Great value headset!

Creative Labs 70GH020000000 Wireless Gaming Headset
Creative Labs 70GH020000000 Wireless Gaming Headset

Pros: *Very Affordable (I got them on sale for $200) *THX Software is excellent - configure your sound just right *Able to connect to PC/XBOX simultaneously! *Excellent battery life * Very comfortable for long periods of time (3 hrs +) * Very sexy looking * Bass is actually noticeable!

Cons: * No stand included! * Instructions are very limited * Plastic materials feel somewhat fragile * Still requires chat cable connected to controller for XBOX live chat

Overall Review: I was waiting/hoping for Tritton/Madcatz to finally release their Warhead set. I got tired of the delays... This was definitely worth purchasing!

Awesome Upgrade

ONKYO HT-RC260 7.2-Channel Home Theater Receiver
ONKYO HT-RC260 7.2-Channel Home Theater Receiver

Pros: Supports all the latest codecs + 3D. Should be future proof for quite some time. It also has excellent build quality and is easy to set up with on screen display and easily to follow manual (no, seriously!). Coming from a 2002 Sony receiver from a HTIB this is like a new world of quality/ clarity. I'm currently using my XBOX, U-verse, and Boxee Box as inputs and the output goes to my 720p Mitsubishi HD1000u projector. I have not seen a single hicup sound wise and the video is much sharper. With my old Sony receiver I would have lots of audio issues in particular with my U-verse via an optical cable. That problem has vanished with HDMI on this receiver. For the price I don't believe there is another receiver than can match the value of this one. I looked at the 608, but decided that this deal ($300 on sale) was too good to pass up.

Cons: I wish the remote was back-lit. It's very hard to see in the dark. It would also be nice if they included banana plugs as they are quite expensive. When changing channels on U-verse there is a slight clicking noise as it re-establishes the signal. It's a minor annoyance but it was not present on my previous receiver. Some people have complained about the audio return pass through not working. This is something I won't use because I will always have my receiver on for audio since I use a projector.

Overall Review: I would recommend this receiver to anyone on a tight budget that doesn't want to sacrifice a lot of quality. You can set this baby up as a 5.1, 7.1, or even 9.1. Actually you can also add a second active sub woofer as well. The sound is very clear and there are a lot of options for tweaking including the set up mic they include. Very happy with purchase thus far

Bluetooth music rocks

Pros: installed on win 7 ultimate using included drivers disc with toshiba stack. Works awesome! Now using my wireless headphones/headset for my android phone on my computer when I need to move around the house. Great range and clarity. Very low profile!

Cons: Not really a con, but don't loose the included mini cd or you might have a hard time when you move it to another computer.

Excellent choice

IOGEAR GKM561R Black 2.4GHz Wireless HTPC Multimedia Keyboard with Laser Trackball and Scroll Wheel
IOGEAR GKM561R Black 2.4GHz Wireless HTPC Multimedia Keyboard with Laser Trackball and Scroll Wheel

Pros: Good construction, very easy to set up (plug n play in 30 secs or less), mouse works really well. Got it for $24.99 with MIR so at that price it was a steal.

Cons: Wish that the keyboard was back-lit. Would also like to see a place on the keyboard to store the dongle.

Overall Review: I bought this for when I need a quick keyboard/mouse for onsite troubleshooting/ repairs, but I'm sure I will also end up using it for HTPC. Works great, recommend to anyone who wants a quick wireless solution
