Too many errors for my use.......2007-07-19

My son was cataloging his sheet music and trying to add entries into an access database from the sheet music. Small errors were noticed in almost every entry which made manual entry faster than editing the mistakes. I am sure it has its place but not for this application.

Works Fine For My Needs.......2007-03-28

I was concerned about the mixed reviews of this product, but considering this scanner was so inexpensive I decided to try it myself. An instruction manual and quick start guide is included, but for more thorough instructions check the Documentation folder on the CD. After following the directions, I could not get the device to communicate with my computer. The documentation and website advise trying to change the Baud Rate on the device and on the PC, but that still didn't help. I finally got the connection to work after changing the COM Port number in the Advanced settings in Device Manager. For some reason the device is not a normal USB device, but can be found under Ports(Com&LPT) - Prolific USB-to-Serial Comm Port on Windows XP.
Anyway, I now use the device to highlight key passages in my everyday reading, which are typically only one or two sentences long at a time and from both magazines and books. I have good success with this device, but have not tried the optional image scanner or the infrared capability. I have no experience with any other pen scanner, but this is the most inexpensive one I found and includes USB connectivity and works great for casual highlighting. Once you get the connection working, and beyond the fact that this device is an ugly red, this is a good product to have. The only issue I have with it now is that I wish it was a little smaller, especially since I don't have the need for the big display to see what I just scanned.

Here are the facts.......2007-02-28

I saw, ordered, tried it, and returned it. I'd say more, but the product isn't worth it.

Not my best buy........2007-02-24

After two weeks and several conversations with tech support, I could not get the pen to write to my computer (Word), though the internal test showed communication. I returned it to the mfg. Got it back with no info as to what they discovered. Tested or no? Repaired or no?
So I tried it and it now does write to computer, though with little accuracy. The problem is, with no comunitcation from their Customer Support, I don't know if it works due to repair or because I upgraded from 1 gig to 2 gigs of ram. Oh well, one can't get it right every time.

awsome!.......2007-01-19

I got this for my husband who is going back to school later this year for his masters! He loved it! It made a great stocking stuffer!

I wish I had known it came from CompUsa & I would have gone to pick it up to save the shipping $ & time but that is my only complaint!

500VA ain't much.......2003-09-22

... at least for a normal desktop and monitor. (My system draws about 150W and drains the battery in less than 11 minutes, but I guess that's expected.) My main issue is the long recharge cycle. 24h for from 0 to 100% is a little long. No conclusive self test and no way to clear log after some testing to figure out the stamina dim the otherwise good software. (Using XP)

the UPS for it's price/size [price](after rebate at most places)
and havenig a 500VA battery made it a good deal, but the software which is supposed to gives you tons of useless information, DOESN'T WORK. I waited 16 hours for the battery to fully charge and the sofware can only tell that my UPS is connected, but nothing else, even when i pull the plug and make my PC run off of it, the software does nothing.i'm sure if i had a win9x based system i might have better results.Just remember: you get what you pay for

I'm not one for big black bulky speakers so that's what led me to buy the M60s. When I got them I was very impressed with their design - and the fact that they blend so well with my room. But what suprised me even more was the way they sounded. Absolutely terrific.

I love my M60 speakers. I really thought you had to get really big speakers to get this sort of great sound. And I love how the mahogany finish looks in my living room. It looks like these speakers belong there.

Good headphones. Bass is fun. Hurt if you wear for over an hour. Excellent for price.

Performance is fine. Construction is flimsy!.......2007-05-31

The unit performs as described, but the headphone frame is complex in construction and flimsy. It broke spontaneously after only a few weeks of conscientious care, rendering the unit useless. The vendor, Beach Audio, does not accept claims for defective products after 30 days.

Adds Tactile element to Gaming and DVD's.......2007-03-24

These headphones are pretty good. But before I go on, it should be mentioned that these vibrating headphones use 1 AA battery like other vibrating headphones (battery included). This important detail is not mentioned in the product description or on GE's website. This is important b/c I knew there was no way these headphones could produce enough vibration without extra power (don't think enough electricity can be accessed through a Mini plug). But I took the chance and ordered these headphones without knowing this important detail anyways b/c they were cheap.

About the performance of these headphones. Its good. They fit tight on my head but its comfortable. Physically, the size of my ears and head are probably slightly above average but there's really no discomfort.

So how much bass do these headphones produce? How's the sound quality in general? Well, I remember reading another review (for 'Skullcrushers', another brand of vibrating headphones) and the reviewer said it was similar to sitting in the back seat of a car with a good subwoofer. The vibrating sensation is fairly diffuse, not overwhelming but strong enough. Audio wise, ts like taking a stock Toyota Corrolla's sound system and **just** adding a subwoofer. So in other words, mid's and hi's are just adequate (actually hi's are pretty weak, i've noticed these phones 'crack' at high frequency if you listen to intense audio that gets up that high often) while low bass is good. So think of it like this, audio that's expected from $20 headphones + good, vibrating bass.

And the vibrating aspect is really nice. It makes gaming and movies much more engrossing. Actually if you're gaming with these headphones on you will feel like you're in the middle of an arcade or in a rave. Where there's a thumping that dominates your audio senses while the hi's and mid's are more in the background. Some people may not like this but I think its really cool. I love using these headphones while watching 'Best Motoring' (a great japanese audio show about cars...Amazon sell some of their DVD's), it makes watching these movies a lot more fun. These headphones just make gaming and action DVD's much more engrossing.

Build quality is also pretty good. And these headphones fold up nicely and it comes with a leather carrying case.

EDIT: BTW, upon closer examination, these headphones have the exact same specs as the Skullcandy Skullcrushers. They're pretty much the same headphones, minus $20 and cool name. For some reason, GE/Jasco didn't post the specs for these headphones **ANYWHERE** on the Internet (trust me, I looked; they're not even on the GE/Jasco website). But the specs are on the box (which I have). The specs for these headphones are:

Speaker Driver: 30mm
Impedance: 32 Ohm +/- 10%
Sensitivity: 99dB +/- 3dB at 1Kh
Frequency response: 20Hz-20KHz
Maximum power output: 40mW
Rated power input: 10mW
Power supply: 1 AA batery
Plug: 3.5mm gold plated
Cord length: 5 ft

If you look at the skullcrushers, the specs are almost identical.
