Somehow last week I managed to lose my headphones, either I left them somewhere in the hotel room or on the plane on the way out. Either way I was more than a tad annoyed with myself when I realised the blunder at the airport yesterday. Luckily an airport is welll equipped to deal with the problem and I decided to treat myself to a pair of Sure SE110 sound isolating headphones. I thought my old Sennheiser ones were good but the new Sure set just blows them out of the water. The sound quality is superb and the noise cancellation, even though it is passive, is amazingly good. In fact I left them in while trying to sleep on the plane last night as good ear plugs!
So consider this a Matt White approved product 🙂
I feel your pain. One night, I tried to meet my wife at Magic Kingdom. When I got off the bus, I noticed rain coming down. It was slow at first and quickly started to down pour with flashes of lightning. I saw people running out of the park and I thought this would be great if the rain stopped. Then, I see my wife and sister run past me in a panic just as I entered the park. I had my headphones on and I ripped them off my head. I thought I checked to make sure the little ear covers were it tact. When I returned to the room, a little wet, one was gone. That really annoyed me. These are Sony headphones and I’ve now lost all three pairs of ear covers. The next day, I bought the IBM headphones for $5.95. They sounded awful so I used the ear covers on my Sony and although they are black and the headphones white, they worked. A set of these babies are $10. The headphone challenge continues.
Nice chatting with you at Lotusphere!
