    Nice unit but needs strengthening

    posted by jhgreenstein on 04/28/2013

    Involvement:Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership:more than 1 month

    Pros:
    The price is very good and it really gave my iPhone 4S a good charge. It itself charges up quickly and you can it charge it and use it to charge your phone at the same time.
    Cons:
    The weak point is the plug at the top which plugs into your iPhone. It is only supported by the 4 soldered wires and once it s...

    Like listening to music under water!

    posted by jhgreenstein on 04/26/2013 Certified Owner

    Involvement:Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership:more than 1 month

    Pros:
    Not expensive and seem quite well made. The button control stops and starts the music. They stay in my ear unlike other ones I've tried.
    Cons:
    Really a waste of time as the sound is so bad that it's painful having a conversation with them. I tried them a few times when ...

    Buy SKU 105711 instead

    posted by jhgreenstein on 04/17/2013 Certified Owner

    Involvement:Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership:1 week to 1 month

    Pros:
    Nice looking but can't see any advantage of these over other and cheaper models that DX sells for 5-6 dollars
    Cons:
    Sound quality is dissappointing, similar to those in the $2-3 range. Sound is muddy and I found that I had to pull them out of ...

    less than half Apple's price and seems quite well made. It has the encoder chip that enables it to work with the iPhone4S BUT .....
    Cons:
    You can only watch videos and photos that are in your camera roll and only as a slideshow!

    Unbelievably annoying device

    posted by jhgreenstein on 04/17/2013 Certified Owner

    Involvement:Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership:1 week to 1 month

    Pros:
    The price is reasonable for such devices, the picture on the screen seems pretty good and it has a nice autostart feature which operates when the engine is turned on and stops when you switch off the engine.
    Cons:
    What's so annoying with this device is trying to get it to actually work. The menus are maddening, they tell you to press butto...

    Very neat device

    posted by jhgreenstein on 03/15/2013 Certified Owner

    Involvement:Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership:more than 1 month

    Pros:
    I really like this unit. I'm not sure of the real capacity as I haven't tested it but it holds it's charge well, doesn't overheat on charging or usage and is compact. The two plugs is a nice touch which meansd you can leave it connected permanently to the l...
    Cons:
    Would have been nice to see a cut-off switch on it. I have another model from DX that does have a switch and I keep it in my pa...

    does the job well!

    posted by jhgreenstein on 03/15/2013 Certified Owner

    Involvement:Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership:more than 1 month

    Pros:
    The balun is actually a one sided balun which means that there is poarity to observe. It's a bit like the difference between a real transformer and an auto-transformer. Having said that it works fine and is excellent for the price. The cable is good as it a...
    Cons:
    The plug is a little flimsy so sometimes need to wiggle it to get a good connection but this happens with many other bnc devices.

    Overall a good buy

    posted by jhgreenstein on 03/13/2013 Certified Owner

    Involvement:Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership:1 week to 1 month

    Pros:
    The unit seems well built, the casing is sturdy and the cabling is chunky! Setting up the internet side was not difficult. You need to use a cable connection to your router initially and then you can set up the wifi side of things. All pretty straight forward.
    Cons:
    The picture is ok'ish. A bit flat with medium to poor pictures but for the price you can't complain. The manual is horrendous!!

    Good BUT DANGEROUS

    posted by jhgreenstein on 01/11/2013 Certified Owner

    Involvement:Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership:more than 1 month

    Pros:
    This unit is cheap and crimps pretty well. If feels quite well made and is sturdy. The colour makes it stand out in your toolbox.
    Cons:
    The blade at the bottom is VERY DANGEROUS. It's right next to your fingers. It has no protection and I cut myself badly on it. ...

    Excellent unit but CHECK WITHOUT PHONE

    posted by jhgreenstein on 01/11/2013 Certified Owner

    Involvement:Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership:more than 1 month

    Pros:
    These are the best chargers I have bought for my iPhone for a few reasons. 1. They are small 2. They charge pretty fast 3. You can use the iPhone when plugged it without the screen going crazy which happens a lot with other chargers. 4. They are reasonabl...
    Cons:
    I just got 6 units and one exploded when I plugged it in with my iPhone 4s connected. Luckily my phone wasn't damaged. .
