Great product

Pros: Sounds great, very comfortable, no static or interference, collapse and fold up. Mic is very clear.
Cons: No inline volume control.
Overall Review: Having gone through quite a few sets of gaming headphones varying between Creative, Altec Lansing, Plantronics etc. these are by far the best headphones I've ever used. They have good bass, perhaps a tad boomy but they sound great otherwise. I bought a set for my g/f based on reviews for xmas and then immediately ordered another pair for myself after trying them. They sound fantastic in gaming. They are easily on par with my 2.1 Creative Labs system for music listening.
Plug and Play

Pros: Works from both Windows 8 and Mac OS X just fine with no configuration needed.
Cons: None.
Overall Review: I bought this so I could manage a headless server I built via the serial port from a laptop. It beats having to get out an extra monitor and keyboard if I need to access BIOS settings or troubleshoot a boot issue.
Great cooling.

Pros: Excellent cooling. 2500k idles at 28C and loads at 45C with an a poor mount on my part. I used wrong screws in motherboard had to remount and didn't reapply paste. Smaller than the average air cooler.
Cons: The manual is thin. It only includes pictorial instructions on installation. I feel like the instructions could have been more clear on which set of screws go in to the motherboard around the socket.
Overall Review: I read a lot of reviews and forum posts about this cooler making grinding noises. I apparently got a good one as mine is very quiet. I ordered anyway despite what I had read because many had success getting rid of the noise by slightly reducing the pump RPM with BIOS fan controls or 3rd party fan controllers. Fits very nicely in my mATX setup. I have the radiator mounted with the fan in a pull configuration on the back of the case (Fractal Design Arc Mini).
Excellent price:performance

Pros: Price. Sound fidelity impressed me when I listened to it for the first time (256Kbps mp3), even on the stock earbuds. It will by no means blow you away, but it was better than I expected for what this jewel cost. It sounds as good as onboard Realtek sound (non HD). Menu options are thin, but to the point. Some playlist features, rating ,etc. I just put it on shuffle and let it go. Sync's with WMP on Vista right out of the box, also Explorer accessable no special software needed.
Cons: Earbuds that come with it are cheap, pitch em if your serious music listener. Only plays MP3, WMA, WAV and the audio book format.
Overall Review: The limited formats are somewhat offset by the fact that its only a 2GB player. Not really gonna be listening to FLAC other lossless audio with so little space. Vorbis would have been nice though, but can't have everything I suppose. I'd say best in class MP3 player, certainly doesn't compete with the newer iPods or MP3/MP4 players but then again it doesn't cost an arm and a leg either it's also tiny.
2nd Hauppauge product

Pros: ClearQAM tuning, OTA HD, and standard analogue cable. FM is a kicker but I don't use it much. Control is nicer than standard microsoft one for XP media center.
Cons: can't use ant and cable at the same time, its one or the other.
Overall Review: I hooked up a cheap pair of rabbit ears to pull down OTA HD, works like a charm. This is my second hauppauge product and it works great.
Cables are cables

Pros: Works as advertised. Not to much to cables.
Cons: It was not free?
Overall Review: Its a cable that carries a digital signal, it either works or it doesn't. I have this hooked up to my Sharp Aquos 42D64U from the HDMI output on my 780G motherboard. Works at 1920x1080 just fine.
