Atmos comes alive
on June 9, 2018
Posted by: fargofar
from Athens, ga
I first tested the soundbar which sounded great but couldn't tell if Atmos was working or not.
The sound bar comes with a demo disk. I played it twice to make sure. Then I added the rear channel speakers.
Once plugged in they connected to soundbar automatically. Can't get any easier than that.
Once operational I restarted the demo and again played it twice. Atmos is nothing short of amazing. The remote has volume control for the subwoofer, rear speakers, and soundbar.
I turned the volume all the way up on the rear speakers. When gaming on my Xbox One X that has games that support Atmos. It is fantastic how sounds from all around can be heard. It has a tually helped my gaming. Movies sound like I'm in a theater. This is a great setup.

I received the sound and out of the box it was easy to set up. I have a Sony 4k TV with an Xbox One X (X1X) and a Sony Playstation 4 Pro. The X1X has a built in 4k player as well as 4k streaming and gaming. The PS4Pro is rather limited in this regard. The X1X fully supports Atmos while the PS4Pro can but takes some knowing how to setup the sound and doesn't directly support Atmos.
The sound bar has 2 HDMI inputs which is great as both are plugged into it. Both the X1X and PS4Pro can turn the TV and sound bar on and off.
I pretty much use the X1X for this. The sound bar comes with it own demo disk. While the sound bar does sound amazing but I had trouble distinguishing between stereo and Atmos. As part of this test I was also giving the rear channel speakers. I will add a review for those on their product page. I will say that once I added the rear speakers Atmos came to life.
X1X also has a few games that support Atmos with more coming which is amazing. I like playing a game and being able to hear where something is. No games for the PS4Pro. Have to wait for the PS5 before that will happen.
This soundbar sounds amazing to say the least. They make even the most mundane game sound EPIC beyond what it has any right to. That said I am disappointed that the soundbar by itself does not seem to give Atmos performance. It is still a great setup.

Finished mopping
on April 22, 2018
Posted by: fargofar
from Athens, ga
I received this to review. I have 2 dogs and 2 cats. Cleaning up with 4 animals that shed and go in and out of the house tracking in dirt is no easy task. This mutlisurface cleaner was easy to setup and use. Maybe 10 mins of setup. Most of my home is laminate so this seemed like a good product for my house just from reading what its use is for. I thankfully was correct. I had mopped and swept the floor before I used this cleaner as I wasn't sure how good it would work. It found dirt and hair that apparently the broom and mop left behind. Now I will probably still sweep first as 4 animals shed an awful lot. Once you finish using it cleanup is incredibly easy. They designed this with little thought on our part to clean the floors and the cleaner itself. I definitely recommend cleaning it every time. I'm glad I came across this machine it has made my house so much cleaner.its worth the money in my opinion. I am including a picture of the dirt and hair I thought I had already cleaned before I used it.

This Mohu Sail antenna has a FirstStage amplifier located right at the antenna, where the signal is at its best to help deliver a crisp, clear picture.

I never had heard of this brand of antenna before receiving this one. The antenna is larger than I thought it would be but it's very light weight. Hookup was easy and all I had to do was find a place to use it. I'm using it indoors but it can be used outside. I might try that someday if I want to purchase more coax. I don't watch much TV but there are quite a few channels to select from. The picture is clear and the sound is good. It's one of the better antennas I've ever had. For me I don't subscribe to cable so this is a welcome addition to my TV when j want to watch the news or some show.

Take the party anywhere with this Sony portable speaker. It's safe to use at the pool or beach thanks to an IP67 rating that allows total water immersion, and flashing lights add mood to the music. This Sony portable speaker's Extra Bass keeps things pumping, and the Live Sound feature provides three-dimensional audio.

So I received this speaker to review. Let me get what I don't like about it out of the way. There are 2 apps to install on your phone. I recomend the Sony music app. The other is called fiestable. This app use only if you want to use all the features built in. Fiestable is a gimmick at best. I can almost guarantee the Sony engineers didn't use a DJ in the design process. Another gimmick feature that is just wrong is the party feature in which you can hold the speaker while dancing and hit it like a tambourine. The speaker is to heavy and bulky for that. There was no thought process in the design for this feature.
Ok enough bashing. The speaker is amazing. Plan and simple. It can connect with up to 100 other speakers for party mode. I tested this with the XB21 and it works flawlessly. I could not get it to connect with any other speaker. Another gimmick this speaker has is the lights. I like them but they are unnecessary. If you have 100 of these speakers connected for a party however it can really light up the area. The sounds are rich and loud. The battery lasts 24hrs just like it states. It's the loudest and longest lasting portable speaker I've tried. I diffenitly recommend this speaker. I also recommend Sony hire a DJ to help redesign their apps.

Take your tunes along with this Sony portable speaker. Wireless Bluetooth connectivity lets you pair it with smartphones, tablets and laptops, and up to 12 hours of battery life ensures long-lasting sound. The Extra Bass feature on the Live Sound mode and built-in sound effects make this Sony portable speaker the life of the party.

The sound quality is good and not very loud. There is an even bass, mids, and highs. You definitely want to install the Sony app for your phone before you connect via Bluetooth. One thing I really like is that the app allows you to add up to 100 speakers. I've tried this but could only get the xb41 to connect. I tried a JBL, a Bose, and a Sony sound bar built last year. So the app is limited in that regard. I would like it better if I could add any Bluetooth speaker to the party. It's still a good speaker however with good sound quality.

Out of the box there is not much to setup. Simply remove all the tape and plastic. Plug it in and whatever it is that you want to use for viewing enjoyment. I plugged in my Xbox one and played some games. The was now blur or lag throughout the any of the games. I watched the newest Thor movie and the colors were vivid. There is a built in speaker. It's not much of one. Ij recommend a sound bar at least. It's not very loud. Still though having a very large screen to play game and watch movies is rather enjoyable. There is no Wi-Fi built which is rather disappointing. In today's world that's a must. You can purchase a Wi-Fi dongle but it's expensive. Probably better to use a game counsel, roku, Chromecast, or apple tv to name a few.

I received this for review. The setup and i installation put of the box was easy. Everything is wireless. The base station uses cellular tech but can also be connected to your Wi-Fi which I did. There is mounting hardware for the keypad if you so choose or you can simply use the sticky tape which I did. The sensors only use sticky tape. The sensors are wireless. So there is no need to run cable throughout your house which is nice. The sensor and magnets can be approximately 2in apart. There is a two tier package. Just to add the app feature you have to pay more which is pricey. However they say you can add a camera later if you so choose and not pay more. Still for peace of mind it is a nice option as you can get notifications whenever something changes or happens. I have 2 dogs and 2 cats. The motion sensors did not sense them. That's good cause I don't need called or a push notification that one of them is found moving. I'm still getting use to it but it is a fairly simple system to use.

I received these for review and out of the box they were just like any other head phones. The sound is good and probably great. I say probably because I've changed the ear price and they don't seem to fit me very well. They also let environmental sound pass through. Not sure if that's intentional or not. The battery life is great as I work a nine hour shift and never had to recharge them. Sony from what I've reviewed in the past has finally added a rubber"spring" to help the ear buds stay in. The problem is they go in the ear canal with the buds. They felt weird the entire time I wore them. I normally like Sony product as I've purchased a Sony 4k, ps4pro, and sound bar from best buy that I enjoy very much. These headphones were a let done.

I have the AC4500 so when I was offered this product for review I had to jump on it. Out of the box it was easy and simple to setup. I chose the web setup vs pressing the WPS button. The only problem I had, and it's not really a problem at all, is that I would have liked to have been able to use the app to set this up. Once it was connected to the network it gave me an optimum or peak performance status bar so that I could move the bridge to a better location. I have a half acre plot of land and I can now walk my property and receive Wi-Fi with great speed.

Music stands out with this blue Sony XB Bluetooth speaker. Its LDAC technology processes three times more data than Bluetooth audio to let you enjoy the full quality of high-resolution music formats. The single-colored line light of this IPX5 water-resistant Sony XB Bluetooth speaker adds visual style to your music.
I have a SiriusXM Onyx Plus that doesn't have a volume control or Bluetooth. Once I connect the AUX cable, will I be able to adjust the volume on the speaker?
As long as the speaker has volume control you should.
