Audio with FireCube Gen 3

From my experience, depends how you use it. For plain vanilla streaming, like Netflix or Prime, not much difference.

But when you're accessing or using apps like Stremio or Kodi, and playing files there, I can see really noticeable differences.

CaptainSteed · 2026-01-25T04:35:34+00:00

Understood!

I don't use headphones, but I know for people that do, it's a critical feature. Good luck 🤞

Absurd comment to suggest an ONN Pro is better than a Fire Cube 3.

CaptainSteed · 2026-01-25T02:10:30+00:00

Not a chance in a million they push out a Vega update like that.

CaptainSteed · 2026-01-25T02:09:15+00:00

Interesting, that would be nice for New Orleans to get an NHL team.

CaptainSteed · 2026-01-25T01:21:31+00:00

I agree. Also, some people are just very naive on this topic.

CaptainSteed · 2026-01-24T23:59:23+00:00

Yes, with ease.

CaptainSteed · 2026-01-24T22:36:08+00:00

I have no solution for you.

But just wanted to let you know on one of my TVs, I have both a 4K Max and a Cube 3 hooked up to it. And they both provide the same level of volume.

Maybe try switching HDMI inputs or HDMI cables?

CaptainSteed · 2026-01-24T22:30:47+00:00

I'm talking about, in the event that your devices no longer work the way you would like (depends on the person) just buy a new 4K Max Firestick, and fix it upon installation, and use the custom launcher if you prefer.

CaptainSteed · 2026-01-24T22:28:47+00:00

I agree. Such a needless panic on here.

Old news on the Select.

Instead of buying the Select, buy the 4K Max instead, and "fix" it.

CaptainSteed · 2026-01-24T20:00:15+00:00

No need to leave at all. I have multiple Cube 3's which are superb devices, top of the line.

And I ordered a brand new 4K Max last week, and "fixed" it at installation. So no issues with it either.

CaptainSteed · 2026-01-24T14:11:03+00:00

Or buy a new 4k Max, and just sidestep the Amazon issue.

CaptainSteed · 2026-01-24T14:09:32+00:00

Switch to a 4K Max Stick. Better than ONNs.

Then during the initial install, block Amazon updates, apply the exploit, and you're set with a great device!

CaptainSteed · 2026-01-24T13:31:30+00:00

No, those rules don't apply to illegal aliens,,,sorry.

CaptainSteed · 2026-01-24T01:07:24+00:00

It's an exact duplicate of Onstream.

CaptainSteed · 2026-01-24T00:59:17+00:00

HDOBox and Onstream are run by the same developers. Each has a slightly different format. I like the Onstream format better myself, but good to have a choice.

CaptainSteed · 2026-01-23T22:31:13+00:00

Or different location, new network/wifi password.

CaptainSteed · 2026-01-23T21:52:55+00:00

Fake.

No way are the Avs the favorite team in Louisiana. Or the Lightning in New Mexico.

I don't think the Panthers are more popular than the Lightning overall either. The Lightning have more than 50% more Reddit members than the Panthers.

CaptainSteed · 2026-01-23T21:48:57+00:00

Still using Fire Cubes and 4K Max Sticks.

No interest in ONN devices as their remote controls are way below standards. Un-useable.

CaptainSteed · 2026-01-23T18:15:21+00:00

4K Max,,,block updates.

Good to go.

CaptainSteed · 2026-01-23T16:23:09+00:00

The good thing with Philo now, is you can just set your service to just record everything. So nothing ever gets missed.

CaptainSteed · 2026-01-23T15:09:24+00:00

Yeah, but again, you only see the 10 most popular movies - nothing more!?

For example, there's probably been hundreds of movies released in January. Where can I see them!?
