"Very Disappointed"

by ITPromgr on January 16, 2009

Pros: Sound quality is OK.

Cons: It really drains batteries fast. Too fast.
Summary: Shortly after we began using the GoStudio, we noticed that it really drains batteries fast. Too fast. The owners manual refers to an optional "AC Power Supply" (Part #F8Z295-PWR) so I tried to order one. No such item could be found on the Belkin website - or anywhere else in the world that Google can search.

By phone, Belkin Technical Support told me the part doesn't exist (even though I got the part number from page 9 of the owners manual and there is a clearly labeled jack for it on the bottom of the GoStudio).

He referred me to Belkin Customer Support who told me the item does exist, but Belkin is not selling it yet (and can't say if they ever will). He recommended I use the specs listed in the back of the book to go find one myself.

I found a source on ebay that sells power supplies and ordered one with the same specs (+5VDC, 1A, etc.) from Hong Kong. After 3 weeks it finally came - but the plug doesn't fit! Belkin Customer No-Service tells me to take it to a Radio Shack and try to find one with the same specs that will fit. No such luck.

Now, I am stuck with a Belkin GoStudio that drains batteries like Dracula drains blood - and Belkin won't sell a power supply for it. I consider this extremely poor product support and will certainly never buy anything made by Belkin again.
