When it comes to listening to the games I play on my Sony PlayStation 4, I haven't exactly been an audiophile.

Until lately, I simply used a pair of Apple earbuds that came with my iPhone, plugging them into the headphone jack on the PS4. They were available, easy to use, and good enough.

'O VRIMENU I VREMENSKOJ PROGNOZI' - Dok ih vrime ljubi i sunce se smije, dok se sunčaju po kavama i šentadama, nose veštice i košuljice Dalmatince meteorologija ne zanima.

Navlače se metri zimske robe i grinta: ajme kad će više proć ova ladnoća, da je sad dva dana lita, piše Slobodna Dalmacija.
