Still pushing on the pulling door

Anywhere M905

Lately, I haven't been blogging. I was busy with school, I am having my pre-holiday now. It's not holiday yet, still got some stuffs to be done. Was kinda' busy lately, I had to freeze my gym account for April as I needed to focus on my assignment.

There's quite some update happening around me but I didn't blog about it. Now that I finally get to breathe again, I'm dropping by.

I went back to the gym today and I felt really weak. I know that I sucked at my stamina and now I'm doing my best to make it better, every time I hit the gym now and then, I'm going for some cardios before my strength workout. I even feel that I wanna' let go out my strength workout and focus on my cardio first.

My girl even beat me on the treadmill, that's how lousy I got and I am so proud of her.

Back to the topic, my bro recently bought me a new mouse. This is by far the best mouse I have ever owned. It's the Logitech Anywhere M905, the name says it all - the technology is so good that I can use the mouse even on a glass surface.

Inside the box

So in the box, there's the mouse, a pouch, a CD, a Logitech Nano receiver and a user guide for dummies. Also, it comes with a pair of DURACELL batteries. This mouse consists of 5 buttons. And the scroll wheel is really cool, there's 2 different kind of function for the wheel. One is with the friction that sounds every time you scroll, and by clicking at the wheel, it changes to a anti-friction scroll wheel which is so darn pretty cool. I can scroll the whole page with a spin and that's what I really want for a mouse.

See the top view of the mouse? See how sexy it is?

The side view

There's two buttons over there for my thumb. They function as the "forward" and "back"  button. It's pretty convenience for me to browse through folders and webpage.

The bottom view (lid closed)

Now there's the bottom with the lid cover closed. There stated "Darkfield." What a name, sounds like some kind of term that would normally be used in Power Rangers or Kamen Rider.

This is how you turn on the mouse, in case you didn't know.

Inside the mouse

Under the cover, that's where the batteries and the Nano Receiver sit in when not in used.

The front view looks fantastically nice.

Inside the pouch

Here's a photo of the mouse inside the pouch. With this pouch, there's no need to worry about scratching your lovely mouse when it's kept in your laptop bag.

I find that it's really good to purchase a mouse from Logitech as if you are not into gaming. I find that when I mention about a mouse, people would recommend Razer, Steelseries and etc. I find that it's unnecessary for such kind of mouse especially when I'm not into gaming, I'm not sure about the precision of those mouse as I had never used them before. Those gaming mouse are more expensive than this. Although the difference of the price is not that huge, Logitech offers a 3-years warranty where as other brands offer 1 year.

Buying an expensive mouse doesn't make your computer flies. It's true but there's still difference when using a good mouse compared to a RM50 mouse. Some people say that, "a RM50 mouse and a RM200 mouse function as a mouse. So why pay more?" Seriously, I don't know either. Maybe it makes me feel stupid, and makes me feels syiok about it at the same time.

And maybe a reason for me to blog about it as well huh? By the way, I'm a fan of Logitech.

My New Headphone

It has been a rough week  and I'm all stressed up. I went to bed really early last night, but I was on my bed thinking about all sorts of thing. Mostly about my assignments, which is not really a bad thing. But I was supposed to be sleeping but it kept me awake. Wasn't feeling that good today either, feeling some soreness on my neck. It's so annoying actually.

In order to release some tension, I decided to go get myself a new headphone. I was waiting for this Pioneer HDJ-500 from a shop but they never called me so I gave up.

So I went to ONEJAYA and there's this shop (S.L.C.G - located at ground floor) selling headphones and some computer accessories, mainly on headphones though. I went there and checked out some of the products, testing is available for this shop. Not all but there's some display, around 5 to 8 which is enough. He sells Denon, Audio-technica, Razer, Logitech, Pioneer, and Seinnheizer. These are actually the brands that I remember seeing in the shop.

In fact, I was interested in this model from Audio-Technica that I almost wanted to get it even though it was out of my budget.

ATH-ES55

This is seriously damn beautiful, elegant, classy and the sound quality itself is good as well. It costs RM455, it was still expensive even after some bargains and I was persuaded to buy this.

What's Denon? We only know Dettol and Danone.

Denon is a Japanese electronics company that was involved in the early stages of development of digital audio technology, while specializing in the manufacture of high-fidelity professional and consumer audio equipment. For many decades, Denon was a brand name of Nippon-Columbia, including the Nippon Columbia record label. In 2001 Denon was spun off as a separate company with 98% held by Ripplewood Holdings and 2% by Hitachi. In 2002 Denon merged with Marantz to form D&M Holdings. The Denon brand came from a merger of Denki Onkyo and others in 1939.

(Copied from wikipedia, I don't know much about the company either.) visit www.denon.com for more info laa.

This is the model that I bought, AH-D501. It's a bulky giant sitting on my head when I wear it, it's huge and it's big and I'll look like a sohai if I were to wear it while shopping in tHESpring. Seriously, I have no idea what's all these headphones about. If I look behind the box, I can't understand a single term except for the Made in China part.

Anyway, the package comes with the headphones itself with another Fii0 amplifier that costs around RM40 which is a pretty nice deal I think?

The headphone itself is RM240 after discount and a amplifier that costs RM40 is included which makes my headphone costs RM200. There's one extension cable in the box and another what-what-jack that comes together.

After Unboxing

Although I am clueless about audio but I still get the difference between the quality of this headphone and some RM50 headphones. The difference is of course significant. When you play the music loud, there's no cracking, tweeting, crunching, munching voice that can be heard and every detail of the music and voice can be heard. They say it "one cent money, one cent stock". So if you want better quality, pay more cents okay?

The earpad is huge and is able to completely cover up my ears and it's comfortable. It feels better when you touch it compared to Renoma's underwear, no kidding. But my ears feel warm when I wear it, but it's okay when I wear it in air-conditioned room.

Like every typical headphones in the market, the brand is on top of the headphones. Conclusion, I am pretty happy with my purchase and I haven't got any regrets. I think it's worth it if you enjoy listening to musics, and to listen to musics with this is a joy.
