Sony Ultimate MDR EX90LP headphones with wide dynamic range

Childrens Toy Shop > Electronics > Accessories
from: Sony

August 22, 2006
Having used these headphones for only a few minutes I found the sound quality not as good as other Sony headphones which is disappointing considering the price of them.
My previous headphones were the Sony MDR-EX32 which are far superior and less than half the price, (I may go back to using these).
One other thing I have noticed is that the volume I get from my Sony NW-E005 MP3 player is higher using these headphones compared to my previous ones. I understand that european regulation limits the upper volume level on MP3 players sold in the UK.
I would also recommend the Sennheiser MX 55 headphones, not as bassy as the MDR-EX32 but better overall than the MDR-EX90LP.

I-nique Exec Soft Napa Leather Case cover For Sony Walkman (NWA-800 / NWZ-815 series)

Childrens Toy Shop > Electronics > Accessories
from: i-nique

I found that this leather case fits my Sony NWZ818 perfectly. I bought them both at the same time and once the player is in the case it never needs to come out again! All buttons and jacks are accessable, including the 'hold' button. I agree that it probably is a bit overpriced but then it's a decent soft leather case providing full protection (with built in screen protector) for the player. Recommended every time.

Sennheiser RS120 Headphones Black/Grey

Childrens Toy Shop > Electronics > Accessories
from: Sennheiser

July 10, 2006
Sennheiser - I regarded them as a good name for headphones based on my experience with them in the 70s - a bit dearer than the "chunkies", but, from personal useage, worth it..but alas...
Tuning and volume control wheels embedded in the earpieces feel, and are, poor and cheap, ditto saddened by the sound quality - if you can get it 'just right'!?! - sadly, I remained frustrated.
The sound reproduction is not that(italics) impressive either.
Although I'm not 'made of money', these are so disappointing that I'm already thinking about replacing them. :-(

Belkin iPod Nano 3G Leather Folio - Black/Chocolate

Childrens Toy Shop > Electronics > Accessories
from: Belkin Components

October 21, 2007
This cover was purchased to protect my Nano when connected to my car radio using the iPod charging and connecting cable. Subsequently the Nano just lies in the console well with all the clutter getting scratched. It is impossible to use the cover and charge the iPod at the same time. It is well made and looks good but with a little more thought could have been a perfect cover. Nowhere in the product description did it allude to the iPod cable access being covered.

Sennheiser HD215 Closed Back Headphone

They have arrived today, and for this first half the day, I can say I'm really pleased with them. A nice leather carriage bag is included in the box as well.

I'm working in a silent office where you can barely hear any sound other than keyboard and mouse clicks, so the insulating quality was the most important thing for me. I can say this product is pretty well-insulated, it's so silent that if I wear it for an hour and if I don't listen to anything, I start experiencing hallucinations.

Sony MDR-V150 Headphones with Reversible Housing for DJ Monitoring

Childrens Toy Shop > Electronics > Accessories
from: Sony

July 07, 2003
For years I have had a pair of Sony CD550 headphones which have just packed up after a vast amount of use. I bought these MDR-V150 to temporary replace them and also to use in the workplace. They are good value for money, but they will never replace the CD550 phones. The cable is far too short for me and needs an extension lead, and they are very uncomfortable after wearing them for 20 minutes or more. They sound Ok for what they cost, but I do not think I would purchase another pair unless Sony upgraded them to sound better, and feel better. If they did this and increased the price, I would be interested, but you pay for what you get with these phones. Sony could do better than this, but for the price, they are worth considering if you want a cheap ... Read More:

MicroVillage -PANASONIC CGA-DU14 CGA-DU12 CGA-DU21 Battery

Plugged in my Sony NWA800 series player and it merrily charged for 30 mins before there was a bang and the power charger was dead. The unit itself felt hot to the touch and is now completely defunct. Not a recommended product at all.

Griffin RoadTrip 4031 - FM Transmitter & Charger for iPods - Black

Childrens Toy Shop > Electronics > Accessories
from: Griffin Technology

July 26, 2006
I bought this as a secondary unit to an iTALKonline transmitter, and while I have probably been spoilt by that piece of kit, I honestly wasn't expecting the Roadtrip to be as bad as it is.

Firstly, the basic fitting is not quite long enough to fit into the cigarette lighter and allow me to actually see and use the ipod. Due to the angle of the socket in my car (Audi TT), the ipod ends up pointing towards the floor, making it difficult to change tracks etc.
Also, the extension arm supplied is way too long and the unit is too heavy to be supported safely by it, leaving it sticking out too far and waggling around.

Secondly, the sound quality is dreadful - far too quiet and when the volume is wacked up to compensate, the resulting ... Read More:
