Review Ozeri WeightMaster II Digital Bathroom Scale

Mike Hudson

Ozeri WeightMaster II

Hands On:

On taking the scales out of the box, I was immediately impressed by the build quality of this instrument.
The scales are very tactile and Have been ergonomically designed, The top of the scales is warm to the touch and feel comfortable when you stand on them in your bare feet. the surface of the scales has been treated with microban antibacterial material which is a bonus when standing on the scales one different people stand on scales in their feet.

The scales can be utilised by up to eight different users, each one can set up their own profile on the scales and then subsequently the scales will automatically recognise the user by their weight.

REVIEW: SoundBlaster MP3+

Mike Hudson 5 Comments

MP3A long long time ago, when I still read GamesMaster magazines, I spotted an article in the back of a mag for this little beast..

This is basically a USB sound card, with many features. It has the option to output via line, headphones, optical (TOSLink) and can take input from line, mic, optical (TOSLink) and USB!

I purchased this for around £30 with a view to output sound from my PC via the optical out socket to my minidisc player some 12 years ago… Yet today, I find my self plugging this puppy in to output my MediaCenter PC sound to my plasma, and my Sony CMT-M333NT. The sound quality on this device is faultless, and even though it’s output from the PC is USB2 there’s no lag at all in sound.

Creative still have a ‘flash’ product tour over on their website, you can find it here 

I would highly recommend this for any PC to Stereo connection!

I rate this product 10 out of 10!
