Fixes the most glaring weakness of an otherwise excellent ear-piece But @$16+ is a "Necessary" Value, @$10 it would be a "Good" or even "Great" Value!
They got us Voyager 5200/Legend users over a barrel with this one.
I think it's too pricey but it does fulfill it's promise. It improves listening quality exponentially compared to the Voyager 5200 O.E.M. gel tips. I can even lower the volume of the 5200 to less than full max in many situations now with this adapter setup. With the O.E.M. gel tips, full maximum volume was always necessary.
The adapter is definitely of good quality as are the silicone tips but the going price is a bit much I.M.H.O.. One must be careful installing & removing the tips. Everything is tiny & fits very tightly & I worry I'm going to snap something, either the adapter or the 5200 itself from the stresses involved when installing/removing the tips to/from the adapter on the Voyager.
I just tried removing/installing the tip with the adapter off the Voyager & while it's still difficult it's doable & removes any danger of breaking the 5200. I'm not so sure it's wise that the supplied instructions insist the adapter be on the 5200 when replacing the tip.
Hence the reasons I chose "No" for "Is It Easy To Use" & "Is It A Good Value".
I realize it's the nature of the beast or by design that everything is so small & needs to be snug but one really has to be careful, especially with everything being so expensive. Luckily, once the right tip is chosen, replacement onto the adapter is not required often.
P.L.T. really dropped the ball with their original tip design for this remedy even having to be a choice but in conclusion:
If it could be had for less than $10 including tax & delivery instead of $16+, I'd have given 5 stars instead of 4 & would have answered "Yes" instead of "No" to "Is It A Good Value".

Relatively Bare-boned control/Could be better
1 of 2 found this helpful From a photo-editing P-O-V to/of which IPS screens are primarily targeted/coveted & which hardware calibration is somewhat expected. It is missing some controls an enthusiast that bothers to get calibration hardware for might hope to have. I guess that's why they introduce it as an "e"-IPS screen, with presumably the "e" denoting "economy"-IPS. Although it is (as-of-this-writing) the only 22" IPS type screen available & @ quite a bit less than the nearest 24" IPS screen, especially if you can get it with CashBack or via coupon code discount & maybe also cheaper than smaller IPS screens as well. And it just may sway some gamers away from the generally more speedy but much less expensive TN grade panels that aren't suited to Photo & graphics uses but do games & movies very well even though they pretty much have to be viewed straight-on to avoid color/contrast shifts.
This monitor is also short on connectivity compared to many screens regardless of screen type, if that might be important. It's basically limited to one-each VGA & DVI & 4 USB ports albeit comes with each cord for those connections & there's no HDMI, which is rapidly becoming a "standard". My 3 or 4 year old comparable PVA screen of another brand has S-video as well as a couple sets of RCA video & audio plugs as well as stereo speakers that are missing on this 2209. I have no issue with the lack of speakers or connectivity options but more precise control for visual adj. surely would be welcome & I wouldn't think at too much extra cost, considering all those missing connections that surely reduce manufacturing cost. however, do enough forum searching & I find there are ways to circumvent this control shortcoming & it does have more than just brightness & contrast controls. I also knew this going in but it has been difficult to get it to show many of the test patterns online for testing screens for photo/graphic capability, as well as I thought it would. Luckily, I have managed to get it to look very good, even without hardware calibration although I've not tried printing yet to verify if it's tuned well enough for photos.
For most, not so photo-editing inclined, it's probably great right-out-of-the-box for games, movies & surfing the net but it's way too bright @ default, especially in lower ambient light viewing environments. in a normal-lit office/room it should be fine from the get-go or just using the presets & probably won't need to be specifically fine-tuned.
Viewing angles are great & surprisingly it has added a bit more real estate than I expected over my previous 21". I really didn't think it would be as noticeable as it seems.
It's built very well. with no loose or squeaky attributes some screens exhibit. It snaps into the stand effortlessly, swivels well, with a firm footprint, should tilt forward a few more degrees but tilts plenty backwards & it pivots to portrait aspect easy enough. No hot-pixels or other possible anomalies have reared ttheir ugly heads.
In closing, after only a day tuning it by-eye, even without hangin' the puck on, it hasn't disappointed, for the just-over $200 it cost. If I get it even better after jumpin' through the hoops hangin' the puck on it & tuning it more finely. I may even be so kind as to update this review rating up from 4 to 4 & a half stars, since the max five would require more connectivity that it lacks.
As it happened, I still think I got a good deal but I was worried once or twice in the tuning stage overnight.
YMMV
