    Shure SE215 vs. Shure e2

    I currently have the Shure e2's. I've had them for several years. They're still in very good shape and are used occasionally for working out and other general use. Before these I went through a handful of earbuds $100 and under as well as both the UE 5Pro and UE 5EB. I also had some of the lower...

    Skullcandy Titan Initial Impressions

    My wife was in the market for some new in ear headphones. She wanted something cheap, small, comfortable and fun to listen to. NOT a critical listener. Everything is listened off of her iPod Nano. Often it is audiobooks and TV shows as much as music. In the past she has been happy with...

    I have a Pioneer DEH-1500 CD Player in my car, and I'd like to add a sub via the Pre Out on the back of the head unit. What I'm wondering is: If I EQ down the bass via the controls on the head unit, will this affect the signal sent to the Pre Out? I'd like do some sort of high pass...

    DIY Laptop (Dell) Car Charger

    Very Cool Super.fi 5Pro Custom Molds (Pic)

    I typed in "Super.fi 5 Pro" into Google images and this comes up on the first page: They looks awesome! I love how the entire body is inside the mold, so they don't stick out of your ear any more than normal. And the little touch of carbon fiber is nice. Google says the pic came from this...

    That was on Monday. Then I beat it again today! No wins in over a year with my 4G, and now I beat it twice on my new 5G. Both times I started in my Econ class (boring) but didn't finish until I got home. EDIT: And it's a real pain once you know you won but you have to move all the...
