Akura APT-MIC 110 AR

Advantages: space saving
Disadvantages: sound and picture quality

...Myself and my fiancee where looking for a small screen lcd tv for our bedroom to save a little space and jazz the room up a little, i came across a few at our local mackro store after looking on the net for one. There where three to choose from but this Akura at £110+vat was the cheapest but looked the most stylish of the lot but i didnt see it working, how i wished i had.

When we had set it all up we turned it on and the first thing that struck us was the picture quality, it was, to put it bluntly bad, and then the sound quality, well if you put your telly in a big tin then you will get some idea as to what it sounds like, we tried messing...

Advantages: Small, light, easily put into pocket, and great sound.

Advantages: Good Mic Quality, Comfortable
Disadvantages: Not Stereo Poor Audio Quality

...If you are looking for a headset that will offer online chat capabilities then this is for you. However if you have gaming in mine this is not a good choice because the audio quality is lacking and it is not stereo. The constructions seems solid and is comfortable. Foam Earcup aids in comfort. Also on the oposite side it has foam to help keep the headset comfortable. The mic boom is adjustable this is helpful in getting good recording quality. Logitech is a good brand name so it should last quite a while. This is an exelenct low end mic for recording voice and chatting with friends but not for online gaming. It is a good buy for the money.... Read review
