Those expensive headphones they sell now are overrated. There's nothing spectacular about their sound.

 

However, when Sony first introduced Walkman, it always came with big headphones, not those in-ear type which was later. The Kpop stars certainly did not invent big headphones. During the breakdance era, people already had big headphones and big stereos. Sometimes I wonder why we've stopped being original and most new music are just a copy of those from the past.

 

 

Beats is actually crap...

I worked in McD before too... I think was $2.30 but only because it was at centrepoint. It was easily the busiest McD in Singapore at that time... no time to even take a breather. [sweatdrop]

Things was good until late 90's where labour's law step in. Those under 16 yrs not allow to work part time for extra pocket money... :a-m1524:

 

Always looking forward to year end holidays in the 70's (still under 16yrs) to work part time for pocket money for coming X'mas parties ... :a-happy::a-happy:
