I work at a start-up and it's fairly quite at times when we're crunching away. The problem is, the M-80s which arrived in the mail today are fantastic, but they *do* leak sound. Enough that I believe it will be heard from the cubes around me.  The way I tested it was simple. I put the sound...

I am looking for a decent pair of headphones for work. Either ear buds, or even better, behind the head headphones.   I mostly listen to podcasts at work so comfort and portability are my most important desired qualities.   This may be too much of a "low-fi" question for these forums...

Lets ignore the fact that consoles are mass produced allowing the price to be much cheaper. However, this may at best be a 30% reduction in costs. With a 360, one simply needs to plug it directly into a receiver and you get some amazing sound quality. The same happens to be true with a PS3...

There are a ton of headphones out there, and many are very expensive. It is an investment in entertainment. However, with so many choices out there, it is so difficult to simply go off of aggregated opinions on these headphones. Quite frankly, I am beginning to think that it is impossible to...

I am planning to buy a Astro Mixamp with a pair of quality headphones of PC/Console gaming and watching movies. Movies would be watched either via bluray on the PS3 or x264 on my PC. On the non-PC front, I am all set. On the PC front I have an onboard audio chipset, the Realtek ALC889A...
