Damn, it's bothersome when the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak :annoyed:. Given your passion for trying IEMs (and then writing about them), I hope this was just a one-off incident. Given any considertions to move to Headphones :angel: ?

Your post reads like a news article. If you are quoting from a website or paper, please state your original source, otherwise this would be plain plagarism.

Which one to take would depend on your interest. IMO, colleges (basically professors) are only a tool. If you aren't passionate about something, you aren't going to learn much regardless of whether it is the best institute in the country. The only practical difference is that a reputed college...

^+1 If you're joining a large services company, the company decides what your technical skillset will be: SAP, Java, .NET, Oracle, Siebel, etc. So your certification doesn't come into the picture for them. These certifications won't matter even in the scenario that you have experience, but no...

:O Gawd, the EP630 have a bloated overpowering bass signature. If the EHS44 are like the EP630, and you find them lacking, I wonder what IEMs will satisfy your bass hunger . (NE-7M :yes: ??)

Tinnitus attack? Or just a deliberate 'holiday' ?

I have a 2.5 year old Acer laptop, and I've never seen the charger cut off by itself. But if your charger has an auto cutoff, I'd be interested in knowing the brand of your charger. Is it a 3rd party charger, or the default OEM ? Now, usually chargers keep a trickle current going into the...

I'm not sure whether this would also give you safety from a battery meltdown. My guess is that the heat sensors being used would be CPU, chipset Northbridge/Southbridge, and possibly GPU. I would think it unlikely that the battery is being monitored for heat. With my Acer laptop, even in...

:facepalm: Face-palm. I didn't think about the heat factor at all; I was thinking solely from perspective of battery chemistry. But again, you'd hardly hear about such incidents in the old days where Ni-Cd used to be the common battery chemistry. Ni-Cd had issues with 'memory charge', but...

I've read many reports of laptop batteries exploding, but I would usually think "It wouldn't happen to me". On at least one ocassion, I have myself been guilty of leaving the laptop for charging while going out. However an incident just happened yesterday that should make me far more cautious in...

Just wanted to point out that technically 'WAV' too is a container, albeit only for audio data. WAV can hold many different formats, though practically PCM data is the most popular format used with WAV. I have seen Microsoft using WAV to hold MP3 data for some Vista soundschemes. WAV -...

Its a weird proprietary cable that APC uses, atleast with my APC RS-1000 UPS. It has a RJ-45 like connector (similar to phone/LAN) at the UPS side, and standard USB at the PC side.

Well, they did release MP3pro, but it never became popular. mp3PRO - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia I think in a short duration after MP3pro was released, MPEG-LA came up with AAC which eclipsed MP3pro.

I have a Sansa Fuze (It's EOL'ed now in favour of Fuze+) running RockBox. As you've mentioned, RockBox has support for practically every format (Vorbis, FLAC, AAC). I just had a look the official Fuze manual, and noticed that it doesn't mention FLAC anywhere. But I had installed the last Sansa...

Once a standard is 'set', it doesn't need to changed, except maybe for bugfixes. Ogg & FLAC are de-facto standards that have been 'frozen' for quite some time now. Similarly, MP3 hasn't seen any changes since the format was standarized. Just because a format has been frozen, it doesn't...

The superiority of AAC over MP3 is clear at lower bitrates(<128 kbps). But move to decent bitrates for audio (>256 kbps), and the superiority isn't so clear anymore. My take: At higher bitrates, its better to go for the format which has the most compatibility across devices. MP3 is a clear...

Is the pricing mentioned correct (<20k)? Its at ~34k on dealer section http://www.techenclave.com/techxtreme/his-graphic-cards-131412/

After trying to block 'offensive' posts on the social networks (Facebook, Twitter, etc), the govt. now wants to control the whole internet. I hope dearly that ICANN simply refuses to pass control. The current situation with ICANN is not ideal, where the body is based & controlled by USA. But...

As Calvin pointed out, an AVR makes sense with a HT setup. They are usually not considered a great match for 2.0 speakers. BTW, you can get a HT setup within 40k; have a look at HT section on HFV.

The iPhone's plug's pins are configured a bit differently. So out of the box, even audio will not work on normal plugs if the IEM is iPhone compatible. However I believe the MP21 also ships with a splitter cable, which can be used to connect to normal plugs. The thing I'm not sure is if both mic...
