The best USB Reciever at this Price Point
on May 26, 2014
Posted by: Skrappy
from Denver, CO
I used to be a professional installer so I am very picky about my components. Though this receiver has less power per channel than other receivers at or near the same price point, it still represented the best buy for me. I have had $400 head units that sounded great but had the most worthless USB file system navigation imaginable (Alpine). Issues like that immediately negate all of the great sound quality features. This unit has a good text readout and good file navigation, which makes it the best in this price range if you use USB storage for your music.
My Best Buy number: 0021407864
What's great about it: Best USB Folder Menu Navigation
What's not so great: Low on power at only 14W RMS per Channel
I would recommend this to a friend!

These headphones feature an extended frequency response with an increased sound pressure level of up to 110dB for accurate sound reproduction. The folding design and carrying case provide easy portability.

How Often Used:1-2 times a week
Verified Purchase:Yes
After trying everyone of the headphones Best Buy has to offer, I selected these. They sound great and are very comforatble. Much better overall sound quality than any of the Dr. Dre Beats Headphones and I perfer them to my Bose, which I only like to use on flights.
What's great about it: Sound Excellent, Very Comfortable
What's not so great: Price

Don't live up to the hype

How Often Used:1-2 times a week
Verified Purchase:Yes
The first thing you need to know, is that if you are going to listen to these headphones, you need to have a separate Headphone Amp. If you do not have one, then these are not the headphones for you. They require quite a bit of power to sound decent. They sound poor when powered by a portable MP3 Player, Laptop, or Desktop Computer. Powered by anything but a dedicated amp, they just don't measure up. Unless you are a high end audiophile user, look elsewhere. For everyday use, buy the Sennheiser HD 380 Pro instead.
What's great about it: Sounds OK
What's not so great: Not Over the Ear. Cushons do not fit my ear well.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This thing is just a piece of junk
on June 20, 2012

from Denver, CO
This FM modulator is a complete ripoff for the cost. You would think it would actually function fairly well for that cost, but it does not. The signal is far too weak to be picked up cleanly by even the best FM radios and the signal to noise ratio is about 1 to 5, which is about the opposite of what it needs to be for this to work well. You get all kinds of noise and static that you have to tune out at very high volume levels just to be able to hear any of the music coming through. To give this more than one star, you must have the lowest standards for sound quality. Do not purchase.
What's great about it: It broadcasts whatever you connect to it over an extremely weak FM signal
What's not so great: Everything after you plug it into the 12V power port
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Works Like a Charm
on October 5, 2010
Posted by: Skrappy
from Denver, CO
Brought it home two days ago, hooked it up and it works great. Had a little trouble configuring the settings for my private network but found everything I needed in the instruction manual. I do not know why so many others are having issues with this device...
I think this unit is a great price, it replaces three devices: Cable Modem, Switch, Wireless Hub. You can now buy some of these items together as well, but not all in one place like this.
My only guess on the others is a faulty unit. I recommend giving this a try and if you have issues, return it. These reviews just seem to be to polarized to be accurate all the time. I also factor in that most people who are happy with something like this are not going to post anything at all, so the average score goes down...
What's great about it: Price for all of the features, Great Speed
What's not so great: None yet
I would recommend this to a friend!

What type of UPS is the Rockfish model RF825VA?(double conversion, line-interactive. etc.)
I am the regional rep for APC and my guess is that it is Line Interactive. As most double conversion units start over $1k.
