Sounded bad, looked bad, and was hard to play

This cello was a terrible disappointment. Cosmetically, there were several dull spots and the finish was uneven.  Structurally, it was way off the standard specifications for cello construction.  Since this was so far out of the standards for a cello, it would be terrible to try and learn on, and worse to play with others.  Bottom line - it was hard to play, looked bad and sounded bad.  I contacted the company to try and get a replacement, and they claimed that there are no standard specifications for a cello and ignored the cosmetic defects.  Then, they refused to refund the shipping costs.  Stay away from this cello and this company.  BTW, I ordered a Knilling cello from Amazon, and it looked good, was right on the standard specifications and sounds beautiful.

This is a terrible headset.

First, it is not comfortable.  The cloth covering on the earpads made my head sweat, and the foam was so stiff it pressed on my temples and I got headaches and felt dizzy while trying to play an MMORPG - not the most motion-disorienting type of game.

Second, the sound quality was terrible.  There were some decent lows, no midrange at all, and a tinny sound to everything else, like a phone call underwater.  I've read there might be a break-in period, but the headset I bought after this didn't need one.

You get what you pay for in this case.  I ended up returning it, and I have gone with a different brand.

I am a big fan of the Turtle Beach products, I own several Turtle Beach headsets along with some other brands, and the Turtle Beach always seem to work best.  I was disappointed with these.  I received the Shadow and Spectre versions of the Turtle Beach Call of Duty headsets and had the same problems with both.

First, the hookup is horrible.  There seems to be an overabundance of cords.  In case you didn't notice, this is NOT a wireless headset.  There are cords from the headset to the controller, from the headset to the console (Xbox in this case), and more to the TV.  There were multiple hookup methods depending on your specific system, many of them require special adapters.  I have a new TV and the newest version of the Xbox360, and in order to install I needed to buy an old coversion cable for the Xbox so I could hook it up to the audio for the TV.  It was a real hassle to get hooked up, and once it was done there were cords going everywhere.

Once it was hooked up, the sound was AMAZING.  The sound adjustments are excellent, massive bass if you want, or crisp treble if you prefer that too.

Sadly, the voice chat system was TERRIBLE.  It constantly crackled, hissed, and popped.  Everyone I spoke with while using these complained about the sounds my headset made.  I had to replace the cord with an older chat cable to remedy the problem, and then it was only partially better.  This was the case with both the Shadow and Spectre versions of this headset.

Overall, it was disappointing.  The sound quality was excellent, one of the best Ive used, but I couldn't get over the excessively complicated hookup and the spotty chat capability.

We had three different Guitar Hero - World Tours, ALL with bad drum kits. All were returned within days. We really thought they had resolved the drum kit issues. After only two days, we have a bad drum kit again. This is our FOURTH bad drum kit from this series (the 'Hero' games).

The drum kit falsely registers the blue pad when you hit the red or green. It went bad on our 2nd day of use.

So back to the store it goes.

Great selection of pop songs and it's a fun game to play (neat, poppy graphics), but what use is it if the drums don't work? I was also really annoyed they took out words like "whiskey" and "klonopin" out of songs. I'm 34, I think I can handle those words. I didn't appreciate the censorship of the music.

Big thumbs down on this one. :(

Never heard audio sound this bad before, it was like it was going through a digital filter or something and made the sound almost unrecognizable. I returned them immediately. Hopefully I just got a bad unit.

If it sounded half as good as it looked, I'd still own it. Callers on the other end sounded distorted & over-boosted - I could barely make out what they were saying. I think I sounded fine to them, but hearing folks sound like the adults on a "Peanuts" special is no good. Plus, the voice prompts were really low - even after turning it all the way up. It also didn't fit well in my ear - I likely could've resolved that with the ear clip, but it sounded so bad, I sent it back.

Power adapter attachment made a very poor connection with the unit itself, necessitating the unit to be wedged against something something for the adapter to make contact with the internals. In addition, the output quality was markedly worse than the composite signal itself, which flabbergasted me. I tried two separate TVs, two HDMI cables, and three different game consoles. Each made everything much blockier and blurrier. In addition, the sound quality was worsened leaving barely any bass and making highs tinny.

I might have received a defective unit, but for how cheap and flimsy the thing felt, I didn't feel like trying my luck again.

I had the pBone shipped to where I was vacationing (needing to practice but not willing to go through the hassle of taking my horn along). It has an amazingly decent sound, intonation and range/flexibility. A good stand-in in a pinch. BUT, the slide was awful! I spent a lot of time working it hoping it would get better with use. I wiped it off and sleuced it out many times but it never got better. Finally returned it. Hopefully I just got a bad slide. If I get the chance, I might try some others to compare.

Purchased this as a 2nd attempt to obtain a decent 1/2 sized
guitar for my five year old son's birthday.  The first was
a Dean Playmate acoustic from Amazon--which was a total bust.

I decided to purchase the AXL 1/2 Headliner electric based on
the company's reputation for making decent quality guitars for
budget minded players.  When we received it, it actually looked
great in terms of appearance and funtions/features.

This all changed once we tried to tune it.  We simply could not
bring this guitar up to tune...it has horrible tuning machines
which do not hold their tension.  In addition, there is noticeable
fret buzzing on the 6th e string.

I have come to realize that 1/2 sized guitars will likely all have
tuning problems, similar to what we experienced here.  The neck
quality simply cannot support the tension of regular guitar strings,
which these use.

I am returning yet another guitar to Amazon.com...citing defective
quality.  I will likely turn to a 3/4 sized electric guitar, knowing
that this will be a bit big for my son.  However, the overall scale
of a 3/4 lends itself to more of a quality build and, hopefully, a
more in tune and authentic sound.

I hooked the unit up and any low frequency and "loud" sounds such as explosions were totally distorted.  Even with my volume turned quite low all the explosions and gun fire sounds were horribly horribly distorted.

Also the power adapter doesn't fit sockets very well and it makes a horrible high pitched whining sound I could literally hear across the room. Was driving me crazy.

Will be returning.

I tried twice before going to a different brand. The first one played cassettes chipmonk style - very fast.  I requested a replacement that arrived very fast. The second one, also played chipmonk style, but would vary between fast and regular. The cassettes were extremely hard to load because cassettes are straight and have to be pushed way down into the curved cover. It usually takes several tries - on other players there are guides, but these are ineffective. Since the hatch only opens a bit, getting the cassette out is trouble too as there was hardly room for my fingers between the case and the cassette. The battery spot is almost too small for the batteries, so to install and remove batteries is very difficult. When it was playing at the proper speed, the sound quality was poor. Shame on me for not reading the ratings.

The guitar arrived with the bridge pickup scratched in large-ish swathes to shiny metal (pickups should be uniform grayish brown) -- it clearly took some abuse during transportation or maybe this particular one was even used (not new), anyways, it didn't look good. Took some time to find the allen key -- the bag in which it was supposed to be was open and the contents spilled in the box.

Guitar action was set pretty high yet there was significant buzz from the 6th string above about 12th fret and a completely dead 15th fret on the 1st string.

Apart from that the guitar looks the part, massive sustain, but frankly for a grand I would expect much better quality control from Schecter. You could get a low-end Ibanez that wouldn't have these problems.

I'm sure if the pickup wasn't scratched, if it was set up by someone who knows how to do it, and if it didn't have manufacturing flaws (like the dead fret), it would have been an awesome guitar.

I own another pair of CAD headphones and was pleased with them. But these sounded horrible. Boomy artificial bass recessed mid's and high's were poorly represented.  Also had intermittent sound cutting in and out.  Sent them back.

I've recorded on this and when I play it back, the sound is horrible.  I regret that I ordered this.

Problems from the get go.

The power they required was crazy, I kept getting surge warnings from my usb ports, and my friends had the same issue when i plugged them in.

The bass was 0 or sounded like a tiny speaker being asked to deliver concert bass, just sucked. 0 bottom end.

surround sound sounded like it was always on and when you toggled it on it was like infinite duplication.

The mids were muddy and lacked focus. the highs were tinny and super faint. my buddy said i was crazy and just not used to surround and he tried them on..... within 10 seconds of me playing BF4 he took them off and apologized for calling me nuts.

His surround headphones sounded amazing but this set was just awful.

On the upside the msi light control worked great and was impressive.... so it was colorful garbage.

Sorry MSI, stick to non-usb

Purchased this to replace my AT95E.  I must have received a bad one.  I fine-tuned the alignment, tracking force, anti-skating, etc., to the minutest detail for hours on end  no matter what I did, the sibilance was OUTRAGEOUS.  Even on the highest quality "audiophile" stereo vinyl.  The audio was tinny and terrible.  I believe all the positive reviews; I think I just got unlucky.

I liked the sound from these speakers, and the size, but had to return them because they only produce sound when they feel like it.  Really maddening, and I resented the time I spent trying to get them to work, and having to pack them up and send them back.
