kensoO0 — Tue, 16 Jun 2015 09:59:18 +0800

I was in my friends car when the car smoked under the bonet and konk out before.

within 3 mins after calling aam, a tow truck came. he ask if we call for tow and my friend said he called aam already. he said he said he is here because he called! he who promised to tow to cycle and carraige place but found out the car towed away to an unknown shoplot-workshop. when my friend and i got there, there were many myamars or banglas stripping car parts inside. the indian boss said due to traffic jam they towed it to their workshop.

we sensed something bad about the whole thing so my friend asked for the car back. the boss asked for 800 rm or 4000rm to fix the car total. we managed to ask for the car back for 490rm as tow fees. my friend got aam to come and tow it away. one thing i noticed is the real aam tow truck have aam wordings and not sticker like the one who towed my friends car.

What would you do if this happen?

Can recommend me top quality headphone plez

I was a big fan of KEF and B & W speaker systems for years.
But I need a good headphone for private listening.
Percussions, solid drums, rhythm , voice dynamics and spaciousness sounds are what I prefer most.

I can't find any shops who has them to test in PJ yet.

There is a cd shop nearby who has Beats, Grado, Shure and JBL headphones. Unfortunately there is only one Shure and one Grado as samples but to me it was sort of average and bordering on dull-lifeless respectively.
I also went to Apple shop but all the good ones are not for testing and in sealed boxes.

I heard AKG at Harvey Norman and it was the only headphone that I liked. Not harsh but has all the spaciousness and bite and dynamics contrasts. But what about B & W or KEF? Has anyone heard or owned them?

My budget is max rm2000. But if a headphone costing near rm1000 meet my criteria, then better still.

Rig: Pioneer and Sony. I prefer the Pioneer UK spec amp.

Music taste: jazz, soundtracks and pop

No need for mic at all as it is mainly stereo sounds i listened to from my pc and amplifier.

I would appreciate anyone who can help here to point out the current headphones suitable?

Pls help me choose the best phone under rm800

Searching good sounding headphones for pc

What is the diminishing returns when it come to headphone spending? I tried a rm400 jvc headphones against rm700- rm999 (v-moda, pioneer, sony, beats, grado) headphones this week. Although there were differences, they were not night and day.
I am looking for listenable neutral but not no life sounding kind headphone like grado.
i play piano for 10 years now. Others in my family play the violin, flute and also bass guitar and so i think i know what live sound is.

Are there quality headphones that can sound near realistic with cd quality / hd recordings?

There are young kids in the new home with a fairly large space garden. Everyone seem interested in puppies from Rockweiller, Maltese, Schnauzer, Poodle, Pitbull and German Shepherd. Since all got their own opinions, can owners here relate the pros and cons of the species here?

People with over zealous and very judgemental opinions need not reply.

I am asking for owner views as nothing is set yet. We intend to take care of it very well.

I have to buy the latest Ipad Air for someone this Christmas. But on the order form it showed options for more storage.

1) If this Ipad is to be use by kids and adult (young family), what is the ideal storage?

Which drum set to get for family use at home

kensoO0 — Tue, 20 Aug 2013 17:29:09 +0800

My bro and sis are very interested in playing musical instruments. So far, drums come to mind.
A regular drum set cost around 2 to 3k.
But I am concerned about the inert noise a real drum can make. Are digital drum sets as good as the real thing? Any models or place to recommend?

They are between 8 to 13 years old.
