Etymotic HF2

The HF2 by Etymotic are very popular in the audiophile community and so are other products by Etymotic. I am very impressed by the sound quality they produce, the highs are silky crisp and clear and that makes the HF2 the ideal earphones for classical and vocal music. There is a lot of sound detail and a wide sound stage that makes you feel like your in a dream listening to your music. the bass is not strong or overpowering but very clear and precise however that makes the HF2 not so suitable for Hip-Hop music, so I cannot recommend getting these if your a basshead and want strong heavy bass.

The HF2 also feature a mic and can control your music with the touch of a button, the sound quality of the mic is also very high and clear so you will sound great to who ever your speaking with. You can also use the mic for voice memos. The build quality is outstanding, the housing has a nice matte coating. They are also very light so they are very comfortable in your ear. The HF2 comes with many ear tips including foam tips that I think are the best and most comfortable, they provide ultra sound isolation. I found the HF2 to be the best sound isolating earphones. 

In the box you get a nice handy carry pouch, ear tips and a filter changing tool with extra filters. The HF2 are available in a non headset version called the HF5 that is also costs less. The HF2 are available in 3 colors. Price is $179. Available for less on Amazon.

Macessity TrayStation for MacBooks

The TrayStation is a riser stand for your Macbook and it will fit any sized Macbook too. The TrayStation consists of 2 parts, the Station (stand) that is made out of metal and the tray that is made out of clear acrylic, this way you have 2 options for cooling your Macbook, you can use just the tray on a desk or on your lap or you can latch it onto the Station for better viewing. Both the Station and Tray have 4 rubber feet underneath, the Tray has a channel to help ventilate hot air and cool both your lap and your Macbook. The TrayStation does not have any fans and my only drawback i have is that the base (Station) is not made out of aluminum, instead it is heavy metal coated in aluminum color, nothing wrong but it would have been much nice to have anodized aluminum instead. The TrayStation does a nice job keeping the Macbook cooler but also does a great job rising it 6” from your desk. The StayStation is very well designed and does match with other Apple products, a hole in the back acts as a cable management for your power or usb cables. Your also able to only purchase the clear acrylic Tray from Macessity. Price $54.99.
