Sennheiser HD201 Closed Back Headphone

from: Sennheiser

July 17, 2006
I just got these today and I'm in love. I've made every last person in my office try these on and marvel at the crystal clear sound, comfy fit and unbelievable clarity.

When I told them they were just £15 they have all vowed to buy a pair. I'm expecting a hefty commission from Amazon in return.

These really are unbeatable. Avoid at your peril!!

Hyundai HPD719 - Multi-region 7" LCD Portable DVD/MPEG-4 Player - Pink with Free Carry Case

from: Hyundai

August 08, 2007
I bought this item last year as a present and after less than 12 months it doesn't work. Amazon washed their hands of the problem and the Hyundai contact they supplied does not answer/exist. Looking at other reviews of this product it seems unable it will last even 12 months. I would suggest you go elsewhere to buy and do not touch this product with a bargepole.

Philips DVP3120 - DVD Player

from: Philips

May 21, 2007
Having got fed up of my cheapo £20 dvd player refusing to play some dvd-rw,I decided to buy a new one,namely the phillips DVP3120.On the box it clearly says"SIMPLY PLAYS IT ALL".I got it all EASILY set up and put in a problem RW-DVD and hey presto!it worked perfectly,but above all the picture was much better,which I didn't expect.So if you're after a cheap DVD that plays all,then look no further.It does exactly what it says on the box,and looks nice too.

Optronix 7" Widescreen Portable DVD Player, Multiregion with DIVX Support.

from: Optronix

January 05, 2007
I bought this just over a year ago to keep the kids happy on long journeys. One hour into a journey from southern France to Sheffield the damn thing broke and never worked again. Had to use Mogodon instead. Oh, and when it was working it was so quiet that no-one could hear it unless operating in library conditions. Avoid.

Sony MDR-V150 Headphones with Reversible Housing for DJ Monitoring

from: Sony

July 07, 2003
I bought some of these headphones for the children to use in the car or on planes when listening mostly to videos. The band is adjustable and on the smallest setting was suitable for my 3 year old boy. The sound is quite bass heavy and a bit muffled as others have commented already so I wouldn't recommend them for music listening however I think they work well in a car and plane environment for listening to videos. The lead is also a little too long and I would have prefered a shorter cable for in-car use.

Peppa Pig Triple (Piggy in the Middle, My Birthday Party, Bubbles)

directed by: Mark Baker, Neville Astley

August 27, 2007
This set of three Peppa Pig DVDs is absolutely fantastic! There are 32 episodes as well as two bonuses, short "lessons", one about counting and the other about colours. My 4,5-year-old finds these episodes a great laugh and I'm happy that some of them actually "make a point" in a very positive way, for example about recycling, eating veg or how silly it is to be scared of spiders :).
I noticed that some episodes don't feature the voice of the "original" Peppa, but my son hasn't noticed this at all, the "new" Peppa sounds so similar.

12 pounds is too much for these headphones. after a few weeks of use the sound started to interrupt. there is absolutely no insulation from environmental noise.

Belkin Headphone Splitter

from: Belkin

September 09, 2006
Went for Belkin thinking the quality would be higher. It works perfectly well but it's very bulky and looks like something you could pick up on a market. There is no Belkin branding on the item (only on the box).

Super Swingball

from: Mookie


We wanted a swingball to go in the ground as it would need to take a hard hit or two. It could do with a longer point to go in deeper but just needs checking before use. It's really good fun, if you're not too quick maybe a helmet and goggles for safety, get hit with the ball and it hurts. Will give an A but not A* as not perfect just close.

The Last Legion [2007]

starring: Colin Firth, Ben Kingsley, Peter Mullan, Kevin McKidd, John Hannah
directed by: Doug Lefler

February 18, 2008
WoW, what a thoroughly awfull film. Historically inaccurate, badly acted, terrible script and a very cheap rip of of the clive owen "king arthur" movie.

I would quite happily give away my copy to anyone sad enough to want it.

If you are looking for something that can equal kingdom of heaven, gladiator, braveheart or king arthur, keep looking, this is certainly not the movie you're looking for.
