Good Choice for Android Devices

How Often Used:Daily
Currently using these with my Samsung Galaxy Note 2. Very pleased with the sound quality, and how well people on the other side of a conversation can hear me with the built in microphone. The tangle-free cord is nice, and everything seems to be well built. Wasn't a big fan of the free app made by Klipsch for button control, but I found the application "Headset Button Controller" on the Google Play Market to be much better. With it I can do pause / play, skip forward, skip back, and volume control with the single button, while still accessing Google Now voice functions with a Long Press. Highly recommended.
The only negatives are:
1) Rubber ear buds they come with are a bit uncomfortable, and create a pressure in my ears making them pop like I am constantly driving over a high elevation mountain pass. I came from a set of Shure 210's that recently died, and I really liked the foam "ear-plug" style buds they came with for both comfort and blocking outside noise. So I just pulled them off and am now using them with the S4A's... problem solved.
2) Other negative isn't a deal-breaker, just a minor annoyance. The headphone jack is long and vertical, and these type seem to be easy to break if the phone is in your pocket. They should have gone with an L shape jack that would be less likely to break.

Overall its one of the best options for good sound quality with an in-line mic for Android Phones, especially if paired with a good button controller application.
Also wanted to note that they have a new design for the button area, which is different from the pictures on Best Buy's web page. I have included a picture in this review.
What's great about it: Sound Quality, Durability, Good Mic, Tangle-free cord
What's not so great: Rubber ear buds, 3.5mm jack shape
I would recommend this to a friend!

Protects, Looks nice, but gets destroyed by S-Pen
on November 26, 2012
Posted by: MrArmageddon

Overall the Zagg HD screen protectors are good products, but after just a few days with one on my Note 2, it was clear that it isn't a good match for this device.
Installation was easy, and it seems to cover / protect well, has good clarity, and doesn't have the rubbery feel of Zagg screens in the past. But as soon as you whip out the S-Pen, one of the defining features of the Galaxy Note series, you are left with marks all over the screen protector that do not "self heal" or go away over time. After a few days, it made things difficult to read on the screen. See attached for a picture of what mine looked like.
Usually I have no problem recommending Zagg protectors, but for this specific device, I would look at SGP Ultra Crystal protectors, which for me has held up for almost 2 weeks with no trace of gouges or damage to the protector from the S-Pen.
What's great about it: Feels like glass, no screen distortion
What's not so great: Doesn't hold up well against S-Pen
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Samsung Galaxy Note II I317 Cell Phone for AT&T: Combining the best of a smartphone and a tablet, its huge 5.5" screen provides a great view of photos, videos and web pages yet its thin and lightweight design makes it easy to hold and carry. Use the enhanced S Pen to write on the display and personalize e-mails, highlight calendar appointments and make sketches. AT&T Next option available. Learn more ›

Most Advanced Smartphone on the Market

Phone size:Large
This is by far the most advanced smartphone currently on the market. I went from a Galaxy S III to this guy, and couldn't be happier. The GSIII is also a great device, but this phone leverages all the great things found in the GSIII and adds a larger/better screen, S-Pen support, and amazing battery life.
LTE on this device is VERY fast (see attached screen shot), and the quad core processor + 2GB of RAM makes everything nice and smooth. I have over 200 applications installed, and have had zero issues with any of them after almost 2 weeks using this device. Productivity apps, media, and even high-end games run amazingly well. Battery life is also stellar, easily getting through a full day, even with over 5+ hours of screen use (web browsing, navigation, pandora, etc), and almost 2 hours of call time. S-Pen adds some really cool functionality, especially the ability to take notes, add pictures or PDF files, and add comments to the images on the spot. I have also enabled "Multi-View" allowing me to have 2 panels open at the same time, for a muti-tasking experience similar to what you can do on a PC.
Accessories are a bit scarce right now, but a few cases can be found online. More will be available in coming days, especially after Samsung announced they have already sold over 5 million of them.
Overall I couldn't be happier with this device. Not everyone will appreciate a phone of this size, but for me it is perfect. I recently spent some time with an iPhone 5, and couldn't wait to get back to the larger screen (and added functionality + customization) of the Note 2. Best Smartphone currently available, hands down.
What's great about it: Large beautiful Screen, excellent battery life, S-Pen support, Fast fast fast
What's not so great: Size (for some individuals)
I would recommend this to a friend!

This Phone has it all!

Age:25-34
Phone size:Just right
I have had this device for about 2 months, and can honestly say it is the best device I have ever laid my hands on. Just about everything you could want to do on a mobile device, can be done on the GSIII. The screen is amazing, and I love the extra real estate you get with the combination of a larger screen and higher resolution than the competition. Makes texting easier as well for those of us with large hands / fingers. I can easily get a full day use of of it without having to charge it, and I am a heavy user.
The only con I can think of is that the camera, although it takes very good pictures and HD video in most situations, can be a tad lackluster in low-light.
Other than that, this is an amazing device and makes smaller phones feel like a toy in my hands.

Great Idea, Horrible Product
on September 2, 2010
Posted by: MrArmageddon
from Denver, CO
I have been through two sets of these Energizer battery sets. They work for about a week or so, but now the light on the charging unit just flashes red when I place the controllers on it.
I took it back an exchanged it for a new set, but a month later, the same thing happened. Don't buy this product. Energizer obviously didn't do any long-term testing of the battery packs.
What's great about it: Works great for a few weeks
What's not so great: Battery units die after just a few weeks
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Share your playlist in an older vehicle with this JamKastFM universal transmitter, which works in any vehicle with an FM stereo. Plug-and-play function requires no involved setups, and dTECT technology finds clear frequencies and remembers them for later use. The bright LED backlit display on this JamKastFM universal transmitter is easy to read in any lighting.

Good Signal Quality
on April 14, 2010
Posted by: MrArmageddon
from Denver, CO
The JamKast works great. The auto-tune feature that finds the best stations to use for the FM Transmitter works much better than other products I have tried. Even when driving around Downtown Denver, it had no problem finding frequencies to broadcast on with my Zune HD.
Of the 4 frequencies it chose, 3 were excellent connections. Very simple to use, and good sound quality. Does what it should. I just wish it had an extra USB port like other FM Transmitters so I could charge a phone or media player while this one is occupying the 12v plug in. Overall I am happy with the purchase.
What's great about it: Good Signal Quality, Easy to find Stations
What's not so great: No additional USB ports for charging additional devices like some of its competition
I would recommend this to a friend!

I have co-workers that have the Note II, installed Zagg shields, and their results are the same as mine. Not going to worry about getting a replacement from Zagg, as it seems most have this same issue.
After the Zagg mishap, I went with a SPIGEN SGP Ultra Crystal protector (which still looks perfect 1 month later), and haven't looked back.
