Altec Lansing - AHS-502 (Headset)

Advantages: Cheap..
Disadvantages: ..and not that great!

Judging the packaging alone, the Altec Lansing AHS-502 appears to be an impressive and expensive headset. When in reality it costs a mere £19.95 (including VAT) - the deception goes no further than that though. While it's a big ole set of cans, the quality of the build feels somewhat flimsy. The huge size definitely works against it - although the closed cup design keeps in sound and external noise out, your ears start to sweat after only a few ...
...is attached to the left earpiece by what is essentially a flexible piece of plastic. This can be moved into any position for optimal placement, but the cable doesn't follow the plastic very well, which gives a pretty messy look. Microphone recording quality was a saving grace overall, as my voice was picked up loud and clear above background noise. Music playback was less impressive however and lacked detail at high and low frequencies. Although ...

Review of Altec Lansing AHS 502 Headset

Clear sound and a light design

Advantages: Does not ruin your hairstyle
Disadvantages: Need some time to get used to them

These light headsets are worn hanging on the ears, much like glasses are worn, but ofcourse at the back of the head. The microphone may be positioned so that it captures to voice of the person properly. The sensitivity of the microphone may be adjusted from the controls which are placed about a meter down from the headset. The long lead is really appreciated as it enables the headset to be connected to a computer which is placed somewhat far away. ...
...unit, about a meter down the wire from the headset. A common problem with headsets is for those who have speakers as well. Sometimes one needs to use the headset, as when talking to a friend and at other times one prefers the speakers as when listening to music or listening with a group. I solved this problem by using a 3.5mm jack splitter and connecting both the speakers and the headset to the computer using this splitter. In this configuration, ...

Universal Serial Bust Warmer

Advantages: Loadsa uses if your bored
Disadvantages: Why oh why did you fry her?

Introbustion --- --- The introduction of the USB port for computers has galvanized working concepts that now has become reality. For avid users of all wired gadget types to USB hub contraptions, the office surely is a minefield. The amount of time-management spent offloading and reloading gadgetry objects of not that importance must be deceptively long and particularly dangerous if you are not that agile while moving amongst the jungle of wires. ...
...consumers, giving them reasons to buy such whimsical gadgets that would only help in adding bigger changes of having a trip to the A&E - I operate in a paperless office and now intend doing the same to wires. I'm nearly there apart from silver obsolete USB 'drink warmer'; it flashes as me more so since the nights have drawn in. It spends most of its existence finding ways of falling off the workstation. I've used it three times and found it blatantly ...

Review of Dream Cheeky USB Cup Warmer & Cup

Great Headset

Advantages: Clear sound
Disadvantages: None

...Headset When I purchased my Logitech webcam, this Logitech Dialog 812 Headset was on a discounted price. My old headset 's microphone was dead at that time so I decided to buy this headset. The Look The first time I used this Logitech Dialog 812 Headset was when I was having a conversation with my sister online. She complimented me on my new and nice headset but she said I could have looked like an aircraft pilot with it if I wore white tops ...
...Logitech Dialog 812 Headset is wider than other headsets that I have seen but it is considerably lighter. It is designed like a double band at the top but it gets narrower at the sides. The headband is actually adjustable depending on the head's parameter. The point where the double-headband ends at the side of the headset has a push-and-pull joint. If I am using it, I have to set it to maximum length. if my 10-year-old nephew would use it for some ...

Review of Logitech Dialog 812 Headset

Another one bites the dust!

Advantages: Very useful, saves your DS from being covered in fingerprints, cheap
Disadvantages: Easy to lose!

The Nintendo DS Stylus is a very basic product but probably one of the most important parts of a DS and definitely the most essential accessory for any Nintendo DS owners. Every Nintendo DS comes with a stylus so you can make use of the unique and interesting touch screen the Nintendo DS has without leaving hundreds of little fingerprints on it which make everything look really ugly and using the stylus is much more effective. The DS Lite has a slightly ...
...the touch screen of the Nintendo DS. One problem with the stylus though is that they are very easy to lose! It seems impossible to have the same stylus without losing it for more than about 3 months! This problem is even worse if you buy one of the many fancy styluses as they don`t fit in the little slot that is designed to hold them as they are normally too large or even too small so just fall out making it even easier to lose! Overall the Nintendo ...
