Flawless wireless connectivity
on October 28, 2018
Posted by: Bootleg89
from Chicago/NW Suburbs, IL
I absolutely love this wireless sub kit as it has opened the door for optimal sub placement. Before I was limited to the sub placement in conjunction with my receiver location and length of sub cable. But this allows me to find the perfect spot to locate my sub and now I have the best booming lows I have ever had.
The first thing you need to keep in mind is that you will need a sub with WA outputs on the back. I believe this is a proprietary feature only with Klipsch. You connect one end to the sub and power it, you then connect the other piece to the amp and power. You can now enjoy wireless freedom of you sub placement.
I took my sub and ran it on an extension cord and put it in all different locations of my home theater room while going back to the main seating to hear where it sounded best. Once you find the optimal location you can leave it there and have the best spot for your sub. I cannot stress enough how important sub placement is.
I love this kit and suggest getting it if you are serious about your home theater lows.

Solid performance, excellent sound
on October 28, 2018
Posted by: Bootleg89
from Chicago/NW Suburbs, IL
These speakers work great in a home theater and for hi-fi audio by themselves. I tried them in both applications for this review.
I originally had them hooked up to my surround sound with the matching Klipsch towers, center, and Atmos surrounds. These output the rear channel perfectly. You can hear every minor surround detail. These work effortlessly. I feel the most bang for the buck is when used alone for stereo sound.
I had them replace some old Bose bookshelf speakers in my "man cave". These sound so good, that I decided to leave them there rather than pair with the home theater. They have brilliant sound that fills the room and have crisp highs and nice steady lows.
You can tell these speakers are of the highest quality and I would highly recommend them to anyone who has a use for premium bookshelf speakers, make this pick.

Fantastic receiver with disappointing network link
on October 28, 2018
Posted by: Bootleg89
from Chicago/NW Suburbs, IL
This is a really nice receiver, very high end. It looks and feels like a top of the line receiver. Right out of the box you will be very happy.
It is easy to connect your cables if you know where everything goes. I use banana plugs so i can just plug the speakers right in along with my HDMI cables and optical audio cable. I also plugged my antenna cables and was good to go.
Setup can be done manually through the on board display or via the easiest method, via HDMI to the TV. The menus are very easy to follow and in a short few minutes I had the basic features like network and speaker configurations setup. You can then go into some advanced features like hooking up the mic to calibrate the speakers and setting up Dolby Atmos. In less than a half hour I feel I was 100% ready to rock.
Home theater on this receiver is excellent. It is easy to use and puts out plenty of power for your speaker setup.It also has the dual source zones where you can setup speakers in another room and feed them a completely separate source from the receiver.
You can download a remote control app from Pioneer that is supposed to let you access all of the features of the receiver from you mobile phone. This app falls short along with the network capabilities of the receiver.
The network features of this receiver is very frustrating. Sometimes it fails to connect, and when using the app it becomes even more frustrating. When you launch the internet apps, such as Pandora, you have to select a station every single time. In almost any other streaming device I own the app will launch with the last station I played. This allows for a "quick launch" of music, which this does not do. Also, when trying to push music from my phone to the receiver, there is a long delay. This is not a major issue, but a small nuisance rather.n Perhaps the most frustrating thing I noticed when pushing music from my phone, the music will just stop playing for no reason. This is probably the most frustrating thing about the receiver. I love all of the music stored on my phone and this receiver does not make it easy to play it through the network.
Overall the receiver is very nice and it puts out so much power with so many features. It decodes Dolby beautifully for movies and cranks out music perfectly. Just be prepared to put up with some annoying issues with it's network connectivity.

The R-115SW subwoofer is the perfect combination of power, sophisticated and heart-pounding bass. Packing a serious punch, the R-115SW will not only wake your neighbors, it'll piss them off. The way only Klipsch can.

WOW!! Best Sub Ever!
on October 17, 2018
Posted by: Bootleg89
from Chicago/NW Suburbs, IL
Within the past year I have upgraded from a 10" sub, to a 12" sub and now to this 15" sub. I know that bigger is better but that doesn't even begin to describe this sub. It has booming bass but is also crystal clear and just muddy bass.
First things first...this sub is huge! It is a very large cabinet and it is very heavy. I hooked it up to my receiver with no issues. I am using the Klipsch wireless sub woofer kit. This works flawlessly functionality wise.
I also noticed that the clarity of the bass is different than that of any other I have ever had. I used to have Polk subs but this Klipsch blows them away in every possible way.
The lows in my movies is where this sub really shines. The bass makes you feel like you are at the movies, not like my old woofer that just "pounded". This has so many different levels of bass it is just a totally different experience.
This sub will change your entire home theater experience for the better. I cannot recommend this enough. Spend the money, it is worth every penny!

Best wireless earbuds I have
on October 5, 2018
Posted by: Bootleg89
from Chicago/NW Suburbs, IL
I have tried a few wireless earbuds and they all vary in functionality and quality. These happen to be the best overall earbuds I have used.
The quality of the earbuds are very high right out of the box. Plantronics ear pieces are typically very high quality and these are no exception.
I powered them up and paired them up right away. Both earbuds worked right away with no issues. When you dock them in their charging case they power off. Then when you remove them they both pair with your device instantly. There have been no issues with this process so far.
The battery life of these is very good. They have lasted me easily over 4 hours. This is more than enough for basic workouts or even long jogs.
The comfort level of these sport earbuds are perfect. I have absolutely no complaints about comfort or fit. They wrap around the ear for a secure fit as well. I don't have to worry about them falling out or me losing them.
The connection stability is very good, sometimes can get choppy but way better than the other wireless earbuds I use.
Overall I really like these sport earbuds and they feel like they will last me a very long time.

Awesome value - Must Buy
on October 2, 2018
Posted by: Bootleg89
from Chicago/NW Suburbs, IL
I am an avid Firestick user and love that Best Buy sells a budget friendly 4K TV with the Fire TV built in.
The TV is very light and was very easy to mount. That was the first thing I liked about this TV. I was able to have it mounted in about 15 minutes.
I then setup the TV and registered it to my Amazon account. No different then setting up a Firestick or Fire TV. I then watched a few minute long video and was up and ready to go.
The TV works perfect and the features are really nice for the price. The only difference on the TV interface and that of a Fire device is the addition of sources (HDMI) and live TV mode. Very easy to use. You can navigate the home screen very easily with the remote. I also love the feel of the remote, bigger than a regular Fire device with quick launch buttons for 4 different apps like Netflix.
I then connected the TV to my Echo Dot from my bedroom. Now i can simply give voice commands to Alexa and she will control the TV. Not an absolute necessity but still very cool. The only thing is you have to call the device "Fire TV" for it to work, even if you give the TV it's own name in the Alexa app. You can turn the TV on and off and even just tell Alexa to open a show/movie from Netflix and it will go right to it. Very nice.
The picture quality is also very good, a huge upgrade from my other bedroom TV which was 1080p. The speakers are even louder than the Sony TV in which it replaced.
So far I have zero complaints about this TV and it will serve me well in my bedroom with all of the features I want at a rock bottom price. Love it!

UE Speakers are the best
on September 20, 2018
Posted by: Bootleg89
from Chicago/NW Suburbs, IL
There is nothing not to like about these speakers. They have great battery life, beautiful sound, and stand up to any element.
I already have the Wonderboom so I could not wait to get this Megaboom. Right out of the box this speaker looks and feels great. Very high quality.
Once paired I cranked the volume while on my patio. Awesome around! I love this thing!
It has been pouring in Chicago for the past few days and I don't have to worry about this getting wet as it is extremely waterproof.
Overall I give this speaker a 10 out of 10.

Life saver!!

from Chicago/NW Suburbs, IL
I have really been wanting to get a battery backup for my home internet devices but have been reluctant to pull the trigger. When I saw this model I was convinced due to all of its features.
The first thing I liked was how many outlets this had. I also liked how may watts it put out while running on battery.
Once I unpacked this I had to connect the battery via a connector they leave unplugged in shipping. Very easy.
Then I plugged in my Comcast modem, d link router, Xfinity home router, and Arlo Hub.
I then unplugged the battery backup and watched as all of my home communication didn't miss a beat! My internet and home security devices all up and running. Fantastic!
This will help me during power outages in the summer and when I do home improvement projects where I open my breakers to kill power.
This battery backup also offers surge protection which is an added plus.
Love this ❤

Works great believe it or not!

These speakers are an alternative to installing ceiling mounted speakers to achieve Dolby Atmos Surround Sound. They are to be place on a flat surface and are designed to reflect sound off of the ceiling from below. They actually work.
I had just upgraded my AV receiver to a new Dolby Atmos network receiver and could not wait to try these. I already had a 4K Blue-Ray player and could not wait to try Spiderman Homecoming. So I found a nice spot on my TV Console to place them and had them connected fast.
My receiver detected the speaker config with a quick auto calibration and I was watching the movie shortly after. WOW! The flying scenes with Spiderman leaping in from above really demonstrated the sound from the ceiling. The speakers actually reflect the sound well and I was very impressed. I actually sat and watched the entire movie despite having watched it several times before, just to pay attention to the newly achieved surround sound.
I highly recommend these speakers if you want Dolby Atmos without breaking the bank on a ceiling mounted speaker installation.

Necessary accessory for any newer iPhone.
on July 8, 2018
Posted by: Bootleg89
from Chicago/NW Suburbs, IL
I did not even realize that this product existed or that I even needed it until I discovered it at Best Buy. I have not had a headphone jack since my iPhone 7 and have been using adapters in my car since it does not have Bluetooth. After purchasing this I can now connect my phone to my car radio via auxiliary and can just leave this cable in the car.
The cable is very durable and feels high quality. You can definitely feel the difference between this cable and a cable you buy online from China.
At first I was a little disappointed that iPhone got rid of the headphone port but now I am used to it. This aux cable comes in extremely handy and clutch.

I'm a runner in the market for new buds. Will these stay in during a rigorous workout?

I would not risk running with these buds. They are a little bulky and have a rubber "band" that is supposed to help seal in the ear, but can also push the bud out a little. I would recommend the Plantronics Backbeat Fit ear buds.

Simplify security at your home or business with this Yale Assure satin nickel touchscreen smart lock. The touchscreen design makes interacting easy, and the option for automatic unlocking when you approach with your phone adds convenience. This Yale Assure satin nickel touchscreen smart lock employs Wi-Fi connectivity for adjusting settings remotely.
 

Do I have to have a “smart” home to use this lock? Or can I simply install it and download an app to control Access?

Your question sort of contradicts itself as using an app to control something is essentially a "smart" home function. You can use the lock without connecting to the internet and use as a simple push code lock. But for that then spend less money and buy one without the internet accessibility. Once this lock is setup you can connect it to your home network and control it using the August app if you wish. You can also integrate it into an even "smarter" home by adding the Connect bridge and using it with Google Home, Alexa, etc. Hope this answers your question.
