The "New Toys" Thread

Yeah, when I tried the D900 the touch sensitive buttons were irritating, but I reckon you get used to it quickly...

I finally gave up Samsung after I bought my D500 about 1.5 years ago and I remember you telling after I bought the phone how it doesn't vibrate and ring at the same time, it pissed me off so bad I changed phones after 1 month :lol:

are current samsungs still the same?

Buba, the D900 doesn't have touch sensitive buttons (been considering this phone too, as my SE T610 is finally giving up life). My biggest issue with this phone is battery life, and that may be why I end up going back with Sony Ericsson.

Andy, some of the Samsungs now do Vibrate and ring. I believe the D900 does - I seem to recall reading about it somewhere. This would've been another issue for me otherwise as it seems I'm getting quite deaf to mobile phone ring tones!!!

Those looks fantastic, and Technics is a good brand right?



Today i got myself these:
Sennheiser PC-160 SK

After using 10 euros headsets for several years I've decided to invest in some proper ones, lets hope the mic lasts more than 3 months this time

Some nice new stuff there.

I've some new bling as well:
Motorola E815

I'm very happy with the new RAM, it's overclocking well and giving good timings as well. The new E815 does basically everything a RAZR does, but it isn't one so it actually stays together properly. Overall, I must say that I'm very happy with both purchases.

Good choice on the Moto phone. I've got one as well (for close to a year now) and I have nothing but good things to say about it. Not only does it do everything the RAZR does it also has a Micro SD slot (instead of the RAZR's mini USB port).

I'm no audiophile, but those headphones produced the best sounds (in my opinion, of course :lol: ) compared to Sony V900HD, and Sennheiser HD280. Grado's SR60 were better with classical music, but my fav are pop and techno, so I wouldn't be able to use Grado's to the fullest. As far as I know, Technics is pretty good, and quite popular among DJ's.

Have you got a headphone amp for these as well, or do you just drive them direct from a source (like a computer or something)?
And which specific model are they? I'm looking at replacing my headphones now as well...

I just plug the headphones directly to my iPod Nano, so I'm definitely not using the them to the fullest. However, when I was trying on numerous headphones at the radio shop, they were connected to an amp, and that really made the difference. The specific model I have is the Technics DH1200, and if you do a bit of price comparison on the net, you might be able to get a good deal (unlike me; I live in Canada, and most of the online vendors are from the US, and when they ship things to Canada, they charge like $30US S & H, plus 14% Ontario sales tax when the package enters the country)

I just checked the price of that thing, second hand for 150 euros, god new it must be quite a bit more.
But then again, a pair of good headphones can be used quite a bit through out thier life.

Don't worry, you'll get used to them. It's just the first few days after the adjustment that really hurts your teeth; that's when you have the most trouble eating. I've had braces when I was a kid; it was a painful experience because the dentist needed to extract 4 teeth out of my mouth in order to fit the braces
