I suggest Etymotic ER-6i. These are "canal phones", which go in your ears like earplugs. They are at least as noise isolating as the Boss anti-sounds phones, and I think they sound…

I heard that Koss headphones are pretty decent quality too.

Koss headphones... good choice... I went to my local Boarders Book Store near my college and found this nice Koss head set. If you've ever used ear plugs when around loud equipmen…

You can have some nice recommendations here. But warned: your wallet may not survive!

Another Shure e3c owner here. Awesome sound quality. Took me about a week before I finally found the right fit and how to place them properly in my ears. They are monitors, so the …

Another e2c owner here... I love these headphones! They aren't the cheapest, they aren't the most expensive, but man do they sound good for in ear phones. Proper fit is the key, ma…

As requested in another thread, here are some comparison pictures between a 1ghz 15.1" PowerBook G4, a 1.8ghz CoreDuo 15.4" MacBook Pro, and a 1.8ghz CoreDuo 14.1" Thinkpad T60. C…

Why is the brightness of the MacBook doesn't seem as bright as the powerbook? It supposed to be a lot brighter than the PowerBook. Otherwise, great comparason.

My MBP screen is definitely brighter than a revB PB12 and my revA PB17 screens. Indeed, it's comparable -- when looking straight on -- to the brightness of my Dell 24" at work. If…

sadly, I think Apple's priorities are not the kind of rugged durability that has been typical for thinkpads for years. How could Apple go back to plastic after using metal for so l…

Wow. The new charger is... huge...
