I've had this boombox now for over two months, and am still surprised at how happy it makes me. I retired almost a year ago, and it brings back memories of my college days during which a box like this was my sole means of entertainment. I have a large collection of cassette tapes that I wished to digitize before they crumbled to dust, and this has made that task easily doable. But in the process of doing this I discovered that these old tapes sounded incredibly good! I was also surprised at how well preserved these old tapes (many over 40 years old) were. This box has a good stereo cassette player, and also a good radio. The fact that it also incorporates so much useful new technology greatly enhances the pleasure it provides. I strongly recommend this boombox for your purchase - the value it provides far exceeds it's price.

I have had this webcam for over a year. It was very easy to set up - simply plug and play. I have it plugged in to my desktop. It is mounted to the top of my monitor - the mount was simple to do, and has remained steady and secure since I first mounted it. I have been using it for Skyping with family members regularly for the past year. They all tell me that the video is excellent, as is the audio. I recently bought a high end headset (Sennheiser Game One) with a very good microphone - and I had no difficulty disabling the microphone on this webcam so I could use the microphone on the headset. I have been very happy with this webcam, and recommend it strongly.

I picked these up on "Deal of the Day" for $39.99 (Half price). But even at full price I find they are a good buy.
I got them to use on my daily workouts. I use them to listen to music while I exercise. I use them with my Galaxy S7 Edge phone. I have never had a problem pairing them with this device.
I have also never had a problem pairing them with the left ear bud, once I learned how to properly insert them in the charging case (more on this shortly).
They are comfortable enough for my use, and I could see wearing them for several hours - but would prefer a good pair of over-the-ear headphones for watching movies.
The quality of the sound with both earbuds in, and properly seated, is very good.
Properly seated the noise isolation is very, very good. It is so good that I have a hard time hearing what people are saying. As a result, I usually just use the right bud while in the fitness room so I can be polite with my neighbors. The sound quality with one earbud is good (but not as good as with both). If I am alone, I use both buds.
Battery life I believe is as stated (4.5hrs). A couple of times I ran them for 4hrs at moderate volume and got no notice of any problem.
I have used them as far as 20 feet from my phone, and they have remained connected. I tried them in another room, with a wall between me and the phone at a distance of 12ft, and they remained connected.
There have been a few reviews reporting pairing issues with the left earbud. It should be noted that both buds have to be properly charged to pair and operate. Unfortunately it is easy to mistake the charge state of the buds in the charging box. The LEDs will be off when fully charged, and the same will be true if they are uncharged. To properly charge them they have to be properly positioned on the charging pins in the box. If the buds can be "wiggled", they are not properly positioned. With a little practice and care one can gain proficiency in properly positioning them for charging.
I have found these earbuds to be a very good choice for workouts, and recommend them even at their full price as a good buy.

I use this when I travel across the Atlantic ocean, because it is truly portable. It works well with my tiny action camera (Yi 4k) and my compact camera (Canon PowerShot S110). It takes up very little space and is very light weight. It can easily fit into my day bag used for touring. It's multi-functionality is another plus.

I have to make a number of long flights each year across the Atlantic ocean, and have gotten weary lugging headphones with me for these trips. These wired earbuds provide a good alternative. They are much, much smaller and lighter. They provide reasonable noise isolation. They provide good audio for music and movies. I find that the microphone does an acceptable job for making phone calls. The multi-function button supplies the few controls I need while traveling. The L-shaped plug is easier to live with when squished into the extremely narrow seats in economy. I can wear these earbuds comfortably for up to 4 hours.

I purchased this drive to make routine backups of my windows desktop pc, using Acronis True Image. It does so with great speed, and with no issues. I love that it has an on/off switch on its rear, so I can leave it hooked up permanently to my machine and to its power supply. It is clearly extremely well made, and looks like it will last for at least 5 more years.

I got this monitor to act as a second monitor for my desktop computer. It was one of very few monitors that can be rotated into portrait mode, a feature I very much wanted for my workstation. It functions extremely well in that position, and I have it in that orientation permanently. I use it for editing code, and for monitor windows. It is in fact the second such monitor that I have purchased. The screen is perfect for my purposes.

Listen to your favorite albums with this Onkyo DX-C390(B) 6-disc CD player that features Vector Linear Shaping Circuitry technology for clear, brilliant audio. The high-precision multibit D/A converter delivers high-quality sound.
Can I stack my Yamaha receiver on top of the CD player? The CD player is a bit too wide to use side by side.
I would say it is ok to put your receiver on top of the cd player, but would recommend against putting the receiver under it. Receivers can generate a fair amount of heat, and you generally want to have good airflow on the top and sides of the receiver.

is this drive 5400 rpm or 7200 rpm? most likely 5400 for the good price but just need to know
This drive is 5400rpm. There are very few external 7200rpm drives. Check out G-Technology and Buffalo, who offer a few.
