Headphones- For Your Ears Only

I read an article to do with earphones which let you adjust the acoustics and sounds of the music to suit your own ear. Everybody is unique. We have our own faces, mannerisms and personality. Similarly we all have unique and different ear canals. We all hear things differently; some people can hear high pitched noises while others can’t, some people could be used to loud music while others can hardly stand it. Also as we get older our hearing diminishes significantly. This is why these ear phones could be very useful. The person complaining that some sort of music is to loud might actually be able to enjoy and appreciate the music for once.

The sleek-audio custom earphones, according to their website allow the user to find their own “audio fingerprint”. It took over three years to make these earphones and they offer great sound quality, comfort and flexibility. They also block out 35% more outside noise than other headphones. If you want more bass simply add the bass modules to the back of the earphones; more noticeable vocals? Just adjust the treble filter on the earpiece for higher frequencies. However the mid range is where they really shine. They balance both the bass and treble perfectly. They are custom in other ways too including the colour of your earphones and the graphics.

Another good feature of these earphones is the durability of them. The shell will hold up well against the usual trials headphones are put through. All the joints and bits and pieces which hold it together are sturdy and almost invisible. However at the end of the day they are headphones and the cable is thin with limited protection.

One flaw would be the price. They can cost from 250 euro up. It’s a bit of a difference from the ones in Tesco.

So they are the main features of the sleek-audio custom earphones. It is quite a good idea to invent earphones which let the user decide what type of sound they want. This makes them very appealing and it helps that the sound produced, whatever your specifications, will be a full, clean sound of great quality and reliability.

I hope that this was of some help or of some interest at least.

Buying A PC

When buying a PC or any type of computer there are many factors which must be considered. The reason you are getting a PC should be your top priority. There is no reason of getting a PC with specifications which don’t match your needs! Hard-drive, memory, processors, CD drives, sound cards, video cards, upgrade ability, wireless connection and warranty are the main features which you should look for when purchasing a PC.

If, for instance, you are a college student with assignments and exams galore, memory space would be a big consideration, as it would be for any purchaser. The more memory, the smoother your computer will run. 2048MB to 4096MB would be very useful. The size of a hard-drive is also a significant aspect of a computer. The largest hard-drive should be bought as with all the lectures’ notes and your own work it is more than likely it would run out of space over a three or four year period if a smaller hard-drive had been the preferred choice. Better to get a big one first off than having to put in another one or replace it completely. 250GB should do a good bit. A wireless connection is also a very useful feature to have. You may have many books and a whole library at your disposal but the convenience of the internet is hard to beat. The speed at which you could look up a topic such as psychology lets say and find sources and material is hard to believe.

Other features which could be of use are the CD drives. You should ask yourself whether it has a DVD/CD-R/CD-RW drives. As a college student it wouldn’t be too bad to relax every now and again with a video game. Yet without a proper video card you might not be even able to play a game on your PC. This is why a video card would be essential to those gamers. The ordinary sound cards within a computer would do most but a better one could be beneficial in enhancing the quality of the sound.

Lastly it would be a good decision to check the warranty of the computer. A one-year warranty at least would be advised as if anything goes wrong with a computer with a 90 day or a few month warranty you would be responsible for the costs of fixing the part which is broken and the service.

I hope that this has been of some help to those who aren’t to knowledgeable on the subject of computers.
