Panasonic SH-FX85 Wireless Multi-Room Audio Kit Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The unit receives wireless signals from my Panasonic 3.1 home theater system very well. However, volume level of the unit is disappointing as is the sound quality of the speakers. I had hoped to use this device on my patio to replace my old boom box CD player. At full blast, the volume is barely adequate for the patio and my old boom box has much better sound quality. The absence of bass is very noticeable on the wireless unit. Too bad Panasonic couldn't have coupled the good wireless transmitter/receiver of this unit with a decent set of speakers. I'll likely wind up using this unit as a rear speaker set up for the 3.1 home theater system since the bass response doesn't matter that much for that use.

Amphony Digital Wireless Headphones Model 2500 - Headphones ( ear-cup ) - wireless - radio Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)These wireless headphones sound great. I have tried a couple of different 900MHz headphones and was very dissapointed in the static I would hear on them all of the time. I discovered these when looking for a pair of digital ones on the internet. These sound great and work throughout my entire house. They would get 5 stars except for a couple of minor needed improvements:
1. There is an occational clicking sound when walking around. If you are not moving, you don't hear any clicking. It isn't a big deal and doesn't distract from the music or TV.
2. The headphones are a bit tight on my head, and I think I have a normal size head.
3. The battery compartments are a little hard to open.
4. It is really hard to find a dealer that sells them.
Other than that, they are great. They have normal stereo RCA connections, but also have an optical digital connection if your receiver has optical out.
So, don't waste time with 900MHz, get these instead.

Nextbase CLICK9 Dual Screen Portable DVD Player with Headrest Mount Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)One thing that interested me in this product was that it is supposed to "Play all region DVDs and all formats including DivX, VCD, CD, DVD+/-/R/RW." However, this is not the case. There are numerous store bought DVDs that I have tried to play in the DVD player and "This disc is not formatted to play in this region" appears across the screen. I have owned the DVD players for about a month now and I have come across about eight of my DVDs that do not work in the players.
I do like the sturdiness of the screens and the way they hook up in vehicles, but what is the point if half of your DVDs wont play in them.

JBL Reference 610 Wireless Headphone (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have been using these headphones recently with my iPod touch running the new 3.0 software update, and I would have to say that I am mostly happy with the results. The two pair up really easy, I just leave the bluetooth on on the iPod and all I have to do is press power on the headphones and then play once to connect, and play once more to hear music. The range is fantastic, I plug my iPod into the computer at work when the battery is low and I can walk all over the mailroom floor with no interruptions. One thing I do enjoy is the nice deep bass these provide. I am sort of a bass junky though and others may find it a bit too much.
My complaints would have to be that 1.) I am not to fond of the shape and size of them. The headband sits behind the cups and it feels like they are always going to fall off your head, and they are pretty big. 2.) Not all the functions work with the iPod Touch. I can use play and pause, as well as volume adjustment. However I can not skip songs. I believe this is an issue with the iPod software/hardware rather than the the headphones though because when I used them on an iPod nano and classic with the dongle they worked great, and you could even navigate the menus and everything. 3.) Occasionally they will cut out and it sounds a bit like a CD skipping but nothing so sever that I am upset by it. 4.) They are hot. The leather(?) around the ear cups fits really well and keeps the sound of my rather noisy job out, but they keep the heat in just as well, and often I have to take them off because they simply get too warm. Lastly I kind of wish they had a mic built in so I could pair them with my phone, but this is not really a complaint more than it is just a wish.
I hope this review was helpful and I do recommend these headphones to anyone looking for a great set of bluetooth headphones. Thank You.

Sony STR-DH800 7.1-Channel Audio Video Receiver (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I know just enough about Audio to be dangerous but I'm not a true audiophile (or whatever they're called). So I don't know how an average person would figure this out when it took me an hour and a half on the phone with Sony support before THEY figured it out.
Now this is my second Sony receiver and I purchased this one specifically to go along with my brand new Sony BDP-S360 Blu Ray player. I used brand new HDMI category 2 cables into the receiver and then out to my Sony HDTV. This is suppossed to be the BEST way to get true no-loss sound decoding and picture. Well I was shocked when my receiver was NOT decoding DTS audio. All Dolby Digital tracks were playing in perfect 5.1 surround sound...the DTS tracks played back in Linear PCM stereo. So after I read the manuals, updated the firmware and set everything right then trying a few DVDs and Blu Ray discs I contacted Sony Support via email. Several exchanges later they asked me to call in to better troubleshoot my issue. First I talked to the blu ray guy (since I wasn't sure which device was causing the issue) and after resetting the player and checking all the setting I was transfered to the Audio department. Once again we reset the machine to factory setting, checked all the set ups and still nothing changed (Did I mention that I had to unhook and reconnect several cables and I even had an optical cable running to my old Sony Reciever?). Then 1 1/2 hours into the phone call he asked if I was getting audio through the TV speakers which I was and he said "oh its set to TV + Amp". So we changed that setting to just "Amp" and bingo...DTS surround sound!! I said "but that's the factory default setting". He told me where the info was in the manual but I checked an NOWHERE in the manual does it say that when using the receiver as a passthrough via HDMI inorder to decode a DTS signal the receiver must be set to "Amp" only and not the default setting of "TV + Amp". What the...??
So now the receiver works great even decoding the new DTS-HD Master Audio off my "Watchmen" Blu Ray disc. But be warned that if you use the HDMI inputs to decode your surround sound be sure to change the system to "Amp" instead of the default "TV + Amp" unless you enjoy stereo sound from your suround sound system. This may be the case for other Sony receivers so be aware when buying that factory default setting may not allow for optimum performance and the Sony guys might not be aware of this little fact if you call them.

NETGEAR Wireless Digital Music Player Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Now that I have this set up it does exactly what I wanted it to very well -- that is, in a wired network environment, it streams all the mp3 files that I have on my PC's hard drive through my traditional two-channel audio setup. It has a number of limitations: it doesn't support Internet radio, except for a paid service, and it doesn't support various rights-protected data formats. But it does do the one thing I bought it for extremely well: allowing me to enjoy my entire music collection in an organized, well catalogued way, through my home audio system.
As this whole field of products is still pretty new, I also didn't want to spend more money on one of the more advanced systems -- it seems that the customer feedback on all of these media players remains pretty mixed. So I stuck with something relatively simple, and this little box does what I want for a reasonable price. (Previously I was using my iPod on a docking station, connected to my stereo...for the modest price of this Netgear player I've now liberated the iPod that previously was wired up to my stereo.)
A couple of cautions:
1. A lot of the customer problems cited here at Amazon seem to relate to problems with wireless transmission. I did not even try to set this up in a wireless network; I just hard-wired it into the network port I had installed in my living room. I have had a lot of frustration in my home w/wireless devices so finally just gave up and dropped in wiring for a home network while I was having other electrical work done in my house. I am glad I bit the bullet -- the wired network is saving me a lot of time and trouble. This Netgear product is just one example of the kinds of things that are very happy tethered to a wire that seem to be much more problematic when they are wireless.
2. Throw away the software disk that comes with the hardware -- don't install it!. Instead, download the new software and firmware that is on Netgear's site. I couldn't get this to work at all at first -- tech support advised me to uninstall the provided software, download the software update on their site, and start over. This got more complicated than it sounds because I'd already built a database of songs for the Netgear and I had to hunt down this database file and kill it, too...it got a little bit tricky...so it took me a couple of hours in all to get this fixed. Had I started with the new software posted on Netgear's site, I would have had the whole thing done in 20 minutes. In any case, just go right to netgear's site and download their new software, and don't use the junk they ship with the product.
I also found netgear's tech support to be very, very good -- they answered the phone quickly (on Christmas Eve!) and were extremely helpful and patient.

Saitek A-250 Wireless 2.1 Speaker System - Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)First the limitations: You cannot get sound out of both your desktop speakers and the A-250 at the same time, and the wireless connection is only about 85% reliable, even within its advertised range of 30 meters. Sound cuts out if there are too many thick walls between the transmitter and the speakers. Also, other electronics, microwaves, and my 2.5 GHz cordless telephones can interfere with the signal to the A-250.
If you can tolerate these limitations, then you can consider the great pleasures of the A-250:
-- Easy set-up. It honestly took me three minutes to get sound from my XP system using RealPlayer to the A-250. You plug in the transmitter to a USB port, press the blue button on top of the transmitter for two seconds, put batteries into the speaker unit, and then turn it on.
-- Very good sound. For a wireless system, the A-250 produces very good, albeit not very loud, sound. When the signal is strong, the sound is better than FM though not as good as wired, of course.
-- Simple controls. From the A-250 you can pause, play, skip a track forwards or backwards, and control the volume.
-- Works with my Palm Zire71. Saitek includes a 3.5mm jack, which when plugged into my Palm, played sound well through the A-250.
-- Fast support. I emailed Saitek regarding the limitations, and someone wrote back within a day to tell me that the limitations are not surmountable.
Summary: If you don't mind playing sound only out of the A-250 in a different room with few walls between it and your system, and if you don't mind imperfect sound, then the A-250 is for you. I will keep mine, since I can tolerate these limitations and I love my music on the deck and in the kitchen.
