Review of Toshiba RD-85 DT

Why do so many ops fall short of the mark

Advantages: Telecommunications ops can have a lot of useful consumer advice
Disadvantages: Many are not very useful

...It has been claimed that the "easy way to make money at Ciao" is by writing in the telecommunications section, and it is true that this is an area that offers a lot of opportunities, as we have become more "connected". Gone are the days of a state-run monopoly operating being most people's general experience with "Telecommunications" as many of use probably now no longer just get a bill from BT, but also from alternative carriers, mobile phone companies, ISPs (for example if you use a Cable ISP) and now it isn't just a case of getting the quarterly shock from British Telecom, but getting monthly shocks from other sources. I currently get monthly shocks from: OneTel, Chello (pan-european Cable ISP), BTCellnet, Connect One Austria (Austrian Mobile network), Telekom Austria (landline in Austria), Cybertron (Alternative Operator in Austria...

Review of Telecommunications

I created the category so I should know

Advantages: Ciao ratings on Handsets, ISP's, Phone companies
Disadvantages: Boring to read opinions for pleasure

...burried in Memeber advice. (I know black CSS hyperlinks are not very clickable!) Look out for an opinion on Mobile phone Etiquette by a user called Lad (http://www.uk.ciao.com/opinionview.php?OpinionId=21121) Its the best I have read in that section. (and believe me I have read 'em all) The only change that should be made to Telecommunications is to rename it to Office & Communications and target it to the 'golden user' i.e. the 35-year-old large disposable income, BMW etc. Maybe they could do a deal with Office World, Staples, Viking etc. but then again maybe they couldn't....

DT8-ing all the way!

Advantages: a very good listen for hard house lovers
Disadvantages: not one of the best euphoria albums

...beyond euphoria is a very good hard house album. for those of you who don't know hard house is a very hard core, hard styling type of dance music which is characterised by a very fast tempo. some people like to call it agressive dance music. i think the choice of tracks for this album and the mixing by DT8 project is brilliant and gives the album an excellent finish. DT8 project have released some of their own songs such as "the sun is shining" and "winter" which were also very good. their track "winter" is also the first track on this album and i love it. infact winter is probably my favourite song on this album. overall my favourite cd is the first but the second is still fantastic. however, there first one has an excellent track called "no one on earth" by above an beyond who have mixed other euphoria albums. another great track is...

Not The Earner It Is Rumoured To Be

Advantages: lots of reads
Disadvantages: lots of unpaid reads

...Supposedly the most money on Ciao is made in the telecommunications section. I admit the money is a nice extra for writing opinions. I said supposedly, Looking through a few telecommunications opinions they are generally read more but read a lot more by non members, basically those who have come through the affiliate links to the site. So you may get lots of reads but the earning potential is falsely exaggerated. For example on of my friends has written an opinion on his mobile phone a particularly new model it has had 45 reads in comparison to 7-8 reads of his other opinions. But on read 8 times by members. I conclude to this that writing in this section will not make you the most money, but if you want you opinion read by everyone this is the place to be for now! The other sections on Ciao seem to be getting more popular, but...

If you want sound quality, look no further

Advantages: Excellent sound quality, loud, good background noise reduction, long cable, comfortable
Disadvantages: Ugly, a little on the expensive side

...The Beyerdynamic DT100 headphones have for a long time been the industry standard headphones in sound engineering, so the DT150s, a new improved model, have much to live up to. First off, these are not small, and they aren't particularly light either. That is not to say they are not comfortable, the soft cushions fit nicely over your ears and are excellent at reducing background noise. The headband is also nice and tight, but not too much so, obviously dependant upon your head. Neither are they the most sylish, in my opinion, in fact I would say they are positively ulgy, but I choose my equipment for performance rather than style and performance they have in spades. The bass production is by far the deepest and clearest I have heard from any headphone - it blows the competition away, simple as that. The mids and highs are also crisp...

Review of beyerdynamic DT 150

Rediscover your music

Advantages: Build,sound quality,comfort
Disadvantages: none

...I've owned these headphones for a number of years now. I chose them because being in or around the music industry i knew that beyerdynamic was the industry standard. The BBC use mostly DT100's for example. I paid i think £150 which to me was a lot of money for a set of headphones back then. I tried them on in the shop and instantly knew they were the headphones for me as they were so comfortable you didnt really know you had them on which is rare for a fully enclosed headphone. On getting them home i played some pink floyd through them using a fairly high end home set up. The sound response was remarkable. There were things coming through from the music i had never even heard before. This being because of the very large frequency response. It was like discovering my cd collection again. I have also used them on hi-fi of all...

Review of Toshiba RD-85 DT

Very good bike.

Advantages: Torque, comfortable, good looks.
Disadvantages: Nothing.

...I bought a DT on a 54 plate a few weeks back, at the time I had a broken leg which wasn't too bad as I spent the time cleaning filters, changing oil, plugs etc. and generally cleaning the thing up. Now my legs better I've had a chance to go out on the bike, my first impression was very good. The bike came with a DEP silencer and standard chamber, which I am looking to replace, when low revving the bike sounds deep and the torque is pretty impressive. The top end is also there, I don't really like to ride bikes to the red line every time I get on them but the DT will happily do 70mph and seeing as I live in a rural area that's good enough for me. However, if the bike was pushed I could see it reaching 80. The bike rides well, Yamaha usually produce good, smooth suspension and this bike is no exception. Despite having a slightly stiff...

Review of Yamaha DT125

A party for your ears

Advantages: High quality sound at an affordable price
Disadvantages: Open design not for everyone

...I bought these headphones a couple of years ago for dj-ing and normal listening to music. Beyer Dynamics is a German company specializing in recording microphones and headphones for audio professionals. The DT 131’s are an open headphone design and have the following technical characteristics: Transducer Type – Dynamic Acoustic Principle – Open Earpiece Type – Supraural Impedence – 40 Ohms Cord Length – 2 Metres They are of a dark blue / grey colour, which is pleasing to the eye, and have a modern style design. They are lightweight and fit perfectly to your head due to an automatic head size adjustment system. I have worn them for long periods without any feeling of discomfort, and they tend to stay put on your head also. At the time of purchase they were...
