Belkin All-In-One Accessory Kit for iPod Review

Belkin All-In-One Accessory Kit for iPod
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I'm thankful I bought this product at Costco, because I could take it back for a full refund. The idea is appealing, and a good deal - you get a lot for a good price. But on closer inspection, there are a couple of significant problems:
1. The contents are redundant.
- Cassette adapter gives better sound than FM transmitter in many cases. If you have a car with a cassette player, you wouldn't need the FM transmitter. If your car doesn't have a cassette player, why would you buy a package with a cassette adapter in it?
- Similarly, at home, you'd get better sound on your stereo by using the cables vs the FM transmitter, even if you do have a tuner.
So unless you plan on using your ipod in a car with a cassette player, a car without a cassette player, and with your home stereo system, having cables, a cassette adapter and the FM transmitter is redundant. You may come out cheaper by buying the components you need separately.
2. The case is TERRIBLE! Honestly, if the case had been good, I would've overlooked the redundancy and likely kept the entire package. But the case was a key component for me. The case in this package covers the iPod on the front, back, sides, and bottom. Since the belt clip swivels, to prevent the iPod from falling out of the top, the case has a suction cup (no joke!) on the inside of the back panel. The case opens up in a flip-down style by un-velcro-ing the side panels. You nest your iPod into the case, sticking it to the suction cup, flip the front of the case into postion, and stick the side velcro strips together. Between the case itself, the suction cup, and the bulky belt clip, the iPod is more than twice as thick in the case as it is alone. It's also significantly wider.
My advice - keep shopping.

USB + Car + Wall Charger set for iPod, Nano, Touch, iPhone, Video, Classic Review

USB + Car + Wall Charger set for iPod, Nano, Touch, iPhone, Video, Classic
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I haven't tried the car-charger piece yet, as I have another iPod charger that I leave in the car. I purchased this item so that I could have a plug-in charger available whenever I needed one, instead of having to keep my iPod at my computer to charge with the sync cable. I repeatedly get a "Charging is not supported with this accessory" warning while my iPod Touch 3G is plugged in, and the battery indicator on the iPod doesn't register that it's being charged. However, the percentage of battery left does go up, which means it IS being charged. The biggest issue I have with this item is that the charge is unbearably slow. I left my iPod plugged in overnight and didn't get a full charge (which only takes about 2 hours with the original sync/charge cable from Apple) -- I don't know whether this is an inherent limitation of the charger itself or the fact that it doesn't sit firmly in electrical outlets (and thus may only be receiving intermittent current). Also, the cable itself is pretty short, so it's not very useful if you want to charge your device while using it ... unless you want to lay on the floor next to the outlet. :D

Sly SLH200W 6 in 1 Headphone Review

Sly SLH200W 6 in 1 Headphone
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought this wireless headphones to reduce the clutter & so I could watch video & tv without everyone in the neighborhood hearing (My hearing is getting worse as I age) At $25, I thought it was worth a try. Well, ya get what you pay for.
Installation was a pain as the instructions are extremely confusing (and I'm a techie!!). They are also written in the very small print of legal documents that are meant to be read only with a magnifying glass. Mine came with a USB power cable which was not mentioned anywhere on the box or the documentation. The transmitter (called the Emitter in the instructions) can also operate on 2 AA batteries. 2 more AA batteries are required in each headset.
The headphones are the old style of analog days. Light enough in weigh so you don't notice them. But they will get sweaty with prolonged wear. I did get 2 headsets so 2 people can listen. The chat function strikes me as useless. It's like talking on a speaker phone several feet away.
The real test came with use, once I finally got them installed correctly. Each time you turn on the headset, there is a 3 step procedure you have to follow. If you don't do it right, the headset becomes an FM radio and you have to start all over again. There is a great deal of feedback & background noise. Not unlike listening to an AM radio. The tone of music is tinny with little base response. Playing Winamp with full base helps some but the speakers just aren't good enough to really enjoy music.
I would have paid double the price to get better sound with no background noise. But the $200 range for a really good wireless set is out of my reach. So I'll live with this - for now.

Visual Land V-Touch 4 GB MP3/MP4/Camera 2.8-Inch Touchscreen/Mini SD Portable Media Player (Black) Review

(More customer reviews)
It's exactly what i paid for.
People may complain that the screen is cheap, but it works just fine for me. Just don't pound on it and it works fine.
There isn't a games feature like the picture shows, i don't know if that's just because i bought it with 4g.
The camera is horrible, and it slows down my 2000 nt.
Accessing music in folders is slightly difficult.
I do have my suspicions that this is one piece of media equipment different companies have modified, because you will see the exact same build for all the other non apple touch screen mp4 players on here.
It doesn't come with a case and the company isn't advanced far enough to provide accessories, but unlike pro ebiz, it has a website and support.
When they ship, you don't get an email. It just comes.
The speaker quality isn't great, but the headphones are great. Too bad they break easily.
It does what it says it does. Plays my songs, videos (mine only plays .avi) and provides me with a radio. The picture player is jut for kicks.
Voice recodings have great quality too. But the calendar is just a calendar, no organizer.
The ebook feature isn't too great and the interface isn't customizable.
But a big plus is that the charger is a usb converter like many people pay $20 for.
I would suggest this to anyone who needs a BASIC mp4 player. If you like to modify and customize, this isn't for you. It is worth more than you pay for.

Sony 2 GB Walkman Video MP3 Player with FM Tuner (Black) Review

Sony 2 GB Walkman Video MP3 Player with FM Tuner (Black)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I've used just about every MP3 player there is and this one is right there with the best of them. It's small light and extremely easy to use. You don't need ANY software to upload songs to it. The device shows up like a drive on your PC. You have the option of using Windows Media Player 11 to upload songs, but I'd rather just drag and drop songs or use my Napster subscription to upload songs from Napster's huge library. I thought 2GB wouldn't be enough but it is so easy to upload songs when my mood changes that it's never been an issue for me. If you like to watch movies then you may want to go with the larger 4GB (NWZS616) or 8GB (NWZS618) versions of this model since a typical movie takes up ~700K memory after you compress it to QVGA. If you want a larger screen size then you can get the NWZA815. That model is basically the same player with a larger screen. It also has a heavier metal shell, but it does not have an FM tuner like the NWZS615, and I wanted the FM tuner. I typically use my player in shuffle mode in my car and if I don't want to hear a song, it is a breeze to reach down and click just to the right of the center button to skip to the next song. I honestly can't see how anyone would be disappointed with this player especially when you consider the great price.

Apple iPod iPhone Accessories. Black FM Transmitter Car Charger Kit with Holder for Apple Iphone 3G iPhone 3G S iPod Touch 2nd Generation iPod Nano 5th Generation 5G Review

Average Reviews:

An overview of this item is that it works as designed. I have an iPod Touch 3G with a plastic case and this device holds it well. It hasn't slipped or fallen out once. The wide range of channels on the device provides great sound quality with no static or interference at all. This device sits about a foot away from my radio and this distance is no problem at all. Some other iPod FM transmitters require the device to be placed literally next to the radio in order for the music to even come through. This transmitter though provides a great broadcasting signal at any of the channels available. However, there is a faint high pitched whine that accompanies the music through the speakers and increases and decreases with the volume. This whine is negligible though and hardly noticeable.
The car charger portion fits in very well in my car (02 Honda Civic) but the connector is not flexible or bendable as in other models. Also, my cup holder flips open and closed and while this device doesn't keep you from having drinks there, I am unable to open or shut the cup holder once the device is inserted into the car charger. However, the connector allows for the iPod to be rotated 180 degrees up and down and I find the lack of flexibility with the positioning of the device doesn't bother me at all. The iPod charges well through this device and connection is simple.
Overall this product works. For the price, I would definitely recommend it.
UPDATE:
I wanted to update my review of this product after months of use. The original transmitter I purchased ended up breaking. The chord that connects the transmitter to my iPod Touch ended up breaking in half and completely came apart. This happened without any wear at all and seemed to be a natural progression of the chord simply moving around. I purchased another one (how can you beat the

My 10 yr. old, of course, wanted an iTouch for Christmas but at her age, it would either get lost, broken, or left on a shelf to collect dust so this was the perfect substitute. The addition of the FM radio and the camera (2MP; typical cell phone quality) with the ability to take video via the camera was the icing on the cake. The eBook reader is another nice feature.
She can't put it down. She's used the voice recorder, the camera, the radio, and obviously, the MP3 player. She really wants to download a book and what parent can argue with a child wanting to read a book whether electronically or not? At Christmas, all her "older" cousins asked her "Is that an iTouch?" and she proudly stated "No, it's a V-Touch..." (Whew!)
Pros:
-8GB is 8GB. Plenty of space for everything. (Plus it's expandable.)
-Camera/Video Recorder. (Big plus for non-cell phone carrying kids.)
-Nice size screen and the colors are sharp and bright.
-eBook capability.
-Stylus included. (Which allows even me to use it.)
-Computer connection and file transfer is very simple.
-Price. For memory size and functions I don't think you can beat it.
Cons:
-At first look, it seemed fragile to me ("cheap"). After more use, it's not so bad. It is obviously not as solid as an iTouch but it's more than 2 1/2 times cheaper. Unsure if a 3 foot drop would be it's demise and hopefully I won't ever find out.
-Charger cord is extremely short.
-Battery life(???). It seems that the charge doesn't last as long as I think it should but my daughter is using it all the time so maybe it's fine.
-Headphones. Not the highest quality but those can be replaced.
Unkown:
-eBook. Have not used that feature yet.
-Movies. We have yet to put an AVI/MP4 on it but I am confident it will be fine and the screen size should be perfect for viewing.
It's a great buy in my book! No, it's not an iTouch but it's a perfect little MP3 player with a ton of extra features and functionality. We haven't had it very long so I will update if things change but so far, so good.
*****************************************************************************
UPDATE: 12/19/2009
Well, what I figured would happen, happened... My, now 11 year old, daughter has lost ("permanently misplaced") her "V-Touch". Almost made it a year. Up until she lost it, she used it often. Never had a problem though. She was afraid to tell me that she lost it until after a couple weeks; it must have been tearing her up inside. In any event, I am glad I didn't get her an "iPod Touch" (Wouldn't want to offend anybody by calling it an iTouch...) It worked perfectly and was a worth while investment.
However she has iPod Touch on her Christmas list again... Oh, boy.

Over the years I've been through about 15 FM transmitters. This one is by far the best quality I've had. You may hear a little high pitched noise at high volumes, but that is a small price to pay for the amazing amount of clarity provided. The remote control is pretty flimsy and has to be held almost directly next to it to work but that's not the reason I purchased it so I was hardly disappointed. I really don't think you'll find a better product on the market.

Coby CA-747 Dual Position CD/MD/MP3 Cassette Adapter Review

Coby CA-747 Dual Position CD/MD/MP3 Cassette Adapter
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought this product and found like many other people out there that if you have a tape deck with an auto-reverse feature, that you'll have some problems with just about any cassette adapter. After looking online, I found out how to fix most brands, but not this one. So after tooling around for about half an hour, I figured out how to get this cassette adapter to work in an auto-reverse tape deck. If you open the adapter and look inside, you'll see a small gear between one of the center teeth wheels and the little assembly that contains the guide wheel near the edge of the adapter that can only rotate in one direction. Remove this small gear. This will allow the tape to spin freely in either direction. If you look at the guide wheel, you'll notice that it can shift to two positions. One that protrudes closer to the outside of the adapter and one that has it sit more inside the adapter. Tape this piece so that it stays permanently in one of these two positions. That guide wheel moving is how the auto-reverse in your tape deck knows to activate. After I made these changes, I found that the adapter worked in my Ford tape deck flawlessly. No need for an FM transmitter, after all! Hope this helps those of you with the same problem!

SanDisk Sansa Fuze 4 GB Video MP3 Player (Black) Review

SanDisk Sansa Fuze 4 GB Video MP3 Player (Black)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This little device is a high quality and very easy to use 'MP3' player. Of course it does more than just play music. From a usability perspective, I think it rivals the iPod interface and provides more feedback. While I really love the device, there are some things that I wish were a little better.
Pros
----
- Very nice screen and just big enough that if you were stuck on a plane, watching a movie still is an enjoyable experience.
- Simple and very intuitive interface. I love the fact that the iPod-like wheel actually rotates.
- Expansion via MicroSD cards is a great feature. I was able to swap the MicroSD card between my BlackBerry and the Fuze and be able to share images, and music.
- The FM Radio and ability to record from it is one of the coolest features. There's something about the randomness about radio that I still really like. And the ability to record a song that I don't already have can save you some money.
- I haven't used the external mic yet, but I think that's a neat feature to have when you have a thought and want to record it. I can think of several times where I've had a thought and wasn't able to write it down.
Cons
----
- The most frustrating experience I've had with the Fuze is the ability to get Video transferred. I've tried multiple formats and have been very unsuccessful in finding the right format to use. This is the main reason I've not given it a full 5 star review. Of course it's ridiculous to think that this would be a 'Movie' player. However, I have some great concerts that I would love being able to watch as well as listen to. I'm not interested in watching a movie.
- The on/off switch is great if you want to make sure that you don't accidentially turn on/off. However, I think it's overly difficult. Especially if you have large fingers. I would have preferred to press the Play button for a couple of seconds.
- The device 'hiccups' when scrolling through music that has album art. For some reason, when you get to the list of albums, the select button doesn't work until the album art appears. Often requiring you to double-click. Not a big deal, unless you're quickly trying to find a song to add to the play list.
- Finally, the device is either too new or not popular enough to warrant accessories. I really want to buy a protective cover, but they don't exist. I've read that some people are using Nano covers, but they don't fit well enough. This is really bad if you want to use the Fuze while exercising or cutting the lawn.
Overall, I would highly recommend the Fuze to anyone looking for a low-cost small media device. The cons shouldn't sway you away from buying it, but they are good to know. I'll update my review when I figure out the right combination of video formats for the device.

This gadget works pretty good, but is not perfect!
Pros:
>Has a lot of frequencies to choose from
>Good FM Stereo sound & and is pretty good most of the time (sometimes there is some interference)
>Very compact
>Actually worked with my 1GB SD card
>Comes with a remote (although you can easily operate the buttons on the unit by hand)
>Remembers set frequency and last song played if you remove it from car (or turn power to unit off)
>Great bargain for the technology
Cons:
>The display shows the frequency, track #, name of song; but it is so tiny you cannot possibly read it while driving!
>The major flaw is that you cannot jump from one folder to next, you can only advance song by song (but I suppose that's ok if you have all your favorite songs in the SD card, or plug in an external MP3 player in the jack provided)
>Another little glitch is that there is no OFF button on the device. My car's power outlet is always on. So I put the MP3 device on PAUSE when I stop listening (otherwise the songs will continue being processed by the MP3 player)

Belkin TuneCast II FM Transmitter for MP3 Players (White) Review

Belkin TuneCast II FM Transmitter for MP3 Players (White)
Average Reviews:

This thing has a range of about a foot, with really poor quality sound. It may be as good or better than other transmitters that are available, but it's still pretty lousy. Not really as good as standard FM, probably halfway between AM and FM, and interrupted by the occasional static. I modified it as described in the websites that describe how to do such things, but the sound is so crappy, that it's hardly worth the price. The modified range is about 50 feet.
I realize that it solves a problem of allowing an MP3 player to work in your car, and there aren't any good alternatives, but but this isn't going to make anyone really happy. It's just a barely passable solution. It does what it's supposed to, and if you modify it, it has much better range, but it's really not a great result.
UPDATE: I really wanted a product like this, so I bought the "whole house transmitter" right on Amazon and it works. Near FM quality sound, decent range (about 40 feet). It only broadcasts on one of 6 channels, but at least the quality is acceptable if you can find an open one, and it punches through weak stations so the channel doesn't really have to be completely clear. It's 3X the price, but that seems to be what it takes to get decent quality sound.

With this handy device you can listen to your favorite tunes through any FM stereo receiver with your iPod, PDA, PC, or laptop, even an MP3, CD, or cassette player from up to 30 feet away. The Belkin TuneCast II Mobile FM Transmitter makes it easy to wirelessly connect portable music players to your car or home stereo FM radio. Simply plug the TuneCast II into the headphone jack of your player or connect it to your PC or laptop computer, then tune your car stereo or receiver to any clear FM frequency.
There's also an auto on/off function that lets the device simply power on whenever an audio signal is detected. If there is no signal, the TuneCast II switches off after 60 seconds, helping to preserve battery life. There's also four programmable memory slots that let you save the clearest station wherever you go. The device comes with a DC cable for optional battery-free operation, but it only works with the Belkin Mobile Power Cord for 3G iPod. Batteries are included.
iPod Compatibility iPod nano 1G, iPod nano 2G, iPod mini, iPod 4G (Clickwheel), iPod Color, iPod 5G/5.5G Video, iPod Shuffle 1G, iPod Shuffle 2G
