Review by 'Mr_Owlow' on item 'PSB M4U 2 Noise Canceling headphones'
I bought these headphones a little over a week ago, and thought I should post my impressions. I work in a small office, and sit close to my boss, who is constantly on the phone, so I wanted a noice-canceling big headphone for home and for the office. I first listened to these a year ago and fell...- Mr_Owlow

AKG K701 or Audio Technica AD1000X for Kpop/Jpop?
Just my two cents, but don't get K701, just on comfort alone. I had them for a year and those god damned bumps on the headband were so uncomfortable with any use over say, half an hour. I do have a big head, but my friend, who bought them from me had the same issue, he fixed it by putting a...- Mr_Owlow

150 to burn. Looking for advice.
"I am little afraid buying something from a non-amazon store, just in case either fit, isolation or sound will be not up to liking. Amazon usually takes care of me, if I need to send it back, no hassle. The XTZ look good, and this may be something I will look into when I need to renew my...- Mr_Owlow

I would suggest XTZ EarPhone 12 Sports, they sound great, have a mic, and they use a dsp filter in the player for iOS that makes them sound unbelievably good! Here is my review of them: http://www.head-fi.org/products/xtz-earphone-12-sport/reviews/11201 and you can buy them here...- Mr_Owlow

Review by 'Mr_Owlow' on item 'XTZ EarPhone 12 Sport'
Background I've had the JCV Victor FX500 / FX1000 earphones for several years now, and been very happy with the sound. The plug is now hanging on by a thread and I wanted something new before it breaks. After a bit of research I found out that XTZ, a company from my own country, had developed...- Mr_Owlow

audiophile earbuds for long distance running
The iPhone app is a music player with access to the iTunes library. It's pretty simple and from what I noticed it isn't that draining on the battery. As I said, the dsp app isn't absolutely necessary, the earphones sound just fine without, that just brings that extra edge...- Mr_Owlow

audiophile earbuds for long distance running
Hi, I would recommend the XTZ EarPhone 12 Sport, especially if you have an iPhone or iPod while you run, because they have a player app that corrects both frequency response and impulse response, making them perfectly linear. They do sound really good without it though and will work well with...- Mr_Owlow

Greatest movie action scene EVER!!
That fight scene must be the most horribly bad thing ever, totally hilarious! The incredibly bad fight with the little model house blowing up, the very un-erotic sex scene that cuts and jumps to a strange Alice in Wonderland/Godzilla fight, Weird crap!! Thanks for Sharing it!- Mr_Owlow

Review by 'Mr_Owlow' on item 'ASUS Xonar Essence STX'
Note: I'm from Sweden so if the wording or sentence structure is a bit off, I blame the Swedish educational system!! Introduction The ASUS Xonar Essence STX is a two channel soundcard with a built in amplifier and it is a great entry into hi-fi and head-fi, it has a good set of features...- Mr_Owlow

Review by 'Mr_Owlow' on item 'Remanufactured Sennheiser RS-120 Wireless Headphones'
The RS120 is a wireless headphone that receives an analogue radio signal, as such it is prone to interference from cellphones and is easily shadowed by having a TV or other shielding things in the signal path. This said, when they are getting a clear signal and the source is line-level and not...- Mr_Owlow
