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.

-Great blister packaging.
-Much bigger than I expected.
-Neck is really long.

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

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: - 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: 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.
