MESEDILLA STUDIOS v9.0 (HH)

Recently, I went to Media Markt in West End Mall and bought a Sennheiser CX 300-II Precision Black for my Apple iPhone 3GS. This is my simple personal review about this pair of earphones. I’m not an expert in these things. I just hope it could help you with how to decide when getting your own earphones.

Okay, for some background first. I bought a new pair of earphones because my favorite Philips earphones just keeps on breaking down on me. It never lasts a year for me. First, I bought the Philips SHE 7750 (with the extension cord). After half a year, the rubber sealing the earphones and producing the nice bass expanded/stretched and fell off. So I bought another Philips SHE 7750. Again, the rubber seal fell off. When I got to Budapest, Hungary, I bought the Philips SHE 7850. This one has in-line volume control. I was very happy with it already when the rubber again fell off after seven months. I couldn’t find it anywhere.

The reason I buy Philips earphones is because of the frequency range, 8Hz – 24,000Hz. I’m a bass person (I also play bass guitar in my band, Vodka Cherry) and I like the bass range of Philips.

At first I was hesitant in buying Sennheiser because I saw another Philips with the better frequency range. But I decided I’m fed up with the rubber problems of Philips. Now I was also
thinking of buying AKG K330. They are of the same price as the Sennheiser. But a colleague of mine has AKG and I wasn’t impressed with it.

Yeah I know. I’m a late bloomer. I wasn’t really planning on buying a PSP. An iPod was good enough for me. Then all of a sudden a lot of my officemates (and I mean a lot!!!) started getting PSPs and sharing games. One of them lent me his PSP for the day and I got addicted!

Thus, I went to the store and got me my own Sony PlayStation Portable (PSP)! It’s my Happy Easter gift to myself!!!

I succumbed to the jaws of peer pressure!!! But I love it! buwahahaha!

Last week, I was invited by my colleagues to do mountain biking. They suggested numerous types of bikes. I was intrigued as I used to do extreme biking when I was younger (like middle school, hehe!).

They suggested Giant, Merida, Orbea, Mosso… but heck, they are a lot expensive than what I planned. So I looked into another suggested bike… Trek.

I went to their website and looked up their bikes. I saw one that fit my budget and style. This is probably a fad hobby to me so I didn’t want to spend much. I just want to buy a starter bike and see where it leads me.

I saw from the Trek Website, the Trek 3700 – Matte Black. So I went to the store last weekend and checked out the bike.

I was offered the Trek 3900 with the disc brakes. But as of this moment, I’ll just be starting out mountain biking so I don’t want to spend a lot on a starter bike. I would like to be able to upgrade the parts later on.

I eventually bought the Trek 3700. The assembly was quick and painless. Well, the dealer assembled it painlessly. hahaha! The parts are using quick release mechanisms anyway.

I didn’t buy any hydration pack/bladder or drink holder as I already have a hydration pack from my airsoft games.

And now… I have a new hobby… mountain biking!
