My First Purchase of Year 2013

ken80s - 2013-01-01 05:46

Looking for a pair of decent low cost headset for quite some time. Finally decided to go for the Sony MDR ZX-600. Only when I realized a moment ago that this is actually my first item purchased on the first day of 2013. Anyone of you would like to share your item as an opening for year 2013..

P/s: For those who would like to look for a decent quality headphone with an affordable price, this model is my recommendation to you. Pls read the following review from CNET.UK

What a great purchased of yours, Radio Raheem!

I like the Technics midi hifi how the VU meter look so bold and eye catching, also the way they stack up..it's fantastic. By the way does it come with the original speakers?

Noticed that you are a big fan of Technics audio system..tks for the great sharing, R.Raheem!!! .

Hi driptip, cool boombox - 10 way equalizer with spectrum analyzer. Can the twin deck perform dubbing recording?

driptip - 2013-01-05 00:01

well, i havent tried it but it is supposed to,  it also have auto reverse. 

the cosmetics is amazing and the sound is just right.

i am happy with it.

Yea hugo....i traded mine for an m90...both me and ben (royal) had one...wonder where he is now lad one thing is for sure driptip...boxes don't get any bigger than these...they make a 777 look like a walkman

lav.loo - 2013-01-05 03:47

some great purchases here guys, loving the master blaster especially Hugo

and Raheem i noticed Ben (Royal) has posted a few times on Boomboxery lately so must still be active, although he has read and ignored a pm from me

docs - 2013-01-05 04:16

Bought something super nice but it hasn't arrived yet. When it does there will be photo's galore

lav.loo - 2013-01-05 07:58

i think you may have bought a super jumbo of some sort as i know you was after one not so long back, we patiently await pics

docs - 2013-01-05 08:58

Good guess mate but no not yet

I'll have to wait around a week, it is coming from afar !

radio.raheem - 2013-01-05 09:10

just bought this.....i know its a boombox but it's boxed....these sound better than the 880 (glen) and the m90 just not as loud (till i mod it)

 

bet you have something nice docs

I've had one before Lav but this one is a bit more special

It is incoming from Hong Kong so will take a while. If all goes well and it arrives safely it will be one of my favourites for sure

driptip - 2013-01-05 10:24

nice one tim, (Reno) sorry keep forgeting, 

 

is just like the 680 but w/out cd right?  

and having the cardboard box makes it a little more special, congrats reno

Hi Glen, good choice. I believe this is a noise cancelling headphone. I have tested this one before and it's amazing how the external noise was cut-off when you turn on the switch. You can feel the breath of the music as if you were in the studio.

Hi Ken, ive posted a new Topic in the Headphones area about this same said subject, check it out u might find it interesting.

Hi, this is my first 2013 pick...

it s so unusual to see this type of model here in in italy, i had to pick it up...take it to home for 60 dollars (shipping includes), look like a good deal to me now...isn it?

Box fully working, i just opened and clean the inside and repair the left tweeter...clean the outside and all the knobs...

u already know everything about this model so...i only have to tell when i turn it up i was like...., start laughin...with those basketball size woofers sounds like...my old nokia 3310 handyphone ..btw the looks is really cool, some annoing pics for you:

 

here the crown posing with my almost unique "Orange medicine box" boombox, to compare sizes :
