Set the mood in your home via music with these Klipsch speakers. The wood-grain vinyl exterior imparts a touch of sophisticated elegance to a room, while the Tractrix Horn technology provides clear, vibrant and rich musical tones. The titanium tweeter on these Klipsch speakers dampens high-frequencies to facilitate crisp, natural sound.

Great for rear surround
on August 7, 2018
Posted by: HarvickFan
from Indianapolis, IN
These speakers are great for rounding out your surround sound system as rear or side surrounds. Lots of power means you can drive these speakers hard and not worry about clipping. Sound is crisp and clear with plenty of low end for a speaker this size. My only complaint was that for me some of the top end sounded a little too thin, but overall these speakers are a perfect pair to add to your setup. These speakers have bulk to them, so plan accordingly in terms of the space needed to place them, but you won't be disappointed.

Your Home Theater Starts Here
on August 6, 2018
Posted by: HarvickFan
from Indianapolis, IN
The center channel speaker is the main component of any good home theater setup, and the one most people overlook. The R34C from Klipsch delivers amazing sound and tone quality that will draw you in to the action and dialogue on screen.
The build quality is wonderful, it’s built like a tank, which Klipsch products are known for. It does have some heft and size, so make sure you have the proper room and clearances for this speaker if you are setting on a tv stand, etc. It can also be mounted to the wall with included wall hanging hardware, for those clean, flush on the wall installs.
400W/100W RMS of power means that you can drive this speaker hard and it will deliver. Sound is always crisp and clear. With four 3.5" graphite woofers and a 1” tweeter, along with dual rear firing bass ports, this speaker can reproduce sounds and tones that used to take multiple speakers. And with it’s 2 way speaker system, the sound moving across the front of you is much more fluid than other center channel speaker in my opinion and has a very wide soundscape, perfect for movies.
You can leave the grill on the front for a more traditional look, or remove the grill and show off the copper injected molded cones that Klipsch is known for, for a more aggressive look. If you are starting your home theater and looking for a center channel, look no further than this one, you won’t be disappointed.

Bass Lovers Rejoice
on August 6, 2018
Posted by: HarvickFan
from Indianapolis, IN
This subwoofer brings the boom, period. It’s built like a tank, like all Klipsch products are known for. It has both phase and frequency controls to help dial in the tone you want, plus a master volume control to fine tune how the sub fits in with your overall system, as to not overpower the other speakers and become too boomy. You can set the sub to always be on, or set it to automatically turn on only when it receives a signal from your receiver, and you can also manually power the sub off, without having to disconnect anything, for those times when you need to be a little quieter, but still have the rest of your system running. Different audio sources might require some slight fine tuning – for example watching a DTS or Atmos movie, versus regular cable versus listening to music. But once dialed in, this subwoofer delivers across all of them.
Setup was super simply, and just place the sub in a corner and be amazed. With the 200W RMS of power this sub will easily fill any space with the type of bass you dial in. It also has the copper cone that Klipsch is known for, so you can use with the grill cover on for a traditional look, or remove it and let the copper cone shine for a more aggressive look. I love how much depth and tone this thing adds to my listening experience.

Super Sound, Super Comfortable
on June 11, 2018
Posted by: HarvickFan
from Indianapolis, IN
The packaging for these headphones is nice and robust and there are a lot of pamphlets to aid you in start-up/set-up. I did appreciate having those documents and not having to review an online guide before my initial use. The charging box is super convenient and easy to use. As far as charging, I liked that I didn’t have to spend a lot of time figuring out how to charge. It didn’t take long for the initial charging and subsequent charges seem to go by quick as well. The life of the battery is good with these. I have not been inconvenienced by having to charge them, the battery life lasts for hours before you have to recharge. The setup stage was very easy all the way through from charging, to Bluetooth syncing, to first time use.

I love the functionality of being able to toggle from song to song using just the control on the headphone. I also love the fact I can switch from noise cancelling to ambient with a simple touch to the headphone. I do want to mention I could definitely tell the difference between Noise-Cancelling and Ambient settings. I didn’t notice anything that told me to download the app to gain access to additional functionality when I read through everything. What I didn’t realize until I used the app was all of the different settings for sound. The app is very user-friendly. I liked the simplicity of it and the fact that it didn’t take an expert on sound quality to make changes based on my preferences and the genre of music I was listening to at the time. The sound is crisp and clear. The bass boost is definitely among the best I’ve experienced with earbuds and the fact that I can adjust it is a perk. I haven’t noticed any sound distortion with any of the equalizer settings. I do like it that I can see the battery life of the earbuds easily on my iPhone as well. It is nice to not have to open the app to see how much life is left.

Comfort is rated high with these earbuds. I have had many brands and types of earbuds and these rank at the top. I can have them in my ear for hours without needing a break from them. I was appreciative that multiple earbud sizes were available within the packaging. Beyond the comfort, these do stay in place and are really easy to wear. I’ve not had to touch my ear to adjust them at any point and that’s been true whether I’ve been exercising or just doing household chores.

Using these earbuds for phone calls is a very nice feature as well. Nothing “wow” about it, but the phone call sound was crystal clear very easy to answer and end calls.

Overall, these are high quality earbuds. They are comfortable, functional, and convenient. The sound quality is amazing, including the Bass response, which is huge for in ear headphones like these. Very nice…

Solid Performance but No Wow factor
on May 30, 2018
Posted by: HarvickFan
from Indianapolis, IN
These headphones offer quality, crystal clear sound, but I’m not sure they are worth the price. I have multiple pairs of high end wired and wireless headphones, and after trying the new Sony 1AM2, I was left wondering what this pair offered at this price point that others don’t already do, and some even much better and the same or even lower price.
The cans are very lightweight, almost shockingly so right out of the box. But the build quality is very good. And even though they are mostly plastic, you don’t even notice that they are on your head after long listening sessions. The ear cups are super soft and comfortable and form a nice over-the-ear seal on your head.
Sound quality is very good, especially when using hi res audio sources. The clarity is nice and pronounced, however I was left feeling the set lacks overall bass. But then again I listen to pretty bass heavy rock and metal music. Even with the audio source eq’d to be bass heavy, the 1AM2’s produce very nice and clean tight bass, but may leave some listeners wanting more.
The talkback cable worked perfectly and accepting and closing phone calls from a smartphone is super easy. They also come with a 1/4 in cable for when your audio source is something other than a smartphone, so no need for any adapters down to 1/8 in which is nice. They also come with a nice carrying bag.
Overall they are a solid pair of hi res audio headphones, but at their price point, not sure they make the grade.

Incredible Sound
on May 19, 2018
Posted by: HarvickFan
from Indianapolis, IN
Such incredible sound. The first thing that you notice is how lightweight it is. But don’t let that fool you, the sound is HUGE. Very easy to operate, the three channels are very easy to access, both connections and controls. The third channel has the dedicated bluetooth connection and paring is very simple and super fast. Whether you are playing or instrument, using a vocal microphone, or listening to music from a paired bluetooth device, the sound from the S1 is simply amazing. Volume will easily fill small to medium rooms and give very nice coverage outdoors. The true tone sound and auto EQ seem to work fairly well. I found I still need to move the speaker around just a bit to get the best overall sound in various rooms, but most of the time you can just set it and forget it. And I love that they even included a speaker stand port on the bottom. Battery life seems to be very good. This speaker is perfect for the solo musician playing small gigs, or someone that needs a conference PA for spoken word, speeches or various vocal needs. You can also put it on a speaker stand and pair a bluetooth device and play your favorite songs at a party or get together. Everyone will be amazed by the sound, and won’t believe it’s coming from this speaker. It provides sounds and volume that you would expect from a speaker much larger. If you have a need for something like this, give the S1 Pro a try, you won’t be disappointed.

Upgrade your viewing experience in 3...2...1
on April 24, 2018
Posted by: HarvickFan
from Indianapolis, IN
Makes an immediate improvement to the sound of anything you’re watching. Whether it’s cable TV, video games or HD movies, this thing sounds amazing.
Connectivity is very straightforward. I’m using the HDMI passthrough into the ARC HDMI channel on my TV and I’m using the Digital Audio output for my Xbox One. If I had one complaint about the system, it’s that I wish the system would recognize the input source from HDMI and automatically switch to the HDMI source. It doesn’t do that, so every time I want to watch TV, I have to use the supplied remote to manually switch the source to HDMI for TV. Once you do that, the TV or cable box remote is all you need, since the TV recognizes the external speakers and will control the volume.
The sound is very clear, detailed and spacious. And it gets very loud. It has enough watts to fill any normal family room or basement viewing space. The system has great build quality as you’d expect from Samsung. The bass module is hefty but remains lightweight and easy to move and the sound bar is very hefty and will remain in place wherever you place it. It has a great footprint and rubberized bottom feet so once you place it it won’t move. It even comes with wall mounting hardware in the box if you need to mount below your TV. Viewing different audio sources (stereo, 5.1 DTS, etc.) the sound remains crystal clear. You feel as if you have a full surround sound setup. You can select from standard mode, true 5.1 surround and a Game mode. The Game mode really brings out the action and provides crystal clear details when playing games. I wish the bass was a little more noticeable. It has very good albeit subtle bass. Very tight and punchy but not overwhelming. You can adjust the bass level in both mix and level, but I wish it gave just a little bit more. With a good input source and a bass heavy mix it works great, but I’d love to be able to color in some bass when the source isn’t the best, and you really can’t do that. The bluetooth streaming works very well and easily pairs with my bluetooth devices.
All in all the system is a huge improvement over standard TV speakers and will change your home viewing experience for the better.

Nice Speaker, Not So Nice Bass
on March 31, 2018
Posted by: HarvickFan
from Indianapolis, IN
I'll start by saying the speaker is very well built. The build quality is apparent right away. Very hefty and solid. Design is very nice, low profile footprint and has rubberized grips to keep it in place whether you're indoors or out. Controls are very easy to use and are super intuitive. Volume is very nice for a speaker of this size, it easily fills up a room. Overall sound quality was very tight and clean. I'll get to the bass in a minute. The lighting on this unit is very cool, and really does add a bit of flair, even just for some casual listening, but it can also be turned off quite easily when you'd like it to be. I only have one unit, so could not try the multi pairing for party mode, but it can pair up to 100 of these at a time, so if you have more, that is a great feature to have for multi room or large occasions.
Unfortunately for me, the bass on this speaker is lacking. For a speaker of this size, build and most of all price, the bass was simply sub par. Even worse is that "Extra Bass" is advertised as the top feature of the XB41, all over the box and online description. At low volume, sure the bass is very nice, the overall sound is tight, clean and was nice low end. But turn it up to just normal room filing volume, and any amount of bass heavy music like Rock, Pop, Metal or Hip Hop will begin to distort. In order to keep it from distorting, you have to EQ the music to at least flat, in order to increase the volume. I have other speakers in this same size and feature range, and none of them distort bass as badly as the XB41.
If you're looking for a nice, low volume speaker with some flair, this is for you. If you want to enjoy your music at a normal listening volume without distorted bass or having to EQ all the bass away, I would keep looking.

Best Video Doorbell on the Market
on March 21, 2018
Posted by: HarvickFan
from Indianapolis, IN
If you are looking for a video doorbell, this is the one you need to get. I have used other video doorbells and the NEST HELLO is by far the best one I have ever seen.
Installation is extremely easy. Nest Hello needs to be wired in order to stay powered on to deliver 24/7 streaming, so if you don’t have a current wired doorbell, you would have to have the wiring installed by an electrician first. If you have a wired doorbell, chances are it would be compatible with Nest Hello, but the first thing you need to do is make sure. On the Nest website, they have a great compatibility checker and instructions to help you find out if the Hello will work for you. Nest Hello needs to be powered by wires delivering 16- 24 VAC, and at least 10 VA. Once you have confirmed that Hello will work with your wiring, they give you everything in the box to get up and running. If you don’t feel comfortable installing yourself, you can hire a Nest Pro through their website, but honestly installation can be done by anyone that can follow step by step instructions and operate a screwdriver and drill. Nest gives you all the instructions you need, in both a YouTube video and the Nest App. So even if you’re not “handy”, trust me you can install this.
The area where my doorbell is, it sits on a piece of trim that’s very narrow and is right next to brick. Nest includes a 15-degree wedge piece that helps mount the doorbell in tight spots and helps improve the camera angle/view when right next to obstructions. The Hello is much narrower than competing doorbells, so you should have an easy time mounting it just about anywhere. I had the doorbell unboxed and installed in about 45 mins. A lot of that time was spent trying to find the breaker the doorbell wiring was on.
I also have the Nest Outdoor cam, so I already have the Nest app and account. If you don’t, you need to sign up for a Nest account through the Nest app. It’s super fast and easy. In my app I just needed to click “Add Product” and the app did the rest. Walked me through all the installation instructions, and once it recognized the doorbell, it automatically assigned all my Wi-Fi settings to it. I can’t emphasize how simply it was to install.
The video quality is amazing. The video is up to 1600 x 1200 @ 30fps (you can set the video quality to Low/Med/High depending on your preference and bandwidth) and is 4:3 aspect. It is H.264 encoded and has HDR, and has 160 degree field of view. The 4:3 aspect was interesting. I’m used to viewing video through my other cameras at 16:9, but having the 4:3 on the doorbell is perfect. You can see everything. This aspect ratio is perfect for a doorbell camera. I was super impressed with the overall quality of the video. Crystal clear and full of color and sharpness. The night vision is the best I’ve seen on any outdoor camera. The audio is also very clear and bright, and the two way talk works incredibly well.
Notifications are instantaneous when someone pushed the button, and if they don’t and only trigger the motion sensor, the notification still comes to the phone super fast, much faster than I’ve experienced with other doorbells and even some outdoor stand alone wifi cameras. And like with their other cameras, the Hello can be configured with trigger zones of activity in front and around the camera field of view, so you can fine tune when you get notified of activity.
Familiar faces is a game changer. The doorbell will zoom in on the person’s face ringing your doorbell, and then ask you through the app if you recognize them or not. If you do, you can save that face (the doorbell takes a series of facial images in a burst) and name it, so that the next time that same person comes to the door, the app will let you know who is at the door. It is amazing. And if you have Google smart home products like the Google Home, it will announce who is at the door alongside your doorbell chime.
I had been waiting for this doorbell since Google and Nest announced it, and it has not disappointed. It is by far the best video doorbell on the market in my opinion.

Strong Performance, Especially AP Mode !!!
on March 10, 2018
Posted by: HarvickFan
from Indianapolis, IN
I tested this out using a Netgear Orbi Router and Satellite mesh configured system, so my scenario might differ from yours. But the performance of the RE9000 was great. I tested out the wireless performance as a stand alone extender as well as using it in AP mode. I must say, AP mode for the win! But both configurations tested out great. The setup is super quick and easy, as most Linksys products are these days. In under 5 mins after unboxing I had the RE9000 on my network. The spot finder is a great way to make sure you place the extender in the best possible area, as to not be too close to the source and muddy up the bandwidth signals, or too far away and not have it be able to do it's job efficiently. I have a 4000 sq ft home, and I used the RE9000 upstairs while my Orbi router was downstairs, so the range is amazing. Wireless performance was rock solid. Device connections were all strong and speed was very good. I have 1Gbps Comcast service and have well over 25 devices connected at any one time. The RE9000 handled all the traffic great. I ran in both dual band steering mode (2.4/5gHz) and as a stand alone 5gHz AC only mode. The real winner here for me is the AP mode, which is what I will mainly use this unit for. I want to use this as a stand alone 1 Gbps LAN via Ethernet for a subset of devices, and using in AP mode with the Netgear Orbi was awesome. Even wireless was stronger than my Orbi satellite. I was pulling in 400-500 Mpbs download with ease on my Galaxy Note 8.
If you need a powerhouse extender for either wireless or LAN AP extension, this RE9000 will do the trick with ease.

Take security videos efficiently and simply with the Ring Stick Up Cam. The green-conscious rechargeable battery renders 6-12 months of battery life between recharges, while infrared LEDs let you operate this camera during the day or night. The secure quick-release mount adds to the installation ease of the Ring Stick Up Cam.

This camera is Great, except the actual video!
By Jason
I love everything about this camera. From the form and function to the ease of setup (less than 2 mins) to mounting it wherever I want. The app is great, the two way communication is great. The motion zones work perfectly once you get used to setting them based on your environment and traffic, etc. The cloud storage option is amazing considering what you get for the price you pay. Everything is amazing, except the actual video quality of the camera. It's supposed to be 720p. It is not, at least not the unit that I have. My video quality is so heavily pixelated most of the time, that it renders having this camera in the first place, useless. The image attached to this review is an completely unedited screen grab from a recent video recording. I've been working with the Ring support, and they have been great, however they kept almost insisting that the reason for the pixelation was due to my wi-fi connection. I have Xfinity cable internet with 100mbps downstream and 25mbps upstream, and I use a Linksys EA9500 router that is about 12-15 feet from where the camera is mounted. Wi-fi signal is not the issue at all. I exchanged speed test screen shots and other details with the Ring support, and after discussing with them they have advised me to return this unit and exchange it for another one. They have looked at my videos and agree the video quality should be better than what I'm seeing. So I will do that and update this review if I do see better results with the new unit. Wish me luck!
UPDATE
June 19, 2016
So I returned the previous unit and exchanged for a new one, at the advice of the Ring support team. The new unit is up and running and I can say the video is better. So far so good!

Does this have simultaneous 2-way audio, or do you have to press a button to talk? I have the August doorbell and you have to push to talk and it works terribly.

You can hear all the audio from outside, but to talk to someone through the doorbell you do have to push the Talk button in the app. But it works incredibly well.

I just move to a new house and don't have pre existing doorbell. How can I get this install?

The Nest Hello needs to be installed using existing powered doorbell wiring. If you don't have an existing doorbell, you would need to contact an Electrician to have the wiring installed.
