Fisher Price Kid Tough FP3 Song & Story Player - Pink Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this for my 5 year-old for her birthday.She absolutely loves it and mastered the operation within minutes.Downloading stories from the website was a little tricky, but in the end was worth the time ($1.99 for most stories).Copying songs from CDs was the best feature.You can pick and delete the songs you want.You can even assign a picture to each song or to a collection of songs.For example, for High School Musical, I assigned a school bus; for the Aquamarine soundtrack, a starfish; Princess and the Pauper, a princess.Anyway, you get the idea.She also really likes the story reading function.I look forward to trying out the speaker/boom box accessory.The headphones seemed bulky to me, but my 5 year old loves how they fit and they don't slide off of her head!

I gave it 5 stars even though we had to return the first one.The play/pause button didn't work consistently, even right out of the box.It is marketed as a "kid tough" design, but we may have just had a bad player, as the replacement one seems to work fine, even after dropping it a few times.I also recommend the blue case; the pink one is very pale pink and all of the ones in store were already scuffed up and dirty.

Sony SRF-HM10 S2 Sports Street-Style FM Radio Walkman Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)As a bicycle commuter I've been looking for quite a while for the ideal radio to use while riding. Seeing Sony's SRF-HM10 recently in the store had me hoping I'd found it, but it turns out I was disappointed again.

My current - and so far - best solution is Sony's SRF-M85V radio with Shure's e2c earbuds. The sound insulation the e2c earbuds provide is simply unmatched by anything else I've seen elsewhere, including the HM10's earbuds, which unfortunately just don't go deep enough to make a tight seal.

But the biggest disappointment of the HM10 is its radio reception that is probably the worst in the line of Sony's S2 sports radios. In most pocket radios the headphone cord doubles as the FM antenna and so I thought that the HM10 must have a more advanced antenna system and/or radio receiver to make up for the lack of a long headphone cord. But this is not the case. This becomes painfully apparent when holding the hand close to the receiver when tuned in to a weak radio station. This alone improves radio reception, so your hand acts as the antenna.

Other than that, the controls are fairly straightforward. Channel preset up-down buttons that double as tuning controls, volume up-down buttons, bass boost and power button with Local and DX setting are fairly easy to learn and discern, since when wearing the radio all controls are behind your head. Wearing the radio seems comfortable, although I didn't try for long periods of time or in a high impact sports activity.

Also, I don't understand why a station scan isn't featured, but this seems to be no different than from the other S2 radios from Sony.

Unlike the description the radio is for FM reception only (no AM, no Weather band, and certainly no TV band) and provides for 15 FM station presets. A nice detail is that if you program fewer than 15 stations into the radio you don't have to cycle through all the unused slots when going from your last to your first station preset.

If it wasn't for the unacceptable reception capabilities and haphazard earbuds, that don't really seal very well, this would be a killer product.

So, unless you only want to listen to the strongest stations in your area, don't waste your money.

Sony RK-G136 Audio Connecting Cord Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this cable to use in my car. I have a 2006 Scion xB with an AUX plug for MP3, CD & Tape players.This is just the cable for me to be able to use our Dell DJ's in my car. The sound quality coming through the radio is great with no distortion or static. It's long enough that backseat passangers have control of the devices without having to reach. I am very happy with this product.

Panasonic RP-HT21 Lightweight Headphones with XBS Port Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)If you want value for your money, if you lose your headphones too often, if you wear out the cord, or plug on your headphones, these are the ones to get.I have a couple of MP3 players I use at work daily and with them I wear my headphones constantly.I either lose or wear them out whether they are more expensive or cheaper.I was absolutely startled at the bass that came our of these phones.It is deep, rich and accurate.Overall sound is better than a pair I once had that cost me about 10 times as much.Knowing that I would either wear them out or lose them I bought 4 pairs this time.I will definitely buy more when the need arises.An excellent deal, I highly recommend these phones.
