? Check!
The Great American Songbook
station out of the Netherlands? Check!
station out of the Netherlands? Check!
Music on my phone via either WiFI (preferred)
or Blootoof? Check!
or Blootoof? Check!
Music off any of my computers? Check!
A bazillion internet radio stations from around the world? Check!
And more! Don't have a Denon HEOS equipped AV Reciever (mine is the 4300 model!) ? Not a problem because each of the speakers in the HEOS family can be used as a standalone unit or grouped however you desire them to be via the easy to use HEOS application!
I am thoroughly pleased with both of my HEOS 7HS2 speakers and like all my Denon products, I highly recommend them.

...Are EXCELLENT!
Look. I am a big fan of internet radio and streaming music and I was all set buy some of the wonderful Bose Soundtouch series for my home, but...
..But I already own a Denon HEOS equipped AV Receiver and two HEOS 1 HS2 speakers. These 5 HS2 models are just as capable but with a superior compliment of powered drivers. The sound is most excellent and even more important, they don't upset my wife with their looks in the living room.
They play my Pandora, SiriusXM and a bunch of internet radios stations that cost nothing and add enjoyment to my life. I recently started a subscription to Amazon Music HD and Ultra HD and all the HEOS HS2 series are capable of playing these lossless files and I can attest that said files are reproduced via these HEOS speakers superbly!
So then...What more can you ask? Well for starters each speaker can be used alone or in a group. Each speaker doesn't need anything other than electricity and the app on your phone. I have a Denon HEOS equpped speaker but it is NOT required to use these speakers! That means you get the benefits of these excellent speakers as standalone units.
Yup. You can even play different stations on different speakers in different rooms at the same time. If you choose to play the same music to all speakers throughout your home they are all (in my case at least!) perfectly synchronized. No lag as it uses your WiFI not blootoof. But you can use blootoof if you want and it works just fine with the exception of possible lag when it's to more than one speaker at a time.
Setup was a bit time consuming but that was due to a problem connecting via bluetooth as the manual asks you to do, so I went the other route and connected directly to a wireless extender via Cat 6 cable and BAZINGA! Superb-A-Mundo! It really is that easy-peasy-macn-n-cheesy. I highly recommend these and all HEOS products.

I bought this for my brother and his wife as it is one of their favorite movies. I already have a copy and like me, they think the world of this film.
Two words - Cary Grant.
Skip the ridiculous remake, "The Preacher's Wife", that film can't hold a candle to the original and that in spite of what I heard is an excellent performance by Mr. Washington.
This film has great performances all around and the film exudes the Christmas spirit back when Hollyweird was still Hollywood. Highly recommended?
You betcha.

It was beautifully installed but the viewing angle is RIDICULOUSLY W I D E!!!!
This pretty much makes it useless except for checking cross traffic but everything and everyone is shown as being waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay far away. Perceived depth is horrid.

...I keep having to plug and unplug the USB to get the phone to work!
That may be a problem with the Maestro interface (and I have spoken with other Mustang owners that have not suffered this insufferable problem!) but I know it is not the phone as it works just fine with my Dodge Ram. I cannot call and it refuses to read text messages which does not happen with my Android Auto capable OEM radio in my Ram. It is very frustrating.
But otherwise, the unit is excellent! If anyone else has this problem and knows what the heck is going on, I hope to read it here. I am getting ready to return the unit and upgrade to a more expensive model just to get this problem to go away!
This phone problem is the ONLY reason I cannot recommend an otherwise great product. Maybe if I upgrade to a more expensive unit I will be able to use it as it is intended?! I like Kenwood but this radio is driving me nutso, LOL!

Because I have well over a thousand titles from the 1930s on to the present in a variety of formats from Laser Disc to VHS to S-VHS to DVD, Blu Ray and now UHD Blu Ray.
I have the 50th Anniversary Edition of this same film (from the universally regard year as the BEST for movies, 1939) on Laser Disc and this version is even better!
It used to be that the Wizard of Oz came on TV once a year and that night was so special that no matter where we were or what we were doing, our family would stop to watch this gorgeous classic. From the sepia toned opening to the gorgeous color appear when the door to her home opens onto Munchkin Land, this film does not nothing short of warm the heart and soul.
Buy it.

Look, there's not a lot to this review other than this little device takes the frustration out of my particular cell phone by allowing me to PLUG IN A PAIR OF WIRED headphones! :-)
One of the dumbest and more aggravating things to happen in the world of 'phones is the disappearance of the min-jack for wired headphones. Stupid but I get why they did it.
To annoy us.

Does my Total Tech cover me returning this TV or not? I just reset it to wipe out my streaming services. I give up. Hisense has not done squat for me. I am still a fan of Best Buy, just not this TV.

My TV has a horrid "mosaic" affect on deep blacks that cannot be adjusted away. Also, this new TV "communicates" with my Denon AVR and turns on the AVR and starts turning on media players like Blu Ray and UHD Disc players. I hate this!!! HELP!!!!!

To the Kenwood exper - I have an appointment with BB Car Installation on Jan. 11, 2020. I went there last weekend and the problem persisted in front of three technicians so hopefully they will just install a new unit that works. My phone works just fine in my 2018 Dodge Ram with Android Auto so I too think it is a faulty radio. Thanks for taking the time to answer.

Where is the serial number on the ACC1200?
It should be located on a sticker on the unit. Said sticker should also have the password and the MAC address on there. Just make certain to look for "Serial No.", "SN" or some such identifying nomenclature. Hope this helps! Thx!

Would it be beneficial to use more than one extender? What if I were to put a couple upstairs and a couple more downstairs?
I myself use two of these at different locations of our home. They work great and as I said in answering another question, if you have a device that is not WiFi capable but it has an RJ45 input jack, you can simply run a Cat5 or Cat6 cable directly from one of the RJ45 output jacks on the extender to the device and it will work just fine! All the best!

Will this help extend the signal for all my ring cameras
If you search for this particular extender and then enter the password it should do just what you need. Remember to look for the name of your original WiFi router with an _2GEXT or an _5GEXT after it. If your device sees both, choose the one with the best signal strength accordingly matched to everything else in your setup.

Can this handle the new fiber 200gb speed internet i have from metronet
I don't have the specs in front of me but I think the unit is "only" Gigbit capable. My fastest is a mere 400 to 500 mbps via wireless. It's more than sufficient for me but your needs may require more. :-) If you need 200 megabits per second vs 200 gigabits per second (it may have been a typo on your part?) you should be fine with this extender.

I have everything hooked up, the green light is on the Netgear device. However, when I now go to my laptop to connect the wifi, it doesn't except the password that I use for my original wifi (Belkin) router. So, what am I to enter as the password?
If you have a 2.5 and 5 gig system make certain both indicator lights are green. No then, if you are using your original (Belkin) wireless router and haven't changed that password, it should still work. Check that router to see if you are using the right password (it's usually on the side or bottom of the router) as I have often forgotten it and had to go back and look to make certain I was entering it correctly. Another thing you can do if whatever you are trying to connect is close to the new Netgear device is to simply hardwire it via a short Cat5 or Cat6 cable via one of the ports on the Netgear to the network RJ45 input (provided said device has one) on the device you want to join your network. That's just one reason I bought this Netgear extender, because not all my stuff is wireless and this extended allows me to run a Cat5/6 right to such devices. . I did this with one of my devices and it works great! All the best!

Bose - SoundWear™ Companion® Sweat and Water Resistant Cover - Blue
Don't worry about a little rain, dust or a lot of sun. Both the Bose SoundWear Companion wearable speaker and the high-quality speaker cover are sweat- and weather-resistant, so moisture won't sneak through and dust won't stick to it. And the cover is four-way stretchable, so it fits the speaker snugly.
How long does the charge last.
For me and my brother, sister-in-law and my son, about 10 to 12 hours. So far. Sweet!

Bose - SoundWear Companion Wireless Wearable Speaker - Black
Wearable and comfortable, with deep, clear sound. The SoundWear Companion speaker is designed to keep you connected to your music, calls, and the world around you. It's packed with technologies that give you immersive experience while limiting what others can hear. Use it for clear, natural-sounding phone calls, or accessing your phone's Siri or your Google Assistant. Up to 12 hours per charge.
Does it support aptx-LL??? What version of Bluetooth is used? I can't find that info anywhere...
I don't believe so but if you believe you can tell the difference in the various variations of Bluetoof then you've got better ears than me! In all honesty, I think, not feel, these 'phones do an excellent job of reproducing music. I listen to a lot of music and these do not wear me out like some 'phones are prone to do. If that variant of Bluetoof is important to you, double check with Bose my friend! Good luck and all the best!

Hello, has anyone used them in the gym? Please opinions.
Yup. I just tuck 'em under my t-shirt and keep the volume low. So far, so great. Good luck!

I am very small. Will this Soundware companion be comfortable and can I lie down with it on to listen in bed?
I don't wear mine in bed but a friend and co-worker has done so and says he felt no discomfort. His neck is probably on the small side. Mine is around 19" or so but the Bose²® Soundwear Companion™ fits me well and is comfortable enough for me to wear for several hours. I just haven't fallen asleep with it on. Yet. ;-)
