5 comments about Ultimate Ears Super.fi 4vi Earphones / Headset (iPhone Compatible).
- Yes it's true even though they died after only 6 weeks light daily use I was going to get another pair. I loved them, the sound, the way they fit in my ears, the look, the design everything. I thought I was just not careful enough but all the others say its the little wires inside get broken too easily. If I thought I could get them to last longer say at least 6 months I would get another pair. However, the other reviewers talked me out of that fantasy.
- The sound quality is rather average compared to my Shure EC4 or EC3s. The call answer/end button is hard to push. However, the biggest defect is that the earbuds don't stay on the drivers and often end up in my ears.
- These are great sounding, well-designed earphones. The only thing preventing them from a five star rating is the absence of a deep bass tone. These however are every bit worth the money!
- I have used Shure E3c and Bose quiet comfort headphones and like the price and performance of the UE 4vi. I really like the microphone and control integration. Any complaint about the button should be taken with a grain of salt. UE has redesigned the button so that it is a real button and not a membrane button. It works great. If you have used the iphone earphones, you'll understand how nice this control is.
The UE 4vi does a great job at blocking external sounds. This allows you to listen to your audio at a lower volume. The microphone works great. I use it on conference calls nearly every day and no one complains of noise. You will have to train yourself to talk at a normal level if you have the earphones in while talking. People will naturally speak louder when they can't hear themselves.
The more expensive ones are probably pretty nice, but I am glad that I saved myself a bit of money and went with this pair.
- This product is Ok - not worth the hype nor the money. They function fine but not the be all - end all that are advertised.

5 comments about SanDisk Silicone Case for Sansa m200 (Green).
- I have bought 3 of these for our MP3 players. 2 went to my 9 year old twins and 1 to my husband. There MP3 players have gone on vacations, car rides, to the beach ect and the cover has held up well. We use the MP3 players very regularly and even with the changing of batteries the covers seem to be doing well. We have had them for 7 months and no problems.
- This silicone case has a soft texturized feel. It also looks high-quality. It fits the player snuggly, which protects it just the way I want it to. The clip holds it securely no matter if I run or bump into anyone. If you are a clip wearer, you will love it!
- I purchased the case for my wifes MP3 player, it fit well and is thick enough to provide adiquite protection for the unit. Well worth the money.
- I strongly recomend getting the case not so much for protection but to keep arguements down over which player is which. Very good buy for the money.
- It works well and have had no problems. The clip stays on so well, that it is kind of difficult to remove at times. I'd rather have that and having it come off all the time. Good product.

5 comments about Apple In-Ear Headphones- M9394G/C.
- I bought them to replace a great pair of Sony's that sound great but have a poor cord design that has to go around the neck. I bought these an the Apple store and they are terrible. For those who have no trouble with them staying in your ears that's great but for me even using the smallest tips they not only don't go in far enough they keep popping out. They will be returned post haste.
- I purchased these to try to see if they might offer a more snug fit than the ones that came with the iPod. To my disappointment, the fit is about the same. But,the real shock was the poor sound quality. I compared the original phones with these many times, but this product sounds painfully tinny, and has very little full base and mid-range. Despite adjusting the iPod EQ to many settings, I couldn't get rid of the tinny sound.
- I bought this product so I can avoid outside noise. However; compared with the set of headphones that came with the unit, this headphone is inferior in sound. The speaker is much smaller and you lose quality, especially bass. Better to stick with something on line that comes with the unit that is larger in speaker size.
- Earphones fit well and are an improvement over the base headphones provided by Apple for the shuffle.
- Sounds good, but bad design. I ear holes happen to not fit any of those buds. =/

5 comments about ATLANTIC 1386 Wave Innovative Modern-Style Steel DVD Storage Tower.
- I guess it's decent considering the price, but it certainly didn't meet my expectations. I received it as a gift. When it arrived I was so excited to put it together right away. As one reviewer already mentioned, it defies assembly. The screws that connect the bottom part with the base are impossible to put in. Either the manufacturers didn't test the product at all or they tested with the incredible hulk. If there isn't a strong man in your household, I suggest you pass up on this one. And how come there's nothing to bolt the connection between the top part and the bottom part?
Having said that, it holds many DVDs and looks pretty nice. I guess you really get what you pay for.
- It took about 10 minutes to assemble this stand. I didn't have any problems other reviewers mentioned with the base plastic screws, although the included tool they give you is a little awkward. To install the wooden balls at the top of the stand I HAD to widen the holes; there was just no way they were going to fit over the metal rod any other way. Another reviwer recommended a utility knife which would work fine; I used a cordless drill with a bit just barely larger than the hole already there and that did the job.
If you have a box set where the actual box is a a little larger than the dvd case, it will have problems fitting in this stand: my Lord of the Rings box sets fit just fine, but for Star Wars and Indiana Jones I had to actually pull the metal rods apart and force the box set in.
Other than those minor issues, the stand serves it's purpose and looks great.
- The dvd stand was exactly what I ordered. If was in perfect condition. It arrived on time.
- I own seven of these DVD Waves. Great for an apartment where space is at a premium.
- This is great storage solution for my teenage daughter. She even had it put together before I got home. Nice shape in her new cool room too.

5 comments about Panasonic RP-CDHG15 High Speed HDMI Cable - 4.9ft (White).
- I have the ps3 and the new Samsung 58" plasma (wireless connectors). I bought the cheap HDMI cable, and it wouldn't work for every Blue Ray movies I own. For example, "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl" lost signals over and over again. So I went with the Panasonic HDMI cable. And it works like a charm. I set it at 1080p. Highly recommended. I'm buying another for my XBOX 360.
- Simply stated, this is a quality hdmi cable at a great price.
I have been using it a little over a year connecting my 46" Samsung tv and Sony BDS300 Blu ray player.
The picture and sound it channels is quite excellent.
Highly recommended.
- Good length, GREAT PRICE, No problems whatsoever... Do yourself a favor and get this, and next time you're in CC you can laugh when those poor salesman lie to you about how "superior" their $150 cables are (one of the biggest scams in home entertainment).
- It is after all just a cable, but I was replacing a cheaper, black HDMI cable for aesthetic reasons with this white one. Cable runs from Tivo HD to Samsung HD LCD monitor. Before switching to this cable, the image seemed to have trouble syncing up sometimes. I would see flashes on the screen, for example when making menu changes in Tivo. That seems to have cleared up since changing to this Panasonic. I have a number of other HDMI connections in other rooms, and all use Panasonic Label HDMI cables. They work great, and are not nearly as expensive as what you find at Best Buy or Circuit City. Plus, my wife is happy as the rest of the cables showing are white, as well as the TV itself.
- When I purchased my new 52 inch LCD tv, the salesman was pretty much trying to bully me into buying the very expensive HDMI cable from him. I knew I could get a much better deal on Amazon. After reading the reviews of many HDMIs, I bought the Panasonic and it's performed as good as the expensive one I had that was too short for our new tv setup.

5 comments about Belkin HDMI-to-HDMI Cable (4 feet).
- Comparable to Monster in quality however in my opinion a waist of money
as it seemingly does nothing that a $2.00 cable will not do.
- Outer shield is too hard and makes it difficult to wind and route in the space behind the elecronic equipment. Wish it was constructed of a softer material.
- I have owned my Belkin HDMI for about 6 months. In the past few weeks, I have noticed that the cable is falling out of the TV socket! Since it is mounted perfectly horizontal, I can only assume the cause to be all the excess weight of the very well insulated cable. I wonder if the even higher priced cables, with their "super" insulation have the same problem. Since HDMI is supposedly the BEST connection, why don't manufacturers insure a good connection with thumb screws or snaps at connections like computer manufacturers? ...just a thought! Anyway, I'm now using my cable providers' very light, vinyl clad HDMI, with just as good viewing results!
- This is my 1st HDMI cable purchase, so I didn't actually got to try other brands. My initial plan was to get a monster cable, but the price tag was unreasonable and besides other brands were close to the quality & performance.
As far as signal handling goes, I believe it's great. I'm using it to connect my PS3 and the picture is flawless.
My problem with this cable is that it lacks flexibility very much. You can't bend it or lay it down. It feels like it was made to go in straight lines only. No turns whatsoever.
If you're planning to use this cable for in wall cabling, I suggest considering other models. Belkin is a great brand by the way, but this cable in particular is not suitable for twisty stuff.
- I used this cable from my cable box DVR to my HD TV as recommended by
Amazon.com staff and it works great with a great picture quality.

1 comments about On Stage DS7200B Adjustable Desk Microphone Stand, Black.
- I purchased this microphone stand to use with a large diaphragm recording microphone in a shock mount. While it only functions moderately well for this purpose, as the base is not heavy enough to completely counterbalance the microphone and microphone mount, I would have to believe it was not designed for the purpose I am using it for, so I'm not judging it based on my "off-label" use.
That said, the base is plenty heavy enough to hold a lighter microphone, or a microphone who's weight is centered more over the staff of the stand. The manufacturing was flawless and the stand works exactly as advertised. Overall, this stand is good value for the money.

1 comments about Ethernet Cable, CAT5e - 50 ft White - Gold Plated Male to Male Connectors for Base-T Networks.
- If you need a long connection, you can pay easily upwards of $30 in a local store, but why pay more to get a molded plug 50 ft CAT5e cable? Even with shipping, it still saves one a lot of money.

5 comments about Monster Cable AICYP iSplitter Mini Y-Adapter for iPod and Mac.
- what more can i say other than allows two people to be entertained at once on my ipod touch. whether it's watching movies or tv shows or listening to music, whenever i have someone with me and we're on standby we will always be entertained.
- I've always been a big fan of Monster products. I use them for every electronic connection in my house. This quality of this little splitter is no exception. We used it recently on a vacation so my wife and I could watch movies on my iTouch. I've owned a couple of cheap splitters in the past and both sounded terrible. I was constantly adjusting the mini-plug to eliminate static noises. This one worked beautifully. We watched 6 movies together and didn't hear one peep of static. Spend the extra $$. It's worth it. As the adage goes, you get what you pay for. Thanks to Monster for another great product.
- The diameter of the hub for the jack inserting into the ipod is large enough that it hits the protective casing that I leave my ipod in (Speck --black rubber); as a result, the slightest false movement causes the jack to fall out of the ipod. Basically it doesn't stay securely in place, leading to interruptions in music listening, etc.
- Nice product that works well. No problems with volume or loss of sound quality. Happy with purchase.
- I spent a little extra for this splitter after reading the reviews but after receiving it I am somewhat disappointed. Both input sockets on the adapter I received are really loose. When I plug a stereo mini-jack into either input, there isn't a reassuring 'click' when fully inserted.
Pulling them out takes almost no effort as I found out after moving some cables around behind my computer (I'm using them to connect two computers to a single set of speakers). They're so lose that it's easy to accidentally pull the plug out of the socket!
I've tried plugs from different headphones/cables and they all demonstrate this, so it's not due to the plug; the sockets are just too loose. I'm hoping I just got a defective unit and Monster will warranty it, but as it stands right now, I can't recommend this item.
