I bought these speakers for my office, and find them well suited to the setting. The speakers have two inputs so you can output the computer sound and use the an aux input to play from another device (like an iPod or smart phone). The sound is very rich, wonderful bass tones, plenty of clear volume. All in all, a great set of speakers for the price.

I bought these Air Pods as a gift for my wife so she could listen to her music collection at work. Like other Apple products, these puppies configured themselves in a snap and work flawless with her new iPhone. Pricey? A bit, but worth it as long as they don’t get lost or stolen.

This was a "for the want of a nail" story. I needed to upgrade my graphic card, which then required a power grade upgrade. This unit slipped right into place, and with some careful tracking of the wire harness, I was able to straightforwardly hook all the power lines into their respective places, first try. Well worth the effort.

Nice video card, and a needed upgrade to my desktop system since Windows 10 did not support my original card. The hardware was a tight fit (the width occupies 2 slots and it’s a trifle taller than the older card) but I was able to cobble it into the box, and since then have had no more system crashes. And the graphic quality’s much improved. One thing to be aware of is that I had to get adapters to mate up my old monitors—a slight additional expense, offset by the card’s 5-monitor capacity. Give a little, get back a bunch.

After going round the track with Comcast techies about the mediocre Wi-Fi range in my house, I bought this Wi-Fi extender and installed it midway between the router and the outer boundary of the house. Now we get good connections on our wireless devices.

Probably one of the best features of this trimmer is the gentle blade, great for those sensitive areas, followed by the long extension so you can cut back the back hair shrubbery. Makes you feel free.

Will this cable hook into a digital audio jack into the back of a digital audio jack in back of a soundbar

Wow, complex question! If the female jack is 1/8 in., this cord should do it.

I need a cable to connect my iPod to the Sony SRS-XB20 ... will this work? If so, is there a shorter cable available? Thanks!

1/8-in. jacks are generically universal. I bought this cord to link my iPod to various output devices, computers and standard stereo equipment. Works great!

As for length, too long is better than too short. Six feet will never compromise sound quality through impedance. For my purposes, this cord fit the bill.

Does this headset work with dragon 13? can someone please let me know?
thank you
Yes, works great -- just be sure to select the correct sound source and go through the setup with the headphones. The stiff mice arm keeps the mike at a consistent distance from your mouth for easy setup and optimal operation. Works great for me!

Does the microphone bend for adjustment?

I need one that can be close to my mouth since my job has me on this a lot and the one I have no the mic doesn't bend and the clients have a hard time hearing me.
No, the mike arm itself is stiff, although it does swivel on the end, up and down.
