Review by 'dxps26' on item 'Etymotic Research ER-4PT In-Ear Earphones'
let's keep this short, simple and sweet-just like the earphones being reviewed. Why are these things so good?? could it be the superb balance between lows, mids and highs? or the excellent isolation, that lets you enjoy your music at lower volumes while not skipping any of the details?? Are...- dxps26

LG G2 Mini-Review
the Wolfson-equipped GS3 does have a great reputation! And it is very hard to get in the States. I guess after dropping a good chunk of money on the GS3, you'd really want to stick with it for as long as possible and get the most from your investment. it wouldnt make sense to upgrade if your...- dxps26

LG G2 Mini-Review
Hello all! After 2 years of bouncing between my HTC Droid Incredible 2, A Sansa Clip zip and iPhone 4, I decided it was time to go for broke and get a new device. What caught my attention on the G2 was the native Hi-Resolution Support, upto 24bit/192Khz - seasoned Android users will know...- dxps26

Rugged, field headphones needed
i'd vote for the HD25-1 II. closed back - yes circumaural - nope, but this makes them very compact, and can be stowed away almost anywhere. plus, they're light as a feather. build quality - nigh-indestructible, field-strip design, all parts user replaceable. steel cable is...- dxps26

Buying new laptop, have some questions.
Skidood, I'm in the same dillema. I've been looking to replace my 5-year old toshiba Satellite which is barely running thanks to XFCE's light system resource usage. Windows7 would be murder on this poor old dog. I've spied the Thinkpad X220 and the T420 as possible replacements, but they...- dxps26

AKG K601 & K612 Pro Owners... UNITE!!
Quote: The foam discs on the K601/701/702 are acoustic diffusers of sorts. try it out. the soundstage will become 'tighter' (not collapsed) and the highs are going to be a lot peakier. soundstaging in headphones is a product of the treble performance, and its relation to how the highly...- dxps26

hd25-1 impressions thread
Putente, I acquired the HD25-1 II a few weeks ago. The Clamping force of the headband will feel too strong initially, but let your body adjust to the unusual forces it is experiencing. Give them at least 2 weeks to settle over your ears. This is just how all supra-aural headphones are. They...- dxps26

Nokia N9, N900, Iphone3GS Music player review and shootout
Bequezox, you have reminded me of why i got the N900 in the first place - 32 gigabytes of onboard memory, plus another 8 or 16 on the mircoSDHC, means a lot of music, Especially at the bargain-basement price i paid for it. unfortunately, as good as the hardware is, the UI is just terrible, and...- dxps26

AKG K601 & K612 Pro Owners... UNITE!!
James, the pads are fairly easy to clean. A large bowl of lukewarm water with some mild detergent, like the one used on wool, or your favourite shampoo will do the trick. Just be careful not to bend and twist the plastic bits on the rear too much, or they might crack. Soak the pads for a bit and...- dxps26

iBasso T5 - A newly designed small portable. Specifications.
X2. I just got a HD25-1 II last week. I use it with my phone (HTC DROID Incredible 2) on my daily one hour commute on the train. The phones sound good, but struggle with the cellphone's wimpy amp. Bass is uncontrollable, and distortion creeps in. I often end up keeping the volume on the handset...- dxps26

HD 600 stock cable
The Stock Cable is a 4-conductor (2 for each channel with separate ground) design. You can easily reterminate to an XLR, but the advantage will be minimal. I suggest a Custom Cable for your Balanced Operation needs. EDIT-you can also build a quick XLR to TRS female adapter to use between...- dxps26

Snipping the cable off a Grado SR325 - Advisable?
Deepak bhai, Please don't mutilate that lovely Grado Cable. Get the Grado Adapter, or, if you're handy with a Soldering Iron, ride down to Lamington Road, and find some good Neutrik 1/4 female connectors and a 3.5mm male plugs, along with a foot or so of Heatshrink, and some good...- dxps26

Grado "SR325i" and "is" (some questions)
The Gold SR325i is sadly, no longer available New, unless your seller had some NOS examples lying around. the SR325is is the same Can, with a Silver Finish instead of gold. Lately, Grado has been Pushing a New Chrome finish on these and the PS1000, and, i'm not a fan of the look. There are some...- dxps26
