Simple interface, no included user manual (online is available) and decent picture quality. However light from the displays tend to be reflected from the edges of the viewing lenses, creating a very distracting glare around the image at all but the lowest brightness settings. Customer service was prompt and polite. I'm returning the product.

Absolutely the best product I've bought from Amazon to date. Ease of use and quality is perfect.
The only thing I can think of changing is the fact it didn't come with an accessory cable for my IPod Touch.

I bought this with low expectations, but I am still glad that I bought this.

Pros:
Personal screen, headphones are OK
Comfortable (somewhat)


Cons:
No focusing
That blue "halo" effect that someone else mentioned is basically the plastic covers where your eyes see through to view the screen. The light is reflecting off the lenses and it's a little tough to get used to, but it's fine for me.


Seeing around you while wearing them is not bad. In daylight, the screen washes out which was to be expected as portable DVD players also do this. The key to this is to cover the outside of the viewing area with something dark. Try it with your hand to see what I'm talking about. Put your hand over as if your adjusting the position (as if you were covering your eyes).

Once you do that, at least you get a view of what's on the screen which was better than my portable DVD.

It's not a bad purchase though. The port for the device to charge it is a mini-USB, so there are many many cables out there for that. You get settings for brightness and contrast (that's about it).

Volume is basically line-out audio as I don't see a volume control on it. I just put in some earbuds and connected it to the Classic's headphone jack which worked fine.

Still, not bad for $60. If I paid $200, that's another story.

I use this for walking and because my arms hurt after carrying around a portable DVD player. When I walk, I like to watch TV shows and movies which you can do with this unit with some practice. If you walk at night, the car headlights will be visible all around you (as are most other things). They're not fashionable and I don't believe they were meant to be. After a few times of wearing it, I get the "dork" comment and other "nerdy" type comments, but with this, I can walk and have both hands free to carry a water bottle, a bag, etc.

Picture quality is OK for me. I didn't expect an IMAX experience and it pretty much was decent enough for me to keep.

The company is out of business. You will not be able to get the online user manual, because the web site and company no longer exists.

This was good product for its price - only negative is the inability to control audio volume and not wearable with glasses.

Great for the price. Wasn't expecting too much. Resolution is better than old TV. Good for travel and personal viewing. Would not recommend this model for gamers, they may want something with a high resolution. Sound quality is good.

this is a great product if your using it for the gym on like the cross ramp
the con is as time goes, the battery life gets worse
some reason it really kills your Ipod battery, you need to buy a separate wire to use it on your ipod
I still have not figured out how to use it on my portable DVD player or PSP or DS
it damages easily so handle with care and it will treat you well.
one of the head phones does not work at times so its sometimes is 1 sided hearing
but its great to watch movies or music videos
NOT compatible with MP3!

Para el precio no se puede esperar mucho, no es la gran cosa, para ver pelis mejor una tv, la calidad de la imagen no es muy buena, es de un rango dinamico muy pobre, lo utlizo como monitor, para grabar videos con mi camara, cuando tengo angulos muy extremos, me es de mucha ayuda en ese caso.
