This looks like an amazing buy. I would love to own at least three pairs of these. But alas, my credit card is over it’s limit. You all should buy me at least three pairs of these.
Great, another user, joined in March and you only have bought TWO WOOTS? L-A-M-E.

OMFG!!! The CNET review for these says that for best sound quality, these should be used with AFTERMARKET HEADPHONES!!!
http://reviews.cnet.com/mp3-players/mac-vision-ma168-2/4505-6490_7-31517073.html
Now THAT is too d@mn funny!
Actually, one of the reviewers suggested people just buy a QUALITY pair of headphones INSTEAD OF one of these all-in-one jobs. They didn’t say USE WITH .
Decent enough price-point if you just want a throw-away MP3 player for the kids (or if you don’t give a WOOT about audio quality).

What I learned from wasting a day on a Woot-off:
Woot-off is like watching a car wreck: Most of the things you see are horrible, you hear a lot of retarded comments and questions, you know you should be going somewhere else, doing something else… yet you can’t help but stand around and watch.
Even pictarz of cute LOLcatz become not funny… and eventually become down-right annoying.
Every post has to contain lame (and long since not funny) comment such as “where are the legs”, “does it work on mac”, “don’t want”, yada yada. Lame.
No work is getting done and most of the crap is not worth wasting time wating around for.
Many of the woot-off items are like broccolis - you don’t want, yet you have to have some just to get to the “desert” part, yet “desert” part doesn’t come. It’s just another broccoli, packaged in a different wrapper.
“Don’t want” comments and pictures get old after about… 5 minutes. the rest of the time, you just wish you could strangle someone.
Crap you buy: minute after you clicked “commit to buy”, someone posted either a) link same crap sold cheaper
Headhurtage is directly proportional to the number of times you hit F5 key
I think I’ll stop for now with this rant. I’m leaving and taking my soap box with me!
OH LOOK, MY DAD IS HERE!!
im in for 2! great not having to deal with wires! Great christmas gift to!
lead singer on Nine inch nails…
isn’t it supposed to read… the lead singer OF Nine Inch Nails?
After this product, the company changed it’s name… “Mac Vision, soon to become Nexstar…”
Another brand name to watch (out) for… Nexstar!
Aren’t they a division of Vector?

Underware gnomes … that would be a great Woot!
What about leakfrogs that hook up to your underwear… or depends? Got an old grandma or grandpa who forgets if they went…

the woot off phone tree must be broken. i just got here a few mins ago. i was out most of the day.
i told my husband yesterday that it’s been six weeks since the last w00t-off so it was time for another one. i called it right.
So fresh, asking for a picture and my address…
Anyone know if these are behind-the-head style?
Yes. Look up the item number in the bottom of the description. (Sorry if this was already covered.)
Sure hope woot works on my iphone… Gotta leave for a Titan’s game shortly.
