Review: My Journey with the AKG K340 Earbuds

Thursday, November 5th, 2009

As you all know after my Roxy/ JBL earbuds saga I asked around for some new ones to test out.  Within 1 day I had 2 new pairs AKG K340 and AKG K321 but they were both the silicon ear pads which I typically do not like.  The first ones I tested out fully were the AKG K340.  The box was a nice sleek black box and once I opened the box they were nicely laid out.  The photos and specifications are listed below. 

Frequency range (Hz-kHz) 11.5-23
Input impedance (ohms) 16
Sensitivity (dB SPL/V) 122
Color Fudge or Liquorice
Headphones weight without cable (g) 3
Max. input power (mW) 20
99.99% oxygen-free cable (length in m) 1,0

Review: JBL Duet II Speakers

Wednesday, October 28th, 2009

I was itching for new products to review.  I know it’s been a while since I have posted a review on cutegeek.com and it was about time to get back in the game (especially with the holidays and CES fast approaching).

The first product I got in the mail was some JBL Duet II speakers.  If someone told me 10 years ago I would be excited about getting a speakers shipment I would not believe them…Yet I was excited when I got the JBL Duet II multimedia two piece speaker system package (also bummed I would HAVE to return them).

New Ear Buds On the Way

Thursday, October 22nd, 2009

One night I was up late practicing my hip hop dance skills with my Roxy/ JBL earbuds (more like a goofy attempt to recreate what my dance instructor showed me the day before) and all the sudden one side of the earbuds went out.  At first I thought; “oh no after several years of listening to music on full blast (plus being in a mosh pit at some major concerts) I have blown one ear drum out.”  EEK!

In a Zoolander attempt (the sound is IN the earbuds?!)  I took them out and somewhat ”tapped”  them a couple times to see if maybe my attempt would in fact make the earbuds work.  I also did the classic reboot of my shuffle and worked with the cable to see if it was a “Nina” error. (more…)

My IPod Shuffle is Nina certified!

Tuesday, July 21st, 2009

shuffleI was born a klutz, in fact it’s rare that I will not have a bruise on me…I run into door frames frequently.  Also as I am getting older I have developed shaky hands which has been the demise of many of my tech gadgets.  If they only could build a cell phone that once you dropped it; it would bounce back up like a basket ball! Man I should patent that idea!

To be honest I can break anything and I have no idea how it happens! Somewhat like when my dog plays with bugs and then kills them and wonders why they won’t play with her, kinda the way I feel about my gadgets. Once I was vacuuming and I ran over my husband mouse (not a real mouse, computer mouse) cord and the vacuum tore it in half!  I was so distraught!

Cut to me and my pink IPod shuffle (yes I know we all say that we don’t need to have pink products but my favorite color is pink in honor of my grandmother).  My shuffle is used about 4-5 hours a day since I live in the city and walk every where.  Seriously you don’t want me driving since I am a hot mess behind the wheel (I never took the driving portion of drivers ed.).  And yeah I know its not the newest one but frankly I still love it!  (more…)

Review: JBL ROXY On-Ear Headphones Reference 430

Wednesday, July 15th, 2009

the boxStyle, meet sound.

I remember reading about this collaboration and I quickly imagined some cool products with superb sound quality.

My current bathing suit for the summer of 09 is from Roxy and my old iPod dock is the round one JBL produced – so yea, I know what I’m talking about.

I was psyched when they asked CuteGeek to review earbuds and headphones…I’m a headphone wearer so Nina got the earbuds and I saw them and my mouth just opened.

First off – the box is really nice. Bright colors, clear, nice designs, etc…very “llamativo” (that’s a word used for things that are eye-catching or grabbing…it definitely grabs your attention). The headphones were bright orange and pink. I looked at the box for about a week, before actually taking them headphones out, and I’m not sure why, but I can almost admit that I was intimidated.

When fashion meets technology! JBL/ Roxy Earbuds & Earbuds Headphones

Tuesday, June 23rd, 2009

earbudsI was so excited when I got my first new product after E3 and it was these SUPER cute ear buds and in ear headphones from Roxy/ JBL. First off I love bright colors, I am not sure if it is because I am in California or that I am blind and frankly colors stick out more…

Radiris and I  make amazing partners in crime; we both have different technology preferences! CUTEGEEKS UNITE (imagine Radiris and I running to each other in slow motion [because everything is better in slow motion]and high fiving like big geeks)! As most of the population knows not 1 woman is the same…Radiris loves the On Ear Headphones and I love the in ear headphones/ ear buds.
