Looking for some in-ear earphones in the UK to replace my broken Sennheisers (I bought some £5 crap earphones from Argos to hold me over until I got paid). Most I'll pay is around £30 really. I don't care enough about the quality to pay more, just as long as they feel good in my ears and fit comfortably.

I just bought an Aeropress and I was wondering if anyone could recommend a good variable temperature water heater that can go along with it. I found this on amazon: http://tinyurl.com/3sm8s4a but it's a bit pricey. Am I going to have to spend about $50 for a precise water heater? Also, I don't need a huge pot because I'm only going to be making a cup or two at a time. Thanks goons!

Hey guys, I'm looking for the best earplugs that have ever been known to mankind. I want them fit for a king, able to block anything. Walmart brand doesn't cut it. I'm posting from my phone, so sorry if this has been posted before. Money isn't a problem, because I hate my roommates that much. Thank you.

You should be able to get another pair of in-ear Sennheisers in HMV for around £15. Bear in mind that Sennheisers have a 2 year warranty with them, not sure if it will be relevant to your problem though.

To really block out noise, put in foam then seal with the silicone on top. I did that when I worked nights and a construction crew was making God awful racket and it worked great. But the foam start to hurt my ears. The silicone are comfy and work great. Wearing some now.

Not sure if its been mentioned yet but if you are looking for a blender get the Vitamix 5200. it is expensive at $500 but worth every penny. last night I made an apple, grape, banana, blueberry and spinach smoothie with a few drops of agave syrup in it and it was delicious.

But be prepared to hear your breathing and sinuses functioning, to an annoying degree, imho. Takes some getting used to, is all.

Most anywhere will do it, although prices can vary greatly (had a mold done locally here for 25 euros). You will hear NOTHING, except deep bass and your own bodily functions inside your head, as the previous poster already mentioned. Even better, get a set of custom headphones made out of those molds! Westone make good ones.

As an audiologist, I will vouch for Westone but they are really pricey and I don't think they sell direct to the consumer. You're likely to get a better deal from your local audiologist than an ENT. Also if you don't like the occlusion, get musicians plugs. Still protect your hearing but have a more comfortable penetration frequency response.

I need a product to remove tape. The previous tenants in my apartment apparently loved putting tape on the windows, so now it's bonded to the glass or some poo poo. In any case, I can't seem to scrape it off, so I was wondering what product can be used to remove it.

Rubbing alcohol on a rag does a great job at least starting to break down the adhesive. Nail polish remover works as well. If that doesn't get it, goo gone works, but read the directions.

I'm thinking about doing this, or at least calling an ear doctor in the area first and asking. I would do anything to go at least a few hours of silence at night without having to listen to the loving idiots I live around. The past few days I've just kept my iPod plugged in, but I don't constantly want loud music ringing in my ears. If nothing else, the silicone sounds good and it's definitely better than nothing.

The products listed above work well, but if you're not using a razor blade for scraping, you should be. A new razor blade is like magic for removing sticky tape residue, once you've loosened it with alcohol.

Just don't use it on car windows with defrosters, as it tends to take the defroster portion off as well.

So last Christmas I searched for an affordable leather backpack that I could carry my laptop and textbooks around in, and I found Diaz Bags on Etsy. I ended up getting this bag: It's a 15 inch laptop bag in Crazy Horse. After a year, I can say that it's solid, fairly comfortable, and it definitely gets its fair share of compliments. I haven't been able to find a bag that is as big and well constructed as this one at the same price point.

Rec for men's dress socks that don't wear out too quickly or make feet sweat too much. Preferably dark color without design so I don't have to worry about matching.

I've tried one so far and it was not bad but maybe some of you have experienced the best ones.

They all kinda suck as the FCC limits the antenna strength. I like the Griffin iTrip which you can get with just an auxiliary jack. If you want really good sound my advice is to get a new car stereo with an auxiliary jack which really isn't too expensive. You can get one for $50 plus wiring harness and it isn't hard to install.

I have a somewhat specific request, maybe someone will be able to help me. I need a multi-purpose backpack that I can use for school, rock climbing, and hiking. It needs to have a modular hydration pack that I can fill up and use when its convenient, or take it out and use the space for school books or assorted equipment. I like this one, but it's hard to tell if it's big enough for a binder and 1-2 books from the picture: http://www.amazon.com/Osprey-034910-520-Raptor-10-Daypack/dp/B002N4W5EA/ref=pd_sbs_sg10

EasyTether is the best $5 (on sale, $10 normally) I have ever spent. Right now my girlfriend's internet is not working. No problem, just plug my phone into her laptop with my USB charging cable and viola! high speed internet. My mom is building a house in rural south carolina. There is no McDonalds free wifi on every corner. She can just plug her phone into her computer and get high speed 3G coverage where normally there is only dial up. I am on verizon which normally charges me an extra $20 per month to tether a phone and only allows 2Gb of data even though I have an unlimited plan.

I went through 3 pairs of sennheisers at £30 a pop where the left or right bud would start producing very low volume. So one day I went with these Philips instead and I found they were just as good, producing enough bass and outside noise reduction when you jam them in.
