Customer Feedback

Another great product from Belkin. I have used it when traveling with my laptop to hook up extra equipment. I have used it at home with my desktop for some added USB-2 level ports. It is great as it is very small and can fit in a shirt pocket, backpack, shoulder bag or purse. It provides you with 4 ports, high speed transfer rates and it is plug and play so NO SOFTWARE required which is always a good thing.

I need a powered USB hub. I run several high power draws: a cooling plate and USB powered hard drives. This is the only one I could find that actually told me how much power it gaves each outlet, 500m amps. The 2 vertical ports are handy for quickly plugging in flash drives.
Belkin is a trusted name too for me, alot of their products are really friendly to the Apple world. I really felt comfortable buying this. So far it works great, I love the fact that it has the 7 ports and that everything is neatly organized. I highly recommend this product for anyone looking to add more ports to their laptop/desktop.

Customer Feedback

These speakers are offered at a great price. I was a little concerned about them, but a friend had some subs that i thought were good sounding. I was impressed. While they are not the best i have ever heard, they have a great sound. The highs and mids coming from them will satisfy most people looking for these type of speakers.

Customer Feedback

I needed a passive device that would control various settings for my car subwoofer including a dedicated volume control for the sub only, I could not be happier with this purchase. This unit turns on with the head unit and also allows a separate IPod or accessory input to the EQ, faceplate illumination can be changed from green to red, (I needed Red), also has line level input adjustments so any input you supply to EQ can be modulated to be the same volume as head unit. In other words if you have a CD Changer unit separate from your head unit when switching from a CD played in the head unit and another being played from the CD changer in the trunk there will be no marked volume difference between the units. Nothing worse than having a nice song playing at a medium volume level to then be followed by one that scares the bejezzuz out of you because it is five or six volume settings louder because of a line level input difference. This unit makes all of your different speakers and input devices work nice together, well worth the money.
