    ARe yu a raelly bad tyipsst? Google Toolbar's new SpellCheck button finds any spelling mistakes whenever you type into a web form, including web-based email, discussion forums, and even intranet web applications. The AutoFix option even corrects all of your text with a single click.

     

    Ever need to translate words on English web pages into another language? Don't bother looking up words one by one - just hover your mouse cursor over an English word and Toolbar's WordTranslator will tell you what it means in your own language. WordTranslator currently supports translation from English into Chinese (Traditional and Simplified), Japanese, Korean, French, Italian, German and Spanish.

    finally found time to go down to the fallfactor store, no stock of chrome metropolis [L size] or kremlin [XL size], just citizen [M size] & mini-metropolis [s size]

     

    citizen was selling @ S$160, pretty ok as compared to online prices, but me still a bit hesitant on ploughing down $160 on a bag...

     

    anyone know of messenger bags with a cheaper budget?

     

    seen some at Bugis Village, but not sure that's a right place to buy stuff, seems more suited for tourists...

    2. can we change the original cable since its too thick and im using it for portables. its tad long as well (2m). im using cable tie now to roll it in to a coil and put it in my pocket.

    it believe its possible but is it worth the hassle? voiding warranty, risky?

     

    i'm interested in the cable change too, since i already have 1 intermittent right channel [most likely a bad connection at the 1-to-2 cable split part of the cable]

    hi people

     

    any recommendations for a messenger bag?

     

    preferably not a Crumpler bag [too many people carrrying them around sg]

     

    saw this online, looks quite nice, but dont think its available in sg, has a car-seatbelt style buckle, so you need not loop a heavy load over your head

    http://www.chromebags.com/kremlin.php

     

    thnking of using it for work [i.e. with workwear], as i feel my slingbag can't carry much, and a backpack looks weird with workwear [no offense to those who do this]

     

    a messenger bag [with a sling that goes across the body] may not work that well aesthetically with workwear too...

    look quite big is thinkong more of a earphone

    then your choice is limited to e2 for your budget [actually exceeds your budget: costs about S$170]

     

    provides good isolation, pity about the carrying case, which is poorly designed and is too small for the in-ear phones

     

    noise from the cable rubbing against your clothes and your breathing is pleasantly absent

    i would recommend sony's mdr-v6 a.k.a mdr-7506 for portable dance headphones, even though i have both SR60 & E2

     

    good bassy sound for house or in your case [i guess from your nick], trance

     

    only problem is that they seem to be out of production

     

    a second hand pair perhaps? they were in the S$150-200 range when new

    Q: Is it really that bad for outdoor listening?

    A: yes

    1. open phones let in outside noise, u will be turning up the volume till it harms your ears

    2. the cord is really thick, and its too long for portable use, unless u stuff it into a bag

     

    Q: When compared to earbuds, does cans offer better sound isolation (in general)?

    A: it depends. closed headphones will provide more isolation, open headphones do worse then earbuds, in-ear headphones [e.g. shure or etymotic] offer the best isolation

     

    Q: Was wondering if someone who has used the both give some comments/advice.

    A: first of all, portable listening is a compromise, have listened to px200 for a short while during one of the sgheadphone meets, sonically not as good as SR60, plus it doesn't cover the ear totally

     

    u may want to consider other popular portable phones, like

    Sharp HP-MD33

    Panasonic RP-HJE50

    Sony MDR-EX71

    Beyerdynamic DT 231

    Shure E2C

    Etymotic ER6

    Sennheiser HD280

     

    in-ear phones, to me, suit portable use the best [no headphone-band hair too]

    u did say u can't use canal earbuds, but u may want to try the different sizes available [perhaps during the meets] to see if they fit your ears

    new wireless headphones that use magnetic induction instead of the usual RF or bluetooth

     

    don't think sound quality would be that good, but interesting technology nevertheless

     

    also, new zen micro photo coming out, plus 1 GB, 4GB, and 6GB capacities

     

    bet some of the recent zen micro buyers would be pinching themselves

     

    so many new mp3 players, but no NJB4,....sad2.gif

    rock music is made for gardo

     

    i like sr60 more due to its more comfy earpads, don't use a amp myself, so not likely to hear the difference between sr60 & sr80

     

    do bring down your discman to demo with the headphones at musicbydesign

    http://www.musicbydesign.com.sg/

     

    u said that u would be using it mostly at home, but do note that you won't be able to use the sr60 outdoors [this is the portable forum right?], because of its open design [external noise will make you turn up the volume, which will damage your ears, plus u'll be "spreading the music" to others around u], and the thick headphone cord [its too long for portable use, and too inflexible]

     

    here's a music programme recommendation rock music lovers

    rock ria rock, ria89.7, sundays 9pm, lots of classic rock/metal, doesn't matter if u don't understand malay [i'm chinese, and i enjoy it]

    anyone knows where in sg i can still find NJB3 batteries?

     

    emailed creative tech support, think they are out of stock

     

    arrived too late to get the S$129 NJB3 [the player] durinf the most recent warehouse sale....

     

    the battery cost around S$80, so S$129 would have been a steal

     

    i don't have credit card, so buying online is out

  23. Posted · Report reply

    i missed out on the NJB3 at $129 [sold out when i went]

     

    since they don't sell the batteries anymore, that's the only way of getting them

     

    anyway, the battery cost around $80 last time

     

    seems strange that the best mp3 player [in terms of sound and functions] is one of the cheapest there

     

    think creative has too many models now, confusing to consumers

     

    yet the most important model may not come out, NJB4 sad2.gif

    my SR60s are suffering from intermittent transmission, sometimes i can't hear the left side, sometimes the right side

     

    most likely a loose connection

     

    the thick and unwieldy cable has been the only black mark on what has been a wonderful intro to quality headphones for me

     

    is there a aftermarket solution to the cables, especially the left-right connector

     

    does musicbydesign provide repair services?

     

    anybody tried it?
