My new set of Headphones - Creative HQ80 Review



Recently i felt the need for buying a new set of headphone after by old philips SBC HL140 stopped working. This time i was looking specifically for neodymium or neo headphones. after doing a quick search in the wikipedia i found out that Neodymium magnets are very strong in comparison to their mass and this makes them an ideal candidate for being used as magnets in headphones and loudspeakers.

--- extract ---
A neodymium magnet or NIB magnet (also, but less specifically, called a rare-earth magnet) is a powerful magnet made of a combination of neodymium, iron, and boron — Nd2Fe14B.
