    4. Now it's time to choose a wiring order. There are a few different standards used today that go by the name T568A and T568B. Officially, T568A is the legal standard in America and Europe, but T568B is still widely used due to tradition. I will be using T568B, you can use whichever you like. The wiring must be the same on each end so remember which you use for future reference.

    There are eight wires in the cable:
    -White and green (WG)
    -Green (G)
    -White and orange (WO)
    -Orange (O)
    -White and blue (WBl)
    -Blue (Bl)
    -White and brown (WBr)
    -Brown (Br)





    5. After you've got the wires in the correct order, snip the excess and only leave about ½" left. Part of the cable sleeving will go into the connector so you don't have to worry about it being too short. Having the cable sleeving go into the connector will ensure that the wires won't be exposed and go bad for whatever reason.

    6. Slide the wires into the connector with the tab facing the ground. You should be able to see the wires slide into their slot and check if they're in the correct one.



    7. Crimp the connector and repeat the process once more on the other end of the cable. You're finished! To test the cable either use a network cable tester or connect an internet device to it.

    I can't say that the Sony camera is better but since you like having a good camera why don't you look for those Sony smart lens. http://www.theverge.com/2013/9/4/4681972/sony-qx100-qx10-smart-lens-release-date-price-features/in/4449113
    The sensor looks so much bigger than on the Lumia 1020 and on the Z1. All I know is that ti size of the sensor matters in photography, nothing more.

    Well to be honest I think Sony makes the best looking products by far. Nice sharp edges very sharp corners look great. Apple has no chance against Sony in terms of sheer looks. But thats my opinion. Actually I might end up buying my first smartphone from Sony.

    Hello and welcome to my review of the Pioneer SE-CL721 in-ear headphones.
     
    Quite a while ago I bought a pair of these headphones for daily use; bicycle, sports, ect.. and I thought by myself; why not make a review? So here u have it folks.
    (excuse my English)
     
     
    Packaging and first impressions
     

     
     
     
    The in-ears come in 3 different color combinations; red-white, red-black and red-green. (I own the black one)
    Having the package in my hands it was looking very tight. I was hoping the wires were okay inside there.
    After quite some time of picking and using the jig saw I managed to open the (damn) package. The package comes with 4 different rubber sizes for your ears, and a manual.
     
     
    Display
     
    Knowing myself, I'm not really a huge audio freak like some of u out there, but the sound that comes out of these things is quite impressive for their price. (Of course you will need a good audio output as well.)
    There is a clear balance between high and low and manages to give u a full listening experience. It manages to work absolutely fine with drum and bass all the way to classical music. (Rock in my case)
    Turning the volume up a bit makes the listening experience even better, making the balance even stronger between high and low.
     
     
    Shape
     
    Fits great in the ear, no annoyances so far. Of course you can improve it by adjusting the rubber size as well if needed.
    A little downside tho, is the weight of these ears. This is very personal, as I have different ears than other people. I notice it when jogging or moving your head around, this makes them slip a little out of my ears.
    You can definitely feel them when you are wearing them.
     
    Having this issue I swapped the rubber tips with my old Sennheiser CX 250, which really improved the listening experience for me.
    The top end of the ears are quite small, which allows u to put on any type of rubber tip on it.
     
    The length from bifurcation to in-ear is quite long by itself, and can be adjusted by a slider. Normally left and right side are equal with wire length.
    Having a closer look at it I can tell that these in-ears are very well-made and strong. The rubber wiring is quite thick and doesn't tangle very easily, which is quite handy when storing it somewhere.

     
    (Sorry for the crappy self-made photo)
     
     
    experience
     
    This headphone that I own is nearly 3 years old, and I can report that it is still working fantastic. It went trough rain, water and fell down once or twice. (It even went for a ride in the washer)
    Usually you will have to put these headphones on for almost 2 days to play them in good shape. It didn't take too long with these headphones to "change" their sound, it was pretty much plug and play.
     
     

     
     
    Conclusion
     
    Excellent headphones for their price, I totally recommend this one for people with a specific budget.

    Nothing too fancy, but I used to slam my keyboard quite frequently.. Which doesn't make sense because the PC is actually causing the problem. Due to those keyboard slams my LED power indicator of my monitor went nuts due to it's bouncing on my desk.
