Enjoy high-quality audio while you work out with these JBL Reflect Mini JBLREFMINIBLK earbud sport headphones, which feature premium 5.8mm dynamic drivers for crisp, clear sound. The highly reflective cable ensures visibility while you run at night.

This was my first earbud purchase. I really purchased these earbuds to listen to audio books via Audible during my dog walks. I could not be more impressed with this product. Full disclosure, I did my homework first on YouTube where I found some very good reviews (especially via MattyC Reviews). Maybe, just maybe, the Jabra Rox beat these out, but only by a very slim margin.
In short, you just cannot go wrong with these earbuds. The playtime is roughly 6 hours, which I've tested and is about right. The Reflect in the name stands for the reflective material in the wire, which would be helpful for runners and visibility with headlights, etc.

APC award-winning Smart-UPS is the most popular UPS in the world for servers, storage and networks. Trusted to protect critical data and equipment from power problems by supplying clean and reliable network-grade power. In addition to legendary reliability and manageability, Smart-UPS have extremely high efficiency at low, medium and high load levels making them ideal for today's multi-core or virtualized servers that have varying load consumption. Available in a variety of form factors (tower, rack mount, rack/tower convertible) there is a model for every application and budget. Rack mounted Smart-UPS are ideal for powering Blade or density optimized servers in a distributed power protection environment as the primary or redundant protection. Smart-UPS models have long been considered the benchmark for all network and server UPS's. Smart-UPS feature a 16-segment LED display, extended range automatic voltage regulation (AVR), and pure sine wave output on battery. Additional manageability options are available through the Smart-Slot interface, which is an internal slot for the installation of optional accessory cards. The extended run Smart-UPS XL has the capability to add external battery packs to scale runtime from minutes to hours typically needed for converged voice and data networks. The entry level Smart-UPS SC is an economical choice for small and medium businesses looking to protect small switches, networking devices and point-of-sale (POS) equipment.

I have a 65" LCD Sony TV, a DirecTV DVR, Blu-Ray and Bose sound system all connected to this UPS. The load is at most 200 watts (peak), which gives me a run time of well over 15 minutes.
The main reason I chose this UPS was due to its ability to generate a pure sine wave while providing backup power. If you look at other UPS protection systems, even much more expensive high-end theater UPS systems, they provide a stepped approximation to a sine wave. If you don't know what this means, this typically causes the notorious buzzing sound in your TV when you are on battery power. It is highly annoying and potentially disruptive to your components.
At $250 with shipping, this is best price that I've seen out there. Unless you have a massive number of components to protect, the 1000VA unit is probably all that you need for sufficient protection.
I would have given this unit 5 stars except there is a bug in the firmware v09.6 that requires you to perform an upgrade to v09.8. The old firmware does not allow you to enter configuration mode to perform things such as auto-dimming the LCD panel. Instructions for upgrading the firmware can be found at the below URL. However, after upgrading the firmware, the unit is operating perfectly and I am now able to auto-dim the LCD panel.
Another thing you need to be aware of there is a barely audible hum that emanates from the unit. If you are interested in a pristine pure quiet device (such as in an office with your computer), you would probably be better off getting one of APC's BackUPS systems instead. I have this unit powering/protecting my multimedia equipment. So, a small hum is not noticeable and/or detectable unless I put my ear very close to the unit.

Enjoy your TV from the Holland TV bench. The strong but lightweight paneled construction creates a simple but classic functional TV unit ideal for any living space. This bench is finished in a rich black and accented with tinted easy touch tempered safety glass doors. The Holland TV cabinet can accommodate most TVs up to 75" and offers adjustable shelving to house an array of components.

Excellent stand for the price

I'm always used to purchasing the TV stand that comes with the TV. Now that Sony doesn't apparently do this anymore I was forced to find a TV stand that would fit my Sony XBR-65HX950 LCD. I narrowed my search down to about 10 models and Sonax kept coming up tops. I finally settled on this model (Sonax HC-5590) because of it's simple and elegant style. It is also the perfect width to fit my TV (literally to the inch). When you open the box the quality is immediately apparent. To be honest, I don't see a whole lot of difference in quality and materials from this TV stand to those that are selling for $1,000 or more. The Canadiens apparently know what they're doing! I was worried about this large of an item being damaged in transit. The packaging is very protected and it comes with four heavy duty protectors on each of the edges. You'll definitely need two people to help move it into position once you're done assembling it. My 65" Sony TV fits perfectly but if you were to go with say a 70" TV itwill probably stick out a few inches over each end. So, keep that in mind if you want to go over a 65" TV.
Bottom line, save your money and go with this TV stand if you're struggling to find something that looks simple and elegant but doesn't blow the budget.

What's great about it: Easy to setup, good price
What's not so great: Really only designed to fit 65" TV's at most
