  1. Lepai LP-2020A+

    I bought this amp as I was searching for something small to run a pair of small bookshelf speakers for a desktop PC setup. Ran across the 2020+ and thought wow how good could a $25 amp sound, right? Well, I ate my thoughts once I got it hooked to my small Polk's. At low to medium volume the little amp can provide pleasing power and the best part is if you have a pair of small speakers sitting around or you buy a pair for say $50 or less. You'll have a way better sounding small system then any Bose or PC speaker system out there. besides the...
  2. Skullcandy Hesh Over-Ear Headphone S6HEDZ-118 (Black/Grey)

    OK first off I had bought a pair of original Hesh headphones which were dreadfully bad sounding. They broke early and so I decided to make SkullCandy warranty them.

I guess if you use them for a play by play at a game or auto...

I like the sound, its not breathtaking by any stretch but its OK for a laptop or iPod. The construction is nice for travel. The ability to fold them up is nice. But the plastic does not impress me as being something that will last getting tossed around. The noise reduction is a joke, when I first turned them on I instantly heard a hissing sound. Very faint but pronounced with no...
  4. Skullcandy S6HSDZ-161 Hesh 2.0 with Detatchable Cable - Black/Black

    So I consider myself a audiophile of old. I grew up on music being important. I liked slow cut Albums and speakers with emphasis on being flat and not bass heavy. That said, I have used mostly headphones from Sennheiser for my listening. Having just bought a iPod Nano 6G I wanted a more isolated choice for listening. I decided to try a pair of Hesh 2's. I found them to be comfortable except if you wear glasses. I also found they are pretty efficient as the iPad Nano had no problem driving them to higher levels. But their were some drawbacks. Such as...
