My new earphones

Hi People!

I am posting things very late nowadays. I call this procrastination.

Now let me stop bitching about myself and come to the point. A month ago I bought a new pair of earphones. This one was much expensive compared to what I used earlier, but it is worth the cost.

What led me to buy new ones?
Ans: No quality sound and no more hacks left.

I ordered my first pair on Flipkart in the middle of 2nd semester when I forget my Samsung ones at home. Yes, Samsung was good then. A friend of me suggested Philips SHE1360 and it costed me 150 rupees. It had really good bass but less efficiency as my roommates could hear what I can(half the sound escaped from behind). As end of fourth semester was near, the left can stopped working. since using just the right one was uncomfortable, I brought another failed earphones from home whose right can was damaged, then I cut off the defective ones and connected male jacks to their respective females.

These two females are marked L and R. Now the corresponding Left and Right signals come from a male header, with common ground which goes into phone/computer. Essentially I made two different pairs of earphones to work as one(after clipping off dumb sides). The awkward part; this earphone's left one is in-ear and right is on-ear. These is again a problem since in-ears have lesser sound loss, hence needed to manually balance sound levels in system's settings.

This hybrid style served till almost end of exam week. Now there are no partly scrape earphones left as both sides failed at once. Now I have a real excuse to buy new pair. All my friends talk about Skull Candy, Beats and Bose(The starting price is Rs.5000). I was then looking in range of Rs.500-1000(with parents' consent). At home during summer, I used my mother's Transcend. It has excellent sound clarity.

After returning back to hostel, I often turned music loud(laptop speakers are a horrible way, they give you wrong impression of whats being played). Till then I didn't spent great deal on earphones. One day while I was studying, my roommate lent Sennheiser CX180, asking me to try it.

BHAM! Those sounded with incredible clarity, ear-thumping bass and priced reasonably. I already had good image of the brand. So I proceeded to order one the next night. I spent Rs.948 and no regrets till now.
