Dealextreme – Buy Gadgets Real Cheap
I was on the look out for a nice, reliable online shopping site to buy a few products. And I stumbled upon Dealextreme .com.
A cursory glance at the site gave me a whopping variety of devices and gadgets for all kinds of tasks. But what caught my eye was the ultra low price and their free shipping policy around the world.
As I had some money in my Paypal account, I decided to use it to buy a couple of products from Dealextreme that caught my fancy.
I zeroed in on the following products -
- A desktop microphone
- Air inflated neck cushion sleeping pillow
- Memory foam noise isolation in-ear ear plugs
Total price came to just $11.98. Remember that shipping is free. So this is the only amount I had to pay. I received the package in exactly 14 business days after they shipped the product. Here are a few snaps of the package and the goods I received.

This is a sturdy microphone that comes with its own stand.
The desktop microphone in front of my computer.
The desktop microphone is very good barring one drawback namely, while recording voice (eg speaking into the microphone), you have to make sure the microphone is not more than 6 inches from your mouth for your voice to be picked up.
Air inflated neck cushion sleeping pillow
The sleeping pillow is made of a soft suede kind of material which is nice to touch.

The pillow snugly warps around your neck and gives your head a nice cushioning effect. This pillow is quite useful when traveling by bus or train.
Noise isolation ear plugs - simple yet functional.
Just insert the ear plugs into your ear and effectively shut off all the external sounds. Very good product and value for money.
