Sennheiser HD 598 Unboxing / Review

 

 The box containing Sennheiser HD 598 has arrived after buying it through Boxing Day sale at Amazon. There was a QR code on the side to see if it is an authentic product, but I don't know if this really is the best way to validate it. It has low resistance, so it seemed ok to use without a dedicated sound card or an amp.

 Cool color scheme. I am personally fan of unique colours and since I won't be using this outside my house since its an open headphone, I might as well get the fancy headphone for my entertainment.

 The cable is detachable which seems like a neat feature, not sure how important this feature will be, but nice indeed.

I would have to use this headphone with the adapter and it makes it bit bulky and worrisome if I would have to just have it plugged in.

The headphone is very light for its size and earcups are cushiony. The clamp and the top of the head still needs some time for me to get used to. I have used it for about 4 hours straight listening to music and playing games. It didn't make me sweat or have much of a headache if any.

I haven't used any high end headphones before so only direct comparison I can make is cheap earphone, URBANEAR headphone, and Bose over ear headphone I've borrowed from a friend. Meaning, I can't really comment on the specifics of its machinery. Compared to other headphones, I was able to hear new instruments and tracks that I could not hear before. It is so amusing to just focus on trying to find out what kind of sound I was missing from my favorite music. At first, the vocals seemed bit drowned, but it did get better as I listened to it more.

The comfort is great. Light, not tight, but BOSE one has to be one of the lightest and comfortable headphone I have tried. But the purpose of the two headphones are bit different, so that was expected. It didn't make me sweat or give me a headache so it is a pass.

I'm not much of a bass lover, but I can see how this headphone may seem boring to many listeners. However, great for acoustic music.

How to Make Crispy Corn Dog (Korean Style)

I love fried stuff. I love Korean street food. But unfortunately, there aren't a lot of Korean street food that I can eat in Kingston. That's why I shall make it by myself. When I first heard of "hot dog" at a young age, it wasn't the typical hot dog that you may know, sausage on a bun and condiments. The picture you see above is what I saw in Korea, somewhat. It's basically a corn dog but more crispy and no need to make a batter.

Ingredients:

• 4 sausage
• 2 eggs
• 4 white bread slices
• breadcrumbs
• oil

Steps:

1. Put the sausages in a boiling water to cook it a bit.
2. Let the sausages cool down and wipe the water.
3. Cut the edges of the bread. Use a roller to flatten the bread.
4. Wrap the sausage with the bread.
5. Wet the wrapped sausage in egg. Then roll it in breadcrumbs.
6. Fry it in oil until it browns. (You don't need a lot of oil, you can just roll the corn dog as it browns.)

UN - Waves (파도) :: Today's Classic Song

I am a fan of listening to old Korean pop music which includes early 2000s. I think it might be because these are the songs that I grew up listening to. The song is perfect for summer at the beach, although summer is almost over now. The song is happy and soothing for me.

The duo unfortunately disbanded around 2005, but each of them had some TV appearances. The one on the left is known as the genius and has shown great knowledge in mathematics by appearing in Japanese TV show which makes contestants solve math problems. He will be appearing on a Korean TV show called "The Genius" Season 3 which is known for having contestants play a strategic and mindful games, although season 2 didn't go so well.

The one on the right has done some acting and appeared in some entertainment shows from time to time, but hasn't done anything much recently.

Anyway, GOOOOOOOOD MUSIC. cheers me up.

I do not own copyrights to the music and the picture.
