Shure SRH145 on-ear headphone review
Shure brings style and great sound to the budget segment
Shure is well known in the audiophile community for pumping out some serious audio gear. However, those who do not want to spend an arm and a leg on a pair of headphones may have not had an opportunity to hear what they’re capable of. As of late, Shure has been trying to stretch its reach to cover more budgets. One of the latest additions is the SRH145 on-ear headphones.
Design
In touring the product, I get the feeling of compromise and balance. As all headphones in this price range (and even much above), you see cut corners in the materials. The band is not made of the best feeling plastic. But in what I consider a great move, Shure laminated the entire surround of the headband with a sleek-looking brushed-metal finish. This was a fantastic choice in material, which gives an inexpensive product an expensive look, and stands out (in a good way). It feels nice too.
For portability, Shure engineered a hinge system on the left and right sides of the bands.
They fold so that the cups fill the space and reduce considerably in size. This is always a great feature to have, if you’re taking these on the go. However, since the thought is portability, I wish Shure would’ve included a carrying case in the box.
The cord is considerable in length (5ft to be exact). It connects to both cups, from their bottoms (non-removable). The headphone jack is a 90 degree connector.
Everything here feels as it should, sturdy.
The earcups wobble to allow for different angles of ear placement. To fit varying head sizes, instead of the typical band extension, the earcups slide up or down on a railing.
Comfort
Since these headphones are on-ear (they rest on the ears, as opposed to over-ear earcups, which encompass the ear), the earpads are made of a supple cushion. It feels similar to memory foam, and I didn’t notice any discomfort over a period of continual use. Although, they do heat up my ears, but this is a common occurrence with on-ears.
The upper portion of the headband has a similar, cushiony material, for comfort as the headphones rest on the top of your head. Together with the lightness in weight, I didn’t find any discomfort here either.
Sound
*I used an iBasso D-Zero MK2 DAC and Tidal HiFi music samples to conduct this review.
So now to the most important aspect of every headphone review – the sound. I found the SRH145 to have a mostly balanced sound signature. That is, there isn’t a particular frequency range that dominants too much (i.e. bass). The way I would describe it is that a little prominence is taken from the treble and given to the bass. The mids sit at a nice place.
The bass provides a considerable punch when the song demands it, and can sometimes be boomy. It should be sufficient to satisfy bassheads. It’s slower-paced kind of response to my ears and definition was occasionally questionable (but decent for the most part). Mid-bass holds its composure better than sub-bass does (punchy rather than low-end rumble), and can even steal the show. This is fine with me as a compromise, as mid-bass is generally dominant in music.
I love the mids on this thing, they’re done very nicely. I always appreciate when vocals aren’t pushed back in favor for the other frequencies. Shure has a tendency not to do this, and they show on the SRH145. Treble leaves a little to be desired. It doesn’t appear to reach that far, at least compared to more detailed (expensive) headphones. But from what I can hear, it gets the job done.
I don’t expect much on soundstage and imaging from on-ear headphones (due to the spatial limitation, compared to over-ears). Also, at this price point, I imagine more of the focus is on getting the sound right. The soundstage of the SRH145 slightly exceeded my expectation. I would say it’s wide enough to satisfy most people. But expect more of an in-head-directed sound, not very spacious. And that goes for imaging too. Certain instruments can slightly show spatial differentiation, depending on how the song was made, but it isn’t going to wow you.
Final Thoughts
I had a great time checking out the SRH145 on-ears. I wasn’t sure what to expect or what focus Shure took with them. I was left pleasantly surprised with what you get for your money. I just about agree with all of the choices and compromises Shure took.
Most people want a considerable bass response, and the SRH145 certainly delivers. Also, the mids (which are often neglected) are done beautifully in my opinion. Design is equally done well for the price. Comfort is where it should be, they fold down for portability, and the metal-finish band is a simple solution to adding a good, non-cheap look. This is a great offering for the $39

Apple Acquires Mapping Visualization Startup Mapsense
Apple has purchased mapping startup Mapsense, reports Re/code. Mapsense is a San Francisco-based startup that’s able to sort through massive geotagged datasets to create quick geographical visualizations of location-based data points that can be embedded into apps.
According to its website, Mapsense built a cloud-based high-speed mapping engine that could ingest and index huge amounts of data with “lightning fast” search and filtering and simple visual analysis tools.
There are over 10 billion devices on the planet streaming location data on a daily basis. While collecting location data has become mainstream, the traditional tools to visualize, understand, and harness it have been hampered by the speed and scale of this massive and complex new datasource. Mapsense’s platform and developer tools help organizations quickly ingest and analyze billions of rows of location data to make more intelligent, locally targeted business decisions across the organization.
Apple is said to have paid between $25 and $30 million for Mapsense, and its 12-person team will join Apple. Apple confirmed the acquisition to Re/code with its standard acquisition statement: “Apple buys smaller technology companies from time to time, and we generally do not discuss our purpose or plans.”
It is not clear what Apple will use the Mapsense technology for, but this is just one of a long line of mapping companies Apple has purchased to improve its Maps app. Over the past several years, Apple has purchased companies like HopStop, Coherent Navigation, Locationary, WifiSLAM, Embark, and Broadmap.
Fanboys unite! Apple releases ‘Move to iOS’ app to the Play Store
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push();
At the end of the day, it is all about the consumer. The beauty of the smartphone market is choice. While we are an Android focused blog, we try not to bash on Apple and iOS unless it really deserves to be said. In this instance, I am quite happy about what Apple has just released to the Play Store. The app is called ‘Move to iOS’ and does, or is supposed to do, exactly what the title states. Which is allow you to move all your photos, messages, Google Account info, contacts, bookmarks and free apps from your Android 4.0 running device to a compatible Apple iPhone device (iOS9). Any paid apps will land in your iTunes/App Store wishlist to re-purchase. It is like Samsung Smart Switch, which is another great tool to pull everything off an iPhone to a Samsung phone, or go from Samsung to Samsung. Similarly, Move to iOS creates a device-to-device Wi-Fi network connection to migrate all the data over. Simply install the app, open it up and pull out your iPhone. You should get a screen pop-up to enter the security code that appears on the Android phone.
I am sure the fanboys, and fangirls, will be all over flaming the app and rating it low. That is the nature of the beast. I for one, am happy to finally see a simple app to make it possible to switch back and forth fairly seamlessly. At the very least, this app will give retail sales associates another way to make the customer transfer experience pleasant. If you are a dual OS wielder and have some time, give it an install and let us know how it works out.

EPIX will allow offline viewing of content later this month on multiple mobile platforms
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push();
Media streamers and cord cutters face some issues here and there when it comes to consuming movies and TV shows. The big ones can be attributed to constantly monitoring their data consumption to avoid overage on their wireless bill or home internet. Another issue is being some where that data is to slow or non-existent. As streaming and digital content continues to grow, so must the providers of the content. Recently Amazon announced that they were launching the ability for consumers to save movies and TV Shows for offline viewing, now Epix is following suit sometime this month.
“The EPIX goal has always been to provide our subscribers with next level enhancements, elevating how they can access content across devices,” said Mark Greenberg, EPIX President and CEO. “By creating a network first, true TV Everywhere experience, consumers can now download a movie from our library and watch it anywhere, anytime, even without a Wi-Fi connection – while waiting at the airport, traveling by train, commuting to work, or even on a camping trip. Consumers now have guaranteed content mobility.”
The move will make the big franchise movies available at anytime. You can look forward to having the complete Hunger Games series, James Bond and Star Trek. Not to mention original documentaries, music events and comedy shows. The ability will come through the mobile app and will be available across Kindle Fire, Apple and Android devices.
We will be on the lookout for the app update, and their marketing campaign that is to ensue as well, and let you know when we see it go live.

How to Give Your Phone a Near-Stock Android Experience
A major hallmark of the Android operating system is flexibility. When developers get their hands on that flexibility, it’s understandable that they would want to gear up their device with as much customized software as possible. A number of phones produced today come with extensive modifications aimed at giving users a unique experience and special features that you wouldn’t get with the stock experience. Sometimes the best intentions have awful consequences.
Even the slickest phones sometimes come with awful, counter-intuitive launchers, keyboards with buggy autocorrect, and gimmicky camera apps. It’s true that companies are getting better at sussing out and crafting the kind of experience their userbase is looking for. The Moto X, for instance, provides several examples of a customized Android interface done right, but even some aspects of its Moto Assist app are more irritating than they are useful.
More and more users just want to get back to a basic, stock-feeling Android experience. They want to find solid ground and customize their device from there, but all the garbage that comes pre-loaded on their device can make it difficult to prune away the razzle dazzle and appreciate Android’s vanilla functionality.
It’s true that hardcore users can achieve this end readily by rooting their device and flashing the ROM of their choice, but for many users, the risks and responsibilities of rooting simply outweigh the benefits. Fortunately, you can achieve a near-stock Android experience without rooting if you make just a handful of key adjustments.
Depending on your device, you might have some of these apps and settings already configured, but by the time you’re finished with this walkthrough, you’ll have a device that functions very closely to a completely vanilla-feeling Android.
The Launcher
In many ways, your launcher is the most important app on your phone. It’s the central interface that you use on a daily basis. Your launcher determines how your homescreens are organized, how your icons appear, and how your app tray functions. A lot of people aren’t even aware that they can change their launcher, and they make do with buggy, product-specific launchers.
You actually have a ton of choices when it comes to launchers. Action Launcher 3 is a popular choice, as is Nova Launcher. A flashier option is Holo Launcher, if bells and whistles are what you’re after. However, if you’re looking to strip down your device to a stock experience, we recommend going with Google Now Launcher.
Google Now Launcher is a launcher designed by, you guessed it, Google, the same folks who created Android in the first place. When it comes to clean and intuitive, Google is pretty hard to beat, and you can rest assured that the launcher developer is intimately familiar with the operating system right out of the box. Furthermore, Google’s spooky, mega-corp data harvesting and effectively infinite resources mean that issues are identified and patched quickly.
Google Now Launcher also gives you access to Google Now Cards right from the launcher, which allow you to passively submit information to Google so it can anticipate your needs and interests. These are a little eerie at first, but once you get used to it, having your parking spot automatically tagged with a pin and getting the traffic on the route home from work analyzed before you leave the office is pretty sweet. “OK Google” voice commands are also becoming increasingly accurate, and the Now launcher integrates seamlessly with this feature.
It doesn’t have much flash or pizazz, but if you want simple, elegant, and vanilla, Google Now Launcher will go a long way toward making your phone feel more like a practical device and less like some developer’s idea of a special snowflake.

The Lock Screen
Lock screens can sometimes be a little buggy. Many custom versions aren’t super reliable, and others rely on playful gimmicks that really just aren’t conducive to regular use. You have a lot of options when it comes to lock screens, but if you really can’t stand the one your phone came with, Go Locker is a simple and effective alternative.
The Keyboard
Your keyboard is probably the second most important app on your phone, and once again, a lot of people aren’t aware that they can change it. Your phone’s ability to predict and correct text input is often tied to the keyboard that you use, so picking a smarter keyboard is essential for reducing the amount of times you find yourself screaming, “Damn you, Autocorrect!”
For a stock-feeling keyboard, I’m going to recommend going with another Google program, Google Keyboard. It’s clean, simple, and has a no-nonsense approach to predicting your input and correcting your errors.
It’s not a terribly customizable app, and if you’re looking for the all around best current keyboard then SwiftKey may be your cup of tea. However, if you’re on the hunt for vanilla, then it doesn’t get much more vanilla than running Google apps on a Google operating system.
Which brings me to our final change:
The Camera
Having the right camera app can make all the difference in the world in terms of picture quality. Sometimes devices come pre-loaded with camera apps that precisely compliment the phone’s hardware capabilities without any unnecessary frills. Other times, your phone might come with a clumsy, thrown-together camera app that feels like it was designed by someone who had only a passing familiarity with the concept of “user interface” and who had maybe used a camera once in their life.
So, what developer can we turn to for a simple camera that interfaces naturally with the Android operating system? That’s right, I’m recommending Google Camera.
Remember, this is about achieving a stock-feeling experience, and Google is very hard to beat in that regard. But just because the Google Camera runs very smoothly on practically all devices, don’t think its simplicity comes without a handful of interesting functions. The Photosphere feature, for instance, is a pretty cool tool that you can use to patch together several images.
In Closing
When you’re looking to go stock, it makes sense to use products that are all designed by the same developer to encourage a consistent feel throughout your experience. Moreover, it just makes a lot of sense to use apps developed by the same people who conceived of the operating system if you’re seeking vanilla. The benefit of trimming your phone down to a close-to-stock feel s that it gives you a firm foundation to begin experimenting with new, more adventurous apps that may suit your needs more effectively. Keep experimenting! You never know when a better launcher, camera, or keyboard might come along.
These are our recommendations for getting your Android back to a near-stock experience. Are there any better apps that you believe have an even simpler and more basic feel to them? Let us know in the comments!
Telltale Games’ Minecraft: Story Mode is coming to Google Play on October 15
Telltale Games has just announced that the first episode of its new point-and-click title Minecraft: Story Mode will make its way to Android on Thursday, October 15th. The first episode will be entitled ‘The Order of the Stone’ and is the first of five episodes in the season.
Developed in partnership with Mojang, this new title will feature popular voice actors such as Patton Oswalt, Brian Posehn, Ashley Johnson, Scott Porter, Martha Plimpton, Dave Fennoy, Corey Feldman, Billy West and Paul Reubens. Judging by the first trailer (attached below), it looks to feature a somewhat dark storyline with familiar gameplay that’s usually found in Telltale games. Here’s a brief synopsys of what you’ll find in ‘The Order of the Stone’:
In Minecraft: Story Mode, playing as either a male or female hero named ‘Jesse,’ you’ll embark on a perilous adventure across the Overworld, through the Nether, to the End, and beyond. You and your friends revere the legendary Order of the Stone: Warrior, Redstone Engineer, Griefer, and Architect; slayers of the Ender Dragon. While at EnderCon in hopes of meeting Gabriel the Warrior, Jesse’s friends discover that something is wrong… something dreadful. Terror is unleashed, and you must set out on a quest to find The Order of the Stone if you are to save your world from oblivion.
This is the first Telltale game that allows the player to choose the appearance of the main character. Not only can you choose between a male or female version of Jesse, you can also choose up to three different looks for each gender.
Minecraft: Story Mode will first launch on Tuesday, October 13th on PC, Mac, PlayStation 3 and 4, as well as on the Xbox One and 360. Following the launch on October 15th for Android and iOS devices, the game will also be available on the Wii U and PlayStation Vita. Telltale says more details are coming regarding the game’s availability for these platforms, so be sure to stay tuned.
#IStandwithAhmed supports teen arrested for making his own clock
Last night, the Dallas Morning News reported an odd story. A teenager in Irving, TX brought a homemade electronics project to school, and while his engineering teacher called it “really nice,” after another teacher saw it the police got involved. He was arrested, handcuffed and potentially faced charges of making a hoax bomb, even though according to an Irving PD spokesman, he never told anyone the wires, circuits and LCD made anything other than a clock.
As seen above opened up (the LCD faces outward), the small case doesn’t look like much of anything, but cops who apparently got their training from 80s movies couldn’t see any alternative. Despite lacking any explosives — and being a clock — that it was made by Ahmed Mohamed, a Muslim student whose family immigrated from Sudan, was seemingly enough to raise suspicion. Although school officials, police and the local mayor curiously couldn’t figure out how to support a young innovator, this story turns when the internet filled in with the rapid spread of #IStandwithAhmed on social media.
https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/3mW4w0Y1OXE?rel=0
The hashtag #IStandwithAhmed joined people around the world in expressing support for Mohamed and his interests, as well as disgust at the way he has been treated. People have posed with clocks and shown off their bare-wire circuitry experiments that could be cause for arrest if the police guess you look like a potential terrorist.
You’ve probably seen the story about Ahmed, the 14 year old student in Texas who built a clock and was arrested when he…

Cool clock, Ahmed. Want to bring it to the White House? We should inspire more kids like you to like science. It’s what makes America great.
— President Obama (@POTUS) September 16, 2015
Former blogger tech entrepreneur and writer Anil Dash has been vocally supportive of the teen since the story broke, creating a Help Ahmed Make page for others to reach out with possible projects and support of Mohamed and his family. Now, others are chiming in as well. Pebble has expressed support to a fellow clock-maker, and invites for the student have come in from JPL/NASA, MIT, the White House and Facebook.

Today Irving Police announced they would not press any charges, but that doesn’t excuse the fact that this silly event ever happened, and probably will again. The mayor of Irving stated in a Facebook post that the police were “following protocol” for a Hoax Bomb. This is the same mayor who recently pushed for a bill that she claimed would protect against “foreign” law from being used in court rulings, in an attempt to “solve” the problem of an Islamic mediation panel.
This recalls an incident two years ago when another teenager working on a science project was arrested, expelled and charged with a felony after a science experiment. Charges against Kiera Wilmot were eventually dropped, but she still had to finish her high school education at another school after enduring the embarrassing episode.
Sometimes when people in your area don’t think you look like an engineer, you get a different response to the same projects of ingenuity and creativity that we love to see here on Engadget. This creates a chilling effect that serves no one, and makes for a tech world that’s less interesting and inclusive than it can be. Creativity should be for everyone — find out how to make your own innocuous-looking clock here — and hopefully long after this hashtag is done trending, people will remember that. Further updates from Ahmed Mohamed and his family are available from @IStandwithAhmed.

Scientists control a worm’s brain cells using sound waves
Forget using clunky headsets and implants to control brain cells… one day, you might only need to use sound waves and some chemicals. Salk Institute scientists have found a way to control the brain cells of a tiny nematode worm through ultrasound. All they need to do to trigger activity is add a membrane ion channel to a neuron cell and blast it with ultrasonic waves — in this experiment, the researchers changed the worm’s direction through sound bursts. The approach is not only relatively unintrusive, but can reach deep into the body. You could trigger neural activity without ever hooking up an electrode, even for much larger animals.
This doesn’t amount to total mind control, and it’s not certain that this works with mammals yet. The Salk team has only just started testing with mice, and humans are a distant prospect. If it does work, though, it could prove a boon to medicine. Doctors could use ultrasound to selectively activate not only parts of the brain, but muscles and other places where cells will respond to ultrasound. They could stimulate unresponsive cells, correct irregular behavior and otherwise get your body’s activity back on track.

iRobot’s cloud-connected Roomba 980 is smart enough to map floors
Two years ago, iRobot got rid of bristles with the Roomba 880. Now, the company is making its iconic vacuum cleaning robot even smarter with the Roomba 980, which it claims is the first Roomba to “combine adaptive navigation with visual localization.” Translation? It’s a heckuva lot smarter than past Roomba’s, so much so that it can map and clean an entire floor on its own. That’s something iRobot CTO Paolo Pirjanian hinted at when we spoke to him at CES — he was far more intrigued by bots that could understand and interact with your home more than drones. The 980 is also the first Roomba that’s connected to the cloud, allowing you to control it from iRobot’s new “HOME” app. That lets you kick off Roomba cleanings from anywhere, as well as manage your vacuum bot’s schedule. The Roomba 980 hits the US and Canada for $899 starting on September 17. Slideshow-320546
“The technology embodied in this robot is going to change the role robots play in our lives,” iRobot co-founder and CEO Colin Angle said at a launch event today. He went on to say it’s probably the most significant launch from iRobot since the original Roomba hit floors in 2002.
Basically, the Roomba 980 is iRobot’s foray into the smart home. The company notes it’s the first time its “visual simultaneous localization and mapping” (vSLAM) tech has made it to a consumer device — it was previously found on more enterprise-oriented products like its Ava telepresence robot. vSLAM sits at the heart of the company’s new “iAdapt 2.0 Navigation with Visual Localization” technology, which allows Roomba to not only avoid obstacles, but also intelligently map your floors (another first for Roombas). A visual sensor (basically a powerful camera) along with a floor tracking sensor allow it to know exactly how far it goes in any direction.
“It can create an actual map of the home,” Angle said. “This is important because our goal is not to clean a part of your home, our goal is to clean your entire home.”
Oh yes, and it can clean well too: The company claims its brushless motor cleans carpets and rugs twice as well as its generation 3 motors (from the brush-equipped 600 and 700 models). It’s unclear if it’s much better than the Roomba 880, though. The 980 can clean for a full two hours, and if it still has work to do after that, it will return to its home base to charge and then get back to it.
So what led iRobot to finally make a Roomba app? Angle says the big reason was to give you an easier way to schedule their Roombas. Many people just avoided using the built-in scheduling buttons in past Roombas, he said. The app also lets you check up on your Roomba to make sure it did its homework, as well as tweak how exactly it cleans your home.
Sure, it’s very expensive, but that’s par for the course for most new Roombas. What’s most intriguing about the Roomba 980 is how it fundamentally changes the way robotic vacuums work. Ideally, all of its sensors means you won’t have to run around the house clearing your floors of obstacles, or sweep up any stray dirt that Roomba may have missed. And if it’s too rich for your blood, take solace in the fact that it may drive down the price of the brushless Roomba 880, as well as older models.
