I wish there was a like button on these comments.

Obviously. Since we use a solar eclipse filter to view the eclipse not to damage our retinas, I tried to look for something similar for my setup, but the advise I found was..... inconclusive to say the least.

Question, for MILCs, are filters necessary to take pictures? (trying to figure out if such are necessary in the future, I won't see this particular eclipse here in the states).

Hey, you take that back! You tape up those little holes at the bottom of the stems and they sound heckuva better than 99% of most headphones!

Studios are good, but not at the full price they're asking for. If you're going with Monster headphones, the Turbine Range of earbuds/IEMS are fanfreakingtastic. (not at full price, but their refurbs and dinged package specials from their outlets)

I'd rather solder in my own Red Wire and roll it out for $50 or whatever they go these days.

Hmmm... Not SURE IF SRS. NOT ENOUGH CAPS!!1

Megaconz.... Sure....

Shures and not nominated but mentioned Triple.Fis have detachable cables. And both Shure and Logitech/UE sells mobile cables with inline mic and controls.

Go with MDR-E888s then, they're still the damn best earbuds evar created.

I smell a KIRF. A delicious KIRF.

Is a Raspberry Pi enough to power all the 8 and 16-bit consoles (with sound and what not) plus Neo Geo, CPS2 and other arcade systems? If so, the Pi is my next big toy.

Cheap Red Wines do well with decanting. Though I knew one person who liked her wine straight out from the bottle (in a glass, but still, no decanting).

Ever try Hyperdecanting your Two Buck Chuck? By hyperdecanting, I mean blending and frapping the hell out of your reds until its calling for its mama?

HA! We pay $1.30 less here in CA! Two Buck Chuck FTW!

Yep. I will be allergic to Blackberries. I can no longer wear any sort of metal eyeglasses for extended period of time as I will break out.

And they (minus the mic) are being sold under the Sharper Image Brand for about $8 at Office Depot. Not sure if they sound the same, but they as sure look the same.

Those earbuds are generally associated with the Creative Brand, but that same formfactor also shows up as Sennheiser CX series (lower end). They maybe the same (spec wise) with bit of tuning in the looks department.

Oops, I forget the ever important tastic in there. What are you the adjective socialist?
