Another addition to the fleet of Hondas ~
Yet another Integra DC2 - this one equipped with the poor man's type R setup. B18c, S80 LSD gearbox, and my personal favorite colour of the lot. 
Of course JDM bugeye being here in NZ, not as common as the facelift variant.
 
Very fun

If you're happy with your current volume and sound quality, there's no need. 

LOL the FAQ is now spoilerception.  I'll start fixing it once the powers that be swear everything is fixed.

I had this in my infographic folder from a few years ago,
unsure if the pricing or anything is relevant anymore, but I used it as quick comparison guide back then 
 

It's going good Almost finished up with exams for this year, works going crazy, thinking about buying a new car!

I've had great experience with the DR-05 for recording, and it isn't too cumbersome recording to SD card. 
I purchased it late last year and still haven't had to replace the batteries in it. 
 
Mind you, the device is very sensitive, so it may pick up the majority of noises around you, but you can always edit in post.

If it's going to be used with a macbook (from inside the car, presumably) Why do you need it to be USB? I'm not trying to argue with you on why, I just want to know
 
Also, you might want to get a portable recorder, and record to an SD card, then transfer it to whatever you will be using to edit audio/video. 
 
Something like this: http://www.amazon.com/TASCAM-DR-05-Portable-Digital-Recorder/dp/B004OU2IQG/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1426060411&sr=8-2&keywords=handheld+recorder

Chinese OEMs have made good progress in the IEM sector, but I think they're too busy selling colorful cheap headphones to rebranders to make much progress there.

Added some carbon fibre wrap to the front of the HDD's for a more appealing look.

I decided to build a home file server after completing my first gaming/workstation PC build. I enjoyed the process of building a computer too much that I just needed another project. I got sick of storing my media collection on external HDD's trying to keep track of where everything was and trying to have everything backed up across multiple drives.
 
I have this file server set up using a RAID 5 configuration using 5x3TB drives which gives me a total of 12TB usable storage space (10.8TB's formatted). The purpose of this server is to back up all the PC's in the house, as well serve as a single location for all my media so I don't have to keep track of everything across multiple PC's and external HDD's.
 
Specs:
CPU - Intel Core i3 3225 3.3GHz
CPU cooler - Noctua NH-L9i
RAID controller - Adaptec 6805 8 port
HDD's - 5 x 3TB WD Red in RAID 5
Boot drive - Samsung 128GB 830 Series
Case - Bitfenix Prodigy with windowed side panel
PSU - Seasonic 400W 80+ Platinum series fanless
MOBO -  ASUS P8Z77-I Deluxe
RAM - 2x4GB G.SKILL 1600MHz CL8-8-8-24 1.5

Hey guys!
I was talking to a few forum members the other night and saying how I was going to purchase a few sets of headphones from Takstar - from what I can tell, they're an OEM from China, and the main reason why I purchased the 2050 in particular was because they looked similar to DT770s, but minus the $350 NZD price tag. So how do these stack up against other headphones for $60NZD? 
 

 
I'll get the specs out of the way first
 
Type: Wired, open design Transducer Principle: Dynamic Wearing Style: Head worn Frequency Response: 15Hz-25kHz Sensitivity: 92dB±3dB Driver Diameter: 53mm Max.Input Power: 500mW Rated Power: 250mW Impedance: 60ohm Connector: stereo 3.5mm + 6.3mm gold plated Cable:4mm x 2.2m + 1.8m extension cable Net Weight: 325g       They are only 65g heavier than the HD558s that I currently own, but I can feel their presence on my head a lot more, not sure if it's the clamping force that is affecting me, or the weight.   
I haven't had enough time to justify doing a sound review vs my HD558s or others, but at the moment, they are a very fun headphone. Not as comfortable as I'd like, as the clamping force is actually relatively strong. For EDM tracks this headphone has pretty good bass, but it seems a lot muddier compared to pricier headphones, which is expected. I find listening to tracks that have a lot of bass suits this headphone quite well, instead of listening to rock/metal. I haven't tested these headphones using my on board audio, or using my smartphone, I have been listening to it through a FiiO E17, but I will see what they're like using on board audio etc in the next week or so.
 

 

 

 
Frequency response for all you graph nerds out there
 

 
The overall build quality is pretty good, the headband is completely plastic, with a "pleather" cushioning. In my opinion, it's the only part of this headphone that looks cheap. The braided cable running from the drivers up into the band is a nice touch too, along with the thick cable that runs down to a 3.5mm male connector.
 
Correction about the headband:

For all of you guys that like watching stuff, here's my video detailing my unboxing and first thoughts on this pair of headphones. Thanks guys.
 

 
Overall, in my first couple of days of owning this, I'd recommend it for the price point, it's a very fun headphone when you're on a budget. I will report back later when I've used it for a little bit longer

Am I in a /g/ thread...
 
anyway,
 
9/10 above friend! Love your server ;)

Pretty average >.>

I would pay $300 max as they retailed for somewhere around $600-$800 nzd and they seem to be in good condition.

They're actually in my watch list already What are your thoughts on how much I should pay for them?
