Sony never dissapoints
on October 17, 2018
Posted by: Tony90703
from Dallas, TX
Sony is never the "low cost" alternative, but you get what you pay for. This speaker is simple to connect, clear sights and booming bass. The party lights are a nice touch
About the size of a bowling ball, but obviously much lighter
Love this for gym workouts and simple get together - fills the room with a balanced sound
Pay a little more, and receive much in return

Jaybird Quality
on September 24, 2018
Posted by: Tony90703
from Dallas, TX
Jaybird is known for having quality earphones, and these are no exception
Sound is great, comfort is good, and they last in the most demanding situations - running in the rain
The price point is good, even though they are not truly wireless - they still have a cord

Best at a price point
on September 24, 2018
Posted by: Tony90703
from Dallas, TX
These are the best wireless headphones at this price point
I use them while I run, and they fit comfortably (no ear pain), have a very nice and balanced sound, and NEVER fall-out
The best part is that they are relatively cheaper than the famous brands
Could not be happier, and I will keep coming back

Nice

Posted by: Tony90703
from Dallas, TX
Packaging: Packaging was simple but effective. Very easy to open and assure all parts were present

Instructions: Small pamphlet that is a bit confusing but if you have used Bluetooth devices before it is easy enough to figure out

Case: Case is sturdy, small and well made. Has a snap lock that keeps the case from opening when in your bag or pocket. Uses usb mini to charge. Would have liked to see usb C since that seems to be where the standard is heading.

Headphones: Well-made and sturdy. Sound quality is good but not exceptional. Is perfect for someone like me that listens to rock when running and is not looking to identify individual instruments. As these are made for working out I did not expect much from the phone feature. A little disappointing that phone only works in the left earbud. Well suited for an emergency call but not like my Jabra 65t’s that I can wear all day on the phone.

Accessories: Comes with a small pouch for the case to attach to a belt or bag. Nice addon that I use more on my bag than when I am running. I rarely run more than one hour. Ear tips are included and they add a flow through tip for ambient noise to get through. Definitely degrades sound quality but is a nice add if you are running in populated areas. Would have liked to have seen some foam tips included. Only one size of hooks comes with the earpiece however it fit my ear perfectly. May be an issue if you have small ears.

Bluetooth: If you are familiar with most truly wireless earbuds you know that in most cases they will be patchy when running. These buds are no different. I am a little disappointed at this price range they have not upgraded to BT 5 or higher. When I use my running app and sports watch there is definite flickering. I run with my phone in a zippered mesh pouch around my waist on my back. I am sure this would improve if you used an armband but as I have an iPhone 8+ it is like running with a solar panel on my arm. When not running and not using multiple devices the Bluetooth connectivity was better than average.

Overall a good solid pair of earbuds but at this price range there is a lot of competition.

Experience immersive Dolby Atmos sound through a single device with this Sony sound bar. It connects to your TV wirelessly or with an HDMI cable, and it pairs with Bluetooth devices for audio streaming. This Sony sound bar includes the Vertical Sound Engine, which eliminates the need for ceiling-mounted speakers.

SWEET!

Got this for my Sony 4K TV. The TV is set high up on the wall, and the volume was had to hear unless it was blasted
The sounder was very easy to install and both the sounder & sub connected easily bluetooth to the TV
Now whenever the TV comes on, the external speakers start and connect automatically
My only wish is that I installed the sounder directly under the TV (3" gap) so no wires would be visible

I got two (2) of these to connect to my Sony TV. My TV is set high on the wall, and volume control was difficult. Too low and I could not hear the dialogue. If I could hear the dialogue, the action scenes were too loud
After combing the Sony site, I figured out how to sync the speaker to the TV using bluetooth, then tethered the speakers
Now when I turn on the speakers, the TV auto switches (and back when off) providing clear sound and dialogue without overpowering us
The speakers are nice and discrete, great highs and lows and provide plenty of volume to satisfy everyone in the family

Kinda good
on December 20, 2017
Posted by: Tony90703
from Dallas, TX
This is a mixed review -
While this is a Hue product, it does everything that the rest of the Hue line does. Links to the bridge, remote dim and brighten, and will connect to the Phillip's products such as motion detectors to automate. It comes with a standard white Hue bulb, so don't expect colors right from the box (but you can switch it out)
What you see is really what you get - a lampshade with a bulb and a cord. No stand, no mount, and very limited ability do do anything but to set it onto a table
I set this up on my workbench in the garage along with a Hue motion detector. It does what it is supposed to, but just looks incomplete. The light comes on when I enter the room, and I set it to turn off after 5 minutes of no motion
If this is what you want, then perfect, otherwise just 3 stars

Bought this on 4/30 for our new house, but installed it on 6/28 (just moved a few days ago)
Once installed, there is a full line of pixels bad. Vertical black line up the screen
Best Buy on-line will not help, so I have to deal with the store. They even gave me the Sony number to deal with them. Currently an extended hold with Geek Squad
Given Best Buys size, their customer service is now nonexistent
Sorry Best Buy - I just made my last purchase with you - you lost me as a customer

Tried your reset
June 29, 2017
Still got the line on the screen
I know that you can not make a perfect product every time, but I have owned six (6) Sony XBRs over 25 years and never had an issue. I WAS a loyal and faithful TV, MP3, Vaio, etc. consumer
Sony is sending me a new one (with my credit card on file), but I will be required to pay (again) for someone to take the old (defective one) down, and replace it with the new one
I will be out another $100 (or more) because of your defect. TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE
Your problems/defects should not be costing me more money
There was a time when we did not have options. If we wanted a high end TV, Sony was all that there was
Now there is LG, and Samsung that are cheaper and more feature rich. I will find out how they treat their customers, since this replacement, I will not be buying Sony again
Sony - you have lost me as a customer

Who’s in the garden? Are the kids doing their homework yet? Nest Cam is wire-free, so it goes almost anywhere, outside or in. It knows the difference between people, animals, and vehicles, so you can get the alerts that are important to you. Listen and speak through the camera right from the Google Home app. Check in anytime with 24/7 live view.* If you miss a notification, you can always go back and see what happened with 3 hours of free event video history.* And it’s easy to install yourself – no outlet or wires required. Nest Camera Battery requires the Google Home app and a Google Account – it’s not compatible with the Nest app or the home.nest.com site. *** Stand and cable sold separately
 

Nest! Please! Why are you so stubborn? Existing owners of your products (cameras, thermostats, protects, doorbells) want a single screen like we have in the nest app, where we can see ALL of our Nest products as soon as we open the app. We implore you!

I agree

Spoke to Google and the new products are no longer compatible with the Nest app

I personally like the tiles to view them all and scroll

This is a game changer, and will change my decision to continue with Nest/Google

We have options now

I wanted to know if this is compatible with my A/V surround sound receiver ? I currently have the 3 HDMI input plugged into my A/V receiver and then out to my TV. Where would I put this box in this configuration to use it properly ? Thanks for the help
