Most Favorable Review

Great for the gym

JVC  HA-EB75 (Black)  Sports ear clip headphone
JVC HA-EB75 (Black) Sports ear clip headphone

Pros: Adjustable, comfortable, decent sound, and most importantly, they stay in my ear.

Cons: Sound quality isn't spectacular but you shouldn't expect 15$ headphones to sound amazing.

Overall Review: I needed a pair of headphones for the gym. I didn't want to get sweat on my nice pair and earbuds always fall out of my ears. These feel a little weird at first but once you get used to the way they fit, they are great. The sound quality isn't amazing but for a cheap pair of headphones you can throw in your gym bag, they're great!

Unreliable

Edimax EW-7722In 300Mbps 11n Wireless PCI adapter with 2 x 3dBi Detachable Antennas
Edimax EW-7722In 300Mbps 11n Wireless PCI adapter with 2 x 3dBi Detachable Antennas

Pros: When it's working correctly, the reception is great.

Cons: I've had a ton of problems with the card. It cuts out every now and again and takes several minutes to find the network again. It also locks up or slows down the I/O on my computer sometimes and the only way I've found to fix it is to reboot. The driver it comes with is outdated and the driver Windows automatically installs seems to do a much better job.

Overall Review: If you're just buying this card for casual web browsing then it may not be the end of the world, but it is extremely frustrating when it cuts out or lags I/O when gaming. I'm finally giving up on the card 4 months after buying it and switching to a more trusted brand.

Pros: It's sturdy and easy to mount and set up.

Cons: It puts big holes in the wall but what do you expect from a mount that can hold 165 lbs?

Reliable

Intel 730 Series 2.5" 240GB SATA 6Gb/s MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) SSDSC2BP240G4R5
Intel 730 Series 2.5" 240GB SATA 6Gb/s MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) SSDSC2BP240G4R5

Pros: I've had it for quite a while and haven't had any issues. It definitely isn't as fast as other SSDs but considering it was my first after coming from HDDs, I couldn't complain.

Cons: Could be faster I guess.

Overall Review: For the price, I would probably go with a different drive now but it was a great deal when I bought it.

Good mouse

UtechSmart US-D4000-GM High Precision Optical Gaming Mouse - 4000 DPI, 6 Programmable Buttons, Omron Micro Switches, 5 Profiles for PC, AVAGO ADNS-3050 Chipset
UtechSmart US-D4000-GM High Precision Optical Gaming Mouse - 4000 DPI, 6 Programmable Buttons, Omron Micro Switches, 5 Profiles for PC, AVAGO ADNS-3050 Chipset

Pros: This is a solid little mouse. The software to set up dpi, color, etc is simple and intuitive. I bought it since it was a cheap laser mouse I could use at work and I wasn't disappointed.

Cons: The silver finish rubs off pretty quickly and it's apparent the materials are cheap but what would you expect from an inexpensive mouse. Functionally it works just fine and the lights look nice.
