Sleek Audio SA6 Wireless Bundle Review

The headphones alone are excellent--they have great frequency response and presence. I am not a technical type but I do own Etymotic ER-4's and these sound better to me.
These use flexible ear pieces like all other earphones in this category. They eliminate a lot of ambient sound but may take some getting used to if you have not used this type before. They come with several size ear pieces and I suspect most everyone will find a size they are comfortable with.
The wireless transmitter and receiver works well and allows me to use my I-pod without a dangling wire. The earphones can be used as a normal wired type or the wire can be removed and used with the wireless transmitter and receiver--the headphones sound exactly the same to me, either way. This is surprising, as normally wireless introduces sound quality erosion.
I do get some occasional very short dropouts in sound in the wireless mode if I have my I-pod in my pants pockets but have had no problem if I keep it in a top pocket. Line of site presents no problem--I have used at 30 feet with wall in the way from my stereo receiver and my PC. These are superior to other wireless products I have used that can not compete in terms of range.
The wireless receiver can hang in front or over the back of your head. It is a little large and a bit clumsy if you like it hanging in the front--so I have become a back of head hanger.
The on/off switches on the receiver/transmitter are a little small and you need to be careful not to hide the light when you turning them on and off.
I have not run out of charge after using 8 hours--I have seen other reviews that indicate you can expect 8-10 hours.
These headphones sound as good to me as my Etymotic at close to the same price--this wireless option makes these my first choice.

Soundolier Duo/Maestro Speaker Lamp & Wireless Transmitter Review

Soundolier Duo/Maestro Speaker Lamp and Wireless Transmitter
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I've been hooking my tv up to my stereo since the seventies. Yes that means I'm an old fart! I'm one of those guys that has enjoyed electronic gadgets and good sound since we called it Hi-Fi.
This speaker system had a number of things going for it right away. It requires a small amount of assembly, little or no setup, it is about as stealthy a system as you'll find while performing fantastically, it was reviewed favorably by the people that write about home theatre, and the price through Amazon was incredibly low.
The hidden bennie is that because it's wireless, and they're very stylish, they can be the first step in redecorating the living room ( happy wife) as well as the final step for putting together the home theatre without really looking like a surround setup. What a concept!
Because of their stylish good looks, and superior performance as speakers, you won't find a better one for the average living room (mine is only 11.5 ft X 15 ft). One speaker can do both channels if you're on a budget. I bought 2 (both with wireless maestro transmitters) so once the new wears off I'm gonna do some experimenting.
The only shortcoming (and this is only probably in my setup) is the floor switches and power to the speaker amps is on the same cord (I'm going to set them up on an X-10 setup for convenience) and the floor switches seem to attract the admiration of my dog. I got them zip tied to the stems right now.
In closing, the looks and wireless archetecture make these a sure thing ticket to wedded bliss, and outstanding performance make them a must buy.

Dvi To HDmi Over CAT5E Mini Extender Review

Dvi To HDmi Over CAT5E Mini Extender
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have finished trying out the DVI extender I bought. What I have is Windows 7 running on a Nvidia GeForce 9400 GT video card. The 9400 has a DVI output as well as VGA to my Dell SP2208WFP monitor. The monitor's native res. is 1680 x 1050 which I use. I bought fifty feet of CAT6 wire to use and I already had a DVI to HDMI 25' cable as my standard.
Using the 25' cable, my nvidia control panel see my TV set as a Zoran HDMI TV and set the res. to 1080i or 1920 x 1080 @ 30Hz. Picture is solid with good color. Looks just like my dell monitor. When I switch to the DVI extender using the CAT6 50' wire, the nvidia control panel see the DVI extender as a DVI extender. The control panel shows the max res. at 720i. I can manually load more resolutions along with their frequencies (refresh rates) but they don't work. Nothing shows on the TV with the other rates and resolutions. They range from 29Hz to 60hz at different resolutions. I have tried them all. And really the 720i does not work because there are color sparkles on the screen, so the picture is unusable and unwatchable. To get true solid color I have to switch to 480i.
I do realize that to be real fair to the DVI extender I should have used a 25' cat 6 cable but the box does say it will work at a range to 130' or 80'. I will try to sell it but I can't list it as the company did because as far as I can tell the extender does not work at its printed specifications.

So that is my report. Thanks for asking about my experience with the SIIG DVI to HDMI cat6 extender. I don't recommend it for High Def. pictures.
Aloha.

Acoustic Research HDP100 HD Powerlink Audio/Video Transmission System (Black) Review

Acoustic Research HDP100 HD Powerlink Audio/Video Transmission System (Black)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Like all powerline products, how well it works depends on the wiring in your house. I have both boxes (transmit and receive) on the same circuit, going from the front of my living room to the projector in the back. Picture quality is great and looks the same as with a long HDMI cable. I have measured it pushing nearly 50 Mbps of Blu-ray data with no trouble.
I use a projector, so I cannot speak to how well it passes audio through. I have also not tried the IR pass-through.
There are a couple of downsides. The boxes run pretty hot, even staying warm when on but not in use. Each box has its own power switch. I have mounted the boxes in locations not convenient for turning on and off (switch only, no IR) and it bugs me that the standby state runs warm, sucking down electricity 24/7. Also, AR/Audiovox customer service is lacking, as they were no help with seeking stand screws that were supposed to be included, but were left out of the box. Their response: "Our apologies but we don't carry parts as we only do basic troubleshooting and in-warranty exchanges for the whole unit. But you can visit our major dealers that carry our line of products....and check if they have the part you're looking for. Also check other electronic shops/stores within your area that carry suitable replacement parts that may fit your unit."

TEKKEON IA1000 MYTUNE(TM) FM TRANSMITTER & CAR CHARGER Review

TEKKEON IA1000 MYTUNE(TM) FM TRANSMITTER and CAR CHARGER
Average Reviews:

Fair product. Works fine when I play most musical genre except hard rock/metal. For some reason it creates some static when hard rock/metal is played. It also doesn't have an option to not charge the ipod while playing. I'm not sure if continually charging your ipod while it plays is good for the overall battery life. The up side is that I don't have to carry hundreds of CDs in my car. Now I only carry my ipod and the tuner. Overall I am fairly satisfied with it, but will probably get another brand in the future.
