Moving house has meant that I had to do a clean up. That clean up has led me to find and think about all the old tech and cords from different equipment which I have accumulated over the years.
I feel like I am getting to the point where I have no idea what to do with all that old tech. Keep it long enough and it falls into the nostalgic category where vintage comes back in. But it is not quite old enough to fall in that category!
Perhaps that there is a lesson learnt in all of that - only keep that which will be used again as there really is not a whole lot of value remaining in that equipment and that I need to trade some of the stuff out more quickly before it loses all residual value. I definitely know I am not a trader in that regard, so something I perhaps need to learn to do!
Currently, I am looking to get some new earphones. I had toyed with some cheaper bluetooth headphones. AIWEI and JoyRoom, but sadly while they offered a lot of promise, the build quality seemed to not hold up to my everyday usage (for the AIWEIs) and the JoyRooms seem to have an issue with random dialling on my phone when I hooked them up via blutooth - definitely not ideal!
I have my normal headphones - for home and travel, but hardly portable for the everyday usage on commutes and at work.
Navigating through the minefield of various reviews and websites, I was looking for something with great sound and not too expensive as to be upset if they suddenly break or stop working.
I also have my old GoPro Hero 3+ as well which I have been slowly been using again. It is still a great little camera - and was recently given an LCD screen for the back - definitely helps with composition! Hopefully I can buy another back for the waterproof casing and start using it more meaningfully underwater! I guess sometimes, a mini-upgrade is the way to go rather than the whole hog!
