I haven't been around here for a long time, but I recently came back to research a bit before replacing my old portable headphones (sony ex71). I had given up on moving up the audio food chain because I didn't listen to my DT770's much, and the good in-ear monitors I tried isolated too much. In...

A friend of mine did a music video/rewrite of "We Fly High" I just realized how much procrastinating I've done lately, and figured some people here would get a laugh (or get moving). http://youtube.com/watch?v=P6Ohb15D0h4

I'm an engineering student. I've grown up kinda thinking that business and pleasure are separate, but after listening to some music, I really wonder why. Why can't business and pleasure be one and the same. I've heard people talk about loving work, but I always took that as meaning they didn't...

I'm graduating from Petroleum Engineering in May, and the interviewing has already started. I've been through many behavioral interviews and normal interviews, but never a technical interview. I have a techincal interview coming up in about a month, and am looking for advice on how to prepare...

I've put my feet into the corporate world this summer and find that I spend a decent amount of time (whether it be lunch hour or quickie breaks) checking out non-work related websites. Its mainly sports websites/news and occasionally a forum, nothing vulgar or naughty. I know some people around...

I wish I could have found someway to hear the cans I was looking for, but the only opportunity is in 2 weeks or more, and that’s too long of a wait. I'll have to put my thoughts down and have the more experienced ears guide my way First and Foremost is budget. I'd like to keep the...

I'm in the market for some new headphones, particularly the following: Grado SR-225 Sennheiser HD580/600 Sennheiser HD595 Beyer DT880 Beyer DT770 I'd just come over or meet you somewhere and give them a listen. It would probably take <15 minutes (assuming the most minimal of...

I've been on the boards sporatically for years, and am looking to put together a good headphone setup this summer. Right now, I use the Sony V6 headphone, and am satisfied with the detail and bass, but am annoyed by the comfort/highs. For transportable headphones I think they're awesome. I've...

I'm building a new computer for gaming/photoshop/some programming. I will be building around a Pentium D 820 (2.8 GHz dual core processor). For the rest of my hardware, I have a budget of $770. That must include a monitor, mobo, ram, hdd, case/ps, and optical drive. I don't want to have to...

Link! I don't think these have ever been released. I did a quick google search and couldnt find anything like this, so hopefully this is legit. It's december in about 22 minutes... may be a little early for christmas music, but the music exchange has me in the holiday spirit.

I saw a link from WC to www.yourmusic.com which is essentially $5.99 per CD as long as you pick at least one per month. This sounded like an awesome deal to me, except that yourmusic.com doesn't have alot of the CD's I'd want. Does anyone else know of a CD subscription program that has a...

I just finished watching Unleashed (with Morgan Freeman and Jet Li), and am really really fascinated by the close ups of just hands playing the piano with heavy shadow. A good example is in the piano recital near the end of the movie. They show the hands against the keys with the light coming...

I recently sold my iriver H320 on ebay. The buyer claimed his credit card was maxed and he need another week to get it all cleared up. I waited a week and demanded payment by the end of the 2nd week or else I'd be reporting him as a non paying bidder and leaving negative feedback. After...

I've done interviews before, but this time I actually feel pressure. I need an internship this summer. I dont wanna be the senior with no experience hoping to get hired. I've never been nervous about this kind of thing before, but now I'm dreading it. I've got 3 interviews next week. Can...

So another big Hurricane is set to hit the gulf coast. This time its coming towards Galveston. I'm glad that Galveston residents are evacuating. I'm happy to see the bus rides provided to get everyone out of the city a full 3 days ahead of the predicted landing of the storm. It seems like...

I'm a sucker for Wagner (Specifically 'Elsa's Proccession'), but I dont own a CD with it besides a performance by my high school band. Can anyone reccomend a dynamic, powerful Wagner Disc that hopefully includes Elsa's Procession? Many of the ones I found on Amazon are in a foreign...

I know I know, this should be a stickey, but I'm hoping that someone on here has had experience with problems with best buy. My friend got a Samsung MP3 player from Best Buy in June. It worked great until he tried to update the firmware. After updating, it stopped working. He sent it back...

My car of the last 2 years, a 1993 Mercury Grand Marquis just burned down. We were driving and a smelled smoke/saw flames coming from the hood. We cleared everything from the car that we could, and within 5 minutes there was a 10 foot tall fire . The things in the trunks seem OK, but the car...

I need some reccomendations on outdoor speakers. Durability comes first, price second, and sound 3rd. I live on a bay, so I'm not expecting them to last long (rust, storms, etc), but if they last 2 years I will be happy. If the wire lasts longer I will be even happier. I'm not really...

I'm not sure if I should complain to some of my bosses at work because of what I think is a dangerous work environment. I dont know anything about texas law regarding the situation, so I was hoping that someone on this board may have some experience or useful advice on the topic. As to the...

I'm looking to buy a used Catamaran Sailboat to sail off the beach in the Gulf of Mexico. I don't know anything about any manufactres of catamrans besides Hobie, and I'm wondering if there are any other alternatives? Does anyone know if any year Hobie Cat is worse than others, or better than...

This seems to growing trend. I've seen pets, teams, and even Baby's names up for sale on Ebay. I could understand a business trying these different types of advertising, but how could naming a pet after a business be beneficial? I could understand selling recreational league Sports names or...

I'm going to the spurs rockets game on wendsday, and its a rip. Not so good seats are 26.50 + conveiniance fee = $31 a ticket. I found some on ebay, and as its the only way I can get tickets that cheap. I put my max bid in. 2 different 1 feedback wonders come in and bid it up past my max, to...

Its the dull after the holidays and i'm getting alot more time on my headphones than normal and am becoming anxioius to upgrade. (Plus having money around helps). So I'm looking to get an Amp. Right now I have a POS ministereo amp. Is it possible for an Amp to do well with both Speakers and...

I just got mine for christmas , and am looking for some kind of Iskin type case for the H320. I've looked, but have not found anything but the leather case. There is a case that comes with the player, but it scratches the back side, so i'm not gonna use it (note : its the old style without...
