Arctic Sound E351-WM – Review is a post from: Best Iphone Apps Review Website
Every so often, we do a few hardware reviews. This is one of a series of reviews for the Arctic Cooling brand of products. For more information about the company or its products, go to Arctic-Cooling.com.
The Arctic Sound E351-WM series of earbuds gives you a lot of bang for the buck. Priced at $42.20, these headphones deliver great sound and are marvellous at blocking out background noises and delivering music or audio that is clear and crisp.
The headphones come in black or white trim, which is differentiated by simply the "WM" or "BM" after the E351. The "M" at the end means that the headphones also come with a microphone built-in. Accessories include 3 sets of silicon caps to fit in ears of different sizes (one of which is already on the headphones), an adapter to use the headphones with a computer and a carrying case.
Starting with the headphones themselves: as mentioned, the sound is fantastic. The bass is deep and provides a nice clean tone. The mids and highs are both clean and pronounced and sound like what you might expect from an in ear headset like these at a much higher price point.
Unlike the Apple-branded headphones that come with the iPod touch, these in-ear phones fit snugly in the ear without falling out. I had to use the largest size of caps for my huge ears.
This model comes with a microphone that worked very well when I tested it using Skype on my device. It picked up my voice clearly and allowed me to hear the other party without any real background noises. I also tested using the computer adapter that comes with the earbuds and the results worked similarly well. On a side note, the same dongle containing the microphone also has a button on the other side to pause and resume any audio that might be playing.
The attractive carrying case that comes with the headphones is compact and well-designed (the same case comes with all of the high-end Arctic Cooling headphones). You simply place the buds in the center and wrap the cord around the circumference. It makes it easy to carry the headphones around without getting the cord tangled or stuck somewhere.
I suppose if I had any minor complaints about the set, it would be the lack of volume controls on the dongle. The Apple earphones do come with such a volume control and it is convenient to have particularly if the iPod touch or iPhone is in a pocket. However, there are still volume controls on the side of the device and the capability is more of a nice-to-have than a need-to-have.
At approximately half the price of comparable Apple earbuds, the high-quality sound of the Arctic Sound E351-WM headphones makes it an absolute bargain.

I know you’re going to think I’m crazy but I think man’s greatest invention is denim. Seriously, think about it, denim has worked it’s way into every modern society around the world. It’s durable, comfortable, and stylish at the same time. It can be business casual but add some paint spots and then it’s trendy. Heck, it can even pose as formal wear in the right circles, who doesn’t love a Canadian tuxedo? There’s not a doubt in my mind that everyone reading this has a favorite pair of jeans in their closet as we speak, unless of course you’re like me and already wearing them. The only problem I ever face with my jeans is that they wear out, not in the knees or the heels, I can deal with that, but in the back pockets. I used to blame it on my George Castanza like wallet, but even when I went to a slimmer style and purged all of the loyalty cards I still found holes, bringing my jeans to premature deaths. 
SmrtCase advertises the Glide to be capable of fitting up to two thicker cards (ID & Credit Card) comfortably together in the back slot. 
It’s not to say that the Sticky Strap is limitless, quite the opposite, and aprodukt’s list of “
So how do we avoid this plague? Well the two news reports below suggest using rubbing alcohol on a cotton swab to periodically clean it. Thats all well and good but, as the first report eludes to, how often do people really remember to clean their phones? At least one company has decided to step up and help protect us, even when we didn’t know we needed protecting. 
Ok I admit some of this may be a little dramatic and I certainly don’t want to walk out of my house tomorrow to see everyone talking on their phones, holding it with a handkerchief, and keeping it few inches away from there ear. Well ok, I do want to see that, but only because that would mean every person in Phoenix reads my writing. Seriously though, I do think it’s important to know about these risks, and knowing is half the battle (I can’t believe I just worked a G.I. Joe quote into an article.).
A stylus? Psh, get rid of it. A physical keyboard? Nah, no need for that either. Tactile feedback is a thing of the past, all we need is a big glass touch screen…right? Well that’s what Apple would have you believe anyway, a theory that is further being cemented with their upcoming release of the iPad. On a basic level it seems to be very true, we’re able to text, surf the web, take photos, all without any physical buttons or keys. What about high level gaming though, is that a different story? If you’d asked me 3 years ago I would’ve said “there’s no way for it to be done. We’re humans, touch is one of our basic senses, we need it.” Over the past several months though with games like

Years ago with the introduction of the iPod Photo (the first color screen iPod) came a great idea, the ability to add photos directly onto an iPod while on the go. Since SD cards were so expensive for a very small amount of storage space this was huge break through for casual and professional photographers alike. Apple was the first to add support with it’s own SD Card Dock Connector followed by a few 3rd party makers. Slowly the need for the adapter died off as SD Cards became drastically cheaper.
