Best earbuds for streaming (Netflix, etc?)
My Bose QuietComfort 20 are on their last legs, maybe buy the same model? I want wired ones. Budget is roughly $400 USD. The Shure 425s caught my attention, worth it?- Matt714

Trying to connect Edifier S730 to laptop
Cables are fine, I'm pretty sure. As I said the thing is that the left speaker and right speaker have their own dedicated red/white RCA to 3.5mm and a laptop can only accommodate one at a time of these through the single headphone jack. So I was wondering if a splitter would work, or any other...- Matt714

Trying to connect Edifier S730 to laptop
But the system has one Red and White RCA cable for each respective sides, Left and Right; and as you may know laptops only have a single headphone jack, so I can only hear one speaker at a time. Would an adapter make it work? Here's what I was roughly entertaining purchasing...- Matt714

Questions about ripping DVD audio
Let's say for a rock concert 1) Is it automated or you need to input the song lengths? 2) Will PAL be able to be read from my external DVD USB drive? I read that you can change the region only 5 times? Thanks.- Matt714

Earbuds for movies / shows
Trying to find something to stricly watch movies with on an iPad. Do buying guides for music or games apply? Don't know whether there are diminishing returns for expensive sets when your audio source is merely a tablet? Earbuds only. Budget is roughly 120 USD. Could spend slightly more...- Matt714

Earbuds for iPad (Netflix, films)
Looking at something to watch movies with, do buying guides for gaming or music somehow apply? Also the device is an Apple iPad 3, so I'm assuming that it's going to bottleneck at some point? As in, expensive earbuds quickly reach diminishing marginal returns? Budget is roughly $120 USD.- Matt714

Monster iSport Victory
Ooooooh, didn't know that Brainwavz made sports headphones. Thanks. Will check these out. My Bose SoundSport broke after two weeks (perma-static in left earpiece); heavy use but I took care of them. Have another pair through warranty, but a backup one is never a bad idea.- Matt714

Monster iSport Victory
Greetings, Anyone tried these personally for a while? Especially for workouts. Reading Amazon reviews and seeing a bunch of horror stories, about durability issues, especially the Apple control thing. Then again, pissed people tend to review things more and reviews are biased towards...- Matt714

The good science fiction recommendation thread
It's still on Netflix if you know how to use a VPN + can tolerate foreign subtitles. http://unogs.com/video/?v=70136119 Sadly it never included the for-TV-movies or the extended episodes.- Matt714

Rate the video games you're currently playing
Age of Empires 2: HD Edition 10/10 Sadly it's badly optimised, lags on my computer depending on the population / map size.- Matt714

New Portal and Half Life Movie
J.J. Abrams is a decent director. That said, I doubt this will fare well at the box office.- Matt714

Which MP3 player - mostly for working out? Sony NWZ-A17, FiiO Whatever or iPod Touch (128GB)... others?
Surprised to see Shure SE-215 recommended as sports earbuds at a few places; two pairs of mine died after gentle use (hopefully under warranty). Each time one earbud just stopped to work.- Matt714
