New Purchase!

(skip to bottom if reading a boring story of my day is not what your looking for and just want to know what the purchase really is!)
It was a pretty early morning today. I rose around 9am today, not bad for a weekend that’s for sure. I had to make a trip to the bank and pick up my regular weekly groceries. I was pleased to cash-in two government GST return cheques that are always a nice surprise in the mail. It really feels like free money when these bad boys roll in.
SO the past few days I have been just scouting the FutureShop website for various electronics that are new these days. I happened to come across a bunch of headphones, many of which are $100+ !!! I guess I have not really looked into this section before but geez those are some expensive ear speakers. I did however come across a set that was fairly priced and had really great reviews.
Alright so here is a little information on me, I have pretty small ears, yes smaller then average. The fact that I only own a pair of those ear plugs for headphones makes the listening experience quite painful after a good hour or so. The speakers on my laptop are sufficient at times, but the sound quality isn’t the greatest and I can still hear all external noise in the apartment. So what better then to get some nice headphones that cover the ears.
After the bank I wandered into FutureShop and bought myself the headphones! It is a bit funny to think that the government financed my purchase and actually received some of it back with the tax on the bill.
Anyways, I got my food and jumped on the bus back home.
I am happy to say that although my ears are quite small my head may just be average. My conclusion on this is that when the headphones were removed form the package they actually fit perfectly on my head without the need to resize them, what a relief. Im no Dumbo, but at least im no melon head either
THESE HEADPHONES ARE ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! THE QUALITY THESE THINGS PRODUCE IS UNREAL AND VERY COMFORTABLE!!!(not to mention I don’t know how loud I’m talking with them on)
The headphones are Panasonic Stereo Headphones (RPHTX7K).
A little description from the website “Retro-style Stereo Headphones for use with your MP3 Player or Personal CD Player for a quality listening experience. They have a distinctive padded headband and comfortable padded ear cushions. Also included is a 2 metre extension cord and stereo plug adaptor for home use.“
