finishing the last of their regular season schedules. That means March Madness
is soon to begin. Which also means that it’s time for our annual Headphone
Shootout. While teams in March Madness are ranked into seeds, products such as
headphones are given prices. But just as with March Madness, sometime products
perform better than their price points. We’ll see how this year’s Shootout
turns out. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">As usual, this years Headphone Shootout is divided into two
parts: the over the ears, and the second part is the In-Ear Monitors. This year
the over the ears will be first. It includes the following models: Phiaton 900
Legacy + at $249 MSRP, Beyerdynamic MMX 200 Wireless, with a $249 MSRP, JBL
Tour One M2 at $299 MSRP, Viwone Pure + with a $349 MSRP, and last but not
least PSB M4U 9 with a MSRP of $499. We will start at the lowest price point
and work our way up. Through this we will also see what is received as we move
up in price point.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">The Phiaton 900 Legacy + came in a great looking color
printed box with photos and specs of the headphones. Opening the box revealed a
well-protected headphone held in place in a nice zippered hard case. Materials
used in the construction was mostly plastic, earpads were leatherette and foam.
Quality of materials used, as well as fit and finish, were good. Also included
was the zippered hard case, charging cable, audio cable, and user manual.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">The Phiaton 900 Legacy + employs a good bang for the buck
design. While you get leatherette with basic foam in the earcups, you do get
Active Noise Cancelling, and touch controls on the outside of the earcup. There
are also hard buttons for power and Active Noise Cancellation. And while they
are light weight which can be interpreted as cheap, it seemed sufficiently well
made. And the zippered hard case will help protect it. Let’s see how they
sound.<o:p></o:p></p>

bass was really deep and played with authority. Hi hat was crisp and clean.
Piano sounded sufficiently natural. Violins were smooth with the bow going
across the strings. Trumpet was dynamic, clean and very good resolution of the
tone, as was the trombone. Imaging was good, and soundstage was both wide with
noticeable depth.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Guns N Roses: Patience – the whistling was silky smooth with
nice harmonics. Acoustic guitar strings were crisp and clean. Vocals were also
smooth with good resolution of the timbre.<o:p></o:p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEin3Nyp7uVeC2H1VlWouecUhGHdRxxcqG2fuP3_9BZon02ijNxxSJX7R4Dv0t39V-d1uLgiyE5ZHMl3R2p6OqUj34bELE5A6AdC9DaAznp8Wzvt1M4WuI-KVwEpQQNujBobXrwtfz_FYFzcbFC575YcTuzTHBd1fy_lylkJRMhXUGcftfWNL210c7yVv0k/s6000/IMG_4531.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="6000" height="133" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEin3Nyp7uVeC2H1VlWouecUhGHdRxxcqG2fuP3_9BZon02ijNxxSJX7R4Dv0t39V-d1uLgiyE5ZHMl3R2p6OqUj34bELE5A6AdC9DaAznp8Wzvt1M4WuI-KVwEpQQNujBobXrwtfz_FYFzcbFC575YcTuzTHBd1fy_lylkJRMhXUGcftfWNL210c7yVv0k/w200-h133/IMG_4531.JPG" width="200" /></a></div>

wireless headphone with ANC and the signature JBL sound. They came in a great

box revealed a well-protected headphone, held in place in a hard zippered case.
The materials used in the construction was mostly plastic, with some metal like

<p class="MsoNormal">I really like the design of the JBL Tour One M2. Not only do
you get the legendary JBL sound, it’s Hi-Res Audio Certified, and has True
Adaptive Noise Cancelling. Other features included are 4 mics for clear phone
conversations, using Smart Talk, and Personal Sound Amplification as well as
Personifi 2.0 which improves the sound based on your person hearing test and
which frequencies need to be boosted. This is controlled though the app, as
well as EQ settings and ANC modes. Now that it’s set-up, let’s see how they
sound.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Nat King Cole: LOVE – Vocals were smooth like honey with
very good resolution of the texture of the timbre. String bass was also smooth
and played both deep and with authority. Piano sounded really natural. Violins
also provided really good resolution, sounded natural with the bow going across
the strings. Trumpet was really dynamic and so crisp and clean as was the
trombone. Imaging was really good. And the soundstage was not just really wide but
had good depth as well.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">The Viwone Pure + has a pretty cool design. Not only is it
wireless, it has 64 GB of wireless storage. That means you don’t need a source
for your music. Gym people, for example, can keep all their stuff in their
locker while working out, and only bring your headphones. So for source
material, there are options of internal memory, Bluetooth to your phone, or the
Viwone app. Another unique feature is the audio ports. It has an input so you
can listen to them wired if you run out of battery. But it also has an output
so you can share your tunes with someone else. Now that it’s set up, let’s see
how it sounds.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Last but now least is the PSB M4U 9. It came in a nice-looking
color printed box with phots and specs of the headphone. Opening the box
revealed a well-protected headphone held in place by a zippered hard case.
Materials used in the construction is mostly plastic with some metal. The
hinges are metal, for extra durability and longer life. Quality of materials
used as well as fit and finish, were very good. Also included was the zippered
hard case, charging and audio cables, cloth earcups, airline adapter, 1/8”
adaptor, and owner’s manual.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I love the design of the PSB M4U 9. Not only are they Active
Noise Cancelling, upon set-up they do a hearing test of each ear separately.
Once completed, a unique sound signature profile is created. Through the
included app, you can further tailor the sound to your liking. And with Roomfeel,
you can get the similar sound and soundstage of powered stereo hi-end speakers.
Through the app, you can also control the ANC settings, which include a
transparency one, so you can also hear the environment around you. Now that
it’s set up, let’s see how they sound.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">As far as sound signature goes, the Phiaton 900 Legacy+ is
pretty neutral, with good resolution and cuts a few corners on build quality
but gives you a hard zipper case. The Beyerdynamic MMX 200 provides very good
resolution thanks to their studio quality drivers, and has a neutral signature
that’s maybe just a hair on the bright side, yet manages durable construction
with comfortable memory foam for long listening/gamin sessions. JBL’s Tour One
M2 also has a neutral sound signature that maybe just a hair bright, with excellent
resolution especially for their price point, and manages to provide memory foam
for long listening sessions and metal in the hinges where it counts. Viwone’s
Pure+ is also neutral in signature thas maybe just a hair on the warm side,
with very good resolution just a hair behind the JBL but provides built-in
memory for your songs. Lastly the PSB M4U 9 is neutral in sound signature, with
excellent resolution, as well as memory foam and other unique features.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Now for the ANC and Bluetooth range tests. For the range
tests we torture test it well above what it’s rated at, just to know it’s
limits. Testing in my 2 story home with a basement, I set my smartphone in the
basement see how far it’ll go before getting drops. Then I set it out on my
front porch and see how far it’ll go in the open without any thick floors or
walls between us. This tests it’s open air range, again much further than the rated
specs. For ANC, I test it’s performance with a motor running in the background.
This tells me what percentage of motor noise it can cancel. Now let’s see how
they perform.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">For ANC Phiaton worked both with ambient mode and ANC.
Ambient gave good sound of surroundings. ANC removed around 85%. The JBL had
similar performance. Ambient mode worked very well, as did ANC removing around 85%.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>PSB again had similar performance. Ambient
mode worked very good, and ANC removed around 85%.<o:p></o:p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIdplXKvnt8b1VrcYU1mSTzOxVGsT3DBEdt7l69wl8e-VgEJ718YXTlh60MRdyh8KgYZvznEzLjk3ps1tanCWhWOux7fZ_SZRJWgEQAgikqb89mdHlPK7F4WKEjMLeR9nnnFqoEayS8lxoQNME5vESa8vCThK5b7Og2ywvqYYTRNBgesXLS-X9WQnr3aA/s6000/IMG_4588.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="6000" height="133" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIdplXKvnt8b1VrcYU1mSTzOxVGsT3DBEdt7l69wl8e-VgEJ718YXTlh60MRdyh8KgYZvznEzLjk3ps1tanCWhWOux7fZ_SZRJWgEQAgikqb89mdHlPK7F4WKEjMLeR9nnnFqoEayS8lxoQNME5vESa8vCThK5b7Og2ywvqYYTRNBgesXLS-X9WQnr3aA/w200-h133/IMG_4588.JPG" width="200" /></a></div><p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">For Bluetooth, Phiaton had no problems in basement with
multiple walls up to 50 feet. A couple glitches on main floor, but useable. Too
glitchy on the second floor. Outside a little glitchy at 100 feet, usable up to
125.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Beyerdynamic had no problem with
multiple walls in basement and only one single glitch on main floor. 2<sup>nd</sup>
floor had more glitches and was questionable. Outside a single glitch at 125
feet, could have been random as good out to 200 feet. With JBL, starting from
the basement, only 1 glitch on the first floor and actually only 1 on the 2<sup>nd</sup>.
So usable even with all those walls and thick floors between us! Outside was
usable up to 150 feet.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Viwone in the
basement, going through multiple walls in the basement wasn’t a problem. But on
the main floor enough glitches to make it questionable. 2<sup>nd</sup> floor was
too glitchy. Outside it was good up to 100 feet.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Now with PSB, all of the basement walls were
not a problem. But on the main floor it got too glitchy and 2<sup>nd</sup>
floor was the same. Outside it was good to 100 feet.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">All in all, in this year’s over the ear part of our annual
Headphone Shootout, there really wasn’t any surprises. The Phiaton 900 Legacy+
is a good starting point and provides good resolution for its price point. For
the same price the Beyerdynamic MMX 200 loses ANC, but it delivers slightly better
resolution along with use as a gaming headphone and much better build quality.
The slight increase to the JBL Tour One M2 is probably the slight surprise in
this group, providing the quality of sound closer to the PSB then it should at
such a lower price. The sound quality of the Viwone Pure+ is slightly inferior
to the JBL, and also lacks ANC, but does provide the unique features of 64 GB
of internal memory for your tunes. Last but not least the PSB M4U 9 provides
even better sound quality, with some advanced features.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Based on your budget all are good performers. Most also have
unique features, like the Beyerdynamic MMX 200 that doubles as a gaming
headset, the Viwone Pure+ has the built-in 64 GB of memory. And the JBL Tour
One M2 as well as the PSB M4U 9 both has a hearing test through the app to
tailor the sound to your hearing. Based on their design, features, quality, and
performance, the Phiaton 900 Legacy+ has earned our Recommended Award. The
Beyerdynamic MMX 200 and Viwone Pure+ has earned our Highly Recommended award.
And the JBL Tour One M2 and PSB M4U 9 has earned our Editor’s Choice Awards.

I still
don’t like the heat. But if it’s hot outside and you have to be outside, now
you can take the cool air with you. Up for review today is a small air
conditioner from Torras. It’s a wearable air conditioner, the Torras Coolify 3.
MSRP is a fair $369.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">The Torras Coolify 3 came in a great looking color printed
box, with photos and specs of the device. Opening the box revealed a well-protected
device, held in place by custom molded plastic. And it also had a hard zipper
case to protect it. Materials used in the construction was mostly plastic with
some metal and rubber. But the quality of the materials used, as well as the
fit and finish, was excellent. Also included was the charging cable and owner’s
manual.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I love the design of the Torras Coolify 3. It reminds me of
a neck pillow, like you would wear on an airplane, due to its U shape. On each
side is a rubber piece that makes it easy for the two sides to flex, so you can
take it on and off your neck. It has vents that blows air on the top of both
sides and bottom and top of the back.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>These vents blow air down the bottom back of your neck as well as up the
back of your neck and up both sides of your face. The two buttons also work
great and are super easy to learn to turn it on, off, switch between modes, as
well as speeds.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">And while it’s a wearable air conditioner, it’s not just for
cool. It actually has three modes: cool, fan, and heat. Inside there are three
metal pieces that press up against your neck. And on the outside edge is a heat
vent, and air inlets on the sides and back to suck air in. In cool mode, the
metal plates on the inside get cold, and air blows out the top and rear. In fan

<p class="MsoNormal">It's also very easy to see the status of the Torras Coolify
3. On one side there is three LED’s. The first one lights up gentle, the second
lights up normal, and the third one lights up hyper. So you basically have
three strength settings of low, medium and high, with the LED’s showing which
strength setting it’s on. And the LED’s also change color to show which mode
it’s in. For cool mode the LED’s light up blue. In fan mode the LED’s light up
green. And in heat mode they turn orange. On the outside of the other arm is a
series of blue LED’s to show the battery setting: if it is fully charged, or
needs to be recharged. Now that it's fully charged, let’s see how it performs.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p><br /></o:p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqto4tENkQSdC1OKjIjIxZJYvyOMzwx_NCqisiQog6HrRBd4-H81XWFrzeKLvOh6wBeTR99I7qKk5pj9MIAPibUu_mqQh3KRgImDdU7eTkZqB9ZXGoXSyzSwr2XTjpZnpmHIFt6IIGaiAgwEXcqWjMFbR3Kpo7aZtOT_1IuEFYR_xOVlJOix7u6SxHxd8/s6000/IMG_4511.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="6000" height="133" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqto4tENkQSdC1OKjIjIxZJYvyOMzwx_NCqisiQog6HrRBd4-H81XWFrzeKLvOh6wBeTR99I7qKk5pj9MIAPibUu_mqQh3KRgImDdU7eTkZqB9ZXGoXSyzSwr2XTjpZnpmHIFt6IIGaiAgwEXcqWjMFbR3Kpo7aZtOT_1IuEFYR_xOVlJOix7u6SxHxd8/w200-h133/IMG_4511.JPG" width="200" /></a></div><br /><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In heat mode, it worked really well. The metal plates got
nice and toasty, in high mode. In cool mode, the plates get nice and cool, and
the air blows cool. And the higher up you go in the settings, the more air it
blows. In fan mode, while the metal plates don’t get cold, the fans still blow
good air. And the amount of air that’s blown depends on the setting you’re in.<o:p></o:p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1KlhLdKfMnDfP99RdmaQVuJSgSHWXHbzRZSwvflU1q3wBfvBq11nIDgaw4lujHC8bOUzlPdqI5i41fh3CmrG3dXc856or1o28KcljCK4vvQKEEDfPkdT5MwyjIoXZxXr0VvoV3_lFRfUdIZZEHT5MdwILdaGD1qs9dfhyphenhyphencmPsD7ewLm8sWrvOZGw6Xos/s6000/IMG_4513.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="6000" height="133" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1KlhLdKfMnDfP99RdmaQVuJSgSHWXHbzRZSwvflU1q3wBfvBq11nIDgaw4lujHC8bOUzlPdqI5i41fh3CmrG3dXc856or1o28KcljCK4vvQKEEDfPkdT5MwyjIoXZxXr0VvoV3_lFRfUdIZZEHT5MdwILdaGD1qs9dfhyphenhyphencmPsD7ewLm8sWrvOZGw6Xos/w200-h133/IMG_4513.JPG" width="200" /></a></div><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I must admit that I’m impressed with the Torras Coolify 3. I
was expecting it to be gimmicky, but it worked surprisingly well! And it also
appears to be well made, to provide lots of use. Based on its design,
features, quality and performance, the Torras Coolify 3 has earned our Editor’s
Choice Award.

And to bring out the best
experience you need surround sound. While TV speakers have improved over the
years, let’s face it, they’re still subpar. To get the best viewing experience
for movies, or TV, you need more. And for some, a full surround system can be
either intimidating, or out of their budget. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A soundbar is a good compromise. Up for review
today is the JBL Bar 500.<o:p></o:p></p>

product held in place by custom molded Styrofoam. Materials used in the
construction was mostly plastic with some metal. Quality of materials used, as
well as fit and finish, was very good. Included in the box was the soundbar,
subwoofer, remote, cables, mounts, and user guide.<p></p>

compromise. They are designed for sound. You get better quality speakers, and
more of them, as well as a much larger amplifier to power them. And in some
cases like the JBL Bar 500, you also get a separate wireless subwoofer. While a
subwoofer is not needed, it improves the sound and experience so much! Ever
watch an action movie without a subwoofer? The sound without a sub is
just…flat.<o:p></o:p><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">A soundbar is also less hassle than a full surround system.
First, it’s cheaper, as you don’t need a receiver. It’s also much less
intimidating and easier to set up. There are a lot less connections, and less
wires. And no speakers to place, or mount on the wall.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiB7CqHF9LwI2agwmztvLkeTG3APNFSpnZQvyIMQnvCu988H6WpUkbNU7pjqPGckCazDVG3IAQmp8f_yo2xiwpYRFW_hDc6qXHFaqFwiDwdnmXjDSeNcZp0I-HcVoonRxiQzE4_w8_P_iufjH8en5iQ8aJWDTiz4HQyaYoWAv-Z5ycWcPYu9q9lFon8MM0/s6000/IMG_4493.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="6000" height="133" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiB7CqHF9LwI2agwmztvLkeTG3APNFSpnZQvyIMQnvCu988H6WpUkbNU7pjqPGckCazDVG3IAQmp8f_yo2xiwpYRFW_hDc6qXHFaqFwiDwdnmXjDSeNcZp0I-HcVoonRxiQzE4_w8_P_iufjH8en5iQ8aJWDTiz4HQyaYoWAv-Z5ycWcPYu9q9lFon8MM0/w200-h133/IMG_4493.JPG" width="200" /></a></div><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The JBL Bar 500 is designed with simplicity in mind. As far
as speakers, you get the sound bar and wireless subwoofer. No separate speakers
to worry about. You simply set the soundbar on your console under your TV, and
set the subwoofer on the floor next to the console, or in the corner of the
room. And if your TV is wall mounted, you can mount the soundbar on the wall
under your TV. For connections you have power, USB, ethernet, HDMI in. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And for TV, you have HDMI for TV ARC/TV eARC.
So you can easily hook it up to your TV and internet for all your streaming
content. And with the HDMI input you can also use not just a streaming stick,
but also cable box, Blu-ray player, or gaming system. There’s a USB port for a
flash drive, as well as Bluetooth and Wi-Fi for wireless connectivity.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">The JBL Bar 500 also does a good job on surround sound. It
features four woofers and three tweeters in the soundbar, and 290 watts. Thru
Dolby Atmos it delivers 5.1 surround sound. A sound test, using the built-in
software, tunes the soundbar to your room, to deliver 5.1 surround sound. Even
without rear mounted speakers, it employs sound reflections using the walls in
your walls in your room, for the perceived 5.1 surround sound. And the wireless
subwoofer takes care of the .1 for the bass. Pairing it to my smartphone with
Bluetooth was also really easy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Now that
it’s set-up, let’s see how it sounds.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Ready Player One – Race scene:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>vocals were very smooth and easy to
understand. Highs, with all the mayhem and collecting of coins, were really
crisp and clean and the bass with T-Rex and Kong was deep and played with a ton
of authority! While I didn’t hear sounds coming from behind, it did sound
excellent from the front as well as deep on the sides as far forward as my
sitting position.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Greatest Showman – the various musical numbers had excellent
vocals. Not only did the soundbar provide good resolution to reveal the texture
of the timbre of all the singers, there was excellent harmonics. The imaging
was also excellent, as was the soundstage both deep and extremely wide!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Music. Nat King Cole – L-O-V-E: this was another excellent
example of great resolution and soundstage. Vocals were silky smooth with
excellent texture of the timbre. Trumpet and trombone were also smooth with
excellent harmonics and not to brassy. Imaging again was excellent with vocals,
trumpet and trombone at different points in space, in a deep and wide
soundstage.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">The JBL Bar 500 proved to be a great soundbar. The built in
amplifier provided sufficient power to deliver good performance from the built
in speakers. The wireless 10 inch subwoofer provided not just deep bass, it did
so with authority. And thanks to Dolby Atmos and sound calibration, the JBL Bar
500 delivered a good surround sound experience. Connecting up to my smartphone via
Bluetooth was easy and worked well.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s
also well-built to provide years of use. Based on its design, feature, quality and
performance, the JBL Bar 500 has earned our Highly Recommended Award. For more

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">The Citizen CZ
Smart Hybrid Gen-2 came in a great looking color printed box, with photos and
specs of the watch. Opening the box revealed a well-protected watch held in
place by custom molded foam. Materials used in the construction was mostly
stainless steel, with mineral crystal. Quality of materials used, as well as
fit and finish, was excellent. Also included is the charging cable and manuals.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">I love the
design of the Citizen CZ Smart Hybrid smart watch. The case is beefy and
extremely solid, the quality that Citizen is known for. The face is covered by
an attractive yet tough mineral crystal to combat scratches. The band is an
elegant looking stainless steel, which unlike cheap bands has a smooth and
unhindered movement to the links. The censors are located on the back of the
case. Buttons are on the right side of the case, to control the functionality.
And there are other bands available, such as leather and silicone, that can be
switched out, depending on your preference and wardrobe.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigCJpMe8Lz9E41ykDbjY7UHZY4lXW_2fURhTlJTIIyQwrHaf0Nh5rOpCQkmyBkLZd8th_QpaxydBMfG1ECxSGL6LzzzwlmAJwcZ5Suyhm0UlpbUi5Ux7hPEN0RUd4OtXQhuF41RgKddNw-dBaGqKaa2wdQ6Q_u_2Hqfd3S6IznADC725bujjLcBpRWexY/s6000/IMG_4420.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="6000" height="133" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigCJpMe8Lz9E41ykDbjY7UHZY4lXW_2fURhTlJTIIyQwrHaf0Nh5rOpCQkmyBkLZd8th_QpaxydBMfG1ECxSGL6LzzzwlmAJwcZ5Suyhm0UlpbUi5Ux7hPEN0RUd4OtXQhuF41RgKddNw-dBaGqKaa2wdQ6Q_u_2Hqfd3S6IznADC725bujjLcBpRWexY/w200-h133/IMG_4420.JPG" width="200" /></a></div><br /><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">One of the
main keys of the design is its hybrid functionality. Most smart watches have
the entire watch face as a beautiful color display. But that requires power,
which often times needs to be recharged every few days. The Citizen design
features analog hands, like the rest of their dress watches. But instead of the
power-hungry color display, it features a digital and LCD display. This gets
you battery life up to 18 days.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">For the
design, Citizen used the best of both worlds. There are a lot of smart watches
to choose from, but most look like just regular cheap watches. Citizen took the
look of their beefy and luxurious watches, and added a smart watch to it.
Hence, the best of both worlds. You get the smart watch functionality in an
excellent dress watch!<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Whether you
are new or experienced with smart watches, Citizen has you covered with smart
watch functionality. You get your typical watch functions such as alarm,
calendar, chronograph. You also get the smart watch notifications for call,
texts, email, etc. Then there is the fitness functionality, such as steps,
distance, calories burned, personal goals, sleep, etc. There’s even multimedia
features, such as taking remote photos, music control and volume adjustment.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Citizen has
been innovative in their dress watches with Eco-Drive. The innovation continues
with their smart watches. You get traditional smart watch functionality, but
through Citizen you will have access to additional innovative and unique
functionality. Citizen incorporated technology from NASA and IBM Watson to
create a wellness app proprietary to Citizen called YouQ. YouQ basically over
around 10 days will learn your awake and sleep patterns. Through the apps AI,
the app learns your sleep and awake patterns, and is then able to recommend
“Power Fixes” or activities to increase your alertness and reduce fatigue. This
helps you be more productive. It’s definitely an innovative feature!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Unlike some
products, the owner’s manual was easy to read. It was also easy to follow, and
therefore installation of the app on my smartphone was simple. And so was
pairing the watch to my smartphone, through the app. The Quick Start Guide
walked you through it. If anything, the Quick Start Guide may have been a
little too simple with not much details that some users may need. It worked for
me, and there is the customer service number for those that need assistance.
Now that it’s set up and paired with my smartphone and app, let’s see how it
performs.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><o:p> <br /></o:p></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhK46FdXUMeDnk7WcANqbFtSmssJbFgKyGqYg-cLasWvbCxAwZOnFoYtbedmBODB2KqHo2D-glbLSU_p6Y-vnoMLFhzDejl4ByZW1FpPyQBJZHSq8VWmUOswvuVa8_CpgdluoqM1OM0hi-k5f4pCLFGJ7r6JsBz7cqaWu6xEm_aMdxC6hfjmS1IDoG7Eck/s6000/IMG_4431.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="6000" height="133" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhK46FdXUMeDnk7WcANqbFtSmssJbFgKyGqYg-cLasWvbCxAwZOnFoYtbedmBODB2KqHo2D-glbLSU_p6Y-vnoMLFhzDejl4ByZW1FpPyQBJZHSq8VWmUOswvuVa8_CpgdluoqM1OM0hi-k5f4pCLFGJ7r6JsBz7cqaWu6xEm_aMdxC6hfjmS1IDoG7Eck/w200-h133/IMG_4431.JPG" width="200" /></a></div><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Using the
app is very simple. Even on the main page of the app, it shows your step count,
minutes of activity or exercise, calories burned, heart rate, sleep time and
blood oxygen percentage. Tapping on the icons, you can see tracking for each
for day, week and month. Through the app you can also set up alarms, change the
look of your watch face, set-up notifications, as well as set up your
preferences.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqn_v_SDJ90-HxsiqFQwfnGL_Nphq5cUYIOkhagKkU3FaX5RrY64nUzGBmLO5oKaWTn7OQXlk8cVg64hbd-ZbQImrf0SJAU6uzyptq5qrgIJpX9k3tK2qv_H5pVwK4N20-Y35kFEmfl6hyphenhyphenKEVv8OzkGsp1ypoe2G2NkiZDd6xzlUqwJoKWviHvU-lp_20/s6000/IMG_4434.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="6000" height="133" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqn_v_SDJ90-HxsiqFQwfnGL_Nphq5cUYIOkhagKkU3FaX5RrY64nUzGBmLO5oKaWTn7OQXlk8cVg64hbd-ZbQImrf0SJAU6uzyptq5qrgIJpX9k3tK2qv_H5pVwK4N20-Y35kFEmfl6hyphenhyphenKEVv8OzkGsp1ypoe2G2NkiZDd6xzlUqwJoKWviHvU-lp_20/w200-h133/IMG_4434.JPG" width="200" /></a></div><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Through the
app, you also set up the watch’s functionality. You’ll need to update your
gender, height and age, and weight, so your calorie burning is more accurate.
There’s goal setting for daily steps, active calories, active minutes, and
sleep time. You can even set up what apps connect to it. Thru the app you can
also check that your watch is connected, battery life, and firmware version.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">There’s a
lot you can control and monitor from the app, but you will also need to use the
watch itself. To control it you’ll use the three buttons on the right side. And
you’ll really want to download the instruction manual. It goes through not only
all of the features, it also explains the function of each button for each
feature. So downloading and studying the manual is really critical. That way
when you want to check a text, answer a call, or control your music, you’ll

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">While these
are all great features, there is one area where I feel like Citizen missed the
mark. That would be with the SPO2 blood oxygen sensor. It measures your blood
oxygen level in a percentage. This is a great tool for sleep apnea. It’s been estimated
that approximately 1 in every 15 Americans suffer from a case of sleep apnea.
That’s just in the US. You figure that globally, and that’s a lot of people.
But only a small percentage get diagnosed. Studies also show that if you have a
close family member with sleep apnea, you are at a higher risk for developing
it.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">In the app
under SPO2, it shows and tracks your weekly average for blood oxygen
percentage. It also shows your daily low, high, and average blood oxygen
percentages. This is all great to know, just shy of the mark for sleep apnea.
But Citizen seems really close to being a game changer for sleep apnea. The
watch is clearly able to take the measurements. If Citizen made a change to the
software to show the measurements at the time of the day, it would be more
beneficial. You would be able to tell if any of the low readings were during
your sleep. You would be able to track how often it happens. And if you need to
see medical help for it. The feature works great. But with some tweaks, Citizen
could have a real game changer on their hands that could help literally
millions!<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">The Citizen
YouQ app is also very innovative.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You
start using the app by taking some Alert Checks.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You do that a couple times a day for the

sleep and activity patterns. Once your chronotype is identified, you will see

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">I absolutely
love the look of the Citizen CZ Smart Hybrid Gen-2. It has the elegant and
classy look of an analog dress watch with the functionality of smart watch. And
it has the excellent build quality that Citizen is known for. It’s a classic
example of synergy, where the whole is more than the sum of the parts. Now you
can get all dressed up for a night out on the town or wedding with a great
looking Citizen dress watch, and still get the vibration on your wrist so you
don’t miss that important text. Based on its design, features, quality and
performance, the Citizen SZ Smart Hybrid has earned our Editor’s Choice Award.

<p class="MsoNormal">The Cobra Pro 3000W came in a great looking color printed
box, with photos and specs of the power inverter. Opening the box revealed a
well-protected product held in place by custom molded foam. Materials used in
the construction was mostly plastic, with some metal. Quality of materials
used, as well as fit and finish, was very good. Also included is the remote
controller, power and ground controls, mounting kit, and user guide.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I really like the design of the Cobra Pro 3000W. It’s a
professional grade power inverter, with enough power to run just about
anything. And the remote controller simplifies it’s use. Through the controller
you can not only monitor the inverter, it also has fast charge ports. You can
quick charge smaller devices such as smartphones or tablets.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">While the remote controller adds some great useability, the
brawn of the inverter is in the main body. It included 4 GCFI outlets, an LED
display and comes with 2-gauge power and ground cables. That should tell you
most of what you need to know about the Cobra Pro 3000W. It packs a punch. 3000
watts continuous, or 6000 watts peak. That’s enough to power just about
anything. Appliances such as a microwave, fridge, or even power tools. No
wonder it’s called professional grade!</p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p><br /></o:p><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="6000" height="133" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjucTChgHNn_LBWKUba0zuhfV197XR1LBc8VO2yU253k5oJzae0V0k4oliVRJ6NTWtA5MTuPDOBfpMZOf6EZr7NTMIa2XjfC-qEuhv4rHVOliQNrgc07sLMuOwrKXvViT1OYIAeUgcSat_xzIBdDRmNcgz0gvuVP8LjN56zaVkEe1xLk6Yi0YQ_epatyZc/w200-h133/IMG_4455.JPG" width="200" /></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">For the installation, the user guide was easy to follow. Not
all owner’s manuals are easy to read and follow. This one was. Installation was
rather straight forward, and simple. Now that’s it’s installed, let’s see how
it performs. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">There’s not a whole lot to the Cobra Pro 3000W. The large
red LED next to the outlets showed the voltage of my truck’s battery. The
remote controller in blue LED showed both the input voltage from the battery,
as well as the output in watts. The remote controller worked great at charging
my smartphone. And the inverter had no problem powering a saw, and an impact
wrench. When all is said and done, that’s probably the best compliment that can
be given: that it performed as advertised. And that’s just what the Cobra Pro
3000W did.<o:p></o:p></p>

have had legendary models. They have tapped into the styling of legendary
speakers with the look of the new Authentics Line. Up for review is the new
Authentics 500. MSRP is $699.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">The JBL Authentics 500 came shipped in a nice color printed
box, with photos and specs of the speaker. Opening the box revealed a well-protected
speaker held in place by custom molded cardboard. Materials used in the
construction was mostly plastic. But quality of materials used, as well as fit
and finish, was excellent. Also included was the power cord and Quick Start
Guide.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I love the design of the JBL Authentics 500. For looks, they
revived the retro look of the L100 from the 70s. For the sound, they tapped
modern innovations, such as use of Dolby Atmos. This also includes a 3.1
design. There is a left channel, a center channel, and right channel. Those
three channels comprise of separate tweeter and midrange drivers. The point one
of the 3.1 design is the down firing subwoofer. So in JBL fashion, thanks to
the 1 inch tweeters, 2.75 inch midrange, and 6.5 inch subwoofer and 270 watts,
you will get high quality room filling sound.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Most users will use the built-in Bluetooth or wi-fi to
access their music. But there is also an ethernet port, so you can actually use
a hardwire connection. Through this internet connection, you can also access
Alexa or Google Assistant, for use as a smart speaker. Additional input
connections are 3.5 mm auxiliary input, and USB.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Last but not least, there’s also the JBL One App.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The app walks you thru setting up the Authentics
500.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was a breeze.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The EQ also worked well, although was much
simpler than I would have liked for such a great speaker.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Rather than just bass mids and highs, it
would have been nice to have something with more frequency points like a 10-band
graphic EQ.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But before I knew it, I was
up and listening to music from the Amazon Music app on my phone.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">All of this design comes together in a synergy for an
excellent smart speaker. You get solid smart speaker connectivity thanks to the
Ethernet port. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Separate tweeter,
midrange, and subwoofer ensures your music will sound amazing, and it’s 270
watts makes sure its room filling. Its multiple inputs makes sure the source of
your music isn’t limited. And the app lets you tailor the sound to your liking.
And connecting the JBL Authentics 500 to my home network was simple. Now let’s
see how it sounds.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Deck the Halls:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>cymbals were really crisp and clean with very good resolution.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Snare drum was very dynamic. Bass drum had

comes to car audio, it’s not the same without a subwoofer. It’s the triangle of
sound with bass being the foundation. But depending on your vehicle, you may
not have much space available for a subwoofer. And even if you already have a
stock subwoofer that came with your vehicle, you can always improve it. My 2023
Chevy Bolt came with the upgraded Bose sound system which included a powered
subwoofer in the trunk. While the Bose system sounded good, including the sub,
there was room for improvement. Kicker is known for having great subs. They
have something for everyone, including for those with limited space. Up for
review today it their Kicker PTRTP Powered 12 Inch Enclosure. MSRP is $499.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">I love the
design of the Kicker PTRTP 12 Inch Subwoofer. It uses a shallow mount subwoofer
to yield an enclosure that will fit in most tight spaces. Yet it also boosts
performance by incorporating a passive radiator. Enthusiasts may prefer a
ported design for its higher output. Unfortunately, ported enclosures require
more space due to the higher airspace needed for the ported design. So if you
are limited in space, you may have to concede to going sealed.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">At least you
may have thought that was the case. But if you have limited space, going sealed
is not the only option. Kicker is known for giving you big bass, and that
continues with their Kicker PTRTP 12 Inch Subwoofer. Instead of going just
sealed, they added a passive radiator. A passive radiator is just that,
passive. That means that it does not require any power. Like a car turbo takes
exhaust energy and turns it into extra horsepower for the vehicle, a passive radiator
takes internal energy created by the active subwoofer and uses it to create
extra output.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

passive radiator is more of a hybrid design. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You don’t get the output that a ported
enclosure can provide. Yet it is not sealed either. Thanks to the passive
radiator, the design provides more output. In reality it’s a bit of a
compromise. You get an enclosure designed for small spaces like a sealed
enclosure, yet you get more output than a sealed enclosure. If you want a lot
of output and have the space, ported is still the way to go. But if you want to
get the most output from a small space, a sealed enclosure with a passive
radiator will give you the most output from a small space.<o:p></o:p><p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">I also love
the turn key design of the Kicker PTRTP 12 Inch Subwoofer, which also proves an
easy install. Not only does it provide a great driver in the CompRT, it also
includes a built-in amplifier. With a 500 watt RMS rating of the driver, they
maximized its performance with an amp that puts out 500 watts. All of the
connections and controls for the amp are mounted on the side. This ensures not
only a simple install, but also it’s easy to tune. All of the controls for
gain, crossover, and boost are all within easy reach. Power ground and signal
is all that’s needed for install. And installation was a cinch. Now let’s see
how it sounds.</span></p>

mentioned earlier, My Chevy Bolt came with the upgraded Bose Sound System.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was a small ported sub that was located in
the trunk area under the rear hatchback.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>While the stock sub provided ok output, and played deep, it felt anemic.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The deep bass just didn’t seem that
full.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I like to use the analogy of horsepower
and torque.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My other vehicle is a 2017
Nissan Titan with a large 400hp V8.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A
much smaller 4 cylinder like in a Honda can be modified with a large turbo to
get 400hp out of it, but it won’t have anywhere near the same amount of
torque.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It lacks the muscle/power needed
to say….pull a large trailer, like my V8 Titan can do.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Kicker PTRTP 12 Inch powered sub was a
night and day difference compared to the Bose subwoofer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Not only did it provide significantly more
output, it was also much deeper with a fullness to the base that the Bose did
not provide.<o:p></o:p><p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">I love
seeing a quality product that performs extremely well.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I also love it when a company develops a name
for themselves for great products, after years of doing so.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But I love it even more when a company with a
great reputation doesn’t rest on their laurels, and continues to develop and provide
great products. Kicker is one of those great companies.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And their Kicker PTRTP 12 inch subwoofer,
thanks to the sealed enclosure with the passive radiator, provided a nice and tight
bass yet also very deep with extra output. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Based on their design, features, quality, and
performance, the Kicker PTRTP Powered 12 Inch Enclosure has earned out Editor’s
Choice Award. Kudos to Kicker on such a great product!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For more info and complete specs, check out

We love our work, and that makes us perfectionists. We won’t settle for second best. We strive to complete what we have started. That’s the Onkyo spirit.

The speaker consists of an oversized 29mm membrane soft dome tweeter is constructed from an ultra-light weight weave material that is half the weight of most models on the market. The extended frequency response is combined with super wide, panoramic dispersion. The patented SMC Disc in the woofer magnet’s iron pole-piece greatly reduces mechanical distortion for lifelike vocals and precision midrange reproduction.</p><p class="yiv1803528304spacer" style="line-height: 1;

<p class="MsoNormal">To begin this review, I will be talking about the fan first.
The fan comes in a nice dark-colored cardboard box with high-definition
pictures of the fan on the front. With the specs of the fan on the side. Materials
used in the construction was mostly plastic with some metal.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Quality of materials used as well as fit and
finish, was very good. The fan comes with two extra fan blades, screws for the
installation, and the warranty booklet. The fan was tested with a piece of
paper towel to test the consistency of the airflow with all three fan blades
and I was pleased to see that it remained relatively the same with little
noticeable change. It performed well, and having extra fan blades is also nice.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">The Power Supply Unit came in a dark-colored cardboard box
with a high-definition picture of the unit on top as well as two sides of the
box and the features are on the back. The unit came bubble-wrapped to help
secure it during the transport along with a black bag that holds the wiring for
the unit. Materials used in the construction was mostly metal, with some
plastic. Quality of materials used, as well as fit and finish, was very good. A
plastic bag that holds the power cord, zip ties, and screws to help with the
assembly. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">The power supply comes with a 5-year warranty to help you
stay covered. The power supply is bronze-certified. The unit is also built with
industrial-grade protection to keep the unit operational and protected.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The power supply unit is semi-modular so it
has some connectors ready to get plugged into your system. The power supply has
some great features such as being AUX 3.0 compatible. Another feature that is
nice is that it is PCIe gen 5.0 ready with a 16-pin connector. It’s a quality
power supply that’s built well, with some great features. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Now it’s time to see how the ThermalTake SMART BM3 Power
supply performs.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Testing of the power
supply was to see if it would power my computer which is roughly 600 W to
power. The power supply performed well with no difficulty.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Looking at my display, colors were as vibrant
and well saturated as usual. Turning to some gaming, and monitoring my frame
rates, I had no drop in performance.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It
performed in spades.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p><br /></o:p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipvK_5sWY1SFgN42fycUr25AqWTkpV_KIvHohV1f3LK50IxpQ3mqGZkg8e5zG521Y5BVJSOIFsPuCc_yCXuZoqSHTAPMgwDwrcnfrYs5Bj4muJ8RNpeT1ywk8N8ChaeV4oH3ZuyH3SiS_gFqpjaXLVStPhFPk1zG36PIN5yAjza4MHNYqu3hT-dOsGIKU/s6000/IMG_4395.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="6000" height="133" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipvK_5sWY1SFgN42fycUr25AqWTkpV_KIvHohV1f3LK50IxpQ3mqGZkg8e5zG521Y5BVJSOIFsPuCc_yCXuZoqSHTAPMgwDwrcnfrYs5Bj4muJ8RNpeT1ywk8N8ChaeV4oH3ZuyH3SiS_gFqpjaXLVStPhFPk1zG36PIN5yAjza4MHNYqu3hT-dOsGIKU/w200-h133/IMG_4395.JPG" width="200" /></a></div><br /><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In conclusion, the <a name="_Hlk149079574">ThermalTake SMART

Its exceptional circuitry design features separate digital and analogue signal paths that add functionality like distinct volume attenuation for analogue and digital signals, a true analogue bypass for the MM/MC phono stage, and an independent headphone amplifier. It also boasts four independent subwoofer outputs and includes licenses for Dirac Live Room Correction (full frequency) and Bass Control tools. The M66 also introduces a new proprietary technology, Dynamic Digital Headroom (DDH), that eliminates intersample clipping and relies on the widely lauded ESS Sabre DAC, ensuring only the cleanest signal is passed along for amplification. BluOS wireless hi-res multiroom streaming, is included, as are Apple AirPlay2, two-way AptX HD Bluetooth, and a host of other inputs and outputs.</p><p class="yiv6556990706spacer" style="line-height: 1; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline: none !important;"> </p><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="yiv6556990706image-block yiv6556990706image-block--with-link yiv6556990706image-block--align-center" style="border-collapse: collapse; border-spacing: 0px; max-width: 580px !important; outline: none !important; table-layout: fixed; text-align: center; width: 580px;"><tbody style="outline: none !important;"><tr style="border-collapse: collapse; outline: none !important;"><td style="border-collapse: collapse; outline: none !important; word-break: normal;"><a class="yiv6556990706block yiv6556990706align-center" href="https://u14456542.ct.sendgrid.net/ls/click?upn=mfF90preIiP2ZLErl5gw3QeHQDsn-2Fyur4RPgk1uFoS6ofkQm-2Bfz2WDCZRw9wQITEpqEkfwuT-2BYbnHextZRY7V6MJgOgT9ZcPDg4muA248hVImgB1KAcmK9DsXTWqzuhin8egnF6QhE84vK0PDQ7rOzeDovi2hw3ZZNpCtLnauXvFi8nAV-2BSJ-2BAiQx3aY6yoI4mCDXqb6hlnyYvLLi0hvNA-3D-3DINv-_oiaPZVGzOawpCNJn0IVUii-2FhAXqjE-2FfBNXohUsKhIACWpjijtEscJblhWbdK5ti6Mt6TRjSnWZ6IFHMlM7xhj5oV9iXg8gGfDcDdCwpyVia4V7ZFt3zGnwjBhjk6n0a8EN95MYtyV0SaRmoZKkRQfTUjBqbdFixNd-2BJ3dIp1pcPEqddzgRhGg0wCYNEskL1-2F1Mjw53TtJKp0a1K1kKvY5hBPkC-2Bal-2Fh21pzOiICLgm4NPQ1uc9wqE9TbiAn-2B3Do69i7Gwcs0LKeazo-2Bcq38e6K5o3Tct2wuF9AQH0DTiJ8e9byyrQJOAX9bmoxwbPGCDpxrI8hccryZvSNfwWn1k9puGv8k6KdMAx1Cf6uhpUedQyCEzSOoQjfWYUItUHg-2BEl4bUJ4fu41CFC3vh-2BIj3ql2tVx3vW93zNi7wtVMTpw28Y6pfF9OebRwYidOo9NKZBPCioVzfycobX5YCIPwRUKiWJqnJrHiRTGNwqtBk2-2FuA5K-2FhsNnEnUmqNyHKMTcO" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" style="color: #0082db; display: block; margin: 0px auto; max-width: 580px !important; outline: none !important;" target="_blank"><img alt="M66 front view" class="yiv6556990706block yiv6556990706rounded" height="334" src="https://ecp.yusercontent.com/mail?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcdn.uc.assets.prezly.com%2F5c214c1c-2adf-4a36-890a-b5bcd1341335%2F-%2Fresize%2F1160x%2F-%2Fformat%2Fauto%2F&t=1698211194&ymreqid=1af4bbdf-08a6-17bb-1ccb-790031011e00&sig=ZfCeJhNXHG6Bk33QRheWNw--~D" style="border-radius: 4px; display: block; margin: 0px auto; max-width: 580px !important; outline: none; text-decoration-line: none; text-indent: -9999px;" width="580" /></a><p class="yiv6556990706italic yiv6556990706text-normal" style="color: #374151; font-size: 16px; font-style: italic; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 10px; outline: none !important;">M66 front view</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p class="yiv6556990706spacer" style="line-height: 1; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline: none !important;"> </p><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="yiv6556990706image-block yiv6556990706image-block--with-link yiv6556990706image-block--align-center" style="border-collapse: collapse; border-spacing: 0px; max-width: 580px !important; outline: none !important; table-layout: fixed; text-align: center; width: 580px;"><tbody style="outline: none !important;"><tr style="border-collapse: collapse; outline: none !important;"><td style="border-collapse: collapse; outline: none !important; word-break: normal;"><a class="yiv6556990706block yiv6556990706align-center" href="https://u14456542.ct.sendgrid.net/ls/click?upn=mfF90preIiP2ZLErl5gw3QeHQDsn-2Fyur4RPgk1uFoS6ofkQm-2Bfz2WDCZRw9wQITEpqEkfwuT-2BYbnHextZRY7V6MJgOgT9ZcPDg4muA248hVImgB1KAcmK9DsXTWqzuhin8egnF6QhE84vK0PDQ7rO4miaiUcDSmc3FhwvXLbxM-2B7awjPVglvFjnXf6ZreGORaVnj6WMRyAabnhJzwTj9YQ-3D-3DfR-G_oiaPZVGzOawpCNJn0IVUii-2FhAXqjE-2FfBNXohUsKhIACWpjijtEscJblhWbdK5ti6Mt6TRjSnWZ6IFHMlM7xhj5oV9iXg8gGfDcDdCwpyVia4V7ZFt3zGnwjBhjk6n0a8EN95MYtyV0SaRmoZKkRQfTUjBqbdFixNd-2BJ3dIp1pcPEqddzgRhGg0wCYNEskL1-2F1Mjw53TtJKp0a1K1kKvY5hBPkC-2Bal-2Fh21pzOiICLgm4NPQ1uc9wqE9TbiAn-2B3Do69i7Gwcs0LKeazo-2Bcq38e6K5o3Tct2wuF9AQH0DTiJ8e9byyrQJOAX9bmoxwbPGCDzrBpJvu5CmqvSvgrxwetsC-2B7TkD2-2B4PZG9tMs7t89rSCM-2BykGECO-2BE9FlHWrwCyzFqVF0RWlCTuxGOwm0EVeCXr4vCSICykhzONpxzIrorLiLZOYO0eGLOPwm0a3wBTEUNkAT2estx6mSOJt8tHkbNNoq-2BGUqXCDGOjVOFgxbqx9Y95ol7od85Sds-2FuaiuN9" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" style="color: #0082db; display: block; margin: 0px auto; max-width: 580px !important; outline: none !important;" target="_blank"><img alt="M66 rear view

<p class="MsoNormal">The <span face=""Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px;">Wāvtech</span> Link 1000.1 mini came in a great looking color
printed box, with an image of the amp and its specs, on the box. Opening the
box revealed a well-protected amp held in place by custom molded foam.
Materials used in the construction was mostly metal. Quality of materials used,
as well as fit and finish, was very good. Also included was the manual used, as
well as fit and finish, was very good. Also included were the manual, and
mounting screws. <span face=""Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px;">Wāvtech</span> also sent the bass remote, which is a separate
accessory, and is also made of metal and good quality.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px;">Wāvtech</span> is a bit unique in its design philosophy. They are
designed for sound quality, and rated at 2 ohms. The trend has been to run subs
at 1 ohm. This means getting more output out of your amp. But there are reasons
not to do this. You get better sound quality running at 2 or 4 ohms. Running at
1 ohm also generates more heat. Heat kills amps, or can at least reduce its
lifespan. So while <span face=""Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px;">Wāvtech</span> limits the load to 2 ohm for sound quality, it can
also help with its longevity.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I love the design of the <span face=""Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px;">Wāvtech</span> 1000.1. The connections are
on both ends, as found on most amps. But the controls are on the top of the
amp. So when setting up and tuning the amp, all the controls for gain, EQ, and
crossovers, are conveniently located on the top of the amp. It’s designed with
the professional installer in mind. So after the amp is mounted, it’s really
easy to make the needed adjustments. And of course, having an LED Clip
indicator next to the controls makes tuning it a breeze.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Another key feature of the <span face=""Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px;">Wāvtech</span> Link 1000.1 mini is the
hi-level inputs. While having hi-level inputs is not rare, it’s actually
common. But the <span face=""Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px;">Wāvtech</span> Link 1000.1 mini can actually handle up to 40 volts.
This means it can handle a signal from just about any factory system. This
makes it extremely simple to add a high-power subwoofer system to an existing
factory system.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Installation proved to be very simple, mounting it to the
amp rack behind the back seat of my truck. And as expected, tuning it was very
simple. Having the controls on top, especially with the clip indicator, made
tuning it, and making adjustments, a breeze. There’s not a lot of space under
the back seat of my truck, yet I like a lot of bass. My reference subs are
Image Dynamics 1D8’s, quad design, in a ported enclosure. Let’s see how they
sound.<o:p></o:p></p>

There’s something therapeutic about
getting in your car after a stressful day at work and blasting some tunes to
sing along to. And the car receivers are constantly evolving, getting better.
The recent trend is going bigger. For aftermarket radios, what once was
standard single DIN sized progressed to Double DIN, 6.75 inch diagonal sized

that’s over 10 inches.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Up for review today is Kenwood Excelon Reference DNR-1007XR.
It is Kenwood’s top-of-the line car stereo receiver. It’s part of their
Reference Series. And it sports a display that is a huge 10.1 inches. In some
things, size does matter. MSRP is a bit pricy at $1900, but you do get a lot
for your buck<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">The Kenwood Excelon Reference DNR-1007XR came in a great
looking color printed box, with photos and specs of the receiver. Opening up
the box revealed a well-protected receiver, protected by custom molded
Styrofoam. The receiver is actually in two parts. The first is the internals of
the receiver that is double DIN size and mounts in the dash. The 2<sup>nd</sup>
part is the screen that connects to the receiver body. Materials used in the
construction was mostly metal with some plastic. Quality of the materials used
was excellent, as was the fit and finish. The DNR-1007XR is their top of the
line, and it show!<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I mostly love the design of the Kenwood Excelon Reference
DNR-1007XR. I say mostly, because it does come at the end of an era. I’m old
school and used to using CD’s. Yes, the DNR-1007XR is mechless. Which means
that it has no DVD/CD drive. Fortunately, I have been working on the transition
and I am doing well. Many of you reader may have already made the leap. After
all, mechless is where everything is heading.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Other than removing that one feature, Kenwood has you
covered with everything else. In true receiver fashion, there are a lot of
options to pick from for source material. For radio, you have both HD radio as
well as SiriusXM satellite radio. From there your other source material options
are Android Auto including Android Auto Wireless, Apple CarPlay, including
Apple CarPlay Wireless, USB, and even SD card. So yes, even though I may be
mourning the loss of the CD player, and some of you may be right there with me,
there’s an even better solution. The SD drive.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjw6-pCieCOVP2z2AmglMSZXsH1NmQxeRulwud0eRrDcEOIV3taaRLh7YGKFCzA3joZxC8guN8mKl9dtiesvq1TfR9I-6-ax__cV9ajVM7a4GoEEnF9k8XqpeAlD5wSUkpfuYRf_dQ29fGHuHl1Nj438sF6luy5Ms81Ke7IO3_LAJFpHC-318-16nKQ7wg/s6000/IMG_4274.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="6000" height="133" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjw6-pCieCOVP2z2AmglMSZXsH1NmQxeRulwud0eRrDcEOIV3taaRLh7YGKFCzA3joZxC8guN8mKl9dtiesvq1TfR9I-6-ax__cV9ajVM7a4GoEEnF9k8XqpeAlD5wSUkpfuYRf_dQ29fGHuHl1Nj438sF6luy5Ms81Ke7IO3_LAJFpHC-318-16nKQ7wg/w200-h133/IMG_4274.JPG" width="200" /></a></div><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks to the huge capacity on SD cards, you can now take
your entire CD collection with you and no more fiddling with discs. Just put in
the SC card, and no need to take it out. Sure you can also use the USB
connection for a massive flash drive and do the same thing. But you may want to
save that USB connection for a phone. 99% of the time there are no issues
connecting through Android Auto Wireless or Apple CarPlay Wireless. But I have
seen the occasional phone have an issue connecting wirelessly for some odd
reason. So while you could use the USB connection for a flash drive with your
CD collection, I would still highly suggest using the SD card clot for that.
While not all of Kenwood’s receivers have a SD card slot, it’s well worth
getting one that does. And the Kenwood Excelon Reference DNR-1007XR is one of
those models that has an SD card slot.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">While all of those features are great, it’s probably the
screen size, after all, that has you considering the DNR-1007XR. Kenwood does
have other 10.1 inch screens in their other series. But being in their
Reference Series, the Kenwood Excelon Reference DNR-1007XR actually has an HD
display. Their HD display looks amazing on their double DIN sized receivers,
like their DNR-997XR. But at 10.1 inches, when the DNR-1007XR is installed and
you see the HD display in all of its eye candy glory: I’ll put it his way.
Remember how you felt in the end scene of the movie, Rudy, when Rudy finally
got onto the field to play, got the sack on the quarterback, and was carried
off the field? Or in the scene of Avengers: Endgame, when Thor’s hammer comes
to Captain America? Seeing the high-res screen on the DNR-1007XR, it’s a lot
like that.<o:p></o:p></p>

of the features that are typically found in their receivers, like the Mosfet 50
watts per channel amp, sound control features like time alignment and
equalization, and sound adjustments. So if you are to use the receiver to power
and control your system, it can do it in spades. And there’s the other great
features like designed and built for Hi-Res Audio including Hi-Res Audio
Wireless, and the 4 camera inputs and parking guidance. And we also can’t
forget the built-in Garmin Navigation. Now that we know all about its great
features, let’s see how it all comes together and how it actually performs. <o:p></o:p><p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Let’s start with the display. After all, it’s one of the
main selling points. No matter what source is being displayed…maps, album art,
backup camera, or video, they all look stunning. Colors are vibrant and well
saturated, but not overly so. And the resolution is excellent! Even when the
source material being displayed isn’t high definition, it still looks really
good.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’m familiar with the HD display,
having had it for a few years with the DNR-997XR.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But even so, I still catch myself admiring
how crisp and clear the display looks, with such excellent resolution!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I did not think it would be that big of a
deal going from the double DIN DNR-997XR to the 10.1” DNR-1007XR, but I love
the larger display!<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">For the audio side, we’ll start with radio. While the radio
turner isn’t exceptional, it performs as good as can be expected. When you get
an HD Radio signal, it sounds excellent. And I love the album art that comes
with HD Radio.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">What’s also special about the Kenwood Excelon Reference
DNR-1007XR, is it provides the features you need. The internal amp, DSP, and
crossovers, you may not need any additional amps, crossovers, or DSP. My
reference system is extensive. It’s a fully active system with 3-ways up front,
2-ways in the rear, and quad subs, with external processor and amps. So in my
system, the DNR-1007XR just provides the signal to my processor and amps. It executes
this in a very transparent fashion, which allows my songs sound exactly like
they should without any coloration to the source signal. So no matter how you

<p class="MsoNormal">The built-in Garmin navigation also performed in spades.
Sure you can get navigation with your smartphone through Android Auto. But
having built-in navigation does have its benefits. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Some highways, intersections, and on/off ramps
can be confusing. Especially when you are not familiar with them. With Garmin,
not only do you get lane guidance, it also provides 3D terrain view, as well as
Photo Realistic Junction View. It’s well worth it. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I love its additional functionality of the four camera
inputs. And of them, the Kenwood Excelon Reference is designed to work with
Kenwood’s cameras. Thanks to the HD display, the Kenwood CMOS-740HD is a
perfect fit, and can be used as both a front and rear camera. It’s HD
resolution mates perfectly with the DNR-1007XR. Kenwood provided two cameras to review with the receiver, to test functionality of both front and rear cameras with the DNR-1007XR.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Installation of the Kenwood CMOS-740HD was straight forward.
Setting it up was simple. The Kenwood Excelon Reference DNR1007XR already has a
setting for setup of the cameras. For the rear camera there is a grid that
automatically pops up to help with parking. And in the setup screen you can
easily make adjustments to the grid. And while there isn’t a grid that pops up
for the front camera, the front camera is still helpful, such as with parking.
I have a full size struck with a tall hood, so it is a big help with parking.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">As far as the image from the front and rear Kenwood
CMOS-740HD camera, they really take advantage of the DNR-1007XR’s HD resolution. Putting the truck into reverse, the rear camera automatically popped up with the parking guidance. Moving into drive, the front camera automatically popped up, and stayed on for several seconds or so. The image is beautiful with very good saturation. At dusk and at night,
producing a good image gets more difficult. At dusk, there is a great deal more
noise in the image, but it’s still plenty light enough to see what is behind
you. When it’s completely dark out, you lose range or distance of how far you
can see behind you. But you still see very well what is directly behind you.
And HDR does help in lighting what is around you and reducing blur/brightness
of headlights.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And while the cameras do
produce a fisheye effect, it’s only noticeable if you look at any of the
corners.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>With everything installed, let's
see how it sounds.<o:p></o:p></p>

clean, with excellent resolution so you can even hear the decay of the strings.
The whistling was so silky smooth with excellent harmonics, and the soundstage
was so tangibly wide and deep it sounded almost holographic. Vocals were also
silky smooth with excellent texture.<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In the end, the Kenwood Excelon Reference DNR-1007XR not
only provides a lot of features, it executes all of them extremely well. It
provides a synergy that is more than a sum on the parts. With its $1900 MSRP,
it’s not for everyone. If you can manage it, it’s worth the price. I think Ferris
Bueller said it best: “It’s so choice. If you have the means, I highly
recommend it!” And the Kenwood CMOS-740HD Camera is the perfect accessory for the DNR-1007XR that also performed in spades. Based on their design, features, quality and performance, the
Kenwood Excelon Reference DNR-1007XR and Kenwood CMOS-740HD Camera have earned our Editor’s Choice Award. For

<p class="MsoNormal"></p>We will talk about the Fans first. The fans came in a grey
and black cardboard box with a high-definition picture on the front and the
specifications on the back. The fans came in a cardboard box that houses the
fans and another smaller cardboard box that has the screws and extinctions for
assembly. The fans are made with a high-quality polymer that helps minimize
vibrations at higher speeds.<br /><p></p>

great airflow. The Fans are set in the exhaust position and have their
Anti-Vibrating mounting system with rubber corners. The fans were tested with a
piece of paper towel to see the consistency and I was pleased with how the fans
performed with the test.<p></p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtaVs_RWapLUVML28lxh_1bX7X2E1Vs0oQ9XsPXsud5ECwpqjoQidAvMKm6DbmRTPqdhFjyNFQjdmJLIE_ydHIaPs4qoMPEu6PozZCX_UOtI61uu8PTFNROuI6RxolXhBh7GQ5tn8VOvig7XahF9IW0GY5770rtsF0V_9Pgl3elbbbopErLNhmxKHZC0k/s6000/IMG_4311.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="6000" height="133" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtaVs_RWapLUVML28lxh_1bX7X2E1Vs0oQ9XsPXsud5ECwpqjoQidAvMKm6DbmRTPqdhFjyNFQjdmJLIE_ydHIaPs4qoMPEu6PozZCX_UOtI61uu8PTFNROuI6RxolXhBh7GQ5tn8VOvig7XahF9IW0GY5770rtsF0V_9Pgl3elbbbopErLNhmxKHZC0k/w200-h133/IMG_4311.JPG" width="200" /></a></div><br /><o:p></o:p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh82ZjrF6eJS9z9nfYKu3cDRDWI5mbjL5J7kFcp-kyS9A4OfYMC00cFYQY_Xrmrm6vMRzOWbh5ao4ms1ij79ITwLC2Jz9T2Zj6HJvfV5taxMhUEE00W2pYcU3wCzbUZ6rI9bcT5TNrVXgRcA9kyGNPEFFYmdlJ0Dj16if1iauPttzfqAeqtlhEVQQKuwg8/s6000/IMG_4312.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="6000" height="133" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh82ZjrF6eJS9z9nfYKu3cDRDWI5mbjL5J7kFcp-kyS9A4OfYMC00cFYQY_Xrmrm6vMRzOWbh5ao4ms1ij79ITwLC2Jz9T2Zj6HJvfV5taxMhUEE00W2pYcU3wCzbUZ6rI9bcT5TNrVXgRcA9kyGNPEFFYmdlJ0Dj16if1iauPttzfqAeqtlhEVQQKuwg8/w200-h133/IMG_4312.JPG" width="200" /></a></div><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><br /><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"></p>The Case came in a grey cardboard box with high-quality
images of the case as specifications. Held secure by custom-fitted Styrofoam
wrapped in plastic. The case came with extra screws and zip ties to help with
the final touches after the build. A motherboard speaker was even included,
with some extra clips that help secure the various panels on the case. It also
came with 2 panels that can be attached to the PSU mounting bracket if you are
not planning on using a bigger GPU with your build.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Lastly there was the warranty and user manual
booklets.<br /><p></p>

ThermalTake does with their products with a tempered glass front to be able to
look at your components at a great angle. With the smaller size of the case,
you are more limited to the size of your components but that won't hurt you in
the GPU area because they have added space so that you could have a bigger GPU
up to 380mm like an RTX 4090. With the size you can have up to a 280 AIO which

The case comes with two CT 140 fans, one on the top of the case and the other on
the back of the case, both configured in the exhaust direction. <o:p></o:p><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPLpWKCyBe4rVYOUjokzxIdYHCu21fFQkCLpV4r_0ke4UDYD8r7LIsUG69wQ8KqOqzFGr7-o0mlBSnSNlZmhf5H1_SBbB2w7OtYK0mJcXmhpmqnhM6uCcdWw7fDCReY8kGgSG9ilrFWQroxBISt8FQiZsdZUW4bxrXmWNDzV6yBmAZACpQqThgVwOPvBc/s6000/IMG_4314.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="6000" height="133" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPLpWKCyBe4rVYOUjokzxIdYHCu21fFQkCLpV4r_0ke4UDYD8r7LIsUG69wQ8KqOqzFGr7-o0mlBSnSNlZmhf5H1_SBbB2w7OtYK0mJcXmhpmqnhM6uCcdWw7fDCReY8kGgSG9ilrFWQroxBISt8FQiZsdZUW4bxrXmWNDzV6yBmAZACpQqThgVwOPvBc/w200-h133/IMG_4314.JPG" width="200" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyGrBRNb_FEi7plZ1ZgDXlBBfKrOQ0pO0GEdKln2rNhypC72VvO56BfZyT5DGMLT5pnTyVsbHGnArKTx1dNhf9nebrdE9u__IMDpGXQbc7o-sebvdRNErqtS-NhgMzqztHw_YBvbez-Kq6gsXVzJv79tcUotKP4M0oF62jllO4A_YHkt18BXYdogqq4xI/s6000/IMG_4320.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="6000" height="133" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyGrBRNb_FEi7plZ1ZgDXlBBfKrOQ0pO0GEdKln2rNhypC72VvO56BfZyT5DGMLT5pnTyVsbHGnArKTx1dNhf9nebrdE9u__IMDpGXQbc7o-sebvdRNErqtS-NhgMzqztHw_YBvbez-Kq6gsXVzJv79tcUotKP4M0oF62jllO4A_YHkt18BXYdogqq4xI/w200-h133/IMG_4320.JPG" width="200" /></a></div><p></p><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"></p>One of my favorite features that is included in this case is
that it has a GPU stabilizer to help keep your GPU in place even while you are
moving the case around. On the right side of the case, there is a removable fan
bracket that can hold up to a 280mm radiator or two 120mm or 140mm fans. Along
with their other cases, The Tower 200 also has removable dust filters to help
make the cleaning and maintenance of this case as easy as they can. The I/O on
the case contains the power switch, a restart switch, a microphone port, a headphones
port, two USB 3.0 ports, as well as a Type-C port. The panels on the case are
secured by knobs that help assembly quick and easy while the important panels
are on a push spring mechanism to help keep the panel knobs secure.<div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhen6aTdga5D6lc0RxY1Nh5OoLFdmbonxNZTXFAC09tmcsZX8G7Se0uUGbhkUhi9EoKO9gLLW_CbL3_AmE102bHpIbvpG2KEBonxPiEOu1nf_N9phWZJM2aqipvvq8tEwoXK1tmL0n9zwfVd-sgrXRY5UonKEadRv64vN7xlxkshAETVGWC12DK5gB6X7o/s6000/IMG_4315.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="6000" height="133" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhen6aTdga5D6lc0RxY1Nh5OoLFdmbonxNZTXFAC09tmcsZX8G7Se0uUGbhkUhi9EoKO9gLLW_CbL3_AmE102bHpIbvpG2KEBonxPiEOu1nf_N9phWZJM2aqipvvq8tEwoXK1tmL0n9zwfVd-sgrXRY5UonKEadRv64vN7xlxkshAETVGWC12DK5gB6X7o/w200-h133/IMG_4315.JPG" width="200" /></a></div><br /><o:p></o:p><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"></p>The hardware features of this case are that the Motherboard is
rotated 90 degrees so the GPU is vertical. The case can fit up to 220mm PSU. For
data storage, you can have up to two 2.5 or 3.5 HDDs on the back and two 2.5
HDDs on the right side. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It may not be

<p class="MsoNormal">At the end of everything The Tower 200 Snow case is great-looking
and very space-efficient. The small form factor does make it a little
challenging when putting the build together. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But in the end it will be worth it if you are
looking for a computer that won't take up that much space. The airflow is great
and has a spectacular dust filter system to help keep your system from getting
too much dust. At a price point of $129.99 and $44.99, we will be awarding the ThermalTake Tower 200 Snow and the ToughFan 12 Pro our Highly Recommended award.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For more info and complete specs, check out

drive. But if it’s more of a ride then a drive, because it’s a Harley Davidson,
Kenwood has you covered there as well. They have a new line of products for certain models of 2014 and up Harley Davidson motorcycles, which are part of Kenwood’s motorsport line. Up
for review is their Kenwood Excelon Motorsport XM65R, MSRP is $199.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">The Kenwood Excelon Motorsport XM65R came in a standard box
with specs of the speaker. Opening the box revealed a very well protected
speaker held in place by custom molded Styrofoam. Materials used in construction
was mostly plastic. Quality of materials as well as fit and finish, was
excellent. Also included was the owner’s manual.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I absolutely love the design of the Kenwood Excelon
Motorsport XM65R. Loud typically means high power handling. High power handling
means larger magnet. But larger magnet means deeper location space is needed. To
combat against that, Kenwood went with Neodymium for the magnet. It’s a higher
cost, but is a much smaller magnet size. To help shave some cost, they went
with a plastic gasket. While it’s cheaper to make then steal or cast aluminum,
there’s also no concern of potential rust in the future. And it also has improved
acoustic properties as well, such as reduced resonance.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">The design also helps with limited depth. The Neodymium
magnet helps with this, but so does the speaker design. The rubber surround is
surprisingly inverted. This allows for the same level of performance, but less
space needed. Kenwood also took the need steps for the speaker to handle the
elements, with water resistance materials. After all, being on a motorcycle,
these could get rained on. This is a thoughtfully designed speaker that Kenwood
executed in spades. Now let’s see how it sounds.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Kenwood did an excellent job in the design and execution of
the Kenwood Excelon Motorsport XM65R 6.5” coaxial speaker. Designed for the
Harley Davidson motorcycle, it can handle a lot of power, plays loud, and can
handle the elements. So when you are out enjoying the outdoors on your Harley Davidson, and that certain song like Tom Sawyer some on and it has to be blasted….it
also sounds great doing it! Based on its design, features, quality and
performance, the Kenwood XM65R has earned our Highly Recommended award. For

<p class="MsoNormal">The Yeyian Pegasus 850W Power supply came in a cardboard box
that is neon green on the sides and gray on the top and bottom. It has a nice high-definition
picture of the unit on the top and two pictures on the bottom, one of the front
of the PSU and the other is the back. Inside of the box is the PSU with a
custom fitted black Styrofoam ring to secure the PSU.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Next to the PSU is a cardboard box that holds
the cables for the unit, they also have the screws to secure the unit after
installing as well as some zip ties, and the final thing in the box is an
installation booklet in both English and Spanish and a QR code for the user
manual and warranty information.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">One of the cool features of the PSU is that it is fully
compatible with ATX 3.0. Meaning it can sustain up to 3x GPU power excursion
and 2x power excursion. The PSU also has the full protection to make sure you
and your system will remain safe while in use. I really like how they are
making efforts to keep up with the continued new requirements that are always
coming. Making this PSU compatible with 3.0 ATX as well as the newer PCI-E 5.0
connector for the GPUs.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p><br /></o:p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDXAUHYYNm8TLsQ0FmJYgbkFo_g1-kLG_ACuQSleNzegOpjSIDc8Ebu1mRrPosMYybtlLb36ZcYYq9soBXOomIi1o3CviFVyljpHpkT9GfXcLk5UDT33iRY9k4-TK4VpAQdYiNWcsuUwudOOFvqvr7zjOI1jhfeEkce7-jCMup-SkwEDV2xXAL8F3Hmu8/s6000/IMG_4197.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="6000" height="133" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDXAUHYYNm8TLsQ0FmJYgbkFo_g1-kLG_ACuQSleNzegOpjSIDc8Ebu1mRrPosMYybtlLb36ZcYYq9soBXOomIi1o3CviFVyljpHpkT9GfXcLk5UDT33iRY9k4-TK4VpAQdYiNWcsuUwudOOFvqvr7zjOI1jhfeEkce7-jCMup-SkwEDV2xXAL8F3Hmu8/w200-h133/IMG_4197.JPG" width="200" /></a></div><p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">In conclusion the Pegasus 850W from Yeyian is a great PSU
for a build that you would typically see. With it being 850W it is more than
enough for most budget to middle systems. With the ATX 3.0 compatibility and
the PCI-E 5.0 connector it is a great unit to get for future proofing your

And if you’re like me, it’s time to hit the
outdoors. Whether that means hitting the trails in your side by side, the golf
course in your golf cart, or the lake in your boat, you may want to bring your
tunes with you. Kenwood has a knack for providing the products we need to enjoy
our music in our various vehicles. Up for review today is their Kenwood Excelon
KMR-XM500. MSRP is a very reasonable $500.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">The Kenwood Excelon KMR-XM500 came in a great looking color
printed box with photos and specs of the receiver. Opening the box revealed a well-protected
product, held in place by custom molded Styrofoam. Materials used in the
construction was plastic and some metal. Quality of materials used, as well as
fit and finish, is very good. This is Kenwood’s top motorsport receiver, and it
shows. Also included was the mounting gasket, bracket, hardware, as well as
wiring harness and owner’s manual.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">It used to be that you needed a receiver for your home audio
system due to all of the different components. Whether it be radio, tape deck,
CD player, Cable TV, VCR, or Blu-ray player, you wanted to be able to listen
to/watch them all thru your speaker system. Car audio used to just be radio and
tape player, or radio and CD player. But it too evolved to a multitude of
choices, such as radio, CD, Sirius XM, Bluetooth, Android Auto, Apple CarPlay,
USB, SD card, etc. now you can take your tunes with you everywhere you go.<o:p></o:p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjq6jir8L2ou6czY_gnMbMIk1TDaPABMIDdGSI_-9GBZRZGn74xx1NMg1GeVMxbZHoCHAk_jIUph_aWFRbpmGUaVjmJqDh7w-l-yF-GmCv1FIju2wBqjC9os8jeWOp4ig5mmn18gbWKb43kT7S-65zNmFfWhe2jPgPVGiWAcH-Fb4TBn3HUQUFJ5OwI5Vw/s6000/IMG_4248.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="6000" height="133" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjq6jir8L2ou6czY_gnMbMIk1TDaPABMIDdGSI_-9GBZRZGn74xx1NMg1GeVMxbZHoCHAk_jIUph_aWFRbpmGUaVjmJqDh7w-l-yF-GmCv1FIju2wBqjC9os8jeWOp4ig5mmn18gbWKb43kT7S-65zNmFfWhe2jPgPVGiWAcH-Fb4TBn3HUQUFJ5OwI5Vw/w200-h133/IMG_4248.JPG" width="200" /></a></div><p></p><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I love the design of the Kenwood Excelon KMR-XM500. Just as
home audio has evolved, followed by car audio, so has audio for our recreation
vehicles. Thanks to Kenwood and their Excelon KMR-XM500, it provides the same
functionality as their car receivers. It has your antenna input for local
radio, Sirius XM connecting USB connector, Aux input, front & rear and
subwoofer audio outputs, and even a video input. All of the different sources
for your music is at your fingertips.<br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" />
<!--[if !supportLineBreakNewLine]--><br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" />
<!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The design of the Kenwood KMR-XM500 is also about getting
the sound that you want. While it has the built-in amp to power your front and
rear speakers, it can take it to the next level as well. Just as Kenwood’s car
receivers have 6-line outputs for front, rear and subs to be connected to
external amps, so has the Kenwood KMR-XM500. So if you want the same caliber of
excellent audio system in your boat, side by side, golf card, or other recreational
vehicle, as you have in your car or truck, the Kenwood KMR-XM500 gives you that
same functionality as well.<o:p></o:p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgucAN7KNHHDWJ3JvD7cHDhIG-3hq9Y0_lM_S06lESJB2MlC9qAsNJGbXQFMTnb_vtfEL84rxAfgTFTjggysK0A6IkOBRQZeXcbuAk45dkK2-X8b3juq_n6zMu5jk2UkR3ytNu_SgotaFeKKu7IFj6N4yWx1aZ2vKLCoq4RqPaalR10uvLvf6iZ23BY_q0/s6000/IMG_4252.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="6000" height="133" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgucAN7KNHHDWJ3JvD7cHDhIG-3hq9Y0_lM_S06lESJB2MlC9qAsNJGbXQFMTnb_vtfEL84rxAfgTFTjggysK0A6IkOBRQZeXcbuAk45dkK2-X8b3juq_n6zMu5jk2UkR3ytNu_SgotaFeKKu7IFj6N4yWx1aZ2vKLCoq4RqPaalR10uvLvf6iZ23BY_q0/w200-h133/IMG_4252.JPG" width="200" /></a></div><p></p><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The innovation doesn’t end there. Kenwood also gave us a
great looking color display. So your input icons look great, as do your
settings. And when using a connected back-up camera, the image of behind your
vehicle looks even better. When using this on a boat, for example, it’s a much
easier way to watch and keep an eye on the water skier on tow behind you!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Installation was rather simple. I love the options the
Kenwood Excelon KMR-XM500 provides. The amp inside is actually 2-ohm rated for
extra power. You also have all of the outputs you have become used to with
Kenwood. There are outputs for external amps should you choose, as well as camera
inputs. All of the expansion options you are used to, has been carried over.
There’s a durable metal housing, with a nice foam gasket to go between the
receiver and your vehicles dash to protect it from the elements, and a U-shaped
metal bracket to hold it into place.<o:p></o:p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLE7leDouHyqtpEkmveDY6AJZPmyHeA_knaBnupiT7n6XM0MCWyuV2D-_gd9FajzQn1xkuVlf7e9_FH_u6z3wSOkNRf4ZKKI_aOUltZGJy9y9wHEuhELiNZHBikZ47tXF45aXBjhWJfBpvf_ABq4QASgGx2TCds9PC_7J-KFJBl60-E3XYqjnbujWSdd4/s6000/IMG_4249.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="6000" height="133" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLE7leDouHyqtpEkmveDY6AJZPmyHeA_knaBnupiT7n6XM0MCWyuV2D-_gd9FajzQn1xkuVlf7e9_FH_u6z3wSOkNRf4ZKKI_aOUltZGJy9y9wHEuhELiNZHBikZ47tXF45aXBjhWJfBpvf_ABq4QASgGx2TCds9PC_7J-KFJBl60-E3XYqjnbujWSdd4/w200-h133/IMG_4249.JPG" width="200" /></a></div><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">To put it to the test, I wanted to test it’s 2-ohm ability.
Kenwood just sent us a pair of their new XM65R 6.5-inch coaxial speakers for their
new Harley Motorcycle series to review, which are 2-ohm speakers. Perfect! It’s
a match made in heaven. Pairing it to my smartphone thru Bluetooth was also a breeze. And there were also the internal settings to make audio adjustments, like with fixed and customizable EQ curves. Now let’s see how it sounds.</p><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">AC/DC – Back in Black: kickdrum had nice dynamics with good
impact and authority. Guitar was nice and raw with nice harmonics. Vocals were
also nice and raw.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Disturbed – Sound of Silence: piano sounded very natural
with great harmonics.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Vocals were silky
smooth with very good resolution of the texture of the timbre.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The acoustic guitar was really crisp, hearing
the contact on the strings.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Violins were
also really smooth.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Tympani was nice and
dynamic with good resolution of the mallet pounding the tympani.<o:p></o:p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitQlQjiJoSkPAOEYmRpiIA9xDfcYLrLjWgUmlvmrvuljDcbSolJHmIQAJlqr5JRzZrJ3k6SBB6dLDNFh6qTflLXcSSVGixmG2yKexRW1MyEteAHk2m-sCNUNX4MLXMHBQjgAYOLvXKsELcbWVXWB7d9Lv0wtwxho3syGpPeMw7j2-Vt98TosINXhzDN9A/s6000/IMG_4250.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="6000" height="133" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitQlQjiJoSkPAOEYmRpiIA9xDfcYLrLjWgUmlvmrvuljDcbSolJHmIQAJlqr5JRzZrJ3k6SBB6dLDNFh6qTflLXcSSVGixmG2yKexRW1MyEteAHk2m-sCNUNX4MLXMHBQjgAYOLvXKsELcbWVXWB7d9Lv0wtwxho3syGpPeMw7j2-Vt98TosINXhzDN9A/w200-h133/IMG_4250.JPG" width="200" /></a></div><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Rush – Tom Sawyer:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Kick drum had really good impact.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>It was nice and tight, with good low-end extension, and played with good
authority.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Snare drum was nice and
dynamic.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Cymbals were really crisp and
clean with great resolution of the impact of the wood sticks on the metal
cymbal.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Vocals were silky smooth with
excellent harmonics of the texture of the timbre.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Guitar sounded nice and raw.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The drums were killer with better-than-expected
pitch definition of the midbass, that was very dynamic and played with great authority.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Obviously noticeable was also the soundstage
and imaging.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The soundstage revealed to
be not only wide but also deep.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And
imaging for the different instruments was spot on.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I was impressed with the Kenwood Excelon KMR-XM500.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>With a round design, it will fit in the
3-inch gauge space of any recreational vehicle like a side by side, boat, or golf
cart.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The metal design of the housing
also appears to do double duty as a heat sink as well.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>To test this, after rocking out with many of
my favorite tracts and seeing what the KMR-XM500 can do, I wanted to check the temperature
of the housing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Kenwood Excelon KMR-XM500 did very well powering the Kenwood XM65R 6.5-inch coaxial speakers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After a long listening session, there was not
a single hiccup.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And touching the metal
housing revealed that they were only a tad warm. But that showed that it was
doing double duty as a heat sink, and they were doing very well!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So handling a 2-ohm load is not a problem.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">The Poly Voyager Free 60+ came in a standard carboard box.
Opening the box revealed a well-protected IEM, held in its charging case.
Materials used in the construction was mostly plastic, with some metal. Quality
of materials used was very good, as well as the fit and finish. Also included
was the charging case, charging cable, additional sizes of ear tips, USB toggle,
and user manual.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I really like the design of the Poly Voyager Free 60+. Ever
since COVID, businesses have allowed a higher percentage of the workforce to
work remote from home. These are designed for work. The built-in 3 mics ensure
good call quality. There’s also Active Noise cancelling. So if your environment
is not as quiet as you may like for a business call, whoever you are talking to
will be able to hear you clearly, cutting out your noisy environment. <o:p></o:p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmpnrsd53_QB7pe-lmZKR8NdresnhCJHBKPvZcmgmBEgHyBUpsGX7HAmx6PWg1hTQLpB2m8U4FgO_bxfzb4Yyl5Su68UdOjys6-2gfbnDx4kJSSQyp2qyZrX5pNs-Kon-UOazYqSv6jR0mQnn1mVCyAYYa0702eb7ytOdgS93A_jrpABwUbKIhmMPg5cc/s6000/IMG_4022.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="6000" height="133" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmpnrsd53_QB7pe-lmZKR8NdresnhCJHBKPvZcmgmBEgHyBUpsGX7HAmx6PWg1hTQLpB2m8U4FgO_bxfzb4Yyl5Su68UdOjys6-2gfbnDx4kJSSQyp2qyZrX5pNs-Kon-UOazYqSv6jR0mQnn1mVCyAYYa0702eb7ytOdgS93A_jrpABwUbKIhmMPg5cc/w200-h133/IMG_4022.JPG" width="200" /></a></div><p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I also liked the touchscreen on the charging case.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It provides simple control of the Poly
Voyager Free 60+. And once the work day’s over, they are designed for double
duty to provide great sound for your tunes. Let’s see how they sound.<o:p></o:p></p>

very natural with good harmonics. Vocals were silky smooth with very good

<p class="MsoNormal">The Thermaltake CTE C750 TG ARGB Snow case came in a cardboard box
with the details and specifications on the box, held secure by Styrofoam, and
wrapped by plastic. Materials used in construction was a combination of metal
and plastic, with a glass side panel.
Quality of materials used as well as the fit and finish, was excellent. The case came with zip ties to help make the
finished wiring more organized, extra screws to help with the building process,
a GPU mounting bracket, and a motherboard speaker. Along with all of those in a
bag there is also the user manual and warranty booklets. The safety features
that are with the shipping help keep the case secure.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgefV7lYYu5jigkRO7FT140EbjIz3BT7IeUvkrrtAhbUPEfMQvyX8xGFlXBsyjUCedbKVTkcZkYSeAsYdKKAbThpwQ8whA6Aa-_YaTqZujg5cPG-k7IBlqlz8zSJmTPi1mEZxSKfu20M2Cbf6q1dM908wWacobYKb_NUbIvJXUi6m12L0cAn2_fyVm2COk/s6000/IMG_4232.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="6000" data-original-width="4000" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgefV7lYYu5jigkRO7FT140EbjIz3BT7IeUvkrrtAhbUPEfMQvyX8xGFlXBsyjUCedbKVTkcZkYSeAsYdKKAbThpwQ8whA6Aa-_YaTqZujg5cPG-k7IBlqlz8zSJmTPi1mEZxSKfu20M2Cbf6q1dM908wWacobYKb_NUbIvJXUi6m12L0cAn2_fyVm2COk/w133-h200/IMG_4232.JPG" width="133" /></a></div><br /><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The Thermaltake CTE C750 TG ARGB Snow has a great white look with
a tempered glass side panel. The locking mechanism for the panel is that it slides
in on the bottom and has two knobs that slide into place to keep it secured
from unwanted removal. The case has four fine mesh dust filters surrounding it
on the top, front, back, and the bottom. The front, top, and back panels are
also secured with the same kind of knobs to make for quick, easy, and secure connection
to the case. On top you have the power button that is shaped in a trapezoid
pattern, a reset button, four USB Type-A 3.0 ports, a USB-C port, the usual
audio ports, and an HDD activity LED.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizPy3rMMY6_a73o8_NSlQ6wq2v9W396lumj3XskscuSmiEaZNtYyZB-QMF3sCP6F1_k5GIKJGrE8It2tXHFUELKjpGYF9yBLcOR7-dAlLApy3zUKz8oH9XJF5LlRxC02x_w34ivhYRV8pFW4uPdHFEPBsqCRXYi3jxjotqx2wQhwK0nj0mFf-6wsD1V6g/s6000/IMG_4243.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="6000" height="133" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizPy3rMMY6_a73o8_NSlQ6wq2v9W396lumj3XskscuSmiEaZNtYyZB-QMF3sCP6F1_k5GIKJGrE8It2tXHFUELKjpGYF9yBLcOR7-dAlLApy3zUKz8oH9XJF5LlRxC02x_w34ivhYRV8pFW4uPdHFEPBsqCRXYi3jxjotqx2wQhwK0nj0mFf-6wsD1V6g/w200-h133/IMG_4243.JPG" width="200" /></a></div><br /><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The case has an interesting design with the motherboard
where it gets rotated 90 degrees and the PCI-E slots on the top of the case as
opposed to the usual back location. It supports Mini ATX, Micro ATX, ATX, and
E-ATX motherboards. The case comes with three 140 mm fans they all are ARGB. One
on the top in the center, one on the top of the back, and the last on the top
in the front. The fan mounting brackets are detachable to make for easier
assembly. In total the case can support up to 14 140 mm fans. This case also
comes with some Velcro straps along the common routes for better cable
management.</p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1V-anCiGEhhH9AaAPRyJPzeJnweUiuYr9-4ZpMRVKiTbiqHO1TMJ09X5bv2N37OIYNgHgT8-MXjcxm_jQuGkmkNnYqm3A_zEzpBgtnmfxKFOFUUjvcSkyb531ieeiG0gMO7yClFp0aqN7sXmCo-pD5yMNH7EU02iuHctLjKXGA032_YnvDA2hAJimekY/s6000/IMG_4234.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="6000" height="133" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1V-anCiGEhhH9AaAPRyJPzeJnweUiuYr9-4ZpMRVKiTbiqHO1TMJ09X5bv2N37OIYNgHgT8-MXjcxm_jQuGkmkNnYqm3A_zEzpBgtnmfxKFOFUUjvcSkyb531ieeiG0gMO7yClFp0aqN7sXmCo-pD5yMNH7EU02iuHctLjKXGA032_YnvDA2hAJimekY/w200-h133/IMG_4234.JPG" width="200" /></a></div><br /><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The Thermaltake CTE C750 TG ARGB Snow comes with some great
storage opportunities, such as being able to hold up to seven 3.5 hard drives
or twelve 2.5 hard drives. Behind the motherboard mounting there is a hard
drive mounting plate you are able to put three 3.5 hard drives or 5 2.5 hard
drives as well as on the bottom of the case instead of fans. And the final spot
to put hard drives is behind the motherboard on a normal hard drive mounting

place to place a pump and reservoir for a water-cooling system.<o:p></o:p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuWhNripTIbTfYRoM8RTNoxQmwYcMGaal3Ox-ySth2frgogeexK2GJWUDCE2VCE85l6jsmUG2nT3QH1P1lnkNHNpmOvzvuouC4vkmVq12QeCScpHKk-Fw6VdRp7Ey_RVwEBTAlhfE01Zwf3WbBRW2fJcqtvmMPTzEvOFTsk7zWa9-sIDcWPWsbXTa7ePk/s6000/IMG_4240.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="6000" height="133" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuWhNripTIbTfYRoM8RTNoxQmwYcMGaal3Ox-ySth2frgogeexK2GJWUDCE2VCE85l6jsmUG2nT3QH1P1lnkNHNpmOvzvuouC4vkmVq12QeCScpHKk-Fw6VdRp7Ey_RVwEBTAlhfE01Zwf3WbBRW2fJcqtvmMPTzEvOFTsk7zWa9-sIDcWPWsbXTa7ePk/w200-h133/IMG_4240.JPG" width="200" /></a></div>

is a great case to get if you are looking to go the whole 9-yards with your
build. The space that it lets you have to work with would be great for a custom
water cooler with the best GPU currently available. But for a budget or mid-level
build it may be a little too much room for you to really make the best of the
display of your build. The airflow with the case is great and you will be able
to keep your system cooled with the intake and exhaust with no problem. At a
price point of $199.99 we will be giving the CTE C750 TG Snow our Highly Recommended
award. For more info and complete specs,

Thanks to the
various options, you can enjoy your music everywhere you go. Even recreation
vehicles, like a side by side, have stereo options. Garmin is a company that
has been making excellent products for decades. And while you may think of GPS
products when you think of Garmin, they have expanded. They now have a stereo
system for recreation vehicles like side by sides. Up for review is their Tread
Audio System, with an $1,199 MSRP.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">The Garmin Tread Audio System came in a great color printed
box with photos of the system. Opening the box revealed a well-protected
product held in place by custom sized cardboard. Materials used in the
construction was mostly plastic with some metal. Quality of materials used, as
well as fit and finish, was excellent. Also included were the adaptors for
installation, wire connectors, and owner’s manual.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I really like the design of the Garmin Tread Audio System.
It’s an all-in-one system, with a processor/amp, and two tower speakers. The
amp processor unit is the brains of the system, and powers the two speakers.
There is an app, and through the app and Bluetooth you control the system and
use your smartphone for your tunes. It’s all you need.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">The amp/processor controls the system, and provides a lot of
functionality. It taps into your electrical system with ground and power
connectors, and has other connections for the two tower speakers. There are
also additional connections for the LED’s. It even has expansion options with
line in/out, USB, and an antenna connection for AM/FM radio. Thanks to
Bluetooth, all you really need for your tunes is your smartphone. Pull up your
favorite music streaming service, or your favorite tunes you have stored on
your phone, and you’re good to go.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">To set-up the system, you would download the app on your
phones. Once you have the app downloaded and your phone paired with the Tread
system, you are ready to go. The Tread app is actually pretty simple, almost
too simple.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You can select your input,
like if you have an antenna, or just using your smartphone.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And then there’s buttons for Zone, Mute, and Volume.
The Tread app is also not just for the audio.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>There’s a drop-down menu on the top left that allows you to add
additional devices, as well as use Group Ride, and Maps.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Tread app is an app to use with all of their
Tread products and not just the Tread Audio System.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was still a little surprised at the app not
including additional audio setting, like an Equalizer and DSP options.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Garmin did a great job with the Tread Audio System. It’s designed
to handle the elements it could find itself in, in a side by side. It’s also
very durable, being able to handle what you throw at it. The amp processor
provides good power for the tower speakers. With a co-axial tweeter and woofer
design, the tower speakers also provide great sound, and with the inputs for an
antenna for radio, USB, and inputs, you also get great functionality. There’s
even wires included in the wiring harness for a second paid of speakers. Using
the system, I can see that Garmin succeeded in providing an audio solution for
your outdoor vehicle.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I was impressed with the installation. Owner’s/Installation
manuals can be hit and miss. Some can be hard to follow, but with Garmin it was
well written and easy to follow. The wires were also extremely well labeled.
This further increased the ease of installation. Mounting the tower speakers,
thanks to the included brackets, was simple. And tapping into the electrical
system with the wiring harness, was also pretty straight forward. Now let’s see
how it sounds.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I was impressed with the sound quality of the Garmin Tread
System. They are designed to play loud, mounted on a recreation vehicle, like a
side by side, and they delivered that in spades. Yet while being able to play
loud, they also provided a very good amount of resolution, and good bass for their size. And a component more
thought of with a high-quality home stereo system, they also provided a wide
soundstage with good depth as well. While the highs were on the bright side,
that can be toned down with equalization. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The LED built into the speakers was also
really cool.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I preferred the setting for
the lights to adjust to the music.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>While
Garmin may have a reputation for high quality GPS devices, they have taken that
leadership and experience to create other products of the same quality.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As the saying goes….the truth is in the
pudding.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And the Garmin Tread Audio
System is that pudding.</p><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4X7te4tFAnfSn9XBBWGm0n2Ykp6re_ZMh8BmRohESLSLlS6byPHucRQ9sptXdhDI-po2E1ab-XkE_KTx_LbIRLPXlpNsP6YAuQW3XECf6tnwfGe4gPBY-Ko_Bk5mrPdD2lXS7ONwD8oNthFlPTvWRXrgD8LpCOScF9_JKDCAwZPl9S7NyRVahvCr6/s6000/IMG_4173.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="6000" height="133" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4X7te4tFAnfSn9XBBWGm0n2Ykp6re_ZMh8BmRohESLSLlS6byPHucRQ9sptXdhDI-po2E1ab-XkE_KTx_LbIRLPXlpNsP6YAuQW3XECf6tnwfGe4gPBY-Ko_Bk5mrPdD2lXS7ONwD8oNthFlPTvWRXrgD8LpCOScF9_JKDCAwZPl9S7NyRVahvCr6/w200-h133/IMG_4173.JPG" width="200" /></a></div>
<p class="MsoNormal">The Garmin Tread Audio System appeared to be a great audio system on
paper. Having used the system, the design proved to be a success. And not only
did it sound great, the Garmin Tread Audio System is also very well made, to
provide years of audio enjoyment. Garmin is proving that their leadership in
great navigation products can transfer to providing other great products as
well. If you are in the market for an audio system for your recreation vehicle
like a side by side, the Garmin Tread Audio System deserves to be on your short
list. Based on its design, features, quality and performance, the Garmin Tread
has earned our Editor’s Choice Award. Kudos to Garmin on such a great product.
