Most Favorable Review

Nice choice

G.SKILL TridentX Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3 2133 (PC3 17000) Desktop Memory Model F3-2133C9D-16GTX
G.SKILL TridentX Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3 2133 (PC3 17000) Desktop Memory Model F3-2133C9D-16GTX

Pros: Sleek design, fast speed, and reasonably priced. For those of you who own a ASRock Extreme6 motherboard, let me put your concerns to rest: It works great with it.

Cons: None to date

Overall Review: I have come to trust this brand. I owned (OC) memory before from G Skill and have not had any issues with ANY of the products I have purchased. Since I haven't had any issues, I cannot speak of customer service, RMA process, etc. This particular time, I got a great deal applying a promo code to an already reduced price.

SHORT shelf life

Chrome Pro Series 1.5V 60 AA - 40 AAA Alkaline Batteries Combo Pack
Chrome Pro Series 1.5V 60 AA - 40 AAA Alkaline Batteries Combo Pack

Pros: Cheap

Cons: CHEAP - if you know what I mean. The review title is self-explanatory

Overall Review: I purchased these batteries a little under one year ago (on December 25, 2013 to be exact). I used about half of them within the first few months (I have tons of junk that require AA or AAA batteries. However, around mid September I needed to replace some and found some dead batteries in the plastic tray they came in. At first, I thought maybe my son had placed used batteries there. I didn't think much of it until last week. I basically discarded the rest of the batteries because they were virtually dead. I gave it one egg because I could not give it zero. Stay away from this brand.

Mixed emotions about it

Blue Snowball iCE USB Mic - White
Blue Snowball iCE USB Mic - White

Pros: -The microphone unit itself is very well built. I read a review that stated that the glossy finish makes it look like a toy. That might be true, but I personally like the finish. -The recording quality is very good. It has very good noise reduction for a microphone under $50.00 ($49.99 purchase price)

Cons: -The tripod that came with it is PLASTIC. And there is nothing "sturdy" about it. Not the kind of quality I would expect from a "professional" desktop mic. In fact, the threads started to wear off a bit as I was trying to screw the tripod into the microphone. But that's not all. It was going in crooked. Thinking it was me, I gave it to a coworker, who had a older model (which was way better, by the way) and he was struggling screwing it right. It took me a long while and several attempts to get it in right. Needless to say, I won't be messing with it very much. The legs themselves look like they are about to break any time soon. In fact, I am sure it would not survive a drop test from my desk if it lands upright. The mic is very heavy and the tripod too flimsy. I am sure that I can snap the legs off with little effort if I wanted to. To say the tripod looks like a cheap toy, it is a HUGE understatement

Overall Review: If you are going to use in an office where no kids or pets are allowed, you should be fine. If you let your dog or cat jump on your desk and roam around your office, you will have a functional mic with no tripod before you know it. The cheap tripod is a huge turn-off for me; which is why I gave it 3-stars. Someone left a review about the mic's three settings. I am sure that is a better model. This doesn't have the 3-setting switch in the back. My coworker has that model, and his also have a metallic tripod. That was the one I wanted to get. I made the mistake of not reading carefully the specs and the reviews. One reviewer mentioned the issue with the tripod. I would've bought the next best model should I've known that.

Excellent product

Turtle Beach Ear Force XO Seven - Premium Xbox One Gaming Headset
Turtle Beach Ear Force XO Seven - Premium Xbox One Gaming Headset

Pros: Everything Turtle Beach headphones are known for, minus full price for new item

Cons: None

Overall Review: This is not my first rodeo purchasing refurbish products. I have purchased laptops, cellphones, and all sorts of electronic devices that have been refurbished. Sometimes refurbished products don't come in "original" packaging boxes, but I don't care about that. My experience has been very positive when purchasing refurbished products, and this was not the exception. I don't say your experience is going to be great 100% of the time, but the same can be said of new products. In fact, on Black Friday I purchased a brand-new Samsung Home Theater system that I had to return about a month later because it stopped working. Going back to this purchase, I was able to save considerable money (about $40.00) for a headset that, once out of the box, you could not tell it was refurbished. Unless you think that the original cardboard box is worth $40.00, then I think this product is for you. I paid $89.99 for this item, and it is back up to $99.99. A new set goes for approximately $129.99. So, even at $99.99, I think it worth the buy. I purchased this item from Focus Camera. The seller was great. I think I selected 5-7 days (Ground) and I got the item in 4 days (shipped on 01/05 and got it on 01/09). I cannot stress it more, it was a great purchase all around.

Great buy for the price

SUPCASE Samsung Galaxy S5 Case - Unicorn Beetle PRO Series Full-body Hybrid Protective Case with Built-in Screen Protector (Black/Black), Dual Layer Design/Impact Resistant Bumper Prime
SUPCASE Samsung Galaxy S5 Case - Unicorn Beetle PRO Series Full-body Hybrid Protective Case with Built-in Screen Protector (Black/Black), Dual Layer Design/Impact Resistant Bumper Prime

Pros: Sturdy

Cons: Hard to take apart, which could be consider a "pro" instead of a "con".

Overall Review: I have had numerous Otter Box protective cases. This is as sturdy as the Otter Box, but cheaper in price.

You get what you pay for

Samsung HM1300 Handsfree Bluetooth Headset (Black) - Retail
Samsung HM1300 Handsfree Bluetooth Headset (Black) - Retail

Pros: Cheap (monetary)

Cons: Cheap (quality)

Overall Review: After a few months of usage, the audio level has decreased significantly. At full volume, I can barely hear a conversation. I am actually considering buying another set because this one is not really usable anymore. Considering what I paid for it, I can put up with it enough to where I don't totally hate it, which is why I gave it two eggs and not one.

Great item at a great value

I have purchased 4 of these wall-mount units to date, purchased in 3 separate purchases. I haven't had a single issue with any of them. Delivery was prompt on every purchase and items got here a day earlier than expected more than once (if not all of them). Based on my experience, I will continue doing business with this vendor and I will continue buying from this manufacturer. The wall-mount itself is easy to install even for a novice like me. The instructions are very clear. I also like the fact that I have a lot of flexibility when it comes to how the TV itself is positioned. The base swings and tilts, and the arm makes it possible to position the TV in an angle. This was great for one of my TVs which was installed over a desk near a corner. So, I was able to position the TV in a 45 degree angle and it appears as the unit was installed in the corner. The only tools you need are a drill, a phillips head bit (I think #2), a level (don't need to be big), and stud finder if you are installing it on drywall. I recommend mounting on the stud rather than using anchors. Installation should not take you longer than 10 minutes. Lastly, to give your installation a more professional look, buy a cable management system for TV wall-mount installations. I got one at Home Depot for less than $15.00. This is the one I got from them: (http://www.homedepot.com/p/Flat-Screen-TV-Cord-Cover-A31-KW/204412610). The wall-mount has some cable management system for the back of the TV. That said, for one of my wall-mounts I had to use plastic ties to keep the cover in place. I hope this review helps you.

Perfect buy

I was a bit skeptical at first because of the negative comments, but I have to admit, this was a great purchase. I purchased these for use at work. I use them every day, 8+ hours at a time, and have not had any issues with sound quality, comfort, workmanship, etc. They are still in one piece and they are still working. I am comparing this experience to a pair of Skullcandy headset I purchased a while back, which fell apart after a few months of usage, and I am starting to believe this purchase was actually a steal.... Could not be happier with my purchase. I strongly recommend them. Can't beat the price.
