New Toy Broken Toy
Well I just got some new skull candy earbuds for myself as I’m looking for a more discreet solution to my music on the go. All I can say is wow, these cheap $21 earbuds produce quite good sound with remarkable bass reproduction at that price range. I haven’t had cheap ear buds this good since my phillips simulated surround sound ones. I got ones that were a dark blue with a splash of purple.
Despite having these great headphones I still have a problem in the sound department. Specifically my half decent 7.1 96KHz 24bit soundblaster card died. So on my computer I’m using my crappy motherboard integrated sound which has static on any set of somewhat sensitive headphones. So next project is to go buy a new sound card, which is pretty cool since I’ve been hoping for something that has a better surround sound setup. The last one worked but it wanted everything routed through the subwoofer. Which was a problem since I have lots of speakers but no subwoofers. So after I get about $70 budgeted I’ll see about getting a new sound card with a cheap subwoofer/speakers combo. I don’t need one that’s super impressive, just enough to make movies and music more fun.
