Best to Run/Workout in
on August 20, 2016

Verified Purchase:Yes
I have had all types of beats: studio, solo, solo 2, pro wireless, and ur beats. As far as stability and comfort while working out, this model takes the cake and are far superior for vigorous exercise. Sound quality is a 8.5/10 where the studio beats would be a 10/10, but where it lacks in sound it makes up in overall comfort and stability.
The look of this model also adds to the overall quality. I fell in love with the Bluetooth and other capaoblities the power eats 2 supplies. If you are looking a perfect piece of audiowear for working out in, look no further than these.

Great Buy - HDR 10 update here
on August 12, 2016
Posted by: JRod
Verified Purchase:Yes
First of all let me start off by saying how much value this television option has. You have 4K ultra high definition, HDR10 & Dolbyvision capabilities, not to mention you have a tablet for a remote. Never gave a felt so happy to turn on a tv in my entire life from a remote.
That's not to say that there is not any issues. The only major gripe I have about this model is that HDR10 does not come standard, so all those 4K movies or shows you would like to watch are not to their full potential because the firmware is not updated. I've called Vizio directly and they have confirmed that yes, the firmware update is available, but only to a small portion of the owners of this tv. I have had this television now for 4 weeks and have tried to get the update for about a week and a half. I am still waiting... patiently.
If you already have a 4K tv I would have to tell you to upgrade to a HDR supported device simply because the screen is far more radiant and lively on every channel, show, and video game.
Aside from the firmware upgrade there really are now weaknesses to this tv. Granted it's not a LG OLED, but you are also not dishing over 4K is dollars. Great tv and very satisfied with this purchase.

I was kind of bummed out that I could not place the speakers behind me because the wires included were not long enough and that it says wireless on it and it really was not the wireless I imagined. Having said that, the speakers do add to the overall quality of sound and are essential to watch and listen to your favorite games, movies, or shows. Still a great product by a great brand.

Watch with your ears smiling

Verified Purchase:Yes
I never was a true believer of how much surround sound impacted my entertainment system until I finally moved out of my parents and purchased one on my own. Since then I have bought complementary features to the speakers. The subwoofers don't have a disconcerting "thump" like in trucks or cars, but a smoother elegant wave of deep sounds. I love this system, it is easy to use, easy to access, and easy to set up. The best part is the actual speakers where everything suddenly sounds more crisp and clear compared to no system at all. By far the best $300 I've spent on sound system gear.

Best Multiplayer Game Put Right Now
on June 17, 2016
Posted by: JRod
Verified Purchase:Yes
Each character has their strengths and weaknesses, and depending on the setting, you'll need to maneuver their traits in a tactical and skillful way. It's as much a first person shooter than it is a strategy game. Take for example Lucio - he is a medic that heals and self-heals at a rate that is determined on movement with your team. You can flip his trait to either be a medic or you can switch to a more speedy version of homself that fires faster and moves quicker. Speed is a huge advatage in this game. It is a difference maker when you are in a tight picked after a firefight, or when you defeated foes and need health quickly. Then there is Bastian a robot that transforms to a Gatling gun that is stationary from a moving highly effective 20 round machine gun. Being stationary has its advantages and disadvantages because it's very powerful, but your enemies can gang up on you to disturb your path of destruction.
These are just two characters out of 21 and each of these ecelctic heroes comes their benefits and weak points. Once you master a particular player something inside pushes you to master another. Then, winning is the last thing left to do.

With the stakes much more personal, Drake embarks on a globe-trotting journey in pursuit of a historical conspiracy behind a fabled pirate treasure. His greatest adventure will test his physical limits, his resolve, and ultimately what he's willing to sacrifice to save the ones he loves.

Not only is Uncharted 4 cinematically stunning, it is probably the best, and most polished game I have ever played in my 27 years on Earth. Gameplay is familiar, but that is not to say it is bland. You will be doing new things you never got to do in past Uncharted games. I do not want to spoil you the details of what is added, so I will let you find out for yourself. All I can say is that the game is expansive and not as linear as previous games. By far, the art is the game is sensational! Developer Naughty Dog has had its hands full in the office with all the management moves, but the overall product is captivating and awe-inspiring. You will also appreciate some of the homages it pays to early Naughty Dog games. AMAZING. Even the epilogue is fun to play.

A tremendous band of badass heroes fight to protect the universe's very last star from a mysterious evil in this next-gen shooter by the creators of Borderlands. To defend it, you'll need to utilize every type of character and weapon you've ever imagined — from cyborg hawkmen to samurai vampires to mini-gun wielding man-mountains. Slash and parry, run and gun, cast and dash, or simply obliterate foes all while building and growing your personal team of heroes. Choose your hero and fight alone or co-operatively alongside friends in story missions, or battle against them in fast-paced competitive multiplayer matches.

That's right 5 stars and it's because in this day and age, we have accepted not being able to play with people in couch co-op. We that grew up in the early 1990's know that almost every cool game was 1-2 player. The times have shifted, but this game res urges old feelings of both unity and function. My girlfriend and I play online all the time and we both level up at the same time. The only thing that I had an issue with was unlocking the first few playable characters after the prologue for my girlfriend. This is only a minor gripe as there is a lot of things to unlock like new characters, abilities, and appearances. In order to fully appreciate this title, one would need to have a person to play with at home against the minions that you'll have to overcome. Boss battles are amazing and gameplay is rewarding. A must have!

Easily one of the best RPG games that you will ever play and come across in the next few years. The graphics are astounding, especially when you peer off in to the far distances to spectate the gorgeous vistas. The gameplay is easy to pick up, but do not get me wrong, this game is HARD. You will be frustrated, furious, and enraged, but in the next second feel euphoria, glory, and accomplishment. I beat the game approximately in about a month. Usually, I beat games within a 2-7 day timeframe, so this lasted me about four times longer than the usual game. Even though there I beat the game, I still wanted to keep playing and beat the game with another build; however, I decided to trade in my game. The urge was still there though.

From Remedy Entertainment, the masters of cinematic action games, comes a time-amplified suspenseful blockbuster. Time is your greatest weapon as the end of time threatens. An intense and thrilling storyline brought to life in a way never done before by fusing gameplay and a gripping live action show.

Great storytelling; Great Game

Verified Purchase:Yes
I wish I can give it a 5 start rating because I feel in some respects it deserves it. Cinematically and graphically this may be the best looking game on the XBOX One, and as an exclusive, we are lucky to have only for XBOX owners. The campaign is somewhat short, but that still should not takeaway from what was accomplished. The 4 real action drama series is pretty good, and it gave the game more heart and soul to the characters themselves. I was impressed with the talent level Microsoft was able to harness. Shawn Ashmore and Aiden Guilleb were the absolute standout and developer Remedy nailed the presentation. The game is a great game, and hopefully there will be more developers to experiment how remedy has. The gameplay was so much fun, I couldn't put down the controller unless there was a natural disaster happening. I just wanted to keep playing and learn more about the story and what will happen with the ending. The degree of difficulty is fairly easy, but this is more of a cinematic game anyway. I knew what I was buying.

Immerse yourself in the world of baseball with MLB The Show for PS4.

MLB The Show 16 features several gaming modes to choose from, including franchise mode, conquest mode and battle royale mode.

MLB: The Show hits a homerun! The franchise has never looked, fueled, or played better. The attention to detail Dan Diego Studios puts in to their games are second to none. There is a reason why The Show is the only MLB Franchise for gaming. There is even a "Boost" type of pitch that allows for you to choose the exact location of your pitch. Some call it cheating, I call it fun. There is a limited amount of "Boost" that you can use, and it does not include online play.
All in all, I love the game and franchise.
