Not worth it's cost
I admit,this is a nice "looking" power strip and it will work just fine with your electronics equipment,but you can get the same quality in a surge power strip for half the price of this one.With Monster Cable products,it seems that 50% of the product's price is in the way it "looks",not what it actually "does". | 12 stars

Works great with the Mac, right out of the box
I've had my Kensington keybooard and mouse for about a week. I'm still getting used to it (the keyboard has more bounce to it than I'm used to), but so far I'm very pleased.First: I expected to need to do lots of customization. None was necessary, though I could and did assign URLs (or app launches) to two keys on the left side of the keyboard. Two assignable keys didn't sound like much, but the keyboard already has built-in buttons for mail (which launched Apple Mail with no setup), the calculator, Web keys, and more multimedia controls than I'd have hoped for. I'm surprised by how much I like the scroll thingie on the left side of the keyboard; I've used it far more than I expected.Being wireless is all I'd hoped for. Because my Mac sits on the floor next to my desk, I had to use extension cables and ended up with paper piled on top of wires. This really does give me a great deal of freedom.Unlike another reviewer, I have had no problems with key/mouse combinations such as Option-click. My nitpicking is different. The Kensington keyboard is fatter (i.e. taller) than my original Apple keyboard, so my short hands have to stretch a bit more. And I'm going to have to find the system preferences to deal with this bounce! Those are personal adjustments, though, and the benefits to my new setupp make them worth the effort. | 34 stars

Great Batteries!
I am a professional photographer and my digital cameras and flashes swallow battery power, especially at weddings. I recently purchased a box of these Sunpak batteries and discovered that they fed my equipment completely and had leftover power to spare! I liked them so much that I bought a second box.Here's a tip: Get a decent recharger. Most problems people encounter with rechargeable batteries is an inferior charger. Those "quickie" rechargers are junk. | 45 stars

Chinese JUNK!
Bought the first one from Sam's. Couldn't turn off the movie captions. Took it back, got another. Deja vu all over again. And most buttons on both were either over-sensitive or unresponsive. It would make a fair monitor for a security system as it did have a 'video in' connect. But twice burned....? Zero stars is better! | 01 star

What is up with HP? NOT THIS PRINTER! And don't get the extended warranty
This is the second L7680 I have owned. I have owned several 7210 and received my first 7680 through the upgrade service because of my extended contract with HP. This one worked well for exactly ONE year until the warranty is up and then it started giving me problems. The ADF started sending pages through without copying, faxing or scanning them. I spent countless hours with a heavily accented East Indian man who had me try several things over and over and over. None of these worked and then the printhead failed. So, now, nothing worked. He is supposed to be sending me a new printhead which I have yet to receive. That was 2 weeks ago. So, I took it upon myself to purchase a brand new L7680 and got it all set up. the first thing that happened was the ADF was sending pages through without copying, printing or scanning them. I fax long documents up to 20 pages and have to stand there and put them back through when the ADF sends it through without copying or faxing them. Then, they are received totally out of order. This new one was doing this as soon as it was set up!! I thought I was cursed or something. I called HP and was on hold waiting for an agent for 37 minutes and finally hung up and tried chatting online. At least they don't have a heavy accent, however, they are working with about 12 people at the same time so your wait time between responses and questions is considerable. I did the same thing I had done with the other one, unplug it, wait 30 seconds and plug it back in. then, unplug it, wait 30 seconds and plug it back in while holding down the # and 6 keys. that didn't work either. I had registered it online but they had no record of it even though when I went into my account with HP, lo and behold, there it was, the serial number of the thing. but I had to reregister it and wait 12 hours until it shows up somewhere. HP is going downhill I am afraid. I have a laser printer that I've had for 8 years and it's still causing NO problems, however, these all in ones seem to have real problems with the automatic document feeders after one year, except in this case, after one fax. Oh, and if you buy the extended contract, beware because they will NEVER send you a brand new unit again. You will receive a "refurbished" unit which is supposed to mean it was opened in a store somewhere but was never used or it had a small problem and their techs put it back to perfect. Well, that's not true. In working with them over the 7210 that started having the same problems they would send me a replacement unit and I found that whatever problem they were having when the previous owners sent it in, I had. that was useless. Don't spend the money for an extended contract, you just guarantee more time with a heavily accented Indian person who reads you from a book about what to do and eventually gives up because nothing works right. I'm now looking at purchasing a Brother or something else. HP is not what they used to be. the printing quality is great when they work but they cannot be depended on to work more than one year...and sometimes not even one week.Oh, and here's something else I learned. If you buy one on eBay for a really great price that states they are "BRAND NEW, NEVER OPENED" Beware of that too because what you are receiving is a unit that sat somewhere and the original warranty is no longer valid. I did that and cannot get the seller to respond to me. this unit was produced in 2007 and the warranty wound down and out in April of 2008 so I cannot get a new one from HP. They do keep track of those serial numbers!!! I'm just a little old 60 year old disabled nurse trying to do some service where I need a fax that works and can't seem to get HP or anyone else to stand behind this unit. | 12 stars

Great NC headphones at a great price
I've used these headphones over a dozen flights and they've been great, even when I'm in the back of the plane next to the engines. The sound quality is great and the noise-canceling is a amazing. I haven't turned my iPod's volume past 40% when these are on. When I'm watching movies on the flight, I'm typically at one or two notches up from the lowest volume setting. I did experience one problem with a high pitch whine when connected to some audio systems. But I think this has to do more with an aging or damaged audio system than the headphones (e.g. old aircraft audio systems) since I have had flawless experiences with my iPod and most of the flights I've been on. | 45 stars

Good cable
Bought this cable and good thing I did, as even though I had some old cable around the house, one was bad, and so the computer didn't recognize the network. I replaced the bad cable with this one, and worked perfectly. | 45 stars

A very good product
I am almost completely happy with this intercom. The only problem is that you are very tempted to speak right into the speaker and if you do, your words come out very muffled and the other person cannot understand you. You have to speak at least 6 inches from the speaker and tell the person on the other end to do the same. If it is used in that manner, it works perfectly fine. | 34 stars

Red Hot Mouse!
This mouse is great. It works flawlessly with my laptop even without installing the software. It fits perfectly in my hand and the shiny red color is super cool. I almost settled for a cheaper mouse but I'm glad I got this one instead. Worth every penny! | 45 stars

Wonderful clarity, natural sound!
Just upgraded from a cheap receiver and this is one excellent sounding receiver! Had many receivers in the past including Denon, Yamaha, Onkyo, Harman Kardon, Pioneer, Panasonic, Cambridge Audio, and Kenwood. The clarity and natural tone of this amp are excellent, just a touch of warmth but not too much. Music and movies are both amazing.Setup is time consuming but only because of the multitude of options which is always a good thing. There is an easy simple setup feature as well.The features and inputs are plentiful and I see no need to upgrade anytime soon. The HDMI 1.1 inputs are fine for my needs as they can accept multi-channel audio signals from my Blu-ray player. 90 watts per channel is great in my 12 x 17 living room, and if I should need more I like the fact that the receiver has full pre-outs for using a separate power amplifier.This is my first experience with Marantz and I will continue to purchase other Marantz products. | 45 stars

Excellent product, be aware of Audible offer
Did a lot of research, decided on this Garmin because I don't need blue tooth - easy to figure out, intuitive, LOVE IT - great service.Warning - if you get this because it plays audio books, be aware that the offer from Audible for two free audio books is only for new Audible customers - I am a long time member but I went to a supervisor at Customer Service and they gave me two credits. | 45 stars

Solid Base
I really like this base, more than using a suction cup on my windshield. Even when I drive with a heavy foot, this base does not shift. I also prefer it to the suction cup on the windshield method, because I find it easier to remove from the dash when I have to hide the GPS from losers who will bash in the windows to get it. Good price, easy to use. Packaging was good too---a simple cardboard box, no fighting to get it open. Smart. I am a shrewd buyer and I don't think you will regret this purchase. | 45 stars

It easily breaks whilst in your pocket
Road warriors beware. Note that the card sticks out of the palm unit when inserted into the SD slot. Therefore if you place it in your pants pocket awkwardly and accidentally knock it against something, either the card will dislodger or break. Don't buy this if you are prone to dropping the unit as well.Also note that very few cases for the Palm M515 have a cut out for easy access to the SD slot. | 01 star

Best digital yet
Great for important pics and for on the fly burst snapshots. I love this camera. My Website pics will improve as well as business shots of my tree experiments and landscape jobs.Bought a 1 Gig chip $ [...] here on Amazon, how cheap can it get)for it as I was runnung out of room on my 128 mb chip. Been playing with exposure times and light levels which I'd never been able to do on my other digitals. | 45 stars

Software and VPN Issues
This unit comes with zero documentation, as otherwise noted, and one is forced to use their set-up disk. I followed the instructions and when it came time to save the set-up, the software announced that it could not detect the router (which was by instruction hardwired to the computer). There was then no way to exit the set-up software and a complete reboot of the computer was required.I called tech support (in Argentina) and was cheerly told that the set-up software often did not work and was then taken through manual set-up at which point the router worked.However, it failed to allow IPSEC pass-through (with IPSEC pass- through enabled - a default setting) rendering VPN access to my office impossible. (Using a Cisco/Checkpoint client).I brought the unit into the office this morning and one of our engineers spent two and a half hours on the phone with their tech support, rising three levels, only to get their confirmation of his analysis that IPSEC pass-through only occurs wired, but alas not wireless.They claimed that he was the very first (!) to bring this issue to their attention and they would work on correcting it and to expect a call back on Tuesday.I bought this unit to replace the WRT54G with high-gain antennas to improve reach within our house. I had searched the Internet for verification that this pre-n MIMO unit would extend reach for even non-pre-n nodes and frankly found little beyond Linksys's own muted claims. Also I had heard it rumored that mixed b/g environments were problematic with this router.But the fact is, it does improve even 802.11b reach. Not dramatically, but my wife suddenly had reception for her X31 w/b in her home office and my daughter with a Mac iBook w/b had reception in her bedroom for the first time - both locations significantly screened by the old lath construction in our house - and my X40 w/g and G5 w/g and another daughter's iBook w/b closer by all had similar reception. My initial sense is that the improvement is greater w/b than g.So assuming Linksys can provide updated firmware I'm keeping it and would judge myself very satisfied with its performance. But it is a constant source of surprise that market leaders like Linksys (i.e. Cisco) can bring products to market that are so poorly tested. The time I and my engineer have wasted so far on this has already far exceeded the value of the product. | 23 stars

Great, Except When It's Not
I recently picked this up when its 10-year-old predecessor finally wouldn't work any more (it was a serial port version that couldn't successfully make the transition to the USB world any more, even with an adapter). The first thing that impressed me about the new one was how smooth and slick the movement was, and how fluid the curves. This tablet actually performed as the previous one advertised, and I loved it!At first.However, this tablet does have one major problem: the scroll sliders. These are a pair of touchpads on either side which, if they get bumped just a certain way, go nuts and start scrolling incessantly and do not stop until either a) you disable them, or b) you manage to reboot your computer even though every menu is scrolling up and down like crazy.This was easy enough to fix, by simply disabling the scroll sliders. But it was a pretty big bug in what is otherwise a very nice package. Once that's fixed, the tablet is very good. | 34 stars

works as described - but not a good solution
Yes, a AA battery will fit inside this thing.No, a AA battery doesn't last very long compared to a D cell battery.I bought one of these for a baby bouncy seat. AA batteries don't last a day, when Ever-ready rechargable D cell batteries lasted a week or more.Not a product problem by any means, but the whole idea ends up being not so great.If you've got something that takes D cell batteries, probably whoever designed it figured out the smaller, lighter, cheaper AA batteries wouldn't do the job. Don't second guess the designer. Use real D cells. | 01 star

Excellent Quality

Excellent scanner!
For the money, this is an excellent scanner (under $150). Over the years I've had an Epson, a Microtec, and a Umax (all for the Macintosh), and this one outdoes all of those. Of course, I attribute a lot of this to the technology itself. The first scanner I got was in 1989, and so I know things have gotten better over time.This scanner is easy to use and the results are just great. I can't reccommend it enough. A great choice, especially for beginners, and for the pros, too. | 45 stars

Good quality
These speakers are great. They add just enough sound to enjoy music off of a laptop. The two sound settings allow you to adjust for the occasion- whether you are watching a movie or listening to various styles of music. The extender chord to plug into the sound source is great but it would be better if they made the original chord that long. The box it comes in is stylish and fits well on a desk or dresser. The biggest aspect of these speakers are that they are small enough to take on a trip, but large enough to produce quality sound (although they are too large for everyday travel). I really bought this to listen to movies better on a laptop. I stood 20 feet from the laptop and speakers and could still hear the movie that was playing in great detail (unlike the original laptop speakers, which lose their sound during movies at 3 feet or so). Overall... Good buy- good quality. | 34 stars

This product rocks!!
I bought this nearly 2 years ago, and have never been unhappy with it. I've used it on DOS, Windows 3.1/95/98/NT/XP and Linux machines, with PS2-AT and USB-PS2 adapters - - they always work. I tried a Belkin Omniview 4-port switch for about 6 months - finally sold it and went back to my Linksys, which does NOT make an annoying BEEP every time I switch between machines, does NOT care which machine I power-up first, and NEVER gets "lost" between machines. Thank you Linksys! | 45 stars

Fantastic - No Complaints
I've had this for a little more than a month now, and I love it!! I seriously have no complaints. It's hooked up to my hdmi hd-cable box, xbox 360 via the vga port, and it also works great as a second monitor for my pc (for watching divx movies and playing games). The colors are beautiful and the contrast is excellent. TV looks good, and HD media (like the hd-dvds and hbo-hd) are fantastic. I seriously considered a smaller 37 or 32" (as its in a smallish room), but couldn't be happier with this 40".If you've got oodles of money to burn maybe go for a 46" or something with 1080p, but for the price this thing is unbeatable IMHO... | 45 stars

Big Backpack
Well built, with plenty of extras. Backpack is rather bulky and heavy even when empty. Not recommended for anyone with a weak back. I mainly use it to pack my camera gear on driving trips. I use a smaller backpack when hiking and/or flying. This will NOT fit in an overhead compartment, even in a large plane. | 34 stars

Excellent Home Theatre for the Money
After 9 years of use, my RCA receiver is starting to go out, so I just went to Sam's Club and found the Bose 3-2-1 Series III on sale for 50% off ($500), so I picked it up, thinking that I would replace my old RCA with a better system. I was wrong. Side-by-side the RCA eats the Bose for breakfast in every arena, from highs, middles and lows, the RCA has a great overall sound. I compared the two with a Dave Matthews CD and the Rihanna's Love the way you lie (featuring Eminem), to give you an idea of the ranges...no doubt, I would stick with the RCA (which I paid $250 for new). I will promptly be returning the Bose System and trying to find a receiver to replace the old one. | 45 stars

So far, an excellent product.
I don't write reviews unless I am exceptionally impressed, for the good or the bad. I am pleased to be writing this review.The Sennheiser HD-280 Pros arrived and after the first couple of weeks I am quite impressed with both the quality and design. I was concerned when reading several comments on the snug fit, stating it was designed for a narrow head. I wear a size 7 3/8 hat and I find the set fits very well. It is snug but no more than is necessary for a proper fit. My other concern was wondering if these would measure up and if I should be looking for something in the 500 series. I decided to stay with a closed-back and these fit the bill nicely.These are my first headphone purchased "blind" and I have to admit I was concerned. I am a "try before you buy" guy. I stepped outside my comfort zone and gave it a shot. I was not disappointed.These have a much clearer sound with deeper lows and crisper highs than my Audio-Technica headphones. I recently listened to a recording of J.D. Sumner, best known as the bass singer for the Stamps Quartet and having toured with Elvis Presley. He is recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records for his solo recording of the hymn "Blessed Assurance". According to Guinness, the song contained the lowest recorded note ever produced by a human voice, a "double low" C.I was anxious to hear his bass voice on my new headset and it did him every bit of justice. I heard vocal depths I had not before heard. It was as if somebody turned on the light switch.I have always used, as my audio unit of measure, the sounds of the acoustic piano and the vocal accoutrements of a good Southern Gospel quartet singing a cappella. It is how I have chosen which electronic keyboards were quality and is the audio track I take with me when buying equipment and speakers. The HD-280's produce a clear tone in the lower, middle and upper registers without muddying or blurring the tones, neither does it produce sounds too sharp.Whether you are listening to Béla Bartók or Ol' Blue Eyes, Southern Gospel or Jazz, Classical or Country or anything in between, these can handle the acoustics for even the most discerning ear.And yes, just as it makes the good notes sing, those sour notes will land with an echoless thud.The around-the-ear design is comfortable and the pads are quite sufficient. The speaker placement within each cup provides a sound that is set back from the ear enough so as not to have that in-the-ear sensation one gets from earbuds and even many headsets. The sound surrounds rather than attacks.A feature I particularly enjoy about these headphones is the included 1/4" plug adapter. It doesn't just plug on (which we all know will eventually begin falling off over the years). Sennheiser has adapted a screw-on feature to keep it securely attached. A minor feature but appreciated none the less.Don't forget these offer user-replaceable components making them that much less disposable.Comfort and quality. I recommend this product with a 4 1/2 stars (nothing is perfect). | 45 stars

Horrible Quality!!!
Horrible QualityAll told, I paid 25 bucks for what seems to worth 25 cents at best. It doesn't fit properly, it leaves glue residue on my Sansa and the "hole" to turn the thumbwheel is way off center, rendering it almost useless! Really bad product! I think blind folded pigmies with their hands tied around their backs made these. Do not buy this overpriced piece of garbage! | 12 stars

DO NOT BUY!!!!
I am on my third pair - yes that's right - my third! While the head phones are good when they are working and while the company has replaced them at no charge (shipping to the company was out of my pocket), they . all stopped working within months of receipt. I don't abuse them, I used them about 2 hours a day, they are not near water, they were not stepped on, nothing, not even a torn wire cover, not even a scratch. It was the same problem each time - I couldn't hear out of one earbud. I refuse to continue to use their product. They will not offer a credit or an exchange for something better. I have decided to buy a Sennheiser, which I was originally looking to buy but it was not available. | 12 stars

Can it really handle 1080p?
I bought this for my dorm to connect my 32" HDTV for when I want to watch movies.1080p videos come out choppy, 720p videos come out fine.I have GTX 560 Ti video card, so I doubt it's my video card.4 stars cause it's useful. I use my PS3/Xbox 360 most of the time anyway when watching 1080p movies. | 34 stars

very pleased
I bought this for my 11 year old son. At first I was upset, it is much smaller than I had expected.However he loves it. The software is very user- friendly and he needed only basic help from me in the begining, now he can load all his own music without assistance. It does have a joystick-type button to access the menu so I would recommend caution and patience when using that. So far, he has had no issues with it.Definitely worth the money. The sound quality is amazing. One thing that is not made clear though: it does have a FM tuner, BUT you can NOT record from it, we thought you could. | 34 stars

Good Light
I have a new macbook and was disappointed to find the keyboard was not backlit. I looked around for a lot of lights for it, some that were $30. This is an excellent light, especially for the money (even with the shipping). It lights up most of my keyboard (no problem typing in complete darkness) and does not flop over, like some reportedly do. It also rolls up easily to be put away. The light does not have an on/off switch, but doesn't seem to use too much battery, so I just leave it in whether typing or not once I put it in. I would buy the same one again if I needed one for another laptop. | 45 stars

Solid product, everything works great except wireless range
Everything works straight out of the box, didn't experience any of the problems other people complained about. ADSL connection, wireless connection, print server, all work great. Only had to reboot it twice over the last 5 month (except for when I changed some settings that requires reboot).[edit] while writing this review, had to reboot the router for the 3rd time. LOLThe only thing I'm unhappy with is the wireless range which is FAR less than the advertised 35-100 meters (indoor). Anywhere between 15-25 meters, the speed dropped to the minimum 1 Mbps. Any further, it's good luck trying to pick up the signal. | 34 stars

So satisfied I bought 2
I originally bought one of these units from an electronics retail store to replace my ailing VCR. I liked it so much that I wanted a second one to use in my TV and video production work. Since it had been a "special purchase" item, the retailer didn't have any more available for sale. A quick internet model # search led me to Amazon and for $1 more than I paid at the store [and free shipping], I was able to buy my second unit. This item is easy to configure, the menus make sense, and best of all it works just like a VCR, using discs instead of yesterday's bulky and more expensive video tapes. The image quality in 1 and 2 hour mode is such an improvement over VHS tape it renders any debate or comparison pointless. I do wish there was a recording mode between 2 and 4 hours that upheld the image quality of the 2 hour mode [since occasionally movies and programs run longer than 2 hours]; but that is really the only significant criticism I have. Granted, the image quality beyond 2 hour mode is increasingly poor [4 hour mode looks comparable to EP mode VHS], but with blank discs available in bulk for about 20 CENTS a piece, that's not a huge complaint [unless you just have to have a miniseries on one disc for some reason]. The remote control is very generic and the button layout is a bit awkward, but that's really a minor point.IMPORTANT NOTE..... I see some reviewers have posted disc speed issues and brand compatibility complaints; but I can report that I have used currently available discs from Memorex, TDK, and Windata [which is the CHEAPEST brand available at the Micro Center store chain] with NO recording problems whatsoever in either of my two units - regardless of whether it's a "write" or "re-write" disc!ALSO, although both of my units display "8x" stickers on the rear panel, I bought and had already recorded to 16x discs with no problems before I even noticed. Why doesn't it matter? I don't know, but my units record on 16x discs properly nevertheless!Do yourself a home entertainment favor.... pick up this bargain DVD recorder and kick your old VCR to the curb [you won't miss it]. I hope this info is useful.THANKS AMAZON! | 34 stars

Perfect combination of functionality and portability
I bought an Ultrapod about 15 years ago, before Amazon.com even existed. Since then, I've carried it all over the world. To me, it's the perfect combination of functionality portability. I've always managed to find some place to put it when I wanted to use it, whether on a rock or fence post or TV, or velcroed to a chair back or pole. Its featherweight and small size make it barely noticeable to carry, and since my current camera and case fit snugly, for the last 3 years I've velcroed it to the camera case strap. Just make sure you tighten the plastic/cork camera-screw-nut securely if you carry the Ultrapod around like that... I just recently lost it. The tripod works without it, and the Pedco people have sent me replacement nut for a small fee.Overall, a perfect product. I'm so delighted to find it on Amazon so I can give some as gifts. | 45 stars

Good Filter
I agree with other comments concerning the Tiffen 81A filter but not all. The effects of any filter can be performed by just about any decent software package that you can purchase today but that isn't some folks cup of tea. I would venture to say that most photographers on Amazon range from novice to intermediate, myself falling in that range somewhere.This filter is ideally suited to anyone not familiar or comfortable with the functions of white balance and how to set it manually on their camera. I would suggest anyone falling in that category and wanting to warm an image purchase this filter as it does exactly what it states it will do. Once you are comfortable with setting your white balance or obtain the software you need to do so, this filter will become obsolete for you.The build quality is decent and you won't have any issues with the product as it works as advertised. I had no issue with image vignetting using the 52mm version. Bottom line, it's a decent filter and does exactly as the manufacturer states. Enjoy! | 45 stars

Long term safe storage for DVD's & CD's
These are now very hard to find. Tyvek does not disintegrate, tear, rub off, or stick to optical media. Although there is a plastic window, the back side is all Tyvek, where it needs to be. Cardboard or paper storage envelopes will produce dust that can damage the laser side of disks. Plastic can stick to the laser side. Almost anything else is not as durable.If you want to store media for years, or if you use your disks heavily, this is your best choice. If not, the usual plastic or paper media will work fine. Store them in a storage box. | 45 stars

Suction cup plus...
For all of you out there sticking this suction cup directly on to your windshields... Did you notice the black disc with the red adhesive? THAT'S what's supposed to go onto the windshield. Then the suction cup goes on to THAT. Result: NO problems, even in the hottest weather. | 45 stars

Great boom box, BUT. Forgot and left it out in the rain and forgot to unplug it. Opps. Fried all the electronics, my bad. Ordering a new one as we speak. Do what I say, and not what I do, and unplug it in the rain and use the batteries. | 34 stars

good Buy
Finally I got to try to use this new mouse, it's very cool and when I received this, I couldn't wait to open the package, plug it and then in just few second, I am already set! This mouse has nice shape too, which fits my hand perfectly. Now it's only for 19.99 bucks, price is going little bit down and I think it's a great buy. I used to have a wheel mouse but it (is bad)! This one don't need to be cleaned, Very nice and convenient! highly recommended | 45 stars

No More Earbuds!
I been a big fan of these headphones from way back when they used to come with the sony walkman cassette players .I Honestly tried to use the earbuds that came with my Iphone , but they keep falling out !Also I wear them at work so if I need to her what is going on around me or have a quick conversation I can quickly drop them down around my neck.They sound great! and you dont look like your wearing headphones because they are black . I highly recommend ! | 34 stars

Can't Complete the Order
I have tried repeatedly to order the Canon Powershot SD600 to no avail. It boasts if your order it you can also receive the Canon PIXMA iP6210D Photo Printer free. It gives a promotional number of MKS27AHD to receive this. Every time I complete putting the 2 items in my cart and get ready to check out, it comes up with an error has been made in my promotional number. I would call someone if I could but there's no one to ask, so I have written this. Would someone please post an answer in this column or call me, Terry 361-578-9090. Thank you. | 45 stars

The Best FM Transmitter I have used
ipod FM transmitters are a hit or miss issue. You can judge that easily from the evidently polarised ratings it has. With over 70 1 star reviews, I really had to think twice before ordering this product. But am really grateful that I did order this product.To use the cliche, yes, It works like a charm. I had no static, no sound quality problems or signal strength issues. I drive a 2003 Toyota Corolla, and have also tested it on a few rental American cars, and am yet to have a bad experience with this product.I haven't used the famous guidelines given in Eric Williams' review yet,because the need has not arisen. I am using stereo sound, and using it in the US mode, and it is yet to give any problems.Having used two other transmitters in the past with poor results, am very satisfied with the Griffin iTrip Auto FM Transmitter and Auto Charger | 45 stars

Cheap, highly functional MP3 player.
The FM receiver is extremely insensitive. You practically have to climb the transmitter mast and skewer the thing on the antenna in order to get it to receive a decent signal. Other than that, it's great. Battery life is about 2 weeks or so playing MP3s at reasonable volume for 4 hours a day. Sound quality is better than expected for something packaged in a tiny block of molded plastic. You will probably want better headphones than the ones that come with it, but the included ones are good for working out with, since you really won't care if you get them sweaty. Of course, it would be better with more storage. It is extremely lightweight. Having owned a number of personal stereo type devices over the years, this is the only one that I consistently use. The reason is that the size and weight make it convenient to be wired for sound nearly anywhere at any time. I can easily stick it in any pocket while wearing the earphones, and forget that it is there. (Aside from the fact that it is playing music in my ears.) | 45 stars

Decent.
I have owned this cap for a little over a year now. I bought this item for 2 reasons, Price and reviews. Overall I am happy with this item. It is installed on my wife's 2007 Chrysler PT Cruiser. A little bit about my set up.I am running one of the Yellow top gel cell optimum batteries.I have a JVC flip out 7 inch screenI have a boss stand alone dvd player (Does not skip with alot of bass)I have a 15 inch flip down monitor2 7 in headrest screens2 10.2 inch visor screens.I have new 6.5's in all doors (three way)I have a 350 watt boss amp for mids and highsI have a 1500 watt 2 channel (Forget brand name sorry)I also have HID headlight, led's for brake, leds around car and under.Stock this car has a very small 75amp alternator. No where near enough power for what all I have done. Saddly replacing the alternator is not an easy task due to its location.Before installing this item anything pass half volume would cause the car to act like dying.Now I can run it at 3/4 with lights dimming and not having alot of issues.I do recommend this product for anyone looking for a cap. For its price you can't beat it. I believe I've paid less than $50.00 for it. | 34 stars

Under Win2K / Great as Long as You Remember 2 Things
This review is for Windows 2000.This is a great little device as long as you remember two things.1. It likes to occupy the higher drive letters (like "d", "e", "f", & "g"). I had quite a few mapped drives that occupied those spots, and had to move them to lower letters for the device to show up.2. When you delete off the card, you need to wait a little bit. It shows that it deleted the data very quickly off of windows Explorer, but it's actually taking a little longer to complete the deletion off of the card. I got around this by just reformatting the card each time I reinsert it back into my camera.Otherwise, it's great - it plays nice in Windows - I have tried hooking it up to my USB port directly or through a USB hub w/o any problems.There seems to be a lot of complaints for this device and I think it has to do with an over-expectation problem. These devices are largely kludgey by design, but at the crux of it, it works as it's supposed to - transfers data accurately w/o errors. | 34 stars

Junk

Good stuff
These admittedly dinky-looking headphones give surprisingly good sound. Bass is full and the rest of the frequency spectrum is nothing to sneeze at. Since statistically speaking you are like most people, you'll be plugging these into either an MP3 player full of badly-ripped, low-bitrate compressed audio tracks or else a crummy portable CD player with an extremely noisy potentiometer for a volume control. Buying better than these perfectly respectable headphones would be a waste of money.The Sportapros fold up too, which makes them great for a coat pocket. Also, the headband can fold in such a way that the headphones look like "street-style" headphones that are oh-so-popular these days. This makes them clamp on your head a bit more, but it can't possibly be any less comfortable than any other headphones in such a configuration. I think it looks stupid that way, but hey, if that's your cup of tea so be it.As for noise isolation, these don't offer much. If you really don't want to hear the subway along with your gangsta rap, you should be looking at a pair of noise-cancelling phones or better yet in-ear headphones such as those made by Etymotics. (The latter are a few times the price of the Sportapros on the bottom end, mind you.)It even comes with a fake leather bag that I keep laundry money in. (Keeping a set of headphones this inexpensive in such a bag is just screaming "I have OCD!") Bottom line, this is the best pair of portable headphones you can buy for the price. They don't sound worse than the low-end Sennheisers in this price range, for example, and they are quite a bit smaller. | 34 stars

Got Bass?
Well, this is my first day using these earphones, and I'm pretty impressed so far. The bass comming from these babies is PHENOMENAL! Almost sounds like my car haha. Compared to my Boss Triports and Sennheiser CX300s, the highs comming from these aren't anything too special, but if your current earphones are lacking in bass, get a pair of these V-Modas and you won't be disappointed. | 45 stars

Fun, but anemic
I've had varying success with my Solio. Took me awhile to get a hang of the device's fickleness, but I'm able to successfully (albeit partially) charge my iPhone (which needs charging at least every other day).The trick is that it really takes me two full days of leaving the Solio out in the sun to get a full charge. Their site claims "Charging Solio's internal battery takes 8-10 hours of direct sunlight." I haven't found that to be the case. I really need TWO days to fully charge the device. Of course, if I didn't have a life, I could change the placement of the charger throughout the day to point directly at the sun as it moves through the sky, and this would probably get close to a full charge in a normal day.When the Solio DOES fully charge, I only get about 1/2 to 3/4 charge to my iPhone, and not more. So two days of work for maybe a work's day of usage for the iPhone. Better than nothing, but not something I'd depend my life on...In short, I'd describe the Solio as "fun, but anemic". The device actually works and charges devices, but I probably save more money and benefit the environment more by hanging my clothes out to dry (instead of using the dryer) then getting 1/2 charge for my iPhone every couple of days. | 23 stars

Not Compaible with older MAC OS
I'm sure someone else has written this as there are 685 other reviews, but I neglected to read the fine print on OS requirements -- and this new Classic will not operate on my perfectly fine MAC OS 10.3.9 -- which means I am bascially forced to upgrade to Leopard. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but it's an extra $129 I had not planned on just to use an IPOD. (My old IPOD -- which died, ran fine on my old OS.) | 34 stars

Cheap piece of plastic
Good reviews must be from Belking people. Absolutely, the single worst object that I'd ever bought. Poor desing. I hurt my fingers with the blades trying to open the plastic legs. You can't use it on your lap. ----- Las críticas positivas deben ser de gente de Belkin. El peor objeto que jamás haya comprado. Diseño marginal. Tratando de abrir la base de plástico, terminé metiendo el dedo en el aspa. No puedes utilizarlo para las piernas o en la cama, porque la base se cierra. Sólo de un lado tiene base de goma, la tapita de plástico no tiene, así que puede rayar la mesa, la piel o lo que sea. | 01 star

Manufacturer out of business
I purchased these speakers from Amazon and immediately had problems with the charging of the batteries I purchased for them. the indicator lights on both speakers didn't work properly - then stopped working entirely. So, I have no idea if they are charging. This was one of the main reasons I purchased these speakers. When I called the manufacturer, I was referred to several different companies, including Audiovoxx, AB Tech Services, and Thompson, Inc. I got no response from Thompson, surprisingly rude responses from AB Tech Services, and Audiovoxx kept referring me elsewhere, stating that they had nothing to do with these speakers. I finally called a number I was given and was told that the manufacturer of these speakers was Recoton and they had gone bankrupt due to their policy of "giving lifetime warranty on their speakers." So, regardless of the quality of these speakers, I can't find anyone to take responsibility for their warranty or repair. Had I known this, I certainly would not have purchased these speakers. The quality of the speakers was good in the beginning. Now, I've noticed a marked decrease in their clarity - especially at higher volume. I only use these inside and with my receiver set to "flat" mode, so the signal they are getting is very mild. I have also noticed that I get regular static regardless of what channel I am on. The distance of the speakers to the transmitter is between 6 and 22 feet - with no obstructions in between (no walls or anything). If you are considering buying these speakers, please find someone who will honor their warranty first. | 12 stars

it was free and still not worth it.
I ordered a Coby cassette adapter and they sent me this Griffin model instead. When I wrote the merchant back they told me to keep it and they would refund my money...Huh?.. I just want them to send me the model I ordered. The Coby has a replaceable cord and from past experience, it is always the cord or the jack that goes out. Anyway, until they send me what I ordered or refund my money, I figured I'd try out the Griffin anyway. I knew from the reviews that this thing was not going to work well. I was getting sound only from one side of my stereo and so I wiggled the jack and the sound started cutting in and out. I could never get a good clean sound from it. Junk for sure. | 01 star

The volume knob broke, rendering the device useless
Hi,I have had a Rio Carbon for 6 months. Its a great little player - it has everything you need, great user interface, and just works perfectly.Unfortunately, I dropped it, and the volume dial broke off and pushed inside the device. Considering the volume knob is on one corner, there is a 25% chance that if you drop the device, it will render it useless by breaking off the volume dial. The volume dial is not very robust, and is the only sensitive part on a device which is otherwise very robust.The Rio has a rubber strip around 60% of its exterior - all other times I had dropped it, it landed on the rubber strip, with absolutely no damage.I now have an expensive paperweight, I can't really do a lot with it, as theres no way to change the volume without the volume knob.A firmware upgrade to allow you to change the volume from the menu system would fix this problem.In the mean time, I will have to consider purchasing another MP3 player. A pity, as the player is perfect apart from this glaring fault. | 23 stars

Worked perfect for my treadmill
Just got a new Treadmill in which I placed it in my 4th bedroom of my home. When turning it in, it caused the power to immediately go out. A normal surge protector did not work... Shopped around and no one could seem to have a product to make the treadmill work. Googled online and found another review on this product with the same situation so I purchased it immediately. I am happy to say it has worked! Thank you to the previous review for helping me! | 45 stars

Excellent quality, easy to use; cheaper at Sony
[Note: I have the white version of D-NE320, but feature-wise and operation-wise, the different versions are identical. Hope my review and price tip help you.]Even though I love my Sony NW-HD3 20GB MP3 player, when I listen to my beloved classical music collection, I still much prefer CDs, since when it comes to sound quality, MP3 simply cannot match the original CD recording. This Sony CD player is great for classical music (as well as jazz and vocals, or anything that an audiophile loves). You can feed the output to a high-end amplifier and get unbeatable sound. Or use a good pair of headphones.This CD/MP3 player is also great for books-on-CDs. Ripping CD audiobooks is a pain and a tedious process. So it's simply easier to listen to the CDs direcly, and this lightweight, stylish, easy-to-use CD player is just PERFECT for that. And it runs for days on a single AA battery. (Hint: get Panasonic's new Oxyride AA batteries for double the life of even the best alkalines.)I just love this portable CD player. If you are also an audiophile or an audiobook lover, this is perfect for your needs.The only minor gripe is the player doesn't support WMA, which would have been even more fantastic for ripped audiobooks (better quality, smaller files). MP3 still takes too much space at the usual 128kbps bitrate. If I were to rip, I'd want to rip into 48kbps WMA and would still get great sound quality. (But I don't have the patience to rip anyway...)BTW, this player (and the black version) are actually cheaper on Sony's consumer website, sonystyle dot com, where it sells for $49.95. I should have checked there first.UPDATE: I was happy to discover that the inline remote control that comes with the D-NE320 also works on my Sony NW-HD3 20GB MP3 player. Awesome! | 45 stars

Great Value
I bought this camera to replace a Fuji that I received with my Dell laptop about a year ago. I had abused it horribly taking it all sorts of places and it was starting to die.I received this camera the day before we went on vacation in Florida. I took a whole bunch of pictures of birds (my passion) and my family and was VERY impressed by the picture quality.Battery life seems quite good, I would say based on my impression, the best of the 3 digital cameras I've owned. (Note that I don't use flash a whole lot.)It is easy to pull out of the box and start shooting and get good results, but there is enough "under the hood" to make me look forward to really getting to know this camera.The 10x optical zoom is great for nature photography. I just had some prints made of some of my photos--the first digital photos I've liked enough to do so with.From the cameras I looked at, this one is in a class by itself for it's price range. I was looking at $100 more in any other brand to get comprable features. | 45 stars

Great little camcorder/camera hybrid.
This camera is unreal! People have been saying the photos come out blurry, but actually you get this type of blur with all digital cameras if you have movement. I have tried the high end Sony and Cannon 8mp cameras and they have the same type of blur during movement.All I have to say is the pics come out unreal. I have a 6mp (interpolated)digital camera, the pics on that thing come out crisp but if you zoom a couple times it's all pixelated. When I take pics with the DSCM1 you can zoom in crop it and it's not pixellated at all.The video is unreal it's about 2/3 of DVD quality.I expected a whole lot less and got a whole lot more.The bad? It only comes with 32 megs of storage.You have to upgrade to at least 1G. | 45 stars

Nice Add-On for a 5.1 or 7.1 System

Best bang for the buck you're going to find.
I seriously doubt you'll find a camera in this price range that can do everything this one does. Extremely sharp lens (although serious purple fringing is present in certain conditions), full manual control(or partial, or full-auto), manual zoom (which means you can zoom in movie mode, also saves batteries), manual or auto focus, 2 macro modes, and very good high iso performance.The perfect choice for the serious amateur photographer (or beginner looking to get serious) who doesn't want to carry around a DSLR and a bunch of lenses. DSLR quality shots can be produced if you know how to use this camera. | 45 stars

Sharp Lens, but flawed
Probably the best thing about this lens is that it is almost up to par with Olympus. At best, it is sharp, with beautiful bokeh, etc, etc. Typical quality we expect from Leica-like optics (this isn't really a leica lens, but as close as you can get from Panaasonic's factories.) The bad thing is that it is not nearly as well built as Olympus. No moisture protection, so with an E-3 not a great fit. Also, it suffered from the all-too-typical "Zoom Lock" problem. A screw gets loose and it won't zoom past 25mm or so. It was a fairly easy fix, but not for everyone. A little irritating for a lens costing this much. If you suffer from this problem, please search out on the internet for the repair instructions. The fix is available for the brave ones out there. That having been said, I do like this lens. Just not as much as my spectacular 12-60mm or 11-22, which are almost bullet-proof. | 34 stars

Great receiver for the price.
There is not a better receiver out there for the price. I've shopped around and this receiver gives you the bang for your buck. I recently replaced my Denon AVR-1804, which is also a great receiver, for this Onkyo for the Dolby HD surround. I have noticed some reviews stating sparks came from the unit. I have ran the receiver for hours straight with no problems. The people stating sparks from the unit might not have enough ventilation for the unit or they could be over heating the amp by not matching the ohms impedance load of their speakers. This can be adjusted under the speaker settings menu. It's a great buy for a tight budget audiophile. I'm running Paradigm Reference series speakers for my fronts and center, B&W's for my surrounds and a 10" Velodyne sub. | 45 stars

Canon BP-511 Battery Pack
This is an excellent product and works in the canon G1, G2, and the D30 - I have a G2 and D30 and exchange batteries at will - caution, do not charge these batteries (Li-ion) unless they are run down completely - not to be confused with nicad's but these will go south if you top them off i.e. they are 1/2 charged and you have a habit of fully charging them. Either run them down or get a battery cycler. | 45 stars

This is a great product. It has clear voice and very little back groundhiss. It is perfect for what I needed it for. Being able to extend thetape to 3X times the length of the cassette. I record church classes andsermons. Later I record from the tape to a CD to sell to others who want the material. I looked at other recorders and even purchased one fromanother source on the internet. I was glad I was able to return it as ithad sever back ground hiss and nobody was going to purchase anything from that recorder. I am very happy with this recorder and would recommend itto others. | 45 stars

Great media player!
The Zune is really a wonderful product. As compared to the iPod, I love the bigger screen, user interface, and higher quality headphones. The Zune software is a dream compared to Apple's poorly written Quicktime/iTunes. If you are on the fence about the brown color, don't worry! It's beautiful in real life. I am actually sad that they redesigned it for the 80 gig :-(Microsoft is awesome about updating this product! As soon as you plug it in, you can update it to the latest firmware which gives it almost all the same functionality of the newer 80 gig, including the cool new UI.My only complaints are A) No way to use it as a plug and play hard drive. B) No way to connect it to an Apple computer. | 45 stars

So far, so good!
I've read a few complaints on this unit while researching for a new DVD recorder but must say, mine seems to be ok. (knock on wood) I've given it a good workout in the month I've owned it and it did all I asked of it. I love being able to record to the hard drive before commiting to a disc. I used to waste alot of discs when I would record a movie I wasn't sure I'd want to keep. Now I can watch it and if I like it, burn a copy, if not, just delete it! This is the way it should be!The only down side is I had to buy a new TV as my old one (Sylvania) didn't have a viewing channel that would work with this. All of my old VHS & my last DVD player all operated on channel 3 but this one need to be played on a video source channel. (which most have)As long as it lasts for a reasonable amount of time, I'll be 100% happy with it. Here's hoping... | 45 stars

All tools here are great but one.
Punch punches but doesn't have cutting side? Both directions of punch are identical and pushing wire into keystone it pops wire into slot but has no cutting action in either direction so I have ordered a replacement tool that will be used in place of this one. Great tool if just re-popping telephone cable box connections due to oxidation type maintenance. | 34 stars

Nice picture whenworking
After having this product for 5 months, the picture went dead and volume wasn't always working. Kept taking longer and longer to actually turn on and I could only tell this when the volume was working since picture was already out. Called Syntax customer service and they notified me I had to ship my old tv back to them so they could look at it. Took 3 weeks for them to ship the tv back (with a different remote, not sure why). Worked like normal again for about 2 days. Volume doesn't always work. But I didn't bother to call syntax back since it was a pain. I recommend not buying this tv or buying a very long warranty from the store. Looking for another tv and spending the extra money for a better brand, like LG or Sony). | 12 stars

Great Deal Stainless Steel Presto Pressure Cooker
I saw this same identical 6qt pressure cooker priced else where for $99.00. I'd been keeping an eye open for a good price on a stainless steel pressure cooker. If you go with aluminum, it won't be as quality an item. The 6qt is the perfect size in my opinion for average size families. Very pleased with it and it also includes a booklet of instructions and some recipes. Very pleased with this item. | 45 stars

A review after I've owned it for 2 years!
I didn't realize that I had forgotten to review this product! I've owned it now for over two years. I am still using it, and it works like new as far as I can tell. It has a soft white light on the front of it, which isn't offensive like some brightly colored lights I've seen on some other external hard drives. It installed easily (plug it in and go). It works transparently--haven't noticed any speed problems. I use it mainly to store my music library, which I play while working on my computer. I'm not sure what else I can say other than I have transported it a few times. I don't think it has been knocked around too much in the process, but all the same it is still working; so, what more can I say? I'm happy with it! | 45 stars
