I need to plan some sort of grand adventure for tomorrow to use these things.

[rhyme]

I lost a face plate off of my headphones last week, and because Gen had the exact same pair and I could not recall which one was mine and which belonged to her, I left the spare plates in OK.

Losing the plate left me with a pair of headphones that were usable, but kind of silly looking.


It also so happened that I was about to put in a pre-order for Persona 4, so I decided to look up Minato's headphones on whim. This pair isn't exactly the same, but the price had dropped from $100-something to $40-something, and I decided to put in an order.


They were supposed to come in on the 20th, but it's a good thing that I checked the tracking and decided to come home for lunch today, because they were waiting on my porch. ♥


I think I'm in a little bit of love. (It's too bad I sat on the package for the emergency replacement earbuds that I never did get around to using and now probably never will. I hate earbuds.)



....my next goal is to make a music purchase that Dad approves of. The last one he liked was a Lisa Ono cd. (I thought he'd at least think that Nouveau Vague was decent, but he just made disparaging remarks about the recording's sound quality.)

(On the other hand, Dad thinks a lot of cd's that he buys are kind of crappy, for that matter.)

... those headphones are kinda badass.

I've heard that they're fairly sturdy, so I'm planning to take it on a field test tomorrow.

Headphones vs. doorknob!
Headphones vs. corner!
Oh noes, I dropped them again!


(Seriously, I ruined a perfectly good MD remote by catching it on a door and ripping out the wires because I just kept walking. I've also scratched up my arm this morning because I walked into a wicker basket. The cord is covered with cloth, so apparently it's relatively sturdy.)

I was actually just talking about buying Minato's headphones yesterday, but I heard that if you wear them people can hear everything you're listening to... Do not want.

I read that it doesn't really have the sound locked in or out, but I figured that I needed access to ambient noise...to keep me from walking into traffic. >___>;;

It's a legitimate concern, seriously. Just ask Sam or Crys or Gen.


In a otherwise quiet room, sound leakage seems to be about the same as my last pair, which looked like these. Maybe slightly more, perhaps. I don't think that I keep my headphones particularly loud, but Mom says otherwise.

Oh, ok. I used to have a pair like your old ones.

Well, my current headphones work fine for me, I hope I don't have to get any new ones soon because I can't ~actually~ afford them right now. :')

I'm currently living as a parasite single, so I have a bit of disposable income. I'd probably be saving more when I get around to getting a real job. ^^;;

I don't really have a real job, I'm basically a lazy ass college student living at home doing a whole lot of nothing besides studying, going online and the occasional teaching assistant for my aunt. She pays me 10 bucks an hour though! \o\;;; Still, I'm saving every penny of what she gives me because, er, I don't really want to get a real job until summer. D:
