Etymotic ETY COM ER-22 Headset
“ETYCOM”:http://www.i4u.com/section-viewarticle-108.html. Etymotic is now making a headset. Should be very good for noise reduction given its design.

The K8NXP-9 is the fast version of the nForce4 Ultra chipset while the GA-K8NF-9 is the budget board built on the budget nVidia nForce4 4x chipset not the nForce4 Ultra chipset. Confused yet?
