Very Nice Headphones
Pros: Comfortable, Rugged Build, Supurb Sound Quality, Solid Cord. Important! PLZ Note : I was about to return these, beacuse all I got was distorted sound when I played these thru my computer, using the EQ/Volume control switch. Um after about a 1/2 hour of trying to get them to work properly I found out YOU MUST have the computer Volume level DOWN at least below 1/2 way, better yet 1/4 and use the Volume control on the headphones, Vs the computer. If you have the EQ off then you can use the full extent of the Volume control on the computer, but they will have a limited Loudness. Apparrently the Built in EQ/Volume contol reduces the impedance to get the higher volume, and the source from the computer will come out scratchy, and Bass distorted if the computer Volume level is up too high. Like I said, Trial and error ;-)
Cons: The Right Side Volume control seems very Cheap, compared to the rest of the Heaphones. They Get heavy and Hot after a couple of hours of Use. But for around the 1 C Note Cost on sale, its Still a buy in my book just for the sound quality by itself
Overall Review: I have tried a lot of current headphones, and these fit the bill as the best yet !, for sound quality. They do bring me back to my older Audiophile days when all headphones were made for quailty, vs the latest lighter heaphones.
Works Well
Pros: Has pretty much everything You need for running many protocols for a small business CEPT, read below
Cons: This is the Version one, which was replaced by the Ver 2 in 2009! They had to change the N chip to meet standards for the newer Draft 2.0 N protocol, which was changed in 2009!. The newer N protocol gives you the much better range and a better connection. All other sites I read up on this model number never mentioned a Ver 1 router, so dumb me I assumed it was the Draft 2.0, since they all we reviewing that version all the way back to 2009, So just a heads up here. I have bought a lot of refurbs, but they always have been CURRENT Model refurbs, this is the first time I got a Model that is a 2+ year old refurb, (When they stopped making it), Oh well
Overall Review: It comes labeled linksys, NOT Cisco as in the picture. although linksys is a Cisco sub, it not the same support you get from a true Cisco product./
Excellent Quality
Pros: Professionally quality, superior quality
Cons: Not really a con, but cables are exceptionally long :)
OUCH!
Pros: Looks like it is a winner
Cons: Can not give it a 5 star though, because it is not only the product that counts, but it is supposed to get here without Newegg losing your order, and really has a no care attitude about it! It was for a friends B-Day present which was today, and it was supposed to be here on Wednesday, and now it has gone the way of the Newegg Black Hole, never to be found again!!!!!!, including with my money. Been using Newegg for 14 years!!, and this is a first! it just seems the company as a whole has really been slipping lately , and do not know why?
incompatabile With 990fx for RAID
Pros: Good value for running in ACHI
Cons: This WILL not run in raid on ANY 990FX Motherboards! One Company Blames the other, and crucial will not be introducing any new updates to fix this issue. They have know about this for months, just look at the forums!
Overall Review: Returning Both
Smoke Filled Computer
Pros: Did well when it worked
Cons: After owning this for less than 3 months, the pump caught fire and filled my room with smoke ! I checked the radiator and tank, and it was full of coolant, so that was not this issue! Shortly after the incident I replaced it a basic fan and contacted Cooler master, didn't have time to follow up with it, due to a stroke, which put me out of commission for over 6 months. ;-9 Now I am probably stuck with it.
Overall Review: DO NOT BUY!
