The 8X is probably the best looking phone I have owned to date. Power button is poor which is annoying but so far so good on the latest Windows Phone adventure.
As ever thought the WP8 annoyances are arriving thick and fast. Can't download files over a certain size using my data connection, no sleep timer in podcast apps, no variable playback speed, no orientation lock in the vast majority of apps. Darn.
What a bloody good looking phone though. And WP8 on a 720p display is fantastic. It will be an interesting week but a Nexus 4 is looking likely before long.
I just bought a pair today for AU$100. Read a few reviews and seems there is a general consensus that they are just about the best headphones you can get for under $150-200. I guess they've been around long enough to prove that they are decent (released for the first time in 1985), but I'd still like to see if anyone here has had any experiences with them.
Going to these from a pair of 2010 Bose AE2s
so it'll be interesting going from the mid-range bracket to the $100-bracket. I like the AE2s and don't have many complaints but need to upgrade the ear cushions and the headphone cord which was going to be about $20-30 plus $10 postage so the new set wasn't much more to be honest.
I think that my grandfather might have some of these Sony at his recording studio. Never paid attention to the model name but I recall seeing them (or similar ones). That said, if I were to judge just from the external looking (without knowing specs), I would take the Sony over the Bose anytime
All the reviewers and even Wikipedia mentions that the headphones were very popular for professional audio engineering, so it definitely wouldn't surprise me if they were in his studio!
So so close Windows Phone but it has fallen to bits. No variable playback speed in the media player. I listen to all of my books and podcasts on 1.5 times speed and it saves me hours. Nexus 4 it is.
