User Ratings and Reviews

4 Stars Pretty good value
These speakers are my 3rd attempt at finding something I’m happy with. For the price, I would recommend these. They’re not perfect, but I am happy with them. They are weatherproof and have decent sound quality and decent volume. They have a/c adapters and they take 12 C batteries and this can get expensive I suppose. I like the auto-off and auto-on feature. I’m not happy with the remote; it doesn’t always turn the speaker on after they’ve been off for a period of time. I also wish it had a “mute” button. Anyway, good value.

5 Stars Pretty cool. Great value.
This speaker system works. Set up was easy. The sound is good. I added a third speaker to the two that come with the system, and it worked without issues. I have not tried the speakers out on battery, nor have I tested the waterproofness of them. Recommended.

5 Stars GREAT, but weak bass.
If you have your own or separate woofer, then these add ons work excellently as portable speakers.

5 Stars Happy camper
I have music playlists from Napster on my computer that I want to listen to in other rooms but running speaker wires would be impossible. These wireless speakers solve the problem very nicely.

I connected the transmitter to the computer, plugged the speakers into an AC outlet and turned on the music. Real easy. I’m no audiophile but I like what I’m hearing.

The only problem I’m finding is that the transmitter doesn’t pick up all audio signals. Napster and various online am/fm stations play fine but I can’t get signals from others such as AOL Radio or Pandora.

Still, a thumbs up from me

5 Stars great addition to the garage
I am able to listen to on-line music in the garage. I was able to hang the speaker high up out of the way.

User Ratings and Reviews

2 Stars Specs not as advertised
I actually got this as a backup for my Kindle charger. According to the specs shown on the the adapter, it is 1000 MAH which is enough to power the kindle 2. It doesn’t. I gave the product 2 stars because it is not advertised as a kindle charger, but it does not have the output it says it does either.

5 Stars Just what I needed
It worked with my blackberry curve and LG VU CU920 data cables. Now I won’t panic if I forget the wall chargers to my phones. This is a lifesaver. Worked right out of the box (or bag…lol).

4 Stars Great little adapter
I would give it 5 stars because it has worked great for months since I have been using it. I connect the USB data cable for my blackberry to charge at work. This way I don’t need to carry the charger that comes with the phone and the data cable for times when I need to charge it in the car. I always carry the same cable and switch the adapter.

The only issue I have is with the quality of the adapter. It feels light and cheap. But that’s why the price is so good I guess.

Otherwise, no complaints!

3 Stars Not another AC to USB adapter
Unlike my other AC to USB adapters it will not charge a Razr V3.

I did not test it with any of their indicated devices.

5 Stars Great buy
My Sansa MP3 player gets recharged through my computer so if I am away from home and do not have a computer available, I could not charge it. This USB Travel Charger works perfectly with my MP3’s USB cable. I now use it all the time at home and I save money on electricity from not turning on my computer just to charge.

The best thing about this adapter is that it does not leave my MP3 player’s light on while charging. The light on my MP3 player stayed on while charging with my PC which is bad for the internal battery life. Also, stays on the last song that you listened to when removed. Very happy with this adapter and highly recommended it.

2 Stars Disappointed
I am totally disappointed in the bluetooth earpiece by Plantronics. The range is horrible. If I step outside of my office, it disengages immediately. I continuously have to reconnect. If I had not had it in my ear for over a day, I would have returned it for a full refund. Do not buy this product.

1 Star Not so impressed
I was disappointed that when I would dial digits on my phone I could always hear static in the blue tooth. Then the unit would not hold a charge. I sent an e-mail to the address listed for the company on the Amazon website and it has been over a week and no one has responded. I finally ended up calling the manufacturer and they said that if I filled out some paperwork, they would replace it. I assume this will happen this week.

4 Stars Good Sound, easy to use
Very easy to setup and use. Good sound and battery life. The one touch button is a little uncomfortable is necessary to press it hard so that it work.

5 Stars Lightweight and comfortable
There are many pros for this item, but no cons as of yet. I have used it on many phone calls.

Great Connection

Easy to use

Answer feature works well

comfortable

light weight

good call quality

I would highly recommend this bluetooth headset to anyone. I even hooked it up to my playstation 3 and it worked just fine. It says it has a 30 foot range, that is realistically more like a 10. You do want to hold the phone on the side that the earpiece is on for the best connection, but the distance you hold it has not made an impact on sound quality.

Get this piece at a great price here on Amazon.

4 Stars Good product
I would recommend this product. It’s easy to use, the person you are speaking to can hear you clearly, and it’s lightweight. The one thing to note is if you have the device in your right ear, it’s best to have your cell on your right side (it tells you that in the booklet). And it’s a great price!

5 Stars Love this headset!
I’ve been using this headset at work for the last year and a half and absolutely love it! The sound quality is supurb, the weight is light, and the range is decent (up to 100 feet or so with thin office walls and cubicles in between).

I just ordered another for my wife (who works from home) who will need to answer the phone from throughout the house once our first baby arrives. She’s already tested it in every room of the house (2-story), and the back yard as well without the slightest loss of signal (base unit in loft in middle of house).

I believe the sticker price for this was far more than I expected, but thanks to Amazon I was able to spend $150 less than my work did for mine!

Excellent….

4 Stars Great Range
I looked at lots of these earpieces and chose this one because of the reviews on it. I was not disappointed. Easy to set up and use. Earpiece is not the most comfortable in the world but I can walk all around my home and still answer the phone as if I were at my desk.

4 Stars Great Headset
I purchased 5 of these headsets and they work great for my office. We are a busy eyedoctor’s office and it makes it easier to be on our computers and be talking on the phone with our patients. The only complaint we have is that the headset and earpiece does get uncomfortable after a while but we just change to the other ear. The handset lifer is a must if you need to be moving around.

1 Star Junk
Yes, it is wireless, and I can use it with our VoIP phones. But,for something costing around $250, I expected better.

The headset base station has to be 4″ away from my phone to avoid feedback with the speakerphone. Since that is about the length of the wires connecting the two devices, options for placement on the desktop become limited. The adjustment buttons are on the back and underside of the base station – not an easy place to get at, especially if you care about seeing the state of the device’s charge.

The handset lifter is a joke, lacking the power to return the handset to the off position if the phone is tilted up to a position where I can read its notification window. It also has to be affixed to the phone unit in a way that covers the speaker on most models, which obviates use.

Finally, the provided earploops are junk.

5 Stars Great!
Great product—gives me lots of freedom to work on the run. It is very easy to install—-I am glad I made this purchase.

5 Stars Works as advertised!
You must download the drivers to use with this cable. Once the drivers are installed, it easily connects to the phone and the computer. I have had no difficulties at all. It works every time I use it.

5 Stars Cable works!
This cable is great for my LG Vu, and it’s not just a charge cable, it can transfer files and music and all sorts of things as well! It’s useful for transferring those sorts of to your phone and is recognized quickly by Windows Vista, not sure about Windows 7, but I’m sure it won’t have a problem.

4 Stars It’s working so far.
I haven’t had an issue with this cable. I haven’t synced data information yet, and syncing seems to be a difficult process with this phone. You have to change the Connection category under the settings menu “+ more” section. Under the “USB Connection Mode” it has to be changed from “Music Sync” to “Data Service” or “Mass Storage,” depending on what you’re trying to do. And there is no syncing software that comes with the phone. That said, the cable has worked fine for charging the phone.

5 Stars OEM cheap!
Perfect for LG Shine (phones that I have) for 1 cent and 4.99 shipping. ATT can keep their $34.99 model.

5 Stars Works as described
This cable works great! I can transfer files and automatically sync my music. All I needed was the USB driver, and walla! I was syncing music instantly.
