Don't buy the Harmony 900. Buy this instead.

Let's all agree that it does not require an advanced degree in computer science to program a remote control. In the case of the MX-450, neither does it require a "Professional" installer (whatever THAT means). If you know or can figure out with a...

Not for non-professionals

It should be made much clearer that this remote comes with NO programming documentation. The "owners manual" recommends, in no uncertain terms, that the purchaser should find a professional audio/video installer to program the remote. That's all well...

An awful case

I bought these earphones firstly for the clamshell case and secondly because of Sennheiser's good name. What a mistake that was. Although I'm not qualified to judge the sound reproduction, the clamshell case was a massive disappointment. The idea...
