Both lol. I wouldn't have reviewed these units unless they were quality items. I actually use most of these items everyday. Compared to most of their competitors, Mpow products (at least the items I've owned and used) are made very well.
Sorry if these reviews looked like spam or a nuisance. I was asked by Mpow to review these specific items here on XDA. Plus, most, if not all their products, pairs well on the HTC One m8.

Just FYI, when you do product reviews or similar product endorsements in exchange for goods, services, or $$, you need to disclose it. That's why you'll see people tweet with #ad or post in amazon reviews 'I received this product free in exchange for my fair and unbiased review'. Technically you (or really, the seller) can get into legal troubles with the FTC if you don't. Just a note from personal experience.
Lol so the company ask you to put review here in exchange of free headset. Hilarious and very bias

I believe there's a conspiracy how headphones break in a month or sooner. I think it's a market conspiracy that companies use so, the consumer doesn't stop with one headphone, but keeps buying more and more.
what you guys think?, am I high on something

I've had the same pair of Phillips Headphones since 2004... they cost £18... What are you all doing to your headphones to destroy them!?!?
I use the headphones that usualy came with the phones. Never broked one, butI do change phone a bit...
That said, I have the same Panasonic headphones for 20+ years, that I use when at home, for better quality.
I still have a working pair that came with the original game boy, plus a Moto s9 BT headset i had for about a year now, psp headphones I had since 07 i think, HTC headphones that came with my Dash (they even survived the washer & dryer), some great sounding sony headphones i bought from radioshack about 2 years ago, but the only ones that fell apart were some dj style Craig brand chepos from kmart.
wow, I'm cursed with headphones. I remember buying apple headphones for like 50 bucks (what a rip off), they didn't even last an year...
v-moda earplugs for the win!

I'm into it, tho i dont have a car, but they do interest me
Please do share some.
I'm not huge into it but it is an interest of mine. Besides, I'm sure anyone here can recognize the beauty behind it all.
I use to be real big into it. DB drags and such. That was like 6-10 years ago though. My last system had 3 13" JL w7 powered by 3 JL 1000's... And yes my mother was right, my hearing has gone to ****.

one of the many pics of the build.....
and heres some of the one that i finished up last week.
Both need carpet, and the first one is getting something even more special.
there is an amprack in the top, there will be a flush mounted amp in there.
Let me know what you think.
nice boxes!!! wanna build me one???
I have a passing interest in car audio, just not a huge priority in the budget unfortunately.
This is what I have so far in my car:
dvd receiver with sirius and someday soon, bluetooth
http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/Products/CarAudioVideo/In-Dash/DVD-Receivers/AVH-P3100DVD
front speakers
http://www.bostonacoustics.com/Pro60SE-P601.aspx
rear deck:
http://www.bostonacoustics.com/SR95-P627.aspx
Looking at these for the bass:
http://www.bostonacoustics.com/G310-P566.aspx
I already have a box that is in the recommended dimensions for these speakers.
Also, what is a good amp (not crazy expensive) to push these, or is there a better deal on 10inch woofers.
I'm looking for clean sound more than overall thump.
Any suggestions?
your link for the subs returned a server error
and im all about building something and shipping it....lol
Boston is an excellent brand, but compared to their retail pricing, there are better, less expensive options out there.
If youre looking for some ideas, shoot me a PM, i know of a few very good, lesser known companies that I have used, and also that i still use.
try this again. the 10"subs I've been looking at:
http://www.bostonacoustics.com/G310-P566.aspx
I agree, retail they are expensive, but they can be found for half of retail if you shop around.
Meant to edit that post, i clicked a second time and it worked.
They are killer sounding subs for sure. 300/pair isnt all that bad to be honest.
Best accessories ever bought. Life is so much better! and What are they? Simply an extra battery - OEM version from amazon.com was about $6 - and a battery charger - from Amazon.com, was around $6.
These make life so much simpler, so much time worrying about a cable connected to my phone to charge it in all the places i may go in life in the past, is now spent knowing when my battery is low, I've got a 100% charged duplicate battery just waiting for me to swap 'em out. I just wanted to share, it really has made cellular life in general so much easier!

This little gizmo is genius. Basically makes ANYTHING bluetooth capable. At the end of it is a female 3.5mm jack. I use this to make my Car bluetooth. I have a male-male cable (one side plugged into the Aux on my Car, the other side plugged into the gizmo shown above). Turn it on and you got Bluetooth now. Its so damn small you can basically take it with you anywhere and make anything bluetooth.
Best part is its so damn cheap compared to its competitors. I got mine on eBay brand new for 12 bucks.....I don't think they sell these in retail stores. I looked around in retail stores and anything like this was well over $40 and WAY more bulky and bloated with useless bling-features.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/BLUETOOTH-H...326?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item43aeb15616
I just got a GS4A in somewhat terribad physical condition but it works 100% and it didn't come with any of the original accessories (box, adapter, microUSB cable, and of course the earbuds).
Can anyone that has purchased a GS4A brand new tell me if the stock Samsung earbuds have a volume control in the little remote pod in the cord, and if it can be used for controlling playback as well (Play/Pause, maybe 2 clicks for next song, 3 clicks for Previous, that sort of thing)?
Been searching for an answer but haven't found one yet, not sure precisely which earbuds are included with the GS4A so if anyone can take a picture of theirs or the remote pod (close up/macro image) I'd greatly appreciate it, thanks.
The headset that came with my i9295 has controls, yes, and they work well. I think they can do double-tap for next song in the player I use (poweramp), but don't hold me to that because I got a much nicer set of headphones with my purchase from the store (SOL republic Tracks HD), so I haven't been using the included earbuds much at all.

Are you talking about the international version or the SGH-I537? I have the I537 and it didn't come with any earbuds...

My international one did, but honestly it wouldn't have been a big loss if it didn't. As most bundled earbuds they are good enough, but nothing to be all that happy about. The shape makes them hang a bit awkwardly in my particular ears, and they seem to get pulled out a lot easier than other earbuds I use. The only reason I use them at all is that they are a compatible headset that is more discrete for use when I'm out on town, rather than my over-ear Tracks HD that I use to listen to music and so when I'm at home.
Wow, AT&T being so cheap they can't toss in a pair of $3 earbuds, good lord.
Oh well, I found some on eBay that claim to be the "real deal" Samsung product, which upon getting them I will promptly disassemble and attach my current Koss earbuds where were previously transplanted onto an iPod/iPhone earbud cable.
Thanks for the info...

Good choice, Koss earbuds are way superior to these. Unfortunately I don't have the tools right now or I'd do the same myself, I have a pair of old Koss where the contact broke that are just waiting for such a project.
I received a couple of items from them to test. I received a Bluetooth speaker and a rugged portable battery pack. They have been great. I received these items here
http://www.easyacc.com/508-easyacc-9000mah-all-weather-outdoor-power-bank.html
http://www.easyacc.com/575-easyacc-dp100-ultra-portable-bluetooth-40-speaker.html
The speaker is pretty nice for such a small size. Here's my review of it.
Bluetooth Speaker EASYACC DP100 i like the portable sound it creates excellent bass and treble sound quality is very amazing in a little package. Volume adjustment super simple on top and its pretty loud so be careful. even at high volume it will not distort handles every type of music very well. i like the carrying bag it came with keep it alll nice and clean when not in use. I primarily use this to play music at work and it last for day after days without charging seems to last forever. Syncing is very easy turn BT on your device and discover and connect. its that simple. sync and play. over all i like this product i don't use all the feature. But for what i use for its AWESOME!!! I highly recommend this product to anyone who looking for external speaker.

Here's my review of the portable charger.
EasyAcc® 9000mAh Powerbank External battery charger first of all this is very rugged piece of power bank its a 2.1amp power output charged up my device full with in around 60min or so. Thats way faster then my stock charger I am happy with this product. It's a life saver. Sometime I forget to charge my phone over night. This power bank saved the day. It also have 4 bars to tell you the state of the charge on the power bank . It's not bulky and fits in any pockets. best of all you can hook it to your belt or belt loop around your pants. i dropped it on accident in the rain and picked up was surprised it kept on working. Like i stated earlier its very rugged solid really well made. It also has a flashlight which i found useful at night when i am fumbling my keys to get the house door open. Over all its an EXCELLENT product. I highly recommend this to anyone.
I wanted to let everyone know about a giveaway they are having. It can be found here http://www.easyacc.com/media-center...c-7w-portable-foldable-outdoor-solar-charger/
