Man Cave Must Haves

Bose has always had a label of high price low quality. The current price for this system on Amazon is 999.00. I could set up a way better sounding system for 1k. But it would not offer the convenience that this system offers. The sound is pretty good for two speakers and a sub. At times you do feel like you are getting that 5.1 sound but other times it does come up short. Some of the new TVs coming out now are producing better sound then this system. The system is perfect for a living room or second entertainment area. I would how ever not recommend it your the man cave.

About a year or so ago I could never understand why someone would buy a stand alone Blu-Ray player for 300-400 dollars and not just a PS3 instead. I do understand the PS3 doesn’t always give you the best picture. But you get a Blu-ray player and a video game system for the same price. But now the price of stand alone blu-ray players has come way down. The current price for this one is around 165.00 on Amazon. The system offers netcast for youtube and NetFlix. Full HD 1080p output via HDMI with Cinema mode at 24 or 60 frames per second USB Media Host and 7.1 channels with Dolby Digital Plus & TrueHD & dts-HD. I have yet to have a chance to explore all the options that this system offers. I can tell you it gives you some of the finest picture quality around. At the price of 165.00 you cannot go wrong with this blu-ray player. So if you have yet to jump into blu-ray I would give this system some serious consideration. The LG 370 gets a strong 4 out of 5.

MAG was to be a huge step forward in multi player gaming. It was to be the game that stopped people from playing Call of Duty. The truth is this game only raises the bar in the number of people that can play on a map at 256. But a what cost for such a large number of players? To do this clearly they had to cut the amount of information sent back and forth. The graphics will make you think your still playing with your playstation 2. The controls feel almost unresponsive at times. This is a huge disappointment from what I got excited over the unveiling at E3. I am not one for long reviews. MAG is a rental at best. It gets 2 out of 5.

It’s time folks!! We all have a TV in our Man Cave but how many of us have a nice wall projector for that great Cave Theater experience? Well it’s time to review a few of the beasts and see what all the outside world has to offer. I like to call it our own little slice of Man Cave Heaven.

A common misconception when it comes to projectors is they cannot get the resolution that a normal TV can get. This is not true at all. You can easily find quite a few projectors that get just as high of resolution as your favorite Big Screen TV (Full 1080p) at half the cost. Plus with the right environment you can get a picture that is twice the size of the biggest TV’s! One thing you do have to keep in mind when buying a projector is what kind of lighting do I have in my Man Cave? The reason you need to ask yourself this question, is how much light you have in the room WILL reflect on a projectors picture quality! Luckily most of us like our Man Caves nice and dark so it shouldn’t be to big of a problem. Next up are our reviews of some of the best projectors out there for your buck!

Have you ever been over to a buddies house and wondered how he has speakers half the size of yours yet it seems to sound 100 times better? It’s time to do something about it! It’s time to talk about how you can get the best sound for your Man Cave while still keeping within your budget.

The first thing you need is a surround sound system. Now for those of you that are new to the surround sound arena let me give you a few tips.

1. You don’t need to buy the most expensive system to get great sound! (although it is good to have some high quality speakers.)
2. Know what you want! Do you want Dolby Digital® 5.1, Dolby TrueHD® 7.1, or DTS®
3. What is the size of your room? Do you know if you are going to go wireless or not? (this is technically one question. Based on the room size and shape you may opt to go wireless.)
4. You need to know how much you can spend before going out and setting up a system. Do your research to know exactly how much it will cost for what you want so there are no surprises.
5. Get ready to live!

Now that you have figured out exactly what you want how do you go about choosing? Well you could take your friend who has the great sounding surround already… Or you can jump online and see what others have gotten and how they rate the things in your price range. You will come to find out that like I said earlier, it’s not always how much you spend to get great surround. Click the read link to find out how to setup your new surround system. continue reading…

If you’re like me, you find yourself gaming all hours of the night. Whether you still live in your parent’s basement, or have a wife and kid, there are times you are just forced to play quietly. We all know that turning down the sound totally takes away from the whole gaming experience. That’s why I suggest trying the Ear Force X41 Digital RF Wireless Game Audio+ Chat with Dolby 7.1 Surround Sound.

Although the micophone isn’t the greatest, just like others on the market, the headphones make up for any shortcomings that would keep you from making the purchase. These headphones allow you to have the ultimate gaming experience without the rest of the neighborhood having to join in for the festivities.

These headphones are man cave, and wife, approved.
