decent while it lasts

First off when I orderd this product, I didn't know what to expect. It arrived on time and worked quite well with my galaxy tab 2, and functioned like it was supposed to. No problems for about a month, only charged it once. N ow the control button just decided to fall off

This mouse is comfortable and worked well for six months.  It was a practical companion to my netbook.  I like it enough that when my first one stopped working, I bought another one.  Now after seven months it has also broken in the same way.  On both mice the cord frayed at the USB connector and the mouse eventually ceased to work.

For this price I would expect a product to work for at least a couple years.  I am going to try a wireless mouse that is about the same price.

I opened this headset for a couple years. For the price, it has decent sound and range. Now, I wore these almost every day at work for hours at a time. I can tell you, the. Battery life was good, especially the first year. It would last for hours without the need to charge it. Although the cups felt a bit tight at first, this may have been from wearing the headphones for hours per sitting. It eventually stretched to fit snuggly on my head.

That being said, the last few month I used tape to keep it together and keep it going. Sadly one side stopped working. I think I got my money's worth.

Let me start with saying I like this mouse a lot. It is exactly what I expected, it is a slightly heavier mouse than others of this size, which I prefer. The RGB lighting on the back is great. The wire is just a plain rubber wire, which compared to the previous' cloth covered wire kinda stinks. I bought this because I loved the previous model of this mouse, which I had for 3 years before it finally began to die. This one hasn't lasted over 6 months. There is a serious problem where it decides to double click rather than single click ever few seconds, which can seriously get annoying while both browsing the internet and playing games.

If this hadn't failed so soon, I would have easily given this a 4 star review, but it doesn't have nearly the longevity it needs.

I have used this for about 6 months, and have been decently pleased with it. Yesterday it just died and will not even turn on. The opening screen comes on when I connect it to the computer, but other than that DEAD ..

Well after calling customer service, (not the brightest person)and updating software it is running again. I am cautiously optimistic.

It was great while it lasted, but unfortunately it died at about the 10 month mark.  I had to go one star because I don't consider this to be the sort of product that should be replaced every year.  During the 10 months that it worked it did great, was able to push good sound out to my ATH-M50X and AKG K7XX on the go.  I used it both with a computer while I was working, and with my phone and tablet.  Then all of the sudden, I plug it up and get a ton of scratchy static and it is now unusable just like that.  I'm contacting Amazon support about a warranty replacement, but I can't seem to find anything official for SMSL either.  I would avoid, there are luckily other devices out there that are still somewhat close in price but considering how many reviews I've now seen with this same problem I'm not sure I'd ever buy anything from SMSL again, not worth the risk.

I bought this back in 2009 for around $1000. It served me well for 6 years, and lots of moving around, heavy art programs, video editing and gaming.

Issues that have come up:
-The plastic grating in front of the fan on the side has all pretty much broken off. Not a big deal as there is a metal grate behind it (although the metal gets pretty hot)
-The included battery crapped out pretty quickly, but I didn't miss it much.
-The power chord that came with it would get really hot and the wire began to break open right by the box, making me concerned about a fire risk and prompting me to replace it with a generic chord about 3 years in (and the replacement STILL stays way cooler than the original did).
-Keyboard started to malfunction around the 3-4 year mark; worked around the issue by buying a USB keyboard for $10, although when the weather gets warmer the old keyboard fritzes and spams me with phantom key-presses.
-Started getting a "chameleon engine out of service" error about 2-3 years in, but I never noticed it effecting anything so I pretty much ignored it.
-Within the last couple of months Windows 7 has started to tell me that it is not genuine and that I needed to re-validate, and now a month later I'm getting messages that I need to reinstall altogether, although the computer still works enough to get me through til I can replace it. Recovery disc doesn't do anything and I can't access the built-in ASUS recovery on startup because my F9 key is one of the ones that's dead on the original keyboard.

For 1k I was hoping it would last me longer than 6 years, but it's become pretty obsolete in terms of gaming anyways, so I guess it's time for me to upgrade.

If you happen to find this laptop for sale even now, the most intensive game I've run on it without any major issues has been Skyrim and Sims 3 (although sims would crash occasionally) and a few MMOs like DOMO and PWI.

It was easy to use and it worked.  The battery life was acceptable.  The controls were simple with no weird quirks.  The audio in the car had plenty of static compared to an aux cable, but came in clearer than pretty much any radio station.

Problem:
If fell apart after three months.  I left it in the car on a hot day and the glue holding the body together gave out.  When I got back to my car the front panel had peeled completely off and another piece was loose.  It still works.  The both buttons and the lcd work fine without the covering.  I'll update this review if the device falls apart more so.

It worked very well for almost a year (I bought it late december) but it has finally died. I was expecting a longer lifespan on this product but it did what I needed while it lasted. It is also a bit loud at full speed, which can kill immersion while gaming, but after using it long enough you sort of get used to it.

Great while it lasted. I have ordered two thinking the first one was bad luck but unfortunately it wasn't luck. The mechanisms will not last and you just might drop the tablet when holding it from the Aduro. Cheap plastic interior lasts about 3 months and this is light use from home. I would look for another option.

I like the size, sound (except the reverb, which Is pretty awful but fortunately I don't need) and feature set of this setup, but after owning it about two years now, I've concluded the reliability is just not there.  First failure was a noisy fan, starting after a couple of months and which ultimately ended up cutting out entirely.  I was able to replace this myself after finding the part, but it's clear they're using the most low budget fans they can find (and there are two mini muffin fans inside that aren't identical).  And now the left channel speaker output has started cutting out, mostly only working when the unit is warmed up and even then somewhat intermittently.  I'm not sure I'll bother to fix it at this point, and instead invest in something better.  It seems to me both the mechanical parts as well as the electrical are ultra-low-budget consumer grade parts that just won't last.

This mouse/keyboard set is pretty good for the price. It is definitely "plug and play" and has a decent range on it. I bought 2 sets, one for each laptop for when we're using them at home or hooked up to the TV for streaming. They worked great for about 10 months, but then I lost the receiver to one and the other is starting to not type letters occasionally, or will only capitalize if I hold down the letter after releasing the shift button. I find both the keyboard and the mouse to be a little loud which is distracting. Overall, especially for the price, I think it's a good buy, just don't think of it as a long-term investment. I find myself debating whether to buy another set and consider these "disposable" or upgrade to something nicer.

This product worked great - after downloading the drivers. At least, for about the first 6 or so months. As soon as I did some basic traveling with it it quickly died and I couldn't get it to even pick up as an external device. It's a decent affordable connection device for several ports and video, just be aware that it's pretty easy for it to become useless if you need to use it outside of a permanent desk setup.

For the price, it's decent.  Got about 6 months of use out of it, and now it no longer powers on at all.

It was a very good headset while it lasted, but it didn't last very long.  I expected this to last longer than 8 months from purchase.  I'm not sure, but I'm wondering if it was faulty construction - the ear piece broke clean off, dangling from just the cord. I threw it away and used the backup one I purchased that was refurbished.  While it was working, the audio quality is very good for gaming and VoIP with friends.  The cord is a bit long, and can get caught up under the wheels of a chair if you're not careful.  The headset is a teensy bit tight, and very air-tight, so you may find it gives you a headache during long gaming streaks (I'm talking 6-10 hours), and I'm pretty prone to get ear infections, so I have to take them off fairly frequently.  Gorgeous design though.  I liked it, but I'm not sure I'd buy again, since both this one as well as the refurbished one I got both broke in less than a year.

This phone wallet lasted exactly 3 months before it started fraying and 4 months before the wristlet fell off completely.
I managed to fit 5 cards and y ID in it, so it's pretty convenient and I only ever had trouble removing my ID from the front plastic pocket. Other than that, it served me well for 4 months. You get what you pay for so in that regard $10 isn't bad so long as you don't expect it to last that long.
