Quote:   Except it's not really a refurb. It's a counterfeit. I personally would not risk even $70 for a chance that they will sound exactly like the originals. The sound is worth going the distance to ensure you have the right product.   Also, spending money for a chance that a...

WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! DO NOT USE ELECTRICAL TAPE   I just found out that Electrical Tape leaves its adhesive on the surface it's stuck on for a while. I found it being really sticky on my table top when I left them stuck on there after experimenting.   The adhesive had weakened...

The iFrogz Earpollution Toxix. I think it lives up to it's name. Really it was pumping sound pollution into my ears. A friend let me have a pair, and I took it for parts and experiments.   That sound is radioactive. Stay 100 meters from it. Poke with stick.

I tried the mod with electric tape (doesn't leave residue) ELECTRICAL TAPE LEAVES RESIDUE. DO NOT USE. I tried the 6 mod first, and noticed everything sounded warmer, and the bass was definitely reduced. However, I realized the extension was lost. I ran it through "Love letter to Japan" by The...

Quote: I haven't played MW2 for a while now. I'm sure Black Ops will be a true title in the COD series. I still miss the way COD2 was played. I hope Black Ops will excel in sound quality too. For sound in military games, I really recommend the new Medal of Honor. All the sounds have...

Quote:   I just got my M50 for $101 CDN ($99 USD) last week from a US seller, and it's legit. The only thing was I stupidly agreed to UPS shipping, and that cost me $57 CDN of brokerage fees. >: (  so mad at UPS. Never again.   Anyhow, the new M50 box is teal like the quote said...

This impression is long overdue. I said it would arrive in a week, but it took months lol. I finally found time to write about this after a hectic start of the school year.     Audio Technica ATH-AD700   Tadaaa! My first (considered) audiophile calibre headphones. Also my first...

Quote:   Well to be fair, if you think about it, the most noticable bass you can hear is in the 50hz to 200hz range. The Beats exploits this to give the impression of high quality bass. Below 50hz you feel more as vibration, but gives more texture to deep bass notes. However, it's...

I have 2 of the 25th Anniversary Edition, and I'm using one on the go, while keeping the other in the box. Haven't even taken the other one out of the box, and only opened it to make sure everything was accounted for.   The PortaPros are truly impressive. It has this natural tonal quality...

Last week, I had the opportunity to visit Bay Bloor Radio in Toronto. Bay Bloor Radio is a store focusing on Hi-Fi systems, and Home Theatre components. They sell Speaker Systems, Home Theatre Systems, (3D)HDTVs, and other components.   The link to their site is...

Koss has used the same drivers for the PortaPros, KSC-75/35 (75 tweaked with titanium). They do say the drivers are the same. Some thread posts claim other models to have the same drivers, but I can't confirm. I just used the first company I knew who used the same drivers in multiple models...

lol I should label that post with IMO all over it. I merely expressed what I feel about Bose, and my experience with the company.   EDIT: Edited previous post.

ooh okay. I know what you mean now. I'm curious to test the M50 after reading so many posts about it. It may be FOTM, but that warrants a test. I wouldn't buy one yet though. lol.. budget constraints.   But for what it's worth, AD700 is spacious, wide soundstage that's great for...

Quote: I do agree that the HD238 has alot of detail. But the its only the upper-mid bass that needs controlling. They overlap the main mids too much, bleeding into some detail, making them seem recessed somehow.   On the other hand, they sparkle really well :) Though I don't use...
