5 Easy Upgrades to Get More from your Gear

April 1st, 2008 by Mike Knecht

Sometimes you need to buy new electronics, and sometimes all you need is a simple upgrade. Here’s our list of the top 5 upgrades you should consider before you splurge on that new piece of equipment.

1) New headphones for your MP3 Player – It’s no secret that the earbuds that ship with iPods and most MP3 players do not sound that great. Picking up a new set of earbuds or headphones is a quick and easy fix that will instantly increase your enjoyment without breaking the bank. (Click here for OneCall’s best selling earbuds)

2) New Zoom Lens for your DSLR – Most DSLRs come with a standard mid range zoom lens and for many people that’s all they use. If your old camera is feeling a bit tired a new lens may be just what you need to get your passion for photography flowing again. Available in all shapes and sizes (and price ranges) a new lens will open up creative possibilities you never knew you were missing. (Click here for OneCall’s best-selling Zoom Lenses)

3) New Subwoofer for your Home Theater – Dollar for dollar there is no change you can make to your home theater setup that will have more impact than a new subwoofer. Center channels are crucial and surround speakers are great but a new subwoofer can take you places you never knew existed. Every year our manufacturers produce better sounding subs at lower prices so there’s never a better time than the present to make the jump. (Click here for OneCall’s best-selling Subwoofers)

4) New Audio and Video Cables – It’s hard to imagine something so small could make such a difference but cables can play a crucial part in your home entertainment enjoyment. Never bothered to hook your TV up to that cable box with HDMI? Is your Xbox 360 still sending audio to your receiver with analog cables? These seemingly insignificant changes can add big impact to your enjoyment. (Click here for OneCall’s best-selling Cables)

5) A Sound System to go along with your HDTVGeorge Lucas said “I feel that sound is half the experience” – and if you’re listening to TV and movies through the built-in speakers you’re missing it. Never before have we had so many options to improve the sound from your movie entertainment. From Speaker Bars and Home Theater-in-a-box, to full fledged 5.1 speaker packages, there are many options (and price ranges) to consider. (Click here for OneCall’s best-selling Home Theater Systems)
