The Ultimate Medival Wastebasket

Topic:

Trashcans are usually boring devices that don’t add interest or style to the room they are in. If you want something a bit more interesting than a plastic can to throw your old coke cans and Doritos bags into this is the trash can for you.

This thing reminds me of "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" for some reason, too bad when you open the lid it doesn’t say “What are your going to do, bleed on me” or some such nonsense from the flick. Read more

Ultimate Ears Super.fi 5 Pro Review

Topic:

Digital Trends reviews the Ultimate Ears Super.fi 5 Pro headphones.

Quote from the review:
"Nearly every aspect of the listening experience exceeded our expectations. Highs, mids, and lows are balanced and clear. Bass is tight, but still has boom without sounding muddy, and highs are bright, but not screeching. Overall, the general tone of the Super.fi 5 Pros was energetic and accurate.
The sound stage was satisfactorily wide and distant, without showing separation or the feeling of far-off sounds. The sound wasn’t harsh or warm, but somewhere in between. Spatial cues were somewhat limited, since canalphones in general lack the ability to convey 3D virtualization accurately. "
