CUSTOMER FEEDBACK :
This is a fantastic camera. The video and camera controls are easy to use and the zoom is easy to control. It fits very nicely in my pants pocket. The only deficiency is that the documentation for Macintosh OS use is very poor. Fortunately, I thought I would try to hook it up via the USB to my MacBook Pro anyways. iPhoto automatically launches when the HDR-TG5V is USB connected, and I was able to download the photos the same as with any other camera. The GPS tags worked perfectly.

Ever since the X-Mini Capsule Speaker appeared in 2008 we have been completely blown away by the absolutely astounding sound quality and volume that these little gems produce! The X-Mini Capsule Speaker regularly stops customers in their tracks at our retail store people cannot believe that what they are hearing is eminating from these handy pocket sized units. So when we heard that XMI the company responsible for the X-Mini was launching a new version we were suitably excited! We are very glad to report that the X-Mini II doesn’t disappoint again the boffins have succeeded in getting a Quart out of a Pint pot! Retaining all of the best features from the groundbreaking first generation unit the second generation comes with a number of innovations that combine to create a greater audio experience for the user. Larger Driver. The first and most recognisable difference with the X-Mini II is that it’s slighly larger than the original model. The X-Mini II now boasts a 40mm driver that delivers an even richer and fuller sound. Longer Battery Life. The X-Mini II now boasts an improved battery life a staggering 11 hours of continuous playback from just one charge. Buddy Jack Design. A brand new feature to the X-Mini II is the Buddy Jack system. This allows you to connect one X-Mini II to another and another and… well you get the picture. Capable of forming a near endless Daisy Chain . Combine your X-Mini II with your friend’s for quite simply jaw dropping audio! Built In 3.5mm Audio Connection. The refinement of the original X-Mini continues with the inclusion of an inbuilt 3.5mm audio connection cable. No more running the risk of forgetting to pack the charging/connection lead when you leave… the connection cable is always in reach. The audio cable neatly slips away underneath the speaker when not in use. Features.

CUSTOMER FEEDBACK :
These babies are great. The sound they produce is amazing and the bass produce is quite impressive for the speakers. You have to yell to be heard if you play two of the speakers at the same time. Although you lose a little quality when the source of the music and the speaker are turned all the way up, but then again, what speaker doesn’t. I do believe the loss of the quality is from the rattling sound as the speakers vibrate across the table from it’s own bass. I am highly satisfied with this product and I would highly recommend it for anyone looking for portable speakers.

CUSTOMER FEEDBACK
I have to say that this is a terrific product. The cabling is of very high quality and is replaceable in the event that the cable gets snagged or torn. Sennheiser tries to give the customer a wide variety of eartips, but my package came with one or two tips in which there was only one tip of a particular design and size. To date, Sennheiser did not have extras of the large double flanged earpieces. The Sennheiser staff were very nice to deal with. They sent some replacements,but they did not have any of the double-flanged pieces that are unique to the IE-8.

PROS :
- Incredible and authoritative audio quality.
- Comfortable fit.
- Multitude of ear tips.
CONS :
- Expensive.
