Phone-Accessories Reviews

Thought I had purchased a pretty good product, until I compared them to the Radio Shack 33-1218 Noise-Canceling Foldable Stereo Headphones.

I had used the Audiobahn 103NC for the summer months behind a profesessional lawn mower, and a couple of flights across the U.S. My head would get sore from wearing them, but there was a noise reduction.

I purchased the Radio Shack model for family members before a cross country flight. They are far more comfortable, and there is a significant noise reduction. Most of the jet engine noise disappears.

Save your money, avoid the Audiobahn 103NC.

I picked up a pair of these because the price was right for what looked to be a decent pair of noise-canceling headphones. Unfortunately, they went back the next day. The sound was completely muddy...all bass with hardly any treble response at all. I tried them on several kinds of music (rock, jazz, classical) with the same results across the board. They were comfortable, but completely unlistenable.

I bought these headphones because they were not as bulky as others. I only wear my headphones at the gym. I have to note that my gym is below the catapults on an AIRCRAFT CARRIER (it's loud) these headphones when attached to my iriver , or ipod mp3 player drown out the noise , and i can't even hear the sound of the machine i am on. these are nice for the price , just make sure you use good batteries.

I'm returning mine in the morning. Image quality is terrible in normal indoor light. In low light it's useless. Even the slightest movement is a blur on the screen. It looks cool and has a nice travel case, but if you want a functional camera, this isn't it. I'll stick with Intel.

Its been two days I've had this web-cam. Very dissapointing... I literally need to sit under a table lamp to to be able to see any pictures clearly. Under normal light, the recording is too dark -- to be visible.

I'm dumping this and buying a logitech tomorrow... Its not even worth 10 bucks.

I've owned this cam for some months, and its perfect for me because I travel constantly. Yes, it struggles in low light (interior light, which is where one ususally is) like a digital camera, but if one turns on an additional lamp, the image is acceptable. It has a great, rugged little carrying case, and the whole cam is tiny; perfect for mobility. And, it's best characteristic...it is easy to use and very reliable. For lest than $50, I have not been tempted to return it.

I bought this phone about 2 years ago. Just after the warantee was up the handset quit working so that I could no longer dial out. Recently the ringer stopped working and one of the alarm buttons works only intermittently. The AM receiver has only ever worked to pick up a station about 15 miles from me that transmits at 64000 watts. Anything else on AM frequency comes in staticy (is that a word?).

The title says it all. We found the radio to sound pretty horrible as if the stations just could not be tuned well. The previous units (other brands) worked fine. Soon after, the caller ID stopped working. Then after almost a year, the phone stopped working. It's interesting how so few clock radio phones are available, and those that are seem to have low ratings.

I absolutly love this item. Phone sounds great. Radio has excellent reception and sound. Caller ID clear and works everytime. Have had it for a while with absolutely NO problems. Recommend to everyone. Even gave several as Christmas gifts and ALL are pleased.

headphones are complete garbage....dont waste your money

I bought these headphones at a sam goody. I wasnt expceting an amazing sound but a descent one. When i plugged these into my cd player it sounded TERRIBLE!!! they sound extremly flat and no bass no treble no nothing. it was like i was listening to air i say that save some money and buy some sonys or spend all your money if u live in the L.A. area and leave a dollar so u can go to your local 99cent store and buy some that i guarantee will sound better and last longer.

I loved the headphones and never had any problems with them until my roommate stepped on them and crushed one of the earpieces... but I can hardly blame the company for that. And the carrying case is really cool.

Don't buy these. I bought two pair, and both of them broke. I am not rough with them -- just sitting at the computer listening to music.

Although is not an excellent product, it's a nice option for the amount o' money you gotta pay for it. It's not recommended for speech recognition like ViaVoice, DragonSystems, etc.

Good solid speakers with the quality you could expect from a low cost Yamaha product. The sound is even better if you plug them into the base of your external powered speakers or system. The microphone, on the other hand, is of a very bad quality. It's hard to install and has very limited mobility. I returned mine after a day because it was just too annoying.

I ordered this pair of headphones with microphone so I could talk to my teammates while playing multiplayer games online while using the Roger Wilco software. The set works alright for this purpose. The microphone picks up my voice fairly well. However, attaching the mic to the headset was somewhat difficult, and I thought I would break it in the process (very tight fit & cheap plastic.) As for the sound quality, it is adaquate for online gaming, however, they they don't put out very much bass at all. A cheap $... pair of headphones can be purchased at any electronics store which will produce a bit better sound quality (but no microphone.)

These were average headphones at best when they were working. I bought them a few weeks ago, and they provided me with an average sound quality. However, they inexplicably stopped working after a few listens. I do not recommend this pair, instead spend a little (or a lot) more money and go with Grados, top of the line headphones not listed on amazon.com.

I was attracted to these headphones because they looked like a steal. They looked like an extremely great deal for the price that I payed for them (around $25)... but what I got was exactly what I paid for. I got very low quality, cheaply made headphones that barely held up for 2 months. The foam padding started deteriorating about a week after I bought these and they hurt your ears after only about listening for an hour. The sound quality is mediocre, but is better than some at the same price range. My biggest problem with these phones was that they leaked an extremely large amount of sound. You can't be in a room, or even a room over from someone without them knowing what you're listening too. HORRIBLE...
But, they are extremely comfortable if you are only going to wear them for a SHORT period of time. They are VERY cheap, and if you don't mind letting anyone listen with you (sound leakage), then these phones shouldn't be a problem. Okay for the casual listener who doesn't have a whole lot of money to spare. The cord is extremely long, which makes for easy maneuverability but does get in the way sometimes. There is a small amount of isolation, more so than with other headphones at this price, but you still can hear outside noise which kind of defeats the purpose.
I would have gave it a 3... because you really do get what you pay for, but I just can't get over how horrible the sound leakage is with these phones. I've used $.99 cent headphones that didn't have leakage this bad... therefore I gave it a 2.
I'm going to loosen up and spring for a pair of Sennheiser HD-280's... better spending $80 for a supposedly fantastic pair than waste another $25 on cheap junk like this.

There's nothing "universal" about this product. It'll split lightweight stuff like cell phones, but don't trust anything more demanding than that with this splitter. I hooked my laptop up through it and the fuse blew within one second. Sadly, I'd bought four of these since shipping cost as much as the item itself, and ALL FOUR died when I tried them with my laptop. The back of the package says not to use items that use over a total of 10amps, which seemed reasonable, so I got out my ammeter and figured out that my laptop used 6amps at most, so not only is this busted, but they lie on the package. I managed to open up the splitter and put in some more heavy duty wiring and a stronger fuse, and then it worked for a short time until I started smelling plastic melting -- it turns out even one of the springs inside couldn't handle 6amps and heated up enough to disfigure and melt plastic around it. I give this item two stars only because you might want to plug in two cell phones simultaneously. For anything else, beware!

Just like everyone else, they did not fit well in my ears and continually fell out. Not only that, they do nothing to block out external noises. I'm looking again for something better, and will not be afraid to spend a little extra money.

I bought a pair of these and will never buy them again. The covers came off the earpieces and would NEVER GO BACK ON!!!! The sound quality was also very poor. Most of the time it seemed as if people around me could hear my music better than I could because the earpieces did not fit well into my ears. These are a complete waste of money!!

They are great Headphones for $3.00 stop whining, what do you expect fro $3.00, none of this style of headphone, at least in my opinion is comfortable, and none of this style of headphone is going to block the noise, you need a haedphone that covers your entire ear to block noise. If you need a cheap pair of earbuds buy these, they have a LIFETIME Warranty from the manufacturer, find another headphone that has a LIFETIME Warranty. Especially on a $3.00 pair of headphones.
