a real bargain....... TDK

i've been forgetful ..... again i missed the deadline for my credit card bill payment haha...... anyway i have done a part payment over axs and also deposited the cheque ....

now hope they can overlook this hee...... well it's only a couple of days right?

after my AT headphones had overwhelmingly trumped and whacked the ipod earphones, i was itching to try out other possibilities...... a grado sr60 is an obvious candidate but it's S$120........ not very expensive but knowing that i would use it only occasionally, i overcame the temptation to spend the cash.....

by chance a hope came from sony, always the popular choice for earphones i guess.... it was actually from a sony walkman phone, which explained why the cord is soooooo short........

without an extension cord, there is no way i can bring this out..... haha i practically had to hold the ipod as close as possible to my face to use the sony in-ear phones.....



build quality is top notch and comfort is also very good....... the moment the music flowed through the phones, i know this is a gem.......... details are aplenty but never harsh or bright........while bass is deep and rich ....... it made listening a joy .....

i think bass is truly a strength of in-ear phones...... once you are used to this aspect of their performance, open-bud earphones are just soooooooo ordinary.....

therefore the solution is straightforward: buy an extension cord .......



and i made my way to parkway........ and found a few choices for extension cords and earphones:

audio technica 1.0 m extension cord $9.50
daiyo 1.2 m extension cord $7.20
panasonic in-ear phones $29
philips in-ear phones $49 (includes extension cord)
audio technica in-ear phones $35

hmmmmm........ so an extension cord is close to 1/3 of the price of an entry level earphone........ but if i buy the philips i get a free extension cord, which mean i could use the sony phones whenever i want........ i found it fun to challenge myself to compromise at not more than $40........ so which should i pick?

hmmmmm, something in me told me not to rush........ and so i detoured to cd-rama to shop ...... it was there i found the most incredible bargain.........

it is the cheapest in-ear phone i can find!!... and i thought the panasonic was the cheapest..... this is from one forgotten brand TDK at only S12.90!!! what's more it came with a free extension cord!!!!

this is ridiculous value.......... quite unbelievable........ *shake head*





and IT IS F****** RIDICULOUS when i realised how good they are............ first impressions tell me they are at least as good as the sonys......... possibly better if given more time....... right now i am listening and smiling to myself so it's so darn cheap.............

anyone who's interested to buy a earphone pls look this up at popular cd-rama............ u wont be disappointed at S$12.90......... it may even embarrass your expensive earphones.........

to make the trip more fruitful i also picked this up....
