Since signing up with Fitness First and starting last Saturday, I have spent at least 1 hour there working out everyday. With my newest activity well on its way, I decided to go take a look at the market for MP3 players. I’ve never really paid much attention to such products before this, all this while thinking “what for?” Well, working out isn’t exactly the most interesting/exciting way to spend my time. So maybe having some music of my choice playing might help the experience.
As with all other I.T. products, the best place to browse & shop is at Low Yat. Most of the players on display were nifty little MP4 players. There’s really a lot to choose from, varying in size, color, specification & price. None really caught my eye, nor my ear. MP4 player… “What for?”
Some more walking around and browsing led me to come across the Samsung Pendant. Gorgeous little thing in an elegant shiny black. 512MB retails at RM349 while the 1GB one costs RM399. Upon trying it out for size (audio quality), I was amazed. Samsung’s DNSe technology brings a fantastic 3D effect. It’s kind of like listening to music on a high-end hi-fi system in a small room. I decided immediately that I just had to have it.
I didn’t want a mere 512MB MP3 player. A little bargaining brought the price of the 1GB model down to RM380, a miserable 5% discount. They didn’t have the 1GB model in black, so I settled for the silver/white one. Like I said, I just had to have it. Silver/white is just as gorgeous actually.
For those who haven’t really had a look at what’s available out there, there are some other lesser known brands of MP3/MP4 players out in the market today. Competition is strong and they go for as little as RM100 to RM300 and beyond depending on specs.
I could have settled for a simple ciplak brand which still supplies decent quality music to my ears, but being me I’d never do that! LOL! I wouldn’t want to wind up using it for just one week before throwing it aside for a much better brand/model. I guess the same applies for my love life, and why I’m still single.
