    Ear wax?

    Dear Head-Fi, My headphones sound muffled and far away. I am disappointed since they were reviewed so well. Can you recommend something that would be more up front and less muffled? Regards, Mr Wax

    Pretty amazing, a 20 pound lobster at $27 a pound = $540. Maybe I'm cheap but I can guarantee I wouldn't be eating him and not because he was old and stringy! Quote: Originally Posted by wuwhere PETA Urges Ben & Jerry's To Use Human Milk - News Story - WPTZ Plattsburgh[/url]...
