  TS soldering irons are great. I've been giving them as gifts to techie friends, they're all now fans.

  the YouTube personality Marco Reps suggested someone should try to tweak the firmware in order to be able to play music when he did a review on these irons long ago, i'm glad someone took up the task.

  personally i'd just try to hack a JBC soldering cartridge together with a TS for a real-cheap 'ultimate' soldering iron.. bit then i'd be without tunes, I guess.

  Because you can.

  This reminds me of a Stephen Chow comedy with absurd spy gadgets -e.g. a leather shoe is actually a hair blower.
