Hmm what else did I do this week? Oh yeah. Other than studying at school every day, I wasted a load of money on earphones. I bought the Lady Gaga Heartbeats at HMV, just because the 20% discount on them were exclusive to the store. Peer pressure led me to buy them in red instead of black $191 is still a lot of money, and the earphones are simply not worth that. I was really disappointed of the sound quality. 'Crystal clear' my ass! I've should've read the reviews earlier, because the reviewers shared the same sentiment with me. Plus, the accessories provided were on par with earphones sold at $40++ range. The only good points were the pounding bass, design and flat cables.

Then I did something that I feel a lot of people would think I'm crazy the next day. Bought another pair of earphones at Tangs after school. Well, I've been wanting a pair from the Jays brand for a long time and I thought the Heartbeats would suppress that desire at first. I decided to get the A-Jays Three at $98 after trying out the Jays range of earphones, and they sound MUCH better than the Heartbeats. The accessories were much more than what I needed. The cables are flat too, so now I feel like I'm wearing squid-ink linguine whenever I'm out. So now what's the fate of the Heartbeats? I'm considering to either keep them, sell them, exchange them or pass them to my neighbour who's desperate for them.

Moral of the 'story'? Don't be fooled by discounts!
