Are you a fan of music and great sound? I definitely am. I love listening to music to just relax after a long day or when having a dance party with my daughters. To do this though I need a good sound system that will give me a full array of sound that will not disappoint.

Recently, I was looking for a new sound system and I was impressed with the new Bowers & Wilkins Formation Bar, Wedge and Bass that is available at Best Buy.

Why did I like this you might ask, well, in looking for a new audio system, I have found that wireless audio systems are the new standard for convenience and whole-home connectivity and with the system I currently have I am very limited to the system and to the wires that I can (or cannot) run to my speakers. I went to Best Buy though to get some questions answered as I have heard some stories from some about concerns that are out there in regards to wireless audio systems such as lower quality and breaks in the sound.

As I was talking to the great people at Best Buy they were the ones that introduced me to the Bowers & Wilkins Formation® Suite, the first wireless audio system that lives up to the exacting standards of Bowers & Wilkins. Some of the things that I personally was impressed with included hat is could okay music in multiple rooms at once. Thus, I could have one speaker in my living room and one in my basement and both could be playing the same music. You have access to wireless streaming so you can tap into your own music library, radio stations and other online services and never miss out on the songs that you love and want to hear more of.

This also gives you amazing sound. It includes a subwoofer, 2 mid-ranges and 2 tweeters – not something that you would traditionally see in a system like this! This along with the 240W of system power allows you to know that you will have great sound for everything from listening to a podcast to watching action packed movie, the sound from this will not let you down.

Bose Home, Soundbar and Bass Module – Smart Speakers Changing Your Home

October 10, 2018 by dadofdivas Leave a Comment

I love technology and so does my family. I guess you would call me an early adopter when it comes to technology. In saying this you might not be surprised to know that I have been working to change over my home to be as smart as it can be. Recently, in a trip to Best Buy I was chatting about home audio and I learned about the new Bose Smart Home Speakers and Soundbars that they now have available. One of the things that I love about Bose is the superior sound quality but even beyond this, Bose has now turned its’ speakers into smart speakers which make the speakers even easier to use.

The smart speakers and soundbars all work together. The Bose Soundbar 700 was designed to be the world’s best soundbar. It offers an unmatched combination of design and exceptional sound. The Bose Soundbar 500 offers a thin profile that fits discreetly under your TV, all without compromising sound quality. With the Bose Home Speaker 500 you’ll hear the widest sound of any smart speaker.

In listening to these speakers Bose continues to have superior sound. With this sound you can truly have unlimited entertainment possibilities. The new Bose family of smart speakers and soundbars has built-in voice control from Amazon Alexa that puts millions of songs at the tip of your tongue. And with Wi-Fi® and Bluetooth® compatibility, you can wirelessly stream whatever you want, however you want. Plus, I have heard that there will be future software updates that will add new features.

Control goes way beyond voice. These speakers give you the ability to enjoy one-touch access to the music you love or manage it all from the Bose Music app. If you want more music in more rooms the new Bose family of smart speakers and soundbars work together. The Bose Soundbar 700 is designed to be the world’s best soundbar as it delivers an unmatched combination of sophisticated design and exceptional sound. The Bose Soundbar 500 has a thin profile that fits discreetly under your TV, while its powerful acoustics fill the room with sound. And the Bose Home Speaker 500 delivers the widest sound of any smart speaker.

Setting Up A Home Studio For Talking To Others With Samson Products

July 23, 2015 by dadofdivas Leave a Comment

Many of you know that I recently started a new website and podcast with fellow blogger and friend, Don Jackson of DaddyNewbie.com. The podcast, Dad Spotlight speaks to parenting and all of the things that we deal with on a daily basis and I have to say that Don and I are having a blast thus far.

Getting this podcast off the ground took some time and we had to do a lot of research to get it right. Many people talk about the importance to just get it up and going, and I would have to agree, but Don and I also agreed that we wanted to have the structure and equipment in place to get a good sound that would bring people back again and again.

So we spent time, researched items and purchased items. We found what we needed, and what we did not need, and we are still learning a lot about this even today.

One of the things recently that I have come to find is that having only one microphone for one location just does not cut it, and having to transport my primary microphone with me wherever I go just makes no sense. That being said I was excited to work with Samson to try out a few items to set up a more mobile studio per se that allows me to record on the go, get a great recording and sound for playback too.

Samson provided me with two great items, the and the .

As Samson States about the Two:

Samson Meteor

Featuring state of the art sound processing technology and a solid all metal zinc die cast construction, the Meteor M2 pushes the boundaries of volume and sound quality for compact speakers. According to Ask Audio Magazine: “These speakers produce far more bass than speakers of this size should have the right to.” The perfect gift for the avid Netflix watcher, gamer or music freaks, the Meteor M2 provides a true stereo soundscape.

Samson Meteorite

Samson‘s Meteorite is the universal solution for capturing high-quality recordings on your computer. Meteorite is ideal for podcasting, creating audio for YouTube videos and recording music on your favorite software or apps. This sleek microphone will also vastly improve your ability to communicate with friends, family and business associates on programs like Skype, FaceTime and other VoIP software.

So I decided to set this up at home as a mobile studio and see what it would take to create a way to do the podcast from there (instead of in the studio environment itself). Granted, I did this without the kids around to keep the noise down. That being said, I have to say that first off, the set up was easy and seamless. There were no issues and the computer immediately accepted everything.

First off- lets start with the microphone. This small microphone takes up so little space, but it picks up a ton of sound and really provides high quality for recording purposes. I loved how the microphone simply sits in the magnetic cradle ans wirelessly connects to the base – talk about high-tech! The audio quality for the microphone was very clear and I had a hard time noticing a difference between this and my other microphone, except for the fact that I did not have a wind screen in front of this one as I do for the other one that I own.

For the price for how small this microphone was I was very impressed with the microphone itself. You get a ton of power in the petite size of this microphone!

The speakers were so retro! I loved the sleek design and the look and feel of them. They are heavy duty and provide you with amazing sound. I was really impressed with the overall design and quality of these speakers and they were such a step up from what I had used in the past. While I was not using these primarily for music, I did try them with a CD or two and found the bass to be amazing and the treble to rock as well.

Both of these products offered so much more than I expected and for the price they were a very good value and would allow you to easily set up a mobile studio for yourself in no time!

If you would be interested in purchasing these, you can find them on Amazon through the (Aff) links below!

Have you used Samson products in the past? If so, which ones and what was your experience? If not, what are you using for microphone or speakers in your own home?

Look forward to hearing your thoughts!
