Labtec axis 301

Advantages: Cheap
Disadvantages: None

...Being an online gamer i decided to go out and purchase a headphone set so i could talk in person to my fellow gamers instead of typing into the games chat all the time (which often resulted in me letting my team down as i would get shot whilst typing) The main criteria for my purchase was... 1. Needed to be hands free with a mic attached to the headset. 2. Needed to have a long enough cable to reach my sound card without being streched. 3. Needed to be cheap, i didnt want to pay silly prices for something i would only use 3 times a week!!. Enter the Labtec axis 301, it is all of the above, it was simple to setup and came provided with a 2.4 metre cable which is ample for me. The product also supports speech recognition although i havnt had the oppturnity to test the accuracy of this feature yet and a 1 years manufacture...

Labtec headphones

Advantages: Light on the ears , built in mike, super sound
Disadvantages: Wires can get in the way.

...noticed how funny it is, to listen to someone singing along , out of tune , with their headphones on?. I recon it's because they cant hear their own voice, but they still think they're better than the winner of X factor!.haha ?. Not. But with these on and the mike working as loud as the music, you hear yourself and can adjust the pitch of your voice to match the song being played. (So you'll sound a whole lot better!) General sound quality is superb. Mid and high end sounds are first class, but the lower bass sounds of today's music will have the Labtecs struggling a bit. Media player 9 or 10 will let you adjust the sound quality to suit the environment that the sounds will be listened to. I've set the media payer to normal speakers, and adjusted down the bass until no distortion can be heard. You'll find nearly all 80's music fine, but...

Review of Labtec AXIS-502

Labtec

Advantages: easy to use, cheap
Disadvantages: no picture rotation

...the laptop can cause wearing of paint. The webcam, firstly requires 'labtec' programming to be installed. The disc accompanies the webcam in the box is very easy to install. Instructions appeared on screen, and the process roughly 5 minutes to complete. Once the programme is installed, the camera is ready to use, and attaches to the laptop via a USB port. The webcam can be used to take pictures, videos, internet messaging, or voice messaging. To capture pictures and videos, the small webcam icon in the task bar needs to be left clicked once. A small window of options will open. Quick capture then needs to be clicked on. This will open arectangular window in the middle of the screen. The top section of the window will show the view of the camera. The bottom section enables you to access the options. There are two large buttons on the bottom...

Labec headsets arent all bad it seems

Advantages: High quality sound an mic
Disadvantages: only one ear headphone

...People that have read some of my reviews will remember my damning review of the Labtec Gaming Fx:1 headset and the experiences of this headset put me off buying another Labtec headset. Now you might be saying how can you do another review on a Labtec headset if you never got another one? Well the answer is I never got another one, my dad got me another one as a present :s. He didn't know all the trouble with the 1st Labtec headset but I decided to give this headset a go because it was quite a thoughtful gift and it looked like Labtec had learned their lesson with "comfortable behind the ear" style headset and made a normal headset. I started using this headset with a bit of a closed mind but after the 1st couple of hours I was in love with it. The Axis 711 is a superb headset! Nothing like its "troublesome little brother" the Labtec...

Numark Axis 9 The best value cd deck for rookies and bedroom Djs

Advantages: Consistent, All main effects (scratch + key lock that WORKS)
Disadvantages: No built in memory

...I dj 2-3 times a week and often take my equipment in and out of venues so I need equipment that is durable and reliable. Ive had a pair of axis 9's for a few years now. They have turned out to be quite reliable and consistent where more expensive models weren't .. very important if you dj'ing at a gig. If you are a laptop Dj the Axis 9's works fine with all the major software, VDJ, Rockit, Traktor etc. There are some new features on the axis 9's along with all the standard feature on the axis series. Pitch-lock (called key-lock on numarks) is one of the most useful features I use and in my opinion axis 9's do this much better than others in a similar price range like 1200DZ or CDJ 200. They have very decent effects that are really easy to use, most notably, the scratch function which is a direct improvement from previous models like...

Six Axis Dosent Provide A BIg Shock!

Advantages: Six Axis Feature Is Good!
Disadvantages: Dualshock!

...The PS3 Six Axis Wireless Controller is a revolution in the gaming but is not as good as the wii remote and how it reacts to the game. I am glad that they kept the design the same but feel that it should have the range of features the wii does to make it even better. I feel the best part is the fact that it is rechargeable and will last for about 10 hours of game play and can be charged from the PS3 system in less than an hour. It is really top quality and a great revolution in the world of gaming. The new trigger buttons are a really great addition and the games like FIFA 2008 change the button to R2 as sprint because of the ease and control that you now have over the trigger button. The poor feature of the controller is the dual shock which really does need to be included in the new version of the controller but the cost maybe...

Review of Sony Official PS3 SIXAXIS Wireless Controller

PS3 SixAxis

Advantages: +Lightweight +Great battery life +Motion-sensing
Disadvantages: -No rumble

...The SixAxis controller is the standard controller for the PS3 at the moment. In the east (and possibly America) a new version has been released which has a rumble feature. This product will be out in the UK around about springtime. The current model lacks rumble capabilities. This may seem a bad thing, but you really do get used to it, I don't miss rumble at all now although I might buy the dualshock3 (the rumble version) when it comes out in the spring, as it's bound to add a bit to the experience of playing a game, but its nothing major. The lack of rumble is the ONLY possible negative I can think of for the sixaxis, although as it doesn’t affect me much I don’t really see it as a negative (although some might) The controller uses bluetooth to connect to the ps3, you plug it into the ps3 by the lead, press a button in...

Labtec keyboard

Advantages: Cheap and effective.
Disadvantages: Shows dust

...I have been using this keyboard for about a year now, and it has performed as any keyboard would be expected to; It has a full set of working keys. Not particularly demanding requirements, but it's the price that really sets this keyboard apart from the rest. Presentation: The labtec standard keyboard comes in black and is straight and very geometric in design. It offers no curves on which to rest your hands for comfort when typing. However, for me, this has not been an issue. The figures on the keys are printed in white and stand out easily against the black base coat. In the top right corner of the keyboard are the the num, caps and scroll lock lights, which are lit up green when the according buttons are active and stand out brightly against the dark surrounding. In addition, there is a small Labtec logo above the lights which...

Review of Labtec Standard Keyboard Plus - keyboard

Lovely Labtec

Advantages: Nice to use, pretty, useful features
Disadvantages: None

...I was given a Labtec Ultra-Flat Keyboard for Christmas by my other half (he knows me well enough to know I'd be thrilled with this). He knew that I'd been wanting a new keyboard for a while, and specifically wanted one that was more like a "laptop keyboard", i.e. flat and with 'clicky' keys, and this is exactly what I got with this keyboard. Made by Labtec (who cite themselves as "a leading provider of value-priced peripherals and accessories for computing"), the Ultra-Flat keyboard does exactly what it say on the tin. It is less than a centimetre in depth, and also only around 38cm across, so it is ideal for someone with limited desk space. The other advantage of it being flat (and what I would call slate-grey in colour, with black keys) is that it looks great. It goes very well with a flat screen monitor, especially a similarly...

MusicMan Axis Review

Advantages: Great for smaller hands. Lightweight. Easy to play.
Disadvantages: Floyd Rose Trem. Hard to get parts

...I won't bother boring you with the specs of this guitar, if you are looking to buy it you will probably already know them already! Just for reference, the model I have is the orange quilt top with maple fingerboard. The Axis has a Floyd Rose, as opposed to the Super Sport which I believe is more akin to a fixed bridge. I am not keen on Floyd Rose trems due to the extra hassle with tuning and changing strings, but that is pretty much all I can fault with this guitar. The neck is absolutely incredible, especially for someone with smaller hands. It is my favourite guitar to play, as it suits my hands so well with its narrow neck and short scale, it's much easier than guitars such as PRS and Jacksons of similar price, which have wider necks. I find the MusicMan does not produce particularly clean sounds when amplified; that is to say...
