Yapster TM-YP100A Universal Gaming Headsets Reviews

Universal PC/Stereo Gaming Headset – Yapster TM-YB100A – Black
-
I ordered two of these headsets: one for a friend, and one for myself. Previously, I ordered the Turtle Beach P11s (amazing), and I realized I also wanted a headset for the computer as well. Since I didn’t want to spend too much money, I settled on these, and ordered them. I don’t regret it.

Sound Quality:

The Yapster’s sound quality is above average for it’s price. Though I’ve seen better for 10 dollars, these are very good for 15, considering it includes a microphone. The sound is a bit muffled when compared to the Turtle Beaches, but it is not very noticeable unless you compare them side by side.

The bass is actually a bit too much (I think), it feels like the bass makes the audio quality a bit muddy, but it isn’t very noticeable.

Overall, the sound quality is great for the price. Not top notch, but good.

Microphone Quality:

Very very good microphone quality. In the picture, the microphone is plastic, but the one(s) I received have foam covers to block out wind from your nose/mouth.

I recommend you move the microphone a little further from your mouth, because it is very loud

The quality is very good, but not as good as my Blue Snowball. It is clear and you won’t need anything better unless you are singing or commentating. I think it’s even good enough for commentating.

UPDATE: At first, I tested the microphone on my laptop, which is a very good one (I play First Person Shooters often), and the quality was good. But then, I moved to my desktop PC (Old crappy machine, 2004), and it doesn’t sound good at all. What I think is that since this microphone hooks up by 3.5mm, it has to connect to the sound card, and THE OVERALL QUALITY OF THE MICROPHONE DEPENDS ON YOUR SOUND CARD/PC. The quality was fine with a USB hook up.

Build Quality:

Considering I only received these today, I cannot make a decision on durability.

From what I’ve seen so far, the built quality is pretty good. The plastic is thick, and it does not feel flimsy. The band at the top looks actually very high quality, and the material feels good. The sewing looks professional. I am not sure if the material will last, but for 15 dollars, what could you expect?

The microphone’s metal rod holds its position fairly well.

The volume control and microphone is very useful, you can turn off the microphone at the flick of a switch. Also, the volume is very low (turn the control to max).

Comfort:

I’m sure this is only because mine is new, but a complaint I have about comfort is that the headset is VERY tight. It actually hurts my jaw after wearing it for more than 5 minutes, but I’m sure that it will stretch out as I use it more. The headband is not that soft but it does help.

I actually prefer the cup go around my entire ear, but the ear cups actually rest on your cartilage which may bother some people.

UPDATE: The tightness is no longer there (stretched it for a couple minutes). It is MUCH more comfortable now, but it is still painful. After a bit of feeling around, I realized my ear WAS inside the cup. The only problem was that the top cartilage of my ear touches the edge of the pad, which is really annoying and makes my ear sore. I think the reason why is because the cup is too small (I have small ears, too), or the cup is too shallow. One or the other. Still a good headset.

Overall:

8/10

I think this headset is an AMAZING value, it offers decent sound quality and a very good microphone. The only negative I see is that the headset is very tight for the first few hours. I’m glad I ordered it.

Sony NSX-32GT1 32-Inch 1080p 60 Hz LED HDTV Reviews

Post By admin November 20, 2011 - 8:38 pm Comments Off

over all I loved the idea of this TV, and thought it could replace my mothers computer since she only used it for email and internet browsing. after I got home and went through the setup process (which was painless and straightforward), I was almost ready to take this TV back because the remote was useless for my needs. The OSF(right thumb-pad) track pad was horribly unresponsive. I searched and searched but only found others who had the same similar troubles when I finally came across a post that referenced the poor quality of the included batteries and to replace them with a better quality rechargable battery 1200 mAH and up (I happened to have some 2300 mAH batteries to try). Low and behold, the track pad is now extremely responsive and everyone is happy! if you don’t have rechargeable batteries, I’m sure the better quality Energizers will do the trick.

I initially ordered the 24″ and unfortunately my WiFi did not want to play nice with it… when I went to exchange it they just happened to have recently received more of the 32″ (they were out when I purchased mine) and so I paid the difference and went with the 32″. Personally, I LOVE this television. I think if you use a color calibration DVD or even Google the settings for it (which I did) it puts off an amazing picture. I can’t comment on the gaming lag as my PS3 is set up in the living room and this is in the bedroom, but to be able to wake up and check my email, Facebook, news sites, etc all while watching the Today Show PIP before ever getting out of bed is terrific. Good only got better when the Honeycomb update was released as you can now download apps from the Android Market. If you can afford it, upgrade and go with the 32″ as it has a better picture and MUCH better speakers… I can pump Pandora while in the shower and it is loud and clear. This is a great television for a master bedroom. VERY HAPPY WITH MY PURCHASE!!!

Philip Stein Teslar Watch for Better Health

Post By admin April 29, 2010 - 6:00 pm Comments Off

Teslar was invented in 1986, emitting a frequency which strengthens the body’s electromagnetic field (EMF) and protects the body from external EMF fields, such as cell phones, computers, and most other electronic
devices. The Philip Stein company says benefits from wearing the watch includes: better sleep, more energy, better reaction to stress, and a calmer feeling. Many doctors support the watch, and its benefits, but what does it really do, for the real person?

I was given a watch in 2005, and began wearing it every day. Philip Stein suggests you wear the watch as often as you can, even to bed, or to bathe. I wore mine everyday, all day, besides in the shower, on my left hand as instructed. You are supposed to wear the watch on your left hand, so it can connect with an energy meridian running through the hand (the same meridians used in acupuncture). At the time, I had terrible migraines, happening at least once a week. I had medication for it, but the medication made me feel almost as bad as the migraine.

By July 2005, I had bought another Teslar watch, as my migraines had almost completely vanished, and I wanted a watch without diamonds to wear on vacation. I still had them every now and them, but it was much better. Definitely better than prescription medicines.

So when I got diagnosed with fibromyalgia, the first thing I did was start wearing my teslar watch regularly again. As a college student, I’m surrounded by electronics: computers, wireless internet, tv, cell phones, iPods. One theory of fibromyalgia is that it caused by an abundance of toxins within the body, and couldn’t EMF toxins be considered in this? With my fibromyalgia, comes insomnia, pain, and stress/anxiety – all things that the Philip Stein Teslar watch is supposed to help with, and had helped with it before.
