Works flawlessly with 27" iMac
on June 4, 2016
Posted by: ShoppingBag
from Anchorage, AK
I purchased my first WD MyBook Duo 4TB external Thunderbolt drive about 2 years ago in order to move my growing music & movie collections off my 1TB internal drive. Setup for the drive was very simple with the included software, and very soon I was up and running with my new RAID 1 external Thunderbolt drive. Transferring all of my digital media from the internal drive to the external was incredibly speedy and flawless. I changed the default location for my iTunes media to this external drive (and turned off "Keep My Media Organized") and it performs as if it were still the internal drive. Flawlessly.
I was so impressed with that first drive that I bought a second last year and daisy chained them together. The second drive (again RAID 1) is getting filled with personal photos and documents, and it works as flawlessly as the first drive.
I use a mid-2011 27" iMac with OS X 10.11.5 and 8GB of RAM.

Perfect Memory Card

Not much to report here: it's a memory card that I use in my GoPro. I have two of them in different capacities and they are both reliable. Works as expected, and was a screaming deal at Best Buy.

I didn't buy this to save my iPhone screen from scratches: I bought it to keep my shattered screen together! And for that purpose, this thing worked great!
The installation was tricky, but once I got it right, this thing was bomber and held the phone together until I was able to get it replaced.
Thanks!

W-O-W these things rock

Verified Purchase:Yes
On the road with my musician partner, we needed some cheap speakers for our condo so we could work on tracks without having to wear headphones. We found these on super sale at Best buy and (honestly) purchased them expecting them to be so-so speakers that we wouldn't have heartburn over leaving behind since they wouldn't fir in our luggage.
We sampled 6-8 other speakers in the store, including some really well-known brands with -- what looked on paper -- better specs.
THESE SPEAKERS BLEW THEM AWAY.
Honestly, I still feel weird about how great these little things sounded, but believe me: they're really great! My only regret was not being able to pack them up and bring them home!

It's a Blu-Ray player with WiFi built-in. There's not much to it. Plays all of my Blu-Ray discs just fine, and the WiFi is a nice touch. It was cheap and gets the job done. Well.

Amazing sound from little package
on August 1, 2012
Posted by: ShoppingBag
from Anchorage, AK
Bought these bookshelf speakers and the matching 8" Polk subwoofer to replace my 10 year old Bowers & Wilkins 602s. It was not an easy decision to make, as the B&W speakers are some of the best out there and were hands down the best speakers I ever owned. But moving into a smaller house with a smaller TV room means the larger 602s were just too much to fit in the smaller (about 290 sq. ft. with 16' vaulted ceilings) space.
Wow -- did I luck out with these. I spent an afternoon listening to the different bookshelf speakers & subwoofers at my local Best Buy and ended up selecting these Polk speakers and matching 8" sub. The sound in my new room couldn't be better. The speakers are very clear but still deliver enough of the lower-middle range that they don't sound "tiny" or "thin." When paired with the sub, smooth consistent sound fills the room no matter what the sound source.
Highly recommend!!!
What's great about it: Small, great sound, excellent front speaker

The PSW111 Powered Subwoofer delivers powerful, accurate and musical bass from a shockingly small enclosure. Small enough to hide behind (or in) furniture or tuck into a corner, the PSW111 easily disappears from view. But its big bass output will never let you forget that it's there, delivering all the visceral gut rumble for your favorite action movies as well as tight, accurate bass precision for your music. The PSW111 represents a continuing refinement of the highly regarded PSW Series and a great introduction to visceral home theater bass performance. Its compact design is the perfect complement to Polk RM Series and SurroundBar loudspeakers.

Small footprint, full sound
on August 1, 2012

from Anchorage, AK
Bought this and some matching Polk Audio 5 1/4" bookshelf speakers to use as the fronts and sub for my home theater set-up. The room these speakers are in is about 290 square feet with tall, 16' vaulted ceilings. The sub was a breeze to set up and can be placed just about anywhere in the room while still delivering great bass. I chose to put my close to one of the corners of the room. Combined with the tiny Poly front speakers, my movies and music sound crystal clear with just the right amount of bass. I have not spent much time messing with the settings on the sub because it simply sounded so good right out of the box. Highly recommend!
What's great about it: Small, easy to set up, room-filling bass, not too overpowering
I would recommend this to a friend!

Offered in a variety of unique colors, the MDR-EX10LP earbud headphones add a pop of personality to your portable playlist-and sound just as good as they look. High quality 13.5mm drivers deliver crisp audio, while high power neodymium magnets provide impressive bass for overall superb sound quality in these comfortable, super light earbud headphones.

Avoid these earbuds
on September 28, 2011
Posted by: ShoppingBag
from Anchorage, AK
Type of Listener:Avid listener
Most Important to Purchase:Sound quality
How Often Used:Daily
Sony makes really, really great products. Especially their headphones. However, with these earbuds, Sony fails to deliver.
The cord is cheap and plastic-feeling. It became knotted on the first use.
The earbuds are comfortable and fit in my ear comfortably. However, they were difficult to keep in place during casual use. I can only imagine how bad they would be during physical activity.
The biggest dissapointment, however, was the sound quality. There is none. Hands down I'd say that these earbuds are not only the worst sounding Sony earbuds I've every tried, but possible the worst sounding earbuds PERIOD.
What's not so great: Terrible sound quality
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Blue ray burner
By Splberg
I bought this unit to work with my new iMac 27'
It is very small and a bit flimsy but seems to work O.K
I only burnt one disc DVD-R so far and it worked first time.
The eject button a bit small for a person with big fingers...

Does OS X support the drive natively, or did you have to find/download software from somewhere? Have you used it to watch Blu-ray movies on your Mac?
