Headphone belong to that category of peripherals that both at dirt cheap and sky high prices. Klipsch Image S4 is a cheap set of headphones which comes at an $80 price tag and still perform like those headphones which cost more than $100. They have noise cancellation feature which make sure outside noise stays out. If you are looking for replacement for your current mp3 player headphones, we would certainly recommend you to go for this. The oval ear tips on the headphones feel really comfortable and soft on the ears. Klipsch gives you three ear tips, one of them is for really large ears. But even these three sizes may not fit every ear. We were lucky because the tips sat comfortably in our ears and didn’t come out easily. Other accessories with the Klipsch Image S4 include an tool to clean ear wax and a metallic box to keep the ear buds. We think that the box was given to protect the delicate cables. The box looks a bit old fashioned, though. Klipsch  [...]

Lady Gaga perhaps made sure that this pair of headphones really looks good before she gave permission for her name to be used on the set. Some might feel that the manufacturers have tried to be too fashionable but looking at Lady Gaga’s lifestyle, we completely understand. The price of these super sexy headphones is $120 but you can get it around for $100 if purchased online. The stylish headphones are made for women and we doubt if men would buy it even if it didn’t have the name of the pop star on the set. The build of the headphone is too feminine for men, especially with the attached triangular earpieces. While the triangular blocks on the headphones look good they are not ergonomically comfortable in the ear because the edges of the triangle blocks press against the skin of the ear and hence cause discomfort. It also makes the buds come out of the ear occasionally. The manufacturer bundles three sizes of the silicone made ear tips  [...]

Skullcandy is not a new name in the head phone market they have been around for a while and are making good sets of earphones. The head phones as mentioned earlier come in variety of colors and there are indeed lots of colors to choose from. The cables are covered with cloth so you don’t need to fear that they will suffer from wear and tear as times passes by. We are used to using headphones which have plastic exteriors and we have suffered a lot using them. Headphones of products such as iPod touch wound around the device when they are not in use. This reduces the life of the wire and there have been complaints that the wire tears on the end of the plug which goes into the iPod. Not only this, when the wire is wound around the iPod touch, the wire gets stretched and hence sometimes one ear piece stops functioning or the sound quality of the head phone drops. You won’t face any problems with these sets though as they are cloth covered and give you no problems when you stretch  [...]

For hard core audiophiles, wireless headsets are a strict no-no. They are willing to sacrifice wireless and go for wired headset. They say that wireless devices cannot deliver like wired ones. But this one may change their opinion. Nokia BH-905 is equipped with noise cancellation feature that keeps out most of the noise away when you are listening to music. Noise cancellation feature can be used in crowded streets or buses or even at home when people around are talking and you want to shut them off. The headset is capable of noise cancellation but doesn’t completely isolate you from the outside noise, but manages to keep most of it away from you so that nothing can come between you and your music. The cups of the ears also completely surround your ears and the feel of the cushions on the ears is quite good. Another important fact that is worth mentioning is the size of the headset. Would you carry this headset when you are going out? This is huge headset, if you are wearing  [...]

Most of the first generation Blu-Ray discs provide little more than the pin sharp HD, and here we have the Philips BDP3000 which is loaded with features which including even downloading of discs from BD live. Apart from the low price, sleek and gloss structure and the disc tray which is hidden below the hood this one has loads to offer in terms of high definition pictures. I agree that this one is a budget player, but that in anyway does not explain the cumbersome catering of the BD live service. It can easily stream content from live portals but again it does not have any onboard storage space to store the commentaries or the trailers. Given that fact that there is no onboard storage the importance of the USB 2.0 comes more into the picture. It can be easily fitted with a 2 GB memory stick and all the downloaded content can be easily stored into the stick. Surprisingly enough this one doesn’t have any facility using which the user can include widgets to access the brand’s  [...]

When handed over with the HP Officejet Pro 8500, my first reaction was ‘ well, that one looks pretty impressive’ and then looking at the price tag all I had to say was ‘ $280, now that’s asking for too much’ but sometime with it and trust me this one is worth all the moolah being paid for it. This one surely has some meaty aesthetics at 19.45 inches wide by 18.86 inches deep and 13.03 inches tall. This huge bulk can be hugely attributed to the features that it brings along with it which include an autoduplexer, 50-sheet automatic document feeder, and legal-size scanner bay. Coming to the looks of this one… it’s got a glossy black cockpit which blends in really well with the matte white and gray panels. Right in the centre is the 3.45 inch LCD toouchscreen display. Well many may argue that the ones by competitors like Brother have larger display but with this one HP proves that bigger isn’t always better. The display of this one though smaller is comparatively more  [...]

With all the blabbering about its looks over, I must add this one for sure is an invention that could send almost anyone drooling over the absolute spectacle the makers have come up with as far the engineering is concerned. I seriously don’t know from where to start with just because of the fact that almost everything has been so perfectly done that it is almost difficult to write an unbiased review. There is no sign of discontinuity between the bass, the mid band and treble. Almost each one starts off from where the last one left which is in itself quite commendable. the performance is absolutely a seamless which not many of Magico’s competitors can boast of. Amongst all the tweeters, the Relevator tweeter to be precise is quite different and a far superior one as compared to the earlier version  of the same model. Hmm.. coming back to the question framed earlier… is balance lean?? Well the answer is not exactly… just a little bit. But  [...]
