Pros: -Great Length. -Great Feel. -Feels quality. -I use it daily with my Nokia 6500 Slide and my iPod headphones. -It has no signs of wear and i use it everyday. -Decent female plug, usually these are the tell-tale sign of a cheap product, this could easily retail in stores for £2 ($3-$4). -Alot of cheap MP4 players here use a 2.5mm jack as standard and quite often the included headphones are shit. With this you could use a wide range of ear/headphones. -Cheap.
Cons: -I would love to see this product in a 3 band version, In fact i would easily pay $5 for a 3 band version of this product, i may make one, but its not going to be pretty. :/
Other Thoughts:
Bottomline: Cheap, useful adapter. Thanks Lisk. :D

Pros: -Look exactly like iPod headphones, I have compared with the real thing and they are impossible to tell apart. I have also compared them with other fakes bought elsewhere and they are a much better clone than those fakes bought elsewhere and they're cheaper. -Price, Best Price around. -Packaging, Came in box same size as originals even with the little covers that go over the earphones. Also included in the box is a warranty for the Apple iPod headpones. :/ -Sound quality is near enough the same as genuine earphones and better than fakes bought elsewhere.
Cons: -Not as loud as the genuine earphones, which cost 8x as more.
Other Thoughts:
Bottomline: Great iPod earphone alternative. Genuine iPod headphones last for about a year until they start showing signs of wear. Mine became very shoddy looking after a year, it was me standing on them that finished them off and urged me to purchase this product.

Cons: -Head feels plasticky. -Neck isn't as rigid as I would want it to be. -Much bigger than I expected.

Pros: -Cheap. -Comes with "pick". -Feels great to wear when playing. -Strap is very large for fat hands. :D -Strap is adjustable for not so fat hands. -Compared to my friends, he has the original, sure the original looks nicer, but who cares for $8. -I have "Guitar Hero: On Tour" and "Guitar Hero: Decades on my Flashcart and the both function perfectly, I have yet to test VGH (Video Games Hero). -Comes in great packaging. Very compact. -Very cool toy for the price.
Cons: -There is a string linking the "Pick" to the strap. It's not that I couldn't just cut it off, it doesn't bother me as much as i thought it would. -Maybe that it didn't include a "Phat DS" adapter", not that I even have one, but it may benefit some people, there are very similar products to this on DX, I don't actually know why I chose this one. I've haven't looked back.
Other Thoughts:
Bottomline: Great Cheap, Single Use, Accessory for you Nintendo DS Lite. Provided you have a flashcart that is.

Pros: -Extremely Low Price. -Nice and minimal blister packaging. -High mAh rating and is isn't far from it. -These compare to a Fresh Alkaline Energizer AAA Cell. -I Put them into my True 30mw Green Laser(which is what i bought them for) to run a discharge cycle and it was just as bright as the Energizer AAA Alkaline i had been previously using. -For the price i think i will buy at least $20 worth. -I took a risk buying such cheap batteries with such high ratings, you will not be disappointed.
Cons: I didn't buy more.
Other Thoughts:
Bottomline: A Cheap alternative to alkaline's i bought a set of 1000mAh batteries from a certain MASSIVE SUPERSTORE for twice the price and they are about half as powerful.

Pros: - A great thermometer i use for fish tanks and my mother uses her for cooking. - with this little device i can accurately read the temperature of my tropical aquariums which is vital when calibrating a breeding tank. - it also ensures meat is properly cooked and at the correct temperature.
Cons: - Rather large even for a meat thermometer. - The battery is hard to access. (read previous reviews to find out how to do this.
Other Thoughts:
Bottomline: A cheap, big, thermometer that is accurate to 1 decimal place.

Pros: -A standard Ethernet cable. -Packaged in a plastic bag. -Decent for resale. -Decent speeds. -Very low price. -Came 11 days after order. -It isn't an amazing price for a 5m ethernet cable, but with the free delivery, you can't argue. -Quality connectors.
Cons: -I didn't order a longer one. -I underestimated the length it would need to stretch. -Doesn't "feel" like a quality cable, but it does the job so i can't complain, especially for the price.
Other Thoughts: A decent ethernet cable for the price with delivery.
Bottomline: Cheap, good and worth it.

Pros: - Size, this thing is TINY!
- Capacity, i formatted it to FAT32 and the capacity was 974mb. Which isn't too bad, i wasn't expecting much from this, it was my first flash drive from DX, i half expected a DOA.
- Nice, little case/holder.
- The string type attachment went straight into the bin, i used the strap from my EZ Flash-V MicroSDHC Reader. Much better quality.
- Works perfectly fine on Vista (32bit), XP, Xandros and Linux Mint.
Cons: - Crappy strap thing.
- You sometimes have to wiggle it a little to get it to recognise.
- I should've ordered more
:D
Other Thoughts: They should include more colors and capacity.
Bottomline: Its a great little pen/flash/jump drive.
Probably not best for kids who will cram things into places.

Pros: - Price, one of the cheapest carts availiable. - Ease of use, you simply add 1 file and 1 folder to the root of the microsd/transflash and drag your .nds roms into it.
Cons: My sticker kinda peels a lil' every time i insert it into my ds lite. Fixed with a drop of PVA glue.
Other Thoughts: How to setup your EZ-Flash V Plus! 1. Download the latest kernel from here: http://www.ezflash.cn/software.htm 2. Extract the .rar onto to the root of your Fat32 formatted microsd/transflash memory card. 3. Now you have all the firmwaren you need to start playing your favorite DS Games. 4. Go to ndash located here: http://ndash.eu/en/?lnk=nds 5. Search for the game you want, download it, extract it and put he .nds file onto the root of the memory card. You are ready to play. :D
Bottomline: Its Good

Pros: I bought this for my mum and dad and they seem to like it. Good projection, even i daylight, i was quite impressed with the build quality and engrish user manual, it took my dad seconds to realise how to set the time without needing the instructions. Comes in a decent box.
Cons: None as of yet. Although i am a little worried about the battery life, but from other reviewers it seems quite good. A watch is more practical, but this should really be thought of as a toy.
Other Thoughts: Probably ideal for people with poor eyesight as it can be rather large and still in focus.
Bottomline: Good cheap random gift.

Pros: Good set of little magnets. I will mostly just play around with them at school, but i can see the uses, just 1 inside the pocket easily holds my keys on the outside. Nice little pointless thing to buy.
Cons: Break easily, my first broke after around 5 minutes of playing with it :( Alot smaller than you imagine although i could of found out 8mm. quite fun to have.
Other Thoughts: Could have been made a little better. But for under £1 you cant argue at all.
Bottomline: Fun quirky toys. Not so many practical uses.

Pros: Has great build quality, comes in a very nice box, ideal for a gift. It is very similar to the old iPod cables with the squeezy bits at the side in order to be able to eject it. Makes for a more secure hold in iPod and dock. I use this with the $12.88 dock with my iPod touch and is nicely designed.
Cons: Box is slightly too big for the cable, bit of a struggle getting it out. Other than that there are no cons.
Other Thoughts: Good cheap quality USB 2.0 cable.
Bottomline: awesome price, awesome design. Its all good.

Pros: My order arrived today, approximately 6 days after ordering. I live in England. Fits my iPod touch. Great build-quality. Minimalistic design. Much better than paying £35.00 for the official dock. Will greatly accompany the iPod cable I also bought, which I will add is much better than the new ones, which do not clamp in. Reccomened! Definitely worth the money, I use this one on my bedside table with the afformentioned cable and the homemade one (search: homemade iPod dock.) by my computer 5****
Cons: None as of yet, although the incompatability with official dock adaptors which are much better, but you get 4 with it.
Other Thoughts: Great, cheap and nice packaging. Great gift
Bottomline: A nice cheap iPod dock I have confirmed it works with 1st Gen nano, ipod video and iPod touch. Definitely worth it.
