Pros: Excellent quality case, deep rich sound, multiple size ear cups, quality voice pickup from mic, convenient intuitive iPhone controls, flat cord is tangle resistant

Cons: Cost, possibly too much bass for some, straight cord in lieu of right angle

Overall Review: I foolishly lost my Klipsch S4i headphones on a recent business trip and decided to try this new generation R6i as a replacement. I was extreemly pleased with the S4i's and I was worried whether these would meet the bar set by the S4i's. The description on the Klipsch web site indicated that they considered the R6i to be new and improved. I liked the look of them and sought out other reviews. Most reviews were all the same in that they found the R6i's to deliver quality sound but were heavy on the bass. I concur with those reviews as the sound of the R6i's is deep and rich in bass. I often listen to music with ear buds at a low volume so I find the bass boost to be fine with me. During times I listen at a higher volume, I must say that the bass seems to dominate a little more than I like. I found that I just had to change my iPhone equalizer setting to "treble booster" (I have severe upper frequency hearing loss) and the sound is just outstanding! The EQ setting perfectly offset the R6i's tendency to overdrive the bass. All other aspects of the set meet or exceed the S4i headphones. I love the case, the flat cord, the mic position, the mic's voice quality, the ability of the ear buds to muffle ambient sound, and the comfort of the fit. I don't think I could be happier with them. I just prefer having a right angle plug in lieu of the straight one that they come with.

Pros: Belkin products were recommended to me as being the best brand for this type of USB to RS-232 conversion.

Cons: Although there is no indication of this on NewEgg, this product does not come with any drivers for 32-bit Windows OS nor are there any available on the Belkin web site.

Overall Review: Belkin web site claims that they have another similar product (F5U257) that does have 64-bit drivers. Why on earth don't they just make a 64-bit driver for this product?

Pros: • No brainer installation • Sharp image • Low cost • Quick shipping • Threaded screw lugs

Cons: The device will fail if a cell phone is near it

Overall Review: I always use a second monitor with my 17" laptop as it helps out using AutoCAD. My latest laptop only had HDMI output while my second monitor was a 15" 1280x1024 VGA type. I didn't want to spring for a new monitor just to have HDMI so I found this adapter. There is no installation at all as you plug the cord into your HDMI and the VGA cable into the adapter. The adapter has threaded lugs to screw the VGA cable into which is nice. The device generates very little heat and the image on my second monitor seems even sharper than it was out of my old laptop with VGA straight out of the computer. I found that it worked far better to set my second monitor to 75Hz in lieu of 60Hz like I used to run it. At 60Hz, parts of the image would be fuzzy. I also discovered that laying my iPhone within 6" of the adapter would cause it to blink and even turn off altogether. It was not enough of a con to deduct an egg.

Pros: Belkin USB to RS-232 adapters were recommended to me as being the best manufacturer for this type of product

Cons: Although there is no indication on the NewEgg site, this product does not come with drivers for any 64-bit Windows OS nor are there any available on the Belkin web site. Can't tell you if this product works since I no longer own any 32-bit computers

Overall Review: Belkin web site claims that they offer a similar product (F5U257) that does have 64-bit drivers. Why on earth don't they just make a 64-bit driver for this one?

Pros: I've used this kit more than a dozen times to help friends and family retrieve data from a dead computer. The hapless victim usually had a dead laptop from having spilled something on it and they have no backup. We remove the drive, put it on the kit, and viola! we have their precious data. Kingwin has many newer docking kits out now that run on USB 3.0 but I find this kit to be just fine for the older drives that I usually run into doing these operations. Following the instructions, which should be intuitively clear if you do technical work, will get you wonderful results. I've never tried the one touch backup so I can't comment about it. I just access the drive via Windows Explorer and move the files to a new USB drive. This thing does exactly what I need it to.

Cons: You call that a manual?!? They really ought to include some decent instructions. As so many other reviewers have pointed out: 1. Connect the interface to the bare drive 2. Connect the power to the bare drive 3. Connect the USB to your computer Follow that order or you won't be pleased. It's also good to have a fan to keep the bare drive cool.

Pros: Performs as advertised, straightforward hardware installation, good sound, flexible selection of output (stereo, quadraphonic, 5.1, or 7.1), works well with Windows 7 64-bit

Cons: Driver is difficult to install

Overall Review: I purchased this card as the motherboard sound chips suffered a fatality on an HP mini tower. The board went in easily enough. On powering up, the system found the new hardware but Windows Update found no driver. I used the driver from the CD keeping in mind that I had to find the correct one (there are three on the CD) for this model. The executable driver installer took a LONG time to do its Kung-fu then hung at the end. I had to force quit the installer using Task Manager. When I went to reboot, the computer hung forcing me to manually power it down. On the reboot, sound was fine. The new card operates just fine under the normal Windows Sound Control Panel using the Windows volume control. So...all was well but what a trip to get there. Had the driver installed without crashing and forcing a cold reboot, I would give it 5-stars. A nice way to fix a computer with dead sound and quite cost effective.

I got a new laptop that only has HDMI output for video. I always like having a second monitor for CAD work but my second monitor was an older one with RBG. The adapter works perfectly and CoolGadget got the adapter to me even sooner than expected. No regrets whatsoever.
