 Bose - SoundWear Companion Sweat and Water Resistant Cover - Blue
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.
 
It's Blue without the Meanie part! (Get it?)

It's blue. It's a blue cover for my Bose® Soundwear Companion™ 'phones,
Looks good. I use it when I am cleaning the black one. Sweetness made into a cover.
It's a nice blue cover. What is not to like, unless of course you don't like blue? Would that make you a "Blue Meanie"? ;-)
I recommend it. Trust me...I know what I'm doin' when I'm reviewin'.

I still despise talking to "Alexa". The sound is quite good and I primarily listen to Sinatra, Mathis, the Beatles, etc. The picture quality is fine and I am hoping to use this as a monitoring station for home security video.
I do recommend it. I just loath talking to "Alexa". Never liked doing that and never will. Ease of use is only four stars because of "Alexa". GAAAAACK!!!!

Yup. Four. I gave three of them as gifts because I like to give something that I know is an excellent product and having owned several sets of Bose® speakers, including the legendary 901s, I have ZERO reservations about buying something from them.
The workmanship is excellent. The sound superb . The style, is beyond reproach. The sound? Yeah...Again, SUPERB. This speakers, these "headphones" are not for the stuck up of the frAudiophile World (I read that term on the internet and it is hilarious!), they are for REAL people that enjoy listening to music, NOT equipment. Bose makes excellent products for people, not SNOBS.
Only a snob listens to equipment while a person listens to music. Music is the soundtrack of our lives. Love is friendship set to music. These Soundwear Companions are worth the price of admission and I was ready to buy two of them when they went on sale at 50%, soooooo...I bought four of them instead!
They are extremely easy to set up and you can use the Bose App or just hook them up via Bluetoof without the App. They work and they reproduce music beautifully. I gave one pair to my son and two pair (a pair of pairs!) to my brother and his wonderful wife! They really LIKE them! My sister-in-law is a Goldsmith and can easily wear them and enjoy music while working at her bench. She wears them in their garden. She wears them around the house. They both wear them around the house and like my son, they both reeeeeeeeeeally like these 'phones!
I am certain you will too. Highly recommended? Yup. Trust me...I know what I'm doin' when I'm reviewin'.

...It's a keyboard. A keyboard. That's exactly what it is. Not too exciting, huh? It lights up which is handy when it's darkish in the room. But on the whole, it is a freakin' keyboard.
And it does exactly what a keyboard should do. Don't believe me? It's doing keyboardish stuff write (get it?!) now.
I recommend one of these if you need a KEYBOARD. :-)

I got this for my brother and his wonderful wife! And...Wait for it...Waaaaait...Just a little longer...The REALLY like it!!!!!!!!!!
They grow probably 75% of their food themselves as my brother is a vegan (no...He's a good vegetarian, one that doesn't jump in my face for eating meat. He is not a grumpy, judgeMENTAL vegen, LOL! He enjoys what he eats and his wife is an excellent cook and again, they grow around 75% of their food in their back yard!
And I LOVE my brother and his wife and son, so I bought 'em this little device. They have already begun using it for herbs and the like and soon they will start doing tomatoes and if I'm lucky, some apricots for me! Doggie treats for our most excellent Labratard pooch! Artificial beef jerky treats?! Real beef jerky treats?! Banana Chips?! Apples?! The list is only limited by your imagination and taste buds! Who knows what else they'll be sucking the liquid out of with this most excellent Food Dehydrator from my abso-freakin'-lutely favourite (note the cultured European spelling!) electronics store - Best Buy.
I was told this thing really works great and they could not be happier with this gift and that is the entire purpose of giving something to someone you care about: Making them happy!
I even got them the two year extended warranty! Why? Because I LOVE them, that's why? And it was affordable peace of mind to boot. Look, I'm not just any major dude but I will tell you, this thing (per my brother and his wife) is FANTASTIC!
I am no cook, let alone a chef (well...Maybe along the lines of Chef Boyardee or Chef Tell!) but from what they tell me this thing is a quality piece of equipment and it gets the job done. What more could anyone want from a Food Dehyrdator?
Highly recommended? Yuppers!

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.

I am using a Sonos Arc Ultra and Era 300's with my new QM8K. Will adding these new Z100's to my system add any improvement to what I already have? Will these speakers work in conjunction with my Sonos system?

No because the TCL Z100s are made for the Dolby Atmos FlexConnect ecosystem and Sono is not. I hope this helps you!

They work fantastically with my TCL QM9K 75"model's built i speakers providing the necessary rear channel and upward firing rear sound effects channels to properly encoded Dolby Atmos films.

Supported TV models include:

This amp also acts as a streamer, doesn't it? I don't need to pair another streamer to it, correct?

Yes. The Marantz Model M1 is a combination Amplifier with built-in HEOS controlled streamer. You do not need anything other than a pair of passive (i.e., not self powered) speakers and if you wish, a powered subwoofer. The M1 is 2.1 channel ready (i.e., 2 speakers and a powered sub). Thank you!

High pass for sub out?

I believe the Marantz Model M1 has a low pass filter for the sub out and a high pass filter for the main speakers. The unit is 2.1 ready! The sub out level should be easily accessed and controled via the HEOS screen for "now playing". I hope this helps and if there is any error on my part perhaps the Marantz folks will assist.

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.

Hisense sent me an email a couple of weeks ago and said they would contact me. So far not a word. This is NOT Best Buy's problem. It belongs to Hisense.

Do TV's with Tuner Type ATSC 3.0 (NextGen TV) also work with atsc 1.0 signal?

In general most standards are backwards compatible. For example, Bluetooth. All the best!

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!!!!!

Thank you Roseb. The TV is hooked up properly and other than you kind reply I've found nothing to alleviate my problems with an otherwise fine TV.

I am giving it back under warranty. I have long since grown weary of they way this thing turns every freaking device on unless and worse. I have asked Hisense here for help but NOooooOOoooooooo!!!!!
