Earbud Headphones - fitness, ear bud


These are the best earphones for running I have ever used. They don't budge once you put them in and their sound quality is fantastic. They come with two sizes of hooks which is a first for me. It seems like more companies would design earphones that way because it just makes sense since we all don't have the same size ears. The ones attached in the package fit me, but I did try the larger ones too and they change out very easily. The nice thing about these is the earpiece rotates on the hook so once you put the hook over your ear, the earpiece can be turned into the ear so it will stay securely in place with no additional effort. I can't tell you what a nice thing that is because the constant adjusting of earphones really detracted from the pleasure of my run. I like to plug in and go, and so far I've not needed to adjust these once, they don't budge. They come with three sizes of ear cushions which is part of the reason they don't budge too. With ear canal earphones, you need a snug fit to help keep them in place but more importantly, to get their full sound quality. Once you get a good seal in your ear, you'll be treated to their exceptional sound. I'm no audiophile, but I know good sound when I hear it and these are very, very good sounding earphones. The music is crystal clear and the bass response is very good. When you consider the price and their functionality, not to mention the case, which by itself is very nice, these are a great deal. I'll be recommending them to my friends for sure. Sound-Squared "Sport" Headphone Earbuds Earphones w/ 2 Earhook Sizes and Earphone Case - Great Value!

I've been through a slew of headphones lately, seeking a pair that won't fall out, won't hurt my ear where it rests after just 15 to 30 minutes and has great sound. These fit the bill perfectly. I was able to wear them all day while I worked and not once did they fall out, even when the cord got caught a couple times they stayed well enough in place to not be annoying. My ear doesn't hurt from wearing them for hours and the sound is perfect. I'd highly recommend these!

I'm so happy that I got these earbuds. I wasn't sure if I should get them because the price is so low. However, the reviews looked good so I figured I'd try them out. I run about 4 miles each time I'm out and have not had to mess with them at all (which I was doing with my previous pair). Also, they come with little extras, like extra buds that formfit to your ears and a carrying case. As a bonus, the carrying case is the perfect holder for my new ipod nano(the tiny one that clips on). I am very happy that I bought these!

I almost never write reviews, but I really had to for these headphones. I bought them primarily for when I work out. As a rule, I never pay much for anything I workout with: shoes, clothes, headphones. I'm not doing speed walking at the Y, so I literally destroy everything that I wear. Extreme sports? I do those in my sleep, and what I do while I'm awake and working out doesn't have a name. Let's just say I pound 9 red bulls to relax after a workout. So how do these hold up?



It's been almost a week now, and I've probably used them for about 12 hours. The sound is really good, they have withstood COPIOUS amounts of sweat, and been stomped on a few times...accidentally of course.

They are such a great fit, although I did the Goldilocks routine of the ear canal pieces being too big, too small, and the last ones...well, you know.

One last thing, I wear glasses, and I find it to be a pain with over the ear grips on ear phones. These DO NOT mess with the arms of my glasses at all, and once I set them in, they don't move much! Could you find a better set of earphones? I'm sure, but not at this price. You'd be looking at paying three times as much, at least! Make a smart purchase and BUY these, you won't be sorry!

I've had these for about a month. They have a pretty decent sound quality, especially for the price. However, they don't fit quite right in my ears. When running, they slowly work their way out of my ear canal and the sound noticeably deteriorates. If I'm wearing them just to lift, or listen to music, they are great! I bought them with the purpose of using them during runs. I guess it depends on your intended use. There are only two sizes of ear hooks, so it is also difficult to match them up to the multitude of ear sizes out there. If you're buying them for low impact to no impact activities, I would highly recommend these. Not a good choice if you're buying them to run with.

These are fantastic earphones!!! The sound quality is amazing, and 10 times better than what you would get out of the standard iPod earbuds. I would go so far to say they are pretty much noise canceling. Plus, they are very fairly priced. They fit very comfortably and are perfect for smaller ears when fitted with the small earbuds. They are also much quieter and don't emit as much sound outside of your ear as a lot of other headphones do. I don't feel like I'm disturbing the people around me when listening to music loudly. If you are looking to get a lot of bang for your buck, then look no further!!

This is my second pair of these headphones. I absolutely love them! They're the only ones I've found that are reasonably priced and actually stay in my ears when I'm running or working out! They come with three different sizes of inserts in case your ear canals are small. I can wear them for hours and they don't even hurt my ears. Plus, the sound is great!

The best part about these earphones is their functionality. They are sooo comfortable. Once I put them on they stay in place and I don't feel the earhooks. I bought these to replace earbuds that sounded great but would fall out every time I worked up a tinge of sweat. These were a outstanding replacement. They also have a great sound with some good base. - Exercise - Fitness - Ear Bud - Earphones'

Wireless Accessories - tmobile, charger


I bought two of these thinking I would use leave one in my girlfriend's car and the other one in my car so we would always have our cell phones charged. Well, the one in my car worked for about two days and then the red light on the charger started blinking and then it stopped charging all together. I tried another cigarette socket and got the same results. The retractable cord worked for this one.



I asked her if she needed hers and she told me it doesn't charge. I got hers and tried it in both of our cars and again the red light was blinking on the charger and it would not charge either of our phones. The retractable cord on hers would not retract back into the unit.



I have a myTouch 4G and she has a blackberry. I would recommend buying a different charger. Retractable Car Charger (CLA) for HTC myTouch 4G

Giving average star (3).



-quality is not bad, but is not good either. the usb head is loose and had to assist the retractable



-realized this is not a rapid charger. so you have to stay in the car for a while to walk away with more juice.

I purchased this about a month ago. I thought it was a really cool idea and I loved the retractable cord. Between my GPS and satellite radio, I have more than enough cords all over my dashboard. Unfortunately, I never got to use it before it broke. The metal part on the front came completely off!

Poor product and bad quality. - Charger - Cell Phone Charger - Micro Usb Charger - Tmobile'

Highlighters - fluorescent, highlighters


I have used Zazzle highlighters for years and can honestly say they are worth every penny. I just bought a dozen and gave out four to co-workers and employees. These highlighters last and never dry out like the "cheap ones". Don't hesitate buy these, you won't regret the purchase. Zebra Zazzle Chisel Tip Yellow Fluorescent Highlighters 12 Pack (74050)

I agree with the previous reviewer. I have used these things for years - didn't think to look for a resupply of them on Amazon until just now - and glad I did.



I carry them in a suit pocket to work, fly with them on airplanes, throw them in briefcases - they're always ready, never dry, and always work.



An excellent product.

I PURCHASED THESE EXPENSIVE HIGHLIGHTERS BECAUSE THEY ADVERTISED THAT THEY USED LONG LASTING INK.



I USE THEM TO HIGHLIGHT BIBLES, AND COMMENTARIES TO FACILITATE LOOKING UP REFERENCES.



THESE ARE QUITE EXPESIVE WHEN COMPARED TO MOST OTHERS BUT I WAS WILLING TO PAY FOR PERMANENT MARKING.



I FIND THAT KEEPING THE INK FLOWING WHILE HIGHLIGHTING IS SUCH A CHORE THAT IT TAKES MY ATTENTION AWAY FROM THE CONTENT I AM READING. I WILL NOT BE REORDERING THESE.



THE INK DOES NOT LAST VERY LONG MAKING THE "REAL" COST EVEM HIGHER.



I HAVE NOW LOCATED A SOURCE (THROUGH AMAZON)THAT CARRIES THE TANK STYLE HIGHLIGHTERS WITH THE NON FLORESENT YELLOW INK THAT DOES NOT FADE OUT IN A MONTH OR TWO. LOCAL STORES DON'T CARRY THEM ANY MORE.

Parfume Perry Ellis Gift 360


I really like this and all my friends tell me that this is my signature scent. It is there without being obnoxious and there is my highest recommendation - it is not obnoxious just enough to be known. Perry Ellis 360 By Perry Ellis For Men. Eau De Toilette Spray 3.4 Ounces

Great fragance, it's just what i've been looking for my son and he loves it, a fresh and modern fragance it smells very good and stays all day long.

Definitely it's a modern fresh fragance that makes you impress people when they're close to you, that's great.

I got this as a Chistmas gift and the person I gave it to absolutely loved it. It was his favorite cologne and he couldn't find it anywhere. I'm happy I found it here, the price was great, and it turned out to be a very good present.

I've been using Perry Ellis 360 since this winter. I really like this fragrance and it works well for evening's out as well as around the office. Its not terribly strong so its a nice subtle scent. Urban, and summer like scent create an edgy feel when worn.



Pros:

Daily wear possible, inexpensive (certainly not cheap!), Line of cosmetics to go with it (body wash etc)



Cons:

Seems to wear off in like 6-8 hours, bottle seems kinda fragile.



Overall I will continue to use Perry Ellis 360 and maybe even try out some of the other line.'

Playstation 2


Yeah, sometimes the AI is stupid and sometimes the game doesn't move as fast as some people would like. But to me, KILLZONE is FPS (first person shooter) GOLD. It reminds me of the first TENCHU game. People said it was rough and unpolished, but it turned out to be one of the most amazing gameplay experiences I've ever had. The TENCHU series went downhill from there with analog controls and never lived up to the original. So don't wait for the second KILLZONE hoping there will be big improvements. You may be missing out. Don't listen to professional or jaded Amazon critics. People are just too picky. There are too many game geeks who don't like certain games because they don't live up to the expectations of some other game. Be fair. I don't care if KILLZONE is a HALO killer. IT'S NOT. And I don't care if this game pushes the PS2 to the limits of the hardware. IT DOES. To me, it's all about the gameplay. And I haven't been this immersed in a FPS since playing MEDAL OF HONOR FRONTLINE. THIS GAME SMOKES AND IT LOOKS HEAVY METAL PSYCHO!! BUT BE PREPARED TO DIE A FEW TIMES.



I still play FRONTLINE so it took me a little time to get a handle on the controls. All movement for KILLZONE, like RED FACTION, is done via both analog sticks including side-to-side movement, which is actually more intuitive than the shoulder buttons utilized by FRONTLINE. After some practice with the controls all hell broke loose and those Helghast troops were dropping like flies. Occasionally I throw a grenade when I mean to sidestep enemy fire. Oops. One of the BEST features is the SENSITIVITY SETTING for X and Y axis, or up-and-down and side-to-side movement, which can be adjusted ingame in the ADVANCED SETTINGS during PAUSE. When I first started playing I had to set the SENSITIVITY very low, but as my learning curve improved I continued to raise the SENSITIVITY during gameplay. VERY NICE. ADVANCED SETTINGS are not in the MAIN MENU and are not fully explained in the MANUAL. For example: I turned ON the AUTO-CENTER feature in the ADVANCED SETTINGS and I assumed it was for auto-targeting. If it is, it doesn't work as I didn't notice any difference when it was turned OFF. Maybe another reviewer can enlighten me about this feature.



Some complained about the reloading and grenade tossing animations being too slow and wrong for the game. It's realistic and part of the strategy. And it looks awesome. There's even a counter on grenades for when you're cooking one up. The AUTO-RELOAD feature can be turned OFF and reloading should be done while you are running or in a defilade position. And, if you take a lot of enemy fire your HEALTH BAR respawns after time.



Some complained about the SNIPER RIFLE being too hard to aim. Again, it's realistic and requires a steady hand. Don't forget, like I did, to use the upward directional button after pressing R3 to FULLY ZOOM in on your target. It makes it much easier to get that KILLSHOT. Some of the STANDARD weapons also have a ZOOM feature with a press of the R3 button. It can be a little disorienting switching between ZOOM and NORMAL VIEW, but once you get used to it, it's a welcome feature.



SOME SINGLE PLAYERS MAY WORRY about the ONLINE feature eating up a big portion of the gameplay. NEVER FEAR. KILLZONE GIVES YOU A LOT OF BANG FOR YOUR BUCK. The single player CAMPAIGN contains 11 HUGE levels that you can revisit at anytime after completion. (However, you'll lose your game in progress on a level if you go back.) The multiplayer BATTLEFIELDS contain 6 TEAM ARENAS that can be played ONLINE or OFFLINE, alone or with a friend. If you don't have a friend to play with or you have a friend who spends every waking hour playing and continually frags your sorry behind, every ARENA can be adjusted and played solo with AI bots, spawning, time limits, and more, depending on your skill level. You can also play as ISA goodguys or HELGHAN badboys. Nice, because the different factions use different weapons. So, you can pick-up, sample, and use them all. Even if you don't play ONLINE. (However, you can't play as Helghast in the CAMPAIGN mode.) PERFECT FOR THE CASUAL OR HARDCORE GAMER. Perfect for me, because I'm an older gamer and most of my friends are married with children and don't play video games. Suckers!! THANKS, GUERRILLA. I WAS WORRIED THERE FOR A MINUTE. GROWN MEN SHOULDN'T BE HAVING THIS MUCH FUN. (One of my older friends came by to check out the game and we ended up playing for 6 straight hours.)



THE GRAPHICS ARE AMAZING. While answering a phone call, after just starting this game, I was watching the DEMOS on the MAIN MENU (I never pause my 41" SONY XBR TV ingame for long periods of time for fear of phosphor burn on my tube), and sat there slack-jawed. The graphics almost looked CELL-SHADED. INCREDIBLE. LIKE A HEAVY METAL OR ANIME CARTOON.



Also includes a WIDESCREEN SETTING, DTS PRO LOGIC, and full CONTROLLER CUSTOMIZATION. SWEET.





MOST PARENTS DON'T CARE, BUT HERE'S A WARNING: KILLZONE IS LOADED WITH FOUL LANGUAGE, ALTHOUGH THE VIOLENCE IS NOT GRAPHIC. THE BLOOD IS VERY SUBDUED. NO EXPLODING HEADS OR DISMEMBERED LIMBS. SO ACT ACCORDINGLY. FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO LIKE THAT SORT OF THING: BUMMER. MAYBE NEXT TIME.



IF YOU LOVE FPS's, THIS IS A MUST HAVE. I DON'T HAVE BROADBAND, SO BE SURE AND READ OTHER REVIEWS FOR ONLINE PLAY. KILLZONE WILL MAKE A GREAT HOLIDAY GIFT FOR THAT HARD-TO-BUY-FOR KILLER ON YOUR LIST. ENJOY. Killzone

I along with probably 10 thousand others are beta testing this game right now, and I'm here to tell you it kicks butt. It's been dubbed the "Halo-Killer", but that name doesn't do it justice. It's simply not comparable to Halo. Killzone is a FPS, which I'm sure you already know the storyline so I won't get into that. The weapons range from regular handguns to machine guns to missle launchers. When you fire off any of these there's this realism to it, the sound, the kick of the gun, it's just brilliant. This game is very gritty. The colors aren't bright and obnoxious, they actually make you feel like you're in a possible warzone. The control is tight, comparable to other FPS.



The one thing me and many others have commented about already is how severly addictive this game is. Get online, join an ISA team or Helghast team and just try to put the controller down. Wether you're in a deathmatch or another form of play, you simply can't stop playing. So good. I'll definitely pick this up when it comes for PS2, and I advise you do the same if your a FPS gamer.'

Stainless Steel - stainless steel, watches


This watch is beautiful, the sleek black leather band is great. When I received it the color was not blue but a gorgeous silvery gray which is even better looking than the blue. I love its sleek stylish look, Great buy. Armitron Men's 204604DGSVBK Swarovski Crystal Accented Stainless Steel Dress Watch

I got this for my boyfriend for Christmas, and he really liked it. It's very professional, and he can wear it to interviews. It's absolutely gorgeous- only time will tell if it holds up during this next year.

The watch is gorgeous. Simple yet eloquent design. Keeps time. Nothing else. No date, no alarm, no timer. But why would you need those things at a swanky dinner engagement, or at the Presidential Ball?!? It's certainly suitable for such events. The crystals are very diamond-like -- lots of sparkle. The face of the watch is outstanding, and every bit as good looking as the photos -- maybe better. The delicious smelling leather band is the perfect width and thickness. Not skimpy or fragile looking in the least. Anything beefier would overwhelm the delicate watch, which I believe is the perfect size -- for my wrist anyway, and I am relatively small boned. The holes in the band are very close together -- just another thoughtful Armitron feature that allows for a more comfortable fit. The holes on most bands seem rather far apart, so you end up going from too loose to too tight when merely moving to the very next available hole.



The watch looks worth $300 or more in my opinion, but how does about one-tenth of that price sound?!? Oh, and if you live in dread fear that someone might discover that you are wearing a GASP**Armitron watch, Armitron, it would seem, has taken this into consideration, knowing full well that their brand does not elicit the same magnitude of chills that say, Chris Matthews experiences whenever he comes within 250 nautical miles of the President, so Armitron has unselfishly allowed their designers to seamlessly blend the Armitron name into the silvery face.



Armitron has raised the bar another notch!

this watch is my present to my bf and he is inlove with this watch. it is elegant and you can wear it on sport clothers too. it suits on sneakers, shoes, and on everything. it is very luxorious! i recomend it for girls who whant to give the best surprise and the best present for their man. - Watches - Dress Watches - Mens Watch - Stainless Steel'

Locking Mailboxes - locking mailbox, mailboxes


We were looking for a modern mailbox and this one got our attention. Don't get me wrong, it is beautiful and I love the way it looks but a month after we mounted the mailbox the top part (lid) starter rusting. I am upset because this is supposed to be an outdoor item (can a mailbox be indoor? duh) and for the price I was not expecting to rust so quickly. Umbra 460322-592 Postino Wall-Mount Mailbox, Stainless Steel

Nice mailbox. Size is just about right for small sized packages. I wish the metal was a little thicker but it seems fairly sturdy once mounted. I bought the black one; the finish is perfect on mine. The price is a tad bit high but you are paying for the curved design. If you just want a decent size black mailbox go to the local stores and get the $39.95 box. If you want the looks, get this one.

Modern and sleek look, big enough to fit magazines and small parcels in - this letterbox definitely does the trick. Easy to install; the only reason why I gave four points is that any fingerprints show visibly on the surface and I think it's clearly overpriced when you consider the production costs. Would buy it again.

I was looking for a mailbox that didn't look cheap but also didn't have any of the cheesy, pretentious and kitschy designs you see on McMansions. This mailbox has clean and simple design and is very modern-looking. It is large enough to accommodate magazines and Priority Mail envelopes.

Excellent rapid communications from Amazon.com.

As for the mailbox it is the perfect size in my opinion, terrific styling and capacity. It looks great and met all my expectations. I do feel it is somewhat pricey for what it is. It would probably become a more mainstream product if it were in the range of say $69.99.

I was a little apprehensive about ordering this mailbox because of some of the reviews by previous customers, but I need not have worried. I searched for a stylish brushed stainless steel mailbox for some time before finding this one on Amazon.com. I wanted a contemporary design with sufficient size and durable construction, and this beautiful Umbra Wall-Mount Mailbox fits the bill. I'm very pleased on all fronts: it looks great, was mailed in less time than previously indicated, was well-packaged and was easy to mount. A bonus was the fact that it qualified for Amazon's free shipping, which made the price the best I found for this product.

This looks awesome, also got some silver house numbers. Makes our house (which is the same as many others on the block) really stand out. Don't know why people are commenting about it being sturdy, it seems fine to me, plus if you're hanging it on the house, how heavy can it be?? We live in the chgo area and its holding up just fine in 40 mile an hour winds so don't listen to those comments.

I love everything about this mailbox. I searched and searched for a stainless steel mailbox to go with my house, but it was difficult to find one that looks modern and doesn't cost hundreds of dollars. It's the perfect size and looks exactly like it does in the photo. It was easy to mount and feels sturdy on the wall. I get a lot of compliments on it. Even the mailman commented on it. Who knew that you could be so happy with a mailbox!?

I searched the internet for a modern, moderately priced mailbox. I choose black because it matches our railings. I absolutely love this mailbox. I read all the reviews before buying and was a little concerned about it being flimsy and rusting but we haven't had any of those problems. It is sleek and modern and we have received many compliments. I would recommend this product to anyone who wants to upgrade the look of their current mailbox and doesn't want to spend a fortune. - Locking Mailbox - Mailboxes - Locking Mailboxes'
