Most Favorable Review

Best sound ever!

Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro 250 Ohm Reference headphones for control and monitoring purpose (closed)
Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro 250 Ohm Reference headphones for control and monitoring purpose (closed)

Pros: Comfortable because of the velour ear pads. I am a gamer and have worn these earphones for 4 hours straight with no discomfort. Makes my 1st person shooter games come alive. Also, I am a Blues fan and my favorite bands are just "alive" now; the soundstage is expansive.

Cons: I bought the 250 ohm model and this meant I had to buy an integrated DAC/amp. I have no problem with this. However, if you don't want to buy a DAC + Amp then purchase either the 32 ohm or the 80 ohm models.

Overall Review: I highly recommend these closed back Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro 250 ohm headphones.

Most Critical Review

Failed 2 weeks after warranty

Panasonic LUMIX DMC-ZS25S Silver 16.1 MP 20X Optical Zoom Digital Camera HDTV Output
Panasonic LUMIX DMC-ZS25S Silver 16.1 MP 20X Optical Zoom Digital Camera HDTV Output

Pros: Took great photos while it worked.

Cons: Failed two weeks after warranty expired. Appears that the sensor failed. Starting getting blurry round spot in center of photos. Took a two week trip in September of 2014 to the Rocky Mountains. Noticed on looking at the 3,000 photos I took that progressively the photos were blurry (center area) until my final shots were ALL blurry.

Overall Review: I've had to resort to using my Kodak bridge camera (Kodak Z990 Max) again. I had purchased the Lumix DMC-ZS25S to replace the Kodak as the Lumix is smaller. Now, I am leaning towards just using my cellphone camera. Very disappointed with Panasonic cameras!

Absolute JUNK

KINGSMAN KP800 M.2 NVMe PCIe Gen4x 4 2280 2TB Internal Solid-State Drive (SSD) / DRAM included / Works with PC and PS5 / R/W Up to 7,500/6,500 MB/s / 5-year limited warranty
KINGSMAN KP800 M.2 NVMe PCIe Gen4x 4 2280 2TB Internal Solid-State Drive (SSD) / DRAM included / Works with PC and PS5 / R/W Up to 7,500/6,500 MB/s / 5-year limited warranty

Pros: There are NO Pros. DO NOT BUY! I returned this SSD for a full refund.

Cons: All cons! The disk Genius app said this as summary, "Disk verify is complete. All 32 sectors are bad and could not be repaired." I downloaded and printed three pages listing bad sectors. The first one was at sector "0". I'm an engineer and I've been building gaming PCs since 1986. I've never received a bad disk drive in these 37 years. DO NOT BUY!

Overall Review: Junk; do not buy!

Met More Than My Expectationns

MSI Mech Radeon RX 6750 XT 12GB GDDR6 PCI Express 4.0 Graphics Card RX 6750 XT MECH 2X 12G OC
MSI Mech Radeon RX 6750 XT 12GB GDDR6 PCI Express 4.0 Graphics Card RX 6750 XT MECH 2X 12G OC

Pros: I'm now seeing better FPS than I was expecting, better color, better textures, no tearing and even though my screen is a 60 HZ 43 inch Samsung 4K TV I am playing games at 4K much better than I expected.

Cons: No cons!

Overall Review: I heartily recommend this MSI 6750 MECH video card!

Great Gaming CPU

AMD Ryzen 5 5600X - Ryzen 5 5000 Series Vermeer (Zen 3) 6-Core 3.7 GHz Socket AM4 65W None Integrated Graphics Desktop CPU Processor - 100-100000065BOX
AMD Ryzen 5 5600X - Ryzen 5 5000 Series Vermeer (Zen 3) 6-Core 3.7 GHz Socket AM4 65W None Integrated Graphics Desktop CPU Processor - 100-100000065BOX

Pros: I play at 1080p exclusively and this 5600X cpu is outperforming my old 3700X cpu, hands down.

Cons: There are no cons!

Overall Review: I heartily recommend the 5600X both for moderate content creation and for playing 1st person shooters.

2nd Purchase and a great value

OLOy OWL 32GB (2 x 16GB) 288-Pin PC RAM DDR4 3600 (PC4 28800) Desktop Memory Model MD4U1636181CHKDA
OLOy OWL 32GB (2 x 16GB) 288-Pin PC RAM DDR4 3600 (PC4 28800) Desktop Memory Model MD4U1636181CHKDA

Pros: Timing is OK. I don't notice anything negative on playing Doom Eternal or playing any of the five titles of the Fallout series. On using Microsoft Office there is no perceptible difference between this RAM and other RAM with tighter timings.

Cons: There are no cons IMO.

Overall Review: Given the price for 32GB of RAM buying this RAM should be OK for most folks.
