The first time I put on the AKG K518LE (Limited Edition) DJ headphones, I was immediately struck by the deep fat punchy bass. It was simply awesome. If you’re a bass head, you’re probably going to like these headphones a lot. It’s surprisingly good for a headphone in its price category. Thanks to Omy.sg, IMS Marketing and AKG, I was provided with this pair of K518LE on-the-ears headphones, the Q350 in-ear headphones (read my review), the Q460 on-the-ear headphones (review…
There’s nothing not to like about Fiio’s newly launched E10 DAC/amplifier. It joins Fiio’s line of many other DAC and amplifier products that are relatively cheap yet sporting good quality construction and sound quality. While some other reviewers managed to get a pre-release sample, which may possibly be slightly different from the final production version, this is the real for-sale thing.
The AKG Q350 Quincy Jones in-ear headphone is one of the three Quincy Jones signature line of headphones from Harman’s AKG division. The other two models are the Q701 over-the-ear cans and the Q460 on-the-ear headphones. The Q350 stands out as being stylish and ultra-lightweight, very portable and definitely very convenient for anyone who is always on-the-go. The most important question, of course, is how does the Q350 perform, and does it live up to the reputation of the legend…
This would be my second solid state disk. I finally got to the bottom of the occasional (but getting more frequent) problems with freezing that occurs a few seconds after resuming from sleep on my MacBook Pro. After a fresh installation of Mac OS X Lion and replacing all other hardware, the only thing left to suspect was my OCZ Vertex 2 SSD. It was somehow locking up. So I’ve sent it in for RMA. Sadly it would take about…
I had the opportune few moments to try out AKG’s latest flagship in-ear monitors, the K3003, a couple of days ago. There is definitely an air of exclusivity and elegance surrounding the K3003, starting the moment you unbox it. It’s like opening a jewel box. There is no bling in the gray box itself, but the K3003′s stainless-steel shell almost seems to be sparkling, and the whole packaging certainly exudes a sense of premium quality. Now, there are in-ear monitors,…
The Samsung Galaxy S II (SGS2) has got to be one of the most anticipated Android phones of 2011. There are already plenty of excellent reviews of the SGS2 (some listed at the end of this post), so I will not write yet another post to review the phone. What I’ll do, instead, is to share my experiences with the SGS2 coming from a Nexus One user. There are big expectations of the SGS2, because it succeeds the Samsung Galaxy…
I recently laid hands on the Asus Eee Pad Transformer. It’s an Android tablet from Asus, uniquely characterized by its optional docking station which contains a keyboard and that transforms the Transformer into sort of a netbook form. If you ever thought that the new slate of keyboard-less tablets would be rather inconvenient to do “real work” (i.e. writing emails, documents, etc), the Transformer essentially gives you the best of both worlds.
Our last Epson Stylus CX9300F met with a fatal paper jam a couple of days ago, so we were out hunting for a new printer this morning. I realize that AIO (All-In-One) printers have evolved to incorporate tons of many new features. Some features could be useful, like wired ethernet and wireless network printing, automatic duplex, etc. But our core requirements have not changed very much, and we would be sufficiently satisfied with a printer that could print, scan and…
This is my in-depth technical review and comparison of GreenGeeks and Bluehost web hosting services. It goes somewhat beyond what most reviewers write in terms of the technical details. Techie people will like this. As you might have read from my last post, I’ve already signed up with Bluehost. But I really want to support a pro-green company. I had considered GreenGeeks previously, but unfortunately, their price was not attractive then. Now, however, with discounts and promo codes, it turns…
I was quite intrigued to learn that the Nexus S is carried by our local telcos, and sold subsidized with 2-year contract plans. The Nexus S is made by Samsung, and it is the second Google flagship phone. I decided to hop over to HardwareZone Forums to check out and hear from the experiences of our local buyers. That’s when I discovered something rather shocking about the Nexus S. I was quite surprised, because I’ve not heard anything about this…
