Re: New Headphones ~100$

Still, you dismiss "gamer premium" headphones as if all of them are crap, which they aren't. Sure, there's a lot of stuff out there that it a lot more marketing and hot air than actual product, but there are also a few headphones that are a lot better than the badge would have you think! ...

Re: New Headphones ~100$

Shipping to Israel. I pay for shipping inside USA + shipping from USA to Israel.. Surely there are electronics shops worth a damn in Israel? If you're looking for high end headphones (non "gamer premium") there are 2 dedicated Audio shops. All the other (Computer, Electronics and so on) s...

Re: New Headphones ~100$

Tharbad, If you can't hear a difference between the different models of headphones, save your money. Travbad is right, you are the listener. Buy what sounds good to you. But before you do, I also recommend you listen a little more carefully. Do you have a laptop? Or something you can listen to audi...

Re: New Headphones ~100$

Today i was at a local store. I tried Sennheiser HD215(129$), HD202(53$- on sale), HD449(177$) and HD518(186$). They all sound more or less the same for me (except the 558 - they're open while all the other are closed). Therefore I think it not a good idea to buy a high end headphone if I don't noti...

Re: New Headphones ~100$

Why people drop $100+ on headphones which consist of some magnets, wire, and some plastic is beyond me. These same people will shop around to save $5 on the $50 device playing the music using compressed audio streams or compressed files as the source, or playback on a smart phone. To me I see headp...

There're 2 switches connected to that router - one for each area in the house. Although the router is wireless, I cant use it as such as it's located in a bedroom. Ther...

OK.
About the VRM: I understand that a high number of phases will give me a longer MB life. 4+1 is OK for 4-5 years?

Why not try using a mailing services? The shipping to them here in say the USA would be free and then they would charge you whatever the international charge to ship is.

Try to go for an non-K series Intel part if you're going to do a lot of virtualization. The K-series parts have some virtualization technologies disabled, which hampers them when compared to the non-K parts. source about disabled techonlogies: http://ark.intel.com/products/65523/Intel-Core-i7-3770K...
