Whats the difference between the regular Apple iPhone and the new iPhone 3g?

speaker system iphone 4 image

*Kristy* <

whats the difference between the regular iPhone and the iPhone 3g? and how much do they cost?
and are they going to come out with newer better iphones? and when?

Answer
The key differences between the original iPhone and the newer 3G model are:

1. The inclusion of a 3G radio which allows data to be transferred at about 200-300% faster rates (roughly, assuming good signal quality), compared the to the EDGE radio in the original iPhone.

2. They changed the case. The design is more of a wedge shape versus the rounded shape of the original iPhone. According to most people, this makes the new 3G iPhone more comfortable to hold in the hand. The original had a brushed aluminium backplate, and the new one has more of a hard plastic back. Also they added a new color choice to the phone: white.

3. They added a GPS - so Google maps now has a real-time updating GPS versus the previous system which relied on something like trangulation of cell phone towers to determine location but which only gave a relative idea.

4. They improved the battery life - the battery lasts about 2 hours longer for calls.

5. They unrecessed the headphone jack on the new iPhone - the original iPhone had a recessed jack that made it hard to plug in a lot of headphones.

6. They changed the screen color from a vaguely bluish tinge to more of a yellowish tinge. It's not easily noticed but some people prefer the original over the newer one.

7. They improved the microphone quality and the speaker quality to make it easier to listen to music without headphones and it makes calls clearer.

8. They changed the method of signing up for a contract - you used to be able to wander in and buy one... with cash originally without having to sign a contract. You just walked in and bought it and walked out and then figured out the contract when you plugged it into a computer at home.

9. They changed the price. It appears that they lowered the price by lowering it from $399 to $199 (for the 8GB model), but they raised the monthly fee by $10 - which adds $240 over the two year mandatory contract period... so it costs $40 more (over 2 years) than the original one.


They will likely continue to come out with a new model every summer. This would be similar to what Apple does with other products like iPods, so it's a fairly safe guess that next summer around June/July 2009, there will be a newer version of the iPhone.

How do I connect an apple AirTunes to my Bose 3-2-1 speaker system?

best 2.1 speaker system bose image

yerdos13

I just got an apple AirPort Base which I use for airTunes. I was wondering what kind of cord I would need to connect it to my Bose 3-2-1 entertainment system. The airTunes has an 1/8" headphone-type output, but the Bose doesn't.

Answer
It depends on what the Bose has. I would guess it has an RCA jack, in which case you would need a "mini to RCA" adapter, which you can get at Radio Shack.

Are there any products similar to the Bose 3-2-1 speaker system without the high price tag?

gw

My 3-2-1 just went caput and I am looking for a less expensive replacement

Answer
You might check with Bose. It could still be under warranty. It's worth a shot anyway.

In my experience Bose products have an MSRP that's more than double what it should be. The 3-2-1 system is nothing more than simulated surround sound, so a good 2.1 system or surround bar should be a good replacement.

Or.....you could buy a decent receiver and a 5.1 speaker set. The Onkyo TX-SR606 is a great deal for $425. There are a number of different speaker sets, ranging from the solid but inexpensive Polk Audio RM6750 ($219) to the impressive and costly Aperion Intimus 4T ($1,569).

Is there something like a cable for HD channels or 3D channels that I should get?
And if I have a standard cable with standard channels, would I be able to view stuff in HD, 3D?
Thanks

Answer
Yes, you will need 2 HDMI cables, assuming your TV has 2 or more HDMI inputs. You'll at least need one for the BlueRay, the game console could get away with composite cable connections.

You'll also need somewhere to connect the other end of that 30' Ethernet cable. If you have a router, hub, switch or CAT5 jack in the room you'll be OK, otherwise you'll need to decide how to connect the Xbox.

What home theater system sould i get?

littlebowl

I am looking for a home theater system to go with my tv in my basement. I have a budget of about $400 so i cant go overboard. I would also prefer a wireless set up. If anyone could help with ideas it would be great.

Answer
cant go over board eeh? 400$ is about 2x what most people plan on spending on a system.

but that is good, you can get better stuff with more money.

bassicly, any thine by a major brand is a good buy, sony, kenwood, panisonic ect...

but honestly, i would make my own system, its not hard, just buy something like these speakers:

http://cgi.ebay.com/5-SPEAKER-SURROUND-SOUND-HOME-THEATER-5-1-CERWIN-VEGA-/160485661245?pt=Speakers_Subwoofers&hash=item255db0da3d

then buy one of these recievers:

then buy a nice subwoofer like this:

that custom system with the self powered sub will beat any home theater system from a box you can get for under 750$

What is a good desktop computer speaker system?

speaker system 2.1 image

palman18

I want to buy some new computer speakers since my old cheap speakers broke and I'm sick of using a gaming headset for music and movies. I am looking to spend around $150-200 on a good speaker system. I am a "semi-audiophile" and I appreciate good sound. I would prefer a system with a good balance of highs, mids, and lows and would rather have a good 2.1 system than a cheap surround sound system. I would prefer a system with a subwoofer, but if there are any that have good bass without one, I am open to it. I don't have a sound card on my computer, but I am open to buying one if it makes a considerable difference. Any help is appreciated.

Answer
Here are a few speaker systems that fall within your price range.

In terms of bass and sound quality what speaker system is better?

Jeff Benne

Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 THX Certified Computer Speaker System
or the
Logitech Z-2300 THX-Certified 2.1 Speaker System with Subwoofer

Thanks!

Answer
The klipsch by a long shot.

Klipsch is a high-end speaker company that specializes in speakers, and speakers only.

Logitech is just a computer peripheral company that just makes a a little of everything.

A jack of all trades is the ace of none.



But in all seriousness, the Klipsch Pro Medias will outperform the Logitechs in every way. Just make sure you have a decent sound card to use with them. No speaker sounds good unless it's running on a decent sound card. Some newer PCs have decent built in sound, but the best way to go is still a sound card. Creative is the way to go there.


Good luck

In home theater system what is the optimum reciever and speaker system to work with HDTV and HD blue ray DVD?

best 6.1 speaker system image

pezheshk

What number speakers are needed 5.1 or recent 7.1? Is it better to go with "all-in-one" system like Bose or mix and match with specific receiver and speaker system?

Answer
This depends on you and your environment. 5.1 does fine for most but 7.1 will be more emersive. All in one systems never match up to separates but are less expensive ( aside from Bose) If you want a system in the Bose price range look for the Energy "Classic" Take 5 system. This was called the "Bose Killer" a few years ago. It used to be $900 for the speaker system w/sub but was recently rereleased at about $500 and still hold up very well. At the time when I worked at the good guys! in the audio department 9 out of 10 people who came in asking for Bose when they came in bought the Take 5 after listening to both. You can get a fully featured receiver to go with it for about $500. The Sony STRDG910 gets good reviews. This would make a great starter system and includes great Blu-Ray connectivity. If you want to spend a little more look into Denon or Yamaha receivers and better Energy, Paradigm or Definitive Technology speakers.
I think what "He Who" means is that Dolby Digital is the standard audio format for HD broadcast. It isn't all 5.1 necesarily. It can be 5.1, 4.0, 2.0 or even 1.0 (unlikely but is a possibility with Dolby Digital.) DVDs go up to 6.1 and BD movies up to 7.1.

hello

I need help choosing a speaker system. I was looking at the Altec Lansing MIX imt800 and it seemed pretty good. However, I would prefer to have lots of bass so i want a subwoofer. I looked at the Logitech and it also seem pretty good. Bose makes great headphones, but the reviews for the speakers aren't very positive. Which of the above is the best? Am i looking at the wrong speakers?

P.S. Im not looking to put them in my home theatre. They're simply for my ipod.

Go with Altec lansing. better quality all around and lasts longer imo.

Can I use the Logitech Speaker System Z313 with my laptop?

Chris J

I'm looking for some new speakers for my room, and I'm trying to decide between the Logitech Z313 and the Z323 models. I like the Z313 model because of the hand control, but I'm not sure if I will be able to plug in either of them to my laptop. If it helps, I have 3 USB ports, an ethernet port, a port (not sure what its called) that is used to plug in projecters to, a red mic port, a green "audio?" port, and a headphone jack. Please help me if you can; also a review on one or both of those systems would be great,
Sorry guys- just checked and the headphone jack is actually the green audio jack. My mistake.

Answer
Either speaker system will work with your laptop. They would connect to the black/uncolored audio jack (looks similar to the headphone jack), which should be labeled "Line Out". Unless the green is the only Audio Out that your laptop has, in which case the speakers would connect to that.

Feature-wise, the Z323 is better in that it has slightly better output power and range (30 Watts RMS & 40Hz-20kHz vs 25 Watts & 48Hz-20kHz), and it has multiple inputs, so you can connect more than just your laptop to it. If you do not need the extra inputs, however, then the Z313 will work fine; 5 Watts and 8Hz difference are not worth the extra $20 by themselves.

Can anyone suggest a good sound system for under 500 or under ?

best speaker system under 500 image

dev

I'm on a tight budget and want to know if there is a sound system that someone can put together for me for under 500 . Thanks for any help , I need it .

Answer
let us know what your wanting out of the system man. Are you a bass lover, or more of a Crisp clean music kind of guy, or do you want clean sounding music with a nice touch of bass? if you LOVE bass and want a system that bumps pretty hard. i reccomend 2 subwoofers.

if you listen to lots of rap go with 12s or 15s they are BOOMY

if you mostly listen to rock/metal go with 10s

if you listen to LOTS of genres of music i would go with 2 12s as they are mostly boomy yet slightly punchy.

Rockford fosgate, Polk Audio, Kicker, Soundstream, (not soundstorm) , and memphis make some great entry level affordable subwoofers, and speakers.

What is a good speaker system for under 500 bucks?

George

It does not necessarily have to be a complete system, even include the new soundbar systems.

Thank you

Answer
To be honest speakers are only part of what you need for great crisp sound. I will assume you have a good receiver and you are looking for a 5.1 system or even 6.1?? If so I honestly recommend Onkyo. I have had Dennon and Phillips and Sony speakers and they don't compete with wattage or range of sound compared to price. They are my vote for a system under 500. They offer many different styles to meet your needs, at least check them out. I ordered mine from ecost.com and they had an amazing deal on them, but you can get them in stores too.

Can I hook up 2 different speaker systems to my Windows 7 computer?

speaker system for a computer image

Newsh

I have a cheap, decent speaker surround sound system with sub woofer and 2 speakers. The sub plugs into the power bar, plugged into the wall outlet. I've had this with my computer since I got it 2 years ago. They are Insignia speakers and sub. I also have a Logitech speaker system now with Subs and two speakers. The sub woofer has pretty good base for a cheap brand, I want to connect the 2 different speaker systems to my computer and play music at the same time. Can I do this? I got those logitech speakers from my mom because she doesn't need all that sound on her computer and she got a new computer. I just want to see how loud it is. I have plenty of USB ports on my computer. I don't know if they will run on the same sound card? I know I have plugged in my USB headset with microphone attached and I can use the microphone that's attached to the headset, have music coming through the speakers and my voice through the speakers, not music through the headphone part, so I might be able to do this.
@ Reece... Word up, thanks a lot for helpin a brother out lol!
Also, will 2 speaker systems sound good when I hook them up properly? I just don't want the sound to be all over the place, and no delays between speaker systems and music playing, and smooth sound, etc.

I would like to connect my TV and computer to the same speaker system, and switch between them at will. Can I do this somewhat cheaply? I don't need 5.1 sound, an inexpensive 2.1 system would be fine, I just want to make sure I can switch between 2 inputs.

Answer
A simple RCA A/V switch will work fine - you may need some adapters depending on what inputs and speakers you are using:

Just use the red/white audio jacks - leave the yellow video unconnected.

I have the samsung GS3 and my gf has an iphone, and i am looking for a "bose-like" speaker system that can play both through wireless or bluetooth means.

any suggestions are greatly appreciated but i would like to keep the price down to a reasonable amount. <2-hundo.

i know bose can be pretty expensive for what they offer.

Answer
"bose-like" does that mean you want something that is overpriced junk?

All kidding aside. If you are after the best sound quality get a good set of speakers (preferably with a built in Amp). Then connect it to a wireless or bluetooth streaming module.

For the speakers I'd recommend AudioEngine A2 or A5s.

For streaming I'd get an Airport Extreme for your GFs iPhone. If you want bluetooth get one of these

I need a very inespensive speaker system. The ideal system would be wireless.
Basically what I want to do is have these speakers play music either from my laptop or cd player, and wirelessly be placed in my kitchen, living room and basement. I think 6 speakers would be ideal.

I would like to spend around $100 because these will be used only 1-2 times. Every thing I have found is really expensive, or doesn't suit my needs.

Thank you!

Can i connect a car subwoofer and amplifier to a PA speaker system?

best speaker system for a car image

Derek

I have a PA speaker system which is very loud and has great sound but has absolutely no bass. However, I also have a 15 Alpine Type R car subwoofer powered by a Kenwood 1800 Watt Mono car Amp. I would love to be able to connect this sub and amp to my PA system to create a great sound system for my house but I have no idea how to do it or if it is even possible... Can anybody help?

Answer
Yes, this can be done but things to consider is 1) How to power the car amp in your house? You could bring a cr battery in but that's only going to suppy the electrical current you need for a short time, then you will need to recharge it. My suggestion would be to invest in a "Regulated Power Suppy" to convert your house 120vac current to DC current like your car's electrical provides. Also to get the max power from you kenwood amp to you alpine car sub, you're going a power supply capable of delivering between 13.5 -14.4 volts DC which is the average range for most car electrical alternator voltage and what your car amp need to produce max power. ) Then ther's the matter of feeding the signal from your PA to you car amp. The safest way for this would be to use a "Line Level" signal say from the rec , or Record out jacks usually Red & White (RCA) type to the "Line In" Inputs of your car amp. After that it's just a matter of playing your music through your PA and adjusting the level on you kenwood to match your listening preference. Just remember when you increase the volume of the PA you may need to increase the level on your car amp as well since you are feeding a line level signal from the PA to the car amp. the PA volume control will not have and effect on the amp volume. In short what you want to do can indeed be done but there are easier ways to add the bass you want to you PA. Hope this helped you out.You may email me if you like at rudedog5876@gmail.com for some other options you want to consider.

Does a built in home theater system add much resale value to condo or home?

speaker system sale image

William S

I want to install a 7.1 channel speaker system in my condo. This would include 7 speakers mounted in the ceiling and a flat screen tv mounted on the wall. I want to know if this will increase the resale value of my condo very much in the midwest. Will the resale value increase the same or more than the amount I put into the system?

Answer
In this dismal market, I would have to agree with lahn. It may not help much at appraisal time, but when there's 5 houses on your block for sale, and you have a nice theater, you have a leg up on the others. You might get a higher offer, you might be more likely to sell.

We completed a home automation system for a client that wanted to sell last spring. There were 12 homes for sale in their neighborhood the day they put theirs on the market. Two days later they had a decent offer and 3 days after that, they opened escrow. All the houses were nice, several had pools, only one was automated.

How does a magnavox d8443 boombox have five speakers?

yahooman!!

Why do I only see 3 on it, when it is clearly labeled 5 speaker system.

Answer
There are tweeters above the left and right drivers.


By some strange chance, I saw one of these
at an estate sale in Santa Maria, CA, last weekend.
I came close to buying it myself,
but didn't think I should spend the money
and couldn't figure out where to store the thing.

Should i replace the speaker system in my 2005 bmw 325i? Are BMW factory speakers good quality?

narwhal023

I would assume theyre already good quality bc they are speakers that came installed in a BMW, but I do not know anything about speakers or sound quality. Of course i can always get better quality speakers, but would it be worth it if I spent $150-$200 to replace them?

Answer
Actually, all BMW systems are amplified since the late 80's. Most have multi-channel amps built by Philips with electronic crossovers for each speaker. If you have 10 speakers, there is a 10-channel amp.

The speakers are (oddly enough) often made by Nokia or AT&T.

How do I get rid of annoying feedback from my receiver?

Michael N

I have a philips 42" plasma tv in my livingroom. I like to listen to TV loud, and am afraid I will damage the interior speakers in the TV, so I decided to use my CD/DVD/Surround system (also philips) for the sound instead of using the tv speakers. The only thing is that I get a really annoying fairly loud feedback by doing this. Any ideas anyone?
No, not high pitched feedback, something like a low humming sound is what im getting. Of course I disable my TV speakers when I use the receiver. Im using RCA for the connection

Answer
your can either buy an optical cable or buy better RCA cables that have better shielding so there's no feedback.

Is there a home theater speaker system that sounds just as amazing as Bose but at a cheaper price?

best speaker system for home theater image

Andrew B

I have always wanted a Bose anything because I love the quality and sound from everything they have done. I know they can be a bit spendy. If there are some home theater speakers from other well known and reliable brands that work just as well I am definitely all ears. I am just in the market of buying a really great speaker system!

Answer
Call into any real Hi-Fi store and they will show you any number of speakers which will out perform Bose for considerably less money, a few that spring instantly to mind are Bowers and Wilkins, Dali Ikon and Tannoy.

Don't buy into the 'Bose are best because they're expensive' ideal.

Bose aren't expensive, they're dear, there is a difference.

I was just wondering if you can hook an ipod into the cinemate 1 SR home theater speaker system??If so does it just hook up or do you need to buy a certain cord for this to work?

If there isn't a 3.5mm INPUT jack, buy a 3.5mm to RCA two channel cord if it has red and white RCA audio INPUT jacks.

What is the shaker 1000 system and how much is it?

Got a 2012 mustang which has the shaker 500 system and I wanna know what is the shaker 1000 system plus is it worth it?!

And if anyone could give me a ballpark on how much $$$ it'd cost to upgrade?

Answer
Alpine Type-R SPR-17S - Car speaker system is a great set of components. Make sure you power them to the recommended wattage. Unfortunately, most amps that can push at least 110 watts at 4 ohm's are more expensive than these speakers. I am running a set off of these only using 55 watts rms and they sound great. Clear and accurate.
