Power supply is 110V only, so don't go buying this for any friends in Europe or the rest of the world. It is also pretty difficult to find a 12V 2A power supply to replace the one provided.
Other than that it does what it says on the tin.

In the age of ever shrinking electronics, finding the right music system for your room is not only a challenge of size but of value and usability.
My husband and I have hemmed and hawed for sometime before we finally decided to go with a stand alone system WITH an iPod attachment. We simply couldn't see the sense of trapping ourselves in the iPod only alleyway. Is it wrong to still want to play cds from time to time?
The Panasonic Micro System is super compact and sleek; even the most ardent of techno-aesthetic lovers could appreciate the design.
True, the sound isn't the same as our surround-sound system downstairs, but I didn't expect that for $120.
Overall, love this little system (especially the sleep mode) and would recommend it to those with three motivations in mind: economy, space and versatility.

I was looking for some ultra portable battery operated speakers for my iPod, and had set my eyes on one by Sony when the store attendant reccommended this. I have to admit, I wasn't too impressed when I saw it (the Sony one was a much sleeker design and was powered solely by power drawn from my iPod) but when I tested it with my iPod, I was blown away by the sound quality, much more distinct and louder than the Sony one.
After sawing vigorously through the rock-hard plastic casing (which loads of manufacturers feel obliged to use these days), I was able to get to the speaker. It is really tiny (sits in the hand of my palm) and sturdy with no soft bits to get damaged when packed in luggage (it sure feels like it could take a few knocks and still be fine). As others mentioned, it is rather tough to open the battery compartment (it is powered by 3 AAA batteries which last for 24 hours) or to switch on and off if you don't know how to. However, the shop attendant showed me how to and it's

This is a great little player. Good sound (don't use the included headphones though), FM radio, and with a firmware upgrade, it is even better! Works well with Ubuntu Linux, and again, even better with the firmware upgrade!
I highly suggest you upgrade the firmware. You either need to do this in Windows or do a search for the download to do it in Linux. Just download the zip file, extract, and put the .bin file in the player root directory. With the upgrade Linux will recognize the player as a music player instead of just a flash, and will open up on a music player. Additionally it will add added audiobook and podcast support and folders. It will also allow the player to recognize .ogg files, which is a great addition for even better quality music files!
Radio is a great feature but reception is a little weak. That is common among MP3 players, as you really don't have room for an antenna. Great buy for the money. Don't waste money on that product from the fruit company. You

I bought it because I dropped my Zen W hard, really hard and broke it and the prices on Zens at that time had doubled. I wanted a player that was compatible with Napster because I love Napster, but there were none in the comparable price range with Zune. When I found out that Zune has it's own subscription service which in theory was just like Napster, I bit.
But it's so unintuitive, slow, regulated, allows me so little choice about how I sort my music, I just bought another Zen. Even though I'll have to redo all my playlists for the second time in just a few months, it's WELL worth it to be rid of the Zune. In the long run, it will save me time and frustration.
The sad truth about this product is that it is typical of the lazy, let's put the least effort into that we can and they'll buy it anyway mentality that Microsoft has had for years. When Word and Excel first came out, they were revolutionary, but aside from some minor cosmetic stuff, despite many expensive upgrades, they

I purchased the iPod Touch 16gb "with software upgrade" and was told that included future firmware and software upgrades. Now Apple is charging an extra fee to upgrade to the new iTouch firmware. So we paid extra for nothing.
Don't bother with the software upgrade at purchase since you will have to shell out again for the same thing.

I'm going to go out on the limb and say that I'm not exactly a fan of the Ipod. It seems that everywhere I look, I see the ubiquitous optical circle of conformity that is the Ipod's interface. To be frank, I'm sick of it. But thankfully enough, my aversion to conformity has led me down the path of looking at options generally overlooked by the common mass of consumers.
The Sony NWZ-A728 is quite possibly the best sounding mp3 player currently on the market. Sure, competitors such as the Cowon D2 perform better in terms of a flat EQ, but none of these other players pack the signature "Sony Punch". And none of these players bundle with ear-buds or headphones that sound as the good as the MDR-EX82's included with this walkman. So all in all, I can safely assure you that this is the best sound you can get "out of the box". Vocals are excellent. Clearbass comes as a welcome substitute to the "bloated" sound that megabass delivered. I find that the included buds provide enough fidelity

Think about the humble clock-radio. Everybody has one. They've scarcely changed in the last two decades. They have poor sound quality. Are usually in a bedroom where radio reception can be poor--and are usually given only a crummy wire antenna sticking out the back. With some, you can play a CD, just as CDs are being superseded by other digital music. Few can access the wealth of programming on satellite. Not a twenty-first century device.
This device brings the clock-radio into the 21st Century. It connects to your Wi-fi at home, and delivers almost any radio station you want from around the world.
NPR junkies can choose from a brace of stations, and the worldwide selection is superb--let me recommend Radio National and Directions in Groove from Australia, KQED and WNYC (the AM version; you'll get AM radio in hi-fi!), Deutsche Welle in English, Radio Netherlands, and of course, the BBC. Living in a non-English-speaking country, it's a real life-line for me.

I have had my Coby MP3 player for about a month now and it worked it great from the start. Read the user manual from cover to cover and couldn't believe how easy it was to use. This player also comes with a USB cable (even though you can insert the player directly into a USB port for direct transfer), a AAA battery, and ear bud headphones. You can also store all kinds of files (Word, Excel, JPEG, etc). A great value! I wouldn't hesitate to purchase another Coby product in the future.

Buyer beware. The Inno is a good product. XM IS NOT COMMERCIAL FREE. You will not find that on the XM web site. It is a classic advertising ploy. Once you are a subscriber, you will endure the growing commercials which you were trying to escape from regular radio in the first place.

first off, i think these earphones are great, especially at the low price that many others got theirs for. im not too crazy about all that cord stuff and build, as long as it doesnt break. i care about the most important thing, SOUND QUALITY. as stated by one of the reviewers, i feel exactly the same way, i am spoiled by the vmoda vibe. the bass is good, but not deep and powerful. treble is so-so. i actually found it unclear that i had to adjust the eq on rockbox to makeup for the quality so it doesnt drive me crazy. when compared to the vibe, it is like walking out of a fog, the vibe is a clear winner. i have no idea what equipment people are using that this headphone could possibly be better than the vibe. (I use a ipod video and rockboxed sansa e270) something to take note is like one of the reviewers above, i had great difficulties trying to find a good seal that i can easily find with my vibes. this does not render my review useless, as i apply a small pressure to the earphones while

Compared to the latest iPod nano, the Creative Zen has: bigger and better display, better sound quality, FM radio and voice recording (nano has neither), similarly excellent battery life, better included earphones, slot for SD memory expansion card, and similar stunningly compact form factor. And a lower price: at the time I write this, the 16gb Zen costs the same as the 8gb nano!
The Zen will play unprotected AAC files (including "iTunes-plus" DRM-free tracks), so iPod owners who want to give it a try can get most of their music on the Zen. (The exception is copy-protected AAC files purchased from iTunes, which the Zen won't take.)
Don't get me wrong - I love iPods, I own a few of them, including the nano, which I like a lot and recommend. I think most people familiar with both would agree that the iPod's interface is more elegant and intuitive than the Zen's - though the Zen's really isn't bad at all.
Before plunking down your hard-earned cash, though, I recommend a visit

Great buy. The rechargeable Li-Ion battery is one of the best features. This thing folds up when not in use and its not very big to begin with, making very portable. Only gripes are the remote doesn't appear to have menu and selection capabilty for the Ipod, just play-pause-forward-back, and the folding pieces should lock open as well as closed because you don't make them partially closing when the Ipod is docked, as that can unseat the Ipod, or possibly damage the Ipod or player. It has good sound and doesn't distort with loud volume. All in all, I think this radio is the best one of it's kind. CNet rated it so as well. I have an Ipod dock in my living room surround sound shelf system that I use to use before I got this, now this gets used much more.

I don't write a lot of review. But I got this DVD player because I was looking for something I could play my British DVD's on - my daughter is a fan of Bagpuss, the Clangers and other obscure British children's TV.
I've bought several different DVD players for under $75 in the last few years, by Coby, Memorex, Akai, Sony and others. I'm not a video nut so I'm just interested in something that will work.
I bought this player over a year ago and it has performed very well. All my various Region 1 and Region 2 discs played fine. Set up is easy and the remote is efficient.
I was also pleased that the unit plays .avi files burned straight from the computer. It doesn't support every resolution, but it is handy to have. Note there is no .wma support, so those files don't play.
I'm now buying an additional unit for my daughter to have in her room. For the price, it's very good value in my opinion.

I purchased this upconverting DVD Player along with the Samsung LN46650 Flat Panel LCD. I know some reviewers have said there is no difference when watching their old DVD's, but I beg to differ. I see new colors I never noticed before in DVD's we have watched many times on our old DVD Player. Lord of the Rings is a good example. I know that series of movies is dark, but the detail and color when watching them with this new DVD Player and the New LCD are incredible. The other big bonus is the sound. I do not use the TV sound, I run through an old Carver (analog)reciever that is 20 years old. The sounds is incredible. I hear words and dialogue that I have never heard before in movies I have seen many times.
On the down side.........I havee had this DVD player for about a month and started noticing that it stops occasionally in movies that it worked fine with before. It is like someone pressed pause and then relesed it. Does not happen alot and not on every movie.........but just

I was a little cautious about ordering the i Pod after reading some of the negative reviews. But, it is the largest hard drive on the market and I need the storage room. So, I placed the order and crossed my fingers.
It works great. I am syncing it to an HP Vista Home Premium notebook with 3 megs of memory. Syncing is fast and accurate. The movies and TV shows look great. Sound quality is outstanding and the battery life is beyond any other MP3 player I have used.
In short, an outstanding product that delivers flawlessly.

Ok I have had this player for well over two years and I have an Ipod and Bottom line up front, it's slightly better than the Ipod as a player and more importantly it's free from the control of Apple Itunes. The Ipod has that cool wheel which is a little easier to use than the slide and the Ipod has some games, which the Zen doesn't. But the Zen has some better futures like the video play features and some better less confusing menus, which make accessing your stuff easier. Finally, the Zen has an FM radio recorder (mono only good for NPR) with an open-air recorder mic for memos and lecture recording. That all by itself trumps the Ipod all to heck! When you combine the features with the fact that you can score your movies and audio files from any source and you aren't bound to the whim of Itunes and Apple software "upgrade" scares, I know you'll find the Zen a superior product for a cheaper price.
Now if you're like me and like better rather than just what everyone else is carrying

If you want to pay a ton of money for a product that will break within the first couple of weeks of ownership, then archos products are where it's at. If you like spending hours of time on the phone talking to incompetent representatives who say one thing, and don't follow through, then once again archos products are for you. If you are like most people, and don't want to waste your money, stay away from this company.

The Fuze 8GB MP3 player is my first MP3 player. I bought it to use while travelling, so I can have my favorite music from my CD collection with me.
- The sound quality of the player is good for MP3 and for FM radio
- The menu is easy to use, once you get used to the round scroll wheel
- The capacity of this player, even without the optional MicroSD, is good.
However
- The little foam cover fell off one of the included earphones almost immediately
- There is no STOP button, (only pause.) According to web sites, this is by design.
If, like me, you don't have prior experience with an MP3 player, and specifically copying data from CD to MP3, the included Quick Start guide is little help. The more detailed manual on the Sansa website is better, but you'll still need to figure out quite a bit on your own.

We recently purchased 2 of these dvd players for travel with our children ages 3 and 6. So far we have used them on 3 trips and they have worked great. We were able to watch 2 full length films and a shorter Elmo video before the battery went dead - definitely NOT 13 hours but still pretty long.
