Hi guys, Does anyone know how big are the total amount of patches required for the PS4 version of BF4 if I buy the game now? I really don't want to pay for the game, only to find need to dl like 5GB of patches before I can properly play the game... Do the newer retail discs come pre patched...

Hi, Up until now I've always been in the mid-fi area for headphones/IEMs. I've never really known what was a high-end IEM. The stores near me recently started releasing the Sennheiser Momentum IEM and also the CX890, at the same price, the Momentum being 165 compared to CX890 at 160. THe...

I've got an Walkman Z1050, had it for almost 2+ years now, at 3 years in September. It's on Android 4.0.4 and updated to the latest Build software for it 2.04. Storage is 50% full and I only have FLAC/MP3/M4A files on it with no additional apps except for the ones that came with the stock ROM...

A few Philips Citiscape range headphones caught my eye in the store recently. I've tried Citiscape Shibuya once and subsequently gave it away because to me, it sounded really odd, it sounded artificial especially the high vocals. But they do look good. This was back when didn't really know...

i'm currently looking for some under 50 high performance IEM's. I've sighted the Philips TX2 and the Shure SE112 being both good on price vs performance. I'm also curious to see how Shure's other budget offering the SRH144 would perform in comparison against these. THe TX2 has made it onto...

Now of course Apple doesn't use FLAC, it uses ALAC (Apple Lossless), now I'm assuming based on research they are essentially the same, except for that one thing I picked up about ALAC being easier on battery life. I've played a FLAC file ripped from a CD (via Sony MediaGo) and placed it on my...

As unconventional as it may sound, I did a bit of research and found that there are some voice recorders on the market that can play MP3/AAC and WAV(Linear PCM) files. It doesn't play FLAC but given WAV playback as well as MP3 and AAC, i think it presents an interesting niche for the device...

My iPod's and Walkman's so far are pretty big, and I sometimes get tired lugging around the Z or the Classic or even the smaller E's around; want something a bit smaller.   My very first mp3 player was a Samsung YPU2 stick player so I adore the form factor hence the Sony B183/B173, and no...

I'm looking for some DJ headphones.. I've found these brands in the area: Pioneer, Sony, and Sennheiser   Pioneer: HDJ-500 and HDJ-1500 Sony: MDR-V55 Sennheiser: HD25-SP, HD205, HD215, HD280   At least these were the ones the store framed as DJ Headphones. To my understanding DJ...

Found the local store has the a-Jays One and Four. The difference in price between them is 40 AUD.   How is the sound signature of the Jays?  I'm looking for some all rounder IEMs are the One's or Four leaning towards a particular spectrum? Is the difference between the One and Four worth...

Apparently released in Australia not too long ago. It certainly looks better than the previous iteration, looks like they removed that LED circle, rearranged some of the button locations and apparently uses an aluminium frame. I don't expect too much else to change though. Bundled earbuds...

I'm looking for a FLAC player along with most of my music collection. Given how fiddly it is iTunes handles FLAC, I figured Android is most likely the go to for it. I think that either the Nexus 7 or the ZX1 would act as the best options...   Anyone knows about sound quality comparisons...

The Urbanear Bagis caught my eye in the shop. They are supposedly the same parent company as Marshall Amplifications or something? So how bad or good are they? Is either the Bagis or the Plattan worthy of a shot?   I mainly focus on a mid/high range, bass hopefully not too much. Or has...

HI,   I'm having a bit of difficulty deciding between these 2 sets,  they are both the same price in my local area. But I'd like to know specifically their performance on treble. I've read that the Image One has is basically a bass cannon that veils the midrange but the treble still comes out...

My CX150's feels like they are dying (have to move the cable around for it to get sound through) so I started looking around for the Senneheiser CX series, since they sound quite good (after switching the tips).   I noticed there are alot of reviews for the CX300 but not as much for its...

I've been using the UE400's the most expensive dynamic driver IEM from UE for the past 5 months. I like its clarity and detailed sound, sparkling treble, and a wonderfully spacious sound-stage. Only thing I don't like about it is the Bass, the bass is noticeable but it seems to just miss the...

Was wondering if anyone might be able to help out which of the currently available line of iPods (excluding Touch) has the best sound quality?   So out of the: iPod Shuffle 4G 2GB iPOd Nano 7G 16GB iPOd Classic 120GB   Maybe if anyone have these devices could give some impressions on how...

I recently came across an interesting IEM as I was walking around some local stores, the electronics section of this department store isn't exactly popular because of high prices, but they occassionaly have interesting stock and interesting brands and rarely interesting prices. THis time I...

I recently unearthed an old Acer Android phone sitting in my house that runs on Gingerbread 2.3.5 and it came with a 4GB SD Card but little internal memory. I immediately thought of either rooting it and put voodoo sound or in general try it as a new DAP. Hardware-wise it's pretty old a single...

This is just a small theory on my part, but I can't help but wonder about this after having an interesting experience with two similar in-ear sets. I currently have an Sony EX300 (those vertical in-ears) with 13.5mm drivers sticking outwards lol. I recently got given some noise-cancelling...

  I'm currently using my GN phone to play all my music, but it sucks the battery out badly cause I listen to it rather frequently.   Currently looking to replace it with something differnt avaliable in the Aussie market. Looking around it seems that Apple is the natural dominant one...

Hey hey,   My iPod Classic 6G since 2009 has died... Hard Drive failure.   Currently looking to replace it with something differnt avaliable in the Aussie market. Looking around it seems that Apple is the natural dominant one. Sony Walkman is still around with the E4XX or E5XX, a...
