Speedlink Medusa 5.1 Surround Sound Headset + amp

Advantages: good quality at a low price
Disadvantages: headband a bit heavy

...Playing a lot of online games I needed something that would compliment my surround sound pc card. Many stereo headsets would have done but you would not be taking advantage of the surround sound features. Not knowing the brand or reading any reviews I went and bought it. And boy am I glad I did !. After ordering it online, it turned up in a box made of thin card board with all the features on the front. When I opened it there was a glossy black box inside, I opened that and was surprised by the packing. All the components were in plastic bag placed on a satin covering and a bow tied around it. This really impressed me as they had taken the time to present something properly. What you get ... Padded head band High-quality microphone Adjustable head band Collapsible, padded earpads made of velvet-like material In...

Surrounded by danger

Advantages: colourful garden
Disadvantages: can be deadly

...surrounded by poisonous plants in my own home. However, human?s death from plant poisonous in Great Brittan is low - the NCP records estimates that one or two people die each year. But what surprise me more that the record shows that about 5000 people a year become ill thought contact with those plants. However the treatment is available but often delayed because doctors are unaware of what poison was. If you suspected poisoning by those plants you should contact the medical assistance immediately and explain them what you were doing and what plants was-to get the help quicker. Bearing in mind that prevention is better then cure, infants and small children should be kept away from colourful berries, mushrooms and house plants and taught that what birds and animals eat are not necessary harmless to them. Parts of plants, such as seeds, bulbs...

Review of Poisonous Plants

One of the BEST choice for sound card.

Advantages: smaller size, usb connection support, 3D sound experience, very cheap, high SNR ratio.
Disadvantages: Does not support all OS, requires very powerful processor& ram,all features not works on XP

...on the data bus speed available for that usb port. In modern days, almost all the PC got USB port 2.0, which enable this sound card to provide the maximum output as in stereo/surround sound 24 bit/96kHz and also can go along with up to 5.1 speaker system, truly amazing isn?t it? But if the USB is 1.1 then the output sound quality drastically drops to 16 bit/kHz in case of surround sound. Creative technology claimed to have SNR 100dB, SNR stands for signal to noise ratio, as the higher the ratio, the less obtrusive the background noise will be and also the clearer output sound will be. So virtually, there will be no noise effect for this sound card. But later it created some controversy, so they changed the theme to SNR ratio is higher than 99db, just to stay on safer side, haha. CONNECTIVITY Microphone in (1/8" mini jack...

Review of Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Surround 5.1

Surrounded by sound.

Advantages: Advantages Cheaper then others of the same quality.
Disadvantages: Disadvantages Cables could be longer.

...I purchased my Creative Inspire PC multimedia speaker system a few years ago, A friend of mine already owned this set and I knew from experience they were good all-round for listening to music, movies and for playing games, And after a lot of searching and comparing price and performance I eventually settled for the same set my friend had. This is a 5.1 surround sound speaker system and so consists of 5 satellite speakers and 1 subwoofer speaker, they come in all black and are a simple and clean cut cubic design with the 5 satellite speakers having detachable mesh grilles, All of the speakers stand flat. (No legs) or can be wall mounted except the Subwoofer... SETTING IT UP????? The instruction leaflet and installation CD is really easy to understand and gives clear step by step instructions on how to set up and position...

Review of Creative Inspire P5800

Beautiful, quiet surroundings

Advantages: Quiet, very close to the beach, good surroundings
Disadvantages: Pool was dirty

...that we came with never had hot water and this resulted in them having to move rooms. There was plenty of storage for clothes etc, but we found that there wasn't many coat hangers so bringing your own is a must. On the back we had a small terrace that stretched the length of the apartment, but wasn't big enough to fit a table and four chairs on. On the other hand, at the front of the apartment, there was plenty of room and we found that this was where we got the most sun, especially in the morning so it was nice to sit out there and have breakfast. Cleaners came in 3 times a week, this may be different during the height of the season but this was the case in October. THE COMPLEX Evi Studios are set in beautiful grounds with many flower beds surrounding it and set amoungst the apartments. The backdrop to our apartments was...

Review of Evi Studios, Rhodes

Hamburg, Germany: great destination!

Advantages: Tons to do and see!
Disadvantages: None really!

...I APOLOGISE FOR THIS REVIEW AS I HAVE PLACED IT IN THE WRONG CATEGORY BUT HAVE ASKED CIAO TO MOVE IT TO HAMBURG CITY NOT WATER SPORTS. I HOPE YOU WILL FIND IT A USEFUL GUIDE TO THE CITY OF HAMBURG ONCE IT HAS BEEN MOVED FROM THE WATERPSPORTS SECTION Hamburg and the surrounding area. Hamburg is one of my absolute favourite cities to visit in the world and I have visited there just about every year for the last 20 odd years when family of mine moved over there. It is the second largest city in Germany and located in the northern part of Germany. How to get there? Flights leave most UK cities several times a day and the most common airlines that fly are British Airways, British Midland and Lufthansa (the National German Airline). I fly regularly from Manchester to Hamburg using Lufthansa which is a great airline...

Review of Hamburg & surrounding area

The all round for surround sound!

Advantages: Many features to enhance sound. Performs well and looks good.
Disadvantages: Perhaps a bit dated these days.

...surround. Although this system can be improved on with the systems that are around today it was a very good system in its day and I am sure it would still hold its own to a certain extent in today?s market. There are many preset sound effect levels such as, (concert hall, rock, hard, clean and rock) as well as the option to set your own favourites so you do not have to be fiddling about with the settings every time you sit down to listen to music or watch a DVD. The radio tuner has 39 presets so you can tune in your favourite stations so they can be found at the click of a button. With a total output of 360W RMS this system is fairly powerful and would be plenty for the average sized living room, in fact I very rarely had it turned up more than half way for a movie and maybe slightly more when listening to music. It did once or twice get...

Review of Technics SCDV290*

PROFOUND SURROUND SOUND

Advantages: Amazing surround sound for the money, Simple setup, Nice looking
Disadvantages: The remote control is wired rather than fully remote, the subwoofer is very heavy

...Time was when the sum total of a computers sound output was a couple of chirrups and a beep! Not anymore. Nowadays the computer has replaced the television as the integral piece of multimedia equipment in many households, with television, DVD and music playback no more than a mouse click away. Of course you have to have the equipment to do justice to these multimedia experiences, a minute CTR monitor and tin-pot speaker setup will offer a rather unsatisfactory result, which is why I found myself looking into a surround sound speaker setup for my computer. After dismissing a 7.1 setup (not enough room) and a twin speaker setup (not good enough sound) I elected for a 5.1 speaker system from Creative labs, I had used their sound cards in the past with good results so it seemed only right to try out their speakers. The 5.1 relates to...

Great Surround Sound Chair

Advantages: Great Audio Quality
Disadvantages: Not robust when treated clumsily

...I got my xRocker around 2 years ago, its all wired in and with a bit of configuration it has the opportunity to deliver a great 5.1 surround experience. The chair has amazing sound quality and the potential to shake the room when wired up to the right audio devices, The bass response and audio quality is amazing and second to none, it wins against almost all gaming chairs of its price and size. although it is a bit spacey it can be folded and although foldable it is a comfortable chair, be careful to ease yourself into it because if leaned fully back the circuit board inside can snap. mine has done so and the unit needed taking apart and re-soldering a little. when treated as a real chair would its comfortable and robust, just don't go back all the way. mine has 2 dials 1 for volume which can deliver around 100 decibels i think...

Review of X-Rocker Gaming

Now honestly, who needs surround on a pc?

Advantages: Good sound, low price, good bass (not the fish)
Disadvantages: Neighbours live too close

...of a tinny sound, but clear bass and proper instruments ring true all the way. ***THE VERDICT*** If you're after a new set of PC speakers and you're happy to not have surround sound then you should definitely consider these. If you were considering buying a docking station for an iPod and you're looking in the £50 price range, save yourself £20 and buy some decent speakers (these ones) If the sound on your TV is pants and you like to use a PS2 frequently then upgrade your sound!!! Buy these speakers!!!! If however you've got money to burn, or you're obsessed with the latest gadgets then go for the equivalent 5.1 system that delivers surround sound. Overall I'd definitely recommend these speakers to anyone who hasn't already got good sound capability ***AND ONE OTHER THING*** The speakers come with a 2 year limited Manufacturer...
