Plays fine, other functions a little slow
on August 30, 2020

Verified Purchase:Yes
I purchased this for my roommate, who watches DVDs all day long. So far we've not had any major issues, however, there's a lengthy delay for some of the mechanical operations of this device. Although the remote control is very responsive, that act of opening the disc tray seems obscenely long, and the process of initializing/reading the disc for any DVD menu seems lengthy as well.
That being said, for just playing discs, it's done a great job, especially considering just how scratched some of my roommate discs are. It's a good enough player given that we needed one at the last minute after moving to a new home.

Extends lines but I don't know about speed
on August 30, 2020
Posted by: ZackAttack
Verified Purchase:Yes
I purchased this to extend line a little further to my production desk to maintain a landline connection instead of WiFi. I've had no trouble with this, though I haven't investigated actual speeds. So far, downloads have been what I average with my other computer that plugs directly into my modem/router. So I don't think I've really lost any speed, but I've already got pretty fast speeds to begin with so if I did lose speed it's insignificant.
If you rely on specific speeds and networking I can't vouch that it will be exactly what you need.

Works great for connections
on August 30, 2020
Posted by: ZackAttack
Verified Purchase:Yes
I'm not into networking or anything, I simply purchased this to be able to have landline in my music production computer instead of using WiFi, so I can't vouch for precise speeds or anything. All I can say is it works and is more reliable than using my WiFi connection, especially for downloading massive production files.
My only gripe is the cable is wound in such a small circle on the packaging (though this is usually the case for most manufacturers). Therefore, having it mounted to my wall, tracing around a doorway and running along near floorboards, the cable wanted to coil back at times and pulled the mounting adhesive off the wall. So, you might want to lay the cable out and put something flat and heavy on different ends for a couple of days to be able to sculpt its layout to your needs.

Great deal on sale

Verified Purchase:Yes
Purchased the drive to have an affordable backup for numerous sources for music production. It was a bonus to have the USB flash drive included given that I've had to move different files between 3 music production computers as of late, and the small size makes it all the easier.
I've only really used the drive once as initial backups when setting up a new production computer, and the transfer speeds seemed fine with me. I couldn't really tell if it excelled or was too slow for others, given that I was moving over 3TBs, including hundreds of thousands of files (it was going to be an hours long process either way). No matter what, the process was taking time, so you'll have to go by other's experiences.
That being said, I've been using a similar WD Easystore for my massive xbox game collection, and it worked wonders for that. The rubber pads on the bottom keeps it stable on the desk.

Not much to say, it's perfectly fine
on August 30, 2020
Posted by: ZackAttack
Verified Purchase:Yes
There's not a lot to say about this cable. It's a very sturdy and solid build, unlike a lot of flimsy knockoffs you'll find in drugstores. I bought this as a replacement for a cord that was used by my roommate for two years. Although he only used it for two years, he's a very messy person, and used his iPod for numerous hours every single day. So, given that the cord's rubber started fraying around the lighting end didn't surprise (it was minimal, but not safe for him).

Hands down best gaming headset I've ever owned
on August 30, 2020
Posted by: ZackAttack
Verified Purchase:Yes
Been gaming for nearly 35 years, and although I've used headsets for PC since the 90s I didn't start buying gaming headsets until the mid 2000s. Some good, some absolutely terrible, never an amazing experience until I picked these up.
It doesn't matter if you're playing a First Person Shooter or a Role Playing Game, the amount and quality of atmosphere provided allows for not just a better sonic experience, but a welcome change in the processing of audio content while gaming. I can her proximity effects like footsteps in all directions, the doppler effect is pronounced like you're really somewhere experiencing it.
There's a nice, although somewhat limited EQ customization on the little Mixamp. I particularly like the ability to mix my game sounds with party chat when I'm gaming with friends--allowing me to hear the things I need to while communicating with friends without a loss of quality from either end.
The detachable/moveable mic is nice both for storage and moving the mouth piece when necessary.
The only real downside for me is that the Mixamp cord is wired in. I wish companies wouldn't do this as the Mixamp could be working just fine, but if the cord becomes crimped and no longer has a full connection, I'll have to replace the whole Mixamp/cord, instead of a very simple $5.00 replacement cord.

Great and easy to use
on August 30, 2020

Verified Purchase:Yes
Although purchased for the Rode M5 condenser mics, it could likely be used with any pencil condenser mic.
The device is rather simple and very easy to use. It allows for me to not only do a stereo recording, but I can also just focus on recording separate sections of my acoustic guitar at the same time for different mixing options later. Would be nice if it was a bit longer, but I'm not sure if that would cause stability issues for a mic arm or not.
I haven't ever really had any issues with Rode products--they offer some affordable options for the struggling home recording musician. Would definitely recommend.

So far, so good, and a fair price

Having purchased the Rode NT-1A for recording, I wasn't very happy about the way it was picking up background noise in my room while trying to track acoustic guitar. I figured I'd give these a shot, plus it would give me the opportunity to have more choices during mixing, especially after purchasing the separate Rode stereo array spacing bar.
Being able to track the guitar at two different locations along the fretboard/body will allow for some unique recordings without double the work or separate takes.
Although I haven't used them a whole lot as my tracking plans for acoustic guitar have been shelved, I did test them for a couple of nights. Immediately I was happy that I was getting a more focused recording without all the "airy" high-end of my NT-1A, and even my old MXL pencil condensers.
The mics are very small and easy to store, although it would be nice to have individual cardboard boxes for each mic outside of the initial packaging.

Can be used for numerous devices
on August 30, 2020
Posted by: ZackAttack
Verified Purchase:Yes
Although I purchased this mainly for a gaming laptop, it's sturdy enough to safely use any device within its size limitations. If I weren't using it for my laptop, I'd happily use it for my iPad Pro when using Remote for Logic Pro X.
The main reason I got this is to allow airways and extra space in my room. I have a few cords and smaller electronics that fit perfectly underneath my laptop now instead of taking up more desk real estate.
The build is rather sturdy, and so far the rails that allow you to change the angle seem snug enough for any angle, but maybe time will tell if they wear down.
Although the holes on the tray are great, the tray could stand to use more throughout the entirety of it's surface, to help with device cooling. If you want, you could probably safely drills some holes of your own without weakening the integrity of the tray. Would definitely recommend or buy again (even used if I have to).

Was this made for children?

I don't have particularly large hands or wrists and I can barely get this around my wrist. If I move my arm/wrist too much, there's the chances it will detach. The metal button/clasp for attaching the bracelet and cord isn't very snug, as I've had them separate numerous times when stretching because the cord as well is rather short for completing some work.
That being said, it does what it's supposed to do, albeit within means of limited movement.

I can't seem to find a list of approved 3rd party modems, and can only find forums indicating that ATT will only lease to you and won't activate 3rd party modems. However, you should call them to find out for sure if that's the case. If 3rd party modems are allowed you should ask them to provide a list of any that are compatible with their activation.
