Pleasantly surprised!

First, know that I am a pro musician so I know what truly great sound is and can be.  But, without spending a sizable chunk of change and taking up lots more floor space the options are few.  I have searched for more than a year for a small system that wouldn't take up lots of space in my small home but that would still have decent sound and function.  This is it!

There are a couple of really good "audiophile" reviews for this item that explain all of the technical stuff and and they did a good job of it, so I won't waste space reiterating what they already said.  Instead I will just focus on the fact that it is a really great system in a small package that looks great on the shelf and sounds remarkably good.

I've had this for a couple of months now, and I love that it has a sleep function (that I use every night) and comes with a remote that's really easy to use which was a feature I was looking for so I can control it from bed without getting up and down so much.  The remote has all the features I use, so you can select which function, volume, repeat for the CD, sleep timers...all of it is easily accessible. The remote is not as large as my Samsung TV remote, but it's not so small that you can't see what you're doing and it easily fits in my bedside table drawer.

I am also pleasantly surprised that the receiver works really well and picks up the stations I need that other players sometimes can't receive in this location.  I moved the antenna around just a bit to find the right spot and it works perfectly.

One downside is that it does not have a USB option to play from a memory stick.  I think that is surprising since this is not some cheap $99 unit and these days USB Memory Stick input options come standard even on low-end units.  Maybe they thought at the time that it would be duplicating the input for the IPhone/IPod, but whatever the case, I think it was a mistake to not include that option.  If it had that I think this unit would be darn near perfect!

Nevertheless, it works well, looks like an expensive system on the shelf, is built very solid, and is a great system for the price.  Great sound that fills the room.  I highly recommend it.

I gotta say, I was a little skeptical even though most of the reviews were really good but I'm glad I took the chance anyway.  These cardigans are fantastic!  I ordered black, white and coral pink (which is more salmon than pink).  They do run very small as noted in other reviews.  I am a 12-14 with chubby upper arms so I ordered an XXL and it fits perfectly.  I am also somewhat short and the longest part of the front comes to about two inches above the knee.  The back covers my most of my butt.  The material is almost like a t-shirt ... very soft and lightweight, but will probably be warm enough for a chilly office.  I haven't washed them yet so I am not sure how they will wash up.  I would assume using very low heat will keep them from shrinking.  All in all, I am really very pleasantly surprised by these cardigans.  I may have to order more!  :)

I wasn't expecting much when I got this book, to be honest, but was extremely pleasantly surprised!  I laughed out loud often, the humor was well done and often unexpected.  Well-written and funny, I want to read the rest of this series soon.

I wanted to give myself ample time to try this out before I reviewed it. I have used it for about a week and all I can say is WOW. I was pleasantly surprised all the way around! My experience began when I opened the box and found my pillow rolled neatly into a really cute green carrying case. It made me slightly skeptical as to whether or not I was shipped the King size pillow I ordered (it was really squished into the carrying case!) but once I took it out and unrolled it I could tell I got exactly what I was supposed to get! I was expecting an unpleasant memory foam odor (as the seller warned) but I didn't notice any bad smells. I had also been given instructions as to how to break up the shredded memory foam in the pillow before use and that was very easy to do. After a few hours of letting it sit to gain it's proper shape and thickness (also as instructed), I had another moment of skepticism when I noticed how firm the pillow seemed to be. I absolutely cannot STAND firm pillows. I like mine so puffy that my head sinks down to the mattress! I was determined to give it a try, and give it a try I did. Let me just say that I have had some of the best nights of sleep since using this pillow! It cradles my head, almost as if it's committing the shape of my head to its.....well.....memory. It doesn't get flat, I feel supported, and I have yet to wake up any morning with a sore neck. I can't say that about my puffy pillows! I really want to buy another one to match this and in case something happens to it, that's how happy I am! Also, it comes with the cover shown in the picture. I use my own pillowcase so it will match my bedding, but the original cover is soft enough to sleep on by itself. All in all, I would buy more of these so that everyone I know could sleep on them!

I read the preview and didn't think I'd like it but since it had such great reviews I thought I would at least check it out. I was pleasantly surprised! And honestly had a hard time putting it down. It bounces back and forth in time and I figured that would be too confusing but it wasn't at all! I thought it was very interesting and well written!

Due to the price, I wasn't expecting great sound but I was very pleasantly surprised.  Great sound, easy to set up, works well.  I am very happy with this speaker.  I will probably buy another one.

I was expecting something different from this book, based on the title and description. That being said, I was pleasantly surprised with what the story did in fact turn out to be. I love a good romance, especially one where the odds seem to be stacked against the characters. I loved the fact that the book had an element of education in it too, sharing information about endangered sea life - a cause Im passionate about! The book was easy to read, flowed beautifully, and I was left thinking about the characters long after I had put it down and continued with normal life. Any author who can make me do that deserves a high five!

I was skeptical when ordering this shirt. But when it arrived, I was pleasantly surprised. The colors are beautiful, and the fabric is very nice. I haven't washed it yet, but will update when I do.  :-)
