Reasonably Good
Pros: Small, well built and professional looking. Packaging was very well done. Good volume Reasonable Bass response
Cons: Not getting any stereo separation, but that is not promised except in customer questions & answers. Operation is easy, but not intuitive. (see Other Thoughts) I find the highs a little muted from what i expected, but I am a Klipsch fan so this might just be my expectation problem
Overall Review: To get the unit into pairing mode is not intuitive, you must turn the unit on with one pull up of a switch, then pull up and hold the same switch again for 5 seconds to get into pairing mode. It is in the instructions, but there is no indication on the unit. So if you lose the instructions or someone not familiar with the unit tries to use it, it will be basically useless. This happened three days after we set it up, my niece was visiting and she was home alone and couldn't figure it out (she is tech savy) until I got home and showed her how it worked. She said what I did, why not put a simple legend showing the functionality of that pull up switch on the unit. Frankly I really like the unit, just the two items keep me from giving it 5 stars.
RMA Failed As Well
Pros: Should be a great drive. Western Digital's best in this class.
Cons: 2nd failure in a row. See my review about a week ago. Same indication fails Extended Diagnostic with too many bad sectors. Note: I have been a Western Digital user for at least a decade, can't say I would believe this if it weren't happening to me. .
Overall Review: Drive arrived on time and packed nicely with WD black end caps and in a sealed anti-static bag, but the delay of having to send back the first drive, wait for Newegg to check it, and then ship another drive out has me seriously late with my customer. Now the replacement is bad, I am RMA'ing it to Western Digital on advanced replacement to try and shave some time, as well as get a known tested drive. Newegg this will be 20 dollars in shipping fees plus aggravation, if you wish to make up some of that with a gift certificate it would be nice, you know my email address 8-)
