More Sony and more dim sum and I hate being sick.

So I ah picked up another set of headphones- the Sony MDR-X05 in red. The Sony Store in Kingsway was closing (sigh) and this was marked down to a quarter of its MSRP. I also picked up an HDMI to vga adapter since I frequently encounter VGA projectors and Sony decided to remove the VGA port from the DUO 13, my preferred mobile office.

Its really red and nice looking but it feels cheap as heck. Its also endorsed by Simon Cowell, which I really could not care less about- Simon even had the audacity to say these were simply the best headphones in the word. They aren’t. By far. But I like the design a lot and they are a very fun can that can have a huge range in sound stage- these respond very well to EQing – it starts off as being way too bass heavy, but the bass can be controlled.

Cleanish tables.

Getting hot congee, one of my faves. Also a necessity since I seem to have developed a real pain in the ass cold that did not go away yesterday. I am exhausted, achy and kidn of coughing, but at least no sore throat or nausea.

Ha gow.

These cans are electric red. I like the style a lot, although my sickness really isn’t appreciating the bass on these. Another time to appreciate them.

Now I have two passive bass cans- the Skullcandy MixMasters are much better built and both have rolled off highs and mids. The Sony is kind of ridiculous though and the bass is just way too much- they based these off their XTRA Bass line up and it certainly shows. The good thing is that the Sony cans do respond to EQ well, so I can control it. The Skullcandys are kind of locked in to dance/pop/electronica/trance and nothing else. Even hip hop sounds lost on the Skullcandys.
