Gifts For Gamers: JVC Xtreme-Xplosivs Headphones (My Favorites)

Gifts For Gamers:

JVC Xtreme-Xplosivs In Ear Headphones

Everyone needs a pair of good quality headphones.  Whether you are listening to music, playing video games, using Skype on your smartphone, or listening to your favorite podcasts (like Eviscerated or Electronic Education), you should have a nice sounding, durable pair of headphones.

After getting my iPhone, I needed to replace the next to no bass response basic iPhone earbuds asap.  I searched long and hard for a pair of heavy hitting bass response earbuds that were affordable and had a durable build to them.  After a lot of comparing, pricing, and reading owner comments, I settled on a pair of JVC Xtreme Xplosivs Earbud Headphones and I have never been more satisfied with my decision.


I highly recommend the Xtreme Xplosivs by JVC.  The highs, mids, and bass all sound excellent.  They are super durable with nice thick cords, have plenty of cord length, and are very comfortable to wear.  If you enjoy bass heavy music or bass gaming explosions then these are truly awesome headphones for under $20! Many reviewers even stated that these are better than Beats by Dre and for a tiny fraction of the price of those over-hyped Beats.  I've gotta say if you bought Beats by Dre then you got suckered and coulda had the same thing (if not better) for $20 instead of $200.  Sorry R9z!

Xtreme-Xplosives by JVC
(Not as huge as they look)

These headphones are the best earbuds that I have ever owned.  I'm so happy with my purchase that I've referred them on to other gamers and music fans as well.  Nic (@BoneandArrow13), from the earlier episodes of Eviscerated, purchased a pair off of my recommendation and this is what he has to say about the JVC Xtreme-Xplosivs that he also purchased:

The JVC Xtreme-Xplosives are an awesome set of headphones. I have been happy with them since day one. The best thing about this set of headphones is that they get better with time. The bass starts to get better as more hours of music are put through these headphones. I am glad that I found such a great pair of headphones for such a small amount of money. Although they look kind of clunky in the pictures, they are extremely light and feel great once they are put in your ears. I was surprised a lot by this; I couldn’t believe that these were so light. Another thing is these headphones just look plain awesome when you wear them. If you want something with great bass at an affordable price then look no further than the JVC Xtreme-Xplosives! 

- Nic

You can also now get them in a variety of colors and can also get them with or without and in-line microphone.  Check out all the Xtreme Xplosives options on Amazon.

Cold's Gold Blogging Carnival Announcement

Anouncement

Cold's Gold Blogging Carnivals Are Moving To A New Home

Recently I have been writing very few posts regarding anything to do with World of Warcraft.  If you listen to The Eviscerated Gaming Podcast, then it's no secret that I'm just not playing much World of Warcraft these days.  I've been playing WoW since before the very first patch 1.1, so yeah, after this long it is getting old, boring, repetative, and lame.  Over the past 3+ years, I've poured my heart and soul into this blog, but lately I've had very little desire to write about a game that I am starting to loathe.  I find myself focusing more and more on my other passions as WoW falls by the wayside.  My car has finally died and is now in the junkyard, so my time is even more limited than before.  I am relying on public transportation for all of my travels, so my free time is even more valuable to me.  So I choose to do things that I am more passionate about at this time, like playing with my Kontrol S2.

I've been putting my heart and soul into Eviscerated, the Electronic Education DJ segments on Eviscerated, and more recently my own solo project, The Electronic Education Podcast, which is available on iTunes & Stitcher Radio.   These projects have been much more enjoyable than blogging about making gold in Warcraft over and over again.  I've written almost 800 posts on this blog and to tell the truth, there just isn't much new to say about making gold in World of Warcraft.  I'm not going to be like some other gold bloggers and re-hash old content, steal ideas from others, or write fluff posts just as filler.  That's just not my style.  I will continue to post occasionally if a fresh idea strikes me, but at this point the gold blog posts will be few and far between.

Passing The Torch On The Blogging Carnival

The Cold's Gold Blogging Carnivals here on the site have been a great success and a key feature in helping share traffic with other bloggers within the gold blog-o-sphere.  Because of the community nature and the assistance the gold blogging carnival provides for newer bloggers, I would hate to see it become extinct.  Therefore, today I am announcing a new host for the Gold Blogging Carnivals, who will carry on with the monthly topics and hosting of the monthly carnival submissions starting with releasing the topic for next month.

The new Gold Blogging Carnivals will now be hosted by Selltacular over on his blog, Copper To Gold.  I am officially passing the torch on to Selltacular, so be sure to check his site for future blogging carnival topics and compilations.  He should have a carnival topic post up shortly and will appreciate the support with the new carnivals.

Thanks for the great participation in the Gold Blogging Carnivals while they were housed here at Cold's Gold Factory over the years, but it is time to send them to a new home.

More info can be found in his new post: New Host Of Cold's Gold Blogging Carnivals.

Eviscerated Gaming Podcast #47 - "Non-Filtered"

The Eviscerated Gaming Podcast

Episode #47 - "Non-Filtered"

On this episode of The Eviscerated Gaming Podcast, we cover our normal crazy news stories, Warcraft topics, and wrap up the "community" drama that's spilled over onto Twitter, other podcasts, and more recently onto WoW Insider, thanks to that little bitch Hasteur.  We play back some highlights that sparked the debates, as well as add more thoughts on the issues and current developments.  It's a crazy fun show, filled with passion and energy, but may not be suitable for everyone and is definately NSFW (Not Safe For Work). 

If you don't care for our own personal opinions, then keep it moving - Our show isn't for everyone and isn't intended to be either.  So if you don't like our opinions, attitudes, language, or methods, then maybe this isn't the show for you.  If you enjoy lemming free podcasters that won't beg for your money or donations, charge you to be mentioned on air, or lead you down a road of lies and brainwashing, then you might just be in the right place.

Episode #47 "Non-Filtered" is available on iTunes, Stitcher Radio, & at Eviscerated.net.

Show Notes, Links, & Discussion Topics:

1. Piss Hoarder
2. 23 Most Ridiculous Deaths of 2013
