Ultrasone Edition 9s headphones will set you back $1,500 (Engadget)

Mar 11th 2008 7:17PM Ouch.. they are expensive. I'm happy with my Sennheiser HD650's, which set me back about £200 ($400) three months ago - got them from http://www.hifiheadphones.co.uk

The HD650's sound so smooth and clear. I can hear all kinds of details in my music that wasn't discernible before. I love 'em!

Sennheiser debuts PXC 450 high-end noise cancelling headphones (Engadget)

Jan 30th 2008 10:01AM I have to fly a lot as I have to travel around Europe for my job. I’ve found that some of the cheaper noise cancelling headphones don’t do a particularly great job of keeping outside sounds out.

The type with full size earcups are best as they isolate you from the noise physically, as well as via active electronics.

I've stuck with a pair of Sennheiser PXC350 noise cancelling headphones I’ve been had for a few months now. They are extremley comfortable and surprisingly lightweight.

Upgrade or repair your Sky Plus box (PVR Wire)

Apr 15th 2006 12:57PM According to what I've read on the forums some normal PC hard disk drives don't work in Sky+ boxes. I read of problems with spin up times and read times which could cause problems.

After lots of searching I went for a Sky+ hard disk upgrade kit from XtendedPlay:

They supply Consumer Electronics (CE) drives that are designed specially to work in PVRs.
