These are the Latest and the Greatest

I have owned GE, Uniden, Panasonic, AT&T, Vtech and a number of other models from the outdated 49Mhz to the 5.8GHz range and now DECT 6.0. I had a set of Uniden TRU8860 5.8GHz which were some of the best I had owned, except they did have range drops and often failed around my Wi-Fi office technology. I thought the review on the Panasonic KX-TG9334T set was persuasive enough to give them a try. I concluded I have a newer Panasonic KY-FPG391 5.8GHz that has performed well and there would be little risk. However, after setup, I knew I had made a poor choice. If you have never owned recent Uniden technology, I suppose Panasonics would be pie in the sky perfect as some reviews have indicated. However, for me as an aficionado of phone technology, I was left sorely frustrated.

I packed the Panasonics back in the box after noting a long list of problems found under that product and returned to Amazon. I proceeded to purchase the back-ordered Uniden 3080-3 DECT 6.0 which from what I read is an immense upgrade over the TRU8860 series. Certainly a visual feast.

I took delivery of the Uniden 3080-3 DECT 6.0 on May 27th, 2008. WOW is all I can say. Nothing on the market compares! Perfect in every way. Sleek design, features, graphics, and sound. Have vision problems? No issue with this phone, BIG easy-to-read display. I do have a little loss of hearing, again no problem, these units have great volume in handset and especially through the 2.5mm headset out jack. The Panasonics had no volume at all with a headset.

The review below who complained about no speed dial does not understand the way phone technology has changed, effecting all manufacturers. The Uniden 3080 can store a 50-station shared phonebook, that once entered in one handset is available on all handsets. Simply hit the first letter of the name and the green button and it dials. This is the ultimate speed dial, works wonderfully. Plus you can assign a number of custom rings to each number, so when a call comes in from a person in your phone book, you know who it is by the ring.

I can understand the complaint about the LCD not lighting up when the Uniden 3080 phone rings. This is the only personal preference I would change, however I simply turned the LCD contrast all the way up and chose the yellow comb wallpaper and can see the caller ID perfectly on the cradle. The thinking behind this design is that a person will pick up the handset to review the caller ID. Once you pick-up the phone off the base, the LCD does light up. I did send a notice to Uniden about changing this feature.

The volume is very good compared to anything Panasonic makes and equal to my previous TRU8860. Unless a person is deaf and requires an assisted hearing amplifier, the volume is exceptional from both the handset and a 2.5mm headset. I use both and I DO have hearing loss and volume is critical feature for my use.

Another review below said this Uniden series is not expandable. Actually, it is expandable, up to 6 handsets which I have functioning just fine. However, if you buy only the 3080, it is not expandable. Only the 3080-2 and 3080-3 are designed to expand. Therefore if you think you want more than 1 handset, make sure you know the facts.

I do not have any hissing, static, or buzzing with this system. There is a rare but occasional hollow echo, but nothing that detracts from its use or otherwise advanced design. If there are any disconnect issues with this series, it is an isolated defect with a problem unit, whereas I have used my set all over my one acre property without one drop or failure.

Take it from a phone perfectionist, carefully consider the Uniden 3080 and its immense offerings first. Yes, they cost a bit more, but you will be very happy and your visitors will marvel at the mere ergonomic site of them.

I have now had all three generations of Bedphones.  The present iteration is the best so far, and I'm glad to see that they are listening to customer feedback to improve their product.  The 2nd generation Bedphones wore out too quickly -- I went through a couple of pairs in a year's time -- and I think this was probably because the cables were too thin, or perhaps my head is too thick!  This new generation feels much sturdier, everything about them.  I wish there was an option without an in-line button as there was in prior generations -- I've started music up a couple of times in the middle of the night by rolling over onto the button.  Packaging is super.  My pair of generation 3 Bedphones had the R and L channels reversed, which probably would bother few people, and in any case is easily dealt with by bending the memory wire around on each side.

Sound quality is not audiophile-grade spectacular - you won't get deep bass extension, for instance - but considering the size of the earpiece, it's surprisingly good quality.  These don't block out ambient sounds much, if at all, so if that's what you're after, these won't do it.

If you're like me, though, there's really _nothing_ like these.  I've looked for alternatives, and haven't found anything to compare.  These are the best, most comfortable option for a side-sleeper who likes to fall asleep listening to music.  They stay in place well even when rolling from side-side, and don't dig into your skin or ear canals like earbuds do.  Again, sound quality is surprisingly good considering just how thin and small these are.

I'm grateful that this product exists.

These classics are between the new trends and the earlier China Dynasty kick'em up action spectacular. Production values take a leap and plots make more sense while the energy's still there. Prints have been resurrected surprisingly smoothly. Not many layer to the character, but what's on top is what martial arts get a kick out of. These double feature DVDs are their own genre,well worth experimenting with.

I really enjoyed reading these, even if they are outdated. It's really nice to see some of the things mentioned in here as predictions ended up coming true later on.

Finally had a chance to compare these to some other models. Dude, these headphones are fantastic. HUGE upgrade from the ones that were included with my smartphone and comparable to other, much more expensive models. The bass is powerful, the vocals are clear, and the noise cancelling is quite good. I mean, I can sit here and tell you how good certain characteristics are, but really what makes these great is that I can actually feel the music and am connected to it. I can hear the depth of the music and there are dimensions that I had never noticed before because of bad headphones.

I can only think of one thing that would improve these - the nylon cable is great because it makes wire management easy, but whenever anything brushes up against it (e.g. your shirt) it is audible in the earbud. Of course this depends on how high the volume is set. But, it's so minor and nitpicky and doesn't really take away from how much I love these things.

The Bach Guild's new releases -- The Big Great Symphony Box Volume 1 and 2 -- both offer a mix of re-releases from their previous offerings plus enough new material to keep loyal followers of the series (like me) interested. If you haven't been buying these boxes in their composer-focused releases, these sets are both no-brainers.

I have been buying the sets from the beginning, so for me there are a lot of repeats here. But I still found enough tantalizing new material to get me to happily plunk down 99 cents apiece for these collections.

Here is a track listing of this set, Volume 1, with an indication of composers and repeats, where applicable:

1-4  Dvorak No. 9 - "From the New World"
5-8  Beethoven No. 3 - "Eroica" (repeat from Big Beethoven Box)
9-12  Beethoven No. 5 (repeat from Big Beethoven Box)
13-16 Mozart No. 41 - "Jupiter" (repeat from Big Mozart Box)
17-20 Mendelssohn No. 4 - "Italian"
21-24 Schubert No. 5 (repeat from Big Schubert Box)
25-28 Schubert No. 6 - "Little C major" (repeat from Big Schubert Box)
29-32 Haydn No. 101 - "The Clock" (repeat from Big Haydn Box)
33-36 Haydn No. 103 - "Drumroll" (repeat from Big Haydn Box)
37-41 Beethoven No. 6 - "Pastoral" (repeat from Big Beethoven Box)
42-46 Berlioz - Symphonie Fantastique
47-48 Schubert No. 8 - "Unfinished" (repeat from Big Schubert Box)
49-52 Schubert No. 9 - "The Great" (repeat from Big Schubert Box)
53-56 Beethoven No. 7 (repeat from Big Beethoven Box)
57-60 Mendelssohn No. 5 - "Reformation"
61-64 Mozart No. 40 (repeat from Big Mozart Box)

So for me, the new material included four symphonies, all performed by the winning combination of the Vienna State Opera Symphony and Vladimir Golschmann: Dvorak 9, Mendelssohn 4 and 5, and the Berlioz "Symphonie Fantastique". While I never have cared all too greatly for the Berlioz, I enjoyed the others quite a bit.

The previously released symphonies are winners, especially the surprisingly (for me) dynamic Beethoven recordings by Sir Adrian Boult with the Philharmonic Promenade Orchestra.

Technical quality is good (although I have only listened to the new-to-me tracks -- I trust the others are the same as in their original releases). Bitrates are variable and average 186-284 kbps. Total download size for those who dare is 995 MB for 9.3 hours of music.

Recommended for anybody at the introductory price. A great deal even for Bach Guild followers.

The new Backstreet Boys Cd is their best to date. I love the new grown up sound and the stong meaning behind them. Also I love the melodies and how harmoize at exactly the right time. They also offer old sounds with new bring a new crowd to the table. Also some songs are mainstream stuff you hear alot now but mixed with the BSB sounds.

  Backstreets Back Alright!

After the excellent Hexes For Exes, Moving Units have quietly returned with three new songs on Tension War. Make no mistake, Moving Units have refined their sound even further and Paris, New Mexico, Liquid X, and Until She Says are some of the best songs they have ever done. Its a shame they didn't make a whole album in the style of these new songs because they are the best tracks from this band yet. While I wasn't particularly a fan of their first album, if you are a fan of Hexes for Exes like myself then you need to get this EP because this is some of the best modern dance rock you can find outside of terrible mainstream bands. Great dark melodies, funky bass, and shimmery guitars are what you'll find on this EP. Its 1984 again. Let's party.

Recommended for fans of bands like The Faint.

This CD series is super. If you really want to understand New Wave or simply love it, you can't get much better than this series or the Classic Alternatives Series offered by SPG.
So if you're like me, a New Romantic who cannot accept the past as dead, you'll cherish all of these tunes. Max Headroom couldn't be happier.
