AKG Acoustics K240 Monitoring Headphones Review

---

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I received a pair of these as a gift about 18 years ago, and they are fabulous. I finally had to replace them this year because the cord near the jack was having issues and I could only hear one ear. The headset is in excellent shape and should work fine once I replace the jack end of the cord. The new one has a flexible, rubber covering over the area where the cord connects to the jack, so it should not develop the same problem. Here is what I like about them.

COMFORT. The earpieces are padded and sit on your head, not your ears. I share an office so I wear them all day long, and I have never had any problems with comfort (most regular headphones give me a headache or earache after a while). Since they are semi-closed, they breathe a little, so my ears do not get hot. The headband is attached with elastic pieces so there is no adjusting - just put them on and they fit. The cord comes out of the left earpiece, so there is no annoying "Y" under your chin.

SOUND LEAKAGE. My office mate cannot hear my music at all (although I don't listen to music loudly). It blocks enough external noise to help me concentrate, but I can still hear what's going on around me and carry on a conversation while wearing them. (They may leak more sound if you have a heavy beard or sideburns.)

SOUND QUALITY. The quality is amazing. I have read that it is very hard to get good quality sound with closed headphones, so the semi-closed are a good balance between quality sound and preventing sound leakage. I listen to them plugged into my computer speakers, and sometimes I have to skip a song because the non-music noises are so clear (lip smacking, breathing, guitar string squeaks, chimes, etc.).

SUMMARY: Extremely comfortable, quality construction and quality sound

Sony DEJ611 Portable CD Player - Silver Review

---

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The D-EJ611 portable CD player is one of the most satisfying products I have ever purchased from Sony. I use portables on a daily basis in the gym, when riding bicycle (safety aside) and at home while cleaning.
The Sony is virtually skip-free (even on the stairmaster!) because it has a digitally based system that has 10 times faster shock recovery than conventional systems. It also does not eat up batteries - unlike some portables I have owned.
Another outstanding feature is its ability to read "home made" CDs like MP3 to WAV conversions. The sound quality is good and the unit offers nine playback modes with repeat of tracks or disc, shuffle, 64-track random programming, and resume play. Unbelievable for such a small package.
I have even come to appreciate the automatic volume limiter system which maintains volume output at levels below distortion (though I would prefer to let distortion be my choice - not Sonys)
Finally, the player comes with an AC adapter, stereo headphones, a hand strap and a line out feature for connection to a receiver or pre-amp. It really is a quality unit for the money and offers a lot of unexpected features. Kudos to Sony.

Sony WM-FS222 S2 Sports Walkman Stereo Cassette Player with FM/AM/TV and Weather Radio Review

---

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This Sony portable cassette tape player is well designed and ruggedly constructed. Unfortunately, its sound quality leaves a great deal to be desired. First of all, I was unhappy with the headphones which delivered a somewhat thin and 'tinny' reproduction of the music I sampled over the three weeks I tested this walkman (which I finally returned for credit). Also, at relatively low volumes I was surprised to encounter unacceptable levels of distortion during playback. I recently purchased a Sony Psych CD Walkman model D-EJ360 which, by comparison, is so far superior in its sound quality to the Sony WM-FS222 S2 Sports Cassette Walkman under review that it became literally impossible for me to listen to the tape player without feeling irritated and aggrieved (thus the necessity to return it!). Two other disappointing features of this S2 product bear mentioning. The included "belt clip" is NOT a rigid plastic fixture of the player case itself but rather an addition to the flexible strap used for holding the walkman by hand. It therefore does not provide a secure attachment for vigorous walking or running. And there is no auto-reverse functionality. Which seems a significant lack given the price of the item. Finally, having submitted a meticulously documented rebate claim for a Sony t-shirt upon receiving this walkman, I was notified that I was ineligible for my gift as I had failed to provide the requisite UPC code and sales receipt. A sad ending to a thoroughly frustrating experience with a company I have come to expect so much more from.

Product Description:
CDs are wonderful, but most people still have boxes of cassettes full of great music, much of it not out--or not owned--on CD. Sony's WM-FS222 S2 Sports Walkman stereo cassette player lets you relive your cassette music when on the go. Its rugged, ergonomic S2 Sports design includes durability, controls placed for easy access, high style, and drift-free, digitally synthesized FM stereo--as well as wideband AM, TV (channels 2 to 13), and weather band (channels 1 to 7) reception.
An action grip with reflective cushion provides comfort and safety, while an included belt clip lets you wear the Walkman, freeing hands for other activities. The player's water-resistant seals help keep out water, moisture, and dirt, and a battery-level indicator on the unit's LCD lets you know when you're running low.
The player's automatic volume limiter system (AVLS) maintains an even volume level, guarding against unintended level increases and evening the output of musical passages that vary widely in level. Mega Bass produces deep, rich bass tones. Finally, an anti-rolling mechanism maintains stable tape speed to minimize music-distorting "wow and flutter" while the player is in motion.
For the radio, 40-station preset tuning offers one-button tuning to your choice of seven TV stations, four weather-band stations, 24 FM stations, and five AM stations. An FM local/distant (DX) switch improves reception of fuzzy stations. A single AA battery provides up to 32 hours (maximum) of continuous tape playback, or up to 50 hours of FM radio reception.

Sony Psyc CD Walkman Portable Compact Disc Player With Tuner - Blue Finish - DFJ040PSBLU Review

---

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)It works. The volume doesn't have enough range for me, but it's OK.

This product is better suited for chldren: it's made of blue plastic and is a little cheesey looking; it's a bit hard to handle; it has no fastener for a belt so you'd better have huge pockets if you're going anywhere with it and its function buttons are so small and camoflaged most adults I know will have problems running it.

Earphones are better than I thought they'd be and it does do its job rather well, but kids/some teens will like this far more than adults.

COBY MP-C941 MP3 Player w/20 GB HDD & FM Radio Review

---

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)First, for those who only read the first line, if you are not a patient person with electronics and computers, then this unit is not for you.But if you can navigate computers well, and can easily troubleshoot computers, then this is a very good unit for you.

The price of this unit is dropping like hotcakes.I got this for $100 bucks brand new from a chain store. Very good value.20gb of storage, and easy to load and use, once you figure out all of the fuctions.It transfers files fast, and you can create sub folders on the root directory to get nice and orderly.the menu functions are easy to navigate, and the settings are easy as well.large, well lit display showing the names of the music clearly.Fast transfer as well.I had no luck with windows media player playlists, but at least the customer support was very good about responding to all my questions.Windows media just would not "sync" with this unit, or recognize it was there to make a playlist to.I did find that musicmatch playlists work for this unit. You have to create a playlist from files on the unit itself, then save it, then pull the actual playlist file by drag and drop over to the unit into the playlist folder, and boom it works. Overall, the value and functionality of the unit outweight the time it took to learn how to maximize the utillity from it.Good buy if you get it for the price I did.This model will soon be obsolete, and is quickly being discontinued soon due to new models coming out.
FYI here are the specs:

Product Description:
Versatility is the defining feature of the Coby MP-C941. Boasting a robust 20 GB hard drive, the unit functions as both a portable MP3/WMA player that lets you enjoy your favorite tunes away from home and a USB-compatible storage drive for your pictures, documents, and other files. The dual roles make the MP-C941 a great fit for music fans and business travelers alike, as it's not only fun to use and compact, but it's also plug-and-play ready, letting you connect to any PC or Mac equipped with a speedy USB 2.0 port. Whether you need a soundtrack for your cross-country plane trip or a photo storage device to complement your digital camera's skimpy memory card, the MP-C941 fills the role.
When used as an MP3 player, the device stores up to 5,000 songs, with a backlit LCD screen that displays the song title, album, and artist information. Listeners can also navigate to other titles or artists using the small thumbstick in the center and the intuitive interface. As an added bonus, the device includes a series of preset digital equalizers (normal, classic, rock, jazz, and pop), which customize the audio to meet your musical preferences. And perhaps most conveniently, the MP-C941 is notably compact, so you can easily store it in a jacket pocket or purse.
The device isn't restricted to MP3 and WMA playback, however. It also includes a built-in FM tuner for listening to your favorite commercial music or NPR stations, along with an integrated voice recorder that's great for capturing voice memos, grocery lists, interviews, song ideas, and more. Plus, the MP-C941 can encode MP3s in real time without connecting to a PC. Additional features include a rechargeable lithium-polymer battery that runs for up to 12 hours on a single charge, upgradeable firmware for increased PC and Mac compatibility, and professional neckband stereo headphones that ensure a quality listening experience.

Noise Canceling Ear-clip Style Headphone Review

---

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This headphone does not conform well to the shape of my ear so they do very little to block or reduce background noise.They are very uncomfortable to wear for any length of time.The volume level is way too low, requiring me to crank either of my MP3 players to near max to hear audiobooks in a car or on a bus.

I do NOT recommend this headset.If you like ear-clip headphones, stay with the ones you have."Upgrading" to these is not worth the price as the performance and "Noise Cancelling" is worse than my standard ear-clip headphone.

Sony D-NE320PSWHI Psyc MP3/ATRAC CD Walkman (Electric White) Review

---

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Even though I love my Sony NW-HD3 20GB MP3 player, when I listen to my beloved classical music collection, I still much prefer CDs, since when it comes to sound quality, MP3 simply cannot match the original CD recording.This Sony CD player is great for classical music (as well as jazz and vocals, or anything that an audiophile loves).You can feed the output to a high-end amplifier and get unbeatable sound.Or use a good pair of headphones.

This CD/MP3 player is also great for books-on-CDs.Ripping CD audiobooks is a pain and a tedious process.So it's simply easier to listen to the CDs direcly, and this lightweight, stylish, easy-to-use CD player is just PERFECT for that.And it runs for days on a single AA battery.(Hint: get Panasonic's new Oxyride AA batteries for double the life of even the best alkalines.)

I just love this portable CD player.If you are also an audiophile or an audiobook lover, this is perfect for your needs.

The only minor gripe is the player doesn't support WMA, which would have been even more fantastic for ripped audiobooks (better quality, smaller files).MP3 still takes too much space at the usual 128kbps bitrate.If I were to rip, I'd want to rip into 48kbps WMA and would still get great sound quality.(But I don't have the patience to rip anyway...)

BTW, this player (and the black version) are actually cheaper on Sony's consumer website, sonystyle dot com, where it sells for $49.95.I should have checked there first.

UPDATE: I was happy to discover that the inline remote control that comes with the D-NE320 also works on my Sony NW-HD3 20GB MP3 player.Awesome!

Product Description:
Combining a lightweight body, stylish good looks, and an impressive array of technical features, this Sony Psyc CD Walkman is a great fit for music fans of all stripes. The Walkman boasts an intriguing dimpled cover encircled by a translucent greenish ring, giving it a high-tech yet playful look that's quite unique among personal CD players. The flashy appearance extends to the matching clip remote, which lets listeners control the device with their thumb while exercising, and the pair of stereo headphones. More significantly, the device is far more than just a straightforward CD player, with compatibility for MP3, ATRAC3, and ATRAC3PLUS formats when burned onto a CD-R or CD-R disc. ATRAC3PLUS is a high-quality audio-compression technology that reduces the size of digital audio files while preserving much of a track's original sound quality (similar in concept to MP3 or Dolby Digital sound formats). With ATRAC3PLUS, music can be burned and compressed at 132, 105, 66, 64, or even 48 kbps (kilobits per second), letting users select the right balance between fidelity and storage space. The end result is a huge increase in CD-R/RW capacity, as each disc can hold as many as 490 ATRAC3PLUS songs when compressed to 48 kbps.
To assist listeners in managing the ATRAC3 and ATRAC3PLUS files, Sony has included a copy of its SonicStage software with each Psyc CD Walkman. The simple-to-use program helps you create your own music compilations on CD-R/RW media using your computer's CD burner. The software is also compatible with Sony's Connect Music store, which offers an extensive online music library with a huge catalog of songs available for quick and easy download. Once the songs are burned to a disc, listeners can glean track, album, and artist information from the Walkman's three-line LCD text display, which comes with multi-language support for greater versatility.
As with any good personal CD player, the Psyc CD Walkman offers anti-skip protection in the form of Sony's Skip-Free G-Protection technology, which helps the device quickly recover from both horizontal and vertical shocks to improve the listening experience. G-Protection is particularly valuable while jogging, skating, or pursuing other outdoor activities. The Walkman's audio performance stems from such features as its Digital Mega Bass Sound, which produces rich, deep bass tones with extremely limited harmonic distortion; Sony's Parametric Equalizer II, which gives listeners extremely precise control over the tonal balance; and a two-position Automatic Volume Limiter System, which consistently maintains the volume output at levels below the distortion threshold so that the sound is always clean and precise.
Additional features include a five-direction control key, which gives you single-button control over five individual functions; 18 playback modes, including repeat, program, and random; and an automatic shutoff feature that powers the player down when it's not in use to conserve battery power. The Walkman runs for up to 41 hours on a single AA battery and comes with a one-year parts warranty.
About Sony Connect Music Store and ATRAC3plus
Sony's Connect Music store offers one of the most extensive music collections online. Customers can choose single tracks or entire albums from independent and major-label artists for purchase and download. Sony's proprietary ATRAC3plus is an advanced audio compression and Digital Rights Management (DRM) technology offering multiple bit rates that allows you to create music compilations tailored to your listening preference. Songs downloaded and burned onto CD-R/RW media using ATRAC3plus technology can be played on any device that supports ATRAC3plus.

Sony MZ-R37 Portable Minidisc Player/Recorder Review

---

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I wasn't bowled over by MiniDiscs when they first appeared.I heard there were some audible artifacts of the compression technology which kept these pocket-sized marvels from being a true match for CDs.And the price of theMD machines was more than I wanted to spend.Just the other day, however,I managed to score a Sony MZ-R37 portable MD recorder at an online auction,and I'm here to say -- jump in, everybody, the format's fine!The truthis, I'm not about to replace my CDs or cassettes or equipment.But I'm asemipro drummer who wanted to get digital quality recordings of rehearsalsand jam sessions in a pocket-sized unit.Well, all I can say is -- ifthere are any audible deficiencies of the MD format, I can't hear them, andas a musician, my ears are pretty good.Although I haven't made a liverecording of my band yet, I have been making test recordings all weekend,dubbing CDs of demanding acoustic music like the David Ware Quartet.TheMZ-R37 makes and plays back superb recordings that I cannot distinguishfrom the original CDs; this despite the fact that I'm not using the digitaloptical hookup available (cord provided).I hear no hiss, wow, or flutter,no glitches between selections, and all instruments are present andaccounted for, and sound the way they should.There are no problems withthe azimuth misalignments I constantly encountered with cassettes. Recordings of electronic music sound superb too; the Beatles' "ComeTogether" sounded awesome!I did discover two things I have to get used towith the MD format.The first is the necessity of using the "END SEARCH"button if you have been listening to a recording before you resumerecording; otherwise, songs get split in half and weird sequencing eventsoccur.The second is to remember not to push PAUSE before pushing STOP atthe end of a recording; every time you push PAUSE on the MZ-R37, it adds atrack number.I'm so used to doing that on a cassette deck so as not tointroduce a glitch onto the tape between songs.I also discovered that youcan make a better recording by overriding the automatic gain control andpumping up the volume, so the peaks hit the top element in the display.Interms of things I would change on this unit, I wish the buttons were alittle bigger; my old fingers don't always have the easiest time zeroing inon the button required for a certain function!And I wish the MZ-R37 had aback-lit or electro-luminescent LCD panel you could see in low-lightconditions.I predict I'll be pulling out my pocket flashlight on morethan one occasion to check levels and disc run status!And some sort ofcarrying case would have been a more welcome inclusion with this packagefor me than the cheapo headphones or optical cable included.Liverecordists will need a stereo microphone too, one that draws power from themike input; for sound quality, compactness, and affordable price, it's hardto beat Sony's PC-62 or its successor, if there is one.And that prettymuch sums up the Sony MZ-R37 MD Recorder itself too!

Sony WM-FS221 Sports Walkman Cassette Player Review

---

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Learn from my mistakes.Don't buy this product!
The name "sports" walkman is tantamount to false advertising for this unit.Each one of these lasts appoximately 2 months . . . if you drop it even once from belt-high -- and it is likely that you will, because the belt clip breaks very easily -- it is finished.
The plastic shell does not protect the mechanism from impact any more than the shell of a [less expensive] model.I've now bought three of these for use while lifting weights at the gym.Because they break so quickly, I've returned all three under warranty, and never heard ANYTHING from SONY.That's three walkmans, within the past year.Three strikes, and it is out.
The design of the product is also poor: the headphone outlet is positioned such that the wire plugs into the bottom of the unit.That means that you lose about 4 inches from an already short headphone cord.Any kind of stretching (such as when doing pull-ups), and the headphones either unplug, or pull the unit off your belt.And when it hits the ground . . . it's finished.Here's another example of a design snafu: the nylon wrist strap is positioned in such a way that it interferes with your use of the belt clip.This configuration means that you must make a choice as soon as you buy the unit: either commit to strapping the device to your arm or wrist with the belt-clip bulge on your skin, or cut the nylon strap off and wear it on your belt.Yet another example of poor layout: the battery door opens counter-intuitively: unlike other walkman-like devices I've used, you must push the clip toward the direction of the door hinge.This wouldn't be a problem, except that Sony chose to also put the battery compartment inside the cassette player itself.Accordingly, removing the cassette often results in opening the battery compartment (and dropping the batteries).
The bottom line is this: if you buy this product expecting "sport" to equate to "durable" (as I did), you are kidding yourself.If you buy it for listening to music while safely cradled in a nest of pillows, you're wasting your money: units half the price that do not hold themselves out to be "sports" anything will deliver the same sound quality.

Sharp MDMS722 Portable Minidisc Player/Recorder Review

---

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is the perfect product for those of you looking for a portablerecordable audio player but are shocked at the high prices and low memorysize of MP3 players.With the new USB to digital optical products out onthe market, it has become very easy to digitally transfer your MP3's tominidisc at a low-cost, without having to worry about a loss of quality. The Sharp also has a great analog sound as well.
Although I havegraduated to the much higher cost Sony MD-90, this was my first, and totell you the truth they perform almost as well.
The final reason fofpurchasing this machine over an MP3 player is that for the price of 1 SonyMagicGate 64MB Memory Card (holding an hour of music), you can get 60Multi-recordable Minidiscs (holding close to 70 hours of music)Need I saymore?

Sony WM-FX195 Walkman AM / FM Stereo Cassette Player with Auto Shut-Off Review

---

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was very pleasantly surprised by the quality of this walkman. I tend to be hard on this type of device -- going thru one every two years. I got sick of paying $30+ for this type of product so I started buying ultra cheap $10 brands. The sound quality was adequate for my needs. I listen to mostly educational tapes while riding my bike -- alternating with radio and sometimes music tapes. When I saw that for $10 more I could own a Sony i decided to give it a try. The extra $10 was worth it and I guess pays for the headphones. They produce great quality sound. The unit is well thought out in terms of design, switches etc. And I like the slimmer casing. I long for casings of yesteryear that were much better quality but it is on par with the models of today. I like the limit switch which prevents you from jacking up the sound to levels that damage hearing. It's easy to do with headphones. A word of warning to young people out there -- do that enough and you will be hard of hearing. I've experienced hearing loss from loud rock music and playing electric guitar. The first station I happened to listen to was classical and I could not believe how clear and full the sound was. A keeper. I notice early users from prior years did not like this model. They must have upgraded since then. (...)I was one of the first users of the original Sony walkman's in the early 80s and Sony continues a great tradition and I'm glad I decided to own one again.

Product Description:
Sony's slim-design WM-FX195 stereo cassette player is portable enough--and, at under half a pound with batteries--light enough to go anywhere you do. In addition to playing tapes, the Walkman offers FM stereo and wideband AM radio reception. An anti-rolling mechanism maintains low wow and flutter by steadying the tape when you're running or walking, and an FM local/distant (DX) switch improves reception of fuzzy stations.
The player's automatic volume limiter system (AVLS) maintains an even volume level, guarding against unintended level increases and evening the output of musical passages that vary widely in level. A switch adjusts the sound to accommodate metal-oxide tapes, and Mega Bass produces deep, rich bass tones.
Automatic shut-off (in playback mode) extends battery life and helps prevent both mechanical and tape wear by turning off unit at the end of each tape side. Finally, an anti-rolling mechanism maintains stable tape speed to minimize music-distorting "wow and flutter" while the player is in motion.
Supplied MDR-026 over-ear headphones offer wide dynamic range and clear sound, and the unit also comes with a belt clip. Two AA batteries provide up to 25 hours of continuous tape playback (maximum, using Sony Alkaline batteries), or up to 55 hours of FM radio reception. And in case you don't keep count of the hours, a handy LED battery indicator warns you when it's time to switch.
What's in the Box
Cassette player, headphones, belt clip, and a user's manual.

Audio-Technica Handheld Vocal/Instrument Microphone - ATR20 Review

---

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)If you are just starting out and don't want to spend a fortune until you know what you are doing, this is a great mic. It has a little difficulty with the "P" sound but once you are aware of it you can work around producing that sound. I also like the fact it has 2 plug-in adapters (1/4 inch for my preamp and a smaller to connect directly into the computer, you'll thank me later) which gives you adaptability for different uses. All in all a great mic for the price.
