3 comments about Zune Sync Cable.
- It's exactly like the sync cable that came with the Zune, and it comes in handy if you connect to an XBOX 360, AC charger, dock or whatever, but still want to always have a cable connected to the computer. $19.99 is a little pricy for what it is.
- Overpriced for what it is, but it is a fairly durable cable if you needed an extra one.
- I was a bit ticked off to see this advertised for twenty dollars. Look around for three minutes and you'll find a generic one for four.

5 comments about Griffin RocketFM / FM Transmitter for Mac and PC Computers.
- Simply doesn't work 25 feet away and through one wall. Like listening to AM radio in 1971. Static. Static... Static...
Don't waste your money.
I have thrown it away.
- My indoor stereo has a large dipole FM antenna yet when the Griffin RocketFM is a mere 15 feet away and in line-of-sight the reception is not clear.
- Simple to set up and works like a charm. Very little static-most of the time it is very clear. Seems to depend on what electronic equipment is operating around it at the time. For the price, a good buy.
- Noticed that it may not come on instantly if a song is already playing. But just click on pause/stop and then will transmit once signal begins again. Works great from my laptop to my FM receiver in family room about 15 feet away. (I have external FM antenna in back of receiver so don't know if that makes a difference.) Reception/quality of audio is good. Guy at Circuit City was amazed I could get this at this price and best they could offer was a different brand transmitter for ipods at about $40.
- I had low expectations for this product but thought for the price it would be worth trying. I was pleasantly surprised. We receive the signal approximately forty feet away from our computer and the sound is as good as any other FM station. I had to change the frequency from the default setting (using the software provided) and adjust the output volume on our computer. As other viewers had suggested, I extended the copper antenna from inside the Rocket transmitter (it can be easily opened without using tools). After making these adjustments, the sound quality is very good and we're able to enjoy the many free internet options for music, news, etc. It's well worth the price!

4 comments about TomTom Car Charger for GO Navigators (9A00.001).
- It does what it is suppose to do. What more can I say about a low tech device?
- This item was advertiesed as working with a TomTom One. I selected it from the TomTom One "accessories". It DOES NOT work with TomTom One. Wrong plug style. Probably works fine for the appropriate device.
- This product is advertised as if it will fit every GO Navigator out there. I had to return mine because it was not compatible with my 700 GO. However, I must compliment Amazon on how they handled my return. They sent me an email with a return postage pick up and instructions on how to return it at their expense. I received a full credit to my credit card account. From now on, I will have no hesitation to order from Amazon because of their customer sensitivity and service.
- THE CHARGER IS GREAT BUT WE HAVEN'T BEEN HAPPY WITH THE TOM TOM RIDER 2 SICE WE GOT IT. WE GOT IT IN THE WINTER AND DIDN'T USE IT MUCH UNTIL THE WEATHER WARMED SO WE THOUGHT IT WAS JUST A LEARNING TO USE PROBLEM. AFTER ALL SUMMER IT STILL SUCKS!

5 comments about C. Crane FMT Digital FM Transmitter with AC Adapter.
- The out-of-box range of the C. Crane FM Transmitter is about 5 feet and then you start getting a lot of static. To fix this:
1. Remove the three screws(two under the rubber bumps and one under the battery) and then peel back the case making sure you don't break the red and black battery wires.
2. Locate the two variable resistors labelled VR1(the input level roller) and VR2(attached to the board and adjusted with a screwdriver).
3. Break off the input level roller and you will notice two metal pieces sticking out of the board that hold on the roller and one metal piece above those which connects the contact from the board to the wheel.
4. Solder the single metal contact protruding from the board to the two metal circles inside the VR1, commonly known as a pot. This will bypass the variable resistor and maximize your signal.
5. With the C. Crane FM Transmitter still in two pieces, plug in and turn on the C. Crane FM Transmitter and tune an FM radio to the same frequency as the FM Transmitter and play some audio music.
6. Using a screwdriver, turn the VR2 in any direction and stop when the music is the loudest and clearest.
7. Put the FM Transmitter back together with the 3 screws and then you are done!
This has been tested at 60 feet and the audio was clear with no static.

- First one worked O.K. for a short time. I had to return it. Amazon was the best at taking this Item back. I received a fresh one right away and is working fine. I am very pleased with my purchase and with Amazon.
- Did the modification before I even tried using. This works great with a range of at least 27 feet.
Thinking about buying another for work.
- I tested all tuners I have at home, some VERY sensitive and receiving stations from 60 miles away. Range of this unit in best case was about 1 meter (3 ft). Returned to Amazon the same day I got it
- I've tried most of the FM transmitters and this one by far has the most versatility, particularly when you extend the range by tweaking the power pot. I've used it both in my home and in a variety of vehicles.
But I have to confess that I now use the iRiver for my vehicles since it powers off the lighter power source. But the iRiver is a bit touchy in setting the frequency and I suspect the range is a bit lacking when comparied to the CCrane unit.

5 comments about Sennheiser HD-515 Audiophile 500 Series Headphones.
- Awesome. I heard notes in songs I loved for years, that I never heard before. Even better after the quick burn in period.
- pretty nice.
Not as crisp as one would expect when it comes to voices, however, overall very very nice.
- First off, if you are looking for noise-canceling headphones, you are looking in the wrong place. These are open-back headphones -- meaning they will let all sound in and out... they are NOT built to be noise-canceling. And if you are looking for iPod or other MP3 player headphones, again, wrong place.
But if you're looking for headphones to use for home listening that have amazing sound quality and are super-comfortable, you're in the right spot! These are great.
- My Autistic son is receiving vestibular therapy and these headphones are pretty much the best in the market, they fit comfortably and are light.
- Bought these about eight months ago to replace my wireless sennheiser phones that didn't work.
These sounded good, but not that good. Not for the price. Strong bass, clear sound, comfortable fit, and excellent sudo-surround. I just think Sennheiser could do better for the price. The bass isn't as clear as it could be, or quite as strong, and they won't get as loud as I would like. Although, they probably get loud enough for most reasonable people.

5 comments about E-System Travel D-SLR Gadget Bag.
- This product was exactly as stated.
The Wife loved it.
Keep up the good work.
- I bought this bag when it was $30.00 plus shipping on Amazon. Now it is only $7.00. It is a great price but understand this is a very small bag. I don't know what others are talking about. I also have the E-510 and I can fit only the camera and the second lens. I cannot put in my Flash in the bag. You are better off buying a photopack. If you want just a bag to put your camera in, this will work. However, you may end up selling yours at ebay like I did to get a better and bigger bag for your DSLR.
- I felt compelled to write a review because some people would have you believe this camera is a snug fit for an E510 body alone! Here's a list of what I fit into it, make your own decisions. I have my E510 body with OM adapter and 50mm lens attached. On the side of that I put my 14-42mm and my 40-150 BOTH plus I set another legacy lens (the OM 28mm 2.8) on top of the 14-42mm. In the mesh pouch on the inside I fit my spare lens caps, a lens cloth, an extra CF card and the cases for the CF and XD cards which live inside my camera. I feel that if I had to I could put something else in the bag on the camera side of the separation. Maybe a small flash, maybe another OM or other small 4/3 lens.
I have a great Tamron bag that I use when I'm shooting. I bought THIS bag because of the low price and the fact that it fit nicely in my backpack. On a plus side for travelers, there are TWO clasps in order to get to your camera. Theres one in the front and one on the strap that hugs the top of the case. No one will be able to just unclip and run with this thing. It's small, yes, but sometimes small is what you want or need.
- The Amazon label given to this bag is misleading. There is an Olympus Travel bag but it is quite a bit larger than the bag which was delivered. The quality of the bag is okay and it might be priced at $25 in a retail camera store. My problem with the purchase from Willoughby's is that it was an egregious case of bait and switch. The picture they used for the bag was of an expensive Lowepro "Stealth Reporter" bag, which Willoughby's claimed was worth over $90, which is, indeed, the price of a low-end "Stealth Reporter." Willoughby's price for the Olympus "Gadget Bag" was great, about $9.00, but the advertising they used to sell it was the worst kind of con game.
- This is a nice item, but only worth the discounted price I paid for it. The implication was that this was discounted from $70-80. Not likely. It was not big enough for one Olympus DSLR body with one lens. I could get the camera in, but it was a struggle.
Im disappointed that Amazon let this slip through as such a great deal.
It was not!

3 comments about Ritek Ridata White Inkjet Hub Printable 52X CD-R Blank Media 50 Pack.
- How's about this? A low cost CDR Media that doesn't make frisbies!
Kermit the frog should pop up somewhere and yell "Yaaaaaaaayyyy!"
:D
I've gone through 200 (four spindles) of these and so far I've had 1 coaster. Add to this the fact that they're white and UV resistant and you've got a long lasting CD here.
I'm also burning them at 52x with not one hiccup.
The plain white top allows for easy printing or sharpie writing too.
Now, as with other non-music disks you may need to adjust your speed down if you're burning Music CDs because older players won't be able to read @ 52x burns.
Data CDs you can burn as fast as your little drive will carry you.
Your tags: cheap cds, cheap cdr media, cheap cdr
- I received the printable cd-r's promptly and in excellent condition. I have already used 1 pack of 50 and have had no problems with the printing or burning of the cd's.
- For reasons unexplained, it has suddenly become near impossible to find plain white CD-Rs in most brick and mortar retailers, leaving you with gaudy, logo-covered discs or nothing at all. Luckily, even with shipping costs included, these Ridata CD-Rs are still just as cheap as going to the store and buying a much uglier alternative. They burn great and the clean label is perfect for printing or decorating by hand with Sharpies. If these disappear too, i don't know what i'd do. Make ugly CDs, i guess.

3 comments about HDMI to Mini HDMI F/M Adapter.
- Once I cut away part of the casing with a dremel tool, it fit my Canon HG10 HD Video camera. Works fine, but with the adapter and the standard hdmi cable end, it's really too big, I am afraid the weight will cause premature wear of the Mini HDMI port on the camera. I will keep this in the camera bag for an emergency, but I will probably get a regular HDMI to Mini HDMI cable for my primary camera connection.
- The adapter would not fit unto my Canon Vixia camcorder. Just too big on the mini HDMI side. Unlike another buyer posting here, i really dont want to spend time 'filing' the adapter to size..
PLUS, the adapter they send me is NOT the same on the picture. Mine is rectangular, not tapered as the one in the illustration.
- The item I received did not match the picture on Amazon.com. The picture shows a connector thinner at the mini HDMI end. The items (I ordered two) I received are the same width at the mini HDMI end and the HDMI end. Consequently they do not fit my Canon camcorder. Attempts to file the end to make it fit revealed metal. Using the filed down connecter results in audio dropouts. Totally useless.
