Audio Reviews

I just recently purchased these speakers at a local computer store. I brought them home and installed them right away. I was pretty impressed by the level of sound output these speakers had. It has a volume, bass, treble, and 3D surround sound controls and also has a mute button for when the phone rings and you want it quite. It comes with a base speaker wich has the controls on it and two smaller speakers to place around you for surround sound. These are good quallity speakers and are for you if the high price doesn't bother you.

I bought these headphones on a whim just before Christmas 1999, and have used them up until about three days ago (July 14th, '04), when the clip holding the left cup finally broke. I'm quite sad to see them go. The sound quality is excellent. (Some headsets can play lower frequencies, but they're outside the range of human hearing and cut out of compressed music anyway.) While they're not noise-cancelling, they do a reasonable job of keeping my music in and background noise out, except on a noisy school bus. The 9' cord is long enough to attach to an iPod or Discman in the middle of a bedroom floor while doing whatever, wherever in the room; or sitting back and watching movies at the computer. Overall, the set is well-padded, though like any headphones they can start to get uncomfortable after a couple hours. One small problem I had was that the plasticky stuff on the pad on the left cup started tearing off a couple years ago, but that didn't make them any less comfortable. Overall it's a great set of headphones. If I had the money, I'd definitely be replacing this pair with another before they go out of stock.

I have had these headphones for about four months now and have never had any trouble with them. They were a little uncomfortable for the first couple days but ever since they have felt really comfortable now that I am accustomed to them. I wear them for about 5 hours every day, sometimes more. Sometimes I crank my volume really high when I'm listening to music and the headphones still deliver really clear, loud sound. But what I like best is that they do an excellent job of muffling outside sound and keeping the sound in. I can play my music or games with the volume quite loud and my roommate, four feet away, can't hear even the slightest noise escaping from the headphones.

The Lexar Media Jump Gear MP3 player is a fine player at a great price. It works with JumpDrive Sport USB Flash Memory which can store all types of files, not just mp3's. You can purchase as many of these memory drives as you like and make different collections with them.

As far as the player goes, it is compact with adequate volume and sharp display. I was even able to use it in my car with a cassette adapter. The earphones are buds and may be uncomfortable if you aren't used to them.

You have the choice of purchasing the JumpGear with the 64MB starter memory or purchasing it without memory and ordering the JumpDrive seperately. Even though I got it with the memory I found that 64mb wasn't enough to hold an entire album. The prices on larger capacity JumpDrives are coming down and you can purchase 128mb, 256mb, or 512mb for a better value.

The JumpGear MP3 player is one of the best deals around.

It rocks if you drop it it still worlks

I recommend this product. So easy to install and very clear.

I got this about a week ago, for online talking. It worked like bread and butter. Its east to connect, pulg it in, and your all set. It's clear. sounds like my real voice, as i did do a test online with three different microphones, this is the best, and clearest. The headphone is padded, and is adjustible. the microphone is also padded. This is one of the best products for talking online,I happen to use it for flightsimulator, to talk to the ATC, when I fly online. Radio check for me is always 5/5. If you are looking arround for a headset, this is the one.

I just dropped my iPod down a flight of stairs and decided to finally write a review of this product. I've had it for about a year and it's definitely saved my iPod from certain death more than once. It does an incredible job of protecting the iPod with its padded neoprene surface. Like I said, my iPod just bounced down a flight of uncarpeted stairs and if it weren't in the Marware case, I doubt it would have survived. If you work out with your iPod, I would strongly recommend the Marware velcro arm band too -- that's another great product. Do yourself a favor and get one of these. It will save you from having to replace your iPod. I promise.

I recently started commuting on the bus, and decided it would be handy to have a portable radio that also plays MP3s. After a bit of shopping around I discovered the MSI Mega Stick.

This thing is amazing. About the size of a pack of gum, it not only has an excellent FM tuner, it'll store and play about 3 CDs worth of music files too. It couldn't be easier to load them -- the Mega Stick has a USB jack on one end which you simply plug into your computer. It is then recognized as a "removable hard drive" -- simply move the files you want to the Stick and away you go.

The earbuds sound great too, in a pretty unique around-the-neck yoke which keeps the whole thing comfortable.

Runs on a single AAA battery. No moving parts so it seems to run many, many hours on a battery. I'm still waiting for my replacement battery to die -- the one it came with (who knows how old it was?) lasted about a week of intense use. Another good thing, removing and replacing the battery didn't cause anything to be lost.

In all, an excellently designed product. I'm totally happy with it.

A good solution to turntable set-up w/out an amp!
