Rosewill RCW-561 - 3-Foot Cat 6 Network Cable - Black
Rosewill RCW-561 - 3-Foot Cat 6 Network Cable - Black

Pros: Cat 6 is great and the 3' length is just perfect in my application (much better than the 7' coil I was using). Several of these cleaned up the rat nest collecting dust behind my router.

Cons: Shipping kind of hurts.

Very good 7.1 sourround when using Razer Synapse. Works as stereo without. Mic and buttons work under both.

Razer Kraken 7.1 Chroma V2 USB Gaming Headset - 7.1 Surround Sound with Retractable Digital Microphone and Chroma Lighting
Razer Kraken 7.1 Chroma V2 USB Gaming Headset - 7.1 Surround Sound with Retractable Digital Microphone and Chroma Lighting

Pros: - very clear and crisp sound when using synapse and without - mic is sensitive enough that it pics up everything you are saying and doesn't have to be on your lips to do it - mic mute button is very convenient (light helps to show you when muted but isn't too bright) - 6ft USB cable allows plenty of length to sit where you need and never pull

Cons: - when not using synapse, the stereo almost seems too stereo at times - mic pics up some background noise (such as you breathing) when not using the synapse driver that adds the options to clean up the sound - mic is on a flexible cord that slides into one side. Seems sturdy but I wonder how long it will last - USB cable is covered in rough fabric that when sliding against your shirt makes a little noise (not really noticable when there is something playing)

Overall Review: - got my sister a set because I was so impressed she uses them as speakers when not gaming

Rosewill RCW-560 - 1-Foot Cat 6 Ethernet Cable / Network Cable - Black
Rosewill RCW-560 - 1-Foot Cat 6 Ethernet Cable / Network Cable - Black

Pros: Works just fine.

Cons: One foot is short! But was just the right length to go from the router to the switch sitting underneath. The release clip is a little hard to work because of the snagless cover, but is still OK to work with.

Pros: Installed on a barebones system with no problem. Runs just fine on a dual-core 1.6GHz Atom processor.

Cons: None really once UAC is disabled.

Pros: Does exactly what is is supposed to do. Been using this on my other systems for years.

Cons: Can be a little annoying with the pop-ups to re-subscribe, etc.

Sennheiser HD280 Pro Around the Ear DJ Headphones
Sennheiser HD280 Pro Around the Ear DJ Headphones

Pros: These are the best headphones that I have purchased, though they are may first high quality set. I wouldn't exchange them for anything. The sound is crisp and clear. They are fairly light weight (I have forgotten I had them on).

Cons: These are not for the bass enthusiast. There is not a lot of bass compared to other cheap headphone set I have owned. These were made for the professional audio engineer, not the average head-banger. Some tweaking with the equalizer in you audio software can fix this.

Overall Review: The first language in the instruction manual is actually German. This surprised me, though it shouldn't as they were made by a German company.
