I really like this pair of earphones

I received the Ultimate Ears Super.fi 5EB and I really like this pair of earphones. I think they are one of the best earphones I ever experienced. The sound quality is fantastic and with the extended base (EB), it was perfect to suit rich bass type of music that I listen to. I like the design of the earphones and how it fitted to my ears.

OK. I may be bias on this particular brand but I am not too sure is there other brands out there at a lower price but with the same quality. To think about it, you only buy something by word of mouth. When a friend of yours and his friend says they are good, and you tested on it and you think the same, it just gives us a green light to own it. I was looking for a good earphones to compliment my iPod mini and I am glad to know of Ultimate Ears at the right time.

Blogging your old items

If you had read articles on how eBay users search for old products from their garage and auction them off, why not look for those stuff and blog it?

Blogging may be a daily event of things happening around us or a thought we like to share but we can always come out with other ideas to blog about. If you can auction off one of your old picture in eBay, you can blog it and share your experience. Say if you visited a vacation spot 10 years ago you can always share your experience with the rest of users in the internet world. What you need to do is scan that vacation picture, post it on your blog and write what happen during the trip. Who knows you will get someone out there interested in your stuff.

Ultimate Ears: Super.fi 5EB - Buy online

I visited Amazon.com and see if I could grab some discount for this piece of earphones. The retail price was $199,99 but the discount price was $149 (26% discount) and I think is really a good buy.

Ultimate Ears: Super.fi 5EB - My First Experience

I happened to bump into a friend who owned a pair of Ultimate Ears Superfi 5EB earphones. Out of curiosity I tested his earphones. I carried my iPod wherever I go and I played one of my favourite by Madonna - Music. I was overwhelmed and impressed by this peace of little monster. The bass was superb and the treble feels well balance. I am someone who enjoys fast beat music such as pop, electronica, dance and I added trance into my collections recently.

To be truth, I have never across this brandname Ultimate Ears accept for Sure, Bose and Bang & Olufsen. I tested the Bang & Olufsen A8 Earphones, it was good with clear sound but it I did not feel like owning it even though it was well design. I have never tested a Sure or Bose earphones.

At www.ultimateears.com you will be able to find out earphones for different purpose. And superfi 5EB states that it was designed with extended bass feature and they are suitable for Hip Hop, Rap, Metal, Techno and other bass rich music.

I added this earphones into my wanted list after reading the reviews and tested it personally.

Sony Ericsson P990i: Vibrating Alert

I normally set my phone with sound and vibrating alert together.

Tools > Control Panel > Sounds & alerts > Vibrating alerts > Message: on

P990i Vibrating alerts

And I remember that the vibrating alert will continue to vibrate along with the message tone. It seem that after I upgraded the latest firmware (Update_Service_Setup-2.7.4.8-2), the message tone will continue to buzz but the vibrating alert could only vibrate once.

Thorlo Socks

After trying Thorlo WX walking socks for the very first time, I must say they are really comfortable. Check out my previous blog on - Bought a pair of Thorlos walking socks.

If I would to keep wearing this pair of socks for 3 times a week, I think it will wear and tear easily. Hence I have added two more pairs into my collections.

Though I feel that Thorlo socks are slightly steep in price compared to most brands but if they benefit and bring comfort to our feet, we should not mind paying a little more as we are really paying for comfort and quality. We can always visit Amazon.com or Thorlo.com to find out the best deals for grabs.

We always want to look good at the outside, but don’t don’t forget to look good at the inside (feet) too! :)

Sony Ericsson P990: Alarm Volume is Very Soft

I just upgraded PC Suite for Smartphones 1.3.11 and Update_Service_Setup-2.7.4.8-2 for P990 smartphone. The firmware upgrade was satisfying as I can feel a great improvement in speed when switching from one menu to another and one obvious case was text messaging. There’s one issue I found out was the alarm volume. I rely so much on the 990 alarm to wake me up every morning and I could not hear my favourite music the next morning after upgrading the firmware. Initially I thought it was the configuration, but after trying to configure for next 20 minutes I gave up. Although I can increase the alarm volume to the maximum, the alarm volume just do not trigger at the volume level I want.

I did a search on Google and found out that I’m not alone. Check out this forum topic on Sony Ericsson P990 Reloaded.

Yahoo Mail Error: Debug Info NoName 978

I was trying to send email or save a draft from a composed email, but Yahoo mail keeps showing this error.

Yahoo Mail Issue: Debug INFO: NoName:978

Error Report
DEBUG INFO: NoName:978

message:Object required

answers.yahoo.com Someone suggest to disable the chat (top left) to offline but I could not find that button.

I tried switching Yahoo mail back to the old interface and did a test send mail and it works. Next I switch back to the new interface and I can send a mail and save a draft.

Could this be a Microsoft Vista issue? Something to do with compatibility?
