    Can you help me select a new set of closed headphones for less than $120?

    I am looking to buy a new pair of headphones and I would like some suggestions. I currently own two pairs, Sennheiser HD 212's and 238's. I love the open sound of the 238's and they are perfect for listening to when I'm alone, but they leak too much sound when I'm around others. The 212's are...

    Anyone else use the zagg invisible shield

    I put a zagg invisible shield on my iPod touch about 5 months ago, and I love how well it protected my device. Last week my iPod started getting dead pixels and was still under warranty so the apple store replaced it with a new iPod. When I got home I sent the old shield in the mail to zaggs...

    Portable Amp question

    I am thinking about getting a new set of full size can's and I like the look of the Denon D2000.
