‘Sting would not do that. The guitars are too loud, the voice too drowned.” Jan P Muchow, of Czech shoegaze band the Ecstasy of Saint Theresa, is remembering how sound engineers used to patronise them when they emerged at the dawn of the 1990s. But as Muchow says, “We didn’t want to be three universes close to anything like Sting”.The Ecstasy despised guitar solos, used English lyrics and hid behind reverb and distortion.

These headphones are as comfortable as they are brilliant-sounding.  Jack Wallen/ZDNETI've listened to a great many headphones over the years. My go-to headphones for listening to an audio playback of things like voiceovers have been the Audio-Technica ATH M50X for years. But that's a very specific purpose and it has nothing to do with listening to music. When I'm exercising, I use the Mojawa Run Plus bone-conducting headphones. As for listening to music when not exercising, I've used a mixed bag of earbuds that…

NASA says that a potentially hazardous asteroid will pass close to Earth this week, The Independent reports. The space agency’s Center of Near-Earth Object Studies says that the asteroid, which is known as 2013 WV44, will pass within 3.3 million kilometers of our planet.

We started DJing at house parties as Rampage, which stood…
