    Some very good reviews, downside is the large size and weight. Superb sound quality though.

    Got the earphones this morning. Played U2, Snow Patrol some dancy stuff and now Coldplay with them and they're just great. Compared with the Sennheiser CX300 it offers much better handling of bass and treble with crystal clear acoustics.

    Worth my money, hope they last longer than Sennheisers 2.5 year.

I can't see the point in three partitions though, maybe someone can give your further details. But I'd use the 1TB as possible back-up drive.


    Windows backup for the smallest, documents and photos for another and your personal files (e.g. downloads, recordings, video edits etc) for the last.

    Three is a bit excessive though - I'd have gone two, one for personal and one for private system backup.
  3. the 3 partitions was the default setup.

  4. I would have guessed but surely what use would the system builder have for 3 I'm not sure. W7 only takes up around 8GB, at least on this laptop - although I did install it myself and took Vista off - and I'm sure W7 can read a single 2TB partition.

    So those are good for mid-range dance music and heavy metal and older rock? Do they clip or distort at high levels with poorer encoding on files e.g. 192Kbps ripped from an old 1990 remaster - and how well can you hear them in a busy environment e.g. bus or train etc?

    Also, do they hold in well, like not moving around?

    They don't clip as far as I know. I haven't listened to such ancient recordings yet lol. Will do soon. I'm sure you can hear a bad master though like RHCP's Californication. The sound isolation is very good, somewhat better than the Sennheisers. But it depends what your earcanal size is.

    They hold in well too although they're a bit larger than other in-ears on the market. But they won't drop while sprinting although I haven't tested that yet.

    The last time I tried the in-ears they just didn't work for me - they kept falling out. But these, I think might work a lot better.
  7. Just ordered me the new kindle.

    Real in-ears like Eytemotic's models are superb, but they cost a lot. Denon's in-ears are like the Sennheiser. They go into the ear canal. Eytemotic's one go deeper for even more isolation. You could try these but the sound is more or less the same.
  9. Ok, I have a pair of Audio Technica ANC7b noise cancelling headphones, which are excellent and great value as well.

    Now I'm perfectly happy with them but I've also come across a pair of Ultimate Ears 700 going for only $120 so I'm wondering whether to get them as they have got a lot of great reviews.

    But will they sound better than my headphones? I've always assumed that headphones sound better than in ear phones, but is that necessarily true?

  10. Firefox goes Opera:



    And i like it!

  12. Yeah! Hotmail using Exchange now. MS was behind but now they might have the better package.
