    Worst experience of my life! Open box item came with no remote, no mic, no directions. I was told I has to take back to a store (even though I ordered on line). Closest best buy to me was 31/2 hour round trip. Nonetheless I mage the trek and the people in the Saginaw Mi store were the rudest I have ever encountered in my 75 years. I ended up just getting a refund and will probably never darken the door of another best buy and will make sure my circle of acquaintances know my feelings,
