A tan suede couch that folds down into a bed. It also has one end that tilts up into a lounge-type thingie, but I doubt I ever use it that way. Costco, W300,000.
Fabulous for reading and napping. |

That would have been one of mine were the time-frame longer.

OiGirl, you've been here since before your Joined date, no? So this ticket to Korea was just the return portion of a round-trip ticket? Nothing wrong with including that as one of your greatest purchases of the past 12 months, but it seems like the kind of think a newbie might put on their list. So, is it that you're suddenly liking Korea a lot more? Or hating somewhere else a lot more? Yeah, none of my business, but what the heck. Explain yourself!  |

Where do you use your headphones? I've got a friend who rides the subway to work with these giant 'Welcome to the '70s' fugly things that cost him a month's rent. At home everyone I know cranks the music all they want, the way men should. No need for Princess Leia-sized earmuffy headphones. I can't see the point of big fat headphones unless one's a subway/bus commuter. |

On planes, trains, subway and buses; walking down the street, taking the rubbish out; working in a noisy open-plan office.
These are the noise reduction types. Once they are on, the outside noise is reduced to almost zero.
BTW, I don't listen to music, or very rarely do. Mostly, I listen to news and documentary podcasts and Korean lessons. |

Ticket to Seoul, though I was refunded for that 
iPod 60Gb. I was an iRiver user in the past, but they stopped producing good high capacity DAPs.
Shure E500 headphones, absolutely fantastic sound, and good isolation with the foam sleeves.
I store these in a Pelican 1010 case, which keeps the whole lot protected against major falls, water and dust.

| To be fair, the hardware is first class, apart from battery life, and the sound quality is excellent. It's the software and its restrictions that is the bigger pile of pooh. |

Have you looked at Rockbox? It is alternate opensource firmware for DAPs. I would not have bought an iPod if I could not have put Rockbox on it....

Drag and drop music on and off on any computer and tons of other features.
