Know me and know that almost everything in life poses an opportunity for an Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy quote. For the world’s largest lamp, the Bart Lens’ XXXLamp, the most appropriate quote would be from Steve Carell’s character, Brick Tamland:

Part two of my round-up review features what I deem to be among the best IEMs at under $200. Before the list starts, I have to caution consumers about the potential dangers of IEMs. Be extremely careful when crossing the street while wearing these, and never under any circumstance should you use an IEM on a bike, driving a car, near dangerous machinery, or on a hazardous work-site like a construction area.

So most of you probably own at least one iPod, Zune, or other MP3/PMP player. These devices usually cost several hundred dollars and apparently based on the iPod’s monumental success, millions of people are happy to pay for them. When it comes to the most crucial part of the sound reproduction chain, the earbuds, few people actually invest in a good pair. Aside from sound quality benefits, I contend that there is also an invaluable reason for buying some good in-ear-monitors: they can save your hearing. More »

Research reveals that in some cases, people are cranking their music up to 120db, which is akin to hearing an airplane take off! More »

It literally talks and understands voice commands! Granted, with Cuisy, I have to push buttons here and there, but if I don’t have to go through that extra effort…I’m feeling a little tempted to cheat. More »
