I had my own headphone!

Saw this slim wire headphones in IT show last year and had been thinking about it. Why? Cause I wouldn't bear to spend $48 on a headphone. There is a wide range of colours to choose from and they introduce a limited edition series with vibrant colours. It is so tempting. But still, I am not willing to spend. Ear pieces which I am using in the past are all hand down from friends or it comes with the mp3 itself. Understand that the sound you are hearing are affected by the ear piece you are using. A poor quality ear piece will produce poor quality music. But still... ...

Once in a while I would see people using the headphone I had been eyeing on. Haiz.. Found that it actually look nice on their heads. Especially the PINK one! It is so cute!

Was shopping in City Square and saw game shop retailing Audio Technica ATH-ON3. It is the one I had been eyeing on. Got Wen Bin to ask the retail price for me and it cost RM45. I was like aaa it is cheaper in Malaysia than in Singapore. Wondering if it is authentic?

Just as I had decided to get it on my next trip into JB. Wen Bin got it for me. There is only 2 colours left - green or brown. He bought the green one for me thinking that it look nicer than the brown one. Below is a photo of their colours. The actual green one turns out to be a little darker, almost similar to dirty lime green. Oh and one thing to mention the price he got it for is cheaper than the price we asked that day. So it costs only RM25. This makes me believe that this is not authentic. *_*

Thank you Wen Bin~

Tried to wear it and realise that it is not comfortable. It doesn't seems to fit my head. =P Not that my head is big but the earphone is quite small in size. Did some random search online and on Audio Technica official website I saw another model call ATH-ON300. They come in retro vibrant colors with matching colored cords. Whereby the previous model (above) cords are either in black or white. This model is retailing at S$38 at various stores.

The gold and the pink coloured headphones is so striking and it will definitely stand out in the crowd. They have shiny bling bling gold or silver as their limited colour series.


The colours is prettier than the previous model ATH-ON3. Even their padding comes in different colour to match the case. ATH-ON300 only has either black or brown padding.
