Perfect
Wanted a handsome, small, horizontal, unobtrusive, tan camera case with a secure belt loop for my new little Elph and this is it. Reasonably priced too with free shipping. | 1positive

Saves you alot of money!
As we all know the Xbox controller wastes batteries fast. And it costs way too much to keep buying batteries over again!So you can get this! You will save so much.It plugs into your controller and your Xbox to charge the battery. Then you can unplug it or just play while it plugs in. Works great! | 1positive

Crosley recorder
Very nice cabinet, good quality sound from both the unit and the recorded CD. Easy to use and record. One problem with the recorded CD music format is that it is unrecognizable if one wants to make other CD's. It must be converted to say Mp3 or others and requires additional computer software. Overall, I believe its a great buy | 1positive

Poor fit and fidelity
I purchased these earbud earphones based on what I read in the other reviews. I regularly listen to audiobooks during my commute on a city bus. The sound of the bus would sometimes overpower the standard earbuds that came with the Creative Nano Plus player. I wanted to isolate the player's sound by keeping it out of my ears. I thought the silicon inserts would do that. Unfortunately, none of the 3 sized of inserts would fit my ears.The reason for the 2 star review is that the sound level was about half that of my old Sony earbuds and the ones that came with the player. This was regardless of which silicon insert was used. Low volume and poor bass and treble. I therefore returned them. That was a great surprise!!I went back into my Amazon order and told them I wanted to return them. That took me to a return page where I selected the reason for the return from a drop down list. It then proceeded to tell me to print a displayed page that provided POSTAGE PAID labels to affix to the original box. Simply did that and gave it to the post office. Voila, returned to Amazon without expense and Amazon has once again amazed me with their attention to customer needs. | 0negative

Good cup of coffee.....short life span.
Consumers Reports recommended this coffee maker...a "Best Buy", so I bought it. It was a good, basic coffee maker. It also took less ground coffee than other makers, to make a decent cup of coffee. The coffee was hot and stayed hot in the carafe, which I liked. I didn't have many of the other problems that people had. Mine just quit one day. It was working perfectly the day prior. I would expect a "Best Buy" to last longer than 15 months. I notice it's still on the market....and also $5 higher. I can't recommend this product. | 0negative

I love this device, but the price hike is ridiculous
I love this device. It has good fidelity at office volumes, it is crazy portable, and it fits anywhere. Even at medium-high volume, it can fill a moderate sized room with no distortion. Not much bass at higher volumes, but what do you expect. The one star, however, is for the ridiculous price hike on this item. I bought this exact item three months ago for $36. And no, I'm not mixing up models; I got to this page by clicking the item name in the old order after I went to check the price. At $36, this was a fantastic deal, and an absolute no-brainer best available for the price. Up near $100, it starts to have a lot of company. And seriously, the chutzpah to jack the price by 100% is out of hand. | 0negative

Great price....Great unit........
I've owned an Infocus X1 for 3 or 4 years now. Besides the color wheel noise that happened last year, it was always a great projector. Infocus repaired the unit under warranty and even upgraded my firmware so I had more features. Recently I decided that I'd like to buy something new since the extended warranty period was up on the X1.Let me tell you, this IN24 is mind numbingly better than the X1 and the price is outrageously low for such a unit. The fan is a lot quieter in comparison and the images are a bit brighter. Overall, I'm happy with this unit. I really like the housing on this projector. Although it's still plastic, it seems a lot more sturdy.I just wish they would add horizontal and vertical image editing for the video 1 input. | 1positive

Kindle Battery Life
I absolutely love my Kindle, but I, too, am not 100% pleased with the battery life. My husband gave me my Kindle for Christmas. I immediately charged it up and played with it for an hour or so, but I had just started a "paper" book and wanted to finish it before reading on my Kindle. By the time I got back to using my Kindle, the battery was already dead. I charged it up again, bought a few new bestsellers, and proceeded to read. The second charge seemed to last forever..probably 16 to 20 hours of usage over the course of 3 days...so I thought the first experience was a fluke. The next charge lasted a long time also. But, I charged it up this past weekend, read for a few hours, shut it off at 50% power and the next day when I turned it on, the battery power was almost at zero. At this rate, my battery won't last the 3 months everyone else seems to be getting. I'm definitely going to get in line for a replacement battery or two. | 1positive

don't do it!
Screen disappeared in the first 3 months...sent it in for repair after numerous support calls. Got it back with no further warranty, within the 9 months it failed again. Support would not honor the repair. Not a good product, not a good company. | 0negative

great until the screen went black
If I didn't love this player, I wouldn't be so upset that it only lasted for two months before the screen stopped displaying while I was charging it. I've had 3 creative mp3 players; all seemed like a great deal when I bought them, two of the three died prematurely due to no mishandling on my part. It's so sad that Creative doesn't want to stand behind its products -- I think I'd be willing to pay a bit extra for a player that would last at least a year. | 0negative

Description and Condition were very poor
This unit arrived in a shrink wrapped plain white box with the model number GR-BC3 sticker on the box and the product. However, the one I got looks very much different than the one on the Amazon web site. Additionally, it came with two AAA Duracell batteries already installed, and LEAKING! Residue from the leak had stained through to the outside of the battery compartment. It is as if this was a return or factory refurb shipped out without any thought of quality control. | 0negative

Compact camera, decent/good for up-close still images only.
The camera is small and lightweight. The battery is pretty good.The menu is not user friendly. For someone who is unwilling to read a camera manual, or someone who isn't familiar with most cameras, the camera is a pain. The interface is not intuative-- at ALL. I say that as a "techie."The camera has problems with shutter speed. There is a serious, problemic lag between photos. I have to hold the camera for at least several seconds for the image not to be blurred. It's ruined many photos for me. Even my 5+ year old digital camera doesn't blur photos and have such a horrible lag as this.Usually I like Samsung products, but I'm dissapointed with the performance of this item. I say that haven't used it nearly 1.5 years now. I wish I had purchased something else. Perhaps at the time of purchase, it was an "ok" camera, but now.. it's behind on so many levels. Even when it first came out, CNet gave it a rather bad review.If you find it cheap, and don't want to take action shots-- such as someone posing for you (hah!) for 10 seconds or longer, it could work for you. The shutter lag is a huge issue. I can't express this enough. The image quality-- when it actually doesn't blur the photos-- is okay. It's not stellar, not great, but decent. I plan on getting something else in the near future. | 0negative

Print head problems
The printer is great while it works, no question about it. Quite fast, good quality. I mostly used it for black&white documents so I cannot say much. BUT DON'T BUY IT since in 15 months time the print head died, and of course it was out of warranty. Funny how the all electonics die right after their warranties expire... Anyway, I think Canon has discnontinued this model (no wonder) so that makes me just one more unlucky victim. | 0negative

disgruntled, and embarrassed
I love Canon products. I love the zoombrowser software. I LOVED my S200 digital elph. So I upgraded..I bought 2 S500's, and had 3 friends buy one with me, (including my girlfriend). I am embarrased to say, the pics aren't very good. I am a photographer, and have tried every manual feature on this camera to try and improve the pictures. They rarily turn out sharp, and it is very hard NOT to wash the pics out with the flash (even with the pre-flash feature). The 5MP doesn't seem to matter. BTW, turn off the zone focus and go center weighted, the zone focus will drive you nuts picking the wrong subjects. I called canon, and they think I'm wrong, but I'm not. I have defended it to my unhappy friends- but not anymore. E-bay here I come... Anyone know of a good, compact digital camera? | 0negative

Great Camera
To tell you the truth, the DX3600 is an absolutely great camera for the price. The first praise for the camera would have to be its image quality. The quality is excellent. I printed out an 8 by 10 photo and was utterly surprised by the detail in the picture. The optical zoom is great too, it dosen't degrade the quality of the pic at all. I wouldn't recommed using the digital zoom option. Though most people say that the flash could be stronger, I think that the flash is great. It creates the perfect lighting without burnout (Super white in the middle of the piture) like many digital cameras do. The movie mode is an awesome added bonus to the camera. You need to have good lighting to film in movie mode. I'd also recommend getting at least a 32mb flash card. With it, you can take up to 49 highest quality pictures. The menus of the camera are simple, making the camera easy enough to use to where a 7 year old could operate it. It's the perfect family camera. The battery life is about 150 pictures with RAYOVAC 1600mAh rechargeable batteries. The camera is made of plastic, yet I'm surprised at how sturdy it is. I was carrying much things in my hands including the camera when the camera fell 3 or 4 feet onto my tile floor. I examined it an found no scratch, dent or crack. I then tried it out and it still worked like a charm. Thank you Kodak.My only complaint for this camera is that it induces much noise into the picture when the flash is not used in low light conditions.Overall, I think that this camera deserves a 5 star rating for its ease of use, quality, and durability. | 1positive

For gym time... I love these!!

Great price with amazing picture clarity!!
I was looking for a photo frame that would showcase my friends childhood pictures at their wedding reception. This frame looked very elegant next to the cake and the card box and the guests loved it!! The 100 pictures that I scanned in were so clear and bright and the set up took barley no time. Additionally it came with a feature that you can download music into the frame and play while the pictures are being displayed, so far I uploaded 5 songs but I think there was room for even more! Great price with amazing picture clarity!! | 1positive

Creates new scratches, didn't fix the old ones

Terrible Picture quality!
I owned this tv for about six months and I realized that enough was enough! The picture on this set is just horrible, the blacks aren't even black and the color is just abysmal! As time went on, I began thinking that I had made one of the worst purchases ever! The picture on this tv is average when there is lots of light in a scene, but watch dark content material and it is terrible! I now switched to a Panasonic TH-42PX60U, and that plasma has it going on! Great contrast, color, black levels! It is just plain beautiful, sure you may pay more but it is worth it! HD content is out of this world and the image is so lifelike. The image on the toshiba is just dull and lifeless, it could never compare to my panny plasma. | 0negative

Neat package but very grainy indoor quality
Things I like...- price- sizeThing I didn't like and made me return- performance under regular indoor house lighting very grainy and considerably worse than my 8mm analog. Doing further research it appears this is likely not unique to Canon but common to DV camcorders. I am going to stick with my 8mm for a couple of years until DV tech improves since much of my use is indoors filming kids, etc. | 0negative

Epson CX5400 problems
I have had an Epson CX5400 for a little over a year and it just died. While it was working it was able to print photos and text at a decent quality, but it was terriblely slow. I called Epson to help troubleshoot my problem and they pretty much told me that the problem was caused by leaving the computer turn on when it was not in use. This was my first time hearing of this causing the problem. I believe I'm going to replace it with something different. | 0negative

Not worth the money
This unit would not play 90% of my DVD's. You would be watching the movie and all of a sudden it would just stop and freeze, then jump ahead anywhere from 20 to 40 minutes more into the movie. Other times all of a sudden the top half of the screen would go black and the bottom half would be a mumble, jumble of pixels. I tried hooking it up to two other different brands of TV's in my house and it did the same on all of them. I wouldn't recommend this combo to a dead dog. Needless to say I returned it and exchanged it for a different make. | 0negative

Simply awful
DO NOT BUY THESE!!! Wow, I wasn't expecting much for $10 but was I ever disappointed. These earphones are garbage. The sound quality is embarrassingly bad. The little plastic pieces to help them stay in your ear are paper-thin and feel as though they will fall off at any second. I thought it would be nice to try them out since they had so many good reviews, but clearly the people giving these earphones any rating above 2 stars must have incredibly low standards when it comes to how they listen to their music. Spend a little bit extra and get some higher quality earphones. It's totally worth it. | 0negative

Fantastic choice for portable electronics
I have had many headphones for my various mp3 players over the years. Ear buds, large over the ear headphones, and headphones like these that rest on the ear. I have tried them in price ranges from low $20 to around $150. These to me are the best headphones so far, excellent value.The sound is amazing. The speaker pads are so thin and light I wasn't expecting the sound to be more than good...but wow. Rich, full, discriminating with different instruments really accurate sound.The comfort and size are also perfect for me. I can never quite get ear-bud headphones to fit just right. And I wanted something smaller than my audio-technica over the ear headphones. Well these fit the bill. No trying to get the best fit and have them stay in with ear-buds. And small enough and light-weight enough to wear comfortably for a long time.One small negative they do bleed a bit of sound out. So you might have to go a bit below your preferred sound level if using in a work environment. Other than that, virtually the perfect headphones for portable devices and at a really good value point. | 1positive

OK
I bought this one for the quality of Lenevo products, for probably the highest total price, $12.57(listed price plus shipping and handling), among its peer products. It matches with my room design, being white and grey. I was worried when I received it. Its wrapping materials feel thinner than Belkins. But I am satisfied so far as it seems durable. I use it to connect my computer that is in the bed room from a ethernet port in another room. It is lied just under my bedroom door. I closed the door several times a today and there is not even a scratch on the wrapping material. So I guess it is again a high-tech staff, thin but stronge. | 1positive

HP OJ 6310 AIO
The HP OJ 6310 AIO Printer would print, but would not scan photos or documents. After hours on the telephone with a technician in India, he gave up and promised that another technician would call me. No one ever did. So, I really don't feel that I can recommend the printer to anyone. | 0negative

Belkin Easy Transfer cable for Windows VISTA

Picture quality and price outweighs bulkiness and grating sound
I bought this lens just to capture a moon shot (a newb had to do it). I did a comparison with Sigma and Canon but since I am a cheap-o I settled with this one. Under optimal conditions, i.e. clear sky, preferred moon phase, use of tripod and shutter release cable, the photo that I captured is pretty impressive. The details of the moons' surface is remarkable and there is very little chromatic aberration. I live in Seattle where the rain never stops and so when it is cloudy or foggy at night, the shots that I captured would need a whole lot of post-processing.I've also tried it using the macro mode and boy it produces silky smooth bokeh! I've yet to experiment more on this feature.The down side is this lens is really heavy and huge. DSLR cameras are bulky and this lens adds up to the bulkiness. Don't get too frustrated though. The quality of pictures you get outweighs this disadvantage imo.Overall, I think it is worth the price and a good upgrade from your kit lens. | 1positive

Maxtor One-Touch Died After 18 Months
My 300 GB external hard drive crashed after 18 months.When I called Maxtor.com, I found out that they had been bought by Seagate. Furthermore, I was out of warranty and would have to use a data retrieval company if I wanted to try and rescue my data (minimum $1,000).Their warranty is to replace the drive...meaning your data is lost. | 0negative

I really like this camera!
I've only had the camera two days, but I'm already enjoying it. I was a little nonplussed to have buttons on the side that are on the back of my 995, but the focus is better, and it takes closeups (at the farthest focal length without going past what's between the W----T. I learned with the 995, and this one is the same, that if you go to 1X, 2X or 4X, etc., you'd better have the camera on a tripod. My 995 doesn't go on a tripod, and it doesn't even have a place to plug in a remote control switch, so I'm glad that this one does. :) I'm going to enjoy this camera very much. | 1positive

Map Rip-Off
The maps that this comes with are useless. The maps you have to buy for it are very expensive (can easily cost more then the unit itself). When you buy the maps, you don't really own them. They can only be used in that one GPS. If you buy a new GPS, you have to buy the same maps again (not cheep) for each unit.I bought a second one of this model Garmin GPS unit and was expecting to use my basic road maps ($125) on both. I had to pay ($99) to get a code to put them on the second unit. | 0negative

Avoid Averatec
I bought an Averatec 3150H notebook in January. The first one had defective battery and I returned it. The replacement had problems with screen, I sent it in for repairs and it's now been in their repair shop for over two months waiting for parts. Averatec product quality is inferior and their service is non-existent. Don't waste your money on this brand. | 0negative

Attachment cannot attached!!
The reason I chose this one was because of the 3 attached parts, they looked great and useful. But turned out those cannot be attached. All three always falled down after ~15 seconds, so no use at all. This dryer is a little heavy but acceptable because the air is powerful enough to make the hair dry fast. Overall, I am very disappointed for the "special features". Its design has a major problem, should make it just as the bottle top.Updates 2/21/11After 7 months, it is not "hot" enough, just a little more than warm. My old travel dryer is even better than this. | 0negative

SURPRISE!!! No Warranty
I purchased this product new and within 6 months it developed a dark vertical line along the right side of the screen. I contacted tech support and was told the case would be elevated and someone would contact me. 6 weeks later I had heard from no one so I called again and was told someone would contact me. Within three days I received a call to tell me that they would not honor the warranty because there were no known casses of this failure with this unit. The bottom line is... Trashy product, trashy service and there really isn't a warranty. Each phone call requires about 1 hour to sit on hold to eventually speak to someone. | 0negative

DO NOT BUY
I recently purchased these, about 1 month ago, and the left speaker blew out all ready!! The cord has torn. Just do not buy these. The sound is really not that great. The only nice feature is how it looks. What a waste, I can't get a refund or a replacement. Not what I expected from 85 dollar earbuds. | 0negative

DO NOT BUY
I bought this product and could not install it. I could not login the device to configure it (I taught a data networking class at graduate level, so I know quite a bit about networking). I called the US customer service for D-Link and when I was getting closer to tecnical support the volume dropped at the call center and could not hear a word (this happend 4 times). I then called the Canada Call Center for 2 hours, every 15 minutes, and it was always busy. Bad product. Bad support from D-Link (assume very little help if you run into problems with products from this company). My suggestion is to try Linksys, it has worked for me fine. | 0negative

Tank
I've had this mouse roughly 5 years now (as of 2007) and have bought Logitech and other branded mice since. This is still the only mouse I haven't had a single problem with. It's survived 5 moves, 4 of which were rather abusive to it. I call it Tank and I feel this mouse is the single most under appreciated mouse ever manufactured. This mouse is defiantly on my personal "best hardware of the decade" list. | 1positive

Stock Ipod Phones Are Better
I needed a pair of headphones for exercising that didn't fall out like the stock Ipod ones do so I ordered these. I switched back and forth between these and the Ipod brand and these have less bass and a very "canned" AM radio midrange sound. They do have excellent highs but it is very fatiguing to the ear mostly biting highs.I never heard of Ultimate Ears before and this explains why. They really aren't good. | 0negative

Not Impressed
I am not impressed with this frame. I purchased it as a gift and gave it, but if I had ordered it for myself I probably would have returned it. It does not do a random show, so it will only play the pictures in the order they are saved on the card. Oh well. I own a frame around the same price from a different company that is much better. | 0negative

This is the one to have!!
One of the reviews on line(gpsinformation.net) says this is the most accurate consumer handheld unit they have ever tested !!Make sure to get the cable to connect to your PC, so you can update the firmware online. Mine had version 3.0 installed- the first thing to do is update to ver. 5.0 before you enter waypoints, as you will loose them. What a difference 5.0 makes-gives you more screens, seems to increase the sensitivity, which lets it pick up more satellites, even picks up WAAS corrections inside the house, in front of a window that faces the wrong way!!I purchased the topo sofware (haven't recieved it yet)to supplement the base map. I heard it's not that great, but with the rebate, it was cheap enough to try.Might even go geocaching this weekend. Just because I can!! | 1positive

Highly Recomend!!
When I first got my iPod for my birthday a little over a year ago I also got the iTrip to play it in my car. At first it seemed to be a clever little device that plugged into the bottom of the iPod and transmitted my music without needing any additional wires or power (it uses the iPod's power). I did, however, have all the cables and everything to charge my iPod while the iTrip was in. After a while of plugging in and unplugging the charger cable from the bottom of the iTrip the connection broke and got pushed into the iTrip itself. I was no longer able to charge my iPod while playing it in my car which was really not a good thing for those long drives. In addition to that I was constantly fighting with the thing. Since it used the iPod's batter to power itself there was no "for sure" way to turn it on. I'd plug it in and turn my iPod on and nothing would happen. So I'd turn the iPod off, unplug the iTrip, turn the iPod on, plug it back in, push play and it would start. However this was never a sure way to turn it on. It seemed very random and never turned on the same way. Sometimes I'd just give up and go music-less.Now to get to the point. This Kensington FM Transmitter has NEVER given me any problems. I would have to say the best part of this thing is that it's just one device to charge and transmit your music over FM radio and still gives you the freedom to move your iPod around. One thing I liked about the iTrip is if someone in the back seat wanted to pick the next song you could just hand it to them with no wires attached. It's quality was very poor though. This Kensington transmitter has a long enough cord to still be able to do that and THE BEST part of this transmitter is that it is instantly powered on when you turn your car on. No more having to fight with the thing to get it to turn on. You turn your key and it's ready to go. Just plug in your iPod and hit the Play/Pause button.If you're looking at different transmitters and aren't sure which one to get, I highly recommend getting this one. You won't regret it. It's a bit pricey but it's well worth it. | 1positive

May not work with XP SP3
I am quite disappointed that I was unable to set up this WMB54G bridge. I spent close to 4 hours on my own unsuccessfully trying to set up this bridge with my Linksys WRT54G router using both my desktop and my laptop. I contacted Linksys tech support and worked with a junior level rep for about an hour with no success. My second contact with Linksys Tech Support was the result of a follow-up call initiated by Linksys. I spoke with a Senior Tech who advised me that WMB54G compatibility with XP Service Pack 3 could be problematic. I then relinquished control of my computer to another Linksys tech that specialized in the WMB54G. The tech took over control of my computer for 45 minutes to an hour trying unsuccessfully to setup the bridge. After updating theLinksys WMB54G Wireless-G Music Bridgefirmware he was unable to continue to access the bridge web based setup page. At that point he considered the bridge defective and offered to provide an RMA for a free replacement. Because of other poor reviews and possible compatibility issues with XP SP3, I have decided to cut my losses (only $25.00) and return the bridge for whatever refund I can get. Even though they were not successful I give very high marks to the second level Linksys support for their follow-up and trouble shooting. The senor technician (Rico) that worked with me thoroughly knew the music bridge and wireless technology. | 0negative

Don't buy this piece of junk
I purchased the iriver IFP-795T several months ago. When I installed the software, it causes my keyboard to be disabled... there's some type of a driver incompatibility problem. The only resolution was to reinstall the original driver set. This is a repeatable compatibility problem.I've tried contacting iRriver multiple times for resolution to get it to work with my PC. They are totally unresponsive.In the meantime, I have a choice... use my MP3 player or use my keyboard. Some choice!I can accept that there's an incompatibilty problem. What I can't accept is that iRiver won't help me fix it. They won't even respond to my messages.This product is junk. Don't buy it if you have any doubts about compatibility with your equipment. | 0negative

My Camera SD450 Digital ELPH (5M) is just 15 months old.. Upon searchingfrom the web, a lot of Canon customers have this E18 error, which pertainsto the lens not extending/retracting properly.. I wasted my money on this.I thought Canon is a good brand for cameras, apparently not! | 0negative

Another DISSATISFIED Customer!
Like many of the reviews you see here, I too became a victim of this router and have always been a faithful Netgear user. Brand new, NUMEROUS, NUMEROUS frustrating calls to God knows where in India... I'm done. I can buy a brand new router (not sure I'm going with Netgear after all these years) for what they're charging me to return the router, not to mention the HOURS of my time spent in trying to troubleshoot, upgrade firmware, etc., etc.BUYERS BEWARE!!! Netgear RangeMax Next WNR854T is a defective router right out of the box. From what I've read here, if yours works out of the box it won't be long before it's dead! Gave it one star because the system won't let me give it zero. | 0negative

No slip true, Heat protection not exactly!
Well the non slip part is true. However the heat protection is only partial. the computer still gets warm and the heat seeps through to the bottom, and on to your lap. So it is only partially fulfilling its description. | 0negative

Nice camera, nice value.
This camera is a very nice item for snapshots as well as some more sophisticatied photography. Reasonable price. Good 4x optical zoom, which is better than most. Large and fairly bright screen for composing and reviewing photos. What I really like, with my aging eyes is, when you change modes, the way it briefly displays a large icon on the screen identifying the new setting. The icon then fades to its smaller size and peripheral location. Older Canons didn't do this. | 1positive

Caveat Emptor
Bought these terrific, comfortable in-ear phones--- which worked perfectly until one earbud died. After hours trying to figure out how to contact them online or by phone, I called and was told they couldn't do anything without the original receipt. Why is that? Isn't the product instantly identifiable as their own? No such BS on the same issue with Apple, they issued a replacement on the spot. Now I have an expensive, single earphone, and Monster just lost a customer. | 0negative

Very limited reaching area.
If you like to do a Family Picture with you on it and trying to get on the right side of the picture view - most of the time it will not work (on D90). It won't work from side or behind aether. (Infrared signal have to be directed strictly to the Infra Red sensor area.) | 0negative

No stars (or negative stars!) would be a better rating!
This Apex model broke after about a month. Because it was still under warranty, we sent it back to Apex for repair or replacement, following all the instructions. This was five months ago, and after numerous attempts--including a registered letter to the company's president--we have given up trying to get a working DVD player out of Apex. This is the most appalling customer service I have ever experienced anywhere!Unless you have a burning desire to donate money to the Apex company, you would be wise to take your business elsewhere! | 0negative

Excellent alternative to external devices
Plug and play worked beautifully. Having had experience with the LinkStations, I expected this one to be just as slow. I was pleasantly surprised at the transfer/access speed, and the ease of installation, configuration and use. My only regret is that I only purchased one when they were on sale. | 1positive

Excellent speaker system, but consider an extended warranty
I received my ProMedia Ultra 5.1 system as an exchange from Klipsch when my old ProMedia 5.1 system died. The old ProMedia 5.1 system had a design flaw that resulted in a lot of systems with a dead subwoofer and is no longer being produced. The Ultra 5.1 is a replacement and Klipsch has listened carefully to a lot of complaints about the old system and made improvements.I have had the system up and running for a little over a month now and here are my thoughts:The sound quality is amazing. Just like the original ProMedia 5.1 system, I have yet to hear a PC speaker system that has the same clarity and life-like sound.The sub-woofer is far more powerful and will rattle loose objects off shelves. I love my bass and have found that the subwoofer in this system gives me more than I can handle.The control unit for the system has been re-designed. It is now wide rather than tall and as a consequence is a lot easier to control. The volume knob is a lot less twitchy than the old unit and I can actually get the headphone socket to work, something I never could do with my old ProMedia 5.1 system.So why does the title of my review ask you to consider an extended warranty? Based on my experience (and the experience of many other people who had their ProMedia 5.1 system die on them), I would suggest that you get an extended warranty so that, if anything does go wrong, you can get a replacement from the store without having to spend 2 months working with Klipsch to get a replacement.I have no evidence to say that this system is going to fail on you, but for the money you will be paying for this system, a few extra dollars for peace of mind seems like a bargain. | 1positive

Excellent bang for your buck
If you are looking for a video card upgrade from a standard PCI or AGP card (or, heavens forbid, onboard video), this is one of the best values out there for early 2007. My requirements were that it must cost less than $200 and still run new games like Quake 4 smoothly. This card does both. There may be cards that run a few frames faster (for another hundred bucks or more), but I get excellent video performance with this card and doubt I could tell the difference. It installed easily and driver setup was without a hitch. It is a very quiet card which I really appreciate as well.Two things to note. This card is compatible with DirectX 9.0c which is what you need for the newest games as of this writing (like Quake 4). However, there is a new DirectX 10 coming out this spring and if you want to run it, you may need a newer card for that. Since there aren't really any programs that utilize DirectX 10 yet, I'm not overly concerned, but if you want the absolute newest technology you may want to wait a few more months. Another thing to note is that this is a PCI Express card, not a PCI card. Make sure that you have a PCI Express (often noted as PCI-E) slot on your motherboard before you buy this, and make sure that your power supply is compatible. It requires a minimum 350 watt power supply which must have a PCI-E connector to power the card. If your power supply doesn't meet the specs, it's an easy upgrade for $30-$35. | 1positive

Great VCR for the money
(...) This VCR is packed with great features (like VCR+ silver and commercial advance) and has great picture quality even when using my rabbit ears antenna (no cable!). When researching VCR's, I found that the Panasonic name was at the top in terms of reliability. Put that together with the features and it was a no-brainer for me. Great VCR...no regrets. | 1positive

Zeiss = not always great
I thought this would be my "be all end all" monocular, and it seemed to have a lot going for it; light weight, nice objective size, alleged Zeiss quality, etc., but what a disappointment. The optics are not great. Chromatic abberations are reasonably well corrected, but the image suffers from softness at the edge of the field and is not terribly impressive. IMHO, it is nowhere near what I would expect from Zeiss. Admittedly, I am a bit of an optics freak, but this means that I have a good basis for comparison (Nikon, Tele Vue, Leica). I ended up selling this monocular to a backpacker, and I hope he is enjoying it, but for me this thing just didn't cut it, and I would imagine anyone else with a discriminating eye would feel the same way. | 0negative

Not a good value
This cd player skips so easily it's incredible. Do not buy this cd if you plan on walking/running or anything mobil. If you do not plan on being mobile then it may be worth the trouble especially if you want a cheap am/fm radio. | 0negative

Absolutely Horrible Microphone - For Gaming
I found this headset on sale for $20 at Target and thought it would be a bargain. Turns out to be better a headphone and a headset. I used a Logitech USB Headset 250 to play Left 4 Dead before the cord broke resulting in bad connectivity to hear anything on the right ear. This headset however uses a mic and speaker jack.Microphone is my biggest reason for owning a headset and it is the worst I've ever purchased. The length of the microphone from ear to mouth is short of probably 1-2cm away from the edge of your lip. In other words the only way to pick up any voice is to shove it into your mouth - which you'd have to sacrifice not having the headset over your right ear. And even speaking into the microphone directly, it picks up at a low volume despite maxing the settings on Left 4 Dead and Microsoft Windows. Blowing into it picks it up great. Yelling or speaking loudly into the microphone is the only way to have teammates in Left 4 Dead. Speaking at a normal tone to a person two feet in front of you is at an unrecognizable sound level because of this crap headset. | 0negative

Whoa
I must say I am surprised this camera is still so expensive after the amount of years I've owned this. I bought this camera brand new from Walmart for $250. I think this was almost 9-10 years ago. It still works after all these years, but I'm planning on investing on a Canon t2i Rebel as a low end upgrade very soon for some mess around photo taking hobby. This camera has served its purpose for a long time & even though i don't really use it no more because of the lag time it takes to take a snapshot of a picture, canon's quality is by far the best that I have seen. | 1positive

Terrible Product
I brought this converter to London with me. First off, it is way too heavy so it sags from the outlet and frequently falls out. In addition the prongs become bent because of the weight. I used this only a few times before it stopped working, not a clue why. When I buy another one I will be purchasing a different brand. | 0negative

The microphone is horrible.
I bought this today (not from amazon, sorry.) and the icrophone reaches to the corner of my mouth. You would think that would be enough, but as the title says; the microphone is horrible. Even from at hte corner of my mouth it cannot pick up any sound. I have all of my microhpone levels maxed, and people still just hear a faint hum of the microphone transmitting, but no voice. I got this for online gaming, but I cannot say a thing without having to take my hands away from the mouse and keyboard, taking the headset off, and putting the microphone practically in my mouth; but even then it's a very quiet voice that's getting transmitted. However the sound quality I think is great, and even with minimal padding I can wear this headset for quite a while because that headband doesn't have much spring to it, so the pressure is almost non-existant. If you want a cheap headset, mostly for listening and not so much for talking this is a fine one. However if you plan to talk more than... well, at all pretty much, then you should probably look at something with a flexible microphone neck. | 0negative

Maxell cd-r Pro series
These Maxell cds came in a great shape. No damage box. I had purchased two of them. They can be hard to find in the stores. I have used them and they have a great quality. I know the price is a great price. I will order them again when I need more of them. I use them for saving my photos. They stay true to the colors and they are very clear. I like the idea also that they have extra protection for nonscratching. This is a very strong decision when I want my photos on the cds to last. I would highly recommend these cds. Maxell has done a great job. They were delivered very quickly. I also would rate this company who I ordered with a five star for packaging and delivery. | 1positive

An excellent mp3 player
Well...the 10 dollar, 512 mp3 player i bought just died. I discovered that i actually listen to music a lot on the go.I chose this one because I wanted more space (2GB), something that ran on rechargeable AAA batteries, and something that was a little bit more quality construction-wise than my last.GOOD THINGS:-NO noticeable system noise (using shure E2C headphones)-Easy "playlist" selection. select play by album or by artist or play all. I haven't experimented with true playlist support because i don't use playlists-drag and drop file transfer and i think it supports the sync thing with WMP 11....but who uses WMP these days...-Decent clickability of buttons. Other reviews are right, it feels flimsy, but its not going to break.-the cheap plastic case does its job, but not with style. I don't care how it looks though because its in my pocket all the time.-recordings sound good.-good menu structure.BAD THINGS:-no USB attachment except via the provided cord.-the screen is a bit harder to read than my last mp3 player-expensive compared to those cheapy models that i like to buy 8) | 1positive

External 2.5 IDE HDD Enclosure case
Worked exactly as advertised right out of the box, no additional software required. Took less time to assemble that it's taking to write this review. Allowed me to recover the data from my blue-screened laptop. Case seems pretty lightweight, so long-term use may be sketchy especially if it gets dropped ( the sleeve that comes free with the case is too lightweight to help much if the unit is dropped). But, the cost was EXCELLENT, delivery was right on time and best of all the unit performed as expected. Overall, a great value, even if perhaps questionable for long-term use. | 1positive

Stock Antenna works better than this.
I bought this with hope that I would improve the range of my Alfa AWUS036H... With my initial tests, it's worse than the antenna that came with the Alfa. Disappointing as this will go on the junk pile. The antenna unscrews from the base and it would seem that this could be reused for some other radio project. Perhaps could be used for a homebrew CAN-tenna? May be worth the $10 shipped afterall. | 0negative

Mostly works
Instead of the genuine Sony pretail package, I got a chinese knockoff adapter wrapped up in a piece of paper. The card itself seems to be genuine Sony. It doesn't always record like it should, giving me a "no card" error off and on for a second or two. But eventually it runs OK and I can take a picture. Reading it on the computer seems to be fine. I never take it out of its adapter.The camera was a gift, as I would never buy anything from Sony that uses proprietary formats, like this stupid Memory Stick. This stick was a pretty good deal at only twice the cost of a SD card. | 1positive

Good at first...but doesn't last long
I'll admit this review is a little dated since this product isn't in the market anymore, but I was shocked to see how many GOOD reviews it had. I've had this laptop for a little over three years now, and since then, I've gone through two hard-drives with another about to die, and the cd-burner/dvd-rom hasn't worked well since about the second month of purchase. I've never gotten any games (even the low-end graphics ones) to work on here. It also seems like this system is highly vulnerable to viruses. I don't think that is just due to windows because I have other windows systems that have not had near as many viruses as this one. I think the only thing that's had me keeping this system is the floppy drive, since the newer computers don't have those.If for some reason you are thinking of buying this product: DON'T! You won't get great tech support on it and you'll just gain more frustrations. | 0negative

Keys and unit could be larger
While I should have been more cognizant of the scale of this product from the picture on this detail page, I had envisioned it as more of an ergonomic piece that I could wrap my fingers around and type with my thumbs. Unfortunately, it feels about 80% of the size I was hoping it would be. The keys are tactile, as they are raised, but they're just slightly too small for thumb typing at a better rate than hunting and pecking with the onscreen keyboard. The advantage of the mini keyboard is that, unlike the fullsize keyboards, you don't need a flat surface on which to type. However, the iPaq feels slightly unbalanced in the too-small unit and, rather than using the unit to support the iPaq, I find myself resting the iPaq on a desktop or on my lap. In summary, the typing speed gain isn't significant enough for me to recommend this unit to everyone given it's hefty price tag. | 0negative

Displeased with Item
I am the new owner of a aluratek 4 port hub. Sad to say that when I plug it into my computer while plugged into external power it shorts my usb connector and shuts down any of my 3 pc's. I suspect it is just a defective unit. I'm not going to worry about sending back, just get another one down the road. Also the cord on this thing is so short it's useless. I am very displeased with this device. I will add that it does run my portable hard drive and charge my phone at the same time w/ no external power source. | 0negative

Best Creative Product Ever!
The state of affairs regarding laptop audio quality is awful. Laptop manufacturers cut corners in every way they can to reduce cost. They assume customers will be satisfied with average or below-average audio performance. Buying a laptop that has high quality audio "out-of-the-box" is near impossible. Even if you have a high-end laptop, the audio output is usually plagued by system noise, poor volume levels, and poor frequency response.By installing a Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS Notebook Sound Card you will be entering the playing field of decent laptop audio. I was immediately impressed with the audio quality after the simple installation process. Creative has finally streamlined the software portion of the installation so system clutter is minimal. I chose a "custom" installation so I could avoid certain software components.Plugging in headphones proved to be a delightful experience. This card produces a depth and volume output level that is rich and satisfying. In terms of audio output it outperforms any portable MP3 player I have ever used. It blows away Creative's very own Zen Nano Plus, and also outperforms Apple's iPod by leaps and bounds. This little card has major "ooomph!". The low low bass frequencies are strong and punchy. Your average laptop or portable MP3 player would require a separate headphone amp to have the audio depth and power this product has all by itself. Wiring this card into my main stereo was just as impressive.I think laptops should already have this level of audio quality, but until they do I consider this product a "must". | 1positive
