It’s always too easy to sacrifice form for function. Technically, Sennheiser make the best headphones. Period. The temptation was great, but I did not yield to the beauty of B&O, choosing a pair of PX200s over the weekend. Und jetzt, iPod sehr LOUD. Gut, ja?

But what made me feel really great was the haggling, in a high street shop. The guy limboed lower by 15% , and then I waved plastic. Sweet.
