Roku deals start at $25 ahead of Super Bowl LVII

With Super Bowl LVII right around the corner, there are so many Super Bowl TV deals available right now. But not everyone needs a new TV. Instead, plenty of people are looking for new streaming media players for TVs they already have. And there are typically so many Roku deals and Fire TV deals in the weeks ahead of the big game.

We recently told you about a terrific sale on the Fire TV Stick 4K Max. Unfortunately, that deal has now ended. But the good news is that there are tons of Roku deals available in its place, and we’re going to show you all the best ones.

See Pricing

The bottom line is that you can save a ton of money on some of the best Roku streaming media players out there right now.

Prices start at just $24. 99 for the wildly popular Roku Express, but our favorite deal is definitely the Roku Streaming Stick 4K for $39.76 instead of $50.

Before you pick up either of the models mentioned above, you should take a few moments to look through the rest of today’s great deals.

You might be surprised by how many different streaming devices are on sale right now with deep discounts.

Best Roku deals of February 2022

As we mentioned, prices start at $24.99 for the popular Roku Express. That is a great value for the newly upgraded model. The Roku Express is a more traditional streaming media player, so it’s a box and not a dongle. That said, it’s definitely small enough to be tucked away anywhere.

Available on Amazon

As great as that deal is, however, you should think twice before taking advantage of it. That’s because there’s a different deal that gets you a better Roku device with support for 4K and HDR.

In our expert opinion, the best current Roku deal by far is the Roku Streaming Stick 4K.

In addition to getting 4K and HDR like you do with the old Streaming Stick+, the newer Streaming Stick 4K supports Dolby Vision and a few more great features. It also comes with the newer Roku Voice Remote that everyone loves so much.

Plus, it’s much faster than the older model, which was the one complaint many people had about the Streaming Stick+.

Available on Amazon

If this best-seller isn’t your speed, there are other Roku players on sale as well.

Other Roku deals available right now

If all you want is a gadget that you can plug into any TV and start streaming, it really doesn’t get any better than the deals we mentioned above. But some people are looking for a bit more than that.

As the name suggests, the Roku Ultra offers Roku’s ultimate streaming experience. It’s currently 20% off, which slashes the price from $100 to $79. 99. This model does everything the Roku Streaming Stick 4K can do, but it’s much faster and more powerful. Plus, it comes with the upgraded Roku Voice Remote Pro with a rechargeable battery.

Available on Amazon

If you also want to upgrade the sound on your TV, however, there’s one last deal you need to be aware of.

The Roku Streambar used to retail for $130, but Roku has since lowered the MSRP to $100. And right now, there’s an extra 10% discount that drops your cost to $89. This is one of our favorite Roku deals.

The Streambar is a compact soundbar that has Roku’s beloved streaming software built right in, and it delivers fantastic sound quality. Unless you have a high-end TV that you paid thousands of dollars for, you will absolutely improve your listening experience with this soundbar.

There’s also a slightly higher-end model called the Roku Streambar Pro, but it’s not discounted right now.

Available on Amazon

Roku has been adding tons of new movies and shows to the Roku Channel latest. With these great deals, now is the perfect time to check it out.

Don’t Miss: Our expert guide on this month’s best deals!

why it is not possible to accumulate a fortune — Work.ua

It seems that everyone already knows that in order to get even a little rich, you need to save 10% of your earnings, plan a budget, and keep track of expenses. But with getting rich, as with losing weight: there seems to be knowledge, but no willpower. Enough excuses!

Do you live paycheck to paycheck? Are you going to start saving, but it doesn’t work? It’s not always about low wages. After all, it is enough to study the methods of reasonable savings and stop throwing money away. And surely you have promised yourself more than once to follow (or at least try) those numerous tips from smart books: make a budget and put aside part of your salary. But then, as luck would have it, force majeure circumstances arose. And plans for mountains of accumulation rolled into. .. the abyss.

Stop it! Decided to save — save. And Work.ua provides counterarguments for the most popular excuses that just prevent you from making a fortune.

I just had a bad day

A bad day is no doubt a worthy excuse. But not if you have 364 such days in a year. However, the option when bad days happen once every 5 years, but they are so bad that for the sake of peace of mind you drain everything accumulated over the past 10, is also not very good.

The habit of justifying rash purchases on a bad day or celebrating good days with them can wipe out all your savings in one day. If you can’t live without praising (or comforting) yourself, then try to think over a system of non-material rewards: allow yourself to watch one episode more of your favorite series, get together and play football or cards with friends, leave household chores and go to bed early…

I deserve it

Of course you worked hard. And, of course, you deserve something for it. But you must admit that it is more pleasant to reward yourself with something truly valuable than to arrange a meager and short-term fireworks display in honor of a job well done.

Are you proud of yourself? Set aside the financial equivalent of your productive work in a piggy bank or on a deposit and think that right now you have rewarded yourself with, for example, 1/135th of a new apartment.

I spend on important things

How can I resist when I see the magic word “sale” and not buy an item if “Up to 70% off”? Such purchases can eat up to several thousand per month.

To fight spontaneous purchases, you need to buy only what you would buy, even if it cost 2 times more. You can also measure the price of a thing in terms of the cost of your time. For example, you earn 300 UAH per day. Have you counted? Answer yourself: is this thing worth it.

Another way to resist the temptation to sell out is to learn to pause. Are you going to “throw away” money for something supposedly at a discount? Count this amount and put it aside. Take a couple of days to think. Think about whether you really need a chosen thing. If in 2-3 days the desire does not disappear – buy it. If let go, add this amount to your financial safety cushion.

I’ll start saving when I start earning more

Hmm, in principle, the plan is not bad. But let’s be honest: are you sure this will happen? Yes, you are an excellent specialist, the best sales person in the universe or a super talented designer, but if your salary level has been growing along with prices in recent years, then stop hoping for luck.

Put your family budget in order. More often than not, when people who think they have all their money down to the penny start keeping track of expenses, they find themselves spending up to a third of their income on all sorts of nonsense.

I still can’t do anything

Really, really, really? For example, for six months you kept the family budget, set aside the N-sum, and then?

With savings, as with sports. Surely you have repeatedly tried to exercise: you started going to the gym, to fitness, to the pool. The first five times you tried very hard, even trained several days a week. But gradually the enthusiasm faded. You appeared on the treadmill less and less. You have a lot of work, you are very tired, there is not enough time, the subscription has ended. Yes, yes, we know.

Is it bad to study every day for three years in a row, or at least every other day? That’s it. Running a marathon is much more difficult, and managing money, saving, planning is just a marathon. Perpetual. And you need to start this race not tomorrow, from Monday or the next salary. Write down your expenses today after going to the supermarket.

Rising Flower of Genpei Review (Nintendo Switch) – Otome Kitten

Release Date: June 28, 2022 (North America)
Developers: Otomate, Red Entertainment
Publishers: Idea Factory International
Platforms: Nintendo Switch
ESRB Rating: T (Teen)

SYNOPSIS

Fifteen years after the Heiji Rebellion, the Heike clan has reached the height of its power, while the Genji clan remains devastated by defeat. Hidden deep within the mountains of Kurama lives Shanao, the youngest surviving male heir to the Genji name. However, Shanao harbors a deep secret known by very few.

The youngest heir to the Genji name is no man.

Her adventure leads her to find new cherished relationships, as well as something deeper than the feud between the rivaling clans.

ART AND MUSIC

Renowned animator/illustrator Koji Haneda was in charge of Birushana’s character design. If you watch a lot of anime, you’re probably familiar with a couple of his well-known projects as an Animation Director, citing a few examples like Persona 5 The Animation, Food Wars, Hakuoki Demon of the Fleeting Blossom, Hiiro no Kakera, Initial D, Utapri Revolutions and so much more.

The soundtrack for Birushana was nothing short of impressive either. I was shook when I heard 歌い手 (cover artist sensation) Amatsuki, performed the game’s OP and ED theme.😍 Not only that, but he also voiced one of the side characters in the game (Takatsuna). WHAT A TREAT!😱 My favorite track would have to be the ED theme [花鳥諷詠], which Amatsuki composed himself along with Takuya Watanabe.

Birushana’s BGMs were pretty good too. The battle tracks were awesome! The game credits composers; Ryo Kurata and Tomoaki Oga for its musical scores. This title’s official soundtrack along with an Audio Drama CD will be included when you purchase Birushana’s Limited Edtion copy at IFI’s online store.

Voice Acting
One of the many stand-out features of Birushana was its top-notch voice acting from a very talented seiyuu line-up. Special shout-out to AMATSUKI, who was an absolute delight playing as Takatsuna. I believe this was his first role voicing an otome game character, and I really thought he did a marvelous job!

CHARACTERS AND ROUTES

Birushana’s story/plot is very linear, so all the routes pretty much go through the same segment of events, except with varying scenarios. Noritsune, Benkei, and Shungen’s routes are available from the start while Yoritomo and Tomomori’s are locked until you finish one of the previous three. The developers of the game recommend this playing order: Noritsune → Benkei → Shungen → Yoritomo → Tomomori.

I played in the same order and thought it was perfect when it came down to building up some reveals about the heroine, Shanao. I also thought Shungen’s route was a good intro to Yoritomo’s story; hence the reason why he’s advised to play before the latter. If you want to play the game while slowly unveiling ‘spoilery details’ surrounding Birushana’s plot, I strongly suggest following the order above.

NORITSUNE TAIRA

enemies to lovers
gay for Shanao

Noritsune is the nephew of Taira no Kiyomori (leader of the Heike) and is Tomomori’s cousin. Unlike the other lords of the Heike, who live in extravagance due to their clan’s prosperity, Noritsune is only focused on getting better as a samurai. He’s a very good tactician and is known as the best general of the Taira clan. He is hostile towards Shanao and has an odd fixation on wanting to always surpass him.

Noritsune’s was the best route to start the game with as his story fairly introduces you to the game’s warring atmosphere between the Minamoto and the Taira clans. I also felt that Noritsune carried his own route, and his events went forward without relying too much on other characters. It was enjoyable to see him very focused on his one ultimate goal, and that is to have a one-on-one duel with Shanao, which he effectively made sure to achieve despite the odds and hurdles. His character development was the most believable out of all the cast, and I loved he remained very consistent with his resolve and objectives even after knowing that Shanao was in fact, a woman.

What stood out to me was Noritsune and Shanao’s really good dynamic and chemistry on this route. It started with this intense rivalry between the two trying to outmatch each other in battle, developing into mutual amity and respect, which in turn brought their relationship to something significantly special in the end. It was very romantic, to say the least! What’s so good about Noritsune as a love interest, was that he views and treats Shanao as equals. He values her as someone worth fighting for as well as fighting alongside with. It was also very clear that Noritsune loved and adored Shanao regardless of her gender and that, to me, was honestly beautiful. Their relationship had me choking back tears!🥺 Also, props to my fav. seiyuu Kengo Kawanishi for knocking this role out of the park!

Due to a conflict involving him and the Heike, he was exiled from his home, and since then, he has been challenging Heike samurais in Kyoto in an attempt to steal their swords (this is paying homage to the actual Benkei who collected 999 swords in Kyoto). After getting defeated by Shanao during an incident at the Gojo bridge, he pledges his life to become one of her vassals.

Benkei is the sound of reason among Shanao’s retainers. He’s very dependable and loyal to the bone. I love how they played up the gentle-giant trope in his story, which was pretty much one of the reasons why I was so smitten with him during the common route. He’s a very compassionate, kind-hearted character, and his unwavering dedication to Shanao, was worthy of praise.

Unfortunately, as a love interest, he didn’t shine as much compared to the other cast, which was a darn shame because Benkei was such a delightful character per se. I felt like the writers did him dirty when they showcased too much “Tomomori content” here – it got me quite distracted a few times, to be honest (laughs). 😅 I did like Shanao and Benkei’s very wholesome relationship, and I thought they had some really cute moments together. One of his bad endings involved non-con (with other characters). Ngl, that bad ending became a guilty pleasure of mine (cackles) so… take this as you will.

SHUNGEN

childhood friend
not a shota

Shungen is the child of Minamoto no Shigenari, one of Shanao’s father’s retainers. Shortly after his birth, his father was defeated during the Heiji Rebellion along with the rest of the Minamoto clan. Shungen was brought to Kurama Temple at the same time as Shanao thereafter. And both were raised by Lord Kakunichi. Because he and the heroine grew up together at an early age, Shungen knows that Shanao is a woman.

Shungen’s character was someone I never cared for during the game’s initial premise, but after playing his route, I was immensely surprised by how much I’d enjoyed his story. It has also been a while since I’ve heard Soma Saito voicing an LI, so perhaps I’m just biased?🤔 A couple of things that really worked for me here, were Shanao and Shungen’s codependency with each other (it reminded me a little bit of Kuroyuki and Enju’s relationship in Nightshade). This was also the only route where Shungen gets to shine as a character (as well as a love interest). The foreshadowing in his story was brilliant, and I enjoyed how it led up to a very satisfying reveal at the end. It didn’t feel shoehorned, which is always a plus!

As for their romance, it’s the very typical ‘childhood-friend-budding-into-lovers’ relationship. If you enjoy this trope, you’ll certainly enjoy Shanao and Shungen’s dynamic here. I have to say, Shungen confessing his feelings to Shanao and choosing to be with her above all else was one of my favorite moments in the game. It was a genuine act of desperation and it hit hard (and good). It was very apparent to me how much he really cared for her. Although one could argue that his possessiveness can be borderline yandere-ish (which wasn’t the case for me… but feel free to interpret this however you like?).┐(‘～`;)┌

YORITOMO MINAMOTO

kuudere
aniue route

Yoritomo was fourteen years old when his father (the previous leader of the Genji clan) was killed along with his brothers during the Heiji Rebellion. While being held captive in Kyoto, Yoritomo’s life was spared by Kiyomori’s (leader of the Taira clan) stepmother, Lady Ikenozeni. Instead of receiving the death penalty, he was exiled to Izu Province where he lived under the surveillance of the Heike for many years.

I thought this route was the most action-packed in the game. The battle scenes in Yoritomo’s story were definitely a favorite of mine, and I love that Shanao was just a roaring thunder here! It was intense, and I loved it. 😱 This was also probably the route, with the most angsty scenes. 😢

In the olden tales of the Heian Period, most literary pieces would describe Yoshitsune as someone who’s always raring to support and serve his older brother Yoritomo during the Genpei War, and I loved how they incorporated that same personification of both characters here.

Yoritomo’s very closed-off, stoic personality stems from growing up isolated and living his life under the watchful eyes of the Taira clan. You can’t really get a read on him, nor does he wear his emotions under his sleeve. As a man of a few words, it was so refreshing to see him opening up slowly to Shanao.🥺 I also find it really cute when the heroine muses about her feelings for her aniue (big bro). I thought their relationship development was quite good! And Yes, I am aware that they are siblings (laughs).🤭 All I can say is… I’m normally someone who gets creeped out with brocon relationships in otome games, but I can assure you, this one is an exception.

TOMOMORI TAIRA

🚩🗑️🚮🔥
if villain bad, why s e x y? 🥵
sus

Tomomori is the son of Taira no Kiyomori (leader of the Heike clan). He sports an unbothered attitude most of the time, but whenever he feels like it, he can also become an excellent military commander who can effectively annihilate his enemies on the battlefield. Tomomori lives a very hedonistic life. He’s an elusive, selfish character who doesn’t seem to care about anything that doesn’t pique his interest.

Here we are, finally! The last boss of Birushana. Tomomori was the most suspicious character from the get-go. We see him chasing Shanao everywhere (in the common route) spewing some ludicrous lines of wanting to take her as his wife, lusting on Shanao’s crying face, and saying how she should come to him because she is “one of them”. Just what is this man on about? 😳 And why is he so obsessed with the heroine? What secret does his route hold? (queue in twilight zone music) ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ

At one point, he kind of reminded me of Kazama (Hakuoki), where he’s so adamant about branding Chizuru as his wife. It’s the same thing with Tomomori, only with added sexual tension.😳 I find it interesting how he’s so fixated on wanting to see Shanao cry and break. It was morbidly sexy in ways I can’t explain.

This route also took a weird turn. Unlike previous routes, where the stories mainly focused on the warring aspects of the two clans. Tomomori’s story focused heavily on the fantasy elements surrounding the plot. Admittedly, there were some inconsistencies regarding the ‘big revelations’ in this route, on top of a colossal amount of plot holes here and there. But for some reason, they didn’t bother me in the slightest because I was enjoying the ride so much.🤣

Where Tomomori’s character gets really interesting is when he starts paying more attention to the heroine. At first, his drive was to see Shanao in tears, but after spending some time with her, he made a complete 180 and aims to see her smiling face instead. I also loved how Shanao and Tomomori have developed this peculiar attachment for each other, and while his route was horny on main, their relationship seemingly developed into a wholesome one. 🤯 Yep, this route was wild, but it was so good, I couldn’t put it down.😂

SHANAO/YOSHITSUNE (Main Heroine)

Born as the child of Minamoto no Yoshitomo, she was entrusted to Lord Kakunichi of Kurama Temple and was raised as a man in the hopes that she’d one day raise an army, defeat the Heike, and bring prosperity to the Genji clan once again. While she was taught to always carry the name of the Genji behind her back, what Shanao really wants is to live a peaceful life in the mountains, detached from any kind of conflict.

Shanao is such a fierce warring heroine, and I honestly wish she had a voice actor because wow, I’d give anything to hear her battle cries first-hand. In my head, she sports Mutsumi Tamura’s voice (Jed in Psychedelica of the Ashen Hawk). (ᵘᆸᵘ)

I think what works fairly well in Birushana as far as having a badass fighting protagonist was that Shanao was very much engaged in the plotline (I mean, she’s Minamoto no Yoshitsune, after all). She does not fade into the background, nor doesn’t feel like she’s there as an onlooker during pivotal events. She’s an MC that makes the story happen, as well as moves the story forward. Another point worth noting is that not only was Shanao physically strong but also mentally and emotionally sound. She is very receptive to all the circumstances surrounding her, and she can quickly adapt to any situations thrown her way. For someone her age, I thought this was pretty impressive.

IF ENDINGS

What’s remarkable about this title is that it caters to the player’s need and want for romantic fluff with side characters that are mostly sidestepped in otome games. Ahh, if only all otome games were like this!😭 Prior to the Japanese release, I was already one hundred percent on board with the character Tsugunobu, only to find out that he won’t have a stand-alone route until the fandisc. It’s why I was exceptionally thankful that the IF Endings exist to feed me some Tsugunobu crumbs. 😩

Each route, except Noritsune’s, will unlock a side character’s “IF Ending”. You can check out the guides I’ve made to see which route unlocks certain side characters. My favorite “IF” was Tsugunobu hands down! No one can ever top Takashi Kondo’s gentlemanly voice in my book (cackles).😁

SYSTEM AND LOCALIZATION

Birushana offers a couple of integrated features that make your gameplay smooth and manageable. The flowchart helps you track which route or ending you’ve attained. It also lets you navigate and replay various storylines and character routes easily.

There’s also the “love catch” system, which will indicate if the choices you’ve made are the right ones when aiming for certain endings. During the common route, five (color-coded) flowers will appear every time you select a choice. A fully-opened flower indicates you’ve selected the best answer that’ll win you more points to the LI you want to romance. Each flower corresponds to a certain love interest. Yellow=Shungen, Red Orange=Noritsune, Pink=Yoritomo, Blue=Tomomori and Green=Benkei. There’s also the information screen that’ll allow you to check the relationship status with each character, in addition to viewing the heroine’s present aptitude.

As for the system itself, there were some noticeable lags in the game, especially during the fight scenes. The sluggish transitions sometimes will cause the screen to fade to black awkwardly during battle scenarios. The overall system is rather slow too, and skip-reading some chapters can take as long as thirty minutes tops. Thank goodness there’s a “Skip to the next choice, unread section”, which became a saving grace towards unlocking all of the endings.

The localization was also pretty decent. I’ve only spotted a few typos throughout the game. On another note, I did notice a few structure/pronoun mistakes. For example, there was one scene where Tsugunobu’s voiced line was saying “Tadanobu (his brother) is lovesick”. But the English subs translated it to “I was lovesick” instead. These mistakes were very infrequent though, and definitely not immersion-breaking or anything of the sort.

TRAILER

OVERALL THOUGHTS

It took me around 60-65 hours to complete Birushana: Rising Flower of Genpei. This includes clearing all possible scenarios including the “IF Endings” and unlocking all dictionary entries. The common route for Birushana is exceptionally short (from Chapters 1-3), and it won’t take you that long to enter a specific route. It took me maybe 4-5 hours to clear one route to completion.

As for the story, I really enjoyed it! Sure, there were some minor inconsistencies with the plot (esp. on Tomomori’s route). The game definitely wasn’t perfect, but overall, it really worked for me.

First of all, the Heian Period’s Genpei War was one of the most interesting, not to mention intense, civil wars in Japanese History. Hence, it’s been adapted countless times, in different forms of media, including otome games. To be frank, this isn’t the first otome game I’ve played that’s centered on the Genpei War. I picked up one of Mirai’s Hoshi no Oujo games during an otome sale last December and was really surprised by how similar its story was to Birushana. In Hoshi no Oujo _{(宇宙意識に目覚めた義経)}, the heroine disguises herself as a man in place of her late brother “Shanao” and hopes to defeat the Heike and restore the Genji clan. So yeah, in terms of notion and concept, I wouldn’t say Birushana’s was very ‘original’. But that’s not to say that this game did not hold its own merits.

Someone once quoted that Birushana is the ‘spiritual successor of Nightshade‘, and I agree. The structure of the premise for both games was pretty similar. No surprise there, since both titles were directed by Red Entertainment’s, Ito Ai. Both games also carry similar content warnings such as incest, age gap, and SA on bad ends, so just be mindful of them if any of these squicks you. Keep in mind this game is also tagged as “historical fantasy”, and while it heavily referenced a lot of characters and events during Japan’s Heian period, you shouldn’t expect it to be book-accurate. In fact, the writers took major liberties and went WILD with their interpretations with this one. Still and all, I do appreciate them incorporating some of the famously known tales/fiction from the Genpei War into this game. Citing a few were the intense battle of the Kurikara pass and Ichinotani, the kindness of Hidehira Fujiwara, and how Emperor Go Shirakawa was a deceptive, sly mofo.🤣 If you enjoy historical fiction, you’ll definitely get a kick out of these little thrown-in easter eggs.

Where Birushana excels the most was introducing its very likable main cast of characters (sub-characters included), which in my opinion, was probably the strongest aspect of this title. This game really enabled my ‘box-pusher‘ tendencies because I just loved all of the cast! The game also lets you witness different perspectives from different characters during the war. Each LI has varying motivations that dont just fall flat, and all of them form a special bond with the heroine, one that’s very distinct from the other.

The romance in Birushana was also very refined in the sense that it was not shoved onto the back burner. So even if you’re not into historical fiction, I believe you can still enjoy this title due to that aspect alone. As for the love interests, they were all so good, but if I had to pick a favorite route, it would be a toss-up between Tomomori and Noritsune. Though my actual favorite character in the game would have to be Tsugunobu, no contest! Followed by Shigehira, second. 🤣🔥 I can’t wait to get a hold of the fandisc and finally romance these two!😭

Do I recommend this game? YES.
Birushana: Rising Flower of Genpei is an otome game for historical fantasy lovers. If you’re someone who enjoys fiction centered on Japanese historical figures and events, Birushana is the perfect game to pick up and immerse yourself in. This title has now joined my otome hall of fame shelves, and best believe, I will be collecting merch for it!😤 I’ve evidently enjoyed this game fully, and I believe you will too, so long as you can overlook some of its minor plot holes. If you’re looking for an otome game that showcases a strong resilient protagonist and some flavorful samurai lords from the Heian era to fall in love with, you should definitely play this game!

Otome Game Review: Birushana ~Rising Flower of Genpei~

Shanao is the heir to the Genji clan which was just defeated by the Heike clan. Everyone keeps trying to fight her but she just wants to live in peace in the mountains. Eventually after many years of training, she finally goes through her ceremony at age 16, becomes Minamoto Yoshitsune and joins her half brother in trying to regain control of Kyoto from the Heike. Only one of her man harem members knows she’s a woman and along the way she ends up fraternizing with the enemy. ( ͡⚆ ͜ʖ ͡⚆) But anyway, let’s be real, you’re here to learn all about the Genpei War.😂 Also because I’m too lazy to type out Yoshitsune, I will be referring to the heroine as Shanao.

Taira no Noritsune – Noritsune gave me massive Shiden vibes because aside from also being a tsundere they shared the same voice actor. Noritsune is basically as I call him, Pink Zenos. Just like Zenos from FF14, he got his ass kicked once by ~~Warrior of Light~~ Shanao and ever since then he’s been stalking her for a rematch. At one point after a battle Shanao saves him from death by treating his wounds. Even though he was out of it, somehow he managed to figure out that she’s a woman. Despite this, he didn’t care and continued his fierce determination to face off. Ultimately Genji defeats Heike but because they start attacking civilians in Kyoto, Shanao ends up protecting them and going to the Heike with Noritsune. This makes her a traitor to her idiot cousin and his army and after Genji attack Heike again, Shanao and Noritsune drive them off. After this the Heike basically retreat and decide not to go to Kyoto anymore because their remaining people would just get crushed by Genji anyway.

It’s around this time that both Shanao and Noritsune both start having their puppy love feelings for each other and it becomes dorky and awkward for the both of them. Noritsune finally confesses he has feelings for Shanao after a bunch of village kids and Tomomori insist on dressing her up to look like a girl. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)✨ But then his idiot sister Tokiko orders the Heike army to attack the diplomat of the Genji army and instead of a peace treaty all war breaks out. Shanao is knocked out and dragged back to the Genji and has to fight Noritsune once more. But it’s all good FINALLY they can have a test of their reflexes, and pretend that they kill the Heike once and for all by jumping into the ocean together (cause they were fighting on a nice boat.) After this Noritsune and Shanao run away and live in some village together and she can now live as a woman and make Noritsune all hot and bothered as they do some ~bushido in the bedroom~. In the tragic end they stab each other on the boat Romeo & Juliet style and fall into the sea together to die. Anyway I loved Pink Zenos, he was so cute, and because of his one route I ended up buying the Fandisk immediately after. 😂

Musashibo Benkei – Benkei is the 30 year old monk ossan who’s basically like twice Shanao’s age (16). So because of this he had this big “dad” aura not to mention he was just large in general. One of the CGs even had him carrying her on his shoulders like his child… So unfortunately because of that I just couldn’t see Benkei as a romantic love interest. He was just the cool loyal monk guy/dad character, and even when he found out that she’s a woman he didn’t change his behavior towards her at all. This kinda defeated the purpose of even having him discover that she’s a woman right at the start because it didn’t add to any romantic progress in the route. During one of the battles against Heike, Shanao goes into her berserker mode and when Benkei tries to stop her she stabs him several times. After she snaps out of it he passes out and then feeling really guilty about it, Shanao starts taking care of him (and making the rest of her harem jealous 😂). As she takes care of him he starts having conflicting feelings between her being his lord and being a “good wife some day”.

Tomomori waving the wincest flag 🤣🤣

But then because Shanao has Tomomori as her stalker, his brother Shigehira uses his life stealing powers to knock her out and kidnap her to the uguu cage of love at the Heike house. There the two brothers reveal that she has the same powers as them so she belongs with them and succ some energy out of her to keep her in their uguu cage with no energy to escape. Eventually Heike get outnumbered and have to leave Kyoto but being a hentei prevert, Tomomori is like “I’m just gonna make you my wife now” and attempts to sexually assault her. Here I was hoping Benkei would come save her….but of course he did not. Instead, Shanao took matters into her own hands, decided to try to succ the life energy out of Tomomori and it worked. She made him weak enough to steal his sword and then break out of the jail cell. When she finally runs out of the Heike house, THAT’S when Benkei finds her and by that point I no longer cared about him because clearly in this route, Shanao was a self-defending woman who don’t need no man. 😤 So yea more fighting happens and more hentei Tomomori appearances but somehow all this boils down to Benkei wanting Shanao to succ his spirit because he gets jealous. The translation implied that he confessed his love to her but in Japanese he really didn’t and it was all very 微妙 to be honest. Even when she finally tells him she wants to start a family with him he starts babbling about oh no I am your vassal it cannot be!!

As usual the Taira brothers cockblock and fight them in the end and Shigehira ends up succing way too much energy out of Shanao turning him into a weird snake man lol. While he’s going berserk, Benkei offers Shanao his life energy so she can win and basically kisses her to give it to her..but we don’t even get a CG, poor ojisan 😂. They then have the longest god damn battle ever, featuring Shigehira who dies and comes back from the dead a 3rd time or something. ಠ_ಠ Shigehira kills his brother with the succ and then gets his ass owned by Shanao. Anyway lol Benkei’s route. In the epilogue, Shanao quits being a warrior and lives as a woman with Benkei. And then things escalate as he suddenly is like “oh right I’m not your vassal anymore uh…time to fucc and become husband and wife I guess?” Lol it was so sudden honestly I just felt no romance in this route at all, especially since the psycho brothers basically derailed most of it. In the tragic end, Shanao defeats Tomomori but forgot about Shigehira and he comes back for the umpteenth time like a snake zombie and succs the life out of her. Before she dies, Benkei grabs and throws her to a boat with allies while he dies fighting Shigehira.

Shungen – Shungen is the sweet childhood friend who grew up with Shanao. Even though his father served Shanao’s father, Shanao doesn’t want to see him as her servant because he’s an important friend to her and she wants them to be equal. Shungen just wants Shanao to live a peaceful life and he’s not happy that she’s going to go to war to support the brother she’s never met in her life. He’s also worried that since her father and uncle had a feud over Genji leadership, that Yoritomo might come after her life as well. They start to get closer as time goes by but then Yoritomo decided that he has relevance and drags the two of them to Tokiwa – Shanao’s mother. Or so they thought, as apparently Tokiwa reveals that in fact not only is she not Shanao’s mother, but her child, the true Genji heir, is in fact Shungen!!!! She was given Shanao as a baby and told to raise her as as a man but no idea whose baby it was or why. Mamma mia, we had a baby swap! Anyway Shanao is pretty depressed after this, but now Shungen knows that she no longer bears the burden of the Genji on her and is like “damn time to hit that. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)”

I’m sorry to tell you Shanao but….yes.

So after Shungen is revealed to be the true Genji heir to the army, after he leads the team to a victory in battle, Shungen then confesses his feelings of love to Shanao. He tells her that when the war is over, he will abandon his position as the heir and live peacefully with her. Shanao tells him the feeling is mutual and returns his feelings as he kisses her cheek under the moonlight. Unfortunately things don’t last because the kusoGGE emperor, who knows Shanao is a woman, decides she’s going to marry into the royal family and basically kidnaps her away from Shungen and co. Since she’s locked up in her uguu palace, Shungen comes near the palace every night and plays his flute for her to make her feel better. (´;ω;`)

Eventually the emperor is like “if you agree to join me at the palace then you can marry Shanao you like her right and I just want control of Genji!” And obviously that would involve making the Genji fight each other so since Shugen didn’t want this – he asked Yoritomo to pretend to kill him and Shanao to make it look like they both died in battle. In the epilogue, turns out after they fall into the water they quietly swim away and live a life away in peace. In the tragic ending, Yoritomo kills Shanao for real for some reason but Shungen ends up surviving. ಠ_ಠ He then breaks down mentally and goes into yandere mode blaming everything on the stupid Genji clan. He then vows to slay the entire Genji clan in revenge for her. Shungen was pretty cute and his route was really sweet but then got derailed by war as usual and kuso gge emperor and the momentum got kinda lost until the ending.

Minamoto no Yoritomo – Yoritomo is Shanao’s “brother” but of course we found out in Shugen’s route that since she’s not the actual baby of the Genji, he’s not actually her brother after all! Not only that but he basically spends most of the route reciting emo band lyrics about destiny every time you interact with him. When he finds out that Shanao has her killer powers, he’s basically like “I’ll just use him to destroy the enemy army solo.” All the other guys are against this of course, but Shanao is all like “I must do anything for oniisama!!” When the emperor suggests that Yoritomo marry one of the nobles’ daughters, Shanao gets extremely sad and jealous but has no idea what to do with those feelings. When she reveals this to Yoritomo he just….tells her to GTFO lol. ಠ_ಠ Even after he finds out she’s a woman when treating a poison wound, he still treats her the same and there’s absolutely no change in their relationship. This made the route a huge drag. So then as I jokingly predicted, Tokiwa tells Yoritomo that Shanao was a Heike baby stolen from them, raised as a Genji so that she would grow up to kill the Heike leader (who died from some disease anyway lmao.)

Thank god or this route would have been 10x more boring

Yoritomo also reveals how he’s been dead inside for 15 years after being forced to kill his father and brothers so the Heike wouldn’t kill them first. Shanao finally hugs him telling that he doesn’t need to suffer alone anymore and that she will be there for him. He hugs her back and honestly it would have been a nice scene if it wasn’t for the fact that he basically ignored and pushed her away 80% of the route. And then during one of the battles at the end, Tomomori lets her succ his energy in front of everyone in this NTR fashion which I guess FINALLY makes Yoritomo feel some sort of jealousy and realize his feelings for her. 😂 He gets so jealous that after the battle he asks Shanao to succ some of his spirit. They then furiously make out in such an ero kiss CG that was better than all the other guys which is god damn bias because this route sucked so bad!! Anyway after all the other guys see her going crazy on the battle field and sucking energy from Tomomori they all get scared of her so she temporarily returns to her temple in sadness. But then Yoritomo is like nooo come back babe I need you *emo / romantic song lyric ballad ensues*. He convinces her to stay for him and they then have a final battle with the Heike.

While fighting Tomomori she tells him that his granny basically betrayed their clan by having Shanao raised as a Genji so she would come and destroy that Heike blood line with that same power they both have. Unfortunately this has the opposite effect and turns on Tomomori’s siscon-dar and he goes all hentei mode saying if they both live they should just live together as siblings (́◉◞౪◟◉). At the end of the battle, the stupid Genji soldiers start rambling how they’re afraid of Shanao and they should just kill both Shanao and Tomomori together. Yoritomo of course won’t have this, and with Takatuna and some allied faceless soldiers they come to help Shanao. In the epilogue, Shanao basically opens up to everyone that she’s a woman and not a child of the Genji. Everyone is shocked but immediately accepts it. And so Yoritomo basically becomes the leader of Genji and Shanao becomes his waifu…which is kinda disappointing as it feels almost like a downgrade to her previous role. In the tragic end, Tomomori injures Shanao so badly, she becomes a vegetable. She can’t see, speak or move and she wants to die but Yoritomo refuses to let her die and just keeps taking care of her like his blowup doll. 😐 I didn’t really like this route because it took a REALLY long time for Yoritomo to warm up to Shanao and for half his route he was just like “yea I’ma just use her cause she stronk lol, don’t care that she’s completely out of her mind yolo”. )／ (́◉◞౪◟◉). It’s such a cheat but also like if he had these powers all along, how come he never used them up until this route!? Well the answer is apparently he forgot but then was reminded by Shigehira one day lol. 🤣🤣 So anyway in one of the many boring wars I glazed over, Tomomori decided to come along just to use it as an excuse to kidnap Shanao, bring her to some abandoned shack in the forest and have her succ his energy out through his moobs. The next day he forces her to dress as a woman and tells her she will have to be undercover as a woman and pretend to be his wife. 😂 They have some kyakyaufufu time together and eventually make it back to the Heike estate where Tomo’s dad croaks while calling Shanao as “Rengetsu”.

Facts

Unfortunately even though I was excited to find out the truth, the game went back to throwing war plot in my face for several hours before the revelation. It basically boiled down to Shanao constantly going berserk in battle and the only one being able to stop her is Tomomori. So yea because of that she goes “uwu you were the only one able to stop me, I no longer hate you.” And so with the common denominator of “we both have crazy powers and we regret it” they end up constantly sharing each other’s life energy and making out. ( ͡⚆ ͜ʖ ͡⚆) Anyway Tokuko then shows up, the spirit of Tomomori’s aunt Rengetsu inside of her, rambling that Shanao is her real daughter. Ikenozeni, Kiyomori’s step mom (after Rengetsu consumed the real mom) kept Rengetsu locked up away from everyone because she was like an animal, unable to speak or act on her own. Only Kiyomori ever spoke to her, and in order to “please her oniisama” she had a baby (with I don’t even know who) and then ran out one day to give birth. One of the soldiers told Ikenozeni, so she sent the soldiers after her and they killed her just as she bore Shanao. They then took the baby back to Ikenozeni who as we know gave it to the Genji.

After being killed, Rengetsu’s spirit floated in the life stream until she spotted young Tokuko doing her dream meeting thing, which apparently while you do it you leave your body susceptible to being taken over. Rengetsu’s spirit took the opportunity and jumped into Tokuko’s body, growing up with her and learning how to speak and think for herself – what she could not do in her old body. So now her goal is to take over and spread the blood line along with Shanao and the imperial baby. She kidnaps Shanao is kidnapped by Rengetsu, and in the meantime Tomomori decides to abandon the Heike, and goes to Genji asking for their help to stop Rengetsu’s crazy plans. Tomomori and Shanao end up fighting Orochimaru-form Rengetsu on a tiny boat in the middle of a war with Heike. Fortunately during the battle Tokuko’s kid starts crying for mommy which reawakens Tokuko and she gets control of her own body – revealing that her personality’s been mixed in with Rengetsu all this time. Basically this means that anytime Tokuko was bitchy, that was actually Rengetsu talking. 😂

While she’s still nice Tokuko, she begs Shanao to kill her so that she can put an end to Rengetsu’s bullshit once and for all. Tomomori does the honors and sucks the life out of her while she asks them to take care of her son Mikado. In the epilogue, despite being first cousins, apparently Tomomori and Shanao marry and live with the Heikes. 😂 Apparently their marriage was a symbol of peace between the Heike and the Genji families (which is ironic since technically she’s a Heike baby anyway lol.) Tomomori keeps trying to keep her cooped up in the Heike estate and gets jealous when she wants to visit her Genji friends. 😱 They both vow to live together as humans and not use their powers anymore. In the tragic end, Shanao consumed Rengetsu to stop her, and ended up going berserk and killing a ton of people. This of course makes no sense since Tomomori did this in the good end and was totally fine! Unable to bear the weight of her actions, Shanao kills herself. Tomomori then goes into a rage mode and starts killing everyone else who’s left.

Honestly I have a lot of beef at the end of this route and game after sleeping on it. First of all, if Taira granny was some weird snake monster why did the grandpa bang her, why. Really? Was she a youkai? Also why didn’t Kiyomori have the snake powers. Why was it only Tomomori, Shigehira, Rengetsu and Shanao? Also who the fuck is Shanao’s dad. Rengetsu was like an actual caged animal who couldn’t speak and just made animal noises. Somehow though, she managed to get pregnant and for 9 months nobody said anything and then she just escaped to have a baby? Who even got her pregnant if she was locked up by her step-mom the whole time?? I also really don’t like incest. I know Nightshade had it, and for some reason it doesn’t bother me as much in Noritsune’s as it does in this one. Maybe because in Benkei’s route Tomomori was literally like “yea I’d bang you even if you were my sister (́◉◞౪◟◉)”. I know cousincest is popular in these old timey historical games, but BLEEEHHHH I felt like I was watching an episode of Maury trying to figure out all the blood related connections. 💀 At least that aspect though made the route ironically more interesting than most of the rest that were just “here’s the Genpei war…again. )

Ah my favorite himbo

Tadanobu – Tadanobu’s the himbo of the 2 brothers because all he thinks about is hitting on the ladies and walking around flaunting his moobs and abs everywhere. 😂 After he finds out Shanao’s a girl during their training, he can’t stop staring at her and going kawaii na ぶひぶひ 😂😂 Apparently he became this way cause when he was a shota and would be sad, all the ladies in the neighborhood would comfort him. For some reason finding this out made Shanao OOC jealous and for some reason she becomes some weakling defeated by a bunch of zako NPCs. I guess they just wanted to give an excuse for Tadanobu to be all manly man to “protect” her. 🤦‍♀️ Basically implies that he saw her as an equal who can fight on her own but the moment he finds out she’s a girl, ZOMG I WILL PROTEC!!

Tsugunobu – Tsugunobu finds out she’s a woman when he just walks into her cleaning herself. After they watch the moon together privately Shanao goes all ずきゅ～～～ん over his smile and tells him it’s kinda cute which makes him blush. Suddenly Tsugu’s torn between being the responsible mature brother and acting like his horny himbo otouto-kun. And of course in the following battle we boil back down to “I shall protect thee~” but at least he respects her and kisses her hand rather than the younger bro who’s just like going right for the cheek kiss. Anyway from the CG I saw on the promo site seems like he’ll get more action in the FD anyway.( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I thought playing a historical game in English would make me understand things better but no, not really. Most of the historical war stuff basically flew over my head anyway and they forced the war thing down my throat so much I just glazed over until the next cute romantic scene finally would happen. 😂 The only thing I remembered is Go Shirokawa, the emperor, sucked bad and was probably the reason most of this war bullshit even happened. I mean ultimately if you aren’t a Japanese history fan most of these types of games are “some fighting happened and then they kith” 😂. The romance scenes sometimes felt like breadcrumbs thrown at me in between all the war stuff. Like I get it, they were trying to base the plot on the war and that’s fine and dandy – but still there’s plenty of games that have historical plot and can still throw in some good romance. Still, I enjoyed the characters and even some of the side characters that don’t have a route until the FD which made me want to buy the FD soon after. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)✨ To be fair, they did cover the historical war aspect pretty accurately (save for the original parts to incorporate Shanao into the story), which is rare for Otomate who frequently makes shit up.

In the words of Jack Garland…

Unfortunately there were some additional annoyances like how there was clear bias towards the Taira brothers vs other characters. Especially Benkei who got derailed by them in his own route and Yoritomo who basically had barely any screen time outside his route. There was also a lot of cute otome-esque scenes that never had any CGs and definitely deserved one (´;ω;`). On the topic of visuals, the only women in this game who had a sprite were Shanao and the Taira sister Tokuko. None of the other women had a sprite and there was barely any women to begin with. I know it’s a war but….it was really strange. The battles were also extremely long and just kept going on and on and when you’re just watching 2 sprites on screen talking with cling/clang noises it gets repetitive and boring fast. The game also had a lot of repetitive scenes that I swore I saw in another route, but because there was maybe 1 or 2 different words or 1 different character in the scene, you had to watch it all over again (or force skip unread dialogue). The loading times for jumping to next choice were also annoyingly long. And finally, a localization only issue, but some stuff was really jarring, and ~creative~ (like the kind of shit I’d say in my blog but I’d never use in an official translation 😂).

At least she got some spunk!

I liked Shanao as a heroine especially in the first route. Seeing her kick ass on the battle field and talk back to Noritsune was really refreshing. Unfortunately the battle scenes got stale and repetitive for me, so the novelty of her kicking ass also kinda tanked along with it. Not only that but it also bothered me that at the beginning of the game she has the whole “I will fight like a man, I will not become a concubine and suffer like my mother”…but at the end of the game she basically is like “nah I quit, gonna just marry and be a house waifu.” The only ends where I thought it was ok was Noritsune and Shungen because they essentially had to run away from war to keep on living so it made sense that she had to drop the whole battle waifu shtick. But in endings for Yoritomo and Tomomori, the war ended, but she could have still kinda been helping out with stuff but she basically resigned to just being the uguu waifu that they were going to ~protect~ (though to be fair at least she still kept her spunk with Tomomori in his end.) The biggest WTF was Benkei because as I mentioned in his route, I didn’t feel any particular romance between them and then suddenly “I am going to become his wife now. .uwu…” W H A T. Ok. 🤪 Could have been weird localization thing but it definitely came out awkward to me.

It’s almost like me and the localization editor share a brain cell

Overall because the focus was so heavily on war and with the repetitive common route scenes, a lot of the game was a huge drag for me. I really wanted to like this game but I just found myself zoning out at the exact same war story in every route with the differences being only the (few) interactions with the heroine and the love interest. Maybe it would have been better for me if you were at least able to skip the majority of the battles (except maybe the final one where you truly saw the differences). If you love war/historical stuff it might be more enjoyable, but I found myself more bored than anything. It’s kinda why I didn’t get the game back when it came out in Japan but I figured since it was on sale for $20 I would just get it. Turns out it really just wasn’t for me – but I did enjoy Shanao at least, she was definitely a great heroine. If only they had done the romance closer to Nightshade level, I think it would have been a little bit better. In the end only Noritsune, and Shungen stood out to me as the “otome” routes while Benkei and Yoritomo got derailed by hentei stalker Tomomori, who was an even bigger stalker in his own route. (́◉◞౪◟◉) To be fair Tomomori had a huge plot dump in his route but a certain revelation kinda dampened the excitement for me. I did get the fandisk though, so here’s hoping the romance I wanted will be in there instead…especially with the side characters who I especially enjoyed more than some of the main ones (looking at you T-nobu brothers 🥰)

P.S. This game has incest in 2 routes so if that’s not your jam, maybe give it a pass. 😂 Oh and before anyone gives me the “Why did you play this you hate historical games!!!” nonsense my response is:

Spartakiad “MOSPROM” | Swimming earplugs for children and adults: how to choose the right one

Prevention is better than cure: why you should use earplugs

Swimming earplugs are a special accessory whose main task is to protect your hearing from water.

If you do not follow the hygiene of the hearing organs, the development of dangerous infections and diseases will not take long.

It is worth noting that the structure of the ear canal is individual for each person. For some people it is straight, for others it is winding and non-standard. With this structure, water can stagnate inside, and this contributes to the growth of bacteria, fungi and other microorganisms, which can cause otitis externa (swimmer’s ear) and even hearing loss.

Let’s be proactive! It is always better to know how not to get sick than to know how to be treated. Moreover, you can prevent infectious diseases by keeping your ears dry in the usual ways. Tilt your head to either side after bathing to drain the accumulated water. Then dry the outer ear with a towel or hair dryer. But nothing compares to not getting your ears wet at all. This is where swimming earplugs come in handy.

We recommend that you do not go to the pool without a doctor’s permission if you have recently had an ear infection .

What are the best earplugs for swimming?

Those with waterproof properties. These earplugs are made of two materials: silicone and thermoplastic elastomer.

There are also foam and wax ear plugs on the market – they are not suitable for swimming.

Wax ear plugs are usually lined with cotton, which absorbs water well, and in some cases they can even irritate the eardrum. Polyurethane foam, in turn, is great for hearing protection and noise reduction, but porous foam does not protect against water penetration.

Sometimes manufacturers promise “universal earplugs” that can be used for both swimming and sleeping. You should not trust such advertisements, since low pressure on the ear is required for comfortable sleep, and the right earplugs for swimming, on the contrary, should fit snugly.

Swimming earplugs can be made from a variety of materials, but silicone is the best choice. It is he who, on the one hand, fits as much as possible, and on the other, allows you to hear what is happening around. The added benefit of silicone is that it is soft enough to not be uncomfortable.

All leading brands of swimming products produce ergonomic plugs with a soft silicone structure that adapts to the shape of the ear. In addition, high-quality reusable silicone earplugs last longer than their counterparts made from other materials.

If your ears are causing you excessive problems, consider visiting an audiologist who will customize the fit for you.

There are many models of silicone and thermoplastic earplugs: balls, mushrooms, herringbones, and so on. We must say right away that there are no ideal ones among them, below are the most popular models and their characteristics.

Ear plugs molded from flexible silicone. Advantages: they suppress noise well, can take any shape of the ear canal, low cost. Disadvantages: have a short lifespan.

Christmas tree earplugs.

Benefits: made of soft silicone and durable, available in size chart, some models are equipped with acoustic filters.

Disadvantages: the price is above average.

Ergo earplugs.

Advantages: These ear plugs completely cover the ear, and not just the ear canal, there is a dimensional grid, a modern model, reusable with a long service life.

Disadvantages: high price.

Choosing earplugs is not always easy. Experienced swimmers are advised to try several types of earplugs to find the most comfortable for you. It is best to start with “ergo” or “shooter” earplugs – they are easy to handle and fit almost everyone.

Tips and tricks for using earplugs

Using earplugs for swimming is pretty easy, but there are a few tips we’d like to share to keep you and your earplugs safe.

● Keep them clean

The main purpose of silicone plugs is to keep your ears from becoming a breeding ground for bacteria. Be sure to wash them with warm, soapy water after every workout to get rid of chlorine or bacteria-laden water from lakes and rivers.

● Choose bright colors

Ear plugs are small and sometimes fall out of your ears, especially when you are not used to using them. Try to choose brightly colored earplugs so that if they end up at the bottom of the pool, you won’t have to look for them all day.

● Do not dive with earplugs

Another important note: Never dive with earplugs as the water pressure can push them too far into the ear canals.

We advise you not to neglect such elements of athlete’s protection as earplugs. Moreover, now you know what types they are, which ones are suitable for swimming and why professional athletes do not enter the pool without them. We wish you health and new victories!

How to care for earplugs

← Back to the list of articles

Today, special earplugs for protecting your hearing from loud sounds, noise, water are especially popular – earplugs. How to properly care for earplugs so that they last as long as possible?

In our specialized hearing aid centers you can buy not only the hearing aids themselves, but also various additional accessories for them: batteries, earbuds, hearing aid cleaning products, etc. Among such accessories, special earbuds have recently become very popular to protect our hearing from loud sounds, noise, and water. However, the adequate performance of such earplugs depends on how long they retain their plasticity. Only competent care of earplugs will lead to their long service life.

So what is the right way to wash ear plugs?

Anything you need:

Water.
Soap (better for children).
Towel.
Hydrogen peroxide (3%).
Soft fabric.
Small vessel (cup or similar).

Procedure:

To quickly remove wax from earplugs, fill a container (small cup or similar) with hydrogen peroxide until the peroxide completely covers the earplugs.
Soak earplugs in peroxide for 3 minutes. Hydrogen peroxide will dissolve any sulfur present on the surface of the earplugs.
Remove the ear plugs and rinse them thoroughly under cold running water.
Place the earplugs between two towels and pat dry gently.
Remove the earplugs, reshape them and leave them in the open air until completely dry.
For general cleaning of earplugs, you can use soap or special dishwashing detergent.
Mix a small amount of water and dishwashing liquid in a small container.

Savings of around $5 to $10 (or regional equivalents) happen in the run-up to the likes of Amazon’s massive sale, which is due to take place next month where the largest savings should appear. It means more money for some of the best PS5 games and the best PS5 accessories.

PS5 restocks are thankfully no longer as needed as they once were, as PS5 consoles are now readily available in the US, the UK, and Australia. We’re rounding up all the best PS5 deals as well as the best PS5 game deals, and PlayStation Plus deals to get the full experience.

Best cheap PS5 DualSense controller deals – FAQs

What’s new about the PS5 DualSense controller?

A new console needs a new gamepad, and the PS5 DualSense controller has come to take up the mantle from the DualShock 4. The softer, curvier design of the DualSense makes the controller far more comfortable, and though there’s a little more weight with all the intelligent haptic feedback packed in here, long sessions with those new grips are far less painful. Plus, you also get adaptive triggers, which developers can program to create resistance effects.

Is the DualSense PS5 controller worth it?

The DualSense PS5 controller is needed to play PS5 games on the new console, however, you can get away with a DualShock 4 for certain PS4 games as well. You automatically receive a controller with your new console, so is the price of a DualSense worth it if you’re considering picking up a second gamepad?

If you want to play PS5 games with local co-op play, then we say it absolutely is worth the cost. It’s the only way you’re able to get more people in on the action. If, however, you don’t have your eye on any new local multiplayer experiences right now – and would prefer to keep your PS4 library alive a little longer thanks to backwards compatibility – maybe don’t lock away the DualShock 4 just yet.

Tv hearing aid: TV hearing aid devices for the hearing impaired

TV hearing aid devices for the hearing impaired

If you have hearing loss, you may have trouble with everyday activities like talking on the phone, listening to music and watching television. If you find you are always reaching for the remote to turn the volume up on your TV set, you might benefit from a television-specific assistive listening device (ALD). TV listening devices include those that boost the sound through headphones, stream sound through your hearing aids and provide closed captioning for your television.

Why turning up the volume isn’t a good solution

It IS possible to enjoy watching TV

together again.

Simply turning up the volume can be a problem for two reasons. First, the sound clarity may deteriorate as the volume is raised, depending on the quality of the TV speakers. Second, the level of the sound may become uncomfortably loud for those who wish to watch the television with you.

How hearing aids make it easier to watch television

Wearing hearing aids can improve your ability to understand the television. Most hearing aids today have features for reducing background noise and amplifying signals coming from in front of you.

By simply wearing your hearing aids and directing your gaze at the television, you may find you can understand the dialogue much better than before you wore hearing aids.

Programming your hearing aids for TV

If the sound improvement still isn’t sufficient, ask your hearing healthcare professional if she can create a special program in your hearing aids to help you hear the television better. If you have a dedicated program for television in your hearing aids, you will need to know how to switch your hearing aids to that program when you are ready to watch television, and how to switch it back to your normal program when you are done.

TV hearing devices

Wearing assistive listening devices for television has several advantages over turning up the overall volume on your set:

They can be used with headphones or hearing aids

They send the signal directly to headphones or hearing aids, minimizing the interference of background noise in the room

The direct delivery of the auditory signal improves the overall clarity of sound

The person with hearing loss can operate their personal volume independently of the volume produced by the television’s speakers

Loved ones with different degrees of hearing ability can enjoy television together

Directly stream TV to your hearing aids or headphones

Go wireless: Bluetooth, FM systems and telecoils

There are many options available for

watching TV with hearing loss.

Many newer models of hearing aids (and headphones) can connect to devices wirelessly through a Bluetooth connection or frequency-modulated (FM) systems. These systems can connect directly to some types of hearing aids, or through an intermediary device.

Bluetooth technology can allow sound from the TV (or smartphone or another device) to stream directly into hearing aids. Once the hearing aids are paired with the desired devices, you can usually switch to wireless streaming via a single press of a button.

Intermediary streaming devices also can receive an FM or Bluetooth signal and then send it to the hearing aids via another wireless connection. The intermediary device typically functions as a remote control as well, allowing you to adjust volume and change programs with the same tool.

Telecoil option

Modern hearing aids are often equipped with a telecoil or other wireless capabilities that can be used for streaming the audio signal from your television directly to your hearing aids. In addition to bypassing environmental noises, signals that stream to your hearing aids are filtered through settings that are personalized for your hearing loss.

Induction or hearing loops

Induction loops, or neckloops, have been available for a long time. An induction loop sets up a magnetic field that can be picked up by the telecoil in hearing aids. These systems may connect to the audio via the jack on your television or with a small microphone placed near the speaker of your television. The sound signal is transmitted to an amplifier loop running around the perimeter of a room or a small, personal loop worn around the neck of the listener. When you want to listen to television, you turn on and wear the neckloop (if applicable), then switch your hearing aids to the telecoil setting. Many public buildings, churches and theaters have this type of system to ensure accessibility for hearing aid wearers since induction loop technology is very easily accessed by anyone with a telecoil in one or both hearing aids.

TV headphones for hearing impaired

For people who don’t wear hearing aids but are hard of hearing, the most common ALD for television is TV earphones. These devices, also called TV headphones or TV hearing aids, are simple-to-use devices consisting of a transmitting base that plugs directly into your television’s headphone jack and a headset worn by the listener wishing to hear the signal. One popular product, TV Ears, is a wireless headphone device that uses infrared light to transmit the sound signal from the transmission base to the earphones. With an infrared signal, the wearer must position the base so it is within the line of sight of the headset at all times. There are controls on the headset so wearers may adjust the volume and tone of the sound delivered to their ears. One transmission base can deliver signals to multiple headset units, which can be controlled independently by users.

Captioned television

Sometimes the television audio signal just isn’t clear enough, even for those who don’t have a hearing loss. Closed-caption television allows you to both hear and read speech on the television, making it a popular option for everyone in the family. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) requires all digital televisions with screens greater than 13″ to offer closed captioning. This is a great option for people with hearing loss because it likely already exists on your television. Look for a button on your remote control with a CC icon. It usually toggles captions on and off. It can take time to get accustomed to the captioning running across the bottom of your screen but those who use it regularly find it enhances their ability to enjoy television.

Finding the best solution

If you need help and don’t know where to start, visit a hearing provider near you. Many practitioners display and demonstrate television-compatible devices or can point you to local electronics stores which carry the devices you would like to try.

The Best TV Hearing Devices Of 2023 – Forbes Health

If you have trouble hearing the television, you’re far from alone.

Approximately one-third of older U.S. adults experience some degree of hearing loss, and the ability to hear well tends to decrease with age, according to the National Institute on Aging^[1]Hearing Loss: A Common Problem For Older Adults. National Institute on Aging. Accessed 2/28/2023. . Thankfully, hearing technology continues to evolve, particularly as it pertains to TV hearing devices, which have the power to transform how you (and perhaps your partner) experience your favorite programs.

Read on to learn more about TV hearing devices, including what they are, how they work and what to consider before making a purchase.

What Is a TV Hearing Device?

TV hearing devices include various technologies designed to make television watching easier and more enjoyable for those with difficulty hearing, explains Allie Treseder, Au. D., an audiologist at Entheos Audiology Cooperative in Indiana. They come in many forms, from Bluetooth-powered headphones and hearing aids that connect directly to the television to amplifying devices like FM systems and wireless speakers.

TV hearing devices aren’t designed solely for people with hearing impairments, explains Dr. Treseder. In fact, they can help anyone who experiences difficulty understanding television dialogue due to background noise or other distractions.

Often an audiologist or hearing health professional can work with you to find the TV hearing device that best suits your needs and preferences, as well as help you learn how to pair the device with your television.

How TV Hearing Devices Work

Most TV hearing devices use a transmitter that plugs into the television’s audio output to send an audio signal directly to the user’s receiver, explains Dr. Treseder. “The receiver is equipped with a volume control and headphone jack, allowing them to adjust the sound to their needs. ”

Some hearing devices include noise reduction, balance control and automatic volume adjustment features as well, according to Dr. Treseder.

Different Types of TV Hearing Devices

TV hearing devices come in several forms, ranging in technology level, convenience and cost.

Wireless Headphones

If you have a Bluetooth-enabled television, you can connect it to virtually any wireless headphones. The headphones sit comfortably over the ears—and fit over most hearing aids—and allow users to set the volume at their preferred level without worrying about others in the room or nearby.

High-quality wireless headphone brands to consider include Shokz, Sennheiser, Astro, Sound World Solutions, Sony and Bose.

Hearing Aids With Bluetooth

Bluetooth technology enables hearing aids to connect directly to a television’s audio source. Users simply pair their hearing aids to their television the same way they would connect the devices to a smartphone.

Jabra, Phonak, Starkey, Signia and Oticon all sell high-quality Bluetooth hearing aids.

Induction or Hearing Loop Systems and Telecoils

Induction loops, or hearing loop systems, are often found in public spaces, such as churches, courthouses or performance venues, thanks to requirements established by the Americans with Disabilities Act.

A loop cable is a fixed copper wire that can be installed around the perimeter of a room. Hearing aids and cochlear implants with a telecoil, a small copper wire inside the device, can pick up the wireless signals emitted by these systems, filtering out unwanted background noise in the space for the person wearing the hearing aids. Many modern hearing aids and all cochlear implant processors come with a telecoil, which means a lot of hearing aid and cochlear implant users can benefit significantly from hearing loop systems installed in public spaces.

Hearing loops can be installed and used in the home, too. When it comes to television use specifically, the loop cable connects to the television via its headset jack, creating an electromagnetic field that transmits sound to the telecoil in a hearing aids or cochlear implant processor.

Oval Window, Williams, Contacta and Artone all sell hearing loop systems for home use.

Infrared Systems, FM Systems and Personal Amplifiers

Infrared systems convert infrared light into sound with the help of a transmitter and receiver. The transmitter takes sound, converts it into a beam of light and sends it to a receiver worn by the listener (typically either hearing aids or headphones). That receiver converts the infrared signal back to sound.

Hearing aid and cochlear implant users with telecoils can also connect to infrared systems with a neck loop. The neck coil converts infrared signals into magnetic signals that their hearing devices pick up via the telecoils.

Infrared systems work well for people who are sharing a television and want more individual volume control without bothering another person. These types of devices may not work outdoors or in rooms with lots of natural light, however, as sunlight can disrupt the sound-carrying light waves.

Frequency modulation (FM) systems are another practical option, especially in situations with a lot of background noise. Similar to infrared systems, FM devices also use a transmitter and receiver, but FM transmitters use radio frequencies to send sound directly from the source to the listener who wears headphones or a hearing aid.

Places like theaters, auditoriums and lecture halls often have FM systems installed to assist people with hearing impairment. FM transmitters can also be connected to a television, sending the sound from the television straight into a person’s hearing aids.

Meanwhile, personal amplifiers are wearable electronic sound devices that contain a microphone, speaker and amplifier. The microphone picks up on nearby sound and sends it to the listener’s ear at a louder volume. Personal amplifiers are easy to use at home. You can find them at retailers such as Best Buy and Walmart.

Brands to consider for these types of devices include TV Ears, Simolio, Neosonic and Avantree.

Soundbars

If you’re watching television alone, a soundbar—which is typically easy to install—can amplify sound significantly by using multiple internal speakers.

Several manufacturers make soundbars that claim to prioritize voice and sound clarity—and are built specifically for people with hearing impairments. Consider soundbars from ZVOX, Sonos, Samsung, Polk Audio and Vizio for an improved home listening experience.

Closed Captioning

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) requires all digital televisions over 13 inches to provide closed captioning text. Captions enable viewers to read dialogue as they watch television rather than straining to hear what’s being said. Look for the “CC” icon on your remote control to toggle captions on and off.

What to Consider When Purchasing a TV Hearing Device

“When selecting a TV hearing device, consider the features you need,” says Dr. Treseder. “Some devices offer more features than others, such as noise reduction or balance control. You should also make sure the device is comfortable to wear, especially if you plan on wearing it for extended periods [of time].”

It’s also important to understand that these devices require a power source. Dr. Treseder advises clients to consider whether they plan to use the device at home exclusively or while away from home as well. Some TV hearing devices come with disposable batteries while others are rechargeable.

“Make sure the device is compatible with your TV before purchasing one,” she adds. “And always read the owner’s manual to ensure it’s set up properly.”

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What are the top TV hearing device options?

Wireless headphones and Bluetooth hearing aids are popular and convenient TV hearing device options, especially for those who already own a television with Bluetooth compatibility. People with mild hearing loss or trouble picking up dialogue may start with closed captioning as a free alternative.

“Ultimately, the right device for you depends on your individual needs and preferences,” says Dr. Treseder.

How do I pair hearing aids to my TV?

Check your television’s owner’s manual for directions, as instructions vary from one manufacturer to another. You can pair a Bluetooth device by opening your television’s settings or accessories menu. Search for and select Bluetooth Options, then set your television to “pairing mode.” Put your hearing aids in “pairing mode” as well to complete the connection.

Are TV hearing devices worth it?

TV hearing devices can be an excellent investment for people who want to improve their viewing experience, says Dr. Treseder. They provide clearer sound, allowing users to understand the dialogue better and catch more of the action.

Watching TV is one of the most important problems faced by older people with hearing impairments.

Patients in this age group spend more time watching TV than, for example, with guests or listening to music and visiting theaters. It is noted that after retirement, watching TV takes more than 50% of the leisure time of an elderly person. Our pensioners spend more than 6 hours a day watching TV. TV for them is not only entertainment, but also a source of information about events in the world, in the country, in the city.

Unfortunately, hearing-impaired people face difficulties in perceiving any speech information from the TV screen. There are many factors involved in successfully understanding the voices of television series characters and the speech of news announcers. These factors include: the variety of voices and diction of the speakers, the rapid change in the topic of the conversation and the subject of discussion, the speed of speech, ambient noise, and the characteristics of the listener’s perception.

The speech rate of a television announcer is often twice the rate of normal speech. This makes the speaker’s speech difficult to understand. Studies show that this speed of speech has a negative effect on the ability to watch TV for older people with hearing loss.

Ambient noise also affects speech intelligibility. When watching TV, noise comes from two main sources: the noise can be part of the soundtrack of the TV programs themselves (music and other effects) or it can come from various ambient noise sources.

All these factors make listening to TV very difficult. In addition, there are characteristics of a particular listener: age and hearing loss, which also contribute to the difficulty of understanding speech on TV.

The easiest and most common way to solve this kind of intelligibility problem is to turn up the TV volume as much as possible. But, in this case, a new kind of problem arises: the TV begins to annoy all household members, and also, in some cases, housemates. Turning up the TV volume is often the main reason for visiting a hearing care professional and buying a hearing aid.

It would seem that all problems are solved. However, it turns out that only a part of hearing aid users get full satisfaction from listening to TV, the other part, even after purchasing a hearing aid, encounters the same problems.

Unfortunately, the understanding of speech on TV in the elderly does not improve significantly even with a hearing aid. Using the ability to enter subtitles, of course, significantly improves the situation, but not all pensioners have the opportunity to buy a TV with this option. In addition, very often hearing problems in older people are also accompanied by problems with vision and the ability to quickly read. And in such cases, the need to read subtitles deprives people of the enjoyment of watching television programs.

In a normal situation with speech comprehension difficulties, the hearing care professional will give standard advice on how to improve intelligibility: look clearly at the speaker’s face, ask the speaker to speak more slowly and clearly. These techniques, unfortunately, are unrealistic to use when listening to TV shows. Here the contact is one-sided. What will help in such a difficult situation?

Use of special adapters only. Starting with the use of simple induction loops that allow you to listen to TV through the hearing aid program “Inductor” or T-program, also special audio adapters for TV connected to the hearing aid through a special audio shoe, and ending with the use of special TV adapters connected to control panels and interacting on a special range with a hearing aid. Patients using one of these devices had 15% to 66% (mean 45%) higher speech intelligibility when watching TV compared to those using only a hearing aid.

Please consult your specialist on this matter. And he will find the most acceptable solution for you.

New technologies are more and more introduced into the life of modern man. The fire brigade does not stand aside either. Modern cars, robots and the latest fire extinguishing methods are in service with the fire brigade garrison, which provides timely and high-quality assistance to the population.

In the 25th fire and rescue squad of the FPS 7 PSC FPS for the city of Moscow is armed with AC 3.2 -40 / 4 with the installation of water jet cutting “Cobra”.

The Kobra Waterjet Fire Suppression System combines safety for firefighters with efficiency and reduced environmental impact compared to other fire suppression methods. Currently, more than 900 fire extinguishing systems with waterjet cutting “Cobra” are in operation, installed both on fire trucks of rapid response and on fire trucks of various classes (tank trucks, ladders, articulating lifts) in more than 30 countries around the world. The high efficiency of using the Kobra systems is due to the implementation of optimal technical solutions. The essence of the waterjet cutting method has been known for many years and consists in mixing abrasive particles with water and supplying the resulting mixture under high pressure.

There is a significant difference in the tactical use of the Cobra water jet fire fighting method and traditional fire fighting methods, especially when fires need to be extinguished in an enclosed space. The smaller the opening through which water is supplied, and the higher the degree of atomization, the more effectively the temperature inside the room is reduced. Water, being converted into water vapor and having a high degree of contact, effectively cools and neutralizes combustible gases, reducing the overall temperature of the fire. Experience with the Cobra extinguishing method shows that it is also an effective tool for fighting well-ventilated fires.

The advantage of the Cobra installation is the increased safety of firefighters, as extinguishing is carried out from a safe place outside the building / structure, avoiding the risk of injury due to exposure to flames, combustible gases, toxic and carcinogenic substances that affect the skin and lungs.

Klipsch Cinema 600 Review: Sound your horn

Verdict

The Klipsch Cinema 600 3.1-channel soundbar includes HDMI-ARC and delivers fantastic audio thanks to its horn-loaded tweeters, but doesn’t reach its full potential due to a lack of support for lossless audio

Pros

Impressive sonic performance

Well integrated subwoofer

Incredibly easy to setup

Effective remote app

Optional surround speakers

Cons

Horn-loaded tweeters not for everyone

No lossless audio support

Limited connections

Key Features

Tractrix horn-loaded tweetersDesigned to improve speaker sensitivity and dispersion

Centre channelDedicated centre speaker for dialogue

Wireless subwooferSeparate subwoofer for deeper bass

Introduction

The new Klipsch Cinema 600 expands the manufacturers line-up of soundbars by offering a mid-range model designed to appeal to more audiophile-minded TV viewers.

The company’s continued use of horn-loaded tweeters promises greater sensitivity and wider dispersion, while powerful amplification and a 10-inch subwoofer promise to add depth and scale.

The similarly-specified Klipsch Bar 48 impressed when we reviewed it in 2019, but also suffered from a number of shortcomings. Does the Klipsch Cinema 600 address these issues while remaining true to its name? Let’s find out.

The Klipsch Cinema 600 was released in December 2020 and currently retails for £549 / €599 / $499 / CAD$699 / AUD$999.

Looks virtually identical to previous models

Simple design and solid construction

Display limited to LED lights

The Klipsch Cinema 600 looks almost identical to the Bar 48, although the dimensions are slightly different. It sports the same horn-loaded tweeters, which remain something of an acquired taste, and the overall design is fairly basic with a wooden cabinet and wraparound black fabric grille.

The exposed tweeters at either end provide the only splash of style, with a brushed metal finish and wooden end caps. Aside from the left and right tweeters, all the other drivers are hidden way behind the fabric grille. The build quality is solid, but not exceptional.

There are some basic controls above the right-hand tweeter for power, source and volume up/down, and in lieu of a display you get a series of indecipherable coloured lights. Thankfully this soundbar is relatively simple, making the display largely redundant.

The included wireless active subwoofer is also made of wood, finished in matte black and has a similar level of build quality to the soundbar itself. There’s a large 10-inch downward-firing driver with a bass port, and the bar and sub should pair automatically when you first turn them on.

Features

Horn-loaded tweeters

Dedicated centre speaker

Surround expansion option

Klipsch Connect app

The Klipsch Cinema 600 includes a full-sized remote, which is still something of a rarity when it comes to soundbars, and the buttons are clearly labelled and sensibly laid out. However, the lack of a proper display on the ‘bar itself does make it difficult to tell what you’ve just selected.

The Klipsch Connect app for both iOS and Android devices helps in this in regard, not only providing effective control, but also firmware updates, set-up guide with videos, one-tap access to support, and product registration. Klipsch will also be adding EQ adjustments in the near future.

At the rear you’ll find an HDMI ARC port, an optical digital input, and a 3.5mm analogue input. There’s also a connector for an IR extender, Bluetooth, and a subwoofer output allowing you to make a wired connection if there’s wireless interference.

The Klipsch Cinema 600 is a fairly basic soundbar, which makes setup easy, but also means it lacks certain features. The decoding is limited to lossy Dolby Digital and DTS soundtracks, and while this soundbar can handle 5.1 channels, there’s no support for immersive audio formats like Dolby Atmos.

While the system delivers 3. 1 channels out of the box, you can run a full 5.1-channel system by investing in the optional SURROUND 3 rear speakers which cost £255 / $255 and connect using a wireless transmitter that connects into a USB port hidden behind the right end cap.

There’s no built-in Wi-Fi, which means no smart features, no multi-room functionality, and no support for Chromecast or Apple AirPlay. The only wireless connection is via Bluetooth, so despite this soundbar’s audiophile aspirations there’s also no Hi-Res audio support, which is disappointing.

Sound quality

Impressive sensitivity and detailed delivery

Front soundstage has plenty of width

Centre speaker ensures clear dialogue

Deep and well-integrated bass

The Klipsch Cinema 600 feels like a continuation of the manufacturer’s earlier soundbars, retaining the same strengths and weaknesses. In particular, the 3.1-channel design emphasises sound quality rather than features, with three front-firing speakers each composed of a Tractrix horn-loaded 1-inch soft dome tweeter, and a 3-inch oval fibre composite cone woofer.

The inclusion of a dedicated centre speaker ensures dialogue remains clear and focused on the screen, while the woofers and tweeters provide an impressively broad frequency response. The size of the soundbar itself ensures there’s width to the front soundstage, and the subwoofer delivers deep and tight bass that crosses over seamlessly with the other speakers.

This particular system might be limited to lossy audio codecs, but it delivers a high quality sonic performance. The horn-loaded tweeters are very sensitive, ensuring a highly detailed delivery. The many scenes of silence in A Quiet Place are filled with subtle audio cues, while the efficiency of the speakers and the powerful subwoofer provide sufficient dynamic range to scare the life out of you.

The film Midway boasts a very dynamic soundtrack that the Klipsch Cinema 600 handles with surprising skill considering it has no rear or upward-firing speakers. The resulting experience remains suitably visceral, with the sub giving the explosions a seismic kick, and planes zooming around the front of the room. Despite the complexity of the film’s soundtrack, dialogue remains clear and focused.

The Klipsch Cinema 600 doesn’t come with rear speakers, but there is the option to buy wireless surrounds, although this obviously adds to the price. There’s a Surround mode designed to give the three main channels greater presence, but it doesn’t really make any difference. However, the Dialogue mode helps bring out the clarity in commentaries, voice overs and narration, while the Night mode levels the audio and reduces the bass, so as not to disturb the family.

This soundbar is an excellent all-rounder, making it an effective sonic upgrade to any TV. Whether you’re watching your favourite programme, the latest movie, or the big game, you’ll be rewarded by an accomplished performance that keeps voice-overs crystal clear, and brings out all the detail in crowd noises or action scenes.

There’s a crisp clarity to the overall tone, with no harshness or sibilance, making this soundbar great with music. There’s also a spaciousness to the delivery, placing instruments with precision, while the drums have plenty of percussive thump thanks to the well-integrated sub. Unfortunately, given its musical prowess, it’s a shame the Cinema 600 is limited to lossy audio and Bluetooth.

Best Offers

Should you buy it?

If you want to boost your TV’s audio with a high-quality front soundstage and some deep bass, then the Cinema 600 will deliver a classy sonic performance.

Despite its audiophile aspirations this soundbar is limited to lossy codecs, which means no immersive or Hi-Res audio support.

Final thoughts

The Klipsch Cinema 600 continues the company’s love affair with horn-loaded tweeters, delivering another solid soundbar and subwoofer combo that produces a high quality sonic performance. The soundstage is enjoyably big and detailed, with plenty of bass.

Unfortunately, the Cinema 600 is also limited to lossy audio codecs, which means no Hi-Res or immersive audio. There’s also no Wi-Fi or smart capabilities, aside from a Bluetooth remote app. So if you want these features, you’ll need to go further up the Klipsch soundbar range.

Dolby Atmos

Dolby Atmos is an object-based audio format. It expands on 5.1 and 7.1 soundtracks by adding overhead channels. Sounds are referred to as “audio objects”, of which there can be up to 128 audio channels, and these ‘objects’ can be accurately positioned within a 3D soundscape. This allows soundtracks that support the technology to place sounds above and around the listener with compatible kit.

Klipsch Cinema 600 Soundbar Review: Big, Bold Stereo Sound

“Powerful and precise, the Cinema 600 is a soundbar for those who like it loud.”

Pros

Premium materials and finishes

Simple setup and operation

Effective dialogue modes

Powerful and precise sound

Cons

Subwoofer underwhelms

Mediocre virtual surround mode

The soundbar market is huge, with models that run the gamut from small TV speakers to monstrous multidevice home theater replacements and range in price from $100 to over $1,000. Somewhere in the middle, you should be able to find a system that delivers powerful, room-filling sound, simplicity of setup and use, and a price that doesn’t make you rethink your life choices. Into that gap falls the $500 Klipsch Cinema 600, a 3.1 soundbar system with one of the biggest subwoofers we’ve ever seen.

Does the Cinema 600 satisfy? Let’s check it out.

What’s in the box?

Simon Cohen / Digital Trends

The Cinema 600’s L-shaped box is an unwieldy beast you may want to recruit a friend to move — the courier who delivered our review model nearly hurt himself while negotiating our front steps, even with a dolly. Inside, you’ll find the soundbar, the subwoofer, two power cables, an HDMI cable, wall-mount brackets with a template, a remote control with batteries, and the user’s manual. There’s a lot of styrofoam used to protect the components, but the rest can likely be curbside recycled should you choose not to keep it.

The company has designed its soundbars to attract your eyes as much as your ears.

Design

Simon Cohen / Digital Trends

Klipsch is obsessed with putting its speaker technology on display for all to see. Its signature copper drivers are so distinct that a lot of folks never bother installing the included black fabric grilles that come with Klipsch products. So it’s no surprise that the company has designed its soundbars to attract your eyes as much as your ears.

Black-stained wood endcaps, brushed metal accents, and a black fabric grille all exude a restrained, high-end vibe. But the exposed tweeters at the ends, framed by Klipsch’s signature Tractrix horns, may be more polarizing. Personally, I don’t want visual distractions drawing my eye from the screen when watching TV, so I prefer subtle soundbars. These silver plastic horns are hard to ignore when they catch even the faintest traces of room light. It makes the design of the Cinema 600 a harder sell for me, but I’m guessing Klipsch fans won’t mind it at all.

At 45 inches wide, the soundbar is on the long side for the category, but it’s the height that might pose a problem. At nearly three inches tall, there’s a chance it will obscure a portion of the screen on TVs that have very short stands or feet. Measure your setup carefully unless you plan on wall-mounting the bar (which is easy to do thanks to the included hardware).

Control buttons for power, source, and volume sit on the top right of the bar, below a small display that shows the status of each feature. It’s handy to have them, but play/pause and mute buttons feel like obvious omissions.

The down-firing wireless subwoofer is, well, I’m just going to say it: Freaking enormous. It stands over 18 inches tall and is over one foot wide on each side. You probably shouldn’t place objects on top of it or use it as a stool, but it’s nice knowing that you could — it’s ultra-solid, with the same furniture-grade black wood as the soundbar providing an uninterrupted frame on five sides.

Klipsch recommends placing it near the front of the viewing area — against a wall or in a corner — for a more pronounced bass effect. But given its size, this might not be possible in every situation.

Setup and connections

Simon Cohen / Digital Trends

Setting up the Cinema 600 is a snap. Plug the soundbar into your TV with the included HDMI cable or your own optical or analog cable, and then plug the soundbar and subwoofer into their respective power outlets. That’s it, you’re done. But pay attention when the manual says to plug in the soundbar first, then the subwoofer — it makes the pairing sequence between the two components much smoother.

The included remote is well-designed and, impressively, backlit for easy viewing in darkened rooms.

Using the bar’s HDMI ARC connection will allow your TV to control its volume and mute functions, but like many soundbars, it doesn’t support some audio formats that require HDMI ARC (like Dolby Digital Plus and Dolby Atmos). It also lacks an HDMI input to use it as a passthrough, so if your TV has limited HDMI ports, you may want to use an optical cable instead. You’ll lose volume and mute control, but don’t worry, there’s a workaround — the soundbar can be set to respond to your TV or cable box’s remote.

In addition to the optical and HDMI ports, you get an analog jack and Bluetooth for wireless streaming from a smartphone. Each input can be selected using the top-mounted buttons or the remote control, which means you can have up to four sources of sound within easy access.

The connection ports sit inside a very small cavity, so if you’re going to run cables to each one, you may have to play around with the order to keep them from bumping into each other.

The Cinema 600 also has a USB port hidden behind the right-side endcap that is primarily used for firmware updates but can also be used for playback of audio files from a USB stick or hard drive. I did not test this feature.

Ease of use

Simon Cohen / Digital Trends

The included remote is well-designed and, impressively, backlit for easy viewing in darkened rooms. A motion sensor lights it up as soon as you pick it up. Deeper functions like bass level, surround mode, dialogue enhancement, and nighttime mode are all easily accessed from dedicated buttons.

Whether it’s Hollywood blockbusters or the latest original TV series from HBO or Netflix, the sound is punchy, precise, and high-energy.

It’s perfectly intuitive, but I’m not crazy about the bar of LED dots on the front face of the soundbar as an indicator for what’s going on. As a volume display, it works perfectly, but the moment you get into surround or dialogue modes, you need the manual to interpret dot sequences. It’s like Morse code. Klipsch should consider shipping the Cinema 600 with a display-equipped remote as Vizio does with its midtier and flagship soundbars. The last thing you want to do when watching a movie is dig out a manual.

The Cinema 600 is a 3. 1 channel system, which means you get the equivalent of three speakers (left and right front channels, plus a center channel) and the subwoofer. That’s a near-perfect setup for folks who simply want much better sound than their TVs can produce. It gives you excellent stereo separation while maintaining crystal-clear dialogue via the center channel.

Whether it’s Hollywood blockbusters or the latest original TV series from HBO or Netflix, the sound is punchy, precise, and high-energy. And wow does this system get loud when you want it to — with nary a hint of distortion. After all, 600 watts is a lot of power.

The four dialogue modes successfully increase speech intelligibility, something I’ve come to rely on for dialogue-heavy shows like The Crown.

Overall, it’s a hugely enjoyable TV sound system. But there are two areas that I found less than stellar.

First, you would think that with such a huge subwoofer, low-end bass rumble would be off the charts. But even with the bass level maxed out, low-frequency effects are seriously subdued. Part of this may be attributed to where I placed the subwoofer — in the middle of my viewing wall, not in a corner. But I don’t think that ought to make a huge difference. Don’t get me wrong, there’s still plenty of bass, but it feels like it’s being produced by a sub half the size of the unit that ships with the Cinema 600.

Second, you can engage a virtual surround mode that, in theory, widens the beams of sound coming from the bar to create the equivalent of having a full 5.1 surround system. Using this mode definitely increases the width of the soundstage, but at the same time, it punctuates the high frequencies and pulls back on the midrange. The effect actually flattens the sound instead of making it more immersive.

On the bright side, if a true 5.1 system is what you want, you don’t need to choose between great 3.1 and mediocre virtualized surround sound. The Cinema 600 can be expanded with Klipsch’s wireless Surround 3 ($250 per pair) speakers, or you can buy them together as a bundle early in 2021.

Music on the Cinema 600 is also very dynamic (though once again, that surround mode should be avoided). Modern, studio-produced tracks like The Weeknd’s Blinding Lights or Beck’s Uneventful Days sound especially good, while older material is not quite as vibrant but still enjoyable.

Our take

Klipsch delivers a lively and loud 3.1 home theater soundbar in the Cinema 600, which boasts a good set of connections and a well-designed remote.

Is there a better alternative?

There’s no shortage of excellent soundbar options at the same $500 price as the Cinema 600. The LG SN7Y is a 3.1.2 system that does a decent job of delivering Dolby Atmos from a single bar, and Sony’s HT-G700 might just best both the Klipsch and LG in terms of virtualized surround sound. Either of these soundbars will likely prove more satisfying than the Cinema 600 from a multichannel point of view, but if you’re after a clean, powerful sound, it’s hard to beat Klipsch.

How long will it last?

Klipsch has a reputation for high-quality gear and the Cinema 600 is a well-built system that should last for many years to come. Klipsch backs it with a one-year warranty on the electronics and a three-year warranty on the cabinetry and woofer components.

Should you buy it?

Yes. Though not as immersive as some soundbars, the Cinema 600 deserves a spot on your short list for its power and precision.

Klipsch reference speakers make home theaters look as good as they sound

Klipsch Cinema 600 Review – BLOG.XIOT

Good soundbar systems with subwoofers are rarely cheap. Many of the inexpensive systems we test often come bundled with frankly mediocre subwoofers that fail to deliver the quality cinematic bass sound we desire at home.

Klipsch Cinema 600. Image from the official site klipsch.com

Klipsch Cinema 600 for (average price on the market) – 65 000 ₽ – this is an amazing sounding 3. 1 system that is really capable of delivering clear sound and powerful low frequencies.

The Cinema 600 also reproduces dialogue and music with incredible clarity, regardless of genre. Plus, it can be expanded to a true 5.1 surround sound system with wireless rear satellites.

Designed by Klipsch Cinema 600
The soundbar measures 7.11 x 114.3 x 8.64 cm (HxWxD). The body is made of MDF (MDF), and the grill is made with a fabric lining that covers most of the visible surface. Under the hood are seven drivers: three 1-inch soft dome tweeters paired with Tractrix’s proprietary horn tweeters at each end. Also, there are four woofers with three-inch cones.

Soundbar Klipsch Cinema 600 can be wall mounted. The kit includes a rail, two screws for wall mounting and brackets.

Inputs and Connectors

Along the rear panel are inputs for HDMI ARC (cable included), optical (cable included) and 3. 5mm aux. The rear panel also has a connector for the included power cable, and a physical subwoofer output for a wired connection (generally, there is no special need for it, because the bundled sub connects via bluetooth). Next to these jacks is a Pair button that you can use to manually connect the subwoofer if it doesn’t connect automatically.

Image courtesy of klipsch.com

The Klipsch Cinema 600 supports Dolby Digital playback, allowing for discrete dialogue channels and cinema-like sound (especially when the system is upgraded to 5.1). You can also connect audio devices to it via Bluetooth to stream your favorite music.

Subwoofer
The subwoofer, measuring 46.99 by 36.32 by 36.83 cm, automatically pairs with the soundbar when the system is turned on.

Image from the official site klipsch.com

It is made of MDF (MDF), with a 10-inch speaker pointing down. The rear panel has a connector for the included power cable (long enough to connect in the room) and a button to reconnect if the subwoofer loses its wireless connection to the soundbar. Overall, the system provides a frequency range of 28 Hz to 20 kHz and a total power of 600 watts.

Remote control

The remote control has buttons to turn on and adjust the brightness of the soundbar display (status LEDs), Bluetooth (to switch to paired devices, as well as to pair with new ones), 3.5 mm analog input and digital (for optical input), TV (for HDMI ARC connection) and Sub Reset (resets volume settings to factory settings).

Klipsch Cinema 600 system with remote control. Image from official site klipsch.com

It also has dedicated volume up/down buttons for the main speakers and separate ones for the subwoofer, classic controls: play/pause and buttons for night mode (which reduces bass and limits dynamics for quieter viewing from maintaining the readability of all audio tracks), a dialogue mode (which expands the frequency range of dialogue – the very thing to watch Reservoir Dogs in the original) and a surround sound mode.

The remote control requires two AA batteries (not included) and superhuman patience to remove the user-inconvenient battery compartment. The battery cover is a smooth surface without any indentations or catches. But eventually, the whole back of the remote control slides off. And, once you do that, it will be much easier to open and close later on.

Klipsch Connect app

The Klipsch Connect app for Android and iOS is very useful. It notifies you when a new firmware is available and helps you update the soundbar software. Klipsch sincerely promise to have equalizer settings soon.

It is advisable to download the app and register your soundbar. But, this is not necessary for normal operation.

Klipsch Cinema 600 movie sound test
In the crash scene from Blade Runner 2049, in which Ryan Gosling falls from the sky in a flying vehicle, the system delivers an impressively powerful impact. The well-placed bass shots in the following scene (I hope this is not a spoiler?) stand out and add to the atmosphere even at the minimum subwoofer volume.

Frame from Blade runner 2049. Image from open sources.

What’s more, the Surround surprises with its quality. It really adds to the atmosphere and immersion, and is not just uselessly present for show, as in most soundbars in the same price segment.

System does not muffle dialogue with background sound and effects. They are very readable both in dubbing and with original soundtracks. For example, the scene (spoiler?) of the tank battle from the movie Fury.

Still from Fury. Image from open sources.

When switching from Surround to Stereo, still retains excellent clarity, but the soundstage seems more extended with Surround enabled.

We do not recommend using the surround mode for music as it can make tracks recorded in the studio sound a little strange. For this reason, we tested music playback with the surround mode turned off and the subwoofer tuned exactly to the middle.

Music test on

Klipsch Cinema 600
We tested Klipsch Cinema 600 as the most classic sound, including from vinyl – Guns n’ roses – Appetite for destruction , and on a more modern one – in data streaming mode. In the second version, we did not spare the system with classical gentle compositions, but immediately put Suicide silence – Disengage to check the readability of low and high frequencies.

Klipsch Cinema 600 system with remote. Image courtesy of klipsch.com

On the Disengage , the Cinema 600 delivers bass deep enough to feel the drums in your stomach. At maximum volume, the sound is not distorted, even if the subwoofer is set to maximum. And, this thing is really damn loud! This is one of the most powerful systems we’ve tested in a while! It may even be louder than most home theaters will ever need.

At moderate volumes, the bass is full and impressively deep, but the mix is still perfectly balanced.

Terminals

The Klipsch Cinema 600 delivers impressive performance from subwoofer rumble to soundbar clarity. The system sounds at the level of much more expensive options and more and less power.

The Klipsch Cinema 600 is an affordable way to bring cinema sound back into the home.

Pros

Powerful sound with deep sub-bass and crisp highs

Wireless subwoofer

Bluetooth streaming

Virtual surround mode sounds really good

System can be extended to 5.1

WHAT IS A SOUNDBAR?

Soundbars owe their existence to flat panel TVs… at least to some extent. Of course, these thin screens produced crystal clear images. But their tiny built-in speakers can’t even reproduce dialogue clearly, let alone the convincing explosions, car crashes and other mayhem that keeps us addicted to our favorite movies and TV shows.

Not only are TV speakers small and underpowered, but they are also almost always pointed in the wrong direction, radiating sound down or toward the wall behind the TV. Not surprisingly, everything comes out fuzzy and out of focus.

So the purpose of the soundbar is to provide sound quality that more closely matches the realistic picture on your TV. Hardware manufacturers use a variety of methods to achieve this, and just about any soundbar you choose will sound better than your TV’s speakers. Much better.

WHY DO I NEED A SOUNDBAR?

The popularity of soundbars has skyrocketed in recent years, and the number of models has skyrocketed as well. So, we’ve put together this buying guide to help you quickly figure out which soundbar is best for you.

The Soundbar is an all-in-one speaker system that delivers high quality TV sound without the space, complexity and expense of a home theater receiver and surround sound speaker setup. The long, thin body of the soundbar contains two or more speakers and can provide stereo or surround sound. Some soundbars come with a separate subwoofer for deep bass reproduction that adds impact to movie and music soundtracks.

Almost all soundbars you will come across are self-powered or “active”, that is, they have their own built-in amplifiers. But there is a disappearing variety of soundbars designed to be plugged into and powered by a receiver. These passive or passive soundbars lack another major benefit of active models: ease of setup and operation. We’re only looking at self powered soundbars as that’s what 99.9% of users are looking for.

When shopping, you will find soundbars from almost every audio company, as well as most TV manufacturers. A soundbar made by the same company as your TV may be perfect cosmetically or offer other compatibility benefits. But for pure sound quality, you’re probably better off with a model from a company whose primary focus is audio.

Tip: Soundbars come in all shapes and sizes. Some of them can be mounted directly on the wall, while others can be placed under the TV or placed directly on the entertainment stand. Part of choosing the best soundbar for your needs involves measuring your space. There’s nothing worse than unpacking amazing hardware and discovering it doesn’t fit your TV and stand. Our advice? Measure the length, width and depth of your flat TV and stand before buying a soundbar. Then use this information to help you in your search.

WHAT ABOUT A SUBWOOFER FOR MY SOUNDBAR?

If you think you might need a soundbar with an accompanying subwoofer, this might limit your placement options a bit, but probably less than you expected. This is because almost all of these subwoofers are wireless. That is, they receive the audio signal from the soundbar wirelessly, so you don’t need to connect any cables between the soundbar and the subwoofer. But you will need to plug the subwoofer into an outlet for power.

Also, the low frequencies produced by a subwoofer are difficult for our ears to pick up, so you can usually place the subwoofer almost anywhere in the room and it will work well with the soundbar. Place it next to the sofa or put it in the corner behind a potted palm tree.

STEREO OR SURROUND?

It’s worth repeating that any sound bar will sound better than a TV. Basic soundbars are typically a stereo system that plays the same left and right channel audio information as your TV. But they sound much more powerful thanks to larger drivers powered by real power amplifiers.

You will also encounter systems with two speakers or even three speakers in a left/right/center configuration that can go beyond the limitations of stereo. These soundbars can use Dolby Digital processing to anchor dialogue to the TV screen and place sounds so you get a wider front soundstage with more precise placement of sound effects.

In addition, there are multi-channel soundbars that simulate the realistic surround sound of a full surround sound system with multiple speakers. They are usually labeled as 5.1 or 7.1 systems, with discrete sounds assigned to each channel to create a three-dimensional sound field. Some soundbars use special “beam” speakers that bounce sound off the walls, making your ears think there are speakers all around you.

YOU CAN ALSO GET THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS.

Just getting a sound that’s louder and fuller than your TV’s speakers is pretty exciting, but most soundbars have a few other sonic tricks up their sleeves. Actors’ voices will naturally sound much clearer thanks to larger, higher quality speakers, but many soundbars add dialogue enhancement features that make voices even louder and move them forward in the mix.

And here’s something we’ve probably all experienced: Watching TV at a comfortable volume and then suddenly falling off the couch when an ad pops up. Most soundbars are now equipped with technology to ensure ads are not louder than show soundtracks. Another common feature is the “late night” mode, which reduces program volume peaks, making it less likely that you’ll disturb someone sleeping in the next room.

ANTI-SURROUND SOUND BARS
Trying to decide between using a soundbar or a home theater system for your home? We have listened to your requests and put together this review to help you think and open your ears to differences in setup and sound quality.

As you know, sound bars are on trend with their sleek design, easy installation process and ability to produce a form of surround sound. Does this mean you have found a replacement for a separate surround sound system with front, rear and center speakers? No, of course not. Nothing can replace a full Klipsch home theater… BUT a soundbar can be the perfect solution for those looking to upgrade their weak TV speakers.

Let’s break down the pros and cons of each option so you can decide which is best for you.

SOUNDBAR OVERVIEW

Pros:

Easy installation and connection

Minimum wires

Modern design 9013 6
Great for small to medium living spaces

Superb virtual sound that simulates surround sound

Cons:

You may need to purchase a separate subwoofer (although most Klipsch soundbars come with a subwoofer, including the Bar 40 , Bar 48 and R-4B II )

Soundbar placement creates certain “sweet zones” while listening.

May not produce full surround sound, especially in large living spaces *

* New soundbars offer surround sound options including the Bar 48 Surround Sound home theater system. This soundbar and wireless subwoofer combo also comes with a set of Surround 3 speakers for an impressive high quality home theater experience.

SURROUND SOUND SYSTEM OVERVIEW

Pros:

Full surround sound

Ability to place speakers in multiple stations for optimal acoustics

Max Bass

Audiophile Theater System Presentation

Cons:

Most quality systems require wiring from the receiver to each individual speaker.

Takes up more space

More complicated installation process

More expensive

QUESTION: MORE = BETTER?
Large speakers may look like a big sound machine, but remember that looks can be deceiving. While it is true that large speakers have the ability to reproduce eardrum sound and are an excellent choice for a large room, soundbars and small speaker systems are more than capable of reproducing quality sound.

DO SOUNDBARS FOR MUSIC WORK?

Given the popularity of wireless music playback, it’s no surprise that many soundbars now offer this option. Built-in Bluetooth® makes it easy to stream music from your Bluetooth-enabled smartphone, tablet or computer. It works with music stored on your phone as well as your favorite music streaming apps (such as Spotify®). And these days, Bluetooth is the standard for wireless music streaming—almost all iOS®, Android®, and Windows® phones and tablets have built-in Bluetooth.

Some soundbars even have Wi-Fi® capability for quick access to online streaming services as well as your personal digital music library. Wi-Fi isn’t as secure to connect as Bluetooth, but some soundbars include Wi-Fi-based wireless audio systems like Play-Fi that let you set up a multi-room sound system so you can seamlessly play music throughout your home. The soundbar can also have a USB input, so you can download your favorite tunes to a flash drive, leave it plugged in and listen to it anytime.

HOW DO THE SOUNDBAR CONNECTIONS WORK?

When choosing a soundbar, make sure you choose one that suits your TV and other components. There are two main ways to connect a soundbar to your system. The most common way is to use the TV as a switching hub: you connect your Blu-ray player, cable or satellite box, and game console to the TV, and then send the audio from the TV to the soundbar.

This is a simple approach that allows you to switch audio and video simultaneously when you switch inputs on your TV. Typically, you set up a digital audio connection between your TV and soundbar – either optical or HDMI – to be able to enjoy surround sound from sources that offer it. This is a particularly good option if you bought your TV in 2015. That’s when TV manufacturers decided to build a true Dolby Digital pass-through into their TVs, allowing connected components such as Blu-ray players to send surround sound through the TV and to the receiver or soundbar.

Prior to 2015, if you used your TV as a switcher, the TV would convert any incoming audio to a two-channel PCM signal. It still plays on soundbars and sounds good, but it’s stereo, not surround. Incidentally, this is often the answer if you are getting an image but no audio from the connected source. Just enter the TV menu and you will find the sound setting for PCM or Dolby Digital.

Every HDTV and 4K TV has an optical digital output, as does almost every soundbar. This connection is second only to HDMI as a way to carry high quality audio from the TV to the soundbar. Speaking of HDMI, a growing number of soundbars include HDMI connections, which means you can plug your Blu-ray player or high-definition cable box directly into the soundbar.

Once your soundbar is connected and set up, you can usually use your TV remote to control its volume. Most TV and cable or satellite remotes can be programmed to control the soundbar, or the soundbar can learn commands from your TV.

Nintendo 3DS | GameStop

Nintendo 3DS system features real 3D graphics, no glasses needed! The Nintendo 3DS is a breakthrough in portable entertainment, a truly cutting-edge piece of hardware. The Nintendo 3DS opens up a whole new world of gaming possibilities with its stereoscopic 3D display. Imagine seeing Mario in the 3rd dimension or rescuing Zelda with mind blowing 3D graphics. It has to be seen to be believed. What if you don’t want 3D graphics? The Nintendo 3DS allows you to adjust the intensity of the 3D effects and turn them off completely with the 3D depth slider should you need to give your eyes a break, or if you have children ages 6 and under whom play for extended sessions. The Nintendo 3DS gives you total control over your games from the built in Gyro sensor to the Circle Pad to the always trusted D pad and stylus. The gyro sensor allows you to use the device as the controller. Tilt the 3DS and watch the compatible game react. For the active gamer the 3DS offers the Activity log which rewards you for carrying the 3DS with you as you walk with in-game coins! Additionally StreetPass™ allows you to communicate and share your Mii and game information with random people you meet throughout the day. Pictures can be taken in 3D using the 3DS and its three built-in cameras. Your pictures will come to life in crystal clear 3D.

Nintendo 3DS includes two screens. The bottom touch screen makes use of a telescoping stylus that is stored in the unit itself. The top screen displays 3D visuals to the naked eye. Looking at the screen is like peering through a window into a world where characters and objects have true depth. The system also has a 3D Depth Slider that lets players select the level of 3D they enjoy the most. The 3D effect can be ratcheted up to the highest level, scaled back to a more moderate setting or even turned off completely, depending on the preference of the user.

In addition to the familiar + Control Pad and button controls found on previous Nintendo hand-helds, Nintendo 3DS now also includes a Circle Pad, which provides a full 360 degrees of direction, giving it the freedom and precision needed to play games in 3D worlds. It brings the same degree of responsiveness that gamers enjoyed when Nintendo introduced an analog control stick to navigate Mario™ through Super Mario 64™ on the Nintendo 64™ system.

Sound: Stereo speakers positioned to the left and right of the top screen (supports virtual surround sound).

Stylus: Telescoping stylus (approximately 3.94 inches when fully extended).

Nintendo 3DS in 2021

Still life: “Sewn Nintendo 3DS LL and so far the only cartridge in my collection”

21 402
views

Ahoy, filibusters. In this article, I decided to tell you about those games that, in my opinion, are worth buying 3ds for yourself. This is not some personal top bestseller, but just a list of games that are interesting to me personally. Also, this list can help those who are thinking about acquiring this curious device, but do not know why exactly. Or for those who have heard something about hits and classics, but with Nintendo so far on “you”. First, it’s probably worth mentioning console revisions, because there were quite a few of them.

Revisions

It is easy for an ignorant person to get confused in them. I personally saw on YouTube the history of Nintendo portable consoles from some kind of supermind, so he went in chronological order first Nintendo DS, then 2DS, and then he got to 3DS. I’ll start in order.

1) Nintendo 3DS. For clarity, they call it Old 3DS, it was released in 2011.

2) Nintendo 3DS XL (LL in Japan) – the same old 3DS, but with larger dimensions. There is still no second stick and NFC module, you need to buy it separately. I have this exact model.

3) Nintendo 2DS. Cheaper version without 3d effect. The only revision that has the form of a monoblock. Despite the fact that only the lazy didn’t eat over this shovel, such a design has the right to exist as a console for young children.

4) New Nintendo 3DS and New Nintendo 3DS XL are significantly improved versions of oldies. There are additional ZL and ZR buttons, a second stick and a built-in NFC module for Amiibo figures. They also turned out to be more powerful than their older brothers, which is why games appeared that are compatible only with new models.

5) New Nintendo 2DS XL. The latest revision of the 3DS family. The same as New N3DS XL, but without the 3D effect, which made it possible to reduce the cost.

Is the 3D effect worth paying extra for? Well, it has its advantages, namely:

Generation of 3D images by the console itself without any additional accessories such as glasses.

Quite believable 3d. Some games are much easier to play with.

Ability to turn the effect on and off at any time.

But there were also disadvantages:

Eyes need some getting used to.

You need to look at the 3D picture at the right angle, otherwise the effect is lost.

This infection quickly drains the battery.

Is this a gimmick or a killer feature? Decide for yourself. Well, now let’s move on to the games.

Super Mario 3D Land

I’ll start with the titles of Nintendo itself. Before us is Super Mario 3D Land – the younger brother of Super Mario 3D World on WiiU. A high-quality, bright, colorful, sometimes shitty platformer, especially on super-worlds. It will be a good experience for those who played mario only on a dandy in their early childhood.

New Super Mario Bros 2

Representative of the New SMB line, second part. If those who criticize Nintendo for churning out the same Mario games over and over knew what they were talking about, they would cite the New SMB series as an argument, where there were very few changes from part to part. And yet, this is quite a suitable 2.5d platformer with polished mechanics.

The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds

Top-down classic Zelda with a heavy focus on exploration and puzzle-solving, the sequel to A Link to the Past. The evil sorcerer of the South is obsessed with beauty and turns princesses he likes into paintings for his personal collection. He also turns into a picture of Link, who got in his way, but Link, using Princess Zelda’s bracelet, can travel between two-dimensional and three-dimensional worlds, which is what most of the puzzles in this game are based on. From the innovations – Link has a special scale of energy spent on turning into a picture and using auxiliary items. Also, most of the items can be obtained at the very beginning of the game, but these items can only be rented. After death, they will have to be rented again, which somewhat knocks down the ardor. In short, the game is crazy, I can’t wait for the cartridge to arrive.

On the 3DS, by the way, there was some anomalous amount of zeldas, even more than mario games – Ocarina of Time and Majora’s Mask ported from N64, Hyrule Warriors Legends musou and cooperative Tri Force Heroes. The expanse is straight.

Mario Kart 7

Legendary kart racing. The mechanics is simple to disgrace – choose the character you like, put it in a tarantass and go to the track – catch bonuses and put tricks on other such illegal racers. There is nothing more pleasant than to load a kupa shell right in the ass of the finalist, who is already scratching to the finish line, anticipating victory. Mario Kart 7 reveals itself when playing online, which can be difficult in the current difficult time for the 3DS, but you can kill yourself on local. To do this, you just need two consoles, two copies of the game and one more friend bombing nearby. But that won’t stop you, will it?

Metroid Samus Returns

A remake of the second part of the Metroid series, which was released on the very first Game Boy. Here, the brave bounty hunter Samus Aran, realizing the danger posed by the metroids, goes to the planet SR388 to completely exterminate these mysterious creatures. On the planet itself, Samus finds suspiciously familiar technologies from the vanished Chozo race (these are bird-like creatures that sheltered little Samus when she was orphaned. Her yellow suit is their job, such business).

Overall, this is not the best metroid of the licensed parts, but it is definitely a worthwhile game for the Nintendo 3DS. I recommend looking at the review of Rusyaich, he laid out everything in detail there.

Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS

The famous skit fighting game featuring well-known Nintendo and not only characters. In what other game is it possible, playing as Pac-Man, to clean the snout of Sonic, Bowser or Captain Falcon? In another SSB, yes, that’s right. The mechanics of the brawler is reminiscent of a sumo match – the main task is not to beat the enemy to a pulp, but to throw him out of the arena to hell. No violence, nudity and dismemberment – just pure unfiltered fun.

Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker

The same game where without 3d it will be hard. We play as Toad – Mario’s old sidekick. Just like the Italian plumber, Toad has to go on an epic journey to save his girlfriend Toadette… and it consists of solving isometric puzzles. In general, such puzzles were found in Super Mario 3D World and 3D Land, but infrequently, here the whole game is built on them. And this is one of the best puzzle games on the platform.

Resident Evil: Revelations

“Why are you giving me some childish bullshit, I want blood, swearing, murder and naked boobs!” – Okay, big guy, you heard. Released in 2012, Revelations remained a very serious reason to buy a console for another year. Then, of course, a port to all current platforms and all that. Probably in vain I bought it at one time and went on the PC, because it looks great on 3DS Revelations. Where soapy textures, small locations and long reloads are visible on PC and HD consoles, you don’t notice anything on the portable. In general, I thought that I would suffer without a second stick, but the game is quite passable without it. There is a quick 180-degree turn, grenades, the ability to walk while aiming (which can still be switched to a first or third person view), in short – complete stuffing. If you were looking for a game that would squeeze all the juice out of a not very powerful 3DS, then here it is.

Bonus point for staring at Jill’s sandwich in 3d.

Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D

In general, this is the “Mercenaries” mode from the original parts of Biohazard, released on a separate cartridge. For those who are not in the know, this is a mode that usually opens after beating the game. We choose a character, weapons, skills, go from point A to point B, kill everything that moves and all this for a while. Very short, repetitive and lopsided, but a hell of a fun mode. Especially for those who, for some reason, get high from the combat of biohazards of the 4-5 part sample. Cartridge number 3 in my collection.

Ridge Racer 3D

So arcade racing rolled up. High speed, wild drive on the track, and most importantly – a good drift. One thing is bad – Eurobeat was not brought into the game. Although, I kind of saw on reddit some kind of mod on this topic …

Heroes of Ruin

The only representative of the diablo-like action rpg on the console. For those familiar with the genre, there is no need to explain anything – we swing, collect loot, bring down monsters, complete quests. All collected loot can be sold in exchange for gold directly from the backpack, even in the middle of the battle, which looks strange, but convenient. The camera behaves a little unusual – it is not static and rotates depending on the character’s movement around the location. The game is damn rare – I never found it for sale for sane money.

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow – Mirror of Fate

Part of the Lords of Shadow series and plot bridge between the first and second parts. You can play without knowing the lore of these games, since the game has all the exposition necessary to understand the plot.

Combat is easy to learn, bosses are simple, puzzles make you think and move at the same time. The plot here is quite dramatic, despite the slightly crap cel-shading cutscenes. They let you steer as many as three characters (Gabriel Belmont does not count, he was only in the prologue), but what is especially nice is that the progress is not reset when changing the hero at the end of each act, i.e. no need to download them again.

The game came out in the spring of 2013, and in the fall of that year it moved to HD consoles and then PC, so it doesn’t make much sense to buy it on the 3DS. But the game is still cool and worth playing on the piece of iron for which it was developed.

Afterword

Well, that’s probably all I wanted to tell you about the 3DS. There are other games that I haven’t played that look interesting – Luigi’s Mansion 2, Kid Icarus Uprising, Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D, Batman Arkham Origins: Blackgate and others. But I haven’t gotten to them yet, so maybe there will be material for the next article.

Thank you.

P.S.: screenshots are already in low resolution, and then dtf jackals them for some reason.

The Best All-in-One Computers for 2023

Your 15-inch laptop display is feeling cramped, and you work in one place mostly. For about the same money that you would spend on a midrange-to-high-end 17-inch laptop (or more likely, less), you can get an all-in-one (AIO) computer with a 23-inch or larger display.

Of course, buying a highly integrated system like this is more exacting than your average desktop. Why? You’re buying a computer and a monitor in one, and the inherent limits on what you’ll be able to upgrade down the line make smart buying upfront crucial. Indeed, landing the right AIO is more like shopping for a laptop than a desktop.

We’ve outlined below our top picks among AIO desktops we’ve tested for 2023. Read on for our lab-tested favorites, followed by the buying basics you should know when purchasing an AIO. Also note: At the end of this article is a detailed spec breakout, in handy chart format, of our top choices.

Why We Picked It

We can confidently say the Lenovo IdeaCentre AIO 5i is the best all-in-one desktop right now for most of you. It doesn’t specialize in any one area, but this AIO meets the needs of the average user. Its roomy 27-inch 1440p screen replaces a traditional monitor with ease, and it features a now all-important built-in 1080p webcam. The performance isn’t going to set any records, but it’s impressive for the price.

Lenovo IdeaCentre AIO 5i Review

HP Envy 34 All-in-One (2022)

Best Premium All-in-One Windows Desktop

4. 5 Outstanding

Why We Picked It

HP’s Envy 34 is one of the classiest showpieces in the all-in-one (AIO) arena. Its centerpiece is a gorgeous 34-inch widescreen display with 5K resolution that boosts your productivity by letting you arrange app windows to mimic a dual-monitor setup. HP’s minimal stand belies this AIO’s ample power, including Thunderbolt 4 ports and easily upgraded memory and storage. (Like all AIO desktops, it’s not a fire-breathing gaming rig, though mobile-grade Nvidia GeForce GPUs are available.)

Who It’s For

This handsome AIO is especially suited for conference calls, with a 16-megapixel magnetic webcam that can be placed anywhere around its frame for your most flattering angle. But, if you have the desk space (it’s 32 inches side to side), it’s an ideal option for any multitasking environment.

PROS

Sharp, snazzy 34-inch 5K display

Strong all-around performance

High-quality 16-megapixel magnetic camera

Thunderbolt 4

SD card reader

Easy access to RAM and M. 2 SSD slots

CONS

HP Envy 34 All-in-One (2022) Review

Apple iMac 24-Inch

Best Overall Mac All-in-One Desktop

4.0 Excellent

Why We Picked It

Shades of the 1990s gumdrop iMac can still be seen in today’s 24-inch iMac. Apple’s current iMac comes in seven lively colors from yellow to purple (with a matching mouse and keyboard in each box), so one is sure to fit the decor of any room in your abode. But it’s not just a pretty face: Apple’s M1 chip gives the iMac peppy performance, while the 4.5K Retina display and webcam are first-class. For icing on the cake, macOS’s integration with your iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch is unparalleled.

Who It’s For

Its ultra-thin flat panel makes the iMac the most fashionable all-in-one you can buy as well as a top choice for students or home-office entrepreneurs using the Apple ecosystem. Like most Apple wares, it’s not cheap (starting at $1,299 with a skimpy 256GB of storage), but it remains an iconic home computer.

PROS

A perky reimagining of the classic iMac design

Color-matched accessories

Extraordinarily thin

Available fingerprint reader

Snappy Apple M1 processor

Excellent camera quality

CONS

Expensive as configured, and for screen size

Requires external power brick

Uncomfortable keyboard

No touch input on screen

Limited port selection

Apple iMac 24-Inch Review

Lenovo IdeaCentre AIO 3i

Best Basic Budget All-in-One Desktop

4.0 Excellent

Why We Picked It

An AIO for only $599 (as tested) with a generous 16GB of RAM and 1TB solid-state drive (SSD)? Naturally, you’ll find a catch—its Pentium Gold CPU delivers only modest performance for everyday apps—but Lenovo’s 22-inch ideaCentre AIO 3i is nevertheless a sincere value. The 1080p display isn’t large enough for some tastes. However, this AIO looks as well as it can for the price, with slim bezels and even a niche in the stand to stash your mouse, keys, or small office supplies. Our configuration even included a DVD drive as well as a wireless keyboard and mouse.

Who It’s For

A faster processor and the addition of USB-C ports would make the IdeaCentre more appealing, but would likely see it leave budget pricing. Lenovo’s included mouse, keyboard, and speakers are all better than you might expect, and you’ll find a wide-enough array of HDMI, Ethernet, and USB-A ports. If you’re outfitting a den or family room on a budget, the little Lenovo is an excellent affordable homework station and online kiosk (and DVD movie viewing station to boot).

PROS

Solid screen for the money

Bundled mouse and keyboard

Decent speakers

Plenty of ports

CONS

No USB-C ports

Lackluster CPU performance

Lenovo IdeaCentre AIO 3i Review

Acer Aspire C24-1700 AIO

A Solid Alternative to the Lenovo IdeaCentre AIO 3i

3. 5 Good

Why We Picked It

At first or even second glance, the Acer Aspire C24-1700 looks like just a 24-inch monitor. However, this screen hides away an Intel Core i3 CPU, 8GB of RAM, and a 512GB SSD in the back. Couple that with an included wireless keyboard and mouse in the box, and you have a capable, if no-frills, home PC. All the ports, save one USB Type-A, are inconveniently placed at the rear, and its all-plastic construction isn’t glamorous, but this Acer is ready to serve for routine productivity, web surfing, and streaming entertainment.

Who It’s For

Though its screen is slightly larger, the Aspire C24 costs a bit more, landing just behind Lenovo’s IdeaCentre AIO 3i in our Editors’ Choice competition. Regardless, that shouldn’t deter you from checking it out if you’re looking for an affordable everyday desktop.

PROS

Wireless keyboard and mouse included

Physical webcam privacy shutter

USB-C port

CONS

Dim screen

Low-appeal, all-plastic build

Ports are tricky to access

Dell OptiPlex 5490 All-in-One

Best All-in-One Desktop for Business

3. 5 Good

Why We Picked It

Dell’s OptiPlex business PCs deliver superior build quality to its Inspiron consumer models. Additionally, the OptiPlex 5490 AIO demonstrates this with its highly ergonomic, adjustable (if slightly dim) display as well as a three-year warranty. This 24-inch system pumps out admirable productivity performance, helped by a true desktop processor instead of most AIOs’ mobile-class chips. However, this business AIO relies on Intel integrated graphics with no discrete GPU available—you don’t play games at work, right?

Who It’s For

Like the screen, the Dell’s webcam operates at full HD (1080p) resolution; it also lets you take advantage of face recognition to bypass passwords with Windows Hello. Most businesses favor traditional minitower or small-form-factor desktops because the computer and monitor can have separate lifespans, but offices choosing the AIO route will be thoroughly satisfied with the OptiPlex 5490.

PROS

Flexible stand

Desktop-class CPU delivers decent performance

Full HD webcam with Windows Hello

Three-year warranty comes standard

CONS

Dim display

Limited customization options

Traditional tower PCs offer better value

Dell OptiPlex 5490 All-in-One Review

HP Chromebase All-in-One 22

Best ChromeOS All-in-One Desktop

4. 0 Excellent

Why We Picked It

A Chromebook that’s a desktop? HP’s Chromebase All-in-One 22 has the usual attractions of a ChromeOS laptop: a low (under $500) price, seamless upgrades and malware protection, and super-simple operation for mostly online tasks. Those functions include web surfing, email, streaming video and audio, and productivity with Google Workspace (nee Google Docs) or the browser-based Microsoft 365. This is a space-saving, 22-inch desktop with a screen that rotates between landscape (horizontal) and portrait (vertical) modes to let you see more of a document or webpage at once.

Who It’s For

Complete with a wireless mouse and keyboard, a crisp 5-megapixel webcam, and surprisingly effective stereo speakers, the Chromebase 22 is a splendid home PC if you can do your computing in the cloud and don’t need high-end apps, like Adobe Photoshop. It’s especially suited for students who use school-supplied Chromebooks during the day, and so they’ll already be used to the interface.

PROS

Attractive, space-saving design

Rotating display useful for some websites

High-res webcam

Booming audio

Includes wireless keyboard and mouse

Affordable as configured

CONS

Display isn’t the sharpest

Occasional screen-rotation hitches

No side-mounted ports

HP Chromebase All-in-One 22 Review

Buying Guide: The Best All-in-One Computers for 2023

So, you just started shopping for an AIO. The first thing to look at (no pun intended) is the display—the centerpiece of any AIO. While some less-expensive AIO PCs will come with panels smaller than 23 inches, those are better suited to exceedingly cramped spaces such as classroom labs or dorm rooms. (Go much smaller than that, and you might as well just buy a big-screen laptop.) What you really want is a display at least 23 inches on the diagonal—and larger is better if you can do it. The biggest all-in-ones we’ve seen to date have curved 34-inch screens.

With a screen 23 inches or larger, you’re almost guaranteed a native resolution of at least 1,920 by 1,080 pixels (aka, full HD), and larger screens will go even higher. In many cases, that’s up to 4K—3,840 by 2,160 pixels—for a conventionally shaped screen or 3,440 by 1,440 pixels on an ultra-wide display. High resolutions of that kind give you the ability to view multiple windows side by side or view a spreadsheet three to four pages wide. Indeed, if you’re a multitasker, the more screen room, the better.

Though it’s not a concern to those with 20/10 vision, a larger screen and a higher native resolution will let you increase the font size on your Word documents or Excel spreadsheets while still keeping a lot of information on the screen at one time. Desktop screens tend to be brighter than laptop displays in general, as well. Look for in-plane switching (IPS) technology for the best screen quality. IPS screens are inherently better at off-axis viewing, which means you won’t have to be sitting perfectly centered to see accurate colors and all the detail in your images.

To touch-screen or not to touch-screen—that is a question of personal preference. The tiled Start interface in Windows 10 was designed with touch panels in mind, and it makes interacting with your various applications as easy as ever. Although these can be fun and functional for families, a touch screen isn’t 100% necessary for everyone, especially if you plan to use the all-in-one like a traditional computer. If you’re looking at an Apple iMac all-in-one, on the other hand, the decision is made for you: macOS doesn’t take advantage of touch screens, and no Macs offer them.

Don’t fret either way. Scrolling with a mouse or a touchpad will still be as quick as or quicker than on a touch screen, because, with an AIO, you have to reach up to the screen, taking a hand off the keyboard or mouse. Selecting text for copying and pasting is easier with a mouse, too. If you fill out forms online and switch among text-entry boxes, pull-down menus, and checkboxes, you’ll be able to enter data more quickly with a keyboard and mouse.

If you’re planning on using the touch screen at least 50% of the time, look for systems with screens that can recline down to horizontal, or almost horizontal. This lets you use the system like a large tablet, so you don’t have to hold your arm out constantly to use the touch screen. Think about using an ATM: The vertical screen is fine for a 90-second transaction, but it would become tiring after 10 minutes or more. It comes down to simple ergonomics.

Speaking of vertical orientation, the occasional AIO will come with a stand that lets you pivot the screen into a portrait orientation. Portrait mode lets you view content such as webpages and appropriately shaped pictures without wasting space on the sides of the screen. It’s a boon for web developers, as well as layout artists still working on print publications. If portrait mode is something you’d be interested in, make sure the system features auto-rotate; without it, you’ll need to switch display settings every time you pivot the display. Portrait pivoting is far more common in stand-alone desktop monitors than in AIOs, though.

AIO Basics, Part One: The Core Components

PC manufacturers are generally slower to update AIOs than their other offerings, so many of the units here are running older processor generations like Intel’s 10th Generation (“Coffee Lake”) and 11th Generation (“Tiger Lake” mobile or “Rocket Lake” desktop-grade) chips. More systems are adopting last year’s Intel 12th Generation (“Alder Lake”) processors, and new desktops will start running 13th Generation (“Raptor Lake”) chips, but most have so far stuck with older Intel chips or AMD alternatives for price and power draw considerations. Any modern processor will help with editing photos or videos or running intensive media processes in the background while you work on several tasks in the foreground.

AMD’s Ryzen chips have appeared in a few all-in-ones, in the form of Ryzen 5 and lower-powered Ryzen 3 processors. Some of our past top picks have been Ryzen models, and the company’s chips are turning up in highly regarded powerful laptops. But in general, Intel CPUs dominate the AIO PC market. Meanwhile, among Macs, Apple’s newest AIO, the 24-inch iMac based on the Apple M1 processor, is the harbinger of where things are likely going for the iconic iMac.

When looking at and comparing CPUs in AIO PCs, a key distinction to work out is whether the AIO uses a full-desktop CPU or a mobile one. All else being equal, a full-desktop chip is preferable. How to tell: Mobile chips from the likes of Intel (as mentioned, most desktop AIOs will use Intel chips, as opposed to ones from rival AMD) will have “U”, “Gx” (where “x” is a number), “H,” or “HQ” appended to the end of the chip model number. A desktop CPU will have no letter at the end, or perhaps “K” or “T.”

An 8GB helping of DDR4 RAM should be the minimum amount of system memory you settle for. (We’ve only seen a few 12th Generation Intel CPU-based AIOs so far, but some will eventually support the newer DDR5 memory standard.) Although 4GB will work fine for the most basic tasks, you’ll feel the pinch of such a low-spec computer sooner. Having 8GB or 16GB will let you keep dozens of tabs open on your browser and still have room left over for a demanding program such as Photoshop. Plus, 16GB is the recommended minimum for professional content-creation use.

AIO Basics, Part Two: Storage and Ports

As far as storage, look for a boot drive of at least 1TB capacity if you’re going to store any video on your PC. Videos clog up hard drives faster than just about any other type of file. If you’re a heavy download fiend, opt for a 2TB drive. The only issue is that a traditional spinning hard drive is relatively slow at booting and loading apps. If you’d rather have a snappier system that’s more speed demon than a file-storage repository, look for an AIO that uses a solid-state drive (SSD) as the boot drive. (Most now do.) If you keep all your files on a central network-attached storage (NAS) device or stored in the cloud, just about any SSD or hard drive 500GB or larger should be sufficient. That’s enough for the operating system and a handful of frequently used programs.

You can have the best of both worlds with an all-in-one PC that boots from an SSD but has an additional spinning hard drive for storage. In that case, look for at least a 256GB SSD boot drive and 1TB of supplemental hard drive storage if you’re a power user. You’ll need more storage (2TB to 4TB) if you plan on keeping your entire video, music, and photo collection on your AIO.

Adding an extra terabyte or so is also easy with an external drive. SSDs cost more per gigabyte than regular spinning hard drives, but SSDs boot up and wake from sleep so much faster than regular drives that we highly recommend them as boot drives. Unfortunately, some AIO PCs are hard or impossible to upgrade yourself, so make sure you get what you need at the start.

Because an all-in-one is, at its heart, a computer, it should have all the ports you expect to need during your day-to-day activities, particularly USB ports (in easy-to-access places, if at all possible). You may also want a dedicated Ethernet port, though all-in-ones today come with Wi-Fi support built-in, so you can easily hook up the system to the wireless network you already have in your home or office.

Also handy is an HDMI input port, which gives you the flexibility to use the AIO as a discrete display for a separate PC, a game console, or another video source. It also gives an AIO with a sharp display some potential utility years down the road as a stand-alone monitor, when the PC portion inside becomes obsolete.

The Pros of AIOs…

Even if you find a 17-inch-screened laptop you like, you’ll need a strong back to carry it anywhere; 6 pounds and up, plus an AC adapter, is the norm for machines like these. So we suspect you won’t travel with a 17-inch machine all that much, making even a small-screen AIO a viable stay-at-home alternative. And because AIO desktops are plugged in, you won’t ever run out of battery power, even when you leave your system in sleep mode for weeks.

Because AIOs tend to use more powerful processors than laptops do, all-in-one PCs will execute CPU-intensive tasks more rapidly, on the whole. Some 3D games will run better, too, thanks to the discrete graphics chips in some A-grade AIO PCs. To find AIOs with discrete chips, look for graphics solutions dubbed GeForce GTX or RTX, or Radeon RX, as opposed to Intel Iris Xe, UHD, or HD Graphics, or AMD Radeon (no “RX”) integrated graphics.

Other advantages? You can share the PC among the members of a family, and use it to store centrally accessible photos, music, and videos. And a large, widescreen AIO PC makes for a fine videoconferencing system. Rather than having the family crowd around your iPad or a little laptop screen, seat them in front of a 27- or 34-inch AIO desktop so you’re not subconsciously squeezing together to “fit on the screen.” Plus, a large AIO screen is ideal for watching a movie from 5 or 6 feet away, so a couple in, say, a studio apartment could use a big-screen AIO as a TV in front of a small sofa or loveseat. Or, if you place the system in a central location, such as your kitchen counter, you can monitor your children when they’re online.

But these PCs aren’t just suitable for play. A few years back, Apple brought the AIO further into workstation territory with the iMac Pro. The starting price for this monster machine at launch was high at $5,000, but it packed a jaw-dropping amount of muscle: It has a 27-inch 5K screen and is configurable with up to an 18-core processor, 128GB of memory, and 4TB of solid-state storage. (Note that it is still for sale at this writing from non-Apple sources, often used or as a refurbished model, but as of March 2021, Apple discontinued the iMac Pro. ) In most cases, this kind of muscle is found only in elite-grade tower PCs, but the best AIOs can rival a high-end desktop.

…and the Cons

Because they have bigger screens, AIO PCs are physically larger than laptops. Of course, you give up the ability to easily move them from room to room, but AIOs are still more portable than tower PCs. All-in-one PCs don’t have the expandability that you’re going to find in most towers, but they do tend to have better looks.

Regardless, towers are still better than all-in-one PCs when you need to do intensive work like CAD/CAM or scientific data processing, and most of them are expandable in ways far beyond even the most upgrade-generous AIO on the market. PC gamers, especially, will get much more value out of a stand-alone tower in which they can swap out a graphics card than in a fixed-config AIO PC.

What Is the Best All-in-One Computer to Buy?

The next time you’re online and thinking that you really need a bigger screen than the one on your current laptop or tablet, take a look at an all-in-one desktop. You may be surprised how much screen, and how much power, they deliver for the money versus a like-priced laptop.

Also, be sure to check out our top desktop picks overall, as well as our favorite desktops for work and for PC gaming. Below, though, are the top AIOs that have passed through our labs of late.

For everything from school art supplies to calculators, binders, school backpacks, lunch boxes and more, we’ve got what your students need to succeed.

Take a seat
Whether you’re working from home or outfitting a space for gaming, your comfort is dependent on finding the best chair. At Staples, we provide a broad range of office chairs and seating, so you can find the right fit for you. Select from multifunctional task chairs, computer & desk chairs, drafting stools and more. If you will be using your new chair for multiple hours a day, make sure to get an ergonomic office chair to prevent unnecessary strain.

Comfort, all day long

Office furniture that is the proper size and height makes a big difference. When shopping for chairs, the height of the seat should be adjustable so that the user’s feet can sit flat on the floor with their knees at right angles. Likewise, the accompanying office desk should be at a height where the users’ elbows can sit comfortably at right angles at their sides while typing or writing. Browse our selection to find the combination that’s right for you. If size if a concern, check out our big & tall chairs which can support up to 500lbs.

Game on

If you’re a gamer, you know that a single gaming session can last all day or night. For the best and most comfortable gaming setup, Staples has gaming chairs in colors and styles for everyone. Make sure to match your new chair to an ergonomic gaming desk, the perfect complement for the high-tech gaming computer and accessories you’ve invested in.

Show seasonal allergies who’s boss
If you suffer from seasonal allergies, now is when they are at their worst. Stock up on allergy season’s most important products to keep your home, classroom, and office allergen-free. Start with an air purifier to strip the air of allergens like pollen and pet dander and replace existing air filters for improved air quality. Frequently dust, wipe down hard surfaces, and vacuum carpets and furniture to help eliminate pollen tracked in from outside and dander left behind by pets. When leaving the house, check the pollen count and bring a face mask to help filter the air you breath outside.

No matter what you do, it’s unlikely that the symptoms of seasonal allergies can be avoided entirely. Make sure to have over-the-counter cold and allergy medications on hand to battle symptoms, and stock up on facial tissues so you’ll always have one available when you need them.

Spring (Cleaning) is in the air
Spring cleaning and decluttering is a tradition meant to refresh our spaces for the year ahead. Staples has everything you need to clear out the clutter, store and organize your belongings, and all the right cleaning supplies.

Clear out the clutter

Start by preparing a checklist and make sure you have all the necessary supplies. Use storage bins and a label maker to make sorting and organizing easier. Prepare extra boxes for donations and trash bags for the things you no longer need. Look for decorative boxes & baskets that will compliment your home’s décor and use them to organize. You can also use closet organizers and storage drawers anywhere they are needed.

Start with the basics

An all-purpose cleaner, cleaning brush and microfiber cloths will clean most surfaces. Use a duster to remove unwanted dirt and furniture polish to revitalize wood surfaces. Upgrade your broom, dustpan, wet mop, and vacuum to make cleaning any type of flooring a breeze.

The nitty gritty

Spring cleaning doesn’t stop there. There’s so much you can do to reset your home:

Improve air quality and eliminate pollen and pet dander with a new air purifier and an air freshener with a scent you love.

On a sunny day, take the opportunity to clean your windows – you’ll need glass cleaner, a bucket, a squeegee, and paper towels.

Have a step stool or ladder on hand to access hard-to-reach places like the tops of cabinets and overhead lighting.

Replace broken light bulbs and check the batteries in your smoke detectors.

Use drain cleaner to clear up sink and bathtub drains.

Up your printing game with a Supertank Printer
Looking for a printer with more print capacity that’s better for the environment and your wallet? Shop Staples selection of Supertank Printers for all the benefits of an inkjet printer with the convenience and savings of replacement ink bottles that last longer and cost less per page than standard inkjet printer cartridges.

Find a Supertank printer from your favorite top printer brand including:

HP Smart Tank & Neverstop Printers

Brother INKVestment Tank Printers

Canon MegaTank Printers

Epson EcoTank Printers

And don’t forget to browse Staples Ink and Toner Finder to find the right replacement ink for your new printer. No matter what printer you have, enter the brand, cartridge or printer model into the easy-to-use Ink and Toner Finder, and browse for compatible ink.

Rest assured it arrives safely & securely
Whether you are sending business documents or customer products, shipping and mailroom supplies from Staples make the process seamless.

Keep packing supplies ready for easy shipping. Padded envelopes and bubble mailers are perfect for shipping small, non-fragile items. Pack larger items in shipping boxes that are slightly larger than the item, and use packing peanuts, bubble roll, or other packing materials to keep objects from moving in the box during transport. Choose the right packing tape to ensure your packages will stay sealed. Staples carries clear acrylic packing tape for everyday shipping and reinforced or water activated tape for packages that require a heavier duty seal.

I can’t remember how many iterations of the Alienware Aurora have come through our lab with a paltry 120mm watercooler. Clearly, someone at Alienware has heard our complaints, because the Alienware Aurora R15 ($1,799.99 to start, $4,929.99 as tested) has finally moved to a 240mm cooler, with five fans total in the chassis and more ventilation for fresh air to come in.

Our review unit is an eye-watering $4,929.99, with an Intel Core i9-13900K, Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 and 64GB of DDR5 RAM, and, spoiler alert, it performed outstandingly well in some benchmarks, beating out some of the best gaming PCs.

While veteran PC builders will have rightful bones to pick with some of Alienware’s proprietary parts (the motherboard, especially), for those who want to buy something powerful and are into the Alienware aesthetic, the Aurora R15 is a good choice.

Alienware Aurora R15 (8GB) at Dell for $1,649.99

The Alienware “Legend” design language hasn’t changed since we saw last year’s Aurora R13: a plastic, spaceship inspired design with a touch of robotics. It’s a rounded design wrapped around a boxy steel chassis. We tested it in white (Alienware calls it “lunar light”), which adds a $30 price premium over the default black “dark side of the moon.”

The case’s front kind of looks like a futuristic Dyson vacuum cleaner. It has plenty of ports on the front, partially because of Dell’s continued use of a proprietary motherboard that juts out to the front of the case. These ports are useful — I didn’t have to dig around to the back of the chassis to plug in some peripherals — but this reduces upgradeability (more on that shortly).

The biggest difference is that on the Aurora R15, Alienware has added a vent to its side panel to allow more cool air in. It’s in a hexagonal shape, just like on many of Alienware’s laptops.

(Image credit: Tom’s Hardware)

Additionally, Alienware has finally improved its all-in-one water coolers. It’s gone up to a 240mm radiator, rather than the previous 120mm unit , which didn’t make sense for high-end processors, both in gaming and productivity tasks. There are five 120mm fans total in the system: two at the front, one at the rear, and the two attached at the radiator. This Aurora R15 is cooler than previous versions of the desktop I reviewed, even when put through our stress tests. I’m not going to tell you that it’s pin drop quiet, but it’s an improvement.

There’s RGB lighting around the front of the PC, and you can also adjust colors inside using Alienware Command Center.

Ports and Upgradeability on the Alienware Aurora R15

With Alienware’s proprietary motherboard, there’s a protrusion that nets three USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports, a USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C port and a 3. 5 mm headphone jack on the front of the system. That’s extremely useful for those who are often attaching storage devices or peripherals for temporary use, but it also prevents major motherboard updates down the line. If you need more, easily-accessible ports you can always opt for one of the best USB hubs.

(Image credit: Tom’s Hardware)

While I imagine that most people who buy a prebuilt Alienware don’t intend on upgrading the motherboard, it should be an option. If you get into the hobby, being able to upgrade without building an entire new PC would be a massive value-add. That being said, Alienware has made some motherboard upgrades here, including 12-phase CPU voltage regulation and moving the PCI slot to accommodate three-slot graphics cards.

(Image credit: Tom’s Hardware)

The back of the motherboard boasts several rear audio ports, USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C in both 10 Gbps and 20 Gbps speeds, and two USB 2.0 Type-A ports. You’ll plug your monitor into the GPU, either HDMI or one of the three DisplayPorts.

The 1,350-watt, 80 Plus Platinum power supply (750 watts on some models) isn’t the ATX standard you find in most mid-towers. Alioenware parent company Dell is using a PSU meant for servers, so that’s another area that’s not easy to upgrade (It’s not impossible – there are some instructions printed under the side panel). Alienware moving to the 240mm radiator is a big win for gamers, but the company needs to do what its competitors have done and adopt fully standardized parts If HP can do it, there isn’t an excuse for Alienware not to.

That’s not to say there are no upgrades to make. You can access the two RAM slots, the Wi-Fi cards, as well as the SSD and the HDD. On our review unit, there’s a slot for a second M.2 SSD, though I wish Alienware had filled that instead of continuing to use spinning drives at all.

You could also change out the GPU and the CPU, though in our review model with top-of-the-line specs, there’s no need at the moment.

To open the system’s side-panel, you need to pull a lever on the top of the system. It falls open, and then you can remove it from the chassis. The first time you do this, there’s a screw to loosen to prevent any movement in shipping.

Removing the right-side panel involves “knocking” (that’s a quote from the service manual) on it to knock it off the chassis. Hey, at least it’s tool-free. The rear cable management is pretty tied up. If you make changes, you’ll be cutting some cable ties, but you’d do that in your own PC, too.

The 16-pin power cable for the RTX 4090 isn’t using any adapters. Alienware has a bundle of cables (it would be nice if they were sleeved) that go straight to the PSU.

Gaming and Graphics on the Alienware Aurora R15

Our review unit came decked out with the most powerful components Alienware offers: an Intel Core i9-13900K and an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090. So we expected to see some pretty massive increases over previous-gen desktops.

I figured the RTX 4090 and the Core i9 should handle anything I threw at it, so I maxed out Control on its highest settings at 4K, with the highest ray tracing options. The Aurora played the game with aplomb, often running between 70 and 75 frames per second. In a few intense battles, it dropped down as far as the 60-fps range. But top-quality settings above 60 fps at 4K? Yeah, this thing’s a monster.

On the Shadow of the Tomb Raider benchmark (highest settings), the Aurora R15 ran the game at 254 fps at 1080p and 129 fps in 4K. The MSI Infinite RS 13th, another high-end prebuilt with the same CPU and GPU, was within a frame. We’re using the HP Omen 45L, which packs an Intel Core i9-12900K and RTX 3090 to demonstrate generational performance differences; it hit 163 fps at 1080p and 63 fps at 4K.

The newer parts made less of a difference in Grand Theft Auto V (very high settings). Both the Alienware and MSI tied at 186 fps at 1080p and 82 fps at 4K. The last-gen Omen hit 176 fps at 1080p and 65 fps in 4K.

Interestingly, the newer hardware didn’t run as well on Far Cry 6 (ultra). The Alienware Aurora (127 fps at 1080p, 112 fps at 4K) and the MSI Infinite (120 fps at 1080p, 105 fps at 4K), were both behind the Omen 45L in 1080p tests, though they outperformed in 4K. Perhaps this game isn’t fully optimized for the latest hardware yet?

In addition to running Red Dead Redemption 2 on medium settings, we also pumped it up to ultra to see what the RTX 4090 can do. The Alienware hit 109 fps at FHD and 36 fps on ultra (the MSI was within a frame), and 188 fps at 1080p and 80 fps on medium. These are big increases over the last-gen Omen at 121 fps on medium at 1080p and 53 fps at 4K.

On Borderlands 3‘s “badass” preset, the Aurora R15 reached 263 fps at 1080p and 128 fps at 4K. It won by a few frames at 1080p, but was effectively tied with the MSI Infinite at 4K. The Omen hit 128 fps at 1080p and 67 fps at 4K, showing a pretty big generational leap here.

To stress test systems, we run Metro Exodus on the RTX preset at 1080p for 15 runs, which typically lasts about half an hour. The Aurora cut through it like butter, running the game at an average of 117.65 fps (down, only slightly, from the initial run’s 118 fps). During this test, the CPU’s performance cores ran at an average of 4.94 GHz, while the efficiency cores reached 3.83 GHz. The CPU package ran at 69.29 degrees Celsius. Meanwhile, the GPU ran at 2,066.9 MHz and 59.38 degrees Celsius.

Productivity Performance on the Alienware Aurora R15

With a Core i9-13900K and 64GB of DDR5 RAM in the system, I expected some strong productivity performance, especially now that Alienware has moved to better cooling.

Image 1 of 3

(Image credit: Tom’s Hardware)(Image credit: Tom’s Hardware)(Image credit: Tom’s Hardware)

On Geekbench 5, the Aurora earned a single-core score of 2,176 and a multi-core score of 22,813. The MSI Infinite RS 13th, with the same CPU, but 32GB of RAM, won by one point in single-core and did even better in multi-core (23,752). The HP Omen 45L running last gen’s Core i9-12900K reached 1,912 on single-core and 15,924 on multi-core.

The Aurora’s 1TB SSD transferred 25GB of files at a rate of 2,101.85 MBps, falling behind the Omen (2,522.49 Mbps) but beating out the MSI (1,802.66 MBps).

It took 2 minutes and 56 seconds for the Alienware Aurora R15 to transcode a 4K video to 1080p using Handbrake. While that’s faster than the Omen (3:39), the MSI Infinite RS 13th was 11 seconds faster.

Software and Warranty on the Alienware Aurora R15

Alienware has more preloaded apps on the Aurora R15 than it needs. The most important of these is Alienware Command Center, a catch-all app that lets you change RGB lighting, adjust power profiles, launch games and even dabble in overclocking.

My Alienware serves as a bit of a digital manual, but it seems superfluous. The most useful thing it does is provide quick access to your service tag in case you need to contact support. (This app needs some updates. It still shows an Alienware Aurora desktop design from atl least two iterations ago).

Additionally, parent company Dell has a piece of software, Customer Connect, dedicated exclusively to surveys, which just feels like bloatware. There are also separate programs for downloading software you may have bought with purchase and for updating your PC.

The company’s reach extends into the Edge browser, with bookmarks to McAfee Security, Alienware’s website and Alienware Support. It’s far from the only company to be reaching into the browser, but at over $4,000, that seems like an overreach.

There’s also the usual bloat from Windows 11. Our Start menu included Whatsapp, Spotify, Disney Plus, Amazon Prime Video, TikTok, Amazon Kindle and more.

Alienware sells the Aurora R15 with a one-year warranty that can be stretched to four years for an additional cost.

Configurations of the Alienware Aurora R15

We tested the Aurora R15 in an incredibly-expensive $4,929.99 configuration with an Intel Core i9-13900KF, Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 , 64GB of DDR5 RAM, a 1TB of PCIe NVMe SSD and 1TB HDD. Dell didn’t send along the $50 rear cable cover, and I’m fine with that, as I think it gets in the way. (It’s also a ridiculous price for a piece of plastic). These RTX 4090 configurations start at $4,499 with 32GB of RAM.

The Aurora R15 line as a whole starts at $1,799.99 with a Core i5-13600KF, Nvidia GeForce RTX 3050, 8GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD. As of this writing, all of the models in between our unit and the base model use RTX 30-series GPUs, not 40-series. I’m told more RTX 40-series options should be added as they come in stock.

I hope Alienware and Dell start bumping up the specs for the base model, especially the boot drive. There are games that take up the majority, if not more, than 256GB.

The Alienware Aurora R15 is a step forward, in that it is finally promoting more airflow in both extra ventilation and moving beyond a 120mm radiator. That 240mm radiator should help cool top-end models in gaming, but especially in productivity.

(Image credit: Tom’s Hardware)

Intel and Nvidia’s latest components also offer a fair jump forward in performance — at least on the high-end model we tested. I suspect many people shopping for prebuilt gaming PCs are going to go for a cheaper configuration.

Seeing Alienware upgrade the cooling is good, but it has a way to go. It should follow in the footsteps of other companies in the space and move away from proprietary parts, so that those who use prebuilts as gateways into PC gaming can fully upgrade their systems in the future. The MSI Infinite RS 13th, which we have on our bench right now, is all standardized parts. That was also the case with the Omen.

But for those who don’t want to build and like Alienware’s look, the Aurora R15 did perform admirably in our test compared to another system with similar specs. With the right configuration, it should last you for a while to come with powerful, quiet performance.

Price: $4,588 as reviewed
Processor: Intel Core i9-13900KF
RAM: 32 GB
Graphics Card: Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090
Storage: 1 TB SSD, 1 TB HDD
Ports: USB-A, USB-C, 3.5 mm audio, Ethernet, DisplayPort, HDMI, SPDIF, surround sound

Weight: Up to 36. 4 pounds (depending on config)

The Alienware Aurora R15 ($1,399 to start) is an excellent gaming PC that improves upon its predecessors in a few key ways, packing the most powerful components you can afford in an attractive, easy-to-open chassis.

Though that chassis looks awfully similar to the Legend 2.0 case which debuted last year with the Aurora R13, Alienware claims to have redesigned it to run cooler and quieter, and my experience putting our review unit through its paces bears that out.

But while case design is a surprisingly important part of choosing the best gaming PC for you given that their internals are typically highly customizable (and thus not a meaningful differentiator between PCs), it’s far from the most exciting aspect of these machines. No, what we get most hyped about is how well a gaming PC plays the latest and greatest games with all the settings cranked to max.

When Alienware sent us a tricked-out Aurora R15 review unit with an RTX 4090 and a high-end 13th Gen Intel CPU I did everything I could to bring it to its knees, but even when gaming at 4K with every bell and whistle firing it ran whisper-quiet and delivered great framerates. That level of performance is far from cheap, but if you can afford it this is a gaming PC that will last you for years to come.

Alienware Aurora R15 review: Price and availability

Starts at $1,399, but you can easily pay over $5k if you want the best

Highly customizable with the latest from AMD, Intel and Nvidia

The Alienware Aurora R15 is available for purchase right now via Dell’s website in either white or black (Lunar Light and Dark Side of the Moon, technically), and you can order a stock config or customize your own. The price tag on this Windows 11 gaming PC starts as low as $1,399 (at time of review), and for that you get a 13th Gen Intel Core i5 CPU, an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3050 GPU, 8GB of DDR5 RAM and a 256GB SSD for storage.

That’s a decent machine for the price and it should be able to run many games well enough (though 8GB of RAM really isn’t much, so you should probably add more), but it won’t play the latest and greatest PC games at high resolution with great framerates.

(Image credit: Future)

Of course, Alienware is happy to sell you more power if you can afford it. The company offers at least 7 pre-configured builds of the Aurora R15 on its website, some with Intel CPUs and others with AMD chips.

The price tag for these builds ranges as high as $4,499, and for that you get a top-of-the-line liquid-cooled R15 with a 13th Gen Intel Core i9-13900KF CPU, an Nvidia Geforce RTX 4090 GPU, 32GB of DDR5 RAM and a 1TB SSD for booting plus another 1TB hard disk drive (HDD) spinning at 7,200 RPM for added storage. It’s a beefy rig, as befits a nearly $5k price tag, and it’s what Alienware sent us to review.

But for true enthusiasts, Alienware offers the option of configuring your own build. In addition to the remarkably powerful Intel Core i9-13900KF CPU and GeForce RTX 4090 GPU, you can configure an Aurora R15 with up to 64GB of DDR5 RAM (at either 4800MHz or the faster, more expensive 5200MHz) and up to a 4TB SSD + a 2TB hard drive. Such a rig would cost you roughly $5,500, though it could climb even higher if you splurged for a Pro copy of Windows 11 and some of Alienware’s gaming accessories.

Alienware Aurora R15 review: Design

Redesigned Legend chassis runs cool and quiet, still looks great

Those fins on the back can leave wicked scratches on your wall

The Aurora R15 looks very similar to its predecessor the Alienware Aurora R13 at a glance, from the reclining oval face to the stubby fins on the back that left a few scratches on the wall behind my desk.

Dig deeper and you’ll see how Alienware has redesigned the case to improve airflow by, among other things, punching some hexagonal holes in the side and expanding the cooling complement for high-end models (those with an Intel CPU ending in “K”, denoting overclock capabilities) to a set of five 120mm case fans. The company also changed up the motherboard’s design and relocated some things within the case to try and make room for today’s beefy GPUs while ensuring the R15 runs quieter and cooler.

(Image credit: Future)

After spending some time with our review unit I can’t say for sure how much quieter it is than the R13 I reviewed last year, but I can say I barely noticed any fan noise or heat from the R15, even after spending hours playing a game like Cyberpunk 2077 at 4K resolution with all setting maxed. This is a nice change from when I was playing the same game on the older R13, since I can remember that machine getting a bit louder and putting out a noticeable amount of hot air after I’d been playing for an hour or two.

I barely noticed any fan noise or heat from the R15, even after spending hours playing a game like Cyberpunk 2077 at 4K with all setting maxed.”

Like the R13, the new Alienware Aurora R15 has an optional clear glass side panel (not available on all models) which lets you peer inside your PC to watch the components at work. New to the R15 is the afore-mentioned grille of hexagonal cutouts along the bottom half of the panel for improved airflow. If you want to get inside the PC this is the panel you want to remove, and it’s easy to do: simply unscrew one screw on the back of the PC and then (gently) prying it off. You can pull the other side off as well, and even the top of the case if you want to break out a screwdriver, but you can get to most of the PC’s innards just from the left side panel.

You can get around inside to just about anything you need to, but expect it to take a while—the case is tightly organized, and there are more than one or two brackets and stays between you and some areas of the case. This is the trade-off you make for the Aurora R15’s attractive case design and relatively compact size: Limited upgradability.

Still, it’s not hard to see the appeal of the Aurora R15 at a glance. The oblong case is easy on the eyes and, if not exactly light, at least more convenient to lug around than many full-sized gaming PCs. Not long ago I reviewed the Acer Predator Orion 7000, another great gaming PC that comes in a full tower case, and if I had to pick one to carry up a flight of stairs, I’d go Aurora every time.

Alienware Aurora R15 review: Ports and upgradability

Plenty of ports on front and back, though none up top

Case is easy to open, but difficult to work in

That removable side panel is one of the nicer aspects of the Aurora R15’s design because it makes it awfully easy to get into the PC and start mucking around. I really like this ease of access to the case, even if I’m less fond of the way Alienware routes as many cables as possible behind the motherboard and up the right side. This keeps cable clutter minimal in the case (which looks great) but can make it tricky to modify or add your own touches since you’ll need to work within the limits of the case.

This is true for working within the case in general: It’s easy enough to get in there and start fiddling with things, but you’ll be hampered by Alienware’s design work. While swapping in new RAM is easy enough, expect to have to remove brackets and move components around to do more complicated things like swap out a GPU in the case. Since Alienware uses a proprietary motherboard, your options for upgrading it (and by extension the CPU) down the road are limited at best.

Alienware’s Aurora R15 sports all the ports a PC gaming enthusiast could want, with some on the front and the rest on the rear. However you won’t find any top-mounted ports on this PC, which might be a bummer for those who like to keep their gaming rig on the floor.

While plugging things into the front of the case does mar the clean lines of the R15 somewhat, you can’t beat the convenience. Up front you get a headphone jack and a vertical lineup of USB-C ports: 2x USB-A 3.2 Gen 1, another USB-A 3.2 Gen 1 with PowerShare (which just means the port delivers power to connected devices even when the PC is switched off) and a USB-C Gen 2 port with PowerShare.

But that’s just a teaser. The real port smorgasbord is on the back of the PC, where you get a quartet of classic USB-A 2.0 ports as well as a newer USB-A 3.2 Gen 1 port, a USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 port and a USB-C 3.2 Gen 2×2 port. As far as graphics go, your GPU choice will dictate what sorts of port options you have for outputting to monitors, and the 4090 in our review unit offers 3 DisplayPort jacks and one HDMI out.

The Aurora R15 also comes with a detachable cover you can slide over the rear to cut down on visible cable clutter. (Image credit: Future)

If you want to invest in a serious speaker setup to go with your new gaming PC, the Aurora R15 sports the ports you want. In addition to side, rear and center/subwoofer output ports you get line in and line out, a microphone in, and two SPDIF digital outputs: one for Toslink cables and the other for coax.

You’ll want to plug into a high-speed wired Internet connection for online gaming, of course, so it’s nice to see the Aurora R15 also includes an RJ-45 jack with support for Intel’s Killer E3100G Gigabit Ethernet.

The Aurora R15 also comes with a detachable rear cover you can slide over the back of the PC to help route cables and hide them from view.

Alienware Aurora R15 review: Gaming performance

Our ~$5K review unit excels at 4K gaming thanks to Nvidia’s RTX 4090

…but you can get nearly as good gaming performance from a PC over $1k less

The Alienware Aurora R15 unit we received for review is an excellent gaming machine thanks to its GeForce RTX 4090 GPU, Core i9 CPU and 32GB of DDR5 RAM. I enjoyed my time reviewing this PC immensely, as it had no trouble running any game I cared to launch.

At home I have a dual-monitor setup, one 1080p and one 1440p, and our Aurora R15 was able to run everything from Cyberpunk 2077 to Death Stranding to Marvel’s Midnight Suns at 1440p with all the settings maxed out. With most games it had no trouble delivering 60 frames per second or better, especially when I flipped on Nvidia’s DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling) in games which support it.

(Image credit: Future)

Even when I (carefully) dragged the Aurora R15 over to my LG C2 OLED TV and hooked it up to see how well it could spit game at 4K, I was not disappointed. While our Aurora R15 review unit could only manage between 30-40 fps while running Cyberpunk 2077 at 4K with all settings cranked to max, that was before I flipped on Nvidia’s DLSS.

Nvidia rolled out a new version of the tech (DLSS 3) alongside its GeForce RTX 4000 series, and Cyberpunk 2077 was one of the first games to get updated with support for DLSS 3. Not only does DLSS 3 tap the Tensor Cores in Nvidia GPUs to dynamically enhance image quality while you’re playing, it actually inserts new frames in between frames of gameplay. It can be confusing to understand when you read about it, but once I saw it in action on our Aurora R15 I was impressed by how much it improved my experience of playing Cyberpunk 2077 without any noticeable graphical issues. When I would use older versions of DLSS in times gone by I would often notice graphical distortions cropping up that made it appear as though the image was being smeared or blurred out slightly, especially during scenes of fast action.

If you want a great PC for gaming at 4K, Alienware delivers with the Aurora R15—assuming you’re willing to pay for the privilege.”

Not so with DLSS 3 and Cyberpunk 2077. When I flipped on DLSS 3 in the game’s settings, that 30-40 fps at 4K shot up to 100-120 fps, with no noticeable degradation in image quality. If DLSS 3 can do for every game what it did for my experience playing Cyberpunk at 4K, call me a believer.

Of course, we don’t just rely on or own anecdotal experience when reviewing PCs here at Tom’s Guide. We also run every machine through our testing lab (don’t miss our guide to how we test products), where we subject it to a battery of performance tests to see how it stacks up against the competition.

Grand Theft Auto V 186/53 181/66 178/67 185/56

As you might expect, our nearly $5K review unit achieved high scores across the board in these tests. In fact it significantly outperformed some of the most powerful gaming PCs we’ve tested in the last year, including the Origin PC Millennium (2022) (i9-12900K, GeForce RTX 3080 Ti, 32GB RAM) and the Corsair One i300 (i9-12900K, GeForce RTX 3080 Ti, 64GB RAM).

(Image credit: Future)

However, keep in mind those are older PCs packing last-gen parts. We haven’t tested a ton of 2023 PCs with the latest and greatest components yet, but we did recently test a cheaper Origin Chronos V3 gaming PC (priced upwards of $3.5K) with only slightly less powerful guts—specifically, it arrived with an Intel Core i9-13900K CPU, an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080 GPU and 32GB of RAM. Our Aurora R15 review unit still managed to outperform this Origin in nearly every gaming benchmark, but as you can see from the chart of results above, the two were neck-and-neck in many of them.

So if you want a great PC for gaming at 4K, Alienware delivers with the Aurora R15—assuming you’re willing to pay for the privilege.

Alienware Aurora R15 review: Overall performance

13th Gen Intel Core i9 CPU blazes through performance benchmarks

Excellent ray tracing, but cheaper PCs outperform this monster elsewhere

You shouldn’t need to worry about performance when using a gaming PC for day-to-day work tasks, especially when that PC cost you nearly $5K. The Aurora R15 meets that expectation with flying colors, as it ran whisper-quiet and never hitched or froze no matter how many browser tabs, productivity applications and streams of data I opened at once.

(Image credit: Future)

Our performance tests reveal that this is an excellent machine for running demanding applications for work like video editing, game development and the like, but you could have guessed that from the smorgasbord of high-powered parts inside. However, it was again neck-and-neck with the new Origin Chronos V3 we just tested, which managed to outperform the Aurora R15 in a few key areas.

Row 0 – Cell 0 Alienware Aurora R15 Corsair One i300 Origin PC Millennium Origin Chronos V3

Geekbench 5 22,494 17,965 18,096 24,054

25 GB File Copy (MBps) 1,340 3,006 1,023 1,809

Handbrake (Min:Seconds) 3:12 3:28 3:22 2:48

Notably, our Alienware Aurora R15 review unit was less speedy than the Origin Chronos V3 in terms of CPU performance (22,494 vs 24,054), file transfer speeds (1,340 MBps vs 1,809) and video editing performance (3:12 vs 2:48), which we measure by timing how long it takes the PC to transcode a 4K video down to 1080p using Handbrake.

We also run every PC we review through a few benchmarks designed to evaluate how well it performs at tasks like rendering graphics (3DMark), editing media like photos in Adobe Photoshop Elements (HDXPRT 4), or more esoteric computing tasks like facial recognition (CrossMark). As you might expect, our Aurora R15 performed quite well in these tests, putting up high scores across the board.

Here again that Origin Chronos V3 put up better numbers than our Aurora R15 review unit in CrossMark and HDXPRT 4, though the difference between the two is relatively small. However, the power of the RTX 4090 helped the R15 achieve a far better score than the Chronos in 3DMark’s Port Royal test, which evaluates how well a PC handles ray tracing.

Given that this is a machine tuned for gaming it’s nice to see that it excels in the ray tracing department, since ray tracing tech is showing up in more and more games every year.

Alienware Aurora R15 review: Software

Minimal bloatware, which is great

Alienware Command Center is the MVP

There wasn’t much installed on our Aurora R15 review unit when it arrived save Windows 11 and a few Dell/Alienware applications you’ll rarely touch, including My Alienware, Alienware Customer Connect and Alienware Update (which you use to do things like update your BIOS).

(Image credit: Future)

The one piece of pre-installed software you’ll likely use a lot is the Alienware Command Center. This is the most feature-rich Alienware app on the system, as it allows you to do things like monitor and manage your system cooling, create and implement system overclock profiles, customize the case’s RGB lighting and more.

Alienware Aurora R15 review: Verdict

The Alienware Aurora R15 is a great gaming PC that improves upon its predecessors in small but meaningful ways. While how well it plays games will depend on what you can afford to put in it, getting in there is easy thanks to the accessible design of the case.

The fact that our Aurora R15 review unit never got hot or loud during the review process, even when playing demanding games at 4K for hours with all settings cranked to max, suggest Alienware’s efforts to improve the case design paid off. While ours is admittedly liquid-cooled with Alienware’s Cryo-Tech cooler, which is only available on the higher-end models (the cheapest Aurora R15 units are simply air-cooled), the cost of adding such cooling to an R15 is a few hundred bucks. Not cheap, but certainly not on the level of upgrading the GPU to the 4090 in our review unit.

And really, that’s the main appeal of this PC: You can get one with the latest and greatest components inside, and my experience playing games on one suggests its worth the high cost of entry. Of course, more and more PCs with 13th Gen Intel chips and 40-series Nvidia GPUs are hitting the market every week, some of which (like the Origin Chronos V3 we’re reviewing) might actually outperform the R15 in some areas despite costing less.

But even the truly flush who are out there scouring storefronts for the perfect RTX 4090-powered gaming PC would be well-served by the Aurora R15 thanks to its easy-to-access case and excellent cooling. Plus, it looks real good on a desk.

ready to wait, you will receive the personalized computer you wanted.

How to choose the best gaming PC?

When it comes to finding and choosing the best gaming PC, the ultimate challenge for the end user is getting the right balance between budget and gaming performance. If money isn’t an issue (or at least if you’re willing to save up), then you can’t go wrong picking two of the best gaming PCs on our list: the MSI MEG Aegis Ti5 and the Alienware Aurora Ryzen Edition R10. Both come with powerful processors (you can also upgrade to the latest generation of Intel Core and AMD Ryzen processors) and Nvidia RTX 3080 graphics cards, they are just shy of the best GPU available today, we are talking about the Nvidia RTX 3090. Both have great customization options so you can fiddle around with the features to your liking.

If you need to keep your budget in mind, the HP Omen 30L is a good choice as it has a wide range of settings that will give you decent performance at a reasonable price. There’s also the Lenovo Legion Tower 5i with RTX 3060, which we consider to be the best gaming PC for 1080p gaming.

How do we test gaming PCs?

The purchase of a gaming machine is a serious, expensive purchase,
therefore, it cannot be taken lightly, just as seriously we approach
testing review PCs before including them in the rating. Choosing a gaming PC
rating requires comprehensive testing, which is not limited to
popular games, we do not forget to try out a few older ones, but
demanding to graphics, games, note performance, efficiency
cooling and many other aspects. Not without synthetic
tests that include Geekbench
5, 3DMark and PCMark
10.

As the computer goes through the components, we go to
external details, noting the potential for modernization, the possibility of installing
additional components and a set of ports, RGB-backlighting and the availability of subsequent customization. Finally we
we test computers in everyday tasks, since gaming computers,
despite the classification, they often serve as an everyday PC.

Finally, we pull together all the results of a gaming PC and correlate them with the price tag – summing up, we determine whether its performance and features are worth the asking price, and whether it offers the best value to the end consumer.

What
choose: gaming PC or next-gen console?

Possibly
there is no clear answer that can solve all disputes between gaming PCs and next consoles

games like Horizon Forbidden West, you
you just can’t play it anywhere else.

Next-gen consoles are also an all-in-one package, meaning you get a game-ready machine and a gamepad with it out of the box. Gaming PCs require a system unit, monitor, keyboard and mouse, most of which will have to be purchased separately. The cost of PC gaming accessories only increases when you set your sights on getting the best gaming keyboard, the best gaming mouse, and the best PC gaming headsets.

What to look for when buying a gaming PC?

While building your own gaming PC can be costly and hassle-free, great gaming PCs are more affordable than ever before. Even Intel Comet Lake and AMD Ryzen 5000 processors, as well as Nvidia Ampere or Big Navi graphics cards, are becoming more affordable than their predecessors. So don’t worry about the price. Whatever your budget, you won’t have to compromise.

Whether you’re playing the best PC games or low-budget free games, choosing a PC with the right performance without compromising on vital features, whether that’s a selection of ports or attractive RGB lighting, is your priority. Whether it’s an expensive desktop that’s capable of playing games in 4K or the best budget gaming PC that’s capable of smooth 1080p gaming. Don’t worry about flair and design unless your budget is tight.

Make sure you have fast enough RAM.

Hardware for games should be appropriate – every gamer knows this. The question is brewing: what makes a powerful gaming computer such? The video card is responsible for the graphics without lags, the powerful processor is responsible for the speed of downloads, and the efficient cooling system is responsible for the smooth operation. In addition, memory bandwidth and screen refresh rate matter. Together, all these parameters allow us to call the computer a gaming one.

How to choose a gaming PC

Gamer PCs are very different from office models. When choosing a gaming computer, it is important to consider several factors:

Processor

A gaming PC must have at least a quad-core processor from known lines (Intel Core, AMD Ryzen). It is better to choose the last generation if the budget allows.

Video card

In the video card, we are interested in the amount of memory and frequency. Games will require at least 8 GB of internal memory. The effective frequency is from 14 GHz.

RAM

A gaming build will require an average of 16 GB of RAM, while high-performance games may require all 32 GB for smooth loading without freezing. The DDR4 type of RAM is still in demand on the market, although many have already looked closely at DDR5.

Drive

A drive is provided to store the data of the gaming PC. Of the two existing types (HDD / SSD) for a gaming computer, it is better to choose the most capacious SSD from 512 GB.

Cooling system

So that the game does not stop at the most interesting place due to overheating, it is important to pay attention to the choice of computer cooling system. There are only two types: active air and passive water. In the first case, pay attention to the size of the blades and the speed of revolutions, it depends on how the fan will “drive” the air. Passive cooling makes less noise, but the efficiency is low – by no means a gaming option. It would be ideal to combine ventilation and water cooling with self-assembly.

Review of an expert on gaming computers

Grigory Tsyganov , electronics repair service center specialist shares tips on choosing gaming computers:

“Choose the final assembly one that will not have to be upgraded in the near future. The fact is that an independent upgrade is fraught with loss of warranty. Therefore, if you take a ready-made PC, look for a model with a newer processor and a video card that will suit you for the next two to three years. It is important to prevent overheating, it is better to install an additional fan.

Popular Questions and Answers

Grigory Tsyganov , Electronics Repair Service Center Specialist:

How can I save money on buying a gaming computer?

Buy a computer during sales or special offers. Many manufacturers have seasonal or holiday sales where you can buy PCs at a discount. Or assemble the computer yourself – yes, you will have to spend time on assembly, but this way you can significantly save the budget, since you will select the components at your discretion.

It is also possible to purchase a PC with basic components and upgrade or upgrade them later. For example, expand the RAM, install a more powerful GPU or hard drive.

How many frames per second should a gaming graphics card support?

60-120 frames per second is considered optimal, and 240 is the maximum. It should be borne in mind that monitors with a refresh rate of at least 144 Hz can process high frame rates.

Does the number of processor cores affect actual performance?

The number of processor threads directly depends on the number of processor cores. Therefore, yes, the more cores, the higher the performance will be along with the speed of task processing.

Can I install an HDD on my gaming computer?

It is possible to install, but it will be of little use.
