Opinions: SoundsGood
| theicepick | SoundsGreat should be the name | 
| I was really stuck trying to decide on the expandibility of the Innogear or the form-factor of the Soundsgood.
Considering I'm a business professional with a need for low-profile modules, it was a no-brainer choosing the Soundsgood. It fits and runs with the standard hardcover and case. The free leather case that came with my visor doesn't however. No worry, it was free.
On to the functionality...
Loading songs is a snap with the USB cradle and integrated software. I loaded 63MB of music in 4 minutes. Battery usage will vary depending on whether you are using your Visor at the same time or just listening to music. I have the FullCharge battery from eXtend so I don't have to worry about using up juice.
The sound is impressive. The bass and tone controls give you added flexibility with some additional Hz settings. The earbuds do take time getting used to, but they fit and feel fine now. If they hurt or don't fit, buy some that do. I usually never liked the stock headphones that come with Walkmans, etc.
The form-factor has to be the biggest advantage. I'd rather have something that fits my case, than something that can possibly be expanded with potentially expensive media cards.
Price difference... Innogear for $199 Amazon has the Soundsgood for $139. I got it for $149 and it went down $10 a week later. You won't regret getting this killer mod.
A tip from the Icepick |
| namja | i like it |
| i really do |
| erzeszut | great product |
| Just got my SoundsGood, and I love it....interface is easy to use, the GoodDesktop gives *blazing* fast file transfers, and since I put my Prism in its cradle every other day, battery life is not an issue!
Lucked out and found it on eBay for $100....worth every penny! |
| AiYuBin | back EnergyPack |
| Sounds Good module itself is simply awsome but the Energy Pack can use better manufacturing - the unit shuts off at the slightest motion. I am sending it back to for replacement. |
| stormrider | Perfect Module |
| It's great, fast transfer rate and fits into the Springboard slot just nice...
To the Mac users, just because it ain't support mac doesn't warrant a influx of people giving negative comments. That's too selfish in my opinion. |
| LightPoet | SoundsGood? SOUNDS GREAT!! |
| Being my first ever Springboard module, I must say that I was very impressed with SoundsGood and the optional EnergyClip battery pack that I just cannot seem to put it down! The sound is excellent, it holds just enough music to not become repetitive or simply too lengthily to listen to, and the controls look awesome on my Prism and are extremely easy to use.
I received my SoundsGood right as I was rushing out the door for work, and couldn't wait to give it a try. I ran up to my PC, slapped in the module, installed the software, and imported my favorite tunes. In five minutes, I transferred 62 MB of music and was in my car with just enough time. In fact, for the first time at my present job, I was on time -- rather than early. Anyway, in a nutshell, if you want an awesome module that fits flush with your Visor and does what it is supposed to do (provide great sounding music), save your hard earned cash and go with this impressive module. Sure, the Minijam looks cool and has a lot more features, but do you want all of those bells and whistles or just something that lets you hear 'em!? |
| Falstaff | Form and Function |
| This module is exactly the kind of added value I wanted when I purchased a Visor instead of a Palm as my PDA. The easy to use interface and small form factor are a superb example that function and value do not require multitudes of over engineered and useless features. It does what I want it to do, simply and efficiently. The recent reduction in price makes it an even better value. |
| Badmoaz | Love Love LOVE IT! |
| I am an excercise junkie, and there is NO WAY I would bring my visor into my gym without my custom case. SG is sleek and I can leave my visor in the case while I use the module. That's the reason I purchased the SG over Minijam. So glad I did, because an added benefit that I've discovered that I didn't plan on is that I can track my workout on my visor the same time I'm jammin' to the tunes.
I also love the lightning-fast transfer speed - I like to vary the music I listen to about every 7 days or so, so I don't get bored, and I don't want to spend a lot of time on the computer just waiting around for music to download. The simple interface - both on the desktop and the visor software are awesome, too. I love the fact that it had great big "buttons" so you can us the touch-screen with your fingers. When you're all sweaty and gross, you don't want to have to dig out the stylus and look for itty bitty things to touch. Just press and go.
One last thing - I even wrote to the SG team @ Good Technology, just to let them know how much I like it, and they actually wrote me back! The sent me a link to the StepKeeper, highlighted on this site, and attached a file with some SG tips as well.
This is the best $270 I've spent in a long time. Love, Love, LOVE IT!!! |
| No Way Jose | Too expensive... | 
| Like others before me, if this were a $99 board, I would buy it in a heartbeat. Way too much $$$ for an unexpandable module. Oh...MAC IS DEAD! |
| John P. | Sounds great, works great, well made |
| I was able to get a pretty sweet deal at Staples.com using a coupon in addition to the mail in rebate that come with the unit (expires 1/31/01).
The unit comes in a nice package including a case for the module and earphones. It sounds simply awesome, and loads all 64 megs in less than 4 minutes.
I whole heartedly recommend this springboard. |
