5 out of 5 stars works fine, and a lot cheaper.......2001-06-11

this replacement cartridge works perfectly and is a LOT cheaper, making it a good buy

5 out of 5 stars Awesome black cartridge.......2001-03-18

The dataproduct black compatible cartridge for the Epson Stylus Color 760 is awesome. The ink is just as good as Epson's at a fraction of the cost. I bought one after I went through the cartridge that came with the printer and had no problems. I have owned the printer for a year and went to refilling after 6 months but for the first five months I used these cartridges and can say they are well worth the money. I still use these cartridges when refilling. A good investment and saves lots of money over the expensively priced epsons. They don't cause clogging like other cheap compatible cartridges and the black produced from them is just as good as the epson's if not better.

5 out of 5 stars Sheilatx Review.......2000-06-26

I love the replacement cartridges and especially the price. I've had difficulty shopping at both CompUSA and MicroCenter, since they never have the cartridges in stock, so I went to the Dataproducts website and was disappointed that I couldn't get the cartridges in question on line through them. I find the cartridges of good quality and am at least as satisfied as if using Epson products, which are overpriced.

4 out of 5 stars Works fairly well, a bargain, but has some drawbacks.......2007-02-16

Ink cartridges are way too expensive; I was thinking of buying a whole new printer when I saw these Nu-Kotes. I have used both the black and the color cartridges; they look pretty much like the Epson cartridges, fit perfectly. The seller fills the order quickly. But after about a couple days' use, there is a funny smell from the printer. It's not bad, and didn't keep me from buying more -- but also, particularly with the color cartridge, there are gaps and lines when printing; need to keep cleaning the heads to get a good print. Still, it's worth it for th overall savings.

Consumer Reports rates PrintPal the highest of non-Epson cartridges, so that may be a better bet, but it isn't available through Amazon, unfortunately.

        The Epson ink cartridge is the best choice for the Epson printer. I've got the 1520 printer and have at times been sent supposedly compatible brands of ink cartridges and found them to be much inferior. Highly recommend the 1520 and its own Epson 1520 ink cartridge!

                Amazon.com Product Description

                Take your music on the run with Panasonic's lightweight, low-cost RP-HS71 over-ear, clip-on headphones. Comfort-fit hinges accommodate many ear sizes, and the headband-free design will never interfere with your hair style (or lack of one). A 3-foot cord permits freedom of movement while listening, and an auto-winding system retracts to store the cord in a protective shell. The minijack (.125-inch) terminal is gold-plated to maximize conductivity and minimize corrosion.

                Their large, 30 mm diaphragms offer full-bodied sound (with bass rated down to a stunning 14 Hz) that's free of the harshness and discomfort that usually accompany earbud-style earphones. The headphones' closed-ear design minimizes noise from without while confining your music to your ears.

                What's in the Box
                Headphones, protective auto-winding shell, and a data sheet.

                4 out of 5 stars good headphones for the value.......2004-10-16

                first off, the price is great. but along with the low price, u dont expect something audiophiles would fall in love with. that being said, i like these headphones. VERY comfortable to wear. almost like theyre not even on my ears! dont try to wear them like the dude on the packaging is wearing them, u have to turn them coounterclockwise.. youll figure it out. anyway, the volume control is a bit cheap. just a simple plastic disc u turn. the cord is about a yard long. sound quality is ok. big large sounds get a little muffled. and you are able to hear loud outside sounds. WITH ALL THAT BEING SAID, for the price, im satisfied. i use these to listen to music/watch dvds on my laptop. so for what i need and my frugal budget, im more than satisfied. enjoy!

                1 out of 5 stars Junk broke two times........2004-06-08

                The first pair, within a week I was getting a snapping popping sound everytime I would move around, I finally tracked it down to a part of the cord in the middle, it was like the wire was broken, and everytime I would move that part the static would start. Amazon fortunatley took them back and sent me a new pair. The next pair I purchased the piece that goes over your ear broke off after a week, again I called Amazon and they took them back. They recomended I try Sony, Sennheiser, or Koss. I chose the Koss KSC50 because they had a ton of good reviews, over 80, and Koss offers a lifetime warranty on all of their headphones.

                5 out of 5 stars Best Headphones ever.......2004-05-23

                I love these headphones they are the most comfortable headphones out there they are so comfortable i forget that im wearing them exept for the crystal clear quality of sound and the self retractable cord can impress all your friends my only complaint is that on high volumes the headphones get a little fuzzy and some one was able to steal the clips off the top of them and the pad fall off and need to be put back on occasionally

                5 out of 5 stars Clear Deep Sound, Lightweight & Versatile.......2003-06-10

                Had to sing the praises of this headphone set.

                Let me first say that I'm not one of these guys who spends $100-$200 on a pair of studio-quality closed-ear headphones. I need to use them while walking to work, sitting at my desk killing time, and working out or running. I'm also scared to invest that kind of cash, as I seem to go through sets a few times a year, and they all end with 90-day warranties.

                I am, however, [particular] in my pre-purchase research of anything gadgety, surfing [every site possible] to get the best of the best.

                My previous set (Sony MDR-Q33), did me well for sound quality and ok for comfort (it's a band-less clip-on-ear style, which I've grown fond of for its versatility). Alas, eventually the cord threaded away, and the right speaker kicked out.

                Thus my mission was to find a similar clip-on-ear style set, at a low price but with extra durability and top-notch sound (for the < $100 price range). Enter the Panasonic RP-HS71.

                For those of you trying to figure out what's what in headphones, ignore all the glitz and simply focus on the three important benchmarks that should be listed automatically in the headphone spec's:
                -Impedance (smaller, < 40ohms, values are better, as higher values require more electrical energy to drive sound)
                -Sensitivity (larger, > 100db, values are better, as lower values mean decreased ability to deliver full sound at high volumes)
                -Frequency Response (broad range, 20Hz-20kHz or broader, is better, as narrow range means some sounds cannot accurately be reproduced)

                These factors set apart the men from the boys. They're why if care about sound quality, you don't buy Koss or Jensen, and why you do buy Sony, Panasonic, or Sennheiser.

                So now you can see why the ~$14.99 Panasonic RP-HS71 should catch your eye...
                -Impedance 20 ohms
                -Sensitivity: 108db/mW (better than even most mid-range Sonys)
                -Frequency Response: 14Hz-24kHz (again, better than even most mid-range Sonys)

                The Sound is rich and full, as I tested everything from Jimmy Van M's Bedrock, to Rage Against The Machine, to Sarah McLachlan.

                Best yet, upon actually trying these bad boys out, not only are they a bit more comfortable in terms of a snap mechanism (instead of the spring-loaded ones the Sonys have) to hold them to your ears securely, but this particular model has a great integrated spring-loaded retractable plug-in mechanism for winding up the cord when not being used. I'm hoping this means a longer overall life for this pair, since it's going to be much less likely to suffer the frayed-cord death of my old Sonys.

                This model's a bit tough to find these days because it's discontinued, but definitely worth tracking down because for some reason it's the only Panasonic model with the retractable cord.
