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'!
Trust me. I know what I'm doin' when I'm reviewin'.

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.

I usually buy the lenses that do not have ear supports and come with a small hard case but decided those are for work/travel I would try these for at home use.
I am glad I did.
They work great and while the other ones I mentioned don't usually slip off, these have yet to do so.
They are comfortable and as I said, they work great. Highly recommended!

I bought this because the microwave we got from Best Buy over ten years ago(!) finally gave up the ghost. That unit worked great and while it was an above range model and larger, this new microwave is even better!
When it comes time to upgrade all of our kitchen's major appliances, this G.E. will still be used upstairs to heat up soup or leftovers and pop some popcorn while watching a movie.
This microwave just plain works GREAT! Highly recommended? Indeed!

Upon setting up this AVR for the first time the main thing that struck me was how WIMPY the phono stage output was. I say "was" because I discovered how to fix that annoying problem.
BEHOLD!
1) Select your input. In this case "Phono".
2) Now select "Setup".
3) Now select "Inputs".
4) Now select "Source Level".
5) Adjust level via remote for up to 12db of gain.
Exit. Repeat if you wish another input selection to have its level increased or decreased. Each input MUST be selected on the remote and shown on the receiver display prior to making the other selections I have outlined above. It is individual for each input. I raised my Phono all the way and now it works a whole LOT better!
I bought this because SiriusXM in their ignorant "wisdom" have chosen not to support the Pioneer Elite SX-N30 I have owned for several years now and I was looking at the Denon DRA-800H but it was a bit overpriced for what you get and so for $200 less...I bought the Denon AVR-S660H.
Outside of less power, it does have 5 channels of said power vs the 800H having 2. Otherwise, they seem equally matched feature-wise. I own a Denon AVR-X4300H and that is an excellent 9.2 system that I primarily use for movies and music. This 660 is currently running at 2.1 channels and I will be installing a very nice Klipsch center channel speaker soon.
But...Back to what I think of the 660. I think, not feeeeeeeeel that it is an excellent value and a fine performer. Once I found out how to fix the terrible phono output (with no help from "AHEM!" anyone else, I can now heartily recommend this device to any and all that want primarily stereo for music and are fine with up to 5.2 channels for film.
It doesn't disappoint believe me. It DELIVERS. I have been running it for several days now, 24 hours a day, non-stop with vinyl, with CD and with the wonder that is HEOS providing me with Pandora, Amazon UHD and SiriusXM along with my favorite internet station out of the Netherlands, "The Great American Songbook" station and this receiver works superbly!
My JBL 4-Way towers have a sensitivity rating of 91db and the work just fine with this new Denon! In truth, my only disappontment was with the phono section and now that that has been rectified, I have zero complaints and can 100% recommend the AVR-S660H.
I forwarded my findings on the phono stage to Denon and they are looking at (hopefully) updating the manual that comes with the unit to include my solution to the problem.
Now then. The BEST part of this Denon is HEOS. I have 10 HEOS speakers throughout our home and via the 660H or my 4300H, I can send internet radio, Amazon UHD, Pandora, SiriusXM my CD collection and even my VINYL throughout my entire home via WiFi!
It just flat works and I have tried Bose, Sonos and Bluesound but for my hard earned money, HEOS is the best there is bar none! The app for Android and iOS work on superbly on our phones. They also work on our iPads. And our Amazon Fire Tablet 10.
They just flat out WORK. They are transparent and neither add to nor take away from your music. They are there to provide access and control of your music and the do so with ease.
Highly recommended? Yup! HEOS is ex cellent. Home Entertainment Operating System...HEOS. I can play my over 500 CDs via one of my 300 and 200 disc Sony CD changers via HEOS to any room in our home that has a HEOS wireless speaker in it. And I do.
I can play my records in any room over WiFi via HEOS. Any station on Pandora, Amazon UHD, SiriusXM whatever station I choose from the literally thousands available on the internet. HEOS does that and does it easily.
I recommend Denon, Marantz and HEOS without hesitation or reservation. When it comes time to send my brother and his wonderful wife a Christmas present, you can bet it will have HEOS in it and be from Denon or Marantz. I trust those two brands completely. And speaking of "trust"...

This was bought for my daughter and her husband. I gave them a Samsung TV a year or so ago (from Best Buy) and now it was time to upgrade from the tinny tiny speakers.
Stock audio was insufficient enough that my wife, who watch her grandchildre there) complained about it.
No more complaints! None! They are all very pleased and that is exactly what a gift should do. Make someone happy! It was soooo easy to install that they really didn't need me but I am happy to help out!
Highly recommended? Without hesitation!

I lost my iPhone SE when my OtterBox belt clip snapped and the iPhone went tumbling down the road. I had the insurance but alas, Apple and Best Buy said if I could not produce busted pieces then I was out of luck.
So then, what to do. I returned to Android. I had a Motorola Z3 Play that worked fine with the exception of the only feature outside of it being a phone that mattered to me. It stunk on Android Auto.
I asked about Motorola cell phones and Android Auto and no one could or perhaps would, answer me openly. So I bought this phone. I am thrilled it has a headphone jack! I am happy it also has 256 gig of built in memory and a MicroSD slot! But more than anything else, once I discovered a particular setting for Android Auto, it seems to actually work with Android Auto!
I simply went into AA settings and once I had joined my two vehicles and turned off the setting to seek out and join more new vehicles. And...It works nearly without flaws!
Not quite as good as fApple Carplay but it also does things Carplay does not. If the AC is on and a call comes in and I answer, the fan speed is turned down automatically. It plays Amazon Music Ultra HD, Pandora Premium (Family Plan!) and SiriusXM superbly!
It can still become "confused" but that has only happed twice since I discovered the magical setting in AA. The phone works just fine as a phone and the batter will last at least two days, so I've got that goin' for me...Which is nice.
I do have a bit of difficulty with the whole "swipe right/left" thing but that is likely my fault and not that of the phone. I have yet to use the included stylus but it's there if I want or need to. There is not a ton of (UGH!) bloatware and I have begun to delete stuff I find annoyingly useless/vapid. I have downloaded an Onkyo Music Player app and put a 128 gig MicroSD in the phone to put a few thousand songs on that I reeeeeeeeeeeeeeally like!
Calls are excellent. I speak with my mother and sister every day on my way home from work and the phone is a pleasure to use in that capacity. And when I am done speaking with my family I turn the music back on to ease my sluggish drive through SoCal traffic! This is an excellent phone and not just for the money. As I said, it has a headphone jack and a stylus and a MicroSD slot! How many "high"/"rear" end phones on either side of the Android/fApple fence can boast that?!
I am so very please with this purchase and if that were to change I would change my review but so far, I am as I said, very PLEASED!
And I think, not feeeeeeeeeeeeel, you will be too. The phone is superb and does all that I want a phone to do. Work as a phone and as a music playback device in my car or truck. 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.

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!!!!!

Is the phono input section as poor as the one on my new Denon AVR-660H? That one just plain sucks and is soooo WEAK I need to turn the volume to at least "60" to hear anything of worth. Talk about shoddy! I also own an AVR-X4300H that is great!

Smoke, grease and cooking odors have no place in your kitchen. But neither do bulky hood vents that overpower your design sensibilities. LG STUDIO wall-mounted hood vents offer a streamlined, low-profile look that occupies minimal visual space, paired with a professional-grade 600 CFM blower that delivers ultimate air movement. The theme of powerful performance and refined style continues, with dual level LED lighting that brilliantly illuminates the cooktop surface and sophisticated, touch controls. Available in 30” and 36” widths in elegant black stainless steel; classic stainless steel finish.
Can the wifi feature be disabled or turned off?
I never activated mine so as near as I can tell if it doesn't have access to your WiFi, that feature is not on.

Can this unit be wall mounted?
Yes of course! You just need to get a VESA standard wall mount for it. Go into your local Best Buy and they will help you right there. If it is not in stock they can order it for you and have it sent to your home or to the store for pick up.

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!!!!!

I am thinking of moving my computer and hooking it up to a tv. I play high tech fast action games and looking for a tv that will handle the speed. I'm told the refresh rate is a major importance. I'm looking hopefully for a tv about 65 inch.

when it indicates Google tv, what does that mean?
Google TV is the OS (Operating System) for this TV. You can simply buy a Roku, Amazon or some other device that features your preferred OS.

Does this have a fiber optic output
The TV has a Toslink/Optical Output. The TV is the audio source and as such it does not have an Optical input.

Two questions: I heard the U8K drops the HDMI signal, especially when using an HDMI splitter. Has this been a problem for anyone? I use an HDMI splitter to hook up multiple gane consoles. Also, have people run into dirty screen effect with the U8K?
8K is not widely (if at all) available via streaming. I spoke with my son who is an avid gamer and he said it isn't much of a deal in that environment.
If you split your source you are likely to suffer signal degradation unless you insert a device too boost said signal.

Can you use an Amazon Fire Stick with this TV, even though it’s Google? Apparently the cable company I am joining says they give you an amazon fire stick. Want to be sure it works with this TV. Thanks
Yes you can. I have done so via direct input of my Fire Stick 4K to the TV or via inputting the Firestick 4K into my Denon AVR-X4300H and it works superbly!
