What a bang for my buck. Best purchase of the year. Beautiful sound quality. Fantastic build quality as well. Touching the material of the headphones make me feel like they're going to hold up for at least a decade. There is no noise cancellation, but who cares about that when the music is blasting inside my ears? There is also zero leakage to the outside world so I can gladly wear the headphones while at work and surrounded by 5 engineers without worrying about them getting distracted by my music.The headphones come packaged with 2 types of cables as shown in the pictures. The uncurled (i.e. straight) cable is a little too long and is probably meant for professional DJs that might walk far away from their desk. But I can deal with that super long cable by switching to the alternative curly, telephone-cord like cable. There is also a separate shorter and straight replacement audio cable that you can buy from Amazon. Link here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00LIDDLPO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I've already ordered my shorter, replacement cable (I don't like the curly cord very much to be honest) and it should arrive in a few days!The locking mechanism that attaches the cable to the headphones is extremely sturdy and was very intuitive to install without requiring me to read the manual. I'm not the least bit worried about the cable ripping if the headphones get too far away from my laptop for whatever reason.I actually got another similar pair, the ATH-M30X, for free at work first because it was getting too loud in the office and I had to buckle down to do work on my computer without any distractions. I liked this pair so much and was so tired of shuttling these great headphones back and forth between work and home that I just decided to bite the bullet and swallow the cost to get another pair for home exclusively. When I went shopping for Amazon, I just decided it was worth the extra $30 for the next model because it allowed me to replace the cable with something shorter.

**Edited**The item looks great and instructions are easy to follow but it just does not stick to surfaces. We tried two different vehicles and several different surfaces (console, dash, windshield) … followed the instructions from the kit as well as the hints left by reviewers … and no luck. It stuck to the windshield the longest (a half day) but then fell off and dinged up my console. Frustrating to make so many attempts … and not worth damaging my car or my phone with further tries at getting it to work so have returned it.** ** A week after returning the item customer service emailed me asking if they could exchange the item. I had already returned it so I basically ignored it. I recvd another email explaining that they really wanted to make it right and could I explain the problem in further detail, maybe send a pic of the dash of the car so they could offer helpful hints for placement, and again could she send out a replacement item. I wrote back asking how she felt another unit would work better than the last as I wasn’t interested in purchasing the same item repeatedly to “try” and have them damage my console. She explained that they truly want to make things right, they have some options and are willing to help … she was also willing to pay all costs and sent me a free unit to try. I’ve never had a company try so hard get their product out there! The unit came and has a different locking mechanism than the first one .. instead of a twist lock this has a flip handle lock. I followed all instructions and it works like a charm … has been attached for 9 days and I love it. She has followed up to ask if it is working and if not she wanted to continue to find a unit that does work … so customer service is the best I have ever seen with this company. They are trying and want your feedback so give them a shot. I don’t know if there is a way to request the flip lock over the twist lock but if so that one seems to work better at least for me ~ or if you have trouble request to exchange for it.

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull Doctor Jones in back and his fans are pleased. They should be. The fourth in the Indiana Jones series is a worthy addition to the body of the Jones sagas. It is not the best of the four, but it would be unreasonable to expect that kind of magic. It is not a disappointment, which for a fourth film on the same subject is not to be sneezed at. Legendary director Steven Spielberg directed “Crystal Skull’. His friend and fellow legend George Lucas wrote the script. These are two of the most prolific and successful people in Hollywood history. Their stamp is all over the movie. Many familiar sight gags from the previous films are back again. Not to say that the film is stale, better to say comfortable, like a familiar friend. I liked the reprise of the ore car scene from ‘Temple of Doom’ replayed with Russian trucks in the Amazon jungle. It was fun. Speaking of old friends, Karen Allen is back. She was Indiana’s sweetheart in the first movie. It was touching to see the grand parent aged twosome back in sync again. Harrison Ford is back in full heroic fervor in the title role. For me, a long time fan of Dr. Jones, just seeing Mr. Ford back in the familiar battered fedora was worth the trip to the theater. A deep bench of supporting actors of the first rank keeps the film interesting. Cate Blanchett once again gets to carry a sword, however unlikely this seems. Her character is a Soviet agent in 1957. John Hurt, a superb actor, gets to play a man driven insane by the Crystal Skull of the title. Ray Winstone has a major role as Dr. Jone’s old friend and fellow adventurer. New comer Shia LaBeouf plays the son of Karen Allen’s character. He is as young and feisty as Dr. Jones is old and creaky. He is positioned to take over the franchise in future Indiana Jones movies. He won’t be Indie, but he can carry the load. The movie is rated PG for some violence and scary stuff, both pretty tame by modern standards. Three nostalgic saw blades for this fast moving adventure. Indiana Jones is back. Trust him.

My husband couldn't stand the sound of the white noise machine my daughter gave me (he snores, but can't stand the sound of a white noise machine???) so told me to pick out whatever I wanted to replace it. I researched thoroughly before deciding on this machine, and am still happy after 15 months of use. I also recently bought my daughter and her husband one just like it, and they both like the quality and variety of sounds offered.There are several different sounds to choose from, and one person will probably never use all of them, but the best things about this machine are the quality of the recordings, and the variations possible within each "sound story." These seem to be actual recordings of actual environments, and are so long and well done that I have never noticed the repeats.. They are NOT cheap MIDI recordings. There is also, in addition to your basic sound, two other levels of depth (complexity) of sounds, so each sound can be experienced three different ways. There is also an ambient noise function which I myself leave off, but I'm sure there are some who would really appreciate it.Shortly after the one-year warranty expired, I noticed the thunder had disappeared from the rainstorm sound story on level 2 and 3. Then we started hearing short intervals of static. We live by a major thoroughfare, and blamed in on police radar. About two weeks after that, the static just took over.By then we were at lease 2 months out of warranty. I called Adaptive Sound Technologies, and my problem was resolved right then and there by the first person I spoke with. They asked for the serial #, and informed me they had received a batch with failing sound cards. Within three calendar days I had my new sound card, and my machine is good (or better) than new. NO HASSLE, NO RUNAROUND, just great customer service with one short call. The price in December was also down to $100. Sounds like a lot for a sound machine, but worth every penny.

This lamp is so amazing, I bought three of them. I point it to the wall and it really does light up my whole living room with comfortable indirect light. The design is sleek and low-profile, exactly the kind of minimalist aesthetic that I love. The price is awesome for the amount of light that it brings, and it's great to never have to worry about light bulbs, since LEDs last so long.That being said, here are a few notes on the lamp:1. It does not play well with switches, so if you want to control it from across the room, you have to wait a few seconds after you flick the switch (between 2 - 5 seconds on average) for it to turn on. However, touching the panel on the light when it's plugged into a live outlet always turns the light on instantly. I've tested a few things: if I leave the lamp at the lowest brightness setting and flick the switch off and on, it does not turn on faster than if left on the highest brightness. If I flick the switch off and on really quick, the lamp seems to turn on slightly faster than with a longer pause. I think this means that the controller in the stem of the lamp itself is what takes a few seconds to start up, but it isn't worth it to me to figure out how to circumvent the internal controller by directly applying different voltage inputs. TL;DR it responds to the touch panel instantly, but takes a few seconds to turn on if you plug it into a switch.2. It's a little shorter than other floor lamps I'm used to. I point it to the wall because I like ambient light, so this isn't a problem, but if you point it toward the room, be prepared to be optically dazzled.3. The lamp cycles from brightest - medium - dimmest - off when you touch the panel. I personally find it a bit of a pain to touch the panel 3 times to turn it off, since I only ever use the brightest setting. Not a dealbreaker.All in all, an awesome lamp. So awesome that I wrote a giant review for it, and I own three of them. Hope this helps in your decision!

I just purchased my 3rd Muzen Wild Mini. WOW – REAL SOUND!!! This little “big sounding” speaker is awesome. The sound is so clear. I really love it. BTW This thing is like a mini tank. Metal enclosure, rugged hardware, cover for the USB charge port, even looks like mill spec. The light on this speaker can be used as a flashlight and even has SOS blink feature. The chrome knob controls volume. It feels really nice in my hands. Ergonomically laid out well as it’s very easy to control and operate. There is a lanyard loop on the top which I use to hang over my workbench. The battery lasts very long even while playing songs with a lot of base. I also noticed it quickly charges. I’m guessing it has superior LiIon batterie(s) inside. The round black button is a multi-function button. You can press it or twist left and right. Functions are play/stop, last, next, or hold for FF, REW. Pretty much everything you need and nothing extra that you don’t need.One of the coolest things about this product is that it doesn’t look like a BT speaker, it looks like military equipment. It also doesn’t feel like a speaker. The moment I held the speaker, before I even turned it on, I felt like I got my money’s worth because it just feels like it has that high quality.I gave one to my son who really enjoys it. He uses it with an android phone and tells me the sound is superior in his room. He said, “It totally feels like a perfect gift for a man.”The speaker ships in a hard plastic container lined with foam on all sides. I like that because not only does it protect the device during shipping, but it also functions as a great presentation box if you want to give as a gift.I whole heartedly recommend this speaker because of it’s look, quality, durability, and cool factor. I don’t think you can lose giving this as a gift or treating yourself.

I bought this speaker for my wife based on our positive experience with a Doss Soundbox Touch speaker we had recently purchased. The Soundbox Pro speaker is easy to use, connects flawlessly via Bluetooth and sounds very good! Honestly, I can't imagine why anyone would spend 2, 3 or 4+ times as much for a "big brand name" portable Bluetooth speaker.From sound quality through features through the rugged, waterproof design this speaker offers a pleasing, value packed listening experience. I'm not sure that you get a full 12 hours of play time, but it still plays a lot of music between battery recharges.The one very big annoyance I have with this speaker is with the flashing LED feature on the front face. I understand that this feature is probably popular for (mostly) younger purchasers, and at least you can control it to select solid LED colours or turn the LED off altogether. However...every time you turn off your speaker it defaults to the flashing LED mode the next time you turn it on. With all the smarts on board this speaker (it remembers the extra bass mode selected, for example), why can't it remember the last LED mode selected?!? We personally NEVER want the LED flashing so it's disappointing that we have to turn this feature off every time we turn on the speaker.The "extra bass" feature offers flexibility for listeners, but I do find that it tends to muffle the highs and mids a little when turned on. I prefer to listen to music with the "extra bass" turned off for the most part.The stereo pairing feature is a nice touch. I would consider buying a second speaker for this feature, BUT then I'd have two Soundbox Pro speakers I'd have to turn off the flashing LED feature every time I wanted to listen to music. Too bad.Overall great speaker for the price if you can live with the flashing LED function as a default mode. Worth consideration particularly given it's price point, but I can't highly recommend it due it's one big feature faux pas.

Decided to give this coffee a try. I figured it was worth a shot given the price. I made a cup the morning after I received it. I took a sip and it made me smile. Very unusual for me to smile in the morning. I took another sip and I surprisingly did some sort of happy dance in my seat. Ok.. this is getting out of hand... I can’t possibly turn into this type of person. By the time I finished my cup I found myself singing and dancing as I prepared myself for my day. WTH is happening to me?? I am very concerned at this point. During my daily commute I realized I am smiling and nodding at neighboring commuters. Oh lordy... I even let a few cars go ahead of me. So I get to work and I greet everyone with a smile. I get to my daily tasks and finish them without yelling at anyone or asking them if they are naturally this stupid or if it’s a hard earned skill. Now my coworkers are concerned. I get called into HR. Usually it’s because I’m in trouble. But this time they actually smile at me. I’m not used to people smiling at me and being pleased with me. All I see are teeth and take it as a sign of aggression. I spring into action and jump on Little Ms. HR I’m So Perfect Do Good’s desk and strike my best Jackie Chan pose and motion with my hand giving her the “come at me bro”. Next thing I know I’m being hauled away by security and I’ve lost my job. All because one d@$m amazingly, perfectly blended cup of coffee. I’m out of work and have no money. But luckily I still have 99 of these amazing little coffee pods to hold me over. And I’ll just keep my happy, smiling, dancing in my seat self at home.The only thing bitter about this coffee is how it made me feel. I miss my grumpy non morning self.PS: Out of work, please send free coffee.
