After 10+ years of use, my Sony Walkman ‘bud’ earphones finally died on one side. The wire appears to be broken (jiggle it and it works). Not bad value!

They were low-end Fontopid buds that came with a (still working) Walkman. I think it was an xmas gift from M&D because my brothers had the same thing.

Later on they were used with a Sony Psyc Discman (free from HP.. cheers guys!) and finally on an iPod (free from Open Windows.. cheers guys!).

For all those years of loyal service I decided to replace them with another set of Fontopid buds: MDR-E828LP’s to be exact. $25.50AUD from JB HiFi in Eastland.

Picked up 5th Element Collector’s Edition DVD while I was there.
