I received the Ultimate Ears Super.fi 5EB and I really like this pair of earphones. I think they are one of the best earphones I ever experienced. The sound quality is fantastic and with the extended base (EB), it was perfect to suit rich bass type of music that I listen to. I like the design of the earphones and how it fitted to my ears.

OK. I may be bias on this particular brand but I am not too sure is there other brands out there at a lower price but with the same quality. To think about it, you only buy something by word of mouth. When a friend of yours and his friend says they are good, and you tested on it and you think the same, it just gives us a green light to own it. I was looking for a good earphones to compliment my iPod mini and I am glad to know of Ultimate Ears at the right time.

I visited Amazon.com and see if I could grab some discount for this piece of earphones. The retail price was $199,99 but the discount price was $149 (26% discount) and I think is really a good buy.

I happened to bump into a friend who owned a pair of Ultimate Ears Superfi 5EB earphones. Out of curiosity I tested his earphones. I carried my iPod wherever I go and I played one of my favourite by Madonna - Music. I was overwhelmed and impressed by this peace of little monster. The bass was superb and the treble feels well balance. I am someone who enjoys fast beat music such as pop, electronica, dance and I added trance into my collections recently.

To be truth, I have never across this brandname Ultimate Ears accept for Sure, Bose and Bang & Olufsen. I tested the Bang & Olufsen A8 Earphones, it was good with clear sound but it I did not feel like owning it even though it was well design. I have never tested a Sure or Bose earphones.

At www.ultimateears.com you will be able to find out earphones for different purpose. And superfi 5EB states that it was designed with extended bass feature and they are suitable for Hip Hop, Rap, Metal, Techno and other bass rich music.

I added this earphones into my wanted list after reading the reviews and tested it personally.

I really like this pair of red JBL creature speakers. The dome shape design is really unique and I think the designers deserve 4.5 out of 5 for this product. The speakers are not just strictly connected to iPod, with the stereo jack you can almost connect to any variety of music devices. With the price tag of $90, we are not just getting a rather good 2.1 way multimedia sound system, we are getting one of the best design multimedia speakers.

To buy or not to buy a brand new iPod Nano? The first thought that comes to me when it comes to refurbished goods would be battery issue. Probably someone had wanted to repair their Nano due to battery failure or it could be an electronic problem that causes the failure. In whichever case do I really trust reconditioned product?

Personally I have never thought of buying refurbished electronic product. The purpose of the iPod Nano is to replace the first generation shuffle.

Did some quick research and comparison between the new and reconditioned iPod Nano. The specifications do not really show any difference accept for the prices.

Both products were given one year warranty from Apple. Visit apple.com or amazon.com, and check out their prices.

That’s about 38% savings.

I think is worth the try if you are a sourcing for an entry level mp3 player or looking for an upgrade to a higher capacity player. By the way this Nano belongs to my wife. I am eyeing on the U2 iPod 80 Gig.

Here’s the box.

Here’s the package inside the box.

My fourth generation Ipod or the Ipod mini have been giving some frozen or hang issues lately. I could have accidentally drop it hard on the floor before. When it first occur, I waited for the Ipod battery to drain off. Using the search engine, I found out another easier method.

By pressing the Ipod centre and menu button, you will be able to do a hard reset. Battery draining off should be the last resort if hard reset do not work.
