Question: How many wins do you have in this game?

Before buying my iPad, I spent about an hour in the Apple store playing with it.  I knew I'd get some real use from it, and I knew that it met many of my wants for an ultraportable computer, but the tiny underpowered thing costs almost as much as a macbook!Obviously, I laid down my credit card and walked out of the store with it.  The store is near my office but three hours from my home.  I must admit, I had regrets in the three hour drive home.  A $900 10" iPod touch?  Am I nuts?After owning and using it for two weeks, I no longer regret the purchase as much, but I still feel that it is overpriced.  My model is the 64GB with 3G+Wifi.  I spent about $900 including tax to buy it at the Apple store and another ~$60 on "HD" apps including the iWork suite: pages, numbers, and keynote.  I do have an iPhone so I already owned a lot of apps that work with the tablet.I have found myself using it mostly for four things: document viewing for work, email, web browsing, and games.I'm a bit ashamed to admit that I've been using it for games, but I have played several and really enjoyed them.  I'm not a "gamer" at all.  I own a Wii that only gets used for watching Netflix movies on my television.  Video games are usually boring to me.  There are quite a few games designed for adults filled with puzzles and brain teasers that will change your view of computer games.  No matter who you are or how adult you think you are: you will wind up using this thing for games.  It's too fun to play games on it not to.  I recommend Labyrinth 2 HD, Osmos HD, Pinball HD, tChess Lite, and a good Solitare game.Back to getting work done: it's pretty great for email.  I have a work blackberry and a personal iPhone.  I get lots of spreadsheet and other document attachments.  Blackberry is terrible at displaying documents.  Iphone does an OK job.  This thing is a desktop replacement as a document viewer.  It isn't as good as having MS office on a PC, but you can definitely get a great view of a document with a lot of formatting intact.  It isn't really better than iPhone for viewing messages, but viewing attachments on the big screen is worlds better.  The only complaint I have about email is that it lacks the ability to thread conversations and show all email inboxes in one list like the ios4 iphone devices.  It will have those abilities this fall when it gets upgraded to ios4, but for now switching between inboxes is a bit awkward.More on document viewing.The biggest help to me at work is document viewing.  I can carry promotional materials, examples of past promotions, old communications, files for reference, presentations, price lists, spec sheets, manuals, photos, trade journals, books, and any other digital document imaginable and access them all easily when with a customer or simply to find info to make me more effective.  The iPad does not include a file system like finder or windows explorer.  The iWork apps have a documents folder, but those folders are not accessible by other apps.  All of the apps include a shortcut to open a document in other apps, but not having a universal finder app is annoying.  If you are in mail you can choose to open an attachment in Pages then email any changes back to the person, but it goes against the way we have all become accustomed to working on PCs and Macs.  There are file system and viewer apps.  I've tried two I like and one that I highly recommend: Goodreader.  Goodreader gives you a place to organize your files into folders for various projects and info.  It has viewers for office file formats, PDF files, and limited graphics files (sorry, there are no eps, ai, or similar art viewers for ipad that I've discovered yet).  Goodreader allows you to transfer files to the ipad via wifi networking, wifi using a web browser on a PC or Mac, using the USB cable, or using itunes.  Best thing about Goodreader: it's only one dollar.The built-in photos app is great.  I used my mac to convert a lot of documents to jpgs just so I could use the photos app to view and display them.  Integration between the photos app and the iwork apps and mail is great.  Syncing albums between a Mac or PC and the Photos app is a snap.  The photos app is where the "magical" in the ads comes from.  It is a delight to browse images using the app.  I'm sure you can find countless youtube videos demonstrating it if you look.  For under five dollars, you can buy Photogene or a similar app for useful photo editing on the ipad.Web browsing is the other "killer app."  Lots of people complain that iPad doesn't support flash, but I honestly don't miss it.  Most big web sites recognize that you're using an ipad and deliver non-flash versions of videos.  My biggest concern is the lack of RAM in the ipad.  The lack of RAM shows when web browsing.  If you switch between open pages, most of those pages will be reloaded because it doesn't cache much; it can't cache much with only 256mb of ram.  As long as switching between pages, and having them reload when doing so isn't a huge issue to you, web browsing on the ipad using Safari is a desktop-like experience.  I have just recently started using a third party browser called "Atomic Web."  Atomic web adds useful multitouch gestures, tabs, full screen, and adblock to the Safari browser.  I highly recommend Atomic Web for the $2 they charge for it.  It works great.The app store lets you add tons of functionality to your machine.  Count on spending $50+ depending on what you want to do with your machine.  I love the three $10ea iWork apps, the $5 photo editor, the handful of $5-$10 games I own, and the multitude of free periodical reader apps I downloaded.Watching and listening to media in ipad is really great.  The iPod interface looks like an older version of iTunes on a Mac.  Video looks great.  I've always been a fan of desktop itunes for syncing with ipod and iphone.  Ipad is exactly like iphone and ipod when interacting with the desktop.  The built in speakers in ipad are louder and sound better than iPhone and iPod touch.  They are nearly as loud as the ones on my Macbook Pro 13".  The speakers are great for listening to podcasts or watching a movie in bed or in your comfy chair.Google maps and google earth are a desktop-like experience on ipad.Battery life is where ipad kicks laptop tail.  I easily get 8+ hours from a charge.Typing on ipad in landscape mode is about like typing on a netbook; you wouldn't want to write a long document on it but it's fine for email and composing short documents and memos.  It's a lot better than I expected.  Typing in portrait mode is a bit of a chore.You WILL need to buy a case for it.  The "acase" brand ipad case that sells for $26 here at Amazon is a great choice (and the highest rated case on Amazon).  You will not be able to find an Apple case for it.  Apple cannot meet demand for ipad accessories.  The camera connection kit (usb and card reader) are also impossible to find.I'm glad I bought the largest (64GB) model.  I currently only have 25GB free after putting in 20GB of music, 8GB of films, 5GB of apps, and around 2GB of documents.  64 GB is really very ideal, but anything less would be crowded unless you don't plan to use the ipod or video player much.I bought the 3G service for it and don't regret it.  I live in the midwest and ATT has decent service here.  I am paying $15/month (no contract) for 256MB.  2GB is available for $25/mo.  I bought the cheaper plan because I have frequent access to wifi, but wanted the ability to look at email adn documents on the road if the occasion arises.  So far just using 3G for email and very infrequent browsing 256mb is plenty.  I highly recommend buying a 3G model unless you are sure that you will always have Wifi access when you use it.  It's a lot less useful if you can't connect to the web.In conclusion, this thing is very useful and very expensive.  I use it a lot.  I use my PC and my Mac a lot less now.  I carry it to places that I wouldn't consider lugging a PC to.  It allows me to carry a lot more info and digital files than I ever did before.  It makes me more effective and allows me to travel lighter.  Is it worth slightly over $1000 after buying a case and apps?  I'm still not 100% sure.  Do I love it?  yes.

Question: How do you like the computer?

Exactly what I expected, a consumer-class SSD at a good price. My motherboard actually does not support SATA III, so my EVO is actually bottlenecked a bit. TRIM and other such still works 100%, but reaching maximum speeds is impossible. However, this thing is still FAST! I actually notice it being faster than the 128GB Mushkin Chronos I've since relegated to a backup drive (for the crime of being too small), and that drive bottlenecked on my SATA II motherboard too. Windows 8 boots in just over half the time it takes my motherboard to drag itself through the POST and RAID (5, for my three 640GB WD Blues) readouts. Samsung software has an "AHCI is disabled" warning even though it is enabled (I am using RAID 5 on the same storage controller, and RAID does not work without AHCI). Installation was dead simple, and the software is completely optional albeit somewhat useful.Things to note:Write speed is not sustained, the EVOs use a buffer of super-fast memory to write to.When this buffer overflows you lose the advertised maximum and return to write speeds typical of the regular 840The 840 Pro is a superior product in terms of raw performance but you probably don't need an 840 Pro anywayIf you choose not to optimize with the Samsung software, move your pagefile off the SSD if you can help it as pagefiles cause SSD wear.

Question: How is drive?

I purchased one of these drives to replace a drive that died in my parents computers (drive that died was ~5 or 6 year old Maxtor.) I've always been a fan of the Barracuda line and the price was right so I jumped on this drive. My parents need almost no storage to check their e-mail and surf the web so this drive was perfect!

Question: What did the cover look like?

The case was very thin and light. The cover art was very nicely done. The sleep feature worked well. Folding the cover back to rest the mini, however wasn't what I expected. Sometimes it would unfold and felt unstable. Though I loved how light and thin it was, the cover offered little protection to the mini. I was constantly worried about dropping it or breaking the mini. That's just a personal thing, I'm sure, if you have no qualms then there is no problem. I didn't purchase the case as much for protection but when I realized how thin the mini is, I felt I needed something more sturdy. I bought an otter box which I normally hate and use it instead. I feel that it is much more protected and the otter box didn't weigh it down as badly or make it much thicker as I thought it would. Overall, this case has a great look but no protection.

The case was very thin and light. <hl> The cover art was very nicely done <hl>. The sleep feature worked well. Folding the cover back to rest the mini, however wasn't what I expected. Sometimes it would unfold and felt unstable. Though I loved how light and thin it was, the cover offered little protection to the mini. I was constantly worried about dropping it or breaking the mini. That's just a personal thing, I'm sure, if you have no qualms then there is no problem.

Question: How is the camera?

I'm disappointed that the flaws in this, my second Galaxy Tab, are so substantial.  The camera is so bad as to be useless, and watching youtube videos is unacceptable:  if you try to fast forward or rewind, it just freezes.  I hate to say it but my ipad, on the same network, is flawless  by comparison.

Question: How is the bass?

I got these on amazon about a day ago, i got them to work out with, not the best choice i know but i love good sound quality and with a Trusted name like Klipsch that is what i got. The sound is great, good bass nice Sound isolation due to the rubber ear molds. They sit differently then any other headphones iv had and even running on my readmill they have yet to fall out of my ear. I also got them on sale for 55$ due to them being open box from a Vendor on amazon so that was key in buying them also. The one flaw with this product that I see has already been mentioned is that the Cord is very thin... thin to the point that im worried i will break it or pull it loose at some point. Other then that these are great and the sound isolation is very good.

Question: What happened to your keyboard?

Sure laptops are great, but what if it's out of reach or requires you to sit up to get it?  Forget that noise, I have a bluetooth keyboard and a miniPC for my TV so I don't even have to leave my seat.  I can check email, christian mingle account, confirm that the obamacare website is still down, and youtube any how to video from making smores, to making peanut butter smores.  My only complaint about this product is that the keys often become sticky easily and it is very difficult to clean chocolate out form between the keys.

Question: How is the camera?

The image is good, the pan and tilt functions work well, the night vision is very good. With that being said, the camera is useless because mine dropped the wireless connection once per day which required moving it from its location and plugging it back into the router to establish the connection yet again. I wasted 2 hours on hold trying to get someone to help me set this up with my Vonage router so I could view it from work, but no one ever took the call. Do yourself a favor, pay more and buy something that actually works.As usual, returns are painless with Amazon.

Question: How is the quality on the sound?

For the price, these are fantastic speakers. I have a fortune in some high-dollar headphones, but I wanted some desktop speakers to give my ears a break from time to time. These are great for doing just that. I use these for gaming and listening to music and they do a great job. The bass is really good and you can really tweak it and get it thumpin or remove it completely... Great value, I highly recommend these. Best bang for the buck....

Question: Is it remote control?

This remote is great.  It is highly customizable and is easy to use.  Even if you're not computer savy, it is still easy to set up and adjust.

Question: How is the quality?

Short answer: good quality, reasonable price, excellent customer service.I have zero complaints about these cables.  I bought two: one for the XBox 360 and another for the 3D Blu-ray player in the bedroom.  The construction quality is as good, if not better, than the more popular branded HDMI cables. These cables are thick and feel durable.As far as performance goes, I haven't noticed any lag or problems for either 3D gaming or 3D Blu-ray movies.The shipping was fast. The cables came in minimal packaging (no excessive plastic shells to cut through or overload of marketing garbage that tell you zero about the technical specs.The price was what HDMI cables should cost.  I'm not sure why Blu-ray and HDTV manufacturers can't include an HDMI cable with their products; it has to cost about the same to manufacture an HDMI cable as it does to make the set of composite cables they still include for some reason.  Mediabridge seems to have found the perfect balance of quality and cost--I hope they don't change their prices as they gain popularity.I was also surprised to get a thank you e-mail for choosing these cables.  I usually don't like getting e-mails from companies about products, but this one was short and to the point.  It thanked me for my purchase, and listed a customer support number, should I encounter any problems.  There was no mention of their other products or services; no attempt to sell me warranties or anything else I'm not actively looking for.It's nice to see a company put customer service and satisfaction ahead of their investors and shareholders.  It seems that most companies have forgotten their biggest and most important investors are their customers.

Question: How good are the bass?

great for the money and might order again if i needed a quick pair of headphones but even after little time using them my ears get sore. i've had earbud headphones before these are just like many of them , almost all hurt eventually at some point these are better than round plastic knockoffs and work great and sound good, at least has some good base. very cheap price so worth the money they are okay. I still use them, constantly going on walks or waiting time, works fine just ears probably aren't meant to have objects in them nor are they touched often so they are sensitive to the touch and earbuds rubbing on them for a hour will leave your ears kind of sore haha

Question: How is connection?

I am currently using the TL-WDN3200 on a desktop PC.  So far, the speeds have been very good, faster than my old adapter and also the built-in adapter on my laptop.  The signal strength has been consistently strong and I haven't had any outages outside of those that have affected our whole home network.  The USB adapter is small, which is a bonus, although I do feel that on a laptop it would appear larger and more intrusive.  The software/drivers are simple to install and don't come with a lot of unnecessary stuff that will bog down your CPU.  It's a reasonable price and does the job well, really all that you need.

Question: What do you think about price?

So I ordered 3, and two work perfectly fine. One of them, however, causes my cable box to stutter and freeze. Replacing the cable worked out. Strange, because I used the three cables to go ps3-> receiver, cablebox->receiver and receiver->tv. the receiver->tv one repeatably caused issues with freezing/losing sync (screen would go black). annoying!ah, and now it's past the warranty return period too.there's another company that i often buy cables from (name is sort of like "single cost") that warrants theirs for life. but i don't have free prime shipping with them, so i didn't buy there. anyhow, that's something to think about. i note that the price for similar cables there is somewhat lower too. next time i'll think twice.

Question: How is the camera?

Having been involved with photography since I was 10 years old back in the 1950's, I have used every type of compact camera - Nikons, Olympus OM SLR's, Leica CL, Minox, the famous 70's Japanese point-shoot such as Konica, always seeking the maximum photographic flexibility in the minimum package. Playing with the incredibly small Canon SD780 for a few days, it's a good time to take a step back and recognize the amazing technology which has come to us through the digital revolution. There is simply no comparison to the photographic capability which one can now carry hardly noticed in a shirt pocket, including taking high def VIDEOS! Decent pictures at ISO 800 or even 1600. Amazing. Also, Canon listen to customer feedback; their menus and interfaces are simpler and cleaner than some of the other makers. Finally, the price is really very low for the sophistication that goes into one of these babies - the equivalent of about forty bucks in 1970's dollars when the first compact cameras hit the market at much higher prices.There is only one downside - this camera is so small, and the sensor is so small, that 12MP is too many for top picture quality. I would have voted for fewer pixels, 8 MP instead of 12MP - and get lower noise in return. The exposure sometimes leaves blownout highlights. If absolute image quality is your top priority, there may be other Canon's to look at. But if you're not that picky, the results are excellent. The video function works well and I use it all the time since I find a short movie (a few seconds) is a better remembrance of an event than a still photo. Forty three minutes of High Def video on an 8GB card, so who needs a camcorder?Bottom line; The best camera is obviously the one you have with you. So get one of these - no excuse ever to be without it.

Question: How is the bass?

Better than Monoprice 8320!  The bass is deeper and cleaner.  The highs and mids are more colorful.  The bass was enhanced by adding the Comply 400 tips and setting the equalizer setting on the iPod from "Off" to "Lounge".

Question: How is the sound?

I am comparing these headphones to other products people may be interested in.Shure SE110Apple Ear BudsSeinnheiser HD280sSony EX71Skullcandy Ink'dPros:More comfortable than ear buds or closed headsetsExtremely portableInexpensiveExcellent sound quality (recessed mids but excellent balance and richness for the most part)Can hear the outside worldCons:Can hear the outside world, and they can hear youReally need to be broken in for the sound quality to go from amazing to exquisiteOn their own, the PX 100 headphones are extremely comfortable, fit well, collapse for portability, and sound amazing. They are relatively inexpensive and have a beautiful warm, boomy sound that was absolutely shocking when I first put them on. They are the best sounding headphones I have that I can wear comfortably.These headphones have very similar sound quality to the HD280s but tend to make music more enjoyable. While the 280s are more analytical and balanced, the px 100s are more colorful and have more bass. They also do not highlight the highs so much that poor quality audio files are impossible to listen to. These headphones have half the impedance of the 280s which means you are getting richer sound in a more portable package for half the cost- with increased battery life on portables.SE110s are slightly clearer and allow individual instrumentation to be heard better, but their sound quality does not create a balance (favoring the highs) that makes music enjoyable. They are also not comfortable. Both are good for classical music but I think the PX 100s are better because of their warm sound and deep lows, which really brings crescendos to a climactic finish where SE110s always leave the listener feeling cheated out of the final hit.These have the same depth of bass response as the Sony 71s, but are more clear and are not as muddy in the mids and highs.They are about as clear in the highs as apple ear buds (they are better than most people want to think) but also allow for clear bass and do not sound tinny and like someone pushed the right side of an equalizer to max.The Ink'd ear buds are the closest in terms of overall sound to these and cost only a third of what the the PX 100s cost, but are less comfortable, do not stay in your ear, translate the sound of the cord, and only sometimes sound right (you have to have a perfect fit, which is nigh impossible)These are my favorite pair and I only put them away when I *must* be isolated from my environment. They have an amazingly rich, warm sound which adequately plays any music I can throw at it. The clarity in the upper range with older music can lend to the bass overpowering some music. It isn't as noticeable as it is when my Klipsch 2.1 system plays the same song.These are a no-brainer and I liked them more than the KSC75s, portapros, and bose triports I tried.

Answer: go from amazing to exquisiteOn their own

I am comparing these headphones to other products people may be interested in. Shure SE110Apple Ear BudsSeinnheiser HD280sSony <hl> EX71Skullcandy Ink'dPros:More comfortable than ear buds or closed headsetsExtremely portableInexpensiveExcellent sound quality (recessed mids but excellent balance and richness for the most part)Can hear the outside worldCons:Can hear the outside world, and they can hear youReally need to be broken in for the sound quality to go from amazing to exquisiteOn their own , the PX 100 headphones are extremely comfortable, fit well, collapse for portability, and sound amazing. <hl> They are relatively inexpensive and have a beautiful warm, boomy sound that was absolutely shocking when I first put them on. They are the best sounding headphones I have that I can wear comfortably. These headphones have very similar sound quality to the HD280s but tend to make music more enjoyable. While the 280s are more analytical and balanced, the px 100s are more colorful and have more bass. They also do not highlight the highs so much that poor quality audio files are impossible to listen to. These headphones have half the impedance of the 280s which means you are getting richer sound in a more portable package for half the cost- with increased battery life on portables. SE110s are slightly clearer and allow individual instrumentation to be heard better, but their sound quality does not create a balance (favoring the highs) that makes music enjoyable. They are also not comfortable.

Question: How did you like the cable?

Don't let brand name Cable makers convince you that their cables are really that different than this one.I ordered 4 of these, because I always find myself needing a lot and because the price is very good. This product was very light and very thin, and very inexpensive. These cables are not only the most inexpensive ones I've owned, but also the best. The plugs themselves are very smooth and insert and eject very easily, very convenient if you don't have a line-of-sight with the HDMI Input and are reaching around the TV.Whenever friends need HDMI cables, I give them these and tell them to get all their HDMI cables from Amazon.

Question: How do you like the volume?

For the money this headset is great.I have bought several different headsets as I go through them a lot.I find that usually the volume on them is not loud enough and I end up pushing it tighter to my ear or throwing it away. The Panasonic has great volume, in fact I have to turn it down with the control on the phone sometimes. Padded earpiece makes it comfortable to wear for long periods. This is a great buy and I would definately buy another one.

Question: Is the battery good?

Well, have had this thing for a couple of days now.Been doing lots of testing with it in various configurations, drivers, BlueTooth adapters, etc via phone, voip on computer and cell... bottom line is this:SOUND QUALITY (ie: in your ear)- Music : GREAT- Computer Sounds and Video : GREAT- Bluetooth connected calls : Tinny and Shallow; no warmth, fullness or body to the voiceCALL QUALITY (ie: calling someone else on it)- Cell via Bluetooth : Tinny, but liveable.- Computer via Bluetooth : Very Tinny and no mids/lows, no warmth or body to the voiceCALL QUALITY (TO THE PERSON YOU ARE CALLING... the IMPORTANT PART) - TERRIBLE!And I quote here from some of my calls over the past 2 days with it:- You sound like you are talking through a Paper Towel or Toilet Paper Tube- You sound like you are in another universe, and I can hear everything and everyone around you too.Bottom line for me, given the amount of time that I spend on conference calls, and want a comfortable headset, AND more importantly, that the person on the other end of the call can hear me CLEARLY and PLAINLY without sounding muffled, in a well, echo chamber or via a Paper Towel Tube...So far NOT a happy camper with this one,I LOVE design of this, but need a much more superior call quality to the caller, and thats where this one falls short.I may see if its usable for my son on his PS3, but for use in a professional situation... this is a no go.>>>>> UPDATE NOV 7, 2012 >>>>>1. I did try it out with my son's PS3...- It did connect.- It did work within the games for communication to the other remote players in the game- It WILL NOT also work to route 100% of the GAME SOUNDS and GAME AUDIO to the device.  Note:  This is NOT a limitation of the device, its the audio implementation on the PS3 consoles.  To route GAME AUDIO and In-Game Communication to a wireless headset, you need $250-500 bucks for the high end and uber-expensive Turtle Beach rig.2.  After lots of trial and error and comparing notes with those in the office that have one also...- The device that you are connecting it to, and its Bluetooth audio capabilities have A LOT to do with the call quality of it.- Via a computer with NATIVE Bluetooth or an aftermarket Bluetooth USB adapter... its still not going to sound as good as a Plantronics Blutooth device that has a custom audio functionality built in.  My Plantronics BT300M sounds like you are right there as far as your vocals to the person on the other end of the call.  It sounds like you.  It doesn't sound like a highly compressed tin can.  The LG HBS700 on the other hand... you are in a compressed, metallic sounding mode.- The device via a cell phone depends on the cell phone.  I recently switched from an LG handset to a Samsung Galaxy SIII and that made a HUGE difference.  The LG sounded tinny.  The Samsung sounds wonderful and realistic.Bottom line, this thing WEARS like a dream.  Battery life is incredible.  Music plays wonderfully.  Call quality will depend on whatever device you are connecting it to, and even at that, its just trial and error.If LG or Plantronics want a market winner here... THEY NEED TO COLLABORATE!!!  LG for the device, PLANTRONICS for the Call Quality!

Question: How is the touchpad?

Light and manageable. Pairing a snap with provided usb dongle.  Keys are a somewhat hard to press and require some getting used to, just as the minitrackpad.  However, it performs very well once up and running.

Question: What did the bass became?

Hello, This is my first review for the Sony MDR-V6 with CCAW Voice Coil.SoundFirst I would like to mention that these headphones sound pretty amazing. I've had bad headphones in the past that had terrible bass or treble, but for me its very well balanced. The only complaint about sound is that if you play any songs that has a lot of treble in it, it may not sound as comfortable in the high ranges. Some people mentioned about a "boomy bass" and I disagree. I think the bass is completely fine (I still need to go hear some hardcore bass drop of a dubstep though). I like bass a lot and I put my iPod with Bass Boost and it still sounds fine without being "boomy" or "vibrating." I listened with my galaxy s4 and that sounded fine as well.ComfortSome people complained that the headband hurts while others say its comfortable. For me, It was pretty comfortable, but not as comfortable as I thought. At first, it's going to hurt the top of your head for a bit, but after you wear it for a couple of days the uncomfortable-ness goes away. Right now after 1 week, I don't complain about the headband at all. Just like any other over-ears it does get sweaty a bit, so don't wear it for too long unless you have air blowing in your face the whole time :P.BuildThe build is pretty solid, but the plastic on the sides makes it feel slightly cheap, but its not much to complain about. It's well built overall and it's portable which is a plus for me.AccessoriesIt comes with a bag that you can put your headphones in, which is pretty nice and unexpected. Also it comes with a 1/4" screw on. Problem I had with this screw on is that when I took it back out, for whatever reason the 1/8" connector bent in the middle slightly (maybe because I screwed it on too tight or something.) I just bent it back with the 1/4" adapter putting it slightly in and bending it the other way and it was fine.OtherAnother thing I noticed was that the cable end doesn't really fit well into my s4 when it has its case on. I have to shove it in a little bit for it to go all the way in. Because it's also with a metal end(which makes it pretty solid instead of a cheap plastic one) I sometimes have problems connecting it to devices like the ipod and s4. But if you just give it a slight push then it should go all the way in. I wish the 1/8" was a tiny bit longer so that it wouldn't have to be shoved in.Pros:- Great sound quality. For the most part balanced.- It's actually quite comfortable once you get used to it.- It's portable- It has the coiled wire so it doesn't tangle so easily- It comes with a convenient 1/4" cable. I use it for my P-155 Yamaha Digital Piano.- It doesn't squish your ears, but isolates a lot of sound if you have sound running through the headphones.- Solid Metal endingCons:- High range in treble can get screechy (but that's if you go really high)- It is uncomfortable at first to the top of your head.- The wire is a little bit too long.- The metal end sometimes makes it uncomfortable to insert into devices like the iPod or your phone.tl;dr: it's very good product for headphones under $100.
