Build or modify your own PC:Yes

6 Cores for cheap! Purchased here from Best Buy online.
I shut Core Performance Boost off. Set the following settings in my Bios to get 3.5 GHz.

[CPU frequency]: 3500 MHz = 14.0 x 250 MHz;
[HT frequency]: 2000 MHz = 8 x 250 MHz;
[NB frequency]: 2000 MHz = 8 x 250 MHz;
[Memory frequency]: 1666 MHz = 6.66 x 250 MHz.

No voltage increase required. This CPU rocks!
The Stock Cooler is actually pretty good with this. Has heatpipes. Seems quiet to me during normal use. It only got loud when I ran Prime95 to stress test the cpu for 6 hours. Still impressed since it never let my cpu go above 49 celsius and very stable. And I don't plan on running Prime95 during normal use.

Sony - Extra Bass Wireless Over-the-Ear Headphones - Black

Enjoy your music with these Sony Extra Bass MDRXB950BT/B headphones, which feature Electronic Bass Boost circuitry for deep low-end sound. Bluetooth technology with AAC and aptX support allows easy wireless pairing with compatible devices.

Superb

By flagrant99 from Bethel, CT

I just got these earlier tonight from my local bestbuy and they are awesome. Extremely comfortable. The bass is great but I think it is better with the bass button off. Using with my Samsung Note 3. I was working out the other day with my "wired" headpones and the wire kept getting caught on the exercise equipment. Decided it was time to try out Bluetooth but I did not want to sacrifice on sound. Did research all day and came up with these guys, I like bass and boy these have it. The mids and highs are still clear. Can't wait to exercise with these. A lot of reviewers gave these excellent reviews and I can see why. They sound awesome without needing a wire. They feel well built and the cushioning is great.

Updated Information on wired connection

April 2, 2015

I still like these for wireless, but for wired they are pretty annoying. Found at last night the wired connection ONLY works with the proprietary cable supplied with the head phones. A standard audio cable I have that works with 4 other pairs of head phones does not work at all with these. At first I thought these were broken, but to my surprise it does state in the manual that wired connections only work with the included audio cable. This audio cable is very short and weak. I do not seeing it lasting. And a replacement cable from their parts store is 55.00 dollars. On amazon over 100.00 dollars for an audio cable that is to short.

The sony part # for the audio cord is 184674641

April 2, 2015

The sony part # for the audio cord is 184674641. I just wish there were more options even in audio cords that could be purchased. There is only one short one. I just don't understand why sony made the audio connector port not work with a standard 3.5 audio cable.
