Headphone Splitter - audio splitter, 2009 amazon frustration-fre

Click here for more information I've used this splitter with a portable DVD player, and have been satisfied. There's not much to be said about the product. It works. You can easily adjust the volume, even in the dark.



If you ever buy a splitter, make sure that you buy one with adjustable volume. No two people will want the volume adjusted exactly the same when using headphones! Griffin SmartShare Headphone Splitter with Individual Volume Control

I don't know what Baltimore MW's problem is with this product. It met my expectations. It lets me plug two sets of ear plugs into my ipod. It is not too bulky, the volume control is a very nice feature, and I have not found it slide out of the plug. My wife and I plan to take it on a long plane ride and I believe it will let us listen to music in peace while letting me not have to listen to music at her volume (and she won't have to listen at my volume).

We bought this item for a family vacation. One of the kids has a video iPod and we wanted the kids to be able to both listen to the music during our car trip to Florida. The headphone splitter worked great, both kids were able to adjust the volume of the music independently, however the headphone splitter came apart soon after I gave it to them (within the first day). Keep in mind that I have two daughters and they were sitting right next to each other (I have a Honda Pilot, so it's not a HUGE space in the backseat). Both are pretty calm kids, so there was no roughhousing going on, I just think the weld was weak on the splitter.

I bought this splitter in hopes of being able to share my MP3 player with my husband when we were out and about. We are both in our early 40s, and neither of us has hearing problems, but we do tend to like our music at different volumes, so this sounded like a win to me.



I did read some reviews, but didn't get down far enough to see that other people were having the same problem I've had ... which is that "volume control" is laughable. The range of control is VERY narrow, and I can't actually discern a difference in volume level; the only difference is that the sound quality gets a little fuzzier at one end of the slide than the other. If you were hoping and expecting, as I was, that you could actually count on hearing your music at a different volume than your "partner," DON'T.



Sound quality seemed middling to me, and was slightly different between the two ports, strangely. I paid $4.00, but then the same amount again for shipping, and would rather have spent the money to see a movie. :-(

The splitter was helpful because it also doubled up as volume control for the individual connections. However, the volume control button is not very effective as it provides only a small range of control. Sometimes, you end up using the control on the audio device itself.

The Griffin Smartshare Headphone Splitter is a great product. My wife and I can, and do, watch movies together on my IBM laptop without disturbing the rest of the family. The dual volume controls is a great feature allowing total enjoyment at personal volume levels.

I got this thing so I could split the audio out from my MacBook when watching DVDs. My viewing companion and I each plug in our headphones to each end of the split consoles, each get good crisp sound, and each get to control the volume that comes through the wire. Only complaint would be to maybe have the sound control bar a little longer/broader to effect a broader volume control. But it's a minor quibble with an affordable smart product that performs a simple task ably.

Great for keeping two kids from beating each other down. Sliders for volume control a little loose and can be moved easily, but good level control. Do not leave this plugged into a laptop and move around. The pin with bend out of the body fairly easy. It still works, but the pin is at an angle. This is my fault, but the mold around the pin could be stronger.

just as the title describes! I purchased this for a road trip that has yet to take place, but I test drove it the second I got it out of the package. It does what it is supposed to, doesn't do what it isn't supposed to, and cost under ten dollars. I am satisifed with my purchase.

This item does the job it's supposed to do. The individual volume controls sounded as if they'd be handy but are sort of difficult to adjust - it's best to have the volume up all the way on the laptop, ipod, etc then each person can use their own volume adjustor to more accurately find a comfortable listening volume. - Audio Splitter - 2009 Amazon Frustration-fre - Headphones - Y Cable

Duracell - duracell, d batteries

Click here for more information If you have seen the television ads where Duracell advertises that NASA uses their batteries and shake your head in disbelief you are partially right and partially wrong. The Procell battery is exactly the battery that NASA uses for their applications in space and on the ground, not the coppertop or the ultra. These batteries are professional, top of the line disposable batteries that hold their charge longer and can survive more extreme temperature changes than any retail store bought battery. They are also IDEAL for flashlights as they will put out a much brighter light than anything else that can be bought in stores. Highly recommended! DURACELL D12 PROCELL Professional Alkaline Battery

These Procell batteries are very long lasting and I did a price comparison and it is the best bang for your buck. They advertise a 5 year shelf life that I cannot speak to. They come packed very well from the factory in heavy boxes that will hold up well until you use all of them. I highly recommend this battery due to the fact it is long lasting is a very good buy. Thank you Amazon for a win win situation for customers.For my money you cannot buy a better battery and it comes in all the popular sizes,AA,AAA,C,D and 9 volt. I use all of them. I have read on the internet this is the only battery that NASA will use do to its reliability.

I am not sure who the rater was who said Duracell is not affiliated with Duracell Procell batteries, but I went to their website, hit the professional button at the top and came to the website discussing all the advantages of this battery, linked right from the coppertop page.



Anyway, we have a lot of gamers and these batteries seem to hold up well and since we go through a lot of them during marathon playing, the reasonable price makes them a ready shelf item over the ones that are twice the cost. Rechargeables just didn't seem to do the trick. They seemed to last shorter and shorter times, and the price to replace too high.



Good choice for the price, and Amazon Prime shipping too!

I was a bit concerned after reading reports of tattered packaging and roughed-up batteries. The box of Procell D's that I received was sealed and in good shape. The batteries were dated March 2017 and all looked new. A small corner dent on the product box appeared to have been due to the box flopping around inside the shipping box with some other items. I also bought some Procell AA batteries at the same time. The AAs were in a sealed box and in good shape. I would recommend this Amazon partner for good products and very competitive pricing. I will buy from them again.

I order a box of these batteries since I have used them before and they have always worked great. When I received them they had a parts number label on them from a completely different vendor (Grainger) attached to them and the box had been opened and repacked. So far these batteries have perfromed just as well as every other Duracell battery but I was not happy with the fact that I know the item had been on a self at another company before being sold here.

These batteries last longer than any other battery I've used. They were used in my twins' swing. This swing gets very heavily used, probably close to 6 or 8 hours a day! With these batteries the swing was able to function for at least two weeks (probably closer to three, but I don't remember the exact date I put them in). Other D batteries in the swing have lasted barely a week with our usage. They're worth the price if you ask me!

I placed an order despite the number of bad reviews for battered boxes and dead batteries and received my order in new-looking condition with an unbroken "Ready to ship - Fullfilled by Amazon" sticker seal on the box. The batteries seemed to be as fully charged as the ones I bought at the hardware store. No complaints.

I don't care if the boxes were opened or sealed, these are professional use batteries, the shelf life is for like mar 2016 on the two boxes I purchased, If you went out and bought these at a store they would be very expensive, as normal, amazon does a better than average job shipping. a box in a box.

Hands down - the best battery you can buy is the Duracell ProCell. They have an incredable storage life. Great for emergency kit in the basement. Good power that seems more consistant and lasts longer then the regular Duracell. - Bulk - D Batteries - Duracell - Alkaline Batteries

Digital Tuner - clock radio, dual alarm clock

Click here for more information Nice $40 clock radio with a small footprint size that's a lot less money than some other high end brands. Lighted LCD with 3 levels of brightness and dual alarm display. Easy to use, decent single-speaker sound, good radio reception, good looks, and includes built-in line-in plug for external audio source (I use it in my bedroom and have the TV sound connected to this unit). Date and time were already preset correctly right out of the box. Very happy with this Sony clock radio and recommend it. Sony ICFC705 AM/FM Clock Radio (White)

The radio looks nice, is fairly compact, and has a very good display. The radio and speaker are also good for a unit of this size and price.



However, I was surprised about two things:



* The radio's digital tuner doesn't automatically seek to the next strong station like most radios - you have to manually stop at the right frequency. Once you've preset your favorites, this of course is less bothersome. Perhaps there's a way to do it, but I couldn't figure it out.



* The clock's "auto time set" feature is not what I expected. Perhaps it's just me, but I assumed this meant it sets the time from the NIST radio signals. That's not the case. Instead, the clock comes shipped with the correct time already set and kept current thanks to the built in battery. You just have to set the time zone if you're not in EST/EDT. Unlike with a real "auto time set" feature based on NIST signals, you will probably have to adjust this clock manually every spring and fall because the US keeps changing dates on which Daylight Saving Time starts and ends.





I decided to keep it since it's for my young daughter and she won't be as fussy as I am, but it would have been nice to see these issues noted in the product description.

I really wanted a clock with a nap function so I purchased this.



Pros

nap function-hard to find

replaceable battery

automatic time set

You can turn off the radio-alarm (no more noise), and it will remain set to go off the next day

Picked up all my favorite stations



Cons-nit picking

You can adjust the dimness to very low, but the large screen still gives off a bit of a glow at night, and the low contrast makes it difficult to read in day.

All buttons on top at rear sloping angle, with no tactile differences, can take a while to find the correct button.

Mono speaker sounds alright, but stereo would be much better

Nap timer can only wake to buzz (I think)



I would recommend it, the nap function alone is worth it.

We purchased the clock radio for use in the bathroom as a radio and iPod Player, it is just perfect. The large digital display is easy to read from any distance, meaning there is no chance of losing track of time while getting ready for work. The input jack makes hooking up your iPod/mp3 player a simple and straightforward process. The digital tuner was very important as we are able to hear our radio stations in perfect clarity without having to hand adjust. A great product.

I wanted a clock radio to wake me up in the morning with NPR morning news. It does that, the audio is extremely clear for voice, and the clock is extremely reliable and accurate. The sound quality is best for voice or music at low volume (it doesn't have a booming bass response). If I want a Bose sound, [...] The backlit time display is a bit bright, but that's fine as I no longer try to put my bottle of spring water on my eyeglasses. Think of it as a night light that gives you the time.



If you want a reliable, accurate clock radio to wake you up, and you want two alarms (one for M-F and one for weekends), digital tuning, and refreshingly clear sound, this is it. [...]

This one may be the best little guy around. Dual alarms, digital tuning, small footprint, good reception, adjustable light levels, mp3 jack (though no power in), AND a battery backup. We've had others, and, incidentally, bought about 3 different alarm clocks before we actually kept this one. Each other clock had its pitfalls: too bright, too big, buttons too hard to push, no battery backup (we lose power due to bad electrical in our rental once a month), or non-digital tuning. I never thought I'd become an 'alarm clock' buff, but this guy really has what it takes! The ONLY thing I can site as a down side is that the battery backup doesn't actually power the clock, just keeps your settings in memory when the power goes out (so if the power's out when your alarm is supposed to wake, you're sleeping in no matter what - oh darn).



Nevertheless, best clock we've owned! Unequivocal 5-stars!

The controls are very easy to use. The buttons are large, the design is intuitive, and there are directions on the clock itself.



The entire clock display is illuminated, which is a minus if you prefer a dark bedroom at night. On the plus side, it can easily be set to one of three brightness levels at a push of a button, and it's not too annoying at night on the lowest level.



The radio in the Sony ICFC705 is top notch. I live in an area near several broadcast towers, and most radios are swamped by their signal and are unable to tune in most stations. The ICFC705 manages to tune in most stations clearly and with decent sound.



Regretfully, if you want to wake to something other than radio, this is not the unit for you. Both the buzzer and melodies are at a preset volume that cannot be adjusted by the volume control (a very strange design decision that ruins the usefulness of this clock radio).



This wouldn't be too bad if they were loud or if they built up to a loud volume over time. But both the buzzer and melodies are rather quiet and will not wake a sound sleeper.



As a result of this design flaw, what would have otherwise been a rating of 4 or 5 stars (depending on how you felt about the display light) drops to 3 stars at best. - Alarm Clock Radio - Clock Radio - Dual Alarm Clock - Digital Tuner

Canon 5d Mark Ii - lp-e6, 5d mark ii

Click here for more information In addition to the one that came with the 5D Mark II, I also bought a separate one to fill the second bay in the BG-E6 Vertical Grip.



My initial experience with the battery was less than stellar -- if you are currently disappointed with the battery capacity (especially if it's new), hear me out.



After the first charge out of the box, the single battery lasted about a day with maybe 100 RAW shots and a couple of minutes worth of 1080p video. VERY disappointing to say the least. But here's the thing -- it really needs to go through a couple of full cycles (full discharge, full charge) before it reaches its peak capability.



At the time of my last charge, I had shot well over 2700 RAW frames on two batteries -- and both of those batteries each reported 60% charge remaining at that point.



Which brings me to the reporting features. If you are buying this as a second battery, then you are probably already aware of this, but the battery will report its charge level (with a 1% resolution), battery recharge performance, and number of shutter actuations since last charge. The 5D Mark II can then display this information on its Battery Info screen.



With two LP-E6's installed (via the BG-E6 Vertical Grip), the 5D Mark II will register both of the batteries and list their statistics simultaneously in the Battery Info screen. The Shutter Count numbers even operate independently. For example, after a long day of shooting (over 1500 frames), the Battery Info screen told me that Battery 1 was responsible for 806 frames, while Battery 2 was responsible for 746 frames. At this point, the batteries still showed a 78% charge on each one.



Also notable is the fact that the number of shutter actuations for each battery does NOT reset when the battery is removed. Its actuation count is saved, and if you later reinsert the battery (without charging it), the count will still be accurate for that battery. Once you charge the battery, the count is reset.



Finally, as a word of warning: At the time of this review (Jan 20, 2009), the battery prices are ridiculous. Because of high demand, apparently some sellers feel justified in gouging their customers. The current price listed as of this writing is nearly US$200. I bought my second battery before demand went through the roof, and I paid less than US$90 from a reputable Canon dealer. Keep that in mind when deciding where to purchase. Canon LP-E6 Battery Pack for Select Canon Digital SLR Cameras (Retail Package)

Please be aware that the Marketplace seller from whom I purchased this battery sold me a counterfeit battery. This battery is frequently counterfeited and Amazon.com does nothing to stop the practice. This reseller is crooked, and uses a large number of different aliases to rip-off unsuspecting consumers. It is sad to see that Amazon.com is complicit in this criminal behavior.



If you don't believe me, search the internet for the address that the seller is using: 3522 Flatlands Avenue, Brooklyn, NY. Interestingly enough, another camera business by the name of Fumfie also sold/sells camera equipment from the same Brooklyn storefront. Fumfie has a Better Business Bureau rating of 'F'.



Here is what other customers of Fumfie have had to say about this seller:



"This is NOT a reputable seller."



upon receiving my camera today i saw it to be a "Grey market camera" i called Nikon and they didn't even have a record of this camera. i then called and spoke with a gentleman from fumfi company that proceeded to blow a gust of wind up my ass the size of Dorthy's tornado... "



"'TOTAL CROOKS' AND WILL NOT ANSWER MY E-MAILS.my next step is to get the law involved.."



"In the end, it turns out that Fumfie is attempting to do what all the other scamming camera shops do: sell you overpriced accessories and force shipping insurance on you in order to make up for the advertised cheaper camera body."



Sunset Electronics also uses the same phone number as thefotosource.com, jerseyphotostore.com and Louscamera.com. Care to guess why a small store uses so many different aliases? Well, let's see what people have to say about jerseyphotostore.com:



"Seems like fraud company, people read the reviews before jumping into it."



"canon hf s200 is shown 689 in the site, but i was charged 762. Avoid these buggers like plague."



And on and on and on. These people are criminals. Do not buy from them.

The RATING is for the PRODUCT.

The RATING is for the PRODUCT.

The RATING is for the PRODUCT.



Why do you give the battery 1 star because third party sellers overcharge??? The battery happens to be EXCELLENT (hence, the 5 stars), but the ratings don't show it because we all have to whine and complain about other stores' prices. Incredible.



OK, revelation for the day: YOU DON'T HAVE TO BUY IT HERE. WOW! What a concept! I would think that was obvious.



If you are really, really frustrated by third-party stores overcharging (or Amazon for that fact), email Amazon and tell them. I have for other things and they respond very quickly. Let's channel the right info where it belongs. - Lp-e6 - 5d Mark Ii - 7d - Canon

Home Theater Component Shelf

Click here for more information Given the lackof reviews on this item, I was hesitant to buy-so glad I did. Installation was not too difficult, hardest part was installing the bracket on the wall due to the stud positions of my wall. There is lots of room to hide cables, about 2 to 2 1/2 inches behind each panel, and it looks really sharp. I bought two, so I stacked all four shelves atop one another under my wall-mounted TV. The shelves are well designed so that they easily bear the weight of my Denon receiver. Bell'O BWS101 Two-Shelf Component Wall Shelf System with Multiple Wood Finish Panels or Paintable Options (Black)

I purchased the BWS-101 for my new HTPC based on the positive reviews I read and the fact that each shelf holds 50 lbs, since the HTPC is heavy (at least 30 lbs).



The instructions were clear and easy to decipher for a beginner like myself, within about an hour I had 1 of the shelves up and it looks fantastic and feels sturdy. The cable management space behind the wood panel is great, my setup looks better than I thought it would. Since the wood accent panel comes in several finishes to compliment and decor or preference I can see my self using this shelf for many years to come.



On a side note, I stripped some of the screws during installation (I didn't drill deep enough into the stud) and called Bell'O about replacement hardware and a very polite woman picked up on the first ring and without question said she would UPS some new hardware immediately free of charge. Quite impresssive to say the least.

This is a solid product. You can choose to mount between two studs or on a single stud. I chose the single stud and put the shelf to the side of the TV (rather than the typical placement below) because I wanted the components out of reach of the kids. I put the subwoofer for my Sony HT-CT100 on the top shelf. That weighs about 30 lbs, but the shelf holds it no problem. On the other shelf I stacked the cable box and blu-ray player. There is room to hide a thin power strip behind the panels in the wire hiding area.

I love my Bell'O wall shelf. It's a beautiful accent item. I was looking for something to hold my DVD player and cable box. I looked high and low for something like a TV stand. I didn't want a TV stand because my 42" TV is mounted on the wall. The unit almost looks like it's a part of the TV. It looks awesome under my TV. Great purchase!

Covers - iphone, skins

Click here for more information i just received this product in the mail and the first thing i noticed was that they did not give me the color i ordered but after sending them an email they sent me the correct color for free and let me keep the old one as a gift. The seller does try to trick you into thinking that this is the real apple case with legit apple packaging but if you look into it with more detail all the legit packaging list black bumper. This bumper is in fact FAKE but for the money and quality you get, it comes close and you cannot complain. You have to look at the actual product closely to tell the difference between a real apple bumper and this product. White iPhone 4 Bumper Case , Apple iPhone 4 White Case

Like the other reviews point out, this is NOT an Apple product - it is a knock off. However, the product itself is of excellent quality. It fits my phone perfectly, looks exactly like the real product, and of course, is a fraction of the price. As long as you know what you are buying, get this product.

I have had my iphone 4 since it came out and was always skeptical of the bumpers but after purchasing one i love it. It protects the phone when dropped but does not add a lot of extra bulk which is nice. Would def recommend people try the bumbers.

I got this item in the mail and it wasn't what I had ordered. Not only that, but the White Bumper that I did get wasn't the Apple one as advertised in the pictures. It was a decent Fake, but the biggest problem I had with this white Bumper was that there was way too much rubber vs plastic. There were parts where the rubber would overtake the plastic on the sides, it wasn't all white, there were several black and brown smudges and specks on the product. I haven't heard back from them yet, but hopefully I will soon. For the moment being, I wouldn't recommend purchasing from this company. It'll be a hit or miss, I ordered the Black Bumper and it was in amazing condition. So it really just depends on if you get a good fake or a bad one... In my case, I got a taste of both worlds.. - Iphone - Skins

Button Cell Batteries - battery, lr44

Click here for more information My son has a lot of those books with buttons that you push for music or sound effects. As their batteries ran down, I'd occasionally hit the store to get new ones. And for the most part, it was cheaper just to buy a new book than to pay the jacked-up prices they're charging for those little button batteries.



Luckily, I did a quick search and found this deal on Amazon. For roughly the same cost as two of the batteries from the store, I was able to pick up 10 instead (and that includes shipping).



Jury's still out on how well they last, but thus far they've performed admirably. 10 pack MAXELL AG13 LR44 357 button cell battery

With a house full of electronics buying batteries gets expensive. So I bought 10 of these for the price of 2 at the local department store. Not sure how long it has been but haven't needed to replace the first ones I used yet so I am guessing the 10 pack will last for a while.

These batteries are very cheap and I was a little skeptical, but I recently used them in an LED flash light during a 5-day power outage we had across North Alabama and it is still going strong. I'm sold! The shipping was very fast also.

The title says it all. These are very inexpensive batteries because they do not last long. I'm having to replace these batteries again, while another set of original batteries which came with the toys are still running.

Got these as a replacement in a kids toy, w/ in 2 weeks the first set of 3 was dead in the toy, 3 more dead in my cats lazer pointer, 1 of which bagan to swell and seperate. 3 more replaced in the kid toy were dead w/ in 24 hours, threw the last one away. Dont know if they were old or what, no date on pkg and not the same as what is shown on the maxell site as in new pkging. had better luck w/ cheeper ones bought at Hobby Lobby. - Watch Batteries - Lr44 - Button Battery Lr 44 - Battery
