BLUEANT 60-5151-05 SUPERTOOTH PORTABLE SPEAKERPHONE Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This Bluetooth Speaker is EXCELLENT! People don't even know I am on it. Sound quality is crystal clear on both ends and the volume control goes very high in the event you drive a loud vehicle. I often have to turn it down. Highly recommend this product as well as the Bluetooth z9i which has excellent sound and volume control as well as noise isolation. I have been very pleased with the Blueant products I have purchased. I also have the first z9 headset which is pretty good but the z9i is significantly better for an earpiece and would recommend the z9i over the z9 as it is WAY better. However, when I am in the car the speaker bluetooth is the only way to go!!

VTech DS6322-3 - Cordless phone w/ call waiting caller ID & answering system - DECT 6.0 + 2 additional handset(s) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased this phone system a little over a year ago (from a local discount chain--sorry Amazon) to simplify getting rid of my land line. I did a lot of research at the time and decided this was the best of the available units.
It has performed very well, though it will occasionally "snatch" the connection while I'm talking on my cell and doing the walk-around-the-house thing as I talk. Easily avoided by using just the Vtech units while I'm in the house. I concur with the other reviewers who praised the sound clarity. Wireless range is very good.
The menu system is a bit clunky, but serviceable. I really like being able to transfer my contacts from the cell phone. Wish it would allow me to capture the number from an incoming call to add to the directory, but since it doesn't permit transferring to the cell phone, just from it, that wouldn't be much of a help.
I'm astonished at the vehemence of criticism re the handsets not being renameable. Is it too complicated to write #2-kitchen, #3-basement, etc. on a small piece of paper and tape it to the chargers? Sure, it would be nice if the handsets were re-nameable. But a 2 or 3 star downgrade? Get serious.
Though it has it's flaws, I wouldn't part with this phone system. Having used it for a year I purchased 2 more as holiday gifts to my daughters' families.
I've never posted a review before, but felt compelled to express my opinion about this product. I have no connection to the manufacturer.

JVC KW-NT1 Double-DIN Navigation with 6.4-Inch Widescreen Receiver with Detachable Touch-Panel Monitor, DVD/CD/USB/SD Card, iPod/iPhone/USB 2.0/Bluetooth Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is my JVC KW-NT1 GPS navigation REVIEW -- written on June, 26, 2009.
First off guys, This is my very first review, so I apologize in advance if I missed anything.
I have this unit for a TOYOTA CAMRY '06 and I was like everyone else when I was trying to decide which model to buy. There were NO reviews online ANYWHERE other than the video reviews from Sonic Electronix and Crutchfield (but they both did an okay job).
I am satisfied with my purchase. I bought it mid June 2009
The screen is nice, but when it is really sunny outside, the DVD video seems washed out because of the touchscreen layer. The GPS, radio, and ipod/iphone screens look fine. It's just the DVD playback that is not bright enough under extreme sunlight. When the sun is a bit more forgiving, like during sunset, the brightness is fine. And when your car is under any shade, the brightness is fine. Overall, the resolution and colors look good and the brightness adjusts to your headlights.
On other notes... The left side controls are touch sensitive, not physical PUSH buttons.
If you have a USB cord connected to the front, it'll block some of the screen view, depending on the height of the unit.
The bluetooth function works great with the iphone. Fast and responsive.
GPS options include 2D and 3D angle views. Includes useful Points of Interest (POI) locations with phone numbers you can easily dial to over bluetooth.
I have not installed HD radio, Satelite radio, or a Rear view camera.... So I can't comment on that.
I did not install this unit myself... .... So I also can't comment on that.
If you decide to keep your steering wheel controls, you'll have to buy a separate module. Using it will take some getting used to. --- This is NOT the fault of JVC, but of the makers of the steering wheel controls module/adapter. The steering wheel control module is a little slow for the volume control. Instead of a light push or tap of the steering wheel buttons, you'll have to give is a medium/hard push. Or you can hold the button down, but then the volume increases rapidly until you release the button.
Pros:
--Detachable faceplate - for added security. Includes soft case pouch for faceplate.
--Easy slot loading disc access - No motorized CD/DVD tilt (my personal preference).
--Works with iphone. Fast load times. Takes under 10 seconds to load.
--Fast GPS. Fast SD card reads. Fast iphone controls. Fast CD/DVD reads.
--FRONT AV and USB ports - USB charges the iphone while being able to use.
--Reads burned CD and DVD+R discs.
--Allows album art from iphone and SD cards.
--GPS reads out street names. GPS shows split screen detailed turns and directions. Has GPS voice lane guidance ("get on the left lane" , "prepare to turn left", etc.)
--Can listen to music while being directed by the GPS navigation voice
--Can play audio books at normal and above average speeds.
--Has a simple adjustable equalizer settings
--Reads my Sandisk 16GB (class 2) SD memory card - this is not official by JVC though
Cons:
--No volume knob.
--Low brightness in DVD video playback under extremely sunny days. --Doesn't automatically tag song or band names from the RADIO.
--No real time traffic GPS updates.
--No video playback from an SD card.
--No button color light choices (a choice of blue, green, or red would have been nice). No screensaver choices or customizable menus.
--Removing the faceplate takes getting used to. Not a big deal...
--NOTE:(press the button to eject the faceplate, then lift UP towards the sky then out)
--must remove faceplate to access SD card slot
--must keep SD card in the slot if you plan on adding your own customizable Points of Interest (POI) locations.
--Speed limits are not always displayed... depends on your city
--bluetooth phonebook transfer not compatible with the iphone
By law you're not allowed to use navigation while driving. In order to use navigation and the hands free dialing (as well as DVD playback) while driving, you need to bypass the parking brake switch built in to EVERY IN-DASH car navigation.
Go to a car stereo installation shop and have them connect the "parking brake" wire to a ground source. This will fix your problems!Overall, I really like the unit. This is my first GPS in-dash unit. I would recommend it. Do not pay retail prices for this model or any model. I would try calling different local car audio installation shops and see if they have it in stock. Places like Walmart, Crutchfield, and Sonic Electronix overcharge! This model is not available at Best Buy or Mobile One.
I give it a 9 out of 10. A+
The overriding decision for me to buy it was:
-- IPHONE compatible
-- built-in Bluetooth
-- fast loading times (music, GPS, startup time)
-- DETACHABLE FACEPLATE
-- no motorized CD tilt mechanism
-- front USB input
I hope this helps!

theBoom Universal Noise Canceling Cell Phone Headset with Standard 2.5mm adaptor included Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've used the boom headsets for about 3 years now. I've used two different types (1.) the one featured on this page (2) a variation of this one with a wrap around head band. First let me say when using these headsets most people never know I'm on my cell. The quality of incoming & outgoing audio is excellent. I made a conference call in downtown NY and didn't have the 1st complaint of outside noise. You want find better audio quality. Now, the major problem, the cord is weak. They use a thin gauge and doesn't hold up very well or least for someone that travel a lot. I've emailed and talked with the company about this and they were nice enough and listened.
Overall, i would still recommend it for anyone that has to make business call traveling. Just treated it with kit gloves.

LG GU295 Phone (AT&T) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I got new LG GU 295 phone Oct. 2010. The first one would go to sleep/hibernate randomly and would not turn back on until the battery was taken out, replaced, and then it could be turned on. Because it happened at random, it was annoying. I finally got a replacement, after dealing with it for a while and not knowing what was going on with it. I finally called AT&T customer service and warranty dept, which are o.k. and nice, helpful; apparently they all use the same scripts; I have talked to them several times in past few days) and got a refurbished phone at local AT&T warranty center last week, and found out a couple of days later that it would not ring or vibrate with incoming calls. I went to an AT&T warranty center in a different state, (I had to go out-of-town for a couple of days) and all that center did was give me a new simm card and told me that AT&T was in process of going from 3-G to 4-G and that hearing my incoming calls would be sporadic. Well, the phone still does not ring and the local AT&T customers I talked to said their service is perfect. Hmmmmm. Interesting that AT&T customer service and warranty exchange center can make it ring, but no other incoming calls can. Sigh. So, I am writing this and will contact customer chat copy and paste it into the chat window. I still had to call them and they are sending me a replacement phone via mail. Other things I do not like about the phone is that when you have it locked, it does not stay locked, and sometimes I pull it out of its carrying case, on the internet or in other functions that cost money, and I am charged, and do not know how long I may have been there because there is no beep or tone to let you know that the lock is off. I do not use phone to surf web, download apps or music, and it is sort of o.k. for texting. To keep it from accessing internet I have to dig down into a menu option and set the phone there when I put it back into my pocket or into it's case. This is the first slider phone I have had and I do not like it. A BIG ISSUE WITH DESIGN is that it is its RAISED NAVIGATION HUB, you know, right, left, up, down arrows and O.K. in center. It is very easy to slip off key and accidentally navigate away from a text message, or in the middle of adding a contacts info, or activate a pay per app. A flatter or squarer style would be more user friendly to my way of thinking. I really liked the Motorola flip that I had been using. So, buyer beware that the LG GU 295 has some manufacturing flaws and quirks that are problematic.

2.5mm (female) to 3.5mm (male) Headset Audio Adapter Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Didn't work as advertised. I bought this because I have an excellent Plantronics headset that I used to use with my Motorola Razor cell phone. When I upgraded to a Chocolate 3, an excellent phone by the way, I learned that the Chocolate had moved to a more standard 3.5mm jack for headphones. I hooked this jack up to my Chocolate and tried to make a few calls. I could hear them but they couldn't hear me. Probably my fault for not digging deeper into the absolute specifics of the jack, because it only supported audio out, not audio in from a microphone. It was too cheap to RMA so I just tossed it into the basket that I periodically donate to AmVets. Lesson learned: even for low dollar amount items, make sure that it does what you want.

I am a investigator so I used the bluetooth a lot in the field, I found the H15, as far quality, better then previous units, specially because of the size, the only problem I have encounter is that the ear piece of this unit is very thin and brittle and broke within a two months after purchase, I would recomment anyone who buys this unit to buy the additional 3 piece pack that you can usually find on most internet stores, it costs around 14.00 dollars,
