Summer 2012 Buyer's Guide: Headphones And In-Ear Monitors (IEMs)

Put an end to busting your wallet for great audio fidelity with this selection of products.

Summer 2012 Buyer's Guide: Headphones And In-Ear Monitors (IEMs)

This guide essentially covers headphones and In-Ear Monitors (IEMs) under Rs 6,000. That's the amount of money most average users are willing to spend on these products. Those with deeper pockets are hardened audiophiles, who don't frankly need much help to begin with. Another thing you will notice about this guide is that you won't find any relatively well-known brands here. For a good reason too!

I don't advise opting for easily visible brands, if your budget is under Rs 3000. Well-known manufacturers are too bloated with greater operational overheads to offer decent audio fidelity in the budget to mid-end IEM \ headphone segment...

We must make it clear right now that Dave does not possess any superhuman powers, but he has acquired the ability to attract magnetic materials, thanks to four magnetic implants in his arm.

Download: Firefox Beta (Android)

Firefox is out with a new beta browser for Android handsets. It works with devices running Android 2.1 (Eclair) and above, and promises a faster start-up and page load time. The browser sports a revamped UI, called the Awesome Screen with the start page loading with Top Sites, by default. Currently in the testing stage, it offers Flash support and a lot of plugins. Having said that, Flash doesn’t work with Tegra 2 devices that run on Gingerbread, and the new version doesn't offer support to tablets, so currently, its only for smartphones.
