Not as good as the original classico

trying to replace my original scala classico and this one is slightly too big plus I am not a fan of the exaggerated brim curve of the "outback" version.  Wish I could find a non-"outback" version on the web.

These Go Walks aren't exactly like the original ones. They are a little more narrow and snug feeling. I feel like they aren't as cushioned either. My foot became fatigued after only about 3 hours of work (nurse). My original Go Walks would last me all day. Skip the "super sock Go Walk 2" if you want comfort and all day wear go with the Go Walk original. You won't be sorry!

Outburst Remix is not as much fun as the original. The cards are smaller but the hand-held card reader is better.  The cards now have a Title and a subtitle.  But don't count on the title for any clues - it's useless.  Also the catagories are way to specific.  Stick with the original...it a little dated...but great fun going down memory lane.

Not as good as the original JoMoe. The bottom is dented so it wobbles. Also the top is a little loose.

Not as good as the original. The grandchildren liked silly faces much better. A would not buy again. Stay with the original.

Not like the original set I have; it's thinner and a little shorter.  If you're looking to replace missing pieces from an original Oneida set they don't make them the same anymore.  Your best bet is to try to find used pieces in good condition.

Bought the exact same model that I loved so much (my old HD-280s circa 2005 were taped up and falling apart). Then I hardly used these after buying the replacements because the "new" version of this model was so inferior. The sound is still good, but the comfort level was greatly reduced. The previous version of HD-280s had really soft earfoams and were enormously comfortable over hours of use. These feel tight and constricting. I don't know what they did, but I would have paid more to keep the prior quality. I'm guessing the new material was a cost issue. p.s. I still use these because the sound is good

I bought this to replace the same model that stopped working after many years of use. The new one doesn't heat as evenly as the old one -- the center is obviously a lot hotter than the outer edges. The grill looks the same as the old one but seems to be lighter and cheaper made. Still, if you want old fashioned waffles and not Belgian style, this might be the best option available.

This is more of a Super-Radio 4 with the cosmetics of a Superadio III.  This is the third version of the RCA-branded "Superadio". It's not made by Thomson Consumer Electronics as the original Superadio III was made but by a Canadian outfit called AVC Electronics.  The target market no longer seems to be the USA but Canada (nothing wrong with that).

I bought one of these just to see what changes were made - I'm a radio engineer by trade and hobby.

It took me three samples before I found one radio that worked sort of properly.  The first one was extremely mis-calibrated.  The second one had floppy controls (the audio pots would turn 360 degrees as if their detents were broken) and dead spots across the dial.  The third unit is calibrated properly on AM but slightly off on FM, particularly noticeable on the high end of the dial.  A station on 106 FM appears halfway between 106 and 108.

Sound quality is not as good as the original IIIs.  Audio is tinnier.  The woofer in the current model doesn't have as much bass response as earlier units, even with the bass dial turned to maximum.

When turned on, it takes a while for voltages to ramp up and let the varactor tuning diodes return to the previous station that was listened to.  Older IIIs would do this much more quickly.  I haven't yet opened the radio to look at the circuit board, but the difference in performance suggests the electronics have been redesigned.

The most insignificant part is the slight but noticeable cosmetic changes:  Printing on the top part of the cabinet is now gone.  Also gone is the chrome finish on the knobs and switches - replaced by a dull-grey matte finish.

In short, I think it's seriously time to consider retiring this model line.

It's been a good 30 years (I, II and III under GE and the second version of RCA-branded III; the first version being plagued by defective tuning potentiometers) but better-quality contemporary analog-tuned and digitally-tuned radios (by companies like C-Crane and Sangean) have superseded it.

Clearly the current manufacturer (AVC Electronics) is just cruising on name recognition and not quality.

Not as good as the first one talking about the quality, plastic and design from outside of the first generation. But this one is superior inside, not as hot as the first generation.

Not as good as the older versio, Moveing through the process is more cumbersome than before. I have been uding it sine the 80's most of the time it was enprove with each new versoin. Not so anymore I would not recommended it.

I found this to be a disappointment. It didn't sound as it did on the originals. Go buy original soundtracks instead of this one.
The only reason that I give 2 stars instead of 1 is that they perform it really well but they don't stick to the mood and pace of the originals.

I liked the LSS of the 90's before it started being made overseas in China, etc. Compared to my older LSS bags from the 90s, there is a noticeable decline in the nylon - this is much harder yet thinner, not soft and noiselessly smooth to the touch like my old bag.

I think overall it's great for the price but I returned the bag because I did not like the quality of the fabric used. Additionally, this particular pattern (Classico) has a stitched bottom seam on the bag that is not present on the other patterns - not sure why it's only this bag that has this two-pieces-stitched-together bottom but check the images to see what I'm talking about.

The strap differed from the original.  The color is a flat black whereas the original is shiny black that actually matched the watch itself.  The clasp is chrome where as the original was black.  I had to use the old clasp to match the watch.  My fault for not paying attention to the product photo but if I had to do it again, I would spend a few more bucks and order from Suunto.  I just didn't want to deal with Suunto anymore.

Its OK for a morning cup, but the 'Original' is better in my opinion.

I've had the Original Porta Pro's which I love.  I bought these as they have the in line mic and controls which work perfectly with my iPhone.  One issue is the comfort buttons on this one do not seem to work as soothly as the original models.  Not sure if its defective or just the way these new ones are.  Sound is still wonderful but note I deleted the two stars as the build quality seems to have gone down over the years.

If you have own this model in the past and loved that one, you will probably be disappointed with this one.  Gel Pad is harder and thinner than the original.
