Wireless Speaker - outdoor wireless speaker, waterproof

I have had these for about 2 months. They are wireless and rechargeable. I use them to listen to movies outside. With my other assorted powered computer type speakers, people can never hear well enough even when they are at full volume. With these rocks, they ask me to turn the volume down. I haven't been using the rest of the speakers. (Much easier set up.)



However, I just ordered a second pair and today, every time I switch them on, they turn themselves immediately off. I don't know if it is a charging issue or something else. I have been charging them overnight so doubt that that is the problem. Except for this issue, they have been great. Hopefully, it is a little issue on my part.



Stay tuned. Audio Unlimited 900MHz Wireless Rock Speaker Bundle with Dual Power Transmitter (Granite)

Was quite surprised how easy this was to setup and how good the range was. Walked a speaker all around my 3,000 square foot house and yard and never lost the signal! Pretty good bass, and sound, in part because the rocks, well they're big and heavy speakers. Only negative is because of size they're harder to place so as to blend in with the landscaping. But the portability is great, if you have a larger area you can just move them wherever you plan to be.



Don't know how long the battery charge lasts for, I've only tested them as I just got them today, but rest assured you won't stress out setting them up and tying them into a stereo component or digital music player. You'll be pleased with the rrange, and likely the sound. Don't expect a wired Bose experience, but for wireless, pretty darned good!

I needed outdoor speakers for my new mountain home so I settled on these and I loved them so much that I bought a second set for my home. They will work with my laptop, TV,and IPOD. You can buy additional speakers also if you need more sound but I found that these are plenty loud enough. The only complaint I have is there is on adapter so that I can plug my stereo into the dock. But I would definitely recommend these speakers.

I purchased these speakers as replacement for others I had that did not last a year and I could not get in contact with the maker for an explanation of problem. After some time being frustrated and searching for speaker options, I called Audio Unlimited. I was impressed with the expertise, information I received and the professional manner I was dealt with. I bought off Amazon because of price and waited a couple of months to make sure they performed as I was told before rating. "Super Impressed", and I know I can reach the manufacturer and resolve any issue that may come up.



I would highly recommend these speakers to anyone looking for great wireless.



BP

I bought these on a gold special for $99 and had to return them. Cool design and well built. Loud speakers ok sound. Bass is horrible outside. Turning them on and off and adjusting volume was a real pain. Interface is good with an Ipad or ipod. Problem was they had a persistent "Pop". Didn't matter what distance or where they were placed. Device changed and still no go. For the price, I'd look at a name brand solution.

The set up is very is. It just requires some charging. The speakers have a lot of volume. Good base. They go louder than I would dare play them outside for fear of bothering the neighbors. It seems the range is only about 40-50 feet between speakers and base. Anything further the sound fades in and out. The speakers hold a good charge. My wifes iPod dies before the speakers so I can't tell you how long.



Deff worth the money. We use them around our pool and get tons of compliments. I would deff purchase again assuming they last a while. We are only a month in

First impression of the entire system is excellent! I want to use these everywhere!



The Good:

- I love having wireless capability for both the transmitter and speakers.

- I love that the speakers are rechargeable and that to recharge you only have to plug them in.

- I love that both the transmitter and speakers power off after 4 minutes of inactivity. (Have not tested this yet.)

- The sound and volume level of the speakers seemed reasonable off first impression.

- One big complaint of people was not controlling volume except at the speaker but first trial I was able to adjust the volume from the ipod, although the manual recommend keeping the audio device at 3/4 or higher.

- The look and size of the speakers was good. There was some initial concern from reviews about the speaker size, however if you read carefully and review the pictures, then your expectations should be ok, which mine were.

- Getting the system working was very easy.



Open issues until use for some time are:

- Battery life with full charge?

- Battery life until new batteries are needed?

- Where can replacement batteries be purchased?

- How well the speakers hold up to normal, nominal weather conditions

The speakers arrived promptly and were packed very well. They looked nice as I wanted them to blend in with landscaping, however I was really disappointed in the quality. I bought them for the dock behind our house so my husband could have music there while he worked on the boat. I found the speakers to have very poor sound when moved just a little distance from the transmitter. All we could hear was static from one or the other depending on where I moved the transmitter. Needless to say I returned these speakers the very next day. The return process was very easy and my money was refunded within a reasonable amount of time. I would not recommend these speakers.

I purchased these speakers for outdoor patio use. They more than do the job...in fact, the sound quality is better than what I expected for the price. They are very easy to set up and use...you have sound within minutes! They work well with my computer, iPod and television. They even look a little nicer (aethsthetically speaking) and are larger than what I imagined when ordering, so paying attention to the dimensions is important! I have not yet experienced any difficulty or issues with these speakers.



I did quite a bit of comparison shopping and this was a far better deal than anything I saw at Radio Shack, Best Buy or Circuit City. I would definitley recommend them and repurchase if given the opportunity. - Wireless Speaker - Outdoor Wireless Speaker - Waterproof'

I originally chose this product for someone else, who tasked me to find a great bookcase stereo to give as a gift. I ordered it and received it within two days via Amazon Prime. I installed and tested it on Christmas Day. It truly exceeded my expectations in every way. Very attractive layout and veneer, intuitive controls, solid feel, great sound quality. I tested the radio first, then the CD player, then the iPod dock. In all three cases, the performance was very impressive for such a small system. I would compare this very favorably to the Bose system that gets so much advertising. I've listened to that system in several peoples' homes and although it's a good system, I feel the sound quality and appearance of this Yamaha system is superior.



I liked it so much that I immediately ordered a system for our home. I ordered the green color for my friend, but I went with red for our home. It's beautiful and looks very sharp. My wife and I both have iPhones, and we use this system to play our music libraries. It comes with a remote control, which is in itself a very nice little unit. Flawless performance and function. I really have nothing negative to say about this system. It is priced very fairly for its performance, build quality, and appearance. I see another reviewer commented that the speakers cannot be placed adjacent to the unit due to heat buildup. I don't get this at all. The unit never gets hot, and the speakers are placed exactly as shown in the product photographs, that is to say "attached" to the main unit. There are zero issues with heat. I love this little system and I'm sure anyone who takes the chance on one without physically seeing one in the store will be delighted. Anyone have any comments on their experiences or questions, feel free to leave a comment. Yamaha MCR-040DG Micro Component System (Dark Gray)

The sound quality exceeds my expectations especially in such a small package. It is an excellent mini system. I had been searching and auditioning mini systems over the last year for my specific application in our kitchen on top of the refrigerator and selected the Yamaha MCR-040.



It is built with high quality materials; metal face plates for the receiver and speakers, smooth action buttons and volume control; and a sturdy CD tray mechanism. The sound production is very well behaved at all listening levels. Sound quality is the most important performance factor for me. As an audiophile I am always skeptical about the ability to produce accurate and clean bass response with proper mid-range and treble balance from a single driver compact speaker system with no discernible intermodulation distortion; having exceptional bass depth a subwoofer is not necessary.



It has bass, treble, and balance controls with a subtle easy to read cyan dot matrix display (with two level intensity) and an included remote. The speakers have tuned ports on the rear with easy to use spring-clip wire connections and cloth front grills. An unpretentious front panel layout allows it to blend in unobtrusively with any environment unlike many mini systems that often look cluttered or like space age sneakers, yet it has all the necessary features to completely satisfy at a reasonable price point.



I seriously considered the Bose wave due to the small height, several friends have them, this Yamaha's sound quality is far superior in my opinion achieving much higher undistorted volume levels and better tonal balance, it is better than many other mini systems I auditioned from smaller to larger in size and cost. We use the analog audio input sourced from my digital 900 MHz PCM streaming home-wide wireless system, sometimes a 32 GB Kingston USB stick (full of MP3s) which it accesses fine, and the tuner. FM is still important to me and the sensitivity is excellent with superb signal to noise and 30 presets. Voice reproduction is excellent, strings, horns and piano all true to fidelity; Having a wide variety of music, spanning from Strunz and Farah to Jean-Luc Ponty, Led Zeppelin to Coldplay... jazz, rock, classical, blues, fusion, funk, and talk radio, we are very pleased.



The deep chocolate brown espresso is very elegant. There are many mini systems that look over decorated, are only available in black or silver, often flimsy build quality; and sometimes produce vibrations at higher bass volume levels. We are thoroughly impressed with its performance at very low levels and cranked up loud enough shake the windows and dance to, believe it or not - no distortion - no straining - no vibrations.



At about 4 1/2 inches tall and 17 inches wide with the speakers directly next to the receiver-amp (11 inches deep) it fits perfectly on the fridge top under the overhead cabinets. It matches our espresso cabinets as if it is designed for the room. The full function remote is very thin and light weight yet solid. I attached a thin magnet pad with double-sided tape on the remote bottom to enable storing it on the metallic fridge surface for easy access. The remote also works well when bouncing the IR signal off the ceiling when line of sight is inconvenient across the kitchen. One downside is some control functions are only on the remote not accessible from the receiver's front panel.



I highly recommend this high quality superbly engineered Yamaha mini system.







Update 2011-04-14



We still enjoy this Yamaha and continue to have guests comment on the great sound quality.



I have seen two users experiencing shut down after ~ one hour:



We have ours running every morning on FM, and weekday evenings from 5pm to 11pm, weekend days it stays on almost all the time day and night. We use FM in the mornings and portable (line-in) for our wireless streaming device otherwise; sometimes USB memory stick, CDs occasionally. Have never had a shut-off or overheat.



Is the automatic timer-off unintentionally set ? This will cause it to shut down at the preset time you select, and it will retain the setting after power-off. This is in the setup menu, scroll down and "Timer" is where the setting is. A handy feature for those who forget to shut it off.



Now I wonder if I had reset this timer feature when I initially set it up (does it come preset to 1 hour off-time perhaps for energy saving?)



I am curious to find out more about this, I find it hard to believe Yamaha would have a defect of this kind, though all manufacturers can have issues; it seems to be a random occurring issue, but at this time appears to be 1 hour, not more or less, not every user appears to be experiencing this. - Yamaha Home Theater System - Shelf System - High Quality'

Ipad 2 Leather Case

Visit Store Now !!

Yoobao Executive Leather...188g....leather..........kickstand

CaseCrown Bold Standby.....226g....faux leather...kickstand

BearMotion Leather:...........291g....leather .........kickstand

SwitchEasy Canvas:...........392g...."canvas".......3 grooves



I've tested the 4 cases above with an iPad2. Each is a portfolio case. You can find reviews of each online. I found good video reviews of each except Bear.



Three of these are "kickstand" cases. That is, the cover folds back and slips into a notch (the "kickstand") which holds the cover in a certain way that creates a stand. One case (SwitchEasy) doesn't use the kickstand but instead has grooves on the inside cover which the side of the case can slide into to create a stand.



All cases had magnets on the cover that turned the iPad on/off. This function worked well with all of them. Also, none of them had any problem with the magnets turning the case off if you flipped the cover around back, as some of other cases do (I had the latest version of the Yoobao, which apparently fixed that problem in an earlier version).



The Bear Motion was my favorite. The review below goes from lightest to heaviest.



YOOBAO EXECUTIVE. A glove for the iPad that was just a bit too flimsy for me.

Pros:

Very light. By far the lightest. It is basically a thin leather glove that goes around the iPad, and then a thin leather portfolio cover. You barely noticed the extra weight/bulk.



Cons:

1. Though made well, I didn't think it lived up to the vaunted reports of "Yoobao quality" that some other reviewers mentioned. A few of the holes on top were slightly off, and I wasn't really impressed with the look of the black leather and the off-white stitching.

2. The kickstand worked, but not as well as the other two kickstand cases in this review. Because the Yoobao is so light and thin, the cover would slip out of the kickstand notch sometimes if you were moving it around in your lap or in bed. No problem of course if it was static, like on a table.

3. Most annoying to me, the cover magnets were not strong enough to keep the cover closed if you turned it upside down or just grabbed it to carry it a certain way. In other words, the flap would flap open, turning the thing on and then off again when it flapped closed. It seemed to do this every time I picked it up.

4. It offers only a very thin layer between your iPad and the outside world (not a con for me but perhaps for others). It's fine for walking into a meeting or putting in your briefcase. But if you were concerned about the iPad getting banged around and wanted serious protection, it's not the case for you (particularly with the flap issue noted above).



CASECROWN BOLD STANDBY - A well made faux leather case. My runner-up. It is very close in design to the Bear

Pros:

1. least expensive of the lot

2. well made, everything works.

3. second lightest, while giving almost as much protection as the heavier models. Indeed, I would say it's got the best weight and bulk of the 4.

4. faux leather is actually quite nice. Unless closely inspected, hard to tell it's not the real thing. It looks smart.



Cons:

1. The volume buttons are just a tad difficult to reach, you have to kind of push your way in there. (The Bear has a bit of this but it's so slight as not to be an issue.)

2. After handling the Bear leather case, you can kind of tell the CaseCrown is not real leather when it's in your hands. It's just something I noticed. You might not.

3. Perhaps because of its lighter weight and bulk, or its build quality, it's just a bit looser and flimsier than the Bear. This might not sound like much, but over time it started to annoy me. For instance, when you flipped the cover behind the iPad to hold it open, or when you put it in its kickstand to create a stand, the cover had a "looseness" not found in the heavier cases. That is, it would come off its stand, or would flop around a bit, or otherwise just feel a bit loose and cheap. Another minor example is that the cover, while it always worked to turn the iPad off when you closed it, sometimes didn't line up exactly with the edges of the screen the way it did with all the other cases. These examples may seem minor, and perhaps they are, but as I say, after experiencing the feel of the Bear - the looseness of the CaseCrown started to bug me.



BEAR MOTION LEATHER. A really well made leather case. My first choice. It is very close in design to the CaseCrown.

Pros:

1. To me, had the best overall "Feel". Fine leather and acceptable weight. The Bear is 100g heavier than the Yoobao, which to my hand felt acceptable. In contrast, the SwitchEasy is 100g heavier than the Bear and, again, to my taste, was just 100g too much - see discussion of SwitchEasy below). The CaseCrown is similar to the Bear but a bit lighter and cheaper (see below)

2. The case was sturdy and offered good protection all around. It of course offered more protection than the Yoobao. It also perhaps had a bit more than CaseCrown (because it was a bit thicker, but they were more or less comparable) and a bit less than SwitchEasy. It was light enough to carry into a meeting but sturdy enough to throw in a knapsack an feel it was secure.

3. The magnets work flawlessly, closed with a "snap" and kept it closed until you wanted to open it. Best magnets of the lot.

4. The stand worked very well. The best of the kickstand cases, probably because, again, the leather was thicker than with the other two and so everything just stayed in place a bit more.



Cons: All these "cons" are very much a matter of personal taste

1. It's probably about average weight for these things but just slightly heavier than I'd like. If I had my druthers, the weight and thinness of the CaseCrown would be what I wanted, coupled with the quality and sturdiness of the Bear.

2. It's the least "cool" looking of the 4 cases. It's just a conservative black leather case, with no real "flash". SwitchEasy is by far the coolest looking. The Yoobao might also be viewed by some as cool though I personally didn't like it so much. The CaseCrown and Bear are similar, but CC probably edges out the Bear in that the Bear is a bit thicker and boxier.

3. The leather covers almost all of the black borders of the screen. The other two kickstand cases left a bit more black exposed, which I preferred aesthetically, and the SwitchEasy leaves all of it showing (which, again, looks cool). I couldn't find anything functionally wrong with this. Although one reviewer mentioned that it might get in the way of certain programs where you had to swipe to the edge of the screen, I didn't have that experience.



SWITCHEASY CANVAS - A cool, innovative case but for me, a bit too much bulk.

Pros:

1. Exceptionally well made. The strongest and sturdiest of the bunch, probably offering the most protection.

3. The grooves worked well as a stand, though because I use the iPad a lot in bed and on the couch, I think I may prefer the kickstand system, though it really is a matter of taste.

2. To my eye, a very cool looking case, the coolest of the bunch. The "canvas" isn't canvas but some high tech material. The material and design were top notch. I also loved the way the iPad was held in the plastic shell backing so that - unlike the other three - the whole of the screen was uncovered (black border and all).



Cons:

1. Too heavy. This is of course a matter of taste. I tried it for days and really wanted to prefer it, but in the end the heaviness (and the cover issue discussed below) just started to get to me. As I mentioned above, it's just 100g heavier than the Bear but that was 100g too much. I'm a strong adult male. I carry around a laptop in my briefcase all the time. But I wanted my iPad light, and this just made it a bit too heavy for me.

2. Too bulky. Related to the above and, as above, a matter of taste. To me, just a bit too much thickness when you were actually holding it and, for instance, folding the flap back around behind it to work with the screen.

3. The cover. The cover has magnets, which worked fine, but it also has a curved extension that bends over the side and kind of clicks it closed. This extension bugged me. It didn't easily close. You kind of had to push and force it over the side (if you didn't do this, the magnets wouldn't connect and turn the thing off, and the cover would not be secured. I suspect it may have worn in over time, but I used it on and off for a week and it was always a bit of a chore to actually open and close the thing. This really got to be annoying, particularly compared to the others that so effortlessly opened and closed.

4. Since it uses a "groove" rather than "kickstand" design, you had to kind of pull part of the iPad off of the back base (where it was held by Velcro) to put it in the grooves and stand it up. Not a big deal but, again, just an added bit of work that the other cases didn't have. Over time, this annoyed me a bit.

5. I loved the material, but even with the black version that I had, I felt it might start showing stains, hand sweat, etc. over time in ways the leather and faux leather cases wouldn't. However, I'm not sure of this and so it may be an unfair comment.



SUMMATION:

I ended up taking the BearMotion because of build quality, functionality, hand feel and acceptable weight. I wish it had been slightly lighter and thinner (like the CaseCrown) while keeping its build quality/feel (which was better than the CaseCrown) - and of course if it looked a bit cooler -- but I felt for me it was the best of the lot. The CaseCrown was the runner up but ultimately, the feel and quality of the Bear won me over, beating out the slightly lighter, slightly trimmer, slightly cheaper, CaseCrown. The SwitchEasy is a great case, but just too big and bulky for me, and the cover clip bugged me. I didn't like the Yoobao's because it's overall look didn't work for me and, most importantly, the cover flap came open whenever it was tilted. The lightness was a great asset though and the protection it offered would have been enough for me if other factors had been more appealing.



Hope that helps! Bear Motion (TM) 100% Genuine Leather Case for iPad 2 2nd Generation Folio with 3-in-1 built-in Stand for Apple iPad 2 (Latest Generation) Tablet (Black)'

I have been reading all the other reviews over the past few days and some of them made me wonder if the game was worth it or it was gonna be a dud. I was really worried about the aspect ratio in the coop mode. I was worried about the online play. I was worried about the scoring system. I was worried that a game I really enjoyed, Call of Duty 4, was going to be tainted by a bad game. WoW was I ever glad to be wrong.



Let me tell you about Call of Duty: World at War.



Its realistic. Its honest. Its brutal. Its massive. Its haunting. Its chaotic. Its mind-numbingly astonishing. Its everything COD4 introduced and everything COD4 could not be. It hits home. It makes you appreciate the terror our men faced during those times. It makes you realize that war is not pretty, its evil and sick; and the landscapes, buildings and natural surroundings are just as deadly as the people that hide in them.



For those of you who have ragged on this game I think your nuts. The controls are the same. The ranking systems are similiar. The coop play is amazing. The single player story line is terrifying. The maps on multi player stay with you long after you stop playing... the belfry that you can snip from, the cat walk beside the giant water tower that you can hide on, the tanks, the bunkers, the assylum and its haunting rooms, the air field, the normady beach, the cliffsides, the jungles...



I was playing last night on one of the online maps. I was running away from this guy and I had ditched him and found a small hiding place to make a stand and ambush him. As my heart slowed and I gained my bearings I started looking around... thats when I realized I was in a room with bars on the windows and a broken wooden door not far from me. I started examining the room. I looked up and thats when my heart stopped. I saw a long set of pipes that trailed the ceiling and at the end of each set of pipes was a sprinkler or a shower head... I was in a gas chamber. I was standing inside a chamber that was recreated from images out of a WWII concentration camp.



World at War is incredible. It is beyond imagination. I am floored and I am left without anything more to say than - WoW.



Buy this game. If you loved COD4... hold onto your SixAxis controller cause your gonna be blown away.



Happy Hunting and as you play, remember those who have embraced the slumber that they will never be awakened from... who sacrificed their life so you could have the freedom to play a game like World at War.



Never Forgotten! Always Remembered!



Edit:



It is December 22nd and I am reviewing what I previously wrote and I must say that I am even more impressed with COD5 than I originally was. I went back and played COD4 the other day and I was dissapointed at the lack of colors and suspense and at how 'sandbox' the levels are. I have fun with COD4 but to be honest there is just something about COD5 that hooks me.



I must admit that I am fairly new to the COD franchise. I recall playing COD3 I believe or possibly COD Big Red One. But I was not impressed. It was fun. But no high replay value. The WWII stuff was cool but not so much. The game was cheesy and hard and I was not impressed with the COD franchise at the time. When I played COD4 I was really impressed. When I played COD5 I was hooked and I am now a believer in the COD franchise.



I do not want to spoil too much for anyone but here are some small tips. Go online and try the Co-op campaing modes with your buddies. Or rather go head to head with them in a coop competition to see who gains the most points at the end of the session. COD5 is brilliant and I do not regret a day gone by for having bought it. While you are playing look around the maps, use teamwork that you will need to achieve victory against your opponent. I have to admit that I truly enjoy all of the maps. Each map has the perfect place for every kind of player and ever kind of player class. The only problem is others know those perfect spots too but occasionally you find your sweet spot.



So. Once again. Happy hunting and I will look forward to seeing you on the battle field. Call of Duty: World at War

COD WaW is way different than COD4. The first thing you notice is the grainy (almost Sepia) quality of the graphics. That said, the cut scenes and the graphics are better that COD4. Unlike anything made by Ubisoft or Unreal (IMHO their games blow), this games smokes all of the competition.



Cooperative play is an interesting new feature to the COD series. You can play in split-screen mode with another player. Basically, it's solo mode for two (if that makes any sense). If your comrade is injured, your have to find him and administer first-aid otherwise you both die. I have 2 HDTVs and 2 PS3s and sprung for a second copy so my son and I can play cooperatively. It's really cool playing zombie in cooperatiive play. Oh yeah, don't forget to get your raygun in the second level. Check youtube for some good glitches -- especially the one on the second floor in zombie mode (bring a flamethrower and an LMG). Cooperative play on a smaller screens just doesn't work.



I completed solo play in Veteran mode and it took about 20 hours. Yeah, you get killed a lot and it takes forever to complete a mission -- but that's the point. War isn't running into a room full of enemies and hosing them down with your machine gun without getting a scratch. It's about tactics, planning and killing the enemy without getting yourself killed. In Veteran mode, you have no choice other than to plan your moves, use the terrain to your advantage and proceed cautiously. Simply put; it's hard to survive. For some reason, I completed a level where you clear out the artillery from the Japanese caves but it doesn't register as a checkpoint so I got stuck and couldn't continue. If you get stuck like I did the download a saved game from the Internet (for free).



Other reviewers said they completed the game in under 10 hours. I doubt it can be done that quickly unless they're playing at the Rookie level. No way at Veteran level.



There's some cool new fetures too: you can drive and fire a tank, and then there's also a flamethrower. The tank is OK and the trick is to hang back and take out opponents one at a time -- using the landscape as cover against other tanks. If you're up to flaming-up the enemy and watching them burn (some burning much more energetically than others), then this is a ton of fun in a sick kind of way. In story mode, I've done entire levels with only the flamethrower despite its limited range (even though I was packing a LMG too). This is possible because Activision programmed in a feature that the enemy doesn't shoot at you until you get close when holding the flamethrower. You can prove this by switching to another weapon and you instantly get shot at. It's a bunch of fun to burn down trees too. A word of caution: You can burn yourself up if you walk into the flames.



In Veteran story mode, ammo conservation is always an issue. While your teamates seems to have an unlimited supply of ammo, you don't. Swapping your weapon for an enemy's drop is an option but not in all cases. For example, you don't want to drop your sniper rifle for a machine gun. You're better off locating enemies using the scope and picking them off using a lesser weapon that you have a bunch of ammo for.



Online play is good once you level-up to some decent weapons. Keep in mind this is WWII so there's no lasers, night-vision and barely any scoped weapons. Automatics are slow and not too accurate. It takes several body shots to drop a target. I find myself going for head-shots because a single shot does the job. There's a new level called Bootcamp that you can play until Level 8. There's a glitch that you can exploit to level-up more quickly. Once you're in Bootcamp you can stay there indefinately as long as you don't leave. In other words, you can level up to 44 in about 8 hours in Bootcamp.



This game is rated M for Mature. The rating is justified because there is some pretty graphic material and language. For example, when you step on a land mine your legs get blown off. This is way more intense than COD4. - Ps3 Game - Video Games - Fps - Playstation 3'

This product is amazingly convenient. I plug my laptop on the go and also am able to charge my cell phone at the same time. While my husband is driving - I am networking on my laptop. My battery doesn't stay charged too long so being able to have a plug in for my laptop is awesome.



You will not regret buying this item! DC Car Power Adapter for your Toshiba / Dell inspiron / Acer and More Notebooks & Netbooks ** Includes Cleaning Brush and Mouse Pad

I have emphysema and sometimes have to take breathing treatments while away from home. I use the inverter to plug in the compressor to my nebulizer. It works great and I don't have to worry about getting back home in a hurry to take my breathing treatments. It is a major convenience and it truly is a lifesaver.

My kids, like any others, love to fight in the car while on long trips. Having recently celebrated a rather large Birthday, my parents treated me to a laptop. This product enabled us to bring my laptop in the car with us on a recent vacation. The kids now had a new "toy" to keep them entertained and my husband and I had a little bit of quiet.



We plugged this baby in the back outlet while we had the GPS plugged in the front one. Win win situation!

We just took a trip from Tennessee to Texas, and we used the power inverter the whole way and back for our laptop, our cell phones and even to charge up our camera's battery! I don't know what we would have done without it! The swivel feature was a plus also since I have a small car with close quarters! We even used to power our pump to blow up and deflate our inflatable raft(which is mega huge) to boat about the lake on! Thanks so much!

I bought this item to charge my toothbrush and laptop while on expedition in the Ozark National Forest. The laptop primarily being used for photographic editing because there isn't internet service or e-mail, like a real vacation!!! Its compact size and versatility was exactly what I needed. This is a great item to convert your laptop to a mobile computer.

GReat product. Fits comfortably within extra car adapter. Operation is not as noisy as some previously stated feedbacks. I was able to connect my laptop computer and other small gizmos without a problem. The adapter also swivels to comfortably fit within DC outlet area. Also comes with USB cord.

"We were traveling for the Christmas Holidays and my son needed a car charger for his phone and a charger for a dvd player. By buying this item we no longer needed specific chargers for various items. Now we can plug a lot of other things in as well. The end of the device turns so that was good for our standard shifter as well. Arrived on time. Great deal. Love it. " - Power Adapter - Car Charger - Car Adapter - Inverter'

Bluetooth Car Kit - motorola, best bluetooth

Visit Store Now !!

I have owned an H700 revision B that was always difficult to pair with my Motorola RIZR phone, and I was never really happy with it overall. It was always flaky and finally died, so I took it apart to see if I could repair it, it's dead. It has a Broadcom Bluetooth chipset. My brother has the same model Revision C that still works and has been a much better unit overall. I bought both units from different vendors about a month apart, about three years ago at holiday time.



When I looked hard at the various new models I could find very few that sit against the ear, which is what I like. I strongly dislike the kind that fit in the ear canal. I decided that I would try Motorola again but I was really looking at other brands. Motorola has done a fantastic job with this new H720. I have owned it for about a month now and I really like it. It pairs very easily, fits well around the ear and the sound quality is much better. Overall I am very pleased with the new H720.



Buyers should take notice that the new H720 wall charger comes in MICRO USB and they may need or want to purchase new car chargers or MICRO/MINI adapters that convert to MINI USB. All my past Motorola gear (except new H720) has the MINI USB plug. Motorola H720 Bluetooth Headset [Motorola Retail Packaging]

Had the H715 and loved it but unfortunately it died. Purchased the H720 and it's ok but I have almost daily problems getting it to connect. I also do not understand why they replaced the nice big indicator light that the H715 had with the teeny tiny pinhole light on the H720. If you're having any problems and are trying to read the lights while going down the road, you're going to have a wreck because you cannot just glance at it like you could the H715. And if the sun is bright, you can just forget being able to see it at all! Other than that, sound quality is great, comfort is excellent, talk time and standby time are exceptional.

This is the BEST bluetooth I have ever owned.



I had the H710 before this, but my car was broken into and it was stolen. I immediately purchased the newest model of the same Motorola series - this H720 - and am thrilled with it.



First of all, this bluetooth does NOT stick INSIDE your ear. I can't stand the bluetooths that do that. This unit has nothing to stick inside your ear. It is flat and lays flat against your ear. It is also loud and clear so you don't have to worry that you're giving up on sound. As a matter of fact, sometimes it's too loud and you can lower the volume easily. The sound is nice and clear, and there is no lag time - you don't miss the first few seconds of the conversation - it picks up immediately.



The other thing that I really like about this unit is the flip open design for turning it on or off. You flip it open to turn it on, and flip it closed to turn it off. Simple. No guesswork involved. I love the simplicity of it.



This bluetooth has a GREAT battery life, both for talktime and standby.



Another improvement that I really like for this bluetooth over the H710 was that they changed that big round light ring, and replaced it with a small dot light. This way I don't walk around looking like I'm a plugged in robot (as I am WEARING this and the H710 would blink as I walked around!). On the H720 there's a little mini dot light which is enough for me to see if the unit is on or off, and is enough for me to see if it's red (which means that it needs to be recharged). Great design improvement! I can look like a human and not like a blinking android.



And another nice feature is that it sounds a tone when the bluetooth battery is running low and needs to be recharged.



Once you use this bluetooth, you wont want to go back to any of the others on the market. I'm spoiled now and can't imagine ever go back to using the others out there. This one is a keeper!

The Motorola H720 headset would not answer incoming calls when flipping open the boom, which was the only reason I bought this headset, since it avoids pocket dialing the last number called when the boom is closed. I used to have an older Motorola model a few years ago on which that feature worked fine, but eventually that headset went bad and people couldn't hear me at all on many calls.



I went through a nightmare of multiple calls to Motorola to get service. After holding through the voice prompt system, someone in India would come on the line and say that the calls were so backed up, it'd be more than an hour wait, so they'd have someone call me back during a designated time. The NEVER called back, even after I called them on 3 different days. Even worse, they could not keep you on hold if you want to wait more than an hour. If they tried it, it would go through the same voice prompt system and start all over again!



I eventually reached support and they sent out a replacement headset, which had the same problem. They insisted that I had to pay the return postage and that they had no ability to get free shipping label to return it, but I could call back and start another whole process, which would have been fruitless, since it took more than a week and tons of time on hold, etc. I said forget it.



My phone is an HTC Evo running Android (now Froyo version) on the Sprint network. There were just a couple of rare times when it did pick up by swinging out the boom, but even swinging out the boom, waiting to hear the beeping tones that it connected, and then pushing the button on the headset would not answer the call either. On my Evo, Sprint's incoming calls only last 15 seconds (and no way to change it - network thing apparently), so this headset killed my ability to answer most calls. I'd have to leave the boom out, which negated the reason for buying, plus uses more battery power.



Second round of support from Motorola got me a service rep in the Phillipines, who was much nice and more helpful than the previous personal in India. I hadn't returned the first headset yet, which was to be sent back at my cost (ridiculous on a new item), so I pushed for free shipping on both, which he managed to do, even though the previous reps said they had not power or ability to do so.



Now I'm waiting for ANOTHER replacement headset, but I doubt that it will work right either. I would NEVER buy this headset again and I will try to avoid Motorola because of their horrible customer support, which I couldn't even get through to for over a week.



I have been happy with many purchases from Amazon, but to return it, now I'm past the 30 days and I'd still have return shipping anyway. This would have been better if I'd bought it locally and just could easily return it for my money back. - Bluetooth - Motorola - Lightweight - Best Bluetooth'

Compact Flash - compactflash, memory cards

This card is speedy enough for my tastes. Shooting w/ my Nikon D70s in burst mode: I can record 3fps (frames per second) in raw for the first four shots and average 1.5 sec between shots thereafter (by comparison, my extreme IV 2 GB card gets 5 shots off at 3fps and averages 1.0 sec between additional shots). If I shoot with the transcend card in the maximum jpeg setting the results are even better: 3fps for the first 11 shots and 0.9 sec between shots thereafter.



I was able to read 786mb off the card in 48sec (51sec with extreme IV) using my sandisk extreme usb reader. Writing 786mb to the card from my computer (which I never do) was, however, slow: 105sec compared to 57sec with extreme IV. Transcend 16 GB 133x CompactFlash Memory Card TS16GCF133

First, I am not an expert on compact flash cards. However, I use them in my photogrpahic equipment, such as a Nikon D300. I normally use the SanDisk Extreme III CF. I am concerned with two time measurements. The first is how long the CF card takes to record the image after I press the shutter release. The second is how long it takes to download the contents of my CF card to my computer using a card reader.



I bought the Transcend because the record times appear to be very similar to the SanDisk, and I thought I could save some money. The Trascend was less than half of the price.



The Transcend has great recording times. No complaints there. But to download data from the Transcend to my computer using a card reader takes about 8 - 10 x as long as the SanDisk. I don't know why, nor do I really care.



If money is the driving factor in your purchase, and you don't care about download times, then buy the Transcend. If time is money or if you can't wait 45 - 60 minutes to download 4 GB of data from the disk to your computer via a card reader, buy the SanDisk.

I use this compact flash card with the Canon 20D. I picked this particular brand because of its price. It's frustrating to pay top dollar for new technology only to have something faster and large storage capacity come out at a cheaper price is a relatively short time.



The Transcend 4GB card didn't disappoint. I tried it just a few days after receiving it at a track and field event at the local high school. The amount of photos this card will hold will depend upon your camera settings and on the ISO level you set your camera to. (The lower the ISO or light sensitivity setting the smaller the file size.)



The card performed well and one must remember that card speed is only half of the equation. Your camera's internal buffer also plays a role. I had been using an 80x speed card and this particular card I'm reviewing is a 133x speed. I didn't notice that much of a difference in terms of writing time to my card while using the shutter and I think I was faced with a buffer issue. I was taking continous shots of hurdle jumpers and long jumpers and taking as many photos per second as the camera could handle. It was nice having a large card to handle all the photos and not have to worrying about swapping cards.



I think this card is a terrific deal and I think I will get another!

This card is not 133x (Class 20). It is Class 4 at best. Now I see how they can sell it so cheap.



I suspected something was wrong at first when I was recording paltry 640x480 video on my Canon 5D.. This is a 2MB/s task.. I got the little 'buffer filling' warning on the right hand side of the display, indicating the card was not keeping up with the bit stream! What the heck!? This is ridiculous for x480. A good rule of thumb for compressed video is 2Mb/s for 480P, 4Mb/s for 720P, 8Mb/s for 1080P. Find those numbers any number of places. 133x should give me 20MB/s+



So, sick that I had just wasted my money, I plugged the CF to my PC and ran CrystalDiskMark with a 50MB file size, representative of a RAW+JPEG write. To my shock and horror, the card is a CLASS 4! (26x). Ran it again simulating a video stream, same result. Now I understood why the card could not keep up with my Canon DSLR.



I posted the picture proof in the 'customer images' go check it out. If you have an older camera or only need x480 this card would work; but will you patronize a company that lies to you?

Unfortunately, shipping is more than the cost of the card; I'll keep this as an emergency backup for when I forget my quality card.

This card surprised me. I expected it to be considerably slower than my Sandisk Ultra II cards. But once I got a high speed card reader that let me access the full performance of the cards I found that it's actually considerably faster for reading, and only fractionally slower for writing.



I get between 5-7 megabytes per second in my write speed tests, which is roughly on par with what I get from my Ultra II cards. But in read performance I got speeds of almost 30 megabytes a second. Compared to around 10 for the Ultra II.



I should specify that this was with a UDMA capable card reader, the Lexar Pro UDMA reader, among the fastest USB 2.0 card readers out there. Performance on gear that isn't UDMA compatible may be different.



There certainly are faster cards out there, if you're willing to pay for them. For comparison, a fast enough camera can achieve three times the write speed of this card with a card that costs around $85 for an 8 gigabyte model. But you need to ask yourself if you both need that kind of speed and have gear capable of utilizing it.



If you're not in the habit of routinely filling the buffer of your camera, if you don't find yourself constantly having to wait for your camera to write enough data to the card for you to be able to take just one more picture, and you're not currently using high end, high speed cards, this is a card to consider.





Four stars out of consideration for the price/performance and capacity ratio. It's not the fastest card out there, but for the price it offers performance and capacity that's hard to beat. - Compactflash - Memory Cards - 16gb - Compactflash Cards'
