RCA RS2652 Stereo System Our Rating:

This stereo system is a great choice. It appeals to the eye, has great sound, and has many features. We like almost everything about it.

Let’s start with the features. It has a 5-disc changer with the ability to change discs in the changer while a disc is playing. It can play all sorts of audio types – from a regular CD, to an mp3 or wma CD, as well as CD-Rs and CD-RWs. It also has a regular AM/FM tuner and and auxiliary mode.

The speakers are not attached to the base unit. They have separate speaker wires for the subwoofer inside of them, along with the normal speaker wires. This is what gives the speakers great sound. The system also has a headphone port.

The stereo has many other simple features, such as display brightness, multiple equalizer filters, including a custom filter, a demo mode, and various play modes.

There are a couple things that didn’t sit so well with us though. The disc changer broke pretty quickly. It still works fine, but it slides out funny and slow, and sometimes needs help getting back in. The AV input seemes misplaced in the front as well; however it still works fine. Also, the remote for the stereo often has many issues – it does commands other than the buttons you press quite often. Other than this, the stereo is wonderful and produces amazing sound.

Koss “The Plug” Earbuds Our Rating:

So my old headphones broke, and I headed out to the store to grab some new ones. I grabbed the cheapest ones i could find there at $15, and the quality was way better than I expected out of some cheap earbuds.

The first thing that stood out was the memory foam on the earbuds. It makes the whole experience so much better. They fit very comfortably in your ears. Even after hours upon hours of constant use, my ears felt perfectly fine. The foam also shapes to fit your ears, making the sound quality amazing. They block out a lot of the surrounding noise, and lock in the sound for deep bass and crystal clear audio. Additionally, anyone else can hardly hear any noise from the earbuds, if at all, even when they are playing loudly.

Two extra memory foam covers are also included in the package, in case they get damaged or lost. They are also under Koss’s wonderful lifetime warranty. They have a no questions asked lifetime guarantee on their product.

However, they do take some getting used to. At first, they kept falling out of my ears, and they still do come out pretty easily. Aside from this, they are great headphones. We think you should try these out if you are considering a new set of headphones or earbuds – great sound quality and comfort while keeping your wallet full.

Cobra DC8000 Digital Camera Our Rating:

This digital camera is a great buy. It is small and lightweight, running off of 2 AAA batteries. With a picture resolution of 8.0 Mega Pixels, this camera can hardly be beat! It is easy to use, and the button layout is simple. It also features a 2-inch color screen, an SD card slot for external storage, a USB interface, and 8X digital zoom.

This camera works fast! It turns on quickly, and just after you take a snapshot, it’s ready to be viewed instantly. The pictures are nice and clear, as well as vibrant. It also has many modes. It can act as a camera, a video recorder, an audio recorder, and a PC camera. It also has different visual styles that can be applied to the photos, such as black and white and tungsten.

There are a couple areas where this camera lacks, however. First off, the zooming is only digital. This means that as you zoom in, the picture quality is reduced. After testing, a picture taken while zoomed in fully has very poor quality. Also, while it can take videos with sound and has an audio recorder, the camera has no speaker itself. This means that to hear the audio in a video, you must connect it to a TV or play it on your computer. You cannot even access audio recordings on the camera, those must also be played on another device. Otherwise, this camera is a great choice, and earns four stars from us.
