My gracious Uncle Mark e-mailed me asking if I was still searching for a pair of headphones, informing me that he had a pair he was looking to get rid of. After many hours of research, I concluded that the pair Uncle Mark offered to send was much better than the Bose pair I purchased, as made evident by reviews on Amazon.com:
I returned the Bose pair on December 21st, which allowed the $140 to go back into the birthday/Christmas money account. And on Monday the 29th, the blessed headphones arrived! Here are the pros and cons of the new pair:
The pros are:
- They sound just as good, if not better, as the Bose pair.
- They look and feel more sturdily constructed.
- The all-black color matches my iPod perfectly.
- They look more normal.
- The longer cord affords more maneuverability while wearing them.
And the cons:
- There are none!
While they are a little worn, it’s to be expected. Moreover, it’s an honor to own something that was once owned by my legendary uncle!! Uncle Mark, thank you very much!
My legendary Uncle Mark, Aunt Diane, and wifey Lori.
So now the question is, what do I do with all my extra coin? :D If it goes towards something extraordinarily awesome, I’ll let you all know…
Until next time,

Thanks for keeping us posted on your decision with the earphone dilemma. Sounds like you've made a good choice thanks to 'Uncle Mark'. :) That was truly a blessing and I hope you enjoy them, but from the sound of it, I'm quite sure you will.
That's an awesome pic of your fam and wifey. Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful time choosing a 'new' gift for yourself.
Peace & Blessings,

What else do you want, Nick? I have more stuff to unload on you! I mean, give you.
Hey Nick! I just wanted to thank you for your kind words on my blog, which actually keeps me motivated. Please return to my blog entry to see the comments that I posted for you. I know this sounds a bit cliche, but seriously, keep your eyes on the prize and you'll find that this semester will be here and gone in no time. You'll be challenged a lot, but you'll also learn a lot as well. Good luck, my friend!

If you're looking to use $140 the Consumer Electronic Show 2009 just concluded...sweet stuff there.
Great article. It was helpful and very informative. Keep posting interesting matters here. Looking forward to it. Thanks and keep it up!
Hope you eventually got your headphones sorted.
You should try a pair of Sennheiser HD 595 Consumer Headphones. I've had mine for awhile now and their awesome! Superb sound,extremely comfortable, and reasonably priced. Good Luck and thanks for the post.
