today, after all the research and trepidation and excitement and waiting..FINALLY, my postman called to say that I had a package for collection. ran to the post office, collected the box and came back.
then excitedly, and nervously, I tore the box open (akin to lil kids at Christmas
) and there it was. FINALLY. my first pair of audiophile headphones. looking at the Japanese packaging, savouring every moment of finally receiving my cans. it was delicious and I was lapping it up. then, somehow amidst all the fumbling with the package, the bubble wrap, the box, the cans, the cables and all the other lil bits in the package..somehow..and horribly, I saw in slow motion my brand new, delightfully-seductive shimmery-blue cans...fall off the chair and hit the uncarpeted floor with a metallic *clunk*! I was horrified!!! MY BRAND NEW BEAUTIFUL $300 (nearly) A100s!!! I felt horrible after that. sure I handle expensive electronics like MD players, discmans, mobile phones with the utmost care..but headphones..guess I'm just used to chucking them all over the place without a second thought.
and now..here I am...a painful. heart-wrenching lesson learnt.
the right cup looks pristine, but the left..it looks like someone had dug one of his fingernails into the titanium cup, not deeply, but just enough to be visible. sigh.
and all within 30min of receiving the cans. guess it would've happened sooner or later..but having owned it for just 30min..feels like a little part of me just died. *sob*
