Shure SE215 review

2012-01-16T08:58:00.000-08:00

Like millions of other people in this world I sit at a computer for a living, 5 days a week, all year long. Being tethered to a desk can definitely get repetitive so having a decent set of headphones is a necessity. In the past, I have had the opinion that a decent set of headphones can usually be purchased for $50, this is generally not true. I am not a Dj or a pro audio person but I do appreciate quality sound. That being said I ditched my old Sennheiser earbuds this weekend and picked up a set of Shure SE215 buds. I know I am not the first person to review these earbuds as they have been out for quite awhile, but I thought I would give everyone my opinion on them.

I will start with a few basic specs on them, they feature a Dynamic MicroDriver, detachable cable, several sound isolating sleeve options which will block up to 37db of noise, and are available in black or clear. I wont bore you with all the technical information, if you are interested in that, hit the link above and you can check up on it.

The sound produced by these little buds is great. they have nice clear highs and mids and the bass is deep. The bass is really impressive for them being so small. The one thing i will say is, you need to have a tight fit in the ear canal for the bass to be heard. If there are any gaps in the fit, you will not get the deep bass they are capable of. I can also say there is little or no cable noise. That brings me to fit and comfort. The fit on these buds definitely takes some getting use to. The SE215's are set up to have the cable go behind the ear. I actually had to go online and find a picture of someone wearing them to figure out how the placement was supposed to look. If you purchase them, this will definitely take some getting use to. I will say once you figure out the fit, they are very secure. I have not tried working out with them yet but i believe they will stay firmly in place.

The Shure SE215's are a nice earbud for the money (under $100). They have great sound, but take a little getting use to in terms of fit. I would definitely recommend them if you are someone who takes your sound quality seriously but doesn't want to break the bank to have that quality. Thanks for reading.

Byzero Studio Digital Pen

2012-01-13T08:37:00.000-08:00

I recently have become very interested in all the stylus options popping up for the touch screen devices we all love. I really believe that at some point in the future this will be how all artists will sketch and how all business people take meeting notes. With that said I want to keep sharing the styluses i find in my internet browsing with everyone. The latest one I have come across is the Byzero Studio Digital Pen, is currently only working with the Byzero apps but has some great features like palm rejection technology and real paper feel styluses. Personally I am really hoping Wacom comes out with something similar in the future but universally compatible with all apps.

IWC Schaffhausen Pilot's Watch

2012-01-12T06:29:00.000-08:00

IWC Schaffhausen brings you the Pilot's Watch. The last thing I probably need is a new watch, but this one might just have to make it into my collection. IWC has taken a note from the 1940's when the watches used by pilots were of the highest possible precision and the most important things on the face were the seconds and minutes. The case is made of ceramic and zirconium oxide and the face is a matte anthracite. There was quite a bit of thought put into this watch, hit the link above for all the information.

2012-01-11T06:19:00.000-08:00

The SMN Armenia Papers are a cool old way to make your space smell good. The papers date back to the 16th century and smell of frankincense and myrrh. Simply fold one of the pieces of paper into an accordion shape and light an end, when you blow out the flame the paper will slowly burn like a standard incense stick. They can also be used without burning and kept in drawers or wherever you like.

Human Time Project - HTP1 review

2012-01-10T07:41:00.000-08:00

After a few months of eager anticipation, I received my watch from The Human Time Project. My HTP1 arrived just before Christmas so I haven't had a chance to write up a proper review until now. I will refer to The Human Time Project from this point forward as HTP as shown on the watch face. I want to first talk about the customer service over at HTP. I emailed them quite a few times inquiring about the status of my purchase (yes, i am that annoying customer). My emails were always responded to within 24 hours and were always met with a friendly courteous response and update. I don't know for sure, but I believe I was one of the first people to order one of the HTP1 watches. Being one of the first, and very patient customers, I was afforded the option to receive the HTP-Black Hawk version. This was a very pleasant surprise as I really like the look of this special edition. For those of you who haven't seen it, it has black tipped hands rather than the standard white. My original order was for the orange band and the guys also included an extra black strap for their holiday special.

I'll start by saying the feel of this watch is great. This is my first large face watch, it is 46mm across and 50mm if you include the bezel. At first I was a bit intimidated by its size but after wearing it around some, I have gotten use to it. The weight on the wrist is really perfect, it is not so heavy that it causes fatigue and not so light that you forget its there. The Quartz movement has been keeping perfect time and date thus far. I am a watch collector and have watches from other larger companies where the second hand does not fall on the second hand lines on the face. The HTP does not have this problem, really flawless movement. I have several watches with nato straps, and the ones that came with the HTP1 are nice and beefy and feel like they will last a good while without needing replacement. Overall the HTP1 is great looking, the face is understated, simple and easy to read.

Being the opinionated person that I am, there are always things I would change on any product. The one feature I do wish the HTP1 came with is some sort of illumination for reading it at night or in low light situations. I also would love to see some leather band options for the HTP1 as I think a leather strap with contrast stitching would be a nice option for dressing it up a little. Maybe this will be an accessory add-on in the future.

Overall, I highly recommend HTP, the price is great for a great watch, the customer service was outstanding and the cause makes spending money in a tough economy all the more worth it.

2012-01-10T06:37:00.000-08:00

I really love Microplane and their products, in my opinion they make great stuff. It looks like the Easy Prep Meat Tenderizer will be no exception. It uses aggressive etched blades to break down and soften the any cut of meat you can throw at it, and the cover fits in the handle when in use.

Espresso Makers

2011-12-21T06:49:00.000-08:00

I have been looking for a new coffee/espresso press for a couple of months now as I have been wanting to get into drinking coffee, and wanted to try my hand at making coffee infused bourbon. There are so many people in the world that love the stuff (coffee not bourbon) I figure I must be missing something good. In my scouring of the net this morning for cool stuff to show my two followers here, i found the two coffee/espresso presses below. Both look to be fairly adequate at making coffee but have a unique look or method of delivery, that is why they made it on this blog, enjoy the links!

AeroPress Coffee and Espresso Maker

The Aeropress Coffee and Espresso Maker is a unique coffee/espresso maker that uses total immersion and gentle pressure to produce coffee with extraordinarily rich flavor. Because of the lower temperature required to brew and short brew time, the acid level of the brew is much lower than conventional brewers. As a bonus is ships in Certified Frustration-Free Packaging.

Espro Single Serve 8 oz. Press

The Espro Single Serve 8 oz. Press takes french presses to another level with its precision in coffee brewing. This press will preserve all of the freshly brewed flavors and aromas by micro-filtering twice with a unique metal filter.
