Best Ear Buds I Have Ever owned
Pros: Comfortable, good reproduction of highs, deep bass, no distortion at high volume, did I mention they were comfortable.
Cons: Chord design a little weird; the right side is on such a longer chord, wish both sides were just simply equal length.
Overall Review: I needed something to replace my i-Pod ear buds. They have good sound but kill my ears after a little while. After multiple earbuds by various manufacturers, I came across a set of these. They blew everything else away. I was finally able to crank up the bass on the mp3 player without any distortion and the reproduction of highs is excellent. I can have them in for as long as I want without any discomfort. I have other similar style earbuds, but for some reason, just not as comfortable. I highly recommend these for someone looking for quality sound reproduction and deep bass.
Buy Logitech S-220 instead
Pros: Cheap, sound is ok. 3 eggs because they were inexpensive, space saving and have good magnetic shielding.
Cons: Exposed cones on the satellites and exposed subwoofer speaker on bottom of the sub. Distorts at high volume, mids and highs lack range and not very loud as you have to crank the volume to max on MP3 players and computers.
Overall Review: I was disappointed by the sound quality after rocking the Logitech S-220 for so long. These are now in my bathroom. Honestly, for the same amount of money, purchase the Logitech S-220 as they sound much better, crisper mids and highs, deeper bass, louder with no distortion, closed speaker cones, smaller and stronger sub-woofer module.
More flexible than other brands, but still fights staying in place requiring constant placement.
Pros: I have some other lights that are very similar, the difference is that these Phanteks were more flexible. As you can tell from the pictures, they look great. Lastly, the price was a no brainer, these must have been on clearance or something but it would have been a crime not to buy a few packs.
Cons: The other, more rigid brand I mentioned; well, after several years, they are still in the same place I put them. These Phanteks; however, need to be re-adjusted back into their positions nearly every week. You better have a roll of your own double-sided sticky tape because the included tape does not hold after a week or so.
Overall Review: These types of lights suffer with the diffuser being too thick and not very flexible. I haven't had yellowing issues in my other brand, but have not had these Phanteks long enough to notice. I really hope they are phasing these types of lights out for much thinner versions that don't require industrial double-sided super tape to stay in place.
A MUST HAVE for your vehicle and piece of mind.
Pros: Small, portable, can jump a ton of cars before needing to be recharged, it was on sale and I was skeptical at first and when I first used it, I went straight back online but they weren't on sale anymore. It has more cranking amps than a buddy's jump starter three times the size and twice the retail price.
Cons: The jump cables from the device to the battery is short and can be a few inches longer.
Overall Review: I have multiple vehicles and wish I would have bought several more to keep inside the trunk of each. They are a life saver and starts your car in a fraction of the time it takes to slap a battery charger on that requires you to plug it in to an outlet which means you have to unravel an extension cord. It's small, powerful and can start your car a ton of times before needing to recharge it. That also includes starting your car that has a bad battery. The TX deep freeze event had ruined several of my vehicle batteries, but this device enabled me to start each vehicle up so I can move them, drive them to the auto parts store for a new battery, start my neighbors truck that was dead, mu buddies truck when he left his lights on - this is a must have for anyone.
Not flashy but functional.
Pros: Worked out of the box - threw a slight OC on it (3333). Ran Memtest overnight - no issues. Can't beat the price to performance ratio.
Cons: When I say slight OC, because anything else will blue screen - so not meant for really over clocking, but works out of the box at stated speeds. No heatspreaders, just stickers. Don't think that'll be an issue with video editing and a cool case anyway.
Overall Review: Converted an older gaming rig to a work station for video editing (after building a new gaming rig). MSI X370 Carbon Pro (with latest BIOS update), Ryzen 7 1700X w/ stock AMD Wraith Spire cooler, MSI Armor Pro GTX 1060 6GB, 500GB SSD, 4TB HDD, plenty of cooling. Previously had 4x8GB G.Skill Flare X 2400 - OC'ed to the max. Just 2 sticks of the new Aegis outperformed the previous RAM and scored higher on the selected benchmarks I used. Seriously considering building a new work-based computer and buying two more sticks to have 64GB RAM total on a R7 3700x or 3900X - but waiting on new gen of AMD GPU's - 5900XT? Who knows, but the RAM works great for the machine it's in now.
Unplug then Plug
Pros: When connected, it works great. Plenty of speed with plenty of signal strength well away from the wireless router provided by AT&T. The small form factor isn't the issue in this case, it's the chipset. Other brands in the mini form factor work great.
Cons: I though it was simply dropping the connection; nope, it was as if it shut down loosing all wireless networks in range, then it'll pick up a few obscure ones but not yours, which is usually the strongest. Hence, unplug and plug - then viola - it finds your network and automatically connects to it. It's pretty frustrating when you're wondering why it's taking so long to load a page when you find that the connection had just vanished. I can't imagine a customer's computer I upgraded with this wireless device...yes I can - because they called me at one in the morning. I told them to unplug it, then plug it back in - viola. Then I told him to bring it to me in the morning so I can give them a different one.
Overall Review: After reading other reviews, I realized this is a common problem for these Rosewill items. I have a few others like Airlink and some other off brand that are in the same mini form factor and they work perfect, never loosing a connection. Unfortunately, I cannot use this Rosewill when setting up a customer's computer, too unreliable. I can barely tolerate it myself let alone a non-computer crazed person who expects it to just work, then calls you in the middle of the night saying their Internet's broken. I was skeptical of the small form factor, so I purchased a lot of Airlink mini adapters. I was impressed. So when I saw these on sale I assumed they simply used the same chip set. If they do, they're deffective. I forgive Rosewill since this is the first time their product has let me down, they generally have really good stuff at reasonable prices. But if you're looking for a mini form factor, get an Airlink - they are flawless.
So good my daughter claimed it as her own.
I have gone thought about 8-10 different mechanical keyboards, red keys, blue keys, brown keys, Red keys with silencers, etc, and this keyboard blew them all away quality wise. Not only is it extremely quiet, it doesn't have the spongy feeling that quiet keyboards have or that silencers often cause, but still had the snappy mechanical feel a quality mechanical keyboard should. It's also a tank, very heavy so it's not sliding around on any desk. My daughter gave it a rowe and declared that it should be her next keyboard. She had gone through multiple blue and red keys. I should also mention that the wheel is very functional. I have other keyboards with wheels that are not as functional and more a waste of potential. I finally gave in after her constant pleading and now using a much more inferior red key with one of those wasted potential wheels, about to switch to a brown. I figured I can just get another one and to my dismay, they were no longer on sale. But still considering one at regular price. We'll see how the brown keys work out. My only compliant is that the height of they keyboard is slightly higher than normal in the front so it throws off my typing. I used it for several days and just couldn't get used to it being slightly raised above my wrist rest finding myself having to raise my wrists off the rest in order to type without mistyping. If it was the standard height as every other keyboard, it would be perfect and I wouldn't hesitate to buy another at full price.
New Viewing Experience for Gaming and Productivity.
I would definitely recommend this monitor, especially for the price, it gives a new gaming experience with games filling in the entire monitor and giving you a new aspect ratio to play in. The only drawback is that it chops your standard screen backgrounds down to size to fit the new aspect ratio. Plus, the 30" ultra wide has the same height as the 24" standard wide screen so it works nice, I was afraid it would be thinner than the 24" 2nd monitor and look strange but nope, they match up perfectly - vertically that is. It replaced an old HP Omen 24" gaming monitor, takes up the same footprint vertically so it's just horizontally wider. I'm thinking of getting a few more to maybe replace two of my multi monitor set ups that have three standard 24" widescreen monitors across by simply having maybe 2 of these ultra wide monitors instead, they will take up almost the same space overall (55" across with two ultra wides vs 63" across with three 24" standard wides).
Shipping from China - Avoid at all cost as small print says it can take 8-30 business day.
I neglected to look at the fine print as it was what I had feared, ridiculously long shipping periods, in this case 8-30 business days. In my case, the item said it was "In Transit" according to My Orders page, but a look at the tracking number shows the seller never shipped the item even after 40 days. I canceled the order as the item was never shipped, but got a return label created for me in my e-mail instead of a refund. I communicated to the seller exactly what I was doing, so why I was sent a return label for an item I never received confused me. That's when I went directly to Newegg's customer support and they took care of it in just a few minutes. I generally try to stick to US sellers only just because of these issues, even if the US seller is purchasing from overseas, at least they take the risk of these shipping issues.
