Reviews
"Here is my full video review of the Blue Yeti microphone that I made for my YouTube channel."
"If you ever tried to stream through a Windows pc you will notice a delay between your live voice and what goes through the mic. There is no delay when you plug your headphones directly into the mic."
"I was able to pick one up on a lightning deal for $89 and it's well worth that price, however, I've had a few problems with it from day one that have since been rectified. Number one, I had to ship the first one back because one of the screws that holds the microphone into place was stripped out. Finally we can talk about the good and what should matter most when you are purchasing an expensive USB microphone and that is the sound quality -- it's excellent. If you are streaming a podcast or recording scratch audio for video production like I use it for, this microphone is really great."
"My son loves it!"
"The microphone the one who received this had, was in fine working order and it was good sound quality, but I wanted to gift it for an upgrade."
"One minor gripe is that I wish that it used a USB type A connection or a USB micro like most cell phones. It is powered through the USB cable (which is great) but the oddball boxy USB mini jack is hard to find."
"The drivers uploaded onto my computer automatically (was running windows 7). The weight made it feel really solid, I wasn't handling a chintzy piece of plastic, it was actual metal (aluminum, I think). I would highly recommend this to anyone trying to get into filming or basic voice work."

"These are the BEST headphones I've tested (and I've tested a lot) when it comes to latency--that is there's no delay when viewing a video on my iPhone and the audio that's playing."
"No headphone has ever covered my ears without hard places or sweaty or too tight. Pairs easily with my moto G 4 phone and also a BT transmitter connected to my Chrome TV dongle. Ear cups are flat enough to lay head on pillow to watch TV. We'll see how they hold up to long daily use. Update 9/30/2017 I wear these for several hours each day."
"Update 04/06/2017: Customer service did pretty good job and fast, by contacting me about the issue I had."
"The only complaints I have is when doing certain exercises they tend to slide off my head a little so I have to adjust them a few times."
"My wife took over my $300 head phones so I needed to find something that was ok and won't break the bank."
"I've really enjoyed these MPow Bluetooth Headphones, especially for the price."
"Need a nice value bluetooth headphones with durability, good sound quality, & can be wireless OR wired? while also testing the ability for folding the headphones (worked great, very solid feeling). 2) Turn on Bluetooth on your phone and pair the MPOW headphones / connect. 4) Operate the headphones (connected and streaming from your BT-enabled phone) for 10 hours continuous streaming and wired mode (using the supplied 3.5mm audio cable) along with conducting a test phone call. I turned on the headphones (the headphones provide an initial.

I next disconnected from bluetooth and attempted to test wired connection using the supplied 3.5mm audio cable that was supplied by MPOW to connect to my phone's headphone jack. I've done a test with the headphones running while streaming music using bluetooth, my test ended after 10 hours and it was still running! *Conclusion*.

"It does take a little bit of time to learn how to use the gain and pattern as well as the mute, but they're great additions to this mic for everyday use. I used to rely on a headphone/mic combo or just on the built-in mic but once I switched to this Blue Yeti I was getting compliments on my connection being so clear."
"This has really great voice quality and it picks up sound very easily so if you're into gaming videos or voice over videos whichever. If you have a video editor like I do you can connect it to that and record in real time with videos like some beauty youtubers do tutorials with voice overs."

"The wire is always getting in the way and so I decided to try out a Bluetooth set of earphones and these were the choice I made. As another reviewer mentioned, I also feel that these are just a hair below the volume level that I like to listen to most songs on. I'm not the biggest fan of the ribbon style cable for earphones, but it seems durable and has a soft touch rubber. Works great for hanging them on the wall with a thumb tack and securing around your neck when you want to take them out of your ears. The metal base of the bud where the rubber tip connects and the speaker begins, where it kind of bulges out in the photos, is uncomfortable after a short time if the earbuds are inserted deeply. Shirt clip for the wire, I guess so you don't drop them if they fall out of your ears. Mesh baggy that can fit everything inside easily without having to force things in. In a sea of crappy in-ears, I'm happy I finally found a pair that sounds great."
"I've tried these, the Otiums, and the Bose."
"So when I pair it with my phone, if I then want to pair it with my computer I need to hold down the multifunction key, wait for a color change, power it off, power it on and then pair it with my computer. If I then want to use it with my phone again."
"I was worried that the sound quality would be affected since they are wireless, but the sound quality is actually very good."
"I love these headphones they're so convenient when you're working out and you don't want to hit the cord so they knock out of your ear!"
"My ears are on the smaller side and the smallest earbud size is great. It takes a few minutes to get used to having the buds in because they are a different shape than my apple earbuds but it's not bad."
"Charge is great as well."
"I like to listen to loud music and bleeding has always been a problem on the L train but not with this."

Reviews
"The volume control is very hard to set, as each different song carries a different volume. I guess I was expecting something closer to a professional system without being a professional system, if you understand what I mean."
"One mic attaches to top and other mic attaches to pole part."
"Otherwise there's a danger they'll squabble over the one mike, or the kid who owns it will monopolize the machine."
"Our 4 year old asked Santa for a “stand up microphone” for Christmas."
"we bought it for our 3 year old. he needs help operating our phone app for karaoke, but that is bluetooth and we can do it from our seat while we watch the show."
"It is not a karaoke machine what it is is a base with lame speakers, a Bluetooth device that will not connect to a Samsung phone but will connect to an iPhone, a couple of cheap microphones and a stand to put a device on."
"Initially the product was a hit with the family, but after three or four uses over a couple of months A loud hiss appeared has made it unusable."

"As far as the headphones go, they're easily the best Bluetooth headphones I have ever used. I have small ear holes (who knew that was a thing), most headphones fit uncomfortably, but these come with 3 different sizes which was really nice."
"Comparison to other brands: I used to have some Beats Monster sport earbuds that I bought for $70 that had the same exact quality in sound and material quality but they died after 1 year and it wasn’t covered under warranty. My partner just bought some similarly priced earbuds off of amazon called ATGOING which felt a bit cheaper, it didn’t come with multiple size hooks and the way it was made the plastic stuck out more than the buds and caused her pain when she wore it."
"Running Mans review. around 30-35 miles a week. i use these headphones daily from 45 minutes to 1.5 hours. they are extremely comfortable and user friendly they stay in my ears and never pop out like other brands i have tried. answering calls and using to talk works great i've used them while doing home projects so i could talk on the phone and work with my hands. this is my second pair and my only complaint is that with daily use the battery life after a year became to the point where i had to charge them daily and the battery life became around 1 hour and i had to buy another pair but i probably got my use out of them honestly. they also have an 18 month warranty which i probably had on the pair i threw away but forgot about it."
"I loved these headphones."
"love these headphones, super comfortable to wear, great sound quality (especially for the price), updated version has slightly raised buttons which is nice too."
"I purchased these only because I needed a cheap pair of bluetooth headphones for lifting at the gym. The best pair of gym headphones I own are some super cheap corded Panasonic ones."

Reviews
"Yes, the lovely Glockenspiel Xylophone arrived safe and sound. I look forward to when he is older and can make his own songs and play from the sheet music. One day, at a kindergarten meeting with his teacher, we hear Ode to Joy being played on the piano. I even played several types of music to them via headphones while they were still in utero..lol. I will be spreading the word on how great your product is."
"The notes have a great sound!"
"It's sturdy, the review about it being loose... ignore that they clearly don't know how a xylophone works."
"At first he was really smacking the key board pretty hard, but Grampa (me) helped him to be more gentle which did not happen overnight, and he's getting better everyday."
"My young grandson loves the colors and sounds."
"Very well made and eco friendly and they work exactly like they should.. sound is great too !"
"Packaging is super cute and the Xylophone itself is really nice."
"I gave it 4 stars because there are some glue drips down the handle of the mallet, but really, that isn't a huge deal."

":). I asked around a lot to finally decide what to buy, since I was a rookie myself. The keys are not like the ones on the cheap keyboards (empty underneath), and you could really get a good sound out of them by pressing hard, or play a soft, smooth tune. Other perks include a USB outlet, which means you can connect the piano to your ipod or pc, great sampling system, and a song bank."
"Casio is the perfect next step for anyone looking to start creating their own music at home. It has so many great features and even though we have been jammin' on this keyboard for a few weeks now, I feel like we haven't even scratched the surface with what it can do. Features: Sound EFX Sampler. Built-In Microphone. Step-up learning system. 400 Keyboard Voices. 48 Note Polyphony (so you don't have to worry about dropping notes). 150 Rythms. 110 Built-in Songs.

To help them learn, there is even the Step Up Lesson system which shows players which keys to push. My kids love the microphone part of this keyboard where they can say something and have their voice be changed into silly tones."

Reviews
"He and his brother have just started taking guitar and bass lessons. I bought the 3 pack, one for my nephew with the new bent up Squire, one for my nephew who just received a new Yamaha bass I bought for him on Amazon and one for me to hold up an acoustic bass guitar I keep in my office for practice. I've been playing for 50 years and there is nothing worse than being at a gig and seeing your instrument get knocked by some drunk who wants to tell you how great you guys sound, but because my instrument was in the stand, it didn't end up laying on the ground."
"However, the product did not have any package support and was very loose in the outside mailing carton."
"My guitar only sits on the stand in my room, so i don't know how easy it is to travel with the stand."
"I've purchased many of these over the years and though they seem to be getting a little "economical" in their construction - still can't beat them for the bang for the buck."
"I like the design, but they are hard to close down to a small size for transport."
"I do have more expensive, high tech and fancier stands for my acoustic guitars, but at $10 a piece for the three pack, these come in really handy because you can leave 'em all over the place and always have a stand at the ready."
"I do not quite understand the negative reviews mentioning that this stand is unstable, I keep my Les Paul on it and it is quite stable."
"I put my guitar on it, and pushed it (while holding it) and compared the two, and this one definitely doesn't put up much resistance at all. I have some fairly nice guitars, but even if I just had a basic guitar I probably wouldn't try to save the $8 and put it on this stand. The "FretRest" from Guitar Center is on the right in all the pictures."

Reviews
"This uke isn't intended for high-end use, it's a great beginner uke or an excellent spare to keep handy for trips to the beach or parties where a better uke might get banged around. It also comes with picks, but you can throw those away - you shouldn't play the uke with a pick it makes it sound abrasive and shrill. A NOTE ABOUT TUNING: There's a misperception that a "good" ukulele stays in tune once you've tuned the strings. Strings change tune radically with even slight shifts in humidity or temperature. If you keep your uke in a house with an HVAC it should stay in relatively good tune (once the new strings have had a chance to stretch a bit), but if you take it outside to go to a friend's house or to school, the strings will need to be re-tuned before you play - anytime the environment changes, the strings will be affected to a certain degree. Finally, somebody explained to her the physics of instrument strings and they started tuning right before they went out to perform."
"She really loves anything to do with music and a while back decided that she wanted to learn to play the ukulele. This one is definitely a good competitor for some more expensive ones we found in a local music shop and a step way above some of cheaper ones. I will admit that we don’t know much about a Ukulele but we do know when in instrument sounds good and is in tune. This was a super easy instrument for my daughter to start playing immediately. This ukulele went on a cross country trip with 6 people in a vehicle so I know it got knocked around and has been played a ton. Product provided as a free sample in exchange for my evaluation and my honest, unbiased review."
"The bundle also included a rather thin gig bag which really does not protect the instrument very well, but I intend to purchase a hard shell case for this ukulele, it deserves it. So, in conclusion, let me say that I highly recommend this ukulele if you want to have a nice travel size instrument, it's playability is excellent and it was delivered by UPS on time and well packaged."

"But after 30 yrs of longing to drum again the Alesis Nitro kit has me back at my former level and able to practice anytime day or night without bothering my family or the neighbors. Finally, I went to Guitar Center to check out some of the more professional versions of electronic drums only to see a higher price also meant, heavier, less compact and very little improvement in sound-for-the-money. And best of all, the buid quality, setup feel, real pedals and overall experience put the user in the ananlog drum set world!"
"Crash and snare have multi-zone sensors which is something you dont find on many sets in this price range. Snare can get good rim shot sounds and you can choke the crash. You even have the option to expand and add an additional tom and crash which is not normal for kits in this price range. Bang for the buck - This kit comes with everything you need to start jamming including sticks a real (and good quality) kick pedal. This is a bit nit picky for a kit at this price point but I would have preferred a multi zone ride."
"Yes, you can spend more money and get better pads, but these work just fine."
"After many discussions with Alesis support, and after a replacement cable set, replacement module, and replacement hi-hat pad, I can get the volume to acceptable levels, but only after maxing out the settings."

"It's not like a luthier made this, definitely a factory in China, but you'll be surprised with how nice this plays."
"The gig bag doesn't offer a whole lot of protection, but it does have some light padding and will do just fine for storing it at the house. (Edit 7/12/13 - the picture has been changed and the tuner that is now shown is the one that I received). 2) the extra string pack was missing, but Amazon CS more than made up for that. I'm not letting either of those little quirks affect my 5 star rating, because overall I feel like this is a great package for someone who is taking their first steps in learning how to play."
"But do not buy this guitar if the instructional dvd is one of the reasons your buying it."
"My one complaint- why in the world would the seller put an advertisement sticker on the body of the guitar???"
"He still doesn't think its better than his guitar but he thinks for a beginner or someone that is still fairly new to playing this guitar would be a great start for them and would let them progress far enough until they want to buy a very expensive guitar."
"The coating on the guitar takes a while to go away, so if you like that new guitar smell this is the product for you!"

"So far the sound is great, care needs to be made not to hit the low 'E' string too hard or it twangs and sounds louder than the other strings, but perhaps it's me who needs to improve my picking technique."
"It can be hard to find short scale basses, especially at this price point, but this one hits it out of the park."
"Sounds great playing 90's alternative, classic rock, or just noodling behind acoustic guitars."
"It is fixable and for the price of the bass it would still be cheap enough to take it to a repair shop or fix it yourself."
"Great beginner's bass but order strings along with it."
"I absolutely love the look, feel, and playability of this bass."
"The price on this bass when I purchased it was low enough that this would be an ideal pick for beginners wanting to learn the bass like me."
"I got this because of the great reviews... And it's true.."
