A break... finally
That's right... Saturday I took a break, so sue me :). Kris and I had lunch at the Todai seafood buffet, and I had more sushi than I ever have before. I only have a pic of the first plate I ate ;). After that, we walked around the mall, where I found some headphones from Bang and Olufsen that I simply must have. They may look small, but they sound like a concert hall in your head, and you can't even tell you're wearing them. They're just plain tasty...

Let's just say more than my dad would like to know about.

The headphones? Haven't bought them yet unfortunately :). I'm hoping an anonymous internet user will buy them and they'll show up at my door :). They retail for $160.

These headphones seem really cool, and I don't mind the $160 retail. The question is, will they sound just as good on, say, a labtop where the soundcard is not as robust compared to a desktop comp? I've noticed a massive decline in performance from soundcard to soundcard, and definately from desktop to labtop when using my travel headphones. But they are only $50 Sony's, so maybe that's where I'm going wrong. Were you able to give 'em a test drive, Dan?

Yeah, I tried them out at the retail store in Pioneer Place. That's quite a gorgeous showroom they have there, and they certainly sound great plugged into a B&O stereo system :). I firmly believe you get what you pay for when it comes to music/sound quality.

I've been looking for some good headphones, but I think those are a little over the top for my target application of excercize and computing. They sure do look nice though!

They can never be too fancy ;)

If you're going for headphones, you can't go wrong with a set from Sennheiser. My wife's brother, a classical musician and owner of over 2500 classical CDs, swears by them. Just about anything in thier 500/600 series would be good. Framed site so no direct link. Go to product, then headphones For kicks, take a quick look in the premier section at the Orpheus set of headphones.

Yeah. I've always drooled over Senn's :). Probably the best thing about the B&O's is that they hardly weigh a thing, so I can wear them all day at the office to drown out the crazies :)

But you didn't say exactly how much sushi you had... (Sorry Mr. & Mrs. Short! :-))
