Cables Unlimited 900MHz Wireless Stereo Headphones (SPK-9100)

Friday, September 3rd, 2010


I was looking for wireless headphones for watching TV, to allow me to adjust the volume to a level that is comfortable to me that wouldn't disturb others. I first tried a cheaper pair, but quickly returned them.

I am very happy with these headphones, especially after the frustration of trying the others (Sylvania SYL-WH930GB). These headphones synchronize with their transmitter almost instantly and provide a clear sound with little or no interference or static. On the down side, they are fairly large and bulky and can get to be a little uncomfortable after an hour or two but this is not a big problem.

I really like the fact that this unit comes with a headphone jack adapter because my stereo has the old 1/4" headphone jack. I use the headphone jack as the signal source for the headphone transmitter.

If I am the only one watching TV early in the morning or late at night, I can turn off my external speakers using the A/B speaker switch on my sound system, turn down or mute the TV volume, and then adjust the stereo volume to my liking. If others are watching TV with me, they can adjust the stereo and or TV volume to their liking, and I can use the volume control on the headphones to increase my personal listening volume to my preference without blowing out everyone else.

I haven't used these headphones for listening to music, but based on the sound quality I've experience while watching TV, I believe these would be just fine for most people.

I am very happy with this product and would have given it five stars if the headphones themselves were a little less bulky.

Love these headphones!!!!!!
For the price these are great. The clarity is very good...actually the sound is clearer and better than just listening to the TV without them.

It's a great buy!


Hearing What the rest of the Family Hears

I have owned a couple different 900MHZ Headsets. This is the best one I've had for clarity and volume control. I can watch TV all night and never wake anyone in the house. It also helps me to hear what is being said on the TV.

The only thing that I have found annoying is putting the headset in the stand to recharge. You must have an extremely light and balanced touch. It just doesn't work well for older folks with big shaky hands. In order for it to charge, the green light must come on. It is very rare that I can set the headset in place it in place and get this to happen on the first try. It usually takes four or five tries. There you have my only complaint.

I would buy this item again because of the comfort of it sitting on my head and ears and the clarity and volume. For theses things it is a good buy and a good product.

Better Than Expected
After much research I purchased these headphones. Although I was not familiar with Cables Unlimited,based on price and reviews i purchased them. Better than expected. Quality,sound, ease of setup were great. Having some hearing loss,I was missing audio from my TV. Not anymore. I've had these for 2 months with no problems.Set up was very easy with clear directions.
I would buy these again, and will recommend them.


Just what the doctor ordered
I am perfectly happy with these headphones which I use to watch TV through my stereo so as not to disturb others in the house as I'm a little hard of hearing. They deliver very good rich sound quality and I can hear every little obscure noise that I never noticed on TV before. I can even leave the room to do dishes and still be able to listen to my shows, TV or Radio or whatever! They come with an ingenius comfort strap across the top which self adjusts to your head size and cup around your entire ear but do not block out outside noises so you can still be aware of your surroundings etc. I haven't had them long but after the initial 24 hour battery charge stipulated in the manual, they lasted an entire day before redocking them. They do come with the volume turned down to zero, so don't forget to turn it up the first time, using the knob in the earpiece. I know I will enjoy these for a long time to come.

i was surprised at how sturdy the mic headset is.. better than the others ive bought in person... the ear pads are a tiny bit bigger than my old ones which are more comfortable.. i used to get sore on my ear from long chats on the internet like it would dig into my skull next to my ear..and with this one i havent had that happen yet.
worth the money i paid by far.

Good headset, but...
This headset for overall is pretty good but it has some needs to be addressed in order to be a 4 or 5-star headset even at this price point:

1) And a big one: the mic and headphone plugs are separate. For a desktop or older laptop this might be OK. But, a lot of new laptops have a combined mic/headphone jack. One could buy an adapter but that would add to the cost and to the bulk. And, yet, another adapter to carry around. Combining these two plugs and even maintaining the 3.5mm plug size would also allow it to be used on an iPhone (hint, hint).

2) Although quite comfortable there is no adjust-ability to the wrap around neck band and thus it protrudes from the back of your head. So, if you were to lean back in your chair the headphone will pop off. This can be an issue for a long conference call or if you are in a lecture for an online class or on an airplane flight.


Works well!
This was a gift for an older person who is a little hard of hearing and I was told that this was excellent. It was used for Skype computer call and it was comfortable to use. No complaints at all!


Good value headset for gaming.
I got a couple of these to use for gaming when a bunch of us get together. Everybody who has tried them have reacted positively and have been surprised at the low cost.

This cable is great I plug my Ipod into my guitar amp and it plays great. The price was best of all. Thanks.


Works great
This is exactly what I needed to hook up my mp3 player to the car, and my iPod to the stereo, and my laptop to a speaker system.


Plug in stuff that you couldn't before you had this
It's good for playing with things that have headphone outputs that you want to play out of other things that accept headphone inputs.

Sony Open-air Stereo Headphones (MDR-110LP)


I am a music buff (I like to think so). I look for good bass sound for small size since I do not like to carry big headphones when I am traveling. I think small clip-on speakers are easy to use and store. These speakers, I would not recommend much. I would recommend for the same price, go for 'Panasonic RP-HS43 Clip-On Headphones'. They have good bass. These sony speakers do not fit my head that well and they are kind of lose. (I also like to think that my head size is normal). Since good fit on ear is necessary for good sound quality, the sound of the music suffers from outside noise. So for this price, I think they are OK to use.

Great sound, short cord
Sony lives up to their reputation in sound quality. The bass is great, the highs are crisp and clear. The plug is a right angle style which reduces cord stress, great for a laptop or an old school Discman. They are very comfortable and lightweight. Made in Thailand, not China.

As other reviewers have noted, the cord is simply too short (only 1m length). But for headphones, one can't complain too much. Now where's my stereo-mini extension cord...


Good cheap headphones
Good, cheap headphones for computer use. The sound is good and very adequate for using on a computer. The head band is made of plastic and is a little on the loose side. The cord is very short and that is why it is worth 3 stars.


Sony headphone work well but the wires are far too short.
I think Sony figure the person using this would have the unit in their front pocket. If they'd lengthen the wires it would be a very good reasonalbly priced unit.

I've had these of years (25 years) they still work great but to foam covers fell apart, guess I will get another they should out last me!

Canon 2591B002 DM-100 Directional Stereo Microphone for HF/HG Series Camcorders

Saturday, August 7th, 2010


I bought an HF-10 then added the shotgun mic. I was impressed that it had variable stereo patterns or shotgun options, it came complete with the dead cat cover, and it worked with canon's DV mini-S shoe.

Video is 1/2 sound when you shoot it and 3/4 sound when you are in post production. Having clear sound at a distance usually means an RF remote lav mic (along with an on camera mixer) - but for 6-10 foot shoots that seems like alot of work. That's the sweet spot on the shotgun mic.

Since the mini-S cams are digital to begin with there is no problem with mechanism noise being picked up.

PROS:

1 - Wonderful sound quality, and adjustable
2 - uses Mini-S mouning system
3 - can be adjusted using the camera's manual knob
4 - so lightweight you won't know its there
5 - shock mounted so if you bump it it won't break
6 - much better sound quality than builtin mics
7 - allows you to turn off the wind noise reduction "option" which messes with your audio - something to do in post anyways.

Cons:

1 - really a camera problem - only one device fits in mini-S at a time, so no light or lan-c w/ this plugged in

excellent addition to the HF100
I bought this mic as I record alot of bands live and the onboard mic picked up alot of background noise.
The DM-100 picks up the drums much better than the onboard. Very clear, very nice sound.

Some things to note:
Once you get this mic, you'll never use the onboard mic again
This mic is made in Japan, its superior quality
Records live bands very well.
this mic does not get in the way of good recordings, good presence on the top of cam

I looked at the Rode mic also. I didn't want any wires that could short out eventually, so I steered clear
of that. I now see that canon is making a 5.1 mic for their newer cams. I'll probably go in that
direction eventually.


Dead rat
Like it. Good sound pickup. Get some funny looks at times. A little pricey though.


shotgun microphone
I've actually had comments that this year's video had better audio than last year's. The proof is in the product.


Mic Pretty Good
I've been using it since I bought it and its been working well for me. I suggest it to all buyers!!! Definitely handy for a variety of circumstances.

InCarCables Car Stereo Ipod/mp3 Auxiliary Aux-in Input Cable 3.5mm (4ft)


There's nothing wrong with this cable that really deserves mentioning other than that the rubber on the ends are too thick. If you have a thick case for your ipod or have little room like on a nano, squeezing this cable with a car charger is impossible. I understand its quality but how often does your cable rip at the head. more often than not, its the rubber around the actual wiring becomes stripped or it gets detached near the base of the tip and where it connects to the wire. I'm sure they meant well by making one that is thick and built nicely but it just seems a little too big for me. for other ipods though, it may be better. for the price though, it's well worth it. quality from the cable is nice and i don't hear any static from my car speakers. this is definitely better than those 99cents cables mailed from china that get stripped in 2 weeks. save yourself some time and just invest 8 dollars in a quality one like this.

for use in that AUX imput on your car
A good quality car to ipod cable. I bought cheapo models that break at the stress point where the cable meets the jack. This jack is pretty beefy and should last a long time even when they are jerked at bit in a car.


Works great with my iPad
I purchased the Pioneer DEH-2200UB CD Receiver with iPod Direct Control and USB Input and needed an auxiliary cable since my iPad was not compatible with the iPod input. This cable is perfect! The length is just right and the heads fit snugly in place. Using the receiver's auxiliary input I can now listen to my music on my iPad through my cars stereo speakers. I especially like that the cable is black and gray instead of white that sounds out like a sore thumb. The cable blend nicely with the receiver and the interior of my vehicle.


iphone 3GS cable
Excellent product. Played like magic right out of the box. Love the design better looking than radio shack.


Works great for my droid incredible
I order this one since my new corrola has aux and I have a droid incredible with Pandora.....it works seamlessly on my car. great product!
