Weaknesses: Everything Review: its loud i found out a way to fix it and make it a littler quitter there's three nubs that push against the motor. I used a dermal tool and sanded it down a little and it stropped being so loud. I guess the motor was vibrating against the nubs, after sanding it down it was better. Conclusion: I wouldn't recommend getting it but if you sweat allot or if you already own one sand the nubs down there's three of them. after sanding i give it a Rating: 5 out of 10

Took it apart and witha q-tip applied some sleek to the fan shaft while it was spinning. It immediately got quieter. Then I peeled off the masking tape around the fan and cut a piece of heat shrink tube (rubber) and wrapped that around the fan and put it all back together. I wouldn't say it was quiet, but it cut the noise by at least %30 and took out the head rattling buzz completely. It's pretty useable now and I can hear over it fine. And yes this comment is 3 years later, and no they didn't use any of this time to improve the design Last edited on Friday, January 25th, 2008 at 5:21 pm PST
