Bluetooth Headset - bluetooth, blueant

Visit Store Now !!

I have been selling wireless since 1996 and have used multiple headsets, hands free solutions, etc. This has the best voice quality of any in-car set up I have used. I was using a Jawbone, which I still have, and is excellent. I am just tired of having something hanging on my ear X hours a day. I am a gadget freak for sure but I am tired of the tool on my ear.



I made some calls at 80mph in my wife's minivan on the turnpike to friends to get their feedback before using it for business and they did no know I was on a speakerphone...that's good enough for me. The voicedialing, as with any voicedialing feature, sucks. They all suck. The voice answer did not work either - say 'ok' to answer...yeah my kids were laughing at me saying 'ok' 6 times and then the call went to voicemail because it never answered. But I expected that...so just reach up and tap the answer button...no worries. My concern was voice quality, and it passed the test.



The auto phonebook transfer to a blackberry will not work from the device but will work if you do it from your BBerry's blutooth menu and push it to the device. It took about 10 minutes for my 1500+ contacts to transfer. I only did that so I could hear the name of the inbound caller, which is cool. The reality is we all have our phones right next to us when the call comes in and we can look at the phone's screen if need be.



01/09 UPDATE: I got a new car and well...I have to turn this off for business calls. It's just not good enough. What changed? Well, just my car. There is nothing worn with the device. So maybe the cars insulation is coming into play? I am driving a C6 Corvette and I am certain it is not as insulated as my previous car (Audi TT) or my wife's minivan. That being said, if your car is well insulated from road noise you should love this device. Cheers, Josh. BlueAnt Supertooth 3 Bluetooth Hands-Free Speakerphone (Black)

Being a fan of the supertooth 2, I got the supertooth 3 for the text to speech feature which is supposed to announce the caller's name based on your address book. Problem is that I could never get it to say the caller's name, instead it will only say the number. I'm using it with a blackberry 8830 and have also tried it with a Mot Krzr with the same results. Contacted the company over the phone who's support is great but they couldn't get it to say the caller's name either and suggested the I send it back. Not good for a new product.



I'm sending it back and we'll see what happens with the next one.



----------------------------------------------

Update 6-13-08:

We still can't get the ST3 to announce the callers name either. We are on our third one after returning two of them. In our company we have BB8830's and Pearls. Tried on both with no luck, only phone numbers are announced. Also tried on two Mot KRZR's also with no luck either. Called vendor three times now and they had me do the batt thing also. They finally said that our vendor may have had a "bad batch". This one is really hard to believe. I called our vendor who is not happy that this "may be the case". I'm now waiting for blueant to send me an envelope to send the unit back and to then send me one directly from the factory.



I'm not holding my breath on this. Guess it's like software... never by version 1.0 of anything. For a few weeks, there was nothing out there (internet search) that pointed to this problem but now it's everywhere.



Aside from that, the unit performs as good as the Supertooth Light verison.





------------------

7-3-08: Still haven't received the product return package from the manufacturer. We are still getting the Supertooth 3 device for clients though because the other "advertised" features do work and work well and so far is the most "hands free".

After much research here on Amazon, I decided to order the BlueAnt Supertooth3 to solve the dilemma of California's new cellphone law. I did not want any such product, but some of the available solutions are definitely less wanted than others. The Plantronics 510 Voyager would be good for a person who doesn't mind wearing gear and doesn't use sunglasses or other glasses, but I'm not a headset/earpiece kinda gal. The BlueAnt Light, with the protruding mic, sounded like a major irritation just because of the temperamental mic that would get stuck. For me, the lack of Caller ID made it unacceptable. I don't answer unnecessary calls while driving. The Jabra speakerphone does not come with a home charger. That is ridiculous, and I would never buy a product that required another purchase, when it should come with it in the first place. I saw so few reviews for the Supertooth3, which was disappointing, but decided to write one myself.



I received it yesterday. It took just under an hour to charge, and it comes with a home charger, car charger and two magnet clips. It wouldn't sync the phonebook from my LG8300, not even one at a time contacts. This means that Caller ID announces the incoming number, not the name, but that is okay with me. I had never used voice dial on my phone, but the Supertooth booklet instructed that one voice tag was necessary on the phone in order to use voice dial. So I made one voice dial call from my phone, and then tried it on the Supertooth. It worked fine. I can say, "Call Sonia Home", and it dials Sonia's home phone as opposed to her cellphone. In order to enable handsfree voice answer, one must depress the volume button until it gives the voice message that it has been done. Another reviewer of the BlueAnt Light said that the flashing blue light was driving her insane, but that light lets you know the device is working as it should. For some reason, it was not flashing right after I got it and not working, but I assume that is because I did not know how to use it.



The most annoying thing by far is in the way I have to use it, due to the fact that if I get out of my car and am within 30 feet, the BlueAnt will answer the call and I can't take it on my phone. I make many short trips and in and out of buildings at a short distance. So I have to turn off the Supertooth3 before I get out of the car, and turn it back on when I get back in. What I don't know is whether it is necessary to re-enable the voice answer by depressing the volume button every time I turn it on, but that is what I have been doing. I also wonder if these devices are made to withstand the extreme heat in the car in summer. I certainly hope so, because we have weeks at a time of 100+ degrees. I also hope it is made sturdily enough to handle being turned off and on frequently.



The voice quality of calls both ways is better than the Garmin Nuvi 360 by far. The magnets are strong. The clip was kind of hard to get on my thick visor, and I won't be able to use the business card slots on the back of the visor, but the device is small and it looks cute. It's easy to take it with you and reattach it. The battery life is said to be 800 hours if you never turn it off, and much more if you do. I will be turning it off every night.



I'd say this is the best product for this purpose, which for me is simply to comply with a law that I wish had not been passed. I find all devices to be a distraction, and a cellphone alone is less distraction than in combination with other things. Guess what? Californians can still text message while they drive!

Nook Screen Protector - kindle, accessories

Visit Store Now !!

I'm going to do something I don't normally do. I'm going to start my review by begging you to buy this product when you're in the market for an e-reader screen protector. Seriously, don't get the other junk. You won't be happy, and then, once you do switch to this one, you'll see what I was talking about... After giving some other company your money for their unusable garbage.



M-Edge knows the e-reader business, apparently. All their accessories are decent (although a shade over-priced). However, you get quality with M-Edge, which is something lacking in the knock-offs.



Here's how it all went down for me:



I needed a screen protector for my Barnes & Noble Nook. I shopped around. The official one offered by B&N is *way* too pricey considering you only get one screen protector in the package. The knock-offs you'll find here and on other sites are much cheaper, so I decided I'd take a chance and spend a few bucks (plus shipping) to get one of those lower-cost screen protectors.



After applying the "anti-glare" knock off, the first thing I noticed (aside from the poor fit; It was a millimeter too big for the LCD screen) was that their idea of "anti-glare" apparently works out to mean "reflects like a shiny mirror". It was terrible. I've no doubt that it would protect the screen, but it also completely ruined the look and function of the e-ink screen. Who can read a book when your face is reflected back at you?



I removed the stupid knock-off and started looking for an alternative. Again, the B&N model didn't please me. I'm not spending fifteen bucks for just one of these things! Not when the application process, if not done *perfectly*, can ruin the screen protector. I wanted some back-up. I wanted some chances to screw it up, just in case!



Enter M-Edge. I found their product at brick & mortar store, and researched online. Oddly, I found no reviews. In fact, mine seems to be the first review for ANY of the M-Edge screen protectors on Amazon! OK, so that was a dead end. Luckily, I had a gift card for the Big Box store, and despite the fact that I was gritting my teeth at the price (twenty bucks) I decided to go for it and blow my gift card on the M-Edge version.



Now, as an aside let me give you a tip on applying these things: Do it in a bathroom, with the door closed, after running a steamy shower. You don't want the room totally "steam-up-your-glasses" steamy, but you want there to be some slight moisture in the air. Why? Because it keeps dust particles from floating around, and gives you a "clean room" in which to apply the screen protector with a far lower chance of dust getting on the screen during the application process. Trust me: It works (just be careful you don't dunk you electronics in the toilet! And don't do it IN the shower, either!)



Using the above method, I managed to get my first screen protector on with no problem... Except that I didn't wipe my screen well enough with the included microfiber cloth, and ended up with a dust mote under it. Being the picky sort, I stopped applying that one (but kept it as a backup) and tried again. Success! And since there were three for each screen, I still had one fresh, unspoiled set remaining!



With this M-Edge screen protector on your e-reader, you can't even tell it's there. It's a TRULY matte screen protector, and doesn't reflect anything. It looks great; Just what you want a screen protector for an e-reader to look like: INVISIBLE.



The touch-screen protector was also just as simple to apply, and worked just as well. The touch screen works great with it on. No problems whatsoever!



THE GOOD:

* Totally invisible if applied correctly.

* Truly matte surface, so it does not make your e-reader reflective or shiny.

* Three in one package is a good value compared to "official" versions that only include one.

* Excellent lint-free microfiber cloth is included (good for use on your e-reader (or glasses!) afterward)

* Fits Barnes & Noble nook, Amazon Kindle, and Sony Reader Touch.

* Includes LCD touch screen protectors for Barnes & Noble nook.

* Seems to be less "touchy" during application process than competing knock-offs.



THE BAD:

* On Barnes & Noble nook, the e-ink screen protector is about 1.5mm too short if you start flush with the bezel. It's not that noticeable, but it could fit a *little* better.

* For the price, I'd have expected they'd include a nice little plastic widget for applying the screen protector, instead of having me use a credit card.

* While it's a good value compared to direct competition, it's still pretty pricey for six sheets of plastic and a microfiber cloth.



THE UGLY:

* Nothing. This product doesn't have any failures or major problems.





BOTTOM LINE: This is the best screen protector kit for the Nook, Kindle, or Sony Reader Touch on the market, and the best value considering you get three protectors in one package (six for the Nook, technically). Please, please, please don't waste your time or money on the cheap knock-offs. They just don't compare. They're not even the same product, really. Yes, this is pricey, but trust me: You'll be happy you spent the money for the better product.

Neckband Headphones - nike, running headphones

Visit Store Now !!

These are the best headphones I have ever used. I cannot find them in stores so I am now buying them online. I cannot wear the ear bud headphones, which everything seems to be switching to. These headphones are amazingly comfortable and stay put during exercise. I LOVE the fact they the part around the ear is not made of felt, it is rubber. There are times when I am running on the treadmill for 2-3 hours and, obviously, I am quite sweaty afterwards. I do not want my headphones to take forever to "dry out". Especially because I keep them in my purse. After a workout, I can just put these in my purse and not have to worry that they are soaked.

I am having to replace my current ones because the sound is only coming out of one ear, which has happened with every single pair of headphones I have ever bought. With how often I wear these and where I store them (my purse), I am surprised they lasted as long as they did.

I do not have a problem with comfort with these, and the sound is perfectly fine. If you wear headphone while you are working out, these are the best headphones that you can get. Philips/Nike Aero SHJ070 Feather Light and Secure Neckband Headphones (Semi-Clear)

I originally bought these headphones about a couple of years ago for working out, that were not the type that you have to fit inside your ears (don't like them), were comfortable, stay put, and were worth the money (given the price). I paid a little over $40. About a year later, they stopped working, sound would only come through one side. I thought that it might have been me, or something else.



As I really liked how comfortable they were, I went ahead and bought another pair...silly me. About a year later (now) the same thing happened and they stopped working. Only one side would work. So this is certainly a manufacturing problem. I came back to Amazon thinking that I'd buy them again, but they increased the price to almost $55 (yes, I do remember how much I paid as I bought them twice) and don't think it's worth spending $55 for a pair of headphones I know won't last.

I workout 4-5 times a week and these are the best headphones I've ever owned. Not only are they comfortable, they stay on even if you're upside down. Great sound, so much better than earbuds. The only "down" I have to say about this headset is I've had to replace them many (4) times because the wire inside the cord breaks and you lose sound in one side of the headset. But this has happened with every headset I've ever owned, so I will countine to buy this model because of the great sound quality and wearing comfort.

I am an avid runner and have found it hard to find a good "sweat resistant" pair of headphones that stay on my ear. I was using ear buds for awhile but as I would sweat the sound would get blocked and the earbuds would fall out. Since these have a sweat resistant coating over the ear piece and they wrap around the back of your head this problem is avoided. I don't like using these for day to day useage because the cord runs behind you which is a pain for sitting/standing. Best suggestion get two pairs of headphones and make these the running pair.

This product is great.... for a while. A short while. This is one of my favorite sets of headphones but they just don't last. 2-3 months for me. I've gone through two. I like it but the price is too steep for the limited durability.

Do not buy these headpones.

Headphones are very light weight and comfortable. The sound on them is very crappy. Half of my music on Ipod can't be tolerated due to the high treble output on these. I can play same song using a MUCH cheaper headset and music is great. These seem to have little to no base to them. They are way over priced. Gave it 1 star for comfort ONLY. Do not buy them!

Would have been great headphones if only their life expectancy were longer. Bought them twice and each times Aero lasted about 2 months of active use with careful handling. Bought times the left side stopped producing sound

Unfortunately, these sound sub-par and they do not stay secure. The definitive workout, behind-the-neck headphones were the Sony MDR G57 S2: http://www.amazon.com/Sony-MDR-G57G-Sports-Headphones-Reflective/dp/B000066CCU



For $40, these lack ear retainers, sound ok at best, and look pretty stupid.



Sony had it perfect then discontinued the above link for no reason. I am puzzled.



-----------



Edit: I have further decided that these are complete garbage for $40. I am returning them. They sound tinny, are not secure on my head, have an inconveniently placed exiting cable, poor plugs that are already starting to static after only a few days, oh yeah they shift around and they look stupid.



In the mean time, I have already bought and received Sennheiser Adidas PMX 680 Sports Earbud Headphone with Volume control & Neckband which fit VERY well, cost the same and sound exponentially better. The choice is clear, do not waste your time with these things. - Running Headphones - Sport Headphones - Earphones - Nike'

Portable Dvd Case - portable dvd case, dvd player carrying case

This case worked out perfect. I used it on a 10 hour road trip. It held my 9in Sony dvd player perfectly no wigging at all. I hung it over the back of the drivers seat instead of between the front seats where the console is. It even has an inside pocket behind where the dvd player sits that holds any extra stuff. I put my wires and remote for the dvd player in the pocket. Case Logic PDVK-9 7 to 9-Inch In Car Portable DVD Player Case (Black)

I bought this case to use with my Brand new Sony DVP-FX950 and it fits perfectly.



I could store the Portable DVD Player, cables and remote control, everything that I need to keep organized and travel with.



Great quality.

I purchased this case for a nine inch Philips portable DVD player. The fit is very good with enough room on the side to plug-in the AC adapter. I suspect with a 10 inch DVD player, the fit would be tight. Installation was easy. There was one reviewer who commented that too many straps were required. I find this to be untrue. The number of straps is appropriate for stability and using the straps was extremely easy. The case has a separate compartment with plenty of room for additional AC adapters, DVDs, remote control, manuals, unused straps. Since security is a concern for some people and you may not wish to leave your DVD player in the vehicle unnecessarily, this carrying case is very convenient because you simply need to release the Velcro belt loop from the main horizontal strap, unsnap the two straps at the bottom, and your DVD player and case will be free in a matter of seconds. I would highly recommend this carrying case and if I ever need to get another DVD player, I would definitely purchase this item again.

Bought this to go with SOny 9 inch DVD player (950). Easy to mount in car. Could use a bit more storage space for extra DVD's but accommodates straps and cables with ease. DVD player fits good, the only problem is plugging in the AC Adaptor. But i managed to plug it in while mounted in the car, with a little tweaking.

I like the quality that I received for the money but the straps are kind of complicated and messy. They should have a better system not only for the car but in general to use it like outdoors. But overall you can protect your DVD player and somehow display it inside the bag.

I love this carrier. It is very easy to use. I like to take our dvd player down when I am nervous it could attract someone to break in our car. WIth this carrier is so easy to take off and hide it under my seat. It hold the player securely and stores a few dvds behind it. - Dvd Player Carrying Case - Portable Dvd Case - Sony Dvd Player'

The FitForm Inversion Table is a quality product with a great price. There are a lot of inversion tables that do the same exact thing as the Fitform table at twice the price. It was very easy to assemble as it came practically assembled for you and the table is very sturdy and easy to move around. It's very comfortable around the ankles and easy to use. I just wish the back was made of foam or something a bit thicker but for the price, I can't complain. FitForm Inversion Therapy Table by Teeter Hang Ups

I spend hours looking for the best item in terms of price and performance whenever I buy anything. So let me tell you this inversion table is excellent. I originally was looking at the cheaper tables for $90. What made me decide to buy yhis teeter table is



1. The rotating part is bolted not welded.

2. Even though people said the other tables took an hour or in some cases was realtively easy, this teeter table is very easy to put together. Took me maybe an easy 30 mins. I have experience putting stuff together and even if the cheaper tables were just as good quality, the extra $100 was worth the non aggravation.

3. It is comfortable as it can get flipping you upside down.

4. The DVD is good.

5. The packaging was excellent.



I have no regrets buying this teeter table. OK now stop shopping around and wasting your time. Buy this one. It will make all my efforts and time spent worthwhile. Enjoy.



I am not a doctor, but I have found it has helped my backproblems. At first I was not sure if it was making it worse, but now it seems to be helping. I have had this for about 3 weeks (estimate).



It folds easily but not sure how well it stores as I have not tried. It does take up room but I still like it.



Again, you can compare as obsessively as I did. Bottom line, no aggravation putting it together and when you are done you are left with a quality product with all the parts and a comfortable experience.



This is not a paid advertisement. I just like to give credit where credit is due.

I was almost ready to have surgery on my back for a severe sciatic pain problem. I tried the inversion table and after just one 5 minute treatment I was pain free for the first time in over 4 months. I now use it 3-4 times a week for just 5 minutes per time and I have been pain free for over 7 weeks. A friend had a similar problem and tried mine and is now waiting for delivery of her FitForm Table.



The best purchase I have ever made.

Thanks to all of the reviews, I went with this one for us. I am 4'11", my husband is 6'1". Fits us both without a problem. Ankle support is great. The DVD instructions were very informative! I was pleasantly surprised!

Definitely a very sturdy product - If you are under 6'6" and under 250lbs. This is perfect for you. Do not spend any more money on another!

I have suffered from low back pain for 25 years and have an ongoing relationship with the latest chiropractor in my area. Chiropractic helps a lot but I usually don't go often enough and for years I have had a hard time standing up straight because of my low back stiffness. I am totally convinced that these type of tables really work. I use mine about every day and I feel better immediately and I am walking much more upright on a regular basis these days. I chose the fitform over the ironman gravity because the reviews talked about ankle comfort and I felt that the extra $57 would be money well spent. The table does its best to ensure ankle comfort with a nicely padded ankle cup and good rollers but I weight 250 lbs. and my ankles still get very sore. I would probably use it even more often if it didn't hurt to use it. But I still love this table and it is easy to use and I will probably use it for many years. On the plus side it seems to be made very well except that the back table you lay on is not padded- it is just some nylon fabric stretched taughtly across the frame and it is a bit uncomfortable. Once you are hanging upside down completely you don't even touch the table anymore and it might even be just fine for a shorter person anyway (I am 6'3"). All in all it is a great experience and I think it has aided in my overall health too.

An excellent machine. It is well designed, robust, and simple to set up (even including the tools). The ankle clasps (what else to call them?) are as comfortable as can reasonably be expected. I cannot imagine how spending more $$ could have improved it much.

FitForm Inversion Therapy Table by Teeter

I love this table. Really helps with my back problems. It is sturdy, ankle straps are comfortable and secure. Comfortable to the back, easy to assembly. Especially liked the video included with the table. I would recommend to anyone. My husband and I both use the table and are pleased with this product. - Stretching - Inversion - Back Pain - Inversion Table'

Just finished your book! Like a great record album it is perfectly sequenced. I have read all of these multiple times and I kept reading wanting to know what was next. It feels like a conversation with you - intelligent, profound, funny, heartbreaking, enlightening.



I love the turn it takes after the first third when nostalgia through a modern lens gives way postmodern social critique, signaling a seismic shift from comforting sepia to brazen technicolor. Exhilarating and shocking and authentic. A fully realized being laying bare every influence Secrets of an Old Typewriter: Stories from a Smart and Sassy Small Town Girl

A child of the 1940's and '50's, Sexton aptly describes her autobiographical stories as 'sassy.' She visits various topics as a senior citizen looking back through her personal history, colored at times by old TV shows, movies and song lyric references. There are few political comments and little political bias. She is a vegan and animal lover. Her treatment of religion will no doubt be considered irreverent by fundamentalists, but she calls it like she sees it and as a free-thinker, lifts up the hypocrisy of time-honored conventions. The writing is sporadic at times, morphing into poetry on occasion, sentence fragments and stream-of-consciousness narrative. I was reminded of Vonnegut as I read this relatively short book, at times poignant, scathing, and compassionate. It is worth a second read sometime in the future. This was an eBook copy submitted in exchange for an honest review.

Poetic, energetic. Sentimental, temperamental. Those stories I could relate to were easy reading and enjoyable. Some I just didn't get and a few weren't in line with my political bent. All things considered, it is a fun read and I would recommend this book to some of my friends. - Animal Stories - Classic Film - Celebrities - Essays'
