JVC HA-RX300 Headphone

Pros: These "cans" are about what I expected from JVC, Good sound reproduction with excellent bass, and a pretty sturdy build with over the ear cans that are comfortable for long term use. They compare well with my Creative Fatal1ty gaming headphones with somewhat better bass and are much better for music or gaming than my Sennheiser HD-280 Professional headphones
Cons: None as of yet, and I have "tested" them pretty thoroughly.
Overall Review: I was able to get them from newegg during a special for $13.93 (a steal) so I gave them 5 eggs, all you techies, subscribe to their e-blasts!
Tuneup Utilities (beware)

Pros: Did a pretty good job with cleaning up the registry, (maybe too good) There does seem to be some minimal speed increase in the boot up.
Cons: This thing wiped my OS so well that Win XP could not see My Nvidia GPU nor my Mp3 player, and it has messed with some of my older games installed. I am still working to get the Mp-3 back up and figure out what this thing did to my registry!
Overall Review: Other problems as well, I decided to uninstall it till I find out what happened. I had been manually defragging and maintaining my rig for some years with NO issues previous to trying Tuneup.
nice add on to a problematic laptop, but Meh.

Pros: supposedly free
Cons: Does not have any of the standard feature of a decent headset. No Microphone? Really?
Overall Review: Nah!
Very good laptop hijacked by Steel Series keyboard

Pros: Runs all the latest games as a $3000.00+ laptop is supposed to.
Cons: I cannot change the keyboard lighting, nor the hideous "Lightbar" that is both unneeded and distracting. None of the so called fixes I have found online work, and I am getting sick and tired of having to "configure" these new laptops by msi. If I cannot find a workaround I will be sending it back.
Overall Review: No, I would not recommend any of these msi laptops anymore, and I was a long time msi fan, but they have been compromised.
Questionable hardware right out of the box

Pros: This is my 3rd, and my last Msi laptop ever. It worked well for about 3 weeks, but I noticed that it runs HOT (don't put it on your lap) and the fans will start screaming so loud I can hear them through my headphones when I am playing. I think it is a hard drive issue but with the high temperatures and other things this laptop is doing it is hard to tell. I may RMA this one and then I am done with Msi. Lousy hardware and a joke of an OS with the "New" Windows 11 spyware and the machine is ruined.
Cons: Better quality more reliable hardware for the high prices for these laptops and a return policy that does not soak the consumer would be a good start. Then a good coordinate service staff at Msi.
Overall Review: No way. Msi was good years ago, but judging by the last 3 laptops - each which lasted only around a year and a half!! - They are no longer worthy of being trusted especially with the return/repair policy of charging the customer for shipping even when their hardware is the issue!!?
I Hate this board

Pros: It's Pretty
Cons: I made a mistake ordering this keyboard because I have big hands and I am used to the other style where the keys don't stick out on the board. The keys are way too sensitive as well because when I even touch one the other keys it activates, ruining my work. The cap lock is the worse one for me. I hate these big keys that sit on top of the board like this, and the software does not have a option for a solid rainbow pattern that I have found yet only the "pulse" which blows. As it is, I will either give it away or keep it for a spare because if I keep trying to use it, I will wind up smashing it one of these days.:)
Overall Review: Only if you like this style, but even then there are better boards out there.
db Logic EP-100 earbud
I wanted to return for refund a defective and unsatisfactory pair of earbuds. When I contacted World Wide Stereo just over 30 days, the response was immediate and hassle free. I intend to save this seller for future purchase, and highly recommend them.
