Sony NW-HD5I recently got hold of this little beauty, a Sony NW-HD5. It's the latest addition to Sony's NW-HD series, their iPod killers. I had always wanted an iPod, and came close to getting one before i found this one. I won't review it, since there's a bunch on the internet anyway, all i know is that to anyone considering an (20GB)ipod-like mp3 player, and who doesn't want to get an ipod because of its looks, the i heartily recommend th NW-HD5. Battery life of 30-40 hours (compared to the 12hrs the ipod offers), better sound (at least, that's what they tell me) and you know...i'm kinda glad i'm not a new ipod zombie.
now on to what i really wish i would get for my birthday:
Grado SR-60Let's just say, I really, really, really want them.
I don't consider myself a real audiophile, but man I can't stand mediocre quality. I can't find any quality headphones that don't cost a fortune, sound good, and look cool. Most of the headphones i find either sound bad or just look bad. the Grado SR-60s, i think, look mighty cool. yeah, they're bulky and retro, but that's exactly why i think they look great.
