Review for Sennheiser PMX70 - Sportline Stereo Neckband Headphones:
The only criticism i have is that you cant wear a top with a collar on it otherwise it pushes the band up and can make them uncomfortable, and also the noise that it makes when rubbing againt the collar travels through to the earphones and gets quite lound and annoying.

Review for Sennheiser PMX70 - Sportline Stereo Neckband Headphones:
Really impressed!
I bought these because my normal ear buds kept falling out as soon as i started to sweat, and i am so glad i did! These headphones, stay in place no matter how much you jump about, give great bass response and dont leak as much noise as you'd think. The cord clip holds the cable in place so it doesnt tug as you're running, and there is plenty of cbale to reach to your trouser pockets.The only criticism i have is that you cant wear a top with a collar on it otherwise it pushes the band up and can make them uncomfortable, and also the noise that it makes when rubbing againt the collar travels through to the earphones and gets quite lound and annoying.

Go to YourIpod.co.cc and sign up. Complete ONE offer - I would recommend Gala Bingo (you know, the one Sharon Osborne advertises for on tv),as this is cheap and fun (and you might win some money in the process!)
If you really don't want to spend, there is a free Lovefilm trial.
All companies are well known so there is no risk involved- give it a go! I got my iPod and many other things this way, so don't miss out.
I was a sceptic once but now I am SO glad I gave it a chance. B8C approved this system on their Newsnight programme a while back.

Review for PLB103M Universal 32-55" LCD/ Plasma TV Wall Mount Bracket Black w/ Tilt & Security Lock:
This is a tad lighter than the one supplied but still heavy and well up to the job with my 37". Easy to fit, though I did need different BA bolts - which I had anyway but are in all stores - and Panasonic are notoriously difficult to fit.
Tilts well and I am extremely happy. Having been supplied with a £100 bracket and looked at others close to £200 I was apprehensive about buying one so cheap but was persuaded by the excellent reviews. You should be too!

Top Value
Bought a 37" LCD Panasonic from Amazon which came with a non-tilting £100 bracket on offer. That didn't fit very well so returned it and bought this based on other reviews, having visited my local hi-fi stores and looked at brackets costing nearly £200.This is a tad lighter than the one supplied but still heavy and well up to the job with my 37".

Review for Kensington Si600 Wireless Presenter with Laser Pointer - Presentation remote control - radio:
Brilliantly simple!
I just wanted to be able to detach myself from the laptop whilst presenting to customers and teams, and this little gadget is perfect. Nothing fancy - just forwards, backwards and fade to black (plus a pointer) - but that's all you really need. It came very quickly, worked straight out of the box on any PC I plug it into (no software discs to load) and folds into itself for storage. Wish I'd got one ages ago! Highly recommended.31
Review for Black rubber case & screen protector Accessories for apple iPhone 3G:
I have to say that I pulled the screen protector off within a day as I thought it cheapened the look of the phone front and I still have no regrets about that a couple of weeks later. I have kept the outercase on though - I do feel that it offers good protection and I have dropped my phone once with absolutely no ill-effects (phew!), and it does make it better to hold too though unlike the earlier reviewer, I don't have a fetish about it :D
The supplier too deserves kudos as the kit arrived very quickly (next day in fact) so overall I am very pleased with this product.

Review for Black rubber case & screen protector Accessories for apple iPhone 3G:
Rubber for protection!
Well, an iPhone is an expensive product, it makes sense to invest in a little extra protection for it. This kit consists of a rubber outer layer that hugs the phone and has a 'grooved' wood-type effect design on the back, a screen protector sheet and a cleaning cloth so you can remove all the fingerprint marks before laying the protector on.I have to say that I pulled the screen protector off within a day as I thought it cheapened the look of the phone front and I still have no regrets about that a couple of weeks later.

Review for Pure VL-60923 ChargePAK C6L:
Once the product starts to loose its charge, it can run flat in a short space of time. I recon from three bars on the radio charge indicator to the radio ceasing to work was about 25mins. This can be a pain, so I now make sure that it is connected to the mains every couple of days...not a great problem, but buyers should be aware that the battery pack can loose its charge quickley, like its smaller re-chargeable battery brothers.

Review for Sennheiser PX200 Closed Mini Headphone:
there should be a"1" and"2" on the folding arms of the headphones to show you which to fold first;
the depth of the speakers, on real Sennheisers the actual speakers are thinner (1.5cm) on the fakes they are 2.0 cm. the cusions come off easily from the fakes and the hole in the middle is smaller (1.5 cm instead of 2.5cm diameter).
The main tell tale sign however is the price. If they are selling for £13.50 instead of £30 something then they are probably fake.

Review for PhilipsSHS8000/00 Earhook Headphones:
They come with 3 different sizes of rubber ear plugs; none of which stay in my ears. If they fit your ears I think they'd be great, but none of them stay in my ears longer than 2 mins when jogging.
I strongly recommend trying them before you buy them!

Review for LINX HDMI Cable - Premium 24K Gold Plated HDMI Lead For HD Ready TV's - 2.4 Metres:
Although these higher prices generally assure quality, two things are required in the build quality of HDMI's: Gold plating and robust cable covering. When these two things are covered the quality is mainly producer based.
I bought this cable, to begin with, for a Panasonic DVD recorder/VHS combi. The upscale quality was good at 576p. I have more recently purchased a Playstation 3, and decided to use this HDMI with it. I am happy to report that it worked, and has since, at 1080p, with a clear picture quality.
As with all products there will be faulty items, as shown by previous reviews. On the bright side, however, it seems that the faults are not over time and instant, allowing for refunds.
Great, good value product.

Review for SENNHEISER - CX 400 Headset - black:
Good sound, idiotic cable
The 400s were presumably created as an update/upgrade of the 300s. The one discernible change from an excellent product is not the sound or the fit, which I continue to love, but a completely stupid change to the cable. It comes with a short little cable which from personal experience is too short for: Ipod in trousers; Ipod in a jacket pocket; Ipod in an exercise armband; Ipod on the table in a plane, Ipod in a shoulder bag. In other words almost any way in which you would listen to an Ipod. So you can put on the 1 metre extension which flaps about, has a heavy connection plug, catches on things, gets hopelessly tangled up and is generally a complete pain. I agree with M Byrne. Stick to the CX300s.37

Review for Xbox 360 Wireless Headset (Xbox 360):
I`ve got a wireless headset for my mobile phone, which only cost about £12. Why can`t Microsoft not get a headset, costing nearly 3 times as much, to be reliable ? The unreliability of the XBOX360 itself is almost forgiveable, as it is a lot of hi-tech in a small box, but surely a company like Microsoft should be able to design a decent wireless headset.

Review for Xbox 360 Wireless Headset (Xbox 360):
Let`s get one thing clear.......
...... the wireless headset is NOT as clear as the wired one. I bought my first wireless headset, based on reports of better sound clarity and the convenience of no wires. BOTH (more of that in a moment) of my headsets haven`t sounded any clearer than the wired one. The reason I say both of my headsets is that I`m on my second one, the first one stopped charging after a few weeks of use. My second headset had just failed, with the same fault. My friend also bought a wireless headset at the same time as I bought my first one. His stopped charging about a week ago, at least he had a few months use before having to return it.I`ve got a wireless headset for my mobile phone, which only cost about £12.

Review for Icon - Premium Glass Stand For LCD & Plasma TV - Up to 50":
It's a complete piece of cake to assemble & should take no more that ten minutes with no tools required.
Finish of legs & glass is very good. True, there's no cable tidy facilities, but you can't have everything. I'm using a 32" LCD with it at the moment, but it definitely seems sturdy enough to take much bigger sets should you require. And for the price you can't go wrong. A recommended purchase.

Well it's tiny, weighs nothing and work perfectly as a remote. It also comes with a little pouch which goes on the strap so you've always got the remote to hand.
