Sony MDR-ZX310 sound?
Not sure if I committed audiophile social forum taboo by reviving a dead thread for a non-audiophile headphone. Here is my quick 2 cents on the Sony MDR-ZX310. I was in shopping around in Japan for some cheap closed or semi-closed cans to be used in my car's rear seat entertainment units...- Ticky

With Funai, Philips Headphones (And Other Audio Products) Will Continue
I am aware that - at least for the LCD / LED television market - Funai is the OEM for lower market brands like Slyvania, TCL, Emerson. That doesn't mean that they can't make higher end stuff, but it just appears that their target is the lower mass market segment. So, we'll have to see what...- Ticky

Time for a new car, what would you choose?
Getting back to the objective for this car. As you need the new car mainly for "work" reasons (i.e., professional image and social standing impressions to clients), you have to ask whether a Beemer or a Merc would serve the need better. IMO, if your clients are mostly conservative...- Ticky
