SE215 Sound Isolating Earphones

I bought this SE215 Sound Isolating Earphones by shure last week, yet another item added to my shure collection.  After getting my iPod nano to replace my iPhone4 (iPod nano for me), I decided to get a nice set of earbuds so I could use them while I run on my treadmill.  I didn’t really want to spend too much, thought about buying Bose but it’s not really worth the money really, so I went with shure since I am pretty happy with my previous purchase by shure (SRH750DJ).  I would totally recommend this to anyone because the sound quality is amazing, extremely comfortable, super cool looking with detachable cable, over-the-ear configuration keeps cables out of the way and the mainly the price is right 😀  Anyways, I started to sound like I am getting paid to say this but I really gave 2 thumbs up for my purchase and wanted to share this with you all :-p

ipod nano for me

After giving up my iPhone 4 to my dad for an android for quite a while, I really had to find a replacement i device so I could play music on my idevice hifi again.  I thought about getting an iPod touch but I knew I would just go through the jailbreaking process just like my phone again, which I know it’s not a fun experience.  So after doing a little research, an iPod nano would probably fit all my needs.  Now, I don’t only own a mini pocket size music player, I also own a brand new watch :p  Just take a look :p

Hot Shoe Adapter for my NEX-5N

If you know mirrorless DSLR cameras then you should know the problem of my NEX-5N, there is no hot shoe for flashes or other accessories.  It does come with a mini size flash but it’s just not enough for anything or you can get a bigger one for $199 with very limited flash power and flexibility.  Then Sony came out with a more expensive model NEX-7 (with a hot shoe), which is double the price of a NEX-5N.  Both cameras specs are very close and of course, the NEX-7 would have a higher bigger CCD sensor, other than that they are almost the same.  I wouldn’t pay $1400 for a hot shoe, instead, I am very happy with my NEX-5N but you know what?  Recently, a $30 aftermarket Hot Shoe Adapter just came out and it works like a charm, that just made me even happier, so beat that SONY :p

LED toys!!!

As you probably read my previous pot lights post http://www.karlng.com/blog/?p=5537 , I had been searching for a perfect solution to save my energy bill. Other than GU10, I have also received a few other LED toys like E27 to replace my regular light bulbs and 2 LED camera lights (macro LED and 160 LED Video light) for my camera fun. After a few tests, glad I bought all those because they actually turned out pretty good, E27 is as bright as the a 40w light bulb and the camera lights are like super well made/bright. If anyone is interested, feel free to contact me 😀

XBOX 360 StarWars limited edition

ok, I have to admit, I was never a Microsoft fan, instead, I have been a Sony Fan all my life and mostly everything I own is Sony, PS3, netbook, Rolly, even my credit card :p etc.  But lately, too many people had been asking me to get an Xbox so I did, an XBOX 360 StarWars limited edition, a perfect timing.  Plus PS network sucks anyways and I LOVE to play online games with friends, of course mainly I really want to try out Kinect :p

After I opened it up, connected everything, I am actually very impressed and surprised about a lot of things.  Firstly, whatever you connect to this Xbox or even power on, it talks back to you in a sound of R2D2, the made is super nice with aluminium top and bottom and the colour combination is very StarWars :p  Anyways, so far so good, hopefully, this toy will last longer than my Wii :p
