Happy Birthday to me…

Well, im a few days early but hey. I like to think that the entire week surrounding my birthday IS my birthday – and why not?! It’s the start of Spring, the weather rocks… parties every night…
So here’s an (early) present from my gorgeous better half (and here’s the link Sennheiser HD 280 Pro)

HD 280 Pro

So what’s the verdict? I love these puppies! Sound is crystal clear – and i mean crystal. They are studio headphones, so closed and with a restricted audio frequency – which basically means they output what the audio ACTUALLY sounds like without mooshing the sound wave. Tight fit on the head, but quite cumfy. Also, a hot tip – if you want to buy these in Australia, don’t go to a shop as they will cost you over $350 bucks. Ebay instead. Nearly half price on a good day (for some reason the resell price in Aus for a couple of the Sennheiser products is way higher than it is anywhere else in the world).

Happy Birthday to me yay!

    If you think I’m saying Happy Birthday to you before Friday then you are VERY much mistaken :)

    We were hoping to make it down for the weekend to come celebrate with you mate, I even spoke to Ailin about the possibility – unfortunatley because of the cost it just wasn’t feasible :( (bloody wedddings are expensive! – we should have eloped :) ). So I will celebrate for you from up here, and I’ll speak to you on the day.

    Nice headphones by the way!

    Yeah I know, would have been such a cool surprise. Gutted we can’t make it. I’m still hoping for a last-minute windfall.

    And you’re right, they do get in the way. We should have eloped ;)

    Your in trouble with Ailin now – said you weren’t meant to say anything :) Run and hide the next time you see her!! hehehe.

    When precisely is your birthday? I don’t want to miss singing at the right time! Yep, and presents are always great! My birthday present which I donate myself this year is an oversea flight. And as my birthday is also happening very soon I’m going to book it tomorrow. And if you need any other products from Sennheiser maybe I can bring some from Germany. :) By the way, have you heard anything about Wennebostel? That’s the small city where the company of Sennheiser was founded in 1945. Wikipedia is just great: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sennheiser but better is this here: http://www.wedemark.de. Unfortunately is only german. :)

    If I told you, it would be cheating… but I’ll give you a hint – it’s tomorrow (today is Thursday).

    So you come from Sennheiser!! hehehe… if I think of anything, i’ll let you know. Which makes me assume, that ticket your buying is for a trip to Oz?
