Sleek Audio SA1 Customisable Single Driver Earphones

Posted: 18 Feb 2010 04:30 PM PST

If you need more confirmation that things are getting better at the budget end of the headset market, here it is. Back in September 2008, we looked at early IEM’s Sleek, clever, SA6 customizable. Audiophile-grade, single driver earphones, their modular design, allowed them to be dismantled and refurbished with a selection of tips treble and bass ports, allowing you to tinker and tweak them up ‘what you have achieved the perfect sound for each ear.

Sleek Audio SA1 Customisable Earphones

Our own Edward Chester had his reservations about the overall sound quality and price point, but he liked the sound, Sleek and have since won a substantial audience among fans of helmet in the world. Moreover, when a partnership with the wireless adapter Sleek W1, the SA6 is without doubt the best product for wireless headphones we’ve seen yet.

Now, however, Sleek has thrown us a bit of a curve ball. SA1 is the new entrance to the business model level, designed to bring some of the audio quality of the SA6 and customizable to a wider audience. In addition, PS1 is compatible with the adapter W1, making the wireless setup that Sleek little more affordable. Surprised? The price point. These look and feel like the earphones quite expensive, but Sleek has made an aggressive £ 70, putting SA1s the same kind of space as S4S Klipsch Image, HF5s Etymotic and Shure SE115 (or even undercutting a tenner Vital).

Let’s make it clear: these do not look or feel like headphones budget. There are give-aways – the cable feels a little thin and plasticky, and the case has surprised zip drive is not particularly luxurious – but the share SA1s most people think with their brothers and sisters more. As noted earlier, one thing we liked about them was SA6s modular design. Rather than being wired, the cable plugged into the headphones, which means a disastrous Yank does not necessarily mean a break, and if something does not damage the cable, you can always replace it. The SA1s have exactly the same thing, which means you can modify or replace the cables if you need (and are promising Sleek color cable later this year). [via trustedreviews]

HTC Desire ROM Nexus One Android Phone

Posted: 18 Feb 2010 05:30 AM PST

The desire HTC has exactly the same material as the Google [GOOG] Nexus A phone if the concern Sense works on top of Android to give an excellent user interface.

HTC Desire ROM Nexus One

As with all things HTC, it was not long before someone got to work on porting the ROM to go elsewhere. One user managed to get the ROM Desire to work on the interfaces between One. A problem for now is that the ROM is not quite for some reason, probably due to Google changing the code slightly and Nexus One may not start after starting completely blank, but with some reorganization and move some applications off the system partition, the code can now run. The list of what works is included on Modaco.

Some features that work include the trackball, hardware keys under the screen, proximity sensor, light sensor, a compass and G sensor. The list seems to get more work as more functions, so check the thread linked above follow me. It should not be too long before instructions are provided to get the ROM of your Nexus One Desire.

Seagate Barracuda XT 2TB 64 MB SATA HDD

Posted: 18 Feb 2010 02:30 AM PST

With the DSS to get all the limelight, it’s been a while since we’ve sought to move the old hard drives parties. But with the 3.5-inch drives offer capacities of at least 20 times higher than their state counterparts in similarly-priced solid, they are far from dead. Given the larger SSD that even remotely affordable is 256 GB, those with lots of data will always want a magnetic disk drive, currently offering as much as 2 TB (2,000 GB).

Seagate Barracuda XT 2TB SATA 6Gb-s HDD

The first of these markets has been at Western Digital Caviar Green 2TB, which has received our Recommended Award. More than a year, we now seek to Seagate Barracuda 2TB XT, the first SATA hard drive to claim 6GB / s compatibility with the company labeled “world’s fastest desktop hard drive.” Can you live without to doubt this claim?

Unlike the Green WD then, which focused on energy savings and quiet, reliable operation at the expense of performance, four Seagate monster tray will speed on everything. To facilitate this, the Barracuda XT has a huge 64 MB cache, which facilitates high performance burst and wipe the floor with most competitors offer only half. On the other hand its areal density of 368Gbits per square inch is not quite to thank you 400Gbits Green WD’s perpendicular magnetic recording of the latter (PMR) technology.

However, it uses the fastest interface available: SATA 6GBit / s. This requires a compatible motherboard like Asus P7P55D-E Premium, if the older SATA II cables can be used as long as they are less than one meter (most are). Unfortunately, in our preliminary tests for P7P55D-E, we found that there is very little difference between SATA 6 Gb / s and the previous level, but now you can see all the nitty gritty little details for you Similarly, and as we are likely to be unpleasantly surprised.
