Able Planet NC500SC Sound Clarity Noise Canceling Headphones
So about two months ago I bought the Able Planet NC500SC Sound Clarity Noise Canceling Headphones from woot.com
Able Planet NC500SC Sound Clarity
The head phones are pretty awesome for the most part, the active noise canceling is amazing.
I tested them while mowing the lawn a few times, and wow I’m able to have music on a reasonable level while the headphones cancel out the majority of the lawn mower noise.
They’re also extremely comfortable, I’m able to have them on for hours at a time with no issues(which is a major plus)
The removable cord is a really great feature
The downsides are:
They seem bass heavy leaving the high frequency to suffer, not that much of an issue though
When the active noise canceling is on I’ll get horrible interference with an active cell phone,
I emailed Able Planet about this issue and got this response:
Good afternoon,
I’m sorry to hear that your being inconvenienced unfortunately, several
electronic devices could cause disruption it’s not a defect it’s just
electronics sending out frequencies. I’m sorry I can’t be of much help
but there is not a whole lot that can be done.
If anyone knows how to stop or reduce interference with active noise canceling headphones, please leave a comment.
Other then those downsides, I love these headphones and would buy them again.
Replace the harddrive in Asus eee pc 1201PN
so I got the Asus eee pc 1201pn net book, and also a solid state drive from newegg
you have to gut the 1201PN to replace the hard drive, unlike my 1000ha, where you take off two screws, then two more for the harddrive
Rather neat take on TV show

Pioneer One is a low budget sci-fi series that’s funded via donations and is free(and legal!) to download
The show starts off kinda slow and does end slow…though it is a sci-fi drama but did leave me wondering what is going to happen next. On a major plus note the acting isn’t horrible, yes it can be improved a bit, but like any show as the series goes on the actors start to work better together
also, they’re nice enough to release it in 720p using x264 :D, here’s the mkvinfo on the file: (Click “Show” to expand the mkvinfo output)
