Audio Bliss

I think I'm being too much of an audiophile.

I was considering and almost hell-bent on purchasing that pair of earphones, the UE super.fi5 pro for a wallet burning 350 bucks. Thinking back, would have I spent so much on a pair of earphones considering that all earphones are alike albeit the different sound quality it produces. Blame me for having overly picky ears wanting detail in music that I listen to. To nullify the ever irritating distortion, to tighten that punchy bass, to bring sweet wafting holy matrimony between the lows, the highs and the mids; between the trebles and undertones. I still remember how good Michael Buble's Dream a Little Dream sounded on the pair of UEs. But again, plonking that much money on a pair of earphones - a bit far-fetched. Guess I'll have to stick with my trusty all Grados and Mylarones before taking the plunge.

I was seriously considering those cherry red UEs, but some guy beat me to it. Good thing though. On impulse, I could have swept those off the shelves without second thoughts.

Considering that I'll still most(?) probably go to France (I really hope), I think I should save money for that and it should take presidence above all including plonking for a pair of new earphones. Having said that, guess I was guilty with splurging again. I just bought myself a pair of pointy toed Aldo shoes that blew 200 bucks out of my bank account. Talk about being all thrifty for a trip that I'll probably never go if I ever graduate and begin my rat race to riches.
