How cheap is cheap? I suggest the Etymotic ER-6i but they are a bit pricey. You can find them on sale, I got mine marked down to 83 dollars from the usual 150 but from what I hear, they are sooo very worth it (mine aren't here yet, heh)

I'm not sure about those choices but I do know if u save up and get the ER-6i's, its worth the wait...

I've got the white 71's and they sound awesome. :woot:

Please note that the 71's have a short cord, designed to plug into a remote, (along with an extension cord), but the 51's should have a regular length cord. Check out the customer photos.

Incorrect. They have a short cord because they plug into an extension cord that comes with it that you can roll up and keep rolled up easily with a piece of the case. I own them, and they are quite nice. Or rather, they were quite nice until they stopped working, which is why I got these. I was just tired of cheaper headphones ceasing to work on me all the time. I treat my stuff with great care, too. But if you can't afford something expensive that comes with a good warranty, then I'd get those Sony's. The bass is their strong point, but the mids and trebles are just OK. (I still use the Sony extension cable to hook up the Super-fi 3's to my keyboard, and they work quite nice!)

I'd recommend a pair of Sharp MD33S's (or the Creative EP630's which are the same) and imo they sound much better than the EX51's my friend had. However you might find them difficult to find as they are only available in the Asian market, so you'll probably have to buy online. The price ranges but you'll likely find them for under $40.

I also have a pair of EX71's and they're some of the best I've ever had for their price range. Very comfortable and they're the longest-lasting pair at nine months and still going strong. I'd recommend them without hesitation, but get the black ones. These white ones have started to turn grey :0

Griffin have just released their EarThumps, which look a bit sleeker and cost less. But I think I'm going to stick with these current ones for a little longer.

      The memory and nvme can be swapped and upgraded with standard parts. But the GPU cannot, which is the weakest part of the box. It's a dead product at these prices.

      Sounds like the debloated build you are running is missing some components that the Photos app and Snipping Tool rely on.

    • Apple and Tesla trade secrets reportedly exposed following a Tata Electronics cyberattack

      Apple and Tesla trade secrets reportedly exposed following a Tata Electronics cyberattack by Hamid Ganji Image via Depositphotos.com Tata Electronics has confirmed that it detected a cybersecurity incident in some of its systems. The Indian company is a manufacturing partner of both Apple and Tesla, and the incident may have exposed some trade secrets belonging to the two American companies. The World Leaks ransomware group is said to be behind the attack, and it has reportedly posted up to 200,000 files on the dark web, including component designs and specification documents related to Apple and Tesla products. Tata Electronics told Reuters that its response protocols were deployed immediately and that the “incident has had no impact on our operations across businesses, which remain unaffected.” The ransomware group reportedly sent a ransom demand to Tata Electronics, while Apple has launched an investigation into the incident. World Leaks claims it stole more than 200,000 files totaling over 630GB from Tata Electronics. Some database files on the ransomware group’s website are titled "com.apple.factorydata," which could refer to Apple’s iPhone production operations in India. Moreover, some documents reportedly contain material specifications and quality inspection standards for iPhone circuit board components. However, Apple is not the only affected company. A folder found in the World Leaks database is titled "NV36 Chargeport Controller - North America," which may refer to Tesla Model Y components. Additionally, other files in the database reportedly contain drawings related to Tesla’s Project Highland, the internal codename for the EV maker’s updated Model 3 sedan. To support the authenticity of the stolen files, World Leaks has published documents containing footers that read: "This document contains proprietary and confidential information of Apple Inc." and "information contained herein is deemed confidential, proprietary, and a trade secret of Tesla Inc." Cybersecurity researcher Rajshekhar Rajaharia told Reuters that the database also contains emails, event logs spanning several years, and passport copies of employees, including foreign nationals. Both Tesla and Apple have declined to comment on the scale of the incident.
