Klipsch Image ONE Black Image ONE Headphones and Accessories

Pros: Sounds fantastic and has a good amount of shutout so in close quarters the rest of the area doesn't have to listen to you.

Cons: the cord is TERRIBLE. Its very thin which I think was to keep down bulk which I understand but the tubing is very stiff so it kinks constantly. After a few weeks in its case between trips it looks like a slinky and refuses to stretch back out.

Overall Review: I purchased this set over a year ago if Klipsch has changed up the cording material I could not suggest these more. They sound amazing and rest comfortably on my rather large head. I would have given them a 5 if it was not for the silly cord.

Pros: This board was very easy to set up and with the OC button pushed itself to 4.6 effortlessly. I found it ran rather cool and was a fantastic looking board that held its own against many more expensive suggestions.

Cons: After about 6 months my USB ports started failing. After the first year the front ports had failed completely. A few months later the front audio jacks stopped reporting. I had high hopes for this board and really enjoyed it but at 18 months of ownership I'm replacing it since it will no longer boot with USB attached.. I have tried every software based fix I can think of and at this point can only assume it is a controller issue.

Overall Review: I would suggest this board for its ease of setup and its fine performance. The USB failure has unfortunately brought it down from what would have been a 5 egg score to a middle line 3. I would have rated lower but I am hoping this was more of a one off issue.

Corsair Obsidian Series 650D Black Steel / Aluminum ATX Mid Tower Computer Case w/Side Panel Window
Corsair Obsidian Series 650D Black Steel / Aluminum ATX Mid Tower Computer Case w/Side Panel Window

Pros: Smaller then many cases with the same features. Nice classic look and can still fit a 280mm radiator. It has no vibration noise from fans or drives.

Cons: Nothing.. I can't think of anything wrong or that could be changed on this case that you couldn't adjust on your own. One of the best towers I have ever owned.

Overall Review: Its larger then you would think. Smaller then its upsized Corsair brethren but still not exactly tiny.
