Oops. Wrong link. Here is the correct link to the best sports headphones guide:

I can think of quite a few headphones that are better than these for working out. How about Sennheiser's range of sports headphones? Or how about this guide to the best sports headphones for some more ideas:

I've just been trying to track the Sleek Audio SA6 down in the UK and finally found them at HiFi Headphones (http://www.hifiheadphones.co.uk).

I've just ordered myself a pair today!
Ouch.. they are expensive. I'm happy with my Sennheiser HD650's, which set me back about £200 ($400) three months ago - got them from http://www.hifiheadphones.co.uk

The HD650's sound so smooth and clear. I can hear all kinds of details in my music that wasn't discernible before. I love 'em!
I have to fly a lot as I have to travel around Europe for my job. I’ve found that some of the cheaper noise cancelling headphones don’t do a particularly great job of keeping outside sounds out.

The type with full size earcups are best as they isolate you from the noise physically, as well as via active electronics.

I've stuck with a pair of Sennheiser PXC350 noise cancelling headphones I’ve been had for a few months now. They are extremley comfortable and surprisingly lightweight.
According to what I've read on the forums some normal PC hard disk drives don't work in Sky+ boxes. I read of problems with spin up times and read times which could cause problems.

After lots of searching I went for a Sky+ hard disk upgrade kit from XtendedPlay:

They supply Consumer Electronics (CE) drives that are designed specially to work in PVRs.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm looking for a solid state drive, around 32 to 64GB, for use in my web server. The drive will contain my web sites and the operating system, either Windows Server 2008 R2 or Ubuntu. Large storage is handled by a separate RAID array, so capacity is not an issue. Rather, I am looking for the fastest, longest-lasting, and most reliable drive under $150 that is suitable to my application. Any thoughts? Thanks!"
