EXCELLENT for Phone Calls, and Music too!
on July 28, 2017
Posted by: Sean310
Verified Purchase:Yes
I've been hanging on to my old Jawbone ERA headsets for a long time (now discontinued), as they were the best I could find for years... I read a lot of Apple AirPod reviews, and then I figured, let's give these a go. I'm a really tough-sell when it comes to electronics, but the short & sweet review: THESE ARE 5-STARS!
I'm VERY picky when it comes to call quality, I'm on professional work calls frequently and I cannot use a headset unless it's REALY GOOD. Yup, I'm one of those guys. E.g. NO hiccups, NO disconnected calls, NO poor sound quality on either end, noise cancelling at least to a certain degree, etc. The AirPods have ALL of these bases covered. And since it's Apple, well... their customer service is excellent, so that's a huge reassurance for the long-term.
I'm happy to report that these are AWESOME. I don't know why it took so many years for a company to get this right, but Apple did it! The phone call sound quality (and mic/sound for the caller on the other end) is High-Def too - it sounds like you're face-to-face, just like a FaceTime Audio call - you hear every breath.
The Dual Mics are also great (one in each headset)- I had no idea when I purchased these, but I'm pleasantly surprised... So you can use just one headset, or both. You can even put the 2nd headset in your ear while you're on a call and it automatically syncs and everything's in stereo, and then pull either one out while on said phone call, and you're back to a standard one-headset arrangement. Same goes for music too.
The headsets have sensors and thus only output sound (or use the mic) when they're in your ear - so you can switch back and forth seamlessly, and even charge one while you're using the other in the included charging case.
On iOS devices you'll see the battery levels of each AirPod, and the charging case. I'd imagine there's a battery meter shown on Android devices as well, not sure if all three components would show levels though like on iOS.
As for the music quality, these are right on par with my wireless Beats headset - EXCELLENT. Deep base, very crisp/bright highs, rich mids - a great music experience, honestly. However, I still prefer using my wireless Beats headset in the gym. I don't want to expose the AirPods to too much sweat. The Beats are designed for exercise / working out, and I can still take a quick call on them if need be while working out.
These also stay in my ears really well - very comfortable. When you open the case - they automatically connect, and if you have multiple Apple devices that are unlocked at the same time within range, then you'll see an image pop up on all of them automatically... and you choose where you want them to connect. Lots of cool features.
Like others have said, you will NOT be disappointed!

Works Great!

This charger stand by Insignia works great with my XBox 360 controllers, I wish there was a charge level indicator (or lights that show the progression of charging) but it does have an indicator (green) that lights up when they're fully charged, which is sufficient.

ChromeCast Audio Works Well
on June 20, 2017
Posted by: Sean310
Verified Purchase:Yes
This dongle works well and allows my older Denon receiver to work with my Sony speakers wirelessly linked via ChromeCast that's already built-in to them, to stream music wirelessly. You will need to adjust the audio lag using Google's app so that your receiver's audio is in sync with your other wireless speakers.
ChromeCast does not work with audio from a video source (there is a network lag and the dialog will be delayed and out-of-sync) but it works well for music. The shape is a bit odd but it's behind my receiver and not out in the open so the form-factor doesn't really matter for my application.

Excellent Keyboard Case for the iPad
on June 20, 2017
Posted by: Sean310
Verified Purchase:Yes
This keyboard case works great with my iPad Pro 12.1", but it does add a lot of weight. So much so that I wish there were another option that offered backlit keys and the protection this case provides. I have a Zagg RuggedBook case for an older iPad of mine, and honestly I like it a lot better since it's "ruggedized" and doesn't slip, and it's also a lot lighter too. I wish Zagg would make a RuggedBook case for the iPad Pro, that would be a true winner.

Great Sound Quality, but...
on June 20, 2017
Posted by: Sean310
Verified Purchase:Yes
This receiver has great sound quality (better than my current Denon AVR-1912) and it's easier to hear speech at lower sound levels than with my Denon, however... I bought this for the ChromeCast built-in feature, and it does NOT work... I tried everything imaginable including updates, etc. but I could not get it to play via ChromeCast, only AirPlay works wirelessly. I e-mailed Sony and also read numerous reports on Sony's homepage of users who could not get ChromCast to work on this unit (1070 model).
One other drawback is Sony receivers do not do "Multi-Channel" audio like the Denons do... even if you manually adjust the individual channel levels, the front speakers will always be louder than the rest, whereas the Denons will allow you to use Multi-Channel to send the same strength (and clarity of audio) to all speakers, something that's really helpful when you need to keep the volume at lower levels and you have a 5.1 or 7.1 arrangement and want to be able to ultilize the rear speakers in Multi-Channel mode.

Excellent, High-Resolution Monitor for the Office!
on June 20, 2017
Posted by: Sean310
Verified Purchase:Yes
It tried 3 different monitors before finding this one (and all the others went back) - excellent clarity, very solid build, no built-in speakers though (something I was looking for but not a deal-breaker) and 2560 x 1440 resolution which lets you fit a lot more on your screen, without it being too small. I have two mounted side-by-side on an Ergotron mount and they're awesome for the office (or for at home).
It is the perfect blend of size (not overly big) yet more screen real estate thanks to the higher resolution. I first tried 27" monitors and they were just too big, and most have a standard "HD" resolution which is lower than this Dell - You will not be disappointed!

Good iPhone Case, but...

I liked this case however for the price-point it seems like it should be better made. I ended up returning it and going with one of the slimmer OtterBox cases as their build is much, much better.

Power your Apple devices with this Belkin charge dock. It comes with a Lightning connector that charges iPhones and an integrated magnetic charger that provides Apple watches with more juice when needed. The single built-in cable of this Belkin charge dock lets you charge both devices simultaneously, saving you the inconvenience of using multiple cords.

Nice Apple Watch Dock
on June 20, 2017
Posted by: Sean310
Verified Purchase:Yes
This Belkin Apple Watch dock is great, and it has a height adjustment for your iPhone so it'll work with most cases too. But, I ended up returning this one and going with Belkin's highest end Apple Watch dock, which is unfortunately only sold in Apple Stores, which is the one that is all metal. It is the same size as this Belkin dock (the base is wider but if you account for the space where the Apple Watch rests it's the same size). But, the higher-end one is just classier looking and much more solid.

Excellent, High-Quality Speaker!
on June 20, 2017
Posted by: Sean310
Verified Purchase:Yes
I own the full previous Sony line of speakers for wireless streaming all over my house... SRS-HG1 (kitchen), SRS-X77 (office - it blends nicely), SRS-X88 (bedroom) & SRS-X99 (living room), and now, the SRS-ZR7 (foyer/entryway). These are GREAT speakers, excellent fidelity, and while they're not cheap by any means, you really get what you pay for. Heavy, high-quality builds and excellent sound, that are also classy looking and compliement your décor. Sony's "Music" app on iOS allows you to adjust all sorts of settings, and rename your speakers however you like, which affects how they show up on AirPlay lists and GoogleCast. (Note: The ZR7 is not AirPlay or AirPlay 2 compatible). It's not the best app, but it works for making all of the adjustments. You can stream directly from Apple Music or Spotify without having to use Sony's Music app at all.
If you have the money, and you're looking for a great-sounding speaker that will last for years - this IS the way to go. I have a Denon receiver and all Klipsch speakers for my home theater system, but I use these Sony speakers for wireless music throughout the house and I love it - excellent sound, also Hi-Res audio capable (except the X77).
If you're looking for heavy bass, invest in a subwoofer - heavy bass mixed into a small-ish speaker = lackluster for sound. Overly heavy bass generally drowns out the high end and diminishes fidelity. The ZR7 (and the X88) have good bass though, and customizable EQs if you want to emphasize that end of the spectrum. So, if you're looking for something more high-end without spending ridiculous amounts of money, that have excellent sound and that will last for years to come, look no further!

I have a Sony Bravia TV it is teamed with a Visio sound Bar via optical Connection and a wireless Visio Woofer - Can I use this Sony wireless speaker as an additional speaker while simutainiously using the wireless woofer?

I see there is a headphone jack. But is this an input or an output? I want to use this with Analog Out from a TV or Bluray player that I have until I am ready to upgrade to the Sony UH1P1 with LDAC Bluetooth. ( Don't have Wireless!)
