XO Vision IR620 Universal IR Wireless Foldable Headphones for In-Car Video Listening

XO Vision IR620 Universal IR Wireless Foldable Headphones for In-Car Video Listening
  • Extra foam cushioning for superior comfort
  • Auto Shut-Off saves battery
  • One size fits all - easily adjusts to fit any size head
  • Touch On/Off Switch and Volume Control conveniently located on side of headphone
  • Foldable Earcup design

To purchase the headsets from GM are currently around $80 a piece. I just purchased 4 for under that amount total! It does not get much better than that!

I just purchased a used GMC Yukon XL with the integrated DVD (Panasonic) and needed to get headsets and the remote ... these worked without a glitch!

One comment though to keep in mind is that these are single channel IR headsets. For example, my SUV supports two channels, one for the DVD, and one for the radio. Therefore, with a two channel headset, one could swap between the DVD and the radio/CD if one wanted. Due to the fact that these are only single channel, all I get is the DVD. However, my goal was to have the kids watch their DVD while I listen to the radio, so this is all that I needed.

I am not an audiophile, but they sounded fine enough to me. There was no buzz or hiss and felt comfortable enough. Lets put it this way ... the kids do not complain and stay quiet ... that is good enough for me.

(For the remote I got a universal remote at my local retail store for $7.)

You can't beat the price!

I have a 2009 Honda Pilot and 3 kids and the Honda's DVD Entertainment system only comes with 2 headsets. Hondas headsets are about $40-$50 each and since I don't think any headset will last with my kids, I decided to try XO Vision. These headphones work with the DVD system, sound pretty good, fit head sizes both large and small at a fraction of the Honda OEM headset price. I decided to get two pairs as back up or to entertain others. For the price of under $20 you can't go wrong.

I bought my 2005 GMC Yukon Denali used, about two months ago. It didn't have the factory head sets with it and after inquiring at the dealer for new ones ($65/each), I said "The kids can listen through the speakers... after all, it is a Bose system... I'm not spending $200 on 3 headsets!". Well, after two short months, I was ready to. I quickly realized a grown man can only take so much of Spongebob's laugh. I started searching for head phones that would be compatible with the video system. Found these and thought for the price I would give them a try. Got them today. Put the batteries in, turned them on, started the DVD, and they worked! No setup. No configuration. They just worked! (why cany other things be like that?)

The sound quality is very good. Which by my kids (ages 4, 7, 10) standards its "freakin awesome, dad!" The construction quality is pretty good but I fully expect them to break at some point. Not because they are flimsy, they are not. But because my kids are that good! They can bend a crowbar in a sandbox and at $16 a pop, daddy can afford a couple extra crowbars.

We actually bought these from Walmart, but I have resolved to write favorable review so people can get more info on specific products. We have a 2007 Honda Odyssey and the headphones for the DVD system have taken a beating from our children. Recently one of them lost the right ear sound and at first I thought I would try to fix the pair. Not so much, they were impossible to open so I quickly gave up and began my search. The factory sets are more than $50 a pair so I went looking and found these for 10 bucks on walmart. They arrived today and I immediately went out to see if they worked and they did without doing a single thing! Put the batteries in, cranked the car, and away we went! I only ordered one at first, in case we had compatibility issues for some strange reason, but they powered up and worked right away! Can you beat it? No syncing, or matching, nothing required for use. Headphones for 10 bucks? Sound is great, fit is fine, volume fantastic. Don't listen to the people who post negative reviews because they thought they would work with their portable DVD player which doesn't have IR capability. Those people are fools who didn't know what they were buying. You must actually do research to know that these are meant for in-car built in IR DVD systems. I just ordered 3 more sets so anyone in our van can enjoy listening to what's on the player. If anything goes wrong, I will update this review but as far as I am concerned, you can go ahead and get these for Honda systems. Unbelievable that I waited so long before finding these, but I am sold on them and won't be buying anything else. Take the leap and you'll be glad you did! ENJOY!

Battery Tender 500-0017 Utility Bag Pouch

Battery Tender 500-0017 Utility Bag PouchI have two of these for my two Battery Tender Jr's. They are perfectly suited for the Junior. I intend to buy another Battery Tender Jr. and will DEFINITELY buy another pouch. Some of reviews incorrectly say this is cheaply made of vinyl, they are actually made of water resistant nylon. I concur with the reviews that say they cannot store their extension cables in these pouches for me, the Battery Tender Jr (with cords neatly wrapped) was all I could manage to store in mine. Here's the REAL scoop on these:

1) Approx. 6" x 7" x 2" (sizes approx. from stitching to stiching)

2) Made of water resistant nylon seems to be fairly durable (piping & stitching only single-stiched)

3) Great clear vinyl "pocket" inside pouch for documentation (user instructions, etc.)

4) Double zipper pull meaning you can pull zippers from each side to meet in the middle to close the pouch.

5) Nifty little carrying strap

6) Company Name, Battery Tender Logo, & Company website silk screened on front

7) Finally, comes complete with a little white label stating this was "Made in China" but as much as I try it's hard to find practically "anything" made in the good old USA these days !!

Nice pouch, but had I known the Deltran Battery Tender Plus comes in a re-usable plastic case, I wouldn't have purchased this pouch. Usually you have to get out the utility knife to extract the "prize" sealed inside the plastic casing, but this case was really nice--it just snapped open without any cutting and you can close it again when you put the charger away. The pouch is a little smaller than I expected, but then so is the battery charger--about the size of half a small masonry brick--not car battery size like my dad's Craftsman.

Nice bag. I also purchased the 25 foot cable, but could not put it in the bag. Otherwise it holds the tender plus fine.

Nice inexpensive bag with the Battery Tender Logo.

-Yes, like someone else wrote, you can buy a cheap bag from the store instead, but this bag has an inner zipper section for the cables too.

-It's a nice bag, and when I take my car out of storage, I put the charger in the pouch, and store it in the trunk, so it is always with the car.

-Nice deal if you can combine this purchase with something else and get free shipping.

-enjoy.

Want Battery Tender 500-0017 Utility Bag Pouch Discount?

The Battery Tender Utility Pouch is very usuable for the Battery Tender Junior. The charger fits in the pouch along with both of the charger cords. At first, when opened from its packaging, it seemed a bit thin in material, but turned out to be very flexible to get the charger and cords inserted. As a result, I can put the bag with all its contents in the tool box of the '94 Kawasaki 400 Bayou for which I use the charger for when off on our yearly elk hunting trip.

PYLE PNVU500 Ultra Compact 240 Watt DC/AC Power Inverter

PYLE PNVU500 Ultra Compact 240 Watt DC/AC Power Inverter
  • Cigarette Lighter Powered With 1 Power Output - Replaceable Spade Fuse - Less Than 0.3A No Load Current Draw - Dimensions: 2.65''W x 0.75''H x 3.65''D

I bought this hoping to power some low wattage lights and other low power equipment only to find that it does not even have a polarized plug! Who the heck puts a three prong grounded outlet on anything with a plug that is not polarized. I wish I had never purchased this item as almost all of my equipment has polarized plugs. I ended up going to the local electronics store and looking for one and sure enough there was not an inverter in the store that did not have a polarized outlet on it. I hope I can save a few others from making the same mistake I did by posting this review!

Buy PYLE PNVU500 Ultra Compact 240 Watt DC/AC Power Inverter Now

It does not have a polarized plug, it gets warm when working, and it is not 240 watts unless you count all the heat it puts out, and I would not recommend using it unless you are close by just in case it catches on fire.

I do use it with several new and old devices with non polarized plugs such as my AC cell phone chargers, my 50 year old lamp, and hard wired to many AC devices in my lab.

I am happy with my purchase, and 2 years later it still works and has never set anything on fire yet, but I paid $16 with free shipping in 2010, and it's not worth much more.

Crimestopper RS7-G3 Gen 3 2 Way Paging Remote Start System

Crimestopper RS7-G3 Gen 3 2 Way Paging Remote Start SystemThe remote unit is very sensitive and it is easy to turn the car on when you don't mean to do so.

I bought this remote starter for my wife. She is now able to start her car from her station at work. She works in a building that has a metal exterior and is at least 1500 feet from her car. She no longer has to get into a cold car after she is done with work, we are from Wisconsin and it gets very cold here. In fact, the outside temperature as I write this is 15 degrees below zero with a wind chill of 31 below zero! To say that she loves it is an understatement! The primary key fob has a screen on it that shows whether or not the car has actually started. It's timer function is a great idea, the car will shut off after 20 minutes if you haven't inserted the key into ignition of the car, just in case you forget that you've started the car, eliminating the possibility of running the car out of gas. I highly recommend this remote start. In fact, I'm thinking of ordering another one for myself to install in my truck.

I bought two RS7-G3 about 2 months ago. They work great. The one way side kick transmitter does not look like the one on Amazon.com. The unit does not have a seperate wire for car starter disable. I had to use diodes to split the signal for the bypass transponder and car starter disable. I had to purchase diodes and relays seperately...

Solid Brass Battery Terminal Heavy Duty

Solid Brass Battery Terminal Heavy Duty
  • Heavy duty brass construction
  • Suitable for 1 gauge - 6 gauge battery wire
  • Fits all standard top post batteries

I really do like these brass terminals. I have been using them for connectors to a couple of deep cycle AGM 55AH 12 volt batteries I set up along with some solar panels, a regulator, etc. etc. that I am working on as a "pet project" of mine.

They fit the terminal posts on both the deep cycle batteries, and one AC Delco old car battery I had that I "brought back to life" that I had never used but had been sitting around dead for five years just taking up space.

Of course you don't try to combine a car battery with a deep cycle battery. The results will be disastereous. I worked on the Delco separately. My point being that the battery posts on my deep cycle batteries are not the standard rounded terminal poles that are on an average car battery. They are flat and have a hole through the middle of each pole.

These brass terminals fit perfectly with both types of battery posts, and they are very easy to work with. Ya can connect them up from a few different points on each terminal, so I consider them very user friendly.

They have a fairly good heft to them. Solidly built, good metal, and they feel very "right." I highly recommend them!

And I liked them so much compared to some others I tried that I have kept ordering more of them. I must be using four or five sets now, and have a spare for my next battery. And this may be a trivial point to make but the "brass" finish on them has not faded the slightest bit. Even after a half year of constant use.

iOttie Easy Flex2 Windshield Dashboard Car Mount Holder Cradle Desk Mount for iPhone 5 4S 4 3GS iPo

iOttie Easy Flex2 Windshield Dashboard Car Mount Holder Cradle Desk Mount for iPhone 5 4S 4 3GS iPod Touch Samsung Galaxy S4 S3 S2 Nokia Lumia 920 HTC OneX EVO 4G Rhyme DROID RAZR MAXX Google Nexus LG Optimus G BlackBerry Z10 Torch Compact Size GPSAfter I upgraded to the iPhone 5, I needed a car mount as my Magellan car mount is no longer compatible due to the lightning port and the phone being taller. This car mount is easy to use, extremely portable, and works with different devices and not just the iPhone 5, which is great so you don't have to buy a new mount whenever you buy a new phone. You can securely mount it on your windshield or dashboard. The sticky pad is really sticky. I mount it on the windshield, and I had to pull it really hard to get it off. But I mount mine on the dashboard since it's closer to eye level, and it's easier to reach than mounting it on a windshield. I have a textured dashboard, and it mounts without any problem. The mount has two arms to secure the phone without any support at the bottom. I prefer a mount without any extra support down at the bottom so you can access all the ports without that getting in the way. This is especially the case if you're using it with the iPhone 5 since the lightning port and headphone jack are in the bottom. So far I'm really liking this mount, and glad I got this over the iOttie One-Touch Windshield Dashboard Mount (don't like the bottom support) or the Ciingo Mount (not sure how stable that sticky pad is over time, especially during the winter months in Seattle). If you want a car mount that is portable and affordable, I think you'll like this.

PROS:

The mount is very small in size and compacts nicely when closed so it doesn't take up much space

You can easily rotate the arm to just about any viewing angle, and turn the phone around from a portrait to landscape view without removing anything

The pincher is able to hold very large phones, including my Samsung Galaxy S3 (with a case on it)

The suction cup is very strong: it was able to attach to my dash, which has a textured surface, and not fall off on a long trip

CONS:

The suction cup is very strong: they provide a small tab on the back for you to pull to remove the suction cup (after you twist the dial), but even still, it can be very difficult to pry it lose if it has a great seal to the surface it's on

If you have a stiff suspension like in my car, the phone will sometimes jiggle around a bit (although this more a fault of the car than the mount)

Buy iOttie Easy Flex2 Windshield Dashboard Car Mount Holder Cradle Desk Mount for iPhone 5 4S 4 3GS iPo Now

To start, I got the product in a timely manner (about a week).

I was worried about the clasp part of the product not being strong enough to squeeze my phone. My next worry was the phone slipping out of the grasp of the clasp. I think both of the worries were resolved when I noticed the clasp is quite strong and there are sticky grips on the clasp as well. Despite the bumps, its held onto my phone very tightly. So no problem here. There is a 'one-handed' mount feature which is nice. There is a release button in the middle of the mount face that, when pushed in, releases the clasp and grabs the phone. Nice for getting in the car and putting the phone in without fussing with the clasps.

The swivel is great. Let's you angle and tilt basically any way you need (assuming you mount the iOttie pointing in the general direction you want/need). The swivel is strong too so you won't have to worry about a bump causing a re-angling or re-tilting of the mount.

Now I took a star off because I got this mount for my dashboard. Initially, right out of the box, it did not stick to my dash...anywhere. I tired 3 different spots and no success. I read some of the other reviews on trying to wipe the surface with a wet paper towel then trying but still, no success. What worked for me was wiping the dashboard surface AND the sticky suction. Then I was able to adhere the mount to where I wanted it originally. I'll tell ya, once this thing is suctioned on good luck trying to get it off. I tried and it is quite tough..so make sure you know for sure where you want it.

Overall, it's a solid mount without the clunkiness of some. The 'one-handed' mount feature is a nice and the mount itself is pretty solid. I got the mount so I could use my phone as a GPS and so I could glance over to see who's calling while not taking my eyes off the road. This definitely gets the job done for me.

Btw, I drive a Prius C and I mounted the Flex iOttie middle right of my dash (above the radio). It is stuck on there solid. Will update the review if there is any problems in the future.

-------------------UPDATE:

So I've had the mount for about a month and the mount has held up great. It is stuck exactly where I installed it.

BUT...I have adjusted my rating.. Here's why.

I currently have the iPhone 4S and I started to notice that music was skipping when connected to bluetooth. I soon realized that something in the mount (perhaps the spring) is interfering with the bluetooth connection, causing the music to skip. I know the mount is the problem because when I remove my phone from the mount the music stops skipping. It does not matter if I play music that is stored on my phone or streaming music (I know streaming music buffers at times but the music stored on my phone should not be skipping). ALSO, this affects calls! This is really annoying! When I make or receive calls, the voices on the other end gets broken up and it is hard to understand them. I have to take the phone out of the mount to understand them.

If I can't listen to music or take calls from my phone in this mount, what's the point?

iOttie...Please fix...

UPDATE --11/26/12 ---UPDATE

After updating the last time, iOttie contacted me and offered to fix the problem! The customer rep (Brittany) was very accommodating and offered to send me a replacement or the onetouch model. I chose the OneTouch and this does not seem to affect the bluetooth connection from my iPhone 5 to the car. This mount is also much sturdier imo.

I am adjusting the stars to 4 for the great customer service. If you want a sturdier and more reliable mount, I would check out the OneTouch mount.

I was looking for a dashboard car mount for my iPhone 5 so that I could use my phone for navigation. The phone fit perfectly and securely. However, when I went to stick the suction cup onto the dashboard, it didn't stick and had very weak suction! I even made sure to clean the dashboard from dust. I was disappointed and ready to leave a negative review because the product claimed to stick to any surface. I gave it the benefit of the doubt though. I took a wet paper towel and squeezed out the excess water. Afterwards, I rubbed the bottom of the suction cup with it and also the area where I was to place the mount on my dashboard. Afterwards it worked like a charm! Suction is nice and strong and I'm not worried about my phone falling down.

I ended up purchasing four different car phone holders before I found one that works that sticks to my dashboard, holds my IPhone 4, makes it relatively easy, with one hand, to insert the phone and remove it. And it stays stuck to the dashboard. I drive a late model Subaru Outback and after placing and testing the mount in many different locations, I found the most convenient one for me was mounted to the dash on left side of the steering wheel.

The three models that would not stick to the dashboard, anywhere I tried, are as follows (I returned them to Amazon without a problem:)

The iOttie Windshield Dashboard Car Mount Holder

The iOttie Easy Flex2 Windshield Dashboard Car Mount Holder & Desk Stand

The Tylt Capio Universal Car Mount

The one model that works, and is still working after a month, is the Aduro U-GRIP Universal Dashboard Windshield Car Mount. An added note is that this model comes with an extra grip in case the mount doesn't adhere well. I did not need to use it.

Battery Tender 021-1162 Solar Panel Charger Controller

Battery Tender 021-1162 Solar Panel Charger ControllerI've used it for 7 months now to charge alternately a 32AHr, 26AHR and 8Ahr deep cycle AGM batteries and it has done a great job. I have a 30 watt monocrystalline solar panel wired directly to it and connect it directly to my batteries using various quick disconnect connectors. I monitor the state of discharge (with a multimeter)and never let my batteries fall below 75% of rated capacity (as recommended by battery manufacturers for best practice and long life of battery.) The Battery Tender as described is a 3 stage charge controller and will put the most voltage out when the battery needs it and cuts back as it approaches full charge down to a trickle level. All the batteries quickly recharge even on partial sun days. Takes 3-6 hours of sun on the biggest battery less on the others. Keeping them topped off is easier (better for it), faster to recharge, and simple to rotate each bettery for its day or shared day of charging.

I've monitored its output to the various batteries and it does its job as described at manufacturers website.

Charge light lets you know when it is working and indicates what stage its at by color or flashing. Again just as described.

I use 12 volt DC LED lights and and connected to my inverter some AC CFL lights and charge all my phones and run my laptop a few hours EVERYDAY! If you have the right expectation of what wattage you planned to use and think about the set-up you can make a nice daily use (or emergency use) system with these components.

I am very pleased with the product to used for a small solar systems using a 45 watt panel or less. I plan to buy a few more and connect up lights, radios, in other rooms all over the house. My way of going green.

I also charge my AA, AAA rechargeable batteries with a DC connectable battery charger off my 32AHr battery too!

Saves me a lot of money on batteries and I use more battery operated devices now and the family enjoys the whole system. Use the Battery Tender only to charge batteries and do not try to run other things from it. That is not what is was designed for.

********

1 YEAR LATER: Now Feb 2013 AND THIS PRODUCT IS STILL SERVING ME WELL AND AS DESCRIBED. GREAT FOR SMALL TARGET INSTALATIONS!

I would rate this higher, but the charger I received sounded like a screw or electrical component fell off inside of the sealed charger body and is rattling around inside. I am hoping that it does not lead to a short circuit. I needed it for a project so I installed it and it appears to be working OK so far. Otherwise, I like the simplicity of this product. Easy to wire into my solar powered fountain project...

This works as advertized. I have used it for about a month on my lawn tractor that was in a shed for the winter, It took about a week(After the modifications below) for it to fully charge the battery because it and discharged some over the winter, I have several complaints\suggestions.

1) It has input and output terminal on opposite ends with screws to attach the wires

There is no shielding or covers over these blocks, which leave them open to shorting

if they touch any thing metal.

2) It does not come with any wires like other Battery Tender products. Most panels have a two wire

modular plug which you would need to cut to use with this charger. To solve this I purchased a

"Trailer Wiring Kit 2 Pole Flat Set" from one of the major Auto repair\parts

national chains and cut it in half. I soldered ring connectors from a wiring Kit rather

than crimping them. After attaching the wires, I covered the exposed terminals screws with

electrical tape to prevent an accidental short circuit.

3) I originally had four 1.5 W panels, which did not charge the battery. After I added a

added a 7.5 W panel for a total of 10.5w (one 7.5w and two 1.5 w panels, it worked fine.

The charge light illuminates but it does not charge, it only appeared to. No damage was done to my battery as my solar panel output is max 9v. My search for a 6v controller continues.

3.8L 12V Mini DC submersible Water Oil Pump for CPU Cooling Small Pond or HHO System

3.8L 12V Mini DC submersible Water Oil Pump for CPU Cooling Small Pond or HHO SystemPump is used in a warm water circulating sytems at about 70 degrees C. Works perfectly, well within specifications.

The pump is small, quiet, and perfect for the circulation application (small tank to big tank) to which it has been applied. I have had no problems with it and will more than likely be purchasing another one of these small pumps for a secondary, on demand, circulation system in the future.

I think this is a great pump it works a lot better than I thought it would great for small ponds and mabey even hobby jobs

Read Best Reviews of 3.8L 12V Mini DC submersible Water Oil Pump for CPU Cooling Small Pond or HHO System Here

This pump is very cute/tiny and has a small connector to it, so the volume isn't very high it seems.

I am running it on 12V PC power supply (yellow, black) and it provides enough water flow to hold the temperatures constantly low.

I use 3/8" tubes on it, much larger than this output has, but still works. It may have problems with air in the tubes at the first startup since the volume it delivers is quite small.

The noise level is similar to a pond motor and very quiet. Using it in a bucket, you can reduce sound by uncoupling vibrating tubes or wires from the bucket wall with a sponge.

I am using this with a combined cooling of GPU and CPU (gtx560ti, i3770k) and running very smooth at the moment. I will compare if I get more cooling from my old pond motor with more pressure or not. But anyway, this thing is reliable enough for a very cool system.

Summary:

The pressure is good, the water volume could be higher for more thick tubes.

Mac/PC USB Wireless FM Transmitter for Home Stereo Audio

Mac/PC USB Wireless FM Transmitter for Home Stereo Audio
  • Links computer music to any car or home stereo without cables or wires
  • Transmission of the computer music to audio equipment which has FM reception function
  • Mini hi-fi, CD radio cassette recorder, car stereo, etc. can be used as wireless USB speaker for personal computer
  • USB bus-powered, no battery or AC adapter required

I was hoping for a simple FM transmitter that would retain a clear signal for at least 30 feet with a hope for up to 100 feet. This is NOT that transmitter. After 10 feet the signal was full of static. Within 10 feet, someone passing between the transmitter and receiver created static. Simply put, this was a not a reliable or useful device to create a decent FM signal.

This device was supposed to transmit a good FM signal to an radio in the house, but it didn't even get to one that was 10 feet away from it. It was a total disaster.

I wanted to be able to listen to my favorite radio stations on my office stereo, and my favorite local station often has static, plus I wanted to listen to stations all over the world with high quality sound. I originally wanted one of those systems that would communicate directly with my wireless router, so I wouldn't have to have my PC on. Those systems are fairly expensive, most over $100, and from reviews, seem to have issues. So, I thought, this is an inexpensive solution, and the one review at the time was positive, so I decided to give it a try. I don't really spend much time in my home office without the PC on, so that didn't seem to be a problem.

Anyway, this is a perfect solution if you want to listen to Internet radio on a stereo system. Sound quality depends on the station, presumably the bitrate, so it's not always great but if the stream is of good quality, the sound is wonderful. I've tried comparing the sound quality of stations I can get locally with their online versions, and you do pay a price. The depth of sound just isn't there, but the complete absence of static more than makes up for it. And for me, there's no alternative. Also, the fact that it streams audio from the PC means I can keep a large list of stations I want to access on the PC, which I think is far simpler than trying to do that on a component that communicates directly with the router.

Setup was a breeze, I literally just plugged it into a USB port, set the dip switches to the frequency I had chosen, set my tuner to that frequency, and that was it. Well, also had to adjust the volume on Windows, it thinks this is a pair of USB speakers, and the default volume was low, so increasing it meant that the volume on the stereo matched that of local radio stations. But really, it could not be simpler. Of course now all the audio from my PC goes to the stereo, it would be nice if I could confine the audio I want to go there to the transmitter and the rest of the audio to my PC speakers, but haven't figured out a way to do that. Not a big problem though. And, the audio from this decvice can be picked up on the other stereos in my home.

One quibble: The information I had at the time I ordered did not tell me what FM (tuner)frequencies could be used. I read an online review from some stereo publication on the device, where the author was actually in the UK (I'm in the US). He had said that the allowable frequencies were at the low end, around 89 MHz, so no trouble finding an unused frequency, which is necessary. When I received the transmitter, however, I found I was restricted to 5 frequencies around 107 MHz. I live one hour north of New York City, so finding an empty frequency in that range is a challenge. I had only one choice, 107.3, not used by a local station but there was significant bleed from others. However, when I plugged in the device, the carrier wave instantly overrode that noise, so it's not an issue, but I think it would make much more sense to use the lower end of the band. Someone near a big city might have trouble finding an unused frequency in the upper end. Or, add another dip switch to allow more combinations, and thus more possible frequencies.

Otherwise, I think this is a great product, and probably the best, most cost-effective solution, if you want to listen to Internet radio (or anything else from your PC) on a conventional stereo system.

This is the first time that I have felt compelled to write a review... mostly because I felt a lot of trepidation about buying this transmitter based upon the existing reviews. I was also a bit daunted when it arrived with multilingual packaging and semi-illiterate translated English instructions. What a surprise when it installed and worked... beautifully... just as stated in the instructions! Now... understand... this transmitter is only USB powered... don't expect it to reach throughout an entire household without static or hissing... but in my case, I've got it installed on a laptop at my desk... with an FM stereo system 8 feet away that's got speakers all throughout my home... so I can now listen to my own Windows Media Player playlists, Pandora, YouTube... anything my laptop can access, without draping wires across the room! I'm ecstatic! Be smart... it's programmable for several different FM frequencies, so pick one that isn't overshadowed by a local radio station and it should work fine! And since it's unencumbered by batteries or an AC adapter it's really easy to move from one computer to another... my son can plug it into his computer and listen to his music on his nearby stereo! Just don't expect this to make you a radio station... the range IS limited!

I have my stereo system on the opposite side of the room from my computer, approximately 50 feet away. Originally, I had planned to run wiring to my stereo system so I could play the mp3s from my computer on my stereo system. After realizing how much wiring I would have to mess with, I decided to try this home stereo transmitter. The write-up only says it works for Windows 98, 2000 and XP... and since I have Windows 7 64 bit, I wasn't sure it would work on my computer. The good news is Win 7 recognized this usb device right away. The bad news (depending on view) is that it automatically silences my PC speakers when plugged in which makes for a mild nuisance that it must be unplugged whenever I want to hear my PC speakers. It has several different channel selections. I've only tried it on one so far. It worked... but the sound is not terrific. It might be the station I selected, but there is a lot of static, and I have to turn both my PC sound and stereo sound up to hear the music I am transmitting. I seriously doubt that this would work at all if there was any sort of obstruction between the stereo and the transmitter (there goes my dreams of a pirate radio station LOL). I wasn't looking necessarily for high-end audio, so for me it is ok. It doesn't require any extra power aside from the USB which was a pleasant surprise. I also like this better than a similar battery transmitter I tried previously. The battery transmitter I use to own worked fine, but I forgot to turn it off, and the battery leaked in the transmitter damaging it. If your looking for a cheap transmitter that is relatively effortless to use, but has only mediocre to bad sound quality, this is probably a good option. If your an audiophile who wants hi-quality sound... don't bother with this product.
