I am very pleased with these filters. They fit exactly the same as the OEM Samsung filters and they also function very well. I have not noticed any flow restrictions or observed any abnormal aspects to the water or ice. I would definitely buy these again.

Excellent Card & Value
on February 9, 2018
Posted by: ARea
from Marina, CA
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is an excellent card for the basic things that most devices require. Pictures, videos, playback, games, etc. If you are using a high end camera or video device that is shooting a lot of 4K or other high definition resolutions and various shooting speeds, then it would be in your best interest to invest in a higher speed card for faster writing and reading times.
As I mentioned though, this is a great card for most mobile devices and tablets. I used this card to load movies for my daughter's Amazon Fire Tablet and it works great. I also have these cards in my Samsung Tab 2.0 and it works perfectly without any hiccups. I have used these in the past in other mobile devices and they never failed me. I would definitely recommend putting them on your wishlist and keep an eye out for 'Deal of the Day' sale or weekly sales to get the most bang for your buck. It is a great card and a great value when compared to other manufacturers. Also keep in mind that Best Buy does a good job of price matching so keeping an eye on prices on various other website would be a good idea.

Very nice headset..but needs some features
on December 27, 2017
Posted by: ARea
from Marina, CA
Verified Purchase:Yes
So I purchased these specifically for the new PS4 VR system. They match the VR headset and allow for ambient noise to enter. Out of the many reviews and recommendations, these were always mentioned and praised so I gave it a shot. First off, they really do have some fantastic sound. The mic sensitivity and quality is very good. It does a decent job of minimizing ambient noise too. So those are the two main things that should concern you about audio. Obviously, comfort is high up on the list of things to consider too. I really like how quickly you can change the fitting of the headset so it feels comfortable and secure. Thankfully, my boy and I share the same head size genetics so I don't need to constantly change the size. But if I needed to, it would only take a few seconds to do.
-1 Star: Here is my issue with these...there are no dials or adjustments that can be made on the headset or wire to adjust the volume. It has to be done through the controller options on the PS4. It simply is not convenient in my opinion. It would be much nicer to fine tune your desired volume levels using a dial or dimmer switch on the headset or on the cable.
Considering you advanced the VR and PS4 system are, I am really surprised that they do not have a better wireless functionality. Bottom line is there is definitely some issues with wireless and using the VR. I personally do not like having wires dangling between the controller and me but it is something you get used to considering you have wires dangling from the VR system. So specifically using these for VR, you have some ambient noise that comes in. This is meant to help with having a better feel for your surroundings. I am not certain I have noticed any difference to be completely honest. We have some incredible music studio quality headsets (better than any headset Best Buy sells) and the sound is off the charts BUT it is indeed a wired headset. The audio quality for wireless is simply is not on par with wired in some situations.

I have used these for non-VR games too and they do provide an enjoyable gaming experience by letting you hear things you would not typically hear just from your tv and basic sound system. They are a good option! I would not say they are your best VR option. Do not let that deter you though. For the price, they are absolutely worth it.

It's a molded piece of plastic with ports...
on December 1, 2017
Posted by: ARea
from Marina, CA
Verified Purchase:Yes
Functionality - 3 stars - could be too tall for some entertainment shelves. This needs to be on top of the entertainment center. Also, should have had a spot for an another regular controller charging port.
Price - 3 stars - too expensive for a molded piece of plastic
Convenience - 5 stars - it is nice having everything there and ready for you
I was not too impressed with this stand. It is nothing fancy really. Some molded plastic with the ability to charge your wand move controllers and one regular remote.
It is easy to put together and get plugged in. Everything fits on it and charges your remotes. The headset sits in it really nice and secure. I am surprised though at how much they are charging for this accessory. This is definitely a monopolized accessory. From what I have been able to find, it is the only Sony licensed stand for the VR headset which means they can charge what they want.
In retrospect, I would have been better off finding a generic VR headset stand online and keep the remote chargers I already have. It looks cool elevating the headset like that though.
I am on the fence on whether I would recommend a friend buy it. If you already have a charging station for your remotes, don't buy it. If you don't and have a VR, then I think it is a good option to get it.

Awesome Gaming Experience

Verified Purchase:Yes
I knocked off 1 star because with tech devices like these, there is always room for improvement. The resolution is still something that needs to be improved. After gaming in 4K and then going to the VR headset, it can seem like you are going backwards. Other than that, I should give it a 5 star rating for simply the fun you will have gaming in VR. There are quite a bit of titles available with more coming soon. It is only going to get better. Sony has many more years of VR development and research. You definitely need a room with plenty of space. Standing up can be a little sketchy if you are not careful but it is a fun experience nonetheless. It is a very pricey addition to your existing PS4 system but it allows you to have much more immersive experience you simply cannot experience with your regular controller and TV. Some games do have some quirky navigation which means you need to learn a new way of moving around in a game. Many games, you can still use the standard remote. It is a new and fun way to experience gaming! If you can find someone you know that has it to try it first, I would definitely recommend that. it is not for everyone. Some people get motion sickness quickly. Find out if you are one of those people. Most of the time, it is because we are moving our heads faster than the headset and processor are able to deliver back to your eyes. That causes a lag in our brains because we expect our eyesight to keep up and it cannot because of the screen limitations. Be aware of that, slow down your body movements, and take your time getting accustomed to this new way of gaming and you should be enjoying your experience without getting sick!
The game GT Sport is a beautiful masterpiece. Granted it uses a lot of elements from an older game version but it is something that has been built for the VR and also for regular gaming on your TV. You can choose your interface and it looks fantastic either way!

I was reluctant to get the PS VR but after many reviews and a little bit of gaming boredom, I decided to make the plunge. This bundle is a fantastic bundle! This is an actual controller. I would highly recommend you get the Geek Protection for 2 years. There are some moving parts and electronics that could potentially go bad. The game is actually a fun shooter. The multiplayer is really fun too. I have met a few good people. Don't have to deal with a giant group of people. It is you and one other person playing against AI. I have almost fallen over a couple times while playing. I was really getting into it. I would recommend getting in the habit of not moving your feet to look or move around the room. It's worth standing up to play it in my opinion but be careful! It is more immersive standing up. More games will accept this controller in the near future. Most notable, Doom VFR is compatible!

Great service but a bit pricey

I got accustomed to the days of the free PSN account for many years. At first, I was really irritated with the direction Sony decided to go. But it was an ignorant irritation. After a few months of game play, I changed my tone and realized that Sony did in fact invest millions of dollars on a completely new server system which was MUCH faster and more reliable. The added benefit of free games and discounts on games is another PLUS (pun intended). It is pricey but save your money and buy a couple years of membership when they go on sale ($10-20 off).

Good Sound & Value

from Marina, CA
Verified Purchase:Yes
I have a couple of these soundbars now. One in my bedroom and one in the dining room. They have a good full sound. They are obviously not going to give you the sound of something like a Klipsh but they get loud enough for most rooms and still MUCH better than any built in speakers on your current TV models. If you want something that can also expand to connect a subwoofer, this is a good model for most needs. I kept my eyes open for a few months for the Insignia 10" subwoofer on sale. Found it and it makes a world of a difference to really fill the room with some bass. For the value, it would be difficult to find a better sound bar. If you hold out and save some extra money, you can definitely get better quality sound with some higher end models.

Nothing fancy and gets the job done
on July 3, 2017
Posted by: ARea
Verified Purchase:Yes
I honestly feel like I over paid for a mount that is simple and easy. It is very tight in order to get some of the screws on secured enough to feel confident it would not fall. Because of the difficulty of trying to get the tv secured to the bracket, I knocked off 1 star. It does what it says and the price is not horrible. Nothing fancy but something similar and better could be purchased on Amazon for around the same price. Best Buy needs to seriously consider increasing the tv mount options and updating the inflated prices.

Amazing Sound!

Posted by: ARea
Verified Purchase:Yes
I have waited a couple months for this review. I wanted to ensure that I leave a solid review for this product. Although this could be considered an older model/version I would not let that dissuade you from possibly purchasing this. These speakers offer an amazing rich and full tone. I am not a fan of the 3D or the bluetooth capabilities. I think many people have commented as such. For those 2 reasons, I removed 1 star. I have been simply enjoying the sound without those settings, and it is fantastic! It replaced my 5.1 Onkyo system. This is NOT a true surround sound system but the quality of this sound is hard to rival by many of the sound systems I have experienced, even higher priced sound bar and surround sound systems. I am absolutely satisfied with my purchase.
** I did have a defect in my remote but I contacted Klipsh and they are sending me a new remote at no cost. I am not concerned though because the system paired up in only a few minutes using my Logitech Harmony Ultimate remote. **

Does your device accept an microSD card? If it does, then it should work just fine. Also remember that Best Buy has an excellent return policy if for some reason it does not accept the card.

Whats the difference between this and the R10B? The only thing I can see is the 8" subwoofer vs a 10" subwoofer. Thanks

The larger subwoofer is the difference and the 10" is MUCH better, louder, and crisper.

Hi, I have this system and I was wondering if I can add to it. For example more power, more speakers in order to make the T.V. sound even louder in the room. If so, any recommendations would be appreciated. Thank you. :)

No. You cannot add onto this system. I believe one of their newer models allow for adding onto it. This system is sufficient for most rooms in my opinion. It is loud, crisp, and rumbles with the best of them. It would be nice to have additional satellite speakers but it was not a deal breaker for me.

can you watch live tv with this stick

It is possible but the basic functionality of the FireStick does not allow (from what I have experienced). There are ways that you can improve the functionality of the firestick and get additional apps to accomplish your goal.

with the amazon fire tv stick can I get HBO and Showtime, HGTV and other programs? I have two TV's do I need a fire stick for each tv?

Yes, you can pay extra for subscriptions to programming from HBO, Showtime, etc. You would also need a firestick for each tv but your subscriptions would be available to each one.
