Sennheiser HD595 first impressions

So, I got to try out my friend's pair of Sennheiser HD595's a few days ago, and while I didn't get to try them for a long time, I figured I'd write down my impressions here. Now, to note... I listened to them through an O2 Objective Amp, w…

Headphone Amp!

I finally got myself a desktop headphone amp! Whoo!I chose to get the FiiO E09K here (the big thing with the big dial), seeing as I previously got the FiiO E17. The E17 docks into the E09K, so you can still use the E17 as a DAC when you've…

1/64 drop rate?

So, after not using my Fuze for the longest time, I decided I'd fire it back up and see how the device was doing.It wasn't doing very well unfortunately. I remember, around the time I installed Windows 7 on my computer, it started having t…

My poor Nuforces...

My Nuforce NE-6's, after a year of service, finally died on 22 October, 2011. I don't know, this seems odd that they'd do that only after a year, and I don't think I mistreated them. The cord's short enough that my computer chair can't rea…

Baroque and Beats

So, I got a few things in the mail, and one thing not in the mail.Now, I know I got the American Collector's Edition of Devil May Cry, but I found out there was some missing content in the Japanese version that wasn't in the American. As m…

Phones for a phone

After being on the phone in a noisy KFC and barely hearing anything, I thought it was about time I got some cheaper earbuds exclusively for use with my phone.Thing is, back when I got my NuForces, I had the option of getting the NE-7's ins…

Not the hype phones, but probably better.

Guess what came in the mail today!... No, not Idolm@ster 2. Unfortunately. But I'll probably be using what did come in to enjoy the game!In the mail today were a pair of Audio Technica ATH-ESW9A's, which I got off Beach Camera. Man, the so…

In this box ya got yer tweeter...

So, I was looking around for headphones today, since I really need to start hearing what other phones can sound like, I guess. But I thought I'd give up a few words on headphones used in anime and games, in case anyone out there wants to r…

Rockin' the box

Well, I originally got my Sansa Fuze mainly because it could play FLACs and didn't cost triple digits like the Cowon D2. Maybe I should stop being lazy and recompress my music whenever I put it on my Fuze, but eh...So, I read online a bit …
