Excellent sound quality and noise cancellation; poor in other important respects.......2007-06-11
It is unfortunate that whoever did the physical design for these headphones chose such a goofy folding design, because if it weren't for that, these would be excellent headphones.
The sound quality is excellent. The bass belies the small size. The bass may even be too strong for many, but it is quality bass, which is to say that it is reasonably uniform over the bass frequencies, and without the muddy sound that typically accompanies drivers that are underdamped. The frequency response is very uniform over the full audible range, and there are no obvious resonances or peaks anywhere. The noise cancellation circuitry works as well as any noise cancelling headphones that I've ever used or listened to.
Notwithstanding all that, I still can't recommend these headphones, because the folding design is goofy and highly annoying. If you study the picture, you will see that the hinges that allow it to fold on each side, are not oriented at right angles to the band. The hinges are set at an angle, so that instead of folding straight, one side folds toward one the front and the other side folds toward the back. There was no reason to do this, because the earcups are easily small enough to fold up within the band and still close the band most of the way. The intent was that the two earcups also rotate, so that they rest against each other face-to-face. They won't quite do that in the way that you would expect, because the pivots won't allow them to rotate far enough for that. It works better if you rotate the cups the other way, so that the backsides of the cups rub against each other. But it is still just goofy and annoying. Each and every time that you use them, you will look at it and wonder what in the world possessed someone to do this this way.
The stretchy sack that comes with it is just barely large enough to hold the headphones alone, much less the separate module. The two plug adapters just toss into the sack, and sooner or later they will fall out onto the floor of an airplane or train or whatever, never to be seen again.
The cord is ungainly, mostly due to the excess length of the section between it and the headphones. The headphones are able to be much lighter as a result of the separate module, but thus far no one has figured out a good way to do this. Because of the extra length of the cords, you can sort of it configure it however you like, by shortening one or the other of the two cables. You can find or make a small spool of sorts on which to wind the extra cord. I reduced the length of the cord between the headphone and the module to less than half what it was originally, so that it it works well for when the module is in my shirt pocket. The other option would be to use small wire ties and make it as though the headphones and the module were both connected into the plug.
The headband is also uncomfortable. The pads on the two points where each half of the metal band terminates with the other part sliding through, are much to hard to be comfortable. I wondered why this was different from the similar Koss headphones, so I compared the two. The Koss headphones have a much thinner pad, and the surface under the pad is completely flat. AKG chose to incorporate a rim on the four sides of that little square, with a recess for the pad. In effect, the greater thickness of the pad was made necessary by that recess, which was put there, ostensibly, for the pad. The recess is not needed, and were it not for the recess, the pad itself would not need to be as thick or as firm. I replaced the pads with some softer foam, and I added a short length of cloth-covered neoprene to the underneath of the metal band.
Nice sound but disappointing noise reduction.......2007-05-04
These cans produce nice big sound from a small source but, compared to the Bose QC3, the active noise reduction isn't good enough. They're lightweight and comfortable but at the expense of a permanent six feet of wire with mid-line battery belt clip. A good first attempt by AKG but the design and noise reduction need some attention -- which explains why you can find them for about $90.

Add a unique television with a touch of fun to your child's room with Hannspree's Cinderella's Coach 10-inch LCD TV. Shaped like the white pumpkin coach that took Cinderella to the ball, this cabinet is accented with embossed and textured silver wheels that support the floral-patterned pedestal, which acts as a stand for the TV (it can also be detached for mounting on a wall). The back of the set features Prince and Cinderella graphics. It offers a standard NTSC television tuner and such features as V-chip parental controls and closed captioning.
This state-of-the-art LCD TV offers consistent color tone, clear contrast values, and natural, life-like details. The 10-inch screen has an 800 by 600-pixel resolution, 4:3 aspect ratio (fine for standard TV transmissions and pan-and-scan video), and a 130-degree horizontal viewing angle. The screen has a 25 millisecond (ms) response time, brightness rating of 350 cd/m2 (candela per square meter), and a 450:1 contrast ratio. (The higher the contrast ratio, the greater a TV's ability to display subtle color details and not get washed out by ambient room light.)
The 3-line digital comb filter helps to improve detail, clean up image outlines, and eliminate extraneous colors by comparing three scanning lines within a field of video. Other features include DCDi (Directional Correlation Deinterlacing) digital enhancement for improvement of low-resolution images, highly accurate 10-bit video processing, and ADC and gamma correction technologies. The screen has an estimated lamp life of 30,000 hours, which translates to over 12 years with six hours of usage per day.
This TV has a pair of built-in stereo speakers that produce 2 watts per channel (4 watts total). It includes a 4-in-one video input--which accepts S-Video and RCA A/V connections--as well as an RF input, enabling you to easily hook up a DVD player or VCR. It also provides a headphone jack for private viewing. It comes with an easily gripped, contoured remote control.

Wireless print server; cool and bi-directional for scan.......2004-08-09
I bought the HP Jetdirect 280M print server for my HP 7130 printer/scanner/fax machine. I found little documentation online so had some doubts that it was worth a few times what some other print servers would cost.
I'm glad I got it. Besides printing, the main use, I can scan from any of the computers on my network. I haven't used the fax from a computer, but the scanning works well. You can either do a scan from the "Director" program (or from other applications) where you control the bpi etc., or you can connect using a web browser and scan to a file or scan to e-mail. When I did scan a multipage document to PDF via e-mail, the result wasn't usable, unfortunately, which (along with some install issues) took away one star.
I'd suggest having the printer have a static IP address (you pick one rather than let it be assigned from your wireless router). You must also have your Windows XP firewall turned off when using it (except when using it through a web browser.)
You should also know your existing wireless configuration well so you can configure the printer similarly.
Configuration is interesting: You use a wireless laptop and connect to it point-to-point (not using your router). You could also probably configure it from the buttons on front, as it looks like most things are available/settable there, but browser is easier. After you get it configured, the printer stops advertising its SSID so your friendly hacker next door can't reconfigure your printer quite as easily.
It took me a while to install the software on each of my machines but it worked even on the Windows 98 system. It was 5 hours from when I opened the box until I could print from each of 4 computers. I wasn't rushing, and ate dinner in there. (I also had a few unrelated problems with the wireless laptop I was using for configuration not working on my router, which I wanted to fix first!)
Another little glitch: When I first ran the config program on the CD, which tries to connect (wireless) to the printer, my wireless network saw the printer as an available network, but the HP program said no network was found! I retried twice and then it worked.
One of my systems already had the HP 7130 printer software installed, and so when I tried to re-install I got the "already installed" error. The workaround to this is to run setup.msi (from the CD) directly, which lets you de-install the old version. On one system I got an error about the Java virtual machine not being there (which it was, I believe) but just clicking OK seemed to work as all is well.
I'd have liked something simpler to install, but I'm glad I got this rather than a one-way print-only solution. I didn't want to have to hook up the USB every time I wanted to scan. The unit fits *inside* the back of the printer, so there's no extra desk space or wires or anything. Very cool. The installation instructions seemed pretty accurate and clear, but I'm not sure someone who doesn't know what they're doing would figure it out without help or telephone support. Once it's set up, you can forget it except for occasional update of the wireless security (you don't want the same password forever!) My family loves it.
