Probably unbeatable for the price.  Some nitpicks though...
340409
Firstly, this thing has just an amazing price tag for what it does.  Particularly with the APT-X feature which almost none support in its pricerange.  Still, I do have a few minor nitpicks.  The LED is _SUPER_ bright.  Painfully so if you look directly at it.  This can actually be kind of bad at night time if you're driving because you have this really bright light source in your car then...  I had to put not one, but TWO LightDims on mine to make the brightness normal.  (This recent trend of all electronics coming with ultra-bright LEDs just to indicate power or whatever is getting very tiresome.)  Also, someone mentioned that it has quite some heft to it.  This is because they've actually added a weight to the inside.  Whether that's a good thing or not depends on how it's being used, but I can't help but to think that many people could probably just glue something on if they really wanted it to weigh more.  I'm actually velcroing it into place, so I pulled the weight out (and they overdid it on gluing it in -- which probably wasn't necessary at all since it's also clipped into place -- so this was a bit tough.)  It's worth noting here that the extra weight added in is room that could have been used for a bigger battery technically.  (But then a lot of us are just running it directly from a USB plug anyway I would presume?)  It also doesn't have quite as good of a filtering as I would have hoped -- particularly on the power input.  I have to leave it plugged in, but this does add some extra noise to the sound picked up from the car itself.  Also, as has already been mentioned before, you must manually fully turn it on or off.  Perhaps since it's Bluetooth 4.0 it can last a good while while on but not connected, but it has that dinky little battery, so this is still very limited and I think someone has already complained that it runs down frequently enough on them this way.  Oh, and as a really minor nitpick, it takes it several moments to register button presses (but that may be more in how the software on the phone itself handles it, so I'm not even sure it's this device at fault.)

Those minor nitpicks aside, it's still amazing for its price and I seriously doubt you'll do better at this pricerange right now.  The sound is actually quite good other than the aforementioned insufficient filtering causing extra noise.  I have a fairly decent quality sound system (read quality, not quantity!) in my car, so while it's not true audiophile level, it still shows artifacts very well and I would have noticed if it sounded like classic Bluetooth (which was the main thing I was leery about as plain Bluetooth audio uses a lot of very lossy compression.)  The range is far better than some were complaining about -- I probably got about 30 feet or so before it started to skip when I tested normally.  I suspect those with lower ranges either have a lot of interference or have phones/tablets with weak Bluetooth signals (I have the Nexus 7 2013 edition and Samsung Galaxy SIII, so both are well build devices that didn't skimp on components.)  It even integrates well.  I never take my phone out of my pocket when I get in the car.  I just turn this on, wait a moment, hit play, and it's playing my music.  The plus/minus buttons can change tracks if I just press, or if I hold them adjust the volume (though of course it's best to use the head unit's own volume control.)

I haven't tested hands-free yet.  I suspect that even with its built in microphone it will only work well in a vehicle if you can get it really close due to all the noise (which is less a fault of it and more just the problem of the environment itself.)

Overall an excellent bang for the buck and I would recommend it to just about anyone.

For the price, this unit is hard to beat. The bulb isn't the brightest, but it is still perfectly watchable during the day with the blinds open. It does make a bit of noise, but that rarely causes problems when watching movies.

The only real issue I have with it is the lack of basic image processing. When using VGA input, you can scale and shift the screen around, but not when using HDMI. With HDMI, the only option you have is scaling the image, but due to the relatively small room I have it in, being able to shift the image would let me center the image on my wall. Also, with the physical keystone correction, the top and bottom of the screen get blurry to the point of distraction. Software based keystone correction would solve the issue (though degrade image quality of course).

Overall though, it's a perfectly good budget projector.

For the price paid (less than $75), it's not half bad.  I connected it to my LAN and HDTV, configured for DHCP, and was easily able to detect my Ubuntu Linux based Mediatomb server.

When I attempted playback of various media, I wasn't able to get sound over HDMI.  I then tried component video (YPbPr) successfully.  I went back to HDMI, lowered the bit rate for the sound, and had it up and running fine (including 720p .MKV playback).

From time-to-time the screen goes blank when you've been wandering around in the menus for too long and as of now, I have not been able to make use of the USB port (always reads folder empty no matter what's connected).  I have a trouble ticket in with Hauppauge, will update with results.

Pros:
Low price
Played every video format I threw at it
1080p HDMI Output
Decent WAF (Wife Approval Factor)
Instinctive remote control (could be better)
Intuitive on-screen menus
Easy network setup
Automatic video setup built into the software

Cons:
Unit itself could look better
OSD needs polishing: speed, smoothness, fonts are big & blocky (can't really complain for the price)
Has to reboot after some setting changes
Screen goes blank every now and again while in the menu system
No automatic audio setup

Conclusion:
Setup could have gone more smoothly.  For the problem I had with sound over HDMI, there was nothing in the manual, on the website, or in any of the forums that gave me any insight on this problem.  I literally stumbled onto the fix.  The problem was likely due to the limitations of my HDTV, but the average consumer might not catch that.  Although it's not important to my intended application, I'm still waiting on an answer for my USB port issue.  All-in-all, for what I purchased it for, (multi-format Upnp/DLNA player w/ HDMI output) it's not horrible when you take into consideration that other comparable consumer products cost anywhere from $30 to $125 more and a custom-built PC with an HDMI output could cost upwards of $400 to $500 at a minimum.

Update (12/20/2010):
I've not heard anything beyond the initial response (addressing my already resolved audio over HDMI issue) from Hauppauge support.  I've also discovered that the MediaMVP-HD cannot play OGM video.  The format is summarily ignored by the media browser (as in doesn't even show up as unknown).  Although it's not advertised as one of the supported formats, I'm still disappointed.  As for .MKV playback, if you have an MKV video with multiple audio tracks, there's no way to switch betewwn the two tracks.  I also contacted Hauppauge about this and have gotten no answer.  Prehaps I'll have better luck after the holidays.

Update (03/30/2011):
Still no response from Hauppauge, I've moved on to using a PC with XBMC Live installed.  The MediaMVP will still serve as a spare in my workshop, but isn't quite smooth and polished enough (software-wise) for my living room system.  Eye candy is important.

The headphones are great for the price. The wires aren't too bad as long as you're careful with things and don't have too much traffic around all the time. (family members) The sound is LOUD and being able to balance the chat with the game audio on two different controls is great. Pretty easy to set-up if you have basic audio knowledge. A definite improvement in chat volumes in 360 games. Also, these headphones are great if you go back and throw a game like Halo 2 in your 360 where the chat emulation is a lot quieter on 360. You can actually hear compared to with the regular communicator! ;)

The two downsides are:
1.) If you use a play-n-charge kit, it will cause background hum. Simple solution: Charge your play-n-charge kit in a separate controller or when you're not playing!

2.) As the audio gets loud, it's all really overly bassy and low-midrange with only slight highs. It's like they wanted to wow people with the bass so it would make people buy the headphones, but they forgot to balance the whole audio range. Working in audio myself for a number of years, this was immediately noticeable. Especially on the chat! You can hear people when the game isn't going on itself, but once all the firefights kick in, the voices are so muffled. They are still loud, but just overly bassy. They need to throw more upper mids and highs into the preamp.

Over all: 4 out of 5

These speakers are shockingly good for the price.  If you are contemplating a modest bookshelf speaker, I don't think you can do better for the money.  For context, I'm an audiophile and own (or have owned) speakers from Revel, B&W, Magnapan, PSB and Mirage.  No these aren't as good as my $4k Revels, but they don't make terrible mistakes, and get out of the way of the music.  Sonically, I think they are a little warm, and they have outstanding bass response - you will be amazed at what a small driver will do.

The bad: they are not beautiful, they are bit large and have a rear port - which can make placement challenging, the finish looks pedestrian.  From a sonic standpoint, they don't have outstanding resolution / detail.

The good: solidly balanced sound, surprisingly responsive low end, and ultimately they are very musical.  I find myself forgetting about them and listening, which is amazing for a speaker at this price point. Highly recommended.

Great value- high quality but less than similar models from competitors

Gets the job done as described. However, under-engineered and oversimplified for the price.

Pros:
1. Adjusts easy.
2. Good enough differential between the keyboard shelf and the monitor for a more-or-less ergonomic stance.
3. Slick surface material finish - mouse glides very well with no pad required.
4. No assembly required.

Cons/needed improvements:
1. The monitor does shake slightly during typing/mouse handling. Can be mitigated somewhat by a "lighter" typing technique.
2. The keyboard shelf needs to be adjustable to be truly "one size fits all."  My monitor provides only so much height differential, not enough for a perfect keyboard and monitor positioning while standing. An independent keyboard suspension can serve two purposes: keyboard shelf adjustment and damping the vibration transferred to the monitor shelf.
3. A lot of space on the keyboard shelf.  For the price, could have added some nooks and niches for paperclips, pens, etc.
4. Absolutely no esthetic accommodation for a front-facing desk (the desk faces the middle of the office, not the wall). No graceful wire routing, not even a simple slot or a whole in the top shelf. I have 5 wires running to the monitor and they just drape over the back.
5. Unfinished grooves on the bottom side the particle board (the main shelf material) created dust that was not cleaned and was on many parts of the assembly.
6. The distance between the user and the monitor changes depending on the position (up or down) by several inches, so some adjustments of monitor position are required as well, when you change the position.

I'm tempted to give this 5 stars, because it really is amazing for the price. I have a wall mount that cost me about 4X the cost that doesn't have the adjustability of this one. This also came with a lot of different hardware, a HDMI cable, and a level! I've already used the level to mount a new soundbar to the wall, and I used some of the different hardware (bolts) to mount another TV on a bracket that I hadn't kept the other sizes for.

I'm only knocking off one star because there's some slop that allows the TV to rotate about 10 degrees clockwise or counter-clockwise, so I periodically have to level it out. But to get that kind of precision machining would probably at least double the price, and it's not like the thing is flimsy - the vertical bracket alone is really heavy duty.

Overall, this unit offers reasonable value for the money, but don't expect perfection  there are some bugs and limitations.

Nice package.  Nice size.  Light weight.  Well-made internally.

Comes with a USB cable for supplying power to the unit.  No ac adapter is supplied.  (I use a 5 vdc wall-wart with a USB output connector.)
The unit has 50 ohm output impedance, but will only produce about 2.75 volts peak-to-peak into a 50 ohm load prior to clipping.  Will produce greater than 20 volts peak-to-peak into a high impedance.

Amplitude and dc offset adjustments work smoothly.  The output voltage clips when the dc plus ac excursions become excessive.  Amplitude is adjustable, beginning at a low of about 10 mv p-p.  There is no amplitude scale, which could have been included around the amplitude knob.  (I drew in by hand a scale around the amplitude knob on the side of the unit.)

Awkward frequency adjustment scheme:  You have to stop (disable) the output to make any frequency or mode change.  Each time the unit is stopped, the cursor position reverts to the most significant digit of frequency.  To change frequency, it is necessary to tab over to the desired digit by repeatedly pressing the cursor button, then increasing or decreasing the highlighted digit by repeatedly pressing the + or  buttons, then doing this again for any other digit or digits to be changed.

Crystal-controlled direct digital synthesizer (DDS) produces good frequency stability and readout accuracy.  Looks like there are about 127 amplitude steps in the waveform, or a few less.  This would indicate about a 7-bit digital-to-analog conversion is being used.  Fortunately, the amplitude adjustment does not reduce the number of steps  the internal gain is merely changed.  When producing low frequencies, these steps can be seen on an oscilloscope.  These can also be heard by playing what should be a sub-audible frequency such as a 10 Hz sine wave into headphones.

Aside from the steps, the sine wave looks nice (if the amplitude is set so it is not clipping) at all frequencies.  Though the unit is advertised to go to 500 kHz, it will continue to produce sine waves (at reduced amplitude) all the way up to 999,999 Hz, which is the highest setting possible.

The filter button activates a low-pass filter that has 3 dB attenuation at about 400 kHz on my unit.  I cant see that this filter has much utility.

The other waveforms are another matter  these will run at higher frequencies, but are best kept in the audible range (less than about 20 kHz) in order to look pretty.  There are obviously some programming errors in these.  The square wave has some pulse width jitter, and at higher frequencies becomes grossly un-square, having about 20% pulse width distortion or more at 500 kHz.  Some of the pulses are wide, some are narrow.  The triangle wave has 8 minor glitches (where a step that should be present is missing) in the downhill slope, noticeable at low frequencies.  These glitches are not present in the uphill slope.  These glitches are not present in the sawtooth or reverse sawtooth.  The triangle, sawtooth, and reverse sawtooth all show some jitter and perhaps a bit of superimposed low frequency distortion, along with some rounding, as the frequency increases, becoming noticeable above about 20 kHz.  These may be related to the same or similar timing error that is present in the square wave.  Some additional output distortion may appear when driving low or reactive output impedances.

It's really not a bad device, but it needs a little help. For the price, this is hands down the best option. Nothing in this price range is likely to sound anywhere near as good. I mean, you could probably use an XLR at this price for a better sound, but getting those hooked directly to a computer is an absolute nightmare (and will cost way more). I have only two particularly big complaints about this device.

For one, it still picks up a lot of background noise, but I'm not entire sure that's the microphone's fault. I tested it in an environment with quite a bit of noise, which some mics don't pick up, but that's just a difference in design. I just had to put a simple noise reduction effect on it in Audition and it sounded great.

However, here's the BIG problem: It's disgustingly loud. In Windows settings, the level is set to 0 (why isn't it muted?), and I have the -10dB switch turned on, and it's still far too loud. I had to use another effect in Audition to cut down the gain significantly, and that's never as good as getting the recording level right in the first place. I tried to keep it farther from me, but that just reduced the quality of my voice and increased background noise. I'm going to look into some fixes for this (I'll edit this review with them if I find any), but for now, at least it works.

Overall, it's not the best for live recording unless you have the ability to add active noise reduction or volume reduction effects. For static recording that can be edited in post-production, you're going to have to do a little fiddling, but since that's standard to the task, I don't see there being a particularly big problem.

It's true that you get what you pay for, but for the price of this thing you get a very good, again NOT PERFECT, but pretty good product. There's some problem with the touch screen calibration (try tapping the screen once using the TIP of your fingernail, instead of literally pressing with the nubb of your finger), problems with the converting (try using specifically AVI, MPG, or MP4 video and the formats given, they require NO conversion), the radio recording has to be turned "Low Quality" in order to get the "High Quality" option which is weird... and the radio has to be turned to "No Stereo", to get the "Stereo" setting, also weird... The power button starts out automatically sliding over back to it's original position at first, but later will have to be manually slid back over. The screen clarity is good (depending on the video), there's a lot of graphic equalizer settings for the audio. Solid speaker, microphone, camera (again not perfect), but considering the price for the competition and similar (sometimes worse) flaws, this product along with VERY good customer service is a very good, not excellent 4 out of 5. If your looking for one of these YOU FOUND IT! Just buy it already, quit scanning around looking at reviews...

This is a great player for the price, it works and sounds great, and that is all that matters, right?

I totally agree, but there are a few problems that kill this little MP3/WMA player's glory.

All have been mentioned so far, and I am pretty sure that everyone is aware but now, but why not put my two cents in it?

-I like the fact that you have an arm band and a belt clip. There is a rubberised enclosure for the player that facilitates the mounting to the arm band. My problem is the player's unusual shape causes it to stick out like a sore thumb on the side of your arm. I suggest increased awareness in situations in the gym where there is a possibility of rubbing, as the buttons on the player are akward and stick out.

-Since we are on the topic of buttons, I have read several reviews of individual's players losing button functuality over time. I do not doubt this from feeling the shoddy construction of the buttons. The lock function is also buried too deep down in the menus.

-Speaking of menus, common functions are buried deep and make it a pain, especially when the rubber casing is on, it makes the top buttons hard to access, including volume.

-Music still sounds nice at max volume, included earbuds are good, but may not quite reach some waists.

-Complaints about radio reception; I have not tried it myself, but Rio claims to have solved these problems with the latest firmware update.

-It makes a difference, you will notice the differences in the menu format.

-The software sucks, use anything but the Music Manager. It does work in terms of basic functionality though. The USB cable is proprietary, and Rio states on their website that they have tested SD media up to 1 GB.

-Battery life is adequate, as advertised.

-The screen shows a lot for something in its price range, maybe a little too much, although the LCD does look a little archaic. I will expand on this in the next bullet.

-The LCD screen is the Achilles Heel of this player in terms of durability. Two weeks after I got this thing from Overstock, I clipped it on my Interceptor body armour in an ammo pouch, and took it on an 8 mile ruck march. At the end, I forgot and threw my armour in the back of a truck. When I got back the screen was done. It will take a fall anywhere, but once the screen gets hit, it is done.

In summary, this rocks if you can get it for 30 bucks, it is expandable to 1 GB, but you have to be cognisant of your surroundings, or you will break this toy.

Unbeatable for the price. My biggest complaint is that it only had 2 short legs. I could still attach it to my projector, but I had to bring all three legs to the front (looks like a turkey footprint) would have worked, but I went ahead and cut down one of the long ones so I could get the mount over the center of gravity. For my setup and my projector, this gets the job done. It can be hard to adjust and take all the play out, so for a really nice setup I would spend a little more for one with easier adjustments. This one almost has too many adjustment options.

Overall, this is a great TV with a great picture and offers a lot of features for the price.  I use this TV for every-day TV, sports (football mostly) and movies.  The picture is bright and contrast is very good.  Viewing angle is not bad, but the colors do tend to wash out a bit after maybe 50-60 degrees off center, especially when displaying a brighter picture.  Football looks great on it and one of the first things I watched a baseball game which was absolutely awesome looking.

I did have to spend a little time to adjust some settings for things I found a bit annoying out of the box.  The "Eco Solution" settings would adjust the picture brightness based on room lighting and would dim the picture way too much with the default settings.  The good news is it provides ample adjustment to limit how much it dims as well as the ability to turn it off completely.  I also had to adjust brightness, contrast, etc. to look good in my environment and to suit my tastes, but that is not uncommon.  The other odd behavior I found was when watching shows with the constant (and annoying, IMHO) camera movement like "Law and Order".  The movement of characters in the show looked very unnatural and almost had a weird 3D effect.  I found that adjusting the Auto Motion Plus to the "Clear" setting improved this quite a bit and I don't notice it any more.  Again they provide a few knobs to turn to adjust this to your preference.

While I didn't buy a TV for internet apps, they are rather cool.  I use Pandora quite a bit and it's great.  The Social TV would probably be pretty cool for those into social networking since you can watch TV and mess around on Facebook at the same time.  I'm not much into this stuff and I still found it to be a nice feature.  The Smart Hub user interface is a bit clunky but gets the job done.  The internet browser is useless without a way to point-and-click.  Entering text for web sites or logging into online services is painful without some type of keyboard.  I downloaded the Samsung Smart TV remote app for my iPod Touch and that works pretty well, but still is quirky at times.

The controls on the front of the TV are absolutely useless.  The controls are on the lower-right front of the TV.  These are not buttons, but are touch sensitive areas in the bezel with no defined borders and the silk-screening is virtually impossible to see with the TV on and without bright lighting in the room.  Keep the remote handy.

Overall, I'd give a 4.5+ star rating for picture quality.  I'd give it a 5 if not for the viewing angle.
I'd give a 3.5 star rating for everything else...mostly needing improvement in user interface.

I've used these headphones for almost a year now and I gotta say, they're pretty great.

Things I like:
-Perfectly decent sound quality
-Perfectly decent mic quality
-In-line controls are nice

Things I don't like (but aren't too bad at this price)
-Cheap build quality
-Mic can't be moved towards mouth (can be quiet)
-Headphones don't grip the head well (they stay on fine unless you bend all the way forward or backward quickly)
-The adjustment action is very cheap and somewhat weak - quick movements can loosen the headphones

Things I hate
-HOLY CRAP LET ME TURN OFF THE BREATHING BLUE LIGHT. Do NOT keep these headphones in the room you sleep in. The blue light is SO bright, as it breathes it's super irritating even with eyes closed. The light is always on when your headset is plugged in, even in your computer is off.
-No ability to change the light effect (i.e. change breathing to solid on or strobe if you're a madman)

In summary: these headphones are a fantastic purchase at $26. They have some annoying quirks, build quality is definitely low, sound quality is adequate but don't expect Sennheisers, but if you're looking for a good cheap headset, this is it.

This headset is pretty awesome, especially for the price. Keep in mind I did not use the supplied earbuds. The earbuds that ship with units like this one are always inferior, but that's the reason you buy one with detachable earbuds - To use higher-end headphones. I use mine with Shure SM315's, which are $200 in-ear monitors. Anyhow, on to the review:

Pros:
- Pairs immediately
- Buttons are well laid out, easy to find, and have raised icons
- The clip swivels 360 degrees, but clicks into place, so it takes force to move it
- Battery life seems to be about 5 hours of constant playing
- Can use while charging
- Has a micro-USB port, not the proprietary connector of most (all?) of it's lower-priced competitors
- Seems to handle sweat well
- Volume independent of the device volume (basically, the volume on the headset is coarse volume, the volume on your phone is fine volume)
- VERY reasonably priced

Cons:
- Doesn't show charge level on an iPhone (almost all its competitors do)
- The clip is a little tight and hard to get onto a t-shirt
- Doesn't come with a lanyard, but you can clip it onto a necklace or string for this purpose

Like I said, good unit 'for the price'. It's relatively inexpensive, and very ruggedly built. I've had mine for 2 years, and I really treat this thing badly. It's gets tossed around in my toolbox, backpack, dropped, stepped on, crushed under lots of gear unmercilessly, and continues to function like new through it all.

The light output is bright and steady, has a fairly well balanced pattern, and has 4 light modes available. It's very reliable. I'd say the output is somewhere between 30-50 lumens, so the claimed level of 57 isn't far off (if at all).

It's very miserly on batteries. I have changed the batteries only once in 2 years of fairly regular use. I have 4 LED headsets, and this one outperforms all the others on battery life, by far. It also continues to give a fairly strong beam even when the batteries are fairly depleted. I tested the same depleted batteries on all my units, and again this one outperformed the others by far.

I also like the built-in strap that connects the back of the battery case to the unit, to prevent it from being lost. Very thoughtful to add that, because it makes the light more useful in outdoor situations.

This unit is a significant upgrade to the Energizer 3 LED unit, and for the couple dollars difference, it is well worth it. If you're considering both, get this 7 LED unit over the 3 LED. You won't regret it.

So, why 4 stars instead of 5? There are a couple things about this unit that make it imperfect:
1. The light output between high and low modes is almost indistinguishable. The low light mode has a better defined pattern, and is barely less bright than the highest mode, so it's actually easier to see in low mode; especially in a situation where there is a lot of reflective surfaces. The low and high modes on this light are actually meant to be short and long throw, rather than brighter -vs- dimmer. However, the high/long throw mode isn't really bright enough to be effective at distance. So, good low mode, but the high mode is almost unnecessary.
2. The button is very stiff and difficult to push. That probably means that it's very heavy duty, but also not very handy. The angle of the button is somewhat awkward, which requires the user to hold the light in a very specific way in order to press it. There are times that I've actually had to use both hands to push the button, to keep it from sliding down my face. You get used to it, but come on - it's a button - you shouldn't have to get used to the correct way to push a button.
3. Obsolescence. Let's face it, there are HUNDREDS of LED headset lights available today, and a lot of very good ones developed over the last 2 years since Energizer first marketed this one. Many that are better. I reserve 5 stars for those ones. However, 'for the price', this unit still ranks a 4.5.

Overall, this is a good buy for the price as long as it stays in the $15-20 range, and if that's your budget, you will be happy with this unit.
