5 comments about EFORCITY Premium Stereo Headset / Speaker Adapter for Samsung BlackJack & A707/SGH-D900.
- Works just fine, but I also get the popping sound everyone complains about when going to next song. I don't get it with other headphones I purchased that have the Samsung connector, so it has to be a problem with this adapter.
- I ordered two of these (one for headphones, the other for my car). One of them worked perfectly, the other was defective. The bad one was NOT in stereo, and it wasn't even really mono, because only one channel came through and it sounded distorted.
However, the seller (BargainCell) really came through and sent me a replacement on the spot.
- I had to get this because I sometimes play music from my Samsung T809(which drains the battery quick enough), and would like to hear it on my speakers. Samsungs have the proprietary connectors, and this was my only choice. The length is a little too short, but it doesn't matter. Working perfectly, as expected. Priced low, and arrives quickly too ! No problems so far.
- I have a Javo adapter but it broke so i thought that i would try this one since it was cheaper. The sound is horrible! it sounds like mp3's are ripped at 16kbps. It's a very hollow sound, and not a lot of bass. I have no idea why sound quality would be different across these adapters but I use the same earphones, and there is definitely noticeable. Luckily I'm still covered under the Javo warranty so they are sending another one out to me for free.
- works in STEREO only if it isn't pushed in the whole way - however it is so cheap you really can't complain. I am going to buy several so that I will have a supply for the life of the phone.

5 comments about Sony MDR-J10 h.Ear Headphones with Non-Slip Design (Blue).
- These headphones are very reasonably price. They have a long cord, so if you like to carry your music player in an out of the way place, it's easier to do. They are fairly comfortable and certainly will not fall of your head in normal running, cycling or other activities. Sound quality is decent.
My only disappointment is the lack of a volume control.
- I bought a few different earphones on this site and these are the best ones. They stay put while running and fit great!
- For the price I paid for them, these headphones are decent. I will probably pull the left headphone wire out eventually and have to buy a new pair in some number months. But for cheap under $10 headphones, these are great for everyday use and for me, going to the gym.
- The headphones don't fit as snugly in my ear as I would like, but don't slip out like earbuds do while jogging. Pretty decent sound.
- Good quality headphones for the sound and the design which makes them fit well. However the fit is slightly loose at times and needs to be pushed in but again everybody's ear is structured differently.
I paid $6 for these Sony headphones, at this price I would say its worth every penny!

5 comments about RCA RP7887 AM/FM Super Portable Radio.
- I needed a radio so I could pull in WABC-AM in NYC from a distance of about one hundred miles inside the Delaware Valley region. I'm a slave to a certain talk radio show, and I figured that this radio might be the answer when I'm at my country home. It failed....miserably. But amazingly, it managed to pick up stations in Charlotte, (700 miles away), in Chicago, (over 800 miles away), and even once it picked up a station in Arkansas! But these stations were only reached at night. The day time receiving was pathetic. So....it's irratic, and unreliable. It's speaker however is quite nice and it delivers a rich hi-fi sound. Now, I gotta contemplate a CC RADIO.
- I bought one of these b/c I work in an office where am reception isn't that great. my company blocks all streaming online radio so i couldn't listen to sports talk radio. i had a cheap radio at my desk and the am reception wasn't the best. so i looked online for the "best" AM radio and came across this one. once i recieved it i was disappointed because the cheap $5 radio i had on my desk before worked just as good if not better. plus it only gets decent reception at one certain spot on my desk. so i have to work with the BIG radio on my desk. if i had to do it again i would have kept my $50 bucks.
- I am an audiophile who listens the highest quality stereo equipment and usually become irritated wtih portable radio sound. I have found that the super radio is very easy to listen to, better than expected. I have also found the quality of reception to be exceptional. I am very happy with my decision to buy the super radio
- After five years in an area blocked by mountains from an otherwise strong Los Angeles signal, I am able to hear my favorite station with negligible interference at a very reasonable price. It is also ready for battery use in an emergency. Thank you for having this solid product.
- This radio is the real deal. From Western NC, I can receive broadcasts clearly from across the eastern seaboard at night. Philadelphia, New York, and Chicago all come in loud and clear.
If you are looking for top notch performance in an affordable package, this is the radio for you. The dial does have a tendency to drift, but for the price, the AM tuning is unbeatable.
FM tuning is also good, but if you are looking for the best AM reception, look no further.

5 comments about Bose UFS-20 Universal Floor Stands (pair) - Black.
- Very poor, weak design. For Bose owners these are a rip-off. Bose was so intent that these stands only work with there one little speaker they broke good design practice by using very small mounting screws with practically no edge distance. So if your speaker ever turns over with Bose little boxes on it you can expect a broker unrepairable stand. Being a design engineer I was able to foil there efforts by carefully oversizing the holes to take a normal screw and adding a second screw into my speaker case at the bottom. It looks great with my Gigaworks THX speakers and is much stronger the what Bose sold people. Bose only provided the one undersized screw and a tiny plastic nub at the bottom which is supposed to barely hole the speaker straight. My speakers are now mounted much stronger than Bose's and look a sound a lot better. I will be adding pictures of these.
One important note is that these speaker stands are advertised as 'universal' when in fact they are designed to only work with one Bose speaker, the small cube. I would have rated as one star but since I was able to mount my speaker even better than they intended, I will give them 2 stars for their bad effort a bad engineering.
- Great stands. They are exactly what I ordered and look and perform as advertised. good price too.
- Vendor delivered the stands very quickly and they were exactly what I ordered and expected. No surprises. Just what I wanted.
- The power of the web makes all all good shoppers provided good common sense is used. This seller provided me with a great value and great service.
- Transaction was very smooth and easy. Was searching for Bose speaker stands at a reasonable price and came across this seller. Ordered the stands and the product arrived very shortly and securely. The stands are great! Thanks for a smooth transaction.

5 comments about Sonic Impact 5084 Ipod If2 Portable Speakers.
- This little unit is great. It is portable, ruggered, and has great sounf for the price. You can take it anywhere and it plays for almost 9 hours plus on a charge. Great for use with your IPOD!
- I bought the i-F2 1 1/2 years ago, and my experience has been excellent. The sound is very impressive (it impressed a friend of mine, who is a professional engineer & sound mixer), the case is super convenient, the hard-shell protects the iPod inside and makes moving it around easy. And the lithium battery is great -- I often run it cordless. I travel with it, and bring it to my job-sites all the time.
The only caveat I have -- be careful with the docking connection. I let other people dock their various iPods on my unit (some of them teenagers) and the docking pin connector got a bit throttled by them. 1 month before the 1 yr warranty ran out, the dock connector became so loose it no longer would connect. I called Sonic Impact to see about a repair, didn't have my receipt (but had cut off the bar code from the box & still had that). They were super nice, told me to send it in with a note explaining that it was a gift, and within a week they sent me a new replacement unit.
Super great customer service.
I'm now very careful with docking my iPod, especially if someone else wants to use it.
Overall, I've been extremely pleased with these speakers, and with Sonic Impact.
- Great product. We bought this to use at the beach. Works and sounds great...if you are standing/sitting right in front of it. If you are any where off to the side you really can't hear it very well. Also the charge DOES NOT last nearly as long as it says. I think we get about 3-4 hours. NOT 15.
Love the little storage compartment for the ipod. Just wish it had one for the charger as well.
- This little stereo system is great! The sound quality is fantastic and it's so portable it's perfect for the beach, hotels, or just about anything while your on the go.
- Took this on a cruise and listened to my tunes on the balcony - great sound and volume! Very compact and I like that it recharges the iPod too. These compact speakers are what I will take on vacations and anywhere else I want to share my tunes with others. I am not a sound/speaker expert, but the music sounded great to me!!!

5 comments about TRENDnet USB to Serial Converter.
- Connected 4 of these to the same computer to run DNS. Till now works 24/7 for a couple of monts without any problem neither resouce conflicts (other SYBA hardware gave me tons of problems). Didn't have even to install the driver. WinXP recognized it as "Prolific USB-to-Serial Comm Port (COM3)" to (COM6). Recomended product.
- Used this to connect my Garmin eTrex with serial adapter to my USB only laptop. Installed with no difficulty and works as it should.
- A good product. Easily detected and installed on a WinTel platform.
I would have like it to be a bit more robust and steady hardware wise since the cable to the adapter head does not seem to be firmly connected
- I used it to connect my SkyCaddie SG2 Golf GPS with an HP MediaCenter PC running Windows XP. (SkyGolf wants $25 for what looks like this same cable.) Windows XP recognized it but said it could not find the software, so I installed off the included CD. After a reboot, the device worked as advertised.
- Books were in good condition, but can tell they are older books. Pleased with quick delivery.

5 comments about Sony MDR-E828LP Fontopia Earbuds with Winding Case.
- I ordered these with my sony fm radio because so many said the sounded great. If I hold them in my ears, they do sound great. But, they don't stay in my ears and were such a hassle I threw them away. Maybe it's my ears, but I tried several different ways, to no avail.
- Although its sound quality-to-price ratio is the best in the market (if that's ever quantifiable), this product does not last long. After about a month of using these headphones daily with my iPod, the sound quality in the left ear has suddenly become fuzzy, and is now subject to the careful adjustment and positioning of the plug (or of the wire immediately connected to the plug). This exact condition has arisen three times already to three of these same headphones that I've bought, leading me to suspect that Sony has deliberately done this, in an attempt to maximize their profit from these items.
The warranty is pretty bothersome as well, as you would need to buy your own packaging and pay your own shipping (purportedly at a lower price, but I haven't tried yet).
If you still intend on buying these, be EXTREMELY careful with handling them, for all the reasons mentioned above.
- I bought these at my local Best Buy and I knew they were definitely an improvement over the ones that came with my MP3 player, but they didn't absolutely wow me. Nevertheless, they had pretty good sound quality. The only thing that I didn't like was that they don't have a great build quality. The black part that touches your ear came off on mine, and when I tried to put it back together, the right ear disconnected. I went back to best buy and got a different set of earphones, and those were nowhere near the sound quality and they were $15 more. I took them back and got these again, and my new pair hasn't broken since (I've had the new pair for about 6th months, the old pair was about 9 months). Overall, I am definitely satisfied with these headphones, but I haven't found a pair yet under $30 that makes me go "Wow!" But these come closest.
Also, When laying down with these on carpet, you can barely feel them, and I usually find headphones uncomfortable. I think I like these because they're nnot in-ear, they hang on the ear. That is a problem when running, though, so I keep a pair of in-ear earphones for that.
- I got these quite a while ago as a Christmas gift to replace my old, broken headphones. At the time, I had little experience with digital music and didn't really notice much special about these earbuds.
However, after buying an iPod nano recently and using Apple's provided earbuds, which subsequently fell apart, I returned to these and was stunned by the incredible sound quality. The bass in these tiny earbuds is very impressive compared to the Apple units, and in general the sound is very well balanced with all frequencies coming through with great clarity.
In addition, the design and construction of these headphones is very solid and durable. Best of all, they're less than 10 dollars!
If you're looking for a good pair of earbuds, BUY THESE. Great sound, solid construction, and the best price you'll find!
- I got these headphones about a decade ago, and these had amazing bass. Not too much bass, not too little bass. Just the perfect amount of bass and crispness where I can close my eyes and immerse myself in the music with. Since then, I have spent roughly $400 and have gone through 8 additional headphones that have not even come close to these (5 of them from Sony, some of professional grade). These being the cheapest ones for about $10! I'm never going to try to find something better. As perfection was always $10 away, and paying more always seemed like you got a lot less.
I lost these 8 years ago, but I just picked up new ones yesterday, and I can say that I can come to loving music at a much higher level once again. If you have these headphones, you'd know exactly what I mean by that. There definitely is magic in their Twin Turbo technology.

5 comments about 50FT CAT6 Black Patch Cable Snagless RJ45M/RJ45M.
- Web site had enough information for me to make an informed decision to purchase. Ordering process was efficient and fast.
- Bought this 50ft Category 6 patch cable made by belkin from Parts Express, the cable showed up at my house in 3 days and for around $7 its the best deal online and I could not be happier. I use this cable to connect my XBOX 360 to my modem and it works flawlessly, can't ask for much else.
- I purchased this cable so that I could play online with my PS2. It is not only fast but also durable. I accidentally broke my original cable (it was my fault and not the cable company's) and Amazon sent me a new one for free without even having to return the original one.
- Super fast delivery. Item was as described in Belkin Package. What a bargain.
- Cable works excellent. I was worried at first that there would be slow data transfer at first because of the length(50ft), but it performs great for me. Highly pleased.

3 comments about SANDISK SANSA Premium Black Car Auto Mobile Vehicle Charger for SanDisk Sansa c100 / c200 / e200 Series.
- The charger is great. Instead of having to use the original charge which is big, this one is small and works the same, except there's no place to hold the garmin as it's in the bottom of it, so you have to hold it to look at it or keep it working. Otherwise it's nice.
- Surprising to get at such price. I got it on time and works as advertised. I am pleased to bought it to charge in my car.
- I got this charger to keep my sansa charged while riding my Goldwing. When ever I plug the charger into the sansa and try to play music across the onboard aux input I get a terrible eletical noise. Unplug the charger and it goes away. The charger will charge the Sansa just not happy I can't charge and listen at the same time.

5 comments about Bose® SoundDock® Digital Music System Travel Case - Black.
- I originally purchased this through a local "big box" company and found this item offered through Amazon (via 6th Ave.) for $30 less! The item itself is well thought out and having additional space to house the remote and iPod makes this a complete travel case. For the $25 it was being offered for, it is a no-brainer to keep that Bose Sounddock in great shape.
- it is a great product every thing has a place. also the price was better
than anywhere else
- excellent product. I love it. Now I can travel with my Bose and feel like it is safe.
- This is a great case. I use it to move my sound dock to the porch every nite, its secure & everything packs nicely inside.
- I bought this item as a gift and the recipient loves it! Excellent product and it holds everything perfectly.
