How is this one different than the more expensive blue model? Also, does it give me my biofeedback reading or is it only for visual and sound effects?

The Procon (blue model) has a built in USB connector, and red, green and blue lights. Also, there are 255 shades of each color vs. 16 shades each in red and green in the case of Proteus. The Procyon provides much more control over color waveform, pulse width etc. but that only matters if you want to write your own programs, using the free Editor software from mindplacesupport.com.

Quality-wise, the SX1000 is as good as it gets at this price and this form factor. As far as better than the 712, I can't say as I haven't heard one of those, but this one has a limiter and a low-cut filter, which will save your life sometimes in certain situations (i.e. you have manually set the recording level for a live band in a club, but they get a little bit louder sometimes and you don't find out till later). And as Jay Jay Jay said in one of his replies to a question about lectures, the stereo mode with appropriately-set mic sensitivity was far superior to trying to use the monophonic and directional lecture mode with this device.

Read this article: http://www.hdtvtest.co.uk/news/pn64h5000-201403143657.htm. It does the best job summing up the TV. Yes, when I am 2 feet from the TV you can see the honeycomb effect. I don't watch the TV at this distance. At 5' it noticeably less it and by 10' it is not noticeable at all. Admittedly it did bug me a little at first every time I would walk in front of the TV, but now I am fine with it. Movies have been awesome and I didn't have to shell out over $2k to get a 240Hz LCD of the same size. I didn't need a smart TV w/my Blu-ray player and have an Onkyo TX-NR818 in a 7.1 config for sound. I definitely prefer the plasma refresh rate with no ghosting with fast action on the screen.

Works fine with BMCC. I think the Tilta one worked better, much more solid and better feel, but more $$$ :)

I honestly did not get to try it, but I think that same effect could be replicated by just knowing that is the target heart rate that you need to achieve to continue to the next set. I mean, how many people work out completely unaware of this heart monitor or this system. If the benefits were that great, we would see it in more fitness and health literature. My suggestion is: find out what your "ready for next set" heart rate is, and buy a FT60 and use it to monitor it on the exercise mode. You will save $70. Also, the relaxation test seems to be a gimmick and a joke.

I do like it for the feedback. I mostly use it for meditation with the sound off, but then other times with sound on to get practice with the feedback. It is nice to review what it measured during a meditation session.

Probably Ultimate Ears Personal Reference Monitors are better but they are twice the price .. :)

Hi Ice Girl. Yes indeed. You also get a coherence coach on your PC/Mac, which is very efficient. In my opinion, the emWave2 is far better than the stress eraser, because you also get the emotional shift - which will help you build resilience. New feature is the "Heart Cloud" where you can monitor all your results. I absolutely love mine!

I like the Pyle. It's perfect for me as I DJ at various venues and they are sticklers for DB readings. I would recommend this sound level meter. This one holds steady. If you are trying to use it to master or calibrate the level, might be better to do it in the studio on the boards and re-master session. Or, if you are holding it while you are listening to the sounds, it will give you a reading on what it hears. Can't decipher tones and if you are trying to listen to one deck vs. another. I hope this helps??

As an audio engineer, I can personally tell the difference between the two models. However, to the untrained ear of a casual listener it will be very difficult to notice any difference. This will also differ from person to person as every set of ears and every human brain are just a little bit different. Therefore not every human being is capable of hearing all of the frequencies being omitted from the speakers. That being said, the difference between models is their frequency range. Ask yourself these questions before making a decision : 1) Do you commonly notice a difference in the overall sound quality when listening to music on different speakers? 2) Does your listening pleasure diminish when you notice these differences? 3) Are you the kind of person that doesn't mind spending a little more money if you know that you will be getting a better quality product? If you answered yes to these questions, then I would recommend doing as I did and purchasing the 800 model. BTW, if you're "all about that bass" the 800 will also be more appealing as the main difference is the low end frequencies as they always improve with size. I hope this was helpful! Matt. W.

Works great to me. It feels marginally simulated if you're closely paying attention but in the heat of an FPS, I never even notice. My brain automatically tells my fingers where the target is and I turn and it's always right where it "sounded" like it was. If you test it by listening to a fixed sound source and rotate it around you and listen carefully, you can tell it's simulated particularly at the transition points (such as front right to mid right, mid right to rear right, etc.). I'm an audiophile and quite picky about my sound but find the simulation more than acceptable. It isn't flawless but to save money, size and weight, it works great and like I said, in the heat of it, it's dead on which is all that matters to me.

Hi Alfred - MacBob's response is pretty much spot on. 30b is pretty much silent, your going to have a terrible time trying to locate somewhere with a reading below this level unless you are in a sound studio in which case you should probably buy a much advanced device. Anything less usually cannot be heard by the human ear very well. The cost to make a device to measure below this level would raise the price considerably. There are some out there that can read lower but you will certainly pay much more for these units.You should expect a normal "silent" room to come in at about 35-50 dba which is quite quiet.Sincerely,BAFX Products Support Hi Alfred - MacBob's response is pretty much spot on. 30b is pretty much silent, your going to have a terrible time trying to locate somewhere with a reading below this level unless you are in a sound studio in which case you should probably buy a much advanced device.

I bought the bd 530 at walmart for 65 bucks. For a blu ray player it's worth the price, I can browse you tube and play funny videos. I might not get my netflix, but that's why I have a monitor cable to hook my laptop or pc to the bigscreen. Enjoy the bd 530 it's a great buy.

That's what I'm using it for. I have SVT. it has color peak rate settings you can adjust via the app.

Thanks for the reply. If you're right, it's odd that it's the one with the facial recognition that is cheaper---maybe there's some other difference?

Honestly, I can not compare as I have not tried the other. Obviously, it has lots more power. As a previous audiophile, I can tell you that although "sound bars" are convenient they do not compare with real amplifiers and reals speakers. I can tell you I am happy with the sound, and the digital input works well with my 60 inch 1080p 3D TV. My only complaint is when you use digital input you have to use the rinky dink remote that came with the sound bar to control the volume. My advise is don't skimp on sound it is just as important as the picture when it comes to watching movies. Honestly, I can not compare as I have not tried the other.

While I'm not sure if it uses Bluetrack, I have noticed that it works differently on different surfaces. I've noticed a change in sensitivity when switching from a heavy lacquered wood desk to MDF to my cutting mat to formica to marble countertops to bedsheets. Bedsheets being the worst. It's fairly negligible with average internet trolling use but when I'm using programs like solidworks and illustrator or anything else in the adobe creative suite where accuracy is important I've found it to be frustrating.
