3 comments about OtterBox 916-20.4 for iPod Touch Defender Case (Black/Black).
- Defender Semi-rugged Case for Otterbox Ipod Dfndr Touch
A superb product. I have dropped this and spilled water on it at the gym at least twenty times. Then it gets stuffed in a briefcase. Whatever tragedy befalls my poor iTouch, this case works perfectly and the unit always functions. I had no problems with the touchscreen and the cover is pretty scratch resistant.
- The case is very protective. It looks great, and has saved me from a few drops. All in all, I'm very happy with this case and I'd say it's the best case out for the iPod Touch.
Cons:
The clear membrane over the screen is terrible. The best thing I've done with this case was to rip that membrane out and add my own screen protector to the iPod. If you keep the membrane on, it's tricky to touch the screen edges, and the smooth feel of the iPod Touch just isn't there. If you're prone to liquid spills, then you will probably want the membrane.
This case will collect dust on the inside. It comes in through the hole for the light sensor. I added a bit of clear tape on the inside and that problem was fixed.
One other difficulty I've had is that the only docking you can do with this case is with the iPod cable that has the rounded edges. Square-edged cables or docks, will not work with this case. Being that it takes a little doing to get the iPod in and out of the case means that every time you want to dock it, you'll have to take both protective layers off first.
I hope these cons don't scare anyone. It really is an awesome case. I've had mine since the first day it was available and it still looks as good as new (minus the touch membrane).
- thanks, the item was perfect and cheaper than what we had found from the company online

5 comments about MOTOROLA BCS - HEADSET, H500 NICKEL BLUETOOTH.
- The Logitech Bluetooth headset that I had been using for 2 years broke and while waiting for the replacement part from Logitech I ordered this inexpensive Motorola for the meantime.
In my opinion it sounds much better then the Logitech, my callers said it sounds MUCH better on the other end, and it's smaller, lighter, and easier to put on/off.
It was also half the price of the Logitech. I can't imagine that the customer support is even close. Logitech has been by far the best company that I've had dealings with, but its just over $20! Great, and even better for the price!
- Headset was sent promptly, along with a charger and instruction booklet. It did not arrive in manufacturer packaging, but in bubble wrap. Works fine, though. No problems
- Pros: good sound, can hear clearly, cheap (under $30), good range, works with Skype and Windows Vista
Con's: haven't really found any except that it sticks out from your ear a little, but you can still hear good.
I have used it in the car, at home and outside in calm environments but not in noisy enviroments.
- Great value,
It came in Bulk packaging which I was fine with.
I have it for about 2 months and have had no problems.
- I sent the blutooth back didnt work after I charged it for 3 hours. Purcashed a new one from a different seller works fine. Had it for atleast 2 months.

2 comments about Panasonic RP-HV280 Portable Earbud Headphones with In-Cord Volume Control.
- I have tried most all brands of ear buds, including both open type that sit in outer ear and types that are built to seal off the ear canal (usually, those provide the most base if you can take the feeling of them in your ear). For those that sit in the outside of the year, these are among the best sounding ear buds I have ever heard. I only tried them because I had bought a Panasonic MP3 Player for my brother, and was startled by how excellent the sound was with the enclosed ear buds for the money. I have tried the ear buds (extensively) from Apple, Creative, iriver, Koss, JVC (Gummy), etc. These are better than any of those because of vastly superior base response for the open ear type of bud. All such buds work the best if you get and use the little foam covers for them. This pair comes with those, however, the ones you can get in a pack of four at Radio Shack are better(the covers, that is). These ear buds are excellent for 20 bucks, and sound better than any I know of that you can buy separately like this, of the open, sit in the outer ear type.
- This is definitely a great earphone for its price. I just got it today and it works great. The downside to it is that the volume control doesn't control the volume as well as it says. It does go from maximum volume to minimum volume, but it doesn't slide from maximum volume to mute as a regular volume control would. But you could always silent it on the cd player, iPod or computer. Anyway, works great!

3 comments about Belkin PureAV AV21300-50 50-Foot RF Coaxial Video Cable.
- I used this item to connect my TV to a cable wall outlet. Worked great!
- This appears to be a good quality cable. The sheathing is much more flexible than the more armored type, making it much easier to get this cable to conform to a circuitous route, if that is what you need. Conversely, it may make the cable more vulnerable to damage. The 50 foot run I am using does not appear to degrade the signal, at least to the naked eye.
- I've been using Belkin products for years from cable modems and wireless routers to USB, HDMI, mini stereo, ethernet cables and now these excellent RF coaxial cables. Like many Belkin products, it comes with their unbeatable lifetime warranty.They are built to last as well as provide high performance. Like their other products, this cable is very high quality using nitrogen-injected dielectric material and 24K gold plated connector ends with a yellow band for easy ID amongst other cables. I would easily stack up these Belkin cables next many of the Monster RF coaxial cables, but at a fraction of the price. Another feature worth mentioning is that rather being a rigid and stiff cable and sometimes difficult to connect, these cables have the proper amount of flexibility without being limp for simple connectivity .This is an excellent, economical investment in any home theatre system or whatever.
Amazon offers some really good prices on these puppies too.

5 comments about Shure E3c Sound Isolating Earphones.
- First off, these are fantastic headphones. I put 'em in and the world goes away. My office-mates on the phone? Gone. Girlfriend talking to her mother? Gone.
The sound is also very clear. Not too heavy on the bass, which is great. It's nice to be able to hear the words of Digable Planets, rather than just the beat.
I had to mess with the various tips to get the ones that fit correctly -- turns out I have 2 different sized ear canals. Who knew?
My only minor nit is that they feel a little funny. I'm not used to having something stuffed that far into my ears. When they're all the way in and no music's on I can hear my breathing, sometimes even my heartbeat -- and don't even try having a snack! Once the music comes on the internal noises fade into the background, but there's definitely a surreal moment (similar to scuba diving, for you divers out there).
All in all, fabulous headphones and I heartily recommend them.
- Okay, the sound on these ear buds is quite good, but if you're a commuter who expects these buds to stay in your ears for an hour or more as the cable is gently tugged and pulled by your jacket, arm or whatever, this is NOT the product for you!
If you're going to use this product in your favorite chair and not moving around much, then this just might be the product you seek.
I tried every ear fitting that comes with the ear buds and none of the options were able to keep the buds in place. Even the slightest tug of the cord caused the buds to pop out. VERY frustrating.
- I've had these headphones just over a year and have never been happy with them. The sound is great, there's no arguing about that, but my primary complaint is that they hurt my ears. None of the earpieces were comfortable, except the foam ones, and they get dirty quickly. Forget about wearing these earphones to the gym or doing any exercise with any of the earpieces. The gray earpieces actually slipped off in my ear when I removed the earbuds once. I got it out myself, but was still concerned.
My second complaint is that the volume is usually too loud. The lowest volume setting (above totally muted) on my computer and my iPod (two different models) is too loud when using these. I don't need excessive volume to hear.
Next, they didn't last. The left earbud just stopped working after a little over a year. At the price, I expected these to last several years. I wouldn't buy them again, nor would I recommend them.
- I hope that my comments will help anyone thinking of buying these earphones for their sound isolating ability. My Sennheiser earphones I have had for three years and love them. Recently, I sent them back for repair and decided to buy the Shure E3c as a substitute pair. They seem to have no sound isolating ability. I tried to create the best seal possible by trying various buds and the foams that came with them but without any increase in performance. Sound quality was OK but my $50 Bose are about the same. The cord is much longer than I need. My husband has a cheaper pair of Shure's that have a cord extender for when you need it. The tiny case that comes with the earphones barely fit the earphones. I have concerns of bending the wire to make them fit in the case. My husband' came with a larger case. I read all the reviews before buying and thought overall most were satisfied. I am so dissatisfied. I can't believe that others really like them.
- E3c's, Grados, Eto...all of them are great and the E3c's which I own, are tremendeous...just one caveat.
All of these cans (the common term for canalphones) really need a headphone amp and a burn-in period (yes, just like shoes). My Xenos headphone amp, and a 40 hour burn-in of the driver, makes up for the perceived flaws in the product. http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f4/do-canalphones-need-burn-87795/index4.html#post1015521
The impedance of the headphones requires a bit more oomph than most PMP's can provide. Instead of driving my cans with a higher volume which approaches distortion levels, I can drive them at a moderate level into the amp and then control volume bass and trebel on the amp. If you are looking for a headphone amp, look for one that is based on the Burr-Brown amp chip...nice and clean. I'm using a Best Buy/Insignia Pilpt PMP with WMA Lossless. I ripped the Yo Yo Ma Bach Cello Concerto disks and to hear the clarity of the sound is amazing...you can hear him breathing as he plays...almost impossible in other configurations.
When the E3c's are all gone, the 210's are the equivalent cans with only an external design change; the drivers are still the same. Don't forget their great warranty and when the warranty expires, a new pair is only $79 away (plus shipping).

5 comments about Add-on Headphone for RS-130 Wireless System.
- I love them. I bought one headphone with the base unit for my personal use but loved them so much I decided to buy an additional one for my girlfriend. You DO NOT need an additional stand for these, they will work with your existing one.
- The RS-130 headphones are the best, most comfortable I have ever used. I have a hearing problem so I can't speak about the audiophile quality but I can now enjoy TV to its fullest.
- This is my second pair of these headphones. I gave my first pair to a friend. The sound quality is great, and they work for such a long range--anywhere in my house without interference.
- I set up the headphones and they worked well with our TV for two weeks and then one night while using them the transmitter just stopped working-no power. I have to send them to Sennheiser for repair. What a hassle.
- I have had mine for about 6 months. I purchased an LCD TV with poor sound quality. I plugged it into the TV and now I have excellent stereo sourround sound. Also, if your wife does not like the program, you can turn the sound down on the TV and adjust the sound on the head phones.

5 comments about Panasonic Car Audio CA-DC300U iPod Connection Cable for Panasonic Car Stereos.
- The install went pretty easy. I like that it charges my Ipod. What I don't like (and this really drives me nuts) you can't access playlists or artists or any of the menu options. You have to start playing your ipod, and then use the controls on your head unit to switch songs. The downside is, if you have lets say 800 songs on your ipod and you first felt like shuffling through randomly and then you hear an artist that you want to hear more of, you have to disconnect the Ipod switch to the artist and play the album you want to listen to. It may sound like a small complaint in print, but I gaurantee it will drive you crazy if you have any sizable song list and ADD.
- Ise theis item in conjunction with my Panasonic In Dash DVD player. Works flawlessly. Life is so much better without having to carry a bunce of CD'd on long road trips.
- I purchased this item to go along with the Panasonic Strada in dash navigation system. It was very simple to install into the radio. I just plugged the unit into the ipod and there it was on the screen working fine. I have not had a problem one with the device and would recommend it to others with the Panasonic system
- The cable would be great if it would work with the 5th Generation iPods. I have an iTouch and it will not work with that model, Does anyone know the cable i would need for model CQ-C7105U (headunit). Thanks
- does exactly what its supposed to. Nice to have my ipod control through my stereo, easier to control without taking my eyes off the road. Sound quality is AMAZING, there is no higher quality than connecting through this interface.

5 comments about In Focus Projector Carrying Case with Shoulder Strap (CA-CASE-02).
- I received the Projector bag in the time I expected to get it. It was not damaged, and it was the correct one for my equipment.
- I purchased an InFocus IN26. Nice bag to store and protect the projector, but has no extra room for cables. I returned and purchased another bag. Amazon was excellent in handling this return.
- The carry case is comfortable. I really like the rubber hand grip. I did not like that they was little space for the cables. The bag only has an extra 2 inches of room available inside for the cables. I can only fit the computer cable inside and have to put the power cable on in the outer sleeve.

- This case fit our new In Focus Projector perfectly. If you purchase an 'In Focus' Projector, I highly recommend this product.
- I brought this along with my InFocus IN24+ DLP Projector so I could have a the convenience of a carrying case. The description claimed it would fit this particular unit in it. The issue I had was the IN24 fit with little room to play, but now include the remote, cables and power cords and you see the case is too small. Not what I expect.
