Trip down Market St 1905

By Boback | Published: December 12, 2009

Make it loud

By Boback | Published: November 4, 2008
I’ve been looking for a really good pair of headphones for a while now. I used to have a pair of Sony ones that generated an amazing treble and pretty rocking bass. The mid-range wasn’t amazing, but didn’t let the headphones down. A friend at work let me listen to his 3 year old Sennheiser [...]
