5 comments about Sony MDR-Q68LW Clip-on Style Headphone with Retractable Cord.
- For the time I have had it. it works really well. I take it with me everywhere and I am even able to sleep with them. So yes I think this is a very good product.
- I bought these headphones for my walks and to take with me for my lunch breaks at work. So most of the time they're in my pocket. That's why I wanted a pair of headphones that retracted. They've held up for the past few months very well. Not the slightest problem.
PROS:
Small and lightweight.
They retract very easily with the button on either headphone.
There is a yellow part on the "end" of the cord so you know you shouldn't try and pull any more out.
They are a nice sleek black.
They put out REALLY nice sound. Seriously, if you want better sound, you'll have to use a pair of headphones that covers your ears. These have extremely clear sound that is capable of a nice deep bass.
CONS:
I wish the cord were about 6" longer. The cord that plugs into your music device comes out of the left headphone. So when you're wanting to walk with it, you have to carry it with your left hand to avoid yanking the left headphone off of your ear.
I'm use to my old Sony headphones that had a kind of metal and plastic mesh over the cord that prevented it from being damaged. In comparison to the cord for these headphones, these have a very small cord. I tend to be worried about it, but so far so good. I've dropped my mp3 player many a time which has yanked on the cord hard enough to pull the left headphone off of my ear a few times and still the cord seems perfectly fine.
FINAL SCORE:
Minor gripes aside, it's the best portable headset out there. You want something to carry around and not worry about it breaking and/or getting tangled? Look no further my friend. You have found it. :D
- I've been looking for retractable headphones that work for a long time. These are great, both the cord that connects to the device and the cord that connects the two ear pieces are retractable. They click/lock as they are expanded and you push a button (one on each earpiece) to retract them. The operation is easy and they take up minimal space when fully retracted. It takes a little while getting used to attaching the ear pieces to your ears, but it's well worth it.
- Being the proud owner of an ipod shuffle I was in the market for a good pair of headphones after destroying my earbuds in a bike "accident."
I am not a big fan of the earbud type of headphones as I feel they are a bit detrimental to your hearing. I had a pair of clip-ons before but I would get fristrated with them as the cords were constantly getting tangled. In addition I wanted something with a shorter cord as I have no need for three feet of wire if the ipod is going to be around my waste. So I did some searching and voilĂ , just what I need.
The retractable cord works like a charm. I really like how it goes all the way in which makes for neat storage. The earphones how pretty decent quality if you ask me and are confortable enough. My only complaint is that it seems like the fabric that is next to your ear is kind of...cheap? Not sure if that is the right word, but I worry about how long it will last before it rips.
All in all, a good headphone. I would definately recommend them to a friend.
- These headphones are pretty nice. Push the button on the side for the cords to retract into the earpieces. The cord on the left piece connects the headphones to your player and the cord on the right piece connects to the left piece. With this kind of set up I can control the length of the cord behind my head and get the right length to reach my iPod. With a shorter cord, I couldn't keep the player in my pants pocket while listening to it. With a much too long cord, it would get tangled in my bag and snag on my bike handles. The cords on this model make a clicking sound when being lengthened and have yellow bands near the end of their extents to keep you from over extending them.
I love that they sit outside my ears since the bud styles hurt my ears and tend to fall out while exercising. It may take some adjusting to get them in the right position as the clips are spring loaded and can put an uncomfortable amount of pressure on the ears if not positioned well.

5 comments about Logitech Alto Express Notebook Stand.
- Awesome, the product was sent on time, arrived on time and was in excellent condition. I would recommend this product for anyone and from this company!
- This was one of the cheaper stands I found, yet it is so cute and matches perfectly with the mac book and mac keyboard. I can easily fit it into my backpack and I even drag it into bed to watch movies sometimes. Lightweight and practical.
- I bought this on the strength of the claim that it works with most laptop computers. It does not work with my HP Pavilion 9700 series which just slides off. Any ports on the front of the computer are useless (on the aforementioned HP that means the remote control, the microphone and headphone sockets are unusable. I bought it to be comfortable watching TV and to use with Dragon Naturally Speaking. I can do neither. If that were not enough, I don't understand why it isn't perforated to allow airflow to the fan. There is a good idea here but this is poor execution.
Also, be aware of the small print saying you should use a separate keyboard and mouse which contradicts the claim that it de-clutters your desk.
- I use it all the time with my 15.4 inch MacBook Pro and my wife uses it with her work notebook. If you heavily use the optical drive on the MacBook Pro, this stand probably isn't the best but otherwise it's great.
- Works great for my Dell Latitude D820, and would work just as well for any other non-apple laptop. However, costs about $10 too much based off what you actually receive. Also, as I like to move the stand on my desk, it squeaks hardcore when you try to move it backwards. Overall, a great purchase, just take those few things into account.

5 comments about RF-Link AVS-5811 5.8GHz Audio and Video Transmission System with IR Repeater.
- I wanted to put a TV in my bedroom but didn't want to run any new cables through the house. So, I had used a few video transmitters in the past and was wondering if they had improved. What could it hurt to try one out. Well, after a lot of research I settled on this product. WOW, was I impressed. I was sure there would be some noticeable effect that this was video being transmitted (like in the old style units). However, there is barely anything that would indicate this. No snow, no lines, no flutters, etc... Once in a blue moon I may notice some quick instance or distortion that reminds me this is a cable less set-up. Other than that the picture is good, the sound is good, and the IR repeater works flawlessly. I am VERY happy with this purchase and am planning on buying a few more receivers for my kitchen TV and my PC. My transmitter and receiver are about 50 feet from each other with 3 walls and some various furniture in between. My microwave oven is between the transmitter and receiver and has never made the slightest glitch in the picture or sound. This is definitely and impressive product and worth every penny.
- Product seemingly works great, however after a short period of time passes it completely stops. Changing the channel and unplugging it doesn't seem to help. I have heard that overheating could be the cause of the problem, but I cannot do anything to get it working properly. It may be the previous model and corrected now.
- Cheap unit. Stay away. Didn't even last six months. Only worked if both units were within line of sight of one another.
- We've only had this for a day, but so far so good. The unit is being used as a video baby monitor that's hooked up to a Sony miniDV cam and also our Panasonic 42" plasma. There's some rolling static lines even after changing between the 4 channels and moving the position of the antennas. That gave me memories of the 80s and messing with the old school analog antenna of our TV.
Right now we're in an apartment with probably a mess of signals from neighbors, a worst case scenario in my opinion. We have a 2.4GHz phone and a 802.11b/g network and both seem fine. For our purpose this unit does the job fine, it's great not having to run a 50 ft composite cable from our son's room to the living room now.
- I used to have a LeapFrog 2.4 GHz system purchased at Best Buy. This product is far superior so far.

1 comments about AC Power Supply for Microsoft XBOX 360.
- I got lucky when I showed up to country because the guy that lived in the CHU before me left his xbox 360. The catch? He burned out the power supply by plugging it straight into a 220v...ouch! Ordered this baby, got a power converter, and from there it was plug and play. Product works great, its basically the same one that originally comes with the 360's. No hiccups as of yet and I've had it for a couple of days. If you need a new power supply, I recommend this one for sure.

5 comments about Ipod Mini / Nano / Video Retractable USB Data Cable and Charger.
- Well it does what i need it to do. Charges my ipod and even allows me to data transfer my songs to my ipod. I waited awhile before i wrote a review to see if it would work. But I have no complaints. It was cheap and worth the money i spent. :)
- I have had it for a few weeks now and it works just fine no problems. Its obviously made from a cheaper material than the original one from APPLE but for its price it is well worth it, plus it has a retractable cord for easy storing.
- I don't know if the seller changed the picture, but the one I received is one with a big and bulky ipod connector. I have a 2nd gen ipod nano, and the cable looks so big in comparisson.
Beside that, it's working OK.
- This product was really cheap and works well so far. I was delighted to find it at such a discount and it arrived the same week that I ordered it.
- Being that this product was a mere $.33 when I bought it, I wasn't expecting much. The reviews said mostly positive things about it, but there are times when I speculate the validity of others ill advised opinions. That being said, this product broke my expectations.
The retract feature works much better than I ever thought it would. I have had retractable ethernet cables before that were very cheaply made, resulting in a broken cable and increased latency. This product, on the other hand, is very simply made but with quality components. The retract feature works seemingly flawless.
In addition, I had no problems charging or using data transfer. It connected and transferred flawlessly.
The only thing that bothered me was the high shipping cost. I purchased 3 to have on hand at work/home/laptop bag and paid ~$1 for the product, but a wopping $9 for shipping. Nearly 10x the cost of the product for shipping? That just seems unreasonable.

5 comments about FM Transmitter & Car Charger with LCD Screen - for Apple iPod / Iphone / Itouch / Nano - High Quality digital Sound - Automatically powers and recharges battery ( Will NOT charge Iphone 3G ).
- I like this transmitter. It plays your music clearly and is easy to use.
- I BOUGHT THIS PRODUCT BECAUSE SOME REVIEWS ARE VERY GOOD BUT WHEN I RECEIVED IT I FOUND A NOT GOOD PRODUCT, A LOT OF STATIC AND LOW VOLUME ALSO A LOT OF INTERFERENCE ALL THE TIME. HOPE SOMEONE INVENTS A GOOD FM TRANSMITTER FOR IPHONE.
ITS BETTER TO USE AUX INPUT WITH A DIRECT AUDIO CABLE.
- I thought I knew what to expect from almost any FM transmitter: mediocre sound quality, some interference here and there, and overall just an OK music experience. But this device even exceeded those expectations... and not in a good way.
I like the design and the fact that it charges your iPod. I like the LCD display and that it's backlit. On the surface, the device has many good things going for it.
However, when you actually try and play your music on it, you find that the quality of the music is poor. There's static, crackling, and popping (just like my title says! =D) And not only that but if your cigarette lighter is too far from the radio, it degrades the quality even more.
Kinda makes me wish that cassette players still came in cars so I could just play it through that...
- PLEASE do not buy this product! The first product I was sent failed to work with my original iPhone, as was advertised. I was quickly issued a replacement item and that was guaranteed to work. However, the instant I plugged my iPhone into the replacement unit, the iPhone screen went blank and it got blazing hot. After 30 minutes, the iPhone was dead.
My iPhone worked great for more than a year and this terrible product killed it.
- I dont know what happend, work one time only I check ( Effuse ) I dont,
regards

5 comments about Zen Armband.
- two person job to put on tight enough that is does not slip down. need to be elastic. will not ever use, wasted money.
- I purchased this product in hope I could wear my Zen while walking and biking. This can be accomplished but only if you have someone there to help you put it on. That is the main issue with this accessory. Whoever is the manufacturer please incorporate a pull buckle so that one person can put it on tightly. One other thing is you cannot see any of the display but is minor.
- I've read a number of bad reviews for this product and reluctantly purchased it a couple of weeks ago to use my Zen while running without having to hold it in my hand. The armband is not perfect but I feel that it does what it is supposed to do. The biggest complains I have heard include the following:
1. It is diffcult to securely put the armband on. Personally I do not think it is that hard. I agree that it would be better if it was more elastic.
2. Can't see the screen. Not a problem to me because I put on a playlist and have no reason to look at the screen during a workout. Only problem occurs if you accidently push a button that cancels out of the playlist and you don't what to push to restart it without looking at the screen.
3. Can't turn on or lock the player without taking it out. You can do these things easy enough by touch.
- Just aweful! I love just about everything Creative makes, and this is the 3rd Creative media player I've purchased, but this armband... sux. I also have a little 1 gig mp3 player with a simple armband that works kind of like a belt buckle. Works great. How come they didn't use something like that? This thing has to wrap around and around your arm in order to use up any remaining slack in the band. The player is totally hidden, even the buttons. So, unless you have the various menus completely commited to memory, forget about navigating around once you put it in the band. On top of that, the material is so strong that when I tried to take matters into my own hands and cut a space in it for the window, none of the knives I own could do the job without destroying the whole thing. Complete waste of money.
- As others have noted, the biggest negative is you can't see the screen. It's also too easy to hit the wrong button with this. And, when I have used it for running, the ZEN ends up very wet with sweat. All around bad design. Don't waste your money.

5 comments about Belkin F8Z055-5 TuneBuds for iPod.
- I love my new earbud covers and I espically love all the colors!
The price was very competitive and the seller ensured that the transaction was professional and expedient. Great seller and great product.
- The Ipod buds fit me great as long as I have these for them. ALSO, unlike the ones that come with Ipod buds, these stay on the earbud. Well, at least better.
Good product!
- I was always losing my ear buds covers, but with the belkin 5 pairs pack I have more than I need. They are good quality, comfortable and if you don't mind having them in colors (I actually enjoy having the left one red and the right one blue) they are great.
No problems so far, fitted them onto 3 different types of headphones, a Sony, a Samsung and a Sennheiser and on the Sennheiser they actually stay better than the originals who fell after only a couple of weeks.
- Very good, and cheap product. I buy these frequently b/c I live a high impact lifestyle. They withstand much better than the apple earbuds, and when they do break they're only around $5 for new ones. Great earbuds.
- Tried 4 times. They all came off in my ear. tore the first few trying to put them on. I wanted something to keep the left earbud of the iphone earphones from falling out of my ear. Instead these came off in my ear..everytime.
Threw the rest of them away.
