The Best HDMI Cable on the market
on November 29, 2014
Posted by: bigtman
from Bloomington, Indiana
I bought this HDMI as a replacement for the HDMI that comes with the Xbox One. While
Installing it, i was impressed with the v-grip technology and how well the cable was fastened into my TV's HDMI port. While gaming on my Xbox One, i personally noticed a performance boost compared to the previous cable i was using. With this new Monster HDMI cable i noticed richer colors, deeper blacks, literally no lag time between picture and sound, and the sounds showed absolutely no distortion. I am also very impressed that Monster offers a lifetime warranty for the cable (eventhough it is made so incredibly well with high end materials i would be shocked if there were any malfunctions) and they will upgrade the current cable if your technology setup surpasses the cable's capabilities. 100 bucks is pretty steep for a cable. But it was honestly money well spent knowing I am getting the full capacity from my Xbox one and HD TV.

The greatest console on the market
on November 28, 2014

from Bloomington, Indiana
I am so glad i decided to upgrade my xbox 360 to the xbox one. I have always been a bigger fan of the xbox product line than the Wii and Playstation consoles. The xbox one has completely blown me away. The graphics are nothing short of stellar. Half the time that i am playing i just admire the graphics and i find it hard to believe i'm playing a video game. Add in all the xbox live extras like Netflix, a blu-ray player, and tons of other extras, this really is an all in "one" entertainment system. The loading times are virtually non existent and the system is incredibly quiet. It also comes with a very large hard drive at 500GB and has an included HDMI cable. I have no other words to describe this juggernaut of the electronic/gaming world. You just have to experience it for yourself!

The best sound dock on the market.

from Bloomington, Indiana
Type of Listener:Avid listener
Most Important to Purchase:Sound quality
How Often Used:Daily
I received the Beatbox Portable for Christmas and i have been absolutely blown away. The bass on this is absolutely insane and has no vibration to interfere with the sound. My family owns the Bose wireless sound dock and the beatbox portable just blows it away. While listening to this dock, it sounds like you are listening to a top-of-the-line surround system. Also, when you insert a few batteries into the beatbox portable you can take it anywhere (great for parties and get togethers). It also comes with a charging cable so you don't have to worry about the batteries while it's plugged in. Lastly, the bluetooth wireless connectivity is very easy to connect with my iPhone 5S and they work flawlessly together. It's an extremely nice feature to be able to use your phone and walk around your house while still being able to listen to your beatbox. Dr. Dre and Monster Cable always seem to deliver with their Beats product line, and the beatbox portable most definitely lives up to the reputation and expectation one has of beats products.

What's great about it: Rich-deep bass, crystal clear notes and tones, very portable and mobile, easy to use, bluetooth connectivity, durability
What's not so great: Pretty pricey, but worth the investment.

Amazing headphones and very price right!

How Often Used:3-5 times a week
I got these headphones with my iPhone 5. I am extremely satisfied with these headphones. I already own a pair of Klipsch earbuds that I am extremely satisfied with. But, I love the tight and secure fit these headphones have. Because of this I use them at the gym and when I'm staying active. The sound is very clear and I like the bass. You can't beat these headphones for 30 bucks.
What's great about it: Cheap for the quality, good sound, great bass, really tight fit, and a durable cord.
What's not so great: Honestly, nothing.

The best iPhone case i've ever owned.

I have always been reluctant for buying Otter Box cases since they first became popular. I always read and heard that the cases were very bulky and hard to carry around in your pocket. When I saw how compact and fitting the commuter series was, I decided to take my chances. I am absolutely glad I did. The case protects your iPhone extremely well! I have already dropped it on my wooden floors and no damage was done! PHEW... Anyway, the case was very easy to assemble and put my phone into because there is only two pieces. The case doesn't show dirt or blemishes (which is important since it's a white case). I live a very active lifestyle. I am a runner, hiker, and biker, and the compact design and protection are perfect for my lifestyle. You can't beat this case for such a cheap price!

I upgraded to this iPhone 5 from my iPhone 4S. I am disappointed I didn't upgrade sooner. The biggest improvement I noticed from my pervious 4S is the overall performance improvements of the iPhone 5. It feels like I went from a horse and buggy too a Ferrari. The iPhone 5 is THAT much faster. Surfing the web can be done in a snap. Apps load and perform flawlessly and extremely swiftly. The next feature I noticed on the new iPhone is it's overall cosmetics. It is very slim, long, and just looks sexy! The peal white accented with the silver pieces makes this phone shine like a gem! The new camera has been improved a lot too, the pictures are sharper and less distorted. With all of the performance upgrades, I haven't noticed any battery changes! If you are a regular iPhone owner, or are looking to upgrade to a smart phone... The iPhone 5 will blow away all expectations!!
What's great about it: Super fast A6 chip, siri, stunning retina display, EXTREMELY fast 4G LTE, great camera, and it's apple!
What's not so great: i didn't buy it sooner!

I am new to the tablet world, however, i loved the concept of having a more mobile computer that fits in your hand. After conducting extensive research, reading and watching reviews and review videos, and followed by product comparisons, i knew the iPad with the retina display was the best product. The first thing i noticed with this tablet is just how darn fast it is! All apps run very smoothly and efficiently, and i hardly notice any buffering or lag with my slow, rural internet. The next and best feature is the retina display. Reading on the i-books app is even more enjoyable with such rich and clear texts that the retina display provides. Viewing and editing pictures is a breeze with the retina display. You can now see every detail. The next best feature is the use of apps. All apps that you enjoy on your iPhone are 100x better on an iPad. The canvas is larger and the software is faster. The final feature of this beast is the battery life. It practically never drains! To sum it up, if you are interested in a tableters life, join millions of extremely satisfied people and take the iPad route.
What's great about it: The retina display is absolutely flawless, very very long battery life, thin and extremely durable, & very responsive.
What's not so great: Kinda pricey, but totally worth it!

The Best Halo Yet.

I have been an avid since the Halo 2 days. I am going to be honest, i was worried about 343 industries taking over Bungie's masterpiece. Boy did 343 out due themselves and silence all speculators. The graphics on this game are better than any i have ever seen. The sounds of the weapons firing, the explosions rattling the earth, and the artificial promethean sounds are astounding. The campaign was very exciting and provided great variety, you never settle into the gameplay and feel it becoming repetitive. I bought the game for the multiplayer however. And... I LOVE IT!!! The weapons are balanced extremely well, the ordinance drops bring a more strategical aspect to Halo, the hundreds of armor pieces keeps the player wanting more, and the game types are perfect in their own ingenuity. GAME OF THE YEAR in my opinion. If you are interested in giving the Halo series a try or are a longtime player, don't hesitate to buy this masterpiece.
What's great about it: Stunning graphics, rich and crisp sound, adrenaline pumping gameplay, addicting multiplayer, and quite frankly, its Halo
What's not so great: Nothing!

The best headphones i've ever used.
on December 7, 2011
Posted by: bigtman
from Ossian,Indiana
How Often Used:Daily
First off, i've owned these headphones for about two weeks, and i couldn't be any happier. The sounds on these is AMAZING! The clarity and attention to detail is unmatched. It's pretty wild hearing background instruments, singing, and/or sounds that you've never heard in songs you have listened too for ages. The bass on these are superb. With bass boost on my iPhone, these headphones really give a sub woofer experience. The next thing i am really impressed with is the craftsmanship. The headphones are made of a high grade aluminum, making them very sturdy, sleek, and not to heavy. The cushioning on the top band and the ear cups are really squishy and soft. Another big plus for me is the material doesn't make my ears sweat like previous cloth ear cushions i have used. Lastly. the cord for these headphones is unlike any other cord i have ever seen. It is really long, extremely durable, doesn't tangle, and the audio plugs are reinforced so you can pretty much forget about the inside wires becoming exposed. But what else can you expect from Monster Cable? In my opinion, if you are looking to step your musical experience, whether you are a DJ or an avid listener(like me) and have the money to spend, buy these headphones.
What's great about it: Best sound quality, extremely comfortable, very well made, one year warranty included, and the professional cord.
What's not so great: Little Pricey.. But totally worth every penny!

Best 1st person shooter. EVER..
on November 13, 2011
Posted by: bigtman
from Ossian,Indiana
First off, as i can tell, alot of people are giving this game a hard time. But in my opinion, i honestly cannot see the criticism this game has received. Yes, i do agree the game plays alot like mw2. But why change the engine of something that is so good? I do agree that mw2 was over powered and had its flaws. But was overall a good game. The campaign in MW3 was the best of any call of duty. It really tied in the other campaigns from the previous modern warefares. The different vehicle usage and the different airstrikes at your disposal really set a different tempo from the ordinary game play. Although the campaign was pretty short, it was jam packed with explosions and was a wonderful experience to play. Next is the online game play. The online is a lot like MW2, but this should be expected considering they're using the same engine. The graphics and audio are enhanced tremendously since MW2. I love the new prestige token system. You receive a prestige token from the previous call of duties that you prestiged in and for every time you prestige in MW3. So its nice to be rewarded for playing the previous games. The guns are similar to MW2, but with a lot of new editions, more so in the launcher and sniper rifle department. The new weapon proficiency system is genius. It's so rewarding leveling up your specific weapon and unlocking new camos, attachments, and proficiencies like kick(reduces the recoil of your weapon). The online is also way more balanced than MW2, with no game ending kill streaks, last stand, or one man army, this game is a way better experience. Overall, this game is flat out amazing. I strongly recommend MW3 to any fan of the Call of Duty series, or even just a fan of first person shooters.
What's great about it: Amazing graphics and audio, new prestige token and proficiency system, new survival mode, overall game play.
What's not so great: Survival mode is only 1-2 player.

Laser Function... Going to guess this detector only detects Laser Function once a laser device/gun is activated. Hence you are caught unless a vehicle in front of you gets laser zapped and the detector detects that activity. Is this a correct assumption?
Yes. Works very well on interstates.

I have a Rocky Mountain Radar RMR-8RDS It is getting older. It is hard wired front & rear I have been protected & no tickets in almost 3 years. It offers rear protection from Radar also. Will this Escort max 360 offer rear protection & what range?
Hence the 360 name, it offers 360 protection. I have picked up radar about 3-4 miles out in all directions. Absolutely incredible technology.

How can it be mounted and where?
It comes with an incredible windshield mount and that works very well! I mounted it on my windshield just above my car's navigation system. You can also buy a kit to wire the car internally.

Possibly, i do know if the console is moved while a disc is playing it can scratch and damage the disc. I personally downloaded the games to my hard rive and that way the disc doesn't actually run while the game is being played to prevent the disc from scratching. Hope that helps!
